at the photo
of my grandfather,

who was a general
in Lithuania.

What are you talk--
We were talking about me back--Wait, wait--

Wait, wait, wait.
Wait. I used to--
I used to say to myself:

"Sam, the blood of this
powerful, virile man is
coursing through your veins. "

And I would get so, I would--
I would get--

I would run out of the room,
dying to do something decisive.

And I would say, "Mommy, Mommy!
Did I really suck on your tits
when I was a little boy? "

Sa-- Sam!
What are you
talking about?

Oh! I'm freezing.
Let's go back in the car. What am I talkin' about?

I'm trying to tell you
that from the first minute
I ever saw you--

Renata, look at you.

[ Shivering ]Look at you.

Everything you do.
[ Sighs ]

The way you eat your food.

The way-- The way you--
you put on your shoes.

The way your eyes
are looking at my mouth
when I'm talking to you.

Renata,
you name anything you do.

The way you hug your mother.

The way you talk to your family.

You move me.

Give me the phone.

Sonny!
Give me the phone.

[ Renata ]
What're you doing?

I'm dialing
my accountant's number.

I'm gonna look
at the Charles River every day
for the rest of my life.

And when he asks me
why am I moving my business
from New York to Boston,

I'll be able to say to him:

"Cause, man,
I is in love. "

[ Joe ]
Mar, give me
the needle-nose again.

Yeah. Coming up.

He lives in New York City. I'm glad too.

Hello. Hello.

Greetings.
Can you hear me?

Can you hear--

Sam, what are you doing?

Um, I'm gonna sing
a Lithuanian song I know
about motherhood.

Oh, I wish you wouldn't.

Um, you know,

the Bellas
are a funny group,

and they're very funny
about the memory
of their mother.

Don't sing. Please don't.

This is a song about a woman
who is completely devoted
to her son.

Everything she does,
every action--

you know, all the cooking
and cleaning, everything--

is done for her son,
who is-- who is going
on a journey.

It's really--Yes, it sounds like
a wonderful song, but--

We'd like
to hear it sometime,
just not today.

No, you listen
and you tell me after
if you think I was wrong, okay?

Sam, um, I have
the microphone in my hand...

because I can't seem
to reach you.

And I know it's my fault
because I probably sound as if
I'm asking you not to sing.

[ Chuckles ]What I'm actually doing, Sam,

is I'm telling you
you can't.

You cannot do it. Marilyn, I think
this song--

Let me see

I'm gonna sing this song,
and I know in my heart
this is the right place.

It is totally the wrong place,
and you are the wrong person
to sing today.

Now you have had
free reign over us,

but I'm telling you,
as of this moment,

I will kill you before
I let you sing that song...
