CAL: Do they?
:38:05
My mother died when I was 13...
:38:06
and Dad got married again soon after that.
Did you know that?

:38:10
CAL: No, I didn't know that.
:38:13
Are you interested in hearing about me?
:38:15
Yeah.
:38:20
When Dad got married again,
it made me sick.

:38:25
I just hated everybody.
:38:27
I used to sit and just glare at people...
:38:29
or I wouldn't even answer
when they spoke to me.

:38:34
- Why you telling me all this?
- I want to.

:38:38
I was that way for months.
I just hated everybody.

:38:41
I thought nobody in the world loved me.
:38:46
ABRA: And it was awful.
:38:50
Then I found this ring
that Dad gave my new mother...

:38:55
- so I took it and threw it in the river.
- Good.

:38:57
[Abra laughing]
:38:59
ABRA: I thought you'd like that.
:39:02
CAL: Did he ever find it?
ABRA: Never.

:39:06
They tried.
:39:09
CAL: What'd they do to you?
:39:10
Dad punished me. Not badly, I guess.
:39:13
But I felt
he shouldn't have punished me at all.

:39:16
I felt he should have loved me more
because I did it.

:39:20
But he didn't.
:39:22
ABRA: Isn't it funny?
:39:25
I'm grown up now...
:39:27
but I still understand kids better
than I do grownups.

:39:30
You're not so grown-up.
:39:31
ABRA: I'm very grown-up.
:39:32
That's a matter of opinion.
:39:33
I'm very grown-up.
:39:35
More so than Dad, because I forgave him
for not understanding.

:39:41
And the minute I forgave him in my mind...
:39:44
I felt better.
:39:47
[Soft instrumental music]
:39:53
ABRA: Now we get along fine.
:39:56
ABRA: We love each other.
Not like we did when I was 13...
