I'm 50 years old,
I'm a partner in a big law firm.

:13:20
You know, I'm very successful...
:13:22
and I still haven't resolved my
relationship with my mother, you know.

:13:25
I had a dream the other night
that she died.

:13:47
Make a left on the next corner.
You're going the long way.

:13:51
Mom, I know how to drive
to the cemetery.

:13:53
Yeah, you know.
And slow up.

:13:56
- You have to speed?
- I'm doing 30 miles.

:13:59
Listen, if you're gonna be nasty,
I'm not going.

:14:04
You really want her
out of your life, don't you?

:14:06
You know, I don't know what to say.
Tonight I'm gonna take Lisa home
to meet my mother for the first time...

:14:11
and I've been nervous
about it all day, you know.

:14:13
Because my mother always humiliates me.
She always finds some way.

:14:16
Even when I was a kid, you know,
and I would go out with her shopping,
to the store...

:14:19
she would speak so loudly.
:14:21
You know, she always speaks
at the top of her lungs, and I...

:14:23
you know, and I-I-I-- it always
made me self-conscious, you know.

:14:26
I-I-I'm just not looking forward
to a good evening.

:14:29
You still react to her
like a small boy.

:14:31
You really have to have
some sense of humour about it.

:14:34
I can't.
I try, but I can't, you know?

:14:36
I-I-I--
She just gives me a hard time.

:14:38
She-- She-- She's always telling me
that I look terrible...

:14:40
and she's critical, you know?
:14:42
Listen. What can I say? I-I love her,
but I wish she would disappear.
