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.

:15:00
- Hi, Mom, I-I hope we're not late.
- Hello.

:15:02
- Hello, hello.
- Hi. How are you?

:15:04
Gee, you look terrible.
:15:07
- Oh, this is very nice.
- Thank you.

:15:09
- It's so cheerful.
- He doesn't like it.

:15:12
- What do you mean
I don't like it? It's fine.
- Huh.

:15:14
- He thinks it's too Jewish.
- What does that mean?

:15:17
You know, his name
is not Sheldon Mills.

:15:19
- It's Millstein.
- Yes, I know.
- She knows, Mom.

:15:21
- She knows. I told her.
- Be quiet. I'm talking to her.

:15:24
You're losing your hair.
:15:27
He had such beautiful red hair
when he was a boy.

:15:29
He was always ashamed of it.
They used to call him Red. He hated it.

:15:34
Take some bread and butter.
:15:37
You know, his father,
may he rest in peace...

:15:40
was completely bald too.
:15:42
- I'm not completely bald.
- You will be.

:15:46
What do you do, Lisa?
:15:47
I work in an advertising firm,
part-time.

:15:51
It's the perfect job for me,
'cause it leaves me plenty of time
to be with the kids.

:15:54
- How many?
- Three.

:15:56
- By a previous marriage.
- Eat your dessert.
