So my mom sees this mirror
at the foot of our bed.

:00:04
And she says, "Ai-ya,
a mirror there is bad luck.

:00:07
All the romance will hit the mirror,
poom, go back the opposite direction."

:00:12
- So what'd you do?
- We moved it.

:00:14
Yeah, put that baby
right on the ceiling.

:00:16
- Waverly loves it.
- So I've heard.

:00:18
Yeah, well, this guy
will do anything for her.

:00:22
- But they're allies. But now
it's getting out of hand...
- Ah.

:00:24
because after the party,
we're going to Lake Tahoe...

:00:27
-and he actually asked her to come with us.
-Okay!

:00:29
- Come on, she'd have a great time!
- What are you, nuts?

:00:31
Well, choosing between the two of us,
I'd rather I had the great time, okay?

:00:34
- You'll have a good time.
- Easy, cowboy.
- Oh.

:00:38
Ah, ah, ah, save some
room for dessert.

:00:41
My mom's cake is coming out, and I'm
counting on you guys for two slices apiece.

:00:44
- She'll eat five.
- Ten.

:00:46
Uh, do I have to use chopsticks?
Because it could take a while.

:00:55
- Where's Jennifer?
- Oh, her Auntie June
is putting her down for a nap.

:00:59
- Oh, I'll go check on her.
- Oh, yeah.

:01:04
And now the woman was old.
:01:06
And she had a daughter who
grew up speaking only...

:01:09
English and swallowing
more Coca-Cola than sorrow.

:01:13
- What's "sorrow"?
- Sadness.

:01:17
For a long time now, the woman
wanted to give her daughter...

:01:20
the single swan feather
and tell her--

:01:23
Is the swan real?
Is there really a swan?

:01:28
I don't know, baby.
It's my mama's story..

:01:32
And we can't ask her
'cause she's dead.

:01:46
And the woman would
tell her daughter...

:01:49
"This feather
may look worthless...

:01:51
but it comes from afar and carries with it
all my good intentions."

:01:56
- What's "intentions"?
- Oh, a good intention means...
