:52:02
You don't exactly contact me either.
:52:04
I know what you think of me.
:52:06
Please Doris, don't start in.
:52:08
Am I wrong?
It's all in your book.

:52:10
"Too Jewish",
"professional Jewish".

:52:13
You attributed it to your ex-wife,
but used the details of my life...

:52:17
to depict her with contempt.
:52:19
-What are you talking about?
-What am I talking about?

:52:23
You portrayed your 'ex'
as a horror.

:52:25
And to make her unsympathetic,
you used some of her,...

:52:29
but mostly you caricatured
my religious dedication.

:52:32
Because it always enraged you that
I returned to my roots.

:52:36
What roots? You were awonderful,
sweet kid.

:52:40
You got me through my childhood.
:52:43
Then you go to Fort Lauderdale...
:52:45
and you meet this fanatic,
this zealot.

:52:48
He fills you full of superstition.
:52:51
It's tradition.
:52:53
Tradition is the illusion
of permanence.

:52:55
You have no values.
Your life...

:52:57
it's nihilism, cynicism,
sarcasm and orgasm.

:53:01
In France I could run on
that slogan and win.

:53:05
I'm a Jew. I was born a Jew.
Do you hate me because of that?

:53:08
And if our parents converted...
:53:11
to Catholicism a month before you
were born, we'd be Catholics.

:53:14
They're clubs.
They're exclusionary.

:53:18
They foster the concept of
"the other"...

:53:21
so you know who to hate.
:53:23
That's enough!
:53:25
A question: If a Jew
gets massacred...

:53:27
does it bother you more than
if it's a Gentile...

:53:30
or a black or a Bosnian?
:53:33
Yes, it does. I can't help it.
It's my people.

:53:36
They're all your people.
:53:37
Burt is right about you.
You're a self-hating Jew.

:53:41
I may hate myself,
but not because I'm Jewish.

:53:44
Not a self-hating Jew,...
:53:46
but look how he talks about them
in his stories.

:53:50
Max and Dolly Pincus
were married for 30 years.

:53:53
They raised two children...
:53:55
participated generously at
family weddings and bar mitzvahs.

:53:59
Max, How are you?
