:25:00
But he knows he's not supposed to.
:25:03
He feels bad about it, you can tell.
:25:05
The expression on his face when
you come home and he's shit the floor.

:25:09
No one punishes him anymore.
:25:12
He just feels bad.
:25:14
What about Nana?
:25:17
They don't let you put down old people.
:25:19
I don't think she's got dying on her mind.
:25:22
Known that woman for 30 years.
Never seen her happier.

:25:25
- Alzheimer's?
- Yeah. About five years ago...

:25:27
caught her in the middle of the night
taking the stove apart...

:25:31
trying to put out the pilot light.
:25:33
Convinced we were all
going to burn in our sleep...

:25:35
if she didn't put out the pilot light.
Ruined the stove.

:25:38
Took her to the doctor's.
Said she was in the middle stage of it.

:25:42
I felt bad.
:25:46
Should've had her in there years ago.
:25:48
But who could tell?
I thought she was just getting old.

:25:57
You didn't have any cake.
:26:00
I didn't have any because I don't want any.
:26:04
Milk?
:26:06
No.
:26:07
- Sugar?
- No.

:26:12
Do you have to starve yourself?
:26:13
No more than I had to gorge myself, before.
:26:17
You were never fat when you were little.
:26:19
And you never ate that much.
That was the weird thing.

:26:22
Not when you could see me.
:26:26
There was nothing you could do about it.
:26:28
Nobody could make me be skinny.
It was one thing you couldn't make me be.

:26:33
Felt good.
:26:34
- That felt good, looking like that?
- I didn't care how I looked.

:26:38
I wasn't going anywhere.
Nothing fit me, anyway.

:26:43
Being fat meant
I didn't have to play any sports.

:26:46
I didn't have to have any fights.
:26:51
I didn't have to have a girlfriend.
:26:55
So, you were fat because of me.
:26:58
No, if you'd had a different son,
he would have been skinny.
