Ellen?
:56:07
- Ellen?
- Hmm?
:56:10
I was asking about your father.
You haven't really mentioned him.
:56:15
- Was he not around that much?
- No, he was around.
:56:18
Um, he was busy with his classes...
:56:22
but-but he managed
to spend time at home.
:56:27
I looked at my American Express
bill one January...
:56:28
and went into ring failure.
:56:30
I was so opposed to name tags that once
when a women slapped a gummed label...
:56:34
over my left bosom that said,
"Hello, my name is Erma..."
:56:37
I leaned over and said,
"Now what shall we name the other one?"
:56:40
What are you reading?
:56:42
Aunt Erma's Cope Book:
:56:45
How To Get From Monday
To Friday In Twelve Days.
:56:48
- Hey, guys?
- Up here.
:56:50
- Shall I put it away?
- You'd better or else
he'll call the thought police.
:56:54
And they'll come in in tweed jackets...
:56:57
and pummel us with rolled up
New York Times.
:57:00
Whoa! ls this dissension
in the ranks?
:57:03
Should I do my reading
from this tonight?
:57:05
No. No readings this Thanksgiving.
Nobody even likes the readings.
:57:10
- It's just gonna be us.
- And Jordan.
:57:13
Wait a minute. You're gonna buck
26 years of tradition?
:57:16
You're gonna take away Frost and Whitman
and all those other exciting dead guys?
:57:19
- Are you feeling all right?
- Shut up.
:57:21
You are not going to believe
who is downstairs with Harold.
:57:25
Oliver Most...
:57:27
poet laureate, in our house.
:57:33
- What is that book?
- Oh, it's mine.
:57:36
Ellen, could you put up, like, some
hors d'oeuvres or something for them?
:57:41
Are they staying?
:57:42
Yeah.
:57:48
- Hmm.
- Uh-huh. Great.
:57:52
- Dad?
- Yeah.
:57:55
lt was just supposed
to be Jordan and us, just family.
