:58:00
Well, I mean...
:58:04
They have no place else to go.
Oliver is down from Harvard
for a book-signing tour.
:58:08
He's all by himself. Come on. You know
your mother loves Oliver Most's work.
:58:12
You promised.
:58:14
Well, I can't very well
disinvite them now, can I?
:58:18
And we could all use a little
holiday cheer around here now.
:58:21
Couldn't we?
:58:32
Get up!
:58:35
- Okay. Thank you.
- Oh, Ellen. You did this?
:58:39
- Oh, Ellie.
- You don't have to be
concerned with things like that.
:58:42
- There's plenty of time.
- I have to pay
my father when I get back.
:58:45
- I don't know if I feel good about it.
- Would you like some wine?
:58:48
Well, you know,
there is plenty of time.
:58:50
A writer writes something.
He calls his friend. He says...
:58:54
"I'm finished writing a little
something, and it's not very good.
:58:57
In fact, it's terrible.
The worse part about it is
it's the best thing I can do.,,
:59:02
And that was Steinbeck,
Grapes of Wrath.
:59:05
Your father tells me you write
literary reviews from time to time.
:59:08
- Mm-hmm. That's right.
- That's interesting.
Like father, like daughter.
:59:12
Tell me, have you ever had the
opportunity to review any of my work?
:59:16
Um...
:59:21
- I want to say grace now.
- Oh, good.
:59:27
Uh, no, George,
I want to say my own grace.
:59:30
Of course.
:59:41
Thank you for the world so sweet.
:59:44
Thank you for the food we eat.
:59:47
Thank you for the birds that sing.
:59:50
Thank you, God, for everything.
:59:54
And thank you, Ellie, for making
such a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner.
:59:59
Sure.
