1:29:01
- Yeah?
- What has happened...

1:29:04
- between you and your father?
- What do you mean?

1:29:07
You've been so angry at him
ever since you came home.

1:29:12
I don't know. I mean,
there's some stuff that...

1:29:15
I mean, it doesn't have
anything to do with you.

1:29:17
- Pretty soon he's all
you'lI have, you know.
- Please, Mom, stop.

1:29:19
No.
You stop.

1:29:21
He's gonna need you.
You're gonna need each other.

1:29:23
My God, you used to be so close.
What... The two of you are so alike.

1:29:27
- Please don't say that.
- Why?

1:29:30
Because he's not perfect?
Because he's not the man...

1:29:33
you thought he was?
1:29:36
No, I... No, I can't...
I can't talk about this with you.

1:29:41
- Come back here. Come on.
I want you to sit down here.
- I can't.

1:29:44
I want...
I want to talk to you. You sit there.

1:29:53
Now you listen to me because
I'm only going to say this once...

1:29:55
and I probably
shouldn't say it at all.

1:30:00
There is nothing that you know
about your father that I don't know.

1:30:03
Nothing.
1:30:06
And understand better.
1:30:09
Okay?
1:30:12
You make concessions
when you're married a long time...

1:30:15
that you don't believe you'll make
when you're beginning.

1:30:19
When you're young, you say,
"Oh, I'll never tolerate...

1:30:22
this or that or the other thing.,,
1:30:24
But time goes by, darling.
1:30:26
And when you've slept together
a thousand nights...

1:30:29
and you've smelled like spit-up
from the babies when they're sick...

1:30:32
and you've seen your body
droop and get soft...

1:30:35
and some nights you just think,
"Oh, God, I'm not gonna put up
with it another minute".

1:30:39
But you wake up
in the next morning...

1:30:41
and the kitchen smells
like coffee...

1:30:43
and the kids have their hair brushed
all by themselves...

1:30:46
and you look at your husband,
and no...

1:30:48
he's not the person
you thought he was.

1:30:53
But he's your life.
1:30:54
And the kids and the house
and everything that you do
is built around him.
