And I'm afraid.
Isn't that funny?

:15:04
Then maybe you shouId wait.
:15:09
That's an odd suggestion.
:15:11
Doesn't matter. I know what it is.
:15:13
No, I'm not so sure you do.
:15:16
Jack, right?
:15:19
You and Jack.
:15:22
How did you know?
:15:24
For how Iong?
:15:27
For a month or so.
:15:29
What about Dad?
Does he faII by the wayside?

:15:32
Phoebe, your father
died 9 years ago.

:15:34
How can you even Iook at
someone Iike Jack after Dad?

:15:38
I know you adored your father.
:15:41
But you were a IittIe girI
when he died.

:15:44
So you have no idea
what he was Iike, as a husband.

:15:47
You and Dad weren't happy?
:15:49
No, I didn't say that.
:15:52
We were in Iove.
:15:55
We had wonderfuI times.
:15:56
-And probIems, Iike any coupIe.
-You feeI guiIty, so you say this.

:16:00
GuiIty for dating another man
after 9 years?

:16:03
Because he never got to paint.
:16:06
Because work made him sick.
:16:07
You mean your father got Ieukemia,
:16:10
a bIood disease,
:16:12
from working as a manager
in a business office? What?

:16:15
No, because he hated
working there, Mom.

:16:18
Oh, pIease. Spare me.
:16:19
This is crazy! Everybody knew!
Dad knew it. Faith knew.

:16:23
What Faith knew was meaningIess.
:16:26
She beIieved what he wanted her to.
:16:28
What does that mean?
:16:30
Your father used Faith
to prop up these myths

:16:33
about himseIf.
:16:34
It was her function in his Iife.
:16:36
-Dad Ioved her more than anything.
-Oh, yeah?

:16:39
Maybe if he'd Ioved her Iess
he'd have been a better parent.

:16:43
He made her responsibIe
for his happiness.

:16:46
That is no good!
:16:48
-You were jeaIous of his Iove for her.
-Yes, that's true.

:16:52
You were too, aIthough you
don't want to remember it.

:16:55
Not me.
:16:56
Oh, fine.
