Sweetheart.
1:12:07
I will never forget...
1:12:10
when you were
in the fifth grade...
1:12:12
and you were so excited when
you got the lead in the play.
1:12:16
Do you remember that?.
1:12:18
- Really Rosie.
- Really Rosie, yeah. I remember.
1:12:22
And you came home after
the first day of rehearsal...
1:12:26
and you turned to me
and you said, "Mommy,
1:12:29
I'm not gonna do it.
I quit."
1:12:31
Just like that.
1:12:33
I turned toyou and I said,
"Jessie.Jessie, my love, why??"
1:12:39
And you said,
"Because my costar isn't good enough."
1:12:42
"And if my costar
isn't good enough,
1:12:44
"then the play
won't be good enough.
1:12:46
And I don't wanna be part of any play
that isn't good enough."
1:12:52
And I thought to myself...
1:12:57
"Oy.
1:13:00
"This child will suffer.
1:13:04
How this child will suffer."'
1:13:08
And then they gave it to
the mieskeit with the glasses.
1:13:11
- Tess Greenblatt.
- Right.
1:13:13
- God, she was terrible.
- Right. And you would have been great.
1:13:17
And you didn't get to do it.
You had to sit there and
watch terrible Tess do it...
1:13:21
with that guyyou thought
wasn't good enough,
1:13:23
- who was actually
quite excellent, wasn't he?.
- He was. He was very good.
1:13:27
And you know?.
1:13:30
I always think thatyou would have been
so much happier doing that play,
1:13:35
even ifit was just okay.
1:13:38
Even ifit was great,
1:13:41
just not the best ever.
1:13:45
And maybe,
1:13:50
just maybe,
1:13:52
it would have been
the best ever.
1:13:56
You never know.
