1:32:09
How long were you gone?
1:32:14
About a year.
1:32:17
Give or take a few months.
1:32:20
-My God.
-You're not asking the right question.

1:32:24
Don't ask me why I left.
Ask me why I came back.

1:32:29
You should've been sterilized.
1:32:31
I could've left you there
but I didn't.

1:32:34
Don't you understand?
For once, I did the right thing.

1:32:39
When I came back, you knew me.
1:32:42
You were sitting by the door.
You looked up and you reached for me.

1:32:47
It was as if you'd been waiting
for me all along.

1:32:50
I was always waiting for you.
That's the constant in my life.

1:32:54
Waiting for you.
Will you come back?

1:32:57
Will you forget that you tied me up in
front of a store or left me on a bus?

1:33:02
-Are you still waiting?
-No.

1:33:05
I stopped when Claire showed me
what it felt like to be loved.

1:33:10
What did you think?
That I would amuse you?

1:33:14
That's what babies are like, Mother.
1:33:16
Did you think we'd talk
about Joseph Brodsky?

1:33:19
I thought Klaus and I would
live happily ever after.

1:33:23
Adam and Eve in a
vine-covered shack. I was crazy.

1:33:26
-You were in love with him.
-I was, all right?

1:33:29
I was in love with him,
baby makes three and all that crap.

1:33:32
Then why did you leave him?
1:33:35
-Why did you leave him?
-I didn't leave him. He left me.

1:33:42
You wanna know about your father?
1:33:45
He left us when you were
six months old for another woman.

1:33:48
I never saw him again until he came
looking for you when you were 8.

1:33:53
-He came to see me?
-Yes, he did.

1:33:55
But it was too late. Why should I let
him see you after what he did to me?
