:36:02
You see all these all these
barrelled lifes, barrelled voices.

:36:06
Milli Vanilli everywhere.
:36:09
You look at all the things
you can't buy,

:36:12
now you don't even
wanna buy.

:36:14
All the things that will still
be here after you're gone.

:36:18
When you're dead.
:36:20
And then you realize
that all the things

:36:23
in the bright window displays,
:36:25
all the models
in the catalogues,

:36:27
all the colours,
all the special offers,

:36:30
all the Martha Stewart
recipes,

:36:32
all the piles
of greasy food,

:36:35
it's just all thereto try
and keep us away from death.

:36:38
And it doesn't work.
:36:41
So, it turns out that she loved
her daughter so much

:36:44
that she didn't tell her
that she was her mother,

:36:46
because she didn't...
:36:48
she thought
that would be better,

:36:50
the boy's parents
would accept her better

:36:52
and the boy would ask her
to marry him,

:36:54
which was what she wanted
most in the whole world.

:36:56
But it was a huge sacrifice,
:36:58
and she suffered a whole lot,
:37:03
Mommy, Grandma told us
a beautiful story about a mom

:37:06
who has lots of bad things happen
to her, and it's really sad.

:37:09
Goodness, how unusual.
:37:13
I bathed them
:37:15
and Penny ate three slices
of banana bread

:37:17
and Patsy drank some milk.
Lately she's been kind of off it.

:37:21
Grandma's story's a movie,
:37:23
Mommy, and she says she likes it a lot.
:37:25
-Really?
-Yeah, Joan Crawford.

:37:28
Joan Crawford, that's great!
Okay, let's go, guys.

:37:31
Patsy, put that down.
Patsy. We're going.

:37:35
I just wanted to keep them entertained,
you know, so they don't watch so much TV.

:37:39
Next time I'll keep my mouth shut.
:37:40
Mommy, I don't want to go
to school tomorrow.

:37:43
-I don't want to.
-I know, I know.

:37:46
I said thanks, okay?
So just drop it.

:37:48
-I don't need your thanks.
-Okay, so I'll take them back then.

:37:52
All I did was watch your kids
while you did your shopping.

:37:56
You asked me to.
:37:57
Yeah, I asked you to.
I didn't ask you to fill their heads

:37:59
with stupid stories about mothers
making dumb-ass sacrifices.
