:51:04
I am so critical.
:51:06
It's one of my worst faults,
:51:09
and some of the reasons
for this are obvious.
:51:12
But why, I keep asking myself,
:51:14
why am I so hard,
for instance, on you, Beth,
:51:17
when, for years, you've been
the daughter of my dreams?
:51:20
You have. You know you have.
:51:22
Apart from your weight problems,
we're practically the same person.
:51:26
So why am I so hard on you?
:51:28
Forget the fact that you're
making the same mistakes I made,
:51:31
and I wish you'd make your own.
:51:33
But I think I'm hard on you because
we've had so many good times.
:51:37
And I think it's likely,
as this gets worse, Timmy,
:51:40
I'll be hard on you, too, because
we've had so many good times.
:51:43
So then, why am I hard on April
when we didn't have any good times?
:51:47
That's not true, though.
:51:48
For days, I've been trying
to think of nice April memories,
:51:52
and I can only come up with one.
:51:54
One vivid, beautiful memory.
There's gotta be more.
:51:59
- One can be a lot.
- Okay, what was it?
:52:02
It's not important.
:52:03
Like hell, it's not.
Tell us. What was it?
:52:08
Okay, she had just turned three.
:52:11
She was looking out the
picture window on Locust Street,
:52:14
and it was early in the morning,
but it was already sunny.
:52:19
She was just gazing out the window,
and she turned back to me,
:52:24
and she said, "Oh, Mother,
don't you just love every day?"
:52:34
That was me.
:52:38
It was!
:52:40
April was six when
we lived on Locust Street.
:52:44
Is that right?
:52:46
Well, what about the crayon drawing
:52:49
she did of the Mayflower...
the one you had framed?
:52:52
- That was me, too.
- Cut it out!
:52:54
I'm sorry, but it's important
that we're accurate here.
:52:57
- These are my memories, too.
- Are you sure?
