:11:04
Why doesn't your mother like me?
:11:05
She likes you.
:11:06
She just thinks you're
a little strange.

:11:09
I mean, you are, a little.
:11:14
Lola!
:11:15
Lola, I'm sorry!
:11:17
It's really your mother
she thinks is strange.

:11:19
My mom saw your mother
in the supermarket

:11:22
wearing dirty overalls
with chopsticks in her hair

:11:24
and arguing with the butcher.
:11:26
It's not important.
:11:28
Not important?
:11:29
She's the woman
who gave me life.

:11:32
Whose milk fed my fragile body.
:11:34
Whose blood flows
through my veins.

:11:36
Of course it's important.
:11:39
My parents are square.
:11:41
Neither of them is too happy
about the fact

:11:43
that your mother has three
children and no husband.

:11:47
Single motherhood
is a transitory state.

:11:50
Karen used to be married.
:11:51
It could happen again.
:11:53
But I thought you said
you were a love child.

:11:57
Well, I was a love child.
:12:00
Mom and Dad were married
and passionately in love.

:12:07
My parents were mad for each
other as soon as their eyes met.

:12:11
Dad was like a rock star.
:12:12
Mom was a babe.
:12:15
The rest was destiny.
:12:19
They got married.
:12:21
And then they camped in the
desert and counted the stars.

:12:24
One million and three.
:12:26
One million and four.
:12:27
Jeez. My parents went
on a cruise to Bermuda,

:12:30
but they were afraid
to get off the boat.

:12:32
Mine were in love.
:12:34
Deeply, movingly.
:12:36
The only thing that could have
made their lives better

:12:38
was having me.
:12:42
Even as an infant
:12:43
I aspired to have a relationship
just like theirs.

:12:47
And then the twins
were conceived,

:12:49
and we couldn't have been
more thrilled.

:12:52
Upon hearing the news,
:12:53
my father mounted
his really cool motorcycle

:12:55
to buy the mother of his child
and future children

:12:57
her favorite flowers.
