:57:00
'I said I had to go
to the bathroom.
:57:03
'I climbed out the window.
I went down the block.
:57:06
'I saw Barney playing punch ball.
He said I look sad.
:57:09
''I told him what happened to my cat.
He said, 'That's sad.'
:57:12
''Then I cried, but I tried not to show.
Some of the kids laughed.
:57:16
Barney said he cried when his dog died.
And the kids stopped laughing.''
:57:20
His cat died. He was sad.
What's your point?
:57:23
- Nothing strikes you as odd?
- See? It's nothing. Let's go.
:57:26
[ Chuckling ]
These things happen.
:57:29
Oui. C'est vrai.
The universe is cruel.
:57:31
But tell me this, Mrs. Silver, this lady
you gave the coffee to--
:57:36
Was Helen's sister. I don't remember her name.
I met her the once.
:57:39
Was there some painful thing
about this stranger...
:57:41
that required
your immediate attention?
:57:44
No. Helen wasn't home,
so I offered her sister a cup of coffee.
:57:48
But you agree that Purree
meant a great deal to Albert?
:57:51
[ Chuckles ]
You can't make a federal case out of the cat.
:57:54
Answer the question, please.
:57:56
I don't know much about the cat.
I traveled a lot for work.
:57:59
We're not talking about this anymore.
It's embarrassing me.
:58:02
- [ Caterine ] Precisely the point.
- [ Brenda ] What?
:58:04
You were embarrassed for feeling sad
about the death of your cat.
:58:08
It's painful enough
to feel sad, but on top of it...
:58:11
to feel embarrassed for feeling,
that is the killer.
:58:13
How is that my fault?
I didn't tell him to be embarrassed.
:58:16
But you did. It was more important
to have a cup of coffee...
:58:20
with a perfect stranger
than to talk to Albert...
:58:23
- about what for a small boy is a large tragedy.
- This is ridiculous.
:58:26
He climbed out his window,
a criminal in his own house.
:58:30
- Why?
- I don't know.
:58:32
- I think you do.
- I don't.
:58:33
- Yes, you do.
- Oh, stop it!
:58:35
- I think you should go.
- No, I will not go.
:58:37
Albert has a place here,
a place you have denied.
:58:40
This is my home.
I can tell him what I want.
:58:43
- Yes,your home is a lie.
- What does that mean? I gave
my life to this selfish bas--
:58:48
So he could be
an ornament to you, not a person.
:58:50
- [ Doorbell Rings ]
- God, what are you, a bitch?
:58:52
You're a bitch.
How many kids do you have, bitch?
:58:54
Listen. Listen.
This is your mother.
