''Introducing her to my pop. ''
:04:05
- Hey, how are ya?
- How're ya doin'?

:04:07
- How're ya doin' yourself?
- This is Gertrude.

:04:10
Hi. Merry Christmas.
:04:14
- And what do you do, Mr. Trinke?
- Easy on the ''Mr. Trinke''. lt's Bart.

:04:18
l work for the borough,
for 30 years now.

:04:20
He's the only man in Highlands
licensed to operate the street sweeper.

:04:24
Oh, man, l always wanted
to ride in one of those things.

:04:27
Well, you continue seeing my son,
l can probably get you a turn at the wheel.

:04:31
l was only gonna sleep with him
a few more times and then dump him,

:04:35
but now, after an offer like that...
:04:37
Holy shit.
Listen to the mouth on this one!

:04:39
Oh, yeah, they don't make 'em
like Mom anymore, do they, Dad?

:04:42
- Now, listen, l'm goin' to the bar.
- What a shock.

:04:45
lf you guys are gonna do anything
while l'm gone, stay the hell off of my bed.

:04:49
- You're going to a bar?
- Didn't he tell ya? l'm an alcoholic.

:04:53
- Well, l wanna go to the bar too.
- No, you don't wanna go to this bar.

:04:57
lt's a bunch of old guys talkin' about
how good they had it under Kennedy.

:05:00
The man was a goddamn saint.
:05:03
l'm goin' to the bar with your dad.
You can come if you want.

:05:06
No, that's OK.
l'll stay here and do the dishes.

:05:08
l only cooked.
Why shouldn't l clean?

:05:10
Suit yourself.
But don't wash that pan.

:05:13
l got a layer of juice built up for the pork
roll, and l don't want you scrubbin' it off.

:05:18
That ''juice'' is called grease, Dad.
:05:20
lt's bad for you.
lt clogs your arteries.

:05:22
lt's called juice.
And it greases a father's insides

:05:25
so that he can better swallow
the shit his son feeds him twice a year

:05:29
when he can be bothered
coming to visit him.

:05:32
So that night,
Daddy took Mommy to Pop's bar,

:05:36
where she got to meet
Pop's other children,

:05:39
his best friends Greenie and Block.
:05:42
Hey, your kid's cuttin' a rug.
:05:49
Who are you, Connie Chung?
:05:53
Daddy said, because Mommy
survived her first trip to Jersey,

:05:57
he knew she was a keeper.
