Not a letter?
1:03:06
What?
1:03:07
You are a smug,
1:03:10
bitter, colossal bitch.
1:03:14
OK. Guys.
1:03:16
I think this is a good time
to take Origami for a walk.

1:03:21
No, we'll miss the fight.
1:03:23
If you're finished,
I think I'd like to serve dessert.

1:03:27
You don't wanna help me,
you just wanna judge me.

1:03:31
Let's all go into the living room and listen
to Jasmine play the piano with one arm.

1:03:36
You just wanna prove that you're a better
mother than me, that Lindsay was wrong.

1:03:40
Why would I need to prove that?
Of course I'm a better mother than you.

1:03:44
I've been doing it forever. But does that
matter? No. She still chose you over me.

1:03:48
Exactly. She chose, Jenny. Not me.
I had no control over it.

1:03:54
You're angry with me because
of a decision that she made for me.

1:03:59
" Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is...

1:04:03
I am giving up everything for these kids,
and you have no idea what that's like.

1:04:08
I don't know what it's like?
How do you think I got this way?

1:04:11
Whatever this way is
that's so particularly unfun and funny.

1:04:15
- Who changed your diapers?
- Don't start with that.

1:04:18
Mom died when I was seven.
1:04:21
- Who fed you? Who baby-sat you?
- Lindsay was there, too.

1:04:25
Lindsay was in New York
trying to be a dancer

1:04:28
and I was at home
not having a normal childhood

1:04:30
cos I was too busy being your mommy.
1:04:32
And you're Tra-La-La Helen.
1:04:37
So... free.
1:04:41
Miss Party-Party-All-Night-Long
and I never ever got to feel like that, ever.

1:04:48
Not once.
1:04:55
I don't wanna fight any more.
