00:00I'm 50 years old, I'm a partner in a big law firm, you know, I'm very successful, and
00:22I still haven't resolved my relationship with my mother.
00:26Zoe, I know this is difficult, but your father and I are trying a reconciliation.
00:34What?
00:36Look, I'm moving out.
00:37Where you gonna go? What can you afford? You don't want to sleep with me anymore?
00:41Hey, I'm a big boy, you don't have to go out in the street.
00:45We're still employer-employee, right?
00:48Taxi!
00:49Taxi!
00:54My mother always humiliates me, she just gives me a hard time.
00:57She's always telling me that I look terrible.
01:00Hi, Mom, I hope we're not late.
01:02Hello.
01:03Hello.
01:04Hi, how are you?
01:05Gee, you look terrible.
01:06My mother did it again.
01:08Well, how do you suppose I feel with her out there calling me all those strange foreign names?
01:12What's a kurva anyway?
01:14Oh, it's Jewish.
01:15For what?
01:16Well, not really, you know, it's a whore.
01:19Hello, room service? Send up a room.
01:22Just kidding, it's me, Zoe.
01:24Why, I am a little bit in hot water.
01:26Maybe I can help, Pop.
01:28Zoe, what's going on?
01:29We're having a costume party, a big costume party.
01:32Got anything to eat?
01:34I'm taking a vacation.
01:36Zoe, you're exasperating.
01:38You are, aren't you?
01:39Zoe is 12 years old.
01:40Well, the more you should listen to her.
01:43I didn't go to Florida with a girlfriend like I told you.
01:45I went with somebody else.
01:46That greasy-haired kid, you know, he's here to score and split.
01:49He left me, okay?
01:50Who in their right mind would leave you?
01:52He's just some guy.
01:53I think you have to go right up in his face tonight.
01:55Not him.
01:56Walking with me, you make an entrance with firepower.
01:59Why'd you make me do that?
02:00Listen to me.
02:03I love you.
02:13What are you doing?
02:14I'm speaking with a dead friend of mine.
02:17Would you rather talk privately?
02:18Because I could wait in the other room.
02:19No, no, no, no.
02:20That's not necessary.
02:21We're not discussing anything personal.
02:26I'm the daughter, and you're the mother.
02:30I'm the mother, and you're the daughter.
02:34Sometimes I feel I should just quit.
02:36It's a suicide.
02:37This is a time and a place.
02:39You're right in the heart of the heart, Baldwin.
02:46This is New York.
02:47It's here for you.
02:55You know, his father was completely bald, too.
02:59I'm not completely bald.
03:01You will be.
03:09You will be.
