check on you. Are you okay?

Are you upset?

I just wanted to check on you.

Tell you I love you.

What picture?

Oh, okay Danielle? Well, she's good.

She posted it right away.

I'm trying to clean up

around here, so...

Oh, I don't know. I guess so.

I'll talk to you soon.

I love you, bye.

[Dina] I was pinching his butt

and spanking it.

[all] What?

- Then it was funny because...

- How old was he?

Forty-six. 46. He said I'm

- two years younger so...

- You know his age too? What are you...

He said, uh, he said...

Then he whispered in my ear.

Give me a call if your

marriage doesn't work out.

[chuckling] Oh.

So, how you been

keeping up with IM key?

Um, no.

I'm not interested. Hmmm.

- Sorry.

- Now he's thinking... she's thinking of dating a woman.

This is how I feel about it.

I feel whatever he did,

I, you know, I respect and admire him.

And he's brave.

- But what about...

- But I don't think he shoud've

- been so public, like, I guess he couldn't help it.

- He's a star.

I know, but I mean everything, like the

fact that he has a TV show and all that.

I don't think that's necessary

that the world

- has to be privy to all his stuff.

- I think so.

- Do you? Yeah, I think it's very private.

- I'm, like, a public speaker.

I think it's very private.

Well, 65 years old and

being born in the wrong body.

Yeah, but I mean I know all

that and if they wanna write

a book, or something.

But they have a TV show.

I don't know.

I mean, do you wanna

scratch down a little thing

read something,

read a poem or

so something special that way

I'm including you.

Uh, I'm gonna be too emotional, I

don't think I'm gonna be able to...

- Why don't you go up there and...

- I'm not a good speaker.

...read up real quick, just even if you'd say

one or two lines, I was gonna ask you...

But I know, I don't wanna make you

mad, but you're relaxed now and

No, it's not that.

It's very emotional...

I want to include you and

not keep you out of the loop.

You're not.

I remember you said

something to that was nice.

You said I was a really pretty butterfly

that blossomed into a nice woman.

You wanted me to, said that I came into a

strong woman after what I was through and...

And I think Aunt Donna had said to me

that, like I've been through so much

I was kicked in the stomach

but I just keep getting back...

Jerry said that.

Yeah, well, Aunt Donna did too.

And she said that uh...

I don't wanna write any... I don't

wanna say anything negative...

I just wanna...

I guess they wish you

You know, wish you good health,

and happiness, and peace.

Or just say

I became strong and...

And it's like it's

the icing on the cake that

that's got to you and...

My yoga teacher

always ends the class with...

May I be happy.

May I be healthy.

May I be peaceful.

May I be safe.

And then she says, if you wish to

invite someone into your practice,

you say, may they be happy.

May they be healthy.

May they be peaceful.

May they be safe.

- I watch yoga...

- And I think that's...

Like, that's

covering everything.

Oh, I didn't know

you were married.

You know,

she's married to John.

- You're married for how long?

- For four years.

He had cancer of the spine.

But I was with him for 11...

- Was that when you were married?

- No.

I was with John, and he

and I were together

for 11 years.

He passed and then I dated

a whole bunch of people.

And unfortunately

I had a bad accident and

he got put in jail

with a psycho.

But the one who...

He was manoleo man.

And then he got...

So I survived.

The thing what I say is

she talked about this backdrop.

She has aspergers.

But she's not

a full blown asperger.

She has other

little things too, OCD,

Developmentally disabled.

Depression, anxiety.

Yeah, it's like a smorgasboard.

You never have one thing.

You know when I was like 25,

I went to this doctor

who needed to test me for

something and they sent me

to Conshohocken.

- But you know what...

- [screaming in agony]

It's hard. I can't sit still.

I have anxiety.

- Why?

- I have trouble sitting still.

Since when?

I was frustrated because I

didn't know where I need to sit.

Sorry.

You know something, um...

I apologize... I-I...

I don't know

what that was about...

Yeah, I was just sitting there

and I've been having anxiety

because of everything

that's going...

Maybe you're talking too much

about yourself.

No, I just thought

I was bad, but...

I thought

I was a bad person and...

Are you okay?

Is she okay? Is she okay? I'm

worried about, I'm worried.

Did I do something wrong?

- No, no no. It's fine.

- I upset her.

That's why. I upset her.

I upset my mom.

- Are you okay?

- I'm fine.

Then I want you to smile.

Okay.

[crowd chattering]

[man announcing on the mic]

[motor revving]

[clattering]

[Dina humming]

[singing in Spanish]

Get that next one.

Hello there. Nice to see you.

[amusing instrumental music]

["Only You" playing]

Looking from a window above

It's like a story of love

Can you hear me?

Came back only yesterday

I'm moving farther away

Want you near me

All I needed

was the love you gave

All I needed

for another day

And all I ever knew

Only you

Sometimes when I think

of her name

When it's only a game

And I need you

Listen to the words

that you say

It's getting harder to stay

You got it backwards.

It looks really cute.

All I needed was

the love you gave

All I needed

for another day

And all I ever knew

Only you

All I needed

was the love you gave

All I needed

for another day

And all I ever knew

Only you

This is going to take

a long time

And I wonder what's mine

Can't take it no more

Wonder if you'll understand

It's just the touch

of your hand

Behind a closed door

All I needed

was the love you gave

All I needed

for another day

And all I ever knew

Only you

[TV show running]

I will not walk down the aisle

looking like this.

My hair has to be done. This

is fresh out of the shower.

My apartments

is right there. So...

The first time I got married

to my deceased husband,

I had a husband who had passed,

I had hair down to here.

And I had an up-do.

I have a second chance though.

Okay.

You know, I overcame

a bad accident.

I've had autism

my whole life and...

Okay.

The theme of my wedding

is butterflies

because I turned into a beautiful

butterfly over the years.

Oh, really? Okay.

Wow.

I found it really nice.

- It's a good day for it.

- Yeah.

My mother and I got our nails

done yesterday. It was nice.

- That was so nice-

- It's gel one.

Yeah? I can see the gel.

[door creaking]

- Hi, Sweetheart.

- Hi there, I'm wearing bad shoes.

I didn't think

I was gonna get up the stairs.

Well, if you get married

and you have really short hair, you

can have something with it short?

- Yeah.

- Because, you know, a lot people think...

I hdat he whole do.

And to be honest with you, this more

natural, I think, than having a big do
