Everybody's Fine Page #8
I'd have to tell you I'm not sure.
I know if I could do it all over again,
I would ask less of the kids.
As long as they were happy,
that would be fine with me.
I know I have to stop thinking of them
as if they're still children.
I can't tell them what to do anymore.
They have to find their own way.
And sometimes
you talked to me about things that
more carefully.
You presented me with the details
of our children's lives, and I...
I... I ignored them.
And for that...
But that isn't what you want to hear,
I know.
What you want is the news.
Well, the news is this.
Robert, Amy and Rosie promised
to visit me for the holidays,
and you know what?
This time I believe them.
And David...
David...
I hope he'll spend Christmas with you.
I went back to New York
to buy David's painting.
The portrait, I know which one
you mean, but I'm afraid it's sold.
It is sold?
Well...
-Were you familiar with the artist or...
-Yeah, I...
Yeah, not as much as I would
like to have been, but, yeah.
Thank you.
Why don't you give me your details?
If anything of David's comes in,
I'll let you know.
Excuse me?
I just saw your name. I'm stupid.
I should have realized.
That's okay.
I'm sorry.
You know, I knew David. He used to
hang out at the gallery all the time,
and he used to say
that if it wasn't for his dad,
become an artist.
He said he would have
ended up painting walls
and that dogs pee on walls.
Look, we might have something of his
in storage. I can check if you'd like.
-Okay, sure.
-Okay.
Now, I won't pretend
David's work was very commercial.
Here it is.
He had his own style,
and he wasn't concerned with fashion.
But for what it's worth,
I thought he was really special.
Thank you.
Hello, this is Frank. I'm not out...
I mean, I'm not here at the moment.
I'm probably out shopping
for the holidays.
But if you leave a message,
I will call you back. Thank you.
Don't laugh, but I promised to cook
the turkey for the first time this year.
I got the whole family coming.
What's the biggest bird you got?
Half a dozen of them.
And treat the children to some
expensive wine.
-You got some reds on the right.
-Excellent choice, if I may say so, sir.
-That's the sale price. Yeah.
-It's the sale price?
I'm even thinking
of replacing the old tree.
If I gave it to you for any cheaper,
I wouldn't be making any money.
Let me tighten it. It has to...
You're letting it droop too much.
get around... How does this look?
-Dad's side's perfect.
-You kidding me?
Yours needs work.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
-Thank you.
-What's that sound?
-What's that?
-Turkey.
-You're timing the turkey?
-Yeah.
That's so efficient.
Hey! Jesus!
Now you're...
It's not cooked yet, Dad.
I just checked it.
-You just checked it?
-Yeah, the juices are still red.
Well, why don't you stick
to the potatoes and I'll do the turkey?
Okay.
This is you!
Look, it has your name and
the 3rd grade written on its butt.
-Do you remember that?
-I remember when I made this.
Yeah.
-Hey, Dad, are you okay?
-Yeah.
Check that turkey, Grandpa.
Dad, that's a big bird.
You'd better cook it properly.
-Just check the leg, Dad.
-Don't worry.
-Just to make sure.
-I will. I will.
Well, Mom actually would have cooked
it for at least another 30 minutes.
Yeah, well, there's something I need
to tell all of you about your mother.
As much as I loved her
and as a good cook as she was,
in all the 41 years we've been married,
she always over-cooked the turkey,
every single year.
I just never had the heart to tell her.
All right. Perfect.
Hi, honey.
Will you help me get him burped?
There we go.
This one's yours,
if you want, Robert.
Yeah, that would be great. Thanks.
-I'm kind of on a diet anyway.
-Good boy.
-Where's his tray?
-Grandpa, watch out.
Watch out. Okay, that's hot.
in the world,
and you can be proud of the children
and their achievements.
And, if you were to ask me,
I would have to say in all honesty,
-everybody's fine.
-Are you hungry?
Everybody's fine.
-Babysitter.
-Yeah, I know.
For so long
I was out in the cold
And I taught myself to believe
every story I told
It was fun hanging on to the moon
Heading into the sun
But it's been too long
Now I wanna come home
Came so close
To the edge of defeat
But I made my way in the shade
Keeping out of the heat
It was fun shooting out of the stars
Looking into the sun
But it's been too long
Now I wanna come home
Home, where there's nothing
but sweet surrender
To the memories from afar
Home, to the place
where truth lies waiting
We remember who we are
For too long
I was out on my own
Every day I spent trying to prove
I could make it alone
It was fun hanging on to the moon
Heading into the sun
But it's been too long
Now I wanna come home
Home
For so long
I was out in the cold
But I taught myself to believe
every story I told
It was fun hanging on to the moon
Heading into the sun
But it's been too long
Now I wanna come home
Yeah, it's been too long
Now I wanna come home
Been too long
Now I wanna come home
