We were talking about a lot of things...

[Chuckles]

A lot of things that didn't make sense...

I mean, about, uh, religious images...

and about this -

about this painter,

this painter named Larry Rivers.

And, uh -And then he started talking

about Norman Mailer...

and about how Norman Mailer

stabbed his wife in the breast.

And he said he'd hate it

if anybody did that to me.

He said he'd like to kiss my breast.

And then he pulled the car over

to the side of the road, and...

then he kissed me.

[Shuts Off Dryer]

How long?

How long what?

How long did he kiss you?

[Exhales]

Then what?

Then he said,

"Do you wanna have a go at it?"

[Chuckles]Jesus, Marian.

"Do you wanna have a go at it?"

What -

"Do you wanna have a go at it?

Do you wanna have a go at it?"

What does that mean, Marian?

"Do you wanna have a go at it?"

Did he kiss your tits?

Did you touch him?

Touch him? Touch him?

Okay, Ralph.

Ralph, you wanna know what happened?

He kissed me, and I kissed him back.

And then we did it.

We did it right there in the car.

He f***ed me right there in the car.

I was drunk.

It didn't mean anything to me.

I wish it hadn't happened,

but it did.

Is that all? Is that all you wanna know?

Is that all?

Yes, Marian.

- That's all.

- Ralph, he didn't come in me.

- I swear to God, he didn't come in me.

- Okay.

Where are you going, Ralph?

Well, Marian, we have guests coming,

and I'm gonna go and light the barbecue.

[Jazz Ballad On Piano]

Each day

Just about sunset

I watch you

Passing my door

It's all I can do

Not to run to you

- We're closed.

- But I don't wanna cry

- Can I help you?

- No, I just came to talk to my mom.

- Who's your mom?

- That's my mom.

Nighttime

- Who's that?

- She says she's Tess's kid.

You're kidding me.

A string player?

The same old moon

We knew before

It's all I can do

Not to run to you

- Hold it.

- [Stops]

What are you doing here, Zoe?

- Mom, Casey died.

- Casey? Who's that?

The little boy who lives

right next door.

- He got run over by a car.

- I'll be damned. Just like that?

Kids.

I just saw Mrs. Finnigan.

I feel so bad for them,

and I thought you'd wanna know.

It's a cryin' shame, baby.

- She must feel like sh*t.

- Mom.

Why don't you go sit over here?

We're just rehearsing.

- Okay, let's try it again.

- Mom.

From the top, okay?

Suzy's here.

[Sandy]

I missed you, Suzy. I love you.

[Austin]

Daddy, why can't I have a monkey?

Geez, I hate this goddamn thing.

Well, if you'd get a job,

you could get your car fixed.

[Scoffs]

You sure this is the right address?

We should've parked

about three blocks away.

[Doorbell Rings]

I got the fish.

Where do you want me to put this?

- Come on in. Just come right this way.

- Oh, wow. Look at these pictures.

Why don't we just take it out

Okay. Out here, huh?

- Oh, I love to fish.

- No, not really.

Uh, I do enjoy it though.

But I don't like fishing in boats
