Everybody's Fine Page #2
You do. Stay home.
You know what you should do?
Spend more time in the garden.
Ed said it was fine.
He said just take enough medication
and stick to trains and buses.
And I'll take plenty of pictures,
and I'll bring home the news.
I'll start with David in New York.
And if anything goes wrong,
I'll be right home.
Got my keys, got my wallet.
My keys, got my medication.
Camera.
Got my keys.
Next.
New York City. One way, please.
-$87.
-$87. There's 100.
-I'm going to see my son.
-Very good.
-You know what he does?
-Absolutely no idea.
-He's an artist.
-Gate 7. Thank you.
-Next.
-Thank you.
What do you think of my work?
You've been looking at it
ever since we left the station.
I'm sorry, I don't understand.
No, don't look at me.
Look back out the window.
Tell me what you see.
-Cars?
-No.
-Trees?
-Well, yes, but no.
Houses?
Just remember that
you've been looking at it
-ever since we left the station.
-The window. The glass?
No. Not bad, but it's a start... But...
-Birds?
-No. Not birds.
-Rocks?
-Not rocks. No, that's ridiculous.
Rocks! You're just guessing.
I'm gonna stick with this lady here.
I think she has an idea.
No, honestly,
I really have no idea what you mean.
You know, just look for the rhythm.
-The telephone poles?
-Close. Close.
-The wire?
-Yeah. Keep going. Keep going.
-Really, I give up.
-No, no. Okay. That's it. That's it.
The wire, that's good.
I mean, I didn't make the wire,
I didn't hang the wire,
but I coated the wire.
I protected it with PVC coating
against the rain, the moisture, heat,
stuff like that.
So, what you actually see
is not the wire. It's my PVC coating.
I ran 1,000 miles of wire a week,
non-stop.
Non-stop.
If you just think for a minute,
all the conversations
that have taken place over that wire.
Breaking good news and bad news.
Yeah.
-I'll show you something.
-Sure.
These are my children.
Robert, the conductor.
David, the artist. Rosie, the dancer.
Amy, very high up in advertising.
A million feet of wire
to get them where they are today.
-It's a nice picture.
-Thank you.
Million feet of wire
to get them where they are today.
-Rocks?
-Yeah, right. That's right. Rocks.
They were all...
They were all supposed to visit me,
and we were gonna have
a family reunion,
and instead they all canceled on me
at the last minute.
You lock yourself out, honey?
No, I didn't lock myself out.
My son lives here.
I'm just waiting for him.
You can come wait with me if you want.
I know a place.
Thank you.
That's nice of you, though.
-You sure?
-Thank you.
You wanna see my leg?
You wanna see mine?
