And we'll get married there.

Would you like that?

- This is like a dream.

- What is?

These look so beautiful on you.

When I first told you I was pregnant,

you said you wanted nothing to do with it.

- I was so confused.

- You said I was on my own.

You are the greatest blessing in my life.

I didn't realize that.

- And now you do?

- Yes. Now I do. I do. I do.

- I will love you for always.

- For always?

- For always.

- Forever. It's not "for always. ' '

Forever.

- Why didn't you say anything?

- About what?

When she said that stuff about

the Jews killing Jesus.

- Why should I?

- So you just ask her to leave?

Yeah, I asked her to leave, Simon.

She was crazy.

Look, women like that,

they don't come to this part of town, okay?

They don't walk around at night

by themselves.

What if she moved down the street, Tom?

What if she was out taking a stroll?

Well, then she's gonna learn

that you don't go around

spouting that sort of crap.

How's she gonna learn anything?

You never engaged in a conversation

or defended a position.

Defended a position?

I asked her to get off my property.

So, look, Simon mentioned getting a loan.

- Against what?

- Against the house.

Tom, he doesn't have access

to your dad's house until he turns 25.

- You know that.

- Yeah, I know.

- Aren't you supposed to look after it?

- Look after it?

His stuff, his affairs.

You're the...

- Executor.

- Yes.

So you can't do anything to change that?

You can't help us out?

It's locked in stone. He made sure of that.

Look, if you need cash,

you can always sell your sister's violin.

She left that to Simon.

That's worth a lot of money.

Right.

You made some choices, Tom.

Taking over your sister's house in the city,

letting Simon grow up there,

I guess you must have thought

it was good to get away from your dad.

But that cost you.

F*** it.

That's good.

It's a good idea to start the act with that.

And be careful with the ladder.

No more accidents, okay?

- So, have you heard this story before?

- No.

It just occurred to you

to write it this way?

Well, you told us to translate

as it came most naturally.

And it came to you naturally

to imagine yourself as their son?

Well, it just... It seemed cool.

You know, that's why I needed

a few minutes more to rewrite it.

- From his point of view.

- Like he was my age.

Like he was me talking about his parents.

I want you to work on this.

I want you to present it next week

to the class.

I want everyone to believe it's true,

that you're this couple's child.

Why?

As an exercise.

An exercise in what?

- I'm not sure if my French is that good.

- Then do it in English.

- But you teach French.
