Ararat
- You can't bring this in.
- Please.
- No fruit or vegetables.
That includes...
pomegranates. It's on your form.
- I like to eat the seed
of this fruit.
One each day. For luck.
- I'm sorry, that's not allowed.
[Announcement]:
For securityreasons, please do not leave
your bags unattended.
Veuillez garder avec vous
vos bagages a main
en tout temps
pour des raisons de securite
- What are you doing?
- This way, I don't need
to bring it in.
I eat it here,
at the gate of your country.
Look.
So, I bring luck in my stomach.
Will you try it?
Raffi, the real point of this poem
is that the girlfriend is crazy!
'No!' The girlfriend said angrily,
'I want your mother's heart!'
So the boy went and killed his mother.
You know what they say...
There's always
As he ran through the streets
with her heart in his hands,
he tripped and fell.
His mother's heart cried out...
'My poor boy!'
'Did you hurt yourself?'
- You know what?
I completely forgot
you had a party.
- I told you she...
The party's not the point.
The fact is, you make
these physical appearances
I mean, it makes
perfect sense to me.
- Why would I need
to tell anyone?
- I'm not saying
you need permission.
Permission for what?
- Celia, just try to understand
her point of view.
Raffi, stop talking about your mother.
Why can't I read her book?
- Just wait till it comes out.
- But you've read it.
- Give me your copy.
- No.
- Why not?
I'm part of the family.
- Look, I promised her that I...
- What?
- I wouldn't give you my copy.
- Please.
- Celia, come on.
- I'm making it hard for you
to be the perfect son.
I'm sorry.
- I don't get why
it has to be this way.
- Yes, you do.
- I was happier
when you got along.
- It wasn't as much fun.
- Says who?
- The ghost of the father...
my father, not yours.
Yours died like a hero.
Mine died in a stupid accident,
according to her.
You look after your goals,
Raffi. And l'II look after mine.
- Did you give her my book?
- This is too weird for me.
- What is weird, Raffi?
Smoking pot? Or sleeping
with your step-sister?
- I'm old enough to know what...
- What are you telling me, Raffi?
That this is all normal?
That she should continue
to harass me?
Tell people that l'm responsible
for her father's death?
No one asked her to come here.
She could've stayed in Montreal.
- She needed us.
- What she needs is to destroy me
the same way
- Mom...
- She will never understand
why I stopped loving her father's.
- I'm not accountable to her.
- I am.
- Why?
- Because I love her.
That's a new twist to the story.
Why do you need to call it a story?
Don't you have anything better to do
at your age than fall in love?
My age? You were married at my age!
- Thank you.
- Tony, why don't you say grace.
- For what we are about
to receive, may the Lord
make us truly grateful. Amen.
- Amen.
- Dad?
- Yes.
- Why didn't you say 'Amen'?
- Well, I say it inside.
- Inside where?
- Inside my head.
- Can God hear it
inside your head?
- What do you think, Dad?
- God hears all your thoughts.
- But you don't believe in God.
Grandpa, that's not really
what happened.
- See you.
- Bye, Grandpa.
- Here's the situation, Dad.
Whenever Tony comes over alone,
he's fine.
We play, he laughs,
he's full of joy.
Whenever you're around,
he becomes quiet and withdrawn.
- That isn't true, Philip.
- And we can't stand it.
The more oppression you...
- Oppression?
