How to Make an American Quilt Page #2

every other year.

Here you go.

Oh, Hy, look what you did.

Well, we're all family.

You know,

when your mother and father got married...

... they were very immature.

Which isn't the same case with you and Sam.

You know what Mom said to me once?

- She's so crazy. How'd she get so crazy?

- Don't look at me.

She said that as soon as I get married,

I'm gonna want to have an affair.

She doesn't know what she's talking about.

That which is forbidden...

Don't be such a cynic.

I'm not.

My grandniece wants to know...

...why the marriage vow

is considered such a sacred thing...

...when, in fact,

to most people it means nothing at all.

I took my marriage very seriously.

You were too young to remember

your grandpa, but he and I had...

... a very special love for each other.

Which I'm sure even your Aunt Gladiola

was aware of.

Very much aware.

That's what made the whole thing so stunning.

Why are you bringing this up right now?

You brought it up.

Fine. You want to tell her?

Tell her. I don't care.

Tell me what?

Was this a mistake, letting you smoke?

Oh, no, sweetie.

If I weren't a little high right now...

...Id have your aunt on the floor,

beating her senseless.

- You're gonna need a lot more than that.

- Shut up.

All right, I'll tell you what happened.

But I'd like to say one thing first,

with your aunt's permission.

Be my guest.

When you've spent your life with someone...

...and they start to die...

...and you feel this terrible, terrible...

...severing.

So you do things without thinking...

... because what you have to face is so...

... deeply unthinkable.

Could I use your phone, please?

Arthur Cleary.

Arthur, where's Glady?

I called your house and she didn't answer.

Hy, is that you?

Yes.

What's wrong?

Is Glady with you?

No. She must be out shopping. James didn't...

No, he's still here, I just...

I need someone to come pick me up.

I've got to get back to the office soon.

- What if I take you to our house?

- No.

All right. Okay.

I have to lie down before I go back.

You know, find me a tree.

I need some peace before I go back.

I was at the hospital today.

James didn't know where you had gone.

I told him you had to go to town

for something. He was quite upset.

I know. He told me.

I just find it odd that you just left the hospital

without even leaving him a note.

That you just took off

for a ride with my husband.

Glady, what are you doing?

Honey, what are you doing?

Come on.

Glady!

I don't want to hear a word out of either of you!

You stink of her perfume!

Oh, sh*t.

Glady?

Glady?

Can't we work this out?

If you want me to go away, I'll do it.

But if you want me to stay, that's what I want.
