and - oh, my god -

your immense vocabulary...

when it came to whining...

About something simple

in such an unnecessarily

complicated way,

but as your mother,

I'm gonna tell you right now...

To shut the f*** up.

You wanna sit across from me

at the same table

where I spoon-fed you

and dictate how

I should experience my grief?!

You lost your father

at an unfairly young age,

and that is a hurricane

of hurt and confusion,

and I respect that,

but you make no mistake,

I lost my husband.

I'm gonna tell you something.

I don't care if you are my son,

or if you were my neighbor

or you were my enemy,

I will be goddamned

if anyone is gonna tell me

how I should shed tears

in the name

of my f***ing husband!

Ah! Ah!

Ah!

Sometimes...

I regret ever spreading my legs.

Just hold on, buddy.

You are not ready for sleep,

are you?

- No!

- Okay.

Alright. Stop, stop.

One sock.

Two sock.

There we go.

- What is that, daddy?

- It's a tape recorder, my boy.

It's, uh, a device

that makes things last forever.

With this, you can hear me

no matter where you are

or where I am.

- That's weird.

- You were so good

in the car ride over here.

Mommy's not gonna

leave you alone.

She's gonna go right in with you

and make sure nothing happens

to her little love bug. No.

My sweet baby. You're so good.

- Ah, here he is!

- You're so gonna get

lots of treats.

- Oh, yeah. Oh, man.

Oh, f***, I missed you, buddy.

I don't know

why they put him up here

for a whole f***ing month.

My mom never liked him anyway.

- Is that gonna be cash

or credit?

- Uh, credit, please.

- Okay. If you wouldn't mind

just signing a few things here.

I am so sorry.

- Oh. Thank you.

- No, I really mean it.

- I appreciate it.

- Your father really loved you.

He would waltz in here

every week

for rusty's diabetes shot

and he would hold rusty

high over his head

and he would talk

about his two sons, yeah.

You and rusty.

He even made all of us...

We all got a subscription

to look alive magazine

just 'cause he said

you wrote for it.

He was a good man.

- Um... that's it.

Thank you very much... Nancy.

- Oh. Don't forget your card.

- Oh, thank you.

- May god be with you, Jack.

- Can I ask you something,

Nancy?

- You just did.

- Um, how many hours a day

do you work here?

- Twelve.

- And... how many animals

do you see die by euthanasia

or... or... or physical failure

each day?

: About 11 or 12.

- That's about one per hour.

So assuming that these pets

have families,

other than

the lonely old cat lady,

you must see double, triple,

quadruple that in...

In crying faces, right?

Devastated faces.

Tragic faces.

And yet, somehow...
