Just tell her that

it was an abscess.

An abscess?

Yeah.

What are you talking about? Just

an abscess, a tooth infection.

I know what it is.

It's fine.

I don't understand why...

Sh, sh, sh.

(Irene)

Where are you going?

We're going to get food, baby.

Want something?

Coffee, Splenda.

Splenda'?

Hm.

I need water so bad.

You have those smokes?

Yeah.

[chuckles]

(man No. 1)

James.

I worked with your dad.

Oh, okay.

Nice eye.

Yeah.

We always thought

you'd end up in jail.

[laughs]

Thanks.

(wedding officiant on TV)

For better, for worse.

[woman repeats]

For richer, for poorer.

[woman repeats]

In sickness and in health.

[woman repeats]

To love and to cherish

[woman repeats]

as long as I shall live.

[woman repeats]

Mom!

Did you put this on?

No.

Do you want this on?

I don't know.

Are you okay'?

I don't know, James.

Karen, did you put

on your wedding video?

I'm sorry.

Does anyone have the remote?

(wedding efficient)

Let it be to you and to me...

[TV turns off]

Did you put on the video?

Yes.

Yeah, why'?

Are you stupid'?

Excuse me'?

Let me ask you a question.

Do you know

whose house you're in'?

It's your mother's house,

we know that.

Exactly right.

It's my mother's house.

Don't point your finger. So why

would you think that it is okay

to set up my mother's dead

ex-husband's wedding video?

Why would you think

that that is okay'?

This is for him.

Hi, um, excuse me everybody.

I'm James.

I'm going to have to ask

all of you to leave

just for my mother

and I to grieve

in peace over my dead father.

Is that okay'?

I'm sorry.

I know it's a bad time

and everyone's sad,

but I'm going to have

to ask you all to go.

Please, thank you, thank you.

(male mourner)

A spoiled little boy.

Nick, Nick, please help

me out here, my man.

(Nick) Just go. I'm going

to hit him if he stays.

Go.

Go.

Why are we even doing this'?

Why are we having a shiva'?

You're not even Jewish.

Am I the only one that thinks

that it's crazy? Okay.

Am I the only one'?

Okay. Okay.

No. Nick, back me up.

That's not crazy, right?

Ma.

You got to sit back.

And you got to breathe. I can't.

You got to breathe.

You got to breathe

in and out, okay'?

Close your eyes.

That's stupid.

Close your eyes.

[breathes in and out]

In through the nose,

out through the mouth.

Do it with me now.

[breathes deeply]

[Crazy He Calls Me by

Billie Holiday plays loudly]

I say I'll move

the mountains

And I'll move

the mountains

If he wants them

out of the way

Crazy, he calls me

Sure I'm crazy

Crazy in love, I'd say

[GaiL singing along]

I say I'll go through fire

Nick's sleeping.

Uh-uh-uh-uh.
