he wants to see me during that time.

Eliza, have more shark.

Maureen, give my granddaughter

more shark.

You kids don't eat.

It's amazing how much

Matthew's clients make,

when you think about what a teacher,

or a nurse, or...

I think I would've had greater success

if I had been more fashionable.

Well, you were always out-of-step

with the times.

That's true, I was a vanguard.

L.J. Shapiro said that about me.

You know, l.J.'S having

a retrospective at moma.

Is he?

L.j. was always very political.

He's not untalented,

but he's a very skillful operator.

You didn't play the game.

Do you think I should email Matt

about his visit?

Why not?

I don't want to be presumptuous.

He's your brother, Dan.

Half.

Isn't that when the Whitney

bought a piece of yours?

Yes, they were going to buy

more work, too,

but Bernie, my dealer at the time,

didn't like the deal.

I probably shouldn't have listened

to him.

I don't know, he didn't respond

the last time I reached out.

When I called and wrote the Whitney

about it, they couldn't find it.

- It's there.

- They can't find it.

- Jean! Damn it, they have the work!

- Okay.

[Whispers] it's lost.

[Eliza's grandfather] Hmm.

The work looks stunning

all together like this.

- Danny, you made this?

- Jean and I did, yes.

Harold meyerowitz. A retrospective.

You send in the pictures

and they make it for you.

Oh, dad, Jean and I spoke to a woman

at the museum at bard.

- Was that hilma federman?

- Hilma, yes.

And there's some interest

in doing a show there.

Oh, that's the least they can do for you,

after all those years you've given them.

I think with Eliza going this fall

and your history as a teacher,

we have a good shot.

Danny, make sure hilma sees the book.

A retrospective at this point would be

a real feather in my cap,

and I think bring attention

to the new work.

The thing is, dad,

it would be part of a group show.

Bard faculty.

A group show.

No, that's essentially an insult.

I think hilma's angry because

I voted against her chairmanship.

Tell hilma no.

- Well, hilma hasn't offered it yet.

- When she does, tell her no.

Maureen, where's the gourmet hummus?

It's upstairs, I think.

Why?

[Piano playing]

You'll always be my superstar

You'll always be my number one

I'll always be your genius girl

I'll never be your stupid son

[Danny] no, no

You'll always be good at math

You'll always be good at naming stars

[Eliza]

you'll always be there to catch me

Except when I fall off the monkey bars

Still hate myself for that.

That broken arm made you so sad

There went your shot at the olympiad

But that black-and-white cookie

made it not so bad
