James White Page #2
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.
(male mourner)
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
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.
As he wants it '
