Manglehorn Page #5

---

I'm trading commodities with giants.

So if you wanna parade Gary in front of me

as one of your accomplishments, Dad,

I'm not... I'm telling you

I'm not impressed.

Are you gonna talk like a jerk now?

Is this what our conversation's

gonna be?

Because if I wanna hang around

with a jerk, I'd just go...

oh, look in the mirror...

talk to myself.

I didn't mean, I'm not trying

to be a jerk, okay?

I just don't know why you always have

to compare me to everybody else.

I'm glad of that. This food stinks.

- It's awful.

- It's expensive food.

- I don't care how much it costs.

- Eat it, Dad.

Menu, pretentious.

Conversations are pretentious.

This whole place, overpriced.

Emperor's new clothes right here.

- Don't eat it then.

- It won't be eaten.

- I don't care. Don't eat it.

- Guaranteed.

Everything okay, Mr. Manglehorn?

Oh, it's terrific, Rudolfo.

Thank you, we're just...

- just having a conversation.

- Rudolfo,

I would like a piece

of chocolate cake if you got it.

- Yes, sir.

- Good. Thank you.

And take this, Rudolf.

He's not gonna eat it.

- Okay.

- Thank you.

Never easy with you. It's never.

Never easy. Of course, never.

Dad, I don't wanna do it.

I don't wanna do it.

So you talk to Mom lately?

How's she doing?

I don't talk to her.

I never loved your mother.

The woman I loved slipped away,

I let it happen.

Got my priorities screwed up.

My vision of what I wanted in life.

- Well, that's too bad.

- Yeah.

- That's really too bad.

- Yeah.

Guess things change.

You know, I don't know, maybe this

other woman maybe she'll return and...

then maybe you'll remember how

to love someone more than an animal.

You don't know love.

- Don't tell me I don't know what love is.

- You don't know. You're a son of mine.

You should know these things.

- I got a lot of work to do, Dad, so...

- Oh, what else?

It was great seeing you.

Leave this for Rudolf.

- Keep the rest for yourself.

- I don't need it.

Great seeing you, Dad. Really great.

Your cake, sir.

Yeah, I like it a la mode.

- Will do, sir.

- That means...

Ice cream.

Get rid of that orange stuff

on the side, please.

Yes, sir.

Go ahead, don't you like the ice cream?

- Yeah.

- How is it?

It's good. But do you know

what my favorite flavor is?

- Chicken.

- Chicken ice cream?

That's confusing.

I like... I like vanilla.

Vanilla? That's really confusing.

- That's a strange flavor for ice cream.

- No, it's not.

Well, it's kinda confusing

how the leaves change color.

- It is.

- How do they do that?

Well, you see, something happens

in nature because...

- I think fairies do it.

- Oh, you think the fairies do it.

Well, sure, why wouldn't they?
