The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) Page #4

---

And there's always you

And there's always me

And there's always us

Mommy and daddy and genius girl

make three

You got my hands, you got my toes

But luckily I got mommy's nose

You're better than 100 Broadway shows

And there's always you

And there's always me

And there's always us

Mommy and daddy and genius girl

make three

That was a meyerowitz and meyerowitz

composition.

We wrote it when I was nine.

Was the shark bad or was that bad shark?

Dad, it was raw.

The rice was hard

and the shellfish was closed.

Dad, your limp is worse.

It's always... worse

after I've been sitting.

- Just got to stretch it.

- Please see someone about it.

I have an appointment

with an acupuncturist on Tuesday.

Someone real, please?

I'm telling you,

you are going to meet a lot of...

Wonderful, interesting, new people.

Or, I imagine you will.

I didn't make it more than a month

at college because I liked drugs so much.

I'm gonna miss you and mom.

I know. We'll miss you, too.

I still haven't wrapped my mind around it,

you guys not being together.

We don't get along when it's just us.

Sorry I don't get to drive you,

but your mom won that one.

It's okay. She's a good driver.

And I'll be up there

whenever you're ready for me.

Marcus is picking you up.

Does Marcus know to take the tunnel

instead of the bridge?

At this hour,

the bridge is gonna be jammed.

You'll be okay here?

Yeah.

It'll be nice to spend time with dad

while Maureen's away.

You know, I didn't get

a lot of time with him growing up.

It's an opportunity to get closer now.

It's nice you and Jean

are getting him this show.

I know it's just a college show,

but I think it really could

put him back on the map.

The work is good

and deserves more exposure.

You are a truly wonderful girl.

You've been a great dad.

I think I still am.

I didn't mean it that way.

[Horn honking]

Hey, Marcus.

Hey, Danny.

Text when you get...

This one's interesting.

I think it's a masterpiece, Brian.

It's intended as a sort of sequel

to "gilded halfwing."

The squiggly one outside Lincoln center.

Yes, James, "gilded halfwing."

It's probably my most well-known work.

It has a young man's energy.

But I like to think

that my later work is richer,

more interesting.

When Matthew told me that was yours,

I was like,

"I walk by there all the time."

We're on central park west now,

but have been looking for

the right place downtown.

Show James and Brian

the wood structures.

Yes, I've been working in wood recently.

Danny, give me a hand.

How about this one, with the gold?

Always loved this one.

No, not that one.

It's a minor work of mine.

Over here.

How's the noise in this area?
