Of course, you French
have your own ideas.
In a way, it's charming.
So... Bob painted you?
And then?
We began seeing each other afterwards.
And we discovered we
liked the same things.
Now then, while you kept seeing my boy.
Going steady, as we call it here.
Yes. I had to support myself.
Does it pay well,
being an artist's model?
You must forgive my ignorance.
No. But I'm fond of artists.
They are nice people mostly.
Did you go to college?
I started.
I had to give it up.
I couldn't afford it.
My mother was American.
We'll make a little lady out of Sherie.
I'm very grateful.
It's my duty. I'm Bob's mother.
And I love to do it.
Only, we won't be here all the time.
Bob and I are planning
on going back to France.
We still have our apartment.
And he has his work.
I wouldn't worry, dear. Apartments
can be rented, furniture stored.
And there are many things worth
painting this side of our world.
Well, I see you two girls
Your mother's been very kind.
I had a long talk with
your charming wife.
Very enlightening.
I'm happy to report
Yvonne asks to be excused.
She's all tired out.
- The change of climate, probably.
- Do you think she's happy here?
She loves it, mother.
My dear boy. She loathes this country.
Can't you tell?
Now don't be so shocked.
Sit here, close to me.
We used to be friends, remember?
Always "Mary Lou"
- I've almost forgotten.
- Yes.
You've forgot a lot of things, Bob.
You were a small boy and you
didn't want to go to school.
making a man out of you.
A big, strong he-man like himself.
That's why he wanted you to start out in
public school like you were any child.
But mother took your side, didn't I?
And we got you a private tutor.
Later, Bob... when you enlisted.
You sat with me... right here.
- Shipped out to Korea.
- You were afraid of being a soldier.
I was...
Scared to death, mother.
You had a right to be afraid.
It's only natural.
But you did fine.
You got all the medals.
- If they only knew how... scared I was.
- Only you and I know.
You're a real pal, mother.
I mean, you're still
as beautiful as ever.
Oh dear no, I wouldn't
think of marrying.
Now that I have you and
a lovely granddaughter.
Yvonne won't mind.
Yvonne.
She is a responsibility, isn't she.
She's my wife. I love her.
You love your art and
you're trying to be loyal.
No, mother.
I know my boy when he's afraid.
- And you're afraid now.
- Afraid of what?
To face reality. You never could.
