What Maisie Knew
(0.00 / 0 votes)You want to sleep
with Mommy tonight?
Mm-hm. In my bed?
Mm-hm.
You promise not to kick me?
I promise.
Yeah, okay.
Shall I sing to you? Yeah.
Yeah?
Mm-hm.
What song?
One of your songs.
Oh, well, sugar, those aren't really
meant to put people to sleep.
What did you sing me
when I was little?
Um, like, you know,
Rock-a-bye Baby.
That's for babies.
So?
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock
When the bough breaks
The cradle will fall
Down will come baby
Cradle and all.
Are you sleepy?
A little.
Why don't you just close
your eyes and try, okay?
Okay.. Okay..
Close your eyes.
Close your eyes.
I'll help you fall asleep.
Rock-a-bye baby
On the tree top
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock
When the bough breaks
The cradle will fall
And down Will come baby
Cradle and all
Pizza man.
Hi.
Hi. Can you sign this, please?
Sure.
Wait for me.
Pizza man's here.
You haven't done anything!
You haven't had a creative
thought in your life.
What have you done in
the last five years?
How jealous you are.
I'm jealous?
There's your tip.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
Goodnight.
I've.. I've done my mid-life crisis.
You should get on with yours.
What?
You should get on with your mid-life crisis...
Don't talk to me about ...
You want to play Tic-tac-toe?
Sure.
Why don't we eat outside?
Okay?
Yes, go walk away.
Walk away like you always do.
Hey,... can I have some pizza?
S u r e.
Eh heh.
Mmm. Nice!
Tic-tac-toe.
Look, I won.
Come on Maisie, you didn't let me play.
Oow... Look at me.
You're cheating.
Maisie, ...
do you ever wonder what
Margo thinks of us ...
behind that hauntingly calm exterior.
Okay. Enjoy!
Do you want to be "Xs" or "Os"?
Um, I want to be "Os".
The ants go marching one by one.
Hurrah, hurrah.
The ants go marching one by one.
The little one stops to suck his thumb.
You're a liar and a thief!
This is a colossal waste of time.
Fine, go!
Hey.
Hi.
Susanna.
Is that Daddy?
Shhh, go back to sleep.
Open the door!
Open the damn door!
Damn!
Stop making that fucking noise!
They hate me in this building.
Oh, there you are!
At last.
Open the door!
Susanna.
Go away!
Open the door!
No!
Open the fucking door!
Not this time!
I told you it would happen if you left!
What?
Are you serious?
Yes, I'm serious.
It's my apartment.
Open the goddamn door!
No!
You're a fucking headcase!
F*ck you!
Now, remember your soil
should be damp,
not soaked.
You father's here!
Maybe your dog died.
I don't have a dog.
Yah, well you're never gonna lose money ...
... on art, unless you overpay!
This is a good price. So, ...
what I need to know... if you aah...
if you want the paintings ...
... I need to know ASAP.
Let me just get rid of this call.
One second.
Here is this month's schedule.
wait the few extra minutes
until the end of the school day
so that we don't have to interrupt class.
Okay. Okay, ... I'll make sure ...
... that it doesn't happen again.
Listen, why don't you and me go and
get ourselves a nice double espresso?
With Mommy?
No, no, just you and me this time.
Eeh? Fun, huh?
Hey, so they're exemplary pieces ...
Are you kidding me! What were you going to do?
Take her to Argentina?
I'll call you back. People, just ...
do I need to get some help?
No. This is not a game, Beale.
Come on, baby.
Daddy's not going
to pick you up anymore.
I'm just going to pick you up, okay?
Are you okay?
It's okay. I'm only her father.
Wow, Pooh, you have
your own TV?
Yeah, we can watch it later.
Hey, cool. A little monkey.
