:36:09
In all your pictures,
there was no picture of your mother.
:36:12
Tell me about your mother.
:36:14
My mother was an alcoholic.
:36:17
What was she like
when she was drunk?
:36:19
She was superb
when she was drunk.
:36:22
She'd get good and drunk,
she would be fantastic.
:36:26
That's the truth.
:36:30
Nobody knew her like I did.
:36:33
One time, we took my bicycle...
:36:36
...and we just went.
:36:37
We got on a highway and we rode,
and she was drunker than...
:36:42
And, of course, it got dark before
we got to where we were going.
:36:45
And we had to call my father up...
:36:47
...and he had to come down
in the car and pick us up.
:36:50
And we couldn't get
the bicycle in the car...
:36:52
...and my mother started laughing
and I started laughing.
:36:55
My father didn't like it much.
:36:58
And then we'd get her home...
:37:01
...and my father would put her to bed
and she'd sober up...
:37:04
...and it was over.
:37:06
And I'd just have to wait
for her to get drunk again.
:37:12
One summer...
:37:14
...my father...
:37:15
...sent me off to visit my aunt
for a couple of weeks.
:37:20
And when I got back...
:37:23
...my mother was in a hospital.
:37:26
And they wouldn't let me see her.
:37:30
I couldn't understand it.
They wouldn't let me see her.
:37:34
She died in her room.
:37:40
I must have been
about 11 or 12 at the time.
:37:45
And a nurse...
:37:47
...there, she told me my mother
wrote me a note when I was away.
:37:53
But my father took it...
:37:56
...and he wouldn't let me see it.
:37:59
I couldn't understand it.
