:18:03
Sometimes I think if we had a child...
:18:06
Oh, God.
:18:08
I mean, that really makes me anxious.
I mean... it's totally irrevocable.
:18:15
Whatever happened to your photography?
You used to be so hot on that.
:18:19
I hate it. It's stupid.
:18:22
I feel a real need to express something
:18:24
but I don't know what it is I want
to express or how to express it.
:18:31
It's always so difficult getting Mother
a birthday present. It's impossible.
:18:36
Please, let's not stay forever at the party.
I wanna finish proofreading those galleys.
:18:41
Oh, come on, Frederick.
Really, I hardly ever see Mother.
:18:44
I hardly ever spend time with her at all.
:18:47
It won't be so terrible. Flyn will be there.
:18:49
Terrific. We get caught up on
the latest Hollywood gossip.
:18:52
Oh, come on, Frederick.
You know Flyn likes you.
:18:56
And don't behave condescendingly.
I think she senses you talk down to her.
:18:59
I don't talk down to Flyn. I love
hearing about her hair and her weight
:19:02
and the latest piece of TV junk she's done.
:19:05
Well, that's her life.
:19:09
And anyway, you have to
admit she is a sexy little girl.
:19:11
No. Flyn is the opposite of sexy.
:19:14
Hey, what about a scarf?
:19:16
Flyn suffers from the same thing
my last book suffered from.
:19:19
She's a perfect example
of form without any content.
:19:24
That's very profound. And you
haven't even started drinking yet.
:19:28
I am profound. But I'm not
the award-winning writer.
:19:31
You're supposed to be giving me
insights into sex and other phenomena.
:19:36
- Really.
- Really? C'mon, let's go. Frederick.
:19:41
You look fabulous, Mother. But the
main thing is that you're feeling well.
:19:46
- Yes, but I tire so easily.
- Can I help with something?
:19:50
Joey says you're thinking about
taking on some decorating projects.
:19:54
Yes. Joey pushes me.
But I'm not going to accept anything
:19:58
until I'm sure I can maintain
the level that I expect of myself.
