- Must be because I had
- but to try to do Thy will always.
The flu for Christmas
Bless this food to our use...
us to Thy service...
make us ever mindful
of the needs of others...
- at a time when so many are without.
- And increases my paranoia
These things we ask...
- in the precious name of Your son,
- Like lookin'into a mirror
- our Lord, Jesus Christ,
- And seein'a police car
- Amen.
- But I'm not givin'in an inch
To fear
'Cause I promised myself
This year
I feel
Like I'm owing
Someone
I think we should go ahead
and carve the turkey.
Say, uh,
Uncle Bob, uh...
Bob?
Yeah, all right. Let's do it.
Marjoree, you want
white meat or dark meat?
Oh, whatever you're
closest to, Bob.
Give us your plate.
Oh, thank you.
Uh, you know, uh, you oughta tilt
that knife a little bit there, Bobby.
Those peas are cooked in a recipe
I got from your mother, Marjoree.
Hey, Mawmaw's peas!
- White meat, Daddy, please.
- All right, honey.
You know, Bob,
if, uh, I were you...
I'd get a little bit
of an angle on that bird.
- I got a good angle.
- Uh, let me show you somethin'.
- Don't have to show me
anything. I got it.
- Well, uh...
- you want a little deeper angle.
- Get away from me.
- Just twist that sideways.
- Oh, shit!
- Oh, Bob.
- Bob!
Bobby, I'm, uh...
Uh, are you all right?
Why don't you carve the goddamn
turkey yourself, you old fart?
Christ!
Wha... What'd you say?
I said, why don't you carve the goddamn
turkey yourself, you old fart!
Hey, you cannot speak
to my father like that.
Two hundred and ninety-nine.
What?
Two hundred and ninety-nine,
I said. Don't tell me you don't
know what that means, David.
I think your old man knows
what it means, don't you, Hal?
That's your birthday, David!
From when they pulled the numbers out
for the draft card lottery.
Two ninety-nine, that's
the number that saved your ass
from having to fight in Vietnam.
Would you like to know
whatJeremy's number was?
It was eight.
Eight! Eight!
Don't you ever tell me what to say or
what I cannot say in my own house...
or I'll take this goddamn turkey
and shove it down your throat!
Well, unless we're gonna have
a nuclear attack of some kind...
it's hard to imagine
what else could go wrong.
- I think we better go.
- I think we just better have dinner.
No, I think it is perfectly
clear that I am not welcome.
David, shut up.
It was my fault.
Now, l... I can be
an old fart sometimes.
David, please, sit down.
Your father's right.
I'd like some turkey.
All right, men,
move out! Let's go!
Come on, Collier, let's go!
Roger. I acknowledge. Pulling back.
Repeat 7500, divert to vector.
Sir, we got somethin'over here!
What you got?
1231 vector.
Jeremy...
I want you to know...
before you go, l...
I want you to know I said some terrible
things to you this afternoon.
Some stupid things.
I don't wanna hear it. Feel sorry
for yourself on your own time.
Look...
I know...
I won't ever be able to understand
what happened to you over there.
I wasn't there,
and I didn't go through it.
There's no way for me to understand
how terrible it was.
Please don't... don't hold
me responsible for that.
Don't resent me for that.
There's no way
for me to know.
I could, uh...
I could explain it to you.
Do you really wanna know?
Yes.
I died.
That's what happened to me.
Jeremy, wait.
What is it?
- I just want you to know...
- What?
Now wait a minute. Wait.
I just want you to know...
how much I love you.
I know...
I know you hate me right now.
I know... you...
you think I've done nothin'
but ruin your life...
that I haven't been
a good mother.
But everything I've done
is because I love you.
See, I love you
