opinion.
Just keep it short, all right?
Are you getting well?
Uh-uh.
Look up.
I'm sorry about this.
I can't talk too long
or I'll get upset.
I want you to make
a lot of friends.
Be nice to the girls,
'cause they'll be
important to you.
We're not afraid of girls.
You may be later on.
I doubt it.
Why don't you shut up?
You shut up.
Teddy, give me a kiss.
Tommy, you be sweet.
Be sweet.
Stop pretending
like you hate me.
It's silly.
I like you.
Then listen especially close.
What?
Listen real hard.
I said what.
I know you like me.
I know it.
For the last year,
you've pretended like you hate me.
I love you very much.
I love you as much
as I love anybody,
as much as myself.
In a few years, when I haven't
been around to irritate you,
you're going to remember.
You'll remember when
I bought you the baseball glove,
when you thought
we were broke;
or when I read you those stories.
Or when I let you goof off instead of
mowing the lawn... lots of things.
You'll realize that you love me,
and maybe you'll feel badly
because you never told me,
but don't.
I know that you love me.
So don't do that
to yourself, okay?
Okay!
Okay?
I said okay.
You two should run along.
Take care.
Give me a kiss.
I was so scared,
but I think
it went well, don't you?
Yeah?
Tommy, if you need to talk,
your dad will listen.
He's a very smart man.
Just say,
"Dad, I'm confused.
I need to have a talk."
This boy where I live...
said the Houston Cub Scouts
are the best.
We were never Scouts.
Our mother was
too lazy to check it out.
No! Stop!
Come on!
Stop it!
No!
Listen to me!
Listen.
It's okay, Tom.
It's okay.
Hey! Stop it!
I just can't have you
criticizing your mother around me.
[Whimpering]
I'm sorry. Sorry.
Mr. Horton.
Mr. Horton.
She's gone.
God, I'm so stupid.
Somehow I thought...
Somehow I thought
when she finally went,
that it would be a relief.
Oh, my sweet little darling!
Oh, dear.
There's nothing harder.
There's nothing...
You want some cake?
Why are you standing over here?
I don't know.
You want to sit with me?
Everything's going to be
all right, Tommy.
Ah, there's fantastic
dance schools in Houston.
Tap?
Tap, ballet, aerobics...
Anything you want.
Come over here
and see your dad.
He really knows a pretty girl.
She's too old for him.
You're eating a wet bunny?
Go over to Dad and eat it.
Hi, Vern.
How you doing, Garrett?
I understand you're a swimmer.
Me, too.
But you're an astronaut, right?
Yep.
I'm an astronaut and a swimmer.
Pretty good-looking suit there.
A little closer.
A little closer.
A little closer.
Want to see my pool?
I don't know if the time is right...
funeral and everything...
Oh, I think it is.
Come on.
I'll show you
the internationally infamous...
uh, Breedlove Crawl.
A stroke I picked up
out in space.[Woman]
Let me go, just for a minute.
[Man] You're going to stare
that baby right into a coma.
Stop exaggerating.
It's not good to check
the baby every five minutes...
imagining one terrible thing
or another.
I know, I know.
Here it starts.
Here we go.
Rudyard...
Rudyard, she's not breathing.
Honey, she's sleeping.
The baby's sleeping.
No.
Rudyard, it's crib death.
It's sleep!
She's asleep, honey.
Maybe.
Come on.
Emma.
[Baby Cries]
Oh, good.
There.
That's better.
No, thank you.
Thanks.
Emma?
Uh, he was one of
the most dependable men...
that ever worked for me.
I know. Thank you.
He was a good man.
I'm real sorry
about your daddy.
Take care of your momma.
Emma.
Emma, wake up, please.
Wake up.
What's wrong?
I was tense,
and I was wondering
how you were feeling.
Would you like
to sleep in my bed?
No, thank you.
Would you like to sleep
in my bed again?
Yes!
What are we going
to do with this hair?
Hey, Emma!
Patsy, hurry up!
You're going to miss him.
Oh, that's what
they were looking at?
Good night, honey.
Where's Momma?
Back with that old fart who's
trying to get
