to tell me you have
no idea what is goin' on here?
Don't talk to me about it,
I just work here.
If I wasn't so stupid,
I'd pack my things and leave.
I'm sick. I'm sick, sick,
sick, sick, sick.
I'm sick of being treated
like dirt by my own children.
Where do you think
you're going?
- I thought I'd finish in my room.
- You just sit right back down.
- Why are you taking it out on me?
- Sit down, I said!
I'll be right back.
Mother, I wish
you wouldn't do this.
I can't... I just can't help it.
I was taught to honor
your father and mother.
That's what I've tried to teach.
I guess I'm not good enough
to deserve that kind of respect.
Of course you are.
- I have to preheat the oven.
- I'll do it.
- What do you want it set on?
- 450.
I just don't understand
what went wrong.
His whole life
he was always so grown up.
- So polite.
- War changes people.
War doesn't make you
rude to your parents.
Answer that.
Tell whoever it is I died.
Collier residence,
Karen speaking.
Oh, hi, Nunan, Happy Thanksgiving
to you too.
It's your mother.
- Gentlemen.
- What?
It's Grandma time.
No, I've just got to get
the turkey in the oven...
and finish making the dressing,
and I'm done.
Go pick up the extension.
Oh, I don't have
that much to do.
Oh, no, no, no. We were
all just sitting around...
enjoying ourselves
after breakfast.
- Hello, Norma.
- Oh, there he is.
Bob, honey, tell Mama
when we can come see her.
- She wants to know.
- I don't know. Easter, I guess.
No, Bob, not Easter.
I told you already.
Karen and I are goin'to Lake Texoma
to visit Myrtle and her kids.
- You never told me that.
- I did too.
I'm glad you called, Mama. He would have
woke up in the middle of spring break...
and had the FBI out
looking for us.
Now I have a witness, Bob.
Bob, tell Mother what the guide said
about those baby sharks at Marine Land.
Mama, listen to Bob,
he tells it so well.
Get over here this instant
and talk to your grandmother.
- Why?
- Because she loves you, that's why.
When she calls, she expects you to talk
to her. And I expect you to talk to her.
Why, of all the things to ask.
Isn't that just the cutest story
you ever heard?
Uh-huh!
Yes, he's right here, about to jerk
the phone out of my hand.
You want me to put him on?
Here he is.
Hi, Nunan.
How goes everything?
- How goes everything?
- Yeah, I know it has.
Well, I'll probably come out
on my own before they do.
Well, not that soon. I'm a little
low on funds right now.
Don't tell her that.
Why are you telling her that?
No, you don't gotta
send me anything, I'm fine.
I'm probably gonna get some kind
of part-time job during Christmas.
She's not gonna sleep
all week thinking of that.
Nunan, I promise I will come to visit
you before I move to California.
What?
What did you just say?
- Sometime after Christmas.
- What are you...?
Give me that phone.
I don't know, maybe dog grooming. I got
this buddy who lives in Los Angeles...
- who grooms dogs for a living
and he loves it.
- Give me... Give me that...!
Give me that phone!
Huh? Oh, Mama wants
to talk to you again.
Okay. I'll miss you too.
Bye-bye.
Mama, oh, he's just
teasing you is all.
I don't know
what he's talkin' about.
California hasn't even
been mentioned in this house.
Of course he is.
Well, actually, we were
talking about him going back
to his music this morning.
Yeah. Well, you know
how people get depressed sometimes.
- It's a phase we all go through.
- You are incredible!
You hush up,
you vagrant!
l-l-I'm sorry, Mama.
I missed that.
Oh, no, Mama. Don't you
worry about that at all.
Yes. Now you tell everybody
Happy Thanksgiving there for us.
Yeah. You take care of yourself too.
I'm gonna let Bob say bye-bye.
All right. Bye-bye.
- What in the hell are you tryin' to do?
- Nothin'.
- I'm not doin' anything.
- What is the matter with you?
You are
