Momma's Man (2008) - full transcript

You sure everything's okay?

Of course.

Who's there?

Sorry, Pops, it's just me.

Mikey...

what are you doing here?

There was a problem
with the plane

and it was overbooked
and they said that, you know,

to wait around
for a little while,

'cause they're probably
gonna bump some people, but

it's probably
gonna be hours, so...



Anyway, I just figured
I'd leave tomorrow instead.

Hey, Flo, look who's here.

Flo.

Hey, Ma. Hi.

Hi.

What are you doing?

There were problems
with the plane, and...

they were gonna wait around
for other people

to get bumped.

Anyway, just go back to sleep.

- Everything's okay, yeah?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay. I'm glad we're gonna
see you one more day.

You know what?

I'm just gonna put you down
for one second, okay?



I'll be right back,
just gonna grab that.

Stay right there, okay?

Mikey.

Where are you?

Yeah, yeah,
that airline's awful.

When will you be back?

What was that?
I missed the last part.

Oh yeah, hmm, fine.

Can't you hear?
Those are tears of joy.

Okay. Good night, Michael.

See you tomorrow.

Love you too.

Okay, up we go.

That's over.

Ma?

Yeah, I just...

I was on hold with them
for, like, an hour.

I don't know,
they kept transferrin' me

like, ten times, and finally,

they put me on
with their headquarters in

Georgia or India,
I have no idea,

where it's very far away.

Yeah.

Um... no, they said that...

they said that I could
call back tomorrow morning

or buy a new ticket.

Yeah, tomorrow morning.

I don't either.

Um...

No... yeah, I'm gonna come back
as soon as I can.

Yes.

Yeah.

No, I...

Just will you give Ana
a kiss for me, please?

I love you.

Mom, that smells good.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

- Great, thanks.
- You're welcome, Mom.

Okay.

Could you try the dressing?

Yeah.

How is it?

Mmm...

Okay, come on.

Oh my God, it's good. +Okay.

- Yeah.
- Okay, good.

Okay, would you get the dishes?

Yes.

Okay, and the forks
and the napkins.

And when's your flight?

I don't know, the whole thing
has been so annoying.

I just explained
the whole thing to Laura.

They canceled my flight,
I was on hold forever,

they kept switching me
to all the different places,

and I don't know.

So I'm probably gonna go
tonight or tomorrow, or...

it's gonna be fine.

And I talked to Laura,
it's fine,

and they're both good,

they had a great day
at the park today,

- so it's good.
- Okay.

Yeah. +All right. I hope...

Okay. Yeah.

Did you put vinegar in this?

Yes.

Vinegar is my enemy.

Well, he likes it.

And anyway,

don't have it, it's okay.

It's... you don't need the oil.

I'm making these things happen
with projected light.

Um... with the same...

You think you're seeing
the same things are happening

in terms of, uh,

making things appear,
not appear,

on the picture plane.

Wow.

I's... anyway, this is
really, really beautiful.

It's amazing.

The space is 50, so good.

This is a painting.

I don't know about a paint...

I wouldn't call this a painting.

Why not?

Doesn't use pigment?

No, it isn't that.

Robert.
- What?

Hey, man.

Yeah, it's... fuckin' airplane.

Dude, I wanna get back,
it's freezing here.

No, I can... I can
take care of everything

when I get back there,

be back on Tuesday,

or even if I'm back Wednesday,

I'm sure I won't be, but...

even if I...
Probably be there Tuesday.

But, um...

Um...

Do me a favor.

If anyone asks, you just kinda...

Will you cover for me?

Thanks, man.

I appreciate it.

Mad Mike!

Mad Mike.

Honey, did you call me? No, Ma.

What?

Brigitte.

"What the fuck is your problem?"

"Fine, so I said
pretty fucked-up things.

You know I didn't mean them.

I hear all the shit
you say, like..."

"I didn't do that shit to you.

You want me to hate you?

Well, I do.

I fuckin' hate you 50 much..."

“...right now for what
you're putting me through,

and I'm sure you're just
totally getting off

"on watching me suffer,
aren't you?"

I hate you for we've never met.

"Why don't you fucking give up

on trying to make me
so jealous?"

I love you so much.

"You treat me like...

you treat me like shit.""

You just won't get, get over it.

Brigitte.

"You never gave a shit...
No, obviously not."

"The problem is,
I'm getting sick

of trying to figure out
what I did that was so wrong.”

'Cause I knew [ loved you.

You stupid whore.

You stu... you stupid whore.

Always asking for more

Mikey?
- Sorry, Dad.

Is that the radio?

No, I just found a...

some old songs from high school.

Please play quieter, okay?
- Yeah, okay.

Well, at first, it wasn't true.

Fuck, fuck... fuck, fuck you,

I hope you die too.

You were my first,
I'll be your last.

You'll never forget
our early past.

You'll never forget,

never forget
all the lies and deceit.

You call me after school,
you say you're not well.

When I ask what's wrong,
you say you can't tell, tell.

Well, fuck, fuck, fuck you,
I hope you die too.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck you,

I hope you die too.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck you.

And I'm gonna do that,

and I can be with you guys

everything a little bit ago

and I've already started on it,

so everything's good.

How is it out there?

It's freezing.

I just came back
from the Food Emporium.

I just ran into Maggie.

She said Dante is back,

he's got his own job
and he seems to be doing well.

Wow.

Yeah.

I'd love to see...

Maybe I'll do a little bit
more work up here

and then go over and see him.

- Great. Okay. Good.
- All right.

I'm gonna go start some lunch,

Bye, Ma.
