Regarding Henry (1991) - full transcript
Henry is a lawyer who survives a shooting only to find he cannot remember anything. As if that weren't enough, Henry also has to recover his speech and mobility, in a life he no longer fits into. Fortunately, Henry has a loving wife and daughter to help him.
Folks, we've been here
for a long time now,
Listening to people
talk for months.
Complicated
medical testimony.
A lot of emotion
in this case.
There is not a person
in this room
Who isn't sorry about what
happened to mr. Matthews.
It's a tragedy.
And when something
like this happens,
You desperately want
to blame someone, don't you?
Someone else.
We understand that.
It's natural.
What have we got here?
What's the bottom line?
It's mr. Matthews' word
Against the east shore
hospital, isn't it?
That's exactly what it is.
Now, obviously,
any decent human being
Would want to believe
mr. Matthews--
Believe that he told the
admitting nurse, mrs. Valdez,
That he was diabetic.
It would seem,
uh...poetic
That someone else
was to blame.
It would feel right.
But, uh...
it wouldn't be fair.
Let's--Let's
think for a second.
Who's being blamed here?
It's not some big, bad
hospital corporation.
We're talking
about human beings--
Four doctors, five nurses,
The hospital chief of staff
present at the time--
All of them there
for no other purpose
Than to try and save
jonathan matthews' life.
I don't like
doing this,
But if we're all
going to do our jobs,
I've got to
bring this up again.
Mr. Matthews
is an alcoholic.
In july of 1979,
he tried to commit suicide.
And you know, even I was
surprised to learn--
From the plaintiff's
own doctors, ironically--
That this tragedy
could have been caused
By the abuse of alcohol.
So here's my point--
We all understand
Why mr. Matthews
is blaming the hospital.
But nobody could have prevented
mr. Matthews' suffering
Except mr. Matthews.
Listen to me.
Listen to me.
The table you delivered
is not the table I ordered.
I'm having a party
on friday,
And the table
sitting in my dining room
Looks like
a goddamn turtle.
"We find for the defendant
on all counts."
That was great.
Great, henry.
Bruce.
I'll see you
back at the office.
Mr. Matthews, everyone.
Bottoms up.
Mr. Cameron.
Ah. Thanks.
Like father,
like son.
Yeah. The old bastard
would have loved this one.
Only if he'd
pulled it off.
Mr. Turner.
If maxwell calls,
Tell him
we won east shore,
And he owes me 50.
Don't
give me this now.
Cancel
my lunch tomorrow.
I'm working through.
Move the dinner
to next week.
Pull the file on
briggs vs. Gordon.
What about
the rosenberg breakfa--
Can I finish, please?
I need that martinson
deposition on my desk
By 9:00
tomorrow morning.
And call my wife.
Tell her I can't
make dinner at 7:30.
Tell her to call the whoozits
and make it 8:30.
Yes, sir.
Because
you're responsible.
And if you can't learn
To respect
other people's things,
We'll have
a big problem.
You're not to leave
this room tonight.
You understand?
The sooner we get there,
the sooner we leave.
You ready?
Mm-Hmm.
Rosella,
we're going now.
Good night, missus.
Keys?
Got them.
I can't.
Next week, all of our relatives
are coming in.
George, you should
get a boat.
And just send them away?
I like that.
Last year, when sarah's
relatives came,
We chartered
this boat.
Oh, god, the boat.
You take them out,
feed them,
They stare at the
statue of liberty.
Everybody's happy,
and nobody talks.
They don't realize
they're not talking.
I only came because
it said two.
In the paper?
Two fireplaces.
So, finally,
I get there,
And she says,
"no, that's wrong,
But it's got
two fire escapes."
Juliette?
Julia.
Julia.
George, you and julia
really must come
To our christmas party.
Sarah's got a recipe
for trifle
You'd kill for.
You must come.
We've chartered a boat.
Oh, come on.
Good evening,
mrs. Turner.
Hi, eddie.
Good evening,
mr. Turner.
God damn it.
You should apologize
to rachel.
I don't want you dealing
with tracy anymore.
If she doesn't replace
this table, that's it.
Henry,
Go tell rachel
you're sorry.
You never apologized.
Did you tell the caterer
we're 60 now?
Ok.
Hi.
I was angry.
I admit
I was angry.
But with a reason.
My piano is
very important to me.
It's like your doll.
Frank's your baby.
How would you react
If I spilled grape juice
on your baby?
His name isn't frank.
Rachel, the point is,
If you can't
be responsible,
Don't take food
out of the kitchen.
Finished a real big case
today, honey.
And daddy won.
Ok?
All better?
Qui tacet,
consentire videtur.
He who is silent
is understood to consent.
I told rosella to get some
cigarettes. God damn it.
Frances said
Carol's daughter wasn't
accepted at huntington.
They're all dying
rachel got in.
Carol's daughter's
a virtual idiot.
Uh...
I'm going
to go get some.
Be right back.
Don't forget your keys.
A pack of merits.
A pack of merits.
Cigarettes.
Look, anytime tonight
would be ok.
What a fucking day.
Give me your wallet.
Give me a break.
I just want cigarettes.
All right.
Wait a second.
All right.
Wait a minute.
Will you just
wait a minute?
I got to go.
Ok.
Good night.
You should glue the keys
to your hand, henry.
W-What is it?
Excuse us. Excuse us.
Hello. This is mrs. Turner.
Henry turner.
Mrs. Turner?
Mrs. Turner.
Nurse.
So he's, uh, driving
And went off
the side of the road.
The doctors say
forget it, no chance.
Three months later,
he beat me in tennis.
Swear to god.
You never know.
You never know.
Sarah.
Sarah. Darling.
We're here.
We're here.
What did the neurologist
say is going to happen to dad?
He said he didn't know.
Rachel says hi.
So does everyone.
The phone hasn't stopped
ringing all week.
Rosella keeps
rewashing your shirts
So she has
something to do.
She's being great,
just wonderful.
My mother says hi.
She wanted to fly in.
You know,
always trying to help.
She asked what she could
possibly do.
I said, "don't come."
Rachel got
her school uniform.
It's the most
adorable thing.
She put it on,
And she said,
"mom, I don't feel smart."
Henry,
I know you can hear me.
Ok. You can open
one present.
We'll do the rest
in the morning.
Ok. I'll tell him.
You go to sleep now.
I'll be home soon
to tuck you in.
Ok. I love you.
Good night, sweetheart.
Well, I'm going
home now.
Good night,
sweetheart.
I'll see you
tomorrow.
Good night, claudia.
Good night, sarah.
Merry christmas.
Oh, my goodness.
Look who's awake.
Hello, honey.
Let me go call your doctor.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi, darling.
Hi, darling.
Mrs. Turner,
your, uh...
Your husband's
incredibly lucky.
The bullet wound
to the head
Caused
minimal damage.
See, it hit the right
frontal lobe.
That's the only part
of the brain
That has
redundant systems.
If you're going to
get shot in the head,
That's
the way to do it.
But...i, uh...
Ahem,
can't lie to you.
I wish
I had all good news.
The other bullet hit
the subclavian artery.
There was excessive
internal bleeding
And cardiac arrest.
Your husband
suffered anoxia.
It's a lack of oxygen
to the brain,
And the anoxia
caused some damage.
What
I'm getting at...
Is that it's going
to be a long,
Tough
rehabilitation.
How long?
We'll know a lot more
in three months.
The brain
is very mysterious.
Even though
your husband
Seems to have the
capacity to recover,
There's no telling
how well
Or how long
it might take.
In some ways,
He's starting
from scratch here.
Mrs. Turner,
Henry can't speak.
He can't move.
His motor skills aren't
functioning properly.
His memory might be
deeply affected.
Certainly one day,
Everything
might come back,
But there are
no guarantees.
He might not be able
to regain his speech
Or physical
coordination...
Ever.
So how's dad?
He's doing great,
sweetheart.
The rehabilitation
clinic's
Going to be much better
than the hospital.
He wants to get better
before you see him.
Can we get a puppy?
Maybe we will,
honey.
Charlie
called yesterday.
He says this is
a really great place.
Everybody knows
about this place.
But he can't wait
To throw you
a welcome-Back party.
And, for
the 500th time,
He wants me
to tell you...
Not to worry.
Everything's
under control.
Just take your time,
But get back
immediately.
It's so pretty here,
isn't it?
Hello.
Mrs. Turner?
Yes.
I'm dr. Marx,
chief of staff.
Hi, henry.
How's everything
going so far?
Because I'm the boss
around here.
You have any problems,
you complain to me.
What a beautiful
little girl.
That's rachel.
How old is she?
She's going to be 12.
This your little girl,
henry?
Is this your daughter?
Do you remember
your daughter?
Do you remember
your wife?
Henry.
Do you know
who this is, henry?
What do you think?
Look at you.
Brings out
your beautiful eyes.
Come here. Look.
See?
Now, the secret
Is to send the thank-You
note right away
Before a month goes by,
And aunt maggie thinks
You've forgotten
all about her, ok?
Are we going
to be poor now?
What?
Jennifer lerner said
that her mother said
That with dad
in the hospital
And the way
we spend money,
That we're going to be out
on the street in six months.
Is that true?
You can tell
Jennifer lerner
Her mother doesn't know
what she's talking about,
And if she has anything
to say to me,
Her mother better
pick up the phone
And call me herself.
Who the hell does
she think she is?
Sorry.
It's ok.
Now, can you
pick the circle?
Yes. Very good.
Yes. 1 for 1.
All right.
Now, can you
find the triangle?
Close.
I'll give you a hint.
That's not it.
It's green.
The triangle is green.
Yes. Very good.
All right, henry.
We're on our way.
Come in.
Good afternoon,
mr. Turner.
Hey, bradley.
How's it going,
red?
We're just
finishing up here.
How you doing, hank?
Henry's doing
just fine.
Right, henry?
I'll see you guys
later.
All right.
Bye.
If you don't want
to talk at first,
It's cool.
I was a shy kid.
Name's bradley.
I'll be your
physical therapist
For the remainder
of the evening.
Your own personal
gym teacher.
See that wheelchair?
That's going to be your
best friend for a while.
Ready?
All right.
My man.
Mr. Casella.
Watch out. You're
looking sharp.
Sharp.
Bradley.
That's mr. Casella.
He's from kentucky.
Hi, bradley.
Julie. Check out
the new uniform.
Yeow.
Mmm. I got to get me
some of that.
Don't get
any wrong ideas, man.
This isn't
'cause I like it.
It's to get you
back in the swing.
You'll be playing basketball
before you know it,
Jogging 10 miles a day.
I hear you haven't been
talking very much.
Is that true?
Tell me, hank,
is that true
Or just
a nasty-Ass rumor?
Mmm.
Must be true.
Yo, gloria.
Bradley.
That's gloria.
I already had me
some of that.
I'll leave you alone
So you can
talk about it.
I love this place!
This is fabulous!
I love it!
I'm so glad.
I'm so glad.
I haven't done
this in ages.
Well, you're a genius.
You know that.
New york real estate
needs you, my dear.
This country needs you.
Now, I know
that you know this,
But if you or rachel
ever need anything...
Please, no.
Seriously.
Pity scares me.
Actually,
This whole thing's
Making me
a stronger person.
Really.
And henry's getting
better every day,
So...
Sarah, this is me
you're talking to.
He can't walk.
He can't speak.
He doesn't...
remember us.
Nobody knows what's
going to happen.
I talked to our
accountant last week.
And?
Well, it's not good.
We have nothing
put away, really--
A few stocks.
All we have
is the apartment,
Which isn't worth what
it was five years ago.
Without henry's income,
things...
Maybe not tomorrow,
But things are going
to have to change.
Honey, can I give you
a little advice?
Don't--Do not--
Tell anyone else
What
you just told me.
Mm-Mmm.
If I were you,
I would go out
with a few friends
And spend a whole
lot of money.
Would you like to
walk through again?
Oh, no. I don't
have to, thanks.
I'll take it.
See what I mean?
Just like that.
Come on. Ball.
Now, you can
hear the word
In your head,
can't you?
Good. Good.
Now try to say it.
Come on.
You can do it.
Ball.
I know this is
frustrating for you,
But you can do it.
Ball.
Come in.
* baa ba-Dump bump *
* owww *
* bow bow bow
bow bow bow *
* oww--Ding-Ing
ing-Ing-Ing *
* nyow **
Hello, bradley.
Thank you. Thank you.
Good night.
You've been
a wonderful crowd.
Yo, what's up?
Oh, I'm just
working with
The strong,
silent type.
Still no word
from the man, huh?
No, but we're
making progress.
Breakfast.
Thank you.
Mm-Hmm.
All right, listen--
Since you're still not
making any noise,
I'm choosing
the menu.
When you
start to talk,
You can pick.
Eggs bradley.
Made 'em myself.
Hope you like 'em.
What's wrong?
Don't like my eggs?
Aah. Aah.
Ok. Ok, I heard you.
Don't be pretending
you can't talk.
If you don't speak,
I don't know
what you want.
All you got to do
is tell me.
Anything you want.
Make the call.
This is like
room service.
So what do you want,
cheeseburger?
No, no, no.
You like caviar,
shit like that.
Cool, man.
Just tell me
you want caviar.
Come on. Say caviar.
Ca-Vi-Ar.
What?
Come on, man,
say it.
R-Ritz.
Ritz?
Heh heh. You want
some crackers?
You can have
anything you want,
And you want
some crackers!
Get this man some
ritz crackers!
Ritz.
Ha ha ha ha ha!
The work they do at lawrence
is just inspiring.
Henry's doing wonderfully.
You wouldn't believe
your eyes.
I knew he'd set records
for recovery.
You'd be very
proud of him.
He's working hard.
Working hard? Henry?
I can't imagine.
Every day I'm there,
it just amazes me.
He's lucky
to have you.
I second that.
Thank you.
I wanted to ask--
Now don't take this
the wrong way, darling--
I wanted to make sure
That...things
are under control,
That you're ok.
Well, considering,
I'm perfect.
I really do think
everything's going to be ok.
It may take some time
to get back to normal,
But it's going to happen.
I mean financially.
Oh.
I hate to leave you
with the bill,
But you'd be paying,
anyway, right?
Got to get to court.
Good to see you, sarah.
Thank you.
I know this is awkward.
Some things we just
don't talk about,
But you and henry are family.
You know that.
Are you all right?
Because if you
need help--Anything,
I'm prepared to--
We're in
wonderful shape.
No problems.
Really. Thank you.
You're so sweet
to offer.
I knew I could
count on henry.
All right,
my man.
You know
what this is?
It's called
a walker.
Walker.
Yeah,
but that's bullshit,
'Cause you're doing
all the walking.
Now, let's see
If we can get you
standing up, huh?
Scoot up
a little bit.
Good. Ok.
Sit tall.
Sit tall.
Now lean towards me.
I want you
To push up with your
arms and your legs.
Push up, push up.
Very good.
I got you. Don't
worry about it.
Good. Very good.
How's that feel?
I don't know.
That upper body work's
ready to pay off.
Put your right hand
on the walker.
Good. Good.
Ok.
I got you.
You're doing
real good, hank.
Doing real good.
Ok, the first thing
I want you to do
Is slide that walker
forward, ok?
Now slide your left
leg and bend it.
Slide the left leg
and bend it.
Good. Now stand tall.
Straight.
Step.
Good job, hank.
Good job.
Now, slide...
Bend and slide
your left leg.
Stand tall...
And...step.
Good job.
Push the walker
forward.
Bend...and slide.
Stand tall.
Step.
You're
doing it, man.
Go ahead--
Push it forward.
Left. Left--
Bend, slide,
stand up straight.
Step.
There you go.
You're stepping
like a natural man.
Put that left leg
forward.
Put it forward.
Step! Where's
my video camera?
We ought to be
videotaping
This
beautiful moment.
Bend that left leg.
Slide it forward.
Step!
There you go, hank.
You're doing it,
man. Go ahead.
Bend that leg.
Slide it forward.
So my brother
gets home, right,
Goes
into his bedroom.
There's his wife
doin' another man.
The bitch
was cheating.
Uh, che-Cheating?
Doing the serious
with another man.
Sleeping
with another guy.
Oh, no.
Oh, yeah.
And she
just looks up,
And all she says
is, "oops."
Well, so--
So, then what?
Loretta.
Hi.
Looking hot.
She's hot.
She's hot.
Yeah, I--I know.
Y-You got to get you
some of that.
Ha ha ha
ha ha ha.
Where you going
looking so pretty?
To get my dad.
He doesn't remember me.
Let's go, sweetie.
Thanks, eddie.
Bye.
Uh, go up the west side
highway, please.
What's up, man?
Hey, man,
what you doing?
Painting.
Crackers.
Looks great.
But you're
not packed.
Why aren't
you packed?
Um...
I'm not going.
Remember what
dr. Marx told you?
Remember when
we talked about this
A couple
of days ago?
Yeah. I--
I changed my mind.
I'm going to stay.
Your wife
and daughter
Are coming
to pick you up.
You're going home.
But...
I live here.
No, man.
This is a pit stop.
I hear you got
a beautiful place.
But...you're not
going to be there.
No.
No. I got to
hang here,
But you got
your family.
But...
I--I--
I don't know them.
I don't.
They love you.
They're going to
take care of you.
Well, I don't want them
to take care of me, bradley!
I don't!
No. Stop it!
Hank, listen.
Leave me alone,
bradley.
Hank, you're going
to be fine.
You got to
go back sometime.
I just...
I just
c-Can't remember.
I don't know
those people.
I'll be right outside.
Hi, sarah.
Hi.
How you
doing, hon?
Fine.
Hi, henry.
Hi, dad.
Hi.
We think it's time
you come home.
Yeah. Uh, he told me.
Bradley told me.
Is that ok?
Do you want
to come home?
What about bradley?
Bradley can take
care of himself,
And you've got us...
And we're
going to help you
In every way we can.
You've got a life
back at home,
A life with
friends and family
And everything
you could ever want.
All you have to do
Is say you want
to come home,
That's all.
It's easy.
I don't want to.
We already
discussed this.
I think it may
be premature
For henry
to go home.
I think he should
want to first.
I just want what's best.
Hi.
I'm bradley.
He's not mad at you.
Hey...
Why don't you go
and talk to him?
Big loop...
Little loop,
Cross over,
Pull through.
H-How did you learn
to do that?
You taught me.
There was gray carpet.
I remember gray carpet.
Where was that?
That was home.
I remember gray carpet.
I want to go home.
Ok, honey?
Come on, rachel.
Henry?
Come on.
A walkman...
For a walking
man.
Wow.
When you get home,
You listen to this
And think of your
friend bradley.
Am I going to see you?
Yeah.
Promise?
Hell, yeah,
I promise.
Ok. Bye.
Thanks.
Hey...
it's what I do.
High five.
Bye.
Bye.
Hi, eddie.
Hi, rach.
Hi, eddie.
Hi, eddie.
Good to see you,
mr. Turner.
Wow.
This is home.
Wow.
I remember
the smell.
I don't smell
anything.
Nice table.
Henry?
Yeah?
Are you coming
to bed?
I'm going to sleep there?
Yeah.
This is
your side.
Ok.
I remember your hair.
Everything's
going to be ok.
Everything.
You look good,
mr. Henry.
Real good.
Your face
and everything.
Thanks.
No eggs.
No, I don't like eggs.
What?
Eggs are
your favorite.
Ok. Give me
a lot of eggs.
This is
wonderful,
All of us
together again.
We never used to eat
breakfast together.
I always
wished we had.
Oh! I'm sorry.
That's ok.
I do that
all the time.
You do?
Yeah.
See?
Henry...
I'll be back
in 20 minutes.
If you need anything,
just ask rosella.
Ok.
The one with the eggs.
That's right.
Ready.
Ok.
Be back soon.
Bye.
Bye.
Did you get
your books?
Yeah.
I'm taking rachel
to school.
Keep an eye on him?
Is mr. Henry ok?
Yes.
He's fine.
Come on, honey.
You ok?
Yeah.
You need anything,
mr. Henry?
No...thank you.
Rosella?
What do I--I do
when I'm home?
You are working
all the time.
I--I work a lot.
You work so hard,
I can't believe it.
Well, what do I do
when I'm not working?
You are
always working.
Welcome home,
mr. Henry.
Thank you.
Just a minute, please.
Hello, mr. Turner.
Hi.
Hello,
mr. Turner.
Hi.
Here you are.
Thank you.
Bye-Bye now.
Thanks.
Hi, eddie.
Good morning,
mr. Turner.
I'm going to
take a walk now.
Have a good
time, sir.
What are you,
a goddamn retard?
Get the hell
out of the street!
Where's henry?
In your room, I think.
Henry, where are you?
Howdy.
Hi.
Hungry?
Yeah.
That's what I like to hear.
Mustard and kraut?
Kraut?
Where is he?
Hello.
It's henry.
Check it out.
Check it out.
Ohh! Oh...
Ohh...
Ohh! Oh...
Oh...
He was wearing a blue shirt
and khaki pants.
Listen,
you're the fifth person
To ask me these questions.
I just want to find
my husband.
I'll wait here.
I won't be long,
sweetheart.
I've just got to go look.
Henry!
Where were you?
I bought a dog.
Mom, look.
A puppy. Look!
Wow.
You really
missed me, huh?
Can we call him buddy?
That's jennifer's dog,
but he's really ugly.
Buddy.
Yeah.
Is that ok?
Yeah. Buddy's fine.
Hi, buddy.
Just let me know before
you go out next time, ok?
Ok.
Excuse me.
Why is she so mad?
If you're
going to be late,
You have to call her.
Oh.
Ok.
Some of them you can
borrow and take home,
But some of them
you have to read here.
And you can't
talk loud.
Right.
Dad...
Stop it.
Dad...
I'm serious.
I know.
Very.
Dad...
Read your book.
I can't.
I'm sorry.
A...
Ah.
Ah...
Ah...
Ah..Rrr...
Arrr...eee.
Arrreee.
The "e" is silent.
See, it's just "r."
Now, miss petesky
always made us repeat it
Over and over.
But I won't
make you do that.
This next one's easy.
Y...
Yuh.
Yuh...
Yo...
Yo...
Ooh...
Yo-Yooh.
Yo-Ooh.
Yo?
You?
You.
You.
"Are you."
See? The letters
make up words,
And the words
make up sentences.
This is
a little one.
Mmm. Mmm.
Mmm.
Mmm...wa-Wa.
Mmm...y.
Mmm...ah...mmm...
My.
My?
My.
"Are you my..."
"Are you my..."
Ok. One more.
This is the toughie.
Mmm...

You did it.
"Are you my mother?"
I--Ha ha ha!
I can read.
Sarah, rosella,
I can read.
He can read!
I can read.
A...ja...
A-Ajax.
This is ajax.
Yes, it is.
Ha ha!
I can read.
I can read.
What happened?
She taught me
how to read!
This is ajax.
That's great!
I can read.
Bruce!
Uh, the door was unlocked.
I knocked, but...
I can read.
Hi, henry.
Christ,
I can't tell you
what a shock it was.
I mean, uh...
One minute, you're
at the restaurant,
The next...you know.
And the newspapers--
They never stopped
calling the office.
Charlie was, uh,
out of his mind.
Linda...
Uh, everybody...
Henry.
If they'd found
that son of a bitch,
I'd have brought
the death penalty
Back to new york
single-Handedly.
Anyway...
So, uh,
here we are, huh?
And, uh...
We got the big party
coming up.
I'm looking
forward to that.
And, uh...i know
charlie is, too.
Were we really good
friends...
Bruce?
Uh, yeah.
Oh, of course.
You know,
we're, uh...
Partners.
Hmm.
Well, aren't you
going to open it?
Oh, yeah.
Uh...
It's a...
It's a frame.
It's--It's just
a little frame.
Ok.
Thanks.
"What am I going
to do with him?"
Henry's dad said.
"I've grounded him, but
I don't know what to do."
I said, "are you kidding?
I want that boy
in the firm."
And as it turned out,
it was the best decision
I ever made.
For years,
the halls of our firm
Have resounded with
the call of henry turner,
Throwing on his jacket,
striding through the office,
Crying, "come on, guys,
Let's go out
and break some balls."
I offer a toast
to the years to come,
When once more, we will hear
that familiar cry.
To henry.
S-S-Sarah...
S-S-Said I
should say something.
Uh, I don't remember
any of you.
I don't really remember...
Very much of--Of anything.
Um...
Uh, it's all mixed up.
Um...
Like, I remember...
Um...
That rachel
likes strawberries
On her pancakes,
But I don't...
Remember...
Any of her birthday parties,
Although I saw pictures,
and I was there.
Um...
I...
I remem-Remember
a woman in a blue dress
Standing on grass.
Uh...
Um...
I think that's my mother,
But I don't know
if it's my mother.
Um...
So if you'll
just be patient,
I'll--I'm...
I'm trying.
Here's another one of me
as a baby.
W-Who's this?
You.
Your father used
to make you mow the lawn
And take out the garbage
and walk the dog
And wash the car,
And then you learned
to appreciate the work ethic.
What's that?
I don't know.
Bike.
Hi, henry.
Hi.
Hi.
Hello.
Good to see you.
Oh, thank you. Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
Hello.
Hi.
It's great
to see you back.
Thank you.
Hi.
Hello.
Hi.
Welcome back,
mr. Turner.
Oh, thank you.
Henry, hello. I'm rudy.
Ru-Dy.
I just want to say hello
and welcome back.
What's wrong with him?
He's an asshole.
Oh.
Henry.
Hi.
It's linda.
Hi, linda.
It's good to see you
back at the office.
It's good
to see you, too...
Linda.
This is your office.
And this is...
Jessica.
Jessica. She was
your secretary,
And she was working
for steven
While you were away.
Nice flower.
Thank you.
Wow.
I'm at the end of the hall
if you need anything.
Ok. Well,
I'll be in here
If you need anything.
Let's grab lunch
this week.
Ok.
He's back.
Grab lunch.
Grab lunch.
Grab lunch.
"Matthews...
V. East shore
h-H-Hospital."
Say when.
When you've had enough,
mr. Turner,
You say, "when."
Oh. When.
You want anything
from the kitchen?
Thanks. I'm ok.
A little milk
and cookies?
Mallomars?
Uh, no. I just--I have
to finish reading this.
You don't remember
mallomars, do you?
No.
Marshmallows in chocolate?
I once watched you
eat a whole package
In 3 1/2 minutes.
Ok. I'll have
some mallomars.
Buddy...
Sit.
So we push for october.
We can go to trial then.
What about lawson?
He's on the barnes case.
How long?
Lawson? Try a decade.
What did he say?
Nothing helpful.
We've got to make a choice.
What?
Do we postpone?
We can't push this
off forever.
Either we get it,
or we don't.
If we lose rogers,
Half a dozen other
clients will follow.
We can't lose his case
because of barnes.
So we go september
with another witness.
We'll pull
a henry turner.
It's really decent of you
To let henry
come back like this.
Well, after all,
we're human, aren't we?
Um, is--Is there
more, um...
On matthews vs.
East shore hospital?
That would be
in the file room.
I'll get the file.
Ok. I'll wait here.
Uh...
You can wait
in your office.
I'll bring it to you.
Ok. I'll wait
in my office.
He's going
to paul weiss?
Montgomery offered him
650 and a partnership.
What would you do?
I'd have to
see the office.
Oh, yeah.
Welcome back,
mr. Turner.
Oh, hi.
I've got this question.
What is it?
Um, uh...
In this case...
Uh, which one?
M-M-Matthews.
East shore
hospital--
Your famous
last case.
Yeah. Yeah. We said
That the hospital
wasn't responsible
Because mr. Matthews
didn't tell them
He was a diabetic.
That was the argument.
The hospital
wasn't responsible
Because they didn't know
the guy was on insulin.
Yeah, but look.
In this file, um...
This other patient,
um, miss macnair,
Uh, said that she heard
mr. Matthews, uh...
Tell the nurse
he was diabetic,
But she didn't
write it down.
Um, so, we're--We're saying
they're not responsible,
But--But we
didn't tell them
About this lady's statement.
So what?
Come on, henry.
Put it away.
Put it back
in the file.
But, so, um...
What we did was wrong.
What we did is paying
for our lunch.
So everything's ok?
Still love me?
Yeah. When are you
coming home?
Uh, I'll be home
by dinner.
Don't spoil
your appetite.
Ok. You, too.
Bye-Bye.
"Mix until...
"Creamy.
"Drop spoonfuls...
"On...
Greas-Ed cookie sheet."
Let's make
one big cookie.
You can't.
It doesn't cook.
I tried it once.
Oh.
Were you scared
at the hospital?
At first.
Yeah.
But then it got ok,
right?
Yeah. Then it got ok.
'Cause I start
school soon.
Sleep-Away.
What--What
do you mean?
I'm going away.
Well...
Well, no--
No one, uh, told me.
Are you scared?
Do you still
want me to go?
Me? No. I, uh...
No, I--I--No.
'Cause I could--I could
go to school around here.
Well, I don't want you
to go anywhere, but...
I'm not sure
it's up to me.
Is it up to me?
Well, look, I'll--
I'll talk to mom, ok?
Ok.
Ok.
Maybe she
could stay home
And go to school
s-Somewhere around here.
It's what we agreed on.
That school only
takes 30 kids a year,
And rachel's
one of them.
There's got to be
A few things
that we decided
That I can count on.
It's a great
opportunity for her...
And for us.
I think it's important.
I...
I saw a house today,
A place I think would
be much better for us.
It's so big here,
don't you think?
I found someone
Who wants
to buy this apartment.
I want to show you
this house.
You think
we should move?
I do.
And you think rachel
should go away to school?
Yeah.
Ok.
Oh...
Hi, rachel.
Hi, Jennifer.
Sweetheart, this
is a wonderful school.
You see? You already
have a friend here.
I hate
Jennifer lerner.
You're going
to meet
All sorts
of very nice girls.
I don't think so.
Of course you are.
Honey...
One--One of the things
I do remember...
Is--Is my first day
at school.
There were all these
weird-Looking kids,
And I didn't know
any of them,
And they didn't know me.
I was--I was scared...
But after two days,
We were all laughing
about how scared we were.
Everybody feels
like you do, honey.
Everybody.
Take care of buddy.
I will.
Try and teach him
how to sit, ok?
Ok.
Well, come on.
You don't want to
miss orientation.
Henry, that's great.
I didn't know you
remembered your school.
I don't.
Hey...
How you doing?
I miss her.
Me, too.
We'll see her
on parents' day.
Look...
There's cassiopeia.
And...
There's the big dripper.
And the little dripper.
So strange
the things I remember.
Is this ok?
Yeah.
Ever since
you've come home...
We haven't
made love.
I mean, if you're
nervous or something...
We can
talk about it.
Well, yeah,
I'm a little nervous.
Um, oh, ok.
W-Well, r-R-R...
Really nervous.
Very nervous.
Why?
Well, I don't...
I don't know. I...
Uh, look, I s--
I saw this movie,
and, um...
I don't know if I can do it
like that guy did it.
Yeah.
Touch me.
Sarah?
Hmm?
Tell me how we met.
Uh...
It was at chris lonner's
birthday party.
You were
a hot, young lawyer,
And I was
answering phones
At harper's bazaar.
I was standing
in the doorway,
Smoking a cigarette,
Back when
I used to smoke...
And you just
came up to me.
"I'm henry,"
you said,
"And you're
beautiful."
I did?
That made me completely
self-Conscious.
You had such confidence,
You just drew me in.
We talked for hours...
Ignored everyone.
And then the girl
you were with got mad
And wanted to go.
And as you left,
you handed me your card
And said, "have you
ever eaten blowfish?
'Cause I know this
great blowfish place."
You made me laugh.
And I went home
and told my roommate
I met the man
I was going to marry.
I like it.
The glass table
in the living room,
Next to the couch.
We can keep the dining
room table, right?
Right. Right.
What?
Does this
bother you?
No.
Then why are you
looking at me like that?
Because you never
used to hold my hand.
Oh.
You didn't like showing
affection in public.
It bothered you.
Why?
I don't know why.
You don't know why?
No.
Me, either.
What are you doing?
Come up here.
Henry, what?
Come here.
I don't mind
so much anymore.
Sarah?
Phyllis, hi.
Hi.
I thou--
I thought that was you.
Hello, henry.
Hi.
This is phyllis
and daniel.
They were at
charlie's party.
Hello, phyllis
and daniel.
Henry.
Well, um, I was
going to call you.
I'm having a housewarming
on the 20th.
I'd love it
if you'd come.
Ok.
Ok, thanks.
All right, then.
Uh, we'll talk.
It's good to see you.
I'll call you.
Big kiss.
Ok.
Jessica, I'd like
to see the file
On stevenson vs. Murray.
I'm sorry,
mr. Turner,
I can't.
How come?
I'm not allowed
to give you
Any more of your
old case files.
No one can believe
what you've done.
I just moved in
everything that I love.
It's amazing.
I don't want to see swatches
for six months.
It looks like you've
lived here forever.
It's just all
my old favorite things.
It's the nicest house
you've ever had.
I agree. I feel
like I'm home.
Hi.
Hello, darling.
How's henry?
He's fine.
He's here.
Marvelous.
Seven brothers
and sisters, huh?
That's right.
Is it really hot
in memphis?
Very hot.
Hey, how you doing?
These little ones
are really good,
But that lady there
in the gold dress
Thinks
they're a disaster.
And that woman
near the window...
Mm-Hmm?
Just had
her face done.
Not her neck.
Just her eyes.
And that other man
used to be her husband.
Says, "who
is she kidding?
The damage
is done."
It's such a shame.
He was so good.
Henry represented my cousin
three years ago.
He was the best.
Everybody
was terrified of him.
Of course,
I've known sarah forever.
He's back
at work.
Doing what?
Getting paid
for doing nothing
Doesn't sound
so bad.
It's not henry
I feel sorry for.
It's sarah.
She's got
two kids now.
What can she possibly
look forward to?
One minute,
you're an attorney.
The next,
you're an imbecile.
That's not
a very long trip.
Phyllis...
I am afraid we, uh...
we can't stay for dinner.
I wanted
to say good night.
Thank you.
Shit.
You can't
let them hurt you,
Those people.
They don't
know you anymore.
Darling...
I'm not going
to work today.
Sit.
Henry, I invited
someone over.
Bradley.
Oh, dinner.
Thanks.
So, what's up?
I thought I could
go back to my life,
But...i don't like
who I was, bradley.
I--I don't fit in.
I got bad knees.
What?
My knees,
they're bad.
Ask me why.
Why?
Football.
Wrecked them both
Playing
college football.
Man, it was my life.
Football--
What else was there?
Not jack shit.
Homecoming, right?
That son of a bitch
threw a perfect spiral,
And I caught it.
Boom.
Right out
of the sky.
I had the moment.
When that
safety hit me
And I felt
my knees pop,
I knew that was it.
Game over.
Forget it.
I was dead.
My life was over,
hank.
Now ask me if I mind
having bad knees.
Do you mind--
No.
No way.
It was a test.
I had
to find a life.
The therapist that
helped me walk again,
He was so cool.
I thought...
"That's what
I want to do."
When I told some
of my buddies,
They laughed
in my face.
Called me a nurse,
Bought me white
dresses and shit.
But check it out.
You're walking.
You're talking.
You're sitting here
Drinking some pretty
expensive beer.
I had something
to do with that.
If it weren't
for my knees,
I'd never
have met you.
So, no,
I don't mind having
bad knees. No.
Let me tell you
something, hank.
Don't listen
to nobody
Trying to tell you
who you are.
It might
take a while,
But you'll
figure yourself out.
Thanks.
Hah.
It would be
a great story
If we'd
won the game.
Yeah, hi. This is
rachel turner's father.
I want to talk
to rachel, please.
Well, I'm not sure
it's an emergency,
But I just got this
letter from her,
And she's...
"Miserable."
Yeah, but, um...
She just
sounds so sad.
I just thought
I could--
I don't know,
Cheer her up
A little
or something.
Yeah, I see.
Uh-Huh.
Ok, yeah.
I'll call back,
um, after 6:00.
Thank you.
This is for you,
mr. Henry.
Oh.
Thanks.
I going to miss you,
mr. Henry.
I like you
much better now.
"Enjoy your new home.
"Your friend and partner,
Bruce."
"Sarah...
I need you...now."
"I feel you...
against me."
"Call me tonight."
"Bruce."
Henry, you back here?
We closed.
It's ours.
The house
is officially ours.
Oh, god.
Oh, my god.
Henry.
It happened before?
Oh, god, please.
Before I was shot?
You slept
with bruce before?
It didn't last.
He kept
writing to me,
But it didn't last.
Everything
was different.
You were different.
I don't remember
what I was like, sarah!
Listen to me.
Don't walk away!
We were miserable.
You don't remember,
but I do.
I was lonely.
We were in love once,
years ago.
And then we weren't,
not for a long time.
But we're better now.
Please don't walk away...
Not now.
Well, I would
like to.
Could you do that?
You could?
I think that would
be perfect.
Wait a minute.
I'll call you back.
Please.
Please.
Talk to me.
Ahem.
I followed you.
Bruce doesn't know
I'm here.
Uh, look, I don't have
anything to say.
I think
we should talk.
Well, I don't.
Bruce was right.
You were different.
You shouldn't take it
all out on him.
He's been
a good friend to you.
Bruce took over
your cases.
He took care
of things.
He sure did.
Bruce is so humiliated.
He's humiliated.
Look, linda,
I know bruce is
a friend of yours,
And I know that
you mean well,
But this is not
a good time for me.
Henry, this isn't
any fun for me, either.
What are you
talking about?
I'm talking about us.
You're not the only one
who lost in this.
I lost, too.
I lost the one man
I ever loved,
And it was you, henry.
It's hard to see you
every day in the office,
And you don't know me.
This was our hotel.
Every tuesday and thursday
at the ritz.
Ritz.
You were going
to leave sarah for me,
And now it's gone.
No.
It's all gone.
He-Henry.
No.
Mrs. Matthews?
May I help--
What are you
doing here?
You remember me.
We remember you,
mr. Turner.
I came to apologize.
Are you kidding me?
No.
I'm serious.
Um...
Just give that
to your lawyer.
What's this?
Your husband did
tell the nurse
That he was diabetic.
It-It's all in there.
I-I'm sorry.
Why?
I changed.
I guess.
Good-Bye.
Hi, anne.
Mr. Turner,
he's in a meeting.
It's ok.
Got to go.
Jesus christ.
Excuse me.
Charlie, I just
came to say...
Good-Bye.
Fine, henry.
See you tomorrow.
Um, no, charlie. I...
I can't be a lawyer
anymore.
Thank you.
You've been
really good to me.
Uh...
Just wait.
We'll talk
about this.
No, I can't wait.
Good-Bye.
Well...good luck.
Mr. Cameron.
I have the matthews' lawyer
on line three.
Good luck to you,
too, charlie.
Good-Bye, jessica.
Mr. Turner,
what happened?
Well...
I had enough,
so I said "when."
Good for you.
Good-Bye.
Good-Bye, linda.
I know this great
blowfish place.
Henry...
I'm sorry.
No. I'm sorry.
You were right.
Things
were different.
Oh, henry.
There's something
I need to tell you.
What is it?
I don't
like my clothes.
Maybe they used
to be my favorites,
But I don't
feel comfortable
In them anymore.
We'll get you
new clothes.
I'm not done.
Eggs.
I don't like eggs...
Or steak.
And, sarah...
I hate being a lawyer.
I quit.
I told charlie good-Bye.
Oh...
Whatever you want
is fine.
I want us
to be a family...
For as long
as we can, sarah.
For as long as we can.
I love you.
Oh, I love you, too.
I did like
those mallomars, though.
You're all learning
what that means
When you ask yourself,
"Why do I push myself?
"Why do I strive
to be a harder worker?
A better listener?"
Well, look around you.
There are the answers
to those questions.
Competition.
Everyone
close your eyes.
Repeat to yourself
silently,
"I will...
Work harder."
"I will
listen better."
Buddy.
It's her dad!
Hi, honey.
You taught buddy
to sit?
Uh, mr. Turner,
We're in the middle
of a session.
I know.
I'm sorry
to interrupt.
I missed her first
11 years, and...
And I don't want
to miss any more.
It's good to see you
doing so well, mr. Turner.
Thank you.
E-Excuse us.
Let's go home.
Hi, honey.
What?
Smell the grass.
Buddy,
come on!
We all voted
against it.
for a long time now,
Listening to people
talk for months.
Complicated
medical testimony.
A lot of emotion
in this case.
There is not a person
in this room
Who isn't sorry about what
happened to mr. Matthews.
It's a tragedy.
And when something
like this happens,
You desperately want
to blame someone, don't you?
Someone else.
We understand that.
It's natural.
What have we got here?
What's the bottom line?
It's mr. Matthews' word
Against the east shore
hospital, isn't it?
That's exactly what it is.
Now, obviously,
any decent human being
Would want to believe
mr. Matthews--
Believe that he told the
admitting nurse, mrs. Valdez,
That he was diabetic.
It would seem,
uh...poetic
That someone else
was to blame.
It would feel right.
But, uh...
it wouldn't be fair.
Let's--Let's
think for a second.
Who's being blamed here?
It's not some big, bad
hospital corporation.
We're talking
about human beings--
Four doctors, five nurses,
The hospital chief of staff
present at the time--
All of them there
for no other purpose
Than to try and save
jonathan matthews' life.
I don't like
doing this,
But if we're all
going to do our jobs,
I've got to
bring this up again.
Mr. Matthews
is an alcoholic.
In july of 1979,
he tried to commit suicide.
And you know, even I was
surprised to learn--
From the plaintiff's
own doctors, ironically--
That this tragedy
could have been caused
By the abuse of alcohol.
So here's my point--
We all understand
Why mr. Matthews
is blaming the hospital.
But nobody could have prevented
mr. Matthews' suffering
Except mr. Matthews.
Listen to me.
Listen to me.
The table you delivered
is not the table I ordered.
I'm having a party
on friday,
And the table
sitting in my dining room
Looks like
a goddamn turtle.
"We find for the defendant
on all counts."
That was great.
Great, henry.
Bruce.
I'll see you
back at the office.
Mr. Matthews, everyone.
Bottoms up.
Mr. Cameron.
Ah. Thanks.
Like father,
like son.
Yeah. The old bastard
would have loved this one.
Only if he'd
pulled it off.
Mr. Turner.
If maxwell calls,
Tell him
we won east shore,
And he owes me 50.
Don't
give me this now.
Cancel
my lunch tomorrow.
I'm working through.
Move the dinner
to next week.
Pull the file on
briggs vs. Gordon.
What about
the rosenberg breakfa--
Can I finish, please?
I need that martinson
deposition on my desk
By 9:00
tomorrow morning.
And call my wife.
Tell her I can't
make dinner at 7:30.
Tell her to call the whoozits
and make it 8:30.
Yes, sir.
Because
you're responsible.
And if you can't learn
To respect
other people's things,
We'll have
a big problem.
You're not to leave
this room tonight.
You understand?
The sooner we get there,
the sooner we leave.
You ready?
Mm-Hmm.
Rosella,
we're going now.
Good night, missus.
Keys?
Got them.
I can't.
Next week, all of our relatives
are coming in.
George, you should
get a boat.
And just send them away?
I like that.
Last year, when sarah's
relatives came,
We chartered
this boat.
Oh, god, the boat.
You take them out,
feed them,
They stare at the
statue of liberty.
Everybody's happy,
and nobody talks.
They don't realize
they're not talking.
I only came because
it said two.
In the paper?
Two fireplaces.
So, finally,
I get there,
And she says,
"no, that's wrong,
But it's got
two fire escapes."
Juliette?
Julia.
Julia.
George, you and julia
really must come
To our christmas party.
Sarah's got a recipe
for trifle
You'd kill for.
You must come.
We've chartered a boat.
Oh, come on.
Good evening,
mrs. Turner.
Hi, eddie.
Good evening,
mr. Turner.
God damn it.
You should apologize
to rachel.
I don't want you dealing
with tracy anymore.
If she doesn't replace
this table, that's it.
Henry,
Go tell rachel
you're sorry.
You never apologized.
Did you tell the caterer
we're 60 now?
Ok.
Hi.
I was angry.
I admit
I was angry.
But with a reason.
My piano is
very important to me.
It's like your doll.
Frank's your baby.
How would you react
If I spilled grape juice
on your baby?
His name isn't frank.
Rachel, the point is,
If you can't
be responsible,
Don't take food
out of the kitchen.
Finished a real big case
today, honey.
And daddy won.
Ok?
All better?
Qui tacet,
consentire videtur.
He who is silent
is understood to consent.
I told rosella to get some
cigarettes. God damn it.
Frances said
Carol's daughter wasn't
accepted at huntington.
They're all dying
rachel got in.
Carol's daughter's
a virtual idiot.
Uh...
I'm going
to go get some.
Be right back.
Don't forget your keys.
A pack of merits.
A pack of merits.
Cigarettes.
Look, anytime tonight
would be ok.
What a fucking day.
Give me your wallet.
Give me a break.
I just want cigarettes.
All right.
Wait a second.
All right.
Wait a minute.
Will you just
wait a minute?
I got to go.
Ok.
Good night.
You should glue the keys
to your hand, henry.
W-What is it?
Excuse us. Excuse us.
Hello. This is mrs. Turner.
Henry turner.
Mrs. Turner?
Mrs. Turner.
Nurse.
So he's, uh, driving
And went off
the side of the road.
The doctors say
forget it, no chance.
Three months later,
he beat me in tennis.
Swear to god.
You never know.
You never know.
Sarah.
Sarah. Darling.
We're here.
We're here.
What did the neurologist
say is going to happen to dad?
He said he didn't know.
Rachel says hi.
So does everyone.
The phone hasn't stopped
ringing all week.
Rosella keeps
rewashing your shirts
So she has
something to do.
She's being great,
just wonderful.
My mother says hi.
She wanted to fly in.
You know,
always trying to help.
She asked what she could
possibly do.
I said, "don't come."
Rachel got
her school uniform.
It's the most
adorable thing.
She put it on,
And she said,
"mom, I don't feel smart."
Henry,
I know you can hear me.
Ok. You can open
one present.
We'll do the rest
in the morning.
Ok. I'll tell him.
You go to sleep now.
I'll be home soon
to tuck you in.
Ok. I love you.
Good night, sweetheart.
Well, I'm going
home now.
Good night,
sweetheart.
I'll see you
tomorrow.
Good night, claudia.
Good night, sarah.
Merry christmas.
Oh, my goodness.
Look who's awake.
Hello, honey.
Let me go call your doctor.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi, darling.
Hi, darling.
Mrs. Turner,
your, uh...
Your husband's
incredibly lucky.
The bullet wound
to the head
Caused
minimal damage.
See, it hit the right
frontal lobe.
That's the only part
of the brain
That has
redundant systems.
If you're going to
get shot in the head,
That's
the way to do it.
But...i, uh...
Ahem,
can't lie to you.
I wish
I had all good news.
The other bullet hit
the subclavian artery.
There was excessive
internal bleeding
And cardiac arrest.
Your husband
suffered anoxia.
It's a lack of oxygen
to the brain,
And the anoxia
caused some damage.
What
I'm getting at...
Is that it's going
to be a long,
Tough
rehabilitation.
How long?
We'll know a lot more
in three months.
The brain
is very mysterious.
Even though
your husband
Seems to have the
capacity to recover,
There's no telling
how well
Or how long
it might take.
In some ways,
He's starting
from scratch here.
Mrs. Turner,
Henry can't speak.
He can't move.
His motor skills aren't
functioning properly.
His memory might be
deeply affected.
Certainly one day,
Everything
might come back,
But there are
no guarantees.
He might not be able
to regain his speech
Or physical
coordination...
Ever.
So how's dad?
He's doing great,
sweetheart.
The rehabilitation
clinic's
Going to be much better
than the hospital.
He wants to get better
before you see him.
Can we get a puppy?
Maybe we will,
honey.
Charlie
called yesterday.
He says this is
a really great place.
Everybody knows
about this place.
But he can't wait
To throw you
a welcome-Back party.
And, for
the 500th time,
He wants me
to tell you...
Not to worry.
Everything's
under control.
Just take your time,
But get back
immediately.
It's so pretty here,
isn't it?
Hello.
Mrs. Turner?
Yes.
I'm dr. Marx,
chief of staff.
Hi, henry.
How's everything
going so far?
Because I'm the boss
around here.
You have any problems,
you complain to me.
What a beautiful
little girl.
That's rachel.
How old is she?
She's going to be 12.
This your little girl,
henry?
Is this your daughter?
Do you remember
your daughter?
Do you remember
your wife?
Henry.
Do you know
who this is, henry?
What do you think?
Look at you.
Brings out
your beautiful eyes.
Come here. Look.
See?
Now, the secret
Is to send the thank-You
note right away
Before a month goes by,
And aunt maggie thinks
You've forgotten
all about her, ok?
Are we going
to be poor now?
What?
Jennifer lerner said
that her mother said
That with dad
in the hospital
And the way
we spend money,
That we're going to be out
on the street in six months.
Is that true?
You can tell
Jennifer lerner
Her mother doesn't know
what she's talking about,
And if she has anything
to say to me,
Her mother better
pick up the phone
And call me herself.
Who the hell does
she think she is?
Sorry.
It's ok.
Now, can you
pick the circle?
Yes. Very good.
Yes. 1 for 1.
All right.
Now, can you
find the triangle?
Close.
I'll give you a hint.
That's not it.
It's green.
The triangle is green.
Yes. Very good.
All right, henry.
We're on our way.
Come in.
Good afternoon,
mr. Turner.
Hey, bradley.
How's it going,
red?
We're just
finishing up here.
How you doing, hank?
Henry's doing
just fine.
Right, henry?
I'll see you guys
later.
All right.
Bye.
If you don't want
to talk at first,
It's cool.
I was a shy kid.
Name's bradley.
I'll be your
physical therapist
For the remainder
of the evening.
Your own personal
gym teacher.
See that wheelchair?
That's going to be your
best friend for a while.
Ready?
All right.
My man.
Mr. Casella.
Watch out. You're
looking sharp.
Sharp.
Bradley.
That's mr. Casella.
He's from kentucky.
Hi, bradley.
Julie. Check out
the new uniform.
Yeow.
Mmm. I got to get me
some of that.
Don't get
any wrong ideas, man.
This isn't
'cause I like it.
It's to get you
back in the swing.
You'll be playing basketball
before you know it,
Jogging 10 miles a day.
I hear you haven't been
talking very much.
Is that true?
Tell me, hank,
is that true
Or just
a nasty-Ass rumor?
Mmm.
Must be true.
Yo, gloria.
Bradley.
That's gloria.
I already had me
some of that.
I'll leave you alone
So you can
talk about it.
I love this place!
This is fabulous!
I love it!
I'm so glad.
I'm so glad.
I haven't done
this in ages.
Well, you're a genius.
You know that.
New york real estate
needs you, my dear.
This country needs you.
Now, I know
that you know this,
But if you or rachel
ever need anything...
Please, no.
Seriously.
Pity scares me.
Actually,
This whole thing's
Making me
a stronger person.
Really.
And henry's getting
better every day,
So...
Sarah, this is me
you're talking to.
He can't walk.
He can't speak.
He doesn't...
remember us.
Nobody knows what's
going to happen.
I talked to our
accountant last week.
And?
Well, it's not good.
We have nothing
put away, really--
A few stocks.
All we have
is the apartment,
Which isn't worth what
it was five years ago.
Without henry's income,
things...
Maybe not tomorrow,
But things are going
to have to change.
Honey, can I give you
a little advice?
Don't--Do not--
Tell anyone else
What
you just told me.
Mm-Mmm.
If I were you,
I would go out
with a few friends
And spend a whole
lot of money.
Would you like to
walk through again?
Oh, no. I don't
have to, thanks.
I'll take it.
See what I mean?
Just like that.
Come on. Ball.
Now, you can
hear the word
In your head,
can't you?
Good. Good.
Now try to say it.
Come on.
You can do it.
Ball.
I know this is
frustrating for you,
But you can do it.
Ball.
Come in.
* baa ba-Dump bump *
* owww *
* bow bow bow
bow bow bow *
* oww--Ding-Ing
ing-Ing-Ing *
* nyow **
Hello, bradley.
Thank you. Thank you.
Good night.
You've been
a wonderful crowd.
Yo, what's up?
Oh, I'm just
working with
The strong,
silent type.
Still no word
from the man, huh?
No, but we're
making progress.
Breakfast.
Thank you.
Mm-Hmm.
All right, listen--
Since you're still not
making any noise,
I'm choosing
the menu.
When you
start to talk,
You can pick.
Eggs bradley.
Made 'em myself.
Hope you like 'em.
What's wrong?
Don't like my eggs?
Aah. Aah.
Ok. Ok, I heard you.
Don't be pretending
you can't talk.
If you don't speak,
I don't know
what you want.
All you got to do
is tell me.
Anything you want.
Make the call.
This is like
room service.
So what do you want,
cheeseburger?
No, no, no.
You like caviar,
shit like that.
Cool, man.
Just tell me
you want caviar.
Come on. Say caviar.
Ca-Vi-Ar.
What?
Come on, man,
say it.
R-Ritz.
Ritz?
Heh heh. You want
some crackers?
You can have
anything you want,
And you want
some crackers!
Get this man some
ritz crackers!
Ritz.
Ha ha ha ha ha!
The work they do at lawrence
is just inspiring.
Henry's doing wonderfully.
You wouldn't believe
your eyes.
I knew he'd set records
for recovery.
You'd be very
proud of him.
He's working hard.
Working hard? Henry?
I can't imagine.
Every day I'm there,
it just amazes me.
He's lucky
to have you.
I second that.
Thank you.
I wanted to ask--
Now don't take this
the wrong way, darling--
I wanted to make sure
That...things
are under control,
That you're ok.
Well, considering,
I'm perfect.
I really do think
everything's going to be ok.
It may take some time
to get back to normal,
But it's going to happen.
I mean financially.
Oh.
I hate to leave you
with the bill,
But you'd be paying,
anyway, right?
Got to get to court.
Good to see you, sarah.
Thank you.
I know this is awkward.
Some things we just
don't talk about,
But you and henry are family.
You know that.
Are you all right?
Because if you
need help--Anything,
I'm prepared to--
We're in
wonderful shape.
No problems.
Really. Thank you.
You're so sweet
to offer.
I knew I could
count on henry.
All right,
my man.
You know
what this is?
It's called
a walker.
Walker.
Yeah,
but that's bullshit,
'Cause you're doing
all the walking.
Now, let's see
If we can get you
standing up, huh?
Scoot up
a little bit.
Good. Ok.
Sit tall.
Sit tall.
Now lean towards me.
I want you
To push up with your
arms and your legs.
Push up, push up.
Very good.
I got you. Don't
worry about it.
Good. Very good.
How's that feel?
I don't know.
That upper body work's
ready to pay off.
Put your right hand
on the walker.
Good. Good.
Ok.
I got you.
You're doing
real good, hank.
Doing real good.
Ok, the first thing
I want you to do
Is slide that walker
forward, ok?
Now slide your left
leg and bend it.
Slide the left leg
and bend it.
Good. Now stand tall.
Straight.
Step.
Good job, hank.
Good job.
Now, slide...
Bend and slide
your left leg.
Stand tall...
And...step.
Good job.
Push the walker
forward.
Bend...and slide.
Stand tall.
Step.
You're
doing it, man.
Go ahead--
Push it forward.
Left. Left--
Bend, slide,
stand up straight.
Step.
There you go.
You're stepping
like a natural man.
Put that left leg
forward.
Put it forward.
Step! Where's
my video camera?
We ought to be
videotaping
This
beautiful moment.
Bend that left leg.
Slide it forward.
Step!
There you go, hank.
You're doing it,
man. Go ahead.
Bend that leg.
Slide it forward.
So my brother
gets home, right,
Goes
into his bedroom.
There's his wife
doin' another man.
The bitch
was cheating.
Uh, che-Cheating?
Doing the serious
with another man.
Sleeping
with another guy.
Oh, no.
Oh, yeah.
And she
just looks up,
And all she says
is, "oops."
Well, so--
So, then what?
Loretta.
Hi.
Looking hot.
She's hot.
She's hot.
Yeah, I--I know.
Y-You got to get you
some of that.
Ha ha ha
ha ha ha.
Where you going
looking so pretty?
To get my dad.
He doesn't remember me.
Let's go, sweetie.
Thanks, eddie.
Bye.
Uh, go up the west side
highway, please.
What's up, man?
Hey, man,
what you doing?
Painting.
Crackers.
Looks great.
But you're
not packed.
Why aren't
you packed?
Um...
I'm not going.
Remember what
dr. Marx told you?
Remember when
we talked about this
A couple
of days ago?
Yeah. I--
I changed my mind.
I'm going to stay.
Your wife
and daughter
Are coming
to pick you up.
You're going home.
But...
I live here.
No, man.
This is a pit stop.
I hear you got
a beautiful place.
But...you're not
going to be there.
No.
No. I got to
hang here,
But you got
your family.
But...
I--I--
I don't know them.
I don't.
They love you.
They're going to
take care of you.
Well, I don't want them
to take care of me, bradley!
I don't!
No. Stop it!
Hank, listen.
Leave me alone,
bradley.
Hank, you're going
to be fine.
You got to
go back sometime.
I just...
I just
c-Can't remember.
I don't know
those people.
I'll be right outside.
Hi, sarah.
Hi.
How you
doing, hon?
Fine.
Hi, henry.
Hi, dad.
Hi.
We think it's time
you come home.
Yeah. Uh, he told me.
Bradley told me.
Is that ok?
Do you want
to come home?
What about bradley?
Bradley can take
care of himself,
And you've got us...
And we're
going to help you
In every way we can.
You've got a life
back at home,
A life with
friends and family
And everything
you could ever want.
All you have to do
Is say you want
to come home,
That's all.
It's easy.
I don't want to.
We already
discussed this.
I think it may
be premature
For henry
to go home.
I think he should
want to first.
I just want what's best.
Hi.
I'm bradley.
He's not mad at you.
Hey...
Why don't you go
and talk to him?
Big loop...
Little loop,
Cross over,
Pull through.
H-How did you learn
to do that?
You taught me.
There was gray carpet.
I remember gray carpet.
Where was that?
That was home.
I remember gray carpet.
I want to go home.
Ok, honey?
Come on, rachel.
Henry?
Come on.
A walkman...
For a walking
man.
Wow.
When you get home,
You listen to this
And think of your
friend bradley.
Am I going to see you?
Yeah.
Promise?
Hell, yeah,
I promise.
Ok. Bye.
Thanks.
Hey...
it's what I do.
High five.
Bye.
Bye.
Hi, eddie.
Hi, rach.
Hi, eddie.
Hi, eddie.
Good to see you,
mr. Turner.
Wow.
This is home.
Wow.
I remember
the smell.
I don't smell
anything.
Nice table.
Henry?
Yeah?
Are you coming
to bed?
I'm going to sleep there?
Yeah.
This is
your side.
Ok.
I remember your hair.
Everything's
going to be ok.
Everything.
You look good,
mr. Henry.
Real good.
Your face
and everything.
Thanks.
No eggs.
No, I don't like eggs.
What?
Eggs are
your favorite.
Ok. Give me
a lot of eggs.
This is
wonderful,
All of us
together again.
We never used to eat
breakfast together.
I always
wished we had.
Oh! I'm sorry.
That's ok.
I do that
all the time.
You do?
Yeah.
See?
Henry...
I'll be back
in 20 minutes.
If you need anything,
just ask rosella.
Ok.
The one with the eggs.
That's right.
Ready.
Ok.
Be back soon.
Bye.
Bye.
Did you get
your books?
Yeah.
I'm taking rachel
to school.
Keep an eye on him?
Is mr. Henry ok?
Yes.
He's fine.
Come on, honey.
You ok?
Yeah.
You need anything,
mr. Henry?
No...thank you.
Rosella?
What do I--I do
when I'm home?
You are working
all the time.
I--I work a lot.
You work so hard,
I can't believe it.
Well, what do I do
when I'm not working?
You are
always working.
Welcome home,
mr. Henry.
Thank you.
Just a minute, please.
Hello, mr. Turner.
Hi.
Hello,
mr. Turner.
Hi.
Here you are.
Thank you.
Bye-Bye now.
Thanks.
Hi, eddie.
Good morning,
mr. Turner.
I'm going to
take a walk now.
Have a good
time, sir.
What are you,
a goddamn retard?
Get the hell
out of the street!
Where's henry?
In your room, I think.
Henry, where are you?
Howdy.
Hi.
Hungry?
Yeah.
That's what I like to hear.
Mustard and kraut?
Kraut?
Where is he?
Hello.
It's henry.
Check it out.
Check it out.
Ohh! Oh...
Ohh...
Ohh! Oh...
Oh...
He was wearing a blue shirt
and khaki pants.
Listen,
you're the fifth person
To ask me these questions.
I just want to find
my husband.
I'll wait here.
I won't be long,
sweetheart.
I've just got to go look.
Henry!
Where were you?
I bought a dog.
Mom, look.
A puppy. Look!
Wow.
You really
missed me, huh?
Can we call him buddy?
That's jennifer's dog,
but he's really ugly.
Buddy.
Yeah.
Is that ok?
Yeah. Buddy's fine.
Hi, buddy.
Just let me know before
you go out next time, ok?
Ok.
Excuse me.
Why is she so mad?
If you're
going to be late,
You have to call her.
Oh.
Ok.
Some of them you can
borrow and take home,
But some of them
you have to read here.
And you can't
talk loud.
Right.
Dad...
Stop it.
Dad...
I'm serious.
I know.
Very.
Dad...
Read your book.
I can't.
I'm sorry.
A...
Ah.
Ah...
Ah...
Ah..Rrr...
Arrr...eee.
Arrreee.
The "e" is silent.
See, it's just "r."
Now, miss petesky
always made us repeat it
Over and over.
But I won't
make you do that.
This next one's easy.
Y...
Yuh.
Yuh...
Yo...
Yo...
Ooh...
Yo-Yooh.
Yo-Ooh.
Yo?
You?
You.
You.
"Are you."
See? The letters
make up words,
And the words
make up sentences.
This is
a little one.
Mmm. Mmm.
Mmm.
Mmm...wa-Wa.
Mmm...y.
Mmm...ah...mmm...
My.
My?
My.
"Are you my..."
"Are you my..."
Ok. One more.

You did it.
"Are you my mother?"
I--Ha ha ha!
I can read.
Sarah, rosella,
I can read.
He can read!
I can read.
A...ja...
A-Ajax.
This is ajax.
Yes, it is.
Ha ha!
I can read.
I can read.
What happened?
She taught me
how to read!
This is ajax.
That's great!
I can read.
Bruce!
Uh, the door was unlocked.
I knocked, but...
I can read.
Hi, henry.
Christ,
I can't tell you
what a shock it was.
I mean, uh...
One minute, you're
at the restaurant,
The next...you know.
And the newspapers--
They never stopped
calling the office.
Charlie was, uh,
out of his mind.
Linda...
Uh, everybody...
Henry.
If they'd found
that son of a bitch,
I'd have brought
the death penalty
Back to new york
single-Handedly.
Anyway...
So, uh,
here we are, huh?
And, uh...
We got the big party
coming up.
I'm looking
forward to that.
And, uh...i know
charlie is, too.
Were we really good
friends...
Bruce?
Uh, yeah.
Oh, of course.
You know,
we're, uh...
Partners.
Hmm.
Well, aren't you
going to open it?
Oh, yeah.
Uh...
It's a...
It's a frame.
It's--It's just
a little frame.
Ok.
Thanks.
"What am I going
to do with him?"
Henry's dad said.
"I've grounded him, but
I don't know what to do."
I said, "are you kidding?
I want that boy
in the firm."
And as it turned out,
it was the best decision
I ever made.
For years,
the halls of our firm
Have resounded with
the call of henry turner,
Throwing on his jacket,
striding through the office,
Crying, "come on, guys,
Let's go out
and break some balls."
I offer a toast
to the years to come,
When once more, we will hear
that familiar cry.
To henry.
S-S-Sarah...
S-S-Said I
should say something.
Uh, I don't remember
any of you.
I don't really remember...
Very much of--Of anything.
Um...
Uh, it's all mixed up.
Um...
Like, I remember...
Um...
That rachel
likes strawberries
On her pancakes,
But I don't...
Remember...
Any of her birthday parties,
Although I saw pictures,
and I was there.
Um...
I...
I remem-Remember
a woman in a blue dress
Standing on grass.
Uh...
Um...
I think that's my mother,
But I don't know
if it's my mother.
Um...
So if you'll
just be patient,
I'll--I'm...
I'm trying.
Here's another one of me
as a baby.
W-Who's this?
You.
Your father used
to make you mow the lawn
And take out the garbage
and walk the dog
And wash the car,
And then you learned
to appreciate the work ethic.
What's that?
I don't know.
Bike.
Hi, henry.
Hi.
Hi.
Hello.
Good to see you.
Oh, thank you. Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
Hello.
Hi.
It's great
to see you back.
Thank you.
Hi.
Hello.
Hi.
Welcome back,
mr. Turner.
Oh, thank you.
Henry, hello. I'm rudy.
Ru-Dy.
I just want to say hello
and welcome back.
What's wrong with him?
He's an asshole.
Oh.
Henry.
Hi.
It's linda.
Hi, linda.
It's good to see you
back at the office.
It's good
to see you, too...
Linda.
This is your office.
And this is...
Jessica.
Jessica. She was
your secretary,
And she was working
for steven
While you were away.
Nice flower.
Thank you.
Wow.
I'm at the end of the hall
if you need anything.
Ok. Well,
I'll be in here
If you need anything.
Let's grab lunch
this week.
Ok.
He's back.
Grab lunch.
Grab lunch.
Grab lunch.
"Matthews...
V. East shore
h-H-Hospital."
Say when.
When you've had enough,
mr. Turner,
You say, "when."
Oh. When.
You want anything
from the kitchen?
Thanks. I'm ok.
A little milk
and cookies?
Mallomars?
Uh, no. I just--I have
to finish reading this.
You don't remember
mallomars, do you?
No.
Marshmallows in chocolate?
I once watched you
eat a whole package
In 3 1/2 minutes.
Ok. I'll have
some mallomars.
Buddy...
Sit.
So we push for october.
We can go to trial then.
What about lawson?
He's on the barnes case.
How long?
Lawson? Try a decade.
What did he say?
Nothing helpful.
We've got to make a choice.
What?
Do we postpone?
We can't push this
off forever.
Either we get it,
or we don't.
If we lose rogers,
Half a dozen other
clients will follow.
We can't lose his case
because of barnes.
So we go september
with another witness.
We'll pull
a henry turner.
It's really decent of you
To let henry
come back like this.
Well, after all,
we're human, aren't we?
Um, is--Is there
more, um...
On matthews vs.
East shore hospital?
That would be
in the file room.
I'll get the file.
Ok. I'll wait here.
Uh...
You can wait
in your office.
I'll bring it to you.
Ok. I'll wait
in my office.
He's going
to paul weiss?
Montgomery offered him
650 and a partnership.
What would you do?
I'd have to
see the office.
Oh, yeah.
Welcome back,
mr. Turner.
Oh, hi.
I've got this question.
What is it?
Um, uh...
In this case...
Uh, which one?
M-M-Matthews.
East shore
hospital--
Your famous
last case.
Yeah. Yeah. We said
That the hospital
wasn't responsible
Because mr. Matthews
didn't tell them
He was a diabetic.
That was the argument.
The hospital
wasn't responsible
Because they didn't know
the guy was on insulin.
Yeah, but look.
In this file, um...
This other patient,
um, miss macnair,
Uh, said that she heard
mr. Matthews, uh...
Tell the nurse
he was diabetic,
But she didn't
write it down.
Um, so, we're--We're saying
they're not responsible,
But--But we
didn't tell them
About this lady's statement.
So what?
Come on, henry.
Put it away.
Put it back
in the file.
But, so, um...
What we did was wrong.
What we did is paying
for our lunch.
So everything's ok?
Still love me?
Yeah. When are you
coming home?
Uh, I'll be home
by dinner.
Don't spoil
your appetite.
Ok. You, too.
Bye-Bye.
"Mix until...
"Creamy.
"Drop spoonfuls...
"On...
Greas-Ed cookie sheet."
Let's make
one big cookie.
You can't.
It doesn't cook.
I tried it once.
Oh.
Were you scared
at the hospital?
At first.
Yeah.
But then it got ok,
right?
Yeah. Then it got ok.
'Cause I start
school soon.
Sleep-Away.
What--What
do you mean?
I'm going away.
Well...
Well, no--
No one, uh, told me.
Are you scared?
Do you still
want me to go?
Me? No. I, uh...
No, I--I--No.
'Cause I could--I could
go to school around here.
Well, I don't want you
to go anywhere, but...
I'm not sure
it's up to me.
Is it up to me?
Well, look, I'll--
I'll talk to mom, ok?
Ok.
Ok.
Maybe she
could stay home
And go to school
s-Somewhere around here.
It's what we agreed on.
That school only
takes 30 kids a year,
And rachel's
one of them.
There's got to be
A few things
that we decided
That I can count on.
It's a great
opportunity for her...
And for us.
I think it's important.
I...
I saw a house today,
A place I think would
be much better for us.
It's so big here,
don't you think?
I found someone
Who wants
to buy this apartment.
I want to show you
this house.
You think
we should move?
I do.
And you think rachel
should go away to school?
Yeah.
Ok.
Oh...
Hi, rachel.
Hi, Jennifer.
Sweetheart, this
is a wonderful school.
You see? You already
have a friend here.
I hate
Jennifer lerner.
You're going
to meet
All sorts
of very nice girls.
I don't think so.
Of course you are.
Honey...
One--One of the things
I do remember...
Is--Is my first day
at school.
There were all these
weird-Looking kids,
And I didn't know
any of them,
And they didn't know me.
I was--I was scared...
But after two days,
We were all laughing
about how scared we were.
Everybody feels
like you do, honey.
Everybody.
Take care of buddy.
I will.
Try and teach him
how to sit, ok?
Ok.
Well, come on.
You don't want to
miss orientation.
Henry, that's great.
I didn't know you
remembered your school.
I don't.
Hey...
How you doing?
I miss her.
Me, too.
We'll see her
on parents' day.
Look...
There's cassiopeia.
And...
There's the big dripper.
And the little dripper.
So strange
the things I remember.
Is this ok?
Yeah.
Ever since
you've come home...
We haven't
made love.
I mean, if you're
nervous or something...
We can
talk about it.
Well, yeah,
I'm a little nervous.
Um, oh, ok.
W-Well, r-R-R...
Really nervous.
Very nervous.
Why?
Well, I don't...
I don't know. I...
Uh, look, I s--
I saw this movie,
and, um...
I don't know if I can do it
like that guy did it.
Yeah.
Touch me.
Sarah?
Hmm?
Tell me how we met.
Uh...
It was at chris lonner's
birthday party.
You were
a hot, young lawyer,
And I was
answering phones
At harper's bazaar.
I was standing
in the doorway,
Smoking a cigarette,
Back when
I used to smoke...
And you just
came up to me.
"I'm henry,"
you said,
"And you're
beautiful."
I did?
That made me completely
self-Conscious.
You had such confidence,
You just drew me in.
We talked for hours...
Ignored everyone.
And then the girl
you were with got mad
And wanted to go.
And as you left,
you handed me your card
And said, "have you
ever eaten blowfish?
'Cause I know this
great blowfish place."
You made me laugh.
And I went home
and told my roommate
I met the man
I was going to marry.
I like it.
The glass table
in the living room,
Next to the couch.
We can keep the dining
room table, right?
Right. Right.
What?
Does this
bother you?
No.
Then why are you
looking at me like that?
Because you never
used to hold my hand.
Oh.
You didn't like showing
affection in public.
It bothered you.
Why?
I don't know why.
You don't know why?
No.
Me, either.
What are you doing?
Come up here.
Henry, what?
Come here.
I don't mind
so much anymore.
Sarah?
Phyllis, hi.
Hi.
I thou--
I thought that was you.
Hello, henry.
Hi.
This is phyllis
and daniel.
They were at
charlie's party.
Hello, phyllis
and daniel.
Henry.
Well, um, I was
going to call you.
I'm having a housewarming
on the 20th.
I'd love it
if you'd come.
Ok.
Ok, thanks.
All right, then.
Uh, we'll talk.
It's good to see you.
I'll call you.
Big kiss.
Ok.
Jessica, I'd like
to see the file
On stevenson vs. Murray.
I'm sorry,
mr. Turner,
I can't.
How come?
I'm not allowed
to give you
Any more of your
old case files.
No one can believe
what you've done.
I just moved in
everything that I love.
It's amazing.
I don't want to see swatches
for six months.
It looks like you've
lived here forever.
It's just all
my old favorite things.
It's the nicest house
you've ever had.
I agree. I feel
like I'm home.
Hi.
Hello, darling.
How's henry?
He's fine.
He's here.
Marvelous.
Seven brothers
and sisters, huh?
That's right.
Is it really hot
in memphis?
Very hot.
Hey, how you doing?
These little ones
are really good,
But that lady there
in the gold dress
Thinks
they're a disaster.
And that woman
near the window...
Mm-Hmm?
Just had
her face done.
Not her neck.
Just her eyes.
And that other man
used to be her husband.
Says, "who
is she kidding?
The damage
is done."
It's such a shame.
He was so good.
Henry represented my cousin
three years ago.
He was the best.
Everybody
was terrified of him.
Of course,
I've known sarah forever.
He's back
at work.
Doing what?
Getting paid
for doing nothing
Doesn't sound
so bad.
It's not henry
I feel sorry for.
It's sarah.
She's got
two kids now.
What can she possibly
look forward to?
One minute,
you're an attorney.
The next,
you're an imbecile.
That's not
a very long trip.
Phyllis...
I am afraid we, uh...
we can't stay for dinner.
I wanted
to say good night.
Thank you.
Shit.
You can't
let them hurt you,
Those people.
They don't
know you anymore.
Darling...
I'm not going
to work today.
Sit.
Henry, I invited
someone over.
Bradley.
Oh, dinner.
Thanks.
So, what's up?
I thought I could
go back to my life,
But...i don't like
who I was, bradley.
I--I don't fit in.
I got bad knees.
What?
My knees,
they're bad.
Ask me why.
Why?
Football.
Wrecked them both
Playing
college football.
Man, it was my life.
Football--
What else was there?
Not jack shit.
Homecoming, right?
That son of a bitch
threw a perfect spiral,
And I caught it.
Boom.
Right out
of the sky.
I had the moment.
When that
safety hit me
And I felt
my knees pop,
I knew that was it.
Game over.
Forget it.
I was dead.
My life was over,
hank.
Now ask me if I mind
having bad knees.
Do you mind--
No.
No way.
It was a test.
I had
to find a life.
The therapist that
helped me walk again,
He was so cool.
I thought...
"That's what
I want to do."
When I told some
of my buddies,
They laughed
in my face.
Called me a nurse,
Bought me white
dresses and shit.
But check it out.
You're walking.
You're talking.
You're sitting here
Drinking some pretty
expensive beer.
I had something
to do with that.
If it weren't
for my knees,
I'd never
have met you.
So, no,
I don't mind having
bad knees. No.
Let me tell you
something, hank.
Don't listen
to nobody
Trying to tell you
who you are.
It might
take a while,
But you'll
figure yourself out.
Thanks.
Hah.
It would be
a great story
If we'd
won the game.
Yeah, hi. This is
rachel turner's father.
I want to talk
to rachel, please.
Well, I'm not sure
it's an emergency,
But I just got this
letter from her,
And she's...
"Miserable."
Yeah, but, um...
She just
sounds so sad.
I just thought
I could--
I don't know,
Cheer her up
A little
or something.
Yeah, I see.
Uh-Huh.
Ok, yeah.
I'll call back,
um, after 6:00.
Thank you.
This is for you,
mr. Henry.
Oh.
Thanks.
I going to miss you,
mr. Henry.
I like you
much better now.
"Enjoy your new home.
"Your friend and partner,
Bruce."
"Sarah...
I need you...now."
"I feel you...
against me."
"Call me tonight."
"Bruce."
Henry, you back here?
We closed.
It's ours.
The house
is officially ours.
Oh, god.
Oh, my god.
Henry.
It happened before?
Oh, god, please.
Before I was shot?
You slept
with bruce before?
It didn't last.
He kept
writing to me,
But it didn't last.
Everything
was different.
You were different.
I don't remember
what I was like, sarah!
Listen to me.
Don't walk away!
We were miserable.
You don't remember,
but I do.
I was lonely.
We were in love once,
years ago.
And then we weren't,
not for a long time.
But we're better now.
Please don't walk away...
Not now.
Well, I would
like to.
Could you do that?
You could?
I think that would
be perfect.
Wait a minute.
I'll call you back.
Please.
Please.
Talk to me.
Ahem.
I followed you.
Bruce doesn't know
I'm here.
Uh, look, I don't have
anything to say.
I think
we should talk.
Well, I don't.
Bruce was right.
You were different.
You shouldn't take it
all out on him.
He's been
a good friend to you.
Bruce took over
your cases.
He took care
of things.
He sure did.
Bruce is so humiliated.
He's humiliated.
Look, linda,
I know bruce is
a friend of yours,
And I know that
you mean well,
But this is not
a good time for me.
Henry, this isn't
any fun for me, either.
What are you
talking about?
I'm talking about us.
You're not the only one
who lost in this.
I lost, too.
I lost the one man
I ever loved,
And it was you, henry.
It's hard to see you
every day in the office,
And you don't know me.
This was our hotel.
Every tuesday and thursday
at the ritz.
Ritz.
You were going
to leave sarah for me,
And now it's gone.
No.
It's all gone.
He-Henry.
No.
Mrs. Matthews?
May I help--
What are you
doing here?
You remember me.
We remember you,
mr. Turner.
I came to apologize.
Are you kidding me?
No.
I'm serious.
Um...
Just give that
to your lawyer.
What's this?
Your husband did
tell the nurse
That he was diabetic.
It-It's all in there.
I-I'm sorry.
Why?
I changed.
I guess.
Good-Bye.
Hi, anne.
Mr. Turner,
he's in a meeting.
It's ok.
Got to go.
Jesus christ.
Excuse me.
Charlie, I just
came to say...
Good-Bye.
Fine, henry.
See you tomorrow.
Um, no, charlie. I...
I can't be a lawyer
anymore.
Thank you.
You've been
really good to me.
Uh...
Just wait.
We'll talk
about this.
No, I can't wait.
Good-Bye.
Well...good luck.
Mr. Cameron.
I have the matthews' lawyer
on line three.
Good luck to you,
too, charlie.
Good-Bye, jessica.
Mr. Turner,
what happened?
Well...
I had enough,
so I said "when."
Good for you.
Good-Bye.
Good-Bye, linda.
I know this great
blowfish place.
Henry...
I'm sorry.
No. I'm sorry.
You were right.
Things
were different.
Oh, henry.
There's something
I need to tell you.
What is it?
I don't
like my clothes.
Maybe they used
to be my favorites,
But I don't
feel comfortable
In them anymore.
We'll get you
new clothes.
I'm not done.
Eggs.
I don't like eggs...
Or steak.
And, sarah...
I hate being a lawyer.
I quit.
I told charlie good-Bye.
Oh...
Whatever you want
is fine.
I want us
to be a family...
For as long
as we can, sarah.
For as long as we can.
I love you.
Oh, I love you, too.
I did like
those mallomars, though.
You're all learning
what that means
When you ask yourself,
"Why do I push myself?
"Why do I strive
to be a harder worker?
A better listener?"
Well, look around you.
There are the answers
to those questions.
Competition.
Everyone
close your eyes.
Repeat to yourself
silently,
"I will...
Work harder."
"I will
listen better."
Buddy.
It's her dad!
Hi, honey.
You taught buddy
to sit?
Uh, mr. Turner,
We're in the middle
of a session.
I know.
I'm sorry
to interrupt.
I missed her first
11 years, and...
And I don't want
to miss any more.
It's good to see you
doing so well, mr. Turner.
Thank you.
E-Excuse us.
Let's go home.
Hi, honey.
What?
Smell the grass.
Buddy,
come on!
We all voted
against it.
