- Refresh me.
You wanted to get closer to Dad.
I still do, but he makes it impossible.
I can't read my book or have any peace in my own home.
So you want to be closer to Dad, but you don't actually want him around.
Ask yourself, have you tried to sit down talk to him? I mean really talk to him? Well, I Maybe I haven't done my best.
I guess I owe that to the old man, don't I? Well Thanks for the chat, Niles.
You're a good brother and a credit to the psychiatric profession.
You're a good brother too.
Daphne, what are my things doing here? My leather chair, my Tisami lamp.
We're putting them in the basement.
There was no room in your study with my furniture in.
- We discussed it last night.
- Of course.
I was going to ask that peculiar man from building services to help me.
Oh, yes.
Kyle.
Give him my regards.
Remind me again.
Which one of Kyle's eyes is really looking at me? The brown one.
Daphne left dinner in the fridge, if you're hungry.
Thanks, but I'm not.
Dad I'm sorry about the blow-up earlier.
Forget about it.
I already have.
There's been a lot of tension between us.
We never have a chance to sit and talk.
I thought we might have a conversation.
Right now? I think now would be a good time.
Later would be better.
It shouldn't be a long conversation.
I'm talking three minutes of your life.
OK, but my programme's coming on.
If it will make you any happier I'll get the egg timer and I'll set it for three minutes.
So what do you want to talk about? The idea is to have a normal, honest conversation without getting on each other's nerves.
Ready? - Go.
- This is stupid.
One second? That's our personal best? Let us see if we can beat it.
Ready? Go.
- How about those Seahawks? - No sports.
- No opera.
- Agreed.
Ready? Go.
This is your idea.
You say something first.
All right.
I'll tell you something about myself that you don't know.
Six months ago, when Lilith and I were really on the rocks there was a time of depression I went through that was so terrible that I actually climbed out on a ledge and wondered if life was worth living.
Then I thought of Frederick.
And you didn't jump, huh? Good, Dad.
Wow, I never knew that.
That's the point of this experiment, to tell each other something we don't know about each other, something vulnerable.
Your turn.
OK.
About two months ago I was going through old pictures of your mother and me.
All of a sudden, something flew up in my eye.
When I was trying to get it out, I realised that I could turn my eyelid inside out, the way kids do at camp.
- That's it? You call that vulnerable? - It hurt! I'm not talking about that kind of pain.
I'm talking about your emotions, your soul.
A painful, gut-wrenching experience.
- Other than this one? - Always a flip answer.
- This whole thing's stupid.
- Not to me.
How should I expect anything out of you? You are the most cold, unapproachable, stubborn, cold man I've ever known.
- You said "cold" twice, Mr Egghead.
- Egghead! Egghead! - You said "egghead" twice too! - You are infuriating! Know what you are? (Timer dings) I'll tell you later.
I don't think you see how serious this is.
Will you give it a rest? We're not getting along and it's not getting any better.
I'm not sure how to say this, but uh I I'm afraid I'm going to have to I know.
You want what's best for both of us.
You want to get me out of here.
We'll each have our own space and can put an end to all this bickering.
Well, yes.
I guess it wasn't so hard to say after all.
- Except for one thing.
I'm not going.
- What? You want us to forge some great father-son relationship, That takes a couple of years, doesn't it? You're the shrink.
- A couple of years? - It'll go by before you know it.
Either that, or it'll seem like eternity.
I'm willing to give it a shot if you are.
- OK.
- How about us having a beer together? Wow! In all these years you've never asked me that.
I'd love to have a beer with you.
- Haul ass.
The store is about to close.
- Right.
# Hey baby, I hear the blues a-calling Tossed salads and scrambled eggs # Mercy! # And maybe I seem a bit confused Well, maybe # But I got you pegged! # But I don't know what to do with those tossed salads and scrambled eggs # They're calling again Good night! #
