01:02Hey!
01:04The summer my grandmother was supposed to die.
01:06Or as my mother said,
01:08pass away.
01:10We didn't leave the city.
01:12The only thing
01:14was to stay at home
01:16and wait for it to happen.
01:22It was a hot summer.
01:24The bedroom was just behind the kitchen.
01:26And when we sat down to eat,
01:28you could smell her.
01:32According to her,
01:34according to Dr. Katzmann,
01:36any day might be her last in this world.
01:42It's in the hands of the Almighty.
01:52Won't be long now, my father said.
01:54And she'll be better off,
01:56if you know what I mean.
01:58God in Heaven.
02:00What's she holding on for?
02:06A nurse came every day
02:08from the Royal Victorian Order.
02:10She arrived punctually at noon.
02:12And at 5 to 12,
02:14I joined the rest of the boys
02:16under the outside staircase
02:18to peek up her dress
02:20as she climbed to our second story flat.
02:22Before your grandma kicks off,
02:24she's gonna roll her eyes and gurgle.
02:26That's what they call the death rattle.
02:28Why, you know everything, Pugs.
02:30I read it, you jerk,
02:32in Perry Mason.
02:34After she dies,
02:36her hair will go on growing
02:38for another 24 hours.
02:40Says who?
02:42Doody Kravitz.
02:44Will come from New York for the funeral?
02:46I suppose so.
02:48Boy, that means another fiver for me.
02:50Even more for you.
02:52You shouldn't say things like that
02:54or her ghost will come back to haunt you.
03:02Her bedroom had actually been promised to me
03:04for my seventh birthday.
03:06But now I had to go on sharing a room
03:08with my sister.
03:09So naturally I was resentful
03:11when each morning before I left for school
03:13my mother insisted that I go in
03:15and kiss my grandmother goodbye.
03:21Boy, yo.
03:23Boy, yo.
03:24Was the only sound
03:25my grandmother could make.
03:29I wondered if she knew
03:31I was waiting for her room.
03:33After two years
03:35I protested to my mother.
03:37What's the use of telling her
03:39I'm going here or I'm going there?
03:41She doesn't even recognize me anymore.
03:43Don't be fresh.
03:45She's your grandmother.
03:47You're a mess.
03:49I'm telling her.
03:50I'm not living.
03:51What'd I do?
03:52I do.
03:53I'm and I'm telling her.
03:54My grandmother is lying.
03:55Another lady.
03:56I'm telling her.
03:57I'm telling her.
03:58Inevitably, there came the morning my mother just couldn't get out of bed.
04:28Dr. Katzman led my father into the kitchen.
04:32Your wife's got a gallstone condition.
04:37My grandmother's children met and decided to put the old lady in the Jewish old people's home on Esbonade Street.
04:45While my mother slept, an ambulance came to take my grandmother away.
04:54It's for the best, Dr. Katzman said.
04:57Easy does it, Granny.
05:02When my mother got out of bed two weeks later, my grandmother's name was seldom mentioned.
05:08Until one evening, after I had a fight with my sister, I said,
05:13Why can't I move into the back bedroom now?
05:17My father glared at me.
05:19Big mouth.
05:23The next afternoon, my mother put on her best dress and coat and new spring hat.
05:29Don't go looking for trouble.
05:31Did you think I was never going to visit her?
05:33I'm not inhuman, you know.
05:35I was born lucky and that's it.
05:50I was born lucky and that's it.
05:54Come with my sister.
05:56He met him.
05:58I was born lucky and put on her.
06:00I didn't want to go out of bed anymore.
06:05Stop saying.
06:06Stopowing.
06:08I knew it, and I was born with all the luck.
06:38It was on a Friday afternoon that I came home to find the crowd gathered in front of our house.
06:58That's the guy's son, after so many years.
07:04And probably next year they just covered a cure. Isn't that always the case?
07:10I saw her doctor.
07:18Your grandmother's dead.
07:20Where's Ma?
07:22You're in the bedroom, but you better not go in.
07:25I want to see her.
07:30Don't come in here.
07:32Your grandmother's dead.
07:34Daddy told me.
07:36Go, wash your face and comb your hair.
07:38Yeah.
07:39One minute.
07:41The papa left some jewelry.
07:44The necklace is for Rivka, and the ring is for your wife.
07:48Who's getting married?
07:50Monica, all by yourself.
07:55I remember the part of the rich man in the old country.
07:58Very rich man.
08:00You just went to New York?
08:02Rabbi in Boston.
08:04Yeah, could be.
08:06I think he came in and nobody believed it.
08:09My uncle, the rabbi, and Dr. Katzman stepped outside to light cigarettes.
08:13I know exactly how you feel, Dr. Katzman said.
08:18There's been a death in the family.
08:21Your heart is broken, and yet it's a splendid summer day.
08:25A day made for love and laughter, and that must seem very cruel to you.
08:31The rabbi nodded.
08:32He sighed.
08:35It's remarkable that she held out for so long.
08:40It's amazing.
08:42The mysteries of the human heart.
08:45Astonishing.
