Memory

I remember...

like yourself, Sylvia, I too came in.

I was broken, I was lost.

And I was hopeless.

Uh, with no direction, uh...

of where I was going to go in my life.

So I-I understood when you shared that day

where you were coming from.

And it brought me back to the beginning of how it was for me.

I remember I passed you

and you were riding your bicycle up a hill.

And 90 days sober.

I remember thinking...

"We all got our struggles.

But we don't need to get loaded over it".

I'm here.

I came.

I made it, I got here.

And, I didn't even know what was gonna be going on.

But I'm happy to see...

Anna.

You're what I wish I could have been.

I don't know how to explain that

except that I wish my mom...

would have been as strong as you, Sylvia.

My dear Sylvia,

being your sponsor has been a gift.

I know you don't want to hear this,

but my wish for you is that you find someone

so you don't be alone like me.

Anna is going to grow up

she's going to go away to make it on her own.

And she will.

- Yeah. -She will.

You and I, we've been together for 13 years.

That's longer than most marriages out there.

Um, I just wanted to thank everyone.

I'm very grateful for this space and for all of you and...

definitely nothing would be possible

with-without this group here.

And I'm very grateful for my daughter.

How do you feel being here?

-Good. - Good?

Is it just what you thought?

-I mean, yeah. - Yeah?

Yeah.

-I'm so proud of you. - Thanks, honey.

Happy anniversary!

I'm so happy for you!

All right, I'm glad you came.

You guys, congratulations, have a good night.

-Dinner later? Dinner later? -Yeah.

You're the only man that stayed.

The fridge broke again.

I'll call someone to fix it.

-I'll see you later, mom. -Yeah, have a good day.

-Thank you, bye. -Bye.

Morning, Karen.

Uh, just so you know, Mario is having a rough morning.

Oh, great! Okay.

-Hey, good morning, everybody. -Good morning.

- Good morning. -Anthony, good morning.

-Come on in. - Morning, Anthony.

Good morning.

-Good morning, Anthony. -Good morning.

What's up?

I like eating...

baloney sandwich.

Mm-hmm, take your time, all right.

And I like eating a-apple sauce.

And I like eating chips.

If you're gonna go outside, you need a jacket.

I know you have two things, but it's very cold, Mario.

Let's put your jacket on.

Let me help... Do you want to do it yourself?

Okay. I'll carry it down.

All right... come on.

Let's go downstairs, you're gonna miss your bus.

Yeah, please.

Anyone want more?

All fit, all done?

-Mm-hmm. -Okay.

Sorry, I'll take this one.

This one's better.

No more.

All right.

Hey, do you mind if I go on my break?

-Of course, take a break. -Okay.

Lucy, wash your hands.

I already did.

-You were playing with Rocca. -She probably did.

Tom wants a picture, can we send him one?

-Sure. -Mark.

-Mark. -What?

-Not now. -It's a picture.

Let's have a nice time.

All right, just wait.

That's enough.

-Mark. -Okay.

Are you staying for dinner?

No.

Thank you, we're gonna eat at home.

Here, take my seat.

Are you going to the, um, the party for Woodbury on Friday?

Mm.

Robert's not going.

I could be your date.

-If you want. -Thank you, sweetie.

I think it would be good for you to go

and spend time with other people.

Who aren't in A.A.

How did the anniversary meeting go?

It was nice.

Yeah, you... Did you have a good time?

-Mm-hmm. -What anniversary?

-I'll tell you about it later. -Yeah.

-What anniversary? -Lucy.

Just eat.

I mean, you don't have to pay me back right away.

It's not Robert's money.

You've become a drug dealer?

No, the students pay me in cash.

Count it, but it should all be there.

No, no, thank you.

-I've been meaning to tell you. -Mm.

Mom keeps asking about you and Anna.

How long is she gonna stay?

What would she go back for?

She wasn't doing well without dad.

Huh, Anna, we gotta leave.

-Sorry, do you have an aspirin? -Mm-hmm.

Yeah?

Hi, ma'am, I, um...

You got a situation with your fridge?

I asked for a repair-woman.

Yeah, uh, she wasn't available today.

So you want me to leave?

No, come up.

Kitchen's in there.

It's leaking.

I see that, all right.

-Oh, no! Rebecca! -

-Oh, my goodness! -Oh, wow!

-Has it been 15 years? -M-more, I was pregnant.

-You were, and you look amazing. -I know, thank you.

-Sylvia. -Hi.

-I haven't seen you in so long. -Nice to see you.

Um, is your sister here?

Oh, she... No!

-She canceled last minute. -She told me she was...

Gonna be... I was looking forward to seeing her.

I'm sorry.

We're gonna have to get her number.

-Yes, yes. -I can't wait to see everybody.

It looks amazing. I'm so happy to be here.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

-You look amazing. -Thank you.

Oh, my goodness!

Oh, my God!

I'm so glad you're here!

-You look amazing! -Oh, no, no!

I didn't tell, I didn't know how to dress.

-You look beautiful! -It's so good to see you.

-Is Bill here? -Oh, I'm so glad!

-He's right over there. -Oh.

What can I get you? We have red, white.

Uh, I'll have a still water. That's it, thanks.

He did both, he taught both, dance and paint.
