Video Summary
AI GeneratedA tense family dinner unfolds as Bob and Mary attempt to maintain a facade of harmony. The gathering is marred by Bob's poor laundry skills, the arrival of Mary's abrasive mother, Mrs. Fisher, and a series of sharp verbal exchanges regarding age, caretaking, and mutual resentment.
Bob, where are the children?
They're getting ready.
Hey, kids, dinner's ready!
Bob, we don't shout at the dinner table.
Here they are.
Oh, don't you look.
What's the matter with your clothes?
You did the laundry.
Oh, yes. There must be something wrong with that machine.
Here she is.
Where the hell is the chow line?
Oh, good evening, Mrs. Fisher.
Annie, why don't you get up? I'll get you another chair.
At ease, Gomez.
It's Bob.
Whatever. Why the hell didn't anyone call me for dinner?
Well, we thought that you were having a little nap, Mother.
We didn't want to disturb you.
Nap? I was in the toilet the last half hour.
I have such terrible constipation.
Oh, she's great.
Yeah.
Well, here we all are together having a nice family dinner.
You certainly are.
Pretty fancy, huh, kids?
What is it?
It's potage crème de raisin.
What's that?
It's French for dog puke.
Actually, it's cream of watercress.
Well, it's delicious.
You know, Mrs. Fisher,
I haven't told you what a wonderful daughter you've got.
You did a terrific job in raising her.
You never know it, the way she treats me.
Miss famous writer over there.
You would think a 41-year-old woman
would have learned to appreciate her mother.
You would think that a mother would appreciate
the very expensive nursing home her daughter pays for.
Mary, I thought you were 34.
Ah, she's 41.
I got the birth certificate to prove it.
Don't listen to her.
She's getting senile.
I remember everything.
I remember when you were just a teenager.
I'm not interested in what you remember, so you shut up!
You may clear the first course, Garcia.
