I'm sure Simon they did something really "off" in order for you to feel this way but when...

Carol Connelly:
I'm sure Simon they did something really "off" in order for you to feel this way but when it comes to your parents or your kids something will always be "off" unless you set it straight and maybe this thing happened to you so you have a chance to do that
Simon Bishop:
When I was a kid I always painted and my mother always encouraged it , she was very fabulous about it, I was too young to think that there was anything wrong with it, so she used to pose nude for me, I always thought or I assumed my father knew about it, one day he found us and started screaming I was trying to defend my mother and make peace in the lamest way, I said " she's not naked, it's art" and he started hitting me and beat me unconscious, he taught me a lesson he thought I'd never forget, he knew what I was even before I did, the morning I left for college he walked into my room and held out his hand and it was filled with money, a big sweaty wad of money and he said, " take this and I don't want you ever to come back", I grabbed him and hugged him and he turned around and walked out I haven't seen him or talked to him since

I mean, she was really sort of...
She was sort of fabulous about it actually.
And she used to...
You know, I was too young to think
there was anything wrong with it,
and she was... she was very natural.
So she used to pose nude for me.
And I always thought... or I guess I
assumed... that my father knew about it.
This stuff is pointless. Hey!
Let him finish, please.
You like sad stories?
You wanna hear mine? Stop.
Go ahead.
Really, please don't let him stop you.
Um, one day he walked in.
And he found us, and he just...
He started screaming... My father
didn't come out of his room for 11 years.
He used to hit me on the hands with
a yardstick if I made a mistake...
playing the piano.
Huh?
Go ahead, Simon.
So, you said he came in your
room, and he was yelling?
Uh-huh.
Please, come on.
Um, he was, um...
Come on.
Yeah, I know...
He was... I was...
I remember I was defending my mother,
and I was trying to, you know,
make peace in the lamest way.
I said... I said, "She's not naked.
It's art."
[Laughs]
And he started hitting me,
and he... beat me unconscious.
And he talked to me
less and less after that.
I mean, he knew what I was before I did.
And the morning that I left for college,
he walked into my room.
And he held out his hand.
And it was filled with money.
A big... sweaty wad of money.
And he said, "I don't want you
to ever come back."
And I just grabbed him, and I hugged him,
and he turned and walked out.
Hey, we all have these terrible
stories to get over, and you...
That's not true.
Some of us have great stories,
pretty stories, that take place
at lakes with boats...
and friends and noodle salad.
Just no one in this car.
But a lot of people... that's their story.
Good times.
Noodle salad.
What makes it so hard is not that you had
it bad, but that you're that pissed...
that so many others had it good.
- No, I don't think so.
- Not it at all, really.
Not it at all, huh?
Okay.
Let's, uh, go to the hotel, and, uh,
tomorrow you'll see if you can get another
big wad of sweaty money out of his hand.
[Grunts]
[Suitcase Popping] Can I
ask you a personal question?
[Laughing]
Sure.
You ever get an erection over a woman?
Melvin...
I mean, wouldn't your life
be easier if you weren't...
