He's asleep. It was like this once last summer and again at Christmas. You didn't tell...

Cynthia Marten: He's asleep.
Todd Marten: It was like this once last summer and again at Christmas.
Cynthia Marten: You didn't tell me?
Todd Marten: No.
Cynthia Marten: How could you not tell me?
Todd Marten: I knew it would upset you, and when you're upset, you drink. Things were better enough last Christmas.
Cynthia Marten: Maybe that's because you were off selling your bowls and i was left to do all the work.
Todd Marten: Yeah, well maybe you drank 'cause I wasn't around and maybe I wasn't around because you drank. It all started so long ago, I don't remember.
Cynthia Marten: It started when we had Deena. That's when you bought all this equipment.
Todd Marten: It's when I stopped having a wife.
Cynthia Marten: Oh, you've got such a distorted view of things!
Todd Marten: I remember when she was a little girl, she was the center of everything. She ran this house, and every time she got angry with you... she could be a vicious little girl. You just rolled over and took it. So it was your fault, nothing she ever did was wrong. It was like you needed her to be your friend more then you needed to be her mother.
Cynthia Marten: Maybe I needed her because she was all I had. Maybe you came down here in this basement and worked on these bowls and you weren't there for me!
Todd Marten: I came down to this basement because all you cared about was the kids!
Cynthia Marten: Oh, no, no, you've got it all backwards, that is not how it happened!
Todd Marten: It doesn't matter how it happened, and what matters is that I get out of this basement to start being a father! What matters is that you stop drinking, and be a mother.
Cynthia Marten: Don't you talk to be about being a mother, not when you've spent our entire marriage in this basement working on these, these stupid bowls!
