Thanks for dinner, Mrs. Camden. Could I help you clear the rest of these dishes?
Oh, no. Relax. We're enjoying your company.
Yeah, it's not often that anybody around here wants to talk about my sermons after church.
I just think that frost poem you quoted was so beautiful.
It was a good choice, wasn't it?
Yeah, I'm surprised you're familiar with the death of the hired man.
Yeah, it's in our English lit book, but I never heard it read out loud before. It was perfect. I mean, the safe choice would have been something like the road not taken.
Exactly. Wouldn't it? You know, when Eric and I first started dating, he wrote some pretty wonderful poetry himself.
I bet it wasn't anything you could read out loud in church, huh, dad?
I wouldn't say that I would.
It was very personal.
Could you quote the frost poem again?
Well, I think people around here have probably had enough eloquence for one day.
That's right. We wouldn't want to have to call the poetry police.
Please, just a line or two?
Go on honey, I thought you were pretty terrific myself.
Please? The line about home.
"Home, he mocked gently. Yes, what else but home? It all depends on what you mean by home. Home is the place where, when you have to go there. They have to take you in."
Excuse me.
Matt, go see about her.
Dad made her cry.
Your mom picked the poem.
I'm going.
What do you think that was about?
I don't know, but she's obviously in a lot of pain.
Should I...
Not yet.
[Crying]
Come on. Tell me what's going on.
I'm sorry. I generally try not to burst into tears. Unless I'm alone.
No, that's ok. We're, uh, we're big on emotions around here.
I know it doesn't seem like any big deal, but my parents just got divorced.
I'm--I'm sorry.
You don't know how lucky you are to be part of this family.
Oh, oh, yes, I do... But I'm also lucky that I met you.
