Are you all right, Tony?
Can I show you something?
Yes. [Tony hands her old photographs] Is this your mother?
Yes.
Wow, she was beautiful.
Oh. I guess she was.
How come you never talk about her?
I don't?
No. No, you don't.
Hm. Well, I guess she was the first woman to break my heart, and I don't like to talk about things like that.
You don't like to talk about it because you don't want to, maybe it causes you too much pain. So she was the one who took you to the movies, huh?
Yeah. Yeah, we would go to these dollar matinees. We'd make these weekend trips to the city and there was this this theater that she loved over on 42nd Street. It was pretty run down, but she loved movies. I think she loved the escape. This is the last movie we ever saw together, right before she -- The Little Prince.
[smiles softly] "That which is essential is invisible to the eye."
Ziva David, did you just quote a movie?
No. I quoted a book that was made into a movie.
[smiles] Huh.
