The Fabelmans2022

Mitzi Fabelman:
[after watching Sammy's film of her and Bennie] Bennie and me, we never... we never d - we never let it get as far as I imagine you think.

Sammy Fabelman:
Oh I never imagined any of that.

Mitzi Fabelman:
Do you think dad knows? I don’t mean did you tell him, I know you didn’t. But - do you think he has an inkling?

[Sammy has no answer]

Mitzi Fabelman:
I’ve almost told him so many times. I’ll say “Burt, there’s something I’ve got to tell you,” and, and he looks at me like he can’t conceive that anything could be wrong between us. So instead I say “Burt, we got ants,” or “Burt, could you climb on the roof and turn the antenna so I can watch Channel 5?” Which, of course, he does. [pause] I can’t fight with your father. He kills with such kindness. I’m mean to him, he buys me a dress. From Saks.

Sammy Fabelman:
Mom, when I showed you what I filmed, I never meant for any of this to happen.

Mitzi Fabelman:
[she nods] Guilt is a wasted emotion.

Sammy Fabelman:
What’s gonna happen now?

Mitzi Fabelman:
I’m gonna be your mom. I’m gonna be the girls’ mom. Despite my countless faults, I’m not ruining everything for everyone. I’m gonna not be selfish. Burt Fabelman is the kindest, smartest, wisest, most patient, most decent, most understanding man there is. And I’m gonna stay married to him
