A Serious Man2009

Judith Gopnik:
We shouldn't put the kids in the middle of this, Larry.

Larry Gopnik:
The kids aren't...

Judith Gopnik:
I'm saying "we." I'm not pointing fingers.

Larry Gopnik:
No one is playing the "blame game," Larry.

Larry Gopnik:
I didn't say anyone was!

Judith Gopnik:
Well let's not play He said, She said, either.

Larry Gopnik:
I wasn't! I-...

Sy Ableman:
Aw right, well let's just step back, and defuse the situation, I find, sometimes, if I count to ten. [pause] One... two... three... faw... Or silently. [Long pause]

Judith Gopnik:
Really, to keep things on an even keel, especially now, leading up to Danny's bar mitzvah...

Sy Ableman:
A child's bar mitzvah, Larry!

Judith Gopnik:
Sy and I think it's best if you move out of the house.

Larry Gopnik:
Move out?

Sy Ableman:
It makes eminent sense.

Judith Gopnik:
Things can't continue as they...

Larry Gopnik:
Move out! Where would I go?

Sy Ableman:
Well, for instance, the Jolly Roger is quite livable. Not expensive, and the rooms are eminently habitable.

Judith Gopnik:
This would allow you to visit the kids.

Sy Ableman:
There's convenience in its fava. There's a pool...

Larry Gopnik:
Wouldn't it make more sense for you to move in with Sy?

Judith Gopnik:
[Shocked pause] Larry!

Sy Ableman:
Larry, you're jesting!

Judith Gopnik:
Larry, there is much to accomplish before that can happen.

Sy Ableman:
Larry, Larry, Larry. I think, really, the Jolly Roger is the appropriate coss of action. It has a pool.
