I'm bored.

I'm bored!

Daddy, I'm really bored.

I'm bored!

I'm bored.

I'm bored.

I... am...

bored!

Listen, Daddy!

Ahh!

I'm bored!

I am bored!

I am bored, I am bored, I'm bored, I'm bored!

I'm bored, I'm bored.

Bored.

I'm bored.

Why don't you answer me?

Because "I'm bored" is a useless thing to say.

I mean, you live in a great, big, vast world

that you've seen none percent of.

And even the inside of your own mind is endless.

It goes on forever, inwardly.

Do you understand?

Being the fact that you're alive is amazing,

so you don't get to be bored.

When you say, "I'm bored"...

Can we play an in-the-car game?

What game do you wanna play?

One person thinks of an animal

and the other one asks questions.

Okay, all right, think of an animal.

No, you think of one first.

Okay, I got one.

What is it?

What's what? What's the animal?

Well, you're supposed to-- you're supposed to

ask questions and then guess.

No, just tell me.

Okay, it's an elephant.

That was good.

Daddy, where are we going?

Pennsylvania.

Why?

I told you, we're going to see your great-aunt Ellen.

But we don't even know her.

That's why we're going to see her.

She's 97, but she may not be around much longer.

Why?

Where will she go?

He means she's gonna die.

No... Lilly, please don't.

How do you know she's gonna die?

Everybody dies, Jane.

We...

How do you know?

I didn't die. Okay, girls, the reason we're going--

Hey, hey, excuse me.

But people-- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Listen.

The reason we're going to see your great-aunt Ellen

is because she's very old.

She was born in 19-- in the 1910s.

She... was around when people went around

in horses and buggies

and the streets were lit by gas lamps,

like little candles. Really?

And you don't know what that time was like

and you can find out, if you talk to her

and learn from her.

This is a great opportunity because, y'know,

you're gonna learn history in school,

but there's nothing like having somebody in your life

who can give you that connection

to another generation.

Do you love Aunt Ellen?

She sends me a birthday card every year, my whole life,

and this last year when I got the card

I wrote back to her and I said, "Can we visit you ?"

And she wrote back and said yes

and then we made plans by mail.

It took three months

because she doesn't have e-mail.

She doesn't even have a phone.

Really?

Wow!

Now I wanna meet her.

Me too.

Oh, yeah!

Look at the goose.

Look at the goose, look at the goose.

Look at the goose.

Whoa.

Where?

Oh, let me see.

I'm bored!

I... am... bored!

This is her house?

Yeah.

You look sad.

Yeah, well...

Listen, girls, Aunt Ellen is very old

and I don't know if she can hear well

or what her...

Just whatever happens, I just need you to roll with it.

Just don't worry about it.

Let's go.

Daddy, do we have an umbrella?

No, just run, come on.

Where is she?

Is she dead?

Lilly.

Hello.

Aunt Ellen?

Hello.

Holy shit.

What's the matter, Daddy? Nothing.

Hi, hi.

Can you come to the door?

Come to-- Yeah, that'll be great if you come to the door.

Daddy...

Stay here.

Hi. Hello.

Hello, Aunt Ellen.

Aunt Ellen, I... do you remember we were gonna visit?

Oh, yes, I do remember, yes.

Great, well, it's good-- it's nice to see you.

Oh, thank you.

This is Jane and Lilly, this is my daughters.

Oh... how--

They're-- What nice children.

Very nice. Yeah.

Where-- where-- where's your wife?

We're divorced, Ellen.

Oh, divorced, oh...

Can we come in?

Of course, come in, come in. Great, okay.

Come in. Thank you, okay.

We're going to have a nice visit.

Aren't we? Yeah.

I guess, uh, I guess the last time I saw you

I was about 14.

Yes, well... yeah.

Daddy, I'm thirsty.

Oh, can I get her a glass of water?

Of course.

Kitchen's right through there. Okay, thank you.

Yes.

Well, sit down, girls.

Let's have a seat.

Okay.

Oh.

I'm sorry I don't have a lot to offer. you.

I don't keep my food, y'know, I...

When you're just...

Oh, would you like to have a nigger toe, huh?

Why do you--

No, thank you very much.

We ate on the road. I see.

So it's-- How are you?

Oh, I don't know.
