Meet Joe Black | 1998

~ Dum-da-dum ~ What's this?

Um, Annie made them.

Who's Annie?

Thank you, Lillian. From La Rosette?

She's only the most famous pastry chef in America.

Um, this is orange, made with real Seville oranges.

Oh. And, uh, that's lemon on a mille-feuille crust.

I don't like cake.

It's for the party, Dad.

Ah. The goddamn party.

The goddamn party. Mm-hmm.

Did you hear that? I'm sorry.

The goddamn party. Oh.

Come on, I... Here, let's try this one...

right over here.

Mmm.

This, this is terrific. It has, um,

has vodka in it, Bill.

A little vodka, right?

Has, um, that fruity vodka, that flavored stuff, right?

Bill, put your lips around this. It's just out of this world.

I'm sorry, honey. You know, I'm no good at this.

Why don't you choose whichever cake you'd like?

Hmm? I knew you were gonna say that.

What? I mean you just don't care.

Oh, why am I doing this? I should have my head examined again.

Oh, my God. I am trying to throw the party of the century...

For my father in two days.

And you just don't give a shit. He gives a shit.

He doesn't give a shit! He does.

Allison. He does give a shit. Don't you, Bill?

Come on. Come on.

Come on. Smile. I'm sorry.
