Why did you want to kill yourself?
No, don't answer the question, Frank.
I'm sorry! I don't think it's an appropriate conversation...
- for a seven-year-old. - Well, she's gonna find out anyway.
- Okay. - Go on, Frank.
Why were you unhappy?
Um, well, there are a lot of reasons.
Mainly, though, I fell in love with someone who didn't love me back.
One of my grad students. I was very much in love with him.
Him? It was a boy? You fell in love with a boy?
- Yes, I did. Very much so. - That's silly.
You're right. It was silly. It was very, very silly.
- There's another word for it. - Dad.
So, that's when you tried to kill yourself?
Well, no. The boy that I was in love with
fell in love with another man - Larry Sugarman.
- Who's Larry Sugarman? - Larry Sugarman is, perhaps...
the second most highly regarded Proust scholar in the U.S.
- Who's number one? - That would be me, Rich.
So that's when.
No. What happened was I was a bit upset...
so I said some things that I shouldn't have said...
and I did some things that I shouldn't have done...
and subsequently I was fired from my job...
and forced to move out of my apartment and move into a motel.
- And that's when you tried to- - Well, no.
Actually, all of that was okay.
What happened was two days ago
the MacArthur Foundation, in its infinite wisdom...
awarded a genius grant to Larry Sugarman.
And that's when I-
Decided to check out early.
Yes. Yes. And I failed at that as well.
Olive, the important thing to understand here...
is that Uncle Frank gave up on himself.
He made a series of foolish choices- I'm sorry - and he gave up on himself...
