We learn a little more about Jennie's physical disabilities, which she successfully hides from others — except Max, who sees her increasingly problematic health clearly. His love for her is clear and undiminished.
MAX: I'm sorry to put in a sour note: About Mama's health, but it's a fact, a fact we have to deal with that. There's no sense writing away, like the boy that writes away, they speak and they send, and he doesn't see nothing, thinking that nothing exists. But Mama's [hand] is not getting better. And it's not a thing that you can play around with, but as long as we have doctors, and as long as we have a little Medicare, although the Medicare is in a way a little disappointing, so we'll have to do something about it.
Besides her other troubles, which maybe there is a cure, maybe not... Otherwise she looks like a million dollars, and since you inquired about the jacket, so I can add that the jacket makes her look like two million dollars.
So I don't have to tell you that your mother, in addition to her born beauty, when dressed up nicely, she made a hit among all the women. If she would only feel as good as she looks, we'd have nothing to worry about. So that's how much we can talk about this here business.
