Hello and welcome to The 3:57 by William E. Spear. I am the host of the program and this is our series IT SUITS HER.
Celia and Maxie have connected through a bittersweet moment in their past. Maxie shared a scene from his greatest film triumph and Celia told how the same scene played out with her leaving her parents.

The details of Celia’s final time seeing her parents were told to Maxie: “My dad admitted he and mom were phonies. I packed my bags, got on a train, and moved to the city.”
Her word words hung in the air for Maxie to consider: “How long ago was that?”
“Five years,” she said.
Maxie went on: “Did you tell them you moved to Flemington?”
She shook her head “No.”
Maxie thought the actions were extreme and said so.
Celia spoke of getting tired of them be pretending to be something they weren’t. “I couldn’t listen to them anymore,” she said.
Maxie added that some people have to project a certain image.
“There was never a need impress me,” was her counter.
“They must have had their reasons,” said Maxie.
Celia was having none of his explanations. “How can you defend them?” she demanded.
“I never met your parents. How could I?” was his response.
She pushed back and accused him being sympathetic towards them.
It was Maxie’s turn to push back: “How could I have sympathy for someone I never met?”
“I don’t know,” she said. “But you are very good at it.”
Maxie slapped his forehead into his palm. He took a breath and approached the point from a different angle. “Perhaps,” he said, slowing down. “They thought it was in your best interest.”
Celia resumed her attack: “My best interest was to watch movies, eat popcorn, and laugh.”
Maxie increased his volume: “There’s more to life than watching movies.”
“Said the failed actor,” retaliated Celia.
He was speechless but she was not: “All I ever wanted was to ride our bikes down the shore and get pretzels on the boardwalk.”
“They probably wanted to do but didn’t know how,” he said.
Celia let loose the full intensity of her hurt: “All they had to do was ask!”
