What Happened At the Dinner Table!!???
Okay, I have been reading over the posts on here, and its like a lot of people are having troubles understanding why everyone acted the way they did.
1. Claire Danes asks what race of baby they would like in a casual easy way. They reply easily back with her, they all love her (as mad obvious by her arrival at the home)
2. SJP seeing how her sister asked such a question and getting along so easily feels a little unnerved and so asks her own slightly inappropriate questions (i say slightly cuz im gay, and i sure as heck wasnt offended. its a real question). although slightly more offensive in the way she asked (nature VS. nuture, and while staying nuetral on the subject she basically told the gays that they were not nature or therefore unnatural or unnormal)
4. both the gay brother and the husband are offended by her questions (why they were offended ill never know. im gay, i didnt find it offense, i found it engaging, but whatever!)
3. Diane Keaton steps in saying she wishes all her sons were gay, to draw attention and embarrassment away from her gay son and his partner. why they were feeling so low and embarrassed is beyond me, but thats why she said what she said.
4. other family members realize what she is doing and step in trying to make him feel better too. it starts to work he cheers up.
5. SJP, who is obviously socially inept (ya like that person who doesnt know saying certain things out loud isnt good, like a person who is horrible at social situations and says the stupidest things) doesnt understand what the mother and all the other family members are doing, and instead actually thinks diane keaton was being serious. a normal person would have caught on and changed the subject. they were giving her a chance to change topics. SJP is mind bottled thinking that Diane Keaton was serious about wishing all her sons gay and speaks her mind. about how can any person wish for a harder life. and thats what it is, theres more adversity to grow up with and its true id know. (she says she doesnt mean to be rude but... )
6. than dermont mulroney who is sick of her social failures finally says say what you mean to say! frustrated that she cant understand small social clues like trying to spare his brother, or to let her uncomfortable question slide.
7. The Dad -Craig Nelson- than starts saying enough, he has had it with SJP asking awkward questions, and sorry that his gay son is embarrassed. he simply wants this conversation to end.
8. SJP agian she is baaaddd with social cluing and keeps on rolling... ive met people like her before, they ask in appropriate questions, dont know when to stop talking, ask weird questions, etc .
that was my take on everything that went down. and i think this was further proven by diane keaton throwing a knife at her son who is clearly sitting there thinking about how even at home he isnt thought of as being normal, and gives him a pep talk
