When William, who is a journalist, starts to investigate his father's tales, he begins to understand the man and his penchant for storytelling.

JOSEPHINE: I talked with your father last night.
WILL:
Did you?
A look to say, should I be worried?
JOSEPHINE: You never told me how your parents met.
WILL:
They met at Auburn.
JOSEPHINE: What about the details? How they fellin love. The Circus. The War. You never told me any of that.
WILL:
That’s because most of it never happened.
JOSEPHINE: But it’s romantic.
A beat.
WILL:
(non-committal) Mmm.
JOSEPHINE: Mmm, what?
WILL:
Mmm, what. I know better than to argueromance with a French woman.
He moves his head out from under the sheet. She follows him to the “outside.” JOSEPHINE: Do you love your father?
WILL:
Everyone loves my father. He’s a verylikeable guy.
78.
JOSEPHINE: (repeating) Do you love him?
Will doesn’t want to answer yes or no.
WILL:
You have to understand. When I was growing up, he was gone more than hewas here. And I started thinking -- maybe he has a second life somewhereelse. With another house, anotherfamily. He leaves us, he goes to them.
Or maybe there is no family. Maybe henever wanted a family. But whatever it is, maybe he likes that second lifebetter. And the reason he tells all those stories is because he can’t stand this boring place.
JOSEPHINE:
But it’s not true.
WILL:
What is “true?” I’ve never heard myfather say a single true thing.
Off her silence...
WILL:
Look, I know why you like him. I know why everyone likes him. But I need youto tell me I’m not crazy.
JOSEPHINE: You’re not.
WILL:
I need you on my side.
