Video (Fourth Wall Weekend)

So, um...

[He never knows what to expect when there're all these people around here. Should he get up his hopes and think that he'll know someone? Or should he just treat it like any other curse? It's perplexing. He scratches his head.]

For all of you that, y'know, just randomly arrived here, welcome. You'll only be here for the weekend, so don't get too concerned about it. Consider it, uh, a vacation, or somethin'. You can ask me questions, if you want, but I gotta say, a whole lot of this place don't make much sense.

[A long pause of indecision, and then finally...]

'n if I know you... I mean, if I know you from home, if there's any chance you're out there... just lemme know, okay?

Of course you don't.

[ Why must conversations with her son always be so frustrating. He wasn't like this when he was a little boy. She mentally grits her teeth and tries again. ]

What are you doing with yourself here?

A...magic shop.

[ The disappointment is palpable. A magic shop? Is that what she raised you to become? ]

I suppose you have plenty of free time to take up your studies again?

Better than being poised to run an entire city? That must be some magic shop.

[ That is some extremely fake cheerfulness right there. The kind of cheerfulness that leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. ]

I hadn't realized that 'just fine' was good enough for you. But I suppose if you're happy...

You could have it if you wanted it!

[ She's trying, she really is, but she has worked so hard. It's painful to have everything she's done for him thrown back in her face. ]

You are the heir to something significant. Your father made Atlantic City everything it is, and we are so close to taking it back. You're a better man than the Commodore ever was, Jimmy. You could do so much.

We can handle Nucky. He doesn't have a monopoly on useful friends, and he does have his hands full right now.

[ It's pretty obvious she has no idea what's coming for Jimmy, and still believes the situation is salvageable. Better now, really, with the Commodore gone. ]

When you come back, you'll be rested and in better spirits. Stronger.
