Jan, would you hurry up, please?The photo album is doing more than killing time before dinner. Billy's father reaches for pictures of himself beside famous men and a nightclub band — "Sinatra sang in that club. He sang in that actual club" — turning a family meal into a résumé. The pictures of Billy, meanwhile, are all about who he used to be: a cute baby with a puppy, a handsome kid. When the dog comes up, the mood curdles into an old argument, and the past stops being cute. Layla, the supposed wife, plays along and praises Billy as the most handsome man in the world, and his family barely registers it. What should be a warm homecoming keeps curdling into an argument about a dog from years ago.
