Alvy's Mom
- [Annie's family and Alvy's family converse through a split screen]
- Mom Hall: How do you plan to spend the holidays, Mrs. Singer?
- Alvy's Mom: We fast.
- Dad Hall: Fast?
- Alvy's Dad: No food. You know, to atone for our sins.
- Mom Hall: What sins? I don't understand.
- Alvy's Dad: To tell you the truth, neither do we.
- Doctor in Brooklyn: Why are you depressed, Alvy?
- Alvy's Mom: Tell Dr. Flicker.
- [Young Alvy sits, his head down - his mother answers for him]
- Alvy's Mom: It's something he read.
- Doctor in Brooklyn: Something he read, huh?
- Alvy at 9: [his head still down] The universe is expanding.
- Doctor in Brooklyn: The universe is expanding?
- Alvy at 9: Well, the universe is everything, and if it's expanding, someday it will break apart and that would be the end of everything!
- Alvy's Mom: What is that your business?
- [she turns back to the doctor]
- Alvy's Mom: He stopped doing his homework!
- Alvy at 9: What's the point?
- Alvy's Mom: What has the universe got to do with it? You're here in Brooklyn! Brooklyn is not expanding!
- Doctor in Brooklyn: It won't be expanding for billions of years yet, Alvy. And we've gotta try to enjoy ourselves while we're here!
