The Subject Was Roses.

Timmy Cleary (Martin Sheen) discovers his middle class parents have drifted apart and constantly quarrel at the least provocation. The young veteran finds himself bonding with his salesman father John (Jack Albertson), but he tries to remain neutral when intervening in their disputes. Nettie rejects John's advances, suggesting he go to "one of his whores" and breaks the vase of flowers, prompting her husband to reveal it really was Timmy who bought them.
