902
00:
54:18,802 -- 00:54:20,827Alan ever ask
about her?
903
00:
54:22,239 -- 00:54:25,640Yeah, he does.
l just don't know
what to say.
904
00:
54:25,809 -- 00:54:29,802Hey, look, l'm not a father.
905
00:
54:29,980 -- 00:54:31,345So...
906
00:
54:31,515 -- 00:54:34,643You know, l'm really in no position
to give you advice at all.
907
00:
54:36,286 -- 00:54:38,379When l was a kid,
908
00:
54:38,555 -- 00:54:40,750hoping that today
would finally be the day
909
00:
54:40,924 -- 00:54:42,755that my mom
would come home.
910
00:
54:44,895 -- 00:54:47,056l waited around 1 5 years.
911
00:
54:47,230 -- 00:54:50,927So l know how painful
it might have been for
my dad to
912
00:
54:51,435 -- 00:54:53,335just tell me the truth.
913
00:
54:55,038 -- 00:54:57,404But it would have saved me
a lot of waiting around.
914
00:
54:57,574 -- 00:54:59,098You know?
915
00:
55:01,778 -- 00:55:05,179Well, l guess if the worst thing
you can say about your father
916
00:
55:05,349 -- 00:55:08,546is he tried to protect you
too much...
917
00:
55:09,620 -- 00:55:12,088then that's a pretty good
father, isn't it?
918
00:
55:12,656 -- 00:55:14,954l'm sorry.
You're John, right?
919
