swear to God I never talk to you!

Because you sent out?

Yes! But the frame is good.

See?

A new beginning.

You think you do pick up again?

Busy to talk to himself.

Wacko of lightning!

However it's good with cars.

You're back!

What's happening?

The war is over?

Not for me.

The car of my friend has a problem

on startup, maybe something else.

Pu him walk, but needed that you saw it.

Is parked on the street, okay?

I can not pay much.

No! You give him some money when it's gone.

Otherwise it goes to the bar drinking.

Can I have it ready in a few two days.

Two days?

After tomorrow Gene.

Okay.

I can not stay here so long,

gotta go have my mother's house.

Alright! I give you a ride.

Let's get outta here.

Think you can tell that he arrange the car?

Depends. If you feel like working on it will fix it.

Thanks again for the ride.

No problem.

I heard you discuss with your mother.

I think you should call your father.

What do you think?

Do not be afraid of your mother.

I'm not afraid of it.

Just do not want to bother.

If you can go jump into the middle of a

war zone within a few weeks,

I think I deserve the right to connect to your own father,

and let him know what's going on with your life.

Call him!

Okay!

I'll call.

Damn!

BNB:

Hello, Mark Dessau, please.

Nate is Merrith... Nathan Merrith.

Yes, I would schedule a meeting.

Tomorrow?

Thanks.

See?

You are not happy to have done?

What happened?

Make an appointment to see your father tomorrow.

Scored.

How do you feel?

As a kid scared.

Travis...

Grandma explains that pairs cry for news.

Want some more medicine?

Thanks.

I have to tell you something about my mother,

she is very...

What?

It's what?

My God!

I waited and waited!

I expected you sooner.

Why did not you used the key?

I have the key.

Who is this?

My car broke down.

Nathan gave me a ride.

Look, I cleaned your room...

Where's Travis?

This is splendid.

It is very good.

I love red wine.

It is the only one who does not give me headaches.

I love your house!

Thank you.

It is no longer what it was.

When I met Andy and his father

this house for years, I remember thinking:

Endless Possibilities!

Of course Andy said, "Infinity".

Andy's father and I were starting, and

I was so proud.

A direct me to this house in a stylish black car.

This car...

clear that I understood...

he was not exactly

the man I thought you were.

Andy does not remember this,

but when he was young,

before his father died,

he used to smoke in front of all...

Louise!

What?

Would compliment you.

About how tough you are.

How are tough.

O God!

Tylock that sounded...

show that I did...

I can not remember anything.

Andy, as called the show?

Remember? The one where I created,

and there was this boy...

And then?

So you're an actress?

Never leave home.

How can I go if I have Travis?

Left the house before Travis.

I will not argue in front of others.

I suggest that...

accept our differences.

You...

're careless.

You are a person with no worries.

And I'd rather stay home.

Who brought the groceries, Mom?

When was the last time someone

asked him how he spent the day?

Good idea.

I go to a shooting,

and thou...

'll take care of Travis.

Andrew?

What Louise?

Your child needs a bath.

What is this?

What is this?

What is this?

When you said your mother took care of things

for you did not think you had been talking about a baby.

With your son.

I hope he takes care

him a little longer, until...

Until what?

I think we should stay here tonight.

I do not want to drag behind me.

Sure.

Okay.

Where do I sleep?

My room is at the bottom.

He is so polite.

And attractive.

It's your boyfriend?

My car is being repaired,

and when ready I'll look for work

and I'll bring some money.

Not gonna leave me again,

as you walk around.

The Travis is your responsibility,

I can not, sorry...

Why not make a movie?

No! Wait!

Stay with me.

I undo your boxes and

You can go back to school.

This is what we like.

It can also stay.

What are you doing?

I was putting it in the cradle.

He will not stay here?

Do not want to change her habits.

You can get the bed,

I sleep on the floor.

No. Okay.

Could you please share?

No. What I meant is that

I do not mind sleeping on the floor.

So...

where is the mother?

It's an excellent question.

Have you been sick?

Barely knew her.

I went to picnic with a friend...

some tequila, a spectacle of fireworks,

is easy to get confused.

I'm a little confused.

About what?

I'm trying to understand you.

What are you trying to figure out?

I think I have nothing to do with it.

Unless you want to be.

I wrapped the book about babies.

What book about babies?

The book she left things with him.

It also wrapped up some old toys Blackie.

Why dog u200bu200bwrapped toys for a baby?

A toy is a toy.

Dear...

- This thing is broken?

- How do I know?

Honey, do not forget the food.

You must ensure that he eats.

He likes cookies, but in moderation,

you do not want him to have stomach pains.

What are you doing?

You hear me?

Do not want to give you stomach pains.

What are you doing?

- Where is Nate?

- What are you doing?

- He is a mechanic...

- I'm mechanics, like any other,

I'll try.

Dear out there!

- Why can not remain so?

- I do not know! I do not know! I do not know!

But I'll try.

So attractive in that uniform!

Why so upstanding?

Will meet his father for the first time today.

What do you think?

I think he'll be very proud.

Please be informed if problems arise.

Please...

Please play after you.

I died for concern.

Do not worry so much.

Why worry so much?

You'll find out.

Sooner than what you think.

Be careful with you.

I love you.

It is now.

Deep breath.

What do you think he'll think of me?

You will love thee!

You think?

Look at you.

Who would not?

If you take a long time back.

Hey!

Good luck!

It is a very brave thing.

There is food in his bag.

You should feed him.

Yes

This thing is like Pandora's Box!

What is this?

The ridicule of my mother

thinking that my son is a dog.

Vai. I'm fine.

OK!

F***!

I know.

It was a coincidence.

I know!

It was like...

Hello

Nathan Merrith.

An hour is too early?

Okay.

He is ready to receive it.

Now?

Only spent a minute.

Are you okay?

So?

You are the son of Debbie Merrith?

The name!

Merrith! It took me awhile to remember me, but...

How is she?

Working hard.

One feature that did not.

Yes

Always the same thing.

Do not want to sit?

I want to.

I can not believe that Thou art.

The last time I saw you had...

Yes, I've spent a long time.

And now...

you are a U.S. Marine?

Yes sir.

My wife and I were...

big fans of the war.

She's pretty.

It's an actress.

Want children.

Have not told you yet about the vasectomy.

I thought of keeping it for the paper anniversary.

She knows about me?

You know what about you?

- I told him?

- He said what?

I told him I had a son?

What?
