I told him I had a son?

Because you say so?

Because I'm your son.

You're my father!

You are my father, right?

Well ..

What's so funny?

I do not...

Who told you that?

Who said what?

I was your...

Listen, I'm not your father!

- You're not my father?

- No.

Debbie you already had when I met her.

So if you is not...

She never told me.

I do not know.

I thought it was some kind.

You know, you should...

check at the bar, there are many kinds out there.

Okay.

Sorry to bother you.

I regret very much for this Justin.

It's Nate!

Right!

Nate... Merrith.

Will love you.

She'll think you're a coward.

What happened to the uniform?

What the devil are you doing?

Do not you hear the cry?

Accidentally locked the car.

You have the keys.

You're unbelievable!

He was hungry. I would try to find milk.

There is food in the car!

Andy, your mother made the bag

is even in the backseat.

I could not open the damn bottle.

You can not let a kid closed.

in the car with the windows closed.

I opened the sun roof.

Oh My God!

It is a human being not a dog!

Think you do not know that?

It's my son.

So act like his father.

Do not worry about it.

We're sorry! Because you are.

What the devil happened there?

Ohhh! Come on!

Where?

Through hell, where are we going?

He suggested that I look

the son of a b*tch from the bar!

I can not believe it!

But...

you told me...

Who is referred to as

father on Birth Certificate?

Nobody.

She had no one by that?

There is law?

No, she does not have to by one

rather, it is not law.

So you lied.

If I wanted to know,

I have...

Sorry.

You do not have that.

Just wanted to know who is my father.

To me it seems to me that you have

know who is your mother.

I always had this...

image of who he was.

You have to abandon this image.

Quit.

That's what I try to do.

Obviously.

Please!

It's not as if I had left

Travis in a container or similar.

Was in a car outside a school.

She always wanted a son.

It would really leave him?

And if I carry it with me and something happens to you?

I have no idea what I'm doing with my life.

I have no purpose.

You know, I am nothing!

Until I find that demon on this planet,

discover what is my vocation,

Jesus Christ!

He agreed.

Give me my pipe in my suitcase?

Pipe? You're kidding, right?

I'll get.

I follow this path,

do not do anything that is not totally natural.

Even in front of your baby?

I hope the smoke will keep you asleep all night.

Probably hungry again.

No. .. not now have,

but will have soon.

What is it? Babies enjoy herbs do not like?

Help me open.

I must have loosened it before.

I think he likes carrots.

It's a kid so cute.

You have not seen anything yet.

He seems to like me, does not it?

Some carrots?

When I was a kid there were...

lots of kids in my neighborhood.

They moved everyone, but I think to study.

I did not go very far.

You changed you.

No, not really.

I wonder where they went all.

You know, as they arranged the courage to...

leave and sailed alone.

Maybe you should come with me.

Are you serious?

Well, was not...

to hear me say it.

I did not care.

We get along quite well.

Yes

I think I'm a wall.

Breaking the law, starting with the wind.

Could you help me with it

I need someone.

Yes, I know.

I wonder what would happen if I...

leave everything behind.

Everything?

What you leave behind?

It's an excellent question.

A clean start.

Endless Possibilities.

Infinity.

Hello

Want to join?

Look, I...

You know something?

Do not start with the guessing game, okay?

I just...

I'm not sure if I should...

There are no certainties or assumptions.

What does Nate want to do?

How do I look?

You look great.

What are you doing?

- No. ..

- Stop it!

Be quiet.

The chosen, the proud...

You know, you should let your hair grow a little.

Cover your ears a bit.

There are not that great, but...

a little hair looks good.

What do you think my mother

will say when they see me like this?

Who cares what she thinks?

You know, we get your car

and I'll ask him yourself.

Who is he?

Where is he?

What happened?

You should!

Maybe she is honest,

maybe not.

And if not...

find your father ourselves.

Somehow.

Yes, it is our mission.

We travel the country looking for your father.

I, you and Travis.

It'll be great.

You're right.

It's my life.

The decisions are yours.

Want to see?

What do you think?

I think I'm not coming back.

They would have to wage war without me.

Are you serious?

If you return the sheets by the neck

will be on my terms and not in theirs.

I think I have everything I need.

Looking at this brings me memories.

Where is my mother?

You are up front.

You dress like a winner.

Out with the old.

Your father would be proud.

What's so funny?

You!

You're ridiculous!

I'm ridiculous?

For wanting something better than this?

You blame me?

He has his own office.

Make enough money.

He put my picture on your desk for when

The visit is all they know I'm somebody.

He just the beginning.

Good luck.

You think I'm making a mistake?

Sh*t!

Damn!

Invoices, bills, bills!

What are you doing back here?

What did the eyes?

Just...

I wish you were honest mother.

You talked to him was not it?

Yes, because you told me

that man was my father.

Please! What difference does

who he is or where he is?

It has nothing to do with

man or that you are going to be.

If you think this is even then

why not tell me where is he?

I'll give you one more chance

tell me where is my father.

Or do what?

It will tell me or not?

So I quit.

Well ..

if you think this is the right decision.

How can I

whether it is the right decision?

It's not as if I had

a model of behavior.

It's the same old story

or is it an idea of u200bu200byour friend?

No.

It was her.

My?

Let's mom...

never thought I would achieve.

I never wanted I could.

How can you say one thing

knowing that such is not true?

It's true!

You know...?

Your father!

It was a military man.

E. ..

I thought things worked,

Between us, it's perfect.

E. ..

When I was pregnant with you...

he was so proud.

Because he was the one.

It was!

But...

when he returned from service any

thing happened, he was different.

And I thought I should find someone else.

Did not want to shame you had from your father.

How can I be ashamed of

someone who does not even know his mother?

You know him Nate!

You know him!

Sorry!

Hola Nate!

I'm looking for the key.

It's here somewhere.

Give me a second.

No. Okay.

Take the time you want.

I hid it somewhere specifically,

not to lose the special e. ..

I hid it very much.

That's the problem.

I keep repeating myself,

I have to organize myself one day, but

am so busy chasing my tail...

You....

Are you planning to open your own garage?

've Been planning since I was your age, just...

can not stop planning and start doing.

Yes ..

Yes, I walk around within this site

busy working

and never get a. ..
