have the important things done.

So is it.

Tiny cute.

Is yours?

All mine!

My to do bullshit.

Yeah!

Well, I did lots with Nate, but...

he did well.

He is an excellent type.

Yes

I remember Nate at this age.

Sometimes when I go to work, eye

for the rearview mirror and I can swear,

yet when I see sitting behind the bench

with baby toys scattered everywhere.

I miss that.

When I look at Nate, I... I...

see my...

my purpose!

And my...

My reason for being!

Nate was my...

Vocation?

Vocation!

Exactly! Yes!

I just....

It's so hard to let go.

You okay?

You want anything?

There is wrapping paper, do you?

Wrapping paper?

As for gifts?

Yes

I found the key!

The damn key was on my neck all the time.

Look... sorry...

No. It's okay...

I wanted to repair the car.

Okay Gene.

Did very well.

Yes .. just... the same story.

Nothing special.

How much do you...

How much do we owe you?

Do not worry about it.

What's up?

Tell me about that...

such driving.

That to the base?

Yes

Nothing to tell...

used to go there.

I and thy mother.

Do not tell him did you?

No.

Will you tell?

Sorry Nate!

I'd better go to work.

Is everything okay?

What is it?

Are you coming with us does it?

It was a stupid idea, I suppose.

Not very realistic.

He could sit in this car for

always and not even walk a meter.

I miss my mother.

I better take you back to base.

There is a place where I go first.

I'm proud of you.

It's here. You can park here.

What happened here?

Actually, I think it was here...

It was what?

Have you thought where are you going?

I do not know.

I think I'll trust the universe to guide us.

And you?

Are you sure about this?

I'll try to stay focused.

Do not chase my tail.

It's a good idea.

The base lies at the end of the road

I can walk the rest of the path.

Are you sure?

Yes

I'll walk.

I have something for you.

I wrapped it in the house of your mother.

What is this?

Good luck soldier.

Will you work?

What do you think?

I received my benefit earlier this month.

You did well Gene.

Hey Deb!

Nate got me thinking...

remember when...

You and I used to...

Remember that night at the drive-in?

How long have you been?

Gene has a good night.

Nate?

You know I never did any of this before, right?

But if you stay with me, I think we're fine.

A new beginning.
