father was.

What is that supposed...

It means that you talk and you

whine

about your dad leaving too late.

Well at least he did.

At least he tried. I dragged you

all the way up here because you

weren't ever gonna leave because

you are a coward.

Didn't have the courage to make something

happen with your life in LA and

Guys who get what they want, they get

it because they go out and take it

and that is never gonna be you.

- Idiots! Stop!

Whoa!

Whoa whoa.

Yeah, that was douchebaggy.

- Oh my god.

Hey.

Marty.

I want to say it was really great

working with you again, man.

See you in the future.

- Nice, D.

- Deke!

- Man, those guys are d*cks.

- Total d*cks. They're the worst.

- Total douchebags. -I got

some good shots in, right?

- Totally. -We should probably

get ice or something. Like a...

You want some ice? Like a steak?

You want me to go get a steak?

- We look good though.

- Yeah.

Hey, what happened?

- There's been some fighting. -

- What?

I think he popped my eye, man.

- Come here.

- Can you see out of it?

Hey.

Hey.

What?

- I want to talk to you.

- What?

No. Don't touch me!

- Don't you...

- I'm trying to calm you down.

Nobody forced you to come with

me!

You saw what you wanted me to be

and

I made you feel good for a

little while.

You're hurting me!

Stop it!

Stop.

Stop it. Shut up. Shut up!

Shut up.

- Do you know what that feels like?

- No. I don't.

That's what it feels like.

Go be a nice guy somewhere else.

- Excuse me, folks. Can I get

your attention please?

- We're gonna get started.

- Very excited to announce our

presentation for the night.

- Will you please help me

introduce...

Gavin Eckhouse and Drew Troiller

Pixar Animation Studios.

- What did you say you plan to be?

- When I grow up?

Probably either a cartoonist or

a comedian or an imitator.

Here, baby. Talk to mama.

- Yeah. Tell mommy.

- Talk to mama.

You'd like to go swim in Hawaii!

I swim!

Swim in Hawaii.

Oh boy, will you swim like this?

- Dad, you're gonna...

gonna miss out.

You're gonna, um...

Not be around.

And you should have been around.

Because I have gotta do this.

- But I want you to know.

That I'm not...

I'm not...

Not mad.

I know it was hard.

It's been... It's been really

hard for me, too.

- So tell me what movie you like

to see in the morning?

- You wake Daddy up really early

in morning.

What movies do you like to see?

- "Mary Poppins!"

- "Mary Poppins" and what else?

- I want...

you to know that I'm trying to

make you proud.

And I'm sorry...

I'm sorry...

That you're not gonna see

the cartoon that I'm gonna make.

And I'm sorry that

you're not gonna be around to

see a lot of things.

- Hey. Man, you're not gonna

believe this. -What?

The guys on the panel are from

Pixar.

- Seriously?

- Yeah.

You gotta go over there and

pitch your idea.

Oh no no, I, uh...

I don't know about that.

It's what you came here for.

I don't know what I would say.

It's kinda crazy.

I dunno, man. This is it. It's

like it's meant to be.

That's like the same magical thinking

that got me into this whole mess,

I think it's a bad idea.

I dunno. There's not reason not

to.

Come on. What do you have to

lose?

I could look really stupid.

So?

Go look stupid.

I'll watch.

Hi. I'm an animator.

And I just wanted to, um...

Wanted to show you something I've

been working on for a long time.

And uh...

- We're not really here for that tonight.

- No, no, I, uh...

No, I didn't want to show you anything,

actually, I just wanted to, um...

I wanted to tell you about

something I've been working on.

Ah, get your opinion.

Something I've been working on

with a collaborator.

OK. Um, you've got 30 seconds.

OK! Um...

It's called "Hobo. "

With an exclamation point.

And it's about, um...

It's... The main character's

name is Hobo and

he's like an old-timey hobo, you

know, rides the rails and...

Traveling and...

The catch is though, that he

moonlights as a, uh...

a superhero.

Um, complete with his

laser-shooting harmonica.

And um... And he has a sidekick.

A jar of pee named Ignatius

Urine.

That's just the idea that I have

so far.

It's good, man. You should keep

developing it.

Yeah absolutely, really solid

stuff, man.

Cool. Thank you.

- Yeah, no problem. Who else has

got a question?

Thanks.

I know this is...

kinda inconvenient.

But you're a real champ. Thank

you.

No prob.

You just owe me your firstborn

child or a car wash.

I'll let you decide.

No, but seriously...

I'm really...

happy for you and, and shocked.

All at the same time.

- Because.

- Why?

You... Like I walk in there and

you're just...

completely owning the room and,

and, and...

so confident in what you were

saying. And, um...

Just not scared...

of your creativity and it had been so

long since I had seen you do that.

And I'm, I'm just happy for you. I

hope this is the beginning of a

new leaf or something.

This is a weird question...

Is there, um, such a thing as

a...

break-up kiss?

Um, hmmmm.

You ever heard of that?

It occurs in many a film.

I guess I could see the benefits

of it.

Why? Did you have one?

No.

Did she have one?

I guess so.

And I got real jealous.

And it's good that I left LA.

I needed to. I needed to do this

thing.

Even if it was a crazy idea.

Because I had to...

do the opposite of my dad.

I had to do what it took. You

know? Because...

Your dad...

left his entire existence.

Including you and your family to

go

pursue his dream.

But why couldn't he have pursued

his dream

and held on to who he was?

I don't see why those things

can't go together.

I don't think you have

to leave everything...

...you've ever known and

everybody who's ever known you.

To go pursue your dream and be

an artist.

For your dad to run away just

because he wasn't finding instant

success and instant

gratification from others

to me, feels much more cowardly,

um...

than anything you were doing.

So maybe your dad is the example

of what not to do.

Not to run away from all the

things that scare you.

Just stand up to them and

like...

say, "this is who I am," and

like, and and...

I don't know, do what you did

today.

Thanks.

We're almost home.

I don't know if this if gonna be

good, but um...

Whatever. I'm just gonna do it.

Yes siree! You're right,

Ignatius.

I'll be damned if that wasn't

the most hifalutin adventure

we ever did come across.

Barely made it!

See ya in the mornin.

Cool.

Hi.

Hi.

I know I can't really make it up

to you, but

I want to at least return this.

And to tell you that

I'm incredibly sorry.

- You taped them all back up.

- Yeah.

I appreciate that.

Want to, uh...

Go get some ice cream, or

something?

Ice cream sounds great.

I...

said a lot of things I didn't

mean.

And I did things that I really

didn't want to do.

Like,

hitting.

Yeah.

With the force of 10 men.

Still feel it.

Oliver, I have a lot of

problems.

And I do try and do that "manic
