You can hit me if you want.

I'm sorry.

You're my brother.

What was it you showed me?

I didn't know how to name you sin.

But I'll say it was you.

Always you were calling me.

I wanted to be loved because I was great.

A big man.

I am nothing.

Look, the glory around us.

Trees and birds.

I lived in shame.

I dishonored it all and didn't notice the glory.

A foolish man.

They're closing the plant.

They gave me a choice.

No job.

Or transfer to a job nobody wants.

Father.

I never missed a day of work.

Mother.

Tithe every Sunday.

Always you wrestle inside me.

Always you will.

You know Jack, all I ever wanted for you was...

Make you strong and,

grow up and be your own boss.

Maybe I've been tough on you.

I'm not proud of that.

I'm as bad as you are.

I'm more like you than her.

It was about all I've done in life,

otherwise I've drawn zilch.

You're all I have, you're all I want to have.

My sweet boy.

Are you just going to stand

there like a bump on a log?

The only way to be happy is to love.

Unless you love,

your life will flash by.

Do good to them.

Wonder.

Hope.

Brother.

Keep us.

Guide us.

To the end of time.

Follow me.

I give him to you.

I give you my son.
