- But, you're making a mistake.

- Well, then I'll learn from it!

You don't have to learn from it,

that's the point.

I'm here to spare you from this.

Kid, look... your music...

- your music is always gonna be there.

- Well, so will school.

No! It's not.

With school, it's not that simple.

Guys!

I've made up my mind.

Well, I, uh... I can't.

I can't let you do this.

Well, I'm nineteen.

You can't do anything about it.

Oh, really?

Who pays your bills?

- You'd cut me off?

- Try me.

All right, let's just take this down.

- You stay outta this.

- Grandpa gets me.

Oh, really? Grandpa gets you?

What are you,

encouraging this behind my back?

- No.

- You're a hypocrite, that's what you are.

- You watch yourself!

- Hey, don't undermine me!

Look at you two!

Look at us!

What a joke.

Let's just quit and go home.

Who do you think you are?

- Son...

- No, really. Who are you?

Because this guy...

This guy right now,

this isn't the father that I grew up with.

The father that I grew up with

could have cared less

what it was that I wanted.

And now my son wants to go off,

and he wants to go join a band,

and you're encouraging this?

I told him to listen to you.

You told him to listen to me?

Those were your words?

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

Well, that's funny 'cause you've

never listened to anything that I've said!

- I listened.

- You have never listened to me!

You never listened to me.

You never encouraged me.

- I wanted to be a writer!

- You tried.

Yeah, I did.

I tried that.

I wanted to be a writer,

and you wanted me to be you.

Or at least one

of your beloved Mustangs.

That's true.

I did.

It's time to go.

Markie's right.

Hey, kid... Ya here?

Markie!

He's not here!

Huh?

I said he's not here.

Relax.

Probably just somewhere

blowing off steam.

Give him some time.

- Dad?

- Yeah?

- Let's go find him.

- Let's go!

Markie!

Markie!

Markie!

Markie!

Markie!

Where could he have gone?

Markie!

Dad!

Take a look at this.

He went the wrong way at the fork.

Jewelry's better than bread crumbs.

Markie!

Markie!

Markie!

Markie!

- Hey!

- What?

Listen...

You hear that?

That's his harmonica!

Markie! Markie!

Dad, I'm over here!

Markie... Whoa! Whoa!

That's what happened to me.

You okay?

Yeah, I got too close to the edge

and it gave way,

twisted my ankle.

You hurt bad?

It's no mint under the pillow,

but I'm okay.

You got any rope

or a ladder back at the cabin?

Not a thing.

What are we gonna do?

All right, I'm going down there.

You gotta lower me down, okay?

You're gonna both end up

stuck down there.

I don't care. That's my boy.

He's coming outta that hole.

So lower me down.

Okay, Dad, just be careful.

Easy does it.

Wait, wait! Wait, wait, wait!

All right, I gotta let you go.

- Slow! Slow! Slow! Slow!

- Dad!

- You okay, Dad?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

Dad, give me the water bottle

and the head lamp.

- What for?

- You'll see, hurry up!

- How you doin' kid?

- Good.

- Heads up!

- Yeah!

OK.

- Whoa.

- Ta-da!

Huh?

- That from the book?

- Yes, sir!

Nice, Dad.

Here...

Look, kid, let's get you out of here.

All right... Your foot, your foot.

Go, go, go!

Go! Go!

Push.

- Got him?

- Got him!

Hang on, Markie.

That's it, boy!

All right, fellas...

my turn.

All right, Dad.

- You ready?

- You'll have to jump!

- You got this, Dad.

- Come on, son.

All right.

You got this, Dad.

- Right here!

- Almost! Almost!

Come on, Dad.

One more. Here we go!

Evan.

What?

We're a team.

- We are one.

- We are one.

We're a family.

Atta boy!

Got it! Come on!

Pull, pull, pull, pull, pull. Pull!

- Oh!

- Oh! Oh!

You okay, kid?

I owe you a new headlamp.

Well, I can't walk,

so who's carrying me?

Grandpa.

Uh-huh. In your dreams.

I'm goin' home

On the morning train

You know I'm goin' home

On the morning train

The road is long

The river's high

That's why I'm goin' home

On the morning train

Take my hurt and relieve my pain

Please Lord take my hurt

And relieve my pain

Mountain peaks and valleys wide

That's why I'm goin' home

On the morning train

I'm goin' home on the morning train

You know I'm goin' home

On the morning train

The road is long

The river's high

That's why I'm goin' home

On the morning train

Hold me close

Time is running low

I said hold me close

Time is running low

The days are hot

The evenings cold

That's why I'm goin' home

On the morning train

I'm goin' home on the morning train

You know I'm goin' home

On the morning train

The road is long

I tell you what,

there's not a bit of quit in our boy.

Got a better hang time

than Michael Jordan.

It's true.

Michael Jordan's

a basketball player.

I know he's a basketball player.

- Okay, just making sure.

- Kid what...

And Grandpa totally beat

Dad in the arm wrestling!

He... Whoa, whoa!

- Dad!

- I won the other thing...

what was the game called?

You can't

win the icebreakers game.

- Icebreaker game. I totally won that!

- You can't win that game.

A leaf. You were a leaf!

Part of a tree.

You wouldn't believe

the stuff he came up with.

He started a fire with corn chips.

- You did that?

- I did. I did do that.

But my true masterpiece

was my coffee.

All that's in the book?

Next time,

we're definitely bringing pots.

I'm getting better at camping.

I'm liking...

I'm enjoying camping more.

Who is he?

Hey, Pop!

Got a sec?

- Yeah.

- Well, I, uh...

- I got you somethin'.

- What's that?

Why don't you open it up

and find out?

A little late, but happy retirement.

Oh, boy...

look at that.

I thought you'd like that.

Uh-oh.

It's not a clip-on.

No, it's not, but why don't we, uh...

Let's put it on you.

You wanna give it a shot?

Turn around.

Okay.

You know what?

Why don't you do it,

and I'll walk you through it?

- I don't know how.

- Well, I'll show ya how.

Take this guy.

Take the big guy,

and wrap him over this guy,

little guy, two times.

- Around it?

- Yep. Around it.

You got it.

Now throw it over again.

OK, and up and under.

Right through here.

- Up and under.

- Like that?

Perfect.

Perfect.

Now just pull it down

through this little loop...

make a loop...

pull it right down through there.

And now

hold onto the small side,

pull on the big guy.

Hey.

There you go.

Pop this guy down.

There, turn around,

let me have a look at ya.

All right.

Lookin' good!

Hey, guys, what are ya doin'?

The girls want to play hearts.

Tell 'em we're on our way.

Coming!

Hey, guys, where'd you go?

Come on, I want to hear

more about this snake.

It was really scary.

It was a huge snake, come on!

We're burnin' daylight.

And... there we go.

Music's made you soft, Junior.

No, college has.

You're welcome.

Last one to the falls

sleeps on the bear rug.

To be a man

To be a king

That is my dream

To be a man

To be a king

That is my dream

To soar

Like a bird

And to roar

Like a lion

To be strong and bold

Big and strong

To be the man

That my father would have me to be
