from more than you. But l...

Look, l don't know what

l want to do with my life.

l know that l want it

to mean something to me

the way that

this means something to you.

Oh.

God,

do you think l'm being stupid?

No. No. l...

l think that sounds right.

So how's the family?

Uh, Ann's fine.

Uh, the baby's coming

Tuesday after next Tuesday.

Oh.

lt's a... lt's a cesarean.

Dan, that's amazing.

Yeah, it is.

And, uh,

both girls are...

They're doing well.

Good.

Please, uh,

give them all my best.

Yeah.

Dan.

Thank you.

For what?

For...

l guess

for showing me a few things.

No one ever really

took the time to

give me a hard time before.

Or teach me anything

that was

actually worth learning.

All right.

Now listen, Carter.

l want to tell you something.

You're going to be okay.

You think so?

Yeah. l know it.

You're a good man.

Don't be a stranger.

Morty?

Hey!

You're back!

Yeah, back in the saddle.

And look at you.

You're-- you're...

You look like

a delivery guy.

Oh, do you know

Dan's daughter Alex?

Yeah.

What are you doing here?

l'm surprising my dad.

Tennis.

Alex is

a fantastic tennis player.

She was a junior champ, right?

Really? Oh, you're into...

You're into tennis, huh?

Yeah.

How is everything?

Good. Really...

Really good.

Um, l'm leaving town,

actually.

l think

l'm going to try teaching

or, um,

maybe open an Awapuhi store.

l don't know. Uh...

How are you doing?

Good. Very good.

l've been working on

some short stories.

Oh. That's awesome.

Well, l got a raise.

Dan got me a raise.

Which is a good thing, because

my wife just got laid off.

Timing's everything in life,

right?

Right.

Well, good seeing you.

Take care, Carter.

Yeah. Look, it was really

great seeing both you guys.

You, too, Carter. lt was...

lt was really good to see you.

Bye.

Hi, guys.

Well?

Yes?

Wel, l'm delighted to say

that you have a baby sister.

Are you happy, Dad?

Yeah, l'm psyched.

Hello. Dan! Hey.

Oh, my God. Congratulations.

lt's amazing.

Do you have a name yet?

Oh, no, that's terrific.

Uh,

probably because l'm jogging.

No, l'm outside.

Yes.

l'm actually jogging outside.

/ Please /

Playa del Rey. Don't laugh.

/ Remember me /

l'm thinking about

getting into...

/ Happily /

/ By the rose bush /

/ Laughing with roses

on my chin /

/ The time when /

/ we counted every black car /

/ passing your house

beneath the hill /

/ and up until /

/ someone caught us

in the kitchen /

/ with knives /

/ A mountain range /

/ A piggy bank /

/ A vision to removed

to mention /

/ But, please,

remember me /

/ fondly /

/ I heard from someone

you're still pretty /

/ And then /

/ they went on to say /

/ that the pearly gates /

/ are so eloquently repeated /

/ Like words

I've lost and found /

/ And don't look down /

/ And someone

save temptation /

/ And, please /

/ remember me silently /

/ In the car

behind the corner /

/ you hold my hand /

/ between your knees /

/ You turn from me /

/ Said the trapeze,

it was wonderful /

/ But never

meant to last /

/ The clouds

have passed /

/ So we just come up

with anger /

/ And then /

/ The circus moved /

/ The parking lot /

/ Hiding out,

a hint of danger /

/ So, please, remember me /

/ fondly /

/ You're my uphill crawl,

my dear /

/ But if I make /

/ the pearly gates /

/ Do my best

to make a drawing of God /

/ And Lucifer /

/ A boy and girl /

/ An angel kissin'

on a silkscreen of Mars /

/ The aftermath /

/ A marching band /

/ All around the fray

just trapeze swinging //
