"Okay, you're taking pills again.

"And you're not just taking them to fly."

When I knew he was in trouble,

"I'll deal with this soon.

"I've got what it takes.

"I'll go cold turkey as soon as I'm home.

"Sue.

"Susan had never known me f***ed up."

"So she didn't instantly recognise it."

Okay, you're down. You got knocked down.

Are you gonna stay on the ground,

What are you going to do?

Your choice!

You want to die, you want to live?

What do you want to do?

Let me go and get you a gun.

Get it over with.

You want to live? Let's fight.

Get up on your feet. Let's go!

and thank goodness for Susan

and the two girls,

because they really

He's a great dad.

I'm probably the luckiest guy in the world.

Norman Rockwell-like picture in my mind

"of how our home life should look.

"Until I suddenly realised

that right there, right then,

"I had everything I'd always wanted.

"A family that needed me.

"Kids who were excited about something

I could actually help them with.

"And my baseball team on the TV.

"If only Norman Rockwell

had been there to paint this scene."

Hi, Mike.

On the pedal steel,

Mr Paul Hutzler.

This handsome man to my left,

My partner in crime back here on the bass,
