'cause i'm here with mom. Hold on.

Can you hear me?

- Yeah.

Hi, honey.

- Hey, mom.

So, uh, you know, we haven't heard from you in a while.

- I know. I'm sorry.

I've been a little busy lately.

- That's good.

Keith said he saw on youtube that you quit your job.

- Uh, facebook, dad.

Uh-Huh. So, it... it's true?

- Yeah. It is.

That's... big news.

- Yeah. -What brought this on?

An argument with bill.

- An argument? About what?

About me taking time off this summer.

- To go to africa?

Yeah, that was part of it.

- Well, what did he say?

A lot of things.

Listen, can i just call you guys later?

Well, no, no. What are you gonna do?

Well, i'm gonna find another job, dad.

You know that's gonna be kind of rough when your past employer

Of seven years won't write you a recommendation.

- I realize that, dad.

How are you gonna pay

for your trip?

Well, this will upset you guys, probably...

But i s-Sold the ring that grandfather gave

me, and i'm using that money to pay for the trip.

That was a stupid thing to do, Doug!

Okay? That was a stupid, selfish,

selfish thing to do.

The ring was a gift to me.

- It was not a gift. It wasn't a gift!

It's your grandmother's ring!

Okay? That was given to you with

the understanding that you would

give it to someone special,

Somebody you cared about that you

wanted to make part of this family.

That's way you is given something,

what is part of this family.

Okay, Doug, we're gonna call you back later.

- No, we're not.

You f***ed up, Doug.

You f***ed up.

Dad, i understand why you're upset.

No, no.

This is the worst thing you could have done.

Hello?

- Hi. I need to come in.

Okay.

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

Must be pretty serious if you're willing to come to me about it.

- I have to come to you.

Congratulations.

Really?

- No. I'm f***ing joking.

When did you find out?

For sure yesterday.

You look even more disappointed

than my mom.

I'm... i'm sorry. I'm just surprised.

What did your mom say?

That i was a f***-Up, basically.

- Did she actually say that to you?

Basically.

- Did she actually say that to you?

What else would she say...

"good job?"

Have you told anyone else?

Have you thought about what you

want to do?

Of course.

I can't.

You have nothing to say?

This is a big surprise, obviously.

I can't say that i'm not scared, in a way.

But if this is how it's gonna be,

then this is how it's gonna be.

You're not a f***-Up.

Your mom's a b*tch.

No, she's right.

- No, she's not right.

Here.

- Thank you.

Is it just one of those things

with you being on birth control?

Did the doctor say anything?

I had missed a few days. I didn't get it

refilled because we had broken up

and i didn't

want to keep taking it, you know?

I also didn't think that anything

would happen that night.

It was like two days.

You think she's lying?

- No.

Here.

- Thanks, man. -Yeah.

And you really believe that she

didn't do this sh*t on purpose?

Yeah. I do.

- Then she... she's completely irresponsible.

That is so f***ed.

- Well, i played a part, as well.

Well, i played a part, as well.

- No, no.

You but under the impression

that she's on birth control.

This isn't something she wanted.

- She wants it enough to keep it.

Where are my smokes? Yeah, all right.

Doug, just because she's pregnant doesn't

mean that you have to give up everything else in your life.

No, i understand.

And it doesn't mean that you guys

have to get back together, either.

No, i know.

- This is the 21st century, man.

This is how it works now.

Yeah, well, what do you suggest?

You're an expert on

relationships.

Well... go to Tanzania.

You disappear into the jungle.

F*** it, right?

Learn how to hunt boar.

I don't know. I really don't know.

It does change things.

Other stuff seems less important now.

Listen, man...

What if there was no baby?

Take the baby out of the equation.

This is the rest of your life.

Is this what you want?

Is that her? Don't answer it.

Don't answer the phone.

No.

- You're hopeless, man. -It's my parents.

Oh. I'm going outside. I'm gonna go smoke.

- Hey.

Doug, honey... um...

i'm afraid we've had some bad news.

The nursing home called.

In our conversations, i learned

so much about the community

that i had just come to call home.

But which he had known all his life.

I saw the selflessness of

a man who had left college

when his father's accident meant

that he needed to run the store

who left home when

his nation called him to face its enemies across the pacific.

He was a man who always

put the needs of his family first.

That was the milton sr. That i met,

the man so many of you call "friend",

"father, "grandfather."

Good boy.

Hey.

- Hey.

Were you just, uh, getting some air?
