burglary, assault,

extortion.

I mean, you'll go to Jail for ten years,

with an expensive lawyer.

So tell me, is this over?

Correct answer is yes.

Yes, it's over.

Okay.

Go tell this idiot,

before he burns the office down.

I could've been sitting here!

No, Jimmy, no!

- No!

- No, let's go, let's go!

- We have to burn down his office!

- No! No!

One problem, d*ckhead.

It's not his office,

it's my office, okay?

You stalking me?

I am.

I wanna come home, Jack.

I wanna come home so bad.

I Just...

I Just wanna come home.

I want us to get it right

and I wanna come home.

Come here.

I have made a decision.

I no longer choose to

be a talent agent.

I have left my company.

My former partners all have voted.

Arlene will replace me

and run the company.

Needless to say,

this did not sit well with Morty.

For the first time in fifteen years,

I will be Just Jack,

Something I have grown and built

and guided and nourished

with every beat of life that I had

is no longer mine.

I am nothing without the elixir

of constant movement.

I do not know how to Just be still.

So I shall read these,

and within two weeks,

you'll be receiving

a grade and an evaluation.

Thank you. Thank you.

I have no problem

with you reading this,

you and you alone,

if that's what it takes

to finish the course.

Wonderful.

I do not need

an evaluation, however.

Give me any grade you want.

I'm done.

I gotta tell you something.

You're a real shitbag, Primkin.

All in all, though,

I think you taught

a pretty good class.

Thank you.

So, you're done.

Is that it?

That's it. I'm done.

Good. You've done well, son.

You done good.

Except...

you spelled "Primkin" wrong.

God.

Nina and I

have a long way to go.

With the odds against us,

we are determined

to make it work.

There's things I'll need to forget.

There's things she'll need

to make sure I remember.

How is it possible that I

still have so much to learn?

End of entry.
