don't use this in life, use this,'

which I took to mean,

don't hit people, headbutt them.

When I was a kid,

walking into the lounge...

- You alright there?

- Yeah. Go ahead, I'll catch up.

I was eight.

When I was a kid,

I was having a bath once.

I must have done something wrong...

'cause Dad...

Dad came in...

Come on, son. Spit it out!

People always ask me about the stuff

I do about Dad.

They say,

'Your father sounds like a hard man.'

He's probably not as hard as

I make out he is.

I do love him.

I probably should leave him alone

for awhile.

How am I doing, Dad?

Proud of you, son.

I'm proud of him.

Except for the time that

he sh*t his pants.

He's making that up.

I threatened to tell Mum for years...

but she was doing the same.

I'd like to sing a song now,

dedicated to a girl.

It goes exactly like this.

Met her downstairs

In the cafe underneath her flat

She was reading a book

About some old guy

about to top himself

She looked kind of lonely

She looked kind of sad

The reason that I knew

These were feelings that I had

To make her happy

Is all I wanted to do

We went out dancing

Our steps went from 1

To 2

The closer that we got

The more that we forgot

About all the bad

Feelings that we had

I met her downstairs

In a cafe

Underneath her flat.

Thank you.

Here's to a fantastic performance

and a brilliant career.

I'm going to make your son a star

in America.

He's already a star.

- He certainly is, sir.

- I know.

OK.

Sa'ude!

Brazil!

Brazil, Maria!

We're all very happy.

It's going to be a great adventure.

This is for you to sign.

Thanks, mate.

It's, ah, it's everything

we agreed upon, mate. It's fine.

You cool?

Yeah.

Just give me a minute, mate.

I'll just go have a word.

Let me, Jimmy.

We got a problem?

No, Joel.

I think it's just a bit of cold feet.

Maria!

I don't feel good, Dad.

Listen, son...

I never did much right in my life.

Could have been a better father...

better husband.

But one thing I can be proud of...

the day I told your mother I loved her.

I was scared!

I thought she'd laugh at me.

It was the best thing I ever did.

It gave me everything I have.

All I'm saying is...

don't be afraid, son.

Don't be afraid.

Thanks, Dad.

Is everything alright, Jimmy?

Oh, everything's fine, Joel.

Let me buy you a drink.

Cruising Yacht Club, thanks, mate.

Maria!

Maria!

Maria!

I love you.

I love you!
