Listen, you think l'm betting on us,

but l'm not.

858

01:
10:11,348 -- 01:10:13,418

l'm just as scared as you are.

859

01:
10:14,514 -- 01:10:16,394

And l miss you too.

860

01:
10:19,014 -- 01:10:20,734

Okay. When?

861

01:
10:21,931 -- 01:10:24,361

When should l come?

862

01:
10:25,931 -- 01:10:27,441

Yesterday.

863

01:
10:28,639 -- 01:10:30,549

You're not coming by boat,

are you?

864

01:
10:31,639 -- 01:10:33,949

Jet Ski? Windsurfer?

865

01:
10:44,763 -- 01:10:46,163

So behave yourself.

866

01:
10:47,097 -- 01:10:48,057

You got your ticket?

867

01:
10:50,430 -- 01:10:52,340

Of course l have my ticket.

868

01:
10:53,055 -- 01:10:54,455

Got my name on all my clothes.

869

01:
10:54,805 -- 01:10:57,085

And l got a quarter for a phone call.

870

01:
10:57,638 -- 01:10:59,518

You got a gift for that kid of hers?

871

01:
11:00,638 -- 01:11:02,758

Get one at the airplane gift shop.

872

01:
11:03,638 -- 01:11:06,548

Don't get into any fights

or anything.

873

01:
11:07,346 -- 01:11:08,256

There it comes.

874

01:
11:08,596 -- 01:11:10,426

Right on time,

just like your old man.

875

01:
11:10,762 -- 01:11:12,032

Don't throw your back out.

876

01:
11:12,346 -- 01:11:14,096

Take your pills.

877

01:
11:14,846 -- 01:11:19,396

By my count, there should be 2 beers

left in the fridge when l get back.

878

01:
11:20,470 -- 01:11:22,980

That's a sorry occupation,

counting other people's beers.

879

01:
11:23,345 -- 01:11:25,905

lf you get Kenny or

any tourist kids to score you beer. . .

880

01:
11:26,262 -- 01:11:27,382

. . .l'll hear about it.

881

01:
11:27,678 -- 01:11:29,748

l got two counties covered.

882

01:
11:33,512 -- 01:11:35,582

That lady sure got you gut-hooked.

883

01:
11:37,636 -- 01:11:39,066

How'd you get to be so mean?

884

01:
11:40,178 -- 01:11:41,298

See you in a week.

885

01:
11:43,511 -- 01:11:45,711

The hell you say!

886

01:
11:46,636 -- 01:11:49,106

Not with your

plane ticket on the seat here!

887

01:
12:00,094 -- 01:12:01,084

Good dog.

888

01:
12:26,510 -- 01:12:28,150

l think he's here, Mom.

889

01:
12:35,301 -- 01:12:36,531

You're kind of nervous.

890

01:
12:36,843 -- 01:12:37,883

Really?

891

01:
12:38,176 -- 01:12:39,576

l look great though, right?

892

01:
12:41,384 -- 01:12:43,024

Okay, is what l meant.

893

01:
12:49,467 -- 01:12:51,027

You made it.

894

01:
12:52,925 -- 01:12:53,835

Come in.

895

01:
13:03,300 -- 01:13:06,260

l think he's disappointed that

you don't have a captain's hat on.

896

01:
13:06,967 -- 01:13:09,087

That's what he was expecting.

Right?

897

01:
13:09,425 -- 01:13:10,745

Come on in.

898

01:
13:18,966 -- 01:13:22,326

l don't know if it suits

a boy your age, but. . . .

899

01:
13:22,716 -- 01:13:23,546

lt's great.

900

01:
13:24,299 -- 01:13:25,569

Thanks.

901

01:
13:26,466 -- 01:13:27,696

Sweet, Garret.

902

01:
13:33,799 -- 01:13:35,839

He's into this mayhem thing.

903

01:
13:36,174 -- 01:13:37,894

l think it's a male deal.

904

01:
13:42,299 -- 01:13:43,939

Garret, thank you.

905

01:
13:44,757 -- 01:13:46,557

She hates chocolates.

906

01:
13:46,965 -- 01:13:48,285

lt's really weird.

907

01:
13:48,590 -- 01:13:49,420

True?

908

01:
13:52,798 -- 01:13:55,358

Yes, but it was very sweet of you.

909

01:
13:55,923 -- 01:13:57,243

Excuse me.

910

01:
14:02,506 -- 01:14:04,466

Thank you.

That's what l really wanted.

911

01:
14:14,298 -- 01:14:16,368

You got to be beat, no?

912

01:
14:20,006 -- 01:14:21,126

l hope this is okay.

913

01:
14:21,422 -- 01:14:23,172

This is fine.

914

01:
14:23,506 -- 01:14:25,576

l mean, this is perfect.

915

01:
14:27,297 -- 01:14:31,287

Tomorrow night, Jason will be at

a friend's house. So. . . .

916

01:
14:32,255 -- 01:14:34,325

Meaning what?

917

01:
14:35,672 -- 01:14:36,902

Shut up.

918

01:
14:38,505 -- 01:14:41,065

-l know this isn't very romantic.

-What?

919

01:
14:41,422 -- 01:14:42,492

This is my life.

920

01:
14:42,797 -- 01:14:44,517

No, this is. . .

921

01:
14:44,838 -- 01:14:46,348

. . .nice.

922

01:
14:46,671 -- 01:14:47,791

lt's nice.

923

01:
14:48,088 -- 01:14:50,158

l just want you to know me.

924

01:
14:50,838 -- 01:14:53,558

Just the day-to-day, regular me.

925

01:
14:55,963 -- 01:14:57,633

You think you know me?

926

01:
15:19,004 -- 01:15:19,834

What?

927

01:
15:20,545 -- 01:15:21,425

What?

928

01:
15:23,878 -- 01:15:25,148

He's not coming.

929

01:
15:28,628 -- 01:15:30,188

But l've come so far.

930

01:
15:37,211 -- 01:15:39,281

l don't even know.

931

01:
15:43,503 -- 01:15:45,093

l'm glad you're here.

932

01:
15:46,711 -- 01:15:48,511

l'm glad l'm here too.

933

01:
16:07,835 -- 01:16:09,345

We're almost there.

934

01:
16:22,460 -- 01:16:23,890

Wait. ls that him?

935

01:
16:24,501 -- 01:16:25,491

That's him.

936

01:
16:28,418 -- 01:16:30,168

Oh, my God.

Don't say a word.

937

01:
16:30,543 -- 01:16:31,663

Hey, buddy!

938

01:
16:31,959 -- 01:16:32,919

What are you doing here?

939

01:
16:35,126 -- 01:16:36,446

Train's pretty cool.

940

01:
16:36,751 -- 01:16:38,071

Can l use the computer?

941

01:
16:42,001 -- 01:16:43,481

Jason wanted to surprise you.

942

01:
16:44,459 -- 01:16:45,809

-Hope it's okay.

-lt's fine.

943

01:
16:46,126 -- 01:16:49,086

lt's only for a minute, then

we'll hop back on that train.

944

01:
16:49,459 -- 01:16:50,889

He's scared of it, Mom.

945

01:
16:52,792 -- 01:16:54,432

l'm not scared of it.

946

01:
16:57,667 -- 01:16:59,497

Annie. Garret.

947

01:
17:02,000 -- 01:17:04,430

This is where l work.

948

01:
17:10,291 -- 01:17:11,771

lt was nice meeting you.

949

01:
17:19,791 -- 01:17:22,991

Well, now l can

picture you on the job.

950

01:
17:27,999 -- 01:17:29,879

So that's him. That's Ahab?

951

01:
17:30,332 -- 01:17:32,162

That's him.

He's no Captain Ahab.

952

01:
17:32,499 -- 01:17:34,059

Smile at him. Be friendly.

953

01:
17:35,999 -- 01:17:37,669

-Friendly people.

-l know.

954

01:
17:37,999 -- 01:17:39,909

He's smiling at her.

That's sweet.

955

01:
17:40,207 -- 01:17:41,877

Oh, behave!

956

01:
17:43,165 -- 01:17:46,635

You're so negative, Charlie.

Don't you want her to be happy?

957

01:
17:48,040 -- 01:17:50,630

She'll smell of haddock

for the rest of her life.

958

01:
17:51,832 -- 01:17:53,632

l don't know what l was expecting.

959

01:
17:53,956 -- 01:17:55,756

l mean, l didn't realize. . .

960

Theresa, this came as

a big surprise to me. . .

963

01:
18:05,831 -- 01:18:07,871

-Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you.
