I'm right here, man.

Richard, open the door!

- Hey.

- There's a gas leak. Can't you smell that?

What are you doing, Richard?

Why would you do that?

She died.

My mother finally died.

It's okay.

It's hot.

I feel like an idiot.

All the sh*t I've dealt with,

and the thing that gets me

is I can't get some mentally ill woman

I barely know to ever love me.

Well, that's not your fault.

She's the one that was damaged.

And she missed being close

to a really great person.

What are you doing here, anyway?

I was worried about you.

And I came to thank you.

If not for you, I wouldn't be

as happy as I am now.

I don't think that's a compliment.

No, it is, it is.

I learned a lot from you.

And I came to apologize.

I never told you how glad I am

that you're a part of my life.

So after spending my whole life

trying to prove myself

to someone that was not capable

of accepting me,

I finally realized I actually had

something in common with my mother,

that neither of us much cared

whether or not I lived.

But I didn't like that.

So I did what she could never do.

I accepted myself.

Two years ago,

the Americans with Disabilities Act

was passed through Congress.

And last week it became a reality.

Congratulations. You did that.

My teacher, Mr. Parks, would say

that I've been able to find my music.

Now does that mean that I became

a superhero? No, I don't think so.

Although, I do like to wear spandex

and a cape around the house sometimes.

The differences that you make

that are the ones of lasting importance,

they're the little differences that

you make in the life of another person.

And all of these people

that I got to tell you about tonight,

they all made a difference in my life,

and I can only hope that somehow

I made a difference in theirs.

And that after years and years and years

of trying to become larger than life,

I'm now working on maybe

being a little smaller.

Hey, you're late.

Blow me, Ironsides.

Last one in pays.

All right, easy there, Andretti.

Come on, cowboy.

Two?

Please.

Follow me.

Is this one okay?

Yeah, if you're big tippers.

He's paying,

but he's a cheap son of a b*tch.

But if you play your cards right,

you could have a ride on my chair, baby.

He says I'm buying

and I'm a cheap son of a b*tch,

but if you play your cards right,

you can have a ride in his chair.

Honey, only if you promise to go real fast.

No, thank you.

I think we know what we want.

Yeah.

You got a live one, Honeyman.

Yeah.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Well, that's the slowest service

I've ever seen.

It only took us 20 years to get these.

Be cool.

You're gonna get us arrested again.

And I probably wouldn't mind.

I think he likes it.

Oh, yeah.

So, I guess this one's mine, huh?

Happy birthday to you

You've gotta be kidding me.

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, dear Richard

Happy birthday to you

Hey, come on, make a wish.

Yeah.

- Hey, Richard.

- Yeah?

There's something I have

always wanted to ask you.

What's that?

Does this wheelchair

make my butt look big?

I'll see you around, Art.

Yeah.

Everyone pretends there's

nothing there to reach for

Why am I knocking on your door?

It never opened for me before

Up against the glass

I wonder what it's like

For ordinary people

Running through your life

Don't you wanna fly?

Ordinary people

Why am I knocking on your door?

It never opened for me before

Sometimes I feel

I shouldn't be, I couldn't be

Sometimes I feel

I shouldn't be here

You go the other way

I thought I heard you say

You wish you'd never come

Tearing through the time

Would you try to right

the wrong that has been done?

Why am I knocking on your door?

It never opened for me before

Sometimes I feel

I shouldn't be, I couldn't be

Sometimes I feel

I shouldn't be here

Is everybody lost before they're found?

I don't wanna be forgotten this time around

No, no, no

Sometimes I feel

I shouldn't be, I couldn't be

Sometimes I feel

I shouldn't be here

I shouldn't be here

Sometimes I feel

I shouldn't be, I couldn't be

Sometimes I feel

I shouldn't be, I couldn't be

Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't be

Sometimes I feel like I couldn't be

Sometimes

Sometimes

Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't be here
