You were.

He told me.

Anyway, that's how

our connection started.

And I thought when he...

got out of jail, it would...

you know, be different.

That it would dissipate.

Well...

So...

what about you and Dad?

Honey, I don't know what's

gonna happen with me and Dad.

But I need you to know...

that you are the most important

thing in the world to me.

And it just kills me that I

hadn't been there for you

the way

that I should have been.

I'm hoping you'll give me

a chance to try to fix it.

I can't believe you did

all that work in there.

I'm...

I mean, I can believe

you did it.

I just can't believe that I

didn't know anything about it.

All right.

Here are your fries.

- Thanks.

- Bye.

You do it?

No.

Then why are you smiling?

- I'm not.

- Did you do it?

- I'm not.

- Chris, did you f***ing do it?

I did not do it.

I'm just... I'm...

It's kinda cool.

Yes. Uh, in the middle

of my living room

there's a series of chairs

stacked up on each other.

It's together...

They put it together with some sort

of tape or something like that.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm sorry to bug you

at work.

Is this a bad time?

No, it's okay.

I'm due for a break.

Um...

How are you?

I'm good. Um...

Got a job.

Yeah. Yeah, I heard.

It smells nice in here.

- Yeah, it's Timothy hay.

- Mm.

It's, um, it's the sweetest.

Um, how are you doing?

How is everybody?

Uh... Good.

You know, uh...

Hildy's talking to me,

which is nice.

That's good.

Tom moved out.

I'm sorry.

So I've been

thinking about you, um,

a bit over

the last few weeks.

I hear what you say about

wanting a simple life.

I get it.

I understand that.

Completely.

But, um,

that's what I've had.

You know?

You go to work,

you come home,

you have dinner,

you watch TV, you know...

I feel like I'm just

getting started.

I want more.

I loved the work that I did

to help you get out.

It felt important.

It felt like it mattered.

I felt like I was good at it.

I wanna do more of that.

Like I was...

I was thinking

when Hildy goes off

to college next year,

maybe I'll even

move to Seattle,

be closer to the offices

there and the work.

Why not, you know?

I'm...

I'm totally free now.

Wow.

I can see why

that can be so...

great for you.

I wonder, um,

would you wanna

have lunch sometime?

Maybe see if we can

try to get to know each other...

as we are now?

Yeah.

Of course.
