Last time I held this,
it was about the size of a pea.

1:12:14
Why weren't you in town
when I got there?

1:12:19
I just couldn't handle things.
1:12:22
Why, was it because I was coming?
1:12:25
Partly, I guess.
1:12:28
Look...
1:12:30
...Jack...
1:12:31
...I know I got a lot
of explaining to do.

1:12:35
Well, I'm listening.
1:12:43
When I got back...
1:12:47
I couldn't...
1:12:51
It wasn't...
1:12:56
Goddamn, it's so hard
to explain what I...

1:13:00
What all of us went through.
1:13:05
What about what I went through?
1:13:08
I never heard a word from you.
1:13:11
Ever.
1:13:13
You just split.
You might as well have been dead.

1:13:16
- I know. I just...
- So I'm not gonna feel sorry for you,

1:13:18
- if that's what you want.
- It isn't.

1:13:21
Well, then what, then?
1:13:23
I wanna be your father again.
1:13:28
I'm 18 years old. What kind of father
can you be to me now?

1:13:31
You think just because you're 18,
you don't need a father?

1:13:34
I need one I can trust.
1:13:35
Not one who's gonna go off
and disappear on me again.

1:13:38
You know, your whole life
has been about disappearing.

1:13:40
- Hey, come on, give me a chance.
- My father?

1:13:43
You wanna be my father?
1:13:46
Goddamn it, look at you.
1:13:51
Man, I don't know.
1:13:53
I don't know. Coming here has
probably been a big mistake.

1:13:56
Maybe Mom was right.
I should have just let it be.

1:13:59
- But I wanted to see you so bad.
- Then it wasn't a mistake.
