:22:08
When I was 11, I got this really weird
earache that wouldn't go away.

:22:13
A hundred doctors couldn't help me...
:22:16
So Leo went into Mexico,
:22:19
and brought back this fat lady
witch doctor who fixed me right up.

:22:24
I was grateful, but I thought
I might've been better off mute.

:22:28
All in all,
I had a very happy childhood.

:22:31
My dad, a border guard, spent his life
trying to stop people crossing lines.

:22:36
For 15 years, he'd smooth down
the road between Mexico and Arizona,

:22:40
and every morning he'd be out there
looking for footprints in the dirt.

:22:44
But my father always said that work
was like a hat you put on your head.

:22:48
And even without pants, you didn't
have to be ashamed of your ass.

:22:54
One thing I was sure about:
:22:57
The moment my parents died,
my childhood was gone forever.

:23:02
Leo could never shake the guilt
of my parents' death 6 years ago.

:23:06
Leo was driving the car that night.
:23:09
It got so bad that he even felt guilty
if he used too much shaving cream.

:23:13
Four days after the funeral,
I caught a train to New York City.

:23:18
If somebody asked me why I don't
take the next train back to New York,

:23:23
it's because you can't say no
to your childhood hero.

:23:26
I decided to be his best man,
but one thing I was sure of:

:23:29
No matter how much I loved
the smell of cheap cologne,

:23:32
I was never going to become my uncle,
and I would never sell Cadillacs.

:23:43
Axel, if I died tomorrow,
where would you be?

:23:58
You're not gonna die tomorrow.
