:37:00
...was the problem.
:37:02
Because after you were born...
:37:05
...I was not man enough...
:37:08
...to take on my responsibilities.
:37:12
And I want to be your father.
:37:16
I realize that your mother was right.
:37:19
You need your father in your life.
:37:23
What, are you crazy or something?
:37:26
Look at me. I'm practically grown.
:37:29
Now you're saying I need you?
:37:33
You know what
my mama went through?
:37:36
My mama taught me
how to ride a bike...
:37:39
...how to tie a tie.
:37:42
She even told me
how to use a condom...
:37:45
...so I wouldn't be a brother
with an unwanted baby, like you.
:37:51
You want to come back
into the picture...
:37:54
...telling me I need you?
:37:55
I don't expect for us
to be great overnight.
:37:59
But...
:38:00
It might even be a few years.
:38:03
But I don't care.
:38:04
Because you are my son.
:38:08
And I am your father and I love you.
:38:12
And you are wanted.
:38:15
And I'm going to face that.
:38:18
You remember when we left...
:38:20
...on the way to Washington
for this trip...
:38:24
...and Jeremiah prayed that we would
be better men after we left...
:38:29
...than we were before we got there?
:38:32
I was praying...
:38:34
...right along with him.
:38:38
And I'm never, ever...
:38:41
...running away again.
