:49:03
How you been?
:49:05
Terrific. Just terrific.
:49:08
I just took a National
Geographic crew out...
:49:11
...to do a piece on the sea lion
rookery before I come up.
:49:14
I get a lot of repeat customers,
and computerized my navigation....
:49:19
Teresa?
:49:20
Teresa and the kids are cool.
:49:21
Joaquin starts kindergarten this year.
:49:24
Great.
:49:26
Listen, someone said
that you were out fishing.
:49:30
Frankie and Lou, they got
a boat, they got a license.
:49:34
They asked me to go out, so....
:49:36
Back in the saddle.
:49:38
So to speak.
:49:46
Sorry I couldn't make it
for the old man.
:49:48
No problem.
:49:50
I had clients.
Hollywood real-estate honchos.
:49:52
Yeah, well, you couldn't make it.
:49:55
I didn't have a ceremony.
:49:57
I did some paperwork
and put up a headstone.
:50:00
You got my check?
:50:01
Yeah, thanks.
:50:04
I called my mom to tell her about it.
:50:07
How'd she take it?
:50:09
Changed the subject.
:50:11
Well, he was who he was.
:50:15
Died in bed, man.
:50:16
I always figured he'd freeze to death in
the parking lot outside of some joint.
:50:21
You know the laundromat at Wrangell?
Where there's a shower?
:50:24
The guys coming off the boats?
:50:26
About three years ago, I was in there.
:50:30
Got my soap, got my towel and back
in the steam, I see this old guy.
:50:36
I say, "That is one
beat-to-hell human being."
:50:39
The guy looks up and it's the old man.
:50:43
That's the last time I saw him.
:50:45
The Old Salt. The Old Prospector.
:50:49
I tell my clients stories
about the old man.
:50:52
Colourful shit.
The tour guide part of the job.
:50:54
How he lost those fingers, and how he,
you know, survived the earthquake...
:50:59
...and all those tidal waves
on that tender.
