00:0030 years after the anniversary of your dad's unexpected death,
00:04and you are trying to cope with the feeling
00:06that you may never get to be a better dad than he was.
00:09Wow. Wow.
00:10The story just writes itself.
00:11So what?
00:13So what? Fine.
00:14Even if all of that is true,
00:16does that somehow diminish how I'm feeling right now?
00:20Is my doubt less valid than your certainty is?
00:24What do you want from me?
00:27I...
00:29I'm trying to bring you into this conversation.
00:31I don't want to be brought in.
00:32I... I... I don't want to be a father.
00:34I don't!
00:36I don't want this for me.
00:38I am too old for this.
00:40I don't want to be an old dad.
00:43And I'm going to be working all the time.
00:45I don't want to be an absent dad.
00:49If you feel compelled to look at this,
00:51then do it.
00:53But know that you're not doing this for us.
00:55I'm doing this for you.
00:56And what does that mean for us?
00:59What are you saying?
