I don't know what they're telling you now, but that's not what I was told already, and that's kind of what I went by.
All right, so.
Yeah, you said that. Yeah. And I'm telling you, that's not what I was promised. Well, how am I supposed to know that? Yeah, thanks for nothing. I'm trying to.
You all right?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Forgive me for saying so, but you don't look fine. Man.
Nothing gets past you. Grandpa can't. You still want to be left alone?
Well, I see a lot of things.
What is that supposed to. You know what? Nevermind.
You know, when I was your age, I had a hot temper. I just used to get furious. I'd get so frustrated. And you know what? At the end of the day, it didn't matter at all. Wow.
I felt like I was there. Why are you telling me this, dude? I'm clearly not interested.
Well, when you've lived as long as I have, you learn to appreciate the little things, the moments that make the memories. You just don't want to miss a thing. You want to remember it all. What's got you so upset anyway?

Life always has a way of working out. When you learn to embrace the pain with the same passion you do the joy. It's when you really start to see the value of being a human. Hey.
Gotcha.
Thank you, dear. One of the biggest things I've learned in life is that if you look for the bad, you will find it. On the other hand, you wake up and just ask yourself, I need one good thing to be thankful for. It's right here, man. It's still beaten. I know your acne sprained, but you can still walk. And this is going to pass. You're going to be all right.
