being away from you.

Yeah, I know, I know.

Love you, bud, guy.

All right, okay, well...

Have fun in Florence,

that sounds awesome.

Ciao.

Good one. Miss you.

So, I did some research.

Let's talk 'Napkinola.'

What?

You know, the congressional hearings

in '88 into corruption

in the food services industry.

Mob intimidation, sex for contracts,

some... Some real stuff.

Well... It might be overstated.

But, you worked

for the sentinel services, right?

Thirty-five good years.

They were implicated in the whole thing,

two of the directors went to jail.

Think you know this.

Don't be embarrassed, seriously.

Like, this is really exciting for me,

like, if you gave bribes or sex

or drugs or beatings

or anything that'd be great,

I'd really like to get an A.

We're here.

Hey, what was the deal with these...

These directors Burton and McCloud?

Do you have...

- Do you remember those guys?

- No.

There was...

There was a time

when people had a

notion of time and a place.

The sense of decorum of

what should or shouldn't be said.

Sh*t. Sorry, I...

You're sad.

I'm not sad.

It's really not a big deal if you are.

Honestly, doesn't matter to me. I'm...

I'm not uncomfortable with emotion.

Not that kinda guy.

You think, that's a generational thing?

Being, like,

uncomfortable with emotion?

'Cause, like, your generation's so stoic.

Like, you could have lost 11 buddies

in Nam

but, you'd only cry

if the camera crews show up.

I always thought that was hilarious, like

the families must...

Be like, now he cries.

30 years we have grim, stoic,

drinking problem Dad.

Now we got Tom Hanks here,

and he's like, crying in our scotch.

It's hilarious.

You, okay?

You want some water?

Yeah, get me some water

and there's some pills in the...

On the bureau in the hallway.

Okay.

Kid.

The f***...

Kid.

So nice to meet you.

I should have come over earlier

and introduced myself.

Welcome you to the block.

That's so sweet. No, not at all.

I've been so busy anyway

trying to learn the neighborhood.

I'm in real estate and I keep getting lost.

Bit embarrassing trying to show a client

a beautiful Georgian and then instead

bringing them to a crack house.

Sure you'll get the hang of it.

- Ed.

- Ed.

I've got a doctor's appointment in town.

I was hoping, maybe,

you could drive me there.

Of course he can.

I promise, I'll get him back

for his school work.

He's told me how much his studies

mean to him.

Really? More than he's told me.

You know how boys like to keep secrets.

Well, so, shall we go then?

Ed, you don't need that umbrella.

We're are not in Oregon anymore.

- Okay.

- Okay, we'll see you later.

Hey, so...

Where... Where is your doctor?
