that snatched him away from them.

The two sides of this family

have never integrated well...

so don't expect to make a lot of friends

when you go there.

- Drew doesn't make friends, Mom.

- I have friends.

- Do you have the blue suit?

- I have the blue suit.

He loved that silly blue suit.

God only knows

if I made him truly happy.

I'll call from Kentucky.

I'll be there in the morning.

- We have a plan!

- We have a plan...

and you hold your head up high...

because don't you forget, you go back

there as the most successful man...

in the history of this family.

Don't let them try anything.

Oh, my God. I have to call people.

I have to clean out the office,

I'm a widow!

We'll figure this out, we'll figure this out.

Just get Dad home. Hurry.

I was still waiting for everything to start,

and now it's over.

I'll bring him home.

Wait, wait! Stay close.

Come, come, come.

Now, what was it that Dad always said?

- If it wasn't this...

- It would be something else.

Now, you go.

You go and you make him proud.

And you call and tell me

what's going on, okay? All right.

I would go to Kentucky...

put my father in the blue suit,

bring him home...

and then get back on that bike.

Nothing would stop the plan.

Sir.

Sir.

By flying this flight,

you've helped save all our jobs.

Definitely mine.

Maybe even the entire airline.

We would like to reward you

with a free seat in first class.

I'm fine.

Okay, let me try it like this.

I'm really tired.

Please don't make me keep walking...

all the way back down here

all night long.

Louisville, Kentucky, huh?

Home, business, or family?

My dad.

Where does he live in Louisville?

Actually, he's near Louisville.

Louisville.

He's in Elizabethtown.

Oh, good.

I hope someone's driving you...

'cause the roads around there

are hopelessly and gloriously confusing.

I'll keep that in mind.

I'll draw you a quick map.

I mean, I'm so happy we're sitting here

having this conversation...

at 3:
00 a.m., or whatever time it is.

You know, it's such a great time.

Everyone's sleeping but us.

It's really nice to have a conversation

with you and that you're really listening.

I feel like I can really talk to you...

So, you want to get to 264,

and then you want to not miss 60B.

I'm going to be obnoxious about that.

Bens are strangely delightful

and very intuitive.

Complex. Almost too complex

to be around.

- Do you know any Bens?

- I know one Ben.

I'm a student of names.

For example, what's your dad's name?

Mitchell.

- Mitchell.

- Yeah.

Or Mitch?

Mitchell. Sometimes Mitch.

Son of a Mitch.

And today I was fired by a Phil.

Phil? Phils are dangerous.

Phils are less predictable than Bens.
