It's kinda something my,

parents always wanted for me.

I mean that was the plan...

Before.

Ouch. Mid-move even.

Can't believe you're telling

me this in a seedy hotel room.

A seedy hotel.

This is like our go-to.

In the middle of

some podunk town.

This is right in between us.

Like what, you want to go

back to your, your place

and do this with your

roommate like two feet away?

She might want next game.

Your turn.

You just gonna shut

off every time this comes up?

Hmmm?

Stop.

Come on.

Hey, mister!

You know if my mom saw those...

Yeah.

What's, what's with you tonight?

What's with you?

You're picking on me.

I am? No, I'm

crazy about you.

And your star tattoos.

Now you're making fun of me?

I'm not making

fun of you. I'm crazy about you.

So you still going back to,

going back home for...

For holiday break?

Unfortunately.

I feel like I should.

At least be a sport.

You could come with me,

unless you have to...

Yeah, I probably shouldn't.

I don't know, I just

want everything to run

smooth through Christmas.

It's only like two weeks, right?

I just feel like my dad

barely knows I'm there.

You know, like ever

since my mom died he's all

about work and

we just barely talk.

He sends checks to school.

I go home for holidays.

We check those boxes.

Probably keeps him

going though. Enjoys his time.

It's good of you

to see him. It sucks losing

a parent. I think god provides.

Well, aren't you cute?

I don't know what I'm doing.

You a college student?

Sorry?

You guys on your winter break?

Yeah, headed

home for the holidays.

You know when I

was in school, we didn't...

I said when I

was in school, we didn't have

all the breaks

that you guys have.

No?

No, we had,

we had, Christmas break.

I guess now it's

called holiday break, huh?

Mmhm. Well, even

with all the breaks,

I'll still be doing

plenty of studying.

Not too much.

You have some fun too, you hear?

My hands are too antiquated

for those new machines. Oh look

at, arthritic and fat fingers,

like a bear paw.

Just blame it on

the auto correct.

On the what?

The auto correct.

You know, when it tries to...

I, I don't know what that

means, but hell, I'll take it.

Okay.

You are a cutie.

Mmmm...

I'll go over to the hospital

administrator for her

release to us then.

I told the boy.

Boy?

Her boyfriend.

She had a boyfriend?

Has, Roy. She has.

What'd you tell him?

It was me. I told

Sofia to tell him to

say his goodbyes.

Goodbyes?

- As far as he knows.

- You know man, for closure.

Well, couldn't

you just have told

him visiting hours are over?

You see, this is why

you have me do these things.

It's probably

appropriate that Sofia did it.
