Did you know that coffee was originally

discovered, by a shepherd in Ethiopia?

- You'll say.

- It's true.

It seems his goats were eating berries,

from an unfamiliar bush.

And not for long, they were jumping all

over the place, just having a gay old time.

So the shepherd, took some of the branches

to the local monastery.

Where the Abbots decided to roast them.

The berries started to burn, and the beans

inside gave of a pleasant aroma.

They brewed them in to a stew.

Stew, hah?

And over the next few hundred years,

it spread to Arabia, Europe...

even Sumatra, like that Pooch you got over there.

- It's called Kopi Luwak.

- I know what it's called.

You do?

You wont catch me drinking that sh*t.

- Have you ever tried it?

- No, I'm more of a instant coffee man.

Here... let me...

- Thanks.

- No problem.

You always had those freckles?

As far as I know.

Nice... freckles.

Okay, we've got some pochuto and melons...

some dorado mozzarella and a veal a la card.

I brought some biscuits and...

You sure you wanna eat all that?

That's the plan.

What?

You want Thomas to make you a plate?

- Tommy, fix a plate for...

- Carter.

- First name or last?

- First.

Really? Interesting.

So you want... white?

- No thanks, I'll pass.

- You sure?

Uh... yum, yum.

The best in L.A.

Ain't the best in L.A. no more.

Oh, my God.

I'm thinking it would be better,

just having a heart attack.

- Fellows.

- Mr.. Cole.

Don't pay any attention to me,

I'm just a thug, that's all.

From Kai.

Says, he wants to be a mechanic, like

his granddaddy when he grows up.

I hope you talked him out of that.

I've tried.

- What we got here?

- A Shelby... 350.

- I always wanted one of those.

- Yea, Kai remembered.

Mom seems to think, you're not getting enough rest.

She loves you, Pop.

Okay...

You know ah...

call, when you get the test results back.

If Given ever comes.

Take care.

- Is he your oldest?

- Yea.

- What's he do?

- Mark is a tax attorney.

Here

His brother Lee is an engineer.

Who's the pretty little lady?

That's Rachel, the youngest of the three.

- Big age deferents.

- Yea, well, she was a surprise.

I hardly got the boys out of the house,

when she came along.

She's an outstanding violinist.

You've got kids?

The bags... never stayed very long.

Oh, well... don't worry, I've been married

long enough for the both of us.

How's that going?

- It's going.

- That good... huh?

That's why they invented light switches.

Don't get me wrong, I love being married.

I've been there four times,

the problem is, I love being single too.

It's hard to do'm both, at the same time.

Nobody's perfect.

The only successful marriage I had,
