And everybody was out there asking me

where you were. What am I supposed to say?

- Just f***ing call me back.

- Ignition.

And we have liftoff

of the Voyager 1 spacecraft,

on its deep space expedition.

Launched in September, 1977.

Voyager 1 was sent by NASA

to study the outer solar system.

New York is a crazy place.

I used to take the subway all the time,

but then last month

I was waiting for the train,

and I'm sitting next to this

cute little old rasta man.

And I thought 'oh,

what a cute little old man.'

then I looked down and I realized

he was jerking off.

- I'm back to cabs.

- I'm late for work.

- It's Sunday.

- She always works on Sundays.

Yeah, when Dad wakes up,

make sure he takes his meds.

The list is on the fridge, okay?

And can you walk Friday?

- Got it.

- Okay. I love you.

The waterfall. Look at the colors

he has in the waterfall.

Blue and green. So cool. Right?

- Hey, Billy.

- Hey, Al, what's going on?

- Have you seen George around?

- No, I haven't seen him.

- Okay. Thanks.

- Everything alright?

Yeah. Yeah, everything's fine. Thank you.

Okay. Take care.

Hey, this is George, leave a message.

The science of managing wildlife

in a land full of people is new.

And scientists know if they're not careful,

helping one species could harm another.

That's the subject from our next story

from Centennial Valley.

Dean Schofield, NPR news.

These are really good.

- You don't have to say that.

- I'm being serious.

Okay.

Who's the hottie?

Come on, who is she?

What? You have such a crush.

Yes, you do. What's her name?

- Rain.

- Oh, Rain. Do you like her?

You should show her these.

If a guy drew me like this,

forget it. Forget it.

Okay, okay.

Madam will have her coffee here.

Where's the cream...

where's the cream? Where's the...

Well, in here it says, 'is the coffee

ready.' I don't know if... Yeah.

First you say 'is the coffee...'

Madam will have her coffee here.

Can I just... ask you something?

When you called Lily...

to come, I mean, why did you do that?

You know, I thought it'd be...

You know, nice to get the family together.

I always like that.

Is that the only reason, or...

'Cause I'm trying.

I...

You just got a lot going on... Alex.

But, you know, it's your...

it's your job. I mean...

I understand. I...

I understand.

You've always been that way.

Even in school you were ambitious.

You'd get your work done

a month in advance, and...

you now, and be asking for more and...

Is that a good thing?

I don't know where you got it.

I don't know if it's a good thing.

Well...

you'll figure it out.

You always do.

Hey, Al, come here, check this out.

- Hey, Josh, let me get a shot of that.
