youngest human has passed to a woman.

Hey, amigo!
Jasper!
Good to see you. Come on.
JASPER:
You know who did it?THEO:
Islamic? Fishes? F*ck knows.I'll bet it was the government.
Every time one of our politicians
is in trouble, a bomb explodes.
It's the second time in a month.
-You okay?
-It was horrible.
I'm glad you don't take
cream or sugar, amigo.
Losing you and Baby Diego
