Christmas Comes Home to Canaan Page #4

for you.

Thank you.

It's my pleasure.

It's the least I can do.

'Night.

'Night.

I found 'em,

and the new popular science

just came in, too.

Well, there's still

plenty of room in here.

Anything else?

Oh, yeah, there's a bunch

of get-well cards

on the sideboard.

Can you

grab those for me?

Yeah.

Hey, sissy,

where's that address?

It's over there

on the hutch.

Hey, sissy...

What's this?

It's nothing.

No, it's an application

for the university

of Texas.

Does pop know

about this?

No.

Just came.

Well, when did you

plan on telling him?

It's just an application.

I'm not sure I'll even

send it in.

I just want to wait till things

settle down a little bit

before I mention it.

Well, I wouldn't

wait too long,

'cause if you are

thinkin' about leaving,

he deserves to know.

Good morning.

Morning.

How you feeling?

Like I've been in a fight

with a freight train.

Probably one of those big

Norfolk southerns

used to roll by my house,

engines all painted up

with stripes,

like a big ol' catfish.

Okay,

I'm going to

start you out easy,

and you let me know

if I'm working you too hard,

and then, I'll work you harder.

- You ready?

- Yup.

Let's get cracking.

Show 'em

what you're made of, son.

Good.

Good.

Let me show you

how to do this.

Hold, just hold

under here.

And two more

of those.

I can't.

Yes, you can.

Just focus, concentrate.

Come on, bud,

you can do it.

One more.

Come on...

Good.

I think that's enough

for today.

Why don't you go have

a long soak in the whirlpool?

You deserve it.

You ready?

Good job, buddy.

I'm proud of you.

You know, I can't

thank you enough

for all

you've been doin'.

It's my pleasure.

I've been trying

to think of some way

to thank you for all your help.

No, that's not necessary,

really.

I was kind of thinking that

maybe I could at least

just take you out

to a nice dinner?

There's this little place

that the guy

at the hotel recommends,

called the fireglow?

That is nice.

You been there?

No.

Well, maybe

we could go together?

Are you asking me on a date?

I-I guess

you could call it that,

I mean, if it ain't

against the rules.

I mean, y'all got that

doctor-patient

privilege rigmarole thing

going on, so...

I don't wanna get you

in no trouble or nothing.

I'm sure we could find a way

to bend the rules.

After all,

you are the boy's father.

I am his daddy, yeah.

Hello?

Hey, sissy.

Dj there?

He's right here.

Dj!

Dad wants to talk to you.

No, actually,

I need the both of you.

Both of us?

Hey, daddy, what's up?

Well, it seems

I got myself a date.

Daddy,

that's wonderful!

Who is she?

She's bobber's rehab doctor.

See, her and bobber
