Everybody's Fine Page #5

-You, too.

It's good to see you.

My God! What a day!

You don't wanna know.

I'm sorry I'm so late.

-Can you believe this?

-Can I believe it?

Well, nothing surprises me

about this guy.

Well, the place

was really crowded today.

I can't believe

I was able to get out of there alive.

Don't just eat your rice.

Make sure you eat your chicken.

Okay?

Let me get you a fork.

You don't know how to use chopsticks?

Yeah, I can use them.

I can use them to beat you at golf,

that's how well I can use them.

-You like making fun of me, don't you?

-Yeah, you're funny.

-Yeah, I'm funny?

-Try this.

Thanks. A fork. A regular fork.

Now I can eat without dropping this

all down my shirt.

Jack, can you pass Dad the chili sauce,

please?

Jack?

No.

-Jack, pass him the sauce.

-I'm not passing anything.

Don't be silly.

I don't really want it. It's fine.

I don't need it.

-You sure?

-Stop asking him.

He's not stupid.

If he says no, he means no.

If he changes his mind,

he knows where it is.

-He can get it himself.

-Jack.

-I'm sorry, Dad.

-That's okay.

So, what are your plans?

Well, I thought that I would stay

a day or 2 or so,

and then head on out to see Robert.

Surprise him on his tour.

That would have been so great.

It's just, this week's really difficult.

I feel awful. I got this huge pitch

to oversee at the agency,

and Jeff's flying out

on business tomorrow.

We should arrange it properly,

another time.

Well, maybe I can just spend time

with Jack?

Yeah, that would have been great, too,

but he starts school again tomorrow,

and then he's off on

a field trip for 3 days.

-A field trip? Where are you going?

-I don't know.

Nobody tells me anything anymore.

Well, you know, look,

that's what happens

when you show up unexpectedly.

I understand. You're busy. That's fine.

Look...

God, I feel awful.

Any other time but this week.

Listen, I've had a good time.

I've seen the house.

I've seen Jeff and you,

and I let this guy beat me at golf,

so all in all it's been a pretty good trip.

-I'm really sorry, Dad. Really.

-No.

I'm gonna call Robert tonight

and find out where he's gonna be at.

I just... He's really busy.

He's on tour, and I just don't know

if it's gonna be possible. What?

No, don't call him,

because I wanna surprise him.

-Okay.

-Promise?

Yeah, promise. Absolutely. Yeah.

I'm putting Dad on the train tomorrow.

He'll be with you in Denver

the next morning.

What? No, I'm rehearsing.

I haven't got time to meet him.

Well, he can't stay here!

I need to get on a flight to Mexico

to see what's going on with David.

Is he okay?

Have you spoken to him?

No, but I got through

to the police today.

No surprise.
