on the first night.

You can do better, OK?

It's going to be OK.

Sh, little Billy,

it's going to be OK.

I thought after

your race thingy,

we go back to you

doing early mornings.

Yeah, well it turns out that

I'm going to continue to have

to train early mornings.

How come you get to choose?

Because I'm the manager

and I make the schedule.

Oh, it is so hard being

a white American man.

My heart, it bleeds for you.

Why aren't you getting in?

Because I'm not swimming.

Why not?

It's a swimming pool, nothing

bad's going to happen.

They have lifeguards.

Actually, they don't

life guards here.

But that's not the point.

The point is that I

don't want to do it.

So what if I get into

trouble when I'm out there,

all alone on the empty seas?

I'll throw you

a life preserver.

Or you can get someone

else to row for you.

Or you could just not

do the swim at all.

I'll swim next to you, baby.

I'm not doing the swim.

Oh.

OK, never mind.

I thought it'd be fun.

Sorry, I'll just

be two minutes.

Oh, no.

It's OK.

You don't have to come.

What's that now?

I met a girl.

She wants to help me train.

Really?

That's great.

Who is she?

New volunteer at the center,

says she's desperate to help.

Desperate, wow, sexy.

How do I look?

Beautiful, baby.

Thanks, baby.

See you later.

Have fun.

I will.

OK, the way this is going to

work is you follow my pace.

You're basically my eyes.

You don't pull on my arm.

You don't suddenly

change direction.

You just guide.

Right, so I'm like

a very important dog.

That's right, you're

a very important dog.

Thank you.

- Ready?

- Yeah.

OK, let's go.

OK.

How's this?

It's too fast for you?

No, it's good.

OK, good, because it's getting

a lot faster here coming up.

It is?

Oh.

Sorry.

Sorry.

OK, OK.

That's fine.

That's fine.

It's just all the

accolades and trophies

and all that stuff

just doesn't really

end up meaning all that

much at the end of the day.

I mean, I appreciate it.

And it's nice to

walk around and have

everyone know who

I am and stuff,

but it's not that

important to me.

You know?

Right.

I'm spreading the word

about taking care yourself.

I mean, I've been training

on and off for a few years

and so I'm in pretty good shape.

Yeah, you look it.

I just... I just like it.

Just seeing what a difference

it makes to all the kids

makes everything

worthwhile, you know?

Yeah, I think

that's really sweet.

Oh, Rob.

Sorry, did you not

want me to do that?

I'm... you were

touching my hand.

No, I... I know.

You had something

in your sleeve.

Right.

OK, that... it's not

embarrassing at all.

No, it isn't.

Sorry.

This is definitely my fault.
