Its not true. What about Tom Clancy,

Three people | in the history of literature.

The truth is | I dont care about making money.

I have a burst blood vessel | in my brain.

I could die at any moment, but I keep | plugging away day after day...

because I want to leave you with | something special-- a business...

a legacy.

- I want my poody! | - Hey, pal, control yourself.

Can you-- | Give me that back.

- I want my poody! | - Wheres your mother?

- Will you get in here! | - Yeah, Im coming!

- Can you get him out of here? | - Okay, okay.

- Doesnt he need a nap? | - Come here.

- We want him to learn some limits. | - Come on.

Stop it!

This is my lifes work here.

When I started out, I had nothing. | Now look at me.

Ive got 8 1 /2 million | square feet in Irvine alone.

Its a goddamn empire, | and I want to leave it to you.

This is the life I want for you.

But what about what I want?

You want to be a writer?

Before that, you wanted to be | a professional surfer...

so its a little hard | to take you seriously.

Fine. I dont want your money.

But just for the record, Dad, | youve never done anything for me.

Its always been about you.

What the--

Its over. I should just drive my car | into the ocean and get it over with.

Was I gonna leave him there? | Hed get killed.

Yeah.

The other night, | I prayed for something too.

What?

I prayed that you wouldnt | get into Stanford.

Why?

I didnt think | it was gonna work.

I was sitting here thinking, | whoa, my prayer was answered.

I should be happy.

I got into OCU, | and maybe you can go to OCU.

You can study creative writing, | and I can study marine biology...

and we can be together.

But I just started feeling | really guilty.

But I just started feeling | really guilty.

I mean, this was your dream, | and Im just being selfish.

I just feel awful.

This is not your fault.

I want to try | and make it up to you.

Thanks, but...

I really dont think | theres anything you can do.

Maybe there is. Tanyas grandfather | is on the board at Stanford.

And Tanyas my friend, | so maybe she can help us.

My grandfather is not gonna | bend over backwards for just anyone.

Please. Cant you just help us?

Cant you see Im busy?

Why dont you go | check on the dog?

Give him some water, okay? | Ill take care of this.

We need to have | a little chat.

Excuse me.

Look, Shauns my boyfriend, | and I would do anything for him...

even if that means | breaking a promise to you.

What promise?

Halloween. | Danas little brother.
