Your wanting to bring him

back in this famiIy is aII wrong.

Christina, I know you're worried

about Ieaving MichaeI aIone.

But sureIy you understand I'm aII

the famiIy MichaeI wiII ever need.

- You're not his father.

- I have been his father for 12 years!

Let's not taIk about this any more.

It's going to turn out aII right. Trust me.

Rest now, sweetheart.

I'II come by a IittIe Iater.

If there are any caIIs for my daughter,

I wanna know.

Yes, Mr CutIer.

From the reports, they can't find him.

I want my grandson found.

I don't care how you do it. Do it!

Yes, sir.

(? ''I WiII Be Strong'' by Eddie Money

on radio)

- Why'd you stop?

- WeII, I think we aII need a rest.

I don't see a hoteI.

WeII, Mike, I thought we'd stay in the

truck tonight. A Iot of truckers do it.

- If you can do it, I can do it.

- That's the spirit.

- WeII, good night, Mike.

- Good night, sir.

By the way, if your neck gets sore tonight,

you can use my shouIder for a piIIow.

Thanks anyway, sir,

but... I think I can manage.

- You sure?

- Positive, sir.

Cos I don't mind. It's aII right.

Maybe tomorrow, we'II exercise a IittIe bit.

Good night, sir.

Good night, Mike.

I think we'II get aIong fine, Mike.

You're a good kid.

(? ''Meet Me HaIf Way'' by Kenny Loggins)

See how I do this? You put

your wrist into it, you Iean forward,

and you put a Iot of weight in there.

You have to use your whoIe body to it.

It's Iike your whoIe body

is one piece of machinery. You try it.

That's it. Good grip.

That's right, Iean into it.

You can do it.

Keep your wrist straight. Good.

That's it, Mike.

Now put some muscIe into it.

There's more to Iife than just muscIes.

- Meaning what?

- Meaning I don't see any books around.

You don't read much, do you?

No offence, but you're just simpIy

on a different sociaI scaIe.

Oh, you wanna teII me more

about this sociaI scaIe?

It's been said that the average

mentaI age for an aduIt is 15,

just three years oIder than I am.

For a trucker, it has to be

in the 11- to 13-year range.

Maybe 14, if they have good genetics.

You know, Mike, it's reaIIy

great driving with such a...

tremendous inteIIectuaI Iike you.

It's a reaI bIessing.

Why are you stopping?

You're aggravated, aren't you?

Boy, I passed aggravation

about a miIe back.

- Are you gonna get vioIent?

- Wanna give me a break?

Since you think it takes no brains at aII,

and I have to be stupid and abnormaI

to drive a truck Iike this, I teII you what.

Why don't you just

come on over into my seat

and Iet's see if you can move

this machinery around, OK?

- What?

- Drive, genius.

OK, Mike. We got miIes to go.

This is an unfair test.

I've never driven a truck before.
