How did you do? Spitshine these?

I can get you a job in the airport doing that.

You want to trade these new boots

for those old boots?

Yeah, you can wear them.

Thank you.

Travis.

I have to rush out to get

Hunter to school on time.

We will be back this afternoon.

Walt's office number is on the dining room table.

See you later.

- OK.

- Bye.

- Anne.

- Yeah?

I was just think maybe uh...

I could meet Hunter after school

and we could walk home together,

if he wants to.

Uh, that sounds like a great idea, Travis.

Walk home?

I don't want to walk home, Mom.

- Why?

- Nobody walks, everybody drives.

Come on Hunter, it won't hurt you to

walk home once in your life.

No, no, I don't want to.

Travis, I insist! It's

what you're looking forward.

Eveybody will see me!

Walt can tell you how to get there.

It is not far.

Get in the car, Hunter.

We are late it is.

You're mean.

- Can I come with you?

- Sure.

I'm really sorry about this, Travis.

It's not easy for him, Anne.

Anne it's OK. He's in here.

What're you doing?

Driving.

Where to?

Just driving.

You're not hiding out in there, are you?

No.

Hunter,

Travis is your real Dad.

You know that, don't you?

Dad, when are they gonna

make spaceships like they...

make cars?

Hunter, I'm asking you a question.

Can you answer it?

What?

Well, Travis went to meet you at school,

and he wanted to walk you home.

Nobody walks.

That's not the point.

Travis is your real Dad and...

he wants to talk to you.

Why?

What about?

OK, come on, let's go have dinner.

Come on.

Hey Trav,

do you remember the time that Anne and me

came on a visit to you about five years ago?

No.

You and Jane were down in

Texas right there on the coast.

Hunter was about three.

Don't you remember that?

No.

I remember. We went fishing.

Yeah.

I took some super8 on that trip.

And I put it all together.

Thought maybe you might like to see some of them.

What is it?

Movies. You know, super8.

- Oh!

- Walt,

maybe Travis doesn't want...

What?

Well, maybe he'd like to wait a while

before he looks at it.

You know, it's up to him.

I just thought maybe he'd like to see some of it.

Movies? Sure.

Great!

There's some great stuff on it.

Some great shots of Hunter in it.

I've already seen it.

Well, you have to see it again.

Come on, help me set up the projector.

OK.

That's me driving.

I know you're gonna be good.

Time for bed now, Hunter.

Oh, Mom!

Don't complain.

It's past 10.

- Good night, Dad.

- Good night, baby.

Good night, Dad.

Do you think he still loves her?

How would I know that, Hunter?

I think he does.

How can you tell?

The way he looked at her.

You mean when you saw him in the movie?
