Yeah, that's not her.

What do you mean?

That's only her in a movie...

a long time ago...

in a galaxy far far away.

What are you looking for?

Um, I'm looking for...

the Father.

Your father?

No, no, just a father.

Any father.

What does a father look like?

There're many different kinds of fathers,

Senor Travis.

Well I just... I just need one.

You think you're gonna find him in there?

Well I don't know where else to look.

Oh I see.

You want to look like a father?

Yeah.

Tell me:

do you want to be a rich father?

No.

- A poor one?

- No.

Eso gonpus.

In between.

No, no, there is no in-between.

You'd either be a rich father,

or a poor one.

Rich.

Bueno, un momento.

- Que Tal, eh?

- Esta, Bueno.

OK, one thing you must remember:

to be a rich father, Senor Travis,

you must look to the sky,

and never at the ground.

A little higher.

Eso. Mm-hmm.

Walk a minute.

No, este...

You must walk stiff, Senor Travis.

Con confianza, cme, entiente?

Con respecto.

- Dignity!

- Eso.

Con dignidad.

Mm-hmm...

You got it!

Who is that guy?

You know him?

Yeah, he's my father's brother.

No, they're both brothers.

No, they're both...

they are both fathers.

No, forget it.

Both whos fathers?

My fathers.

H- how how can you have two fathers?

Just lucky I guess.

- Well bye.

- Bye.

That's my Dad's suit.

I mean Walt.

That's OK if you call him Dad.

Yeah, I borrowed from him.

He said it was OK.

What're those pictures?

That's my Dad.

And your grandfather.

What was his name?

- Travis.

- Same as yours.

Where is he now?

He died...

a couple of years after this picture,

in that car.

Oh, he's dead.

Well can you feel

that he's dead?

What do you mean?

You know when he was walking around,

and talking, right?

Yeah.

So, can you feel that

he's gone?

Yeah, sometimes.

I know he's dead.

I never felt like you were dead.

I could always feel you walking around,

- talking, someplace.

- Yeah.

- I feel Mom too.

- You do?

Don't you?

Yeah.

It's me, when I was in the Navy.

You were a General?

No, that's when I was in the band.

A high school band.

And here's you. I like this picture.

Look at that!

That is really wild.

It is wierd when it

when there is water in between...

and then it turns into nothing,

then goes pfew.

Yeah, it's a great picture.

And this is my Mom.

Your grandmother.

I don't know...

It just seems that...

everything has changed

between us so fast,

ever since Travis came.

What's changed?

I'm just afraid.

You're afraid of Travis?

No.

Then what?

Of what will happen to us

if we lose Hunter.

We're not gonna lose Hunter.

Then why do you keep pushing them together?

It's almost as if you wanted him to leave.
