I guess we're just

all missing you,

but we'll see you later.

Okay.

Okay.

Alright, I love you!

Bye.

When you're 46 years old

a lot of things start happening.

You get hair where

you don't want it...

And not where you do.

Smells come off you

in strange places.

Cheers.

That was amazing.

- It's not too late

for you to come.

To L.A?

I can't.

I can't!

You were fantastic tonight.

Want me to walk you to your car?

Yeah.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

What happened?

Where's my family?

Where are my kids?

I want to see my kids!

Yeah.

There you go.

to see my daughter-in-law

in the morning?

- I'm sorry, what was

your daughter's name?

Kelly Conrad, in 27... 127...

What happened?

Looks like a car accident.

Was anybody else hurt?

- I can't be sure,

but we'll find out.

Dave?

David?

Come out here!

That drunk driver

is in that room.

Right there.

He's in that room

right next to your wife!

Who's in charge here?

I want him moved, right now.

Get him out of here.

Are you in charge here?

Who is in charge here?!
