needed to move on

so she left Tim for grad school.

lt was pretty sad. Poor Tim.

No! Not poor Tim!

Why is this the first time

l'm hearing about this?

Don't yell, he'll hear you!

l don't care!

Wait...who'll hear me?

Tim!

He's downstain with Ramona.

WHAT?

Did you finish your homework?

And the police took 45 minutes to show up!

l could've walked to the station by then.

Did you ask Bob about his math test?

He had a math test?

l'm sure he's fine.

He can take care of himself.

The one l'm worried about...

...is the other, bigger kid!

Sometimes l wish l could...

be closer to him.

Really?

Even though we live

in the same house...

...sometimes l feel like l'm

living with a stranger.

What about this...

Take him out, just the two

of you now and then.

One week do something that he likes...

the next, do something you like to do.

You don't mind being left alone like that?

Of course not! l've got plenty

of work to do.

l don't know how you'll hold up...

Get ready to spend lots of time

at the dinosaur museum.

Really? Him too?

Of coune!

Ever since he was a kid, that's all

he ever talks about!

Wait a minute.

Aren't we talking about Bob?

Let's skip the concert and

go home early.

Jimmy and Bob are out for Halloween,

so we'll have the place to ourselves...

That's a good idea.

l actually need to catch up

on a bunch of invoices.

Let's go home.

Should we get this to go?

Hey gorilla!

Hey gorilla!

How was trick-or-treating?

All right.

How'd his costume work out?

l thought he was going as a ghost.

We have a problem!

l forgot!

-Forgot what?

l forgot l was supposed to take him.

Bob's gone!

He just left Bob here?

l have done eveything for you.

Eveything!

The one time l ask you for anything,

you go and lose my son!

Where did you go?

Eveyone was womied!

Remember when he worked on

a crab boat in Alaska?

He was gone forever.

That's true...

lt's just been so long with no word...

l can't help but woy!

Hold on just a second!

So how's school going?

l see.

What else were you doing today?

For all of the many troubles

l've caused you...

...l offer my sincerest apologies.

You've said that six times already.

Where are you living right now?

ln an apartment.

Actually...in the closet at work.

l see.

The reason l've come here today...

l've landed ajob showing dinosaurs

to tourists in Montana.

Until l start, l'd love to see Aiko and Bob

And l'd like to move back in.

One last time.

Your sister won't be home until later...

...so be prepared for the water works.

And one more thing.

Don't forget our agreement.

Yes, sir.

l've got something to attend to.

l'll be back later.

Let's get to work.
