00:00Hi.
00:16Why wouldn't you let me come and see you in the hospital?
00:19I didn't know you liked hospitals.
00:22What's that got to do with it?
00:23Me?
00:24I hate hospitals.
00:26If you stay in them too long, you can get sick.
00:30The guy in the bed next to me comes in with a broken arm.
00:34Two days later, comes down with this real bad case of yours.
00:37What's yours?
00:38Mine's cold beer. What's yours?
00:41Dumbass.
00:43Sorry about that.
00:50How did it happen?
00:56Shovel and grain.
00:58And the thing that caught my boot.
01:05I remember hearing a scream.
01:07And it was me.
01:10And I remember Dad pulling me out from behind.
01:16All I asked him was if my boot was wrecked,
01:19because I just got them new.
01:26It's amazing how in just a second you can...
01:31Anyway, I wanted to see you about a job today.
01:36Your dad wants you on the farm.
01:41Boy, he doesn't waste any time, does he?
01:44Just because he's your father doesn't mean he might not be right, you know.
01:50Thanks for stopping by.
01:56Are you dismissing me?
01:58I'm sick of this thing sitting here unfinished.
02:02Aaron.
02:03Hey.
02:04I was going to take the gold in Moscow, remember me, huh?
02:08Now I'm not good enough to nursemaid a bunch of kids.
02:11College coaches don't want to know I'm alive,
02:13and my old man wants to plant me here like one of his vegetables.
02:17Go on, okay? You get out of here, okay?
02:21Just leave me alone.
02:23Okay.
