Oh, good, you're all here.
I need to talk to you.

00:00:15,265 --> 00:00:20,142
Your father's been through a lot lately
and he's feeling a little low
3
00:00:20,312 --> 00:00:23,848
because he wants to go back to work
but he can't. It's too soon.
4
00:00:24,024 --> 00:00:28,070
Now, I think he wants to go back to
work because he needs to feel needed.
5
00:00:28,237 --> 00:00:31,986
So, what we need to do
is make him feel needed.

You know, take your problems
to your dad. Let him help you.

Talk to him. Ask his opinion,
his advice. Involve him in your lives.

00:00:41,583 --> 00:00:43,411
Give him something to do,
10
00:00:43,627 --> 00:00:45,455
something that will make him
feel needed.

is why aren't you wearing pants?

He's developmentally challenged.
Uh, he never finished high school.
