23 messages?

I've heard more from my
father in the past week

than the entirety of my life,

and not one of these
messages is about me.

Okay, but tonight is about you,

so put your phone away and let's focus

on the birthday boy.

Okay, I'm sorry.

I'm just so tired of talking
about Albert, Albert, Albert.

- (CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
- Albert.

♪ You take the weight off of me ♪

Oh, you've gotta be kidding me.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Hit it, Albert!

All right.

♪ ♪

I get it, you know?

Sometimes you gotta put a little mileage

between yourself and home

so you figure out what
you want and who you are.

Hell, if I had enlisted,

I'd still be working with my pops.

Eddie, don't encourage
him to go off to war.

There is as much virtue
to the noble warrior

as there is to the most
enlightened of scholars.

That. What he said.

Listen, everyone has their path.

You just do you, Albert.

I will.

I will do me.

Yeah, might wanna watch how
you phrase that one, buddy.

ALBERT: I just need a little
of my brother's courage.

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

You know, he did not let
father dictate his life.

He took a stand, got out.

Came to America to follow his dreams.

♪ ♪

There was no stand.

I didn't get out. I was left behind.

Chim.

See, most of my life,

all I wanted was for him to see me,

to be proud of me,

be proud to call me his son,

but no matter what I did,

I was always invisible.

Because you are the only
son that he cares about.

You have all his attention,

all his love,

and you just walked away from it all,

which I guess is easy for
you because you've never had

to work for it.

No, everybody...

everybody loves Albert.

This entire table is proof of that.

You do not know what my
life was like at home.

I know you have always had a family,

and I have always been
trying to piece one together.

Well, these people are all that I have.

You don't get to take them, too.

I do not wish to take
anything from you, Howard.

I'm your brother.

You are not my brother.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I had a brother. His name was Kevin.

And he died.

Do you see, Albert?

You didn't come to me because
you wanted to be my brother.

You came to me because you
needed something from me.

Buck. I'll tell him.

What was all that?

(EXHALES)

Me working out my childhood trauma

on some kid who doesn't deserve it?

Oh, no, that part I got.

But the part about everyone
liking Albert more than you?

- That is just crazy.
- My father does.

(CHUCKLES)

We were never close.

Even when we lived in the same house,

he was always at a distance,

and I spent years trying
to bridge that gap,

and finally I gave up.

I told myself he just wasn't
interested in being a father.

Turns out he just wasn't interested

in being a father to me.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I don't know what his
relationship is with Albert.

Neither do you.

I know that there is one.

It can't be a good one.

Otherwise he wouldn't have
shown up on your doorstep

the way that he did.

I am back where I belong.

Did he ever tell you why
I don't live with you guys?

It's a funny story, if you wanna...

CHIMNEY: So...

Pop got relocated here
when I was maybe five.

Gig was supposed to last two years.

We stayed six.

When it came time to go back to Korea...

(SCOFFS)

My ma didn't wanna go.

She loved it here,

and she wanted to stay, and
I wanted to stay with her.

Sure you can imagine how that went over.

Like a metal balloon.

(CHUCKLES) Lead balloon, but yes.

So he went back to Korea without us.

Guess he figured she'd
come to her senses.

- But she didn't?
