[Music]

nobody's here it couldn't be pictures of

the cliffs could it from what we know

about Paul Forrester well maybe this

isn't the place hold it Forrester I

think this is the place so you came back

huh

yes for another song and dance no to

take pictures a little late aren't you

this isn't a zoo Forrester we're not an

exhibit yeah you can't treat people like

dirt just because the squatters I

remember right you said it was important

for you to come out take pictures of us

we mean you don't understand see he got

tied up we get all [ __ ] and we don't

hear anything for three months that's

why I have to take the pictures come on

get out of here

squatter's people with no homes they

live wherever they can even if I'm not

supposed to be there I'd like to see

where these people live I think the man

was pretty clear on that issue maybe

Paul Forrester was right maybe this is

an important story besides if I don't

take the pictures how am I gonna pay him

a bar tab why don't you take a picture

of a rock or a cactus something that

doesn't shoot back

I'm a total and complete wreck all I can

think about is you and me together

together together I couldn't sleep a

wink last night thinking about us all

the plans that we made I was so afraid

you seems so distant last night almost

like a different person was in there hmm

that's Scott I'll bet still plan it fast

and loose huh buddy who is it you know I

think I could really get used to this

Scott this is Jake's wife Cathy Lawton

this is my son Scott you are what my son

he's 14

I thought I knew everything there was to

know about you I think I'm gonna go get

dressed

it's nice meeting you why didn't you

tell me three months ago how could I

should I ask who his mother is Jenny

Hayden

are you in love with her I was but I

haven't seen her for a long time I'm

surprised and I'm not surprised you're

responsible louse I was asking for this

the same craziness that drew me to Jake

are you in love with Jake I haven't seen

the Jake lot and I was in love with for

a long time either I saw him last night

I know what you mean

Jake Lawton the way he was always

charging into a new battle may the lens

and Jake the pen you know you weren't

talking like this three months ago you

wouldn't even talk to him then three

months ago was different you bet so

where does this leave us where does it

leave me you know I have no intention of

being another one of your trophies you

want a souvenir a Phoenix

all about

Paul Forrester was a very strange person

everywhere I go people are either

kissing him or hitting him

life on the road he wanted to follow

your dream and you did I did something

else but I am worth a lot of Moo and

it's all safe in the bank you have Moe

me of all the things I haven't done

what I want to talk about is Kath

I've been saving this for you I don't

want it I don't blame you especially

this one jammed up on you with a bayonet

heading right for your gut but I was

there when that's very interesting I had

it made into a lighter as a memento of

the link between us

I saved your life buddy now I'm calling

in my marker I don't understand I don't

care how much either of us has changed

over the years I know you and I know I

can count on you and I want you to

promise that if anything happens to me

or if I should disappear can you

disappear

I may have to I can't say anymore you're

gonna have to trust me just like we used

to trust each other back in the good old

days remember what this means between us

your promise that you will take care of

Kat I don't get it I went with you

before why can't I go now I didn't know

why don't you just switch to another

body get rid of this Forrester guy

become Joe Montana Tom Selleck or

somebody like that can't by the time I

regained the energy necessary to do this
