from a magazine are you going to take

dr. Goodman's picture yes yours too if I

may

how many evenings a week are you here as

many as it takes these people have a

right to a dignified death when I was in

Nam I saw his senseless unclarified kind

of dying there is you were there you

know what I'm talking about

Phil Avery says that all you care about

are your swimming pools and your

Mercedes these days I'm not ashamed of

the things I own I worked hard for them

and I haven't built my career at anyone

else's expense what do you mean you know

damn well what I mean where were you

tonight we got busted where was Avery oh

did you forget the Santa Barbara 12

started out as the Santa Barbara 14

while the 12 of us were being handcuffed

you and Avery were busy launching your

careers out of our commitment to what we

believed in when you saw those pictures

foster you sold us oh that didn't take

what what do you want I came to see Paul

we had to go out for a minute

oh wait I didn't say you could come in

what I'm in as you know where we were no

big secret you've been following us

around haven't you

and maybe I have oh is that why you were

such a palace today at the wharf she

could worm your way into me my dad hey

you invited me along today in case you

forgot well now I'm inviting you to take

a hike hey I can be if I want to look

man why don't you could button even

you're not one here hands off me

[Music]

shoving me

daddy's been following us but you buck

out man he's my dad yeah where's my dad

too

[Music]

what how could he be your dad

mom his name was Joanna Joanna Daniels

Joanna Daniels I figured you wouldn't

remember she said you had a lot of

girlfriends back then that's why she

never told you about me she knew she

couldn't tie you down she told you that

I was your father

no she had it her way I still wouldn't

know I found out last year the night

they said on the news it some

photographer named Paul Forrester had

miraculously escaped death was the

helicopter crash yeah my mom started

crying she ran out of the room Tom went

after they started yelling and I

overheard everything how you were my

real father how she knew you'd never

marry her so she married him Tom Kendall

it seemed like my whole life up till

then it's been a lie

guy I thought was my father it was a

total stranger I didn't know who I was

anymore

[Music]

sorry had to find out about it that way

and I'm sorry I had to blurt it out like

this I wanted to kind of lead up to it

you know I mean this probably blows you

away just like it didn't mean yes it

does it's past few months all I thought

about is you and if you could like me I

do like your then let me stay here take

me on the road with whoa wait a minute

wait a minute the guy I wouldn't be any

problem I've got some money my own - I

can't take you with me

why not I'm gonna take him with you and

I'm just watching your son as he

look I know it's not gonna be easy

taking out another kid but I'm not going

back there okay

[Music]

all right if you hear anything give me a

call I've called all his friends no one

seems to know where he is

let's not overreact okay the last time

he did this we were all set to call the

police then he came strolling in as if

nothing had happened damn is Jonah I

don't know how much longer I can handle

this no matter what I say to him he

snaps at me he's rude to you and when he

isn't God knows where he's up in the

damn attic what is you up there anyway

he says he needs space for himself time

to think and read I don't know damn

funny place to read where are you going

Tom there's nothing up there but dust

and old Fox's parents are gonna be all

alone when you split huh yeah Tom will

love it

who's Tom your father hey don't say that

you know my father is what about your

mom she'll get over it and my mom had to

give me up when I was three

Eric I know you want to stay with me go

out on the road with us but I can't let

you do that I just want to be with my

real father for once you've got a father

and a mother you belong with them I

think maybe we got to take you home now

I'll be worrying about you they don't

care about me

neither do you

nobody cares about that's not true we

all care hey you better think twice

about taking me over Tom's a pretty

rough guy and he already hates your guts

Eric

sort of feel sorry for him it's like I

kind of know some of what he's going

through

I feel sorry for him too

I think I understand how his father must

be feeling

I don't want anyone to be hurt any more

than you already have been what do we do

we have no choice

believe after we take our comb Bill

Avery will just have to send us the

money

reward of his fathers as tough as Eric

says don't worry about it

Joe look

[Music]

oh my god

look who's back in town what is this

it's a shrine

anything missing her candles

Eric open up man I gotta get some stuff

out of there Eric

[Music]

Eric

[Music]

[Music]

you

[Music]

you were leaving a town like Santa

Barbara where would you go the freeway

we'll check all the on ramps and see if

he's hitchhiking Forster I'm gonna cut

you we have a problem

old pal can it wait no it can't we have

a major reshoot here this trash is

unworthy of you you blew it completely I

don't know I think that one's pretty

good dad come on let's go let's talk

about this tomorrow okay

not okay listen to me we're up against a

deadline what is this a bunch of Chicano

kids drawing pictures

those are Kristina's students students

wake up Paul the lady belongs to the

Bahia Mar Country Club her kids go to

private school she wouldn't give free

lessons with a court order bill we have

to go wait a minute

you had an assignment me what am I

supposed to do with these bleeding-heart

snapshots a truck picking up a load of

food now what does that have to do what

Dennis Lambert Dennis Lambert gives food

to those people that need it what the

hell has happened to your sense of

reality you let this bunch of phonies

tell you a public-relations number is

that it they didn't sell me anything

this is what I saw they still care these

people haven't changed bill they still

want to help I guess you haven't changed

either that is the truth maybe you

better take another look

you're crazy I don't know you anymore

you're not the same guy you were in 71

man it's also true

I just that means we don't get paid

right there's a bright side

really you forgot to ask for the car

back

this it it's a phone book is right that

must be Eric's other father out front

huh

he doesn't look so bad what are you

doing looking for Eric

[Music]

[Music]

oh I get it he knows where Eric is knows

but he doesn't know him

[Music]

so why don't you just tell him that

you're not Paul Forester if I did that

if I told him that in here I wasn't his

father he would grieve and then he would

go back to Tom but for the wrong reasons

do you understand yeah I guess so being

a father is something that that lives in

your heart and it grows over a long

period of time I mean there was a time I

couldn't even call you dad

I remember but I mean see back then we

didn't know each other

it's different now though because things

have changed because we've been through

so much but that's the same for Eric and

for Tom yeah I guess I mean if what's

been hard for him though I mean thinking

all those years well it's kind of the

same thing as me taking those

photographs of all those people for Bill

Avery maybe maybe they didn't look the

same and maybe they didn't do the same

things necessarily anymore but down

inside in their hearts there was still

the same people and it hasn't changed in

16 years

I get it it's gone

yeah

how am i doing I mean being a father

you're okay thanks

Eric

how'd you find me your dad gave me an

idea of where you might be look I keep

telling you he's not my father

so forget it I'm not going back there

man you're being stupid you can't make

it on your own I've been there

yeah well learn I'll get a job or

something what about your mother she'll

get along I mean she's got him right

everybody's got somebody you to them too

you don't want me that's fine talk I'm

gonna die because of it all right Eric

you win I can't just leave you here you

want to travel with us let's go

you mean it sure dad wait a minute what

about him

hey him has a name he'll be alright dad

what are you doing you really mean it I

can go with you I said you can one thing

though you're going to have to tell your

parents

sure I'll ride him no you're gonna have

to tell him okay let's find a phone no

sorry

you're not gonna sneak off on this if

you want to travel with us we'll go over

to your house and you can tell them

you're leaving why

somehow I never pictured you with a son

besides Eric I mean I always imagine

what it would be like when you found out

it was never anything like this that was

a long time ago

we're not the same people no we're not

thanks for bringing him home well I

didn't exactly bring him home he has

something that he wants to tell you

isn't it right Eric yeah I'm going with

them he said it was okay well I didn't

say it was okay you know if you think

I'm gonna let you get away with this

you're nuts I've been expecting

something like this for 15 years if you

think you're gonna come into my home and

take my son I know how you feel I feel

the same you've had him for a long time

well if that's what he wants to do we're

not going to keep him here by force Tom

you can't Joe wait

well we better get going yeah I'll go

pack some things uh what things you know

my baseball glove picture stuff like

that well the truth is we travel around

quite a lot so what you're wearing will

be just fine yeah yeah okay um besides

he hates sports especially baseball

uh is there anything else we should know

like favorite foods what he likes what

he dislikes yeah yeah he's very allergic

to bee stings the doctor gave him a

prescription I don't get it

anything else

chest colds he's particularly

susceptible to them that's good to know

um you know we have to sleep in a cold

alleyway sometimes you know remember

once when he was four I had a

particularly bad case of the croup put

him in a hospital and an oxygen tent it

was a young doctor there who set up with

him all night with a trach kid on his

lap what's the trach kit that's for a

tracheotomy

case you can't breathe I cut a hole in

your windpipe Oh gross

how'd you know all that because I set up

all night with him ten years later I

could still taste the coffee what coffee

well at the yeah at the hospital

remember Oh mud we have some rules that

he'll have to learn but there's plenty

of time for that we should be going do

you want me do you want me to clean my

room before I go No

care of him Forrester he's a good kid I

don't believe you're doing this it's
