You know hard and happy aren't mutually exclusive?

Life can be both.

And mine has been mostly.

But you work so much because of me.

I like my work, and you're worth it.

Katie, I made these choices.

Good or bad, they are not on you.

I'm really scared.

Oh my god just the way
that you're breathing

I got you, baby.

Feels like home to me

I have got you.

Oh my god I can't believe you

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

How's your head, pal?

Yeah, I'll bet.

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

- Hi.
- Hey.


- This is a bad time.
- No.


- No, I'm sorry.
- No, look, it's not...


it's not...

It's not a bad time. I, uh...

I just...

I just would've preferred pants.

Well, I would stare but then I'd be missing out

on one of the great smiles of all time.

[CHUCKLES]

- See?
- Yeah.


What leg?

Nick, when you meet Katie...

Actually...

I already did.

Oh.

And?

She's got your eyes.

[CHUCKLES]

Did you tell her?

You know, there wasn't really a great segue into, uh...

I'm your dad.

Look, Sarah, if I'm making things messy for you,

- I have no right...
- No, it's okay.


I do messy pretty well,

and this isn't about me.

I know we discussed telling her right away,

but I was hoping we could feel out when it's best.

Together.

She's just kind of got a lot going on.

Yeah, yeah, no. Of course, um...

You know what?

I will just be the, um...

very handsome, legless guy upstairs.

- Thank you.
- Yeah. Yeah.
