day that the future is now life is a

very precious thing let's go out there

and k*ll us some deer yeah I don't know

sounds not really the hunting type of

guy don't sell bill short as a hunter

after all he begged the most beautiful

girl in Chicago oh go on yeah I'd have a

good week thing is dad I was planning to

watch a fight tomorrow night well fight

I ordered the WCW slugfest on

pay-per-view what the fake wrestling

with the phony baloneys in tights that's

not a fight come out on alone I'll show

you a fight and I'm not going out on the

lawn with you I'm always kidding i know

you have a sense of humor I seen you try

and play football listen listen I

realized something in that hospital bed

I have made a lot of unfair remarks

about you being a candy-ass and I just

want to say I'm sorry thank you it's all

my fault that you're a candy yet but I

raised you soft but I gotta hand it to

you it took a lot of guts to come to

that hospital and begged me to finally

make a man out of you well I just thank

God we have the second chance

you promised me he was dying he looked

like he was well you're supposed to know

for sure I count on your medical

expertise I'm a dental assistant I make

appointments and help people to bite

down on this bike down on this because

of you I'm stuck going to the woods with

a maniac armed with steel-tipped arrows

which you're probably made out of his

old coworkers I just wanted you to have

some sort of relationship with your

father but clearly that is not going to

happen so if you don't want to go on

this trip why don't you just tell him I

can't I look him in the eye and he gives

me that scary dad glare well then fine

be afraid of him for the rest of your

life but you know what bill he's not

that scary well what do you maybe the

girl with the angel eyes and the smile

that can light up a room he treats me

differently to how he treats you I just

wish you'd understand that angel eyes

lantern check pompous check latrine what

okay we are off to the math Olympics

yeah have fun on your trip down you want

a bow and arrow in case one of them reps

makes you bad call no I've got my w*apon

right here corpus callosum so the left

brain with the right brain is thinking

oh good luck oh you guys are getting

ready for the big trip bill isn't there

something you want to get out of your

system that's been bothering you you

know something that's been weighing you

down for a long time don't worry Judy we

got this well good luck honey hey I told

you to turn off that stupid wrestling

this is research that sleeper hold might

come in handy if I don't k*ll the deer

all away okay that's it what are you

doing exactly what I did with your baby

blanket 40 years ago why would you do

that doing you a favor listen son you

have to learn how to live like instead

of just watching it and when you get

back from this trip you will be able to

set a better example for that boy of

yours make them more of a man what's

that supposed to mean math Olympics

change and I'm not gonna pull the same

crap on him you pulled on me woody

transect though I'm trying to say I

hated that bow hunting trip I didn't

want to go then I don't want to go now I

only said all those nice things at the

hospital because I thought you were

dying I don't know why I bother

hospital how's it going wish I broke his

rib hi I'm looking in someone I met bill

him what I thought you finally got

through to him huh you'll never change

work on a relationship and I can

actually do something about question 33
