Sure.

00:07:10,430 --> 00:07:12,So, I always run out
at 3:15 to meet him

00:07:12,500 --> 00:07:15,and run him real quick
over to the sitter's house.

00:07:15,168 --> 00:07:16,Anyway, Larry never
seemed to mind about it,

00:07:17,004 --> 00:07:20,so I was hoping

00:07:23,844 --> 00:07:27,I realize that Scottsville
is not exactly

00:07:28,516 --> 00:07:29,No, I know it's not.

00:07:30,851 --> 00:07:34,But it's kind of
a personal challenge
for me

00:07:34,722 --> 00:07:37,to see what we can do
to bring local service

00:07:37,891 --> 00:07:40,up to the kind

we would be trying to meet

I don't really
want anybody

at 3:15 or 3:

happens to
come in that day.

00:07:49,603 --> 00:07:52,So is there anybody else
who can pick your son
up after school?

00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,Does your husband
work in the area?

00:07:54,074 --> 00:07:55,Uh, no.

00:07:59,046 --> 00:08:00,Well, I can give you
a few days

00:08:00,648 --> 00:08:02,to make some other
arrangement, but...

00:08:02,315 --> 00:08:04,Well, Brian...

00:08:04,818 --> 00:08:07,I understand what
you're saying and
I think it's great. I do.

a lot of things here

00:08:09,189 --> 00:08:10,that could use
some attention,
believe me.

this bus every day
for three years now.

It just takes 15 minutes.

out of my lunch hour...

00:08:19,232 --> 00:08:22,Well, I'd prefer if
you made some other

he gonna stay in?

00:09:56,596 --> 00:09:59,Well, he can stay
in the living room.

00:10:03,236 --> 00:10:05,And you know what?
He's not gonna live here.

00:10:05,873 --> 00:10:08,He's only coming
to stay here
for a little while.

00:10:10,543 --> 00:10:13,And it's okay if you
don't remember him,

00:10:13,313 --> 00:10:16,because you were only six
the last time he was here.

00:10:16,784 --> 00:10:19,But, um, I think it's, uh...

to get to know each other.

it's kind of this

is a secret agent

working for
the government.

feel kind of weird,
you know,

00:11:58,685 --> 00:12:01,because I never
say much to him
about Rudy Sr.,

00:12:01,454 --> 00:12:03,because I don't
know what to say.

00:12:03,356 --> 00:12:06,And I don't know if
I should just let him

00:12:06,426 --> 00:12:08,imagine what
he wants to imagine,
