- [Hopper Voiceover] Feelings, Jesus, hmm,
the truth is, for so long
I'd forgotten what those even were.
I've been stuck in one place, in a cave, you might say,
a deep, dark cave, and then,
I left some Eggos out in the woods,
and you came into my life and,
for the first time in a long time,
I started to feel things again.
I started to feel happy.
And lately, I guess I've been feeling distant from you,
like you're pullin' away from me or somethin'.
I miss playing board games every night.
Makin' triple decker Eggo extravaganzas at sunrise,
watchin' Westerns together before we doze off.
But I know you're getting older, growing, changing,
and I guess, if I'm bein' really honest,
that's what scares me.
I don't want things to change.
(calm music)
And so, I think maybe that's why I came in here,
to try to maybe stop that change.
To turn back the clock, to make things
go back to how they were.
(Hopper sighs)
But I know that's naive, it's just not how life works.
It's moving, always moving, whether you like it or not.
And yeah, sometimes that's painful, sometimes it's sad,
and sometimes it's surprising, happy.
So you know what?
Keep on growin' up, kid, don't let me stop you.
Make mistakes, learn from 'em,
and when life hurts you, because it will,
remember the hurt, to hurt is good,
it means you're out of that cave.
But, please, if you don't mind,
for the sake of your poor, old dad,
keep the door open three inches.
(female laughs)
- Zeke?
- I got you.
(speakers speaking in foreign language)
- When I first came to this country,
I had to do so much to fit in,
I never wanted the same for my children.
- Okay.
- I wanted you to be proud, and strong,
but you are so different.
It makes me feel scared for you.
- Your fear doesn't help me, dad.
It makes me feel weak.
- But why do you have to be so much?
- This is me.
- I don't want you to be hurt.
- (laughs) I'll be hurt either way,
isn't it better to be who I am?
(car honks)
- I told you to wait.
I just shouted at that man.
- Yeah (laughs) yeah, you did.
- Maybe I am learning from my brave son.
(intense music)
- Dad.
- Nadia.
- Show us some of your best condoms.
(glass shatters)
Allen.
Allen, are you okay?
- Hey, so happy to see you, I'm so glad you're alive.
- You know what, give me a little space, hippie, nice scarf.
(both laughing)
- Oh, fuck.
- I'm sorry to ask, but I keep pull of sight ad,
show my commissary to come.
Mama, not much, any little bit helps.
10, 20, just to add to my books.
- Boy, I ain't got nothin' to give you.
Ain't got it, but, I will work on it.
(speaking in foreign language)
- This whole place is here because of your sister.
I wanted there to be a place where you can come out,
and you can talk to Noriko.
(speaking in foreign language)

(both crying)
- I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, Rudy.
- I don't blame you, you did the right thing.
- I didn't.
- I got nothin' but love for you.
It wasn't your fault, it wasn't your fault.
(soft piano music)
- [Female Voiceover] But that's not real, is it?
There are no more one more's.
I met you when everything was new and exciting, and,
the possibilities of the world seemed endless.
And they still are, for you, for me, but not for us.
Somewhere between then and now, here and there,
I guess we didn't just grow apart, we grew up.
When something breaks,
if the pieces are large enough, you can fix it.
Unfortunately sometimes things don't break, they shatter.
But when you let the light in, shattered glass will glitter.
- The thing is, I spent my whole life
trying really hard to believe that
most people are basically good,
even when the ones I knew weren't.
I don't know, I guess it just...
Gave me hope, or something.
- I can see that.
- But then this thing happened, the rape,
and, I don't know, it just became harder for me to
believe that there was really any good in the world,
and I think that was the hardest part of this whole thing.
Waking up feeling hopeless.
And I would think things like
"Well, if the world is this bad,
"do I even wanna be in it?"
You know?
- I do.
- But then, out of nowhere, I hear about these two people,
in some completely other part of the country,
looking out for me, and making things right,
and, I don't know, more than anything else,
more than him getting locked up,
more than the money I got, it was hearing that,
about you guys, that just changed things completely,
and I wake up now and I can imagine good things happening.
(soft music)
- I'm so happy to hear that, Marie.
- So anyway, I just wanted you to know
that you did that for me, and to say thank you.
- You're welcome.
