So... do we need to talk about the mistletoe, son?

[likefatherlikeson]

Yeah, I did. And you know why? Because he looked me right in the eye every time I spoke. He listened, and he wanted to know more. He went and researched bipolar just so he could understand what it was.

[aussielawyer]

Well, you know he's one of the good ones if Sunshine and Dory both liked him. I have no objections to you wanting more positive and kindhearted people around you, kiddo. I think you need that.

[likefatherlikeson]

I like helping people, Dad. When I can't even help myself, it's everything to me. And I like meeting other people who help people too. I haven't spoken to Andi yet, his friend with cancer, but I have a feeling none of this was about getting him to sing. I think it's about her wanting to give him some time away to just think about himself, and she thought I could help with that.

[aussielawyer]

You're going to speak to her? From what I heard last night, it sounds like he needs a breather.

[likefatherlikeson]

I was going to talk to you about that. Maybe you could drive me up to Boston on the weekend? I want to meet her, and he said he'd like me to meet his parents too.

[aussielawyer]

We can shoot for that, sure. Can I call his folks to check it's all okay for them shit weekend?

[likefatherlikeson]

Yeah, that's okay. There's a bit of paper stuck to the fridge with all his emergency contact stuff on it for you. Their numbers are there.
