[ knocking ] how you doin'?
good, considering-- considering the factthat i'm doing all of thisfor a man i barely knew. you know what bothered meall those years, charlie? it was that... whenever he'd call me to tell methat he was on some job, i knew you wereright there with him. you got to know hima lot better than i did. just 'cause he was around memore doesn't mean he wasn'tthinking about you all the time.
be nice if it was true. it is true. he always regretted nothaving been a good enoughfather to you, stella. how do you know that? because he told me. what did you doto your hand? i punched steve. and why do you get to punch himand i don't? those handsare way to valuable.
