'Cause frankly, I'm confused. 170 00:09:33,657 --> 00:09:36,159 I mean, your sister's always overreacted to things, 171 00:09:36,243 --> 00:09:38,203 but this is another order of magnitude. 172 00:09:38,287 --> 00:09:41,623 I show up late a couple of times to the playground and all of a sudden-- 173 00:09:41,707 --> 00:09:45,377 It wasn't that you were late. You were high. And you dropped David. 174 00:09:45,460 --> 00:09:48,130 -Excuse me. I was not high on that day. -I was there. 175 00:09:48,213 --> 00:09:50,966 -I know you've seen me high. -You were 100% high that day. 176 00:09:51,049 --> 00:09:53,093 -You're not listening. -What am I not listening to? 177 00:09:53,177 --> 00:09:56,013 I was trying to save that other kid from falling. 178 00:09:56,096 --> 00:09:58,599 I don't know if you remember, because you've obviously chosen 179 00:09:58,682 --> 00:10:00,976 to make this a story about how I'm a fuck-up. 180 00:10:01,059 --> 00:10:04,521 But there was another kid climbing up on that thing, whatever they call it, 181 00:10:04,605 --> 00:10:08,317 and the parents were nowhere to be found. Probably on their phones or something. 182 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,403 And I was the only one around. And that kid started to fall, right? 183 00:10:11,486 --> 00:10:13,614 And I managed to get one of my hands under him. 184 00:10:13,697 --> 00:10:16,658 If I hadn't done that, that kid probably would've broken his neck. 185 00:10:16,742 --> 00:10:19,494 And yes, I did have to take one of my hands off of David. 186 00:10:19,578 --> 00:10:23,081 And yes, he did slip down onto the ground, you know, flat onto his back. 187 00:10:23,165 --> 00:10:24,917 No injury at all, just scared him. 188 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,170 But apparently, the lesson is I'm some kind of menace. 189 00:10:30,714 --> 00:10:32,466 It's not my decision. 190 00:10:34,718 --> 00:10:37,471 Well, I appreciate your support. 191 00:10:38,931 --> 00:10:42,476 Anyway, who cares about David?

Like we see who can whisper most quietly. 205 00:11:39,575 --> 00:11:41,869 -And it's sort of this thing. -Well, sure. 206 00:11:41,952 --> 00:11:45,038 -That's what we used to do. -What's what we used to do? 207 00:11:45,539 --> 00:11:49,042 Who can whisper most quietly.

You remember that? 226 00:12:58,904 --> 00:13:03,033 I was getting ready to walk out the door, and you really wanted to come with me. 227 00:13:03,116 --> 00:13:06,453 And I said to Ruth, "I want my son to see me play the Troubadour." 228 00:13:06,537 --> 00:13:09,957 And she said you were too young. You were already in bed.
