Erasing His Dark Past

Danica.

I did not.

David: Yes, you did.

I remember.

I'm telling you.

I didn't.

I fell asleep on your shoulder on our first date.

Cheers.

I love you.

I love you too.

Yeah, I remember.

Our first date was mini golf.

Do you remember?

You kept hitting the windmill.

And you were getting so frustrated.

And the little boy behind us...

OK.

He got a hole in one.

All right.

We don't have to relive my humiliation.

Yeah.

Wait, how could I have fallen asleep

on your shoulder during mini golf?

Hmm.

Yeah, I guess it must have been another first date.

Oh, that's very funny.

Oh, I've had a lot of first dates, hon.

Oh, really?

Well, you've got to check a couple oysters

before you find a pearl.

Annie?

Oh!

You guys are home already.

How was your anniversary dinner?

It was OK, right?

At sunset, steak and lobster...

Isn't that your favorite?

I hate you.

Oh, well, that's too bad because I'll

have to eat that apple cobbler all by myself.

Ice cream?

Two scoops.

I'll heat it up.

The, uh... the cobbler, not the...

We get it.

Ice cream.

You get it.

You're late.

You guys said you were gonna be home by 11:00.

No.

We told you to be home at 9:00.

No.

You told me that.

David doesn't care.

Yeah.

Well, when David goes through 18 hours of labor and an emergency

C-section, then he can weigh in on your curfew too.

Ew!

Mom, gross.

Ladies?

Come on.

It's melting.

I can't even remember what life was like without you.

I know.

I know.

Yeah, that's good.

Mm-hm.

You know, when Jeff died, I thought I'd be alone.

Then you came along.

And I stalked you till you said yes to a date.

'Cause you were... you were 10 years younger, babe.

I thought you were joking.

Hm.

And I thought you were perfect.

Mm.

You know you and Annie are the best things that

ever happened to me, right?

How many days are you going for again?

Just overnight, hon.

Yeah, my boss wants an aerial survey of the island.

And he needs you there for that?

Well, he'd like to know what he's getting himself

into before he invests $60 million.

Real estate developers tend to be funny that way.

Yeah, so I'll be just flying into Sea-Tac,

and then Carter's fly us back out in his private plane

to do the survey.

La de da.

Oh, yeah.

And his plane's the size of a hatchback

and about as airworthy.

Oh, really?

And that's supposed to make me feel better?

When... when were you at the Heights Hotel?

Isn't that downtown?

Oh, yeah.

No, this is where we had our conference this year,

back in April, remember?

Oh, right.

Yeah.

But wait.

They give you a hotel room key for the conference?

Well, yeah.

I mean, we gotta take meetings somewhere.

Their conference rooms stink.

Oh.

All right.

My car's here.

I gotta run.

You're gonna pick me up from the airport tomorrow, right?

Yeah.

Just text me when you land.

The bank keeps calling.

Oh, yeah.

I'll take care of that.

Should I answer it?

No, no.

Don't worry about it.

I'll call as soon as I land.

OK.

She keeps leaving messages.

Yeah.

No, it's fine.

I got it.

Bye, babe.

I love you.

I love you too.

Good morning, sweetheart.

Hey.

You all set for your English test?

I should be.

I studied last night when I got home.

You mean when you got home late?

No.

Oh, by the way, I might be a little bit late picking you up

after school today.

I've got an assignment this afternoon,

and I think I have to edit tonight.

I'm just going to walk.

Are you sure?

Yep.

OK, will you make sure you come home right after school?

Why?

Because you're on thin ice after being late last night.

When am I not on thin ice?

Oh, I don't know.

There was maybe two weeks in the sixth grade.

Goodbye, mom.

Bye.

Bye.

I love you.

I love you too.

Karen!

Hey, Neil.

Hey.

Checking up on me?

I haven't seen the sun in a couple weeks.

I just figured I should, you know,

make sure it's still here.

Long day?

It is.

It's hard keeping the newspaper afloat these days.

Yeah.

Especially with how much we got to pay you.

Can I see?

I think this one's good.

You're great.

Perfect.

Who's writing the story?

Who knows?

I just look at the pictures.

Look, what's it going to take to get you

to come work for us full time?

Ah.

You know, I'm kind of liking my freelance life.

David's been so busy with work, and Annie, well, she

probably wishes I'd spend more time at work.

17?

Just turned.

When Kaylee was 17, she wrecked two cars

and tried to run away.

After the second car, I just...

I wish I just... just let her, you know?

Yeah, but she turned out, though.

You've been a good dad.

I know Faith would have been proud.

So how is David handling fatherhood?

Oh, he loves it and she loves him.

I'm the one she's not so crazy about these days, but...

Everybody loves David.

No, I know.

The three of us should get together soon.

Yeah.

That'd be great.

He's traveling a lot, but I'll talk to him when he's back,

and then we'll put something in the books.

OK.

And I'll get those pictures by the end of the week?

You'd get them by the end of the day

if you'd let me do my work.
