Good talk, son

You know, I haven't had much of a chance to talk to you man to man, Russ.

Well, I've only been a man a few days, dad.


(chuckles) You're growing up so damn fast. I spent the last 15 years developing newer food additives, I guess I've missed an awful lot. First, I didn't want to take this vacation, but now, I'm glad I did. It's given me chance to spend a lot more time with you and...uh...Audrey.

It's been real fun for me, too, dad. Really. Except for Aunt Edna.

Oh, she doesn't mean to be a pain in the rump. Just the way she is. Let's not let it spoil our fun, huh?

I wont. You know, maybe she'd be a nicer person if she had a family of her own. Instead of always having to glom on to someone else's.

You're a pretty bright little guy. Excuse me...MAN. (sigh) You know what I want to do? When I was your age my dad shared a beer with me and I thought it was the best thing in the world. Yeah, when I was a boy, just about every summer we took a vacation. And, you know, in 18 years we never had fun. BUT, now I have my own family, and well, we're on our own vacation, and you know something, Russ?

What, Dad?

We're gonna have fun. Gonna have fun. Hey! Don't let your mother smell that beer on your breath. She'll take it out on me. WELL, I'd better get a move on if I want to get us out of here by dark.

Good talk, son.

Good talk, Dad.
