PARTNERS. PARTNERS.

I WANNA HIRE YOU. WHAT EXACTLY AM I GONNA BE DOING?

I DON'T KNOW YET. WHAT YOU GOT THAT'S SO GREAT, D.,

THAT YOU DON'T WANT NOTHING TO DO

WITH YOUR OWN FLESH AND BLOOD? I JUST DON'T WANT ANY TROUBLE.

I GOT TURNED DOWN BY REMINICK, BELL & HERGOTT. HERGOTT? THAT'S THE FIRM THAT REPRESENTS RAY.

HE'S THEIR BIGGEST CLIENT. MAYBE HE COULD PUT IN A WORD FOR YOU.

CAN YOU START ON MONDAY? I

J.T. YES, DARLING?

I DON'T THINK THIS IS GONNA WORK OUT. COME ALONG, LAURA.

ACTUALLY, I'D LIKE LAURA TO STAY.

I WANT HER TO DESIGN THIS SPACE. I HAVE THIS BIG, NEW JOB,

AND MY CLIENT REALLY WANTS TO HIRE YOU. YOU'RE KIDDING ME.

I DO FEEL LIKE THERE'S SOMETHING... HERE.

BUT SINCE WE'RE GONNA BE WORKING TOGETHER,

I'M JUST--I'M NOT IN A PLACE RIGHT NOW IN MY LIFE WHERE-- IT'S OKAY. YOU KNOW, IN TRUTH,

MY LIFE IS PRETTY COMPLICATED, TOO.

MAGGIE NEWTON. THERE'S A CHANCE THAT SHE'S MY MOTHER.

YOUR MOTHER? I KNOW.

NO! WHAT

I TOLD DEAN-- NOT THAT WALL.

LAURA... SCONCES?

UH, BRUSHED CHROME FOR RECEPTION,

BRASS IS FOR THE LOBBY.

HELLO, THIS IS LAURA.

UH, NO, THE PIPES ARE GOING IN ON TUESDAY,

SO YOU CAN'T TILE UNTIL WEDNESDAY--HEY!

HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? THOSE-- THOSE ARE NOT COMING DOWN.

RAY WANTS THOSE REFINISHED. RAY LIKES CLASSIC TOUCHES.

EVERYTHING'S RIGHT ON SCHEDULE.

NICE SUIT, BY THE WAY.

THANKS.

UH, HEY, SINCE YOU'RE HERE...

THAT DRYWALL MADE OF GOLD?

HMM. IT AIN'T CHEAP.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE THE SWEETEST DIGS IN TOWN.

MAN, I DID SOME CONSTRUCTION.

THE CAT'S TACKING ON AT LEAST 30%

IN HOPES YOU WON'T NOTICE IT. I DIDN'T.

EH, HE'S PROBABLY GETTING A LITTLE KICKBACK

FROM THE SUPPLIER, TOO.

ALL THAT KISSING YOUR ASS? IT'S A DEAD GIVEAWAY.

STEVEN!

HEY. YOU FIGURE OUT HOW MANY?

UH, HI, HOW ARE YOU? UM, I DON'T KNOW.

A LOT OF WALL, MAN. 2 FLOORS. 80 PRINTS. MAYBE A HUNDRED?

I GET A DISCOUNT AFTER THE FIRST 50?

IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO CUT COSTS,

I KNOW A GUY IN THE EAST VILLAGE

DOES GREAT THINGS WITH BLACK VELVET.

GREAT. GIVE ME HIS NAME.

I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING. HEY.

OH, HEY.

UH... THINGS GOOD?

YEP. GOOD. YES, SURE. YOU?

YOU KNOW...

I DO.

I'D LOVE TO SEE, UH, SOME OF THE PICTURES...

YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE READY.

I AM... NOT YET.

NO! NO, NO, NO. NO, WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?

I'M GONNA TAKE THAT THING AWAY FROM YOU!

I DIDN'T TELL YOU TO TAKE OUT THAT WALL.

LET ME HOLD THIS THING FOR YOU. GIVE THAT TO HIM.

DAMIAN... I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING.

YOU JUST PUT THIS WALL UP YESTERDAY.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? LOOK AT THIS VIEW.

IT'S YOURS.

I LIKE THE WAY YOU HANDLE THINGS, DAMIAN.

OVERSEE THIS, THE WHOLE PLACE.

BE MY EYES AND EARS.

YOU HAVE AN EYE FOR THE SCAMMERS.

AND I THINK THIS'LL BE A GOOD TEST

OF YOUR MANAGEMENT SKILLS. YOU UP FOR IT? HELL, YEAH.

GOOD. WE'LL PUT YOUR ASSISTANT RIGHT OUT HERE. A

HEAD OF OPERATIONS NEEDS AN ASSISTANT.

RAY... THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH, RAY.

I WILL KNOCK THIS OUT OF THE PARK FOR YOU.

TRUST ME. JUST WATCH.

MY AUNT STAYED UP ALL NIGHT BOILING THEM FOR YOU.

THAT'S VERY THOUGHTFUL. PLEASE THANK HER FOR ME.

ARE WE ALL SET FOR MAGGIE'S BOOK SIGNING? UH, TOTALLY. I HAVE THE TOUR ITINERARY FINALIZED.

OPRAH HAS THE BOOK-- CONFIRMED.

HER PRODUCER HAS READ AND LOVED IT.

YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN A TWO. A WHAT?

A VERY STRONG NUMBER TWO.

BUT BEING A NUMBER ONE, THE BOSS BOSS?

THERE'S THE DAY-TO-DAY, NUTS AND BOLTS, HARD CHOICES.

I THINK OLIVIA WILL BE ABLE TO HELP YOU WITH THOSE. RAY, I DON'T--

HEY, HERE SHE IS NOW.

THAT'S OLIVIA?

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.

ELIZA! WE GOTTA GO, GIRLIE.

OH, MY GOD. I AM EXHAUSTED.

WHAT TIME DID YOU GET HOME FROM WORK LAST NIGHT? UH, 2:30.

AND THEN I WAS DREAMING OF SPLOTCHES AND SWATCHES AND...

HOW'S IT GOING WITH YOU AND STEVEN?

UM... I THINK HE'S TRYING TO AVOID

BEING IN THE SAME ROOM WITH ME.

IT'S GOTTA BE TOUGH FOR BOTH OF YOU.

UM, YOU KNOW WHAT? I'LL TAKE ELIZA TO SCHOOL.

I FEEL LIKE I HAVEN'T SEEN HER ALL WEEK.

OKAY. I'LL JUST GO TO CLASS THEN,

IF THAT'S OKAY WITH YOU.

YOUR MOTHER'S CLASS? ARE YOU STILL GOING?

YEAH. I REALLY LOVE WATCHING HER.

SHE'S SO SMART AND FUNNY.

ARE YOU GONNA TALK TO HER?

DON'T WANNA RUIN IT.

I HAVE THIS PICTURE IN MY HEAD THAT...

I'LL WALK UP TO HER--

SHE'S BEEN MISSING ME ALL THESE YEARS,

SHE REGRETS LEAVING.

I'VE SEEN YOU A COUPLE TIMES.

ARE YOU REGISTERED FOR THIS CLASS?

ACTUALLY, NO, I'M NOT. I'M AUDITING.

YEAH, I'M SORRY. AUDITORS DON'T GET APPOINTMENTS.

IF YOU KNEW WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH

JUST TO MAKE IT HERE TO AUDIT MAGGIE'S CLASS...

LISTEN, HER TIME'S JUST REALLY LIMITED.

IT MAKES ODYSSEUS' JOURNEY HOME

TO PENELOPE SEEM LIKE A CAKEWALK.

IS THAT THE RIGHT REFERENCE?

THAT WAS... THAT WAS A SHOT IN THE DARK.

CAN I BUY YOU A COFFEE?

MS. MORGAN. HI. DAMIAN HENRY.

HEY, DAMIAN. RAY TOLD ME ABOUT YOU. OH, YEAH? GOOD. GOOD. GOOD.

I JUST WANTED TO INTRODUCE MYSELF

YEAH, YOU CAN TELL MR. HENRY

THAT HIS BROTHER NEEDS TO TALK TO HIM.

YOU GOT IT.

THANKS. THANK YOU.

LISTEN, I'LL SQUEEZE YOU INTO MAGGIE'S SCHEDULE.

JUST DON'T TELL ANYONE, OKAY? OKAY.

I MEAN, THIS WEEK'S BUSIER FOR HER THAN USUAL, SO...

WHY? WELL, MAGGIE'S BOOK JUST CAME OUT,

AND SHE'S GOT LOTS OF PRESS AND, UH, SIGNINGS...

WOW, SHE WROTE A BOOK.

IT'S A HUGE FIRST PRINTING.

WHAT'S IT ABOUT? IT'S A MEMOIR. IT'S HER LIFE STORY.

WOW. GOD, I'D LOVE TO READ IT.

AH, YEAH. IT'S INCREDIBLE. DOES SHE HAVE FAMILY

OH.

THAT'S THE MOST HEARTBREAKING PART OF THE STORY. WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WELL, MAGGIE GOT IN A TERRIBLE CAR ACCIDENT,

AND BOTH OF HER CHILDREN DIED.

IT'S HORRIBLE, ISN'T IT?

PROBABLY. WHY? Ah, never mind. Listen, I've been shooting

a lot of stuff for the offices, and, I don't know,

some of it's good, but I could use some help paring it down.

YOU MIND IF I COME BY AND SHOW YOU WHAT I HAVE? A SNEAK PEEK? I'M HONORED.

UM, HOW ABOUT TOMORROW AFTER WORK?

THAT WOULD BE PERFECT. GOOD. THANKS.

THIS IS PERFECT, SUSAN.

GREAT WORK. NOW IF WE CAN JUST GET

THAT MANILA PAPERWORK STRAIGHTENED OUT,

WE'LL BE ALL SET.

OH, I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE BUSY.

NO, THAT'S OKAY. RAY JONES... CARLOS GREEN.

CARLOS! YOU'RE DAMIAN'S FRIEND, RIGHT?

YEAH. BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING YOU. SAME HERE. IT'S A PLEASURE.

SO WHAT DO THEY GOT YOU WORKING ON, HUH? UM, WELL, I'D LIKE TO GET BACK TO LITIGATION.

THAT'S MY BACKGROUND.

BUT FOR NOW, I'M JUST PROOFING THESE PUBLISHING CONTRACTS.

FOR MAGGIE NEWTON, THE AUTHOR YOU STEERED OUR WAY.

RIGHT, RIGHT. MY P.R. FIRM'S DOING HER PRESS.

IT'S NICE TO SEE WE'RE KEEPING THINGS IN THE FAMILY. CRANE P.R.?

MM-HMM. MY GIRLFRIEND WORKS THERE. LISA CRANE.

WHITNEY'S SISTER?

YES.

WELL, THAT REALLY IS IN THE FAMILY, HUH?

I'M IMPRESSED, MY MAN.

THAT'S A TOUGH GENE POOL TO DIVE INTO. TRUST ME, I KNOW.

SUSAN.

MM? WHAT ARE YOU DOING

WASTING THIS GUY'S TALENT ON PROOFREADING?

PUT HIM WITH SOME CLIENTS!

WE GOT OFF TO A BAD START.

FOR THE RECORD,

YOU SUCKERED ME WITH THAT ROUNDHOUSE.

WHITNEY, I'VE CONSULTED FOR IBM, FOR SMITH BARNEY.

I'M VERY GOOD AT WHAT I DO,

AND I BELIEVE I CAN HELP TRANSITION YOU

TO A STRONG LEADERSHIP POSITION.

I DON'T NEED ANY HELP. REALLY?

YOUR PROFIT MARGIN IS 7% BELOW WHAT IT SHOULD BE.

ANY IDEA HOW TO FIX THAT? I'M GUESSING YOU'RE GONNA TELL ME.

I NOTICED A DISTINCT LACK OF STRUCTURE--

TOO MUCH TIME SPENT ON PERSONAL BUSINESS,

BOTH IN THE OFFICE AND ON THE INTERNET.

ACCORDING TO YOUR SPYWARE... I HAVE SPYWARE?

YES. WHICH IS HOW I KNOW HOWARD SANDERS

IN ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE IS APPLYING TO PORN SCHOOL.

REALLY? HE'S SO... SHORT.

I ALSO SAW TWO EMPLOYEES WEARING SNEAKERS.

I'M SORRY. DOES FOOTWEAR AFFECT MY PROFIT MARGIN?

IT'S SYMPTOMATIC OF A LARGER PROBLEM--

A LACK OF DISCIPLINE... FOCUS...

BASIC CORPORATE STANDARDS.

THEY MAY NOT BE PERFECT, BUT MY PEOPLE WORK HARD. NOT HARD ENOUGH.

I'M RECOMMENDING A 15% REDUCTION IN YOUR STAFF.

YOU WANT ME TO FIRE A

YES, AND INSTITUTE A SALARY AND PROMOTION FREEZE.

I'VE ALREADY TOLD MY ASSISTANT I'M PROMOTING HER. WELL, THEN, UN-PROMOTE HER.

I WANNA BE ABLE TO TELL RAY

THAT YOU CAN DO WHAT IT TAKES

TO JUSTIFY HIS INVESTMENT IN YOU.

LET ME, UH...

OH, THANK YOU.

I COULD USE AN EXTRA PAIR OF ARMS.

WELL, YOU DO PRETTY WELL WITH THE TWO YOU HAVE. UH, EXCUSE ME?

YOUR DESIGN FOR THIS PLACE. I SAW YOUR FURNITURE PLANS.

THEY'RE VERY CLEAN, YOU KNOW? BUT, UH, ELEGANT.

OH, WELL, THANK YOU.

IT'S SO NICE FOR SOMEBODY TO NOTICE.

SURE. YOU KNOW, HAVE DINNER WITH ME.

UH, DINNER?

YEAH. AFTER WORK.

UM... I HAVE A DAUGHTER.

I HAVE A BOAT... AND A DOG.

BUILT THE BOAT MYSELF.

THE, UH, DOG I FOUND.

I'M-- I'M FLATTERED.

I'M JUST--I'M SORRY. I'M NOT DATING.

OKAY. THAT'S COOL.

IT'S NOT HOW I USUALLY DO THINGS.

IT'S HOW WE'RE DOING THINGS NOW.

I OKAY THE PURCHASE ORDERS BEFORE THEY GO OUT.

THAT WAY WE'RE NOT OVERPAYING FOR DRYWALL. COOL?

DAMIAN, HEY! LOOK WHO I JUST RAN INTO.

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD A BROTHER.

UH, WHAT DO YOU KNOW?

D. MICHAEL.

YOUR LITTLE BROTHER HERE'S BEEN, UH, MY RIGHT-HAND MAN.

YOU MUST HAVE SET A PRETTY GOOD EXAMPLE. I DON'T KNOW. ME AND DAMIAN--

WE GOT SOME STORIES. DON'T WE, D.?

SO YOU GOT A MINUTE?

IT'S A NICE VIEW. LISTEN, I'M KIND OF BUSY,

SO YOU KNOW-- HEY, YO, D.

YOU REMEMBER THAT TIME THAT WE BROKE INTO THE NAVY YARD?

MUST'VE BEEN, LIKE, 20 YEARS AGO, RIGHT?

CRAZY OWEN JUMPED OFF THE PIER THE LONG WAY.

MUST'VE BEEN, LIKE, 30 FEET, RIGHT? YEAH, YOU MADE ME JUMP WITH YOU. WHAT'S YOUR POINT?

BROKE YOUR LEG, RUINED YOUR WHOLE SUMMER. MICHAEL, WHAT IS ALL THIS ABOUT?

I JUST CAME BY TO SAY I'M SORRY, BRO.

FOR MAKING ME JUMP OFF A PIER? YEAH...

AND FOR EVERY OTHER TIME I MADE YOU JUMP.

KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

YEAH, OKAY.

ANYWAY, MAN, HEY, I'M ABOUT TO GO AWAY, D.

THEY, UH, BUSTED MY SPORTS BOOK,

CHARGED ME WITH RACKETEERING, SO I PLED OUT,

AND THEY HIT ME WITH A 6 TO 12.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY?

LOOK, D., I KNOW YOU DON'T WANT

NOTHING TO DO WITH ME, MAN, AND I'M COOL WITH THAT.

I JUST WANTED TO SEE MY LITTLE BROTHER

ONE MORE TIME BEFORE I WENT INSIDE...

TELL YOU I LOVE YOU.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, LITTLE BROTHER.

RAY! I WANT OLIVIA OUT.

WHAT HAPPENED? I DON'T LIKE THE WAY SHE LOOKS AT ME.

I DON'T LIKE THE WAY SHE TALKS TO ME.

WHAT? NO. SHE DID-- THAT'S WHAT I THINK.

THAT I WOULDN'T SHARE WITH ANYONE ELSE.

MAE, THIS IS ABOUT MORE THAN JUST YOU AND ME.

SHE UNDERSTANDS THIS IS

AN UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATION FOR YOU

YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS TO ME.

HOW COULD YOU BE A PART OF THIS?

YOU DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM, DO YOU?

WHAT?

CARLOS.

OH, COME ON.

THANK YOU.

SO WHEN YOU GOING AWAY?

TOMORROW. I REMEMBER WHEN I WENT AWAY. I WAS...

I WAS SCARED. SO THAT'S WHAT THIS IS?

YOU BRING ME HERE TO CHEER ME UP?

YOU AIN'T GOT TO WORRY ABOUT ME, LITTLE BRO.

IT AIN'T NOTHING.

YEAH, IT IS, MAN. IT'S TIME, YOU KNOW?

YOU CAN EITHER USE IT OR WASTE IT.

I USED MINE TO FIGURE OUT WHO I WAS,

WHAT I WANTED MY LIFE TO BE LIKE.

WHEN I CAME OUT OF THERE, I WAS READY TO START OVER.

YOU REALLY BUSTED YOUR ASS TO BECOME A CITIZEN, HUH?

♪♪♪

I'M PROUD OF YOU, D.

♪♪♪

I JUST WANNA SAY

I THINK YOU CAN DO THE SAME THING, MICHAEL.

YOU REALLY THINK I COULD BE LIKE YOU, HUH?

HELL, YEAH. YOU'RE MY BROTHER.

♪♪♪

LET ME DRIVE YOU UP THERE.

NAH, NAH, D.

YOU'RE RETIRED, MAN. YOU DON'T DRIVE NO MORE.

FORGET ABOUT ALL OF THAT. I'LL MAKE AN EXCEPTION.

A'IGHT.

AND LOOK, WHEN YOU GET OUT OF THERE,

IF YOU NEED MY HELP... I'M GONNA BE THERE FOR YOU.

♪♪♪

UM... YOU HAVE A VISITOR.

HEY.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

AREN'T YOU AFRAID YOU'RE GONNA GET FIRED?

I JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU'RE OKAY...

AND...

WHETHER OR NOT YOU'VE MADE A DECISION.

50 OF 'EM.

KEEP CHANGING MY MIND.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD TAKE THE MONEY.

BELIEVE ME,

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY JOB.

YOU GOT GYPPED.

YOUR MOTHER BAILED,

AND NOW SHE'D RATHER MAKE THE BESTSELLER LIST

THAN GET A SECOND CHANCE WITH HER DAUGHTER.

GET SOMETHING OUT OF IT. SOMETHING YOU CAN BUILD ON.

HELL, ASK FOR MORE.

I'LL HELP YOU GET IT.

MAE...

THIS'LL JUST TAKE A MINUTE.

TRY TO UNDERSTAND.

I WOULD LOVE TO GET TO KNOW YOU.

IT'S JUST THAT I'VE WORKED FOR SO MANY YEARS

JUST TO GET TO THIS PLACE,

AND THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE WHO WOULD GET HURT--

YEAH. I JUST CAME TO TELL YOU,

DON'T WORRY. I WON'T TELL ANYONE.

AND YOU CAN KEEP YOUR MONEY. NO, MAE, I WANT YOU TO HAVE IT.

I DON'T NEED MONEY TO PRETEND I DON'T HAVE A MOTHER...

BECAUSE I DON'T.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I HEARD YOU MIGHT BE MAKING A BIG DECISION.

I WANTED TO SIT IN.

IF WE COULD BEGIN...

MS. CRANE, YOU HAD SOME CONCERNS?

CONCERNS? YEAH.

WE'RE SELLING A NOVEL AS A MEMOIR.

DOES THAT SEEM WRONG TO ANYONE ELSE? OUR CLIENT, MAGGIE NEWTON, HAS INFORMED US THE YOUNG WOMAN

WILL NOT PURSUE HER CLAIM OF A RELATIONSHIP WITH MS. NEWTON.

AND WITH GREAT REVIEWS AND HUGE INITIAL SALES,

WE THINK THE BOOK CAN BREAK RECORDS.

SO WE'D LOOK TO MOVE AHEAD WITH OUR P.R. CAMPAIGN.

OKAY. OKAY, WELL... HERE'S WHAT I'M THINKING.

MAGGIE NEWTON COMES CLEAN.

ADMITS THAT SHE WAS BAMBOOZLED INTO CALLING FICTION FACT.

WE STAND BY HER, TAKE THE HIT,

AND IF THE BOOK IS AS GOOD AS WE THINK IT IS,

IT WILL KEEP SELLING. THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

IT'S COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY. OH. OKAY.

THEN I THINK YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO FIND SOMEONE ELSE.

YOU'RE ASKING ME TO HELP PERPETRATE

A FRAUD ON THE AMERICAN PUBLIC,

AND IN THE PROCESS DO A REALLY CRAPPY THING

TO AN INNOCENT YOUNG WOMAN.

I WON'T BE A PART OF THAT.

THIS IS WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, RAY.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE US TO PROCEED, MR. JONES?

IT'S CALLED WHITNEY CRANE PUBLIC RELATIONS

FOR A REASON.

I STAND BY HER DECISIONS...

WHATEVER THEY ARE.

HEY.

YEAH.

HEY.

I HEARD YOU DIDN'T TAKE THE MONEY.

I COULDN'T.

I GET IT.

MONEY'S COMPLICATED.

IT'S ALL ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE WILLING TO DO FOR IT.

YOU DIDN'T NEED YOUR MOTHER

TO FIGURE OUT WHO YOU REALLY ARE.

SO ARE YOU STILL SEEING THAT GIRL?

WHITNEY CRANE'S SISTER?

NO. IT DIDN'T WORK OUT.

OLIVIA CLEANED OUT HER DESK.

YEAH, I PUT HER ON A SPORTING GOODS CHAIN.

GUY RUNNING IT DOESN'T KNOW HIS ASS

FROM A BADMINTON RACKET.

I'M SORRY IF I COST THE FIRM SOME MONEY.

I GUESS MY REPUTATION AND MY CONSCIENCE

ARE MORE IMPORTANT TO ME THAN PROFIT MARGINS.

IT ISN'T EASY RUNNING A COMPANY.

THERE'S THE SCIENCE OF IT-- THE NUMBERS, THE PERCENTAGES.

AND THEN THERE'S WHO YOU ARE AS A PERSON.

AND WHEN IT COMES TO THAT,

THERE'S NOBODY BETTER THAN YOU.

YOU MADE THE RIGHT DECISION.

THANKS FOR HAVING MY BACK.

ALWAYS.

ALL RIGHT.

(Damien Rice's "Cannonball" playing)

HEY, UM, IT'S AFTER 7:00, ALMOST 8:00,

AND A BUNCH OF US ARE GOING OUT FOR DRINKS...

IF THAT'S OKAY. SURE. IN FACT, I'LL GO WITH YOU.

UM...

YES.

IT WAS ALMOST A REALLY GOOD PHOTOGRAPH,

BUT...

I MISSED IT.

I MISSED THE MOMENT.

AH.

AND IT MADE ME REALIZE

HOW THE CHANCE FOR SOMETHING REALLY GOOD

CAN JUST VANISH.
