If you don't return what you took from them -- me --

he wants to be an astronaut.

He's been training for this his whole life.

So tell him he got to quit and come back here.

He's got to delay issuance of the death certificate.

Oh, and someone has to do the my wife, $2,000 thing,

Glenn: Did you ever know that you can go for a lot of days

without eating food?

But you can only live like three days without water?

My new friend Paul told me that

'cause he was worried about me getting lost out here,

and he asked me how long did I think you can go

without drinking water,

and I said, "A long time 'cause you can drink

Pepsi and apple juice and stuff,"

and he said, "That's not what I mean.

What I mean is, how long can you go

without drinking anything?"

And I said, "Oh."

And he said, "Three days."

So, good to know...

'cause I'm lost, and it's been a while

since I've had apple juice or Pepsi or anything.

Until I met my friend Paul --

We're in the early stages of our friendship journey,

and he teaches me things along the way.

Until I met Paul, I didn't know how many things

I didn't know about everything.

He says my dad didn't really raise me,

and I'm sort of like a wolf boy who was, like, raised

by the wind or plants or something

and who doesn't know stuff.

I guess he's right about my dad.

My dad spends a lot of time in A.A.

He still drinks.

He just likes the shrimp cocktails...

at A.A.

Then he likes the regular cocktails

at Toby's Six Guns in Half Acre.

They call him the town drunk.

I don't know why.

I mean, I know why -- 'cause he's drunk all the time,

but there are other guys in Half Acre who are, too.
