You are some guy, huh? Growing up, I always admired your resolve, Pop. I heard a lot of bad things about you from many people but you always showed me different. You always told me that I should judge a man by his actions and not his words. And you raised me and Walter under that umbrella. It shows. Walt couldn’t believe it. You should of saw the look on his face when he found out. You could of guessed it but you had to be there to experience it. Shocked. I would be too. I know you been waiting on the opportunity. I know things haven’t been going well at Vitas but things are on the up and up. The T-12 prints are amazing. Secretary Carson said it is a beauty. He probably only said that because you gave a hefty donation to the RNC. Disgusting but will keep politics out of this. Money hasn't been coming into the company but I believe things are coming for a change. Putting Frank in the design house is going to be great. With the company going public, things look to be on the up and up. Just as you imagine it. I never doubted you. I had questions. You always told me that it was okay to question things. “Never dive head first in something your unsure of”. I never questioned your judgement but -- why did you name me as your medical proxy? I think Walter or mom would be fully capable of handling your medical decisions. I mean -- I’m honored and all but, why didn’t you want us to know you were sick? I think that would be valuable information for the agent of your living will to know. Why didn’t you all tell me about Walter? What’s up with all the secrecy in this family? We’re all in this together, why do we act like strangers? I really wanted to follow in your steps, pop, but I don’t like that about us. With all due respect, sir, I don’t like that about you. All I wanted to do was to accomplish something bigger than myself. I saw how hard you push Walt and I thought that eventually that is what you wanted for me. Even Walter has gotten on me about doing my own thing. He wants me to sell my shares to start a business and try to get richer but really, I’m content. I’m content on who I am and what I have. I find my riches in the things that matter to me the most, like family. That’s why it hurts so much to see the state of how we are as a family. I want to break the trend. Me and Rachel have been thinking of just doing our own thing but not for riches but to be happy. Start on a new slate. I never knew why you didn't want me to be a part of Vitas before now I know. I think you wanted me to be my own person. I think the man I am today is what you always envisioned. That’s what I want to do. After Vitas goes public me and Rachel are going to have to come back to the real world at some point but I just want us to enjoy this time we have as some big changes are coming.
