"He just blindsided me." "I'm not the one who called him." "He had no idea that you even existed." "I get that now." "Didn't know that when I was talking to him." "I didn't think you would ever have to talk to him." "You picked up Riley at my mom's house because he hates Riley being a jock." "He hates anything that reminds him of me." "So Riley and I never told him about you because we knew he would put a stop to the jiujitsu." "you should've told me." "I was a little busy." "000 miles away." "because of you." "I would've stayed a year longer in your place and you know that." "That was the general's call..." "You know what?" "And if you had never gotten involved in that sharbat's case" "Syd." "And I might lose my girl because of it." "what are you..." "What are you talking about?" "My ex is suing for full custody of Riley." "drew." "he's got a second marriage that the courts view as a more secure home life than with some mom who's off in Afghanistan for half the year." "So what are you gonna do?" "What am I gonna do?" "I'm gonna grab my ankles and take it." "I'm gonna head to D.C. D.C.?" "That's where he's moving. so he can leave without my permission." "So we fight it." "We can fight it."

"I have been away from Riley way too long and I am not letting her leave without me." "I still think that we need to go do... it is Riley and me. 'cause you don't." "You're right." "Sorry." "Just trying to help." "you can't." "♪♪" "♪♪" "Hey." "You know I was only being a hard-ass on you right?" "Which is almost all the time." "Maybe I-i could've handled it a bit better." "you definitely could've handled it better." "But you were right." "but I have a bad concussion." "Thank you." "I'll be riding the pine for a week. you won't step into the breach so soon without me?" "Yeah." "I learned my lesson." "I'm not the man I used to be." "Turned the corner from being in good shape to being in good shape for my age." "Right." "So what's wrong with that?" "I-I wanna be like I was when I was 25." "That's why I was so pissed." "It... it really hit home that I never will be." "you can't compare yourself to who you were back then." "All right?" "Compare yourself to who you were a few months ago." "upped your regimen." "you got knocked out by a bum shoulder." "Now it took a bomb blast." "That makes you a stud." "I'm..." "I'm like a total stud." "Total stud." "you did say it changed your sex life with Janet." "It did." "Huh?" "She says she likes to rub my burgeoning abs." "I-i don't need that kind of image in my head." "Tmi." "right? but you're still a badass 40-something." "I got blowed up." "Mm-hmm." "I'm still ticking." "Yeah." "How many doctors can say that?" "Not many." "huh?" "have Janet do your..." "Whatever." "I'll see you in a week." "Adios." "Adios." "All right." "You're both expected to make a full recovery thanks to the quick thinking and actions of doctors alister and Jennings." "Thank you so much for everything." "I don't know how I can ever repay you." "Or the hospital bill." "you don't have to." "we've contacted some vet charities that are gonna step in and help out." "I believe you have some good news for darika." "Excuse me." "My dad's going to do darika's repair for free at his surgery center." "my god." "You must have the greatest dad ever." "I do." "too." "mom." "I can't be without you anymore." "I swear." "Wow."
