00:00You want to spread these goddamn ashes?
00:01You do it tomorrow.
00:02No.
00:03I'm serious.
00:04No!
00:09Now then, are you going to read this prayer as your father
00:12asked you to read?
00:13No, I'm not.
00:17Not today.
00:20Fine.
00:23I will do it myself.
00:28Good luck.
00:30How about some fresh air?
00:34Who ever thought it meant that much to him,
00:36naming a simple practice filled in his honor?
00:40God, he took pride in the weirdest things.
00:44He's your father, Sonny.
00:47He's your father, Sonny.
00:50He's your father.
00:52Sonny.
01:00What was it?
01:01Why did you hate him so much?
01:04I didn't hate my father.
01:06I didn't.
01:09You know what?
01:09Everyone always gives me grief for firing my father.
01:13Well, you did.
01:14I was here that day.
01:19It was my mother.
01:21What?
01:22It was my mother.
01:24Look, don't get me wrong.
01:25I'm the one who fired him.
01:26But it was my mother who asked me to do it.
01:29My dad's doctors told him that the stress of coaching
01:37was going to kill him.
01:38So, of course, he refused to retire.
01:41So now I have a choice.
01:44The time he has left at home with my mother or another year
01:49on the sidelines where maybe he drops dead on national television.
01:55So what do you do?
02:00I gave it to my mom, and I fired him.
02:05How come you never told me that before?
02:08You know, there's already so many versions of what happened
02:10that it's not really something I love talking about.
02:12You never told him.
02:14You just let him believe that his only son would just fire him.
02:17I totally do things in my family.
02:18Sonny.
02:22You know, all I ever wanted to do was just get him a ring.
02:25Oh, jeez, what is this?
02:39They want to pay their respects.
02:55And tell us, God.
03:12Bye-bye.
03:13We'll find what happens.
03:14We'll find out.
03:16We'll find out.
03:17Bye-bye.
