- Hello. - Hello.
So, how does this work? Do I just talk, or...
Does Murphy listen?
Well, he's bound by a confidentiality agreement, but...
He can leave if you want.
- Yeah, maybe just for this first time. - All right.
Sorry, Murph.
Yeah, yeah, I heard you.
It's not like I'm your fucking business partner.
So, what did my dad want?
Just wanted to welcome me back.
He didn't say anything about me hanging out with you?
Not really.
Maybe the way to do this is to ask a question.
What question?
Charlie, I don't know. You're the professional.
All right. Well, I guess the obvious one is how do you feel about your dad?
You mean, besides the fact that this stupid job turned him into an alcoholic?
How do you feel about that?
I think it actually bothers him more than me, to be honest.
But there was the night.
What's "the night"?
The night he found out my mother was having an affair.
He was plastered, waving this. 38 revolver around, threatening to kill himself.
So, your mom left and you stayed, right?
Yeah, pretty much.
He promised to get rid of the gun,
and then he went into treatment for a while.
And then, for whatever reason, he decided he was into boats.
You know, it's like someone said,
Hey, you, you're crazy. Chill out and get a hobby.
- Susan. - Yes?
I'm still waiting for you to tell me how you feel about your dad.
You're tough.
I guess what I'm trying to say is it just...
It kind of sucks having one parent ditch
and then the other one lose their mind.
I mean, how can I possibly hope to turn out even remotely functional?
Well, I kind of do feel better.
I'm glad.
Well, thanks for listening, Charlie Bartlett.
No problem, Susan Gardner.
