 You know, I can't believe it that we are sitting here sharing a beer. It's funny, you know, because I remember how even when I was 18, you would be so angry any time I came close to your drinks. Oh, Steve, Steve, I really want to thank you for this. I'm really happy to be here and it means a lot to me. Come on, look, don't make this weird. We're having a great evening. Let's just chill, you know. I know, I know. For chairman, I didn't expect this. Ah, I've been meaning to ask ever since I got in here. Well, glass is now a shadow. Here for life, it's a programming thing. Or you can't see sharp now. Dad, did you just try to make a programming joke? You don't have any idea how I've been rehearsing and waiting for this moment. I'm proud of you, Charlie. You die real good for yourself. Now I wish I'd allowed myself to listen more to everyone around me. But now, yeah, I can't even offer you anything in place of a paparapology. You can't see. I was very sure that you're going to waste your life cooked up in that room all day with that chuppate. To get concrete and safe. It's for you. I got it swung, you know. Yeah, I got it swung. Go ahead, let's hear it. Let's hear it. You know, at least you can look me in the face and do it. You're not going to make it easy, are you? Am I not here? Say, uh, as usual with these bullying tactics. Hey, hey, I've been, I've been curious. I mean, how do you, how do you claim to love someone yet do everything in your power to, to bring down the very things that brought her joy? You know, it's the reason why Leonard became an architect. She loved art and she was so good at it. Well, at least we all could see it. And it brought her joy, so much joy. Childlike joy. Now that I think about it, I think she was living a piece of herself through Leo. And even that, you managed to turn it into something else. Not understand why she turned on Leo right before SS. But I later realized that she was hard on Leo to become an architect because she didn't want him to give up the arts like she had to. All because you thought it was a useless craft. She sacrificed everything, everything, and gave in to whatever you said and declared final. She felt so small and bitten by the one person who was supposed to be by her side. But I mean, we all felt small and unheard around you. It all, it all makes sense now. I mean, I thought growing up Ma didn't like me because I was the weird one. I later realized that she was only living out a piece of herself that she had found in Leo. And then there was me misunderstood then alone. I understand why I'm here now. Even though I'm not supposed to be. This should have happened a long time ago. We are both alike, you know. We let our egos get in the way of good things. Mostly because we do not understand. And even worse, it's uncomfortable. I don't know how to do this without sounding as if I was trying to defend myself. You know, I explain it in a mirror. I find it to me. When you spend all your time surviving, you seldom live room to live. And that means you sometimes smother those around you without even realizing it. Where's the fall? You become oblivious to your own selfishness, okay? And that is all that I've left with now. Regrets and a lost time. And it hurts. It hurts even more because no matter how sorry I can tell you that I am, I cannot change anything. It's too late. At least for me. It may not change. And it's on me. It's all on me. I have made different choices. If I had the chance. Honestly, I don't know. I hate that you felt alone for all this time. No one deserves that. I hate that I could not tell you I was proud of you enough. I hate that I could not tell you that you were great enough. It was okay. For me, the world out there swallowed the weak. And I wasn't going to have it that my children lacked the guy to stand on their own. When a way of thinking has been beaten into you, change becomes such a difficult thing. How I raised you is all I need. I didn't have the courage to change. That is why I'm jealous. Because Ceciano, I hate you. And you have done so well for yourself. I'm proud of you. So much. I hope you would knock off that burden you're carrying. And forgive me. You're jealous to get here where you and I are now. It's very close that you think. Take a lesson from what we had. And don't repeat it when you have your son. I'd allowed myself to listen more.
