:20:10
[Praying]
:20:19
Let the Lord lift up His
countenance about him

:20:22
and give him peace.
Amen.

:20:25
Nick: I never would
have come back here

:20:27
after college,
but my father got sick,

:20:29
so I came home
to take care of him.

:20:31
Oh, yeah?
:20:33
Mm-hmm. So anyway,
what's your excuse?

:20:35
I took the equivalency exam
after sophomore year--

:20:38
off to be an actress.
:20:39
Actress?
:20:41
What, ''actress''?
:20:42
Can never be sure
if you're being straight,

:20:44
with you.
:20:45
You can never be sure,
anyway.

:20:47
So the first camera
I got in front of--

:20:51
this incredibly
imposing machinery,

:20:52
like, right in my face--
:20:54
and I just...froze.
:20:58
[Chuckles]
:20:59
Claustrophobic,
I think.

:21:01
So it's back to home
and school

:21:03
and the local vet
to make a buck.

:21:04
How long have you
lived here?

:21:05
All my life.
:21:07
Me, too.
Lafayette High.

:21:09
Me, too.
:21:12
So back to school where,
S.U.T.?

:21:14
Mm-hmm.
:21:15
The extension program,
studying art.

:21:16
My dad taught there.
Chaired the history department.

:21:19
Really?
:21:21
This was before they
put him in the urn.

:21:28
Waitress:
Here you go, sweetie.

:21:29
Thank you.
:21:31
Are you all done here?
:21:32
Mm-hmm. Thanks.
:21:37
So in an effort to avoid
a similar fate,

:21:40
next week I will plunder
my father's belongings

:21:42
for their few items
of value,

:21:45
go collect my inheritance,
:21:46
and when all that
is accomplished,

:21:48
I will quietly, promptly
leave Tropico.

:21:52
Just that easy?
:21:58
No.
