:49:01
No. Not right now.
:49:11
Nick, can you do me a favor?
:49:15
Okay.
:49:27
Pick that up.
:49:32
- Protein for stamina.
- Let's switch, Andrea.

:49:35
- Okay. I suppose it's your turn.
- Yeah, good idea.

:49:37
Keep things fresh
and help us fiight that second-round lag.

:49:42
- What's that?
- That's a conversational lag...

:49:44
that often occurs after the ordering
of the second round.

:49:48
Actually, Nick was telling me about you
and your relationship with his mother.

:49:52
- No secret there. She's my sister.
- Your relationship with her.

:49:55
Not your relationship to her.
Nick says they don't speak.

:49:58
That's terrible.
I mean, you need your family.

:50:02
- Yeah.
- What do you think happened, Nick?

:50:06
My mom's a lot older than Roger.
Like nine years.

:50:09
You must have been quite
the little surprise, Roger.

:50:12
A nine-year gap doesn't necessarily mean
an unplanned pregnancy.

:50:16
But, apparently, I did come
as a bit of a surprise.

:50:19
Really? I didn't know that.
:50:21
That doesn't explain why you
and your sister don't get along.

:50:23
Let's just say
we don't have much in common.

:50:27
My mom says that when Roger was little,
he could talk himself out of anything.

:50:30
He never got in trouble,
even when he got caught.

:50:33
- She called him ''Roger Dodger.''
- That's perfect for you.

:50:37
There's nothing wrong with a high
verbal ability. Nick's got it too.

:50:41
I wanna be like Granddad.
He almost never talks.

:50:43
But when he does,
everyone kind of leans forward.

:50:45
You know, my dad's like that.
:50:47
The difference being that what
my father has to say is usually...

:50:50
some variation on,
''Get me another scotch.''

:50:52
- Like father, like son?
- No, like daughter.

:50:55
- I get my--
- Whose daughter?

:50:56
- What do you mean, ''like daughter?''
- No joke.

:50:59
Mom keeps a bottle in the
laundry basket. She has for years.
