Jamie’s trying to convince Bob that it’ll all be all right, but his words fall on deaf ears. Bob insists that he always messes things up, and announces he is nothing but a failure. Jamie loses patience and scolds his dad for always running off and leaving people in the lurch – including him when he was a child.
Will Bob listen to his son?
