00:00Is everything okay?
00:05What?
00:07You've been halfway here since you walked through the door.
00:15Well, Baker's having trouble at home.
00:21And she went around me to get her husband transferred to the mayor's detail to fix things between them.
00:30Come on, Dad.
00:32What?
00:33What, do you expect that she's going to walk into the office and pour her heart out to you?
00:38Well, we have worked together for years.
00:41Uh, she has worked for you for years.
00:46Plus, you're not exactly the easiest person to talk to about things like that.
00:53Kind of like after a certain age, everything I knew about you came through your mother.
01:00I mean, who can understand teenage girls?
01:03Certainly not me.
01:05I wish his mom was easier to talk to about certain things.
01:09And if you needed to know, she knew exactly how to tell you.
01:13It was her superpower.
01:15Among many.
01:17True.
01:20Baker has been one of your most trusted advisors for years.
01:26I'm sure she just feels like I did when I was going through my divorce with Jack.
01:33Which was, you're the last person I wanted to know about it.
01:40I hope that isn't true.
01:44It's just that you set these standards for yourself, Dad, that are impossible to meet, but somehow you do.
01:51But it's a hard measure for others to put themselves up against.
01:54Especially at their most vulnerable time.
02:02For such a smart guy, I sure didn't handle this very well.
02:08You can't change who you are to her.
02:12All you can do is show grace.
