00:03Is everything okay?
00:05What?
00:07You've been halfway here since you walked through the door.
00:17Well, 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.
00:29Oh, come on, Dad.
00:31What?
00:33What do you expect? That she's going to walk into the office and pour her heart out to you?
00:37Well, we have worked together for years.
00:40Uh, she has worked for you for years.
00:45Plus, you're not exactly the easiest person to talk to about things like that.
00:52Kind of like after a certain age, everything I knew about you came through your mother.
00:59I mean, who can understand teenage girls?
01:03Certainly not me.
01:04I wish his mom was easier to talk to about certain things.
01:08And if you needed to know, she knew exactly how to tell you.
01:12It was her superpower.
01:14Among many.
01:16True.
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.
01:32Which was, you're the last person I wanted to know about it.
01:39I 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.
01:50But it's a hard measure for others to put themselves up against, especially at their most vulnerable time.
02:01For such a smart guy, I sure didn't handle this very well.
02:08You can't change who you are to her.
02:11All you can do is show grace.
