Hook

Their other posts in the index, biggest breakout first.
Married 3 times, divorced twice to each other. They fought. I got a great story in Greenlights of them fighting and my mom bashing and breaking my dad's nose with the phone. Him getting angry, her pulling a chef's knife out. Him dancing around, dodging these blades and then grabbing a ketchup bottle and like a matador going, "Touché!" and splattering her with it. She's getting it out and I was just getting so damn, "I'll cut you from your fucking ear to your toe!" and then "Touché!" and finally her getting so frustrated, throwing the knife down, crying, both of them crying, coming together, embracing, going to the floor on the linoleum kitchen floor and making love. No grudges. We're not going to ground you because that'd be taking away your time and your time is the most valuable thing you got. So take your licking, you're not going to get injured, it's going to hurt and don't yell because if you yell, more of the licks, you're going to get another one. Licks with a belt. Um, I mean, divorced twice, married three times is a pretty good example of can't live with you, can't live without you. The one thing I remember being as crystal clear to me when I was eight years old, shaking hands with these two guys that turned out now later in life, I know they were actually dad's collectors. I shook their hand, Oak Forest Country Club parking lot, the sun was down in my eyes, they had shades on. I asked her, "Nice to meet you, sir. Nice to meet you, sir." And I remember in my eight-year-old mind going, "You know, everyone that my dad's making me say sir to, the one common denominator besides being older men is they're all fathers." And in my head I went like, "Oh, that's what success is. If you become a father, you've succeeded." And that was in my eight-year-old, that was the math I did in my eight-year-old mind and it stuck with me. So the one thing I always knew was I wanted to be a dad. I meet Camila, fall in love, we make three children. I got 17, 15, 12. There's nothing that I can put ahead of the, there's, let's put it this way, there's no time that I spend being a father that I do not feel like that is the absolute best time I could be spending.
