After some thoughtful conversation about the evil stepmother:

"Dad, I can't pay that last medical bill..."

He's digging a trench for a sprinkler system and barely looks up:

"Yeah, I'll send that in. Don't worry about it."

"You know I should probably sue anyways..." My knee is fucked.

"Well, Ange, this is the best time you are gonna have, so you better get out there and have it. Wanna take the car and go to Maria's?"

Would I like to take the 1991 Mercedes Benz to my Aunt's lake cabin where all my cousins sit sippin' Gin 'n' Tonics and fine red wine?

"Yeah, that'd be cool. Thanks Dad."

I popped a The Beatles mix tape from 1967-1972 and hit the gas.

Getting out There and having It, singing along the whole way.
