- Daddy, it won't float.

- It's not supposed to float. It's a submarine. It's a boat that goes underwater.

- Hello? When?

- I thought I had the flu. I'd still think I had the flu if they weren't telling me otherwise.

- Well, what... What are they telling you?

- Pancreatic cancer of an aggressive nature, if I heard them right. Jesus.

- Well, what does that mean?

- I guess it means I'm in big trouble.

- No, I mean, can they operate or...

- Maybe. That's what they said. Maybe. But it sounds suspiciously like no to me.

- Hey, I'm not dead yet. But I am in the hospital, which means that I'm not in my office, which means I don't know what's going on.

- I need you there.

- Where?

- In my office, doing my job.

- I hate not knowing what's going on, Jack. You know that.
