Joe O'Toole : So I need to uh, make a confession.
Oliver O'Toole : Okay?
Joe O'Toole : Yesterday you asked me if you've ever been in these woods before and you have.
Oliver O'Toole : When?
Joe O'Toole : You were about seven or eight and you kept begging your mom and me to take you hiking in the mountains. So we did. And you loved it, you loved the freedom, the birds, you kept running out ahead of us to protect us from the bears.
Oliver O'Toole : Huh.
Joe O'Toole : And then you ran out so far ahead that we lost you. And we started calling out and things got scary, we panicked and she blamed me and I blamed her and well, we got in a fight, not our first one, but something about being out alone in the forest made it seem so much more raw and bitter than it had ever been before. Like there was nothing civilized there to make us hold back and we said some awful stuff. And then we looked around and there you were standing there watching us, absolutely brokenhearted. I could never get you to come back to the mountains after that. You were so afraid your mom and I would start fighting again. You were always trying to protect us from the bears. You even asked me if there was a way for you to go to the forest without actually going to the forest. So I, well...
Oliver O'Toole : That's why you got me "Bird Songs of the Rocky Mountains".
Joe O'Toole : It was either that or Evergreen air freshener. Your mother left us a few weeks later. And it wasn't my fault and it definitely wasn't yours. But I think all these years the little boy deep down inside of you believed it was. And you've lost a lot of time and you've missed a lot of love. And look at how long it took you to come back to the forest. Don't wait for the pain to go away Ollie. Just, just leave it here on the mountain, okay son? Then go back and start over.
