Eric, I'm going to give you a scenario.

I'm ready.

It's not going to be our normal scenario.

And my grandfather's on the plane on the right.

And they can't even reach each other to die holding hands

themselves otherwise, then it's absolutely my family. Because then when they miss, you come back
