Look, I didn't say anything before,

What?
It's not as high as it
looks. I promise you.
The water's super choppy.
You just have to time your jump.
After you do it once, it's like nothing.
I swear. You want me to jump with you?
- Maybe.

Oh, my God. AJ, just go.
You're not really
scared of heights anyway.
What? Yes, I am.
I literally watched you jump off
the 5-meter platform junior year.
That was indoors, and I was drunk.

Thanks for coming down.
Used to do this a lot, remember?
- Kids grow up, Dad.
- Yeah, I know.
They get boyfriends, too.
- You need to accept that.
- I do.
I try.
Part of my job as a father
is to protect the past.

follow your own passion,

What?
I have to think about the future, too.

Yeah.
