been meaning to ask you about that . you should have let nick take me back to dials . in my peripheral vision , i saw him take a pack of cigarettes from his pocket . clearing his throat , my father steps forward . `` it should n't take me more than a few minutes to apologize . '' he knew she was sick , and he was still going to use her . i probably wouldnt see any of them again for the rest of my life . `` assuming there 's anywhere we could land . ''
