4) I followed. And sat in the chair next to him. This is how he and my mom sat all the time. When you'd drive to see them, and pull up, 90% of the time, that's where they'd be. So this was sad but nice. The two of us, in the evening air, just sitting, silently, together.

7) The door behind us opens. I feel a presence standing there. Hovering. Right behind my dad, the new widower, and me, the guy who just lost his mom. And I can feel it isn't my sisters or someone there to offer support, you know...

8) Out of the corner of my eye, I see it's the father of one of my brother's in law (now ex). This man and I are not close. I keep looking straight ahead. I don't say hello. I hope that as a human person, he will recognize the situation, the intimate and private situation.

10) And then I hear it. "Hey, Brian, not for nothing, but I got a humdinger of a movie idea." "Not now Allen." "But it's a really good idea." "NOT NOW ALLEN" "Okay. Your loss." And he goes back inside. Your. Loss. (It gets better)

11) So he leaves. My dad, whose neck had gotten as red as a fire truck, exhales, and we keep sitting there. Then we go back inside. As soon as I hit the door, the guy is on me again.

12) "It's just this is a once in a lifetime idea. And if I don't tell you, none of us profits. But if I do, you could really make out. And I could make out too." Understand, that even as I wanted to hit him, I knew this was one of the best things ever, and I'd tell it for years.
