"[recording a message] Hey... Uh... Hey, there... It's me... Dad. You listening, Tim? Good. Then understand one thing: If you don't get here, it's not your fault. I need you to know this, Tim-- It's not your fault. Okay? You didn't do this. I love you, Tim. I love you just like your mother loves you. I just-- wanted to say how great it was today. Honest. Just--it was great. Anyway, if you have some time, make sure to watch the news tonight--yer old dad's gonna finally make you proud. Don't worry-- This is the one, lad. I mean, the real one. The one that puts m-- that puts us back on the map. What you do... for all those people... it's worth it, Tim. Never question it. It's worth it. Tell Bruce to take care of you..."
