“I got a pretty bad case of cancer.”

“Richie: Dad, you were never dying.

Royal: But I’m going to live. “

“Don’t confront me with my failures…I had not forgotten them.”

Composed at the age of 16, Jackson Browne performs an acoustic version of the sweet sorrow of song,”These Days.”

Eli: Yes, I know, you’re in love with Richie. Which is sick and gross.
