59. Fishing with Dad (B)


Henry: I'm so glad Maria's finally found someone to settle down with.

Mike: I'm honored that she chose me, out of all people.

Henry: Now don't you say that. From what Maria has told me, you seem to be doing pretty well for yourself.

Mike: I try my best to support her. We're actually thinking of buying a house after the wedding.

Henry: Is that so? That sounds like a good idea. Are you two planning on staying in Pasadena?

Mike: We haven't really discussed where yet. Our options are open, though.

Henry: Why don't the two of you come live in San Diego?

Mike: That's something to consider. Of course, I'd have to find the right job down here, first. I'll bring it up to Maria the next time I get the chance.

Henry: Mike, I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking good care of my little girl.

Mike: That means a lot coming from you, sir.

Henry: I wish the two of you nothing but the best.

Mike: Thank you. Is there any advice you can give to a future husband?

Henry: Yes. Don't have any children!

(Mike and Henry share a good laugh. They happily fish together for the rest of the day.)
