[ While he thinks Arnold kisses Lisa goodbye, and she calls out that Liam Get well soon, baby, okay? and gets dressed. By the time Liam answers, there is the sound of chopper blades audible ]

I'm your father. [ Firm, nothing of the usual ditzy airhead ] I'm coming Liam, the chopper is warming up, I should be there soon. Hang on, okay?

[He groans.]

Dad... are you really taking the chopper? It's only three hours, you can take the limo.

[...Yes, your son is suggesting using the low gas mileage limo instead of the electric car. Something is wrong.]

The chopper is faster. I'll plant a tree after, okay? Liam... [ gently ] I'll be there soon, okay? You'll be fine.

[Liam sniffles in either tears or from illness - perhaps both, as his voice is shaky when he speaks.]

I love you, Dad. And Mom and Keira too. You'll tell them later, right?

[bythewaves]

You'll tell her yourself [ almost yelling, as the blades whip up ]

Because you'll be fine. I love you, Liam. Your mom loves you, and so does your sister. You'll be fine.
