I just, even today as I think about it, it's just very sad.

It is sad, and I don't think that attitude on my father's part did him any favors either.

I also there's, I think, a scene in the book where certainly there's a scene in The Splendid Things We Planned where Scott has died under very sordid circumstances.

He either killed himself or was murdered in the Oklahoma County jail, which is an awful place.

And we were going to have a very small funeral at my mother's.

And I was talking to my father and I said, you know, I'll see you there or whatever.

And he said, well, I don't know if I'm going or not.

Let me put it that way.
