Avery Seeks Answers from Dani | For All Mankind Season 5 | Love Love

There you are. How was the ride? Did you talk to OPAF about me? Well, hello to you too. Come on in. What did you say to them? Well, I told them that you were incredibly bright, highly motivated, tenacious, and that they'd be lucky to have you. What else? They asked about your family. My dog. And your uncle, and your grandmama, and your granddaddy too. What'd you say? I said that your father was very talented, but that he had serious psychological issues. They already know that. It's in his service records. I said that living in the shadow of what he did it wasn't easy on you. It was a burden you took up and it wasn't yours to carry. They're giving me a second Pauly. Good. Good. That means you're still in the running. In fact, it means they really like you. Otherwise they wouldn't bother giving you a second shot. Just, I can't screw it up. Then be honest. I was. My dad is not. He's never been part of my life. I don't give a ---- about him. Avery. Come sit down. Your dad became an astronaut because he had something to prove to the world. That he could live up to the legacy of his parents. And because he thought that was what was expected of him. But deep in his heart it wasn't what he wanted. He lied. To his superiors. To Ed. To me. And to himself. That is what killed him. And if you're doing all this just to prove that you aren't him you'll fail too. I want my own life. No one else's. Then tell them that. That is what they need to hear. Excuse me. You gonna just walk on through here and not say hello to Avery? Hi Avery. She's getting big. Too big. I can hardly keep up with her. Come on. Eat something. Actually, I should get back to Pendleton. Already? Wait, you just got here. Yeah. I'm sorry I came in so hot. Come here. You know I love you no matter what, right? And you're gonna need that fire in your belly for what's to come. I love you too. I'm surprised to see that. After everything that happened between you. Love. Hate. The older you get, the more you start to realize they're not so different.
