What are you doing?

Largeman, get the fuck in the pool!

SAM
Can't you swim?
ANDREW
Of course I can swim.
JESSE
Dude, maybe you should stay on the steps. I don't know C.P.R.
MARK
You look like a wet beaver.
ANDREW
There's a handful of normal kid things I kind of missed.
SAM
There’s a handful of normal kid things I kind of wish I missed
ANDREW
You know that point in your life when you realize the house you grew up in, isn't really your home anymore. All of a sudden, even though you have some place where you put your shit, that idea of home is gone.
SAM
I still feel at home in my house.
ANDREW
You'll see one day when you move out. Just sorta happens one day, and it's gone. You feel like you can never get it back. It's like you feel homesick for a place that doesn't even exist. Maybe it's like this rite of passage, you know? You won't ever have that feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself. You know, for... For your kids. For the family you start. It's like a cycle or something. I don't know. But I miss the idea of it, you know? Maybe that's all family really is. A group of people that miss the same imaginary place.
SAM
Maybe.
