An elderly man notices his troublesome, twenty-nine year old son Ricky lingering in his driveway. He recalls the trouble that Ricky always finds himself in- involving himself in an affair, shooting someone else involved in the affair, buying a lame pony, reselling that lame pony and getting beat up for it. The elderly man invites his son in anyway. After chatting for a while, Ricky begins telling his father that he has a problem, then stops as he notices his father's pills sitting out. He tells him he has enough of his own problems, and stops telling him. But the old man asks him to continue, realizing that the only thing going on in his life was his son's problems
