"You're havin' a bad month." - John to Walt, Pilot, Part 2
"Vincent - I tethered him to a tree just over there. I know that Walt lost
his mom. I thought that you should be the one to bring his dog back to
him."- John to Michael, Tabula Rasa
For some reason, Michael and Walt are two characters I've neglected somewhat, but I love John's interaction with Walt in the pilot and his facilitation of his reunion with Vincent in Tabula Rasa. I would imagine that, given how poorly he was parented, he is especially hopeful that Michael will give Walt the kind of love and guidance he himself so sorely needed.
Bad Month
Michael, I know what he’s missing the most,
And would you believe that I found what he lost?
I tethered his Lab up to that tree,
But credit for that won’t go to me.
It should be you who brings his dog.
You feel like your boy’s just a kid you don’t know;
As long as you try, you will learn as you go.
He needs a good dad, and you’ll do fine.
You’ll manage to make up for lost time.
It should be you who brings his dog
‘Cause he’s had a bad month.
He’s gotta feel down,
But he can stay strong since he has you around.
As long as he knows his dad’s on his side,
Your wandering child’s gonna take it in stride.
He’s had a bad month.
He watched his mom die.
Los Angeles bound, he was thrown from the sky.
He’s had a bad month.
He’s had a bad month.
Before he wakes up, just slip away.
Get Vincent and brighten up his day.
It should be you who brings his dog.
He’s had a bad month.
He’s gotta feel down,
But he can stay strong since he has you around.
As long as he knows his dad’s on his side,
Your wandering child’s gonna take it in stride.
He’s had a bad month.
He watched his mom die.
Los Angeles bound, he was thrown from the sky.
He’s had a bad month.
Oh, what a lousy month!
Sadly, a son can struggle and sink
If a parent he trusts is gone.
Before you make it back to L.A.,
He ought to know that you’re the one
He can count on.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So hurry and go, and I swear I won’t boast.
Just you and I
Will know how you found what was hopelessly lost.
‘Cause he’s had a bad month.
He’s gotta feel down,
But he can stay strong since he has you around.
As long as he knows his dad’s on his side,
Your wandering child’s gonna take it in stride.
He’s had a bad month.
He watched his mom die.
He met you and thought, “Who’s this guy?”
He’s had a bad month.
He had a bad month.
Had a bad month. Had
a bad month. Had a bad month…
