Try Treating Him Better (I Should Have Known Better, John Lennon)
"Would you do me a favor? If you and Sarah ever have a kid, try to treat him a little better than I treated you." - Christian, The Watch
Christian wasn't always a great dad to Jack, but at least he was aware of it and wanted to change things toward the end. Here's Christian in the mobisode The Watch, to the tune of the Beatles' I Should Have Known Better.
Try Treating Him Better
Try treating him better than I treated you.
That’s what I hope you and Sarah will do
If you two have a kid, or a few.
You know, I never meant to be such a lousy dad,
But you have a right to be mad.
I feel bad. I feel bad.
I’m sure that you can break the cycle, son.
Your kid will be the lucky one. Oh,
Don‘t let your life wind up like mine.
Please don’t repeat what I have done.
Here, I hope this watch reminds you what I said and why.
Don’t let the days and minutes pass you by
Because time is in short, short supply.
You know, I never meant to be such a lousy dad.
But you have a right to be mad.
I feel bad. I feel bad.
I’m sure that you can break the cycle, son.
Your kid will be the lucky one. Oh,
Don‘t let your life wind up like mine.
Please don’t repeat what I have done.
Do better, son.
Do better, son.
Do better, son.
