Multiple times. And I doubt you have heard any of it. You have the facility to tune out anything don't you? Apart from the times your weak-willed father agrees to bail you out again of course. <br />You are winging it again aren't you. Surfing? Drumming? Art? None of them are real jobs, with the potential to offer you a decent lifestyle. Have you considered what your future will look like? No, I didn't think so. I will give it to you straight. Unless you change your ways you will spend your life in greasy kitchens flipping pancakes. If you are lucky. And there will be nothing gourmet about the flavours or the lifestyle your wages will offer ... Listen to me. I am telling you this for your own good..'<br /><br /><i>Whatever. Surf's up.
