This is a short clip from Californication S01 E08.I do not own this show i just want to "spread the love",so please,if you enjoyed this short clip,please buy the DVD.
For those who don’t know, Hank’s old man was killed by a home made bomb attached to his wheel chair. He could only communicate through the use of a bell before he passed away. The explosion also claimed the life of someone called Gustavo Fring. Look him up, interesting dude.
This scene is one of the many reasons why I love this show so much. Yes, there are parts that are totally wild and hilariously ludicrous. But this show has so much heart and that's what I love about it overall.
I also love what they said on last man standing. “I thought my father was a miserable bastard, you think I’m a miserable bastard, and your kids think you are a miserable bastard, that’s being a father!”
. . . " That's, only being a 'miserable bastard' of a father ... a cop-out of all the times and days and weeks and months and years and decades of choosing NOT to be that 'miserable bastard of a father'. The truth is it takes thinking past yourself - and they can't be bothered to .
My dad died 3 years ago, I was 25. I still remember leaving the ICU, us both crying, maybe subconsciously I knew this was the last time I’d see him. I was by his bed for two weeks, but had to go back home for work, he had just came off the ventilator, and the nurses said he looked like he was on the mend. We talked a few times after, but he died two weeks later. This scene always makes me think of him.
omg, came here, because he looks like the old guy from Breaking Bad, but realized he sounded like Bukowski and wanted to check if anyone else noticed. :D
"oh p. S. I saw a preview of your movie the other night. It looks like a piece of shit." what a great letter considering how he acted on set with hank. I have a feeling his dad would've been a good writer too. Considering how well put and purposeful this singular letter was to soothe his son after his death.
I lost my dad in 2012, it’s been 9 years and still never gets easier I’m missing him every day and I’m grateful I had a father like him, he visits me in my dreams and I feel his presence in my life, what I’m trying to say is, don’t steer from the pain, take the pain and embrace it, you will feel the power of what he left you
@@JoeyColdCuts I lost my dad to cancer last month and it just seems like it's only going to get more difficult to bear with as time goes. Each day I find myself missing him more and missing our conversations. What I wouldn't do to have just one more talk with him
It had been at least a year if not two years since I had seen this episode and just seeing this video right now, just brought tears to my eyes. Damn. 💝💔
My dad never bailed physically but emotionally he kind of did. Years later i got the courage to talk with him about it and say the toll it took. He said not im sorry or anything like that,but i know how you feel i never wanted you to feel that way. Its hard to stop a hugh rock moving down hill sometimes but its not impossible.
Hey thanks for putting this clip up, this makes me cry every time I watch it because I miss my family and most of all I miss my dad while I am up at college. I just hits a chord that makes me upset but sometimes it's ok to be upset so when I need to cry I usually watch this. Thanks for putting it up.
To my son the writer, Something I never said too you much - I love you. My father never said it much either, and I thought I'd be different, but I guess I'm not. I've tried, but somewhere along the line you slip back into what you know and I'm sorry about that. And I am sorry we haven't talked in a while because I miss you, you're a good kid and a funny kid, and you're my only son. I said I never read your books but I lied, I read 'em all, I just didn't know how to talk about them with 'ya. I didn't like the fathers in them. I know you writers take liberties but I was afraid that maybe you didn't take any at all. But that's the thing; boys become men and men become husbands and fathers and we do the best we can. You're doing the best you can, you've done good, your books will be in libraries long after we are both gone and this is important. More important is how you treat your family. I wasn't a perfect husband but I loved your mother, and I'm glad we spent our lives together and I am here if you need me. That is all I wanted to say. Love your old man. P.S. I saw a preview of your movie the other night, it looks like a piece of shit - maybe you were right.
" I know you writers take liberties but I was afraid that maybe you didn't take any at all. But that's the thing; boys become men and men become husbands and fathers and we do the best we can." I didn't understand what he meant by this. Anyone care to explain?
@@DanMakabreHanks father visits the family and like father and sons do they but heads. When asked about the books Hank wrote his dad said he never read them. When they were on a film set for one of them the dad said I think this is great but Hank hated it. Then sometime after the dad died, that letter told Hank that he was proud of what his son did, that he wished he could have been there more , he read the books he just realized that's the shitty father his son saw him as, it broke his heart. Also he was right the movie did suck lol. It was a dad telling his son I love you don't be too hard on yourself,and appreciate the time you have with family.
THANK YOU!!! I've been looking for the scene for a long time, my favorite scene from my favorite show, in this episode we find out why Hank and Karen split in the first place, then after this scene they, uh, "make love", for the first time in the series.
yeah this is a great scene. This totally reminds me of my old man, he wasnt the best husband to my mother or the best father but he's right as long as you do the best you can and your family is your main priority. I also thought the rocket man song was on this epsiode
This specific scene is why I threw out my first novel. I didn't want my dad to feel this way. Still haven't told him the exact reason why I threw out the first one though. I'm currently working on something he will be proud of, without feeling bad.
I actually have mixed feelings about this letter. It sounds great. But in the end of the day it's something that took him 20 minutes to write vs. years of dedication as a father. I'm a father and I have my struggles. I totally understand how they both feel. The letter to Becca is way more honest in my opinion. This one sounds good because the guy just died and, of course, what's the point of not being grateful? But it's an easy way out to years of providing frustration to the family.
It's scenes like this that make Californication so great.. Such depth with great writing and profound emotion.

The later seasons just didn't have the element
@@rahulraina6303 - It's about 1-4!
God this show could have used less porn and more of this
@@rahulraina6303 for sure

Gustavo Fring, the guy who runs a fried chicken restaurant and drives a Volvo?! No way!
Nice😂
He was part of the cartel
The more things change, the more they stay the same
Somewhere around there was a bald man with a mustache kinda cancery looking and Young well educated boy 😂
13 years ago, still remember this scene vividly. RIP Mark Margolis
Man these shows keep you sane
I swear, i stress easily tbf so i have an interview with a School tommorow, searched this again to calm me down before it
One of the best scenes ever, along with letter to Karen and letter to Becca. The writing is so powerful.
Three of the best scenes of the series
This scene is one of the many reasons why I love this show so much. Yes, there are parts that are totally wild and hilariously ludicrous. But this show has so much heart and that's what I love about it overall.
Rest in peace, Mark Margolis.
This one already made me cry, now it's gonna ruin me. RIP Mark
This hits hard. I feel like this letter is secretly what my dad is trying to tell me
Your movie looks like a piece of shit, too?
you are a writer too?
Same, except it's my late nana.. My grandmother, God rest her soul, was not perfect, but dammit, she did the best she could.
Here three years after I binged this show and I found this scene again. I had forgot how good it was.
I teared the entire scene...
I also love what they said on last man standing. “I thought my father was a miserable bastard, you think I’m a miserable bastard, and your kids think you are a miserable bastard, that’s being a father!”
. . . " That's, only being a 'miserable bastard' of a father ... a cop-out of all the
times and days and weeks and months and years and decades of choosing
NOT to be that 'miserable bastard of a
father'. The truth is it takes thinking past yourself - and they can't be bothered to .
I'm a thousand miles away from my father. Miss him so much, I will do my best for him and I.

Sorry for your loss
I think it's a bit interesting that Hank's dad sounds like Charles Bukowski.
He sounds like Herbert Huncke or someone else the Beats would’ve ran with
I thought the same, his voice and way of talking is very similar to Bukowski, also Bukowski is an inspiration to the main character, Hank.
I think the whole series was inspired by him writing drinking and smoking
omg, came here, because he looks like the old guy from Breaking Bad, but realized he sounded like Bukowski and wanted to check if anyone else noticed. :D
I'm not convinced that's even the actor's real voice. Sounds more like Elliott Gould.
Man. Such writing. It’s absolutely amazing.
its crazy to see mark margolis play someone other than Hector Salamonca and become a completely different character. very impressive.
This scene is why I want 2 be more famous so my dad can say something even close like this 2 me
Colby MTV1 ? You are
Hang in there brother... dads are jerks 🤣
Do it for you man, not him
"oh p. S. I saw a preview of your movie the other night. It looks like a piece of shit." what a great letter considering how he acted on set with hank.

my dad just passed yesterday...and this came to mind :(
I'm sorry to hear that. It's taken me 18 years to process, but whenever you need a piece of your old man, he left you.
Sorry to hear. Saw this now. Hope you’re good!

Am I the only one still ugly crying over this in 2021?
Nope
Nope
2019 and I still love this scene

My favorite performance of his, Hector Salamanca notwithstanding. RIP, Mark Margolis.
I really needed this show in COVID's time. Hate you Netflix
RIP
Holy shit, that is the same guy who played Hector Salamanca! Nice!
Came here when I heard the news. Rest in peace Mark Margolis.

super scene...
so deep and so true...
i use it sometimes in my coaching work....
I'm a writer, and my father died four years ago. I wish he had written something like this to me. He just wasn't that kind of dad.
Don Salamanca had feelings!
THANK YOU!!! I've been looking for the scene for a long time, my favorite scene from my favorite show, in this episode we find out why Hank and Karen split in the first place, then after this scene they, uh, "make love", for the first time in the series.
Although I don't think he looked the part as Hank's father, Margolis had amazing chemistry with him and they did great scenes together.
RIP Mark Margolis
Man this scene hits so hard...
Best scene in the whole show for me.
I recently watched some videos with Bukowskis. It's funny how similar they sound
Now, we are here. Mark Margolis has passed away :/
God I just love it so much.
His name is Mark Margolis.
I was zero days old when I realised Hector was hanks dad
Call your dad.
What!!!
Is Hector Salamanca his dad?????
Got tears
yeah this is a great scene. This totally reminds me of my old man, he wasnt the best husband to my mother or the best father but he's right as long as you do the best you can and your family is your main priority. I also thought the rocket man song was on this epsiode
what episode is the rocket man song in?
@@bobjoe187 final of 2?
This is my father and me. The old man and the writer.
shiiit, didnt even realise, hector was hanks dad

I feel you
I know it's been 3 years but Did you publish it?

Ding ding ding ding ding
Vow.
So Hector Salamanca was actually a good guy...I knew it!!!
Ventuuuuraaaa...yes satan?
Why is Hector Salamanca here?
maybe he is? anyone? conspiracy theories?
