His father, who walked out of his life when he was nine years old, has come back looking for him. Cliff Clavin Sr. wants to make peace with his long lost son before he needs to leave town the following day. Although Cliff Jr. initially wants nothing to do with his father, a childish act on his father's part is the ice-breaker needed, and Cliff Jr. falls under the spell of his dad. They spend a fun filled day together before Cliff Sr. has to head off. He asks Cliff Jr. to come with him to Australia. Beyond patriotic Cliff Jr. leaving his beloved US and the US Postal Service, the reason for Cliff Sr.'s trip may also factor into Cliff Jr.'s decisions.—Huggo
