Exactly what I'm saying!

Yep, we differ here. At the post divorce scene, he says he had the girls this weekend which he did. The most telling line for me was when he said that he didn’t know what to say. He couldn't think of anything to say to heal Jack's hurt therefore he didn't say anything. When he did apologise, he said to Jack "]I'm sorry]..you know I am". Those brief words told Jack everything. Of course it was horrible for Jack to hear, but it was honest.

Oh sorry I,m sure. Bucket, plate who cares? Picky. ::) ::) ::) And I still say he just dropped it. How can dropping a bucket in the water mean anything significant? Or is there something mysterious about buckets I,m not aware of? hmmmmmm. ;) ;D

Sure there is. Maybe if you read the thread Front-Ranger linked? But that's not everybody's cup of tea. Some people are just not (that much) into symbolism, and that's completely ok. You're not the only one who disagrees about things like buckets, metal or whatever. :)
