1
00:00:05,706 --> 00:00:07,275
SO I'VE GOT HER
SPREAD-EAGLED

2
00:00:07,375 --> 00:00:09,977
ON TOP OF A TABLE
IN THE LAW SCHOOL LIBRARY
AFTER HOURS

3
00:00:10,078 --> 00:00:13,614
AND I AM TERRIFIED

4
00:00:13,714 --> 00:00:16,850
BECAUSE, WELL,
YOU KNOW...

5
00:00:16,950 --> 00:00:18,552
BECAUSE YOU'RE
AFRAID THAT--

6
00:00:18,652 --> 00:00:20,521
YES.
MM-HMM.

7
00:00:20,621 --> 00:00:22,790
I SWEAR TO GOD,
I'M RECITING TORT REFORM
IN MY HEAD

8
00:00:22,890 --> 00:00:25,093
SO I WON'T COME.

9
00:00:25,193 --> 00:00:27,828
SO FINALLY I GET
HER PANTIES OFF

10
00:00:27,928 --> 00:00:29,663
AND SHE'S SITTING
THERE BUCK NAKED

11
00:00:29,763 --> 00:00:32,666
ON TOP OF
ALL THESE BACK ISSUES
OF "THE LAW REVIEW."

12
00:00:32,766 --> 00:00:35,236
AND SUDDENLY
I JUST KNOW

13
00:00:35,336 --> 00:00:38,906
THAT IT ISN'T
GOING TO HAPPEN.

14
00:00:39,006 --> 00:00:41,775
YOU COULDN'T HAVE--

15
00:00:41,875 --> 00:00:45,746
RIGHT, YEAH.

16
00:00:45,846 --> 00:00:48,015
AND SHE TURNS TO ME
AND SHE SAYS,

17
00:00:48,116 --> 00:00:50,751
"IT'S OKAY, ELI,
YOU KNOW.

18
00:00:50,851 --> 00:00:52,286
IT HAPPENS TO EVERYBODY
SOMETIMES."

19
00:00:52,386 --> 00:00:55,323
AND SHE IS SO FUCKING
UNDERSTANDING

20
00:00:55,423 --> 00:00:57,258
THAT IT REALLY FUCKING
PISSES ME OFF.

21
00:00:57,358 --> 00:00:59,260
AND THEN
SHE STARTS TO SAY

22
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,329
ALL OF THESE
REALLY SHITTY THINGS.

23
00:01:01,429 --> 00:01:02,896
LIKE WHAT?

24
00:01:02,996 --> 00:01:04,898
"DON'T GET
SO UPSET, ELI.

25
00:01:04,998 --> 00:01:07,635
IT ISN'T MANLY."

26
00:01:07,735 --> 00:01:10,971
I MEAN, WHAT THE FUCK
DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?
WHAT THE FUCK IS MANLY?

27
00:01:11,071 --> 00:01:13,674
( crashing )

28
00:01:15,676 --> 00:01:19,613
CAN YOU JUST
GIVE ME A SECOND,
PLEASE?

29
00:01:28,689 --> 00:01:30,458
I'M SORRY.

30
00:01:30,558 --> 00:01:33,961
THAT'S OKAY.

31
00:01:34,061 --> 00:01:36,096
YOU'RE ABOUT AN HOUR
AND A HALF EARLY.

32
00:01:36,197 --> 00:01:38,699
I CAN WAIT.

33
00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:40,534
IS EVERYTHING OKAY?

34
00:01:40,634 --> 00:01:44,104
SHOULDN'T YOU BE
IN SCHOOL?

35
00:01:44,205 --> 00:01:46,240
WE GOT OUT EARLY.

36
00:01:46,340 --> 00:01:49,210
YOU CAME HERE
BY YOURSELF?

37
00:01:49,310 --> 00:01:52,980
WHERE'S YOUR MOM
AND DAD?

38
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,417
- I RAN AWAY FROM SCHOOL.
- OH.

39
00:01:56,517 --> 00:01:58,786
I CAN'T
GO BACK TO SCHOOL.

40
00:02:00,854 --> 00:02:02,990
UM, OKAY.

41
00:02:03,090 --> 00:02:04,592
YOU KNOW WHAT?
YOU CAN STAY HERE.

42
00:02:04,692 --> 00:02:06,960
BUT I'M GOING TO HAVE
TO CALL YOUR DAD.

43
00:02:07,060 --> 00:02:09,430
GOOD.

44
00:02:12,500 --> 00:02:17,305
( theme music playing )

45
00:02:34,154 --> 00:02:35,656
ARE YOU MAD AT ME?

46
00:02:35,756 --> 00:02:37,225
NOT AT ALL.

47
00:02:37,325 --> 00:02:38,792
BUT I AM CONCERNED
ABOUT YOU.

48
00:02:38,892 --> 00:02:41,929
DO YOU WANT TO TELL ME
WHY YOU RAN AWAY
FROM SCHOOL?

49
00:02:42,029 --> 00:02:43,497
BAD DAY.

50
00:02:43,597 --> 00:02:45,233
WHAT HAPPENED?

51
00:02:45,333 --> 00:02:47,268
CAN'T I JUST
SIT HERE?

52
00:02:47,368 --> 00:02:49,136
I JUST THOUGHT--
YOU CAME HERE SO EARLY,

53
00:02:49,237 --> 00:02:51,905
YOU MUST HAVE SOMETHING
THAT YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT.

54
00:02:52,005 --> 00:02:53,441
I TOLD YOU--

55
00:02:53,541 --> 00:02:55,443
MY MOM'S STILL AWAY
AND MY DAD'S AT WORK.

56
00:02:55,543 --> 00:02:58,145
BUT YOU'VE GOT KEYS
TO BOTH THEIR APARTMENTS,

57
00:02:58,246 --> 00:03:00,848
AND YOU CAME HERE.

58
00:03:00,948 --> 00:03:04,452
DO YOU HAVE
ANY MORE HAM?

59
00:03:04,552 --> 00:03:07,120
YOU WANT ME TO MAKE YOU
ANOTHER SANDWICH?

60
00:03:07,221 --> 00:03:08,722
IS THAT OKAY?

61
00:03:08,822 --> 00:03:10,358
SURE.
I CAN DO THAT.

62
00:03:10,458 --> 00:03:12,192
BUT I HOPE BY NOW
YOU UNDERSTAND

63
00:03:12,293 --> 00:03:14,161
THAT IF THERE'S
SOMETHING BOTHERING YOU,

64
00:03:14,262 --> 00:03:17,665
YOU CAN TALK
TO ME ABOUT IT.

65
00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:23,671
SOMEBODY PUT DOG SHIT
IN MY LOCKER.

66
00:03:35,783 --> 00:03:37,918
THAT'S TERRIBLE.

67
00:03:39,119 --> 00:03:40,988
WHEN WAS THIS?

68
00:03:41,088 --> 00:03:43,524
I CAME DOWN FROM
THE ROOF AT RECESS

69
00:03:43,624 --> 00:03:46,594
TO GET MY GLOVES
OUT OF MY LOCKER.

70
00:03:46,694 --> 00:03:48,362
WHEN I OPENED IT

71
00:03:48,462 --> 00:03:51,465
THERE WAS DOG SHIT
EVERYWHERE,

72
00:03:51,565 --> 00:03:53,834
ALL OVER MY BACKPACK
AND ALL MY STUFF.

73
00:03:53,934 --> 00:03:55,903
I WENT BACK TO THE ROOF
TO TELL MY TEACHER.

74
00:03:56,003 --> 00:03:58,672
- WHAT DID SHE SAY?
- SHE GOT A JANITOR
TO CLEAN IT UP.

75
00:03:58,772 --> 00:04:01,241
BUT RECESS WAS OVER,
SO EVERYBODY KNEW
WHAT HAPPENED.

76
00:04:01,342 --> 00:04:04,778
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE?

77
00:04:04,878 --> 00:04:06,246
ERIC.

78
00:04:06,347 --> 00:04:10,017
BUT NOBODY SAW HIM,

79
00:04:10,117 --> 00:04:11,585
SO NOTHING'S GONNA
HAPPEN TO HIM.

80
00:04:11,685 --> 00:04:15,389
YEAH, WELL, I REMEMBER
WHAT HE DID TO YOUR SHOES,

81
00:04:15,489 --> 00:04:19,660
SO I GUESS THIS WOULD BE
HIS NEXT LOGICAL STEP.

82
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,962
ALL THROUGH MATH
EVERYBODY LAUGHED
ABOUT IT.

83
00:04:22,062 --> 00:04:26,334
THE TEACHER GOT UPSET
'CAUSE NO ONE WAS
PAYING ATTENTION.

84
00:04:26,434 --> 00:04:29,503
THAT WAS
MY FAULT TOO.

85
00:04:29,603 --> 00:04:33,407
LISTEN, SOMEBODY DID
SOMETHING AWFUL TO YOU.

86
00:04:33,507 --> 00:04:36,276
THAT IS NOT
YOUR FAULT, OKAY?

87
00:04:37,945 --> 00:04:41,014
I ASKED MY TEACHER
IF I COULD GO TO
THE BATHROOM.

88
00:04:41,114 --> 00:04:44,985
BUT I WENT
TO THE LOBBY INSTEAD.

89
00:04:45,085 --> 00:04:48,288
WHILE THE GUARD WAS
TALKING TO SOMEONE ELSE,
I SNUCK OUT.

90
00:04:48,389 --> 00:04:51,692
WELL, YOU WEREN'T
KIDDING.

91
00:04:54,428 --> 00:04:57,898
YOU HAD
A HELL OF A DAY.

92
00:04:57,998 --> 00:05:01,969
BUT I'M GLAD YOU
CAME HERE SO THAT WE
CAN TALK ABOUT IT.

93
00:05:02,069 --> 00:05:04,405
MY DAD'S
GONNA BE SO MAD.

94
00:05:04,505 --> 00:05:06,407
AND HE'S ALREADY
REALLY MAD.

95
00:05:06,507 --> 00:05:08,876
- WHAT'S HE MAD ABOUT?
- EVERYTHING.

96
00:05:08,976 --> 00:05:11,779
I'VE BEEN STAYING
WITH HIM FOR TWO WEEKS
SINCE MOM WENT AWAY.

97
00:05:11,879 --> 00:05:14,582
AND HE YELLS
AT ME ALL THE TIME,
NO MATTER WHAT I DO.

98
00:05:14,682 --> 00:05:16,283
SO WHAT DO YOU DO
WHEN HE YELLS AT YOU?

99
00:05:16,384 --> 00:05:17,785
LET HIM YELL.

100
00:05:17,885 --> 00:05:21,489
DO YOU EVER DISCUSS
THE THINGS YOU FIGHT ABOUT?

101
00:05:21,589 --> 00:05:24,257
HE DOESN'T TALK TO ME
UNLESS HE'S YELLING.

102
00:05:24,358 --> 00:05:27,027
I THINK HE BROKE UP
WITH NINA.

103
00:05:27,127 --> 00:05:28,562
DID HE TELL YOU THAT?

104
00:05:28,662 --> 00:05:31,164
NO, BUT SHE DOESN'T
COME OVER ANYMORE.

105
00:05:31,264 --> 00:05:32,966
THAT'S MY FAULT TOO.

106
00:05:33,066 --> 00:05:35,669
THAT CAN'T BE YOUR FAULT.

107
00:05:35,769 --> 00:05:39,573
NINA TOLD MY DAD TO MAKE
BETTER RULES FOR ME.

108
00:05:39,673 --> 00:05:42,242
AND THEN THEY HAD
THIS BIG FIGHT.

109
00:05:42,342 --> 00:05:44,645
NOW SHE DOESN'T
COME OVER.

110
00:05:44,745 --> 00:05:46,714
AND WHEN I SEE HER AT SCHOOL
SHE DOESN'T SMILE AT ME.

111
00:05:46,814 --> 00:05:49,216
- DO YOU MISS HER?
- NOT REALLY.

112
00:05:49,316 --> 00:05:51,719
BUT I THINK
MY DAD DOES.

113
00:05:54,922 --> 00:05:57,425
HE DID A REALLY BAD THING
THE DAY AFTER THE FIGHT.

114
00:05:57,525 --> 00:05:59,159
WHAT DID HE DO?

115
00:05:59,259 --> 00:06:01,929
I SHOULDN'T TELL YOU.

116
00:06:02,029 --> 00:06:05,433
OKAY.
IT'S UP TO YOU.

117
00:06:07,300 --> 00:06:09,302
HE BOUGHT
A SIX-PACK OF BEER

118
00:06:09,403 --> 00:06:11,171
AND DRANK ALL OF IT

119
00:06:11,271 --> 00:06:13,040
AND HE FELL ASLEEP
ON THE COUCH.

120
00:06:13,140 --> 00:06:15,809
- AND WHAT HAPPENED?
- HE DIDN'T GET UP IN TIME
FOR WORK.

121
00:06:15,909 --> 00:06:17,611
HE YELLED AT ME
FOR THAT TOO.

122
00:06:17,711 --> 00:06:19,613
"WHY DIDN'T YOU
WAKE ME UP?"

123
00:06:19,713 --> 00:06:22,450
BUT I DIDN'T KNOW
I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO THAT.

124
00:06:22,550 --> 00:06:24,284
THERE WAS NO WAY
YOU COULD'VE KNOWN

125
00:06:24,384 --> 00:06:25,819
WHAT YOU WERE
SUPPOSED TO DO.

126
00:06:25,919 --> 00:06:27,755
MY MOM WAS SUPPOSED
TO BE BACK BY NOW.

127
00:06:27,855 --> 00:06:30,824
BUT SHE HAD TO STAY
ON HER VACATION
AN EXTRA WEEK.

128
00:06:30,924 --> 00:06:33,360
HAVE YOU TOLD HER ABOUT
THE FIGHTS YOU'VE BEEN
HAVING WITH YOUR DAD?

129
00:06:33,461 --> 00:06:36,196
NO, SHE'LL JUST
GET SAD.

130
00:06:36,296 --> 00:06:40,634
WELL, IF I WERE
IN YOUR SHOES,

131
00:06:40,734 --> 00:06:43,003
I'D BE REALLY UPSET
ABOUT ALL THAT.

132
00:06:43,103 --> 00:06:46,073
( door opens )

133
00:06:46,173 --> 00:06:49,209
YOU KNOW, OLIVER,
I KEEP THINKING YOU'VE SUNK
AS LOW AS YOU CAN GO,

134
00:06:49,309 --> 00:06:51,378
BUT IT TURNS OUT
THERE'S NO BOTTOM.

135
00:06:51,479 --> 00:06:53,547
LUKE, WHY DON'T WE
JUST SIT DOWN?

136
00:06:53,647 --> 00:06:55,449
WE CAN TALK ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENED TO OLIVER TODAY.

137
00:06:55,549 --> 00:06:58,886
I GET OUT OF MY MEETING--
I HAVE SEVEN MESSAGES
FROM YOUR SCHOOL.

138
00:06:58,986 --> 00:07:01,889
WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU
THINKING TO JUST DISAPPEAR
LIKE THAT?

139
00:07:01,989 --> 00:07:04,458
ERIC DUMPED DOG SHIT
ALL IN MY LOCKER.

140
00:07:04,558 --> 00:07:06,226
HE DID WHAT?

141
00:07:06,326 --> 00:07:08,161
APPARENTLY
DURING RECESS TODAY

142
00:07:08,261 --> 00:07:11,164
SOME KID VANDALIZED
OLIVER'S LOCKER.

143
00:07:11,264 --> 00:07:12,600
NOBODY SAW
WHO DID IT.

144
00:07:12,700 --> 00:07:14,602
BUT ALL THE KIDS KNEW
THAT IT HAD HAPPENED.

145
00:07:14,702 --> 00:07:16,637
I HATE THAT FUCKING PLACE
AND I'M NOT GOING BACK.

146
00:07:16,737 --> 00:07:19,740
- NOBODY TOLD ME THAT.
- WHY DIDN'T YOU ASK ME
BEFORE YOU STARTED YELLING?

147
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,509
BECAUSE YOU STILL SHOULDN'T
JUST RUN OFF FROM SCHOOL.

148
00:07:21,609 --> 00:07:24,612
IT'S DANGEROUS
AND YOU KNOW BETTER.

149
00:07:24,712 --> 00:07:26,780
OLIVER, I THINK
THAT WHAT YOUR DAD
IS TRYING TO SAY

150
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,651
IS THAT HE UNDERSTANDS
THAT YOU'VE HAD A BAD DAY.

151
00:07:30,751 --> 00:07:35,523
AND HE'S JUST CONCERNED
THAT YOU LEFT SCHOOL

152
00:07:35,623 --> 00:07:38,058
AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ANYBODY
WHERE YOU WERE GOING.

153
00:07:38,158 --> 00:07:41,228
I DON'T WANT TO TALK
ABOUT THIS ANYMORE.

154
00:07:41,328 --> 00:07:42,530
Paul:
I UNDERSTAND.

155
00:07:42,630 --> 00:07:45,465
OKAY, WHY DON'T YOU
JUST GO OUTSIDE

156
00:07:45,566 --> 00:07:47,701
AND I'LL TALK
TO YOUR DAD, OKAY?

157
00:07:57,745 --> 00:07:59,680
( door closes )

158
00:08:09,723 --> 00:08:11,491
WHERE WERE YOU
LAST WEEK?

159
00:08:11,592 --> 00:08:14,862
I'M SORRY
I COULDN'T BE HERE.

160
00:08:14,962 --> 00:08:18,098
FIRST BESS VANISHES
ON THIS APPARENTLY
PERMANENT VACATION,

161
00:08:18,198 --> 00:08:19,633
AND THEN YOU GO AWOL.

162
00:08:19,733 --> 00:08:22,235
IT'S LIKE RATS DESERTING
A SINKING SHIP.

163
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:23,771
IT WAS
AN EMERGENCY, LUKE.

164
00:08:23,871 --> 00:08:26,540
YEAH, WELL,
IT'S AN EMERGENCY
OVER HERE TOO.

165
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,441
EVERY DAY HE COMES UP
WITH A NEW WAY

166
00:08:28,542 --> 00:08:31,478
TO DRIVE ME
UP THE FUCKING WALL.

167
00:08:31,579 --> 00:08:33,581
SO YOU'VE HAD A TOUGH
COUPLE OF WEEKS?

168
00:08:33,681 --> 00:08:35,549
BESS CALLS EVERY DAY.

169
00:08:35,649 --> 00:08:37,551
AND WE LIE AND TELL HER
EVERYTHING'S FINE.

170
00:08:37,651 --> 00:08:39,953
AND SHE SAYS SHE NEEDS
A LITTLE MORE TIME.

171
00:08:40,053 --> 00:08:43,156
THAT MUST BE
PRETTY STRESSFUL
ON YOU AND OLIVER.

172
00:08:43,256 --> 00:08:45,726
FIRST HE SUDDENLY DECIDES
HE WON'T DO HIS HOMEWORK.

173
00:08:45,826 --> 00:08:49,663
HE SAYS HE'S TAKING
A STAND ON PRINCIPLE--

174
00:08:49,763 --> 00:08:51,632
THE PRINCIPLE
THAT SCHOOL IS STUPID.

175
00:08:51,732 --> 00:08:53,567
HAVE YOU TALKED TO HIM
ABOUT IT

176
00:08:53,667 --> 00:08:56,637
OR WERE YOU HOPING
I WOULD SAY SOMETHING?

177
00:08:58,271 --> 00:09:01,441
I TOOK AWAY
HIS TV PRIVILEGES AND
HIS COMPUTER PRIVILEGES,

178
00:09:01,541 --> 00:09:04,011
BUT HE STILL WON'T DO
HIS HOMEWORK.

179
00:09:04,111 --> 00:09:06,346
HE JUST SITS THERE
AND STARES AT THE WALL.

180
00:09:06,446 --> 00:09:09,382
HE CERTAINLY KNOWS
HOW TO PUSH YOUR BUTTONS,
DOESN'T HE?

181
00:09:09,482 --> 00:09:11,484
NEXT HE DECIDES
TO STOP BATHING.

182
00:09:11,585 --> 00:09:13,687
WHAT THE HELL
AM I SUPPOSED TO DO,

183
00:09:13,787 --> 00:09:16,389
CLIMB INTO
THE SHOWER WITH HIM
AND SOAP HIM DOWN?

184
00:09:16,489 --> 00:09:18,826
I THINK OLIVER FEELS
POWERLESS,

185
00:09:18,926 --> 00:09:20,628
SO HE'S REFUSING
TO FOLLOW THE RULES

186
00:09:20,728 --> 00:09:22,630
BECAUSE THAT'S
THE ONLY WAY

187
00:09:22,730 --> 00:09:25,498
THAT HE CAN GET
SOME CONTROL.

188
00:09:25,599 --> 00:09:28,702
YESTERDAY, AFTER HE
LEFT FOR SCHOOL

189
00:09:28,802 --> 00:09:31,338
I WENT INTO HIS ROOM
AND LOOKED UNDER HIS BED,

190
00:09:31,438 --> 00:09:33,506
PAST THE MOUNTAIN
OF DIRTY CLOTHES.

191
00:09:33,607 --> 00:09:35,375
THERE WAS ALL THIS FOOD
HIDDEN IN THERE--

192
00:09:35,475 --> 00:09:37,745
HALF-EMPTY PACKAGES

193
00:09:37,845 --> 00:09:40,147
OF OREOS AND DORITOS
AND CHEETOS.

194
00:09:40,247 --> 00:09:41,882
I MEAN, THERE WAS--

195
00:09:41,982 --> 00:09:43,751
DID YOU TELL OLIVER
WHAT YOU'D FOUND?

196
00:09:43,851 --> 00:09:45,585
YEAH, AND HE GOT
FURIOUS,

197
00:09:45,686 --> 00:09:49,489
RAN INTO HIS ROOM
AND SLAMMED THE DOOR.

198
00:09:49,589 --> 00:09:54,094
I SHOULD'VE GONE IN
AND TALKED TO HIM,
BUT I WAS SO EXHAUSTED.

199
00:09:54,194 --> 00:09:56,296
I UNDERSTAND
THAT YOU'D BE ALARMED
BY ALL THIS.

200
00:09:56,396 --> 00:09:59,399
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'VE WORKED WITH
A LOT OF KIDS

201
00:09:59,499 --> 00:10:01,601
IN SITUATIONS
SIMILAR TO OLIVER'S

202
00:10:01,702 --> 00:10:06,473
AND OVEREATING IS
A PRETTY COMMON RESPONSE.

203
00:10:06,573 --> 00:10:10,811
YOU KNOW, THIS--

204
00:10:10,911 --> 00:10:15,215
THIS THING THAT HAPPENED
AT SCHOOL TODAY,

205
00:10:15,315 --> 00:10:19,152
IT ISN'T
THE FIRST TIME.

206
00:10:19,252 --> 00:10:21,454
OLIVER GETS
BULLIED A LOT.

207
00:10:21,554 --> 00:10:23,857
HAVE YOU DONE ANYTHING
ABOUT IT?

208
00:10:23,957 --> 00:10:26,093
NOW THAT THE SCHOOL
KNOWS THERE'S A PROBLEM,

209
00:10:26,193 --> 00:10:29,663
THEY'RE OBLIGATED
TO HELP YOU FIND
A SOLUTION.

210
00:10:29,763 --> 00:10:31,799
WELL, NOW,

211
00:10:31,899 --> 00:10:34,167
HOW ARE THEY
GOING TO STOP KIDS
FROM PICKING ON OLIVER?

212
00:10:34,267 --> 00:10:38,638
I MEAN, YOU SEE
WHY IT HAPPENS, RIGHT?

213
00:10:38,739 --> 00:10:40,640
I MEAN, HE'S FAT,
HE'S SHY,

214
00:10:40,741 --> 00:10:42,810
HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS
AND HE SMELLS BAD.

215
00:10:42,910 --> 00:10:46,680
IF I WERE HIS AGE,
I'D PROBABLY BULLY
HIM TOO.

216
00:10:49,482 --> 00:10:52,753
THE WAY HE'S BEEN
BEHAVING LATELY,

217
00:10:52,853 --> 00:10:55,088
I CAN SEE HOW THAT
WOULD MAKE YOU ANGRY.

218
00:10:55,188 --> 00:10:57,624
SOMETIMES I JUST WANT
TO SHAKE HIM AND SAY,

219
00:10:57,725 --> 00:11:01,161
"IF YOU KEEP ACTING
LIKE THIS, NO ONE'S EVER
GONNA BE YOUR FRIEND.

220
00:11:01,261 --> 00:11:03,864
IS THAT
WHAT YOU WANT?"

221
00:11:06,599 --> 00:11:08,501
THAT'S UNFORGIVEABLE,
ISN'T IT?

222
00:11:08,601 --> 00:11:11,071
I THINK YOU WANT
TO TRY AND SPARE OLIVER

223
00:11:11,171 --> 00:11:13,673
FROM THE PAIN THAT HE'S
GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW.

224
00:11:13,774 --> 00:11:15,642
BUT YOU LOVE HIM
SO MUCH

225
00:11:15,743 --> 00:11:18,545
AND THAT MAKES YOU
FRUSTRATED AND ANGRY.

226
00:11:18,645 --> 00:11:22,449
YEAH, BUT WHAT
GOOD IS LOVING HIM
IF I CAN'T HELP HIM?

227
00:11:22,549 --> 00:11:25,218
BUT ISN'T LOVING HIM
HELPING HIM?

228
00:11:27,788 --> 00:11:31,091
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT ANYTHING THIS WEEK.

229
00:11:33,593 --> 00:11:35,328
SO WHAT ELSE HAS BEEN
GOING ON, LUKE?

230
00:11:35,428 --> 00:11:38,298
LOOKS LIKE
I'M SINGLE AGAIN.

231
00:11:38,398 --> 00:11:40,968
NINA AND I HAD A HUGE
FIGHT ABOUT OLIVER.

232
00:11:41,068 --> 00:11:43,804
AND THE REASON
I ASKED HER OUT
IN THE FIRST PLACE

233
00:11:43,904 --> 00:11:45,806
IS BECAUSE
SHE LIKED HIM.

234
00:11:45,906 --> 00:11:47,741
I THOUGHT SHE'D BE
GOOD WITH HIM.

235
00:11:47,841 --> 00:11:51,211
BUT IT TURNED OUT
SHE JUST ISN'T ON MY SIDE.

236
00:11:51,311 --> 00:11:54,314
AND WHOSE SIDE
DO YOU THINK SHE'S ON?

237
00:11:54,414 --> 00:11:58,018
LAST WEEK OLIVER DROPPED
A CARTON OF ICE CREAM
ON THE CARPET.

238
00:11:58,118 --> 00:12:00,854
OF COURSE
I GOT PISSED OFF.

239
00:12:00,954 --> 00:12:02,823
THEN NINA CAME OVER

240
00:12:02,923 --> 00:12:05,458
AND FOR SOME STUPID REASON
I EXPECTED HER TO BACK ME.

241
00:12:05,558 --> 00:12:08,095
SO YOU WANTED HER
TO HELP YOU

242
00:12:08,195 --> 00:12:10,097
DISCIPLINE OLIVER.

243
00:12:10,197 --> 00:12:12,132
BUT INSTEAD SHE STARTED
SCREAMING AT ME.

244
00:12:12,232 --> 00:12:14,534
SHE SAID I WASN'T SPENDING
ENOUGH TIME WITH OLIVER,

245
00:12:14,634 --> 00:12:17,137
I WASN'T SETTING CLEAR
BOUNDARIES FOR HIM.

246
00:12:17,237 --> 00:12:19,106
AND HOW DID YOU
RESPOND TO THAT?

247
00:12:19,206 --> 00:12:21,574
I TOLD HER IF I WANTED
SOMEBODY YELLING AT ME
ALL THE TIME,

248
00:12:21,674 --> 00:12:24,211
I WOULD'VE STAYED
MARRIED TO BESS.

249
00:12:24,311 --> 00:12:28,248
( chuckles )
THAT WENT OVER
REAL WELL.

250
00:12:31,684 --> 00:12:34,621
YOU KNOW, AT FIRST
NINA WAS A LOT OF FUN.

251
00:12:34,721 --> 00:12:36,857
I COULD COME HOME
AT THE END OF THE DAY

252
00:12:36,957 --> 00:12:39,192
AND JUST RELAX
WITH HER.

253
00:12:39,292 --> 00:12:41,161
THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN

254
00:12:41,261 --> 00:12:43,797
SHE STARTED SCRUTINIZING
MY EVERY MOVE,

255
00:12:43,897 --> 00:12:45,365
MARSHALLING EVIDENCE
AGAINST ME.

256
00:12:45,465 --> 00:12:48,068
I DON'T KNOW, PAUL.

257
00:12:48,168 --> 00:12:50,103
WHY DO I KEEP CHOOSING
THESE CRAZY WOMEN?

258
00:12:50,203 --> 00:12:54,041
I'M NOT SO SURE, LUKE,
THAT IT'S THE WOMEN
WHO ARE CRAZY.

259
00:12:54,141 --> 00:12:56,076
I THINK
IT'S THE POSITION

260
00:12:56,176 --> 00:12:58,245
THAT YOU'RE
PUTTING THEM IN.

261
00:12:58,345 --> 00:13:00,981
SO YOU'RE SAYING
IT'S ALL MY FAULT?

262
00:13:01,081 --> 00:13:03,884
FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN,
YOU ENJOY HAVING FUN
WITH OLIVER.

263
00:13:03,984 --> 00:13:05,853
BUT WHEN IT COMES
TO MAKING THE RULES,

264
00:13:05,953 --> 00:13:07,855
CREATING A STRUCTURE
FOR HIM,

265
00:13:07,955 --> 00:13:10,323
FOR A LONG TIME
YOU LET BESS DO THAT JOB.

266
00:13:10,423 --> 00:13:13,793
AND THEN YOU HOPED
THAT NINA WOULD TAKE
HER PLACE.

267
00:13:13,894 --> 00:13:16,763
SO WHEN HE MISBEHAVES,

268
00:13:16,864 --> 00:13:19,432
YOU BLAME THEM.

269
00:13:19,532 --> 00:13:24,037
YOU REFUSE TO TAKE
RESPONSIBILITY FOR
OLIVER YOURSELF.

270
00:13:24,137 --> 00:13:28,675
SO CAN YOU SEE HOW THAT
MIGHT UPSET EVERYBODY?

271
00:13:28,775 --> 00:13:31,178
BOY, NOW I COULD
REALLY USE A DRINK.

272
00:13:31,278 --> 00:13:33,746
HAVE YOU BEEN
DRINKING LATELY?

273
00:13:33,847 --> 00:13:36,749
WHAT DID OLIVER
TELL YOU?

274
00:13:36,850 --> 00:13:38,618
WHY WOULD YOU
ASK ME THAT?

275
00:13:38,718 --> 00:13:40,220
BECAUSE THE NIGHT
I BROKE UP WITH NINA

276
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,289
I WENT OUT
AND GOT A SIX-PACK,

277
00:13:42,389 --> 00:13:45,258
DRANK THE WHOLE THING
RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE KID.

278
00:13:45,358 --> 00:13:48,661
I THOUGHT,
"LET HIM TELL NINA,

279
00:13:48,761 --> 00:13:50,630
OR BESS, OR YOU."

280
00:13:50,730 --> 00:13:51,999
WHY NOT?

281
00:13:52,099 --> 00:13:54,902
SO YOU WANTED OLIVER
TO TELL US?

282
00:13:55,002 --> 00:13:56,336
I DON'T CARE.

283
00:13:56,436 --> 00:13:58,138
I NEVER REALLY HAD
A DRINKING PROBLEM.

284
00:13:58,238 --> 00:14:00,974
THAT WAS
BESS BEING PARANOID.
BUT THE OTHER NIGHT

285
00:14:01,074 --> 00:14:03,176
I'D JUST BROKEN UP
WITH MY GIRLFRIEND,

286
00:14:03,276 --> 00:14:05,745
MY KID WAS ACTING UP,
MY EX-WIFE SKIPPED TOWN,

287
00:14:05,845 --> 00:14:07,981
YOU'D SKIPPED TOWN.

288
00:14:08,081 --> 00:14:10,050
SHIT, WHO WOULDN'T NEED
A DRINK AFTER ALL THAT, RIGHT?

289
00:14:10,150 --> 00:14:14,021
ARE YOU SAYING
YOU NEEDED A DRINK?

290
00:14:17,690 --> 00:14:20,227
YOU KNOW, THE WEEK BEFORE
BESS WENT ON VACATION,

291
00:14:20,327 --> 00:14:22,829
OLIVER WAS ON HIS
BEST BEHAVIOR.

292
00:14:22,930 --> 00:14:25,598
THE SECOND
SHE LEFT TOWN,

293
00:14:25,698 --> 00:14:29,269
HE'S TURNED INTO
THIS MONSTER.

294
00:14:29,369 --> 00:14:32,039
IS HE TRYING TO GET
SOME KIND OF REACTION
OUT OF ME?

295
00:14:32,139 --> 00:14:33,907
I THINK
THAT'S PART OF IT.

296
00:14:34,007 --> 00:14:36,476
BUT I ALSO THINK THAT HE
WAS BEHAVING SO WELL

297
00:14:36,576 --> 00:14:39,146
BECAUSE HE WAS TRYING
TO GET SOME KIND OF
REACTION FROM YOU.

298
00:14:39,246 --> 00:14:41,348
THAT DOESN'T MAKE
ANY SENSE.

299
00:14:41,448 --> 00:14:43,116
WELL, LOOK AT IT FROM
OLIVER'S POINT OF VIEW.

300
00:14:43,216 --> 00:14:45,986
HIS FAMILY
IS BREAKING APART,

301
00:14:46,086 --> 00:14:48,188
SO HE PUTS A LOT
OF PRESSURE ON HIMSELF,

302
00:14:48,288 --> 00:14:50,323
TRYING TO BEHAVE
PERFECTLY,

303
00:14:50,423 --> 00:14:53,193
HOPING THAT THAT WOULD
SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

304
00:14:53,293 --> 00:14:55,295
SO YOU'RE SAYING
HE WAS FAKING IT.

305
00:14:55,395 --> 00:14:57,230
IN A WAY, YEAH.

306
00:14:57,330 --> 00:14:58,932
I MEAN, HE EVEN TRIED
TO STOP EATING

307
00:14:59,032 --> 00:15:01,668
SO THAT YOU WOULDN'T BE
CONCERNED ABOUT HIS WEIGHT.

308
00:15:01,768 --> 00:15:03,570
HE TOLD YOU THAT?

309
00:15:03,670 --> 00:15:05,838
BUT IT DIDN'T WORK.

310
00:15:05,939 --> 00:15:08,675
HE DID EVERYTHING RIGHT,
BUT IT DIDN'T SOLVE ANY
OF THE PROBLEMS.

311
00:15:08,775 --> 00:15:11,811
SO NOW MAYBE
HE'S BEHAVING BADLY

312
00:15:11,911 --> 00:15:14,881
TO TRY AND MAKE YOU FEEL
AS BADLY AS HE FEELS.

313
00:15:14,982 --> 00:15:17,284
I TELL YOU, I LIKED HIM
A HELL OF A LOT BETTER

314
00:15:17,384 --> 00:15:19,586
WHEN HE WAS PRETENDING
TO BE HAPPY.

315
00:15:19,686 --> 00:15:21,989
WELL, OLIVER COULDN'T
KEEP UP THAT BEHAVIOR
FOREVER.

316
00:15:22,089 --> 00:15:23,923
HE HAD ME FOOLED.

317
00:15:24,024 --> 00:15:26,459
BESS AND I TALKED TO HIM
ABOUT THE ADOPTION,

318
00:15:26,559 --> 00:15:28,728
AND THAT SEEMED
TO MAKE HIM FEEL BETTER.

319
00:15:28,828 --> 00:15:31,198
I HONESTLY BELIEVED
HE WAS DOING WELL.

320
00:15:31,298 --> 00:15:34,134
WHICH IS WHAT I THINK
HE WANTED YOU TO BELIEVE.

321
00:15:34,234 --> 00:15:36,970
I'VE TALKED TO HIM
ABOUT THE ADOPTION TOO.

322
00:15:37,070 --> 00:15:40,307
AND THE WAY
HE SEES IT,

323
00:15:40,407 --> 00:15:43,643
BESS AND YOU WERE
FIGHTING TOO MUCH

324
00:15:43,743 --> 00:15:46,546
AND YOU GAVE
HIS BROTHER AWAY.

325
00:15:46,646 --> 00:15:48,781
AND THINGS
ARE SO DIFFICULT
FOR HIM RIGHT NOW

326
00:15:48,881 --> 00:15:51,218
THAT I THINK
SOMETIMES HE WISHES

327
00:15:51,318 --> 00:15:54,254
YOU'D GIVE
HIM AWAY TOO.

328
00:15:57,157 --> 00:16:00,160
DOES HE EVEN
LOVE ME?

329
00:16:00,260 --> 00:16:03,696
WHY WOULD YOU
SAY THAT?

330
00:16:03,796 --> 00:16:05,898
I DIDN'T LOVE MY DAD.

331
00:16:05,999 --> 00:16:08,401
NOT EVEN WHEN YOU WERE
OLIVER'S AGE?

332
00:16:08,501 --> 00:16:10,503
OKAY.

333
00:16:10,603 --> 00:16:12,405
SURE.

334
00:16:12,505 --> 00:16:15,342
I DID LOVE HIM BACK THEN,
BUT IT WAS UNREQUITED LOVE.

335
00:16:15,442 --> 00:16:18,211
YOU'LL HAVE TO EXPLAIN
THAT TO ME, LUKE.

336
00:16:18,311 --> 00:16:20,447
MY FATHER WAS
THE DEAN OF STUDENTS

337
00:16:20,547 --> 00:16:22,549
AND BASKETBALL COACH
AT MY MIDDLE SCHOOL.

338
00:16:22,649 --> 00:16:26,086
HE WAS IN CHARGE
OF EVERY BREATH
MY BROTHER AND I TOOK.

339
00:16:26,186 --> 00:16:28,355
WHEN WE DID WELL,

340
00:16:28,455 --> 00:16:31,124
THAT'S JUST
WHAT HE EXPECTED OF US.

341
00:16:31,224 --> 00:16:35,128
AND WHEN WE SCREWED UP,

342
00:16:35,228 --> 00:16:36,996
WELL, LET'S JUST SAY

343
00:16:37,097 --> 00:16:39,332
HE WAS A MAN
OF LIMITED SYMPATHY.

344
00:16:39,432 --> 00:16:41,668
THAT'S QUITE A LOT
TO LIVE UP TO.

345
00:16:41,768 --> 00:16:45,038
YOU'D THINK THAT.

346
00:16:45,138 --> 00:16:47,340
THE YEAR I WAS
IN THE SEVENTH GRADE,
HE STARTED TAKING

347
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,243
LONG DRIVES ON THE WEEKENDS
BY HIMSELF.

348
00:16:50,343 --> 00:16:52,645
MY BROTHER AND I
GOT ON OUR BIKES

349
00:16:52,745 --> 00:16:56,216
AND WE RODE
AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD
LOOKING FOR HIS CAR.

350
00:16:56,316 --> 00:17:01,188
AND WE FOUND IT
IN THE DRIVEWAY
OF THIS LITTLE HOUSE.

351
00:17:01,288 --> 00:17:03,590
MY BROTHER MADE ME
RING THE BUZZER.

352
00:17:03,690 --> 00:17:08,695
THE DOOR OPENED,
AND THERE WAS MY FATHER'S
SECRETARY--

353
00:17:08,795 --> 00:17:11,464
THIS NICE LADY
WHO'D GIVE US CANDY.

354
00:17:11,564 --> 00:17:14,801
THEN MY DAD CAME OUT
OF HER BATHROOM

355
00:17:14,901 --> 00:17:17,270
AND STARTED
SCREAMING AT US.

356
00:17:17,370 --> 00:17:19,906
- WHAT DID YOU GUYS DO?
- WHAT COULD WE DO?

357
00:17:20,006 --> 00:17:22,942
WE GOT ON OUR BIKES
AND WE RODE HOME.

358
00:17:23,042 --> 00:17:27,580
AND THEN I WAS LYING AWAKE
THAT NIGHT IN THE BED

359
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,183
AND I REALIZED MY FATHER'S
SECRETARY'S LIVING ROOM

360
00:17:30,283 --> 00:17:32,485
LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE
OUR LIVING ROOM.

361
00:17:35,488 --> 00:17:38,558
EVERY PIECE OF FURNITURE
WAS EXACTLY THE SAME AS OURS.

362
00:17:40,927 --> 00:17:43,096
HE MUST'VE BOUGHT
IT ALL FOR HER.

363
00:17:44,797 --> 00:17:49,336
MY BROTHER TOLD MY MOTHER
AND SHIT HIT THE FAN.

364
00:17:49,436 --> 00:17:52,239
SHE PACKED US UP
AND WE LEFT TOWN.

365
00:17:52,339 --> 00:17:53,906
WE ONLY EVER HEARD
FROM HIM

366
00:17:54,006 --> 00:17:56,276
WHEN WE SENT HIS CHECK
EVERY MONTH.

367
00:17:56,376 --> 00:17:58,111
HE WAS GOOD
ABOUT THE MONEY,

368
00:17:58,211 --> 00:18:01,381
I'LL GIVE HIM THAT.

369
00:18:01,481 --> 00:18:05,685
BUT WE DIDN'T WANT
TO SEE HIM.

370
00:18:05,785 --> 00:18:08,621
I MEAN, HE SURE DIDN'T WANT
TO SEE US.

371
00:18:10,823 --> 00:18:13,460
HE NEVER MET BESS
OR OLIVER.

372
00:18:15,295 --> 00:18:18,898
AND WHEN HE DIED
IT WAS LIKE A FORMALITY.

373
00:18:18,998 --> 00:18:22,235
BUT LATELY...

374
00:18:26,239 --> 00:18:29,142
IT'S LIKE
HE'S LAUGHING AT ME.

375
00:18:31,077 --> 00:18:33,513
I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT.

376
00:18:33,613 --> 00:18:36,015
I PROPOSED TO BESS
WHEN I GOT HER PREGNANT.

377
00:18:36,115 --> 00:18:38,518
I WORKED LIKE A DOG
TO MAKE A GOOD HOME.

378
00:18:38,618 --> 00:18:41,854
I NEVER RAISED A HAND
TO OLIVER.

379
00:18:44,157 --> 00:18:46,893
AND NOW I FEEL
LIKE I'M STANDING RIGHT
WHERE MY FATHER STOOD.

380
00:18:49,262 --> 00:18:51,731
JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE
GETTING A DIVORCE,

381
00:18:51,831 --> 00:18:55,335
THAT DOESN'T MEAN
YOU'RE TURNING INTO
YOUR FATHER.

382
00:18:55,435 --> 00:18:58,638
AND IT DOESN'T MEAN
THAT YOU'RE GOING TO
LOSE YOUR SON.

383
00:19:04,611 --> 00:19:07,180
BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT
IT FEELS LIKE I'M DOING.

384
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,382
IT'S INEVITABLE
THAT SOMETIMES

385
00:19:09,482 --> 00:19:11,318
YOU'LL REMIND YOURSELF
OF YOUR FATHER.

386
00:19:11,418 --> 00:19:14,887
YOU SEE HOW YOU WOUND
YOUR OWN CHILDREN

387
00:19:14,987 --> 00:19:18,625
SO BADLY
WITHOUT EVEN TRYING.

388
00:19:19,926 --> 00:19:22,195
SUDDENLY YOU ALMOST
UNDERSTAND

389
00:19:22,295 --> 00:19:26,165
HOW HE COULD HURT YOU
THE WAY HE DID.

390
00:19:28,568 --> 00:19:31,638
BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO
BECOME LIKE HIM.

391
00:19:31,738 --> 00:19:34,073
YOU'RE NOT DOOMED TO LIVE
YOUR FATHER'S LIFE.

392
00:19:34,173 --> 00:19:36,376
YOU HAVE A CHOICE.

393
00:19:51,090 --> 00:19:53,760
I THINK OUR SESSION
IS ALMOST OVER.

394
00:19:53,860 --> 00:19:56,929
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY
ANYTHING TO OLIVER
BEFORE YOU GO?

395
00:19:57,029 --> 00:19:59,966
YEAH, IF WE STILL
HAVE TIME.

396
00:20:00,066 --> 00:20:02,669
OKAY.

397
00:20:06,639 --> 00:20:09,809
OLIVER, DO YOU WANT
TO COME IN FOR A MINUTE?

398
00:20:15,815 --> 00:20:18,585
I'M SORRY YOU HAD
A BAD DAY AT SCHOOL.

399
00:20:18,685 --> 00:20:21,421
IT'S OKAY.

400
00:20:21,521 --> 00:20:24,691
WHAT DO YOU SAY
WE GO GET SOME PIZZA?

401
00:20:24,791 --> 00:20:27,894
MAYBE CHECK OUT A MOVIE
IF THERE'S SOMETHING
GOOD PLAYING?

402
00:20:27,994 --> 00:20:30,397
ON A SCHOOL NIGHT?

403
00:20:31,498 --> 00:20:33,833
YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH
ALREADY TODAY.

404
00:20:33,933 --> 00:20:36,503
YOU DESERVE A BREAK.

405
00:20:43,543 --> 00:20:46,413
SEE YOU BOTH
NEXT WEEK.

406
00:20:58,525 --> 00:21:00,893
( theme music playing )
