Mr. Planky, your mother's ready.

What did he say, Mom?

What did he need to say?

He gave me a look.

I saw him look into my eyes, and I could see him looking inside of me, a

spiritual vampire.

When did he get your biopsy back?

It's cancer, Joshua.

What kind?

A bad kind.

You know.

You know when something's inside of you.

When your father was sick, God bless, I knew.

Your brother, when he was inside of you, we didn't have fancy scans then to tell

us what we knew.

Don't okay ma me.

Remember your father's suffering.

I gave up milk for 20 years.

Fucking soy milk.

For what?

You're going to have to take care of your brother.

You sound like you want this.

Look at me.

You're going to be good.

You're going to be good.

I love you.

No, no, no,

no, no.

you

Well, well.

Hey, last chance with Trivial Pursuits.

You can

sit

also.

Is that what you want?

I guess fitting's not very sexy, is it?

Not if you don't think it is.

What?

Don't do this.

Get out of here, man.

Where's Julia?

Yeah, thanks for nothing, John.

I didn't plan for that to happen.

You just... If you didn't want to try this, then you didn't have to say yes.

Yes, I did.

You're supposed to cry for me.

I want to thank you all for a great year.

I want you to visit, but not too often.

And remember, people, there is more to college life than beer bongs.

Enjoy the rest of your lives.

I think that's why you need to be in jail. That's a fact. Nice.

Hey, Catherine.

Hey.

Hi, Josh.

Hey.

Joshua and I were just talking. We were wondering what you're doing this summer.

Oh, I'm, um, keeping at a camp for kids with disabilities.

Ah, heart of gold, huh?

You know, Joshua's got a retard brother, right? What?

It's the Polack side of the family.

It's a joke. It's a joke. It's a joke.

Sex ed.

Is that a joke?

Mm -mm.

They call it health class now.

Mr. Clancy.

Hey. Hey.

Thought I'd miss you. Nope.

Over the moon, right?

I'm sticking around for a bit, actually.

You're lucky.

I'm taking some time off.

That's surprising.

I don't know what I want to do.

But you wanted to be a writer, little Catherine.

Yes.

The miters go to college.

You didn't buy a yearbook?

I thought we were your favorite class.

You were.

I hate your salary.

I'll be around.

I thought you were going to drive away.

No.

No tips to start your summer.

Oh, no.

It's going to be Flo.

Don't plan like you're... I'm sorry about before.

Oh, yeah, me too.

But, you know, that's just... Yeah.

He has a crush on me, right?

Yeah.

Well,

you know, I told him that it was a bad idea.

But you're on your own.

Right. Well, um... Hey, you know, um...

If your lazy summer ever, ever gets warm, you can always do happy hour. I

my summer job.

It wears.

Mary.

Yeah, I know.

Oh.

No, you're right. I should go. I'm sorry.

Have a good summer job.

Okay.

Gordon?

Who's the point of a closer if you're not on the close?

Let's go, Miss.

So, I hope you September.

How about you?

We don't have any fancy chairs.

We don't have any fancy chairs.

Lawyer?

I'm sorry?

Are you one?

Insurance. What do you do?

I handcraft ceramic dicks.

Is that appropriately funny?

That was a trick question. You don't have to answer it.

You're acting like you feel like you're in the way. Yeah, maybe.

But I don't think you do.

Where you make your, uh, art?

Yeah, Brad, in the back of the van.

That's where I make my art.

Sorry, I just... Very, uh... Very different from the women that I, uh... I

mean... I don't... I think that maybe you should go.

I don't like these things either. Come on. Pete, help me out.

You know what? Pete's fine. He looks fine.

Hey, hey.

Hey, hey, hey.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Good night.

Oh, I'll leave out your mom's clothes for a bit.

Maybe we don't have to give them away just yet.

Oh, yeah, okay.

Yeah.

Let's do all the work.

It's a lot of space.

It's all ours now.

That's just me and the feet now.

You and me, Joshua.

We could be a family.

We are.

We did so good today.

Yeah. We did so good today.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm sorry I didn't go to the funeral.

Oh, that's... I'm sorry. Josh.

How is he?

Um, he's managing.

Good.

Time off.

No more flower vases, huh?

Cool.

Thanks.

Yeah, I just thought that the normative figure of power doesn't need to be

inherently male.

So these aren't just a symbol of male potency, but a reminder of female

potential.

How much?

Oh, you can have that.

No, how much?

You couldn't.

Ten bucks?

Twenty. I don't want it if it's free.

I'm gonna go lay down. The doctor said you should be more careful with the

concussion than the fracture.

You know yet?

Um, no.

Josh?

Dinner.

Do you know anything?

find a new place for it.

make this dinner.

He likes food from the microwave.

How'd it go at the house?

We should hire someone to fix it up a little.

Yeah, it's Ali.

Hey.

Nice to meet you.

Is everything okay?

Oh, yes.

I'm sorry.

Come on in.

Okay.

It's a nice house.

Thanks.

You make enough money at the flea market to buy this house?

I've seen you.

It's an inheritance.

Ah.

So you pay cash?

I do it cheap, but very good.

Okay.

Okay.

Cigarette?

I won second place in a beauty contest.

I don't think it works.

Good.

You know, maybe this weekend we can find a new place for Pete.

Let's just get used to it here, you know?

Right. My turn.

My turn.

That's weird. I can give you money again.

Hey, buddy.

Talks about the leg.

Yep. And your mom.

Thanks.

Rain's a pour, so... Yep.

It sure does.

Just remember, when there's only one set of footprints in the sand, that's

God carrying you.

Oh, my crippled leg.

No. No, no.

No, no, no. Do not dismiss that. That is deep.

Does he need to be fed?

He's not a dog, Bart.

Hey, what about Catherine?

Did you ever end up calling her?

She's always busy with that damn cat.

You know, it's over there on Round Hill Road.

Stalking her?

I died.

You have to take care of him, you know?

The last few weeks have been hard, slow, you know?

I'd have a son.

Then I think, how much better is it going to be with a nurse?

Thank you, Pete.

I'm... I'm bored.

I think he is, too. But then I think, you know, when I go back to work, won't

it... be even harder, even with a nurse. Well, probably.

There's only so much you can do.

How do you do it?

I mean, every day.

I get to leave at the end of the day, at the end of the summer, but what matters

is support structures like this.

Josh, it can't be everything to everyone.

Or... All things genuine.

You know what's really boring?

This.

Hey Pete, did you get them all?

Uh,

I'm leaving though.

I like your eye.

You know, it's very good.

Nice.

That's it.

Okay, good.

Come here, buddy.

Make him think.

Oh, Josh.

Throw it to me. Josh, throw it to me.

I

can't

tell if you're a great wingman or a better cock blocker.

I'm married.

Bye, Mark.

Hey!

You guys have an adventure?

Just the store.

Good. I think.

I can have a cigarette.

Yeah. Sorry.

I will.

I did it.

I fell in the shower today.

It's not funny.

You're okay.

I couldn't get hurt.

I'm sorry.

No, don't be silly.

Come back here.

Let's just try tomorrow, okay?

You gonna go back?

Maybe.

You love her?

Oh, very much.

But it's difficult.

People change.

I slept with her friend.

Oh.

Okay.

She'll feel bad.

But you don't.

No.

Maybe it was a cry for help.

A way of getting out.

Maybe.

Where are you going to stay?

Oh, no, it just smells a little funny in here. I'm sorry.

No, it's okay.

Thank you.

I'm set.

I think it was a great ride.

Bye, guys.

See you tomorrow.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm just passing through. Yeah.

Sweet, thank you. Yeah.

So, you busy?

Yeah. Yeah? Yeah, well, long day.

I'm just going to stay at your mom's tonight. It's really wet out there.

It's really wet in there.

Huh?

It's real fast.

Oh, yeah.

Okay.

I love you.

I love you.

You don't look familiar.

Let me talk to you alone.

Oh, right.

Hey, Pete, can you give us a minute?

Buddy,

take the cornflakes in front of the TV, okay?

Can we go to our room?

What is it? The house?

Sort of.

What's wrong with the house? The house is the smaller thing here, I think.

what's the bigger thing?

And go to our room.

Please. You know what? I don't want to.

I guess I'll just sleep with someone who will be square.

I need to be alone

for a little while. You don't.

Not this again.

It's different.

It's done.

It's not what I want.

want Josh

Like old times, right?

We don't... Pete, I

know you're angry too.

You're gonna be okay.

Yeah.

Everybody.

All right. Get it back to me at three.

Oh, pioneers.

Anyone?

Anyone do their summer reading?

No.

Everybody's doing it.

Peer pressure?

Yeah, you know. We are planning to spend the rest of our lives in high school.

At least power hour passes of some form.

He comes up high. He comes up high.

Swing now. Swing. Swing.

And swing at him.

Swing at him.

Swing at him.

Swing at him.

He's trying to pep you up.

Why are you being like that?

Why are you acting like that?

Where'd it go?

I can't believe it.

Good stuff, Josh.

You're precious.

Oh, Christ.

I'm gonna go.

Is that why your wife left you, you pussy?

Is it the drunk dial?

You know what? It doesn't matter. What can I do for you?

Hi. Hi.

So, where are we going?

I have no idea.

I thought maybe we could drive around.

You don't want people to see us.

No.

Well, you should park in front of the house with your headlights off. That's

it.

Well... We should probably go somewhere because at some point tonight I'm going

to have to... It's charming.

It's got character.

What happened?

You really want to know?

Sure.

We started dating really young.

I loved baseball.

She was crafty.

I liked that about her.

I thought I knew who she was at some point. I didn't.

My last boyfriend dumped me for not blowing him.

Oh. It's not like that. He'd smell funny down there. I totally would.

I wasn't, um... It was Dave Taffy.

That guy?

I know.

He had a bit of a muscle to him.

Yeah, he was still pissed when we broke up.

Somehow you always are.

So... Your mom raised you here?

Yeah, with my little brother. Oh, that's nice. Yeah, we don't talk much.

So now what?

Grapple?

Great.

That was...

Really different things.

They were supposed to be different.

Oh, no, in a good way.

You

smoke?

Yeah. Is that okay?

Okay, then.

Wait.

Any questions?

Yes, Salam. So who punched you in the face?

Hey.

I just wanted to make sure you were okay.

I was asking for it.

The biggest one you could find?

Yeah.

Any bigger might scare the kids.

I thought you were going to say something like, I could show you

bigger.

If I'd said that, you wouldn't have thought it was funny.

Well, that's probably true.

So I didn't.

Ken show you something.

I'm just saying. Uh -huh.

Here, Ken.

Here?

Dear Daniel, thanks for making teaching fun.

I'll miss you next year.

Cheers, Mr. P.

Very eloquent.

You got everybody.

I did.

Even the ESL kids.

That's funny.

Why?

I just didn't think this stuff mattered to them.

These people?

No.

Well, I grew up with them my whole life.

Yeah, but you couldn't have liked all of them. No.

But everybody was just trying to do the best they could.

Yeah.

You okay?

Yeah, it's just... You kiss funny.

What? I mean, your mouth is kind of big.

Maybe we should just watch the movie then. I just... I can't believe you like

me. Well, I do.

But I like you too.

Maybe we shouldn't be doing this.

Hey, I'm an adult now, Josh.

Okay.

It's still funny when you say my name.

Do you want me to call you Mr. Polanski still? Like,

when we're having sex?

We're not having sex.

We're going to, aren't we?

At some point.

Tonight.

I don't think it's fast.

Well, it's where we're going, Mr. Polanski. Danielle, I don't want you to

the wrong idea about this.

About us having sex? About what this means.

What does this mean?

So, when grown -ups like you have sex, it doesn't mean anything. But when kids

like me do, it does.

They're just different associations.

Oh, okay. So when you have sex with people, you don't care about them. No, I

I care.

I care about you.

And I don't want you to get hurt by the wrong idea.

I miss you.

Let me go next, yeah?

One more go.

A little more time.

I want you to take me out.

Woo -hoo!

Woo -hoo!

Thank you. But wait.

It is mine.

Thank you.

And watch.

Watch and learn?

Yeah, watch and learn.

Swing all the way through. Okay.

That's too low. That's not your fault.

Yeah! Woo!

That breeze feels good.

So it's the one.

That was really good.

Thank you.

So, are you going to be thinking about this when you go to school tomorrow?

When you teach third period?

Third period.

Thank you.

You're going to be thinking about other girls.

Don't be silly.

What are you going to do?

I'm going to go home and write about it in my journal.

Really? No.

Well, what do you do with your day?

Oh, when I'm not journaling or thinking of you. Yeah.

Go to the gym, try and write. I watch old reruns of GH.

Mostly I and my friends.

Have you told anyone?

You ever wish you went to college?

Deferred enrollment.

Not like I went to Iraq or anything.

Still?

Then this wouldn't have happened.

And sure, I could have found a professor who likes girls with daddy issues, but

I like you.

Thank you.

Besides,

it's good material for my first novel.

Nice. Or a sex advice column.

Maybe you should take some classes.

Maybe you could teach me.

I'm serious.

Why did you start teaching?

Because I love baseball.

And while I wasn't a good enough player to be a pro player, or even a college

player, really, but, you know, I knew I wanted to do something that I loved.

So you loved books?

I liked books.

What I loved was playing.

You know, high school and college.

Friends got married, moved away.

I mean, I knew I had to get old.

Sure, maybe.

You know, I signed up for an adult education course.

You did?

Photography. Uh, yeah.

You know, what are you doing here?

I teach a class.

That's great work, if you can get it.

Yeah, I like it. Are you... Me? Waiting. Can

we

talk? Yeah.

Definitely.

We're doing photojournalism to start.

So I was thinking I would go into the city and take pictures of homeless

Why?

Because I think people need to see their sadness.

You know, like, their need. Like, take sad pictures of them sleeping.

Sounds exploitative.

What?

What?

Sounds like you're taking advantage.

No, I know what exploited it means.

Are you mad at me?

You're silly.

Dogging for players.

Yeah, I've been cleaning.

These past few months have been very hard without you and

I know that I hurt you very much.

And I need to figure out a way to be better for myself.

No.

It's not. That cannot be my best.

And you should too.

Make better choices.

Where'd she go?

Why do you always think there's something wrong?

Maybe there is.

Maybe.

That's up to him.

What? Maybe. What do you want me to say? How about you tell me what's wrong?

Danielle, I think you're getting too attached.

I can't handle your attachments.

Okay, great. Well, I'll just unstick myself. I'm not even divorced yet.

I've been completely honest with you. Yeah, about not sleeping with me because

you cared.

Or was it because you felt guilty about fucking a kid? You know what? You can't

all of a sudden be a kid. That's not fair.

Life's not fair. What do you want? It's not my fault. What the fuck, man?

Hey, man, I'm sorry. I didn't even see you. It's the fucking stop sign right

there. It's my fault, man. I wasn't looking. The fuck is your problem? Hey,

I said I'm sorry. What the fuck?

I'm really sorry.

You're supposed to be an adult.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Everybody tell me who Dante meets in the eighth circle of hell.

Mr. Polanski, sorry.

There were no improprieties.

I understand how you must feel.

You've had a rough year.

But we owe it to the parents of our school district to conduct an internal

investigation.

Until then, you will be placed on paid administrative...

We'll be working from the superintendent's offices starting in a

Is Danielle in?

I'm afraid she's in the farm.

Does that fit?

Danielle, I don't think that what we were doing was

going to go anywhere.

Suck. You deserve better than that.

But I don't want you to think that it always sucks.

Look, I knew what I was doing. Sometimes it doesn't suck. Sometimes it does

suck. But you deserve it. Josh, shut up.

You know, my dad lived two miles away from here. You know how many times I saw

him last year?

Twice. You can do that.

When I told him I got into Oberlin, he didn't say a thing.

It's just how it is.

So, I told him I wasn't going to go.

I wanted to set the terms for leaving.

But I've left it.

Because if I'd gone to college, I wouldn't know what to do.

What are you, like this guy now?

You know, Pete, I've been thinking that if it would make you happy,

you could come and live with me.

Like we did this summer.

I mean, I still have to work during the day.

I know these streets. I know these names. I know how it works. It's just

same. Everything is all right.

Thank you.

Being that the young woman in question was generally uncooperative, we can

a discussion about how best to restore you to your classroom.

I'm absolutely thrilled.

I'd like to tender my resignation.

I wish that I still had you.

Hey there, Jersey, will you know my name?

Another boy with a ball and chain, yeah, coming back to haunt you.

Honey, I don't miss you.

Think about it now, I'll never fall apart.

I know I should have saved my life.

What?

Nothing.

Who's eating the bath?

Your boyfriend.

It's not my boyfriend.

I don't think mine, not your boyfriend.

Look at him.

I don't think it's going to look all right.

No,

I should have stayed, but I had to run away.
