Hi, Ms. Abloh.

Hello, Richie. How may I help you?

I wanted to talk to you about my grade.

Well, Richie, we both know you could have done better.

You know, I was just wondering if maybe there was any extra credit I could do or

any other thing I could do to work up my grade.

That really wouldn't be fair to the other students.

I'm sorry.

Richie, I don't really understand.

I mean, if you were so concerned about your grade, why didn't you do the work

when it was due?

I tried.

It's just I've been having some problems at home.

What kind of problems?

Nothing I really want to get into at the moment.

Well, you're not giving me much to work with here.

I know, Ms. Affleck. I'm sorry.

Listen, I'm about to grab a little lunch.

Do you want to come with me?

Maybe we can discuss it a little further?

Yeah, I'd love to. Thank you.

So, do you feel like telling me what's going on?

It's my mom.

Yeah.

What about your mom?

Well, I stay with her and help her out with bills.

She's got some issues, but I'm just helping

out, getting the bills paid and rent and all that.

Wow, you're a good son.

Well, she's been taking all the money to the casino.

And she's got some guy in there that she's been seeing.

And she's been playing her for a total fool.

So she hasn't been paying the rent or anything.

Oh, no.

Richie, I'm so sorry.

Yeah, I just found out a few weeks ago.

The rent hasn't been paid in three, four months.

The landlord naturally strongly evicted us.

How did you find out?

Well, the power got turned off, then the phone, so I knew something was wrong.

So I went through her mail and I found the eviction letter that she got and

she's been hiding it from me.

So I don't get it.

She's been gambling?

With this guy, yeah.

I guess he kept telling her that...

They could win back the money, but they just got in deeper and deeper.

What are you going to do?

I've been trying to clean up this mess, but I don't make a lot of money.

I work at a restaurant and just don't make enough.

Take care of everything.

So I had to take a second job, and now I got everything paid up.

Wow, that's wonderful.

What's your second job?

Must pay really well.

Yeah, um... I'm escorting.

For older ladies.

You're escorting?

Oh, Richie.

I don't know if that's the best route of choice.

I had to.

And I could have let my mom get thrown out in the street.

I'm her son, so I had to make it better.

Well, you're not going to do this permanently, are you?

No. I just feel I'll find a place.

My mom's going to move her boyfriend in to live with her.

He's there now, actually.

So I'm just looking for a place of my own.

You know, I have a spare room.

Why don't you stay with me?

And you don't have to pay rent.

You can study and get yourself back on track.

You can stop escorting and get your grades back up.

I can do that?

Really?

Yes.

In fact, I may have to insist on it.

Now that I know you're doing something illegal just to take care of your mom

not to flunk out, I can't allow that, Richie.

As a teacher, as your teacher, I just can't.

Thank you, Miss Adlove.

Hey, how's it going? Great.

I think I'm going to ace that test tomorrow.

Good. I'm really glad to hear it.

Thank you, Mr. Abloat.

Thank you for everything.

Thank me by getting an A on that test.

As a teacher?

As your teacher?

I just can't.

Thank you, Ms. Affleck.

Come in.

Hey, Miss Atlow.

I, uh... I just wanted to say thank you for everything.

You're a really amazing lady.

You're a pretty amazing young man, Richie. And I really didn't want to see

fall through the cracks.

Nobody cared for me like this before. Nobody would really ever care what

happened to me.

Not even my mom, I guess.

Honey, she'll come around.

I'm sure.

Yeah, well, at least I can focus on school now.

I owe it all to you.

Like I said, if you get good grades, it's the biggest thank you I could get.

That's not all I want to give you.

I want to give you a whole lot more than that.

If you'll just let me.

Richie, what are you doing?

Please, just stop looking at me like a student.

For tonight,

Mmm.

Oh my God.

Mmm.

um um

Thank you.

Okay, everybody, so that's it for today.

I'm going to read chapter 3 on the challenge of sexual mating and

for your midterm exams, okay?

So have a good weekend, and I'll see you next week.

Yeah, honey Yeah, yeah, I know I'm gonna be working late Yeah, now the board of

directors want me to Have a meeting and go over the curriculum Yeah, I know.

I know it's a charade. I've got to put on a face. You know it is.

the class.

I've been waiting for this all week.

I've been waiting for so long.

Thank you.

You know what you want in it?

What are you doing over winter break?

Nothing much, just staying here.

Not flying home?

No, I have to finish up my thesis.

You're the hardest working man in grad school.

My crown jewel.

You're the best student I've ever had.

Really? I just thought I was another dude passing through.

No, of course not.

Thank you for all the help you've given me this year.

I hope I can be half the professor you are one day.

Leave me in the dust.

Nobody could leave you in the dust.

School's so quiet now.

Yeah, I guess people couldn't wait to get out of here and start the vacations,

guess.

The halls are like a ghost town.

I guess we should get out of here, too.

Actually, I'm going to stay a while. I have a few things I need to finish up.

But don't let me keep you.

Oh.

Okay, then.

I guess I'll see you after the new year.

Yeah, yeah. I'll see you then.

Happy holidays, Rocco.

Yeah, well, I don't want you to be proud of me.

You're my crown jewel.

You're the best student I've ever had.

I just thought I was another dude passing through.

Thank you for all the help you've given me this year.

I hope I can be half the professor you are one day.

Leave me in the dark.

Nobody can leave you on the dot.
