What are you doing? Please stand up. We're taking this seriously. Oh, yeah,

yeah, sure.

We never sit and sing.

Of course, of course.

Can you do the second verse, though?

I want to be able to record it with my phone so I can practice with my father a

little bit. Sure, sure, sure.

One second.

Did you hear something?

No.

Hey, can I feel your diaphragm?

I really appreciate helping you out. Yes, yes, come here. I already said

is everything. Please, please, come here. Please, please.

Right here is the diaphragm. And so breathing exercises are actually more

important than the singing itself.

So we'll breathe in on the count of ten.

One, two, three.

And exhale on ten.

Just like that.

Yeah. Can I actually say one more time? I just want to make sure I have the

right area to focus on. I guess so. Okay.

Ready? We'll breathe in deep. Make sure that you breathe in deep with me,

please. Will do.

Got it?

Yeah, um, actually, I just have one more question.

I would really like to see how much air it takes for you to take your high five.

All the air, all the air. Can I kill? Yes, yes.

Kira! I know I heard that. Is that your brother upstairs?

Is it because we're making all this noise?

No, the brother, absolutely not. I'm not related to that animal upstairs at all.

Please continue.

I'm begging you to tell me, she said.

Kira, you've got to be kidding me.

Chad, it's nice to see you.

Hey, it's all right. I really want to go anyways.

Well, please don't go.

Look, I have a little treehouse I can use.

It's quiet.

It's secluded.

It won't bother us.

No, no, really, really.

I have to go, and I have to go learn my new script, but hey, I have a good word

for you.

Oh, hey, wait, wait, wait.

You know, there's a new theater house in town, and I was just thinking maybe you

and I could check it out.

Um.

Please let me show you how much I want to be more than your sister.

Bella, what the hell?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

What are you doing barging in like that? Are you covered? Yeah, I'm covered.

time, you could please give us some peace and quiet. No! You live like a

I'm the one that needs the peace and quiet. You don't understand.

Lacey's casting for the new Habanera, and I just know if I could flirt with

a little... I don't care.

Now is not a good time.

Really? Because it looks like you're so busy.

I was just... It helps me blossom.

It helps me sleep.

Is your dad or, like, my mom home yet?

No, not until tonight. Why?

That's great, because if you'll allow it, I can maybe get a few hours of shut

-eye. Okay? So, Amscray, Vamoose, kindly get the fuck out!

You know, it would be nice if everyone in my life said, slam a door in my face!

The black.

Knock on her door, ask her to keep it down. No way, that's like super awkward.

Maybe you could ask her later on to keep the noise down.

No, no way. I'm already pressing on the hospitality just to let me stay here.

Maybe you should have stayed in a hotel or something.

No, I mean, you already know that I've spent everything I have on my house. I

just had to figure out a way how not to get fired while the renovators are

working. I thought you just showed up to work whenever you felt like it. No,

wait, I've been late like almost every day this week. I mean, I could show up

work if my sleep state wasn't so screwed up.

like a decent night's sleep in almost two months.

They're newlyweds. I think it's kind of cute.

Ugh, absolutely disgusting.

Disgusting? What, you mean to tell me you don't find your mom attractive?

No! She's my mom.

And she's hot as hell.

You know, I had a sex dream about her once.

What are you, a carpet cleaner?

Carpet cleaner?

Oh, yeah, you know, the carpet cleaner, donut bumper.

A muff diver.

A bean flicker.

Are you trying to say lesbian?

Yeah.

No.

There are a couple of times I... Let's just say I've dabbled.

But for your mom, I'd totally be her carpet cleaner. Without question. Any

Any time.

On that note... Wait, Chad.

I can't find headphones.

Try them.

You're up early.

Yep.

Oh, and I asked Mom and Dad to stop pretending they're porn stars. What?

But you didn't, did you?

No. But I don't get why you don't just ask her.

Okay, because between me and my mom, there's just something weird about

sexuality.

Mm -hmm.

She was kind of like my first crush.

No, no, no. Don't get all judgy and shit, you know? I mean, this happens to

lot of guys.

And, you know, I'm just trying to get back on my feet after my divorce with

Jamie.

I don't want things to be weird while I stay here for the next couple months.

And you think it might be weird if you bring up sex?

I just kind of want to act as normal as possible, you know? I'm just kind of

hoping that these memories disappear.

Jesus. I was like, you... What did you do?

You know what?

It's nothing really serious, and I kind of regret bringing it up to you.

Um... What's going on with you?

Well, I'll hear from Lizzie if I get the role tomorrow, or maybe even today.

I'm really hoping she comes by today.

And if she does?

Keep it down.

Cool. I appreciate that.

Do you maybe want to go shopping with me?

My 19th is this weekend, and I really need a dress.

Maybe you can help me find something a little sexy?

Huh?

Shopping.

Oh, no, no.

No, I can't go shopping. I've got to go to work, and then afterwards I'm going

to swing by my place. I'm going to try and see if I can speed those contractors

up so I can get out of here fast.

Cool. Sounds great.

Yep.

You be good there, kiddo.

And wing it a minute.

I figure you don't do that. Yeah.

Look, I'm going to ask my dad to keep it down for you from now on. No, no,

absolutely not.

Yeah, it's fine.

Really. But honestly, I like your company.

I know.

It's a little bit quieter in my room than yours, right?

Yeah.

Why don't I sleep here?

If that's cool with you.

Yeah. It's fine.

deprivation is going to be the death of me.

I've been so sleep -deprived that last night I thought I saw you come into my

bed.

Really? Yeah, like you would ever leave this spacious bed for my twin bed.

It's funny you still fit that thing.

Oh, yeah.

I mean, this bed is much nicer.

You don't mind if I, like, spread out a little, do you?

What?

Wait, what?

Chad!

Chad, no!

Stop! Shh, shh, shh.

It's going to look weird if they walk in here and see me in your bed.

Oh, come on. Just tell them the truth, then.

What? Through the... No.

Hey, um... Uh -uh.

Oh, wait, wait. Good night, kiddo.

Whatever happened with you and your mom?

But the least you can do is tell them what happened.

You know about my dad, right? Before he went to prison.

He used to rough her up quite a bit.

When I got to be your age, I'd protect her from him.

God, he absolutely hated that.

So she started sleeping in my room to escape him, and I'd protect her if he

broke in.

Well, dad came home one night, drunk like usual.

I could usually take him out when he was drunk, but...

This time he was just running around the house, picking out everything of value

and just stuffing it in his suitcase.

He was going to sell it to get on some business deal, the thing that was

supposed to make us rich.

Mom was just upset and she was crying.

So I ran over and grabbed the phone and called the police on him like usual.

And this time he pulled a gun on me.

He had this cold, murderous look in his eyes.

I knew I was going to die.

She stood in front of me, and Dad pulled the trigger.

I mean, the gun misfired, obviously, but when he went to try and cock it back

again, I grabbed the coffee pot and hit him where it had knocked him out cold.

That was the night Mom decided to leave him, and he went to jail.

But, you know, she kept sleeping in my bed. She was just scared

that he would break out of prison and come kill us all.

Hell, I mean, she didn't even wake him.

crying most of the time one time i was just trying to calm her down i was

cutting her hair she just leaned in and kissed me

okay

um i'm really exhausted

really tired good night kiddo okay

Chad?

You say one word to end it.

I won't tell anyone.

Okay. I'm really, really exhausted, alright?

Good night, kiddo.

For the record, I don't think there's anything wrong with what you two did.

Who the hell gets to decide who you love?

I love her, but I'm not in love with her. And she isn't in love with me.

just confused.

And emotions are like wires in your head.

And they can get crossed when you've been through a lot of awful.

So who's prettier?

Your mom or Lacey?

We went to high school together.

Uh -huh.

Yeah, but...

I actually won't pay the bills.

So, stay in school.

Oh, and don't get married until you're 30.

Chad.

Kira, please leave.

You love me now.

Does this thing dare ever turn you on?

Don't be mad, it's just a question.

What are you doing?

I like you, Chad, but you never give me the time of day anymore.

I want to act, but I can't think.

I know a role in a musical is a... pipe dream, but I thought maybe if I could

score a role in that production, just maybe it would impress you.

Kira, you're acting really strange, okay?

I'm into you, Chad.

You can't be into me, obviously.

Please, can you not be so serious?

I don't want to marry you.

All I want is a kiss.

your arms around me all night.

But I swear to God, after that I'll just leave you alone. Let you sleep.

This is... This is absurd.

You don't think I'm pretty.

Your ex -wife, she's so pretty.

No, no, no. I think you're pretty.

No, you don't.

Fuck you.

I think you're beautiful, you're stunning.

Why else do you think I would be in bed when I know I shouldn't be?

for so long.

I could tell.

Yeah,

of course.

You think it could be more than just a thought to you?

If we

do this

and everything, you're going to be cool on everything afterwards.

Imagine your hands on the leaves.

Did you ever do this with your ex -wife?

She kind of seemed like a prude to me.

Your mom's sucking you off for your sister.

You thought you were going to make me tap out, didn't you?
