(Irv)
There´s a particular
brand of pit

that grows in your stomach

when you know
you´re losing control

and there´s nothing
you can do about it.

Heavy as granite and moldering.

- We made it.
- Yeah. Barely.

Let me take you to a theater

in town instead
of worrying who might see us.

You wanna fight
again or see the movie?

A little bit of both.

We have time to make
the show if we divide.

- Buy tickets, I´ll pick snacks.
- Why do you get snacks?

Because you have
this weird thing

against fake butter. Go buy.

Hey. Can I get two
for "The Last Samurai"?

Okay.

Hold it. I´m gonna need
to see some ID, please.

Since when?

Since 1968, when the Motion
Picture Association of America

said no one under
17 can be admitted

´into an R-rated film
without a guardian.´

Well, I´ve been seeing R-rated
films since I was born

so I was grandfathered
in, I assure you.

There´s an 8:15 showing
of "The Rugrats" if you want.

´There´s plenty of seats.´

I dunno how to explain this to
you in the short time that I´ve

but this is very,
very important, okay?

I´m on a date,
which is rare.

You look like a guy
who could appreciate that.

No, I´m not saying that I don´t
think that you get action.

But, no, I´m sure you do

but...look, just, you
gotta let me in. Alright?

Here´s the money.
Take it. Keep the change.

Next.

I decided to
compromise on the butter,

so I took it on the side,
which is pretty vile.

Did you get tickets?

- Can I have two for "Samurai"?
- Are you over 17?

And are you this boy´s
parent or guardian?

You´re getting
too good at this.

(Andy)
´Well, there are
advantages to maturity.´

´Experience and wisdom.´

- And a vocabulary.
- Well, there´s that.

"Plunder."

´Double-letter score for 28
points. Take that.´

Your turn.

Oh, I think I should just
admit defeat gracefully.

Oh, come on, you can´t
give up that easily.

Oh, here´s a little
word just for you.

Oh, wait a minute.
There´s more.

Now, I know you just landed
a triple-word score.

but did you
just proposition me?

Possibly.

Probably.

I should go.

- What?
- It´s 9, gotta pick up Delia.

I thought she was
at Brittany´s house.

She is. But if
she stays too long

they find something
to fight about.

Which, Delia says, means
they´re best friends.

- Girls are complicated.
- Yeah, we sure are.

This was great. Really.

See you tomorrow.

(Irv)
It´s the way we´re
built, I suppose.

A natural reaction to

the unstoppable spin
of the Earth below.

Forever trying to wrest control
of life, love, work and home.

And when we can´t
get control there

we´ll fight for
it where we can.

Don´t think we´re watching
whatever you´re watching.

I was here first.
Aren´t you on a date?

I was. Now I´m back.

It´s early. Didn´t
you have a nice time?

It was great. It was better than
great, actually. It was amazing.

- You? How was your date?
- Fantastic. Couldn´t be better.

- Lucky you.
- Lucky everyone.

Don´t even think about it.

(Irv)
As if we think
we could stop the world

from spinning
just by being mad.

[theme music]

[music continues]

(Irv)
´There you are.´

- Oh, dear.
- Cool, it´s just underwear.

You said that she´d
park here till things

cooled down
at home, not forever.

Now, how long is this gonna go
on for? Another month?

- You´re not even listening.
- I am.

I just don´t like anything
you´re saying.

And what in God´s
name made you think

you needed an extra
helping of cobbler?

It´s our house.

I don´t have to put on a suit
to get a glass of water.

We live here and are old
and we should be able to walk

around in whatever we please.
It´s our God-given right.

What do you want me to do,
hurl my granddaughter out?

She´s too used to having
the run of the house.

I love her, but she´s
inconsiderate and messy.

Curfew´s not enough,
you gotta lay down some rules.

Hello, just looking for
the cordless, don´t mind me.

I´m, like, invisible.

You know, you should really
leave it on the charger.

´Goodnight, guys.´

Oh, shove it.

I´m serious.
My family´s driving me crazy.

That´s what families do. At
least, the ones I´ve been part.

Not like this.

We went through dinner last
night, and no one said a word.

This is my dad
we´re talking about.

It´s like someone took
the batteries out.

They´re scared if
they say anything

it´ll start another fight.

Because of Amy?

Since she left,
our house is a funeral home

It´s like Colin´s house,
except for she´s not dead.

She just walked out so she could
hang out with a druggie freak.

Why is that guy running?
We only do five laps.

It´s that Gavin Curtis.

Wrestlers are doing weigh-ins.
He´s shaving the last pound.

- Why?
- He sucked last year at 160.

He comes in this year
at 142, he´s undefeated.

If he wins regionals,
he´ll be the first from

County in like forever
to go to State.

Where are my clothes?
I left them right here.

It´s like five degrees.
It´s third period.

What am I gonna wear?

Yo, Diaphram!

Dude, go kick his ass.

- Why?
- Because I said so. Go, kill.

How many times do I have
to tell you? I´m not a dog.

(all shouting)
Yeah!

In by a half.

Feeling ready?

- Gavin, you okay?
- Yeah, I´m good.

(Andy)
´Seems okay to me.´

Are you sure?

Twenty laps on no breakfast,
and I´d hit the floor too.

That´s my fault.
I should´ve made

sure he ate something
before he left.

Normally we sit together,
read the paper.

I had an early meeting.

It was so stupid.
I was holding off

on hydrating until
after the scales.

It´s one thing to lose on the
mat, but if I couldn´t compete

because I fell on my face
three days before regionals, I..

After all,
everyone´s helped me.

Don´t think about
the weight okay? Just take care.

He will. I´m gonna be watching
you like a hawk, kiddo.

I´m gonna feed you that water
bottle myself. Got that?

Must be fun having
people worrying about you.

I keep telling them not to.

Believe me,
there´s a whole town

full of people
depending on this kid.

´They´re having a pep rally
for him at school.´

It´s the first for wrestling
since they built it.

But I´ll be okay
for the match, right?

I wouldn´t worry. There´s a spot
on the Wheaties box for you.

But you know what?
I´ll call for a scan

and some blood work,
just in case.

Why don´t you take
off your sweatshirt?

(Curtis)
Well, we sure
appreciate this, doctor.

I´m gonna need dentistry
to sign this permission slip.

I don´t want him
to miss practice

and they won´t let
him train without it.

I´d like to wait for
the results of the lab work.

I´d rather not rush this, and
I think Gavin could use a rest.

He can take it.
Gotta keep his momentum.

I´ll tell you what.
I´ll push the lab for results

and run this slip over to your
coach tonight. That work?

- Sure thing.
- Great.

Those shorts make
you look even skinnier.

(Delia)
´Did you wear them to school?´

(Madison)
´That´s an interesting
wardrobe choice.´

Sort of retro-funk-jock-dork.

- Just going for a jog.
- You don´t jog.

Yes, I do. I started, ever
since I saw "28 Days Later."

I´m not in good
enough shape to survive

a post-apocalyptic
zombie world.

- Trying to get buff.
- You don´t get buff.

Did you hear the Broncos
are trading Kanell?

- No way.
- I just saw it on the internet.

You should go check it out.

That was mean.

I think you
look cute. Go team.

I can do a tracksuit
next time we go out.

How about tomorrow? We can
make up for the other night.

It´ll be tough, but I think

I know a guy who can get us
into "The Rugrats" movie.

I can´t tomorrow. I´ve got this
evil Abnormal Psych midterm.

Guess who put off eight chapters
for the night before?

- I´ll be held in the library.
- Want some company?

I could bring
my Euro History.

We´re doing this
interesting unit on Portugal.

That´s sweet.
But, you know, I just..

I can´t risk seeing you in those
shorts again and distracting me.

Besides, library´s on campus
and you need an ID to get in.

Story of my life.

We could do a movie at home

after I finish
my test. Your pick.

I´m gonna tell
Delia you were kidding

before she has
a heart attack.

Dinner´s at 6.

[whistle]

How could you not see that
coming? Let´s go again.

- Hey, coach.
- Hey, Dr. Brown.

I was told you were gonna
stop by. What´s the word?

Word is good. I brought
Gavin´s permission slip.

He was low on blood sugar.

Hemoglobin too. But he´s
under the line for anemia.

Poor kid. He´s
so set on winning.

We all want him
to qualify for State

but he made himself sick
just worrying about it.

- What do you mean?
- He got a little queasy.

He threw up?
No one mentioned that.

Nervous stomach is all.

He gets that way sometimes.
Calls it stage fright.

- Why, is there a problem?
- Oh, no, no, no.

You said you had
that permission slip?

Oh, yeah.
You know what?

I came here to bring it to
you, and I left it on my desk.

I´ll have to bring
it back. Sorry.

Make sure we get it.
I´d hate to lose our chance

at State
because of paperwork.

´Okay, come on,
let´s go. Come on.´

Well, I was planning to run
just a few basic tests.

And then something your coach
said made me wanna look again.

Is there something wrong?

Well, I think there may
be cause for concern.

And I actually want Gavin
to be here when I say this.

I think the reason
you passed out

the other day
wasn´t overtraining.

I think that you induced
vomiting to make weight.

And your electrolyte levels

plus the enamel damage shown
in your dental records

lead me to believe that this
has happened more than once.

I´ve only done it
a couple of times

´when I thought
I wouldn´t make weight.´

Lab results suggest it´s more
chronic than a couple of times.

Listen, my son is
not like some girl

who´s making
herself puke because

she reads too many
fashion magazines.

He has dropped two weight
classes this season

and I´m concerned

that this could be the start
of a very dangerous trend.

Gavin, I want you to wait
outside for a minute.

You don´t have to worry
about me, doc. I´m okay.

Gavin´s an incredible athlete.

Possibly the finest wrestler his
age and his weight in the state.

This Saturday he´s got
a chance to prove that.

(Andy)
I think his health is
what matters, Mr. Curtis.

And all the physical
evidence I have points

to the possibility
of an eating disorder.

Now, I don´t have the behavioral
information that you do

but think about it.

Has he been uncomfortable
at meal times?

Has he been excusing himself?

Has he been
preoccupied with privacy?

(Curtis)
I´m telling you that
my son is alright.

What he needs is for you
to sign that piece of paper

saying that you agree.

I´m sorry, Mr. Curtis.

I can´t sign anything
that would allow him

to compete under
these circumstances.

Yeah. Well, I´m sure
we can find a doctor who will.

(male #1)
´We can all learn
something from Gavin.´

From when he started
the year as a powerhouse

to his 12-second
pin last week.

I am as proud as I am amazed.

Now, are you all gonna be there
with me to watch him win?

- Yeah!
- Yeah.

Is he still talking?

Don´t tell me you´re not going.

- It´s a sporting event.
- You should ask Madison to go.

She´s dying to get back
into high school.

You say she never wants
to be seen with you

but you should ask
her to be seen.

You´d get your clothes
stolen a lot less.

We´ve been in public already
and hit our quota for disaster.

Convince her to go again. Do
that cool talking thing you do.

(male #2)
´Yeah!´

Hi, Bright.

How´s the "no talking to me"
thing going for you?

Glad to see you´re finally

sticking with
something for once.

Look, just tell me how
everyone´s doing.

How´s Mom and Dad?

Can you tell him
that he´s proven

his point and
can get over himself?

Will you tell whoever´s there
that she can´t talk to you

because you´re my friend
and not whatever you guys were.

And that you´re
not welcome here anymore.

- What? Me or her?
- Will you just go away?

Do you plan on
keeping that up?

If it makes her feel what we´re
feeling while she´s off with her

boyfriend then, yeah,
it´ll probably be a while.

[bell ringing]

I got Math.

- Hey there, stranger.
- Hey.

´Mind if I sit?´

No. Just knock that stuff
out of the way.

Have you looked at the incidence
of unhealthy weight-control

practices among student
athletes, especially wrestlers?

Fasting, diuretics,
binge-purge cycles?

They think sports is an excuse
to do permanent damage.

Is there a chance you´ll be done
with this by Saturday night?

- Is it my turn to make dinner?
- No.

I was thinking of something
more off-campus.

You know, break
the routine a bit.

Look at this, 9.4%
of wrestlers say they induced

vomiting at least once a week,
and this is in high school.

Okay. Let´s try
it this way, Andy.

- No talking for two minutes.
- You and me or just me?

- Just me. Okay, I´ll stop.
- Okay.

You don´t know this, but we are
going on a nice date Saturday.

- You ready?
- Mm-mm.

You pick me up at 6:15,

showered and wearing that blue
jacket that I like you in.

You will have paid
in advance for the babysitter

that you will have booked
for the next six hours.

You with me?

I will take us
to Monticello´s, a shockingly

authentic Tuscan
restaurant for Colorado.

We´ll take our
time, order dessert

and Bonnie Raitt
goes on-stage at 9.

- You got tickets to--
- No distractions.

Just you and me
and a lovely evening.

Please nod twice if this
plan is acceptable to you.

Good.
Pick me up at 6:15.

Don´t be late.
Enjoy your reading.

Hello?

Hello?

Has anyone seen the cordless?

Hello?

Hey, has anyone seen my..

Oh, my God. Oh, my..

- Amy?
- Oh, God.

Are you okay?

I don´t know
anything right now.

Do we have
to talk about that?

No, no, actually,
we don´t. We don´t need to

talk about
anything ever again.

I´m gonna go die now.

Nuts.

♫ We go out in stormy weather ♫

♫ We rarely practice discern ♫

♫ We make love
to some weird sin ♫

♫ We seek out the taciturn ♫

♫ That´s the way we get by ♫

♫ The way we get by ♫

♫ Oh, that´s the way we get by ♫

♫ The way we get by.. ♫

Sorry I´m late.

- What are you doing here?
- I needed to study.

This seemed like a clean,
dry, well-lit place.

You were right about
the whole needing-an-ID thing.

What you were wrong about
is how easy it is to borrow one.

I just have to get this back
to Ronadeep Banarjee by 11:00.

Exchange students
are so friendly.

Let me try this again.

Relax, I just came
by to prove a point.

Which is?

You kind of already proved it

by looking around to see
who could see us right now.

How much time do
we spend together?

A lot.

- How much fun is that?
- A lot.

Good answer.
Now here´s a tough one.

How many times
have we had fun outside

the confines
of my father´s property?

- Not a lot.
- Try again.

- Never.
- Exactly.

Look, we´re great,
you and me. I mean

we like dumb movies,
you laugh at my stupid jokes

you even pretended
to like my dumb comic books.

And I appreciate that.

But, you know, we´re great

as long as we´re in this bubble
and nobody can see us.

Which...has its charm.

But we´ve been
at this six weeks

and I still haven´t
met your roommate.

- Well, she´s a total bitch.
- Okay.

But if we´re gonna
be more than two people.

who sneak away
to movie theaters

and make out in an ugly car
four afternoons a week

you´re gonna have
to get over it.

I´m not holding
up my end of being

the mature one
in the relationship.

Relax, you´re 20,
not Barbara Bush.

The maturity
expectation is pretty low.

Why don´t you come out
with me on Saturday night?

There´s this wrestling
thing at County.

It´s supposed to be can´t-miss.

At County?
I swore once I graduated

I´d never walk
those halls again.

Okay, think of
it as an experiment.

We´ll go for one hour, no
hand-holding or anything.

- Sounds swell.
- Really?

Do your homework.

[doorbell rings]

Mrs. Curtis.

I´m not catching you
in the middle of something?

No, no, no. I was
just reading. Come on in.

What can I do for you?

I don´t know.
Could we talk for a minute?

Sure, come on inside.

I probably should
have been here months ago.

Strange how something in front
of you makes no sense

until someone points it out.

What you said about Gavin,
signs to look for.

You noticed something?

After school started, I found
all this food in his closet.

You know, cereal, M&M´s.

Everything he loves but would
never let me bring in the house.

I thought he was just keeping
it for after matches

you know, as a reward.

Another time, he came home
with his eyes all puffy

and bloodshot like
he´d been in a fight.

And he told me that he
had accidentally put in

contact-lens cleaner
instead of saline.

How did I not see it?

How could I let this get so far?

Well, we all tend not
to think about these things.

Not with our own kids
and especially not with boys.

I thought I was lucky.

It´s not as if he´s got a
problem with drugs or drinking.

Have you spoken
with your husband?

Oh, he doesn´t want
to talk about it.

He´s so proud of Gavin, you
know? How well he´s done.

He said if Gavin
needs any help

we can get it for him
after the season.

Can you help him now?

Please?

You know, you´re
the one who wanted to go.

Now I´m the one who doesn´t.
Can we just go for a drive?

I haven´t been back to County
since they kicked me out.

You said everyone was gonna
be at this wrestling thing.

And that´s the problem.

What? Your brother´s
gonna be there?

He´s still acting like an ass?

- He plays to his strengths.
- Well, I tell you what.

I´m fine blowing
this thing off

but you can´t keep ducking every
time you see the guy, you know?

Why don´t we just go for an
hour, and if you don´t like it

we´re back here
making out by "Seinfeld?"

[Tommy chuckles]

- Hey.
- Hey.

Half-hour to curtain.
Now a bad time?

No problem.

I wasn´t sure
you´d wanna see me.

I don´t blame you, doc.
You´re just worried about me.

I appreciate it.

- Well, how you feeling?
- Good. Strong.

That´s good.

I know you´d hate
to disappoint everyone.

´Your parents, your coaches.´

You got a lot
of fans here too.

In fact, I think you´re so
afraid to disappoint them

that you can´t really see
how bad this has gotten.

Look, I´m not sick.
I only threw up a few times

just before tournaments.

I don´t believe you.

´I don´t even think this
is about wrestling anymore.´

It might have been at first.

Maybe you threw up once to make
weight. Then maybe one more

time after eating everything
you couldn´t all week.

´By the time you
got scared about´

´what you were doing,
you couldn´t stop.´

´Your body was
doing it for you.´

But you can stop, Gavin.
You can stop right now.

You don´t have to win.
You don´t even have to compete.

You don´t get it.

I´ve trained hard to get here.
I used to be fat, slow.

I screwed up everything.
No one knew me.

And they were
right, I was nobody.

Now? I´m stronger
than I´ve ever been.

I fight better. I study
better. Girls look at me.

I can´t lose.
I´m not gonna give that up.

- I´m not gonna be like them.
- Because your friends are weak?

They let everyone control
them, do what they´re told.

No one tells me anything.

Not as long as I keep training.

[Gavin sighs]

Look, don´t worry
about me, doc. I´m fine.

[sighs]

[crowd cheering]

Hey, Senor Walker.

[speaking in Spanish]

- Madison?
- Oh, my God, Josh.

- Josh?
- I heard you were teaching.

He took me to the prom.
He was this cool senior

and I was a completely
clueless freshman.

So how do you
two know each other?

I work for his dad. Babysit
for the family. Pay bills.

(female #1)
´Mr. Walker!´

Look, I have to chaperone,
but it was great to see you.

So you were my Spanish
teacher´s prom date?

Let´s just find some seats.

Ephram, you came.

Yeah. You know, school spirit.

Oh, I don´t know
if you´ve met Tommy.

Tommy, this is Ephram.
Ephram, Tommy.

- How you doing?
- How you doing, man?

- You´ve met Madison, right?
- ´Yeah. Once.´

- You guys find seats yet?
- No, we´re just looking around.

- You can sit here.
- No, we can´t stay long.

We gotta get her
back to campus.

Really soon, actually.

[doorbell rings]

Hey.

- Didn´t you get my message?
- That was about an hour ago.

I´m so sorry. I must have
just lost track of time.

But I´m really
excited about tonight.

Yeah, me too.

Just this case I´m working
on got tough tonight.

I´m dealing with
this eating disorder

that no one wants
to see or see treated..

You don´t wanna
hear about my case?

Not really.

´Let me ask you something.´

How do you think this is going?

You and me?

- I think it´s great.
- So do I. That´s the problem.

If things we´re going badly,
we would just break up

and you wouldn´t
have to hide from me.

I´m not hiding.
This is a work thing.

´C´mon, Linda,
don´t read into this.´

A patient came to me
with a serious problem.

What am I supposed to do?

Nothing. Let´s just forget it.

Do you think I planned this?

Do you think I hired a bulimic
to screw up our date?

No, but I think if
it wasn´t this patient,

it would be another one.

Things are getting
complicated here.

It makes sense that you
would retreat into medicine.

You´re in control there.

Andy, you told me
the stories about how you

used to miss birthdays
with your kids.

And now it´ll
be dinners with me.

I didn´t tell you
to throw it in my face.

Sorry, I´m not, I´m trying
to understand, and I do.

- No, you don´t.
- You´re a doctor. It´s smart.

No one´s gonna argue with
that. No one´s gonna say--

- Come on. Here we go.
- ´No, don´t go help people.´

I can´t compete
with that. Nobody can.

Oh, will you just
stop it, Julia?

I am so sorry. I´m sorry.

I didn´t mean that.

You should go.

- Let me explain.
- No need to.

[crowd cheering]

Now it is.

I´ll be right back.

- Come on, just let it go.
- What do you want from me?

Tell me how you´re doing. You´re
allowed to do that, right?

I heard you got the highest
math grade. That´s great.

- Yeah. That´s great.
- I get it, you´re mad.

You don´t have to keep doing
this. Just talk to me.

I have nothing
I wanna say to you.

Just go talk to your
crackhead boyfriend.

- He´s not like that.
- Says you.

Believe what you want.
I didn´t wanna leave home.

You saw what
Mom and Dad did.

You had your chance,
and you chose him over us.

You wanna blame Mom and Dad
for kicking you out?

You have no idea
what you did to them.

You gave up everything
you used to care about.

It´s Colin
all over again.

Listen, man. I know
this isn´t my thing--

No, it´s not,
so just stay out of it.

She´s making peace.
Cut her some slack.

Bro, whatever
you´re about to say

is gonna be wrong,
so just back off.

Relax, I´m not trying
to start anything.

No, you did that
when you came after my sister.

It wasn´t enough
you messed up your life

now you gotta take down ours?

Oh, yeah, why not, what´s one
more messed-up family, right?

No wonder she left you guys.

[crowd cheering]

Quit it.

Bright, quit it.

[cheering continues]

So is it that bad?

We´re gonna have to suspend you.

Come on. You´re gonna suspend me
for going after Tommy Callahan?

´He got kicked out of school
for selling drugs.´

Tommy doesn´t go to school here
anymore. All we can do about him

is make sure that he stays
off of school grounds.

We have a zero-tolerance
rule about violence in school.

A week´s suspension
is the minimum.

- Now, I got you a week.
- Great. Thanks.

Don´t thank me yet.

A letter about this has to go
out to school that you apply to.

You were fighting, Bright.
What else could I do?

I know. I know,
I screwed up. It´s what I do.

If you´re gonna yell at me,
can you do it now?

I´m not gonna
yell at you.

You know how I feel
about fighting, Bright.

It´s completely
unacceptable.

If I were you,
I can´t say

I wouldn´t have done
the same thing.

Which doesn´t mean
I don´t expect more from you.

I´m sorry.

It´s just
he got in my face

and I just kept thinking
about what he did to you.

Me?

Ever since she left, you don´t
talk anymore, you know?

You look miserable all the time.
You´re like Amy used to be.

We´re your parents.
We worry about you.

It´s not your job
to worry about us.

I actually thought I had a
chance to get into some schools.

Now they´re gonna see a
suspension on my application.

Completely screw up everything
I busted my ass for.

- What am I gonna do?
- We´ll figure it out.

I figured I´d skip
the saga of unreturned

phone calls
and just ambush you.

- With pizza.
- Well, you can´t eat flowers.

This is the more practical
peace offering.

You have a lot to learn.

I´m pretty quick.

Look, I have
a feeling I screwed up.

- I just wanted to be sure.
- Be sure.

I´m not gonna defend
what I know was stupid.

I´m just gonna say I´m sorry,
mean it, stick with it.

I just wanted
to introduce you to my world.

You weren´t introducing me.

You were using me
and flaunting me.

And it was embarrassing
and adolescent

and exactly like
you said it wouldn´t be.

I just don´t want our lives
to be separate anymore.

We´ve been trying
to keep it a secret

and all I wanna do is shout
your name from the rooftops.

Please, don´t.

Well, don´t worry. Rooftops are
a lot lower in a mountain town.

It´s much more
dramatic in New York.

This secrecy is making me feel
you don´t wanna be in this.

It would help me that you were
ready to be okay with this.

I am.

- But..
- But?

I´m not ready for other people
not to be okay with us.

I don´t hide you because
you´re a constant embarrassment.

Even if it doesn´t feel like it,
we´re doing something wrong.

So what?

So we get that
this is different.

But not
everybody else will.

You might not like me lying
to my old prom date about us.

But as your teacher
he has a legal obligation

to make a phone call
if he suspects something.

Well, we can´t stay
in the bubble forever.

I mean, the bubble isn´t even
that safe. The bubble could pop.

The bubble could burn down.

Somebody could rob the bubble.

How about we figure
us out first before

we force ourselves
onto the world?

Alright, but can
we kiss and make up now?

Because I´m on the clock.

Inside.

Feel the wrist
and then hips up. Pop it up.

Hey, Eric, can you
give me a minute? Thanks.

So you´re going
to State. You made it.

Yeah, it looks like it.

The paper says
you´re the first one

from Peak County
in 40 years.

- Want a copy?
- My dad got a bunch.

I wanted
to talk to you.

I thought we did that.

No, I tried
to before your match

but that wasn´t
you I was talking to.

That was your disease. And
you do have a disease, Gavin.

I just won.
I don´t need a lecture.

You´re a scary kid,
you know that?

And here´s something else
you don´t know.

What you´re doing
doesn´t make you special

it makes you bulimic. It´s not
exotic or new, it´s textbook.

Just like what´s
gonna happen to you.

People don´t gain strength
from bulimia, they get weak.

They get ulcers and heart
failure, and they die.

- But I don´t need your help.
- Yeah, I wish I could help.

I´ve done everything I can.
I´ve told your parents

your teachers, your coaches.

It´s up to them
to care enough now.

And it´s up to you
to ask for their help.

- I don´t need their help.
- Yes, you do.

You are a member of a very big
club right now, Gavin.

And the one thing you all have
in common is you think you can

control it,
but you can´t. It owns you.

Your eating disorder
is gonna be

the fiercest opponent
you will ever face.

You may never beat it. The worst
part is that not a single person

in your life is telling
you that right now.

All they want for you is to win
at State, the whole town does.

So I am gonna be
the one lone, unpopular

voice out there
when you wrestle.

I´m gonna root against you.
I hope you lose.

I won´t.

I had no idea that Bright
was that mad at me.

It seems like everybody is.

My dad can´t even
look at me anymore

and I´m not sure my grandparents

are so psyched to have me around
right now, either.

We can go to Mexico. I´ll drive.

Hey...this isn´t
your fault, okay?

Or Bright´s. It´s mine.

You were just trying
to talk to him.

Yeah. But you never had these..

These kinds of problems
before you started

finding excuses
to stop by the drugstore.

I told you then that you didn´t
want someone like me around

and I probably should´ve
bowed out a few weeks ago.

Don´t say that. I didn´t let my
parents make my decisions for me

and I´m not gonna
let you do that either.

Bright was right,
I did choose you over them.

If I could have
it all, I would.

But..

Are you sure this
is what you want?

Yes.

[knock on door]

- Got a sec?
- I gotta get to work anyway.

Hey.

I´m glad.

Bye.

Hi.

- Nice kid.
- Yeah, I think so.

You know, you are always
welcome here, rain or shine.

But you´ve gotta
be more mindful.

Irv and I are out of practice
having a kid around the house

and these are some
tight quarters.

Yeah, they are.
I´m sorry.

- I´ll try a little harder.
- Good.

This will help.
This is all yours.

To be plugged into your very own
line being installed tomorrow.

And this goes on
our bedroom door, pronto.

- Parenting accomplished.
- Thanks, Grandma.

About what you saw.

I´m sure that wasn´t the picture
you want on your bedside table

but you should be encouraged.

Shows some good strong genes.
I am your future, you know.

[slow music]

[knock on door]

No talking for two minutes.
That´s all I ask.

Andy, it´s fine.
I understand. Really.

´I mean, you changed
your mind about us´

and you certainly
have every reason to.

It´s just that you were
so sure about us before.

I know. It was fantastic.

The whole thing.
I met you, and I couldn´t sleep.

I told you how I felt,
and that was unstoppable.

And then I kissed you by all
those Christmas trees

and you kissed me back
and that was perfect.

The snow helped.

Listen...nothing would
feel more right..

...than to take that next
step right now and stay

and really not play Scrabble.

But I have a disease,
and that scares you.

No, that´s not it.

I understand the risks
...and I´m okay with it.

Well, then why
have you been hiding

behind a 16-year-old
bulimic boy?

Because you were right.

Every time things get messy,
I hide behind my work.

But if you´re
not afraid of the HIV--

I´m not afraid of sleeping
with you because of HIV.

I´m afraid because
of what it means.

If we take this
to the next level

I know...that we could
be starting something

that´s a whole lifetime.

I haven´t been here
in a long time, Linda

and...I didn´t think
I´d ever be here again.

But I am.

I´m here.

Not for very long.

Wait a minute. You´re kicking
me out? After all that?

Well, I think it´s almost 9.

I think you need to be
skittering out of here.

Actually, Delia has a sleepover.

Oh, since when?

Since I made plans when I
decided I was coming over here.

Well, what made
you so sure

that I was gonna
accept your apology?

[pleasant music]

[door closes]

- How was your night?
- It was pretty good. You?

Fine. Quiet.

- Anything you wanna watch?
- No, not really.

I passed one of those big
eyed people cartoon marathons

I´m sorry. We can just flip.

(Irv)
It´s amazing how
far we´ll go just

to maintain some
measure of control.

The world spins
a circle within a circle

and we grip so tight
it makes our knuckles white.

When all we really
wanna do is let go

lose control

fall

see where we land.
