to get some sleep.

Well, if you don't mind furnished rooms, 1 know the Woodleys usually have one.

Wait a minute.

! mean, where's my mom gonna sleep?

You saw what Skid Row looked like

she could be sleeping in a doorway

or something.

[Paul] Looks like he was tired after all.

Poor kid) he's exhausted,

I'm tired too:

Chances are she'd be drawn

to a familiar place, you know.

He's fast asleep.

Allright.

But I don't wanna be gone too long.

What a beautiful, clear night.

It's as if we're right

Sometimes I pretend that ! could just fly away among the stars, don't you?

Jenny's the same way, isn't she?

She used to look at the stars

Tell/ me more about her.

When she looked up at the stars...

[sighing] Yeah.

Sometimes she would cry,

and I would just hold her for the longest time.

Are you the one who made her’so Unhappy?

I don't know.

! believe it made her unhappy when ! left.

Why did you leave her?

What did she tell you?

Only that you left.

I had to.

We couldn't be together anymore.

l left her, but 1 took her with me.

Poor Jenny!

Poor Paul.

Poor Angela.

Come on!

Here you go, sir.

[Paul] What is this place?

-It's a magic place.

"! am made of that self mettle as my sister,

and prize me at her worth.

In my true heart, ! find she names my very deed of love,

only she comes too short.

That! profess myself

an enemy to all other joys

which the most precious square of sense possesse

And find lam alone felicitate

Don't I get a hand?

Sure.

[Angela laughs]

I'm sure that was amusing in the sixth grade,

but right now it would sure be pleasant

to hear the sound of at least

one pair of hands smacking together.

[chuckling] Thank you.

[Angela groans]

Is that what you do, up on the stage?

and the people on it just players?

-You did, just now. -[laughs]

You are So weird.

Man, you are just so delightfully weird.

It was him, Billy Shakespeare.

Everyone tells me that you're a very bright boy, Scott,

He just took off. He just Solin one day.

[chuckles]

Yes you do, Scott.

And so will I, very soon.

It's true, isn't it?

How can ! help?

Do you know where Jenny's room is?

Yes, of course ! do.

l can't just walk in through the front door.

You don't have to.

Jenny's very clever about things:

She's a survivor. [grunts]

! doubt if anybody in the whole place knows about this except her.

Where willl it come out?

Boiler room, main building.

And then?

Up to the first floor.

Find the corridor with the TV room,

follow it to the end and then up those stairs.

Where's Jenny's room?

Second floor, middle of the hall, left side.

-Angela. -No.

but I think you get the idea.

Go to her.

Like us.

Sleeping outside in the cold andi the rain.

Well, wherever she is, we'll find her.
