CHOIR [SINGING]: He's got the whole world in his hands

He's got you and me, sister In his hands

He's got you and me, brother In his hands

He's got you and me, sister In his hands

He's got the whole world In his hands

He's got the whole world In his hands

He's got the whole wide world In his hands

He's got the whole...

- I need to talk to you after church. - Talk to me now.

No, after. I need your help with something.

- Help with what? - Nothing.

Can I hang out in the church nursery with the twins?

- And miss Daddy's sermon? - Yes.

- No. - No fair. You let Simon go.

Simon's in the nursery helping Mrs. Kramer out

because she's short a volunteer today,

not because he wants to miss Daddy's sermon.

Why do you think he volunteered to help out?

CHOIR [SINGING]: He's got the whole world in his hands

He's got everybody here...

Okay. So Simon wants me to ask you why you're mad at him.

- I'm not mad at him. - Really?

I'm just never gonna talk to him.

Ever. For the rest of his life.

Because unlike some people, I would never knowingly hurt anyone.

Some people, like Simon?

Hmm. What do you think?

Huh. The old "answer a question with a question."

He's in big trouble.

Mm-hm.

[MICROPHONE FEEDBACK WAILS]

Few things make me as happy as when my congregation grows larger

by adding new parishioners,

so I would like to start our service today by welcoming the Carvers.

Uh, Bill, Sheila, Bobby, would you please stand up?

Let's give them a hearty Glenoak Church welcome.

[SIGHS]

Having new parishioners makes me think of beginnings,

which in turn makes me think about the ultimate beginning,

our beginning, Genesis,

when the Earth was cloaked in darkness until God said--

BOBBY: God said-- God said--

God said-- God said--

[CONGREGATION LAUGHS]

Well, I appreciate the help--

BOBBY: The help-- The help-- The help--

The help-- The help-- The help--

- Maybe we should-- - We should-- We should--

We should-- We should-- We should-- We should-- We should-- We should--

BILL: Excuse us.

[CONGREGATION CHATTERING]

- Thank you. - Good to see you.

- Thanks, bye. - Good.

- Yeah? - Great service.

MAN: Great service.

- Hey. - I'll see you.

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

Hey.

- Hey, how are you? MAN: Hi. How you doing?

Good. How's the new job?

MAN: Oh, very well. - Yeah?

- Yeah, everything's great. - Oh, thank the Lord.

MAN: Hi. WOMAN: How are you?

- Hi. - Hello.

I'm Annie Camden, Reverend Camden's wife.

We met before church, and it's Eric.

I just came back for my purse. We left so quickly, I forgot it.

- Is Bobby, okay? - Bobby's got ADD.

- Oh. - Attention deficit disorder.

His outbursts are worse when he's stressed,

even when he's on medication.

I think he just got nervous when he had to stand up in front of everyone.

I had no idea. I do that with all new members.

Oh, don't worry. Bobby's fine. My husband and I are fine.

Everyone's fine.

Thank you for your kind words. I'd better get back home.

[SIGHS]

- What? - I don't think everything's fine.

[SIGHS]

Come on.

Okay, you're mad at me.

I know how this works. I figure I have two options.

Either wait for you to stop being mad at me

and try to get you to tell me what I supposedly did,

or ignore you altogether.

That's three, not two.

Learn to count, Mr. Insensitive.

[SIGHS]

- How's John? - Fine.

- School? - Good.

- Yeah? Work at the hospital? - Greasy.

Ha, ha. And how's Shana?

[SIGHS]

Boy, it's hard to be humble when you're as good as I am.

What are you talking about?

I'm good at guessing what's wrong with my kids.

Shana and I are very happy.

Was it me or Friedrich Nietzsche who said, uh,

"Liar, liar, pants on fire"?

[PHONE RINGS]

Hello? Shana!

[MOUTHING] No. No.

Hi. Is Matt there? I just tried him at his place,

but John said he was at your house doing laundry.

- Sure, I'm-- - [MOUTHING]: Gone! Gone!

Can you hold on a second, please? What is wrong with you?

- Say I'm not here. - I'm not gonna lie for you.

Okay, fine, don't lie.

Shana, you just missed him.

Are you sure you heard your teacher correctly?

I heard her,

my friend Sara heard her, the whole class heard her.

All the time I've been in school, I never had a teacher call me--

Stupid?

Well, maybe Ms. Riddle won't ever call you that again.

Maybe she'll--

Every time I get something wrong, she calls me stupid.

Every time.

Wow.

I want my old teacher back. She liked me.

She didn't think I was stupid.

- You have to tell Mom. - No way.

If Mom found out, she'd go to the school and yell at my teacher.

Then Ms. Riddle would hate me even more.

Promise you won't say anything.

Okay, I promise.

- What? - Don't just sit there, do something.

What am I suppose to do?

Teach me how not to let words hurt me.

You wanted to see me?

Yeah, I wanted to ask you about Bobby Carver.

Lucy told me he was shouting stuff in church today.

Yeah. Do you know him?

Well, I know of him. He's new at school.

- He's not very popular. - Why's that?

Everyone thinks he's weird.

Because of his outbursts, like the one in church today?

The jocks really make fun of him.

Especially Brian, the captain of the football team.

Calls him the Spazman.

Well, I don't call him that.

Do you remember when I told you,

"All that's necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing"?

Yes.

[SIGHS]

Let me guess.

I'm the good man doing nothing.

Good and smart too.

[SIGHS]

[SIGHS]

[GIGGLES]

I'd appreciate it if you didn't spy on me.

I wasn't spying. I was entering. Entering my room.

Now, since we actually do share a room,

I think I'm gonna have to know

why you were checking out your own butt in the mirror.

This has something to do with Simon, doesn't it?

[SIGHS]

When we were playing basketball last night, Simon tried to block me

and I fell on him and he called me Big Butt.

Come on. What's the big deal?

Well, apparently, my butt.

[SCOFFS]

Why do you even care about something Simon said?

You think I have a big butt, don't you?

[SCOFFS]

- Oh, no. - What?

Do you think that's why Robbie hasn't called me?

- My butt? - I'm not getting sucked into this.

Then leave. Because me and my big butt would like to be alone.

I can't. I need advice.

Ruthie told me her teacher called her stupid in front of the whole class.

- Whoa. You have to tell Mom. - Ruthie made me promise not to.

From one older sister to another,

when you're in over your head, you need to call for help.

You're in over your head.

You know, Ruthie's thing is practically the same thing

as Simon telling you you have a big butt.

If I have to tell Mom about Ruthie, why don't you tell Mom about Simon?

Because, one, being told you have a big butt

is not as bad as being told you're stupid.

- And two? - Oh.

Because what a teacher says can be more important

than what a brother says.

[LINE RINGING]

[SIGHS]

[PHONE RINGING]

MATT [ON MACHINE]: This is Matt-- JOHN [ON MACHINE]: And John.

MATT: Leave us a message at the beep.

[MACHINE BEEPS]

SHANA [OVER MACHINE]: Matt, pick up.

I know it was you who just called. We have call return.

Come on, I don't have all night.

Let's talk about why you won't talk to me.

And why you're mad at me. I know you are.

You haven't returned a call in three days.

Come on, talk to me.

Fine, but I'm not guaranteeing when you're ready to talk,

I'll be ready to listen.

- Do you have a second? - Sure.

- What's wrong? - Well, it's about Ruthie.

Her teacher...

[DOOR SLAMS]

You better tell me what's going on.

Ruthie's new teacher has been calling her stupid.

She asked me not to say anything, but--

- She called her what? - Stupid.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Louis. Uh, please, come in.

I'm sorry to come by unannounced. I, uh...

I just had to find out if that boy in church today was okay.

- You mean Bobby Carver? - Mm-hm.

- The boy with Tourette's? - Tourette's?

- As in Tourette's syndrome? - Right.

His mother says he has ADD.

- The boy who spoke out in church? - Yeah.

Well, he may have ADD, but he's also got Tourette's.

- I'd bet my life on it. - What makes you so sure?

Because I have Tourette's.

Will you come to school with me for show-and-tell?

- Really? - We're studying the Revolutionary War

and we're starting with the rats.

- Rats? - Yeah, like Benedict Arnold.

I think I can get extra-credit points if I bring in a real live rat to school.

- Am I the rat? - If the tail fits...

[GROWLS]

Telling Mom was the right thing to do. The only thing to do.

And when you're a big sister, you'll understand.

I am a big sister.

And if Sam and David ever told me a secret,

I would never sell them out.

That's easy for you to say. Sam and David can't tell you anything.

- They can't even talk. - Rat.

[SIGHS]

I'm meeting with Bobby's parents today at the church.

Do you think Louis Shea is right about Bobby having Tourette's?

Well, uh, I did a little research last night.

And Tourette's is often misdiagnosed as ADD.

From what I read, Bobby's verbal tic--

Repeating words like he did in church. --that's Tourette's, not ADD.

And you can have ADD and Tourette's,

but they're two totally different medical problems,

and Bobby may be misdiagnosed and incorrectly medicated,

which is making his already hard life even harder.

So did you, uh, manage to set up a meeting with Ruthie's teacher?

This afternoon. Mrs. Poole's gonna watch the twins.

I just-- I can't believe that a teacher would call a child stupid.

I think there must be some misunderstanding.

[LAUGHS]

Heh. Okay, that ensemble doesn't work on any level.

[GIRLS GIGGLE]

[ALL GIGGLE]

I don't know what's bigger, her head or her...

[ALL LAUGH]

- What's wrong with you? - Nothing.

She's probably just wearing that big ugly farmer shirt

to cover up all the weight she didn't lose last summer.

Or the summer before that, or the summer before that.

Run away, farmer girl, run away. Ha-ha-ha!

[BELL RINGS]

BRIAN: Hey, look, it's Spazman.

Hey, Spazman.

ERIC: "All that's necessary for evil to triumph

is for good men to do nothing."

Hey, Spazman.

[BELL RINGS]

Beat it, Camden. This ain't none of your business.

I believe it's, "This isn't any of my business."

And I'm making it my business. Leave him alone.

Is everything okay here?

You should all get to class, now.

No one's ever stood up for me before.

- Thanks. - You're welcome.

Just sorry I didn't do it sooner.

Hey, this is a surprise.

Just stopped by to say hello.

Okay, I came by to talk about Shana.

Well, your Mom told me you've been avoiding Shana's phone calls.

Last week, Shana said something that hurt my feelings.

You know, she apologised,

but the comment made me look at our relationship, really look at it.

I'm just not happy with the long-distance thing.

I'm sick of feeling lonely and upset and bored and depressed.

I think I'm starting to resent her for leaving.

That does sound pretty serious.

Are you telling me that you want to--?

Maybe I just needed to talk to somebody

who wasn't 3,000 miles away. Thanks, Dad.

Well, if you need to talk to some more, uh--

[KNOCKS ON DOOR]

- Um, Annie Camden? - Uh, sorry, the sitter was late.

Where are the kids?

- Recess. - Oh, I see. Um...

On the phone, you said it was important,

and the children will be back soon.

I think there's probably been a misunderstanding with Ruthie.

Uh, she told her sister that

you asked her to name the first president of the United States

and when she said Thomas Jefferson, that you said she was stupid.

[CHUCKLES]

That's not what I said.

I told Ruthie that her answer was stupid.

There's a difference.

She's 8. She doesn't know the difference.

I think I know where this is coming from.

Everyone wants to believe their child is perfect,

but the truth is, the apple usually doesn't fall far from the tree.

- Did you just call me stupid? - No, that's not what I said.

Look, nothing justifies calling a child stupid. Nothing.

You have your opinion and I have mine.

Yes, but your opinion is wrong.

I think I'm gonna have to ask you to leave now.

I'm not going anywhere.

Please don't make me call the principal.

Go ahead, make my day. Call the principal. Go ahead.

[SIGHS]

Reverend Camden.

Oh, Bill, Sheila. Please, uh, come in.

Sit down.

Look, if this is about Bobby's outburst in church,

you should know that we're not going to bring him with us

on Sunday anymore.

Oh, no, Bobby's welcome in church. You all are.

Then, uh, why are we here?

Well, I wanted to talk about Bobby's ADD.

Who said Bobby had ADD?

Well, Sheila mentioned it.

I know this might sound a little funny coming from me

because I just met you and I'm not a doctor,

but Louis Shea, who is a parishioner of mine,

was in church on Sunday

and he thinks that Bobby might have Tourette's.

So you've been talking to other people about us?

About my son?

Well, actually, Louis approached me.

And the reason he thinks Bobby might have Tourette's is because he has it,

has had it for years.

Do you know what Tourette's syndrome is?

Have you ever considered that Bobby might have Tourette's too?

I think I've heard enough. Let's go.

- Bill. - Look, no disrespect,

but if the doctors haven't been able to help my son in the last nine years,

what makes you think you can do anything?

Excuse me.

[DOOR CLOSES]

- Hey. Wanna ride home with me? - Uh...

You know, if, uh, you start hanging out with me,

people are gonna start making fun of you too.

I don't care what other people say.

Cool.

Hey, Camden.

You didn't think I was gonna let you off that easy, did you?

Tomorrow, before school,

when there are no teachers around to save you,

I'm gonna wipe the grin right off your face, permanently.

You too, Spaz.

Hi.

I think we have Biology together.

- What are you doing? - I'm talking to you.

Right. Are you supposed to distract me

so your friends can do something behind my back

and then you can all laugh at me some more?

Look, I don't laugh at you.

You hang around with Laurel and those velociraptors she calls friends,

- don't you? - Sometimes.

Look, I am just trying--

Do you have any idea how much you and your friends hurt my feelings?

Do you think I'm deaf?

Sometimes I wish I was because then I wouldn't hear every little whisper

and nasty comment that comes my way.

It's not fair to lump me in with Laurel.

I have never said anything bad about you.

Yeah. You just stand by and let it happen.

Which, for your information, is worse.

Knowing something is wrong and doing nothing to stop it

is worse than just doing the something that's wrong.

[SIGHS]

Wow.

You do know that's the highest level you can get to on Spyro.

Do you have a PlayStation?

My parents don't believe in video games,

but I know all about them from my friends.

Man, I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have video games.

It's the only thing I'm really good at.

- Well, you do sound like-- - Sound like-- Sound like-- Sound like--

- I'm sorry, I just-- - I just-- I just-- I just-- I just--

- I didn't mean to-- - Mean to-- Mean to-- Mean to--

It's okay you looked away.

I'm sorry.

No, really, if no one stares at me, it goes away faster.

Go ahead, I know you wanna ask me.

What makes you do what you just did?

The doctors told my parents I have, uh, attention deficit something.

- What's that? - I'm not sure.

My parents-- Actually, my dad doesn't really like to talk about it.

- I shouldn't have asked. - No.

My dad doesn't like to talk about it. I don't mind.

Look, um, don't take this the wrong way,

but, uh, why are you being so nice to me?

I'm not being that nice.

Trust me, you're the nicest person I've ever met.

Hey, how did your meeting with Ruthie's teacher go?

That bad, huh?

There was no misunderstanding.

- Ruthie's teacher did call her stupid. - What?

And I had no luck convincing Ms. Riddle

that what she did was wrong.

- Unbelievable. - I know.

Humph. She called me stupid too.

Hmm. How was your day?

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Well, nobody called me stupid.

[SIGHS]

Sheila, come on in.

Bill and I had a fight.

He doesn't know I'm here.

I got your home address from the church.

Please help me.

Help me and help my son and my family.

I just can't stand to see Bobby suffer anymore.

When Bobby was younger,

he had all the classic symptoms of ADD, but no tics.

As Bobby got older, his ADD symptoms have subsided,

but he's developed verbal and motor tics.

Speaking out like he did in church, uh, shoulder shrugging, eye blinking.

That's not ADD.

Have you told your doctor about Bobby's verbal tics?

Every time I bring Bobby in to see the doctor, he never has the tics.

Uh, yeah. From what I've read about Tourette's, it's quite common

for kids not to exhibit any symptoms when they go to the doctor's.

Unfortunately, they can't call up their tics on demand.

It's quite frustrating when you know something is wrong with your child

and no one believes you.

We believe you.

Do you know, I overheard a woman at a party ask a friend of mine

if I did drugs while I was pregnant with Bobby.

My parents are no better. All they say is,

"Bobby certainly didn't get his problems from our side of the family."

All people wanna do is blame and judge.

And my husband's way of dealing with Bobby

has always been to deny that anything's wrong with him.

If I try to talk to him, he shuts me out.

I have to say, our marriage isn't exactly rolling along.

What can we do?

- There must be something. - Yeah.

I forced our HMO and Bobby's paediatrician

to make an appointment for him with a paediatric neurologist.

The appointment is tomorrow.

I want Bill to be there for Bobby.

For me, for us.

But I don't think I can get him to go.

Not without a little help.

[LINE RINGS]

MATT [ON MACHINE]: This is Matt-- JOHN [ON MACHINE]: John.

MATT: Leave us a message at the beep.

[MACHINE BEEPS]

Hi, it's just me.

Hey.

You've been hard to get ahold of this week.

It's because I've been dodging your calls.

I know. What's going on?

Matt, talk to me.

I know you're mad. I know I did something.

Just tell me what it is and then we can move on.

Uh...

It's just that, uh...

- Yes? - I think maybe we need a break.

- From what? - Each other.

Just so you know, I'm not like Lucy.

If you ever need to tell me a secret, my lips are sealed.

Once you learn to talk, mum's the word.

Have you done your homework?

What's the use? Haven't you heard I'm stupid?

We need to talk. Come here.

Oh, you're almost getting too heavy to sit on Mommy's lap. Mm.

[SIGHS]

Do you know why I got so mad at your teacher?

- Because she was mean to me? - Yes.

But also because, when Ms. Riddle hurt your feelings

and made you feel like you weren't smart,

then school and learning became a bad thing.

And if that happens often enough,

it won't be long before you don't like school at all.

And that would be wrong,

because learning should always be enjoyable.

And school should always be like this safe zone,

where kids are loved and protected

and able not only to study the stars, but to reach for them as well.

I'm glad you yelled at my teacher. She is mean.

You know, you might consider making up with Lucy.

She loves you so much

and she was only trying to help you the only way she knew how.

I'll think about it.

Maybe if the other kids' moms get mad at Ms. Riddle like you did,

she'll stop calling everyone names.

Other kids' moms?

I'm not the only one she calls stupid.

Really?

Hey, do you know Denise Semple?

- The girl who wears all the flannel? - Yeah. What's her story?

I don't know. Why do you wanna know?

No reason.

[SIGHS]

[SIGHS]

Oh, come on. Tell me what I did.

What did I do? I know you know.

I can't tell you.

- Oh, please? - No way.

I already squealed on one sibling and look what that got me.

[GROWLS]

Okay. I'm gonna give you a clue,

but you have to figure it out on your own.

Mary's mad at you because of something you said

a couple of nights ago while you guys were playing basketball.

Oh!

I have no idea what you're talking about.

What do you want, cash? Because I'll pay you.

Mm-mm.

[SIGHS]

- May I help you? - Do you want to tell me anything?

[MATT SIGHS]

Shana called you, didn't she?

- I hear you're breaking up. - Maybe, I don't know.

No offence, but why is this any of your business?

- Shana's very upset. - So am I.

Why does it always have to be about Shana? What about me?

- Okay, I'll get right to the point. - What point?

The one I wanna make.

A lot of things in your life will be difficult and challenging.

As a matter of fact,

some of the most wonderful things in your life

will be difficult and challenging.

All I'm saying is,

break up with Shana if you don't love or care for her anymore.

But don't break up with her

just because long-distance relationships are hard.

You're tougher than that.

All I came over for was a sandwich.

Every sandwich served in my kitchen comes with a free lecture on the side.

[CHUCKLES]

What's going on?

Hi, you must be Bill. I'm Louis Shea.

This is a support group.

The couples here tonight all have children

with varying degrees of Tourette's.

My son doesn't have Tourette's syndrome.

Please, don't run away.

We have to face this.

It's the only way to help Bobby and help ourselves.

LOUIS: Bill,

dealing with Tourette's is not an easy thing to do.

And I should know. I've had it since I was a kid.

- You have Tourette's? - Mm-hm.

Well, you look so--

So normal? Ha.

That's okay. As I got older, my symptoms and tics lessened.

I still have Tourette's and I still get tics every now and then,

but it's nothing compared to what it was like when I was a kid.

The severity and the frequency of tics do lessen with age.

The majority of kids with Tourette's grow up to lead healthy, happy lives.

They, uh-- They go to school, they go to college,

they have friends, families, careers.

Okay, look. Uh, I don't know you.

But I do know that as hard as it was

for me to be a kid growing up with Tourette's,

I think it was harder still on my parents.

Especially my dad,

who just wanted a son that could play football,

not one that had uncontrollable sniffing and blinking.

Because of what my parents and I went through,

I studied medicine when I grew up

and eventually, I became a neuropsychiatrist

so I could help families and children that suffer from Tourette's.

Your wife didn't think you'd come to a support group meeting,

so we brought the support group to you.

Well, I'm sorry you went to all the trouble.

I don't want your support.

Bill!

Look, you don't understand, okay?

Nobody can understand.

- I'm trying to-- - Please!

Just leave me alone. Please.

I wanna understand. Your wife wants to understand.

Hey, I'm here to help you.

You have to open up to somebody.

You've got a lot of pain and anger.

You can't keep it all inside you. If you do, you'll explode.

When I was growing up, I had a cousin who had Tourette's.

We didn't know it at the time,

but later on, we realised that that's what he had.

He had these horrible facial tics.

I teased him all the time.

I was really just mean.

I tortured him relentlessly.

I'm not quite sure I follow.

I just can't stand to think

that there's some kid out there teasing Bobby like that.

Torturing him,

making his life a nightmare, the way I did to my cousin.

And every time I look at him, it's...

It just reminds me just how badly I've acted in the past.

Look, look, I did the research.

Tourette's is hereditary.

So basically, it's all my fault that Bobby is the way that he is.

You know, ADD, I could deal with.

But this, you know,

I just don't think I can bear it.

You know what I think?

I think you need to forgive yourself for the past

so you can concentrate on the present

and help your son and your wife

and yourself.

I just-- I don't think I can.

- I really don't. - Fine.

Look, I'm really sorry.

I did a bad thing and I'll never do it again.

- Never do what again? - What I did isn't important.

- What is important is that I'm-- - You have no idea what you did.

Exactly.

You called me Big Butt.

The other night when we were playing basketball,

I fell on you and you called me Big Butt.

But I was just kidding. I mean, I say stuff like that all the time.

I know. But you're not a kid anymore,

so I take what you say a little more seriously now.

I'm not a kid?

I mean, I'll watch what I say from now on, okay?

Well, you better because words can really hurt a person.

- I'm not mad at you anymore. - You're not?

You're still a rat, but a good rat.

What made you change your mind?

I figured someday I'd have to squeal on Sam and David.

And I'd want them to forgive me, so you're off the hook.

- What? - Mom's been on the phone

- all morning. - Doing what?

Calling other parents.

Your teacher's in big trouble, isn't she?

Oh, yeah.

[LAUGHS]

[PHONE RINGS]

Hello?

I was going to get on a plane and fly back to Glenoak today.

- What? - Let me finish.

- Okay. - I was going to get on a plane

and fly to Glenoak today.

But then I realised that I couldn't afford the ticket.

Then I thought I would take the train, but that would take too long.

Then I thought I would take the bus, but that would take forever.

So I said to myself, "Just drive your car."

But then I remembered that I sold my car when I moved to New York.

And what are you coming back to Glenoak for?

To apologise to you in person.

Apologise?

Yeah. For taking you and our relationship for granted.

I've been so busy with school and work and making friends that I forgot.

You're stuck in Glenoak, alone, missing me.

It's not fair and I haven't been either.

Apology accepted?

Yes.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Uh, I have to go.

- Call me later? - Sure.

- I love you. - I'll talk to you later.

- Hey, you. - Talking to Shana?

Did you tell her hello and thanks?

- Thanks for what? - For letting me hang out with you.

Oh, that. Um, I'll tell her next time.

We should get going.

Okay, Camden. The principal's not gonna save you today.

I just saw her inside, yelling at a bunch of kids.

What, are you chickening out?

No. I was just thinking maybe there's a better way to settle this.

What's better than fighting?

How about a duel? A video-game duel.

Bobby brought his Game Boy. Maybe you two can play each other.

If you win, you still get to beat me up.

But if Bobby wins, you have to leave him alone, for good.

Of course, if you're not very good at video games,

we can still just pummel each other.

No, let's play for it.

[GAME BOY BLEEPING]

You first, Spazman.

Oh, and after Bobby whups your butt on the Game Boy,

you have to stop calling him Spazman too.

Remember, you're gonna be quizzed on these tomorrow. Pass them back.

Take one--

Mrs. Camden, what's going on?

I found a few other people who agree with me

and aren't wild about having their sons and daughters called stupid.

That's my mom.

Denise, hey, look.

I can't make up for all the pain that my friends have caused you,

and you may not think an apology from me means anything,

but I am sorry. And I'm sorry for what they've said

and I'm sorry for not doing anything about it.

Thanks.

So do you wanna go to the Millers' party with me this weekend?

- It's supposed to be a huge blowout. - Me?

You wanna go with me?

Yeah. I was to go with my boyfriend, but I haven't heard from him.

I do not wanna miss this party.

- I wasn't invited. - I just invited you.

Why should I trust that this isn't a trick?

Because I would never do anything like that. I'm not Laurel.

No, you're not.

Denise does not have to leave.

- Are you sure about that? - Yes, I am.

Fine. If you wanna hang out with farmers, go ahead.

You know, Denise isn't a farmer, and you are--

Well, you know what you are.

Oh.

And what makes you think that she doesn't badmouth you

when you're not around?

- What's Mary talking about? - Do you say stuff behind our backs?

[BOTH SCOFF]

[PHONE RINGS]

WOMAN: Doctor's office.

I can't believe you came.

Well, I can't believe it either.

I had a real good day in school, Dad.

That's terrific.

After we see the doctor, we'll all go out to dinner and you can tell me about it.

Awesome.

Thanks for being here.

It means a lot to me and to Bobby.

I know I haven't been there for you in the past.

- Later, I'd like to tell you why. SHEILA: Okay.

Let's make today a fresh start for all of us.

I think we all deserve that.

All right.

Did you drive here?

Uh, no. A friend gave me a lift.

A friend?
