Wonderful service.

Thanks.

You're so articulate.

May I ask what the topic

of the Wednesday morning service will be?

Mrs. Hollister, if I tell you ahead of time,

there won't be any point in your coming.

Don't have a clue, huh?

I'll be there anyway.

Whatever you come up with will be great,

and I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Thanks.

Hey, glad you could be here.

I'd like to talk to you about

that Wednesday service too, when you have a minute?

Yeah, give me two and I'll be right with you.

Hi, Phil.

One more week and I'll be back

to working out with the team again.

Coach Koper is the greatest.

The greatest what?

Jerk, creep, nightmare?

I mean, come on, give me a hint.

Just 'cause you're dying in Koper's English class,

doesn't mean there's something wrong with him.

Maybe if you set a few goals for yourself and worked

a little harder, you could make better grades.

Did you think of that yourself

or is that something Koper taught you?

The guy's making us read James Joyce's

Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

over the weekend and then giving us two days

to write a paper on the symbolism of the colors he uses.

Well, if you ask me,

you're just afraid of a little hard work.

Read the book, write the paper, end of story.

I'll be in the car.

Don't look at me.

I'm just as sick of it as you are.

Maybe when she's back on the team

she'll stop talking about Koper, Koper, Koper.

I think she's got a little crush

on Koper, Koper, Koper.

Excuse me.

Mom, I'm sorry, excuse me.

I'll talk to you later.

What is it, honey?

Can we please get out of here?

You promised.

What did I promise?

You know...

I told you to leave that in the car.

And by the way, how did you do that?

These are the pants with the hole in the pocket.

The ones you said that you'd fix

two weeks ago.

Are you implying

that I am somehow responsible for your disobeying

my specific instructions to leave the golf club in the car?

No, no.

That would be foolish.

I'm no fool.

Sometimes you are.

No, I'm not.

The experts say that you should carry your club with you

wherever you go.

Well, then you and your club should go sit in the car.

I bet you Tiger Woods' mom didn't make him sit in the car.

I'll think about it, okay?

I'm not cutting the Wednesday service, no.

You've got to consider the cost.

Paying the organist, heating the chapel.

Last Wednesday there were only

three people there,

and there wasn't a dime in the collection plate.

Because I quit passing the plate.

Which is why we still have two or three people coming.

There's an intimacy to the Wednesday service, Lou.

It's, it makes it unique.

Those two or three parishioners, they count on me in a way

that can't be measured in dollars and cents.

Hi.

I was just trying to explain to your husband here

that we can no longer justify the Wednesday service.

Maybe we should have Annie take a look

at the books again, see if we can do

a little creative financing. Uh, Eric, well, Lou is

the acting church treasurer.

Just the same,

I'd like you to look at the books. You don't have a problem

with that, do you Lou?

You mean do I have a problem

with your thinking you know more

about the church finances than I do?

Yes, I do.

I... was going to get a new window, anyway.

My old one was dirty.

Lou, I'm sorry.

We'll take care of it, whatever it is.

Lou, I'm sorry,

but I want to see the books.

Just let me do my job.

I believe it's my job to see that you do your job.

The books?

Well, fine.

You and Annie can look at the numbers all you want,

but I promise you there is no money there

for the Wednesday service.

And I'd like to see that for myself.

Fine.

No, I got it

all under control.

You didn't put the pasta in.

You're just stirring boiling water.

Whoa.

There's $2,500 missing.

Maybe Lou just forgot to make an entry.

Or maybe he's a couple of days behind with the books.

It happens.

But the money's unaccounted for?

I'm sure there's a perfectly logical explanation.

Well, I'd really like

to know what it is,

because Lou's too good with money

to forget to make an entry or let the books go

even for a couple of days.

Don't jump to any conclusions.

I mean, we've known Lou for a long time,

and even though you guys never agreed

on how the church should spend its money,

I mean, still, he's a good and honest man.

I'm sure you're right.

I want you to be right.

But I think I'll just call our good and honest treasurer,

just the same.

Hello.

Alice, it's Eric. Can I speak with Lou?

He's not available right now.

Okay, when will he be available?

I couldn't really say.

I'll have him call you back, Reverend.

Good-bye.

What? She kind of hung up on me.

They're obviously in cahoots.

Oh, yeah, Bonnie and Clyde.

I'm sure there's...

a perfectly logical

explanation.

Whatever it is, can we talk about it later?

I don't want to talk.

I'm just looking for a place to study.

Why can't you study in your own room?

Because she's in my room living her basketball triumphs.

I mean, I'm really happy that Mary's doing so great,

but the closer she gets to being back on the basketball team,

the more she can't stop talking about Coach Koper.

Did you know he was raised by his grandparents?

I just assumed he was raised by wolves.

I'm going to crash and burn in his class

and end up graduating in summer school.

At least you won't have to be around his pod girl, Mary.

Hey, what do you think the colors yellow and gray mean?

Depression, confusion.

Really?

I don't know, I'm just going on instinct.

Oh, good instincts. Thanks. You may have saved my life.

Hmm.

I could bring my dinner

up here, too.

We could eat al fresco.

This isn't al fresco.

What is al fresco?

I don't know, but this isn't it.

I'm being punished.

This isn't a tea party.

It could be if you were a little more open.

I thought you weren't supposed to play golf

until Mom says you can.

Yeah, I know.

Mom never said I couldn't play imaginary golf.

Don't say it.

Don't even think it.

I'm no fool.

I'm not going to get in trouble.

I'm not even going to play.

I'm just going to, you know,

move the club from the bed over here to the closet,

tidying up a bit.

Oh, this is tempting.

This is really tempting.

Thanks, I needed that.

Can I help get dinner on the table?

Sure.

Ooh, pasta, cool.

Coach Koper says carbohydrates are great,

and I have this huge workout tomorrow.

He's going to do some tests to measure my progress,

some cardio stuff and weights,

just to see if the knee holds up.

I haven't seen you in such a good mood for a long time.

I'm happy for you.

Thanks.

I just feel great about myself,

and Coach Koper says I have a great natural healing ability.

He says he's never seen anyone

come back from this type of injury so fast.

And Diane says it took her twice as long

to get back from the same surgery.

So you know Coach Koper's got to be great.

Got to be.

I just hope he's not pushing you too hard.

Mom, you've got to push the limits.

I mean, nothing happens if you don't push the limits.

And I don't think that I can be pushed too hard.

I never knew what my own capacity was.

I'm very proud of you.

You've worked very hard,

and it's been tough for you.

Why do you think that you get along so great with Koper

and Matt just can't seem

to catch a break from him?

Because Matt's great at English,

and he's always been able to coast through English class.

He's never had to try before.

Now that he does, he resents it.

That doesn't sound right to me.

Think of it another way.

Why do you think Matt hates Koper so much?

I don't know.

Sounds like he's a tough teacher

but a great coach.

It's just that I've been listening to you and Matt

since school started,

and it's like you're talking about two different people.

Hello.

Lou, it's Eric.

I left you a message earlier.

Uh, yeah, my wife told me you called.

I just got in.

I'd like you to come by the house later tonight,

if you don't mind.

Tonight is not very good for me.

I have some family business I have to take care of.

Okay, I understand.

We're going to have to talk, Lou.

I know.

Uh, tomorrow would be better for me.

Okay, tomorrow it is. I'll meet you at the church.

First thing in the morning, around 9:00?

I can't be at the church at 9:00.

I have to go to work.

All right, I'll be in the office all day.

What time can you be there?

I'll be there as soon as I can.

I'll try and take an early lunch.

Hey, Lou, you want to just tell me what's going on now?

It'd save us both a lot of time.

I'll explain it tomorrow.

Dinner's ready.

Oh, all right.

Just a hunch; talking to Lou?

And?

I don't know what's up.

But I don't think

there is a perfectly logical explanation.

I've got a bad feeling about this.

It's Koper time.

So, how was your weekend?

I think that was a rhetorical question.

Something you'd like to share with the class, Mr. Camden?

Perhaps the weekend in review?

Uh, no, sir, he was just talking to me.

Did you finish your reading assignment?

Yes, sir, I finished reading the entire book.

Really?

So I guess you must be well on your way

to writing that paper that's due tomorrow?

Yeah, actually, I am.

Well, congratulations. I'm very impressed.

I hope everyone else

is just as far along.

So, Mr. Camden,

tell us about James Joyce's use of color

and imagery.

I'd really rather just write it down, sir.

And what about what I would rather do, Mr. Camden?

Oh.

Sorry, I got a late lunch.

I've been trying to reach you all day.

Have a seat.

So, you must know what it is I want to talk to you about.

I have a pretty good idea.

I'm hoping there's a good explanation

for why $2,500 of the church's money is missing.

Is that what you're really hoping, Reverend?

'Cause I think what you're really hoping is that I don't have

a very good explanation at all, and you can just let me go.

Lou, you're wrong.

You and I don't always agree,

but you've been a member of this church longer than I have.

I respect your opinion,

I do.

There's a lot of money missing, and I need to know

where it is.

It's gone.

Come on, Lou, help me out.

I took it.

I need more than that.

If you can just...

trust me for a couple of days.

I'll try and get it back to you.

So this wasn't a clerical error.

You took the money?

You took $2,500 from the church. Okay.

I'll get the money back to you.

You have my word.

Lou. Hey...

Hey. How was your day?

How was my day?

Yeah, how was your day?

Usually you say, "Hurry up and get to the car!"

What's going on? Am I dying?

No, but your instincts

about James Joyce's use of color

were pretty much dead on. Koper made me stand up

in front of the whole class and tell them

what my paper was about, so I did.

I totally took him by surprise.

I made him look like a complete jerk.

So since this was the best day of school so far

of my entire life,

I just thought I'd ask how your day was.

Oh, how nice.

After homeroom, some guy pushed my head into the water fountain,

so my shirt was wet most of the day,

and at lunch, no one saved me a spot

so I had to eat with seven students

who all knew each other, but didn't know me,

and in math,

I had to do a problem on the board

and I wasn't even close.

Pretty much the usual, huh?

Yep, pretty much.

Hey, listen, do me a favor.

Run down to the gym

and see if Mary can catch a ride home

with someone after practice.

I don't want to have to come back and get her.

I want to spend every moment

working on this paper.

I'm going to ace this one.

I'll meet you at the car. Great.

Hey.

That killed me.

No, it didn't.

Look, you just broke your mile record.

You're kidding! No!

You're doing great, kid.

Oh...

That's great.

Uh, excuse me.

Sorry. Uh, Matt was wondering

if you can find a ride home after practice?

Sure, no problem.

Uh, great. Thanks.

Sorry.

All right, you're doing awesome.

Come on. Let's get back to it, all right?

Did you talk to Lou?

Yep.

It was a very strange conversation.

Lou says he'll get the money back.

He took it, but for what? Yeah.

And does it really matter?

Because, you know, technically it's theft.

I just can't understand it.

He's got a job, he's got a good job.

He's a financial officer for an investment firm.

Do you think maybe he lost his job?

You know, I thought of that,

but I-I called his office,

and they gave every indication

that he's still employed.

Could he have a gambling problem

or a drug problem?

Whatever it is, it must be serious.

Dinner's almost ready.

Ah-ah-ah!

We're going to be eating soon.

How's my girl?

Anything interesting happen today at school?

No, I didn't get any time-outs,

if that's what you mean,

and I didn't bring any home any notes.

What makes you think I was trying to find out

if you got into trouble at school?

Because you have that look on your face.

It's creeping me out.

Oh. That has nothing to do with you.

With me?

No.

Mom, is there anything

I can do to help with dinner...

uh, since I'm not allowed to go outside

and, you know, chip some balls or putt, or...

anything, am I?

No, there's nothing you can do

to help with dinner, but you can help with the dishes afterwards.

So, I guess you don't have an answer about,

you know what?

Fool, fool, fool.

If by "you know what," you mean golf,

I thought I made myself perfectly clear.

No golf until further notice.

And you have no further notice.

So, Lou?

I called the bank and told them to freeze the account.

I said that a book of checks

from the church was missing

and that I probably just misplaced it,

and I wanted to make sure that nobody wrote any checks

against the account or made any withdrawals.

So now he's got me lying to the bank.

I don't like this.

What are you going to do?

What would you do?

I'd find out what's going on with Lou.

He's not a criminal.

No, he's just an acting treasurer

who took the church's money and hoped that he

could put it back before anybody noticed.

So, I guess your workout with Koper went pretty well, huh?

Oh, it was better than that, it was great.

I'm back a thousand percent.

So you like this guy, Koper?

What do you mean by like?

I was just wondering

if maybe you have a little bit

of a crush on Coach Koper, that's all.

I mean, he is good looking.

No, he's not.

He's practically Dad's age.

What's going on?

Nothing.

No, it was about something.

You were weird the whole ride home from school.

Well, I probably shouldn't say anything,

but when I went to tell Mary to get a ride home,

I saw Coach Koper hug her.

Hug?

Hug how? What kind of hug?

A hug-hug, I guess.

I don't know, I just got a bad

feeling about it.

Why? I don't know.

It's just a feeling. I can't explain it.

All right, don't say anything to Mom and Dad, promise?

What are you going to do?

Promise?

Okay, promise.

Be sure to pack an extra sandwich.

You're welcome.

Thank you.

So, um, who's the extra sandwich for?

Me.

Hey, I'm training,

I'm hungry, all right?

You know, something weird's

falling out of that piñata brain of yours.

No, there isn't.

Ready to go?

It's a little early.

Why are you in such a hurry?

What, is there some crime in getting to school early?

Grab your things, girls.

I'll take Simon and Ruthie.

Thanks.

Did you hear something?

No, forget it.

Car, now.

I can't believe this.

How did this happen?

It happened when you picked up

the golf club to practice your grip

and you hit the ball instead.

Sorry, I broke the window.

But I did keep my head down.

I am absolutely amazed that either of you

would pick up a golf club

after what happened at church the other day,

and despite everything that I said!

Yeah, I'm amazed, too.

I mean, I heard of the addiction to the game,

but until I experienced it myself, I...

No golf for two weeks.

Four weeks.

Me?

Both of you. Right?

Right.

Look, I know we did a terrible,

terrible thing here,

but we don't need punishment.

We need help.

Lots of help.

We'll talk about this later.

I'm driving you to school. Let's go.

He almost got me with the addiction thing.

It's not funny.

No, it's not. And he's not, he's bad.

They're both bad, bad, children.

They broke a window.

I know, but I like them.

I'll be back in a few minutes.

Uh...

I, uh, forgot my homework.

I'm coming.

Hey, Lou.

Come in.

It's all there, minus the cost

of replacing the window in my car.

The bill is inside the envelope.

Thanks.

I'm going to make it easy on you

and resign as treasurer.

In fact, I'm resigning from the church.

I won't be coming back.

I'm not going to let you do that without knowing why.

Please, come on, talk to me.

Please tell me what's going on.

I would be extremely grateful

if you did not press charges and make this a criminal case.

I am very sorry.

I have returned the money.

I hope you will let it go at that.

I have to go to work.

Can I see you for a second?

Sure.

So do you hug her, too?

Excuse me?

Or is my sister the only one you hug?

That sounds like an accusation, Mr. Camden.

Yeah, it is an accusation, followed by a threat.

You know, I don't care what happens to me,

but I do care what happens to Mary.

You better keep your hands off my sister.

I haven't had my hands on your sister

in any way that would be inappropriate for a coach

and a basketball player.

Someone saw you.

That's a very serious charge, and I'm not

going to have this kind of discussion

in an empty classroom with a student.

Principal's office, right now.

Lou?

Yeah, he gave the money back,

but now he's leaving the church.

I just saw his wife, Alice, at the market.

Something strange about her being at the market?

Yes, there was.

She was arm in arm with another man.

It wasn't Lou, and I didn't know who he was.

If she were seeing another man, she wouldn't walk around

in broad daylight with him, would she?

No... I don't know.

I can't quite put my finger on it,

but there's just something odd about it.

I think you should pay Lou and Alice a visit.

I'll go over there tonight.

Hi, Mary, come on in.

What's going on?

Please, have a seat.

Matt is under the impression

that Mr. Koper

may have had some contact with you

in some way that was inappropriate.

What?!

Where would he get an idea like that?

Hi, Lucy.

Have a seat.

And you can relax,

you're not in any trouble.

We just have a little matter

we need your help to straighten out.

Okay.

I understand that you

saw something that gave you the impression

that things were not quite right

between Coach Koper and your sister.

I saw them hugging.

He hugged me when I finished breaking my mile record.

It was nothing.

I thought it was. Sorry.

Why did you think

that it wasn't just a hug?

I don't know.

Something just didn't seem right.

I got a bad feeling about it.

But I'm sorry.

That's just the way I felt.

I must have been wrong.

I was wrong, I mean,

obviously.

Oh, man.

I'll let you get back to your classes.

You and Matt

should get hall passes from my secretary.

I don't believe you did this.

Or you.

Are you sure you were wrong, Lucy?

Of course I'm wrong.

I'm always wrong.

But how was I supposed to know about the mile record thing?

I'm going to have to talk to one of your parents.

At least you know the number.

I could do that for you.

I'm good with scissors.

Right, but it's my homework and I need to cut out pictures

of things that start with the letter "G."

You're in luck.

I have here a golf magazine,

golf shoes, golf balls,

golf everything.

"Ball" starts with a "B" and "shoes" start with a "C."

No, "shoes" start with an "S."

But these are golf balls and golf shoes

so they both start with "G."

Stop helping, you're just confusing me.

I can't help it.

I just feel so guilty that you lied about the broken window.

Hey, "guilty" starts with "G."

Maybe you should just cut up a picture of me.

No, thanks.

Come on, you got to let me do something.

That's okay.

No, it's not okay.

I owe you. You're being punished because of me.

No big deal.

It is a big deal.

The balance of power has shifted, and that's not good.

Just name anything I could do for you.

I'll make your bed, I'll put the heads back on your dolls.

Name it.

I don't want anything, really.

What else am I supposed to do?

I've done everything I can do!

And some things I shouldn't!

You know what that church means to me?

I know.

I'm sorry.

Hi, Lou.

Eric.

Annie... uh...

I'm sorry, this is not a good time.

This is the Reverend Camden...

Hi.

And his wife, Mrs. Camden.

I'd like you to meet my son...

Louis.

It's Junior. It's Louis Jr.

That's right.

Why didn't you tell anyone you have a son?

What would I tell them?

I have a son but I put him in a state hospital?

Louis has a routine...

It helps him get through every day.

But if he deviates from that, even the slightest,

he becomes totally disoriented and hysterical.

People don't understand that.

I understand.

Louis is autistic.

We just had no idea what you and Alice

were going through. I'm sorry.

I don't want your pity.

You don't have my pity,

you have my empathy and my support.

Thank you, but I don't deserve either one.

Lou, we've known each other for almost 20 years.

No, we've been to church together for almost 20 years.

Nobody knows me or Alice or what we've been through.

We were totally unprepared for a kid like Louis.

And the older he got,

the more evident it became that we were totally inadequate.

We didn't know how to keep him safe,

let alone how to teach him to maximize his potential

as a human being.

We put him

in a state home when he was only seven years old.

And we felt horrible about it.

But Louis loved it.

He did great.

This is my mom.

It's okay, honey, I know

the Reverend and his wife.

I suppose you've told them everything.

Not quite.

I need to get back to my room.

They closed the place where Louis was living.

He misses it.

I need my room.

Maybe we can help you get another room, Louis.

Son, look at me.

Look at my face. Look at me.

Would you mind waiting in the kitchen for just a few minutes?

Okay.

Thank you.

Okay, bye.

Bye.

Bye, Louis. It was nice meeting you.

Very nice meeting you.

I'll look forward to seeing you again.

It's been about a year now since the state

cut the funds where Louis was living.

We put him in a private facility and he did just fine,

but we went right through our savings,

and about a month ago we had to take him out.

I had to get him into another care facility,

but they wanted a deposit to put him on a waiting list.

A large deposit.

$2,500?

I cashed in my life insurance policy,

but it takes four to six weeks to get the check.

In the meantime Louis had some bad days

and I panicked.

I was going to put the money back as soon as the check came.

It's no excuse,

taking money from the church.

So I withdrew the deposit.

I am so sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

Louis isn't doing well here at home.

He's been increasingly frantic, and his doctor

prescribed something new to calm him down.

But I can't... no, I won't... Make him spend

the rest of his life on medication.

I asked Lou to take the money.

We were desperate.

Lou, don't you think I would have

given you the money or raised the money

if I'd known about your son?

I didn't want to tell you 'cause I didn't know

how you'd feel about it, about us.

We know what's best for Louis.

Sure.

But you can't say our son is in a home,

without somebody thinking

that you've done something horrible to your child.

It's not at all how we feel, okay?

I'm going to help you find him a place to live.

I'm sure it's just a matter of...

making the right contacts.

Let's say a prayer and give it a shot.

Thank you.

You let me know if there's absolutely anything

I can do, okay?

I will. Okay.

Thanks for

dropping by.

I'll call you tomorrow.

Um, can we talk?

I have to tell you something.

I won't even say it.

I'm not being a fool.

I'm being honest.

The thing is,

it wasn't Ruthie who broke the bedroom window, it was me.

Ruthie just took the blame for it

so I wouldn't get in any more trouble

than I was already in.

You just couldn't live

with the guilt, could you?

No, we were living a lie.

It wasn't good for either of us.

That was so sweet

that you would do that

for your brother,

but I kind of knew something

wasn't right.

I was just waiting for one of you to crack.

So, since he cracked, do I still have to be punished?

You're still being punished,

only now, it's for not being truthful.

Whatever.

I'll get your books.

It's time for school.

Truth always has a way of coming out.

Yeah, whenever the guilty spills their guts.

You're wearing sweats to school?

Oh, well, since Coach Koper didn't feel

like working out with me yesterday after school,

I'm going to work out today during my study hall.

I just need you to sign this note.

I said I was sorry.

How many times do I have to say it?

Why can't you wait until after school

to work out with everyone else?

I was about to ask the same question.

Well, I'd just be missing study hall,

and I didn't get to work out yesterday.

I'd rather you not miss study hall. Sorry.

Missing one workout won't kill you.

Good morning.

Good morning, Reverend.

I'm afraid I'm it this morning.

Oh.

Miss Lacy has the flu.

Oh.

But she asked that we say

a silent prayer for her.

Silent?

She doesn't want you

to announce she's sick.

She said that'd just make her feel worse.

Okay.

We ran into each other in the parking lot.

Well, I'm glad to see all of you.

Have you heard attendance at the Wednesday morning service

has gone up about 400%?

We were just telling Annie, we spoke

to your friend in social services this morning.

Oh?

She's put Louis on a list for

a private home not too far from us,

and it's new,

and they're just waiting on

the state to clear the license.

We're both going to do volunteer

work there, and in return, they give us a break

on the fees. They're doing that with all

the families. Isn't that nice?

That sounds very nice.

I'll get my room? I need my room.

You'll get your room.

Okay, Dad.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Well, we'd better get started.

Mrs. Hollister has a tendency to doze off if I take

too long.

Eric.

I don't know

how to thank you.

Oh...

I've always been good with money.

I've never been good with emotions.

They're just not that easy for me to handle.

Well, that's why we make a good team.

Because I can deal with emotions,

but I... I'm just lousy with a buck.

Of course, um,

I can always learn to do better.

So can I.

Well,

good morning again.

Thank you all for coming.

So, before

we get to the part

where I do most of the talking, I'd like to begin

with a moment of silent prayer.

Amen.

Amen.

Okay, I'd like to begin

this morning with a reading from...

I have to go.

It may be nothing,

but-but then again, it-it may

be something.

Excuse me.

She's heard my sermon.

Hey.

Oh, hey.

I'm really sorry about yesterday.

Me, too.

Listen, I've been thinking.

I-I think we should just forget the whole rehab thing.

You know, you're progressing okay,

and I'm sure you're going to be able

to get back all the way by yourself.

What?! Why?

Because my sister had a feeling?

She has them all the time,

and they're never right.

She just made a mistake, that's all.

Listen, I have a career,

I have a reputation to think about.

I mean, uh, who knows what kind of feeling

your sister or your brother are going to have next.

I can't risk it.

There is no risk.

Look, my sister is a little emotional.

She just has nothing exciting going on

in her life right now.

So, I guess she decided

to make things a little more exciting, that's all.

Well, that she did.

Come on,

please?

You know,

you're the only one who can help me like this.

And I don't want to lose it

just because my sister did something.

Okay.

And I'm really sorry about everything.

It's okay.

Don't let it get to you.

Oh, you are tense.

That's not going to help your game.

I'm fine, really.

So, I'm thinking, if I pace myself better,

I can take another ten to 15 seconds off my mile time.

Tell me what you're really thinking about.

I mean, after all, you can tell me anything.

I mean, who's been there for you every step of the way, hmm?

Just relax.

Relax. What... What's the big deal?

We're friends.

I'm not comfortable with this.

Oh, yeah?

I'm sorry.

I thought I could talk to you.

I mean, really talk to you, like an adult.

Not like some...

well, kid.

I don't like this. I have to go.

Whoa, whoa. Hold on.

I mean, don't be such a baby.

Besides, where you gonna go, hmm?

Especially after you and your brother

and your sister made such complete idiots

out of yourself

in the Principal's office yesterday.

I mean,

who's going to believe you?

They will.

You're fired, Coach Koper.

You're lucky you're still breathing.

Fired?

For what?

There are so many things to choose from.

Sexual harassment, misconduct...

Our lawyer will get back to you, or if you're really smart,

our lawyer will get back to your lawyer.

You okay?

Yeah.

But I don't get it.

Why are you here?

How did you know?

I didn't know.

But I had a feeling that there was something wrong

with that man.

Yeah, but-but how do you know when your feeling is enough?

I mean, everything Koper said made sense.

His words were right,

but today didn't feel okay.

It felt horrible.

It's not easy.

But you learn to trust yourself more

as you get older.

Yeah. It's just so hard.

I know it's hard, Mary.

And there is so much we have to teach you that you

will never find in your school books.

Yeah.

What's wrong?

Why don't you join us in my office, and I'll tell you?

Don't worry.

No one's in trouble.

That's what you said last time.

I was wrong, and you were right.

He is a jerk, and it wasn't just a hug.

I'm sorry.
