"Out, please?" "Thank you." "Oh, Pete." "Yeah?" "Um Mister Austin told me to tell you that he doesn't want to see you today." "Really?" "Yeah." "Apparently." "So, I'm supposed to go back to class?" "Ah, no actually." "He didn't say that either." "So?" "So, you're just supposed to sit there for the rest of the day until detention." "And um... think about your life." "My life?" "Yeah, that's what he said." "What about it?" "You know he wasn't very specific about that, actually." "Um, but perhaps." "Maybe you could just free associate a bit you know?" "Ummm..." "I do that, and ahh..." "it helps me." "Just you know center and just breathe." "What's going on, boss?" "What's happening?" "Do you have any shifts you don't need next week?" "Why?" "I was looking to take on a couple extra." "I thought you might have a few you don't need." "Why?" "Extra shifts, extra money." "Are you alright?" "Yeah." "You already work like, six days."

"You hook up the tank?" "Hmm?" "Did you hook up the tank." "Naw, I didn't get around to it yet." "Why didn't you do it before you showered?" "Because Pete's supposed to help me, and he's nowhere to be found." "Well, what's Pete got to do with it?" "What Pete has to do with it is, it's his job." "And he's supposed to help me." "We talked about this, this morning." "We all do equal amount of work around here." "You ever lift one of those things by yourself?" "Yeah, about six hundred times." "The thing weighs like ninety pounds." "Well, why didn't you get Stacy to help you?" "Because it's not Stacy's job to help me." "It's Pete's job to help me." "You guys busy on Sunday?" "I don't think so." "'Cause I was thinking we could um drive out to Allaire and rent a boat or something." "I've gotta see about work." "Yeah, I gotta see about some stuff too."

"Then what is it?" "What?" "You think you're cooler than me?" "Well, I do better cutlet breading." "No." "Hey, the salt in this breading is crushing me, man." "I'll tell you what." "When you cook, don't use it." "Okay?" " Amen." " I don't." "Good." "I leave it on the table." "Good for you, Pete." "Salt is an option." "You cook bland." "I delicately season, yes." "I can't even taste it when you cook it." "Whatever." "You fear seasoning." "It's an issue you have to deal with." "Okay." "I'll spice it up for you." "Go ahead." "I'm not gonna eat it anyway." "I'm gonna get a little juice to counteract the saltiness." "Oh ah, Pete." "I got a letter from your school about a parent teacher meeting on Friday night." "Okay." "I'm just letting you know." "Mister Winters?" "Come on in." "Have a seat." "Well, as you probably know, Mister Winters." "I'm just Pete's History teacher." "But I've spoken with his other teachers, and with Vice Principle Austin." "And we sort of felt that since" "I was the only teacher Pete seems connected to that I should be having this talk with you." "Okay, yeah." "Ah, well first... ah..." "Pete will have to go to summer school again." "I know you've heard this before." "Looking back at his record, I see that he was left back in umm..." "Pete was not left back." "He was away from school for a while, so he lost some time." "But he was not left back." "Mister Winters, we don't think there's anything wrong with Pete." "It's just no telling when he'll try, and when he won't." "It's like he umm..." "Well, we don't know what." "It must be very frustrating." "For you as well." "Come on, Robbie!" "He's confusing me!" "Nice." "You see him?" "What's the score?" "Seven to five." "Hey Mister Winters." "Hey Robbie." "How are ya?" "Okay, thanks." "What's up?" "We need to talk." "I'll be home a little later." "We need to talk now." "We have next game." "I think we need to do it now, Pete." "Later Dude." "I'll be back, Dude." "Okay, man." "What is up?" "When is this gonna end?" "What?" "You have to finish high school." "Okay?" "Then you can do what you want." "I understand that your life is your own." "Okay?" "But you have to finish." "Have to?" "Yes, you have to." "There's nothing wrong with your brain." "There's nothing wrong with your hearing aid." "What the fuck does my hearing aid have to do with anything?" "When does this crap..." "Are we done?" "Can I go?" "Just finish, Pete." "Can I go?" "Yeah." "Hey, Bob." "Hey, Mister Winters." "What's up?" "Well, that lady down at the Wentworth's needs a hand truck, or some kind of dolly." "She's asking about a hand truck." "And I suggested like a dolly." "I'm pretty sure you have a hand truck." "Yeah, fine." "Hey, wouldn't you guys rather help, than just stare at me all day?" "Seems kinda boring, just sitting there staring." "Looking tough." "How about some cookies?" "Or cash!" "There could be cash in it for you guys." "For some reason, cash doesn't work with them." "Alright, now we're talking." "Thank you." "Yeah, it's the local gang." "A gang who refuses cash!" "Yeah well, I would accept the cash." "Actually, I'd help you for nothing." "But ah..." "I'm really busy today and I can't." "So..." "Oh no, no, no." "That's fine." "This will definitely help." "But I could help you get this on." "Thank you." "I'm Molly Ripken." "Ah..." "Jim Winters." "I just live down the block." "Nice to meet you." "So you're umm..." "You're house sitting." "A favor for an old friend." "Yeah." "House sitting." "Plant watering." "Various other things I imagine." "Lawn cutting..." "Right." "Anyway, which house is yours so I know where to return it." "Number forty seven." "It's about a block and a half down there." "Alright, I'll get this right back to you." "Hey, no rush." "No problem." "Okay?" "Thanks." " Nice to meet you." " Nice to meet you too." "So listen, we gotta have a talk here." "Why's that?" "It's a... a decision I made." "What's that?" "I'm gonna be leaving soon." "Leaving?" "Yeah." "What, you mean you're moving out and getting your own place?" "Ah..." "Actually I'm leaving town." "I'm going to go to Tampa." "Stay with..." "Brian for a while." "And maybe get a place down there." "Why?" "I don't know, exactly." "You're leaving town, and you don't have a reason?" "No, I have reasons for it." "Well what's your reason?" "Where do you think you're going?" "This is between you two." "I want you to sit down over there, Pete." "Pete!" "Pete, get back in here and sit down!" "Hey, take it easy!" "Why didn't you talk to me?" "Gabe?" "Why didn't you talk to me?" "What about Stacy?" "That's my problem, and I'm dealing with it." "And what are you going to do in Tampa?" "Well, Brian says he can get me a job on his uncle's boat." "I'm gonna do that and get a place." "See what happens." "You're going to work on a boat." "Yeah." "I am." "Look, I've been thinking..." "about this for a long time." "It's got nothing to do with you." "It's..." "I think you should sit down Gabe." "And we... should talk about this." "No." "There's nothing to talk about." "I think there's plenty to talk about." "I want you to sit down and I want to discuss this." "I don't wanna sit down and discuss it." "I want you to sit down so that we can talk about this!" "No, no!" "Listen... to me!" "There's nothing to discuss!" "Okay." "I'm gonna get the money together." "And them I'm leaving." "It's a plan." "It's settled." "You know, every day this place just looks a little worse to me." "I just..." "I can't get anything started here." "You know." "I'll be fine." "Can I see that soda a sec?" "What?" "Dude, I'm not doing anything." "Good." "Because I'm not dealing with this tonight." "I'm know." "Alright, cool." "Cool." "Hey Bender!" "How's it going, man?" "It's Good." "Good." "What's going on?" "I'm awesome." "Good to hear it." "Just drive." "Okay?" "Dude, I'm fine." "Yeah, what's up... man?" "Oh nothing, man." "Don't fuckin' go anywhere, man!" "I'm right here, Dude!"

"I'm house sitting down the street." "What's your name?" "Pete Winters." "Umm..." "I borrowed this..." "from your dad." "And just returning it, and wanted to thank him." "Or you too, I guess." "So, thanks." "Okay, you could just leave it." "Oh." "Okay." "Are your parents home, actually?" "I think my dad's working." "I'm not sure." "Well, what about your mom?" "Maybe I can help you?" "Well, I just wanted to invite your family for dinner." "Actually... to thank you." "I don't know a lot of people here so I'm just trying to, you know... get to know people." "You can come too, if you want." "Well, thanks." "I'll let me dad know." "Okay?" "Yeah, you can let me know what night's good for you." "Yeah." "Thanks again." "Nice meeting you." "Both." "Bye."

"Alright well, I should head." "Do you guys want the rest of this?" "Get outta here." "Alright, I'll see you tomorrow." "What do you think of these?" "I think they're a little overgrown."

"You know, she's house sitting for the Wentworths." "Oh." "She doesn't know anyone." "She's... you know... she's new." "So?" "So..." "So, we're gonna go there and have dinner Wednesday night." "Why do I have to go?" "Because you were invited." "Well, why don't you just go." "Because we were all invited." "I already talked to Pete and we're just gonna go." "Okay?" "I'm working Wednesday." "Yeah, you've got the day shift." "You can be home by six thirty." "Take a shower, and meet me and Pete by seven." "Are you serious?" "Yeah, I'm serious."

"Okay?" "Alright." "You know, it's not like I ask you to do a lot of stuff." " Alright?" " Alright." "Fine." "These are good." "Yeah." "We're gonna take a look at history through its contextual perspectives." "Which is a rather opaque but very impressive way of saying, that if history is a story." "And it is." "We're gonna ask ourselves..." "why are they telling it?" "Who's telling that story?" "Who are they telling it to?" "And how does... that story change itself, modify itself over time?"

"Sorry." "So I'm sure you'll wanna get here then so you don't..." "you don't miss anything." "Umm... could you do me a favor?" "What's that?" "Could you sit a little closer?" "Why?" "I don't know exactly." "Well, shouldn't my seat be my choice?" "Just asking." "How about this one?" "Okay, let's look at Mongolia." "Fucks..." "You little mother fuckers." "Hey." "Hi." "Welcome." "Come on in." "Thanks." "Ah..." "I'm sorry." "My boys are not gonna be able to make it." "They were..." "They were busy." "So they couldn't come." "That's fine." "They send their apologies."

"Should we put those away?" "Okay." "Where shall I put them?" "The people that you're dealing with, they have ideas." "And you have ideas." "And you put them together and you kind of... you create... you create this..." "this garden together." "It sounds like bullshit but..." "No, that's a beautiful way to describe what you do." "You obviously love what you do." "And that's..." "Then, you know, there's the maintenance part of it." "You have to which in some ways..." "is even more important."

"And umm..." "I wanted to explore the other side of things for a while." "I'm a bit of an artist, myself." "Really?" "What, like painting?" "Or..." "No, umm..." "No." "I'll tell you what." "I will show you what I do after dinner." "Okay." "It's beautiful." "How long you been doing this?" "A long time." "Since high school, I guess." "I wish I could make a living with it." "But..." "Every now and then I sell something." "I guess it's a very competitive world." "Right?" "Oh, there are a lot of jewelers out there." "Yeah." "But it's beautiful." "I mean, the details." "It's really amazing." "Thank you." "Can I get you some more coffee?" "Amm..." "No." "Actually I have to go." "Oh, okay." "I have a really busy day tomorrow." "And I gotta get a jump start on it."

"I did try to work things out here." "It doesn't really look like it." "Do you know how hard it is for me to make all of this work?" "Well, you think it's easy for me?" "I don't want to do it anymore!" "Who's asking you to?" "Huh?" "Who is asking?" "You've had your eye on the door ever since your mother died!" "Oh bullshit!" "That's a fucking lie!" "And you know what?" "It's not my fault that she's gone." "I never said it was your fault!" "You ever thing for two seconds that maybe I have to go and do something for myself?" "For once!" "For my life?" "And what are you gonna do?" "You're gonna go live on Brian's couch?" "Yeah!" "Brian's couch!" "Something for me for a change!" "For my life!" "No, no, no." "This is your life!" "Go inside!" "Don't you ever talk to me that way!" "Hey!" "How are you?" "Good." "It's beautiful today." "Yeah." "What are you up to?" "I'm taking the boys out to dinner tonight." "Nice." "Hey."
