"I can't concentrate in class." "I can't concentrate outside of class." "Your son just... came and kicked the ever-Iiving shit out of me and I can't write anymore." "So I'm just going to talk for a minute." "And you can just shut me up whenever you feel like, okay?" "Go ahead, go ahead." "All right, so my friends... you know, the ones who were pooling all their money together to pay for my tuition-- um... that money that we pulled together was dirty." "AII right." "So what I'm basically trying to tell you is that we started an escort service that catered to your wife and all of her friends." "And I swear to God I had no idea that it was your" "that it was your wife." "And her friends were all just fuckin'-- once this whole thing started, man," "I couldn't stop it." "I really reaIIy-- it was going just really well and then you came and you told me that you got the school to pay for my-- my tuition and I felt awful." "I just felt fuckin' awful." "And I wanted to tell you about it, but I couldn't." "I didn't tell you about it, so then I went to the rental house where we would, you know, do everything and I tried to stop it." "But I didn't stop it there because I figured, "What the fuck?" "One night." "One night." "One more time." "Let's have one more time." "We'II go one more time."" "But it's not gonna be one more time." "Even if you hadn't caught us, it wasn't gonna be one more time." "And the only reason you didn't catch me was 'cause I was out alone with your" "I was at your house-- your house!" "with your fuckin' daughter." "Post script:" "I had no idea it was your daughter, but..." "I tried to come clean with her." "And... I don't know, man." "I'm just really fuckin' lost." "And I know that you're probably just super pissed and you don't care, but..." "Are you rolling a joint?" "I'm listening." "You're not even mad?" "Kinda." "Nah, not really." "No." "Come on, man." "I knew what was going on." " You did?" " Huh?" " You did?" " well, of course I did." "Find all your buddies with a bunch of older women?" "And magical cash?" "I mean, I'm stupid, but I'm not a fuckin' idiot." "And you know what?" "You said it." "You didn't fuck my wife." "You didn't know Courtney was my daughter." "And you did what you needed to do to stay here." " So now what?" " Now what what?" "You gonna kick me out of school?" "Nah." "Your friends?" "They took the heat for you." "Anyway, you know what?" "You'Ve been kicked out of too many schools." "So I told the new headmaster that" "Whoa, hang on." "What do you mean new headmaster?" "Oh yeah." "I resigned this morning." "The new headmaster is English." "I hear he wears bow ties." "So, if you do stay here, your scholarship is safe." "Look, man, thank you, but..." "I have absolutely no interest in staying here," "I mean without you or my friends, so..." "I figured as much." "You know what?" "You're gonna be all right." " l don't know about that." " No, you're gonna be all right." "I know." "really." "So what are you gonna do about your family?" "well... that famiIy-- my family's had problems for a long time way before you came." "And Judy and I, well, we were done years ago." "Shawn." "He's a troubled kid." "I feel responsible for all that trouble he has." "But that's the gift a father gives a son-- resentment and scorn." "He'II be all right." "He'II come around like when he's 29." "And that little girl of mine?" "I don't worry about her one bit." "She has got it all, man." "Got it all, that girl." " So what about you?" " Me?" "well, me-- can I ask you a question?" "Yeah." "seriously." "You think I'm too old to go back on the road?" "Nah." "Just wrap it up." "Oh, I'm gonna doubIe-bag it." "Oh yeah." "I ain't making that mistake again." "Hey, do a bro a solid, will you?" "Yeah, man." "You take JetBlue out of Ontario home tonight?" "Okay." "Good." "AII right."

"You really don't have to help me with that." "It's fine." "Look, yes I do." "By the way, how the hell do you plan on getting all these bags past security?" " I'm crafty." " Crafty?" "If you'd like to ensure safe passage of your bags, then maybe you should let me take one." "We can just say we're together." "Okay." "It's cool." "It's my bag." "Yeah, maybe, you know." "Okay."
