Okay, um, so you're gonna need to change out his gauze pads once a day.
Twice if he's bleeding through.
His catheter's good for five days at least.
So he should be up and about before you need to worry about any of that.
I've got a cold compress here.
You just put ice in it, if you need it.
There's alcohol if you need to clean out the wounds.
[fading out.]
I've got all kinds of things in here for you He'll be thirsty when he wakes up, but don't let him go hog wild on water, okay? Ice chips will be your best bet.
Your mom meant the world to all of us.
Really, if there's anything you need at all, just call me, okay? You're right about me, Charlie.
And you're next.

And I know that you took something from Wes the day he died.
And I know that you took Gavin's skateboard.
And now he's - He's only ten, Evie.

You know, um, we actually have more in common than not.
You know, like, Kings Point natives? And we both have dirt on our hands, right? And my mom left me when I was little too.
So, I also My mom didn't have any say in the matter.

I never wanted anyone to get hurt.
You have to believe that.
Then you shouldn't sell poison.
But there's always gonna be junkies, Evie.
