[Thump.]
[Woman moaning.]
LULU: Oh, my God.
NICK: Hey, Alvin.
Sorry.
Sorry.
I, uh I didn't see anything.
Um, when you're done, just, uh Iock the door, and uh set the alarm.
He's gone.
[Sighs.]
I can't believe I let you talk me into this.
JAKE: The inspection report is pretty grim.
You need a new roof.
The septic tank is 40 years old.
Dock needs to be rebuilt.
So then you're not buying our cabin? Well, take off 5 for the roof and 6 for the dock.
Six is cheap for the dock.
Mr.
Finster, this cabin is a huge liability.
If a building inspector were to see it, you'd have to pay to tear it down.
MR.
FINSTER: 41,000? We were hoping to buy a Winnebago with that money.
JAKE: But you're getting rid of a public hazard.
You can walk away from this with no worries.
Edna? OK.
Glad I could help you out, Mr.
Finster.
Always hated that place.
LIZ: Jeremy.
Shannon.
Dinner.
Her mother was, you were saying, some kind of a go-go-dancer? She was a stripper.
And what happened to her? Died.
Cocaine overdose.
And her father? Father doesn't seem to be interested in her.
That's sad.
So sad.
And God knows what she's been through.
I think what you're doing, becoming a foster parent I think it's it's pretty remarkable, Burton.
I think it's important she have some sense of family, and it might be good if you and Jeremy could spend some time with her.
- Of course.
- It'd be good.
It'll be nice for Jeremy to have a friend.
Burton, Jeremy wants to show you guys something.
What? He just wants to show you something.
Ready? That's not funny, Jeremy! Get down from there! Damn it! I'm getting tired of this.
Liz.
Get a knife, Liz.
Get a knife! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Get a knife! Shannon, pull that chair up.
Put it under his feet.
[Singing.]
Well, there is trouble in my mind There is dark There's dark, and there is light There is no order But there is chaos And there is crime There is no one home tonight In the empire of my mind There is trouble in my mind All the chaos In my mind He's constantly challenging my authority.
It's like we're at war.
Well he's 15.
He won't talk to me at all most of the time.
I mean, he keeps accusing me of spying on him.
He's 15, Liz.
It's not the first time he's done this kind of thing, either.
And he's obsessed with the Appalachian Trail.
I mean, every wall in his room is covered with maps and photos.
And he keeps asking me if he can walk it alone this summer, alone.
Don't you find that strange? Maybe you ought to sign him up for that, uh Outward Bound.
He doesn't like groups.
Liz Hetherington? Right here.
May I have a moment? Liz this doctor's going to ask you if he's ever done anything like this before.
So? So if you tell her this was a suicide attempt, as opposed to a prank, she's going to commit him for psychiatric testing.
You understand? Yeah.
Thank you.
WOMAN: Wheelchair to room 412 East.
Wheelchair to room 412 East.
Shannon Yeah? This was a joke, right? That's what he said.
He was just showing off.
I think he kind of likes me is all.
What? He was just showing off, OK? Well, that's a hell of a way to impress a girl.
WOMAN: Dr.
Patricia Kincaid, Neurosurgery, stat.
Dr.
Patricia [lndistinct chatter, music playing.]
I can't believe that Alvin saw us.
I mean, I just, I really can't believe it.
He's gonna use this against me for the rest of my life.
Maybe.
Oh, damn it.
You know what? Lulu, Alvin's all right.
No, he's not.
Listen, the guy got busted getting a "happy ending" in a massage parlor.
You were understanding.
No, I wasn't.
And this doesn't even compare to that, Nick.
You're enjoying this, aren't you? No.
Yeah, 'cause now you're, like, the guy that gets laid at L.
S.
P.
, right? Am I? Oh, shut up.
You know how people talk.
That's what I'm saying.
I'm not gonna say anything to anyone.
No, Alvin will.
Alvin won't talk.
Really? You don't think? Oh, Jeremy, how you doing? Sorry the illusion turned macabre, Burt.
Uh, I got the instructions how to do it off the Internet.
The Internet? Yes.
Apparently, they were wrong, so Apparently.
You ever see that movie "Harold and Maude"? I don't think so.
Well, l-it's about this teenage kid who sleeps with an 80-year-old woman.
What kind of movie is that? I mean, but before that, he does all this hilarious stuff to his mother.
He, like, he pretends to kill himself, and she's so used to it that half the time, she doesn't even notice.
That's hilarious.
Well, it's called black humor, Burt.
But, look, what I'm saying is that, uh, I'm sorry for ruining the dinner party, and I would like to buy everyone pizza tomorrow night, my treat.
Can we? You should bring Nick.
Oh, what time? I won't I won't hang myself or set myself on fire.
[Shannon laughs.]
Nick.
Hey, look.
I just bought this cabin.
That's it? Well, you can't see it in the photo but it's on a lake.
See, if you squint, you can sort of see Good for you, Jake.
It's Preston County, West Virginia.
I'm gonna fix it up.
If you're interested I'm headed down there this weekend.
Oh, no, thanks, but, uh, have fun.
Preston County? You know the area? My dad was a bass fisherman.
Took me down there all the time when I was a girl.
Really? I still have all the gear.
Wow.
Well, that's that's cool.
[Telephone rings.]
Fallin & Fallin.
Gretchen.
He's out of the office.
May I take a message? Of course.
I'll let him know right now.
Thank you, Mr.
Sabeson.
Do you want to maybe come down there with me this weekend? OK.
What? Sure.
Love to.
You don't drink alcohol, do you? Uh, well, a beer sometimes.
Wine.
Is that a problem? No, but it'd be a problem if you didn't.
[Telephone rings.]
Good morning.
Fallin & Fallin.
I'm sorry.
Mr.
Fallin isn't in yet.
Can I take a message? Hey, sweetheart.
How you doing? Fine.
What? Oh, I was just, um wondering if you'd like to talk about what happened last night.
Why? Oh, sometimes when you see something like that, it's just very disturbing.
It was a joke.
Got a chance to look at your Gettysburg paper.
I worked real hard on that.
Really hard.
Right.
That's what I said.
Well, you got some great ideas in there, but, um, your spelling, your syntax is all over the map.
My teacher says spelling doesn't count.
It counts, honey.
She says we should be free to express ourselves.
Right.
Well, that's a lot of crap.
What? Spelling counts, honey.
It's important.
You ever see a clown at an ice show? He looks like he can't skate at all, but he's very funny? Yeah.
Well, the reason he can do that is not because he's a bad skater, it's because he's a very good skater.
I don't get it.
Well, if you want to spell badly first learn how to spell well, OK? Nick, door? Alvin, before you say anything, I just want to say I'm so sorry about what happened last night.
It was really just It was totally inappropriate and No need to apologize.
I'm a child of the sixties.
I understand.
I know more about the pleasures of transgression than you would think.
For 6 months, I lived on a commune in Oregon.
There were 5 of us there, We experimented freely.
Uh, well, you don't have to tell us about this.
No, I'm just saying I'm not being judgmental, but we do need to be a little cautious.
Our funding comes from many sources, as you know, some of them more conservative than others.
Yes.
So, our reputation is everything.
What if I had dinner with a major donor, brought them here? Ohh, I know.
I know.
I'm just saying if you dig having sex in the office, please, be my guest, but keep the meeting room door locked.
Here's the key.
Well, that's not necessary.
I mean, we won't, you know.
Go ahead.
Take it.
Alvin, we're not going to do that.
L we we don't need a key.
Just in case.
What? Alvin told you, didn't he? Told me what? Oh.
I was thinking about using the meeting room if that's OK with you two.
[James laughs.]
Ah, Nick, Lulu.
I think it's wonderful.
What is? Love.
Happens when it happens.
Alvin said it was a beautiful thing.
I'm very happy for both of you.
Nick.
Nick, come here.
Would you leave the door open, please? I need you to do some things for me.
Sure.
I want you to send flowers, here, to my office.
OK, I'll pick some up.
Just a nice spring bouquet.
You can spend $50 or something.
Sure.
And I'd like to go on a date.
We go on dates.
No, I mean a real date where I can get dressed up and you get dressed up and we go somewhere that we look forward to going all day.
OK, like what? Surprise me.
OK, fine.
That's it? Uh, no, I actually think that we should have a dinner party for Laurie and Alvin and James on Saturday night.
Why? Because I just had to endure getting a sex key from Alvin.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Of course.
OK.
[Knock on door.]
Yeah? Hey, Burton.
Hey.
How's school? Fun.
This boy, Johnny Cork, he was being real mean to this girl I like - Yeah? - Nicole, in study hall.
So, I just walked on over and leveled his ass.
Excuse me? Yeah.
So Nicole wants to have a sleep-over now.
Can we? Uh, we'll see about that.
Meanwhile, I'm thinking about taking you out of that school.
What? Yeah, I talked to the headmaster over at Thurmond.
He says he's got a place for you.
But it's the end of the year.
Oh, that's no problem.
They said you could finish the year at Thurmond and then, uh, take a session of summer school.
- Summer school? - Uh-huh.
Summer school? Yeah.
I'll be a freak! No, you won't be a freak, honey.
Burton Now, honey, you just think about it, OK? I think it's the best thing for you.
Just think about it, all right? I hope you guys liked the pizza.
So I think we fulfilled our obligation.
My mom's happy, so you can go now.
- Jeremy! - Sorry.
Uncle Burt, Cousin Ernie LIZ: Jeremy I'm going upstairs now.
Jeremy, Shannon is your guest.
I'm going to work on my maps! Why not show them to her? It's OK, sweetheart.
You can go up with him if you want.
Mm-hmm.
Go ahead.
OK.
Well this is fun.
- Mm-hmm.
- Hmm.
And after the divorce settlement it comes out that she's 10 years older than she had said.
And I mean, we had all been at her 50th birthday party.
Hmm.
[Music blaring.]
[Sighs.]
What the hell is that? Oh, something called Icelandic speed metal.
BURTON: Ahem.
Well, Aunt Liz, I, uh, I should I should get going.
Oh, it's lovely to see you.
You, too.
I'm gonna take off, too.
I'll see you tomorrow, OK? I'll go get, uh, Shannon.
[Knocks on door.]
Shannon? SHANNON: Stop it! I can't breathe! Shannon?! SHANNON: I can't breathe! Jeremy! Jeremy, open the door! SHANNON: Stop it! Op open it! [Grunts.]
Get away from her! Are you all right, honey? Are you OK? Put your clothes on! What happened? He was trying to rape her.
LIZ: What?! Hey, stay there.
Don't make a move.
[Sobbing.]
LAURIE: Shannon anything you say stays in this room.
Right.
So you can tell me anything you want.
BURTON: It's OK.
It's OK.
This is, uh, private.
Are you gonna kick me out now? Of course not.
'Cause it wasn't my fault.
I didn't do anything.
I know.
I was just sitting up there Iooking at all his hiking maps.
And Jeremy pulls down his pants.
Said he was gonna, you know And I told him he was gross.
Then he pulled me off the chair choked me, and stuck his hand up my skirt.
Honey, um would you feel better if I just left you and Laurie alone? It's OK.
He kept saying weird stuff.
Like what? He kept telling me to leave him alone.
And then when I did, he attacked me.
Shannon, do you want to talk to the police about this? Is that what you want me to do? Shannon will talk to you in a in a few minutes, OK? - Mm-hmm.
- OK, thanks.
Burton, I've got to go.
Bring Shannon to my office tomorrow afternoon.
- OK.
Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Hey, you didn't need to call the police.
What the hell are you thinking? [Sighs.]
Your son is out of control.
LIZ: They're kids.
They're kids, they're just kids.
Whatever it is they were up to this is gonna follow him for the rest of his life You didn't see what I saw.
This is gonna follow him for the rest of his life.
I'm not gonna talk about this now.
You didn't need to call the police.
Not now, not here.
When I finish in there, I'll drive you home, and then we'll talk.
No.
I don't want to be around you.
Yeah.
Why don't we [Buzzer.]
I, uh, I spoke to your lawyer.
They're gonna keep you in here tonight.
I didn't do anything! Your dad just freaked out for no reason.
This Jeremy, you're being charged with a delinquent act.
Tomorrow afternoon, you will go before a judge to determine if there is probable cause to believe that you sexually assaulted Shannon Gresler.
If there is, there'll be a hearing.
Look, wh why are you being so formal, man? I'm trying to explain the process to you.
My mom was planning this all along with Uncle Burt because she wants to control she wants control of me.
So, look, what you can do is you can talk to my mom and tell her that I'm on to her, OK? And and that she should deal with me directly.
OK? What are you talking about? Just tell her, OK?! She'll know.
She'll she'll know.
- Hey.
- Hey.
How are you doing? Good.
I made breakfast.
Yeah, yeah, that's good.
No, no, no.
You sit down.
Oh, OK.
So, like my new uniform? I thought I'd try it on.
Nice.
Nice? Oh, great.
Great.
I, uh, thought about the new school and all, Burton and you know what? I think it's a great idea for me to get a better education and all that.
Well, as a matter of fact, honey, I've been thinking maybe, um maybe it's a little too soon to start this new school.
Why? I'm ready.
Why? Just thought maybe you could spend the day with me today at the at the office.
Maybe we have lunch and later on go go see Miss Solt.
Can we go to Primanti's? Yeah.
[Sirens.]
You hear that? What? - The sounds.
- Of? It's madness out there, Gretchen.
Ambulances, horns honking city life.
- I know.
- What a cesspool.
Hey, uh, you're not you're not a vegetarian, are you? Nope.
I was thinking about going down to the strip district a little later and picking up some steaks and produce stuff like that.
Sounds good.
Also, I, uh, I got an air mattress.
For you.
OK.
And you're gonna bring the, uh you're gonna bring the fishing gear, right? - That's what I said.
- All right.
Great.
By the way, you know, I'm a terrible fisherman, so don't hold it against me.
I mean, I say I'm no good, but then again you know, I haven't really fished before.
So maybe I'm terrific, or or bad.
Jake, it's not rocket science.
OK, then.
Oh, also uh, do you do you like the color red? Uh, sometimes, I guess.
Thanks for the advice.
It's gonna be so nice and quiet out there.
I'm fine, Burton.
BURTON: What? You've been looking at me funny ever since we got back from that lady's office.
Really? I'm fine, OK? I'm fine.
OK.
[Knock on door.]
Yeah? The judge just set Jeremy's hearing.
They'll send him home later today.
All right.
He'll be under house arrest.
His lawyer told me that if the judge believes he did what that girl said he did Jeremy will be sent to an institution for sexual offenders for a year, maybe 2.
Shannon could you give us a minute alone, please? Yeah.
Tell her to recant.
Do you have any idea what this will do to my son? I'm sorry.
I can tell them it didn't happen.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, Liz.
You shouldn't even be here.
Burton, you are letting a girl who was raised by a drug-addicted stripper Liz.
- Take my son away from me.
And how do you know it wasn't her doing? I mean, with what she's seen, you hardly know who she is, Burton.
You brought her to my house All right, that's enough.
Get your hands off me! You said that God only knows what this girl has been through.
You said it yourself.
How can you do this to your own family? [Knocks on door.]
- Hey.
- Hey.
Burton's being a bummer.
I don't get any of this.
What is it? It says Math Skills Assessment for Thurmond Academy.
You're going to Thurmond? Burton wants me to.
But the kids my age at Thurmond are in pre-calculus.
Where I go, that's for seniors.
OK.
I just finished long division and multiplication.
How much stuff is in between that and pre-calculus? A lot.
I'm so screwed.
Can you do it for me? No.
Why not? Ahem.
[Sighs.]
Did you used to date my mom? No.
I thought you did.
Your mother? I hardly knew her.
That Jeremy kid.
Is he going to jail? Well, he might have to, uh, go to a juvenile detention center for a while.
His mom says it's my fault.
She's upset.
You know I kinda liked him before he did that thing.
Maybe I shouldn't talk to the police.
I don't know.
[Sighs.]
Well see you, Nick.
Yeah.
See you, Shannon.
Can you give this to Burton? - Sure.
What is it? - Asurprise.
- Can I ask you something? - What's that? OK.
Periwinkle for the kitchen.
Aubergine for the guest bedroom.
And then, uh, winter apple for the main room? Oh.
That's very nice.
OK.
And then for the draperies Wait.
You know what? What do you say we go to lunch and talk about this? Lunch? - Yeah.
There's this great new furniture store just opened on Liberty and I was thinking about buying a couch and maybe we could just stop in there You want me to help you buy a couch? What? I mean, it's no big deal.
Jake, um I thought we were just gonna go down to your cabin have some drinks, hike, maybe fool around, fish.
Um, I wasn't thinking about, like, marrying you.
Wait.
Wait.
Why would you say that? Why? No, I mean it's just it's just a couch.
And a cabin, home furnishings.
This is getting way too complicated.
Gretchen, I mean, it's just really You know, I forgot that my mom's church is having a rummage sale this weekend and I promised I'd mind the cashbox.
Mind the cashbox.
Yeah.
For, uh, for the rummage sale.
So rain check? Yeah.
Sure.
OK.

- Can I call you later? - Bye.
"Asleep asleep asleep.
" Oh, Gretchen, have you seen Shannon? She left something for you.
She was here a couple hours ago, just after you went into that meeting with Mr.
Kison.
Why didn't you give me this before? LIZ: Nick! Nick! He has locked himself inside the car! He's trying to kill himself! I want to take him to the hospital, but I can't handle him myself! - Open up! - Stop! Do you have a spare key? The key.
Here.
Stop! No! Don't! I'm trying to do something, man! Jeremy! - Stop! Get off me! - Get the door! Stupid freak! I got him.
You drive.
[Knocks on door.]
Yeah, what? Are you Tory Metzger? I'm taking today off.
My name is Burton Fallin.
So? So would you bring Shannon out, please? No.
Miss Metzger, you know what you're doing is illegal, right? I've known that little girl since she was a baby.
You know, I could have the sheriff out here in a matter of minutes.
She doesn't need some old perv like you.
Excuse me? You heard me.
Look, I know it's illegal for me to come into your home Damn straight! But if you don't bring her out right now, I will come into your home, and I'll bring her out myself.
I'm not bringing Shannon out to you.
Shannon, where are you? I'll call the cops.
Yeah, you do that.
I'd love to see the cops out here.
Shannon? Come here, young lady.
Let's go.
Is this all you have? - Is this all you have? - Yeah.
Let's get out of here.
[Squeaking.]
NICK: So you understand what the doctors are saying about the schizophrenia? They say a lot of things.
The doctors want to keep you in here for the next 30 days.
They told me, for observation, but I'm the only one who can observe anything.
You know, sometimes I I feel myself slipping.
That is the worst part, when, you know, you still feel OK, but you know in a little while you won't.
Your attorney scheduled a hearing for tomorrow.
He's going to argue that you're not competent to face charges.
Is this good news or It's better than the alternative.
Well it gives everyone a reason, right? For what's happening, For what I did, for why I am like I am.
We're hoping we can get you into a treatment facility.
Do I have a choice? No.
Will you tell Uncle Burt I said I'm sorry? Sure.
My mom didn't even bring me my trail maps.
Because, you know, if I'm gonna be stuck somewhere at least I at least I can work on my hike for when I get out, right? Right.
Bert and Ernie, they're sold to small children as best friends, but they're really just closeted homosexuals.
Hey, Ernie? You think maybe you could, uh, stay a little longer? That was a joke, about the whole Bert and Ernie thing.
That wasn't me being crazy.
Right.
I'm not.
Right.
- You met with Jeremy? - Yes.
And spoke with his attorney? That's right.
The D.
A.
Has offered to delay Jeremy's rape hearing if he seeks mental health treatment.
If the judge agrees? Well, he'll be sent to a residential treatment facility.
Will they drop the charges? Liz, you'll just have to wait and see.
Nick.
I got to pick up something for the hearing.
Come on back a second, OK? Burton, uh, I was pretty upset about what happened, and I just want to say I'm sorry if I flew off the handle, said some things Yeah, well, you were very upset, and I was up all night reading about the disease.
They have more ways to treat schizophrenia now than they used to.
I was always worried that something like this was possible.
Why? Well, it's in the family.
What? Mental illness.
You know about your Great Aunt Donna.
No.
She jumped off her apartment building.
And there's one of my cousins, you know, my same age, who is institutionalized up in Erie.
I didn't know.
Your mother had incredible mood swings We better get going.
Don't worry about this mental illness crap, OK? I brought you your maps and some books and things.
What's it mean that I'm being remanded? Well, the judge transferred you to a treatment center for the next 30 days.
After that, depending on what your doctor says, you still may have to face the assault charge.
You know the judge, right? Well, I've been in front of her before.
And the other lawyer, you're familiar with him, too? Familiar? Well, you know each other.
And my lawyer, and my mom hired you all.
No, I didn't hire, Nick, honey.
And your lawyer's just trying to help you.
My mom hired you.
And you know the judge, and you know my lawyer, and you know the other lawyer, and everyone's walking out.
I'm the only one left for the experiments.
They're not gonna do any experiments Mom, look.
Right.
Right.
They call it "treatment.
" Right.
You know, I've noticed that you're losing your hair, Nick.
Jeremy! Like your dad.
You act like you're hip, but you're just another old guy.
I mean, what the hell do you want to do with yourself other than kiss your father's ass and hang around my mom? Why don't you think about that? Think about that.
The next time I buy you pizza, think about that.
Hold this.
Jeremy! See? Nick, this is what I'm talking about! Do you see? Are you happy now, Nick? Nick.
Huh? You you [Soft up-tempo music playing.]
LULU: Nick, should I seat Laurie and Alvin next to each other? NICK: What? Should Laurie and Alvin sit together? What are you talking about? Because I think they dated a couple of times.
Oh, look, who cares? [Sighs.]
- OK.
Oh, Nick.
- [Lrritated.]
Yes? Could you come here for a second, please? I'm coming.
I'm coming.
I had to get the cheese.
You you left the plastic on.
Yeah, I took the plastic off this one.
It smelled a little funky.
Oh, it's supposed to smell that way.
Could you grab that blue plate for me? - I can't reach it.
- OK.
Sure.
There you go.
That's very nice.
- Oh, you have a spot.
- What? - Yeah.
See it? - No.
Hang on.
Wait here.
I'll get something.
[Sighs.]
OK here.
Put this on.
No.
Well, if you're gonna grill, you should wear it.
You'll ruin your shirt.
I don't need to wear an apron.
Oh, come on, put it on.
It's cute.
I know what you're doing.
- Really? - Yeah.
- You do? - Oh, yeah, I do.
OK.
I'll put it on.
See? What's the big deal? - It's sexy.
- Right.
[Doorbell rings.]
Can you get the door? This is your house.
I know, but you can get it.
- OK.
- Thank you.
Good evening.
Hey.
How you doing? - Good.
- Hi.
Nice to see you.
How you doing? Pretty, pretty apron.
Yeah, I know.
It's very nice.
LAURIE: Place looks great.
Done a wonderful job.
[Knock on door.]
LULU: Thanks.
Hi.
I heard you were having a dinner party.
I thought you were in the woods Have you ever been out in the woods alone? I mean, you think you want to, right? And then you get out there, and you suddenly think you're going insane.
I mean, people who do that, l l Come in.
Thanks.
Nice apron.
It's sexy.
[Knock on door.]
Good night, sweetheart.
What are you doing? I don't want to live with you anymore.
I don't want to go to some prep school where everyone says I'm stupid.
[Sighs.]
Honey it wasn't easy getting you into that school.
I don't want to be around your son, who looks down on me, or that woman Liz.
I guess we could talk to Miss Solt, have her set up a hearing, have you placed somewhere else if that's what you want.
You said this was supposed to be different from before.
You said! Shannon, if you stay, you'll be safe here with me.
No.
No, I'm not.
Yes, you are, honey.
I promise you I'll never let anything like that happen to you again.
It already did, Burton! And then everyone blamed me.
So I can leave.
I won't testify, and everything can be like it was.
[Quietly.]
Oh, Shannon.
I can handle it, not living here.
I can handle it.
Shannon.
Please stay.
Please.
LAURIE: Delicious meal.
I'll have to get the recipe.
That was fantastic the food.
Hope I didn't bore you all with my political talk, but I think we all made some progress on that and we can at least agree to disagree.
Yeah, well, thanks for coming.
We should do this more often.
Yeah, we should.
Thanks for, uh, squeezing me in.
No problem.
- Good night.
- See you later.
- Bye.
- Bye.
[Whispering.]
Whipped.
Whipped.
Whipped.
- Good night.
- Good night.
What was James just saying to you? He just said he had a lovely time.
Mm.
I guess I should clean up.
Wait.
Wait a minute.
Um do you think that, uh you could maybe handle the upstairs now? Uh, I think I can handle it.
I bet you can.
I'm sure I can.

No.
Should I bring the apron? NICK: I think you'd look very nice in the apron.
LULU: I think you should wear it.
NICK: Come on, let's go.
