Party of Five s04e02 Episode Script

Past Imperfect

That is an excellent question.
As you know, Matisse studied with Moreau, so it's no surprise that their works show the same disdain for pictorial realism.
It's cool that I have, like, no idea what you're talking about? Not a problem.
Where is my brown vest? Oh, it's at the cleaners.
I needed that.
Hey.
Oh.
Thank you.
Ask me another one.
Ok.
You know, this museum's not like they're paying you or anything.
Why are you getting so freaked out? Art question.
Ask me an art question.
Ok, ok.
"Why was George's brake" georges braque.
Whatever.
Why was this guy mainly remembered for his cubist works when he added as much to his earlier periods? Well, because braque's fauvist work, which I got to see in Paris, and it was so great.
So I can actually I can actually use that experience.
It was all about saying to the art world These colors don't work.
Sounds good to me.
No, Griffin, these colors.
I mean, the job is at a museum, but it's the modern art section.
And look at me.
I'm responsible, I'm tasteful, but I'm way too muted.
Does this help? This this is perfect, except the shoes that match it are at the house, and my tryout is in an hour and I'll drive you.
I'll quiz you on the way.
What about the shop? I'll open a little later.
You would do that? Well, yeah.
I love you so much.
Nobody in this house catches half the stuff you can recycle.
And besides, when I do this, I don't have to think about going to prison, which is funny when you think about it because if I do go to prison, I'll probably dream of the days when I had the freedom to recycle.
That's a joke, Sarah.
It's a subpoena.
Last night I was sitting in my room going through a course catalog or something, and my mom knocks on the door.
Nothing unusual, right? I say come in, so she opens the door, and then she lets this guy walk in.
And he comes over to the bed, and he hands me this.
Yeah, I got mine, too.
Wait.
You knew I was going to get one? That's how it works, Sarah.
But it's like a total nightmare.
And then did you read this? Did you read this? I mean, everything in here is, like Like, "failure to appear" could result in a warrant for your arrest.
" What did you expect, Sarah? I'm on trial here, and you're, like, their star witness.
Yeah, but that means That means that I'm going to have to get up there in front of everyone, and some lawyer's going to ask me all these questions.
Well, so then so you answer them.
Yes or no.
But I know everything, Bailey.
I know everything that they need to convict you.
I remember how you were knocking into things, how you smelled, how you ran that light and almost I mean, I begged you not to get in the car.
I know that, Sarah.
And they're going to make me say that.
They're going to drag out everything.
So it's, like, whatever happens to you, you know, if you have to If you have to go to jail, I'm going to be the one that put you there.
It's going to be me, Bailey.
Me.
Everybody wants to live like they wanna live and everybody wants to love Like they wanna love everybody wants to be closer to free closer to free Owen, Owen, just put Put the fish down.
Ok, just put the Go get on the other side and box him in.
Julia: Anybody home? Is that Julia? Go ask her if she can pick up Owen this afternoon.
Which one? Box in Owen or ask Julia? Before she disappears.
Run.
Ask her.
Owen, listen, just be a good boy and put the fish down, ok? Oh, god! Oh! It's ok, little fishes.
You're going to be ok.
Claudia: I got her.
Can I go get my bus now? Yeah.
Go.
God knows I can't drive you.
What? I am, like, so, so, so late.
Look, bay and I have to meet this criminal lawyer today and somebody's got to pick up Owen from day care.
Wow.
Charlie, I kind of can't.
I mean, if I even get through this interview, there's a training session all afternoon, and I mean Well, if you'd given me some kind of warning.
If I had some kind of warning, I wouldn't need you.
Wait a second.
I didn't flake on you.
How can you be mad at me? Easy.
Watch me.
Charlie, that is not fair.
I mean, I was around, and you told me to go.
You said, "go home to your husband and live your life.
" Ok, fine.
You can't be mad at me when I didn't even know.
I said fine, ok? You're right.
Owen, he's my responsibility.
I'll take care of him.
Just go do your job thing.
I hope you get it.
Thank you.
No, no, no.
There's no such thing as a lost cause, not when the d.
A.
'S got a hundred cases and I've got one.
Well, sure.
Sure, but, I mean, I did it.
Bailey, everyone did it.
I can count on one hand the amount of clients I've had who didn't do it.
The idea is knowing how a jury works.
Now, we got a lot going for us.
You're a likable defendant, they got a d.
U.
I.
Case with no blood alcohol level, no field sobriety test, which means they're going to rely on witnesses, and witnesses can be discredited.
Ok.
All right.
All right, now, let's start with Sarah Reeves.
She was in the car with you? I take it you know this person? Yeah.
She, um, she used to be my girlfriend.
Used to be.
What happened? What do you mean? What does that have to do They broke up when he cheated on her.
Hey, do you mind? What? It's none of his business.
Ok, now, let's look at this.
You broke up with her? I think we can make a case where she got jealous, she made up this drinking and driving story to get back at you.
Yeah, but that's not I mean, you're not going to say that in court.
I'm not going to say it.
She will.
Wait.
Wait.
No.
You can't do that.
Sarah's, she's my friend, and she doesn't even want to testify to begin with, so Nobody's there because they want to be.
I don't care.
I don't want you hurting her.
Ok, I don't want you to do that.
Mr.
salinger, you put your girlfriend through the windshield, not me.
Now, if you want to go to jail for that, fine.
Don't hire me.
But if you want to win this thing, if you want to get out of this without a felony on your record, you got to let me do my job.
Ok? Ok.
It's ok.
Right, bay? Oh, um Ahem.
Hello.
Reed.
Yeah? I forgot my darn damn! Damn combination.
I was just wondering Well, do you think you might be able to Yeah, I might still remember it.
Hey, good idea.
I'm, like, no good at numbers at all.
Don't you hate math? English, too.
Don't you hate everything? I don't know.
You're right.
You're right, you're right.
I mean, there's lots of stuff I like, like, um Um, what do you like? I got to go.
Guess I'll be bumping into you, right? Yeah.
Yeah, you're definitely Gonna Bump into me.
Ladies and gentlemen, if you will direct your attention to yours truly, you will see an excellent example of a late 20th century museum docent.
You got it? Yes! Yeah, you got it! Yeah! Jul, you rule! Hey, I've got a surprise for you, too.
Since you've never seen the inside of a museum, I bet you've never gotten frisky with a docent before.
That's true, but, uh Man: Is it ok I used your toothbrush? My mouth taste like bilge.
Julia, this is schuyler.
Schuyler, this is Julia.
Hi.
Hi.
Is this all his stuff? Remember I told you about schuyler? He bunked with me on my first Kyoto crossing.
Yeah, but you never told me he had so much stuff.
His ship is docked at Oakland, and he's here on a 4-day layover.
Wow.
D.
H.
Lawrence? Are these little tugboats? Yeah.
Schuyler's a little romantic about, you know, the sea.
You can say it.
She's my reason for being.
My ever faithful ladylove.
Hmm, love? Then I guess 4 days must seem like a long time to be away from, um, her.
Hey, those dogs must be barking pretty bad right now, huh? Why don't you take a load off? Oh.
All right.
You sure? Well, I did do 3 practice tours today.
Lay back, tell me what you want for dinner.
I don't know.
I can't even think.
How about some nice broiled salmon? Sounds like a lot of trouble.
It's already marinating in the fridge.
Are you for real? Yes.
Wow.
I got to tell you I look at you guys, and I think, "how often do you get to see a good man find an even better woman?" Oh, thanks.
Yeah, I just wish I knew which was which.
So how was day care today, buddy? Did you have fun? I made mud pies.
To eat or play with? Not to eat.
Hi.
Charlie, is it? Yeah.
And you're, uh, heddy's mom.
Yeah.
I'm Sally.
Uh Did Martin call you? Martin? Jason's dad? Didn't he tell you about the meeting? The meeting? No.
Look, maybe you better close the door.
Look, I don't know how to say this, so I'm just going to Jason came home from day care last Tuesday, and he was upset.
Martin had a look at him, and the boy had this He had these bruises on his arm and his shoulder.
Bruises? When Martin asked him how he got hurt, Jason didn't want to talk about it.
He said he didn't want to get into trouble.
I don't get it.
The next morning he was scared to go to day care.
He said Jenny was mad at him, and he didn't want to see her.
Wow.
That's Plus Kevin neigher keeps telling Linda that he doesn't want to go to day care.
Kevin, he's the redhead? I'm trying to tell you that this is what they look for.
This is how they know something's wrong at one of these places.
Hey, there! Remember socks for the puppet show this Friday.
Clean ones.
Look, I, uh I got to go.
What does Callie have to do with it? Nothing.
She has nothing to do with it.
So he's going to ask me about all that, our whole relationship? He has to, Sarah.
You're the enemy, so he has to make you look bad.
Man! Man, that is And I don't know what to do because he's going to rip you apart.
He's going to ask you about all this stuff, and you're going to have to answer all of his questions.
No, I won't do it.
He'll make you, Sarah.
I should just say I don't remember.
He'll just keep coming after you.
No.
Bailey, I mean it.
What if What if I said that? What if I said, "I don't remember"? I don't remember anything about what happened.
Think about it.
Why can't I say that? I don't know.
What can they do? I mean, they say they don't believe me, I say, "hey, let's break a windshield over your head" and see how much you remember.
" What? What, you don't think it'll work? Ok, all right, go ahead.
Ask me.
Ask me the question? Ok.
On the night of the accident, was Bailey salinger under the influence? Um, you know, it was a really long time ago, and I did hit my head pretty hard, so to tell you the truth, the only thing that I remember is waking up in a hospital with these bandages on my head.
And that's Yeah, that's pretty much it.
See? I want to warn you it's impossible to know anything for sure in these kinds of cases.
Kids don't want to talk about stuff like this, and when they do talk, well, it's hard to know what to believe.
Now, that's the bad news.
The good news is I don't see any signs that Owen was abused.
I mean, physically, there's nothing.
And emotionally, well, we talked for a while and played a few games.
There's nothing.
No apathy, no depression, no hostility.
Great.
That's great.
And another good sign.
I asked him about this teacher specifically.
Asked him how he felt about going to preschool, how he felt about her, and he was completely comfortable the whole time we were talking.
In fact, I couldn't get him to shut up on the subject.
So he's ok? Nothing happened? As far as I can tell.
Wow.
Thanks.
Thank you so much.
So that's abstract expressionism to your left and social realism to your right.
Or is that my left and my right or my left and their right? Watch the iron.
You need me to make you some lunch? No.
I'm grabbing lunch at, um The restaurant.
Charlie's catching me up on all the Bailey stuff.
Oh! Oh! And tonight I drew the nighttime rotations, so I only have a little time for dinner, ok? Hey, I'm easy.
Um, shopping list on the fridge and don't forget to pick up my stuff from the cleaners.
Got it.
Hey, break a statue.
Give me a break.
It's her first day at work.
I'm watching how you work that sponge, and I'm thinking, "this ain't your first day.
" So I do some work around here.
So what? Remember on the boat When Mr.
brawley would find a loose line or some tarnish on the brightwork? And he would just He would just stand there till one of us came along and fixed it.
Ever wonder why he didn't just fix it himself? No.
He was the first mate.
He did it because if everybody didn't know what their job was, the boat would sink the first sign of trouble.
Look.
I like doing things for her, all right? I love her.
Doesn't she love you? Of course she does.
So why can't she do things for you? She does.
She does plenty.
What? What? Look, griff, if you want to love her, hey, that's great, man.
I mean, there's plenty there to love.
But you just remember Cleopatra, she had guys that loved her.
They worshipped the ground that she walked on.
They happened to be her slaves.
You mean it could end up being more? More than what, 20,000? That's what lawyers cost.
Wow! Really? I mean, is he the only guy out there? We don't have time to shop around, jul.
We got a pretrial hearing in 3 days.
And plus, I mean, this guy is good.
Ok.
Ok, well, if that's true, then maybe we can help, Griffin and me.
I mean, there's still money left in his settlement.
A fair amount, I think.
That's nice, jul, but you don't have to.
We've got almost half of what we need if you take everything from checking and savings.
And, look, there's mom's piano.
No one's using it anyway.
I guess, sure.
The thing I don't want to do is have to borrow against the house, but, I mean, if we have to Right.
Another mortgage.
That means more interest.
But ok.
Focus, Claudia, focus.
Claudia: But I can't see anything.
What do you need to see? Focus.
Ok, fine.
Let's take a break.
Kind of reminds from a scene from the plumed serpent, the one where they sacrifice those peasants.
Well, you do know the plumed serpent, right? By d.
H.
Lawrence? Who's d.
H.
Lawrence? What was she doing in there? Is she in trouble now? I don't know.
I don't know.
You want to tell me what that was about? I was just answering the questions.
You told them that you don't remember anything.
Maybe I don't.
You lied on record to an officer of the court.
How is that a lie? If I don't remember, I don't remember.
You changed your story, Sarah.
So what? What you said on record can be used to impeach you.
If they want to, they can charge you with perjury.
You have got to go back in there and tell them that you made a mistake.
No.
I won't do that.
You know what perjury means? You can go to jail for that, Sarah.
To jail.
If you lie to a judge, if you if you break the law in that courtroom, I can't help you.
I can't help you.
The golden bears have something going here with one out in the fourth.
Hey.
Griffin.
Uh, hey.
How'd work go? Oh, it was Cut him off! Cut him off! Fine.
Work was fine.
So you hungry? I don't know.
You going to make something? I would, but there's no food.
What happened to the list? I thought you were going to I didn't get around to it.
But you went to the cleaners, right? Please tell me you went to the cleaners.
Uh-uh.
God! Griffin.
Yeah? If you weren't going to get around to it, you should have said so 'cause I would have been happy to do it.
I thought I told you I only had a few minutes for dinner.
I was doing some other stuff.
Is that a problem? Well, yeah, it is, actually.
I've only got a few things that I can wear to this job, and the other outfit that I have is at the cleaners.
So it's my job to make sure everything around here gets done the way you want? No.
You just said that you were going to do it.
No, you said I would do it.
Don't look at me.
Where are you going? I am hungry, and I need an outfit for tomorrow, so I'm going to go to the house, and I'm going to get what I need.
Oh! Did you see him rip that puppy? He nearly tore the seams off it! You see that? Missed it.
All I am saying is that if these kids are getting hurt, then it's not enough just to take them away from her because then she goes to another town.
And what's to stop her from setting up What did the police say? The police? They said these cases are very hard to prosecute now.
You have to videotape the kids, and you can't ask them too many questions, or else it looks like you're leading them on.
Wait a minute.
I'm sorry, but you called the police? Why not? Once a thing like that gets public It should be public.
Well, that's I mean, you're going to ruin her business.
So what? Her business? People need to know.
Did any kids ever blame Jenny directly? Jason's scared to go back there.
Why else would he be scared to go back there? I can think of plenty of reasons.
Were anyone else's kids hurt? Because my brother's fine.
Our doctor's pretty sure he wasn't touched.
Mine neither.
You want to wait until it happens to your kids? I don't think so.
Nobody's saying that.
There's other good child care out there, I mean, if that's what anyone's worried about.
I am just as worried about my kid as you are.
Really, because it does kind of seem like you're more worried about this woman.
I just don't want to lock somebody up when we don't even know if she did anything.
Woman: He's right.
No, he's not.
Why is everyone acting like she's some kind of innocent victim? She's got a police record.
A record? She has Nobody told you? Shoplifting.
She stole a $400 dress and then lied about it to the police.
When? When was this? That's, what, 20 years ago? Exactly.
So who knows what else she's done? Except lie about it every day since.
Bailey? What if my parents answered the door? I tried calling, but you wouldn't answer.
Bailey, I don't even know if they're asleep.
Sarah Keep your voice down.
Sarah, the plan, everything that we talked about, it's off.
I heard what your father said to you.
My father is just trying to scare me.
No, he's not.
You know he's not.
Mrs.
Reeves: Sarah! Yeah, mom.
Sarah, listen.
I don't want you lying for me, ok? When they ask you those questions We'll talk about it later, ok? Mrs.
Reeves: What's going on? Nothing! Go.
Ok? You've got to go.
Now, Charlie? Can we read this book? I said another minute, Owen.
Please? I'm asking why do you need to appraise it? There's more than enough equity Great.
Who is that? The bank.
I'm ready to kill this woman.
She's insisting on having an appraisal which can take up to a week to schedule.
Hang up on her.
Bay, I can't.
I never got her name.
We don't need the money.
I'm going to call the lawyer, and I'm going to tell him I want to change my plea to guilty.
What? What are you talking about? I'm going to make some kind of deal.
As long as I don't have to go to jail.
Now, Charlie, now.
One more minute, Owen, all right? Bay, I I don't believe this.
We spent half of yesterday trying to figure out how we were going to pay for this.
Yeah, I know we did, and it was pretty much the longest day of my life.
Yeah, well, that's no reason Look at me, Charlie.
What am I doing? What am I doing to everybody? Sarah wants to get up and lie to protect me.
And this family, we're practically selling our house to pay for this.
All so some slimeball lawyer can get me off for something that I actually did.
It's not worth it.
Charlie, it's not.
Yes, it is.
Yes, it is.
Because if you make some kind of deal, you're going to end up with a rap sheet, bay.
But I did it.
It'll follow you around for the rest of your life! I did it! I did it.
Go ahead.
No.
I'll come back.
Griffin.
Were you wishing that I would do all that stuff? You know, cooking and cleaning and everything? 'Cause I don't remember you saying anything about it.
No.
Well, do you want me to? My mom used to do it When she was around.
'Cause at my house, dad always did it.
Mostly 'cause mom sucked at it.
A little on purpose, I think.
And that's probably why I never thought about it.
You know, 'cause I never I never saw her do it.
But if that's what I should Is that what you wish I would do? I don't know.
Maybe I do.
Hey.
Hey.
Remember when you asked me about that book, d.
H.
Lawrence at practice? Yeah.
Why'd you do that? Why did you ask me about that? I don't know.
That that stuff on the field, it just reminded me of that book.
Did you go in my locker? Your locker? Me? Why Just stay out of there, ok? I'm sorry dinner is taking so long.
They made me stay at the museum for some stupid safety meeting.
Are you sure you don't need me to help you No.
Give her a chance, all right? How's she supposed to learn? Why won't this damn thing simmer? Oh, god! Here.
Let me give you a hand.
I'm sorry.
Oh, well.
Rome wasn't built in a day.
I'm sorry.
What did you say? Griffin: Come on, Julia.
He's just No! You know why, Griffin? Because the way he has been malingering around the last 2 days, making sexist cracks like some, some Popeye the sailor pig! I mean, why is he here? Why are you here? Just being there for my buddy.
No.
Making trouble is more like it.
Since you've been here, you've been whispering in my husband's ear.
Maybe he needed to hear it.
What is that supposed to mean? Sometimes Griffin has a little trouble sticking up for himself.
What does my husband have to stick up for? "My husband"? You keep saying "my husband.
" Guys, guys.
He's like a toaster you picked up at big al's.
He is my husband.
Cool it! Can we mellow out, please? Schuyler! Schuyler? I'm not the problem here.
Princess here's the problem.
Excuse me.
She starts in with Can we stop?! Please! Jeez! All right, look.
Julia and I have our own way of doing things, all right? Which is We don't know what it is yet, but we're working on it! We're just not ready to show it to the world yet.
Now, either you find a way to keep your helpful hints to yourself, or get back on your boat a day early.
All right.
Now I'm gonna finish dinner.
You two make up.
All right, can we do that? Try some dip.
Jenny.
God, nobody told me you were Owen wasn't at day care today.
That's 2 days I haven't seen him, and I'm wondering are you pulling him out of school.
Well, uh Just For now.
Charlie, if you take Owen away, that means you don't trust me, and if you say you don't trust me, then it means Jenny, I'm really sorry, but I gotta get outta here.
We have to talk.
I have to go to court.
This is my life, all right? It's my life! You people are destroying my life! These parents Their children get hurt, and they don't even come to me and ask me what's wrong.
They just start screaming out about child abuse, as if that's something that they can just take back later if they decide that they're wrong.
So How did it happen? I don't know.
But how am I supposed to prove that I didn't do it? So now I can't prove I didn't do it, they can't prove I did do it, so then they drag out this shoplifting thing, some stupid thing I did when I was a kid, like that's gonna prove that I'm this kind of horrible person that can hurt children.
And that's just not fair, Charlie.
Nothing that I did back then has anything to do with this.
It has nothing to do with your kids.
Jenny You go? You go.
Fine.
Go.
But If you wreck my business because of this, if you hide Owen from me like I'm some kind of monster You should be ashamed.
People vs.
Bailey salinger, case number 48476.
I understand there's been a plea agreement reached in this case.
Yes, your honor.
In return for Mr.
Salinger's plea of guilty to a count one felony, driving under the influence, with injuries, we have agreed to the following terms: felony probation, with 3 years state prison, suspended.
One year suspended driving license, and 300 hours community service.
Mr.
salinger.
You understand the terms of this agreement? Yes, I do, your honor.
Well, that makes one of us.
I think this is a very sweet deal for a kid who got drunk and almost killed someone.
However, given your record, I'll go along with the state's recommendation, but I want you to know, if you take a drink, if you get behind the wheel of a car, hell, if you violate any law in the state of California, you'll be in this courtroom, and I will make damn sure you do the maximum time allowable.
Is that clear enough, Mr.
salinger? Yes, it is, your honor.
Clear out, then.
Next case.
Hon? We're heading off to gram's.
Sure you don't wanna come? Sarah? I said I'll go see her later.
But it's an hour to woodside, and as long as we're making the drive No.
Ok? I said no.
Sweetheart, we know that you're mad at us.
We understand that.
But we're gonna have to move past this eventually, right? I mean, we can't stay mad forever, can we? You must be sorry he's not in jail.
That must really bug you.
No, but I'll tell you what.
At least he can't drive.
Oh, god.
We would do anything to protect you, Sarah.
What is wrong with that? Come on.
We'll talk in the car.
Why is it so important for me to go with you guys? What, are you afraid what I'll do if I'm home alone, afraid I'm gonna have an accident driving myself? What? What do you You obviously don't trust me out of your sight.
It's Bailey that we don't trust.
We don't trust him.
No.
Actually, it's me.
Honey, people don't change.
They don't, ok? Now, it's very sweet that you believe that, but it's Naive? Yeah.
A little, I think so you guys are saying that the way people are now, that's the way they're always gonna be.
I'm really sorry to hear that.
Sarah Look, we can talk about this, all right? Mr.
Reeves: Sarah.
Did you ever read that one? Yeah.
You know the part where Ursula's saying she hates this Anton guy? Why does she stay with him if she hates him so much? I mean, does she really hate him? Well, she doesn't totally hate him.
She just She just hates how he wants to fit in so bad.
So is that supposed to be sad or something? Or is the guy just a loser? Hey, Sarah.
Are you ok? My parents They were acting like it was all for the best, and I couldn't stay there.
I couldn't, so I grabbed Grabbed some stuff, and I left.
I left.
Oh, man.
Did they ask Can we not Is there someplace Yeah, yeah.
Here.
There's room.
How long is she gonna stay? I don't know.
Is she ok? Are you ok? I mean, at least it's over, right? At least you can finally put all this stuff and junk behind you.
Yeah, till it catches up with me again.
The case is closed, Bailey.
All you have to do is get through probation, and then everything will be back to normal, right? Right? I remember My sophomore year at Grant.
There was this kid who transferred from someplace back east.
Keith.
Keith something.
And, like, 5 minutes after he got there, the whole school knew how he had killed his brother in some A gun accident back home.
It was supposed to be this giant secret, but But right away, everybody knew.
And whenever anybody mentioned his name, it didn't matter what they were saying, that story was the first thing that popped into your head.
That's totally different, Bailey.
Did you hear that judge? He hated me.
He hated me, and he doesn't even know anything about me, except for this one mistake that I made.
But that was enough for him to make up his mind.
It doesn't matter what I do, claud.
Everyone I meet is gonna see me that way.
I'm an alcoholic who made this horrible mistake, and that is gonna be what, what makes me stand apart.
That's what's gonna make me different.
Always.
Charlie.
I'm, um I'm here to pick up Owen's stuff.
You mean I'm sorry.
You're taking him away.
It just It just feels bad, Jenny.
These things happened, or they didn't i don't know.
But you're not giving any explanations for anything.
And then this other stuff comes up.
I mean Why didn't you say anything? Why did we have to find out like this? Say something? Like what? Like, "hi, there.
I'm Jenny Selby.
" "I was convicted of shoplifting 20 years ago.
Why don't you bring your kids on over to my preschool?" Admit it, Charlie.
This, um This is not people being rational.
This is People being afraid.
Because punishing me like this, it's just not fair.
It's not fair.
It isn't.
I'm not saying it is.
Ok, then.
I don't know what's fair.
I have no idea.
And the thing is, even if I did, I I'm not any good at this, Jenny, at being a parent.
I'm barely getting by.
I've got no instincts.
But my little brother Owen, he is the most important thing that I've ever had to take care of, and I am not taking any chances with him.
None.
And I don't care who it hurts.
You, me, I would hurt anybody to protect him 'cause that's the only thing I know how to do.
So I'm doing it.
Ok.
Get some sleep.
Bye.
You going over there? Uh No.
He wants to be alone.
Feel like maybe getting something to eat? Uh, sure.
Pasta, maybe? Sure.
You want me to put some water on? Be great.
I'll start the sauce.
Ok.
Simple, though.
We can used canned.
I don't mind chopping.
All right.
You do the garlic, I'll do the onions? Garlic's so much easier.
Yeah, but water How hard is that? You know what? I found this menu under the door this morning, a new Cuban place down the street.
Sounds great.
I'll go get the menu.
I'll do the dialing.
Hey, don't you wanna talk to me anymore? I wanna go to school.
I know that But you can't.
Because why? Well Because it's It's not the right place for you anymore.
How come? Well, you remember when Bailey graduated from high school, and then he went to a new place? College? That's right.
College.
Well, now it's time for you to graduate.
It's time for you to go to a new place for bigger boys.
What if I want to go to Jenny's? Don't you want to be like your big brother Bailey? Don't you want to be brave, and say, "I can do that," just like a big boy would? Can you come up here and sit with me for a minute? There we go.
You're gonna be ok, aren't you? I'm proud of you, Owen.
You're a very grown up little boy.
Like Bailey? Like Bailey.
And you? And me.
All: God, Grant me the Serenity to accept the things that I cannot change, the courage to change the things that I can, and the wisdom to know the difference
