Thanks for coming in, Jack.

How you feeling?

Yeah, stupid question I guess, all right, look.

What you're going through is unimaginable,

but you're gonna have to let me in a little bit

so I can do my job, all right?

Yeah.

Good.

Will you go on a date with me?

Why do you think I should go on a date with you?

I think I'll erase that.

Once the Assyrians,

not the Persians...

Hey, mom.

Hey, baby.

How was school?

"School."

Huh?

It's good.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I mean I guess they'll have to meet eventually.

Okay.

I'll tell Jack.

Okay. Bye.

Jack.

Yeah?

How'd you like to go out to dinner tonight?

Sounds great.

Remember that guy,

I've been telling you about?

The guy from work.

The bouncer?

No, he is a security officer.

He has...

He has a son about your age.

And, uh...

And they're gonna come pick us up at 6:30.

Cool.

And honey,

just don't call him a bouncer, okay?

Okay.

Would you look at me?

He is a security officer.

I got it.

You better.

Oh, and could you wear the brown shirt with the buttons?

Yes, I can.

Thank you.

Hey.

Hey, gorgeous. How are you?

Good. I am good.

This is my son.

Hey, Jack. Tom.

Capital High?!

You like it?

It's all right.

He hates it.

Yeah, I heard it sucks.

Where'd you hear from?

I don't know, I just heard it.

So, what's your favorite subject?

Chinese.

They have Chinese?

Yeah.

It is taught by real China man?

I mean she is from Philly.

Do you play anything, Jack?

I've never been really good at music.

I play guitar,

should learn drums. I could teach you.

Yeah, that'll be really cool.

Maybe start a band.

Yeah, I think I saw an Asteroids machine out back, you wanna go play?

Yeah, that's a great idea.

Let me give you some... Got a couple...

- Mark has the money. - You just keep the change.

- You have money on you, right? - Yeah.

- This is going well, don't you think? - Yeah.

So, the Asteroids are outside?

No.

Ah, man, I just couldn't fucking handle that shit any more.

Yeah, I feel that.

You smoke?

Yeah.

Cool.

Aren't they gonna be able to smell it on us?

They wouldn't notice if you smoked it right in front of them.

They're in love, man.

Here.

Thanks.

So, where you from?

Here.

Yeah. I just moved here.

Where were you before?

All over. You know we moved around a lot.

Why you just coming to school now?

I don't know.

Paperwork, I guess.

Cool.

Stay right there.

Some room over here for me?

Yeah, I think I can squeeze you in.

You sure?

You want anymore?

No, man, I am fucking high already.

Fuck it.

You wanna go back in?

Okay.

You stoned?

So, are you just some kinda Holden Caufield suburban tragedy?

I fucking hate that book.

Yeah, you will.

Oh, fuck.

Hey, Jesus, hey, we're right here.

Do you have to do that in public?

We probably have 20 minutes until we left.

Well, we ran out of quarters.

Yeah, he sucks at Asteroids.

- Can I get you guys a dessert menu? - Yeah!

So you guys clicked immediately?

Yeah.

We were into a lot of the same stuff.

Like what?

Like music and stuff.

What's your favorite band?

I don't really have a favorite band.

But I mean I...

We listen to a lot of like...

Nirvana and GG Allin.

Stuff like that.

I got to tell you, I never really understood

the allure of those bands, they just seem so angry to me.

Well, who isn't?

Would you consider yourself angry?

No, I mean, what bands aren't angry?

Well...

Fleetwood Mac.

No, okay, I know, I know I am dinosaur.

Hello, Jack.

What's going on?

Nothing.

You wanna go to your room?

It's right here.

Yo, we're gonna...

- Yeah, sure, okay, great. - Okay. See ya.

Be good.

Yeah, this is it.

Cool, man.

Sweet record player.

Fucking Melvins. Love that band.

- That's my favorite. - Yeah?

Yeah.

I dig the wallpaper.

Thanks.

Do you mind if I...

check out your records?

Oh, yeah, totally, cool.

Screaming trees, rising.

- Oh, Mudhoney. Nice. - Yeah.

Man, you got sweet taste.

You should definitely learn drums.

Thanks, man.

I got you a present.

Yeah, sure.

I get a check every month from the government.

Besides that,

I have some...

Security gigs.

Tom, what I am basically trying...

to understand here is the relationship

between your son and Jack.

- Uh-huh? - Can you tell me a little bit about that?

Don't know what there is to tell.

Eat up. C'mon, let's go.

I like your shirt, Mark.

Really?

Me too.

You were supposed to burn it, right?

- Burn it. Yeah. - Yes, sir. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

He doesn't hate everyone.

Just me.

-Jack, you ready? -Yeah.
