Hey.

How long
have you been awake?

Um, I don't know.
A while.

Can we talk, please?

I messed up.

I'm sorry.

I know it's been hard for you
ever since Smurf's been in jail.

And, you know,
you've had to keep things going,

and I know
I haven't been helping much.

[ Sniffles ]

But, uh...
it's been ha--

it's been hard
for me, too.

You know, I, uh...

I, uh, called my dad

and said I wanted
to come to Guam.

You know what he said?

He said I could come back
for Christmas for a week.

Maybe.

[ Sighs ]

Your dad's an asshole.

Look,
I-I do want you here.

Go back to sleep.

I'm gonna go for a run.

[ Sighs ]

Hey.

Hey.

Um...

is it -- is it okay
if we sleep inside?

It's just --
it's really cold out at night,

and there's
lots of empty rooms.

We could pay you.

I'll have to ask Smurf.

Wait! Wait.

I can get you more.

I'll let you know.

You're just
moving it around.

I'm not hungry.

You said you'd eat it
if I cooked it.

It's okay.
It's okay.

I'll heat it up
for you later.

What are we
gonna do today?

Your teacher sent
homework packets. Do those.

It's math.

Okay.

It's fractions.

Hmm.

Fractions.

Do you know
how to do fractions?

Nope.

Hmm.

What are you gonna do?

What am I gonna do?

I have to find you
a doctor.

Why? I'm not sick.

Not that kind of doctor.

It's the kind of doctor
that you talk to.

There are some doctors
you go to

when you're feeling mad
or sad.

They talk to you.

Why?

Because it's supposed
to help you

not feel mad or sad
anymore.

Have you ever been
to that kind of doctor before?

Yeah. I have.

Did it help?

Um...

No. Not really.

But your school is not gonna
let you go back there

unless you --
you talk to a doctor.

So...that's
what you're gonna do.

Oh, come on.

Not even hanging over
