WIDE --

Matt confers with fifth-grade teacher MS. Hayashi and school

Have you been engaging Scottie in

really talking about what's going on?

Encouraging her to express her

feelings? That's crucial.

MATT:

(No)

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Absolutely.

SCOTTIE (O.S.)

This sh*t is bananas. B-a-n-a-n-a-s.

This sh*t is bananas.
