- Mom, it's not working!

- I'm coming!

- Mom!

- Yes, honey?

- This isn't working very well

- No?

- The pencil keeps punching...

- All right, let me see.

It's 'cause it's a soft chair.

I don't like soft chairs.

Look, we'll put a

hard book under it...

What do you think?

'You can do it.' Plus, plus,

plus. Heart.

Exclamation point.

Smiley face.

- Hey dad!

- Bud.

So I figured you'd just

give me a lesson plan,

and I'll follow it.

You'll make me a list of stuff

I gotta buy to

get him started.

And you know, just do it!

I don't know! I

don't know if you're...

What?

You don't think

I'm smart enough?

Here we go, that's not

it, and you know it.

Well no it isn't, you've

just said that I'm not...

cut out for it...

How is it more

complicated? We...

can't put him in a

special ed program.

Of course not, can we just

talk about this tonight?

Please, I've just got 34 7th...

- I've called in.

- What about your 7th graders?

You really wanna do this?

No, I don't think

we have a choice.

I'll go partime again.

I guess, I'll do nights.

I can get my shift back

at the resource center.

Why can't they just teach him?

'Cause they're idiots.

All teachers are idiots.

Well, we all are.

Thank you.

Hi.

Hi, Saul.

Just a minute.

Is she coming?

I would imagine so.

They won't let me

see her will they?

There are reasons

for that, Saul.

Yeah.

Do you think she hates you?

And would you,

if you were her?

Maybe.

Probably, yes.

But, I'm not her.

I didn't know you then.

Neither did she.

She just looked at me.

That's it. She

just looked at me.

Do you want her to hate you?

I pray to God she hates me.

What?

You're almost out.

Here, take those.

You take 'em!

- Pop?

- What?

- I need to talk to you.

- You need to work.

There's no work, pop. There's

no appartment, nothing.

We're done.

What are you talking about?

We've got everything we need.

You've gotta be kidding me.

Come on.

There's more to your entire

from your past.

There's more to you

God's plan?

Yes. Yes, God's plan. He's

got a plan for you, Saul.

For you and for me?

For you, for me, for every

living creature on this Earth.
