in the whole world?

Okay.

Least favorite?

(BOY GRUNTlNG)

Done.

Done.

Most favorite?

-Can I get back to you on that?

-Why do you talk like that?

-Like what?

-(lMlTATlNG SA5M) Like that.

Why do you look like that?

-I just do.

-Same here.

I used to stutter.

Emotion is overrated.

There may be a middle ground.

Idiots.

Morons.

Open. Right now.

Right now, right now, right now.

-I'm sorry. Are you okay?

-Do not come near me!

Are you all right?

If anything happened to my cello,

I'm going to sue his parents.

Seems all right.

It's impossible to tell until you play it.

It's not like it's a viola.

Hey! Hey, Good Samaritan,

do you like kids?

-What?

-Do you like kids? It's a simple question.

Of course you do.

All Good Samaritans like kids.

It's in the handbook.

Come on, we don't have a lot of time.

What?

-What is this?

-This is a daycare program

our fair school set up

with Lindsay Elementary around the corner.

-Beef jerky! Beef Jerky!

-Beef jerky! Beef Jerky!

Beef jerky. Teriyaki flavor.

They... They love it.

-CHlLDREN:
Beef Jerky!

-Beef Jerky!

Okay, ready?

You.

Who's...

Oh, uh...

That's Mr. Berry. He "supervises."

All right, everybody, sit down.

Come on, monsters.

-Name?

-Will. Will Burton.

Charlotte Barnes.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Will Burton is in the house!

(CHlLDREN CHEERlNG)

Can I have your iPod?

Hey, Rory,

you want to listen to some of Will's music?

Is it like your band? Glory Dogs rock.

Ex-band, Rory.

(WlCHlTA LlNEMAN PLAYlNG)

-They're not gonna want to listen to that.

-Halt.

CHARLOTTE:

Way to soothe the savage beast.

You are a weirdo, aren't you, Will Burton?

KAREN:

She wants you to do this every week?

You know, just 'cause someone

tells you to do something

doesn't mean you have to do it.

Why is she still here?

I thought you trained these dogs

at Aunt Nan's kennel.

She's getting placed tomorrow,

with a lady who has tummy issues.

Yeah. Right, Mazzy? Mazzy, Maalox.

So, now, since when are you so interested

in daycare?

Since when do you talk to the dogs

like that?

Since when did you get so good

at changing the subject?

-That's appetizing.

-Yeah, and it's not Maalox. Mazzy, Maalox.

So, what's this Charlotte like?

Not only is she the coolest person

who's ever spoken to me,

she's potentially the coolest person

on the whole planet.

But please,

don't make a big deal about it, okay?

-ls she pretty?

-Mom!

We are not going to sit here,

do each other's nails

and gossip about crushes, okay?

Not gonna happen.

Tylenol is not Maalox.

Well, it's not a bad idea. High five!

You walk home from school?

School bus waits for no one.

Not even art class.

Hey, want to see the coolest place ever?
