I'll Follow You Down Page #2

---

Yeah, all right.

Why were you away so much?

Because I never came home.

Erol?

You okay?

Yes. Strange dream.

This is Marika. Please

leave a message.

Hey, Mom. I'm just checking in.

Hope the lecture went well.

Have a safe flight.

Bye.

Was it about your mom?

No, I just forgot to

call her earlier.

Was it about how you haven't

studied for your finals?

No need to dream about reality.

Mom?

Mom?

Yeah?

Hey. Welcome back.

You just get in?

Yeah.

Want breakfast?

Thanks. That would be great.

Right. Come down whenever.

Okay.

Morning, kiddo.

Hey. Good morning.

Oh, thank you.

Didn't you have class today?

I cancelled. I was too tired.

Didn't sleep on the plane?

Not much lately.

There's another

letter here from MIT.

Have you accepted yet?

Told you, I'm just

not a Red Sox fan.

Oh, honey.

You can't let this go by.

We'll talk about this later.

By the way, there's a message from

Dr. Wong's office on the machine.

- Did you miss your appointment last week?

- I'm not seeing Dr. Wong anymore.

Why not?

Because I never blacked out

once from the medication

but he is keeping my

driver's license.

And I'm sick of taking the bus.

So you want to change medications?

Well, I'd like to stop altogether.

As in, you've already stopped?

Yep.

I'd like to feel like myself again.

You're not eating?

No.

I already did.

Let's talk about this later, okay?

Bye.

- Thank you.

- Welcome back.

Bye. Have a good day.

You too.

Okay.

Anyone.

It would take weeks to

even organize a work flow.

What if I gave you my approach?

Did it work?

No, no. You have to tell me.

Oh, Mr. Whyte.

Only two minutes left.

Why even bother?

Sorry, sir.

Well, since you obviously

don't need my instruction,

why don't you tell us the answer?

It... it's unsolvable.

You have one too many variables.

We need to know the

value of Z at least.

Okay.

That's good for today.

Mr. Whyte. Can I have a word?

I'm listening.

I'm sorry.

What was so important this time?

Is this Grandpa Sal

asking, or Professor Sal?

Uh, both.

I was helping Grace.

She has her thesis

defense coming up.

Sometimes I feel like you're

taking advantage of your sweet,

good-natured grandfather.

- Don't give me any special treatment.

- I... I'm not sure how to treat you.

You spend all your time

with your girlfriend.

You never hand in assignments,

half the time you don't even

show up And yet you ace

every one of my exams.

How did you see the problem

on the board so quickly?

- Just did.

- Well, how?

I don't know how.

I can see it like a

colour out of place.

You need to know Z

otherwise it's a dead end.

What about this?

Can you do it?

Yeah. Yeah, I can do this.

I'm going to need a few hours.
