NIA:
He probably just wanted some free weed.
AARON:
How much did they get?
RONNY:
An eighth. But it was worth it. APW
was the bomb.
AARON:
It was pretty jokes... But oh-eight wasoff the hook.
CRAIG:
I need to go.
AARON:
What-- you’re leaving? I didn’t even
play Saucerful of Secrets yet.
CRAIG:
Yeah, I just...
SCUGGS:
Don’t bug Craig. He’s in the Craig
zone.
RONNY:
Yeah, he’s Craig-ing out!
They all laugh. Craig forces a chuckle.
Craig rides his bike over the bridge, stops to answer hisphone.
CRAIG:
Hey...
INT. AARON’S BEDROOM - DAY
Nia playfully pushes Aaron off her.
NIA:
Hey Craig. I forgot to ask you tocover for me tonight, in case myparents call or whatever.
CRAIG:
Oh... You’re staying over Aaron’s?
NIA:
I told them there was some school sleep
over. They’re a little suspicious, sothey might call.
CRAIG:
No problem.
Craig hangs up, looks out over the East River.
INT. CRAIG’S DINING ROOM - NIGHT
Craig’s family sits around the table for dinner.
GEORGE:
Hey there, Craigers. How’s the
Franklin Gates application coming

Craig stares at his dad for a beat, then VOMITS on the table.
ALYSSA:
Gross.
Craig’s parents look to him, concerned.
CRAIG:
(to Lynn)
I’m sorry.
LYNN:
(with Dr. Mahmoud’s voice)
Craig? Anything you can think of thatmay have set you off?
INT. ARGENON HOSPITAL - E.R. DOCTOR’S OFFICE - PRESENT
Dr. Mahmoud waits for an answer.
CRAIG:
Um... no. Nothing unusual.
DR. MAHMOUD
Are you taking any medication?
CRAIG:
Zoloft. But I stopped.
DR. MAHMOUD
Did your doctor take you off the
medication?
CRAIG:
No. I just stopped on my own.
DR. MAHMOUD
Oh... you shouldn’t do that.
CRAIG:
Yeah, I know.
DR. MAHMOUD
Do your parents know where you are?
Craig shakes his head.
DR. MAHMOUD
Well, Craig, you don’t seem to be inimmediate danger to yourself, so Ithink we should call your parents, tellthem what happened, and refer you toone of our out-patient services.
CRAIG:
But I need help now. The hotline said
you’d help me.
DR. MAHMOUD
I understand you’re upset, but thepeople we admit to the hospital arevery sick.
CRAIG:
I am too. Can’t you, like, give mesomething...
DR. MAHMOUD
Not without parental consent. Look,
this is serious business, Craig. We
very rarely take in patients your age.
I think it would be best if we tried to
handle this without-
CRAIG:
Okay, maybe I'm not explaining right...
how serious. See, my school is really--
and not just my school-- it's like Ithrow up sometimes because everythingfeels like it's building up. And
everyone else seems like they'retotally handling everything-- like myfriends, right? Aaron and Nia--
They’re both so... But not me. I like
sweat all the time. I'm sweating now,
aren't I?
