and then she'll write me a note tomorrow.

- You've done this before?

- Yep.

I'm not corrupting you?

So, where are we going?

Got you a little gift.

You wanna try it on?

No.

I like it when it's new.

Don't wanna ruin it.

All right. Seat belt.

Tommie.

Gary.

You really wanna see those mountains?

Yeah.

I mean, you wanna go with me?

Sure.

Where?

A secret trip in your secret life.

You finally get your camping trip.

- For how long?

- Just a week.

Not even two Mondays.

I'll bring you back before

anyone starts to worry.

We're not gonna tell anybody where we went.

You'll have to swear to God.

Swear to God.

You promise?

I promise.

[David] You wanna leave now?

- [Tommie] I don't have my stuff.

- I'll buy you stuff.

We shouldn't even tell my mom.

She might let me, but Jesse would never.

All right.

Do you... like cartoons?

Listen, I'm gonna go out to the store

and get us some things for our

trip. We need to be prepared, right?

How long is it gonna

take for us to get there?

Two days.

Then how are we gonna make

it back in five nights?

That's why we're doing this in stages.

So we don't do anything stupid.

It's actually more like seven nights.

- Can I come with you to the store?

- No.

Why?

I want you to spend some time here alone.

You remember how to get

home from here, more or less?

That's for a cab ride home.

I don't wanna go home.

Look, I want you to think about this, okay?

I want you to take an hour, so

think about this really hard,

whether or not you wanna

stay here and wait for me.

This will look a lot like a

kidnapping to other people.

Right?

Oh.

Here you are with a

stranger in a hotel room.

But you're not a stranger.

Yeah, I know, but maybe this

makes you feel a little funny.

It doesn't.

I'm 47 and you're 11.

Okay?

Say, "Okay, Gary."

Okay, Gary.

Now, if you decide to stay,

I want you to rearrange

the room like it's your own.

Okay? You line your shoes up in

the corner, you wash your face,

you mess the pillows up.

So, that when I come back,

it's like you're inviting

me into your room.

You're weird.

Maybe so.

But if I come back and you're not here,

I will completely understand.

There's no hard feelings, okay?

What if I wanna go back, like,

at a certain point... later?

Well, we'll put you on

a plane and get you home.

All you have to do is say the word.

It's an open door policy.

Okay.

So, we have a deal?

Equal partners, 50-50?

[spits]

[spits]

I'll be back.

[electronic music playing]

I'm heading out of town.

Where?

Dad's cabin. Tomorrow.

It's for a few weeks.

Well, do you want me

to come with you again?

Not now. But soon, okay?

Now that he's gone, I just need a little time
