Did you have a bad dream?

Come here.

Yeah.

Safe and sound.

Safe and sound.

Mom?

Does Aunt Baby have to stay here?

- Hurry up and eat your breakfast.

- I don't want wheat squares.

They're ugly. I want rice squares.

Wheat squares are the same

as rice squares.

- One's wheat, one's rice.

- I need lunch money.

- I can make you lunch.

- Olive loaf.

What's wrong with my olive loaf?

You love my olive loaf. He's joking.

Good morning. Look who's up.

- Hey.

- You didn't have to get up early.

- We're late.

- You want some breakfast?

- Mom, lunch money.

I'll get you some orange juice.

- What's wrong?

- Is everyone leaving?

You don't wanna be alone?

It's okay. Don't worry.

I- I'll be here with you.

I'm gonna take a few days off work.

- Mom, I need lunch money.

- Just wait a second.

All right, Mollie. Come on. Let's go.

Davis, here.

- Five bucks? It's a school lunch.

- Deal with it.

- Bye. sweetie

- Okay.

Just give me a second, okay?

Davis.

I have to pick Mollie up,

so come home after school.

- No, honey, he's got debate team.

- I quit.

- What did you say?

- I said, I quit.

- You did what? Davis-

- Listen. Listen, it's gonna be okay.

Because today,

Davis has to take care of his aunt.

We're late.

We will talk about it later.

They're gone.

It's always really chaotic.

All right, breakfast.

I n make you anything you want

Eggs?

- Do you want some cereal?

- I'm not hungry.

Okay.

- Should I tum on the TV for you?

- No.

- Music-

- I think-

I think I'll just go smoke a cigarette

on the porch.

Okay.

Do you want some company?

No.

Madeleine.

Hey, it's Billie.

I'm gonna need a few more days.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's hit me harder

than I thought.

I am not incompetent.

I know what I'm doing

every minute and-

Hey, you sure

you don't wanna watch TV?

Would you turn it off, please?

It makes me hear voices...

...in my head.

Sony.

Mom, I'm home.

Honey, where have you been?

- I told you not to be late.

- I had a test.

Oh, 100. That's good, my good boy.

You keep an eye on her.

I have homework, so...

Baby.

Can you come in here?

Would you mind helping me out?

I know you're such a good cook.

- I can cook.

- Good.

Yeah.

Come on.

You know what you should do? Make

a list for me. That's what Mom did.

Oh, we don't need a list.

Hey, you know what?

How about a pie?

Mollie loves peach pie.

I can make an apple pie.

That's right. You used to make it when

we were little. That was my favorite.

Great.

Apples are in the fridge.

Here you go.

Mollie's actually a lot like I am.
