kids to like you.

Otherwise, you'll isolate,

sabotage yourself.

-You'll have a miserable time.

-Okay, I get it.

I learned something.

Ruby?

Ruby.

-Wake up.

-I'm awake.

-Wake up.

-Mommy?

Mommy?

You scared the crap out of me.

I heard noises. I thought

it was a burglar or coyote.

I'm not used to kids here.

Come here.

Thank you.

You must be freezing.

No more 3 a. m. swims. With all

the glass, you hear everything.

I'll set the alarm at night.

Are you coming?

Drunk driving among teens has...

...steadily decreased,

but we can do better.

As these images starkly attest...

...alcohol remains the No. 1

problem among teens.

This year, 20 percent

of teenage drivers...

How was your first day

of Driver's Ed?

-Fine, I guess.

-They still show gruesome movies?

Those were the Dark Ages.

They have better ways

of teaching kids today.

May I be excused?

Stupid, kid-proof piece of crap.

Ruby?

Was it awful?

I mean, the driving class?

-I can just imagine.

-No, it's...

I have my period.

Come with me.

Thank you.

Four doctors recommend...

This cramp, too, shall pass.

I'll turn it off

when I get to a save point.

It's cool. I don't care.

It's kind of relaxing.

Erin, get out of there!

What were you doing in there?

Tell me the truth!

-What are you implying?

-Tell me!

No, I won't answer you!

Good night!

-What the hell are you doing?

-Getting ready for bed.

-Watch your language.

-Don't play games with me.

You know what I'm talking about.

I'm too tired to guess.

I'm sick of your accusations.

Is that what you call it now?

-How many-

-I've done every-

You told me you-

Ruby?

-Hi, I'm Hannah.

-Hi.

There's this rumor you were

on academic probation.

Cut to the chase, huh?

I was. I had sex with the dean

and he took it off my record.

Oh, not really.

I was supposed to be at

my friend Tasha's...

...doing an essay,

and went to this rave.

Sunday I was fried and

downloaded this thing off the net.

-Tuesday, I was busted.

-Hey, Hannah!

-Hey! I gotta go.

-Bye.

Hey, Ruby.

My company's driving people

to a premiere.

I gotta make sure everything

runs smooth. Wanna come?

I have homework, three more hours.

Pretty heavy, so...

That's perfect.

Can we catch the end of the movie

or go to the party?

Actually, the hell with Westwood.

-My drivers can handle a premiere.

-Evening, sir.

Mud pie for the lady.

Ketel One, rocks, for me.

Great.

Thank you.

That party'd be a mob scene.

I really want to talk to you.

-Here you are.

-Thank you.

I remember when you guys moved

down the block 11 years ago.

It was funny. I noticed the furniture

as they brought it in.

Erin noticed a little girl.

But you were upset.
