It's just a hole.

A hole with no bottom in the basement of our house.

How does that make any sense?

Woah! Did you see that?

Right there.

See? There's something.

Or anything.

Like a light coming

through a crack in the...

Or a aliens.

Or an egg.

Or an alien egg.

How do you even come out with this...

It's not in the...

Hey guys!

- Hi! Mom.

Just watching some TV.

- Cool.

Yeah! What is it?

Oh! Nothing just stupid show really.

Just about to turn it off actually.

This is Julie. From next door.

- Hi, Julie from next door.

Hello!

I brought plenty of Chinese food in case you're hungry?

Thanks but I should... I should go.

My mom probably thinks I'm already hitting

up the new neighbours for gay way drugs.

I'll see you later?

Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

Bye Lucas. I'll see you later.

You might have been safer in the city. My friend.

What have you guys been doing all day?

We found this cool...

Nothing.

We just kinda hung out.

How's the new job?

Good.

Wait a minute...

Did you just... ask me about my life?

My Goodness! Couple of days in a small town

and look how polite you are?

I heard something.

Whatever...

Why do I have to do it today?

- Because your school registration is today. Sweetheart.

And I change my shift at the hospital to do it.

Please stop...

Hold still baby. We're late.

Why doesn't Dane have to do it?

Because I'm not in a school where

they make you take naps and drink out of sippy cup.

You can do me! D*ckhead!

- Hey! hey, hey...

Okay I know he did not learn that on Sponge Bob.

And Dane is not going today because

his registration is next week.

What are you planning on doing

today besides causing trouble?

Well, Julie's gonna show me around this ghost town.

So! That should take about... I don't know? 10 minutes.

Alright. Please be back by 4,

I have to go to work. Thank you.

C'mon sweetie let's go.

Ready, tiger?

- Bensonville, here we come.

Not quite Brooklyn, huh?

- Not quite.

So... Is that where you lived your whole life?

No! Actually I was born in Queens.

And the... we moved

to Philly (Philadelphia), Boston,

DC (Washington) and then back to Brooklyn.

Oh! And... I'd say... I think Jersey is

somewhere in there too. I don't really remember.

Do you even bother to unpack the boxes?

Yeah everytime. It's kinda like...

My mom always assure that the next move is

gonna be the last one. Type of thing... you know?

She seems nice.

- Yeah.

What about your dad?

- I don't have one.

Sorry.

"Rolic Gardens"?

Seriously. Can we go there?

I hate that place.

Besides, it's not open anyway.

Yeah... the weather's a little bipolar,

as you can see.

But other than that it's not that bad here.
