The Last Song Page #2

Hey, Ronnie?

Get me a drink?

Is there something wrong

with your legs?

I'll get it for you.

I'm sorry. Are we boring you?

I just don't drink.

It's like a...

"just say no thing"?

Because you could just say yes.

Stop it.

Don't ever touch me, ever again.

Sorry.

Jeez.

I'm going to bed.

Before I get completely grossed out,

you should know I'm in here.

- Get out of my room!

- This is our room.

OK? If you want to sleep in Dad's room,

that's fine.

- Hey, Ron?

- What?

Don't get mad, OK?

Can you just be a little nicer to Dad?

I just really don't

want to lose him again.

Did you see his face

when he saw you here?

He was so excited.

Jonah, you never lost Dad, OK?

You never lost him,

and you never will. I promise.

- Ronnie, can I talk to you?

- Sure.

- Where were you?

- Out.

Well, it's almost 1:00, so...

You don't have to wait up for me.

I'm not 12.

I wasn't worried about you

when you were 12.

And now you are?

If you're gonna be here,

you have to...

I don't want to be here, Dad.

That's just it.

I don't want to be here.

Is that not obvious?

Do you not get that?

Yeah. Let's make the best of it, OK?

Are you gonna play?

Are you going to play? Because

if you are, I'm sleeping outside.

- Hey, congratulations on Juilliard.

- Why? I'm not going.

- That would be a mistake.

- Well,

you and Mom would know about those.

- I've learned from the best.

- That's enough!

Damn it, that's enough!

- It's OK, Jonah.

- I'm sorry, Jonah. Go back to sleep.

I'll be there in a minute.

If you're pissed at me and...

you wanna hurt me, fine, hurt me.

Be mad, be angry,

but don't stop playing.

It's stupid, Ronnie.

It really is, and you're too talented.

Are we done?

Let's go, Ronnie!

- Thanks.

- How about that?

Ronnie, hey.

It's a new day.

Look, let's start over.

I got bacon here, got breakfast.

Vegetarian, Dad.

- Since when?

- A year and a half.

Must have found a turtle's nest.

I'm not going near it. Must be sick

or something if it's out in the daytime.

Sure is enjoying those eggs.

What? No, no, no, no!

No!

Oh, my God.

She's losing it, Dad.

Big time.

A sea turtle laid eggs.

The raccoons will eat them

if I don't keep them away.

Really?

When a female lays her eggs,

the raccoons smell them and...

They'll eat every one if they can.

This Web site told me

to call the aquarium...

and see if I could get someone

to come here and protect them,

- but my battery's dead.

- There's a number to the aquarium...

on the wall by the phone. Honestly,

I don't know how they'll improve on...

On that.

Hey! Veronica!

No, Ronnie, it's fantastic. I like it.

You're overreacting!

- Hey, Dad, can we fly a kite today?
