I didn't know that.

Your Uncle Walter is a

group leader in W Division.

W?

But today's lab is equally

involved in health,

medicine, energy,

and environmental research.

- Mom?

- Excuse me a minute.

I'll take care of this.

Mom?

Mom!

The baby looked very much

like a mouse in every way.

He was only about

two inches high

and he had

a mouse's sharp nose...

I can't believe

you design weapons.

Yeah, it's my job, Davey.

It's your job?

That's it?

I do my best

to help protect us.

To keep us safe.

We all want to be safe,

don't we?

Don't we?

Safe?

Is that a joke?

Before he was many days old,

he was not only

looking like a mouse,

but acting like one too.

He was wearing a gray hat

and carrying a small case...

Just me!

Your mom loved cocoa

with marshmallows

when she was a little girl.

She was afraid of the dark.

So I used to tell her

bedtime stories.

Sometimes, I would pretend

like she was my baby

instead of my sister.

Uhm, you know that

your mom is seriously stressed

and Walter and I don't think

she should leave

until she's feeling better.

We feel responsible for you.

Now, Jason is eager

to go to school,

so tomorrow I'm taking

him over to Aspen.

It's a very good

elementary school.

All of our schools

are very, very good.

And then I'm going

to take you over

and register

at the high school.

School?

No, I, uh, I'm not going

to school here.

Davey, please don't make this

harder than it has to be.

You've missed

a lot of school already,

and your mom

needs time to heal.

Well, how much time?

Well, as long as it takes.

How am I supposed

to go to school here,

if I don't know how

long I have to stay?

What does that have

to do with it?

Everything.

It's what we're doing...

Good night.

Okay, guys.

So today we're going

to talk about how this novel

changed our ideas on

traditional storytelling...

Now, what I want you to do

is think about the actions

of these characters

and ask yourself why.

Why they made

the decisions they made.

Come on in.

How are you doing?

What do we got?

We've got Davis Wexler...

- Everyone calls me Davey.

- Davey. Sure. Welcome.

So... Tony Morrison's Beloved.

That's what we're reading.

- Have you read it?

- No.

Alright, well we can get you

a copy after class.

From someone who actually

knows what's going on in here.

I always know what's going on.

But I think in this case

Davey should go with... Jane.

Jane, raise you hand for me.

- That would be Jane.

- Okay.

Alright, guys...

Hi.

That's why my parents

named me Jane.

What do you mean?

You know, that whole

Davis and Davey thing.

I mean with a simple name like

Jane, nobody's ever confused.

I'm used to it.
