Dad.

- Just look. Don't touch it. Dad.

- Rach.

- I can't. You're moving it around.

- Okay, don't touch it. Just look at it.

It's gonna get infected.

- No, it won't.

- Yes, it's gonna get infected.

No, it won't.

When it's ready,

my body will just push it out.

- Push it out, huh?

- I read that.

You should get TiVo.

- Tim got it for my room.

- TiVo?

It's awesome.

I can watch all my shows

after homework.

Yeah, I'll just put it

on my platinum card.

Robbie?

Robbie.

What is that?

Hummus.

- Hummus?

- From the health-food place.

Kept one of their menus

last time we were here.

You said order.

I meant order food.

Where is Robbie?

- He went out.

- Out where?

I don't know.

He just took your car and left.

Who said that? Who's there?

It's the clam burglar.

Steven, look at this.

- What's up?

- Check it out!

You ever see something like that?

Springtime, maybe.

Not this time of year.

Come on, we can see better

from the back yard.

You gotta come see this!

- That is so weird.

- What?

The wind is blowing

toward the storm.

That is weird.

Hey, watch it!

Rachel,

you wanna see something cool?

It's okay.

- I wanna go inside.

- It's okay.

I wanna go inside.

Okay, you go ahead.

That's enough weather for me.

Don't wanna go by myself.

It's kind of fun, isn't it?

- Come on, like the Fourth of July.

- No, it's not.

- O, say can...

It's okay. You're fine.

- It hit right behind our house.

- Yeah, well, it's...

It's not gonna hit there again, okay,

Is Robbie okay?

Are you okay?

Where's the thunder?

Is it over?

Where are you going?

Just... I'm just checking things out.

- Are we gonna be okay?

- I don't know.

- You don't know?

- No, I meant, I just... Just...

You believe this, Ray?

Every single car.
