in summer camp.

How can you be afraid?

It's just water.

I just told you.

Yeah? Well, that's bullshit.

Don't you know we're mostly

made up of water anyway?

You showed up

at one science class.

Big deal.

Oh, right. 'Cause jocks

can't know anything.

There you go again

with those stereotypes.

Come on, get in.

No. I don't have a bathing suit.

Are you nuts?

What are you so uptight about?

There's nobody here.

If you make me toss you in here...

...you'll have to walk all the way home

in your wet clothes.

Not so bad, huh?

Why are you making me do this?

Don't!

One, two...

- What are you doing?

- Relax.

Relax. I've got you.

Lean back.

Lean back.

Breathe.

Bet you're not thinking

about drowning now, are you?

I'm hungry.

How about you?

How are you supposed to catch up

if you don't open a book?

I can't read that sh*t anymore.

I can feel my heart beat

in my eyeballs.

See? You're working a new set

of muscles you never used before.

Jeez. There are

those stereotypes again.

You know,

your narrow-minded attitude.

...is getting rather dull, dude.

Besides,

why should I even bother?

I'll be gone in six months anyway.

Why?

I don't know.

The old man falls off the wagon.

Everything's good for a minute or two

and then he starts drinking again.

I don't know. We just seem

to wind up someplace else.

It's okay, though.

You meet all kinds.

You just learn not to get

too attached, you know?

That's so sad.

Life's tough, dude.

People just don't take

one look at each other.

...and fall in love

and live happily ever after.

Real life isn't Shakespeare.

You don't think it's possible?

No.

You?

Yeah, I do.

I like to think that I do.

Then write this essay.

For a kiss on the cheek?

Do you think I'm stupid?

That wasn't for that.

What was it for then?

Just being friendly.

I thought you might like it.

Well, not exactly milk and cookies,

but it gets the job done.

Otherwise, I'd be up all night.

Good night, kid.

Good night.

I bet you liked it.

You liked it

when I kissed you on the cheek.

You liked that sh*t.

You know, I can tell

you're looking at me right now.

F***ing little pervert.

You're going to pretend

to go to sleep.

But you're going to lie there

all night thinking about me.

Stop playing games with me.

- Write it.

- No.

You want to suck my dick?

You are a jock a**hole.

Wrong answer.

Now you can just lie there all night.

...and think about

what you should have said instead.

What time is it?

Did I oversleep?

No, it's early, honey.

Where's Carter?

Oh, he went swimming.

You want some breakfast?

Mm.

What are you looking for?

- I lost a sketch.

- Oh.

Bacon and eggs.

Say, Mom, what do you know
