to the museum, for ideas.

Yeah.

Sorry, I knew you were bored.

I guess I should give you back

this one then.

You took it?

I've been looking everywhere for it.

Well, you fell asleep clutching it.

I feel like crawling under a rock.

What do you mean? Why?

I was going to give it to you

anyway.

Well, maybe you'll be

famous someday.

...and it'll make me a lot of money.

Don't count on it.

You're doing my essay

and everything.

So, I thought that I'd model for you.

Model for me?

Yeah.

You asked what was in it for you.

And I thought,

yeah, I'd model for you.

Right now?

Why not?

Or did you just want to wait

until I fall asleep...

...and you can pull

the covers off again?

You're not pissed?

No, I think it's

kind of funny, actually.

Is this okay?

Yeah.

Just don't move.

Okay, Michelangelo.

Do your stuff.

I wish you could see

how beautiful you look right now.

Wow. Nobody's ever said that

to me before.

I really want to kiss you.

Say something.

It's the weed.

Just do it.

F***ing do it then.

What?

You want to or not?

Yeah, but...

I've never kissed anybody before.

What?

You're f***ing kidding me.

Nobody?

Ready.

Well?

It was all right.

No fireworks?

It was all right.

Come on.

Get some sleep.

I can't.

The room is spinning.

Turn off the lights.

It's still spinning.

It's the weed.

Boy, that Carter sure is dedicated.

Does that kid ever sleep?

So, he leaves today, right?

Yes.

What's the matter?

Didn't you guys get along?

Yeah. Sure.

I was just distracted

having him around.

Napkin, please.

Thank you.

You're worried about something.

What is it?

My SATs.

I know they're okay...

...but if I get a portfolio review

and get accepted...

I'm going to need a scholarship.

Well, not necessarily.

We can work something out.

There are student loans.

I hear they send people

to cut you off at the knees.

...if you don't pay them back.

- You're something.

- It's true.

They wait until you're really old,

like 30...

...and in debt

and can't make the rent...

...then they want it all back

with 150 percent interest.

All right. That's enough.

- You're better off with a loan shark.

- Cut it out. That's enough.

You worry so much.

Wherever you go,

you're going to major in fine art.

I'm behind you.

You know that?

I'm not going to some crappy,

two-year community college, Mom.

I'm not.

Well, what's all this?

- Hi.

- Hi.

Did you just finish?

Your hair is still wet.

Yeah.

So, it looks like you've been busy.

Yeah, I've been drawing all day.

But don't worry.

I'll still get to your essay.

Yeah, about that.

Um...

Look, I'll tell you what.

I'll come get it, okay?

Okay.

Listen, this is going to sound
