And to the republic

for which it stands,

one nation under God,

indivisible,

with liberty

and justice for all.

All right, everyone.

It is quiz time.

You excited?

No!

Oh, boy.

- Not at all.

- No.

Did anyone

do the reading last night?

Absolutely not.

Mm-hmm.

Actually, I read it twice.

Okay.

Okay, after we, uh,

take the quiz,

we'll go over the practice A.P.

essays from last week.

Please pass these down.

Oh, sure.

Lanie, if you would

pass these down.

Were the essays any better

this time?

They were, actually.

I was very impressed.

Good.

All right. So...

There are four questions

on the quiz.

A few sentences each,

please.

So, about a half a page?

Yes.

Right.

Five lines, or should we do six lines?

Let's just say

half a page, all right?

Smart-ass.

Okay, it's 8:
20 now,

so at 8:
30,

you may use your books.

At 8:
40, pencils down.

Please begin.

Lanie, I love you.

Can I borrow a book, please?

You may.

Thank you.

Ah.

Oh.

Oh.

Ugh.

That was horrible.

Yeah, it's the worst.

Who are you texting?

What?

Who was that?

Who was that?

Nothing.

Did I see the name Eric?

Nope.

Have I met Eric?

Nope.

And...

He's nothing.

Uh-huh.

Where did you meet Eric?

Ooh.

At school.

Nice. Very nice.

Mmm.

Have you seen the girls?

Hello, madam.

Oh. Hello.

Um... shall we?

Later, gator.

Where you going?

Hi.

Hi.

Oh, my God.

When I was in high school,

I used to go to have sex

with my boyfriend in his car,

and I'd tell my mom that I

was going to get ice cream.

Then I'd come back

a couple hours later...

with my hair all fucked up.

I can't believe...

She must have known.

She never seemed to know.

I should go.

Hey, when do you get back?

Uh, tomorrow.

Night, I think.

Late?

Um, yeah.

I can't wait.

Okay, everyone.

Have a fantastic

Thanksgiving.

Don't forget to do your reading.

Catch up to chapter nine.

All right.

Thanks for the advice.

Have a great Thanksgiving.

You too.

And what can I

do for you?

Would you also like

to start a club?

Maybe the make-out club?

Shh.

When are you leaving for Houston?

Tomorrow.

Hmm.

Call me later?

I will.

Bye, Miss Watts.

Have a happy Thanksgiving.

You too, Mr. Tull.

Yeah. I've got one

in the mix this time.

- She's a good student.

- What are you all whispering about?

Oh, we're talkin' about those kids who got

busted smoking weed in the parking lot.

Yeah, and the girl Hayley?

She's in my A.P. Comp class.

Her mom's just gonna

bail her out anyway, so...

Well, yeah, she might. Hey, we're

gonna go for a drink after work.

- You wanna come with us?

- Oh, my brother's in town.

I promised him I'd

meet him for a drink, so...

You never mentioned you

had a brother. I know.

I'll see you guys later. Have a

good break. Yeah, you too.

See you.

Thanks.

Hey, Diana. It's Hunter.

Uh, I'm gonna be in Austin

for a meeting.

I know it's been a long time,

but, uh, we need to

talk about Mom.

Um, you can't

just avoid this forever.

Okay? Call me.

Di.

Hunter.

Hey.

So how's everything?

It's good.

Mom's good too.

She doesn't always recognize me,

but, uh,

she asks about you.

I'm worried about you.

Okay.

Look, I just, um...

You need to know...

You know, I'm really...

It was really nice of you to call.

Hang on. This has been really fun,

but I've got to go now.

You can get that. I'm sure you

can expense it or something.

Sure.

I don't wanna go.

I just wanna stay here.

Just stay the night. Leave early in

the morning before Dad gets up.

I don't mean right now.

I mean this.

Us.

Hmm.

I'm trying to

tell you something.

Okay. What did you
