thinking about letters recently.

The real kind. Longhand.

And how it's terrible that

nobody's writing them anymore.

And so I decided to start

one to you, today.

Now, you're doing what?

Seeing if I can build a greenhouse.

She's very into roses.

Each color means

something different, you know?

Yeah. Well, they all kind of mean,

I'm a guy who cries over chick flicks

and sleeps with stuffed animals.

I'm not here.

Hey. I'm Lindy.

Hi. Will. A pleasure.

I, uh... heard the game.

- You a Rangers fan?

- Die-hard.

I knew it. Guys' gal.

Guys' gal.

- Why don't you join me?

- Thanks.

Sure.

What's with all the tools?

Uh, it's Hunter's thing.

It's a structure on the roof.

Structure for what?

You ever see the 1954

Devil Girl from Mars flick,

where they abduct virginal

teenage girls for breeding stock?

I'm just... It's a joke-joke. Sorry.

I haven't gotten out much.

I'm losing my social graces.

Rewind.

Hi. Will. Pleasure.

The building books

belong to Hunter,

an all-around, way-good guy

who's contemplating building

a greenhouse.

- A greenhouse?

- Yeah.

Rad.

Right?

Very funny.

So are we gonna, like, really meet?

- Like, now?

- No.

Okay.

You lived here your whole life?

No. Pretty recently.

I was living with my dad,

but he's the kinda guy

who can't really deal...

I wouldn't know anything about that.

And your mom?

Mine's dead. I never knew her.

So... no mom... Screwed-up dad.

It's too bad

we have nothing in common.

What's with the Korean TV?

You speak Korean?

- Fluently.

- Oh, really?

What are they saying?

"Bon Appetit."

She didn't say "Bon Appetit."

Oh, you speak Korean too?

I don't like to show off, but yes.

And Koreans do not say

Bon Appetit.

She said the Korean equivalent.

Which is what?

I hope you have a big appetite

such that you scarf food

and hurl chunks.

No that's the subjunctive.

I'll take Mom,

you take Perm Boy.

Game on.

So what's she saying now?

I love you, but when it comes to hair,

you are a clueless wonder

I can tell you for a fact

that is not what she said.

What Mom said was...

Hope Will isn't

your Korean teacher.

Do you, uh... do you miss school?

Like a natural-born wonk.

Cause, uh... I have classes

if you want to come.

Yes. I'd love to

- Tomorrow?

- Sure.

Well, great.

I guess good night then.

Hold up.

Pretty gruesome, huh?

I've seen worse.

We're having school today,

but you need to make it

seem like we didnt just start

a-and I need to look smart.

Lindy's coming.

Shut up. What're we studying?

Don't worry, I'll come up with

something graphic and humiliating.

No-No-No.

I need to know what it is now.

I need the answers in advance.

That's called cheating.
