and they do it all over again.

Hey, mom.

I just wanted to let

you know that I'm okay.

Flap, flap, flap.

Flap like birds.

What are you doing?

Making crop circles?

Crop angels.

So tell me, Sterling,

what did you think of Davina

when you first met her?

Davina who?

Ow. Oh, that Davina?

Um,

I pretty much thought she was

the most beautiful girl

I've ever seen.

I thought, "this girl belongs"

inside of a fairy tale."

And was it love at first sight?

Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

You know,

they say only a virgin

can tame a unicorn.

Sounds like maybe it could be

the other way around.

Do you think we'll be happier

when we get there?

Where?

Anywhere but here.

[Davina humming]

What's that for?

Nothing.

[Upbeat song playing]

So have you decided yet?

What?

What you want to be

when you grow up.

What are you talking about?

I am grown up.

You know what I mean.

Um... hmm.

Well, I'm gonna go

on tour with my band.

I don't know. Make $100 million.

No big deal.

Maybe I can take

all your band photos.

[Imitates camera clicking]

Here you go, sweetie.

King me, babe.

How about I queen you instead?

Either way, you're going down.

Oh. All right, all right.

[Upbeat music playing]

Which of these girls

is not like the other?

Which of these girls

does not belong?

Which of them has

no sister or brother?

Which one of these girls

is just plain wrong?

it's electric...

[Disco song playing]

Come on.

you can't see it

it's electric

you've got to feel it

it's electric

ooh, it's shocking

it's electric

she's a-moving like electric,

she sure got the boogie

you've got to know it

it's electric,

boogie-woogie-woogie

and you can't hold it

it's electric,

boogie-woogie-woogie...

hey.

Come on.

Eww, your breath stinks.

That's not very nice.

What, you can't take the truth?

Well, you can be honest

without being rude.

Come on, you're just

being sensitive.

Well, you're just trying

to make me feel bad

so you'll feel better

about yourself.

What's that supposed to mean?

You're gonna end up

just like your father.

Hey, shut up.

- You're probably already just like him.

- Stop.

- You're just like him.

- Shut up.

What, are you gonna hit me?

I'm sorry.

I just get embarrassed

about things like that.

Want some gum?

Yeah, I want some gum.

[Davina] What do you

expect to find out there?

[Sterling] I don't know.

There's nothing but

endless telephone wires

stretched between towns.

[Davina] We can't keep

running forever, you know.

[Screeches]

[Davina] Circles made,

circles broken.

So much undone.

So much unspoken.

[Snorts]

Tshh, tshh!

Tshh!

[Imitates cymbals crashing]

'Morning, baby.

So,
