All right, good talk, son.

You gotta get out of this funk.

Come here.

JAMIE:
Okay.

MATT:
Do your homework

and eat more vegetables.

And, uh, drink more water and exercise.

That's what your Uncle Matt says.

(SOFTLY) It's really good. It's really good.

(DOOR SHUTS)

He's my brother. What am I supposed to do?

OLIVIA:
You tuck him in.

ADAM:
Hey, guys. Look at the camera.

(CHILDREN GIGGLING)

- Look up at the camera and smile.

- JAMIE:
What the...

ADAM:
What do you think? Is that a butterfly?

- YOUNG JAMIE:
A butterfly!

- ADAM:
A butterfly?

Did Mommy make a big butterfly, too?

Great job too, Mommy.

(COMPUTER CHIMING)

Hey, I got your texts. All 20,000 of them.

I was worried that on your way home

from the airport

you got trapped under a burning car.

- Can I ask you a question?

- Yeah, go for it.

Do you see us staying together?

I mean, like, past senior year.

Yeah.

I mean, I think so. Do you?

Yeah.

Babe, what's going on?

Nothing. I don't want to talk about it.

Talk about what?

Babe, what's going on?

Do you think

even when people die

they could still judge you for your mistakes?

Baby, are you talking about your mom?

It's been six years.

All right? What would she judge you for?

I gotta go.

Come on, I miss you,

and you're freaking me out.

Talk to me. Like, did I do something?

Did I screw up? Say something wrong?

No. No, it's not you. I just...

- Yeah, I gotta go.

- Jame.

(COMPUTER CHIMES)

Does she know I'm 35 grand deep?

No, I'd be a dead man.

- Thirty five grand?

- Look, don't...

Jesus, even the rich are poor.

Here, man, it sounds like

you need this more than I do.

Oh.

Oh, God, it's like we're back in senior year.

Where'd you get this sh*t anyway?

Same guy we got it from in senior year.

- No.

- No, I'm not kidding, man.

- Dirk, he's a lifer.

- No.

All right, I'm going to arrive

around the corner. Watch out.

There's a guy right there.

(SCREECHING OVER HEADPHONES)

What the hell?

Okay, sorry, I'm back, guys.

Oh, come on. That's bull crap.

Jame?

Yeah?

Just wanted to see if you're okay.

Yeah, I'm okay.

Listen, I...

We shouldn't have gone in your room

without your permission.

It was stupid of me.

I know this transition's been rough.

And the last thing you need is someone

invading your privacy.

All right. Good night.

JAMIE:
Night, Dad.

Hey.

Five more minutes, then the game

goes off and the teeth get brushed.

- DJ:
Can it be ten?

- ADAM:
Five.

Sh*t.

Maybe I've been trying to change too much.

I'm just afraid

I'm never gonna connect with her.

Stop it.

You're just feeling each other out.

Besides, you got lucky.
