where you went wrong.

And work them out.

Good job, Jules, I could tell from

your work

that you even understood

the one you missed!

SUCK A DICK.

I like "Jules".

I just don't get why I'm not good

at math,

my Dad is really good at math.

Even Miguel has a math degree.

Maybe it's your mom's fault.

You lose! POINT JULIE!

No, look.

- Wish me luck.

- Luck.

Hey!

Wanna dance?

Hell, yeah!

Six inches for the Holy Spirit!

That's us!

Oh no, my Mom is coming.

- No, she's not.

- Yes, she is.

But the plan was sleepover at

my house

No. IT'S FINE.

Okay, bye.

Bye.

- Hey Matt.

- Girl.

Have you ever been

out of the country?

When I was little,

my dad had a job...

that took him to Brazil.

I remember from the pictures.

It's my dream to go,

oh I'm sorry.

No, no, you go.

I've never been out of the country.

It's my dream to go to Paris.

Paris.

That's why I'm taking French.

My mom said French wasn't useful.

It is, if you want to go to Paris.

I still don't know how to use those

rollers that you gave me.

Oh, it's so easy, so it's after they

heat up, you...

You take your hair and

twist the hair like this and...

Larry how long will this hold us.?

I don't know.

Well, somebody's gotta know. Can the

whole family go on Cobra,

even Miguel? What happens if

someone gets in an accident?

Ah the severance package I think

it expires all at once, not

within the calendar year...

Is she home?

Maybe just leave it tonight...

No, she knows better.

- She cannot sneak around like this...

- Marion.

Christine! You can't

leave your room like this!

I didn't.

None of these things were put

away right

They aren't nice,

CHRISTINE! NOW!

- My name is Lady Bird.

- Don't lie to me!

This uniform, this gonna look

like TRASH on Monday!

This isn't right. We can't treat

our clothes like this.

I don't know what your

wealthy friends do...

Why do you care what I do to my

clothes?

Your father does not have a job.

He lost his job.

Do you need him to come in

here and explain that to you?

Of course he probably wouldn't

anyway, he's Mr. Nice Guy.

And I always have to be the Bad Guy.

- Can we please talk about this tomorrow?

- You can't look like a rag

because

that makes us look like rags.

And you want to know the truth?

Here is the truth: some of

your friends' fathers...

could employ your father

and they are not gonna do it...

if it looks

like his family is trash.

You understand?

Didn't you ever go to sleep without

putting all your clothes away perfectly?

Like even once? And don't you wish

your Mom hadn't gotten angry?

My mother was an

abusive alcoholic.

So I understand you're not

interested in any Catholic colleges?
