to figure out whether or not I wanna sell it.

[indistinct chatter on TV]

You're such a doll.

[sighs heavily]

[screams]

- Tag!

- [giggling excitedly]

[instrumental music playing]

Gary, how come you never got married?

I don't know.

Never met the right girl, I suppose.

Oh.

What about you? You ever have a boyfriend?

No.

- Nothing that serious.

- "Nothing that serious"?

What do you mean? Like

you've never been in love?

Like not hooking up.

You never?

What is that, like it's no big deal?

Do you even know how much a stamp costs?

Like, 50 cents?

In 1968, the US postal

stamp cost a man five cents.

That doesn't mean anything to you, does it?

Not really.

We have to do a better job of

understanding the world around us.

Don't do that. Jesse does that.

- Does what?

- Says "we" when you mean "me."

You're right.

You haven't hooked up with

a boy yet, have you, Tommie?

Because it's a big deal.

Do you understand?

There.

The year I was born is

now on your beautiful head.

["Am I a Good Man" playing]

Memorize this.

You'll wish you were back here one day.

You'll wonder about the old

guy who drove you around,

showing you so much beauty in the world.

I know it's not for just one week, Gary.

Don't say that. It's not true.

I know you had to say that

or we would've never left.

Imagine being a truck driver.

Seeing a man like me and a girl like you,

talking about things. What do

you think that they would think?

I guess they would think

some guy and his kid.

If they were to ask you, would you

be able to look them in the eyes

and tell them that's what we are?

- Sure.

- Okay.

"Hey, kid, who's that guy you're with?"

That guy? Him?

You mean my dad?

Good.

You could be an actress.

Thanks.

That wasn't a compliment.

[sighs]

[sighs gruffly]

Brush your teeth.

Let me turn the bed down for you.

Turn down the bed?

Yeah.

You're the kind of girl who deserves someone

to turn down the bed for you every night.

This is like my grandma's.

Are you getting homesick?

No.

A little.

It's good.

If we're gonna be partners, we have

to be square with one another, right?

Right.

[door opens]

[door closes]

Are you just a little bedbug?

Delectable pizza.

[sighs]

- Did you brush your teeth?

- Yes.

Good.

It's my job.

Make sure you're taking care of yourself.

You're sweet.

Look at you, you are a perfect person.

You know, age 11 is the

perfect age to be a young girl
