- Dad.

- Then he put it back Without-

- Hey, I'm sorry to interrupt.

I'm going to the store to grab

a few things for the house.

Do you need anything?

- No.

Whatever you get is fine.

Thanks.

- Cool.

Can I take your car?

- It's dead.

- Oh.

Uh, I could jump it for you.

- No, I want to keep it

like that.

- Why?

- So I don't leave.

. Okay"

Um, what are you listening to?

- Some book on tape.

Some Western

I found in the house.

- [chuckles]

- What?

- Just you listening

to a book on tape.

- It's well-written.

- So what,

like Cormac McCarthy?

- I don't know what his name is,

but it's good.

It's-their life was simple

and just ponced around

on your horse

and bossed cows around

and looked out for snakes.

- [laughing]

- It was easy.

What are you laughing at?

- I'm just admiring

your glasses.

- Listen, Max,

I can wear what I want

and read what I like.

Okay?

I've earned it.

- I was just saying.

- Not like your dilettante

hipster mates

with their skinny jeans

and their skinny ties, and-

- You don't know my friends.

- That whole scene.

- I don't really have a scene.

- It's like an anti-scene

scene thing.

- Fine, whatever.

I have a scene.

Whatever, man.

I'm gonna go to the store.

Just text me

if you need anything.

- Yeah, I'll text you.

- Canteen and shook it,

then he put it back

without unscrewing it.

He stared out over the mesa

and saw a three-day walk,

maybe more.

[ethereal music]

II:

- Hey, dude.

- Hey.

Hey, if you know the Liverpool

score, don't say anything, okay?

I'm watching

the game right now.

- I don't.

I was gonna Watch it

later with my dad.

- Nice.

So how's it going?

- Yeah, it's-it's good.

What are you up to?

Did you end up getting that job?

- There was a lot

of stiff competition.

It's politics, you know.

Have you asked him yet?

- No, not yet, dude.

Like, you know, he's so

crazy busy with work,

and he's-you know,

so he's all stressed out.

- Oh, tell him I get it.

It's a f***ing epidemic

in this country.

- Yeah, so I mean, there hasn't

really been a good moment,

but I don't know.

I'll let you know,

like, as soon as I do it.

- Sounds good, man.

[rhythmic tapping]

. HEY-

What is that?

- Raccoon trap.

- That's for a raccoon?

- Yep.

It's for the predators, Max.

- The raccoons

are out of control.

We set up eight traps

in different locations,

and then as we catch them, I'll

deport them across the Hudson.

I made maps for Len and I

of where they're placed.

I could make you one, too,

if you want.

- Oh, yeah.

No, um...

l-l'll share with my dad.

Thanks, yeah.

Hey, what happened

to your eye?

- Nothing.

Wrestling in gym class.

Are you coming

to Len's speech tomorrow?
