That way, you can look at Sunflowers any time you want.

Come on, kid.

Jesus, Fred! What do you think you're doin'?

- I was just... - You were just gonna walk into the street!

You know better than that. You always look first.

Who can tell me how many of these numbers are divisible by two?

Anybody?

- Fred! - Hm?

I know that you can tell me how many of these numbers are divisible by two.

Um... All of 'em.

Hey, check it out.

I thought we could make our own invitations, huh?

- Invitations for what? - For your birthday party.

Why don't we just go to McDonald's like we did last year? That was fun.

Oh, yeah? Fun for whom? You threw up all over me, remember?

I had to burn my favourite shirt cos of you. Stinky!

- The mail's here. - Let's see if your chain letter paid off.

What have you got? The phone bill, gas bill, water bill.

- Throw this one away. - How come?

We left 'em a deposit. They can just take it out of that.

Fair enough.

So, what do you want for your birthday this year?

- Nothing. - Nothing?

Oops.

How about one of those Lego things? Hey, what's the matter with the toaster?

Nothing. I was fixing it.

Fixing means to repair something that is broken.

Not to break something that works just fine the way it is.

We'll get some hot dogs. Ice cream and cake. Pin the tail on the donkey, huh?

It's next Saturday at o'clock at my apartment.

Give me that. Hey!

- Come on, guys!

Many gifted children go through some period of existential depression.

Pain of the mind can often be worse than pain of the body.

There is some ground for belief that genius is touched with madness.

No! Dede! Dede! Dede!

Hey. Hey, hey, hey. Ssh.

It's OK.

Did you wake up in another painting?

- Cortin. - Cortin, huh?

Hm.

I don't really know his work. Cortin?

It's a secretion that comes from some gland.

I forget which one.

It can turn a little kid into an old man, Dede.

Oh, yeah? You don't seem to be secreting anything now.

I tell you what, though.

Tomorrow, after your birthday...

...we'll go to the library and we'll look it up, OK?

What about work?

Don't worry about work.

All right? Try and get some sleep. You ain't been sleepin' enough lately.

- I can't. - You can't, huh?

- You wanna do shadows? - OK.

All right, we'll do shadows here.

All right.

Mm. How about that one right up there?

It's kinda pointy, see that one?

A man and a boy in a clipper ship.
