It's the end of the month.

They're out of toilet-seat covers.

- Blane, what are you doing?

- Hey, buddy. Nothin'. Hangin' out.

- What are you shopping for? Records?

- I guess.

- Find anything?

- No, not really.

Are we gonna shoot some trap or

what? If we are, we gotta shake it.

I don't have any place to go. I like

coming here. Excuse me very much.

OK. I'm sorry for getting mad at you.

I gotta get back. See you later.

This is a shitty alarm system! I opened

the door five times before it rang.

That's it! I'm leaving.

I'm not gonna stay here. No! No way!

Hi. It's 6.05. Duckie Dale. Give me a call.

Andie, where are you? This is the Duck.

Give me a call, OK?

It's 6.28...

Please call. Please, please, please.

This is Duckie. Are you really home

and not picking up?

Cos if so, I feel like

a giant a**hole here.

It's 6.31. Give me a call, OK?

Duckie, I'll talk to you

in the morning. Bye.

- Why are you up? I didn't wake you yet.

- I'm fixing you breakfast.

One egg over medium,

and I fed the dog.

- Did Daddy feed you, hm?

- Your egg, madame.

I don't eat eggs, Daddy.

Why don't you eat it?

- I'll bring you your coffee and juice.

- OK.

- Since when don't you like eggs?

- Since about birth. Don't worry about it.

- You never told me why you were up.

- It's morning.

You mean why didn't you

have to drag my ass out of bed?

OK.

Well, I got a job.

- No?

- Yeah.

- Where?

- Well, I'll tell you after I start.

- When's that?

- Soon.

- I'm so proud of you. You got the job.

- No big deal.

Yes, it is a big deal.

It's a very big deal.

Listen, I gotta go.

I'm gonna be late for school.

- Tell me all about it tonight.

- All right. It'll be real good.

Hi, guys.

- How you doin'?

- Fine. You?

I'm OK. And you?

- Well, I just said I was fine.

- Oh, yeah. Sorry.

- So, is this your first time out here?

- Yeah.

I don't think I'm very popular

out here either.

I dunno. You're just fine inside.

I don't know. I'm not really

into all this sh*t, you know?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I really liked your computer trick.

- Clever, huh?

- Terribly clever, yeah. Terribly.

- Are you late for something?

- Yeah, I am, as a matter of fact.

But it's no big deal.

Listen, do you wanna go out Friday?

Yeah.

- Yeah?

- Sure.

Yeah? OK!

- Seven o'clock OK?

- Yeah, that's fine.

Great. Where do you live?

I'll pick you up.

- Where do you live?

- No, I'm sorry.

I'll be working on Friday,

so just pick me up at the mall.

- OK.

- OK.

- Bye.

- See you.

Hey, Blane. How you doin'?

Hey, buddy. What's up?

- What are you up to?

- Not much, going to class.

Well, I saw you outside.

- So?

- So, what were you doing?

What are you? My mother?
