and all the people are gonna

be coming in from the beach

and we're gonna get really busy.

(BELL JINGLING)

- Katie!

Your paint's here.

I had this extra can of primer in the back.

I thought maybe you might want

to put that down before

you put the paint down.

Oh, yeah, right.

I didn't even think about that.

Let me grab my keys.

I'll give you a lift.

- No, I'll be... I'm fine.

- You're gonna walk

- all the way back with the cans?

- Yeah.

- Are you...?

- Yep. I'm good.

WOMAN:
(ON STEREO)

What you been doing in there?

BOY:
Nothing.

WOMAN:
Nothing? Look at your hands

and look at your mouth.

- What is that truck?

BOY:
- I don't know, Aunt.

ALEX:
- It's Mark Twain.

WOMAN:
- Well, I know.

The kids love it.

I can't complain.

You know, it could be worse.

It could be Slayer.

I got Slayer in here.

Why don't we listen to that instead?

- No, this is good.

- OK.

MAN:
The switch hovered in the air.

The peril was desperate.

ALEX:
All right.

- You can just leave it there.

- No, I can run it up to...

No, no, no, really, it's fine.

- Thank you. Just...

- OK. I'll just leave it right there.

- See ya.

- Bye.

Yeah.

Oh, wait, wait, I got...

...some other stuff

you might need just in case.

Some tape, sandpaper, scrapers,

things like that.

Just tape around, sand it down before

you put the primer... you know what to do.

- All right.

KATIE:
- Thanks.

Yep.

(SIGHS)

MAN:
(ON STEREO) He surveyed

the fence, and all gladness left him.

And a deep melancholy

settled down upon his spirit.

JO:
I like this color.

It's brightening up the place.

KATIE:
Yeah, I like it.

So, you think you're

gonna stay in town for a while?

Yeah, we'll see.

ALEX:
- All right, have a good one.

MAN:
- Thank you, Alex.

Well, what you got there?

Did you leave this

outside my house last night?

Maybe.

I can't take it.

(STAMMERS)

Well, it was just sitting in my shed.

It's OK, I don't have any use for it.

You know what? I just...

I don't appreciate you coming

in the middle of the night to my house.

And I know this is a nice gesture,

but I just... I can't accept it.

- So, um...

- I don't understand.

- It's not a big deal. It's just a bike.

- I know.

- I see you walking back and forth...

- I didn't ask for it
