The Glass House Page #2

Hey, Rubes, check out this view.

Yeah, it's pretty amazing.

-Cool, a meteorite!

-It's art, Rhett.

Give them the tour.

Stall them, I'll order dinner.

Let's get the lay of the land.

Master suite.

Home gym.

-Home theater.

-Sweet.

-You never have to leave home.

-If only.

Vicki comes in most days.

-Hola, ninos.

-Hola.

Hello!

This is your room.

It's temporary quarters, of course.

Unpack, get settled,

and I'll meet you in the kitchen.

We're sharing a room?

Glance at me when I'm changing

and you're busted.

We have a little calamari,

a little risotto with mushrooms...

...and green salad with

some Swiss chard.

-Do you have any Garfield?

-What is that?

-It's crap in a can.

-If it's crap, how come you eat it?

-Come on, kids. Try the calamari.

-Isn't that squid?

-Honey, tonight...

-I'll call Domino's.

Thank you.

Can you turn and face the wall?

Who are you, the Blair Witch?

I'm worse. Just face the wall.

Turn that stupid thing off!

There's public school,

then there's public school.

Trust me, there won't be any

Bloods or Crips.

I'm not scared of getting gunned down.

-You're a great kid-

-It's not about being great.

-It's about being...

-New?

Middle-of-the-year new.

There's a saying we teach

the Pain Ward patients.

"This too shall pass. "

This too shall pass.

This too shall pass.

Hi.

Why don't you take

a seat in the back?

We have a new addition.

Would you introduce yourself,

Miss Baker?

You just did.

Hi.

I'm Ruby Baker.

I used to go to Shady Lane.

That's in the Valley.

Not my choice,

just an accident of birth.

How come you moved here?

It was another accident.

Let's make Ruby feel welcome.

Thanks for the lift.

Sweet!

I can't believe it!

Like one of those isn't noisy enough?

No, Rubes. You can't play

"Pokmon Snap" on PlayStation.

You can play "Ape Escape,"

but not on N-64.

Mom and Dad would freak out.

Don't talk about them.

I haven't seen one girl

with blue-black hair.

The guys surf and swim all day.

That sun-worshiping culture.

That sounds hot.

I checked my pager all day.

I figured you'd call and you didn't.

Cell phones are banned at school.

The kids don't care.

They can't see they

lost their liberties.

They have so much sunstroke,

they're wasted.

Ruby?

I got us an assortment

of different things.

Some cold pastas, some salads.

Ruby, I think that you'd be

well-served by a better attitude.

It's okay. I don't mind take-out.

You're busy.

It's not from Wendy's.

I meant your attitude

toward your new school.

-My attitude?

-I overheard your conversation.

You were listening in?

No, I was trying to get a line out,

but that's beside the point.

The point is, you need those
