Lucia wasn't surprised|that Matt had been screwing around.

And that Jason kid had been in her|homeroom for two years...

so she knew what he was like.

After high school,|he went up to Chicago...

and became one|of those "Act Up" people...

who think AIDS is this big|conspiracy against homos.

Maybe it is, who knows? All I know|is it isn't working.

There seem to be more of them than|ever before, you know what I mean?

They're tricky.

Anyway, Bill tried to convince her|it was all a bluff.

You put yourself through this, you're|gonna give yourself a heart attack.

Face it, he's going to ruin you.

He's just trying to scare me. He's|angry. Matt dumped him, too.

I don't know how you do it. You're|always so nice and so good.

Tom was like that, too. It's|depressing.

You're nice.

That's how I always felt|around you two...

Like the Baroness|in "The Sound of Music."'

Everyone else is off singing and|climbing an alp...

and I just want to stuff that|guitar up that nun's ass and...

Oh, my god...

That little creep went|to the police. I told you.

Hey, Lucia, how are you?

Hi, Bill. Got a minute?

Sure, Carl. What's up? See you|tomorrow.

- I can stay.|- Actually, Lucia, it's business.

Actually, Carl, it's fine.

Here's the deal. I got this stupid|thing I'm checking out.

Do you know a Jason Bock?

Yep, I met him Tuesday.

He says when he was a student here|four years ago, you molested him.

I never liked the looks of this kid,|but I gotta do something.

Why?

I haven't told Walter yet.

But you'll have to. He's the|principal, it's state law.

There you go. Good job, Carl.

There's something else.

He filed a missing person's report|on Matt. Do you know where he is?

No, I don't.

This Jason creep said something|about a sister.

They left me a note,|but I don't know where it is anymore.

- Where does that put us?|- Well, I don't know.

You let me know as soon as you hear|from either of them.

You haven't asked me if it's true,|if I molested him.

Because he knows that you didn't.

I'd like to send him some place they|will, for about five to ten.

It might put some sense into him.

Only if his brains are in his ass.

That strikes me as fairly likely.

You take care.

We'll keep this quiet as long as|possible.

It's nice to see you again, Lucia.|It's been a long time.

Only about a year, Carl.

Since the funeral, remember?|Remember Nancy's funeral?

Good night. We'll talk tomorrow.

This is why I hate people.

You always want to know why, well,|take it in.

Are you a lesbian?

No. You are all a**holes.

Jennifer Oakes, is that you?

Hi, Miss Dalury. Any comment on the|charges against William Truitt?

And I wrote you a letter of|recommendation.

Did you know about this?
