Hi, Tulsa.

Stay with me.

- Why?

Because misery loves company.

- What are you miserable?

Just Dealing with basic people at school.

Everybody is always fronting.

Nobody is ever real, you know.

My best friend is not even real.

- Tell me about it.

Anyway, the second I turn 18,

I'm so outta here. Emancipation...

"Emancipation, mobility, music."

No, Tulsa, I just wish I could go with you.

You've been saying that since last summer.

And you can.

- No I can't.

- Oh, right, you can't leave your house.

It's not a house,

- Yeah, no more checks from the state.

The study lab is over. Gotta go.

See you in the funny papers

What does that mean?

You always say that. What does it mean?

I do not know. I had a foster sister in

Oklahoma who used to say it all the time.

Just different way of saying 'goodbye'.

I like it. Talk tomorrow?

I'm not going anywhere.

They look over the people on earth

Do you see that angel?

He is gonna fall in love with her

You're a romantic.

Then he won't be an angel anymore.

He'll be just like her.

Hey, Tulsa, give us even a ride, you slut.

What up, Chuck? Don't get up because of me.

"Hi, honey, how was your day?
