Shut up.

I'm not sure I would use

the word cute.

Stop.

I'm not wearing this.

Her who was now but a shadow...

...and a recollection.

Tears streamed from my eyes.

The rain had ceased for a moment...

...and I saw the fish play

in the water...

...as they had

done a few hours before...

...they had then been

observed by Elizabeth.

Nothing is so painful

to the human mind as a great...

...and sudden change.

He wouldn't hang out with us.

It turned out,

I was at his place one time...

...and he had tap shoes,

he'd being going to...

...tap lessons the whole time.

- Yeah, sure.

You're not allowed to flirt

with them.

Don't you want a ride?

Anybody?

Guys seriously?

We went over this yesterday.

What do you scan the area for

before you jump in the water...

...to make a save?

Yes.

- No wire?

Electrical wire...

But yes, that's one.

Sam's clothes.

Guys, enough.

Good one.

Fine. Laps.

Come on. Now.

Sam, are you finally going to

do front crawl for me?

Please?

Hey Sam.

Hey Sam, can I talk to you

for a minute.

Fine.

Here, get in the water.

- Really?

- Yes. Really.

Come on.

Alright, so what is it about

the front crawl?

Is it the breathing?

I know how to do the breathing.

I just don't like it.

You don't like to breathe huh?

You know what I mean.

Well you know you got to be able to

do front crawl to pass this course.

I can swim.

Sam, I'm serious.

Front crawl is the fastest...

...and as a lifeguard you

have to be fast and efficient.

I can go just as fast swimming

underwater.

Wanna make a bet?

Here, if you can beat me...

...to the other end of the pool

swimming underwater.

I will never ask you

to do front crawl again.

But if I win then you have

to start doing it.

- Fine.

- Yeah?

Yeah.

Alright.

Here, backs against this edge.

I'll even give you

a head start too.

One, two...

...three.

You cheater.

You're fast.

What are you doing?

Hey man, I was just trying to help

Sam with her front crawl.

Oh, yeah?

That's front crawl?

Sam, don't you have to be

at work soon?

Okay, mom.

I expect you do be doing

front crawl next class.

You didn't win.

Hello?

I'm sorry.

I'm here to clean your room.

I'm not paying for that.

You don't have to, it's included.

Well I didn't ask for it.

I was told to do clean

every room. It's my job.

Sir?

Are you going to let me in?

- No.

Fine.

Well are you actually going to

clean anything?

You're b..m is wet.

I was swimming.

Looks like you peed yourself.

What are you doing?

I'm throwing out your old food.

I didn't tell you to do that.

Well it's old moldy food.

I can throw out my own food.

Do you want to put them back?

Are you trying to be funny?

Not now that it's been

in the garbage.

What is that?

It's vinegar.

That's awful.

It's going to leave a

hell of a smell.

Yeah.

Don't touch anything!

And don't go in the bedroom.

Okay.

It's recording mom.

It's recording Ed.

Then talk dear.

Hi this is Ed and Isabel.

We're not home right now

so please leave us a message.

After the beep.

Hey dad, it's Greg.

Answer the phone.

Dad, we really need

to talk about the house.

Call me back, please.

Okay, I'll try again later.

There is no one else who can

take you out.

I don't need you spying on me.
