White Frog

---

Henry used to talk of people.

How society would never

learn to live without.

The love.

And he used to say

that we could be a family.

But not without the love.

The love.

Then he went.

To nowhere I know.

The picture-perfect memories.

They don't mean nothing

till you die.

I pick up the phone

but nobody's home.

Still I try.

And, honey,

I can't pay the bills...

Ohh.

Hey.

Here you go.

Why do I have to do it?

It's called comparative

advantage, B.B.

We each do

what we're good at,

and everyone's happy.

You're good at school:

I'm good at taking care of you.

Who beat the crap out of the kid

who peed on your shoes?

That was in the third grade.

Who made it okay for you

to eat nothing but bread

when we go out?

Come on, we're a team.

What are you doing?

- Writing.

- Can I read it?

No.

Sure. If aliens abduct me.

Hey.

I'm around the corner.

What should I tell the 'rents?

Kaplan.

Every Jewish parent's

idea of paradise.

Kaplan's over.

Way to rub It In, Mr. Ivy.

No wonder your parents

think you're perfect.

I'm not?

I wish I were retarded.

Hold on.

What, Nick?

I wish I was retarded.

Then I wouldn't have to

do your stupid schoolwork.

You mean, you wish you were

mentally challenged.

So challenge yourself.

I'm going to study group.

Okay.

Chaz!

Where are you going?

Study group.

I'm not an idiot.

It's a usual Friday night thing.

Just gonna hang out

with some friends,

play video games.

Can I come?

Sorry, buddy.

Got to have social skills.

I'll join you guys later.

Sorry.

Be a man, Nick, come on.

You could've gone.

I've got something

better to do.

Come on, let's go.

Come on.

Come on,

that's all you got?

Your music is distracting me.

You have no taste.

This music is dope.

Come on. Here, boy.

That's all right.

You almost made it.

And he shoots.

And... Whoo!

I gotta go.

When... when do I get to come?

One day. I promise.

So for your good.

You'd better go.

Some things never change...

Try and stay in the lane!

Hey, that's much better!

- Walt, walt!

- I'll go out and get the car.

Please, just walt.

No, come on!

What did they say?

They didn't say anything.

He's in the hospital.

Let's just go, come on.

And though it is impossible

not to feel distraught,

even angry,

at this seemingly

senseless loss,

God has also given

a healing gift

to those of us

who are believers...

the knowledge that

what others call death

is not actually an ending,

but a new beginning.

This young man,

who we all loved so much

whom we will all miss

so terribly...

Chaz has begun the next stage

in his amazing journey

with a new life

and a new flesh...

more perfect than anything

we can even imagine.

Let us be inspired

by the life of Chaz Young,

to make our own lives

a testament to your glory.

He was with us.

We enjoyed his company,

basked in his spirit.

And now he's gone from us

in the flesh,

but his memory will remain

with us forever.

Let us all strive

to live up to that memory,

to live up to the gift

which you have given us

by letting us know

this remarkable young man.

In Jesus name, we pray.

Amen.

Well, I know Chaz

would never want us

to sit around and be boring.

You know, he'd want us

to have fun.

Like old times, man.

Hey, man, you want

a ride or something?

Poor kid.

He wanted to come with us.

If he wants to come,

he can ask.

All right, man, see you.

Maria?

Maria?

Maria?! I need your help!

Mom.

Oh, B.B., you're home.

Where's his stuff?

I threw it out.

B. B... Shh. B.B.!

Oh!

B.B.!

Oh!

Come on!

Nick!

Come on!

B.B.

B.B., please stop.
