We're going
to be late.

Okay, I'm almost done.

I'm going to make
sure the car starts.

Okay.

Bye, mom.

Want to come
play video games?

I got to do this essay.

Boring.

Hey, isn't that my watch?

Yeah... I'm just
borrowing it.

Mine's broken.

Well, get it fixed!

Okay.

Relax.

Hey, guys.

Hey, snake.

You want to play
video games?

I've got homework.

You guys amaze me.

I'll see you at home.

Later.

Home!

He takes my stuff
without asking me.

He snores.

He's driving me crazy.

Ask him to leave.

I can't--

He's my friend.

Woman on p.A.:
If mr. Walfish is here,
please come to the office.

"in an express
contract, all terms
are clearly defined.

"in an implied contract,
nothing is precisely stated

Or written."

We're closing
in five minutes, girls.

Why must a school library
close at 4:00?

What do these people
get paid for?

Michelle, calm down.

Alexa, I have to do well
on this test.

I got a "d"
on the last one

And I cannot study at home.

You must have
the worst roommates.

Is every night
party time?

Yes.

Maybe you should
find another
apartment.

I can't.

This is the cheapest
I could find

Which is probably why

No one ever
cleans up.

The kitchen
is filthy.

Even the cockroaches
complain.

You almost make me glad
I live at home.

Hey, mom.

Hi.

Joey, I need
to talk to you.

It's important.

Do you have
a minute?

Yeah, sure.

How long will
wheels stay with us?

I don't know, mom.

He's been here a month.

It's very
draining.

He's got nowhere else to go.

His grandmother wants
to talk to him.

He can't stand her.

She's not exactly wild

About him,
either.

Also, money has been
disappearing from my purse.

Well... Wait a minute, mom.

Wheels doesn't steal.

Who else, then?

Well, I don't know.

Something's been
happening to that money

And it's been
going on since
shortly after

Wheels arrived.

Let me talk to him.

When?

Tomorrow.

I've got to do
this essay tonight

All right?

All right.

But whatever happens,
he has to leave, joey--

Soon.

Okay.

Thanks for the ride.

I'll see you later.

Uh... Can you wait
a second?

What?

Did you take any money

From my mom's purse?

What?

Because if you did

You have
to tell me.

No, I don't steal.

Joey, why would I be so stupid?

I love living at your house.

It's the first time
I've been happy

Since my parents were k*lled.

If you were borrowing it,
I'd understand.

Joey-- I didn't take anything.

Maybe she spent it
and forgot.

But I didn't take any money.

A breach of contract.

When...

When one person
doesn't fulfill

His obligation
under the contract?

Right.

Michelle?

Discharging
the contract.

Woman:
Please see arthur kobolowski
in the cafeteria.

First come, first served.

I don't know.

What's the point
of this dumb stuff anyway?

The test
is tomorrow.

I couldn't get
any studying done.

I begged them
to turn down the stereo

But they ignored me.

You have to move.

All I want is
a quiet place to study.

What about, like,
your dad's house?

No, no... He'd take it as a sign
that I couldn't manage

On my own.

Wait a minute--
simon, you're brilliant!

I am?

He is?

Yes-- my dad has

A cooking class today.

The house will be empty!

You mean...
Sneak in?

Won't he know?

I can study and be gone
before he gets back.

Simon, you are
a genius.

I don't know...

I guess.

Snake:
It makes sense,
doesn't it?

Where has he been
getting the money?

My mom says she's been
losing money since he arrived.

He's always got money
to play video games.

Can you
buy me one?

Luke:
I got to split.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Come play
dominoes.

Hey, how was your day?

Fine.

Mine was awful.

We had two pop quizzes.

Bummer.

Wheels, how come
you can always afford

To play video games?

I have some money
saved-- why?

Nothing--
I was just, uh...

Wondering.

You still think
I took the money.

Somebody must
have taken it.

This is great.

My best friend
doesn't believe me.

Thanks a lot... Jerk.

Jerk?!

You're calling me a jerk?

How much longer are you
staying at my house?

Until I find someplace.

You're not looking!

I don't have any money.

What about those savings?

They're not enough.

Oh, of course not--
silly me.

What do you want me to do?

Why don't you
look for a job

Then maybe look
for some apartments.

I've got enough
problems already.

Give me a break!

I haven't had
it easy like you.

My parents
were k*lled.

Why do you always bring that up?

That was over
two years ago.

You don't get over
something like that.

Hey, you took
the last one!

So?-- First come,
first served.

Anyway, I don't
need a lecture

From a jerk
like you.

You're right.

What you need is
to start looking

For somewhere
else to live.

My parents want you out.

What?

You can
stay here

Till you find somewhere else
to live, but you've got

To start
looking.

Why wait?

I won't stay someplace
where I'm not wanted.

I'm out of here.

Go ahead.

Fine!

Give me my watch!

Be careful!

Thanks a lot.

Some friend you are.

Snake's mom:
Go on, tell him.

Snake:
Okay-- I'll tell him.

Well?

My parents say no.

Didn't you tell them

It was just
for one night?

Yeah, that's what you
told joey's parents.

Your parents
are jerks!

You can hardly blame them--
you do have a reputation.

Right, so I'm condemned--

Guilty without a trial.

Fine, I'll leave.

I'm sorry.

So am I.

I thought I had friends.

Why don't you just go

To your
grandmother's?

Forget it.

Hello, house.

It's just me.

Michelle, I thought
you were a burglar.

What are you doing here?

Don't you have
a cooking class?

They ended last week.

What are you
doing here?

I needed a quiet place

To study
for a test.

I needed some space.

No, don't go.

You can study here.

I don't mind.

I won't disturb you.

Okay.

I'll use my old room,
if that's all right?

That's just fine.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Come in.

I didn't want
to disturb you

But I thought you might
like something to eat.

I made these myself.

Well, thanks.

What are you studying?

Business-- contracts.

If I can help.

I can figure it
out for myself.

But thanks.

How are things at your place?

Great, fine.

I can tell something's wrong.

It gets a little noisy at times.

It's no big deal.

You could move back home.

I'm doing fine in my home.

You can hardly call it a home.

I'm perfectly happy there.

That's why you're
here studying?

Why should you be in that
cramped dingy little room?

I don't need this.

I'm leaving.

No, don't go.

I'm sorry.

I'll leave you
to study.

Michelle.

I really don't want
to fight with you.

As hard as this may be
to believe

I love you.

Hello.

It's me, grandma.

What do you want, derek?

I need a place to stay.

Joey's parents threw me out.

I know.

You were stealing.

No!

I didn't take anything.

You lie and you lie.

I do not, grandma.

Come on, please.

You've got to let me come over.

If I let you back,
you'll stick by my rules.

Fine.

You'll go to school.

You'll do your chores.

No problem.

You'll return to counseling.

I don't need counseling.

Yes, you do.

Okay, okay,
I'll do anything you want.

Just let me come over.

Things will be different,
I promise.

I don't believe you, derek.

But you have to.

It's pouring out here.

Where am I going to go?

There are shelters.

That's for bums and losers.

No, they're for people that
don't have anywhere else to go.

Grandma, wait!

Hello?

Mark?

Who's this?

Hey, it's me, wheels.

How are you doing?

Pretty good--
what are you up to?

Would you
like a lift

Back to your
apartment?

It's bucketing
out there.

Sure, that'd be great.

It was good to see you.

Any time you need
a place to study

The door is always open.

Thanks.

Dad...

What you said about
me moving back...

There's so much room.

It makes good sense.

I'd want to pay rent.

Don't be silly.

It's not silly.

We had a lot of problems
when I lived here.

I want it to be different.

So, if I come back,
I think we need a contract.

We don't need a contract.

It would make me like a tenant.

I could come and go
as I please, no curfews.

You can't stay out
all night.

You're 17 years old.

And I've been living
on my own for a year.

I don't want you
staying out all night.

All right, we can
negotiate something

Like I promise
to phone you.

I'd like
something, too.

I'd like
to see you, say...

Three evenings a week.

One.

Two.

One and a half--

One one week, two the next

And it's not fair

To make it
a Friday or Saturday.

Maybe we should
be writing some
of this down.

Okay, item one-- rent.

Item one-- rent.

Narrator:
It's pouring down here

But there's still
plenty to see inside.

If you're willing to rough it

Visit a man who's really
roughing it-- jimmy montesino.

I hope he's home.

I'll get it.

Simpson residence.

Hello.

Snake...

It's me.

You got to help.

Please.

Ah...

No problem--

I'll answer your questions.

It's a consumer survey.

Okay, I like butter
over margarine.

What are you talking about?

Don't joke around.

I need a place to stay.

It's pouring out here.

Marmalade over jam--

Definitely!

( whispering ):
Where are you?

I'm just around the corner.

Whole wheat, actually.

I like the fiber.

I'll meet you out back
in two minutes.

Don't knock,
don't let anyone see you.

( loudly ):
Bagels, definitely!

Thanks.

You're welcome.

No problem at all.

Any time.

They were just asking
some questions--

Something to do with breakfast.

He's not slowing up
after more than four days...

Weird.

I just realized--

I left my bike
outside.

Weird.

Man, I'm soaked!

Not so loud!

What?

I'm not supposed
to talk to you.

My parents heard about
the money you stole.

I didn't take anything.

Why does everybody
think I did?

Look--

You have to let me
stay here.

There's nowhere else.

My grandmother
won't even let me in.

I can't!

Snake, please.

I'm desperate.

I've got
nowhere else to go.

You can't come
inside but...

You can sleep
on the porch.

Outside?!

There's a couch
and I'll get you a blanket.

Just make sure
you're gone by 7:00.

My parents can't see you.

Thanks.

It's the best
I can do.

No problem.

I'll freeze
to death.

This is all joey's fault.

I thought he was a friend.

The guy's a total loser.

Loser?

After he let you stay
at his place for weeks?

You are so self-centered!

You don't know what
it's like to be me.

You've had it easy.

Your parents are still alive.

So?

What do you
mean, "so?"

So you can't hide
behind that forever.

Take some
responsibility!

It's not my fault
they were k*lled.

No, but it's your fault
for messing up.

It's your fault you're
staying out here tonight.

Everyone tried to help

But all you do is
take advantage of us.

You'd better be
gone by 7:00.

Girl:
This morning's soccer game
has been rescheduled

For Monday at 8:00.

We are two games away
from division champion.

No way!

That's awesome!

I'll talk to you later.

I guess you've heard
where I spent the night.

Yeah.

I called my grandma.

I'm going to talk
to her this afternoon.

Fine.

I've been doing
some thinking.

I guess I've been
kind of stupid.

I'm really sorry.

Things are going to be
different from now on.

Yeah, right.

I took the money from your mom.

I don't expect you
to believe me

But I'm going
to make it up to her.

I'm going to pay her back--

Every cent.

I'll believe it when I see it.

You'll see it.

You'll see it.
