01x11 - Now You See Me

[bunniefuu]

♪ ♪

Hey, Annie, i was just looking at this quote from Robert frost. I thought I used another poem.

Well, everybody uses "the road not taken" one, so I changed it for you.

Um, has anybody seen Matt?

He's in the bathroom.

Sounded like major hair prep.

For church?

No, I don't think so.

Sounds a little more serious than church to me.

Mom, have we got anything planned for this afternoon?

Uh, no. Why?

Nothing. It's just that there's an opening on the cheer squad, so I thought if i could some practice in, I might be able to make it.

I didn't know you were interested in cheerleading.

Yeah. Why not?

One of the girls dropped off squad so they're holding open tryouts this week.

That's great.

What?

I know I'm not ready today, but I could learn how to do it.

Sure.

It's not like brain surgery or anything.

I can see you. You're right there.

Oh! Ooh, hey.

You ok?

Sorry, i didn't see you.

That's ok. I'm fine.

I'm great.

And why is that, Simon?

Well, thanks to ninja mind control, I'm entering the first stages of invisibility.

Can you see him?

Yeah.

Can I have the car keys?

Why can't you ride with the rest of us?

I've got a date.

You're not going to church because you've got a date?

No, I'm bringing her to church.

Oh, this should be fun.

So all of you be on your best behavior.

We'll try.

What?

Nothing. What's her name?

Tia. Tia.

Well, you wouldn't know that if you weren't listening in on my phone calls.

Oh, uh, dad, could you say something really, you know, um, profound?

I kind of built you up so she'd want to come.

If you wanted profound in my sermon, you should have told me weeks ago.

Has Matt ever brought a date to church before?

Nope. Nope.

I hope you can handle the pressure.

Thanks for coming. Thank you, reverend.

That was wonderful.

That took forever.

What's your hurry?

I've got to get home. I've got to start practicing.

The cheerleader thing? Forget it.

Why?

Because it's stupid. That's why.

Oh, right. Cheerleading's stupid, but throwing a big brown ball into a net is a service to mankind?

Well, at least basketball's a sport.

Cheerleading is just making a spectacle of yourself.

Hi.

Mom, dad, this is tia.

Nice to meet you.

Tia, this is mom and dad. Reverend.

Nice to have you with us. Hope you weren't bored.

No, I loved your sermon.

It was very deep.

I told you she was terrific.

Oh, and perceptive, too.

I think it's so neat to see anyone's parents at work.

Work is so much a part of what people are, whether it's working in the home like Mrs. Camden, or out in the community.

Both are such important contributions to society.

Thank you.

I don't hear that often enough.

Matt, if you two don't have any plans, would you like to bring tia by for Sunday dinner?

Well, I was thinking that we'd grab something on our own.

Actually, if it's no trouble, Sunday dinner with the family sounds really nice.

Um, sure. Ok.

But only if you'll let me help, Mrs. Camden.

Oh, well, it's great.

Matt, would you mind stopping and getting some ice cream on the way home?

No problem.

Ok.

See you then. Bye-bye. Nice meeting you.

Hey, glad you could be here.

Dad, do you have any idea how long the line for the bathroom is when you go into overtime?

You gotta give us, like, a 2-minute warning or something.

Yeah, like they do in football.

Matt! Tia! Wait up!

Hi. Hi, how are you doing?

How are you? Thank you.

Nice work inviting tia for dinner.

What are you talking about?

Nobody ever gets through dinner at our place without revealing something interesting.

No, no, no. Go with mom and dad.

Please? I'll be invisible.

You won't even know I'm here.

That's my point. If I won't know you're there, then you might as well go with them.

Please?

Come on, Matt. It'll be fine.

Oh, all right. Get in the car.

Thanks.

Do you believe it's possible for people to become invisible?

Absolutely.

I'm learning to direct my energy and other people's perceptions so that they can't see me.

Can you direct our perceptions so we can't hear you either?

Har-har I believe it's entirely possible for someone to be invisible, Simon.

You really think so?

Yes, I do.

You be careful.

All right, kid.

Disappear.

Can we stop by my house so I can change?

Oh, green beans?

Let me help you with that.

Be my guest. What are you doing?

I thought I'd slice them, you know?

Make French green beans.

Oh, ok. If that's what you want.

When I was a teenager, I thought French green beans were somehow connected to French kissing.

When you were a teenager you thought everything was connected to kissing.

What?

What?

Did I do something?

No...

But it wouldn't hurt if you tried a more romantic approach once in a while.

What could be more romantic than French-cut green beans in our kitchen with our very own French green bean slicer?

I don't know. You tell me.

I'm lost here.

Oh, I was just watching Matt and tia in church today.

And I was thinking about us and what we were like when our relationship was new.

It was always full of wonderful surprises.

Yeah, I remember.

Well?

Well, what?

Nothing.

I'm being silly.

You know, it's still full and wonderful, just not so many surprises.

I miss that.

Mary, will you help spot me?

Nope.

Why not?

When you went out for basketball I helped you practice.

That was different.

What's different? You wanted something and I helped you get it.

Hey, look, if you want to be a cheerleader, I can't stop you, but I'm not gonna participate in your complete downfall as a woman and a human being.

Excuse me?

Don't you get it?

Cheereleading totally trivialises women and women sports.

Thanks for your support.

Hi. Matt said you'd be out here.

sh**ting hoops?

No. Some of us don't play sports.

You guys are so lucky.

I always thought it would be fun having a brother or sister to hang out with.

Not always.

I'm going inside.

No, wait a sec. I'll go. You stay.

Just do whatever you were doing.

No, really. That's ok.

I've seen enough cartwheels for one day.

Sorry. It seems like all I have to do is show up, and a w*r breaks out.

Forget it. This has nothing to do with you.

I've heard that one before.

Heard what?

Nothing.

So you were doing cartwheels?

Mm-hmm.

Ok, got the almonds in the half a cup?

Ok, now pour them on top of the green beans.

Good job.

Now mix them all up with your hands.

Have you seen tia?

Uh, no.

Have you seen tia?

No, I haven't. That's why I'm looking for her.

Maybe if nobody's seen her, maybe she's invisible.

Tia's anything but invisible.

She seems like a very nice girl.

How many times have you gone out with her?

Well, um, counting last night, twice, but there's like this instant connection between us, you know?

Yeah, I know. It was like that with me and your dad when we met.

Uh, of course we were a lot older than you and tia.

Of course. Of course, but kids are growing up a lot faster these days.

Well, some do, some don't.

I'm gonna go find tia.

Simon, will you put out the napkins, please?

You know, if you'd stop following me around, nobody would see me.

Yes, we would.

Thanks for dinner, Mrs. Camden.

Could I help you clear the rest of these dishes?

Oh, no. Relax. We're enjoying your company.

Yeah, it's not often that anybody around here wants to talk about my sermons after church.

I just think that frost poem you quoted was so beautiful.

It was a good choice, wasn't it?

Yeah, I'm surprised you're familiar with the death of the hired man.

Yeah, it's in our English lit book, but I never heard it read out loud before.

It was perfect.

I mean, the safe choice would have been something like the road not taken.

Exactly. Wouldn't it?

You know, when Eric and I first started dating, he wrote some pretty wonderful poetry himself.

I bet it wasn't anything you could read out loud in church, huh, dad?

I wouldn't say that.

I would. It was very personal.

Could you quote the frost poem again?

Well, I think people around here have probably had enough eloquence for one day.

That's right.

We wouldn't want to have to call teh poetry police.

Please, just a line or two.

Go on honey, I thought you were pretty terrific myself.

Please? The line about home.

"Home, he mocked gently.

"Yes, what else but home?

"It all depends on what you mean by home.

"Home is the place where, "when you have to go there, they have to take you in."

Excuse me.

Matt, go see about her.

Dad made her cry.

Your mom picked the poem.

I'm going.

What do you think that was about?

I don't know, but she's obviously in a lot of pain.

Should I...

Not yet.

Come on. Tell me what's going on.

I'm sorry.

I generally try not to burst into tears unless I'm alone.

No, that's ok.

We're, uh, we're big on emotions around here.

I know it doesn't seem like any big deal, but my parents just got divorced.

I'm--I'm sorry.

You don't know how lucky you are to be part of this family.

Oh, oh, yes, I do...

But I'm also lucky that I met you.

Hey.

There you are.

You ok?

Yeah, fine.

Can I ask you a favor?

Anything.

I need a ride to my dad's place after school.

Sure. No problem.

It's my week to stay with him.

He was supposed to pick me up last night, but he was busy.

He didn't even call.

I think he was afraid he'd have to talk to my mom.

I'll take you over there right after i drop off the kids.

Maybe you could hang out at my dad's with me?

He won't be there. He'll have a date.

He's always got a date.

I'd like to, but I've got homework.

Oh. Ok.

Sure.

Or...

Maybe we could do homework together?

Yeah. I know, you take me to my dad's so I can drop off my stuff and then I'll follow you back in my car.

You have your own car?

Yeah, he bought me a car, but I can't take it to my mom's because he doesn't want her to drive it.

I see.

So I'll follow you back to your place, and then you won't have to take me home later or anything.

I'll drive myself.

Great, I'll pick you up later.

You think your mom will mind if I stay for dinner again?

No, no, no.

I'm sure it'll be fine.

Late lunch?

Yeah. I've been so busy, this is the first chance I've had to stop and eat.

What are you doing home early?

Well, my meeting ended, so I thought I'd come home and get some work done here.

Where's ruthie?

Oh, play date.

So it's just the two of us alone?

That's right.

In this great big house in the middle of the afternoon?

Mm-hmm.

With an hour to k*ll before the kids get home from school?

You've got it.

Come here.

That's what I love it always pays off.

I don't think so.

Wait a minute.

Weren't you the one who said that you've missed the surprise in our relationship?

Well...

Surprise.

A surprise would be if you planned something.

Something romantic, something that took a little effort!

So my spontaneity means nothing to you.

Of course it does. It means you can have half of my peanut butter sandwich.

Don't forget to pick Mary up after practice.

Lucy Camden making cheerleader would be scarier than the x files.

Can you believe it?

She's the biggest klutz in school.

I know, so are you gonna tell her?

No way. She's my friend.

I couldn't do it either.

Get in the car. Let's go.

Why? What's the matter?

Nothing. Just get in the car.

Ok, as soon as you tell me what's wrong.

I'm a dope.

Oh, yeah? Why?

To think that I could ever go out for cheerleading.

Of course you can.

Then you're a dope, too.

What happened?

Nothing.

Fine. Doesn't matter.

I'm gonna help you anyway.

Yeah, right. Like you know anything about cheerleading.

I got Mary on the basketball team.

I can get you on the cheerleading team.

Squad. Cheerleading squad.

You may know something about basketball, but you don't know anything about cheerleading.

Well, as a matter of fact, it's a topic I've studied quite closely for many years.

Come on.

Clear your calendar for the rest of the week.

Starting tomorrow, you're putting yourself in my capable hands.

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna turn you into a cheerleader.

What are you gonna do specifically?

Trust me.

You little Turkey, you were eavesdropping?!

No, I wasn't.

Did you know he was back there?

I forgot.

You forgot because i was invisible.

Then how come i can see you!

Well, when a person is suffering from violent emotions, it's very difficult to control their perceptions.

Ooh!

Oh, hi. Hi.

This is my mom.

Mom, this is Mrs. Camden.

Sorry. I got a call just when we got out of the car.

You know how it is.

No, she doesn't. Sorry.

Oh, it's ok. Come on in.

Well, yeah, I'll ask him about it, but I don't think he'll go for it.

I hope this is all right.

Matt said he'd take me to my dad's house.

Oh, sure. He should be back any minute.

Ok, he was gonna pick me up, but my mom wanted to drop me off instead.

Hi. I'm Ellen.

I would have taken tia over to her father's house myself but well, frankly, since the divorce, we haven't exactly been on friendly terms together.

Oh, that must be hard for both of you.

Actually, I'm perfectly content to have no contact with him.

I'd much rather have Matt take her over there.

It was so nice of him to offer.

Well, he should be back soon.

Would you like to come in?

Oh, thanks. I can't.

I've got a couple coming over to look at the condo, and tia knows I mean no offense by this, but it just shows so much better without a teenager in the house.

Of course.

I'm looking to move into a singles complex.

It's a smaller space, but, uh, well, it'll give me a better sh*t at--you know.

Meeting someone.

Hey, if he can do it, i can do it.

You know, with a little work, you could get a good price for this place.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for it?

It belongs to the church.

My husband is a minister.

I told you, mom, remember?

Did you?

I hear that men of the cloth are really hot.

If he has any friends, keep me in mind.

I got to go. Honey, call me if you need anything.

She's really not a bad person.

She just likes to keep busy.

I guess her work keeps her from thinking about the divorce.

Well, divorce is hard on everyone in the family.

Believe me, the marriage wasn't any picnic, either.

I really wish I could get Lucy interested in a sport, something besides cheerleading.

Ah, look, i know you think it's stupid, but cheerleading takes talent and hard work, too.

Dad, do you know why there's a sudden opening on the cheerleading squad?

No.

Because a girl fell off the top of the pyramid and broke her collarbone.

Uh, what pyramid?

You know, they pile themselves on top of each other until there's one poor girl at the top way up in the air.

Why?

I don't know. You tell me.

Why would anyone take that chance?

Look, your sister's your biggest fan.

She comes to every one of your games.

And?

She looks up to you. I know that cheerleading doesn't mean that much to you, but isn't it enough that it's important to your sister?

Dad, it's cheerleading.

Yeah, I know, but i promised your mother I'd give you a lecture.

It was pretty good.

Thanks.

happy, stay away.

Stay away from me, and I think this'll work.

They cannot see me if I cannot be seen.

They cannot see me-- hi, Simon.

Ruthie?

Yes, Simon?

Where are you?

I'm invisible.

Come on, ruthie. Come out.

I am out.

I'm just invisible.

You can't be invisible.

You don't know how.

Can you see me?

No.

Then I guess i am invisible.

happy, go find ruthie, girl. Go find her.

Fine, then.

Hi, uh, we're gonna head up now.

Good night.

Good night!

Thank you so much for dinner.

I really enjoyed it.

I'm glad.

I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to talk more.

Maybe tomorrow.

Yeah. Sure.

See ya then.

Ok. Ok.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

Well, I hate to tell you this, but their comin' in like that was really a code for, "it's late. You better go home."

Oh!

Ok.

You know, it's so great having dinner together and hanging out and just doing stuff that normal families do.

Well, I don't know how normal we are, but, um, I'm glad you had a good time.

No...

Come here!

Thanks for taking me to my dad's this afternoon.

Someday, maybe he'll be home, and I'll introduce you.

Well, i could follow you if you don't want to drive home alone.

No.

The whole point in my picking up my car was so that you wouldn't have to do that.

I'll be fine. I drive myself all the time.

Ok.

Hello?

Yeah, hi.

I'm sorry to wake you up.

This is Bob Jackson-- tia's father? Yeah.

She's not back yet, and I was hopin' she was over at your place.

I'm gettin' a little worried about her.

I thought she left here a couple of hours ago.

Ok, uh, well, we'll go down and check, and I'll call you right back.

Oh, thank you so much.

Seems tia didn't make it home.

I think I found her.

Are you ok?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I just didn't feel like going back to my dad's.

Well, he just called. He's really worried about you.

So worried it took him till 2:30 to realize I'm not there?

Well, let's let him know you're all right.

Hello?

Bob, hey, it's Eric Camden.

Listen, tia's fine. She's right here.

Oh, good, good. I had a feeling she was.

I could follow her over there, or-- or we could put her up here for the night.

Oh...Well, I don't want to put you out.

It's no trouble at all.

You want to talk to her?

No. No, I'm sure she's in good hands.

Thank you so much.

Let me guess.

It's ok with him if I stay here.

Yeah.

I'm sorry if I scared you.

I was gonna drive home in the morning before anybody woke up.

His dates are usually gone by then.

Don't worry about it. I can make up a bed on the couch, ok?

Thank you.

Tia, does your dad know how you feel about his dating?

Oh, I don't think it makes any difference how I feel.

It might.

Maybe you should talk to him.

You really do believe in miracles, don't you?

You kinda have to to be in my line of work.

Tia!

Are you ok? Did you have car trouble?

No. It's a long story.

She'll tell you all about it.

Simon, breakfast.

In a minute, mom, after I talk to tia.

What's up?

Well, I think i figured out why happy keeps following me around, even when I'm invisible.

Why?

According to the ninjas, when I'm invisible, i don't really disappear.

I'm still there.

It's just that i use my mental powers so that you can't see me.

Of course.

And a dog, having greater mental powers, he still senses that I'm around.

That's a good point.

Yeah. I was really starting to think i couldn't do it.

Was there a sleepover?

Doesn't she ever leave?

Good morning.

Thanks for breakfast.

I better get going.

I've got to go home and change for school.

You don't have to go.

You could wear something of Mary's.

Come on, tia. I'll find you something.

Thanks. This is great, almost like having real sisters.

I'll go with you and make sure she shows you the good stuff.

I told her it was late and she had to go home.

I said I'd follow her if she didn't want to drive by herself.

Your father found her asleep in her car.

We know you didn't do anything wrong here.

Would it be ok with you if I paid her dad a visit?

Yeah, it's fine with me, but from what tia says, the guys sounds like a real jerk.

I kind of picked up on that.

What's her mom like?

Pretty much the same as her dad.

So what are you going to say to him?

You know, I've done this kind of thing before.

Yeah, but this time it affects me.

I mean, tia likes the family, and the family likes her, right?

Yeah.

I mean, I know it's still early in the game, but I think she could be the one.

Did i-- did I lapse?

Did he say...

The one.

Do you think she feels that way about him?

I think that tia likes all of us camdens equally.

Think we should tell him?

No.

He'll figure it out.

I hope so.

Hey, did you forget something?

Uh...Hmm, what?

A kiss.

I can't see you this afternoon.

I promised Lucy I'd help her with somethin'.

Oh, that's ok.

I think it's nice you spend time with your sisters.

I'll just hang out at my dad's.

We'll have lots of time this weekend, I promise.

Can we go to church again?

I really liked hearing your dad speak.

Well, sure, but I was hoping we'd get some time alone.

You know, just you and me.

It's ok if we don't. I like your family.

They're nice to be with.

And they feel that way about you, too.

Bye.

No.

Hey, hey, I'll be with you in just a second.

Jerry? Jerry, is that a joke or an insult?

Tell her she can settle now, or I will advise my client to go for custody.

Yes!

What can I do for you?

I'm Eric Camden...

Matt's dad.

We spoke last night. Well, actually, it was, uh, it was this morning.

Yeah...Matt-- the new boyfriend.

I am so glad tia is getting out.

It's doing her a lot of good.

This divorce was tough on her, and she was sitting around, sulking, moping-- just a sec.

No! Jerry, this is not a negotiation.

That is the offer, and it closes at the end of business today!

Thank you, sweetheart.

It's up to you!

You want me to tell you how to run your business?

Here's what I would do--

I would do what is best for your client and the kid.

All right, what does she look like?

You're kidding.

Is she seeing anyone?

No. No, no, no. It's a personal question.

Your 3:00 is waiting.

Hang on.

I'm sorry. It's just one of those days.

Can we reschedule?

Uh, yeah, sure.

I'll, uh...

I'll call you.

It's good to see you.

Jerry? Jerry! I am giving you good advice here, believe me!

What are we doing here?

I told you, leave everything to me.

But how?

So this is your little sister?

Hi. I'm Kristin.

Kristin, uh, meet Lucy.

She's going out for cheerleading.

She just needs to work out a few things.

Just lock up before you leave, and put the keys back through the mail slot.

Great. Thanks. We really appreciate this.

No problem. Good luck.

Thanks.

Who was that?

Oh, I, uh... I dated her sister.

And...

She dumped me, so she figures she owes me.

Come on.

Hey, look, Lucy...

You know how to do everything you need to be a cheerleader, and you're just as good as anyone else trying out.

Well-- you just need some confidence, some enthusiasm, and the determination to do it. That's all.

That's the secret to doing everything.

Come on. Let's go.

You ok?

Ooh!

You just want to straighten out this time.

All right, gotcha.

Lock your knees.

Hey, check out this great leather jacket I found at the thrift shop.

You look great in it.

Hey, mom said you were up here.

I thought you were hanging out at your dad's.

I was. I thought you were busy.

Well, that was before. You want to do something?

Mmm...

Nah.

I'd rather hang out with the girls.

Oh.

Ok.

That's really cute.

You should try it on with this.

Yeah! I love it!

Ooh!

Simon, knock off this invisibility stuff, will you?

I don't find it amusing anymore.

You're just in a bad mood. I understand.

Yeah? Why would i be in a bad mood?

You know.

No. No, I don't know. Tell me.

Well, uh, i hate to be the one to break the news to ya, but, uh...

I think tia wants to be a Camden.

Simon, I think it's a little early to be thinkin' about marriage, not that it couldn't happen down the line.

Who's talking about marriage?

I think tia wants mom and dad to adopt her.

What?

That would make her your sister, which means you couldn't go out with her anymore, much less marry her.

Simon, mom and dad aren't adopting tia.

Maybe not, but I still think she wants them to.

Why?

Isn't it obvious?

The girl needs a family.

I mean, her father seemed completely oblivious to the fact that tia was even having a problem.

Her mother was the same way.

Wonder what would happen if I got the two of them in the same room and made them see what it is they're doing to this kid.

What?

You don't think i can do it?

I think you can do anything you want.

What?

Nothing.

Ready?

Look...

I appreciate all you did for me, but I don't know what I was thinking.

I don't stand a chance.

What are you talking about?

Everything you have to do, you did with me.

I saw you. You can do it.

Yeah. I can do all the technical stuff.

It's not that.

What is it, luce? Tell me.

I'm not pretty enough to be a cheerleader.

My legs are too skinny, and my head is too big.

Come here.

Look at yourself.

Lucy, you're beautiful, as beautiful as any cheerleader I've ever seen.

You think?

I know.

Even if I don't become a cheerleader, it was worth all the effort just for this.

Thanks, Matt.

You'll make it, kid.

And if I don't?

Well, then I guess we have the next year to work on it.

Ready!

G-o!

Go, eagles! Go!

G-o!

Go, eagles! Go!

Say, am I just being a father here, or is she really good?

She's really good.

You know, i hate to admit it, but this is kinda cool.

How did you do it?

All I did was help her find some confidence, same thing I did for you.

Maybe the cheerleading Lucy was invisible because all we could see was the regular Lucy.

I think you're exactly right, Simon.

G-o! Go, eagles. Go!

G-o! Go, eagles! Go!

G-o! Go, eagles! Go!

Yeah!

This was a great day to be with your family.

Thanks for including me.

Sure.

Um...

Listen, tia, I, uh...

I kinda get the feeling you're not with me because of me, but because of my family.

I'm sorry, Matt.

I like you. I really do, but I guess I just need more than a boyfriend right now.

That's ok. I understand.

Don't take it personally.

I won't.

I've, uh...

I've been dumped before.

You're kidding.

No. Uh-uh.

Never by anybody that I cared about this much, but, hey, sometimes these things just don't work out.

Yeah. I know all about that.

Come here.

It'll be fine. You'll see.

Can I ask you a terrible question?

You bet.

When things settle down with my life, can we try going out again?

That's not a terrible question.

Sure.

When you called to say there was somebody you wanted me to meet, I hung up the phone, i made a sale, and I completely blew my commission on lingerie.

So is he an associate of yours, reverend?

It's Eric, and, uh, no, not an associate, just a friend.

Not that I don't go out. I mean, I go out.

It's just so nice to meet new men.

I'll get it.

It's so hard to meet anyone decent at my age, especially with a kid attached, everyone in town knowing your husband.

What's this?

I thought you said you had someone you wanted me to meet.

We do.

Tia?

Bob, Ellen...

I'd like you to meet your daughter.

Apparently, you've both been pretty wrapped up lately, and you've been missing out on getting to know a terrific young woman.

She's got a couple of things she would like to say to you.

If you have a problem, dear, you can always talk to me.

As if she can't talk to me?

Why don't we all sit down?

Please?

Go ahead, tia.

Ok, um...

Ever since the divorce, I feel like neither of you really care about me anymore.

It's like all you care about is getting back at each other, and nobody ever asks me what I want.

All you ask is what the other one is doing, and I'm tired of it.

I'm tired of being shuffled back and forth.

I'm tired of sitting in your house alone, dad.

Or in the condo alone, mom.

I need you.

Both of you...

Even if I have to settle for you one at a time.

Sweetheart, why didn't you say something?

When, dad?

When you come home for 5 minutes while you change for your next date?

And you don't talk to me either, mom!

If you did, you'd know that I don't wanna move to some singles condo.

And that's all that i have to say for now, and I hope that i didn't hurt your feelings...

'Cause I love you.

Even if you don't love each other anymore.

I'm gonna ask Matt to drive me home now, ok?

Ok.

Just a second.

I'm sure you both know tia best.

I've talked to a lot of kids going through a divorce.

It's really easy for them to feel that nobody cares about them.

I mean, some kids handle it ok, but some run away from home, some...

Commit su1c1de.

They become victims of people who know them and love them, but who...

Quit paying attention because they're in pain themselves.

I think you've gotten your point across, reverend.

Sorry. I didn't mean to push.

If there's anything i can do to help you, just let me know.

Is it just me, or does this guy have one of those holier-than-thou attitudes?

It's you.

I hate it that he's right.

Yeah. Me, too.

Huh, look at that.

We just agreed on something.

Maybe tia would like it if we made an appointment with the reverend, and the 3 of us sat down and talked.

Hey, we're on a roll here.

Now that you've fixed everyone else's problems, you think you might have a few minutes left over for me?

Uh, sure.

What's that?

Well, it's just a little, um...

Well...Here.

Come on. I'll show you.

Do you have any idea where Simon is?

No. I haven't seen him.

Yes!

You wanna see me do the locomotive cheer again?

No! No. Heh heh.

That's ok.

But you were great this afternoon.

Congratulations.

Oh, and I have a little present for you.

A sports bra?

Yep. I thought since you're kind of an athlete now, you might need it.

Thanks.

You're the best.

Caviar?

And champagne.

Whoa.

I've been savin' up for a new guitar, but I figured a few new strings would do just as well.

We came up here the night we moved into this house.

I remember.

Surprise.
