Yo, come on.

But its so far away.
Nah!

Are they coming

Get a room, you two.
Hi.
Good luck.
-Sir.
-Okay, go get them.
You know you got this, right?
Good luck.
On your mark.
Get set.
Nate!
That was nice running, man.
Thanks, man.
Hey, did you sell
any of that stuff yet?
Uh no, but Noah said we
can get like 400 for the lot.
Ok cool.
Hey, do you want
to do something tonight?
I can come to your place.
sh*t, man, I cant.
My stepmoms making me do this
like boring
family dinner, you know?
Yeah, I know I should do
a family dinner too.
Do that test paper.
Ah!
Test paper!
Youre gonna be a
college boy now, Nate?
All right, later.
I look at you,
I see a doctor.
But I never acted before,
Mr. Deen.
And thats why this is
the perfect role to start with.
Couldnt I at least be like
a--is there a
football player part?
There are no football players
in Flowers
for Algernon, Barnaby.
But there are doctors.
And I know you can do it.
Morning, Nate.
How are you today?
Morning, Mr. Deen.
Youll need this.
And on behalf of the
Spartan Social Committee,
youve been nominated the
winner of this
delicious candy bar.
Thats it.
Of course.
Go ahead.
Enjoy.
Morning, Noah. Hand those
out for me, will you?
Morning, Carl.
Morning, Mr Deen.
Morning, Jen.
Hows it going Mr. Deen
Morning, Johnny.
Tina.
Morning, Mr. Deen.
Morning.
Oh, not those, Mr. Deen.
Hey, Linda.
Any news?
Ive been accepted.
I start next semester.
See, I told you.
Thanks. Oh, hey.
I kept these
especially for you.
Fresh?
Freshest.
And what are
you doing with those?
Hi, Deb.
You are a very bad boy, Stan.
Howd it go in tennis?
We lost. Straight sets.
Really? Doubles?
Of course.
Roger was taking lessons, but
hes got tennis elbow again.
When are you going to join?
We need more players.
Oh, next semester, for sure.
You said that all last season.
Hey, wheres that racket
I bought you?
Stan?
Are you okay?
Really?
You know how it is, Deb.
You leave the house
at 6:30 in the morning.
You dont get home
until 10:30 at night.
Where is that racket?
I bet its down this hallway.
In the basement.
I think its in the basement.
Its not there.
Its in the base--
You gotta be kidding me.
Seriously?
Im sorry.
Stan, I promised
youd drop this off months ago.
This isnt good for you.
Its been a while now.
I know. Youre right.
This too shall pass.
The Telecomic Woman
Maker Tuesday posted its
first quarterly
operating loss in 16 years.
Company CEO
Christopher Galvin says
that the earliest signs
of a turnaround
will come with a
gradual increase in sales
and profitability in
the second half of the year.
Its official.
Liberty Media and ATandamp;will split this summer. Thank--
Its cute, right?
Yeah.
Little mittens.
Mm-hmm.
Whats yours?
I dont know.
Its cool though, right?
Hey!
Is Nathan Williams present?
Yes, hes right here.
Nathan Williams,
youre under arrest.
Turn around.
Hands behind your back.
You have the
right to remain silent.
Anything you say,
can, and will be
used against you
in a court of law.
You were right to an attorney--
What is happening?
Im not a bad guy.
I know.
-...rights that Ive read you.
-Yes.
In hearing these rights,
Do you wish to talk to --
Where are you taking him?
Its okay.
Turn to your right.
Strip.
All the way.
Youre in trouble,
Nathan.
Who was with you?
No one.
You did this alone?
A witness said
they saw someone,
maybe two other peo--.
I was on my own.
You get to make
one phone call.
Lets go.
I don--I dont have
anyone to call.
Oh, sorry.
Morning, Barnaby.
Nadine, Paul, Chris, Madison.
Morning.
I know, John,
but what did he do?
Hey, does
anyone know if Nathan--
It was burglary.
Someones home?
It was West Barnes
appliance store in New Holland.
Did they have to arrest him
in front of the whole school?
Couldnt you have
called him into your office?
It sends a message.
The whole school
got that message, John.
Well, how
else do you expect to
get through
to a kid like that?
A kid like what?
What kind of kid do
you think he is, Miriam?
Hes disrespectful and lazy.
His grades certainly
arent up to par.
And hes the only
kid at Garden Spot like that?
Hes a heck of an
athlete, right, Coach?
Well, um...
What are we doing here?
Arent we supposed to inspire
these kids to
become something great?
good morning--
-you know?
all rise for
the Pledge of Allegiance
I pledge allegiance,
to the flag
of the United States of America
John, do you know if Nathans
posted bail or not?
I dont know.
Im trying to get in
touch with the foster parents.
: with liberty
and justice for all.
Good morning, maam.
Im here to
see Nathan Williams.
Are you family?
No. No, Im his teacher.
Cant let you back
unless youre family.
Well, at Garden Spot,
we like to think
of all of our
students as family.
Well, we dont.
You have to be family.
Its really important, please.
Id like to see
the warden, please.
The wardens busy.
You just tell him,
Stan Deens here.
Ill... Ill wait.
Mr. Deen.
Tom Friedman?
Oh, my gosh,
I cant believe it.
Whats it been, 20 years?
Yeah, at least.
Well, what are you doing?
Are you at the
Garden Spot still?
Yeah, yep, Im still there.
Im still there.
Im not leaving till
they name something after me.
So, what are you
doing in here today?
You gonna yell at me, Mr. Deen?
No, of course not.
You dont belong here, Nate.
Were gonna get you out.
All right?
Do you have
any family I can call?
No one?
No.
Who were you living with
before you went
into foster care?
-My nanny and grandpa.
-Okay.
That-- its been a
very long time, Mr. Deen.
I dont think theyd want
to help, if theyre still alive.
Well, were gonna
give it a try. All right?
Nate, I need a name.
Cole.
C-O-L-E?
Yeah, theyre up
in Lebanon. They were.
All right.
Well find a
way to get you out.
Sorry for wasting
your time, Mr. Deen.
Its not a waste--
This little light of mine
Im gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
Im gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
Im gonna let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine
Let it shine, let
it shine, let it shine
Youre in the same room.
Okay.
This kind of music
is like heaven to me!
Hoop-dee-doo, hoop-dee-doo
Its got me higher
than a kite
Hand me down
my soup an fish
I am gonna get my wish, --
Whoops.
...dee doin it tonight!
When theres
a trombone playin...
Hello.
...prison.
Its some guy from the high
school
he called and let us know.
Hold on Bonnie--
Good morning maam.
Im Stan Deen,
Nathans teacher.
Is he here?
Nathans teacher.--
I dont know.
Hey, what are you doing here?
Hey Nate, hi.
Gee, I hoped Id see you
back in class by now.
Hes got a job.
He dont need no school.
Dropping out of school, huh?
Uh oh. Ill be out of
a job if that gets around.
Nate, you
gotta get back in school.
Whats gonna happen
when you go on trial?
Whaddya mean?
When he goes to
court, he has to show
the judge hes not
that person anymore.
And the best way to do that
is to go back to
school and graduate.
New Hollands too far.
His cars impounded
till the trial.
What she means is,
they put up my bail.
I gotta work
for them to pay it back.
Bonnie, Ill call you back.
We cant put up bail
every time he gets in trouble.
Well, plenty of
kids get a part-time job.
Nate, where was the foster home
you were staying at before?
Nathan?
I wasnt in a foster home.
I was living in my car.
Your car?
What do you mean your car?
You lived in your car? Where?
I dont know. Quiet places.
Fields, mostly.
Howd you eat?
I didnt. Not really.
That Hershey bar
you gave me was the
only meal I had
in like three days.
Oh my gosh.
Why do you think
I was on the track team?
So I could shower, Mr. Deen.
Nate, we have got
to get you back in school.
Why? Showem Im a con?
What are you doin in here?
Oh, Gosh.
This is Nathans teacher.
He wants to get
Nathan back in school.
Yeah, thats right.
Who is this?
Nathans mother. Gloria.
Shes beautiful.
She died when I was six.
Terrible accident. Car accident.
Died instant like.
Nanny...
Dont start that again.
You cant keep making
up stories about what happened.
Right when he was little,
he made up stories.
Upsetting people.
After she died, we couldnt...
a little child
needs a lot of keepin.
We thought the orphanage
would give him a good home.
My Lord.
Im sorry, but
what about the father?
We dont speak
about that piece of trash.
As I tell Nathaniel,
he better forget that man
ever drew a living breath.
Otherwise,
people will think
the apple dont
fall far from the tree.
She shouldnt have took
up with him in the first place.
She brought it on herself.
Cmon, Nathaniel.
Nate. Nate.
Heres my number.
If you change your mind,
I promise you...
Well figure this out.
Thanks.
I know.
Its just a little upsetting
when the first person
isnt somebody
faceless in the newspaper.
But someone you know...
someone you care about.
If Charlie is chosen
and we succeed,
he will have more
than a new life.
He will have a life.
And if we fail,
he will have made a greater
contribution to mankind
than most normal people
could ever hope to do.
You think he has
a future as an actor.
I dont think Barnaby
has any future as an actor.
I mean...
But...
I can see him
disappearing into his shell,
you know, this
thing with his knee, and...
Theres a terrific kid there.
And if I can help...
even at Flowers
for Algernons expense...
then... I mean, what the heck?
No one walks out
of a Stan Deen production.
Except me.
Hey, hi, Mr. Deen.
Its Nate. Nate Williams.
Uh...
Ive been thinking about
what you said.
Id like to come back to school.
Before we do this,
I need something from you.
I need to know you trust me.
I trust you.
Lets tell
each other something
about ourselves
neither of us knows.
Okay? Ill go first.
Uh...
I wanted to be a movie star.
What?
Yep. I was gonna
be the next James Deen.
I already had the last name.
You dont know
who that is, do you?
mm-mmm
I quit my teaching job
and I moved out to California.
Whyd you come back?
Didnt work out.
Okay, your turn.
I dont like reading out loud.
I already know that.
I also know youre good at it.
Okay, whats something
no one knows?
I like photography.
-Lets go with that.
-Yeah, can we go now?
Does Mrs. Baker
know you like photography?
Okay, got it. Not cool.
Wow.
Pretty great, huh?
Its a mid-century ranch.
No. No.
Its more of a dump
than my car, Mr. Deen.
Okay. Youre
sleeping on the couch.
You can just push that stuff--
The couch is
quite comfortable.
but Ill make some
house calls tomorrow
and see if I can
find something better for you,
your highness.
Is this your mom?
Huh? Yeah, my dad took that.
He was a photographer, too.
Professional.
Where is your mom?
She, uh...
She passed.
Last... last January.
Sorry
Its all right. Its all right.
You know,
she had a big stroke,
I guess,
about eight years ago, and...
I looked after her.
Can I use your bathroom?
Yeah, yeah. Sure, of course.
Its just through there.
Its time to
start a show tonight
Hey! There you are.
I was gonna
send out a search party.
We are having pasta for dinner.
Now, the secret to good pasta.
I dont like pasta.
Thats because you
havent had mine.
Now, the way
they do it in Italia
is you add the
spaghetti to the sauce,
and not the
sauce to the spaghetti.
Mama mia no signori, ah.
You know how to cook?
Yeah.
My mom was not a fan of
Chinese takeout or pizza, so...
Is this your dad?
Yeah.
He used to make
me carry all his gear.
I hated it.
He thought it was hysterical.
That was in
the Blue Mountains.
He was a photographer.
Yeah. He was
the main photographer
for the
Hamilton Watch Company.
What about your dad?
Yeah, which one?
I had a lot of em.
Right. No, I meant your real--
Whats this?
That was a play I was in.
My mom kept all that stuff
I sent home from Hollywood.
What kind of
work did your dad do?
Were you in any movies?
I was in one.
The sum total of my role
was getting punched in the face.
Id like to see that.
Ecco! Time to put
the spaghetti in the sauce.
Morning.
-Morning, Jen.
-Morning.
Travis. Travis.
Thank you.
Morning, Renee.
We are here to sign this
young man back into school.
So, you have a
convicted felon living with you.
Until I can find him
somewhere more permanent.
And actually, Miriam,
hes out on bail.
Oh, sorry.
Soon-to-be-convicted.
Is there a problem?
Yes, there is, Stan.
You have brought him back here.
What exactly do you
know about this kid?
I know he likes photography.
Had you spotted that, Miriam?
No, bet you hadnt.
You should be very careful
taking in a kid like that.
If things start going missing,
dont complain or come to us.
Guys, I know exactly
why he was arrested, all right?
I also know that he was living
out of his car for two years.
Going hungry, only running track
so he could get a shower.
Well, let the system
take care of him, Stan.
You know, I didnt understand
how no one saw this happening.
But, youve all
just made that real clear.
So, thank you.
Todays quote
is from Jonathan Swift...
Hey...
Yo, youre back.
Yeah, with a record.
I owe you buddy.
Yeah, I cant hang out
with you, dude.
I gotta stay
clean till the hearing.
Yeah, here when you need me.
Hey, hey, wait.
Wait.
I missed you so freaking much.
I thought they kicked you out.
Yeah, Im turning around.
Why did you lie to me?
You were sleeping in
your car this whole time.
So what? Its pretty
freaking sweet, right?
I cant date you anymore.
What? Hey...
My dad said I cant
see you anymore.
What do you want?
Huh?
No, I cant. I cant.
My dad can be real mean.
He gave me no choice.
Come on.
No, this is it.
Really, Im sorry.
No. Tina.
Tina!
Ahh!
What?
Nate.
Nate.
Ah, great.
Run, Nathan. Run.
Nate.
Oh, no. Nate, Im not a runner.
Have mercy. Nate.
Oh, my lord.
Stan?
Stan.
Come on.
Hey. You okay?
Yeah. Im fine.
I just couldnt run anymore.
I cant do this.
Stan, Im cursed.
Everyones against me.
Youre not cursed,
but I wont lie to you.
This is going to be hard.
Face everything
and deal with it, Nate.
Running away
only delays the problem.
I cant.
You can.
This too shall pass.
What does that even mean, Stan?
It means that a year
from now, maybe even less,
this wont seem that important.
Then why the
heck am I here, then?
Thats a good question, Nate.
Why are you here?
Girls and sports.
Thats the wrong answer.
Whats the right answer, Stan?
Why its to
keep him out of jail, Bob.
You do realize that this
is your only chance with
the judge, right?
What do you get out of it?
What?
Everyones got an angle, Stan.
Expelled! Seriously?
He only just came back.
Im thinking about all
the students and their parents.
I already had a
dozen calls about him
coming back,
and I still took him in
and on his first day,
he rewards me by
punching out a window?
Well, put yourself
in his shoes, John.
Coming back here
after the way he left.
Stan, your first
priority is to this school.
Youre not a social worker.
Is it? I mean, is it, though?
Isnt my first priority to
my students, all of them?
You know, kids
come to me all the time,
with some problem
they think is so big
their whole life
is gonna be ruined,
and I say to them, Stand back.
Look at the big picture.
Youll get through this.
One day youll look back at it
and see it
wasnt such a big deal.
Your life
turned out just fine.
But you and I know this isnt
a level playing field, John.
Some kids are born
behind the eight ball,
and were lying
to them when we say
everythings
gonna work out just fine.
But dont those kids deserve
the same chance as the others?
I believe Nathans--
Theres a good kid there.
Please.
Give him detention.
Oh, my gosh.
I think hes gonna live
in detention until he graduates.
So have you found
somewhere for him?
No. No, I tried.
Theres no room at the inn.
Youve gotta be careful.
This is not the same
as being their teacher.
I know that.
No.
You dont.
I had this student one time.
She lost her dad, and then
her mom became an alcoholic.
She completely shut down.
Stopped showing up to school.
So I tried to help.
Had her come to the house.
But, uh...
It really affected
Robert and the girls.
What did you do?
I didnt do anything.
I watched her slip through
the cracks and into the system.
I never saw her again.
Okay.
Please keep in mind,
no speaking unless spoken to.
No arguing with the
Judge and look like a graduate.
Do you have another tie?
Never mind.
You said this was good.
Remember, this too shall pass.
Mr. Deen? Is it Mr. Stan Deen?
This is Mr. Deen, Your Honor.
Yes, thank you, Council.
Mr. Deen, I understand you are
providing supervision
for the defendant?
Yes, Your Honor.
Thank you, Mr. Deen, and
the defendants grandparents
are prepared to
assign custody to you?
Yes, we will.
And are you willing to
take on this responsibility?
I am, Your Honor.
Nathan Williams.
This charge carries an automatic
two-year minimum sentence.
I feel encouraged by
your return to school
and your plans to graduate.
I am minded to suspend
the bulk of that sentence.
And I note this is your first
appearance before the court.
72 hours at the local prison
will give you a taste
of what awaits
if you stray from your plan.
Failure to graduate guarantees
you serve
the sentence in full.
You will be appointed
a probation officer
to monitor your progress.
Thank you, Council.
Thats it?
Yeah, you did great.
You did it. Im proud of you.
I didnt do anything.
I stood there,
and kept my mouth shut.
Exactly.
So you knew the judge?
Not really.
Her daughter was in one of my
performing arts
classes years ago.
Shes on Broadway now.
Sweet girl.
You know, we cant have you
sleeping on the couch anymore.
Come on.
I think youll be
more comfortable here.
What about your moms stuff?
This is your room now.
Whats going on?
What do you doing this weekend?
Uh, nothing.
God, Carl is such a d*uche.
He thinks hes Mr. Miami Vice,
but hes more like Donny
Osmond than he is Don Johnson.
Maybe.
They built the scene.
Yeah. Thats good.
-Yeah.
-Better.
Nice.
Hows the job hunt going?
No, no one hires people
with a criminal record, Stan.
I told you that.
Okay, well,
its not gonna help, obviously,
but get your grades up
and graduate.
It will change.
Hey, I could use your help.
Building sets
for our new production.
-There it is.
-What?
You do want something from me.
No, no. If I cant
get a pay job,
I have to work for my board.
Thats not what I meant.
Thats it, Stan. No, Im not
interested in your stupid play.
Id say thats pretty clear.
Wait.
Tinas in this thing, right?
-Yes, but--
-Ill do it.
You got this.
This is just another
bump in the road.
Remember, a year from now--
Got it.
This too shall pass.
St. Bethanys in 73.
That would have made you, six?
Yeah.
There till 83,
including four different
foster home placements.
Okay.
Where are you now?
Im with my teacher.
Your teacher?
What about your grandparents?
No, they gave away custody.
What about your
last foster parents?
The-- was it the Williams?
They should be
your legal guardians.
No, you should be with them.
No, no. The judge said
I could be with my teacher.
It should be there.
Theres no
record of that here.
The Williams
are your guardians.
You should be--
Nah. They said
I could be with him.
This is ridiculous.
Hey, Viola!
Yeah?
I need some records
of the court case.
Hey, Barney!
Hey, Stan!
Hey! Hows Maggie?
Oh, I cant complain.
She started her own
business a few years back.
Youre kidding.
Thats great.
See, you met my student.
Hes staying with me
till he gets back on his feet.
The judge signed off on it.
So he told me.
Well, your teachers Stan Deen.
Why didnt you say so?
Okay, so youve got
72 hours of prison time
coming up in
the new year, right?
Right.
All right, check
in with me once a week.
I run a tight ship.
Is there anyone
you dont know?
Well, yes there is actually.
I dont know her.
I dont know them.
I dont know her.
Merry Christmas, Mr. Deen.
Oh, Merry Christmas, Annabelle.
-Right.
-We should be getting home.
Keep going.
Wow, good job.
Look at those moves.
You know whos going to
be in my next musical, right?
OK, guys, this is your set.
It looks great.
Good job.
Good job.
And this is Algernon,
right?
Merry Christmas, Nathan.
h*, h*, h*.
Who are all these presents for?
Theyre for you.
All of them? Theyre all mine?
Let me check.
Yours, yours,
yours, yours, yours.
Yep, all yours.
You bought all these for me?
Of course.
Nate. Nate!
Now what?
Nate. Get in the car.
Nate.
Whats wrong?
It doesnt matter.
Whyd you do that, Stan?
Buy all that sh*t?
Is it--am I poor little homeless
boy? Im a charity case?
It would make you feel good?
What?
No. Gosh, no. I mean,
I was trying to--
You do know
its Christmas, right?
Ive never gotten
Christmas presents.
You never got
a Christmas present?
We used to do
underwear at the orphanage.
Underwear?
Oh, geez.
Gosh darn it.
I forgot underwear.
Oh, God.
Everythings not a joke.
Stan, everythings not funny.
Okay. Okay.
So whyd you do it?
I was trying to
make you feel good, Nate.
I want you to
have a good Christmas.
Thats all.
Thats all.
Well, what else would it be?
Bullshit. Stan,
everyone wants something back.
You know, for eight years,
its just been me and my mom.
She always said I smothered her.
Stop it, Stan. Dont fuss.
I didnt have anyone
to buy presents for this year.
I guess I was
thinking about me.
Im sorry.
I apologize.
Merry Christmas,
Mr. Deen.
Oh, Merry Christmas.
Who was that?
Please, can we get in the car?
Have mercy.
Right.
Now I see how this might come
across as a little overboard.
Yeah, you think?
You know, I
didnt get you anything.
Actually, you did.
Do--
Here. Here you go.
Merry Christmas,
Stan.
Merry Christmas, Stan.
Thank you, Nate.
What is it?
Just what I wanted.
Thank you, Nate.
Right. Now lets
get to the good part.
Merry Christmas, Nate.
Youre the weirdest person ever.
Uh, you know that
Hershey bar you gave me?
The one in class?
Yeah.
At the orphanage,
when I first went to the
orphanage, I didnt talk.
For two years,
I just didnt speak.
And the keepers
would always bribe me
with a candy bar
to get me to talk.
And I never did.
Never took it.
And I never talked, so.
I know when you did that,
you didnt want anything back.
You know, so.
Thank you.
Youre welcome.
Stan.
Merry Christmas, Nate.
Alice is an attractive
woman. Shes not married.
And theres nothing wrong.
You stay away from
your sisters friends.
Do you hear me, Charlie?
Youve got to
stay away from girls.
If you go near a girl,
Im going to put you in a cage
for the rest of your life.
Do you hear me,
Charlie? Do you hear me?
Okay, Carol. You need to be
really scary, okay?
Look.
When Charlie tries to be
romantic and close with Alice,
he gets this
sudden memory of his mom
being all mean
to him because as a kid,
whenever hed have those
feelings for any girl,
thats how shed react, okay?
Really mean.
So these memories,
they pop out of nowhere
and it really frightens
Charlie, okay?
Try again.
Oh, rehearsal shots.
Yeah, I thought they could
use them for the program.
If they want.
Oh, theyll want.
These are good.
Yeah, cool.
These are good, Nate.
Where did you learn to do this?
At a foster family I went to.
One of the real kids
there had a camera
and I stole it and used it.
Real kids?
Yeah, yeah.
Thats what we used
to call them in the orphanage.
What was the orphanage like?
It was alright.
Keepers are okay.
Keepers?
Yeah, they ran it.
They tried their best.
Do you remember your
home before that? Where it was?
No, not really.
My mom used to
call it Green Acres.
After the TV show?
Right.
So was she like Eva Gabor?
She was the star of the show.
Very glamorous. Very beautiful.
Yeah, yeah, I guess so,
yeah.
She stood out. Remember that.
Wed go out and people
would stare at her all the time.
Remember feeling pretty cool.
And your dad?
Maybe that could be
the cover of the program.
Hmm. Wonder why.
Once more unto the breach,
dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up
with our English dead.
Nathan...
Were gonna play a
new game tonight, okay?
Its gonna be a lot of fun.
Were gonna run,
really, really fast.
As far as we can,
for as long as we can.
And were not gonna stop
until I say so, okay?
You can do that?
You promise me? Okay.
Okay, cmon sweetie.
Gloria,

Nathan, hurry.
Come on, quicker.
Run now, baby, run.

Okay.
Guys, take five.
We have a problem.
-It sucked.
-Good.
It wasnt supposed

I have some bad news for you.

Shes out of bounds.
Thats not fair, Stan.
Nate, look
at the big picture.
No, I get it.
I get it.
Help me, Stan.
I like her. I have...
real feelings for her.
How do I handle that?
I cant just make them go away.
I will.
It may not

Im gonna catch you,
later.
Hey, would you,
would you wait a minute?
What?
I just, I brought you flowers.
I wanted to say
you did a great job.
I know you cant talk
to me anymore or whatever,
but I thought you should know
how great you were on stage.
Hey, Ive,
Ive turned it around.
Okay, I have, and I
know your dad doesnt want us
talking anymore or whatever.
Its not my
dad, Nathan, okay?
Its me.
Great show, man.
You k*lled it.
-Congrats.
-Thank you so much.
Thank you, so much.
I picked them out
myself, right?
Theyre beautiful.
-Thank you.
-Get out of here.
Man, I can do
what I want.
-Nate!
-Shes not your girl anymore.
Stop!
What are you doing?
Just ruin everything.
Hey Nate!
Lets get out of here.
Yeah.
Where were you?
Your probation officer?
You had a meeting?
So what?
I messed up.
You attacked
a student at school!
With a bunch of flowers,
Stan. Come on.
When are you gonna
stop pulling this crap, Nathan?
Its what I do, Stan?
You gonna try and fix me?
You know many people have tried?
Why, you ungrateful little--
No, say it.
Was it ungrateful little...
-sh*t.
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
Yeah, sh*t.
A liar, a loser, a failure.
Ive heard it all before, Stan.
Screw you, dude.
Screw me, really, Nate?
Thats a little
quaint for you, isnt it?
I mean, I guess this is better
than you mooching
and slouching around.
Maybe were getting somewhere.
Come on, what else you got?
-Get out of my face.
-Come on, what else you got?
Everyone thinks
youre frickin amazing, Stan.
Youre just a
failed frickin actor.
-Ooh.
-Yeah.
I mean, and one day
Im gonna tell you exactly
whats frickin wrong with you.
-Okay, lets do it right now.
-You wanna do it right now?
-Right now!
-Youre so frickin optimistic.
Okay. What else?
Go back to Hollywood, fail
again, stop trying to be safe.
-Stan!
-And miss this.
A fight with Nate Williams
at long last.
Come on, Nate. What else
you got? I can take it.
You know, whether its
something your dad did to you
or your mom didnt do, you
have got to deal with it, Nate.
You were gonna say something.
-No, I wasnt...no.
-You were.
Please, tell me. I saw it.
No, no, no.
I messed up, Stan.
Thats it.
Well, you cant afford to
blow it anymore, Nate.
I dont care!
Why do you
care if I dont care?
Am I supposed to be shocked?
Oh, forget it.
Nate Williams doesnt care
because hes too cool.
Well, guess what, Nate?
I care.
Yeah.
I care that you go
to school and you graduate.
I care that you dont
blow it with Barney
and the judge.
I care that
you dont go to prison.
What did Barney say?
Hes not a happy man, Nate.
Come on, lets talk.
Were talking.
Really talk?
I dont know.
My dad was a bad person.
Im a bad person.
Thats what Ive been told.
Thats what it is.
Except youre not
a bad person, okay?
Youve just had bad luck.
Yeah.
Hey.
I cant let you
come on the trip, Nate.
You attacked Carl.
Yeah, its okay.
I get it.
Its actually not okay.
So...and
Barney needs to see you.

-Good night.
-Good night, Mr. D.
Good night.
Okay, thank you.
What on earth...
Stan.
What is wrong with you?
Look, Stan, I--
After everything
Ive done for you.
Pearls before swine.
What does that mean?
It means whats the
point in trying to help someone
whos too
stupid to appreciate it?
Thats what that means, Nate.
Thats what you think of me?
Well, what am I
supposed to think, Nate?
Look at this place.
Some friends came over
and it got out of hand.
I dont want to hear it.
At least I have friends, Stan.
Without my friends,
youd be in jail.
You just took me in
because youre lonely.
Oh my lord.
I cant look at you right now.
Just get out.
Please.
Just get out.
Hola amigo.
Mi casa es tu casa.
What are you doing?
Just keepin her
warm for you, man.
Its a joke.
All right, I think you
need a drink, huh?
Yeah, lets go.
Welcome to Woodstock.
Oh,...
Its not funny.
Its hilarious.
Oh.
Im such an as*h*le.
Old Stan, Stan the man,
he didnt deserve that sh*t.
How can I do that sh*t?
But then, how
can I not do that?
You know?
Excuse me, guys.
-Hey, how you doing?
-Good, how are you?
Can I interest
you in a little bit of that? No?
You said you
saw something in him.
That he had the potential
to be a good young man.
You saw that.
This is the senior year,
last semester.
And Ive seen worse.
And the really important thing
to remember, Stan, is that...
The really important thing
for me to remember?
Deb?
Deb?
What is the important thing?
Im listening.
What?
Gloria!
Please, stop, please!
Stop! Stop! No! No! No!
Come on!

25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30.
Where are we at?
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8...
Did we get
any response from him?
10, 11, 12, 13, 14.
Any response from him?
Any response?
17, 18, 19, 20,
21, 22, 23, 24
Ah, we got him back.
Good. I see a pulse.
Weve got a pulse.
Give me the
blood pressure reading.
Check his
pulse once again.
Lets order some labs.
Give me a CBC, PFP.
I need a neck
and chest x-ray.
I cant stop pissing.
Well, you had yourself
quite a party there last night,
young man.
They got to
flush out your system.
Good luck.
Hey, Barney.
Stan.
I just wanted to come by,
see how youre doing.
Im doing okay.
Hes doing better.
Yeah.
On his way to a full recovery.
Thats good.
Because obviously
as Im your P.O.,
theyve told me everything.
Right.
What were you trying to do,
Nathan? Fly off that bridge?
I mean you miss our appointment,
which is a violation.
Then you end up in a
hospital with your system
full of enough narcotics
to knock out a horse.
You know what happens when
this gets in front of the judge.
Please, Barney.
Stan, its okay.
Youve done enough.
Sir, I know
what you have to do.
Tell him what happened.
What?
Tell Barney what happened.
Tell me what happened.
I want to hear.
He knows what happened.
No. What happened
with your mom?
You saw it.
There was no accident.
Tell us. Ill--
well believe you.
Ill believe you.
Tell us.
My father was an angry man.
Thats all I ever remember.
Thats all I was ever told.
He used to beat my mom.
And eventually she just
got the cops to kick him out,
told him to stay away.
Then she met this
guy who just made her,
he made her so happy.
She was so happy.
Which-- that just,
drove my dad insane.
Drove him crazy.
And he-- I remember
hed follow us in his car,
stalking her basically, like
spying on her, spying on us.
One day, after he-- Blake,
was a, the guy
my mom was seeing, Blake.
After he left, he
was staying at our house,
he left, and I guess
dad was just sitting there.
Hed been sitting
there all night just waiting,
just watching and
waiting for Blake to leave.
So when he did, he pulled in.
And I ran up to him and I...
And he shot her.
Shot her with
his hunting r*fle.
Shot her twice.
And I watched her die.
After a while he,
he left, he went outside.
After some time, I dont
know how long, but I got up too.
And I followed him and I
walked out to the front porch.
Im sorry, son.
If I cant have her,
no one else can.
My God.
Oh lord--
I just stayed there,
sat there, until this woman,
probably a neighbor, I think,
she came and picked me up
and took me to her house,
put me in a tub and
washed all of his...
Nanny and Grandpa came,
and they picked me up and
they took me to their place.
And Nanny was so upset.
She was so
upset, of course, right?
But then, she said we couldnt
say what actually happened.
You have to say that
your mom died in a car crash.
You have to say that
because then, you know,
you cant have people knowing
what your father had done.
Because theyre going to think
that youre going to grow up
and youre going to do
the same thing.
That apple doesnt
fall far from the tree sh*t.
So whenever Id say
what actually happened,
that my father had k*lled
himself, after k*lling my mom,
shed stop me. Shed stop me and
say I was making up stories.
And then I...
Thats what she told the
people at Bethanys
when she put me there.
So I just...
You know, I stopped talking.
I had nothing to say anyway.
That was my fault.
What was?
What he did.
No, it wasnt.
You werent there, Stan.
You werent there.
You didnt see his face.
You didnt see his
reaction when I said...
Because I ran up to him
when he got there, I said...
I said, Is Blake
going to be my new daddy?
The look on his
face was just pure...
pain.
It wasnt your fault?
No, it was. If I didnt
say anything,
he wouldnt have got so mad.
It wasnt your fault.
He was already there, Nate.
Thats why he brought the g*n.
Stop letting him off
the hook by blaming yourself.
It wasnt your fault.
Come on.
Poor kid.
Yeah.
Next time, Stan,
if he messes up again,
hes going straight in front of
the judge, so help me God.
Thanks, Barney.
You tell him.
I will. Thank you. Thank you.
Hey, I gotta go somewhere.
Can you take me?
Hi mom.
Okay, thats it from me.
Merry Christmas, everybody.
Merry Christmas!
Adieu...adieu... remember me.
See you next year.
See you next year, Mr. Deen.
See you next year.
See you next year, Mr. Deen.
