The arraignment went
as smooth as silk.

We've got to talk
about how to handle
yourselves on the stand.

Why? Are we gonna
be cross-examined,
or something?

Don't worry, you'll
have plenty of time to
practice beforehand.

That's one of the reasons
I brought you in here today.

Okay?

-Sure.
-Yes, sir.

You really shouldn't worry.
The jury's gonna love
you guys.

Now, I got to take care
of a couple of things,

And then I'll bring you in
and we'll do a little
mock-cross.

You guys sit tight.

Okay, thanks.

Okay, all we have to do
is what fellows told us
and we get to go home.

Simple as that, right?

I'm gonna
find a rest room.

I'll be right back.

Okay.

I saw you
with that D.A.

Excuse me?

You're the woman who's
gonna testify against
Albert, right?

Look--

Why are you so scared?

Albert's the one
who should be scared.

Look, can I
just say this, miss?

I can tell
you're a nice lady,

and Albert's my brother.

And he's always been
this smart kid,

and it's just in
the last couple of years

he's been getting
into trouble.

But all he does
is steal stuff.

Look, I don't think
that we should be--

You can ask the cops.
I mean, Albert's
a thief,

but it's just 'cause
he's got a baby boy
to feed.

Just stop talking to me.

I just want you to
know who my brother
really is.

Look, I don't care, okay?

Just go away.

I'm sorry.

I'm just trying
for my baby brother.

I'm just trying,
you know?

Oh, I'm sorry.
I don't
have to study here.

-Ned--
-No, really, Julia.

I mean, we're gonna
bump into each other.

It's gonna be
weird and awkward and--

You lost control,
didn't you?

That's the only time
you've ever been
that mad,

scared, really.

And you were scared
'cause you thought that

me not
wanting the apartment
was me not wanting us.

Yeah, that's--
That's exactly--

That's exactly right.

That's what I was trying
to explain to you.

You just went crazy.

You lost control.
Everyone loses control
sometimes.

It's like the more you

care about someone,

the easier it is
to get that mad at them.

And you just care, Ned.

And how can I hold
that against you?

How did you
get so amazing?

I love you, Ned.

So I reviewed
your previous policy

and I just have
a couple of questions.

Now, Diana Salinger
is who?

This little peanut here.

This little wet peanut.

Okay, good.

But you might want to
think about claiming your
wife or girlfriend, too.

It's just me and Diana.

Oh. Okay, good.

I mean, not good.
Just-- whatever.

Uh, anyway, have you
decided on an amount?

-Uh, half a million?
-Um...

Now, actually, I'm
going to have to witness
you signing this,

and we're still waiting for
your mortgage information,

but I can take that.

Um...

But I could stop by
your house tomorrow night

and drop it off.

Is this still
your same address?

Yes. Yes, it is.

You guys do that here?

Sure, why not?

What else am I gonna do,
take a bath, watch TV,

call the boyfriend
I don't have?

[laughs] Great.
Okay, thank you.

It's Beth.

Okay.

Bye.

The service
is great here.

So you were harassed by
this guy's sister and
you didn't tell me?

You didn't
tell the D.A.?

No, because I knew that
you were gonna react
like this.

Look, she was just trying,
you know,
like she said, trying--

Trying? Yeah, trying
to scare you out
of testifying.

But it wasn't like that.

She just wanted to tell me
that Albert had a baby,

you know, and that he's
never really hurt anybody.

Sarah, he hurt you,

whether he used
that Kn*fe or not.

I know, but--

But what?

What, are you saying

that you bought
this stuff that
she said to you?

God, no, I hated it.

I mean, she made me
feel guilty, you know.

She made me feel
like it was my fault

that her brother's
in trouble.

Well, I'm going
to see to it for sure

that these people leave
you alone, all of them. All of who?
It was just his sister.

Well, his family
shouldn't be able to get
in our face this way.

Fellows said
we'd be protected.

And when do you have
to go back there again?

Tomorrow. I have
to call for a time.

We are putting ourselves
on the line here,

helping them
get a criminal,

and we have to
be afraid like this?
How sick is that?

I never said that
I was afraid of her.

I was just saying

that I resent her for
making me feel guilty.

But I'll go back.

I mean,
I want to go back.

It's just really
confusing right now.

It's okay.

It's gonna be all right.

67,000 children.

Thank you, Dale.

Okay, we'll
see you then.

She says we passed
the homestudy,

and she wants to see us
tomorrow at 2:30.

Oh, great, great.
Look at this.
See how this happens?

You get
an unstable government,
social unrest,

bread lines long,
it's total chaos.

God, look
at those faces.

The state-run adoption
system just shuts down
completely.

Meanwhile,
children are born,
waiting lists grow.

But, Paul,
I don't know.

What?

I think
international adoptions
take a really long time, the passports,
the paperwork?

The Internet stuff
said years even.

Yeah, but the stuff
I read said it
can take less time.

I mean, the orphanages
in China,

they're
just overflowing.

And who's going
anywhere anyway?

It's a lifetime we're
talking about, isn't it?

Yeah.

Yeah, but what?

Look at these faces.

We're gonna adopt.
Okay, so, let's save
a child, too, Kirsten.

Let's save a child.

We could, couldn't we?

Yeah. We could.

Yeah.

Griffin, oh, my God,
you scared me.

Sorry.
Maggie let me in,

and then she had
a class to get to.

What are you
doing here?

Well, I had
the day off, so I--

[sneezes]

Oh, bless you.

Anyway,
I figured

I'd come down and
check on your car.
Are you sick?

The car.
Griffin...

I told you last week
it was just a minor
little tap.

Yeah, well, you know,
I was thinking,

a little tap like that
could really mess up
the alignment.

Anyway, I already took it to
the shop to have it checked.

It's there right now.

Oh, yeah?
What shop?

I'll run by there and
make sure they're not
ripping you off.

No, Griffin.
Look, I'm sure it's fine.
They're friends of Ned's.

Ned's?

Look, I'm sorry
that you came by,

but you should have
called first, you know,

'cause my car's not here,
and I can't stay
and chat.

I've got a class.

Yeah.

Listen, Julee...

You know that
I'm still here for you
if you need me, right?

I mean, nobody else
knows that old car
like I do, right?

I've got
to get to class.

No, dude, they're
pseudo-ska-punk-posers playing fake
agro happy pop

on these brand-new
instruments bought for
them by their parents.

No, they're dumb,
white suburban kids

doing imitations of
sixties Jamaican ska.

Whatever.

Listen, I got to go.
Say hi to your mom, okay?
Bye.

Hi.

Remember me?

Yeah, I sure do.

Listen, I came by here
to ask you to come
back to the band.

No can do.

Well, then, you
have to tell me why.

'Cause you
quit when I joined,

and I don't know what
I did that just, like,
drove you running.

All right, listen.

Would you
drive 200 miles
and spend five hours

looking through
John Fogerty's
hotel room trash

for a broken
guitar string?

His trash?

Would you move out
of your mom's place

because she wouldn't let
you have practice there

and sell
your grandfather's
world w*r I dog tags

to buy a 45-watt
Fender Bassman?

I might if I knew
what a Fender Bassman was.

Yeah, well,
would you,

would you show up at
the Jumpi' Blue's joint
at 5001, Fillmore street

tomorrow night
at midnight

based on a rumor that
Taj Mahal might show up

to do a little
impromptu blues jam?

I might if I didn't have
this trig test
to study for.

Well, that's exactly
why I left the band
when you joined, okay?

The cashier's
at the front.

[Ned] Hi, there.

You always sneak up
on people like that?

You always poke
around parking lots.

Well, I just
thought I'd come down
and check up on things.

Get hit like Julia did--

What are you
talking about?

Oh, what? She didn't
tell you about it? Well, apparently,
some...

jerk tapped her,
on that service road
behind the dorm.

A lot of idiots
out there.

Some guys shouldn't
even be on the road.

Don't you think,
correct me
if I'm wrong,

but guy-to-guy here,

you two are
separated, right?

Dichotomized? Sundered?

How about... Split?

Does that ring
a bell for you?

Now, why don't you
come right out and say
what you want to say?

I think you should

leave all
the husband-boyfriend-
lover jobs to me now,

like fixing her car...

Or fixing her anything
for that matter, okay?

Look at her,
she's so cute.

Look at those
little ears.

Mr. Salinger,

I could come
over and help you
with the baby

anytime
you ever wanted.

Rumor has it you're
a bachelor dad.

The rumor's true.
Thanks, Amanda.

[school bell rings]

Okay, you guys,
that was the bell.

Bye.

Mr. Pimpernipple hates it
when I call him Frank,

but could I
call you Charlie,
Mr. Salinger?

Yes, absolutely.

I hate to be so formal.

I'm really a very
casual person.

I like hiking and picnics

and classical music and--

Would you come with me
to the city council meeting
tomorrow night?

We could use a voice for
the arts funding campaign.

Tomorrow night?
Um... Sure.

It starts at 9:00.

But we could get together
for a cup of coffee first
and discuss your thoughts.

Come by my house
at 7:30.

Great.

Perfect.

Okay.

Thanks, Charlie.

Hey, Amanda...

Looks like I could
use you tomorrow night.
Are you free?

Free? Me?

Oh, my God!

What time?

Hey, you two.

Did Lauren
get you coffee?

Yes.

[Kirsten] Thank you,
yes.

Have a seat

and brace yourselves.

I have a very dear friend,
an O.B. in Houston,
who called last week.

A delta alpha chi kid
from S.M.U.

has been
hiding her pregnancy
under her sweatshirt.

I submitted your names
as soon as I heard.

Direct placement,

closed adoption,

she chose you.

You could be on a plane
as soon as next week
picking up your baby.

But how?
So fast?

I thought the waiting list--
I mean,

aren't there couples
who've been waiting longer?

Yes, but they are not
a pediatric neurosurgeon
and an at-home wife

with a background
in child psychology.

She chose you.

He has blond hair
and he has blue eyes as
light as yours, Kirsten.

It is a perfect match.

He? Yeah.

Did you hear that?
He.

Mr. Fellows
won't be a minute.
Can I get you something?

No, thank you.

I hate it when that happens.

Yeah, me, too.

[Fellows] Sarah, ready for you.

You know, can I talk
to you for a sec?

Sure. What's up?

You know,
about my dad,

about the trouble
that we went
through

when Jill and I
were little?

Yeah, I think I know
something about that, yeah.

Yeah. He had a hard time
dealing with stuff.

That was, like,
out of his control.

And anytime anything
bad would happen,

he'd come up with
some reason, to,

to smack us around.

That kind of deal,
whenever,

someone has so much
anger pent up in them,

I can, like,

smell that now,

you know?

Like a mile away.

It's like a--
like a sixth sense.

What's going on?

Well, last week,
Julia came home,

and she had a--
a sprained arm...

She said that she
got in a car accident,

but...

I think she was lying.

What are you saying,
you think that Ned did it?

I think so, yeah.

I don't think so,
Griffin.

I don't.

I mean, maybe...

Maybe this is--
is more about you.

What do you mean?

I don't know,
maybe it's about--

About you feeling bad
about her moving on.

I want Julia to move on.
I do.

I mean, why do you think
I stayed here last year

and didn't
move to Palo Alto?

That's not it.
There's something
going on down there.

Listen, I know my sister.

Well, that's okay.
Forget about it.

I can handle this alone
if I have to.

There's no music
on paper up there.

See these guys just
close their eyes.

When you
play from your soul,

you don't
play music,

music plays you.

You learn to play
like that, I'll come
back to the band.

Well, maybe you could
help me figure it out.

Maybe you could teach me.

Yeah, maybe I could.

You got here tonight?

Come on.

All right, look, here,

close your eyes, okay?

Now,
focus your attention
on the b*at of the drum,

all right?

The groove.

Did you feel that?

I mean, do you feel
the groove, Claudia?

[applause]

I'm not used to this.

My sick days were usually
spent trying to cough
louder than my brothers.

My bedside manner
I got from doctor Dad.

He was great when
I was near death. Of course, I'd
rather been blessed

with a mechanic father
like Griffin.

I saw him in
the parking lot earlier
looking at your car.

You weren't going
to tell me he came by?

Oh, what's to tell?

I don't know.

The guy drives an hour
to check out a scratch
on his ex-wife's car,

ex-wife fails to mention
ex-husband came by,

sort of telling.

I didn't mention it because
it didn't mean anything.

Yeah, but I can't
crawl inside your head
and know that, Jule.

Now, how do I you two
aren't gonna get back
together some day?

You're separated,
after all, not divorced.

That is just a matter
of paperwork, Ned.

Yeah, well,
if that's true, why
do you talk to him?

Why is he still around?

Are you saying you never
want me to see him again?

Is that too much to ask?
Is it?

I mean, you are,
the last time I checked,

the woman I love

through good times
and bad, through
sickness and health.

No, I haven't said it
in a church or anything
like Griffin--

He is not a thr*at
to you, Ned.

So now what are you
saying, I'm paranoid?

'Cause I don't--
I don't have to stick
around for that.

No, Ned, wait.

I'm not listen,
I'm not saying that.

Okay, just...

Forget about it.
Forget about it. I-- I see your point.

You've got a point.

You know what I miss?

Having an appetite.

Right.

I get it.

I shouldn't cook.

People who work
at restaurants shouldn't
cook at home.

No, Bailey, the reason
I'm not eating is the same
reason I'm not sleeping.

This whole thing's
gonna be over soon.

Now that we have
this restraining order,

you don't have to worry
about anybody hassling
you anymore.

What restraining order?

I went to see Fellows.

I told him
what happened,
and he agreed with me.

We've got
an order out on
the guy's whole family.

You put out a restraining
order on Albert's family
without even telling me?

Yes, I did.

We shouldn't have
to walk around
like this,

unprotected.

And I saw how
scared you were.

No, you didn't.

You don't know
how I feel, okay?

I don't know
how you feel?

Look, I saw him today.

Him, who?
Albert Terry?

You saw him?

How? Where?

By accident.

He was coming out
of the D.A.'s office
as I was going in.

They had him in handcuffs.

Did he see you?

Yeah, he talked to me.

What? See, that is
exactly what should
not be happening.

It wasn't exactly talking.

Bailey, listen to me.
I looked at him,

and I didn't see this--
This awful guy who terrified
me at Kn*fe-point

like I said
in the statement.

What are you
talking about?
What did you see?

It's gonna sound
really weird,

but he is just a kid.

You know, but-- but
not like somebody that
we'd know.

More like somebody we'd
be on a bus with.

But it got me thinking,
you know, about how he's
never hurt anybody.

He never hurt anybody?
He hurt you.

Sarah, he hurt us.

But he didn't, Bailey.

I mean, he could have,
but he ran.

You know, so all he's done
is he's broken into cars,

and I guess he stole
a computer for a school
in Noe Valley.

According to who,
his sister?

No, Mr. Fellows told me.

He showed me a big list,
and I guess it was supposed
to scare me or something,

but it had almost
the opposite effect on me.

He stole stuff,
yeah, Bailey,

but he's never touched
anybody before.

This person should be
taken off the streets
and locked up.

I know.

God, I know that that's
what everyone keeps saying,
but, Bailey, I--

But what?

I mean, that is what
we're gonna do here,
right?

We're gonna lock
this guy up. Oh, hey.

What are you
doing home?
Are you sick?

I almost lost a little
girl this morning.

One and a half.

Long surgery.

I'm sorry, Paul.

Undetected brain tumor.

The parents had
no health insurance,

so the kid had
never had a checkup.

It's gotta make you think,
you know?

They almost lose a child
because they don't have
any money,

and we get one
because we do.

I know it seems unfair.

We're very fortunate.

No, I don't know,
Kirsten.

What?

I don't know if...

What don't you know?

I don't know if
this is the right way.

If we shouldn't just wait
and do this like we said,

in Romania or China,

like in those
articles I showed you.

Okay, but, Paul, Paul,

look, I understand
your concerns,

and I think
they're great
and admirable.

They're why I love you. But...

There is
a little baby boy,

not in theory...

But an actual little
baby boy waiting for us
in Houston.

Are you saying that
you don't want him?

Not this way.

I call Dale, and I'll
tell her to call it off. Okay, I'm gonna make
an assumption here.

You're tellin' me now
that you're not sure if
Albert Terry's the guy.


Now, I'm gonna assume
that that's a lie.

His sister threatened
you, so you're afraid.

You're afraid that
Albert Terry's family is
gonna go on a get-even kick

if he gets sent
to prison, right?

Wrong. Look, why do I feel
like I'm the one getting
cross-examined here?

I think I know how I feel.

Sarah--

No. I'm not the one
who's done something wrong.

That's right, Sarah.

You're guilty of nothing.

Except if you let your fear
get the best of you.

Look, I just don't understand
why he has to go to jail
because he can't get a job

or doesn't have enough money
to feed his kid.

So you
admit that he did it,
yet you won't testify?

Why?

Because you think
he's the victim here,

that you think it's
someone else's fault--
My fault, your fault,

the world's fault
that he is who he is?

Who is he?
And you and Bailey,

you sit here
and you talk about him
like he's an animal.

He's a human person
with a child and a sister
and who knows what else?

Don't you think
that if somebody
has to resort to stealing

that there's gotta be
a problem behind it somehow?

Sarah...

Albert Terry, no matter
what the reasons,
is a violent criminal.

Your compassion is not
gonna change that fact.

I can still testify
if she won't, right?

With Sarah refusing
to corroborate?

[sighs]

If Sarah wants to
walk him, he walks.

Sarah...

I can't be sure
that Albert Terry
is a violent criminal

who deserves to go to jail,

and I won't say that.

[Amanda] Well,
he said to meet him here.

My brother... Charlie?

Yeah. Do you know
when he'll be back?

You know what? I hope
he's gonna be back
any minute now,

so why don't you
just come in and sit
in the living room?

With his other date.

Hi.

Hello.

[doorbell rings]

I'll just...
I'll get that.

Hi...

I have a date...

With Charlie.

You, too?

I mean, you do?

I'm Claudia,
Charlie's sister.

Well, you know what?
Why don't you
just come on in?

He should
be home any minute.

[whispers]
I hope.

Hi...

Amanda.

Hi, Ms. Walsh.

Would any of you
like a fight
a sprite?

You know, a soda
or somethin'?

Yes, thank you.

[Amanda] Yes, thank you.

Okay.

[knock on door]

Come in, Ned. It's open.

Hey.

Griffin, damn it,
what are you doing here?

Just let me
say one thing--

You can't
do this anymore.

You can't come by
without calling first.

Is he--
is he hitting you?

What?

Is he hitting you?

Griffin--

'Cause it's okay.
It's not your fault.

[knock on door]

Damn it, Griffin,
I cannot believe
you're doing this to me.

Ned.

What is this?

Griffin
was just leaving.

I don't even know
what he's doing here.

Does this bother you,
me being here?

Is this what you meant
by our little chat
we had yesterday?

Griffin, stop it.

What? You control
who comes in and out
of her dorm room?

You control who comes in
and out of her life?

Griffin, Ned and I
are none of your business.

Would you please just leave?

No.

You heard the lady.
Leave.

Ned, just let him go, okay?

Griffin, just go.

Make me.
She said leave!

Ned, stop it, please.

-Do you feel better now?
-Griffin, just leave!

'Cause I know
you wanna hit me.

That's what you do, right?

Griffin, stop it
and just leave!

Ned, don't!

Griffin, just leave, please.

She's not gonna admit it.

I think
I've proven my point.

Charlie.

Hey.

"Hey"? Hey,
are you aware that

there are three
very dressed-up,

ready-to-be-swept-
off-their-feet women

waiting for you
in the living room?

What? Oh, yeah.

Pantyhose and lipstick,

very recently
shaved legs.

I'm telling you,
he asked me over.

Well, you must have
misinterpreted him.

So do you always ask
three women out at once?

Is that, like,
what you're into
or something?

You were dropping off
insurance forms.

Look, you're
either very slick
or very thick, pal.

He's thick.

No, I'm not.

Why do you think
I take shop, Mr. Salinger?

Do you think I'm actually
interested in wood?

You always say
you love my classes.

I mean, what about
the extra-credit
projects.

Amanda, wait.
Listen. Listen. Wait.

Ms. Walsh,
help me out here.

Oh, you don't want to
know what I thought.

You, too?

I don't know what to say.

I'm so sorry that
I misled all of you.

Dating just hasn't crossed
my mind in a long time.

I never thought
I'd ever say that.

See, I...

I've pretty much found
the love of my life for now.

This little woman,
this one little woman...

My baby girl.

My Diana.

[crying]

That would be her.

So...

If you'll excuse me.

[sigh]

There's nothing sexier
than a single guy
with a snugly.

Hospital cafeteria.

Not famous for its
fresh, crisp produce.

I called Dale.

She was disappointed.

She tried to convince me
that sometimes a stork
flies over

and drops a baby
in a couple's lap
'cause it's meant to be.

But I told her it wasn't...

Meant to be.

Not meant to be
this way. No.

I think maybe, Paul...

Not meant to be.

Not this way or any way.

Why do you think that?

I thought
we talked this over.

I think...

That the reason we're
not on a plane right now
flying to Texas--

I think we're not
on the plane right now...

Because we're never gonna be.

Am I right?

I didn't mean
to mislead you.

So you heard that Cody's
back in the band, right?

Yeah...

I heard.

I heard you heard.

He told me he told you.

Look, Claudia--

Why did you tell him
to stay away from me?

Because in like
a couple of weeks,

you're gonna find out
what a jerk he is.

I'm trying to
save you the effort.

But no one asked you
to save me the effort.

Look, it's easy to fall
for jerks, all right?

I'm just tellin' you,
don't.

It's not worth it,
all right?

Now, there are plenty
of guys out there who
wouldn't let you

wander down
Fillmore street in
the middle of the night.

But that's not
your decision to make.

It is.

It is because...

It is because
I care about you, okay?

Now, you got a decision
to make here.

It's either the band
or Cody.

Not both.

It's just
that simple.

I'm on my way to bed.

Okay.

I've got another
hour here.

It's good you're able
to concentrate again.

Must mean
your conscience is okay.

It shouldn't be?

You make
your own decisions.

Okay, is that because
I decided not to ruin
someone else's life?

I don't know, Sarah?
What about our lives?

What about other
people's lives,

people who work hard
for a living?

[thunder]

People who don't steal,

don't hurt other people.

People who just mind
their own business

until one day, when
they've got their backs
turned--

That is all
I have right now.

All you have?
What's all you have?

My belief, Bailey.

My faith in other people
and second chances,

you know, for him,
for me, for everybody.

That's what I have
that's gonna get me back
to my old self again.

That's what's gonna
keep me from being afraid
all the time, everywhere I go.

Do you want me to lose that?

Do you want me to feel scared
for the rest of my life?

So you just go around,
and whatever people
do to you,

you just
let them because
it's not their fault?

What do you do
if you don't put these
people behind bars?

Because I don't get it,
Sarah. What do you do?

I don't know, Bailey.

Something else.

Okay, like what?

Really, tell me.

I don't know.

Don't be up
too late, okay?

Okay.

Oh! Come on.

Why didn't you
call from inside?

I would have gone over.

Yeah, I know.
I just...

I wanted us
to be alone to talk
about this whole thing.

Here.

I know
that you're probably
still upset with me,

and I know everybody
including you thinks
I should butt out,

but I can't.

I can't just stand by
and do nothing, all right?

I'm worried about you.

Okay, and I
appreciate that.

I do. I understand,
and I'm not mad anymore.

You're not?

No.

Of course not.

How can I be
when all you are
is worried about me?

I just...

This is difficult. What is it?

What's goin' on
with you, Jule?

Would you tell me?

I called Emmet...

And he's gonna draw up
the divorce, okay?

What?

He's gonna file
on my behalf,

and he said
if you want to know
anything about it,

you just have to
call him up.

This is why
you came down here?

We don't have any money,
so it's gonna be simple,

just signing a bunch
of paperwork, okay?

I can't believe this!

Look, Griffin,
Ned and I-- we're
making a go of this,

and you hovering and
looking over my shoulder
and making judgments--

Looking over your shoulder?

This is the first time
I've been down there
since you started!

But you're still
in my life, Griffin.

You live with my family,
for god's sakes,

and it's not fair
to you to have to worry
about me

when I can't...

When I can't worry about
you anymore. I can't...

Worry about you anymore,
Griffin.

Please...

This...

This... That's it?

That's it.

I came as soon as I could.

It's brutal out there.

Excuse me?

Can I get a regular
cup of coffee, please?

[waitress] Sure.

What's goin' on?

Kirsten, what?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry
I'm such a mess.

What happened?

What's goin' on?

I had him, Charlie.

Had him who?

I came this close...

To a baby.

And, Paul...

He ran...

As fast as he could.

He didn't want to,

but he just...

He couldn't help it.

And now the baby's gone.

And that's it.

I don't know how to
forgive him, Charlie.

I don't know
if I can forgive him.

I just...

I don't know if I
can do this anymore.

I just don't know
if I can.

It's okay.

Come here.

Come here.

And the lawyer?

She said...

That he had my eyes.

It was...

He was a...

A perfect match.

It's okay.

Hey...

It was hard,
but it's over.

You should have waited
till tomorrow, Jule.

You shouldn't
have gone out
in the rain like that.

And now you're gonna be
stuck in bed for a week.

And that would be bad?

No. Come to think of it.

No, I guess not.
