And they put me in charge.

What are you doing? Getting my package. What does it look like I'm doing? We

don't open the door for strangers.

I'm just going to wait until you're not looking. Then I'm going to take it

anyway. This thing is heavy. Help me get it inside. What is going on here? She

doesn't listen.

I'm sorry I broke the rules, but the package is from my mom. Under no

circumstances do you ever open that door when we're not here.

What is going on?

What his mom sent him. He's a natural.

Dad!

Is he ever going to

I mean, at least you got to leave and go show a house.

I had to stay for the show in this house.

I can't take it. I can't take this anymore. Well, we can't take them from

He was so happy when he realized that they were from his mom.

I know, okay? I saw that.

She hasn't said to him anything.

Until now.

Not even a phone call.

I guess we're just going to have to try and deal with it.

Let's just sit and meditate.

You want to meditate?

Yeah, and block out the noise, like we did when we bought Charlie those drums.

Come on, sit.

This ain't working, baby.

Keep trying.

Wow.

You see?

It stopped.

That is amazing.

We should meditate more often.

Wait a minute.

What if you're just taking a break?

Just taking a break. Y 'all heard my drumming?

Poughkeepsie can hear you drumming.

Who's Poughkeepsie?

Wait, is it that girl that you... Hey, man, what are you... What are you

about? Boys, what are you doing in here?

Oh, y 'all got any baby oil?

Because I want to shine my new drum kit.

Baby oil?

Come on, y 'all. We gotta get the kiddos. Boom.

It was something Dylan said.

Go to your room.

I'm gonna remember this.

Uh, you too, honey.

Wow. Must be nice for Dylan.

Having a drum set.

Being able to play it.

To thrash. Out, out, out, son.

Thrash.

Meditate.

What?

She said, meditate.

Why does Rebecca keep hearing this?

Why do you just keep hearing Rebecca?

It ain't working, baby.

I know.

We're doomed.

We're going to die.

We're going to die.

A 1 ,000 drum slaps by young Dylan.

mess, right?

What do you mean?

You can't play.

You're just a hater.

No, I'm a realist. Tell him, Charlie.

Look, I love the drums.

You love anything he does.

No, that's not true.

He farts a lot.

And I don't love that.

You two are disgusting.

Well,

Hey,

she's not coming.

Yes, she is.

No, she's not, so you can stop playing.

She is coming, and I'll be ready when she comes.

What is wrong with you?

No, what is wrong with you?

We'll stop playing.

you had a kid.

I used to, but I had to give him away to a little drummer boy.

Did your mom and dad tell you that?

Yeah. And you believed them?

Yeah, he needed them for Christmas.

Well, too bad.

Here, you can play with mine.

Thanks, man.

I can't believe she sent him drums.

Well, if you can't believe it, just listen.

Why would she do that?

I think I have an idea why.

Look at that note.

Dear Miles, Mom told me that you have taken my son in. Yes.

Well, here's a little something to say thank you.

That is so not right.

Yeah, no, it's not.

And she doesn't mean that.

Obviously.

No. No, the note goes on to say I really don't mean that.

I've got a headache. Oh, gosh.

You and me both.

Okay, okay. My tooth is starting to hurt.

We've got to do something.

You're right. But what?

You have a suggestion.

No, you...

Hey, babe.

Really?

Really what?

You don't hear that?

No.

You hear anything?

I don't hear anything, honey.

Nope.

I don't hear a thing.

Wait, wait a minute.

Nope, nope, don't hear a thing. Yeah.

Okay, okay, okay, we're sorry, we're sorry.

How am I supposed to look like this?

We'll figure it out.

Well, I know how to figure it out.

Okay, well, what do you suggest?

I need to rest my arm.

What?

You see?

It stopped.

Only for a minute until his hands get rested.

Really? I mean, was it that bad, honey?

Are you not hearing the same thing that I'm hearing?

Okay. All right. Seriously, though, I need you to be a little more sensitive.

To what?

My e -drums were sensitive before you got those drums.

Y 'all want me to go deaf by the...

Okay, honey, we will do something. We'll do something. When?

Your mom and I were just discussing that now.

Yeah. I mean, in all common sense, who buys a kid some drums?

It was her idea, but, you know, we bought your brother some drums.

Yeah, well, those were toys. I know, and we got rid of them.

Wait. Oh, boy.

Oh, honey.

I still can't believe you fell for it.

Get out of here.

All right. Now you see what I'm saying.

Yeah. Woo -hoo.

Like when you take charge, honey.

Focus. Focus.

Focus. Focus.

Okay.

So what are we going to do?

Okay.

We're going to get rid of them.

Yeah.

The kids are the drums.

We have to be really smart about this.

No, we don't.

Just go in there and take a... Okay, calm down, Rambo.

How would you like it if we took an instrument from you?

You did.

When I was trying to play the clarinet.

We took Rebecca's clarinet, Charlie's drums, and now this?

Baby, do we hate music?

No, no, no. No, that's not what it was. Okay, look, Rebecca, we just thought you

were so much better at cheerleading.

You're absolutely right.

Now can we get rid of those drums?

We're going to talk to them.

Can it be today?

Before the neighbors call the police?

What is this? What are you doing?

are going to call the police.

Okay. Don't call the cops on your cousin.

Look, I know his mom sent in any all -fundamental thing that she's coming and

all, but I told him to knock it off.

Okay, what did he say?

He said he was practicing for when his mom comes, but I told him she wasn't

coming. Hey, whoa, why would you say that?

What? She's not coming.

I heard Grandma say that.

Okay, well, you shouldn't say things like that.

Kids shouldn't tell the truth now?

Oh, honey, it's not very nice.

And he misses his mom.

You think so?

I know so.

Rebecca, wouldn't you miss us if we left?

Do I have to answer that right now?

Really?

Rebecca!

I'd miss you.

Okay.

So go show him some sympathy.

This is really hard on him.

He doesn't act like it.

What do you mean?

He's out there banging the drums, joking, rapping all the time.

Oh, honey.

Sometimes people don't know how to show that they're unhappy.

Yeah. Oh.

Like when you and Dad are having an argument.

sit over here like... And Dad sits over here like...

Get your daughter. Get your daughter.

That's your daughter.

Look, Rebecca.

I get it. I will try and be more understanding.

Thank you.

That's all we ask.

But you do know you're asking a lot with these.

Jumps, right?

If it makes you feel any better, we're all in this together.

Well, just give him like another hour.

Okay. Thank you for being so understanding.

Yeah, sure.

We

need

to talk.

Give me my stick back.

Not until we talk.

You don't need to talk to me. You already said smirkful things.

I'm sorry.

For what?

For what I said.

You don't even know what you said.

I said that your mom wasn't coming.

And?

And that you have no talent.

Give me my sticks.

Look, I'm sorry, okay?

You do have talent.

You don't think I do?

Yes, I do.

You just want me to stop playing.

Look, I think you're very talented as a rapper.

Well, I know that.

But not as a drummer.

At least, not right now.

I can get it.

I know.

But I haven't been able to sleep for the past two days.

And tell me how's that, my Bible?

Well, I guess it's not.

Then what is it?

Look, you're already so great at rapping. Little rap genius.

If you focus on that for now, you're bound to shine.

And I'm bound to sleep.

But my mom bought this for me.

Look, I know you miss her, and she will come. And when she comes, I think you

should impress her with your rap game.

Not your drum game.

Who ever heard of the drum game?

I've been looking it up.

They're mad dope drummers. Ever heard of Skogs Belchman?

No. And I wish you hadn't.

I could even be the first rap drummer.

You ever heard of that?

I haven't.

Yes, you could.

But maybe try it on the road.

When I'm 35.

And moved out.

And married to Zuri.

Did I say that out loud?

Yep.

But...

My skills aren't there yet.

And I appreciate you coming to me. I just need folks to give them honest

feedback. Otherwise, you'll turn into Scogs Belchman.

That dude went into sculpting.

It was a mess.

Oh, my gosh.

Yep.

Well, Dylan, I believe in you.

You're pretty cool. Thank you. I try.

No, thank you, cuz.

But I love an advice, trying to get my life right. I be stacking paper in the

night. I'm a lover, not a fighter, not a drummer yet, but I'm a writer. And he

got you amazed, son.

He don't need no pen, because he's sick with the freestyles.

See? Little rap genius.

What is this?

My bad. It's baby oil.

Yeah. I don't really know what I was thinking. I'm sorry.

You were trying not to listen.

I fixed it.

What do you mean you fixed it?

Do you hear anything?

What did you do to your cousin?

Nothing.

What did you say to him?

I said that he's so good at rapping, he should focus on that for now.

Oh.

That's good.

Yes, I know.

And that's what he's doing?

Yep. He's out of the drumming game.

For now.

Wow.

Why do we think of that?

Oh, because you're too old.

Watch it, little girl.

Well, now that it's quiet, I'm going to go finish my homework.

Good for you.

Yeah. I'm so proud of you, honey.

For now.

Thank you?

didn't laugh long.

And we gave Rebecca so much praise.

Dylan.

Yo, I just wanted to return these baby yo -yos.

Yeah, it was a bad idea, man.

But if you're here.
