Ashley?

Ashley?

Did you have a good weekend?

How are things going at home?

Me and Stacy went shopping.

How are things going with your mom?

Bought jeans.

That sounds fun.

How's everything going in class?

Are you learning anything new?

Anything that you like?

Reading 'Catcher �n the Rye'.

That was a good book.

Do you like it?

What do you like about it?

Is there anything you wanted to talk about?

Ashley?

Nothing on your mind we can discuss?

What happened to your hand?

Is that a cigarette burn?

Did you do that to yourself?

Or...or did somebody do that to you?

Ashley, do you smoke?

Does your mother smoke?

Okay, guys

we're going to be talking about Holden's character breakdown today,

which everyone was supposed to do last night for their homework.

So, hopefully, you all did it.

Um, let's all turn to page 75, please.

75 , if everyone doesn't have a book,

just look on to the person next to you...

All right, guys.

Make sure you finish chapter 14 for tomorrow.

We're gonna talk about it,

so know it.

Thank you.

Have a great afternoon.

Don't forget your work tomorrow.

Hey, Ash?

Ash?

How's everything?

Good.

Um...see ya around?

See you later.

Who are you?

Sorry.

I see you all the time.

What's your name?

Ash...

What?

Ash...

Ashley.

I see you looking at me.

It's just kind of weird.

I got to go.

Ashley, get in here!

Going through my shit again, huh?

Have you?

You're 17 years old.

Just get your own shit!

You fucking listening to me?

That shrink of yours called from school.

What did you do now, you little bitch, huh?

Wants me to take you downtown to

some group-therapy thing at a hospital.

Do you hear me?

Does he think you're crazy?

Oh! Look at me!

I can't do this.

I can't take this shit!

He says you got some burn on your arm.

Did you do that?

Took my lighter, didn't you?

You know who gave me that?

You know who gave me that?!

Ashley?

Ashley?

I asked you if you were gonna participate?

You don't have anything to say?

No.

You know, if you're not gonna participate,

there's really no point in you coming.

Didn't choose to be here.

How do you expect to work on you problems if you're not gonna talk about them?

Lay of her.

I mean, that's all you do.

You just push us, push us.

I mean, maybe some of us ain't got shit to say.

I recall you having plenty to say, James.

That's funny.

Yeah, well maybe she doesn't.

It's not your turn to talk.

It's Ashley's turn.

Ashley, why don't you just tell us something about yourself.

It's okay...safe here.

Come on.

Anything.

She doesn't want to fucking talk!

Okay, can me please cut the swearing?

'We'?

I'm the only one fucking swearing!

Shit, balls.

Nu, if you're not gonna cooperate...

This is bullshit!

This is fucking bullshit!

Sit back down now.

Fuck you!

Okay, that's it.

Fuck you, you fucking bitch!

Get off me!

Don't fuck...oh!

You're out of here.

Oh, fuck!

Please stay here.

Do not leave here.

Don't worry.

It happens all the time.

Why don't you talk?

Come on.

What are you scared of?

I won't bite you...

Unless you want me to.

That's better.

That's a nice lighter.

What?

I said that's a nice lighter.

Dad gave it to me.

Your dad gave you a lighter?

Can I sit?

Yeah.

I'm Vicky.

Ashley.

Can I get a light, Ashley?

Nice.

Is it real?

I don't know.

Scratch it.

What?

You know, like they do it in the movies.

They scratch gold to see if it's real or whatever

with, like, a knife.

So cool.

Your dad give you this too?

I bought it.

Kick-ass.

I like it.

You, uh, go to school around here?

I'm home-schooled.

My parents are away right now.

Want to come over?

You want to?

Come on.

Come on!

Come on!

Do you have a computer?

We can talk online.

My screen name's

'sappho girl 13'.

Sappho...

Girl 13, yeah.

So...

You...

Did this to yourself?

Kind of.

Kind of?

I mean, no one did that to you, right?

How did...

Are you okay?

You want me to do it again?

Does it...

Doesn't it hurt?

Yeah.

I-I can't.

Why not?

I'm sorry.

You should go.

Please.

Go!

Yes, but I don't see why that's needed.

Well, that's what I'm asking.

So, she'll be coming here.

Fine.

Asshole!

Your school therapist.

So now, because of you and that

burnmark on your arm,

we're gonna be visited by a social worker.

Fan-fucking-tastic!

Do you understand what that means?

God! You...

You do nothing to help me!

Nothing!

Listen to me, you little bitch.

You don't start responding to me,

I'm gonne take your precious computer out of here.

And then you got nothing!

Please! Don't take it!

I'm sorry, mom.

That's more like it.

Have this room cleaned up by the time I get back.

And I don't want to hear from the fucking counselor again.

What are you doing?

I can't sleep.

Hey, drink.

All right.

Here, I'll help.

Crazy bitches.

I love it.

Of course you do, Randall.

Hey.

Now try it on your own from the bottle, girl,

and I'll give you another little kiss.

Oh, there you go!

Smooth, huh?

This is gonna be good.

Who is this girl, anyway?

Shut up!

Keep your eyes on the road.

You want me.

I know it.

I see how you look at me.

Ow! You're...you're hurting me!

Fuck!

You really are some kind of freak.

No, no, don't stop.

Why'd you stop?

Because Ashley here is a freak

who fucking pulled my hair.

Drive her back to the park!

I said, do it!

This is getting good!

Just do it!

Fine, fine.

Just chill out.

Ashley?

Ashley?!

Help me brush my hair?

Don't look at me like that. Just help me.

Gentle!

Careful.

That's nice.

That's good.

Your hair is messy.

I used to brush your hair all the time when you were little.

Here. See?

You can go now.

Hi.

Name's Chico.

You know, like the Marx brothers?

You know, like Groucho and Harpo

and Zeppo and Chico.

You know Gummo?

He's the fifth Marx brother.

He left before they hit big.

I see you on the bus a lot.

And I always thought you looked cool.

I wanted to talk to you.

...against Philadelphia. And Colorado, a victory...

...Will be a game 7.

We'll see whether or not that holds up here in this game 7.

Hello.

Say hello to Bill, Ashley.

Hi.

Hi.

Here comes Shanahan.

Your mom didn't tell me you had her good looks.

Say thank you, Ashley.

Thank you.

Say thank you, Ashley.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Gonna have dinner with us?

Listen. I hope we're gonna have dinner soon, 'cause I'm starving.

It's almost ready.

All right.

What a blast down the chut!

What do you think of him?

Please.

Can we just have a normal conversation for once in ou lives?

You saying anything would be great.

I don't like him.

Of course you don't.

Just don't screw this up for me again

with your charming personality.

Just fucking forget it.

Let's get dinner on the table.

I hope everyone's ready for a delicious meal

of veal and asparagus.

I like your dream come true, Stacy.

You're gonna make me blush, mister

Yeah, well, it's my job.

Ashley...

You know what veal is?

It's baby cow.

Yeah.

Young, tender, juicy.

I'm a little concerned about her appetite,

not eating a damn thing.

Ashley, eat.

I'm not hungry.

Eat your food.

You know, I really love what you did with the place.

It's really nice.

You think?

yeah, yeah.

I especially like this whole inverted-wine-glass thing.

Very clever.

Sure.

You've done a really nice job.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Hello?

Homestarch?

Yeah.

Hi.

You have a name?

Yeah.

Are you gonna tell me it?

Ashley.

Hello, Ashley.

So, you're Candice.

Yeah.

What's the matter, shy?

That's cute.

I'm usually the shy one.

You are?

Yeah.

So you sound like a nice girl.

What are you doing talking to strangers online

and giving them your number?

Oh, the horror.

I don't know.

I was just kidding, Ashley.

So, you talk to a lot of girls?

I do...

But not like this.

They don't have sweet voices.

God, that sounded cheeseball.

Crack a smile?

You did, didn't you?

Maybe.

Hey, you may be shy,

but you got a lot of guts,

letting a complete stranger call you.

I'm glad you let me.

Get's lonely sometimes.

You don't have a job?

Um, not really, no.

I inherited a ton of money when my parents passed away.

So, I really don't have to worry about anything.

Money-related, that is.

Cool.

Sorry about your parents.

Thanks, Ashley.

You know what?

You made my day.

You're different than the others.

What usually happens in these chat thingies is,

half the time they star talking dirty,

get off, and that's it.

The other half of the time, they're men,

as if they can fool me.

Are you still there?

Yeah, I can hear you breathing.

I'm not boring you, am I?

No.

So what do you do, Ashley?

I'm a student, high school.

What do you do for fun?

Do you have any hobbies?

I like to paint.

Nice! Really?

I actually consider myself an artist.

I paint too.

Kick-ass.

You're cute.

Would you mind if I called you again?

Or I can give you my number,

and you can call me.

Either way, I'd love to talk again.

Okay.

Really? Got a pen?

The number's on my phone.

Oh, yeah, right.

You have to go?

No. Guess not.

Cool.

Okay, let's begin with your background, Ms. Collins.

My background?

Yes.

I think that's irrelevant.

You don't want to tell me about it?

Okay, let's try something else.

What do you do for a living?

I'm a waitress.

Okay.

Pays the bills.

And are you currently in any relationships?

No, not really.

Not really?

I just started seeing someone, but it's early.

What does this have to do with anything?

And Ashley is 17, corredt ?

Yes.

And she's the only child?

Yes.

May I ask why you need to know all this?

I just would like to understand all aspects of Ashley's home life

so I can better assess the situation.

'Assess the situation'?

What does that mean?

If this environment isn't safe...

I provide for my child.

There's more to providing than paying the bills.

What if I told you to leave my house?

That wouldn't be the best course of action.

Get out.

Ms. Collins.

Now.

If my report says that this is an unsafe environment for Ashley,

the state will take her from you.

Do you want that to happen?

Okay. Talk about your background.

Why?

Why?!

I like girls.

What?

I don't like boys.

You li...

Why didn't you tell...

I'd like to try an exercise today.

Ashley?

Would you try this for me, please?

Okay.

I want you to picture yourself

lying on a beach.

The sun is perfectly warm,

and you hear the waves crashing

into the sand.

And I want you to take a deep breath in and hold it.

Now release it.

Good.

And I'd like you to do that two more times, slowly.

Now picture yourself walking into a building.

And a strong-armed security guard confronts you.

But he sees you,

and he knows you.

He smiles.

He places his arm around you,

and you feel safe, secure.

As you move on from there...

Ashley?

Is everything okay?

Ashley, what's wrong?

Ashley?

Is it something in the meditation?

Which part?

The man!

The man who put his arm around you?

You thought of your father,

passed away.

So sorry.

When he was alive,

did he give you this feeling of security?

Sometimes.

Only sometimes?

Why didn't he make you feel secure all the time?

Did he hurt you?

How?

He...

He...

Wait.

Ashley, look.

Your father betrayed your trust in him,

but you don't have to feel ashamed.

There are good people out there

who want to help you, okay?

Okay, guys.

So, what did we learn about this one?

Yes.

He was really annoying.

Okay.

I guess I can give you that one.

Guys, Holden reflected on how he felt everybody was phony.

But what did we learn about him at the end of the book?

Ashley?

Ashley?

What did we learn at the end of the book about Holden?

Ash?

I, uh, you know me, right?

No.

No?

Not really.

You know my name?

Steve?

Yeah, that's it.

I was wondering,

you want to kik it sometime?

I don't know.

You don't know?

No.

All right.

Catch you later.

Oh, shit.

Lose something?

I can't find my debit card.

Maybe you left it at the market.

I have to go back.

I'll go back for you.

I'll get it.

It's okay. I'll get it.

You sure?

Yeah, I'll handle it.

Okay.

See you later.

Hey.

What's new, pussycat?

Your mom went back to the store.

I think she left something there.

You mind if I watch TV?

Oh, thanks.

It's your mom's favorite show.

She's crazy about that shit.

By now you'd think she'd be a better cook.

So...

How's everything at school?

I'm kind of worried about you,

you know?

Not too much to say.

Drawing pictures, huh?

I'd say you like skin and bones.

What happened to your hand?

You know, that burn there.

Let me see that.

What is all that?

My goodness.

Are you doing that to yourself?

What happened there?

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Get away from her!

I wasn't doing anything.

Get out of my house!

Get out of my house now.

Stop being upset.

I wasn't doing nothing.

What were you doing on her?

I wasn't on her.

You were touching her!

It's my daughter!

Okay!

Get out!

Get the fuck out!

What were you doing?!

What were you thinking?!

Fuck! Answer me!

Answer me!

Go to your fucking room!

Hello?

Is this Ashley?

Hi.

How are you?

Well, I'm glad you called.

I'm lonely.

You are?

I've thought about you.

Really?

Not in a weird way.

It was fun when we talked.

Yeah.

What are you doing?

I think it's really cool that

you're an artist too.

I'm always attracted to artists,

for some reason.

Hey, Ashley,

can I ask you a question?

Yes.

Did you come online to meet someone to just...

...just Chat?

Chat.

Or have you ever...

I touch myself.

You do?

Do you want to now?

Yes.

Are you?

Yes.

Can I touch myself too?

Yes.

I want to touch you.

Me too.

Yes.

Can we do it together?

Ashley?

Did you...

Yes.

Yes.

Hey, Ashley.

What's up?

Mind if I sit down?

It's me, Carly.

Carly, Sammy and Summer.

Remember?

Really?

I like you shirt.

Oh, yeah. Nice.

How about ditching next class with us?

Meet you out back next period.

So, you like girls, huh?

Fucking freak.

Come on.

I'm sorry, you know?

I don't mean to do things.

You know, my brother likes guys.

You know, how you like girls?

He told my mom and dad on his birthday.

My mom and dad kicked him out.

He calls once in a while, and we're not allowed to answer.

No one talks about him anymore.

I really miss him, you know, gay or not.

Your mom and dad know you like girls?

No.

Well, don't tell them on your birthday.

Hey.

Staying after school today, I see.

I'm in detention.

What's your excuse?

Studying.

Cool.

I was wondering if we could, uh...

Shit.

Something wrong?

God damn.

I just need to validate that

Ashley is living in a safe environment

and doesn't require the state's intervention

to protect her.

She's the one with the problems, not me.

How long has Ashley been this withdrawn?

Since Michael passed away,

her father...

My husband.

And how was Ashley's relationship with her father?

It was very good.

He loved her.

He was a good man.

And that's all?

Ms. Collins?

He, uh...

Ms. Collins?

I think he was...

Sexually...

abusive...

You think that he was or...

I know he was.

Fucking bitch! You cut me!

Bitch!

Ashley?

I can't believe it.

Come..come in.

Sorry. Come in.

Got to close the door, yeah.

Thanks.

Actually, let me take that for you.

It's kind of heavy.

Did you want me to take your jacket?

Oh, sorry.

I'll just set it right here.

Are you thirsty?

Did you want something to drink?

Sorry about the mess too.

It's my roommate's actually,

my roommate.

Am I what you expected?

You're a lovely young lady, Ashley.

Yeah, sit down. Sorry.

Here, let me take that.

Are you sure you're not thirsty?

Yeah.

I mean, I have limonade,

diet root beer, water.

No? Okay.

Crack a smile?

That's...that's Cassidy.

She's an old friend of mine.

She was sick.

She passed away.

You have her smile.

You are so pretty.

Do you know that?

Do you like that?

You're soft.

I have an idea.

Why don't I take you out?

Okay?

You don't have to worry about money

or anything like that.

Sound good?

Okay.

Okay.

It's cool.

Oh, I wanted to show you something.

It's in my room.

But it'll just take a second.

Don't be shy. Sit.

So, do you mind if I give you something of mine to wear for dinner?

Okay.

Awesome.

Let's see what I got.

Here we go.

Here's a shirt.

It'll look great on you.

I should probably change too, I guess.

Beat you.

That looks great.

It looks good.

How about mine?

Okay?

Good.

Thanks.

And a jacket.

Got it?

Perfection.

You ready? Let's go.

I love this place.

I usually come here alone to think,

but I've never actually brought anyone here, though.

I like your smile.

Do you like my smile?

How about this one?

Are you gonna laugh?

Come on.

It's good for the soul.

See what I'm saying?

What's the matter?

You don't like sweets?

No worries.

It's so good, right?

I love this place.

What?

Do I have something on my face?

Oh, really?

Just get that off here real quick.

There. Is that better?

Is that better?

I didn't get it all, did I?

Yeah, you have just a little bit of stuff on your face.

May I?

You look divine.

You too.

Okay. So awesome.

Hey, there you are.

Oh Hey.

Gee.

Who's this?

A friend, Ashley.

Well, hello, Ashley.

I'm Clair.

She's cute.

Where'd you meet her?

My little secret.

Robing the cradle?

Shut up.

Ashley, it's wonderful to meet you.

Hey, Laura, come say hi to Ashley.

Oh, hello.

Lovely to meet you.

Hi.

Sorry about the photo shoot.

Yeah, what is going on over her?

Oh, my God.

Oh, that is so gross.

You're blocking my light.

I'm making a statement.

Which is?

I'm leaving it up to the observer to interpret.

There's too many meanings.

Interesting.

Interesting.

Can I get your friend anything to drink?

We just came from Salvador's.

You guys are screwing up my light.

Hey, why don't you take a break?

We have guests.

You want to stop for a minute?

Laura, Laura?

Yeah, okay.

Are you sure you don't want a drink?

You have a lovely face.

She has a lovely face.

I know.

May I take your photograph?

Would you mind?

Go for it.

Hold this, babe.

Can I get you to stand over here?

Stand right here.

That's beautiful.

No, here.

Oh. Oh, what did I do?

Is there something wrong with your arm?

He. It's okay.

We don't judge here.

Okay?

It's beautiful.

May I?

It's amazing.

Thank you.

You okay?

Don't worry, okay?

We don't judge.

Ashley?

I used to be a cutter too.

Good morning.

Morning.

Did you sleep good?

me too.

Oh, shit, you're probably gonna be late for your train.

Hey, hey.

Don't be sad.

Hey.

I don't want this to be a one-night thing, okay?

I like this.

But you should probably go home.

Okay?

Yeah.

So, what do you think?

Am I gonna see you again?

Yeah.

Hey, you should wear what I gave you.

It looks fantastic on you.

Here.

Take this too.

Okay.

Do you like it?

Yeah.

Perfection.

You're getting really good at this smiling stuff.

Hey?

What's the matter?

What's wrong?

It's okay, Ashley.

All right?

It's okay.

I just don't want to hurt myself again.

I know.

I know that.

I just really don't.

I know, sweetie.

You're gonna be okay.

Ashley, what...

You know what?

Where have you been?

What are you doing to me?

I was at a friend's.

A...a friend?

Who?

Candice.

Is she nice?

Yes.

She give you that outfit?

Yes.

You look really pretty...

Really pretty.

I just thought something happened.

I'm okay mom.

Ashley?

Ashley? Wake up.

We have to find Michael.

I told him not to leave us.

It's okay.

Mom...

Everything's okay.

Hello, Ashley.

Hello, Vincent.

Well, that was a first.

Okay.

How have things been going in class?

Good.

Yeah?

Finished 'The Catcher �n The Rye'.

Oh, yeah? What did you think?

That's how I felt...'eh'.

You know, like, what's the big deal?

I like your hair.

Did you...did you just say you like my hair?

Oh, my, I can...I can't breathe!

Geek.

Thank you, Ashley.

Thank you for the compliment.

Hey.

Hey, Chico.

How it's been going?

Things are good.

Yeah.

Well, sometimes things are good.

I saw a Marx brothers' movie once.

Really?

Yeah.

Which one?

Um...They were fighting a war.

'Duck soup'.

Yeah, that's one of my favorites.

Did you see the part where the bullet goes through the window?

I don't remember.

Oh, okay.

Well, that's okay.

Do you maybe want to be my friend?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Close friend?

Just friends.

Okay.

Okay, that's...that's cool.

That's really cool.
