Original subtitles

Welcome home, Brandon.

One last load, everything'll be at the store.

Right, right. "The store"?

Yeah, Donna and I are opening a boutique.

Tomorrow. Oh, which reminds me, Matt called.

Matt? And he's sending

the articles of incorporation over for us to sign.

Great. I'll be over right after my meeting with Leah, okay?

Okay, bye-bye.

Who's Leah?

Oh, Leah. She...

Oh, it's a long story.

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Leah. How was New York?

New York was great.

We should, uh... we should talk about it.

Yeah, yeah, that's great. Um, how's later for you?

'Cause I was just running out. Later's fine. I can always

tell you later I was offered a job

in the Washington bureau of a major

metropolitan newspaper. You were?

Yep.

Wow.

That's so good.

They were talking about L.A.

and then they read my clips and we started talking and...

No, yeah, yeah.

Washington's perfect.

They want me to start right away.

That's great.

Want to help me to my car?

Kel, I'm, uh... I'm going to move.

I know. I think that's a good thing

for you.

Can you hold these?

Great. Thanks.

Ivy league member, four letters...

Yale.

Blocked it completely.

Rejection will do that.

(clears throat) Hi.

I'm Valerie Malone.

Hi. I'm friends with Donna and Kelly.

Donna and Kelly, yeah. Two great people.

And they make referrals, too-- a plus.

They don't know I'm here and I really

don't want them to know.

Then they won't.

I'm sorry-- please, have a seat.

Thanks.

Um...

I want to hire you.

Okay.

Why?

Because anything I say to you, I want it to be confidential.

Our conversation is officially privileged.

Unless you tell me you're going to kill someone.

And if I already did?

I killed my father

and I think my mother's going to turn me in.

Why don't you tell me what happened?

He was raping me,

over and over.

I finally resisted.

He took out a gun.

We struggled, he died. And?

And what else do you need to know?

A lot... if you're going to be acquitted.

It was justifiable homicide.

Well, so you say, but a court may say different.

Well, I don't see how.

Sure you do or you wouldn't be here.

So what do you say I should do?

Hope your mother will stay quiet

and protect you. If she doesn't?

If she doesn't,

hope for a sympathetic jury.

JANET: Uh, well, I don't know where

Sophie is but I, I bet

I know how you can reach her.

What's the matter, a little trouble in paradise?

Nah, I just haven't, uh, seen Sophie in a few days.

I'm worried. Ah, you should've thought of that

before you had sex in front of every freak

on the Internet.

I found these

scattered all over town.

Well, after last week's screen debut,

I'm sure a lot of people are

asking themselves the same thing.

You're being a real jerk right now, Steve.

Thanks.

The place looks great.

Done a lot of work.

Last load from the car.

Great, um, just put it anywhere.

Yeah. We had a lot of help.

Hey. Hey.

Need anything else?

No thanks.

You sure?

She said no.

Started the court-appointed classes yet?

The AA meetings...

Next week.

Look, I know it's hard. You have no idea.

If you need anything else,

I'm upstairs. Thanks.

Look, I'm glad somebody's helping you out.

I'm just sorry it's not me.

We're, uh, putting the sign up tomorrow morning, 10:00 a.m.

I'd really like it if you were here.

Done.

I've missed you.

Can we do something tonight?

I'd like that.

But it just seems that every time I reach out to you...

I know; I always run.

I won't.

It just hurts.

I'm not going to run.

Not tonight.

I promise.

KELLY: Leah, if he was abusing you, why did you go back to him?

I found out that I was pregnant.

You must've freaked.

I was done with Lenny.

Thanks to you, I'd moved on.

Then you felt like you had to go back.

For a while, everything was great.

Lenny was sweet and kind.

And Allison...

She's so perfect.

But about a month ago,

Lenny and I got into a fight about late-night feedings,

changing-- our typical stuff.

Except that he hit you.

And when I told him that I wanted

sole custody and the divorce...

Which I am sure you'll get.

He said that if I take his baby girl

away from him,

that he'll kill me.

You think we should still have the anniversary party?

Absolutely, we have a lot to celebrate.

No one thought we'd make it a year.

Yeah, and with you gone, they'll know we're not going to make it two.

Oh, come on, you'll do just fine without me.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Well, I'm honored.

It's not every day this joint is visited by a reporter

from the Washington bureau of the New York Chronicle.

Do you realize I'm going to be 3,000 miles away

from the nearest mega burger?

My arteries are going to thank me until the day I die.

Hopefully, not from a heart attack. Yeah, suffering in a fancy

hotel room, ordering room service.

The pain.

They're just putting me up for two weeks,

just till I find a place.

NAT: You better make sure he gives you

the same deal while you look.

(chuckling) Am I looking?

I called my parents and they want to sell the house.

Yeah, well, sure.

It's their house. I feel badly.

With you moving, it's only natural.

I'll call them again.

Well, I was thinking about

moving out anyway. You were?

Yeah, so there's not a problem or anything.

Hm. Does she know?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah-- she was, uh...

She was real busted up.

She tell you about the store?

And a guy named Matt.

Anything else I should know? No.

Other than you don't have

the market cornered on moving on.

You haven't returned my calls.

I have nothing to say.

Look, I talked to a lawyer.

He says I have nothing to worry about.

Then why do you look so nervous?

What are you going to do?

I'm going to think.

Just think?

You kill your father. He was abusing me.

You sleep with my husband. I know that was stupid.

You put me in a position that no mother should be put in,

that of deciding your fate.

You're damn right I'm going to think.

You're going to turn me in, aren't you?

I don't know. Of course you're going to turn me in.

I told you, I don't know.

You say that, but I know it's true.

Don't press me for an answer, Valerie.

You may not like what you hear.

Hey.

Hey. Come on in.

Well, what do you think?

I'm impressed.

Surprised, maybe a little confused.

But impressed.

Well, I figure if it fails...

It won't.

Nothing you work on ever does.

Almost nothing.

I'm sorry, I...

I was only gone a week.

Brandon, this isn't about you. I know.

You've made big choices-- without me.

Kind of feels weird.

I don't remember being consulted

about the Washington bureau

of the New York Chronicle offer.

Maybe I should go out and come back in.

We can start this over.

I understand you've been talking to my wife.

Leah and I are friends, yes.

Well, the last time you got friendly with her,

Leah moved out on me.

Please leave.

You stay away from her.

I think the lady asked you to leave.

You stay away.

What was that about? It's nothing.

Kel, a crazy guy just came in your store...

Brandon, I don't need your help, okay?

And...

I don't want to start over.

I didn't mean like that. I just meant that,

you know, maybe I should go out and come back and...

This is what you wanted, the changes.

All I'm saying is that it feels odd.

Well, it's what you wanted.

If it feels odd to you, keep it to yourself.

Hey.

Got your call.

I'm here. What do you want?

Same thing as everyone else.

Answer to the question, "Where's Sophie?"

Around.

I worry about you.

So don't worry.

I have a commercial audition tomorrow.

Really? Off the flyer?

Casting agent said it got her attention.

(laughs)

Well, you have a way of doing that to people.

Pretty slick, huh?

Friend of mine from home took the picture.

Yeah, Janet said she's seen them all over town.

Will you come with me to my audition?

Why? So you can say

you knew me when.

Oh, boy, you scare me.

Boo.

You know, I'm doing just fine without you.

Well, I'm not.

DONNA: You shouldn't be here.

Nothing is the same anymore.

You want me to be over my father, but I'm not.

I know.

You don't even try to make me understand what you're feeling.

It's like I'm walking on quicksand.

Every single step I take, I just sink a little deeper.

You know how that feels?

No, but I can imagine it's pretty awful.

The thing is, I mean, you can't possibly understand.

Please don't go.

I know I said I wanted you to, but I don't.

Look, I'll call you later.

No, you won't.

But it is a fact that Lenny hit Leah at least once?

I told you, I don't discuss pending cases.

Besides, I thought your article was about

custody battles in general.

Well, it is.

But after I talked with Kelly,

I thought the

Leah-Lenny case may be a good hook.

I didn't know you were friends with Kelly.

Didn't I mention that? No.

Hmm. Anyway, about the article...

And she didn't mention me?

Uh, no.

But if you have any other questions...

Nothing about a recent breakup?

Is it true that you're leaving?

Hi, Val.

Look, this is really not a good time for me.

I mean, I have so much going on and...

What are you guys talking about?

Nothing, uh, just an article

Brandon's writing.

Why don't we do this later, all right?

Sure. Okay.

Look, Val, uh, I was going

to come next door and talk to you about moving.

Why don't you sit down?

The Kelly mess and now you're moving?

You got your own life.

I can't bother you with mine.

Hi. Name.

Sophie Burns. Head shot.

Professional head shot.

Karen Smith, the casting director,

personally asked me to come. I see.

So you're doing her a favor.

I'm sure she'd appreciate you putting me

at the top of the list.

(snickering)

I'm up next. (snickering)

Poor things, like any of them have a chance.

No, what they've got is an agent

and a resume and an acting coach.

It's a commercial, David, for soap.

The point is, is that they're taking the classes,

they're making the rounds and they're doing the little things.

Sophie Burns.

Anyone can do the little things, David.

That's why they're little.

KELLY: Yes!

DONNA (gasps): Perfect!

Ooh, that looks good. Good job, Joe.

That's good. Very nice.

Well, we did it.

What-- I'm not sure of.

Why-- I'm completely in the dark about.

It's an adventure, Donna. People die on adventures.

They go up in small planes, crash in the sides of mountains,

get bitten by exotic insects

and get grotesque inflammations (gasps).

(laughs)

They also succeed beyond their wildest dreams.

Donna, I know this is a little scary for you,

but we can make this work.

I hope you're right. Look at this place.

Look what we've already done here.

And we've done it alone-- without Brandon,

without Noah,

just you and me.

Thanks for bringing that up.

Noah was supposed to be here, now he's not.

Repeat after me.

His loss.

Yeah, I wish I believed that.

I know you don't want to hear this.

But if he keeps pushing you away,

sooner or later you're going to have to let him go.

I love him.

And I know that he loves you, too.

But take it from me,

sometimes that's not enough.

Hey. Listen, I ordered a couple of kegs for tomorrow.

We've been running out for the last couple of nights. Oh, God.

I'm supposed to meet Donna-- something about a sign.

Well, I'm sure she'll understand.

I mean, that's what she does.

My mom calls just now and asks if I wouldn't mind

lying about how my father died.

As if the whole

world doesn't already know.

Well, she's ashamed. No, no, no.

It's always about presentation with her, you know?

My mom...

Carl drops her like a stone

and she tells everybody she did the deed.

It's the same thing.

She's just embarrassed.

Why did Carl bolt?

Can't say.

So you can or you won't?

Both.

Thing of it is,

Donna can't possibly understand.

She can't. Well, she's

a lucky girl.

It's the worst, isn't it?

Come on.

Where are we going?

It's a place I want you to see.

Where's your keys?

Now give me a big smile.

Bigger.

"Not wholesome," they said.

"Not fresh."

Would you forget about it and concentrate?

I can be "wholesome."

I can sure as hell be "fresh."

I'm taking head shots here, not mug shots.

Will you give me a sec?

I once did a jingle for hemorrhoid cream.

(chuckles)

And this relates to me how?

It could be worse.

You could've gotten the job.

Now, I say

when you're done here, we go celebrate

your narrow escape from mediocrity.

What did you have in mind?

Well... (whispering)

Oh... (laughs)

Okay.

Really?

Soon as we get home.

With the pictures.

I think you're blackmailing me.

Oh, I like

to think of it as offering an incentive.

(switch clicks)

(mellow jazz plays)

Sorry. Have to reload.

Have some great stuff here.

By the way,

there's this great party tomorrow.

Lot of Hollywood big shots are going to be there.

You guys should come.

Okay. Ready?

You have no idea.

And tomorrow, David and I would love to go to the party.

This is where my father said I'd never amount to anything.

And in here is where my father said,

well, I'd never amount to anything.

And in here...

I think you get the picture.

Can you feel the love or what?

No, just the money.

But ain't that the same thing?

Depends on your perspective.

Right.

From here, it all looked great.

50 rooms and every room has a bad memory.

If it's so awful, then why'd you come here?

'Cause I'm looking for something. What?

A way to erase all the memories.

Okay. Then to forgetting the past.

No, that's too wimpy.

To suicide.

The most hostile thing a human being can do.

After murder.

I wouldn't know anything about that.

Then take my word for it.

You could, couldn't you?

What makes you think I haven't?

(laughs)

You almost got me.

That's good.

"What makes you think I haven't?"

(snickers)

You're a piece of work, Val, you know that?

You really are.

Hey. Hey.

I'm already late, Brandon.

Yeah, yeah, the store opening, I know.

Thanks for coming. You're welcome.

You said you wanted to talk.

But if this is about us, I really don't...

No, no, no, no, no-- come on, sit down.

It's about a story. Sit down.

A story?

Yeah, I, uh...

I met Matt today.

Seems like a nice enough guy.

It's too bad I'm going to have to trash him.

What are you talking about?

I'm doing a story on outrageous custody battles

like Lenny and Leah's.

(laughs)

The fact that that animal thinks he deserves custody...

Brandon, why are you doing this?

It's a good story.

There are others.

Did I mention how good you look today?

Brandon, I don't need your help.

I know.

Okay, just stop.

Just stop with the helping.

Stop with the compliments; just stop.

I'm going to do this story, Kel.

Do you want to help? No.

I don't.

You know, this isn't easy for me.

I know.

But that doesn't give you the right to make it hard on me.

STEVE: Oh, yeah. That's really great.

The amazing thing is how quickly you got it all together.

Oh, at this rate, you'll be franchised in a year, Donna.

Or unemployed. (whimpers) Come on.

Any sales yet or do we get the honor

of being the first one?

Whoo-hoo! Step right up, yeah.

(laughing)

Well, I'm glad David found you.

He was worried about you.

You weren't?

You can handle yourself.

You sound like that's a bad thing.

No, it's just cold.

KELLY: Oh, thank you.

All right, come back.

I talked to Lenny today.

Told him never to come in here.

Good. Now, fire him as your client

and you'll be onto something.

I'm trying to say I'm sorry here.

Yeah, I know.

Excuse me.

Okay, everybody.

If you'll all gather around.

Donna?

We wanted to thank you all

for coming tonight.

And encourage you to go ahead, spend your money.

Or spread the word.

Or, preferably, both.

(applause)

(indistinct chatter, instrumental music playing)

How are you doing?

So I'm the new guy, right?

Fresh off the bus from Hicksville.

And it's the first day of school.

And I keep telling myself,

"Be cool. Just be cool."

So what happens?

I enter the main hall...

right before class,

so everybody's there.

And I trip.

(laughs) Total swan dive.

Books go flying.

I cut my chin.

People are standing up, holding up pieces of paper--

6.9's across the board, thank you very much.

I remember.

And just when I'm about to put my tail between my legs,

run back home to beg Jim and Cindy

to put me on the next bus back to Minneapolis,

Donna comes over to me.

Introduces herself.

And thanks me for putting everyone at ease.

And then, for the rest of the day,

she takes me around and introduces me

to everyone as Greg Louganis. Greg Louganis.

Oh, man, Brandon, I remember that.

Boy, did she ever save your butt, though.

Actually, it was a save by committee.

Dylan, Kelly,

and surprisingly, even you.

Made me feel right at home.

I have some leads

on a place to live.

Apartments mainly.

Not in Beverly Hills, but still good.

Think you'll ever leave?

Maybe.

But I doubt it.

It's pretty good they have their own shop.

They got theirs and we got ours.

We had.

We still do.

I'm staying.

You're turning down

the Washington bureau of the New York Chronicle?

Like that isn't exactly what you want me to do.

Bran, sure I do, but...

Why would you?

This is home.

Want to tell the troops?

No, you do it.

I want to stay out here for a while.

Hey, uh, Brandon told me he's going to stick around.

(indistinct chatter, piano plays mellow jazz)

That girl, she was handpicked by Scorsese.

And that guy?

Gus Van Sant's next film.

Hey, you want to meet a director friend of mine?

Guy loves discovering new talent.

Oh, let me think, Eric.

Poor and unknown, rich and famous...

I think we could say hello.

Come on.

Ah, I haven't seen Barney's latest.

You must play the stallion.

Excuse me?

Well, rumor has it you did 14 love scenes

in one day.

Bravo.

Exactly what kind of movies does Barney do?

Oh, you mean you weren't in it.

Let me guess.

Barney does porno flicks.

Barney's not a big believer in the written word.

I didn't think so.

He's exaggerating.

No, I'm telling you.

She's a softer Courtney Love.

A more accessible Madonna.

If you're half what he describes,

I think you'd be just what we're looking for.

No kidding?

I mean, you're serious?

I'm so sorry. We've got to go.

No, we don't. Yes, we do.

David, I wasn't finished.

You see the lady over there?

She played the naked dead girl in a Scorsese flick.

And that guy right there

is Brad Pitt's body double for sex scenes.

And your director pal, let me tell you--

his list of credits include

Playpen's Hot Tub Nights,

volumes one through four.

Everybody has to start somewhere?

You're not starting here.

I don't see what that's got to do with custody.

I don't either, but Lenny's arguing it does.

Lenny and his lawyer.

Did you have an affair?

Once. A couple years ago.

My husband was beating me. And what about

the substance abuse? Never.

That's a complete lie.

Brandon, Leah is the victim here.

I know and I'm going to show that.

Thanks for coming in.

Thanks for doing this.

You got it.

Leah, I'll... I'll meet you outside.

I really appreciate this, too.

You weren't so sure yesterday.

That's because it still hurts, Brandon.

I'm staying, you know.

I know, but I don't know why.

Why is it so hard for everyone to believe

that what I want is right here?

Because it's not and we both know that.

You want everything to move forward,

I want everything to stop.

Brandon, take the job.

If you don't, you're going to regret it.

Look, Leah's waiting and I got a lot of work to do.

What are you so scared of?

I really have a lot of work to do.

Eh, it's nice.

This one's my favorite.

I look too wholesome.

Fine, send the casting director sultry.

I like wholesome.

Director left a message at my service.

I'm sure he did.

I'm thinking of calling him back.

You can do better.

So you keep telling me. Well, it's the truth.

Look, I think you're right and I appreciate your support,

but I need to work.

I know. And you will.

No, I need to work now.

My check that I wrote for these head shots,

it's going to bounce.

My school loan, as soon as I fail the midterms

for the classes I haven't been going to in weeks,

that's history, too.

As soon as they find out I'm not a student anymore,

the government will come collecting.

You can do better than a porno flick.

If you just wait, you'll get your chance.

I was supposed to already have had it by now.

You've only been here four weeks.

Most people... I'm not most people.

Okay?

I'm not going home a failure.

I'm just not. How well you do out here

has nothing to do with whether

you're a failure or not. Whatever.

I hate this picture.

(knocking on door)

Hello? Let's go.

But, Brandon... No "buts," let's go.

Come on.

What are we doing?

What I'm afraid of.

Night swimming. I've lived here nine years.

I've never done it. Have you? No.

Brandon, you're crazy. Completely.

My God...

(screams)

(whoops)

Brandon, wait for me!

(keypad beeping)

Hey.

Good day?

A few sales.

Walk you to your car?

I'm fine. Are you?

Look, Matt, I was in an abusive relationship.

And I understand that you're

not endorsing what Lenny did... Donna, look...

My parents, they got divorced when I was three, okay?

My mother was awarded full custody.

And after that, she moved away.

I never got a chance to see my father, ever.

That's why I took on this case.

It's not about

protecting Lenny, who at best,

deserves supervised visitation.

It's about preventing his daughter from losing her father.

Thanks for explaining that.

What is it? Tell me.

Nothing.

It's just your openness, it's nice.

Any word from Noah?

No, not since yesterday.

Well, if you need someone to talk with

about what you're going through.

Maybe some other time.

Just not right now.

The, uh, offer to walk you to your car

still stands, you know.

Thanks, I appreciate that.

Some other time?

Sure.

Good night. Night.

I swear I saw a shark swim right by you.

He almost got you.

Like his dorsal fin was

just kind of brushing up against you.

That's the creepy thing about being out there at night.

You can't see anything.

That's what scares me.

The unknown.

Well, for me, it's the tide.

Just the idea that you can get sucked out there

and not be able to get back...

And while you're out there,

your footprints and every sign that you were ever here...

get washed away.

That's not going to happen.

I find it very overrated,

all this growing up,

taking responsibility, becoming an adult.

I hate to break it to you,

but we are adults.

We're going to have to grow up sometime.

I'm sorry.

For what?

For not letting you move on.

For not being good enough of a friend to do that.

You up for another dip?

No, I don't think so.

Do you mind if I do?

Say hi to Jaws for me.

Hey.

I'm really proud of you.

Are you sure you don't want to come?

You're on your own.

Yeah.

SOPHIE: Just a little bit further. We're almost there.

DAVID: Almost where?

I told you, it's a surprise.

Okay, pull over.

Here. Here?

Mm-hmm.

Isn't it great?

I thought you didn't have any money.

I don't.

But the guy who sold me the space doesn't know that yet.

Sophie! What?

I took your advice. I'm not settling.

If the flyer got me a commercial audition,

think what this'll get me.

It's just not conventional, that's all.

Yeah, well...

I'm not a conventional girl.

No question about that.

You're cute, the way you worry about me.

But you don't have to.

I'm going to make it.

I'm sure you will.

Look at me, David.

No, look at me.

All I'm saying is maybe

we shouldn't make such a big deal out of it.

You're the one who wanted to celebrate.

Do you know what people get

for their first anniversary?

What? Paper.

Paper. Let's just get this over with.

(indistinct chatter)

Whoa.

Here's your hat. What's your hurry? Yep.

(chuckles) We're going to miss you.

Oh, no, you're not, 'cause I'm not going anywhere.

Yes, you are.

No, I'm not. You see, you said...

I said a lot of stupid things

because I need you in my life.

You're my guardian angel.

And you will be wherever you are.

Got to live your life, man.

It's going to kill us to let you go.

What you saw looking through the window last night,

it'll always be there for you.

Even as an adult.

So what you're all saying is:

"Get the hell out of here," right?

Pretty much.

Well, I guess I better go see if I still have a job.

Come on, give me a hand, get the punch.

Yes, sir.

Look, I should've called.

I know you're going through

a really terrible thing right now; I do.

But I need you to give something back--

anything, something--

and I need you to do it now.

And if I can't?

You have to.

Say good-bye for me.

I'm going to get out of here.

Saw Brandon's article today.

Thought it was very fair.

Too fair.

Kelly, Lenny is the father.

You know he has a right to protect...

I'm not interested in Lenny's rights.

I'm interested in his child's rights,

and I'm telling you now, you better protect that baby.

Oh.

Hey.

Grabbing some beer.

Yeah, well, Nat told me to do the same.

I'll let you take care of it.

Steve.

Yes?

I should have told you about me and Sophie.

So, what is this, payback?

I used to worship you.

Hey, David, do you like Sophie?

Not enough to blow our friendship.

Me, either.

Bubby?

(chuckles)

You're all right, man.

Sorry, man.

I'm sorry, too.

Let's get these beers next door.

Hey.

Hi.

Should I sit down?

Mm-hmm.

I'm not going to do it.

(sighs)

Thank you.

I don't forgive you.

And if I were a stronger person, I'd turn you in.

But it was hard enough to deal with the shame

of your father's suicide.

To have everyone know what went on between the two of you...

Mother, he raped me.

That would be too much.

So, this is about you?

Did you hear me?

I'm keeping the secret.

Of course you are.

I mean, that's what we do.

That-That's how we cope.

We're that miserable.

You sound like you want me to go to the police.

No, Mother.

What I want is to stop feeling dirty and afraid.

I want closure.

And you're not giving it to me.

BRANDON: Yeah.

What's up?

I, um, called the Chronicle, groveled...

And?

I'm a good groveler.

You're good at everything.

Except saying good-bye.

I have no regrets.

Neither do I.

(keypad beeping)

(line rings)

NOAH: Hi. This is Noah. I'm not home.

Speak.

(voicemail beeps)

(phone beeps off)

You okay? Not really.

That offer to talk, you know, it still stands.

I'm glad.

Come on. Let's go grab a drink.

Okay.

All right. I talked to my parents.

Bran, you didn't have to go talk to your parents.

House is yours for as long as you want it.

But I'm glad you did.

That was really nice of you.

All right, I left a message with Noah,

let him know he's got a place to stay, if he needs it.

Everything else we can deal with by phone.

And that leaves pretty much nothing.

You got to score me some stuff from the White House.

Pens, papers...

You know, a paperweight from his desk would be nice.

Check's in the mail.

This is really tough.

Yeah.

I can't believe you're really going, Brandon.

I'll take that as high praise.

DAVID: Goodbye, Brandon.

Nine years. That's a long time for a group

to hang out.

High school, college.

The real world.

Death, drugs, depression,

raging hormones, puberty...

Some people have moved away.

And others have joined.

It hasn't really mattered, though.

The reason being, we know we can depend on each other.

We know we always will.
