without them?

- Andrea, I'll be right back.

I'm sorry.

- So why don't you need

your numbers anymore?

- Why do you care?

- I care because

you're the reason I love math.

You taught me

numbers were everything.

And I noticed your numbers,

and I used to keep

a vertical bar graph

measuring them

against your moods.

- You made a graph?

Would you like to sit?

I left the store open,

I sold my car,

all because of 42.

Who gives a damn

about anything else

when you're wearing a 42?

- I saw you that day.

- A marvelous day,

the tops I've ever been.

- How did you get to be 42?

- And I realized if I don't have

to be a number,

I can be anything.

I don't understand

why you're suddenly interested.

You were the meanest

little girl I ever knew.

You egged my car

every Halloween.

- [Chuckles]

You knew that was me?

- Of course.

What I don't know

was why you would do that.

- Because you ignored me.

And you ignored my father.

- What?

- You never asked

about him once.

- Yes, I did.

- No, you didn't.

- One day, you were...

you were playing in the yard,

and I asked you

what happened to your dad.

He seems faded.

- Uh-uh.

- I did! I most certainly did.

You were standing right there

wearing your green rubber boots,

throwing rocks at that tree.

I asked about your dad,

and you said to me,

"Shut up, Mr. Jones."

I should have asked you again.

I'm sorry.

Maybe that day,

you just weren't yourself.

- I don't think

I've ever been myself.

- So what is wrong

with your dad?

- He thinks he's about to die.

- Do you think

he's about to die?

- Do you miss running?

Do you want to know

how I hurt my leg?

You never asked.

- I'm sorry.

I've been thinking about

cutting another shape of health

into the backyard

but this time

with a larger radius,

because the last one

was too small,

but I'm thinking about trying

one with a bigger range.

What do you think?

- I don't think I can

keep you company anymore.

- My beautiful child.

It's perfectly fine with me

if you just want

to wait in the car.

- He didn't get it.

But I finally did.

[Knocking]

- Got this in the mail.

I thought it was

a little wordy.

- I didn't know

what else to say.

- Lisa insisted that I

come see you.

- How is she?

- Quieter than she used to be.

- I'm sorry.

You were right.

I was lying.

Just so you know,

next time,

if there's ever

gonna be a next time,

when I say I'm going

to the bathroom,

don't let me.

- I'm not gonna be your

bathroom monitor, Miss Gray.

Mona?

I forgot to tell you something.

I lied.

I will be

your bathroom monitor.

- I don't need

a bathroom monitor.

- You don't?

I didn't mean

to just barge in like that.

- It's okay.

Thanks for coming back.

[Light tapping]

- Miss Gray?

Alisha Beeze, Levan's mom.

I'm an attorney, and I think

you have an excellent case

against Ann DiGanno's family

as well as the school district.

You could be looking

at a large settlement.

- There's really

only one thing I want.

- And this one states that

in exchange for your job back,

you agree to drop the lawsuit,

attend night school

to get your teaching degree,

and promise to never bring

hardware supplies

into the classroom again.

- Pen?

- Great show for you today.

- This whole thing

is so unfair.

I can't even go on a date

when she's around.

I'm not heartless.

I'm not.

I'm just not ready.

I know that it's awful.

But I don't want her.

- I do.

My dad's fairy tale

had it backwards.

Love doesn't mean

you have to sacrifice

parts of yourself.

The whole is greater

than the sum of its parts.

What do you see?

- Look.

- Oh, yeah.

Do I have any volunteers?

Okay, my little eye spies...

Isabelle and David

and Kevin.

There were 122 frogs

in one pond

and 57 in another.

How many frogs were there total?

- That's not a good math story.

- Nice!

- Do you know any better ones?

- Let me think.

I got one.

- Put a 3 in it

and a pirate.

- What a surprise

Oh, it's a sunny day

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohh

Give me, give me,

give me, give me

What I want

I want sunshine

Sunshi-i-ine

Give me, give me, give me

'cause it's been so long

I want sunshine

Sunshi-i-i-ine

l-i-ine

I'm feeling so free

Like a summer breeze

Oh, it must be magic

I forget all my plans

Throw my toes

in the sand

I just can't help it

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohh

Give me, give me, give me,

give me what I want

I want sunshine

Sunshi-i-ine

Give me, give me, give me

'cause it's been so long

I want sunshine

Sunshi-i-i-ine

We're two of a kind

Like bluebirds

singing out a simple tune

If you don't mind

It's the perfect

kind of day

To fall in love

With you, ohh

- Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

- Perfect kind of day,

oh, oh

- Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

- To fall in love

Oh, oh, oh

Give me, give me, give me,

give me what I want

I want sunshine

Sunshi-i-ine

Give me, give me, give me

'cause it's been so long

I want sunshine

Sunshi-i-i-ine

- Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

- Sunshi-i-i-ine

- Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

- Sunshi-i-i-ine

- Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

- Sunshi-i-i-ine

- Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

- Sunshi-i-i-ine
