I got my bike back.

That's good.

Good.

I was thinking,

if you wanted to meet me off campus,

you could.

I don't think so.

Come on, Ellis.

Why don't you spend

some of that allowance money

your parents send you

for being the perfect boy?

- If you change your mind...

- I won't.

Grapes of Wrath.

It's my favorite novel.

We gotta get you home.

I think Wendy wants to take you out

to dinner for your birthday

and maybe show you your birthday present,

if you're up for it.

I almost forgot it was my birthday.

You know, when I was little,

I used to love to hear Wendy

do a primal screaming.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

It meant she'd actually be happy

for the few days afterwards

and play with me.

Thank God Bennet's gone.

- Yeah, she actually kicked him out.

- No?

It was awesome.

You know what else?

She milked Frieda

the whole time I was gone.

Kept her lactating.

Yeah, exactly.

Forty acres.

There'll never be a 7-Eleven

or a Wal-Mart out here.

I forget how cool Wendy can be, you know.

I helped pick it out.

That house all the way over there is

owned by a surgeon from Canada, eh.

The rest is National Forest land.

It even smells good out here.

This is the coolest birthday present.

Hey.

Welcome home spliff?

No, thanks.

I got plenty. Enough for

the whole summer.

The greenhouse is going strong.

I was thinking of maybe going

to Telluride with Frank and Judy

and Gabriel for the summer.

Gabriel?

That's the baby's name, Gabriel?

Yeah.

I think you should go.

I think that would be good for you.

Yeah.

That'll be good for you.
