and all the people went into

their homes to go to sleep."

See the stars and the moon?

GIRL:

Yeah.

BOY:

Is that a crescent moon?

It is a crescent moon, yes.

Looks like a fingernail.

It does. It does look like

a fingernail.

"When they came to the bottom

of the mountain,

they saw the trees

and the pine cones."

I see a fly!

"The rocks and stumps

of the woods,

"the emptiness where birds

had laid their blue eggs.

"Gregory sat back down

on his chair.

"Jeremy looked at

the people passing by.

He wondered if

he was watching them."

I think the dark one's

a dinosaur.

"Of if they were watching him."

"'I think that, today, I am

watching them, ' he thought."

I think that that's all

Mrs. Julie Johnson

wanted you guys to do

for language arts.

You guys feel like

making some music?

- Yeah!

- Yeah!

Ooh!

Sarah, what's up?

Can we do one of your songs?

Hmm.

BOY:

No.

Let me think about that one.

Okay.

So, if we're going to

do this song,

we're going to have to

make some drums, aren't we?

How about we do this?

(Slapping)

(Snapping)

That's great.

And then I'm going to get to

one part of the song

where I'm going look at you.

I'm going to go like this

with my head.

And that's when you guys stop.

Then you start going...

La, la

La, la

La, la, la

La, la, la, la

La, la, la

That sounds great.

Oh, God.

All right, you guys,

just wait one second.

I'm going to

talk to these ladies.

And you just be quiet, okay?

You guys are going to

get me fired.

We checked in at the office.

See?

Yeah, visitor's passes.

Me too.

He's not here.

He checked in at a motel.

We'll be really quiet.

All right. I'm teaching them

one of my songs.

Good. Which one?

"Black Bay".

Love that one.

Think it's all right for them?

Mmm.

Guys, these are my sisters:

Merrily, Joy and Spring.

They're going to join our little

band, if that's okay.

Paige?

Umm, do they sing?

Spring can. You want to?

Mm-hmm.

Okay, so we need to teach them

the drums, don't we?

The drums we were working on?

Hmm?

Nice and slow.

(Snapping)

(Slapping)

Slow.

(Snapping)

Mmm, mmm

Mmm, mmm

Black bay

Where'd you go?

I have lost all the light

From your boats

It only makes me feel more

Alone

Grey fog, don't you tire

Of the dark isolation

of night

Know that the pressure

Gives the light

And know that the truth

comes with

The quiet

Just so afraid of mine

So, I blame the ones

that I love

When I am no one

To act as a judge

And I know

The bottle's not bent

But I'm just so stumped

For some kind of rest

Please

Look

And my tide's up

Ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Ooh

Yeast.

Not too much.

Mom liked a lot.

Garlic salt.

Okay, that's good.

Okay, you get to try it first.

Mmm. More.

Not till we start the movie.

What movie?

I'll get it.

You're going to love this.

Okay.

(Doorbell ringing)

Come in. It's open.

Oh,

girls,

lots of 'em.

Cool hair.

Thank you.

Clarke, these are my sisters.

I'm Merrily.

I'm... I'm Clarke.

I'm Clarke.

Hey, I'm Spring.

Clarke.

Joy. How do you guys

know each other?

I'm sort of his manager.

Not really.

Well, sort of.

- Clarke is an artist.

- Oh, really?

I try to be, nothing like your

brother. You know, I try.

Whatever, man.

Clarke's got

this huge art show tonight.

It's not that big.

- We can all go.

- Yeah!

What kind of art is it?

Umm...

Clarke did those.

I... I did do these.

Umm, this is my mother,

which are disposable razors.

And that would be, like,

my dad with hair curlers.

And I always liked to touch his

moustache when I was little.

If they two got together

and pooped something out,

then I like to

think of myself as...

Umm...

Awkward.

We're about to watch a movie.

Do you want to come sit

so you can see it?

Okay.

Oh. Sorry.

I really like them.

Oh, thank you.

You want popcorn?

Yep.

Ready, you guys?

The best home video ever.

WOMAN:

Mez, say hi.

Hi.

Want to play the guitar, Mez?

And this is Spring

Well, I'm Spring.

Brook? Brook?

Hello there.

Mom, can you read us a story?

I sure can. Bring me a book.

Okay.

Umm, wait. Hello?

Did she tell you guys

about her imaginary chipmunks?

MAN:

How about, uhh...

Who want to go help me

feed the chickens?

I do!

Me!

- Move over.

- Yes.

We're going to get eggs, Mom?

Mm-hmm, we are.

Look at that.

Can I grab that one?

Can you reach it?

There you go.

All of them.

B-B-Be real careful.

Don't squeeze 'em.

Don't squeeze 'em.

Can you carry 'em back?

All right.

Mom? Can you help me

find a brush?

I know, I'll help you

find a brush in one second.

Let's go see

your brother and dad

on the piano for one second.

Can you do that?

("Ode to Joy" by Beethoven)

(Door opening)

(Door closing)

Woo!

It's only temporary.

I want to get a Soma,

which is the best tubing

for a chromoly frame.

And when I get my next

unemployment cheque,

I want to get some Phil Wood

hubs, gold tires, gold chain.

It's going to be so rad.

And I'm going to

take off the brakes

'cause the brakes

are only for beginners.

So, I will... I think.

Have you guys ever seen Avatar?

Can I have one?

Didn't know you smoked.

I don't light it.

I just like the taste.

You're weird.

What's Dad doing?

He's fine.

He said he's probably going to

meet up with us tomorrow.

Sounds awesome.

(Birds chirping)

Why'd you leave?

Honestly, because I'm not

a very good person.

Come on. I'm not trying

to guilt trip you.

Well, I don't know

how else to answer that.

I was driving in my car

on the way to the funeral.

And instead of turning right,

I just kept going straight,

till I got here.

What exactly is it

that you're doing here?

Just waiting for happiness

to become cool again.

That's depressing.

I don't know how

to do it anymore.

What?

That.

Safety first!

Go! Go!

I know it doesn't seem like it

but I really am trying.

Not excited that I

turned out this way.

Honestly, it surprises me.

Always thought I was a pretty

emotionally stable person.

(Chuckling)

You're serious.

CLARKE:

Brook?

Do you guys want to go

watch me race?

It's my first time

on a velodrome.

Oh... Okay. When?

Right now.

Hey, everybody.

Thanks for coming down to the

San Diego Velodrome again.

Good to see you.

Brook, what's up?

Hey, man, you're here

to see Clarke, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, I got you guys

some seats, actually.

There's a bunch of, like,

fixer wannabes in the front row.

So, anyway, so are you

excited for Friday?

Uhh...

You're going to play, right?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, are you just working on

new stuff or... new music?

No, not really, nothing new.

Oh, just focussing, that's cool.

I like to focus sometimes.

I usually, like, listen to

Canines, actually,

before a ride.

Hey, guys.

Brook's here.

Remember I told you

to move when Brook...

How you doing?

Good to see you.

Is Brook famous?

Maybe to these people.

Nice to see you.

All right, riders, going to

have to roll up on the wall.
