Jack, Jules, Esther & Me Page #8

---

You know, talk to your dad.

Talk to your mom.

Maybe I will.

Maybe I will.

Can we just... sleep.

I'm so tired.

Okay.

But only for like, two hours.

Okay.

We're not having sex.

Okay.

And if you try

to take advantage of me...

I'll kick you right out.

Okay, Jack.

I don't get it.

Who is she?

She's his doctor and...

they've been together but...

It's just so complicated.

No, no.

This is killing my brain.

Can we please just like, change the channel?

- No, no, no.

We have to watch this!

- Oh, why?

Because... I've been waiting

to watch this episode all week.

That's my bed.

I know,

it's... really comfortable.

Yeah, you know what?

No, it is a new mattress.

And I would really like to be sleeping

on it. - You know what, Jack?

If you are so uncomfortable, you

should just sleep on the top bunk.

I can't sleep on the top bunk.

I have a legitimate fear

of heights.

Jack,

it's five feet off the ground.

It's agoraphobia!

And it's not a joke.

- Jack, I don't think that, that means...

Whatever.

Because I feel like... - Oh my God,

how old are you? - ... that's fair.

No, I'm... I'm 18.

I'm a man.

I'm just, you know.

Man wants a tuck-in.

Please?

You were so much

cuter when you were 12.

I was such a spaz.

You were nicer.

Remembered all of my birthdays.

And half-birthdays, too.

Except for this year.

Locked in these arms since

the night although had it say

How did I get so hung up on you?

Seriously.

You know what?

We just need to like,

start over.

These tears that are rolling

down these cheeks

And no one will see them

beneath this sheets

Been taking it

badly this days

Been taking it

badly this days

These days

What if I was gonna be better?

I want to be

like, so much better.

You really should call, though.

You wanna go in?

I don't have a bathing suit.

You could always go in naked.

No, that is not happening.

I will if you will.

Oh!

Oh my God!

I'm so sorry.

I-I just had to.

Are you... are you okay?

No, no, no.

I have any no other clothes,

please.

Don't do it.

All right.

Fine.

Hey.

Hey.

Keep it

short. Lou's a busy man.

Hey man.

What's up, yo?

I'm really sorry

I blew you off but...

I had like, an emergency, kinda.

I mean, I really.

Like, a real emergency, though.

Um...

If you are satisfied

with your message, press...

Hey man, what's up!

Um...

Um...

Something came up.

I just thought...

I had to deal with it

I-I was hoping

I could've avoid telling you.

Hey buddy.

If you are satisfied

with your...

Hey, man!

I-I just got your message.

I completely f***ed up,

you know.

But I'll be out there

ASAP to pick you guys up.

Um... maybe you and Esther

hooked up or like, you know,

not in my bed though,

because that's weird.

I... have to talk to you about

something...

about Jules... and me.

But look man,

I... don't...

I... hope you'll still

want to be my friend.

After... just... because...

Because you're really important

to me, dude, and...

If you are satisfied with your

message, press one.

To listen to your message,

press two.

Jack would ring the doorbell

to his own house.

How are you doing today, guys?

Hi. - Hi. - You

guys live here?

No, but my friend Jack does.

Your friend Jack?

- Yeah.

Okay, where is Jack, now?

Is he here?

I... not yet.

Are the owners here?

I'm gonna need you guys to step out

for a second so I can speak to ya.

Are you serious?

I need you to come outside

for a minute.

I wanna talk to ya.

He's not picking up his phone.

Call his parents!

I don't have their number.

Then call... Jules.

I mean...

I'd... Fine!

Okay.

I can't believe

this is happening.

You guys get a hold of anybody?

All right, well, we can't get a hold

of anybody that says you can be here.

You're gonna come with us, you're gonna,

we're gonna wait at my headquarters.

Your parents are gonna come to

my headquarters and pick you up.

You're gonna call our parents?

- Yup.

We're gonna get a hold

of you parents. Let's go.

Come on.

You have anything in your backpack,

anything I need to know about?

Any drugs, any weapons,

anything like that?

No, there's nothing in

my pockets. No?

Nothing in

your pockets? Nope, man.

Relax. - I am relaxed.

- No, you're not relaxed.

Okay. - It'd better if you

just kept your mouth shut.

Go, have a seat.

You have anything in your bag,

I need to know about?

No.

- Let me see it.

Anything illegal, any weapons?

Um-um.

Just my phone and my wallet.

You have anything sharp on you

that's gonna stick me? - Mm-mm.

Nothing at all?

- No.

Anything in your pockets?

All right, follow me.

Come around here.

Come around the car.

Hop in there.

Watch your feet.

Thank you.

Hi.

Good morning.

Hey, yeah.

This is uh, my house.

Are you...?

Yeah, I'm Jack.

No, I mean, we can drop you

off a home. It's really not...

No, it's okay.

I can get there faster

on the train.

Okay.

Bye.

Hey, wait up!

What?

Look, um...

I'm sorry.

I, uh... I probably won't

see you again... before I go.

Good luck at school.

You, too.

Hey.

Uh... I thought you were home,

packing last night.

Uh, no, I was helping Jack out

with something.

Um... you should probably

talk to him.

He, he, he... needs..

Yeah.

I'm really sorry about...

It's okay.

- ... the, um...

I'm-I'm gonna go.

Hey.

Hey!

Uh...

Did Jules sleep here last night?

Yeah, sort of.

Um...

I needed help

writing a paper, though.

You know,

it was a total emergency.

What the f***?

She and I have...

a long history, man but...

She likes you.

She really does like you.

I spent almost all of my savings

on this weekend.

I know!

I know, and...

I was down with the plan,

you know.

I forgot a few things.

A few things?

It didn't occur to you

to tell your parents

before I went up

to your country house?

Didn't think that my neighbors

were gonna be a**holes.

Oh, you didn't think that they

would freak when they saw me?

I mean, how many Puerto Ricans

have you seen out there

not mowing lawns or changing sheets?

- I f***ed up, okay?

I f*** everything up.

You know I like her.

I know!

I know.

I like her, too.

Oh.

F*** this.

Thanks for getting my bag, man.

No, this is f***ing stupid, man.

I don't want a girl

to screw up our friendship.

Oh, no, no, no.

We're not friends.

Name one thing

you've actually done for me.

I... have to... do things?

Yeah!

I've lied to girls for you. I've

cheated on tests for you. - I...

I got you that job.

I was a janitor.

I barely made minimum wage.

And I only took it because my parents

said I had to be super thankful.

You know, it's a big deal to

be friends with the Coltraub's.

Gotta work that.

Two weeks after school starts,

I'll never hear from you again

because, because that would

require effort!

And you've never worked for

anything in your life.

Your parents

just buy you everything.

Yeah, they do.

But they're disappointed

every time I talk.

Good luck at school.

Hijo! Hey! Hey!

Hmm-hmm.
