Jack, Jules, Esther & Me Page #9

---

That was a mistake.

I know.

Eh...

Jack's parents explained.

You spoke to them.

Eh, you know, eh...

You've accomplished a lot.

More than I ever had the

opportunity when I was your age.

La fiesta tonight is, eh...

Is more for us.

For me, and...

and your mother.

And uh...

We're very proud of you.

Yeah, so.

As long as you know that.

So, good?

Hey! What's up? Hey!

Hey, man.

Look,

I know you don't want me here.

But...

I...

I still want to leave.

You know, without...

You know?

I've been hanging with your boy.

Oh, you spoke to Carlos?

- Yeah!

Yeah.

For sure.

For sure.

Jack said he's sorry

for calling me a gang banger.

And it was your fault anyways.

You know, the whole mugging.

So I decided clean slate.

Dude, it started so simply.

We're just like,

talking about nicknames.

We both love nicknames.

I call him C-dog.

And then he just...

- J.C.

That's what he wants me

to call him, now.

I like it,

because it sounds like Jesus.

Yeah, I'ma, I'ma gonna head back

in the kitchen but um...

Don't worry about sh*t,

right now.

We'll talk later, all right?

F***ing!

He's a cool, dude.

I got your message.

You left five.

Yeah.

I suck at technology.

So...

You have to go to a prep school?

Oh, man!

Your parents must be pissed.

My dad's definitely wishing he

used a condom, roughly 18 years ago.

I...

It looks like

he's hanging in there.

Dude, they wanted to be here.

They like you, man.

They just...

...just don't like me.

Yeah, well.

Sometimes you're hard to like.

I know.

Just... don't write me off.

You know, I can be better.

They had to drop a huge pile

of cash at that prep school.

Funny, like three scholarships

just to get me in.

Oh, what kind of scholarships?

Can anyone apply?

You don't... you don't need

to go to prep school.

Nah.

For C-dog.

Yeah, I mean. I don't know. I can ask.

Cool.

I thought you were on lockdown.

You know,

our parents are push-overs.

Are you...

going to invite us in?

Oh, hey, Lou.

Um...

Hey.

- Hey.

Listen, I just want to say I'm really

sorry about... - Oh, no, don't even.

This whole weekend was one big

mess, but uh... - No, no, no.

It... really.

It was nice.

No one's ever done anything

like that for me before.

No one should ever.

It's the best piece.

Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Hey!

Hey.

So... I want you to know that

I'm turning over a new leaf.

The girls I hooked up with.

We didn't really hook up.

I mean, we made out for like, five

seconds and then you took your pants off.

Yeah.

Well...

Regardless.

I want to keep in touch.

I... actually

wouldn't mind that.

You know what?

We should say a verb.

It's like...

You know, say whatever and...

Say whatever?

Like?

I don't know, like...

How was last night?

She's pretty cool.

I approve.

Hey! Hey. What's up.

This food is like,

stupid good.

This is so bad.

Serious man.

I feel like the Battle of

Helmet Deep is running in my bowls.

I... I should not have

mixed burritos and Milk Duds.

Yeah, that was probably...

That was a terrible idea.

Not really. And

it was like, way too much milk.

I don't think I've drunk

that much milk.

They don't anymore,

because I drank it all.

And then it... it's

congealing with the burrito...

Ew.

... right now.

Two can play this game

I made inside my head

One does soul then the

other one is very dead

So listen high,

listen low

Uh, can I just...

Here, I'll take the bag.

I-I want to meet your roommate

and uh, fix your room a little bit.

Yes!

Yes.

It's okay, I...

I don't-I don't think

that'll be a um, a good idea.

I...

I-I just don't want to say goodbye

to you in front of everybody.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Got it!

Hey.

Hey.

Come in.

All packed.

Yeah.

Is that for me?

Hey, Jack.

Hey!

What's up?

Did you talk to her?

My dad, too.

How was that?

So, are you gonna let me open it or.

- Yeah!

Yeah.

- Yeah.

I uh...

was gonna write you a rap.

But Luis

kind of beat me to it.

So... I got you that.

Just been looking at it a lot,

lately, so...

Some weird gone off my hair,

but...

You look pretty good.

You know, Dartmouth's only

80 minutes from my school.

I may've uh... googled it.

And some, some bus times, too.

But, if you ever wanna...

come study or...

just watch me implode.

Live by day, you must've,

just a saddest glen

Oh, when is it that time

the minutes in, the carnival

The time like that day

I've lied...

Hey, Melda.

What's up?

Oh-oh.

Okay.

Eh, I'm gonna miss you, too.

Stay away

from those chocolates, okay?

Okay.

Ready?

Two can play this game

I made inside my head

One does soul then the

other one is very dead

Hey!

So listen high

and listen low

And maybe you will give

a silent scream of voices...

Why didn't you tell me

you were coming?

I was afraid

I might... chicken out.

Yeah, I mean, it's just a couple

hundred grand worth of loans, right?

I hope it's worth it.

So, uh, where are you headed?

Uh... student center?

I was actually gonna go there,

too.

Cool!

Oh, well.

I think it's that way, actually.

Okay,

Um...

So, did you just get here?

Yeah, I did.

I dropped myself off

at my dorm room.

Cool!

How was it?

It's nice. -

Yeah? - Yeah.

How many roommates do you have?

- I have...
