Molly Maxwell Page #3

You're a little bit late.

Yo, who's the babe?

...Introduction, and just...

Yeah.

Okay.

All right, so I've got something

really cool for you guys today.

This is Jordon Dunhill.

She's a filmmaker, here, in Toronto,

and she's gonna show us

her ultra-modern take on Macbeth.

Trust me, you guys have never seen

Macbeth quite like this.

Thanks, Ben.

You're pretty lucky to have this guy as your teacher.

Now, it's a bit shocking in parts.

For example, Macbeth is played

by Marian Shamley, a woman.

Hey there. How was your day?

Fine.

Just fine?

No, Mom, if was the best day of my life!

Can I go to this talent night thing?

That sounds like torture.

It's a school... Yeah.

It's a s-school activity,

so yeah, yeah, I guess so.

So that means she can come to the Egg Castles, huh?

Well, no, she's grounded.

But you just said I could go to talent night.

Because that's different, it's not a concert.

Egg Castles are way more talented

than anyone at my school.

I gotta go.

I know that you need your privacy more these days...

Mom.

How many of these talks do we really have to have?

Well, I was prelly clueless about my own sexuality

for a very long time,

which affected my self-esteem,

which led to bad decisions, and...

Like what?

And that's another conversation.

You may not want to talk to me about anything.

But...

we're going to Planned Parenthood,

and you're going to get the pill,

or the ring...

Actually, there's a lot of options out there now,

and you can just folk to the doctor about it.

I'm not having sex.

You're acting different.

Anything you want to talk to me about?

No.

Maybe this will help.

Dinner's almost ready.

Oh, God. Really?

You're in for a treat.

Just kidding.

It's gonna be really uncomfortable.

So, you want to go on birth control?

My mom wants me to, even though I'm not!

...you know, having sex.

Do you have a boyfriend?

I like someone.

But... it's compli...

it's complicated.

Well, I can prescribe you birth control,

but if doesn't mean you have to go

have sex all over the place.

I'll try not to have sex all over the place.

Well, I mean, what would you do?

Would you tell him you like him, or what?

Well, I'm pretty straight forward,

so... I'd probably let him know somehow.

You printed photos.

So, how are you doing?

Good.

Great.

How's Jordan?

Jordan?

Yeah.

She seems... interesting.

Yeah, you would think that, right?

I mean, her parents are actually,

like, carnies from the circus,

but she is extremely dull.

It's the weirdest thing.

You know how to make your contact sheet yet?

So, Caitlin made me...

promise to check out that ridiculous talent night.

I thought I'd take some photos.

So many precious snowflakes in one room.

It's like a blizzard.

Wow!

So, who's next?

Ben should play something.

No, Molly, I think this is a student talent night,

so maybe you should demonstrate your skills.

Yeah, but photography

doesn't translate to the stage, so...

Come on, Ben! Don't be lame.

Yeah, come on, Ben. Don't be lame.

Go, Ben!

Okay, well, I should probably apologize in advance.

Here's a song by some city mates of yours.

Okay, now he is sexy.

Maybe I should go for it.

I'm not gonna lie to you.

It was a great show.

This is the worst Easter ever.

Well, atleast your sentence is over.

Hey, I had a drink with your

English teacher last night.

You had a drink with Ben?

He's young, huh?

You kids must eat him for breakfast.

What did you guys folk about?

Oh, you know,

how sh*t the music industry is, the usual.

Seems like a good guy, though.

Did he mention me?

Yeah.

He said you are super cool.

Really?

Anything else?

Well, I don't remember the entire

conversation verbatim, Molly.

Oh, your mom wants you downstairs for the hunt.

Seriously?

'Morning, honey.

Good morning.

You gonna open up your clues?

Don't you think I'm too old for this?

You might want to look in the tub.

No! An iPhone?

Is it for me?

I love you!

I want an iPhone!

That's not fair.

Who are you gonna call?

Mozart?

I don't think he has a cell.

Go get your Lego. Go play.

I'm gonna go meet Gala and Caitlin.

Will you tell Mom so she doesn't spazz out?

What about me spazzing out?

I'm gonna go meet Gala and Caitlin, okay?

Sure. You want a ride?

I'm going to pick up a cellphone for Aiden.

Yep, and next Easter,

we can do firearms all around.

Might be tricky to hide, though.

You look really nice.

Say hi to the girls for me. Okay?

- Okay

- Okay

You look amazing.

Wow. All grown up.

A'ight. See ya.

Hi.

Hey. I, um...

I just wanted to...

drop this off for you.

I didn't... think you'd be home.

Was gonna put if in your... mailbox?

I love this guy.

I actually have something for you too.

Just wait there one sec.

I was going to give these to you at school.

I borrowed them from an artist friend of mine.

Wow. Was it Jordan?

Yeah.

So they're probably boring.

You can probably come in for a sec.

Okay.

Cool place.

Sure, sit down.

Okay.

I love these.

So, you're having a good Easter?

Yes. Daddy gave me an iPhone.

Great. Now you're gonna become

one of those texting demons.

I ran into your dad again.

I heard. How was that?

A bit bizarre, to tell you the truth.

Why?

No reason at all.

You know, Molly,

I actually have to get going pretty quick.

Yeah, me too.

I'm... meeting the girls.

So you were wallowing here in self-pity.

Yeah.

Drowning in scotch, actually.

So it's good I came by, then.

Yeah, you're a real godsend.

Hey. I am so sorry.

I got into a huge fight with my mom, and I got held up.

So...

We talked to your mom.

She said you were with us.

So, where were you?

We were gonna leave without you.

Well... I met a guy at the streetcar...

at the streetcar stop, and...

we got to talking and, you know...

walking around.

I didn't even realize my ringer was off.

Who is he?

His name's Spencer, and...

he goes to Parkdale.

Okay, what's he like?

He plays the trumpet

Ooh, a musician.

Like it?

Yeah.

Tell me, tell me.

He's in the gifted program.

He's gifted?

Yep.

That's really great.

Well, you should invite him over.

That would probably, um...

end things pretty...

pretty quick.

Yeah.

Yeah, I see your point.

Oh, my God!

Breakfast burrito?

No Thanks.

Really?

Hi.

Hello.

Oh, no. Did I just ruin a print?

It's fine. I think I ruined that myself.

No, no, you're killing it.

Wow.

Your brother is a remarkably flexible young man.

Are you okay?

I'm totally okay.

Are you okay?

I'm... scared shitless, to be honest.

Right...

Sorry.

You're something else, Molly Maxwell.

Is that a good thing?

No.

You're like a hand grenade.

All right, well...

keep up the good work, yeah?

If you want, you can...

come over later.

You're coming over, right?

I can't. I'm meeting Spencer.

When do we get to meet this guy?

Soon.

Do you have a date with that new girl yet?

Yeah, but I'm not sure she's my type.

You should take a photo of him and send if to us.
