I'll try.

I'm pretty sure it's colder

in your apartment than it is outside.

An igloo would be warmer.

Yeah, you're probably right.

Igloos are amazing because the snow insulates them

and then your body heat warms them up.

Is that so?

Yes.

Well, it's also a fact people are warmer

without their clothes on,

in a sleeping bag, or...

a duvet.

That's a fact, is it?

You have some photographs to show me?

What?

I0'd love to see some of your photos.

Sure.

Yeah...

This one's lovely.

Did you have to burn in this corner?

Yep. Dodged a bit there too.

Wow. Burning and dodging.

I know.

Your mom looks ecstatic.

You don't really want to spend

the afternoon looking at photos of my mom.

Clothing stays on.

Okay.

And then I said,

"Richard, you can't possibly go in there.

I already gave him seven bananas!"

Not bad.

I don't want to go.

So just...

You should stay.

At least until the search party finds me.

Yeah.

I could build a little dungeon for you somewhere.

That was too for.

I'd just need a trickle of daylight.

He's not even stopping to eat anymore?

He did. Saves a lof of time

when you don't chew.

Sit. Come on.

Tell me all about your date with Spencer.

I'm really fired.

I'm just gonna go to my room.

You want me to get this developed?

What? No.

Don't go through my stuff.

Clean your own sheets then.

It could be cool, I guess.

Maybe they'll be more inspired

if it's something that they can relate to.

I mean, if you made the assignment

into an iPhone app,

then maybe you'd have something.

You turned me into t precious snowflake.

Isn't that enough?

Right. Maybe I should use that stellar technique

with the rest of the class.

Sh*t, gotta go.

Hey. Who you talking to?

Aunt Suzy.

Oh. Want to go to a secret

Joel Plaskefi concert?

I'm not really into Joel Pluskefi that much.

No? I thought you were.

We could have a Guitar Hero marathon.

I kind of have a ton of homework, so...

Okay.

Hey

Okay.

Today, we're going to be starting our poetry unit.

So, M, you get a boyfriend,

and you just decide to peace out?

No, I've just been really busy with photo.

But all of you guys actually listen to poetry

every single day in a sense...

on your iPods.

So, we're going to start this unit by looking at songs

as modern-day poetry,

then we're gonna write our own.

What are some of your favourite songs?

Lady Gaga.

The Wordsworth of pop.

This is so lame.

Great Anybody else?

I like The Zombies.

Starr?

Very nice to see you awake.

Any song in particular?

I don't know the names of the songs.

Okay. Well...

So, have you guys done if yet?

No!

Told you so.

Yeah, pick a song, write down the lyrics,

we'll meet back here and discuss it.

Okay?

Holy sh*t!

So, did you get out to the Tiger Rod show last night?

No. I had a stack of papers to grade.

Oh, that's a shame.

It was epic.

Dad, you're too old to say "epic".

Oh, look who's too cool for her dad now, huh?

Please don't embarrass yourself.

So, Ben...

Well...

Molly's... assignments

and her class attendance have been much more consistent.

Good. That's great.

Yeah, and her independent study is going brilliantly.

She's printing her own photographs

in the dark room already.

Photos? Tic-Toe, why didn't you tell me?

Show them your photographs, Molly.

Yeah.

Molly...

These ore so good.

Oh, yeah. That one's great.

You should be doing my band photos.

Maybe we should just get you

in0o a summer camp...

Okay, can we please go?

Couldn't you have pretended to be sick or something?

I mean, for Christ's sake.

I tried. I'd have to be on my deathbed

for her to miss a conference.

All right, right now, where are you supposed to be?

Homework of Golds.

Seriously?

So, you think your parents

will accept me info the family now?

My dad wants to marry you himself.

You know, 200 years ago,

no one would have any problem

if I took you as my child bride.

Cleopatra was, like, ruling Egypt when she was my age.

Is that even true?

Yeah.

I think you'd make a great pharaoh.

Hey. Clothing stays on.

I'm not taking them off.

What?

Wh-what?

I don't know what I'm doing!

Stop!

How's Spencer?

He's good. I think he's winning

some trumpet awards.

I should...

Are you hearing from Fairfax?

Any day now.

God, it's excruciating.

Hey, Ben, where are your pyjamas?

Oh, I forgot all about it.

Sh*t...

By the wow

Hey

I got the prerelease of the new Ghost Buttons.

Can you take your seat, please, Molly, so we can start?

All right, so, I thought

we could read a few of your songs today.

Anybody like to go first?

Me!

I dreamt I carved your initials into my heart.

With each beat, they grew and

warped like a tree over the years.

I dreamed I carved your initials into my heart.

With each beat...

Molly.

How long have you been in this class?

Now you're gonna f*** around on your phone?

Go see Raymond.

Why?

Because you're blatantly disrespecting me...

Well, you're being an a**hole.

Get out.

What do you want me to tell him, Mr. Carter?

You can tell him you're acting like a spoiled brat.

He's crazy.

Are your moons out of orbit today or something?

Ask Ben. He just freaked out on me for no reason.

Your call is important to us.

Please hold.

Well, what do you think you did?

I don't even know.

Hey, Ben...

Hey! I'm drawing here!

I'm surprised

you're allowed to do anything else

with your precious hands.

Mom! Mom!

Jesus. What?

Molly broke my pencil!

He threw it at me!

Could've token my eye out!

God, Molly. You've been home

for, what, two minutes?

You always take his side!

You were supposed

to pick up Aiden from piano.

He waited an hour

before they called me.

Isn't he old enough to get him a cellphone?

You're really acting like a spoiled brol lately.

You're becoming a total b*tch.

I'm literally gonna punch you in the face

if you don't leave now.

Right, I'll show you, I'll start.

Hi.

Guess what?

Alicia cast a sex spell on me today.

Left a note on my desk.

Is it working?

I don't know yet.

Do you think I... seem different?

You're a jerk.

Look, just... never wear pigtails ever again.

Promise me.

Yeah.

Hey, Raymond.

Hi.

Wow. Look of all your photos.

This is interesting.

Ben, can I have a word with you in my office

when you're done here?

I can come right now.

Great work, Molly.

Raymond was asking questions about us.

He sent me home.

What? Why?

what did he say?

- He was asking about the fight

and why we're spending so much time together.

You're my photo advisor.

I could go to jail, Molly.

I'm above age in Canada.

I looked ii up.

Not if I'm your teacher.

Look...

Well, don't be surprised if

Raymond wants to talk to you as well.

F*** me, he's gonna call your parents.

I'll just tell them you're my new talent.

Molly...

This is not funny.

But...

I can still come over, right?

I don't think so.

And I'm gonna need you to

clear out your phone as well.

If that's what you want.

I don't want to get you in trouble.

Let's do it.

Come on.
