October Baby Page #4

rooming with Alanna.

- Is there another option?

- No. Danielle paid double for her own room.

I'm sleeping here in the van,

so you can have my room.

No, that won't work,

because you're staying with me.

And neither Hannah nor Alanna would-

would stay with me. Would you?

Get away from me,

Truman.

[ Door Slams ]

Respect Evelyn!

[Pills Rattling 1

That's a lot

of pills.

Yeah. [ Chuckles ]

it's ridiculous, huh?

[ Scoffs ]

You know what I think?

I think you just

like to use this stuff.

That way people have to

be nice to you, you know?

Like, Poor little Hannah.

So wounded.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean-

Okay. You never mean to do anything,

but that's the point. You still do.

Why did you even

come on this trip anyway?

Jason invited me.

We didn't want you to.

He's just...

too nice to say it.

Um- I usually get up early, but

I can set an alarm if you want.

Hannah, just go to sleep.

What is wrong with you?

[ Sighs 1

[ Bmac Snoring ]

[ Hannah Muttering ]

[ Door Rattling ]

[ Grunts, Sputters ]

What's going on?

It's just me.

What are you doing?

Getting some stuff

Go back to sleep.

[ Door Closes ]

Hannah! Hannah.

What's going on?

I'm leaving.

- It's the middle of the night. Can we talk about this?

- I don't wanna talk about it.

I'm- I'm leaving, and you're staying

here with your... girlfriend!

I realize that I'm a problem, and

that I never should have come here,

so you can just go to New Orleans

with everybody else in your posse...

and just have fun or whatever.

I don't even

care any more.

You're not making sense.

What is wrong?

Apparently I'm what's wrong.

Look. I'm leaving.

Don't follow me.

Dude. Her dad's

gonna kill you, man.

He's scary, man.

Sorry it took me so long.

The only rental place that was open

was by the airport, so- took a while.

I don't need

your charity, Jason.

Yeah, you do.

What? So we're just gonna

go to Mobile together or what?

Beats walking.

What would

Alanna think?

Doesn't matter

what she thinks.

This was my decision.

All right? She knows that.

Now get in.

I don't have time for this.

- Why do you care?

- I care about you, all right?

No. I'm not the kind of girl who

just gets in a car with anybody.

Right. But you will

hitchhike by yourself-

I wasn't hitchhiking.

I was walking.

Okay. No, that's

equally smart.

I would've been fine.

Mm-hmm.

You remember

when we were nine, I think?

When you were nine,

I was eight and a half.

Yes. Thank you for that

unnecessary correction.

I was nine,

you were eight and a half.

And we would go with the Thompson

kids, remember, and we would-

Race to the water?

Yeah.

This all just

reminded me of it.

JJ [Ends]

Hey.

Hi.

I have $90 and change,

or something like that.

And- [ Chuckles] a phone that doesn't

work because the ocean broke it.

- The ocean broke it?

- Shh.

Do you have a towel?

The cheapest we have is 110.

Unless, uh,

you are Triple

- Oh, yeah. We are. We have all three A's.

- Yeah.

[Jason ] But we need

separate rooms, really.

[ Hannah ] Yes, because

we're not together.

Like that.

No.

[Typing 1

Triple A is 99.

Mmm. Only one room

available at that rate.

The only other room I have

is, uh, the luxury suite.

Uh- That-

That sounds great.

- Uh, we just need the regular room, though.

- The very regular room.

[ Jason ] Standard.

Mm-hmm. This-

- Maybe next time.

- Yeah.

[ Chattering,

Chuckling ]

I'm freezing.

This is awkward.

Yeah. Definitely

only one bed.

Yeah.

[ Whispers ]

Are you asleep?

I literally just laid down.

Oh, yeah.

Sorry.

Are you okay

down there?

Well, you know,

I usually prefer...

the king-size floor,

but this is all they had, so...

I'll make do.

That's funny.

You're funny.

Do you think I'm being

weird about all this?

Why are we whispering?

I don't know. I mean, you're,

like, the popular college guy.

Girls- They find you attractive

and enjoy your company.

Would you think

it was weird if I said...

I'd never been

with anybody before?

Ph- Physically speaking?

Which is purely a hypothetical

statement, of course.

Um- Oh, that- Sorry.

I didn't- [ Chuckles ] I

didn't mean to get into that.

- Good night.

- Good night.

I can feel you down there,

judging me.

Like you think this is

totally ridiculous.

Like I'm some sort of

Christian homeschooling freak.

- I'm a Chr-

- You thought it.

- I did?

- I thought so.

No. That was a question.

Look. Here's the thing.

What's so wrong

with not having a wild side?

I mean, I'm glad

about the fact...

that I haven't done these...

things with-

And- And-

I- I have a wild side.

You've seen me

play Scrabble.

I'm wild.

What are you thinking?

[Scoffs]

I, uh- I think-

You know what?

[ Sighs ]

I can't do this.

No matter what the circumstances.

Hannah,

where are you going?

Stop judging me

[ Lamp Crashes]

Wow.

/J' [Fades]

[ Sighs 1

Was there a problem

with the room?

No.

[ Clears Throat ]

No. No, the room was fine.

Because

there's no refund,

no matter where

you, uh, sleep.

Hannah, I'm-

I'm sorry.

[ Rattling Door]

Mmm.

I do have a wild side.

Can't believe

you just broke in.

I didn't break in.

The door was open.

It was the back door,

and you pried it open.

[ Scoffs ] I used to wander in the old O.R.

at my dad's hospital.

Cool thing is, all the files and

all the equipment are still there.

[ Door Closes ] [ Jacob ] Hello?

[Sighs]

I'm home.
