UH, LYLE?

I WAS GONNA SAY:

DIABOLICAL.

YEAH.

SOMEONE:

HAD TO STOP YOU, JACK.

I KNOW:

YOU'RE A GOOD KID,

BUT IF YOU KEEP LYING

TO EVERYONE YOU MEET,

SOON, IT WON'T MATTER.

LIFE IS PRETTY LONELY

WHEN NO ONE TRUSTS YOU.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

IT IS.

WAIT.

YOU TRIED TO TEACH JACK

THAT LYING IS BAD

BY LYING TO HIM?

[RYAN SCOFFS]

I THOUGH THEY FOUND THE POSSUM.

HOW'S THE PUNISHMENT GOING?

[SIGHS]

OH, BY THE WAY--

YOU MISSED A SPOT.

-OH, YEAH.

HEY, MAN. WHAT'S UP?

OH, YOU KNOW.

JUST LIVING THE DREAM.

IF THE DREAM:

IS SUCKING GARAGE DUST.

[MOM]:

[CHUCKLES DRYLY]

YES.

RYAN JUST CAME TO VISIT.

NICELY DONE.

HOW LONG YOU GROUNDED?

WELL, I'M NOT ALLOWED

OUT OF THE HOUSE

UNTIL THE GARAGE IS CLEAN.

WELL, IF WE WORK TOGETHER,

WE SHOULD HAVE YOU

OUT OF HERE IN ABOUT A WEEK.

[CHUCKLES]

[KNOCKING]

[STARTS THUMPING]

JACK?

WHY ARE YOU TRYING

TO BREAK MY DOOR DOWN?

OH! SORRY, SORRY.

YEAH, FIRST TIME I'VE BEEN

ALLOWED OUT OF THE HOUSE

IN OVER A WEEK.

GOT A LITTLE EXCITED.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

LISTEN, JENNIFER,

I KNOW I MESSED UP,

BUT FROM NOW ON,

I'M GOING TO BE

COMPLETELY HONEST WITH YOU.

OKAY.

MY FAVORITE FLAVOR

IS GRAVY.

I BITE MY TOENAILS.

OH, STOP.

TOO MUCH HONESTY.

RIGHT. SORRY.

STILL TRYING TO GET USED

TO TELLING THE TRUTH.

WILL YOU AT LEAS CONSIDER

GIVING ME A SECOND CHANCE?

COME ON...

LET ME:

MAKE IT UP TO YOU.

FINE.

YOU CAN MAKE IT UP TO ME.

YES! OKAY.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING RIGHT NOW?

-RIGHT NOW?

-RIGHT NOW!

DANNY KOSTAS OF THE RED SOX

IS KIND OF MY BUDDY.

I GAVE HIM SOME HITTING ADVICE.

YOU KNOW, NOTHING BIG.

BUT HE SENT HIS LIMO

TO TAKE ME:

AND ANYBODY I WAN TO THE RED SOX

GAME TODAY,

AND I WANT TO TAKE YOU.

YOU JUST SAID,

"FROM NOW ON, I'M GONNA BE

COMPLETELY HONEST WITH YOU."

I AM.

SEE YOU AT SCHOOL, JACK.

BUT JENNIFER--

[THUD]

SHE DIDN'T BELIEVE ME.
