worrying about you.

Make him grovel

just a little bit, I swear...

Hey!

Hey!

Um...

Uh, did I catch you

at a bad time?

No, never.

They're beautiful, Garrett.

What is?

The flowers!

Flowers? What flowers?

Claire? Hello?

You know what,

I'm going to call you back.

I need to talk to you.

I'm busy with

physical education.

I believe you're familiar

with that subject, right?

Noah!

Those flowers?

What were you thinking?

They were a peace offering.

Do you know what

that looks like?

A student sending

a teacher flowers?

That's why I didn't

sign the card.

And you hacked my email?

You said I could be

in your class.

And you're trying to turn

Kevin against his father!

You can't blame me

for the trouble your cheating

ex-husband has brought upon himself.

Stop it!

You're welcome, by the way.

For saving your son?

Thank you.

You know what, you're right,

I should have thanked you.

Everything okay, Claire?

Yes, Mike.

Everything's fine.

Thanks.

Look, I just want us

to start over, Noah, okay?

Can we do that, please?

Yeah. I can if you can.

So, deal?

You can trust me, Claire.

Okay?

Okay.

Allie? Hey.

Hi, Kev.

Need something?

Yeah, um, I need four three-eighth

hex head bolts, nuts and washers.

And I need an air filter

for a 2012 Silverado Z71.

And I need you to go

to a movie with me.

I'm kind of busy with work.

And now that school's started...

Um...

Okay.

Um...

Well, I guess

I'll see you around, then.

But I don't have

a date to the Fall Fling.

Uh, me neither.

That'd be really great.

Like, really, really, um...

Great?

Yeah, great.

Great.

Okay. Well, um,

I'll see you around.

Okay, cool.

Okay.

I think I like

the first one better.

You do?

Yeah.

Then the soldier says, "No, no,

buddy, she didn't have a head."

Oh, God.

It's stupid.

It is stupid.

I'm not ready.

What?

There's someone else?

No! But we were apart.

Hey, no, no. I don't wanna know.

Look, it was nothing.

It just made me

realize how lost I was.

Me too, Claire.

We gotta...

Listen, we gotta

have a clean slate.

Okay.

But until I get

my head straight,

I'm not ready to

just jump back in,

and I need you to know that.

All right.

All right.

It's honest. Okay?

No guarantees, I get it.

Okay.

Um...

I think I had one too many.

Can I crash on the couch?

Okay.

I just want you to know,

I'm not giving up on us.

Well, I want you know

that I'm not asking you to.

Kevin! Let's go!

What a f***ing whore you are!

"Deal," you said.

"Let's make a deal."

You trying to play me, Claire?

Is that what this is?

Of course not.

Bullshit!

What?

Why are you doing this?

Because you're a f***ing liar!

What is wrong with you?

I'm seeing things clearly now.

You have to stop!

Hey, Noah, what's going on?

Game on.

Mom, what just happened?

Honey,

I need you to stay away from Noah, okay?

He's a bad influence.

What're you talking about?

You're just going to have

to trust me on this one.

No, I'm not going

to trust you! Okay.

'Cause you're not taking away

the one good friend I have.

He is not your friend!

Bullshit!

Mom, he's my friend!

Excuse me?

Watch your mouth and get in the car!

You know, he said you'd do this.

What?

He said you'd do this,

and if you did,

then it was Dad

talking and not you.

He's been right all along!

This is crazy!

Noah, wait!

Kevin! I'm asking you

to get in the car.

See you at school.

Hey! Whoa!

- Excuse me.

- Hello.

Move! Move!

Hey, Peterson!

Your movie was on Turner

Classics last night.

The Wiz.

It's like the black version

of The Wizard of Oz.

The Wizards of Waverly Place

are on tomorrow.

F*** you, Zimmer!

Want some of this?

Yeah, f*** you!

Stop it! Noah, stop it!

Stop it!

Get off!

Get up! Get the f*** up!

Noah, stop!

F*** you!

So, I was looking at your files.

Why?

I'm a vice principal.

It's my job.

Whatever.

So, what a surprise

I found when we didn't

have your transcripts

from your old school,

so I called them.

Know what they told me?

To mind your own business?

No!

That you were kicked out

for disorderly conduct.

Jason Zimmer's skull is fractured.

You could have killed him!

Okay.

I'm not done.

I am.

I'm not! Sit down!

I said sit down!

You know what I see?

I see a pattern of disturbing behavior.

Poor impulse control.

You know what I see?

A pathetic old woman

who's trying to look

and act like

something she's not.

Something she'll never be.

Because all she really is

is a dried up,

dirty, f***ing c*nt.

You're gone, you're expelled!

Kevin, you don't want

to keep her waiting.

Come on,

you're going to be late!

Mom, we're going

to get there too early,

nobody's even going to be there.

Okay, how do I look?

Like the handsomest man

on Earth.

Mom, come on, please, stop.

Seriously, come on,

tonight has gotta be

perfect, all right?

Because Allie Callahan's the

most beautiful girl in school

and I just never thought she'd

actually go out with me.

Okay, please, stop.

Well, she obviously knows

quality when she sees it.

Mmm.

She'll love it! Come on!

Hey!

Hi, Kev.

You look amazing.

Thanks, Allie.

Uh, you look really great, too.

Thanks.

Uh, this is...

That's for you.

Thank you.

Mrs. Peterson?

Yes?

Um, some of the guys

said there's water

running out of

the boys' bathroom.

Oh, okay. Um...

You guys go. Have fun.

Okay.

I'll check it out.

Okay.

So, do you like the flower? Yeah.

I love it, thank you so much.

Anybody in there?

Ugh.

We need to talk.

Your behavior has been

completely unacceptable.

My behavior?

And I'm not going

to stand for it.

Just let me go.

So, what, your sh*t-head

husband comes crawling back

and you're just done with me?

Suddenly, I'm nothing to you?

Like what we had

never even happened.

It was one night, and it was a mistake!

We had nothing!

Hey, hey! Yes, we did.

And you loved it.

Just like this.

No.

Just like this.

No.

Just like this.

Don't.

You think you can scare me

with some graffiti on the wall?

Think again!

It's going to be

your word against mine!

And who do you think

they're going to believe?

Stay away from me!

And stay away from my son!

Sorry, guys.

Good morning!

Um...

Give me one second, okay?

What's going on?

She locked us out.

Mrs. Peterson.

Mrs. Peterson,

open this door!

Mrs. Peterson!

Open this door now!

Mrs. Peterson,

I'm coming in!

Come on in.

What the devil's going on?

The bell rang five minutes ago.

Oh, I'm sorry, Ed.

Take a seat. Come on.

Why was your

door locked, Claire?

Oh, I just had a personal call.

You guys take your seat, okay?

All right.

You know what,

give Mrs. Peterson and I a second.

I'm concerned, Claire.

Very concerned.

Your behavior lately has

raised a lot of eyebrows.

Mike Avenido

reported an incident

in the gym with you

and Noah Sandborn.

Oh. Yeah, I remember that.

That was when I was reprimanding

him for skipping class.

Mike said that you

got physical with him,

that you put your hands on him.
