This thing with the lifeguard...

things happen.

Keep moving or die.

You understand?

I got to go.

All right.

Okay.

What are you doing here?

I just wanna talk.

So, um...

what happened?

Is, uh, Leigh going, uh,

down the river?

Or up the river,

whatever they say.

It's not funny, John.

I know.

I know.

No, she's not.

Jason and his father,

they refused to name names,

and... Principal holley

just won't accept

my resignation.

Uh, good.

That's good.

Is it?

Yeah.

Do you really think

that I could be a mother?

'Cause I don't know.

You are a little...

Out of control.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm. And you're

a pervert, right?

I mean, not like Leigh,

but you know what I mean.

Right?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, Mel, I do.

Obviously.

John...

come on.

Just come on.

All your dance clothes

and workout gear

are in the closet.

This computer actually works.

And I hooked up the printer,

got you an e-mail...

dancemamas@gmail.

The password

is "outofmyhouse"...

one word.

I love you so much.

I love you too, mom.

Yea, though I walk

through the valley

of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil,

for thou art with me.

Thy rod and thy staff,

they comfort me.

Thou preparest

a table before me...

whose outfit is that?

My mom's.

I'm sorry.

I know.

You're leaving.

I'm gonna go back to the city.

Todd's gonna stay with me

until he finds a place.

I'm gonna look for another job.

New York times.

Education beat.

You remember

the tiger in the apartment?

I won a journalism prize

for my story.

Um, it's a thousand dollars.

Wha... no, I can't...

I can't take this.

You have to. Please?

Please.

So you can leave...

And go to Vermont.

Why would you do this for me?

'Cause you know who you are...

And what you need.

You really do.

And you're gonna be just fine.

You are, believe me.

Believe me.

I have to go.

I May Have Died In a landslide

Of Rocks And hopes and fears

Though It's My Firt

And perhaps last tim

Let's Call Me A Baptist

Call This A Drownig Of the past

She's There On The Shorelie

Throwing stones at my back

And The Land Is a marker line

All I Am Is A Body

Adrift In Water, Salt and sky
