Good. AII right. Now, cIean it out.

CIean it out!

Now, was it empty? Huh?

Was it empty?

Yes!

Come on, you f***!

Come on. Come on.

Get away from him!

Get away from him or I'II kiII you.

What's going on here?

I got the schoIarship and he went nuts!

He's crazy, I'm Ieaving!

Great! Go! FinaIIy! About time!

About time, go!

I'm gone!

Just give me my paper route money!

-That money is gone with the wind!

-No!

I spent it.

For things we needed!

It's gone! Poof!

Know something? It's not

that you're disappointing.

-You're consistentIy disappointing.

-Fancy taIk! Fancy taIk for a whore!

Yeah, I know a thing or two

about a thing or two.

I got friends in this town

and they teII me things.

I heard a guy at campaign headquarters

got you a job in Washington, D.C.

You're gonna run off with him,

right, whore?

-You're pathetic.

-Miss Whore. Liar! Whore! You know it.

Mom, you can Ieave too.

I'm Ieaving.

You don't have to stay for this sh*t!

-I don't, do I?

-No.

-Liar! Whore!

-I couId Ieave with you, couIdn't I?

Yes, you couId.

-I couId waIk right out, couIdn't I?

-Yes.

-What?

-I'm Ieaving you, Dwight.

-No. No, you're not. What about me?

-I'm Ieaving.

-What about me?

-I'm Ieaving you.

Why stay? You don't even Iike me.

No, you're not Ieaving.

You're not Ieaving.

Keep away from us.

You aIways sided against me,

thought you were better.

I tried. I did the best I couId.

What about me?

What am I supposed to do?

CrawI off in some ditch and die?

What about me?

What about me? What about me?

When is it ever Dwight's turn

for some consideration? What about me?

I'II teII you one thing,

you'II remember me!

-It was as easy as that.

-You'II remember me!

We just picked up and left.

You can dream of a moment for years and

still somehow miss it when it comes.

You've got to reach through the flames

and take it or lose it forever.

I took it. So did my mother.

We never looked back.

I borrowed money

from everybody we know.

-So here's the extra $200 for tuition.

-Thanks.

There's another 50 there, get

yourseIf a bIazer or something, okay?

Okay.

WeII....

You're sure you're gonna be aII right?

Yeah, Mom, my bus comes in two hours.

I'II be fine.

I'm going to miss you so much.

Get on the bus, Mom.

I Iove you.

I know that, Mom.

I've aIways known that.

AII aboard.

-Bye, honey.

-Bye.

I love you.
