otherwise it's going to make

a terrible noise and we crash.

Okay?

Okay.

First.

Second.

Third.

That's fourth.

I can't believe

you cheated.

No letters.

All of it's

schoolwork.

I looked through

those already.

Where the hell is

Chasm Falls, New York?

We'll find out.

But Quinn's Billiards

should be pretty easy.

Goddamn it.

You know some woman

named Kailey Sullivan?

Oh, f***.

Did she wreck my truck?

Why would she wreck your truck?

Because she thinks it's hers.

Excuse me.

You Mr. Quinette?

Hey, Gulls.

You try to get

some sleep, okay?

We've still got a ways.

No, I'm okay.

What do you think Dad's

doing right now?

I think he's

worried about you.

I just hope he

isn't mean to Ellen.

You want to write

him a letter?

No. Maybe some time

but not right now.

Why not?

It would just make

him even madder.

Well, we'll write

him a letter

whenever

you want, okay?

Go to sleep, Gulls.

How far is Canada?

It's not far.

Probably about 20

miles up there.

We've got to catch a bus.

Let's just drive.

We can't.

Hey, Gulls, listen.

On the bus, if anyone asks,

you're a very sick kid.

Like a cold?

No, maybe even

worse than that.

Escarole poisoning?

What is that?

I guess like food poisoning.

No. Uh, worse than that.

I've got to get my bag first.

What time is it?

Almost 5:
30.

And remember, worse than

escarole poisoning, okay?

Morning.

Morning.

You're new.

Yeah.

Mom, I'm starving.

The bus will

be here soon.

No, it'll be late.

It always is.

Uh, I'll go get us

some donuts, okay?

Stay here.

Can I get, uh, four

plain cake donuts,

a milk and a large coffee?

I don't have any

regular coffee.

I just have decaf.

You gotta be f***ing kidding me.

I drank it all.

Fine. Just, uh,

give me a decaf.

Mom?

Gull, I told you

to stay in line.

Kailey? Kailey?

I need you

to stop running now.

Kailey?

Look at me. Look at me.

Kailey!

No, no, no, leave the bag!

Leave the gun!

Kailey! No!

Mom!

Okay. Get in the truck.

No, it's okay.

Okay. It's okay.

I'm fine, Gulls.

I just... I just need you

to shift again, okay?

Just... I'll get you into first,

but from then on,

it's all you, kid. Okay?

Okay, come on.

That's my boy.

Hey. You Gulley?

Yeah, I am.

I got a letter for you.
