They crashed the car.

Ran a stop sign and

hit a truck..

By the time I got there

everything was on fire.

I couldn't get to them.

It wouldn't have happened

if I hadn't gone after her.

You get changed and go meet Doug.

Hey.

It's not your fault.

That's not your fault.

It's just like..

I mean, my mom

it's not my fault.

Your mother must have been very pretty.

Yeah.

She had bigger tits than me.

I have dads tits, I don't

I got my dads too.

See you back there.

I said, get white ones, but..

You think it's all her fault?

- What?

She told you about that?

Yeah.

It's not like a secret or something?

Give me my lighter back.

Because it would really suck

sh*t if you blamed her for that.

I don't blame her.

What are you talking about?

- I mean, she was being a good mom.

- Who said she wasn't?

So don't think it's all her fault, then?

- No.

I don't know. We don't talk about it.

Wait.

I can't let you do this.

- Lois, don't. - What?

Don't be stupid.

I apologize for being so unsophisicated

but I can not let a 16-year

Well, you are not my f***in mom.

So get the f*** out of my way!
