But all the time

you've waited for

What is owed to you

You wanna fight,

they will fight you blue

You wanna lie,

who will lie with you?

You're the only one

waiting for a sign

So you're the only one

So you're

the only one

Everyone's had

some situation

Keep it to yourself

There's no need

to answer questions

Your lies have spoiled

two confessions

And all the time

you've waited

Won't come back to you

You wanna fight,

they will fight you blue

You wanna lie,

who will lie with you?

You're the only one

waiting for a sign...

(inaudible)

So you're the only one

So you're

the only one

Everybody wants to be

a genius.

(moaning)

Everybody loves the book.

Yes, they do.

- You did the right thing.

- Yeah. Yeah.

F*** me.

- I am.

- Harder.

No no no.

From behind.

Okay. Okay.

- Like that?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- To the left.

To the left.

My left. My left.

Okay.

Yeah!

Yeah.

Don't stop.

Don't stop.

Don't stop!

- Stop! Stop. Stop.

- Okay. Sorry.

- Pull my hair.

- Like that?

- Not... not so hard.

- Oh, okay.

Are you ready

for our undead marathon?

Lance:
Well, that's the thing.

Something came up.

Kind of an emergency.

I can't make it.

- Sorry.

- Oh. No, it's okay.

- Can I take a rain check?

- Oh yeah, dear. Good.

Yeah, listen l...

I hope everything's okay.

Oh, yeah.

It's just a small emergency.

- Okay. See you.

- Sorry. Bye.

Mike:

Everything okay there, pal?

Yeah, great.

- Here you go.

- Thanks.

You know what line

really blew me away,

is when Kyle wrote:

"America is one of the finest

countries anyone ever stole."

That was brilliant.

He reminds me

of my Hunter.

Lance, I have

a confession to make.

I lured you out here

under false pretenses.

I need to ask you

something.

Would it be all right with you

if we renamed the library

the Kyle clayton

memorial library?

But you were gonna put him

in a special-needs class.

Yeah.

Yeah, and I feel

really bad about that.

- Oh.

- He wasn't slow.

Obviously

he was brilliant.

He was just bored.

You know, we had him

totally wrong.

I just hope to God that our mistake

didn't have anything to do with...

well, with what happened.

I'm pretty sure it didn't.

Thanks, Lance.

Your saying that

means a lot.

This tribute will be

an inspiration to other students

and it'll help keep

Kyle's memory alive.

Sure, sir. Wyatt.

Thanks, Lance.

Thanks.

Oh!

Just like my prom night,

nothing went in the hole.

No, it's good. It's gonna be

a tasteful dedication.

Very tasteful.

- (cell phone ringing)

- (beeps)

Hello?

You're kidding me.

Thank you so much.

- Wow.

- What?

Pentola... he sent

Kyle's journal to Dr. Dana.

She loves it. She wants me

to be on the show.

She's gonna fly me to L.A.

- What's Dr. Dana?

- She's like Oprah.

Well, she's not

as big as Oprah.

I mean, it's a good show,

you know?

Women seem to really like it.

(knocking on door)

- Andrew.

- Are you busy, Mr. Clayton?

Oh, no no.

Just packing for my trip.

Yeah, that TV show.

"Dr. Dana."

What's up?

I feel bad.

I wish I knew

he was that depressed.

You and me both.

You know what's strange

about the book?

What?

Kyle never talks

about vaginas, anal sex,

fisting, felching

or rim jobs.

It is a little light on the felching

area, you're right.

But I think it's there,

Andrew, in its own way.

I was his best friend.

The book is so smart and sad.

He never talked

with me like that.

I wish he did. Maybe he wouldn't

have done what he did.

Don't blame yourself,

Andrew.

One thing I know,

he liked you.

Then why didn't he

talk to me?

What do you want me

to tell you, Andrew?

Maybe it's like

I told you before,

he was super smart.

He didn't want people to know

because he was afraid

of being treated differently.

But it doesn't make sense.

He was already treated like a freak.

If he was that smart he would have

loved to rub their noses in it.

Oh, Jesus christ, Andrew.

Why can't you let it go, okay?

No wonder

your mother drinks.

You know one of the last

things Kyle said to me?

He said that you're

a stupid f***ing idiot.

Have a good time

on your TV show.

Kyle's still dead.

Andrew.

Are you almost ready?

I think we should get going.

Claire:
I think you should

keep your pants on.

I think you should put

your pants on.

I'm not going

to wear pants.

Oh. I'm really nervous.

Yeah, you should be.

Mmm. Thanks.

I'm using backward

psychology.

It's not working.

I have to pee again.

(knocking on door)

- Hello.

- Mr. Clayton,

I don't wanna be rude

but the show called again

- and we really should be leaving.

- Okay, thank you very much.

Baby, that was the driver.

He said the show called.

- We gotta get going, okay?

- (sighs)

Oh, you look gorgeous.

Let's get going, come on.

- Does this make my ass look big?

- No no. Not at all.

- You can't see your ass.

- What do you mean?

- I mean...

- So you're saying I don't have an ass?

I'm saying your ass is there,

but it's not too much.

- I'm changing again.

- No.

You know, sweetheart,

I really should get over there

so I could sit down with the producer

and go over with what

I'm gonna say.

That would

really help me a lot.

- All right.

- Okay.

- What do you think?

- Fabulous.

- I really...

- Nope.

I like that dress.

Sometimes people on the way,

they throw up in my car.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Okay, let's go.

- You look pretty.

- Thank you. You're so sweet.

Thanks. Which one of you

is on the show?

- I am.

- Oh.

- No, you're gonna do great.

- Thanks.

Hi, Lance clayton

for the "Dr. Dana" show.

- Hi, guys.

- Dr. P.

Lance, hi. Jerry Klein...

we spoke on the phone.

- Mm-hmm.

- We can let them in.

Follow me. We can go right in.

We're running a little late.

- You guys hit some traffic, huh?

- Oh, yeah.

- Ah, wonderful.

- This is claire, my girlfriend.

- Hi, claudia. Jerry Klein.

- Claire.

We're not gonna have time

to go through the notes

in the greenroom

as we planned,

- so we're gonna do it in makeup.

- Makeup?

- And that's this way. Claudia?

- Claire.

Thank you so much for sending

the photos of Kyle. They're beautiful.

- And also the book.

- I sent the book.

Is she gonna be holding up

the back of the book?

That's a director question.

I'm a segment producer.

How do we know

when the camera is on me?

You're gonna be

in the friends-and-family section.

- (audience applauding)

- Could you grab a seat?

Okay, yeah. Sure.

I just have a couple of issues

to discuss with Lance.

- Lance, do you have questions?

- No no.

- Look over here, please.

- Good. Good.

So, Lance, if you should start

to talk about your son...

- Mm-hmm. Yeah.

...and begin to cry, or well up...

- Okay.

...just go with it.

Don't be ashamed, okay?

- Yeah.

- And if you cry...

- Mm-hmm.

...look up.

- No, look down, please.

- Oh.

- Don't look down. Look up.

- Can you look down?

- Don't tuck your chin.

- Oh.

And above all,

don't be nervous.

Lance, hi.
