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.
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
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?
Claire:
I think you shouldkeep your pants on.
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.

in the greenroom
as we planned,

- 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.

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.
