[Mom] Good morning. How was the game? [Paul] Fine.
[Dad] Game? [Mom] Volleyball, remember?
[Mom] You're limping ! [Paul] I… pulled a muscle.
Honey, could you just wait until I have some clothes on or some make-up, please, before you start that?
[Paul] Documentaries are supposed to show reality, ... [Mom] Paul!
[Paul] even if it’s not pretty. [Mom] Honey, just ...
Did you win?
Ummm… No!
Well, you’ll get ‘em next time, huh?
“Some you win, some you lose, some you get rained out, but you suit up for every game.”
When’s your next game or... match ... or whatever they call it in volleyball? I’ll take off work.
[Paul] You don’t have to. [Dad] No, no! My kid’s on a team.
[Dad] I should see this! [Paul] I’ll check!
[Janie] I’m making a movie, too. [Paul] Knock it off! --- [Mom] Janie !
Oooh, no! Another one of those gay kids killed himself, over in Tucane.
Shit, they’re everywhere these days.
Language!
You’re breaking me, kid.
'Says he was bullied...
Hey, well. When I was in school, they didn't go killing themselves every time that someone teased ‘em or made ‘em cry.
Bullying toughens you up, prepares you for life. Gives you a thick skin.
Funeral’s today.
It’s a sin, you know. Suicide.
Ooooh. Parents must be mortified !
[Paul] Ethan. [Dad] Huh?
[Paul] That was his name [Dad] Huh!
Well, I gotta get some sleep.
[Dad] Going in early tonight. [Mom] Okay ... --- [Dad] 'love you
Can I take the car?
No. Not until you get your grades up.
Will that boy go to hell?
Well. That’s what the Bible says.
But he was bullied. And a kid. 'Doesn’t seem fair.
I... I, I don’t make the rules.
