I got him.
Hey, Wiley.
Hi.
You, uh, feel like skipping class?
Unlike you, Mr.I'm-accepted-to-MIT-early,
some of us actually have to attend school to graduate.
Plus I already know I'm gonna be missing classes.
Yeah, I guess.
Breakfast of champions?
Uh, yeah. No use fighting a metabolism on steroids, I figure.
Of course, I'll probably regret the collateral damage of
stomach flaps, stretch marks and ass sag after the break out.
But for now, unlike you, I'm embracing the current situation.
I know this may sound like a broken record,
but care to reveal your plans post-birth?
I'm just gonna continue my career as the Minister's fallen daughter.
You worried?
No. Uh...
No, no, this is... Really, this is my dream.
Ever since I was a little girl, I was like,
"I'm gonna have a baby in my teens.
We're gonna be close to the same age,
so we'll still, you know, be able to party together."
I'm glad to see you've thought this all through.
Yeah, I did.
Safe to assume you're still not gonna let me know who the father is?
Ah, letting that out of the bag would make me
considerably less mysterious, don't you think?
Yeah.
I guess I'll see you around.
Sure, square.
- Would you hurry up, man? - I'm going as fast as I can.
Well, feel like you're purposely trying to make me late.
Since when do you care about being on time for school anyway?
Big party this weekend, man. People need their supplies.
You got any other ambitions than to be a small-time drug dealer?
My goal is to one day be a big-time drug dealer.
Wow, Ronnie.
You're the pride of the family.
Yeah, well, money's better than being a plumber's apprentice.
Come on!
Shit! Watch out!
You dick!
You may think you're tough, but I'll break you in a week.
That I promise.
- Try it. - Hey!
Everything okay here?
This guy needs to watch where he's going.
Ran right into me.
I said everything okay here?
Couldn't be better.
Sure. Great.
Just so you know, I really do appreciate this
and it's an honor.
I can't believe you signed up for the army.
Are you doing this to piss off Dad?
Dad's spent his whole life being pissed off.
This isn't gonna change anything. It's only for a few years.
Sure, followed by a lifetime of
failed relationships, heavy drinking and PTSD.
I've read what happens to soldiers when they come back from combat.
Chances are I won't even see any action.
That's what all the amputees say.
Adam, I heard about MIT. Congratulations.
- Your parents must be proud. - Uh, yeah, my mother is.
I can't wait to go. Should be different than here.
Pretty Lake's not so bad.
Still having a hard time getting used to living in a small town.
Here. Got you something.
- What's this for? - You're a smart guy.
Thought you might wanna expand your horizons
when you get bored of the regular curriculum.
I started my master's on it. It's pretty good.
- Master's? - Mmm-hmm.
How old are you?
Since you started your master's, I mean...
Some kids say you're only 22.
Actually, I'm still 21.
- I gotta go. - Yeah.
Thanks for the book.
You're welcome.
Dinner's ready.
I already ate.
No, you haven't. Just come.
I can't. Everyone's going to Kyle's.
You do realize your water's about to break, right?
It's a pool party. I got my preggo thong. I'm covered.
Is everything a joke to you, Wiley?
Did you know that your face gets kind of weird
when you try to channel your inner mom?
You're an idiot.
Um, can you just finish cleaning up the flowers before you go?
There's two more funerals tomorrow.
What are you looking at?
Dad!
That's funny.
Hello?
Is that your son's car out front?
Who's asking?
He almost hit my brother and me the other day on Highway 23.
He shouldn't be behind the wheel of a car.
Oh, is this the person you were talking about?
Yeah, that's him.
Let's make one thing clear.
Chuck has two witnesses that say you clipped his car
and then drove away.
We expect full payment for the damages.
Then your son is a liar.
I'm going to give you ten seconds to get off my property.
After that, I call the cops.
- Mom! - Dottie!
Mom?
Good girl. Good girl.
Should I call the vet?
No, Granddad. He's just gonna charge us for doing the same thing I'm doing.
Your father's not that close to the bone that he can't afford it.
Yeah, he is.
- Need a hand? - Nope. I'm good, thanks.
Granddad?
Granddad?
Granddad!
There's troubling news coming in from Pretty Lake.
In a population of just over 8,000,
there have been 36 confirmed deaths since Monday.
Though health officials have yet to determine a cause,
they have ruled out that it is contagious.
Minister Miller's office has released a statement
thanking the residents for their calm
and giving every assurance that they are monitoring the situation closely.
It's all there, man.
