Whatever you've done, I know there is good inside you!
Brandon
Mom, who am I?
Tori
You are a gift. I know it's been difficult for you lately, that you feel different from other kids. You are different. After your dad and I got married, we prayed for a baby for so long. One night, someone listened.
Brandon
Give it to me!
Kyle
I'm sorry, what did you just say to me?
Brandon
I said... [pounds his fist on the table] give it to me!
Tori
Brandon!
Kyle
Okay, we are done here. We are not having that scream. Thank you so much. Brandon, let's go. Brandon, come on, let's go. [Kyle grabs onto Brandon and refuses to get up] Brandon? Up now!
Tori
Brandon, listen to your father.
Kyle
We are leaving. Let's go!
Tori
Alright, you guys.
Merilee
I love you!
Tori
So fun!
Kyle
Let's go!
Tori
Thank you so much.
Merilee
See you later. [whispering] Okay, sorry.
Tori
No, you don't worry about it.
Merilee
We're so sorry.
Tori
No. No. Bye.
Merilee
I love you guys! Baby, I told you.
You sure you want kids?
Tori
Erica, he said he's sorry. It was an accident. They're just kids.
Did you see my daughter's hand? He's a goddamn animal is what he is.
Kyle
Okay, can we just calm down here Erica, please?
I want him in handcuffs and I want him gone.
We are taking action. He's going to be suspended for two days.
Suspended? Do your job. Arrest him!
I'm sorry, ma'am. That's not your call.
Tori Breyer
After the suspension, he will be in regular sessions with our school guidance counselor, Miss Merilee.
His aunt. OH JESUS **** CHRIST!
Right, now she's the only counselor...
You know what, her son was inside my daughter's bedroom last Saturday.
Kyle
He wasn't.
He's a pervert.
Kyle Breyer
He was camping with us.
He's sick!
Kyle
He was 30 miles from your house, okay Erica.
Do you even know who his real mother is?
Tori
I'm his real mother!
I meant whatever inbred psycho gave birth to him.
Kyle
Hey!
Tori
I know exactly what you meant. You're trash-talking a 12-year-old child lest you sleep better at night, Erica. Maybe you're the one who needs help.
Tori Breyer
Sorry about your daughter.
Tori Breyer
Get up. Let's go.
[the family leaves with Brandon and Erica menacingly glaring at each other]
Tori
Morning, baby. [Brandon nods] Um, listen there's something that we need to discuss with you and it's probably going to be hard to hear. Last night, your uncle Noah... [hesitates to Kyle]
Kyle
He died last night.
Brandon
Okay.
Tori
Brandon, do you understand? Your uncle Noah passed away. He's gone.
Brandon
I feel like you want to me to cry or something.
Tori
Do you want to cry?
Kyle
Brandon, we know you were at aunt Merilee's last night.
Tori
Honey, I'm your mom. I will always defend you. But if you know something about what happened to Noah, you need to tell us.
Brandon
I don't know what happened to him. But I would never hurt uncle Noah. I love him.
Kyle
That is bullshit. He is **** lying.
Tori
Kyle.
Kyle
Look, we know you were there. What else are you lying to us about?
Tori
Can you calm down?
Kyle
Were you in Caitlyn's bedroom?
Tori
He was camping with us.
Kyle
Where were you Wednesday night when Caitlyn's mom went missing?
Tori
This is not helping!
Kyle
HE'S LYING TO OUR **** FACES!
Brandon
I'm gonna go upstairs.
Kyle
You're wh... You're... no you're not. [grabs onto Brandon's arm] You're not going anywhere until we get all this on the table right now.
Tori
Kyle, I will handle this!
Kyle
No, no, no! Did you hurt Noah?! What did you do to him?! [grabs onto Brandon] HE WAS MY FRIEND AND YOU JUST ****...!
Brandon
LEAVE ME ALONE!
Kyle
Maybe there is something wrong with Brandon. He may look like us. He's not like us!
Tori
I will never turn against our son.
Kyle
He's not our son!
Tori
Kyle, I'm sorry, you were right. Baby, you were right. He killed Noah. Brandon. Brandon- he killed Noah. Kyle?
Brandon
Mom.
Tori
Where's Dad?
Brandon
He's gone.
Tori
Gone where?
Brandon
You know.
Tori
No. No, I don't. I don't know where. Where are you?
Brandon
I'm home, Mom.
