[Kyle refuses to let Brandon have the rifle Noah gives him for his birthday]
Give it to me!
Kyle I'm sorry, what did you just say to me?
I said... [pounds his fist on the table] give it to me!
[Erica and two other diner patrons notice Brandon making a scene] [whispering]
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!
[whispering]
Brandon, listen to your father.
Kyle [as Brandon makes a mean face to his mother]
We are leaving. Let's go!
[Tori and Brandon get up]
Alright, you guys.
Kyle Let's go!
See you later. [whispering] Okay, sorry.
No, you don't worry about it.
[whispering]
We're so sorry.
[Erica and two other diner patrons continue to stare at the family leaving as Erica makes a smirk]
I love you guys! Baby, I told you.
N Noah
You sure you want kids?
[Brandon is sitting in the waiting room while the adults talk in the principal's office]
Erica, he said he's sorry. It was an accident. They're just kids.
E Erica
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?
E Erica
I want him in handcuffs and I want him gone.
P Principal
We are taking action. He's going to be suspended for two days.
E Erica
Suspended? Do your job. Arrest him!
SD Sheriff Deever
I'm sorry, ma'am. That's not your call.
After the suspension, he will be in regular sessions with our school guidance counselor, Miss Merilee.
E Erica
His aunt. OH JESUS **** CHRIST!
P Principal
Right, now she's the only counselor...
E Erica
You know what, her son was inside my daughter's bedroom last Saturday.
Kyle He wasn't.
Kyle Breyer He was camping with us.
Kyle He was 30 miles from your house, okay Erica.
E Erica
[we hear Erica mumbling as Tori and Brandon look at each other]
Do you even know who his real mother is?
E Erica
I meant whatever inbred psycho gave birth to him.
Kyle Hey!
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 and Kyle leave the office to collect Brandon] [to Erica]
Sorry about your daughter.
[to Brandon]
Get up. Let's go.
[the family leaves with Brandon and Erica menacingly glaring at each other]
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, do you understand? Your uncle Noah passed away. He's gone.
I feel like you want to me to cry or something.
Kyle Brandon, we know you were at aunt Merilee's last night.
[tries to calm Kyle down]
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.
[Kyle loses his patience with Brandon] [continues to eat cereal]
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.
Kyle Look, we know you were there. What else are you lying to us about?
Kyle Were you in Caitlyn's bedroom?
Kyle Where were you Wednesday night when Caitlyn's mom went missing?
Kyle HE'S LYING TO OUR **** FACES!
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.
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 ****...!
[telepathically pushes Kyle to a cupboard full of glass]
LEAVE ME ALONE!
