Brandon
[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?
Brandon
I said... [pounds his fist on the table] give it to me!
Tori
[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!
Tori
[whispering]
Brandon, listen to your father.
Kyle
[as Brandon makes a mean face to his mother]
We are leaving. Let's go!
Tori
[Tori and Brandon get up]
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
[whispering]
We're so sorry.
Tori
No. No. Bye.
Merilee
[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?
Merilee
Brandon, do you feel bad about what you did to Caitlyn?
Brandon
[hesitating]
You know, sometimes, when bad things happen to people, it's for a good reason.
Merilee
[Merilee is shocked and Brandon is emotionless]
Brandon, part of my job is to update the school and update your mom on your progress and let them know if you are showing any growth or remorse. And I, I can't take it easy on you because... you're my family. [Brandon remains unmoved] Brandon, I'm giving you an opportunity to talk to me. I'm supposed to update the sheriff tomorrow and I have to be honest with him.
[Brandon breathes heavily in anger]
Merilee
Brandon? Jesus, what're you doing here?
Brandon
I know, it's late. And this is kinda outta the ordinary. But I promise, I won't take long.
Merilee
Okay.
Brandon
Back at the office, you said something about talking to the Sheriff?
Merilee
Mm-hmm.
Brandon
Yeah... the thing is, that can't happen. It's not good for anyone. Not for me, not for my parents, and it's really, really not good for you.
Merilee
Brandon, listen to me. I have to do my job. And to be honest, you showing up here like this is really inappropriate. I'm gonna need you to go home now.
Brandon
Okay. I'll walk back.
Merilee
Okay, sweetie. Be safe.
Brandon
[Smiles]
You, too.
