Sketch (ஸ்கெட்ச்)

I mean she only drew a picture, right?

She didn't actually hurt anyone.

She didn't hurt anyone. No.

But Ms. Thompson was concerned when she saw it.

Okay.

I mean, come on. How bad can it be?

You know?

Mm. Wow. All right.

We felt a phone call wouldn't convey the...

Blood?

Well, the seriousness.

That's a lot of blood.

Mm-hmm.

Well, I mean, this down here could be grass.

The grass is coming out of the boy's head.

Oh, yeah, it is.

She also labeled it.

Oh, she did. She sure did.

That's helpful.

This boy in the picture,

is he based on a real person?

Bowman.

Seems like you have a lot of strong feelings

about Bowman.

You know, feelings aren't bad.

You can't really control

how someone makes you feel.

Inbox.

What?

My Dad says that you can't control your inbox,

but you can control your outbox.

I love that.

What kind of stuff have you had in your inbox lately?

It can fill up really quickly sometimes.

And when it does, it's easy to lose control of your outbox

and react to others in negative ways.

Can you think of any--

Pulling out their eyeballs.

Okay.

Feeding them to, like, millions of bugs.

You're right. Those would be very--

Pushing them off of a plane with a parachute,

but when they pull the cord instead of a parachute,

it's just poisonous snakes.

Okay, pause.

I have a question for you, Amber.

And you can be totally honest with me.

Okay.

Did you actually want something bad to happen to Bowman?

Then it sounds like you did the right thing to me.

I think drawing this was a much healthier choice

than pulling out his eyeballs.

What do you say?

You know what you could have done

that would have been a lot worse?

If I took a machete and--

I'll show you.

Right here.

What do you see?

Nothing.

You could have let that anger sit inside of you,

growing bigger, stronger, and scarier, but you didn't.

You put it right here.

Where it can't hurt anyone.

I apologize. I usually have ones that are less cat-centric.

This is your new outbox.

You told her about that?

When you get angry, sad, or scared,

you know, all that stuff that goes in your inbox,

put it in here,

and you don't have to let anyone see it.

But I would encourage you, when you're ready,

to share it with someone,

preferably your Dad, and talk about it.

Okay?

Do you have a pen?

Ah!!

What?

It's a serving plate.

Why do you need a serving plate?

Pizza comes in a serving plate.

No, it's nicer when it's on a plate.

The special plate is for one person on special days.

This dilutes the special plate.

Okay, you never used the word dilute in your life.

I know words.

Who taught you words?

Are they gonna knock out all of our walls

to open up more space?

What?

On House Hunters, they're always like,

"I totally knocked out this wall and opened up the space."

When are you watching House Hunters?

I mean, I sort of do, but only like certain ones--

What are we called if we still have one parent?

What?

Are we orphans?

No, no.

I think we're...bastards?

Wow, no.

You have a Dad. I'm alive.

Then what are we?

You're just--you're kids. Just regular kids.

Am I a bastard?

Come on.

It didn't understand.

What do you call an orphan that still has a dad?

A child whose mother has died, but whose father is alive,

is called a maternal orphan.

Okay, good. We're learning lessons.

That's beautiful. Thank you.

A morphan.

Yeah.

It's morphan time.

Stop.

Single dad.

- Stop. - Pizza sad.

- Hey Jack, come on. - I said stop!

Why'd you do that?

No, no, no. Leave her alone.

Leave her alone, Jack. Leave her alone.

No, don't throw it away.

No, it's broken, man.

Well, we can fix it.

No, we can't fix it.

Yes, we can. I can.

No, you can't, man.

Whatever.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Yeah, I know.

Outbox.

I wasn't even gonna say outbox.

Dad!

Yeah?

Jack drew a butt on my face.

Hey sweetheart, I can't right now. Can you talk to Mom?

Mom!

Yeah?

Jack said he was gonna draw a mask,

but he just drew a butt.

Come here.

How are we going to fix it?

Don't worry. I have an idea.

What are you drawing?

It won't be a butt, I promise.

Why does Jack always draw butts?

Because butts are awesome.

There we go.

Now we match.

I can still see the butt.

Wait!

What the--

There's other seats.

Dad!

Yeah?

I left my notebook in my room.

Oh--

Hey, sweetheart, let's just leave it home for today,

okay?

You will-- You'll be okay. You really will.

Promise you won't look at it.

I will not look at it.

I-- I promise.

Give her your covenant.

What?

Give her your covenant.

- Wha-- - Give me your covenant.

I got-- What are we, a cult?

Yo! We good?

I-- I give you my covenant.

Now forge a blood oath.

Go to school. Thank you!

Covenant?

Amber.

Amber.

Amber!

What?

No, thanks.

I won't tell anyone.

No.

It's okay.

No!

Amber, stop being a jerk. Just take the notebook.

What the--

That had my homework in it.

Jack, sit down. Grab a seat.

She threw my notebook out the window.

I didn't see it. Sit down.

I saw it.

Both of you in a seat now.

I was never standing.

Sorry for trying to help.

Oh.

Do you have a trimmer?

Oh my gosh!

Sorry. I should have knocked.

Do you have a trimmer?

There's a spot out in the front that I need to fix up.

Yeah, I'll get you one.

And not to be shrill about it,
