The Thinning

Okay, remember what we talked about?

Use the product rule to find the derivative.

I can't do this.

Hey, Corinne, not now.

Yeah, you can, Simon.

I've seen your scratch work.

Just take your time.

Focus on the equation.

Okay, I can't learn this by tomorrow.

I'm totally fried.

Can't you just give 'em to me?

Simon.

Please.

Thanks.

You can't tell anyone about this.

As soon as the test is over, destroy it.

You're lucky, that was my last one.

Don't you need it?

No.

Hello?

Laina, this is Dr. Perkash,

your mother is asking to be discharged from the hospital.

What?

She's not so much asking

as signing herself out of care

against our advice.

I'll be right there.

Just please try to stall her.

Okay, guys, time to go.

Hi, there they are.

This is perfect.

Can you take that to the car for mommy?

Mom, what are you doing?

I am checking out.

You know what, sweetheart,

I left your markers in my room.

Wanna go to mommy's room and go get your markers?

Is mommy coming home?

Yes, I am.

Mom, you need to be here,

they can't treat you at home.

I know.

Laina, can I have a word?

Here, I know it's not all of it,

but I can get more.

Oh, um, no, we're past that.

Her white blood cell count is

not doing her any favors.

And this kind of aggressive depletion

doesn't give us a lot of options.

But she can't come home, right?

She's not gonna get any better there.

I think the best thing

any one can do now

is to just keep her comfortable.

I'm sorry.

Can you help me carry my suitcase?

Uh-huh.

Hey, I'm gonna make a run to the kitchen,

want anything?

No, I'm good Blake, thanks for asking.

You go ahead.

All right, thanks man.

All right.

Oh my.

I honestly think I've done that to you like 19 times.

Yeah, well, that's the last time..

I didn't mean it like that.

I just, I don't want to talk about it.

Ellie, no matter what happens, I'll...

I didn't come here to talk about the test.

Come on, I wanna show you something.

Okay.

Sh! It's a secret.

Come on, Ellie.

Oh my god.

Ellie we shouldn't be doing this.

Calm down.

Live a little.

Ellie, did you bring your bathing suit?

No. (LAUGHS)

Go on.

What's wrong?

I'm scared, Blake.

Hey, we're in this together.

I'll take care of you.

Hey, Blake.

You know, I think I do want something from the kitchen.

I found him at the Bilski's pool.

Bilskis?

You want a Pop-Tart?

No thanks.

Some people like to toast these.

But I never have the patience, you know.

Love 'em.

Did you have fun tonight?

You got anything going on tomorrow?

Oh wait, my god, you have a test.

It's test day tomorrow.

I completely forgot myself,

it's so easy to forget something like that, isn't it?

I get it.

Hey, sorry.

Look, there's nothing wrong with having a little fun

every once in a while,

but you gotta pick your moments.

The night before a life altering test

it's not the moment.

Got it.

Solid lecture.

Almost done.

Now, I know that you don't really care

what I think about this girl.

Ellie.

Ellie, but she's a distraction.

Now you have tomorrow,

and next year.

And after that you have

the whole rest of your life to be distracted.

Don't eff it up.

You sure you don't want a Pop-Tart?

Good night, Dad.

Hey... come here.

No, no, no.

No!

Move along.

Shit!

Hey, Lana, right?

Yeah, Laina.

- Laina. - It's cool.

Sorry, um.

This is kind of an awkward question.

I was hoping that I could buy one of your study guides?

I can't.

What do you mean I can't.

I just gave the last one away.

Shit.

Hey Laina, wait up.

So, you and Blake Renning, huh?

No, not really.

He didn't even know my name.

He didn't know your name?

But we've been in school with him since first grade

and there's less and less kids each year.

I know, it's pretty tragic.

Geez, well, it's almost as tragic

as being in love with your best friend

who's in love with the guy that doesn't even know her name.

But that's just something I saw in a movie once.

Not today, Kellan.

Yeah, you're right,

tomorrow's actually better for me anyway.

No laptops, computer devices.

Hey, what the...

Get back here.

All units converse at the south gate.

We got a runner.

Get that kid.

Heading your way, now.

Whoa, I've never seen a kid

make it past the guards before.

Kellan.

Are you hacking into your dad's account again?

Uh, yeah.

Bring him down.

You're surrounded.

Move in.

Come up now, on him.

Move in, boys.

So you're going to send

the stolen security footage to the news?

You ever heard of Wendy Banks?

No.

Well, she's a very prominent news reporter in Austin

and I have her direct, personal,

general inquiries email address,

so I'm sending her hot tips

all the time.

Does she ever reply?

Whoa, I think I have more than enough questions

to answer today, thank you, very much.

You're gonna be okay, okay?

You can do this, yeah?

Commence lock down sequence.

Yes sir.

Warning, lock down is now in progress.

30 seconds 'til lock down.

Testing to begin in 15 minutes.

Good morning, everyone.

I hope you all had a good night sleep.

I just want you to know
