Fate of the Night

No, I love your laugh.

My laugh?

Yeah, you got the most adorable laugh.

And your smile.

Well, that's two things.

Okay.

I love your

eyes.

You have really beautiful eyes.

Okay, now's something you don't like.

No, I don't want to do this bit.

Come on, for self-improvement.

All right.

I hate how you make me play stupid games.

Seriously though. I want to be a better boyfriend.

All right.

I sometimes feel like

you don't like me hanging out with your friends.

I thought you didn't like my friends.

No, I do. I want to spend more time with them.

Okay.

Sure. - Okay.

Cool.

All right, your turn.

Did you like your presents this year?

I know I did.

I know you did.

Someone got all the expensive gifts and it wasn't Scott.

Yeah, it was you.

No way.

Not one bit.

Stop! Stop!

Help me! Help!

Stop!

Help!

In bed, Scott.

Were you up all night?

I was just thinking.

About last night?

It had to have been a prank or something.

Kids do shit like that all the time.

Watch your language.

I'm going to get the paper.

God! We were there, we could have helped her.

We could have done something, but that's not our fault.

We didn't maul those people.

Good morning, sweetie.

I wet the bed.

It's okay.

I'll go clean it up.

So, how was your Christmas?

Very nice.

Sean got everything he wanted and so did Scott.

Did Sean like the barbecue?

Yeah, we've had grilled chicken every night.

He's cooked on it this week.

Wish Kenny would use our barbecue.

He bought the damn thing years ago and now he's too lazy

to clean it.

Carol told me Sam bought you a barbecue.

Yeah, I think it's fantastic.

- Is it gas? - Yeah.

It's got the works.

Hey, how's Sean's heart doing?

I heard he was having problems again.

He's in another test hospital at the moment.

He had a surgery a couple years ago

and he might need another surgery down the road.

But if he doesn't overexert himself,

the medication's working fine for now.

Bought myself a drone.

- Nice! - Yeah.

Full proper GoPro camera.

You going to go to Sydney again for New Years this year?

We thought about going but we might stay in this year.

Yes.

Kenny and I are going to the hotel party again.

This year's theme is 1940 swing, so I made him take lessons.

You need to go out.

We already have a sitter.

Scott and the kids can have a sleepover.

You deserve a night out.

Scott has really grown this year.

He'll be in high school before you know it.

Just hope next year will be better for him.

What do you mean?

I feel like I'm not around enough.

Bet I'll turn out to be one of those mothers

who abandons her child.

You're a wonderful mother.

He's truly blessed to have you.

I think that will be my resolution.

I want to spend more time with Scott.

Haven't really thought about mine.

Thought you don't do resolutions.

I don't.

But yours is so good, I'm feeling guilty.

If you're feeling guilty then you're doing it

for the wrong reason.

Resolutions are a private goal that I think need to be

very personal.

You just told me yours.

It's still personal, but I'm proud of it.

That's fair.

Do you want to go back to dinner?

Yeah, we better.

All right, Scott, it's time to go.

Scott, Scott, wake up, it's near new year.

Three, two, one,

Happy New Year.

I think you just lost a bet.

Very funny. There's always next year.

I just won a foot massage.

No, that was not the deal.

Actually, I don't even think it was a real bet.

Verbal agreement, still counts.

No.

Hey.

Looks good.

Can you check the bins and the mail?

Oh yeah, Bin day tomorrow.

Hey, did you have a fun exploring trip?

Yeah.

Find anything cool?

I found a cool stick.

- A cool stick? - Yeah.

That's a successful exploring trip.

You want me to watch it?

Do you want to set the table?

No, I don't.

I want to.

All right, let's set the table.

Your mom and I both have to work late tomorrow

so aunt Carol will pick up from school

and then you'll get to play with your cousins

and probably stay for dinner.

Okay.

I forgot to ask about dinner.

I'm sure it'll be fine.

Do you think she and Kenny were acting a bit

strange last week?

They seem to be bickering quite a lot.

They're fine.

They have a weird marriage, but that's how they always act

in public.

That's true, huh?

I'm sorry, I can only take so much of your sister.

I know how you feel.

She can get quite passionate about certain things.

No kidding.

Help me.

Help me.

Help me.

What's going on?

Turn the light off.

Come in.

Mr. Harris.

Hi.

Take a seat.

I'm pretty concerned about your son.

What is this about?

Scott's been getting into a lot of fights

with the other students, playing particularly rough

in the schoolyard.

Pretending to bite necks and even

clawing at the other students.

This type of violent behavior, it will not be tolerated

in this institution.

He has been corrected several times.

Okay, I'll talk to him tonight.

I don't think you understand the severity

of the situation, Mr. Harris.

We're talking suspension.

The parents of the other students are trying

to press charges.

Look, Scott is a great kid, but this last week

he's been getting into a lot of trouble.

Are things okay at home?

Everything's fine.

I appreciate the concern

and I'll make sure it won't happen again.

Thank you.

Did you tell her?

No.

But dad, why didn't you tell her?

You saw it. We all saw it.

You can't talk about this anymore.

You can't tell anyone, not even your cousins.

It's our secret.

And biting people?

You know better than that.

I better not hear you touching anyone else at school.

I don't care if you're just playing.

You hear me?

What happened?

Fighting?

Okay, sounds great.

I'll see you later tonight.

Do you need help with your homework?

Yeah.
