:57:00
- Life isn't always so easy.
- Or fair.

:57:03
Oh, it's certainly not fair.
:57:05
Hey, you guys want to go get,
:57:07
uh, some pizza
or a hot dog or somethin'?

:57:10
- You want to take us for pizza?
- Yeah, it's 9:00. Aren't you hungry?

:57:13
It's not that.
It would be like...

:57:16
rewarding us
for bad behavior.

:57:19
- But if you really want to.
- No, Joe.

:57:21
It wouldn't be right
to take advantage of Ben like that.

:57:24
No pizza for us.
:57:26
Okay.
:57:37
Ice cream?
:57:41
So, now I don't know
if I'll ever find out who my father is.

:57:46
Maybe she figured
you weren't ready for the truth.

:57:51
Ben?
:57:55
Do you know the truth?
:57:57
No. I guess your mom was just
gonna tell me when she was ready.

:58:05
But if you did know,
would you tell me?

:58:11
Yeah.
:58:13
Yes, I would.
:58:15
Ben?
:58:18
Did Miss Wenteworth
ever talk about me?

:58:21
All the time, Simon.
:58:23
Everybody talks about you.
:58:25
That's how we keep
from gettin' bored.

:58:27
- Did she tell you about my destiny?
- Simon!

:58:30
What do you mean?
:58:32
- I'm going to be a hero.
- You are?

:58:34
Pretty vague job description,
isn't it?

:58:37
- How you gonna do that?
- I don't know.

:58:41
I keep waiting for God
to show me a sign.

:58:43
Like the burning bush
in the Ten Commandments.

:58:48
But I guess he doesn't go in
for that kind of thing anymore.

:58:51
Well, uh, you know,
you got to be a little patient.

:58:54
I have been patient,
but I'm running out of time.

:58:58
Simon, you're
12 years old!
