:23:01
But my parents
divorced years ago.
:23:03
My mother never even
mentions him.
:23:05
It's like he evaporated
into thin air or something.
:23:08
It's scary the way nobody
stays together any more.
:23:11
- Tell me about it.
- How old are you ?
:23:14
- I'll be 12 on October 11.
- [ Coughing, Choking ]
:23:18
- So will l.
- Your birthday's on October 11 ?
:23:21
- Yeah.
- How weird is that ?
:23:23
Extremely.
:23:26
Oh, hey.
It stopped raining.
:23:28
You wanna go get
a Popsicle or something ?
:23:38
- What's the matter ?
- Hallie, what's your mother like ?
:23:42
I never met her. She and my dad split
up when I was a baby, maybe even before.
:23:47
I'm not sure.
He doesn't like to talk about her.
:23:50
But I know she was
really, really beautiful.
:23:53
How do you know that ?
:23:55
Well, because my dad
had this old picture of her
hidden in his sock drawer,
:23:59
and he caught me looking at it,
like, all the time,
so he gave it to me to keep.
:24:03
Look, I'm-I'm really thirsty.
Sure you don't want to go to
the mess hall and get a lemonade ?
:24:07
Will you stop thinking about
your stomach at a time like this ?
:24:10
- At a time like what ?
- Don't you realize what's happening ?
:24:14
I mean,
think about it.
:24:17
I only
have a mother,
:24:18
and you only have
a father.
:24:21
You've never seen
your mom,
:24:23
and I've never
seen my dad.
:24:25
You have one old picture
of your mom,
:24:27
and I have one old picture
of my dad.
:24:30
But at least yours
is probably a whole picture.
:24:32
Mine is a pathetic
little thing,
:24:34
all crinkled and ripped
right down the middle and--
:24:36
What are you rummaging
in your trunk for ?
:24:40
This.
:24:42
It's a picture
of my mom,
:24:44
and it's
ripped too.
:24:46
Right down
the middle ?
:24:49
Right down
the middle.
