Mrs. Wilson.
:08:10
Hi. Come on in.
Have a seat.

:08:13
- Uh, where-- where's Mike ?
- He's in the infirmary.

:08:17
Now, it's nothing to get
worked up about. He's fine.

:08:20
He's got a few, um--
Sit down.

:08:22
He's got a few,
uh, nicks and bruises.

:08:25
I think he might have a-- have
a pretty good black eye by tomorrow.

:08:29
But he's, uh--
he's okay.

:08:31
- He was in another fight ?
- Yes, he was.

:08:36
His grades are, uh-- are getting
worse too. How's he doing at home ?

:08:40
Um, not much better.
He's real distant.

:08:45
Mm-hmm.
Well, Mrs. Wilson,

:08:48
I don't pretend to be
a psychologist, but, um,

:08:50
it's obvious to me that your boy's
got a lot of anger in him.

:08:57
Well, um, it's about this time
last year his daddy passed away.

:09:03
He's still real
messed up over it.

:09:05
Yeah. I never knew your husband.
I understand he was a fine man.

:09:09
Yes, he was.
:09:14
Well, I don't know how you
feel about therapy, but, uh--

:09:17
If you think Mike needs somebody to
talk to, I know a gentleman over--

:09:20
Mike doesn't need a therapist,
Mr. Collins. He can talk to me.

:09:27
Do you think he will, though ?
:09:29
I'm sorry, Wayne. I didn't know
you had anybody in here.

:09:33
- Oh, hi. Um--
- Ruby wasn't at her desk.

:09:36
Yeah, she's out sick today. Uh,
Mrs. Wilson, this is Jessica King,

:09:39
- my fiancee.
- Nice to meet you.

:09:41
You too.
:09:44
We're just going to be
a couple of minutes. Okay.

:09:47
Uh, I gotta go anyway.
I got people waiting.

:09:51
Thanks a lot,
Mr. Collins.

:09:53
- I'm real sorry about all this.
- Oh, it's my job.

:09:58
He's just a boy,
that's all.
