:39:00
- It's very nice.
- Well, you wanna see my room?

:39:03
Sure.
:39:06
- Hey.
- Hey.

:39:08
Titembay, this is my friend Andrew.
Andrew, this is my brother, Titembay.

:39:11
- Hi. It's very nice to meet you.
- Oh, it's nice to meet you.

:39:14
- I'm sorry aboutJelly.
- Oh, that's okay.

:39:16
I saved some mac and cheese for you.
It's in the fridge.

:39:19
Thank you.
:39:25
Anyway, I'm late for class.
It's nice meeting you.

:39:28
- Very nice to meet you.
- See you later.

:39:34
So here we are.
:39:36
It's nothing fancy,
but you know... What?

:39:41
Uh, it's... Titembay, right?
:39:43
Yeah, it's weird, huh?
You're, like, so freaked out right now.

:39:46
You're running for the door. It's okay.
You can go. Don't feel bad. It's really...

:39:49
- Stop doing that.
- What?

:39:51
The whole thing you just did. I wanna be here.
If I didn't, I wouldn't be.

:39:55
Trust me, my family is way more
fucked up than yours. Okay?

:39:57
Okay.
:39:59
So, Titembay.
:40:02
- Yeah, he's my brother.
- Is he adopted or...

:40:05
Kind of. My mom adopted him
from Sally Struthers like years ago.

:40:08
One of those "For the cost
of a cup of coffee a day" sort of things.

:40:12
Where she's like, "How can you
just sit there and not help the children?"

:40:16
And we couldn't. We just couldn't sit there
and not help the children.

:40:19
So we start sending him like
pictures and letters and stuff for years...

:40:22
but then I got really into ice-skating,
so we sort of forgot about him.

:40:26
Then one day we get this phone call
and it's Titembay.

:40:29
And he's at the dry cleaners
around the corner.

:40:31
And he's like, "I'm at Rutgers.
I live in the dorms...

:40:34
but I'm used to living with my tribe
so I'd rather live with a family."

:40:37
And he's been living
with us ever since.

:40:40
Wow.
:40:42
Yeah. I know.
He's the most amazing guy.

:40:45
You gotta hear his stories. He struggled
through so much because he wanted to learn.

:40:49
When I think of what
he's accomplished, I just...

:40:51
I just feel,
like, lazy. You know?

:40:53
He's studying criminal justice at Rutgers,
and when he was a baby...

:40:56
he was one of those kids with,
like, the flies all over his face.
