00:00We can talk later. Just get out of here.
00:14Not later, now!
00:16Talk to me!
00:17Okay, out.
00:18Eleanor, I'm sorry, okay?
00:20You too, Eleanor.
00:26Is it really necessary to employ a nanny at this point?
00:29I'm 13 years of age.
00:31I'm interviewing girls tomorrow.
00:32I'll do it in the library.
00:33Make sure everyone takes off their shoes.
00:38Eleanor Logan.
00:39Well then, basically you get him to and from school and make sure he eats.
00:43That's it.
00:44Anything else you need, Issa will help you.
00:46Issa?
00:47Yes, Mom.
00:48Christ.
00:49I talked to the mother for like 10 minutes before she hires me to take care of her 12-year-old son.
00:53Next thing I know, I'm living there.
00:55I'm Eleanor.
00:59Reggie.
01:02Fine.
01:03Let's go to the park.
01:04I got that stinking park every stinking day.
01:07Then let's go to a different stinking park.
01:09This isn't gonna happen.
01:11You get to go to camp.
01:13Never mind the canoeing, the obstacle courses, the campfires, the adolescent camaraderie.
01:18Adolescent camaraderie is good.
01:20You're an adolescent.
01:21No one cares.
01:22No one cares where I am.
01:23It's so weird, Reggie.
01:24Yes, well, this is my life.
01:25Welcome to the weirdness.
01:26I'm just trying to navigate a course towards safety and sanity, best way I know how.
01:33Wow.
01:34I forgot how bad Bully's cooking is.
01:35I'm gonna sneak out of here.
01:36Let's go get some Chinese.
01:37Do you know anything about Modigliani?
01:38No.
01:39I'll bet I'm about to.
01:40He died in penury and squalor in 1920 at the age of 35.
01:45What's penury?
01:46Extreme poverty.
01:47Hmm.
01:48As you can tell, I'm alert, extroverted, affable, and articulate.
01:52Of course.
01:53I'm not to mention devilishly handsome.
01:54Not to mention...
01:55Is everything okay?
01:56My dad's in the hospital.
01:57I think I need to go home for a while.
02:06I don't know.
02:11Hi.
02:12What's up?
02:13No, I don't know.
02:15You want to work?
02:16No.
02:17I'll bet I'm about to.
02:18I think I need to go home for a while.
02:22I've ended this relationship.
02:24Oh, so you're just going to be like that?
02:25Go inside.
02:36And you're too young to understand.
02:38I have a great deal of understanding.
02:39God, well beyond my years.
02:48God, well beyond my years.
