00:08Hello?
00:09Mrs. Park, this is Oakwood Elementary.
00:12Your son Leo was involved in an altercation.
00:15How bad?
00:16He lost.
00:19I'll be right there.
00:42Before you say anything, I'm fine.
00:44I heard you lost. To a girl?
00:46She fights dirty.
00:48Dirty how?
00:49She pulled my hair, and she bit me. Who bites?
00:56That's a solid bite.
00:58Mom!
00:59So what did you do?
01:01Nothing. Dad always said real men don't hit girls.
01:04Dad said that?
01:06Yeah. In my head.
01:07Which is the only place he exists, apparently.
01:14Let's go meet the girl's parent.
01:16Her guardian. She lives with her uncle.
01:18Her parents are scientists or something.
01:20She told me while she was sitting on my chest.
01:22If her uncle's huge, you handle it.
01:25You started the fight.
01:26She called me a short nobody.
01:28I'm not short.
01:36You look nervous.
01:39I'm not nervous.
01:40Your ears are red.
01:42They always get red when you lie.
02:08Mom.
02:09Do you know him?
02:16Uncle Ethan, that's him.
02:17The boy who said my hair looks like a squirrel tail.
02:20It's fluffy and it bounces when you turn.
02:23That is a squirrel tail.
02:25So you do think about my hair.
02:27That's not...
02:29I don't...
02:30Shut up!
02:32Your son?
02:34Yes.
02:38Mr. Sterling, Mrs. Park, please have a seat.
02:41This is not as serious as it sounds.
02:47The school is launching a buddy program.
02:50Pairing students who have disagreements.
02:52No!
02:52They'll complete tasks together for one month.
02:54I like people fine.
02:56Just not heat.
02:56Feelings mutual, squirrel tail.
02:58Leo.
02:59I mean...
03:00I look forward to cooperating with the young lady.
03:05Your son has...
03:07personality.
03:09Runs in the family.
03:11So, we're agreed?
03:13The buddy program starts tomorrow.
03:21You picked a great time to show up.
03:23With a kid.
03:24I'm four.
03:25My birthday's in March.
03:26What else do you want to know?
03:28Nothing.
03:29We're done here.
03:30Mom, that guy hates you.
03:31I know.
03:50He still hates me.
03:51What he doesn't know is this.
03:53The woman he resents has been raising his son all along.
03:59First task.
04:00Draw something together.
04:02One drawing.
04:03Two people.
04:05I'm the artist.
04:06You color the sky or something.
04:07The sky is already blue.
04:09You don't color blue on blue.
04:11Fine.
04:11Purple sky.
04:12The sky is not purple.
04:13It is in my drawing.
04:18Done.
04:20That's her.
04:21Then this one with the giant ears is you.
04:24Those are not ears.
04:26Those are wings.
04:27Sure they are.
04:37Picking him up early?
04:38I had time.
04:40Me too.
04:41That's not art.
04:44She's very strong-willed.
04:45She bit your son on day one.
04:47Strong-willed is generous.
04:51What?
04:52Nothing.
04:58He threw my sandwich in the fish tank!
05:02She threw my sandwich first.
05:04Then I threw hers.
05:05Then we both slipped.
05:06Then the fish tank tipped over.
05:08It was a group effort.
05:10Your son has your logic.
05:12He gets the good parts from me.
05:23You're gonna erase my face.
05:41You're gonna erase my face.
05:43Good.
05:51The fish tank.
05:52Mom, that guy?
05:53He talks like a robot.
05:54If a robot had really nice shoes.
06:11Miss Sophia, remember, we don't associate with just anyone.
06:23Mum, we made a volcano! It exploded! The teacher said it was the best disaster she'd ever seen!
06:28A disaster, that track.
06:30Sophia wanted purple lava. I said lava is red, so we mixed both and it turned brown and it shot
06:35out onto the ceiling. It's still there.
06:37Who was that lady?
06:38Sophia's butler or something. She's scary. She looks at people like she's reading their price tag.
06:44Yeah, I noticed.
06:59Bad news?
07:00Just bills.
07:02The scary lady said something to Sophia about us. I didn't hear all of it, but Sophia looked not like
07:08herself.
07:09She called me the boy without a father. I don't know if she made it up or if someone told
07:13her that.
07:14I know. I have a dad. He just lives in my head. Like I said.
07:19You know you're the best thing that ever happened to me, right?
07:22Mom, gross!
07:26Liko said this one is me. And I said this big-eared one is Liko.
07:34Miss Sophia, remember, we don't associate with just anyone.
07:39The teacher said it was the best disaster she'd ever seen!
07:48Mrs. T says bad. I don't know.
08:01You're doing it wrong. The hole is too shallow.
08:03It's art. Trees are art.
08:05Trees are biology, not art.
08:08Trees are whatever I say they are. My uncle says confidence is half the battle.
08:12Your uncle's probably never planted a tree.
08:30Mrs. Thornton says that's why your thirst is so wild.
08:33Because you don't have anyone to teach you how to act.
08:38At least my mom teaches me things. Your parents aren't even here.
08:42You said they're scientists. You said they're always gone.
08:44So who doesn't have anyone?
08:52I didn't mean it like that.
08:57My dad's not here either. So technically we're even.
09:02Where is he?
09:06Don't know. Mom never says.
09:08But I made up a whole dad in my head.
09:10He's tall. He has my eyes.
09:12He says things like, real men don't hit girls.
09:16Don't tell anyone I cried.
09:17You didn't cry.
09:18You have a location he's had allergies.
09:25Miss Sophia, you came back with dirt on your dress.
09:31I saw you under the tree with that boy.
09:45You wrote this?
09:48Yes.
09:49Miss Sophia, I've been with your family since before you could walk.
09:53I know what's best for you.
09:54That one woman and her son, they are not your friends.
09:57They want things from this house, from your uncle, from you.
10:00She didn't take anything.
10:03Not yet.
10:04She's a good one.
10:05I know what.
10:07I know.
