Slept here last night?
Yeah.
What are you writing?
A letter to Sean's ex-wife.
Oof. How come?
Ask Carl.
Carl, why is Fiona writing a letter to Sean's ex-wife?
I don't want to talk about it.
Okay, great. I'll just stand here and drink my coffee in silence.
Where are you going?
To the commune with Queenie.
Except you're not, 'cause you have school, remember?
I need a supportive environment. Not gonna get it here.
So that's it for high school, huh? Pregnant dropout at 15. Well played.
Don't pretend you care.
You got to graduate, Debs.
Have you heard of "unschooling"? It's a widely recognized form of education.
By who?
Queenie says it's when you get knowledge from life instead of books. Like making spaghetti, when you measure water, pasta, salt. That's math.
No, that's pathetic.
If I'm desperate, I can just get my GED. You know, like you did.
Queenie, are you going to support Debbie as she "unschools" her way through life?
Ignore her.
Well, I have so many friends in the commune who have never had a day of conventional education, and they have so much worldly wisdom.
Like boiling pasta.
You want to quit school, Debs, I can't stop you. Enjoy yourself at... what is it?
Soaring Consciousness Ecovillage. A hundred acres, very peaceful. Oh, and if you see Lip, tell him never to stifle his passion. Ta-ta.
What's this?
Hey, Frankie, baby. We're off to the commune.
What?
Chuckie's probation papers came yesterday. Grandma is a rolling stone.
That's a great idea. Lying under the stars in a rural paradise. Fresh air, crackling fire. Jeez, that sounds nice. Are we taking the van? [Gets in]
Don't you need to pack?
No, no. I'm good.
Okay.
