I'm- I'm sorry if I overstepped anything.
No! No, you didn't.
Okay. I mean, I... I like you so much. Not just you, everything that comes with you. Your family, your boys. And, I hope it's not wishful thinking, but... I kinda feel like I'm breaking through with them. I mean, not so much Jonathan, he's a tough cookie to crack, but...
Yeah.
With Will, like... I dunno, I feel like we're... connecting.
[Smiles] He likes you, too.
[Grins] Yeah?
Mm-Hmm. I can tell.
Good. Oh, there was... something else I was gonna mention. It's not a big deal at all, but... I just noticed this morning that my JVC was a little dinged up.
Your- your what?
The video camera.
Oh!
Yeah. It still works fine and everything, I just... I went back and watched the tape, and... there were some older kids picking on Will.
What?
[Nods] They scared him.
[Angrily] Who were they? Were they the Zimmerman brothers again?
Um, I don't know. They were wearing masks or sorta makeup, and... maybe. They were the right age.
I'll kill them. I swear to God, I will... I will kill them.
[Smiles] That's what I love about you: you punch back. I was never really one to put up a fight. I struggled a lot, like Will, when I was a kid. With bullies. [Sighs] It's the ones like us, that don't punch back, that people really take advantage of, you know? They rub your nose it it just a little bit more. I don't know why they do that. Maybe it makes 'em feel... powerful. I don't know. But, hey! Look at me now: I get to date Joyce Byers. Ha! [Joyce laughs] Are you kidding me? I get to date... see, it all works out in the end, doesn't it?
Yes, it does.
