Well now, should've actually listened, wouldn't be in jail then.

And there won't be any visits either.

Dad! That's not fair, I just wanted to go to the baseball game.

Can't always get what you want. Gotta listen to the rules.

Maybe if you had an actual reason why I couldn't go to the baseball game.

We do and one day, you'll understand.

We aren't the bad guys.

We already live in a town where the most interesting thing to do is watch the grass grow. And now I'm grounded on top of it.

Can I at least have my laptop back?

That you are.

We'll talk about that later when your mom gets home.

I already know the answer; it doesn't matter, never mind. [Rolls her eyes and makes her way to her room.]

Oh come on, Bethany! Don't gotta be like that, [follows her] only doing what's best for you. Your mom and I care bout you and wanna look after you.

Trust me, parents always seem like the bad guys. [Not that Sawyer really remembers that.]

No, I'm pretty sure you hate me.

If I hated you, wouldn't give a damn what you did. [Yea, Sawyer tried not to swear in front of her, but sometimes he just couldn't help himself.]

You don't know what we've grown through for you.

Can I just go...be grounded now?

[sighs] Sure thing, kid.
