01x04 - Boundaries

[bunniefuu]

- (emotional music)

What are you doing in here?

- Um, just,

looking for this game cartridge.

- I swear if you touched any of my stuff --

- Why would I touch any of your stuff?

- For the same reason you came in my room.

You're a dorky little snoop.

- Reality check, a week ago this was my game room.

I never even heard of you, so you're in my space.

Not the other way around.

- I had no choice.

I was blackmailed into moving into this dump.

- Dump?

- My parents took you a stranger in,

and put a roof over your head, you should be grateful.

- How grateful can I be?

You're here!

Hey, jerk.

(suspenseful music)

Never come in here again.

- I won't.

- Five days down and about a million more to go.

Sure, they put a roof over my head,

but then again, so does a prison.

And at least there you get out with good behavior.

(horse whining)

- Bandit!

- [Caitlin] Hey, boy.

(horse neigh)

Are you okay?

Does your neck hurt, is that it?

It's gonna heal, it'll just take some time.

You don't like it here, do you?

You wanna get out too?

Well, I need you here, bandit.

Just give it another day, okay?

(Horse neighing)

For me.

(Horse neighing)

- Hey there.

- Where am I?

- You're okay, you're in the barn.

- Where's bandit?

- [Dori] Right here.

Do you think he was gonna run off?

- Well, he was really restless last night.

He was walking around in circles and stomping,

and I thought he was going to break out.

- Well, it's a big change for a horse like him.

He's gonna test his boundaries no matter where he is.

- Yeah, tell me about it.

- [Dad Hey, what do you say after breakfast

we go for a nice drive?

Caitlin, it's a beautiful country.

I bet a city girl like you would really appreciate it.

- Like no offense, but I don't really do the group thing.

I'll just hang out here.

- I have plans.

- Oh honey, maybe next week.

- Newsflash, when we want something in this family, we ask.

- Oh, may I have the last pancake.

- Of course, Caitlin, help herself.

- She's not the only one at the table.

- I have seniority.

- I'm the guest.

- Guests are people who are planning to leave.

- Griffin, Caitlin, enough.

(Griffin laughing)

- You could have split it.

- Oh, well.

- Juvie hall is looking better all the time.

- Very funny.

- I thought so.

- Spit it out.

(Horse neighing)

- Do you think it's normal for them to be squabbling,

so much?

- It's expected.

You were an only child.

Trust me, my sister and I used to fight like crazy.

- Used to?

You still can't spend more than five minutes in the same

room without arguing.

Politics, religion,

- Oh, she's such a know it all.

- You push her buttons.

Cause she's such a know at all.

Look, they can only argue for so long,

sooner or later they'll learn to work out their differences.

- And what if they don't?

- We'll stage a wrestling grudge match.

Winner gets to stay.

- [Griff] I heard that.

- Just kidding, Griff.

- Don't quit your day job.

Hey mom, have you seen my green shirt?

I want to wear it tomorrow,

but I can't find it.

Well, I see it.

Put that together with my new sneakers.

Totally awesome fashion statement.

- I hope so because I'm at a totally awesome credit card

statement.

- No Griffin, I haven't seen it.

Have you checked the laundry?

- Laundry?

I saw her there earlier.

- [Griff] Oh, man.

I don't believe it. You ruined my shirt.

- I thought it was a rag.

- Then you should have asked.

This was my favorite shirt.

- Well then you'll be happy to know that it's now,

my favorite rag.

- [Mom] Hey, Hey Caitlin.

- [Dad] Do you mind telling us what's going on?

- Took this without asking.

- Caitlin. I know he didn't mean to,

but still in this house we ask before we take things.

- [Dad You wouldn't want Griffin,

messing with your stuff without

asking. Would you?

- It's funny. You should mention that.

No.

- [Dad] Right.

Maybe the way to get through to you too is if I make you do

something together.

- [Mom] Like make dinner, tomorrow.

- [Mom You get at it right after School.

Griffin, I'm putting you in charge and Caitlin,

you're going to help out.

- [Mom] You got it?

- Yeah.

- [Mom You?

- Okay.

Okay, I have one thing to ask

and then we can go back to ignoring

each other for the rest of our lives.

What?

- Why didn't you say anything to my mom and dad,

about me going through your room?

- The way I figure it.

What goes on between you and me is between you and me.

- All right. Cool.

- [Friend] Hey grip, man.

- Hey Brettster.

- How you doing?

- Good.

- Someone got new sneakers.

Look like they need to be marked up a little bit, man.

- Hey, cut it out, man. You're going to ruin them.

- Nobody wears them that way.

- I do. Stop it.

- Hey! He said knock it off.

You got it?

- Loud and clear.

- What is your problem?

- What?

- He was kidding.

- [Friend] Griff, I'll talk to you later.

Maybe when your cousin's not around.

- You know when most kids come to a new school,

they try and fit in, but not you,

that would just be way too normal.

- Easy does it.

We gotta get you a blacksmith and get you some shoes.

Easy!

- [Teacher] Mark Twain was born in 1835,

and all the critics agree that

if he were alive today, he would be very, very old

Caitlin.

- Yeah, what?

- We're discussing the adventures of Huck Finn,

would you care to join us?

- I was paying attention.

- Good.

Well then you should be able to tell us what symbolism Twain

intended in the image of the river.

- Sure. Okay.

- Twain used the river to represent life's journey.

- Wait, wait, what I was going to say was,

- [Griff] Of how sometimes it can be calm and peaceful,

other times fast and dangerous.

- Excellent. Griffin. Sagacious, sapient, and insightful.

- What is your problem?

- I was just trying to help you.

- By embarrassing me in front of the entire class.

- You know what, I don't even want to listen to you,

right now.

You're not supposed to be in here.

- Oh yeah. Like that means a lot coming from a guy.

I caught going through my drawers.

- Whoa!

Co-ed bathrooms.

- I got to start listening to morning announcements.

- Yeah. You know, you know what bugs me the most,

the fact that you didn't think I knew the answer. Did you?

- No, I thought you were choking on your words,

for dramatic effect.

- Twain was trying to symbolize renewal,

like the way the water gave Jim a new life in search for

freedom.

- Lucky guess.

No, I read the book.

And here's a use for water,

I don't think Twain ever intended.

- Whoa,

watch out, Griff.

- You wouldn't dare.

- Try me.

- In my classroom.

Both of you.

Now

- Nine years, nine years in the educational system.

And not one single detention.

You show up a week later, I'm doing time.

- You know what?

- I've got three words for you.

- Boo, Hoo, Hoo.

- [Teacher] And how are my nefarious miscreants?

- I have a problem, sir.

I know you said an hour detention,

but if we stay here that long, we're going to miss our bus.

- Well, you should've thought of that before,

Getting involved in your little imbroglio, quarrel, fight.

- You don't understand, we're already grounded.

Now I know my mom seems like a nice lady, but believe me,

you do not want to break curfew on her.

Mr. Watson, it's not even Griffin's fault. It's mine.

Just let him go catch the bus and I'll do the rest of his

time and mine.

- Why am I not surprised by this?

I have a feeling. This is going to be a regular occurrence.

All right. Get out of here.

You got two minutes before your bus leaves.

Caitlin, you can finish the detention tomorrow.

Now get going. Chop. Chop.

- [Griff] I can't figure you out.

- [Caitlin] Yeah, well don't even try

because you don't have a clue what I've been through.

- You know, you're not the only kid in the world,

whose had bad stuff happen to them.

Maybe she just get over feeling sorry for yourself.

- Don't you dare tell me how to feel.

You have no idea what I've been through and how I've lived.

Your biggest concern is whether or not you're going to catch

some stupid bus home.

Some nights, I didn't even know where home was.

So don't you ever tell me how I should feel again.

- The bus! Come on.

Hey! Stop, wait!

Great.

- We'll just catch the next one.

You're not in the city, Caitlin. There is no next bus.

- We'll call Dory. I'm sure she'll come pick us up

- We're grounded, remember?

Calling her on her rounds to tell her we miss a bus

because we had detention.

That's going to go over real big.

- I suppose a taxis out of the question.

- [Mom] He was going stir crazy in the barn.

Just wanting to run.

So either he's lost or.

- Or he's looking for his herd

He's a wild stallion.

If he wants to join them again, we can't stop him.

- I know, but he's everything to Caitlin.

Right now, Bandit is she's got.

She loses him.

I don't know what she do.

- Alright. Let's keep looking.

- Okay,

Where is our house again?

- Our house, which used to be my house is that way.

- Well, why don't we just cut across the field?

It will be quicker.

- Do you see that sign?

It says no trespassing.

Now, I don't know what that means on whatever planet,

you're from.

But around here it means no trespassing.

- Unless it's on my front door.

In which case it means come on in, Snoop.

- Are you ever going to let that go?

- Look, I'm cutting across.

You're welcome to join me. If you like.

- No way. I'm not going with you.

Go by yourself.

- Fine.

But you're the one responsible for getting dinner made on

time. Not me.

- I can be flexible, but just this once.

- See this isn't so bad.

No police, no helicopter swooping down on us.

Just you, me, and a couple of cows.

- And there are leftovers.

- Hey cool, a cow with a nose ring.

Finally, someone with a little style.

- Hate to break it to you,

but cows don't wear nose rings.

Only bulls do.

Oh, no.

Run!

- I am, I am.

- (Horse neighing)

- When they say no trespassing, they mean no trespassing.

- One day. They lasted one day.

Could you walk downwind? You stink.

- Thank you for reminding me again,

- [Mr. Peterson] Griff, you need a lift home?

- Hey you bet, Mr. Peterson, your timing's the best.

- Whoa. Hey, hop in the back son.

- No way.

I'm not getting the back with that smelly thing or the pig.

- Get in the truck now.

- No, you're not my boss.

- Right? Caitlin doesn't have a boss.

And for the last five days you've made that perfectly clear.

You hang alone.

Look, I don't want to look out for you,

but when you live with someone, it comes with the territory.

At least I'm guessing.

- Come on. I can't wait all day.

- You coming or not?

- Forget it. You may want to look out for someone,

but I don't.

- Fine walk, walk all day for all I care.

- Who needs this place?

Who needs Griffin?

He's such a, such a.

(screams)

- You know, it's not like I get anything wrong.

Let her explain to mom and dad why she's late.

She is no longer my problem,

Oh, man. What's he doing?

Wait, stop.

I have to get out.

Thanks for the ride.

- [Mr. Peterson] Anytime. Say 'Hello' to your folks.

Caitlyn, Bandit's loose. I saw him.

- What? Where?

- This way. Come on.

- [Mom] Jim, Stop!

Whoa, Bandit. That's it.

(Horse neighing)

- Easy, boy. easy, easy, easy

- [Caitlin] Stop!

- Caitlin?

- Bandit!

- Stay back!

- (horse neigh)

- Bandit, Bandit, it's okay. Bandit. It's me.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, good boy.

Good boy.

Good boy.

- That is so awesome.

Dad, did you see what she did?

Did you see that?

- We're standing right here, Griff

- I don't know how you did that, but wow.

- It was nothing sorta comes with the territory.

- As impressed as I am.

I can't get over this nagging question.

What are you guys doing out here?

- Oh, that's my fault.

I sorta messed up and we missed our bus.

- Well, we'll talk about that,

when we get home, after I hose you two down.

- I'm going to walk bandit back.

Is that okay?

- Sure.

Do you know the way?

- No.

- Thought so.

- Oh, there's still this small matter of dinner.

- (Together) Pizza.

- [Griff] You call.

- No, you call. I'm a guest.

- Excuse me. A guest is someone who's not staying.

- Well, they finally worked out their differences.

- Maybe, now there'll be some peace in the house.

- So obvious you an only child.

- Hey, thanks for taking the blame.

No one's ever done that for me before.

- I only did it, so I wouldn't have to watch you cry.

- Don't even start.

- [Caitlin] Okay. So maybe living here,

isn't exactly a prison,

but it's not home yet either.

Whatever it is, I'll give it a few more days to find out.

It will be a lot easier if you stayed too
