Driving...
MOM
So how was your day at school?
MASON
Fine.
MOM
Hey, I had a good meeting with Miss
Butler this time. I kinda liked
her.
MASON
What did she say?
MOM
Well... she said that you weren't
turning in your homework assignments.
And I told her, "I know he does them,
'cause I check them every night."
She said she found a big chunk of
them crumpled up at the bottom of
your backpack.
MASON
She didn't ask for 'em.
MOM
Well, baby, she doesn't have to.
You're supposed to turn them in.
And she said you're still staring
out the window all day.
MASON
Not all day.
MOM
And she said that you destroyed her
pencil sharpener.
MASON
Not on purpose.
MOM
Wait, she said that you crammed a
bunch of rocks in it.
MASON
I thought if it could sharpen pencils,
maybe we could sharpen rocks.
MOM
(stifling laugh)
Well, what were you gonna do with a
bunch of sharpened rocks?
MASON
I was trying to make arrowheads for
my rock collection.
MOM
Hm.
She glances back at him, with an understanding sigh.
