00:00Get in. We'll drive you home.
00:02His pregnant wife offered me a ride.
00:05I'm cold.
00:06I know, buddy. I got you.
00:08I had $12 left.
00:10A cab home was $28.
00:12You're Ethan's high school friend, right?
00:14Come on. The kid is freezing.
00:17I should have said no.
00:19But pride does not keep a child warm.
00:21What happened to him?
00:23Fever. He is better now.
00:25Poor baby.
00:26His dad did not come.
00:28I was tired.
00:29Tired of lying. Tired of him knowing.
00:32He does not have one.
00:35Oh, I am sorry. I did not mean to pry.
00:38The silence got so loud,
00:39I could hear my own heart.
00:41How old is he?
00:44Four.
00:45I said it again, because once you start lying,
00:48stopping feels like bleeding.
00:49He's adorable.
00:51She was carrying his future, and I was carrying his past.
00:55Congratulations, by the way.
00:58For what?
01:00The baby.
01:04Thanks.
01:06Here is fine.
01:08You live here?
01:09Yeah, just inside.
01:11Can you unlock it?
01:12Inside where?
01:13End of the block.
01:15Hey, give me your number.
01:16I will invite you to the baby party.
01:18I gave her a number.
01:20Of course, it wasn't mine.
01:22you
