00:14 Hello? Dinner time.
00:16 Oh, dinner time.
00:19 There you go.
00:21 Mac and cheese please.
00:22 We don't have mac and cheese today buddy.
00:24 This is peanut butter and jelly.
00:26 Calcium is good for your bones!

00:31 Poe, can you tell us what the capital city of Mississippi is?
00:34 Hey, spaceman, the teacher asked you a question.
00:37 [Music]
00:38 We've all become quite concerned about Poe's declining situation.
00:41 What's wrong with you, freak?
00:43 He has autism.
00:44 My son won't give me a hug, but that doesn't mean I love him any less.
00:49 What if I can't do this, Ben?
00:50 What I don't want you to do is to give up.
00:53 There's a residential treatment center.
00:55 You want me to put Poe in a home?
00:56 What do you intend to do if your son continues to drift?
00:58 He's moving somewhere in his mind.
01:01 Some children like Poe drift and don't come back.
01:05 If you want to, Poe, you can live here forever.
01:09 Daddy's been having a really hard time lately.
01:12 And you deserve the best, because you're a very special boy.
01:16 [Music]
01:23 Places your mind will take you, I can't even begin to imagine.
01:28 What you need is a woman.
01:30 Daddy, this is Amy.
01:32 Thanks for coming out here to talk to me.
01:33 God grants blessings in mysterious ways.
01:36 [Music]
01:38 Do you ever wonder why Poe drifts?
01:41 Yeah, I do. I wonder why he drifts. I wonder why he flaps his arms.
01:45 I wonder if he'll ever get a girlfriend.
01:47 I'm worried about my dad. He seems sad all the time.
01:50 I just need you to tell me it's okay.
01:52 Don't be afraid, Daddy.
01:54 Don't be afraid of what, pal?
01:56 Don't be afraid of me.
01:57 [Music]
02:02 If I was you, I'd keep my retarded kid on a leash.
02:05 My dad's a wrestler.
