The narrator tells the audience that he's going to take care of some business before he leaves. He's not going to waste any more time with a kid who's just not good enough for him. The narrator says he'll see the kid tomorrow. The kid is sitting in the hallway waiting for him, and the narrator says it's been a long time since he'd seen him. He doesn't know what to do. He tells the kid to come to his house and cook dinner, but the kid won't come. He says he can't leave the house because he has a late shift, and that he just wants to make dinner for the kid. He asks if he can ride in the car with him to the house, and when the kid says yes, the narrator asks if the kid is being shy about it. The boy says he was going to come over to the narrator's house to cook dinner anyway, but that's too much for the narrator, who says it bothers him that the kid acts like everyone else does. He also says he doesn''t want to do "perverted stuff" like that, but he does want to know better at his age than to just "think of myself." The kid eats dinner, and then the narrator teases him about how good he is at grilling. He used to do this after practice at the local club, and he says he used to get the same thing when he was a kid.
