summer job as a parking attendant at a restaurant, so Phil doesn't go out for bike rides with Flash any more. Evan mocks Phil for not going out to get laid at 16. Evan goes on a Saturday visit to see the daughter by his first marriage, Kathleen, who by now is aged seven. Learning from her that Mary, her mother (Evan's ex-wife) is working at a fast-food outlet, Evan diverts there on his way home, Mary and Evan go for a drink and a chat when her evening's work finishes, and the pair end up having sex in her apartment.
