• [Billy arrives at his mother's apartment and knocks on the door] 

  Billy's Mom : Just a second.

  [she opens the door] 

  Billy's Mom : Hey, look, I'm late for work already, all right? We don't need any magazines or whatever. Thanks, though.

  Billy Batson : Oh, I'm not. You probably don't recognize me, but...

  [Billy shows her his compass keychain] 

  Billy Batson : I found my way home. Mom. It's me.

  Billy's Mom : Oh, God. Is it?

  [Billy nods, then approaches to hug her, but she stops him] 

  Billy's Mom : Um... hang on.

  [she closes the door] 

  Billy Batson : That wasn't Dad, was it?

  Billy's Mom : No. Listen, son... It's really you, huh?

  Billy Batson : I didn't mean to run away. You know that, right? I let go, but it was by accident.

  Billy's Mom : Yeah, no. I know, yeah. I saw you.

  Billy Batson : What?

  Billy's Mom : I saw you after. So, it was never your fault. Look, I was 17, okay? And my daddy kicked me out. And your dad just decided not to be a part of anything. And I was hurting, and I was screwed up.

  [pause] 

  Billy's Mom : Look, it's just once I saw you with the police, I realized they could do a better job taking care of you than I ever will. But you're good, right? I mean, you landed on your feet. Because, I mean, you look real good. It's just... now is not a really good time for me, Bill.

  Billy Batson : All I wanted to do is... let you know I'm doing good, but I have to get back to my real family. Here.

  [Billy gives her his keychain] 

  Billy's Mom : What's this?

  Billy Batson : You might need it more than me.

  [Billy walks away]
