(1) Missed Call at 3:33 AM
Unknown Number: So how are things at home?
North Jones: Rita's been sneaking out to see her boyfriend.
Unknown Number: Isn't Rita 15?
North Jones: 14 actually
Unknown Number: How do you know this? About her sneaking out, I mean.
North Jones: I catch her sneaking out every night
Unknown Number: Do you try to stop her?
North Jones: She tells me and I quote "mind your own fucking business"
Unknown Number: And how does that make you feel?
North Jones: I don't know, just powerless. She's my sister so I love her of course. It's just hard to watch her do this and have her not want any help.
Unknown Number: Uhuh
North Jones: ...I'm being a hypocrite, aren't I?
Unknown Number: I wouldn't call it that. I just hope your sister lets you help her in the same way you're letting me talk to you now.
North Jones: I gotta go, Rita's just arrived home now
