[Teddy looks down at the hand holding his sleeve, then up to Billy's eyes, seeing the desperation there and not entirely understanding it. He would've thought they'd let him go, go to... wherever, probably wander or see his mom's grave, just to give them some time alone together. This was their thing, not... his. He lost his not long ago, after all.
He doesn't keep going, and he takes a step back toward Billy as well. But he does look at him as well as the rest of the family with a question in his eyes, because he feels on the spot, he doesn't know what to think, this is still such a new thing for him.]
I, uh... was going to go out for a while? You know... [He gestures to the them all.] So you guys can catch up. [As a family, goes unsaid. But...]
Don't be silly, [Mrs. Kaplan says as she walks past Billy, squeezes her son's shoulder, then gives Teddy a hug about as equal as the one she gave to Billy.] You're just as much our family.
