A sleek black limousine drops Kelley off at the Arnolds' house. Mr. Morse reminds Kelley to keep his eyes on the important things, gives him some spending money, and leaves.

Upon surveying his new bedroom, Kelley is dismayed to find a mouse that turns out to be Ralph, Jasper's little sister Robin's pet.

Downstairs, the Arnold family gathers for dinner and observes Kelley's absence. Mrs. Arnold offers to bring Kelley his dinner, but Mr. Arnold insists that he'll come down when he's hungry. Jasper offers a disparaging comment on Kelley's actions, until his mother reminds him of his own involvement in the destruction of Mable's Table. Also, Robin proclaims that Kelley is "hot."

Later, Jasper and Samantha are strolling through a field when Jasper brings up the subject of their relationship. In response, Samantha blows into a grass whistle and announces her proficiency at this task.

Once again, Here On Earth helpfully outlines the differences between rich people and poor people:

It is the clash between these two worlds that underlies all of the film's dramatic conflict; notably, the shot of Kelley's shiny black limousine pulling into the Arnolds' dusty, sun-dappled driveway is reminiscent of Elizabethtown's Drew Baylor driving into Elizabethtown , immediately recognized as an outsider and whose arrival is heralded by adorable children on bicycles. Though it is not included in Here On Earth, we can only imagine the shell-shocked reactions of townspeople as they observe the Morse limo rolling up in small-town America. On the other hand, as this film takes place in a world where rich people take stretch limousines to do something as boring as dropping off their kid in the country, perhaps they've grown accustomed to such a sight.

Before he leaves, Mr. Morse hands his son a giant clump of bills as "spending money," highlighting his preoccupation with money in case we had forgotten that he's rich. To be sure, there is not other explanation for such an act, since Kelley is responsible for the blowing up the only establishment in town where he might have had use for spending money. Interestingly, Kelley's sulky demeanor indicates his awareness of as much; his uncanny awareness continues as he glumly finds his room occupied by a child and an animal, the two things filmmaking wisdom dictates you should never, ever work with.

Kelley's brief interaction with Jasper's little sister and Ralph indicates his discomfort with unpredictable elements in life, presumably because everything in his life has always been decided for him. And although Here On Earth is intended to show how much Kelley learns about life in a totally different environment, building character and learning about himself, it is worth noting that even this journey of personal growth was outlined for him beforehand by the overbearing Judge Maddick.

At the Arnold dinner table, Jasper's parents represent opposing approaches to their controversial boarder; on one hand, Mrs. Arnold would like to bring Kelley some dinner while it's fresh, while on the other hand, Mr. Arnold insists on a tougher approach. Considering the readiness with which Mrs. Arnold volunteered to put Kelley up in her home in the first place, and her eagerness to make a personal trip to his bedroom, it is worth questioning her motives here. Possibly, Jasper's little sister is simply parroting statements overheard from her mother; on the bright side, at least a relationship between Kelley and Jasper's mom would be age-appropriate.
