00:00:33,417 --> 00:00:38,125
care of the English
Department, Stanford
University.

5
00:00:38,750 --> 00:00:40,583
Dear Mr. Skinner,

6
00:00:40,583 --> 00:00:46,291
my name is Shaun Brumder,
and I think you are
a total genius.

7
00:00:46,291 --> 00:00:50,417
I live in California,
in a place called
Orange County.

8
00:00:50,417 --> 00:00:52,792
[rock guitar music playing]

9
00:00:56,500 --> 00:00:59,000
A year ago,
I was just another
Orange County surfer,

10
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,583
spending my days at the beach
with my buddies...

11
00:01:01,583 --> 00:01:04,625
-[grunts]
- playing volleyball...

12
00:01:05,625 --> 00:01:08,291
-[boy] Whack it, Shaun!
-Yeah!

13
00:01:08,291 --> 00:01:11,500
And spending my nights
around a bonfire, partying.

14
00:01:14,125 --> 00:01:16,125
School was always
a walk for me.

15
00:01:16,125 --> 00:01:18,792
I did pretty well,
without trying too hard.

16
00:01:18,792 --> 00:01:22,625
Hey brother, there's a tropical
storm three miles off Laguna.
Let's go, dude! Surf's up!

17
00:01:22,625 --> 00:01:25,333
-But I was easily distracted.
-What about next period?

18
00:01:25,333 --> 00:01:27,959
Twenty-footers, man!
Screw your period!

19
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,333
Twenty-footers!

20
00:01:30,166 --> 00:01:32,542
Then, last April,

21
00:01:32,542 --> 00:01:35,625
me and my crew drove out
to Emerald Cove

22
00:01:35,625 --> 00:01:38,291

tsunami waves.

This is intense!

34
00:02:32,667 --> 00:02:35,542
I did some heavy meditating--
I thought,

00:02:35,542 --> 00:02:40,542
"Maybe there's more to life
than extreme sports
and trying to get laid.

36

Maybe there's a bigger
purpose for me,

too high to figure it out."

I was sitting on the beach,
totally cogitating.

39
00:02:49,417 --> 00:02:52,417
I looked down,
and there, in the sand,

40
00:02:52,417 --> 00:02:54,583
was a copy of your book.

41
00:02:54,583 --> 00:02:57,583
-[surf music playing]
-It was like a sign.

42
00:02:57,583 --> 00:02:59,625
Like your book
was calling out to me.

43
00:02:59,625 --> 00:03:02,208
[deep male voice]
"Read me."

44
00:03:02,208 --> 00:03:05,917
For the next few days,
I read it from cover to cover.

45
00:03:05,917 --> 00:03:09,792
Your book totally
captured what's it's like
to be a teenager.

46
00:03:09,792 --> 00:03:13,917
The excitement,
the confusion, the horniness.

47
00:03:13,917 --> 00:03:18,083
Sometimes I laughed so hard,
I thought I was going
to puke and die.

48
00:03:18,083 --> 00:03:20,458
And other times, I cried.

00:03:23,875 --> 00:03:29,917
-Shaun?
Are you okay?
-It's just so sad!

50
00:03:29,917 --> 00:03:32,792
I read your book
52 times that month,

51
00:03:32,792 --> 00:03:37,458
and I finally realized
what I wanted to do
with my life:

52
00:03:37,458 --> 00:03:40,583
I want to be a writer.

53
00:03:40,583 --> 00:03:43,625
I've been writing ever since.
It's all I ever do.

54
00:03:43,625 --> 00:03:46,417
All day and all night,
sometimes.

55
00:03:46,417 --> 00:03:49,583
It was hard to get going,
but once I did,
[muttering]

56
00:03:49,583 --> 00:03:50,875
I couldn't stop.

57
00:03:50,875 --> 00:03:53,667
I'm like a machine,
and nothing else matters.

I'm sellin' my board.

00:03:55,917 --> 00:03:58,458
-Dude! No.
-I don't have time to surf.

60

-I need to focus on my writing.
-Huh? What?

61
00:04:01,458 --> 00:04:04,125
My friends think
I've lost my mind.

62
00:04:04,125 --> 00:04:09,125
-He's lost his mind.
-Let's get lit and jump off
the roof of my house.

Now you're talkin'.

64
00:04:11,667 --> 00:04:15,542
I need some feedback,
and there's no one
here to help me.

65
00:04:15,542 --> 00:04:18,000
Got your story here,
Shaun. Wow.

66
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,667
I had the sneaking suspicion
that my English teacher
is illiterate.

67
00:04:21,667 --> 00:04:24,500
Uh, I noticed you used
a lot of big words.

Nice. Good for you.

00:04:49,333 --> 00:04:53,041
but she's always
so positive, it's hard
to take her seriously.

78
00:04:53,041 --> 00:04:57,875
-It's like the best story
I've ever read.
-Really?

79
00:04:57,875 --> 00:05:01,917
[giggles]
It's funny and original.

80
00:05:01,917 --> 00:05:05,250
I mean, I think
it could be a movie.

82
00:05:15,542 --> 00:05:19,583
I don't know if Orange
County's the best environment
for an aspiring writer.

83
00:05:19,583 --> 00:05:23,208
So I'm applying to Stanford,
to study with you.

to some safety schools?

No need.

in my mind that you're
gonna go to Berkeley.

-Stanford.
-Yes, Stanford is where
you're going, mister.

your wisdom and guidance,

be a real writer.

it's "stop the press."

a whole year.

do something.

-In his memory.
-Yeah.

156
00:09:59,166 --> 00:10:02,166
We should pull a killer prank.
We should go jump off
something, dudes.

157
00:10:02,166 --> 00:10:04,625
Yeah, bro,
or blow something up.

158
00:10:04,625 --> 00:10:08,333
Maybe we should go on down to
Emerald Cove and have a little
surf in Lonny's memory.

Dude, Shaun doesn't
surf anymore, stupid.

Oh, yeah. I forgot,
he doesn't surf or skate
or pick his butt, dude.

as you may know,

00:10:23,166 --> 00:10:27,208
And today's paper just
says hundreds of seagulls
have been affected.

165
00:10:27,208 --> 00:10:30,333
So I propose a school-sponsored
fund-raiser

166
00:10:30,333 --> 00:10:34,166
with all the proceeds going to
the seagull rehabilitation fund.

167
00:10:34,166 --> 00:10:38,041
As the community
service leader, I think
we would be morally remiss

168
00:10:38,041 --> 00:10:40,709
-if we did nothing
for these seagulls.
-Fine.

169
00:10:41,709 --> 00:10:43,750
One more.
Last one.

170
00:10:43,750 --> 00:10:47,709
After this, we'll let
all sick and endangered
animals die

172
00:10:49,542 --> 00:10:55,375

Now, people, June is
just around the corner.

Ideas?

She's in town that same
weekend for a book-signing.

175
00:11:03,208 --> 00:11:06,333
She's won the Nobel prize.

-Right. Who else?

183
00:11:34,250 --> 00:11:36,458
You know, someone else
was involved in that movie

as Leonardo DiCaprio.

185

William Shakespeare.

00:20:42,792 --> 00:20:45,959
-You been workin' out?
-No.

328
00:20:45,959 --> 00:20:48,750
Bud is getting so fat.

329
00:20:48,750 --> 00:20:50,792
You should really
talk to him.

330
00:20:50,792 --> 00:20:52,500
He's gonna have
a heart attack.

331
00:20:53,500 --> 00:20:56,333
Plus, he's fat.

332
00:20:56,333 --> 00:20:59,333
Goddamn it!
Are you trying to ruin me?

333
00:20:59,333 --> 00:21:04,333
-Yeah, where is my dad?
-If you do this,
I will eat your face!

334
00:21:04,333 --> 00:21:08,166
[speaking] come, my lady.
Come, come, my lady. You're
my butterfly, sugar, baby.

335
00:21:08,166 --> 00:21:10,542
-[horn blowing,
tires screeching]
-My lady--

336
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:17,333
-Oh, puppy! Oh, God!
Oh my God, puppy!
-[horn blaring]

337
00:21:17,333 --> 00:21:19,834
A writer?  What do
you have to write about?

338
00:21:19,834 --> 00:21:21,500
You're not
oppressed, you're not gay.

339
00:21:21,500 --> 00:21:25,625
-Not all writers are gay.
-Yeah, well, they're all poor.
I can tell you that.

340
00:21:25,625 --> 00:21:30,291
It's not true.
Wh-what about Tom Clancy?
Steven King. Anne Rice.

341
00:21:30,291 --> 00:21:33,000
Three people!
In the history of literature!

342
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,375
Well, the truth is,
I don't care  about
making money.

343
00:21:36,875 --> 00:21:38,041
Sh--

344
00:21:41,208 --> 00:21:44,542
Shaun, I have a burst
blood vessel in my brain.

345
00:21:44,542 --> 00:21:46,834
I could die
at any moment.

346
00:21:46,834 --> 00:21:50,166
But I keep plugging away,
day after day, because

347
00:21:50,166 --> 00:21:53,208
I want to leave you
with something special--
a business.

348
00:21:53,208 --> 00:21:56,709
-Nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah.
I want my poody.
-A legacy!

349
00:21:56,709 --> 00:22:00,000
Uh, hey, pal,
control yourself.
Can you-- give me that!

350
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,041
-Ha, ha.
I want my poody!
-Where's your mother?

351
00:22:03,041 --> 00:22:05,208
-Rosa!
Will you get in here?
-[phone ringing]

352
00:22:05,208 --> 00:22:07,041
-Wham!
-Oh, no.

353
00:22:07,041 --> 00:22:09,709
-Yeah, I'm coming!
-Rosa, can you get
him out of here?

354
00:22:09,709 --> 00:22:12,041
-He needs a nap.
-Come here, Jake.

355
00:22:12,041 --> 00:22:14,542
-I want him
to learn some limits.
-[ringing continues]

356
00:22:14,542 --> 00:22:18,417
-Uh, Shaun?
-[two phones ringing]

357
00:22:18,417 --> 00:22:23,250
This is my life's work here.
When I started out, I had
nothing. Now look at me.

358
00:22:23,250 --> 00:22:25,959
I've got eight and
a half million square feet
in Irvine alone.

359
00:22:25,959 --> 00:22:29,041
It's a goddamn empire,
and I want to leave it
to you.

360
00:22:29,041 --> 00:22:32,375
-[Jake] Wham!
-This is the life
I want for you.

361
00:22:32,375 --> 00:22:34,083
Yeah, but what about
what I  want ?

362
00:22:34,083 --> 00:22:38,750
You want to be a writer?
Well, before that, you wanted
to be a professional surfer,

363
00:22:38,750 --> 00:22:40,625
so it's a little hard
to take you seriously, Shaun.

364
00:22:42,625 --> 00:22:45,625
Fine.
I don't want your money.

365
00:22:47,750 --> 00:22:50,875
But just for the record,
Dad, you've never done
anything for me.

366
00:22:50,875 --> 00:22:52,750
It's always been
about you.

367
00:22:55,583 --> 00:22:58,291
[young wife giggling]

368
00:23:01,250 --> 00:23:02,625
What the f--

369
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,959
It's over. I should just
drive my car into the ocean
and get it over with.

370
00:23:11,959 --> 00:23:14,417
-Shaun, don't say that.
-[dog barking]

371
00:23:14,417 --> 00:23:18,625
[growling, ripping]

372
00:23:18,625 --> 00:23:20,792
He was running across PCH.
He didn't have a tag.

373
00:23:20,792 --> 00:23:22,959
Was I gonna
leave him there? No.

374
00:23:22,959 --> 00:23:25,667
-I mean, he'd get killed.
-[ripping continues]

375
00:23:25,667 --> 00:23:28,625
-[sighs]
-[barks]

376
00:23:28,625 --> 00:23:30,458
Shaun, I have
something to confess.

377
00:23:30,458 --> 00:23:33,500
-What?
-You know how you told me
that every night

378
00:23:33,500 --> 00:23:36,417
before you'd go to bed,
you'd pray that you'd
get into Stanford?

379
00:23:36,417 --> 00:23:38,500
-Yeah?
-[sighs]

380
00:23:38,500 --> 00:23:43,125
-Well, the other night,
I prayed for something too.
-What?

381
00:23:44,834 --> 00:23:47,875
I prayed...
That you wouldn't
get into Stanford.

382
00:23:47,875 --> 00:23:50,709
-[barking, tearing]
-Why ?

383
00:23:50,709 --> 00:23:54,208
-I didn't really think
it was gonna work!
-Aww.

384
00:23:54,208 --> 00:23:58,834
And I was just sitting here
thinking, "Whoa. My prayer
was answered.

385
00:23:58,834 --> 00:24:01,875
And I should be happy."
I mean, I got into OCU,

386
00:24:01,875 --> 00:24:03,667
and now maybe you can
go to OCU too.

387
00:24:03,667 --> 00:24:08,000
And you can study creative
writing, and I can study marine
biology, and we can be together.

388
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:12,667
But then I just started
feeling really guilty.

389
00:24:12,667 --> 00:24:15,208
I mean, this was your dream.

390
00:24:15,208 --> 00:24:17,375
And I'm just being selfish.

391
00:24:17,375 --> 00:24:20,667
-I just feel awful.
-No.

392
00:24:20,667 --> 00:24:22,875
Ashley, this is
not your fault.

393
00:24:22,875 --> 00:24:25,875
Well, I at least want to try
and make it up to you.

394
00:24:25,875 --> 00:24:31,000
Thanks, but I really
don't think there's
anything you can do.

395
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:35,000
Well, maybe there is.
Tanya's grandfather is
on the board at Stanford.

396
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,041
And Tanya's my friend.
So maybe she can help us.

397
00:24:39,041 --> 00:24:42,750
My grandfather is not
gonna bend over backwards
for just anyone.

398
00:24:42,750 --> 00:24:45,375
Tanya, please?
Can't you just
help us?

399
00:24:45,375 --> 00:24:47,917
[scoffs]
Can't you see I'm busy?

400
00:24:53,083 --> 00:24:56,375
Why don't you go
check on the dog?
Give him some water, okay?

401
00:24:56,375 --> 00:25:00,875
I'll take care of this.
[sighs]

402
00:25:01,542 --> 00:25:02,750
Tanya.

403
00:25:05,125 --> 00:25:06,583
We need to have
a little chat.

404
00:25:07,750 --> 00:25:08,959
Excuse me.

405
00:25:12,041 --> 00:25:16,583
Look, Shaun's my boyfriend.
And I would do anything for him.

406
00:25:16,583 --> 00:25:19,583
Even if that means
breaking a promise to you.

407
00:25:19,583 --> 00:25:23,792
-What promise?
-Halloween?
Dana's little brother?

408
00:25:25,583 --> 00:25:28,208
[hip-hop music playing]

409
00:25:29,750 --> 00:25:35,208
[gasping, moaning]

410
00:25:35,208 --> 00:25:38,875
-Everyone knows about that.
-Maybe.

411
00:25:38,875 --> 00:25:41,250
But they don't know
about Lonny's memorial.

412
00:25:46,291 --> 00:25:48,583
I miss Lonny.

413
00:25:48,583 --> 00:25:51,166
[sighs]
Me too.

414
00:25:56,834 --> 00:25:59,333
Hey, I miss Lonny too.

415
00:26:04,125 --> 00:26:08,125
-But, Ashley, you promised.
-And what about prom night?

416
00:26:22,291 --> 00:26:24,083
Hi, Grammy.
It's Tanya.

417
00:26:24,083 --> 00:26:27,000
Hi, how are you?
Yeah, is Grandpa there?

418
00:26:30,166 --> 00:26:33,125
[sighs]
You are so awesome.

419
00:26:35,792 --> 00:26:38,333
-But hey,
we should go.
-Yeah.

420
00:26:38,333 --> 00:26:41,000
-Tanya's grandfather
wants to meet you in person.
-I want to meet him.

421
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,166
Yeah, he and his wife
are gonna come by your house
at 5:00.

422
00:26:44,166 --> 00:26:45,875
-My house?
-Yeah!

423
00:26:45,875 --> 00:26:49,458
Do you know
who lives  at my house?

424
00:26:49,458 --> 00:26:52,834
Yeah, that's right, Lupe.
Just cover his whole head.

425
00:26:52,834 --> 00:26:54,792
Who are you?

426
00:26:54,792 --> 00:26:57,166
I'm your wife.
Cindy?

427
00:26:57,166 --> 00:27:00,333
-We met in Maui?
Hey, Shaun, look!
-[door opens]

428
00:27:00,333 --> 00:27:02,500
-Bob's still bleeding.
-[mumbling]

429
00:27:02,500 --> 00:27:05,834
-What's this? Ow, what is--
Oh, my God!
-[panting]

430
00:27:05,834 --> 00:27:09,041
[chuckling]
Oh, he likes you.
Yes!

431
00:27:09,041 --> 00:27:11,542
-We found him on PCH.
Um-hmm.
-Get him out of the house.

432
00:27:11,542 --> 00:27:14,875
-I don't allow dogs in here.
-Oh, but he's so swee--

433
00:27:14,875 --> 00:27:19,083
-[chuckles fondly]
-Call the humane society.
They'll have him put to sleep.

434
00:27:19,083 --> 00:27:22,542
Hey, Ash, don't you think
we should put out some cheese
and crackers or something?

435
00:27:22,542 --> 00:27:25,834
-God, they're gonna be here
in, like, 15 minutes.
-Yeah, I know.

436
00:27:25,834 --> 00:27:29,041
-Wh-who's coming?
-Mom, you--

437
00:27:29,041 --> 00:27:31,166
You might want to
put on something more--

438
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,083
-You know.
-More what?

439
00:27:35,083 --> 00:27:38,417
More what?
What's going on?

440
00:27:40,041 --> 00:27:42,875
Shaun, what's going--
What's happening?

441
00:27:42,875 --> 00:27:45,583
[stammering]
Okay. Sit down.
Sit down. Okay?

442
00:27:45,583 --> 00:27:47,542
Just sit.
Don't be nervous,

443
00:27:47,542 --> 00:27:50,041
but someone very important
is coming over to the house.

444
00:27:50,041 --> 00:27:54,583
And he's bringing his wife.
And if he likes me, he's
gonna get me into Stanford.

445
00:27:54,583 --> 00:27:57,417
-Are they coming over now?
-Yeah. They're gonna be here
in a couple of minutes.

446
00:27:57,417 --> 00:27:59,750
Shaun,
the house is a mess.

447
00:27:59,750 --> 00:28:04,417
And Bob is bleeding.
And you cannot expect me
to drop everything I'm doing

448
00:28:04,417 --> 00:28:05,959
and just entertain
these strangers!

449
00:28:05,959 --> 00:28:07,917
Drop what?
What were you doing?

450
00:28:07,917 --> 00:28:10,458
-Uh, I--
-Look,

451
00:28:10,458 --> 00:28:13,917
This is my last chance
to get into Stanford.

452
00:28:13,917 --> 00:28:17,208
I know, honey, and--
it's not a good day for me.

453
00:28:17,208 --> 00:28:19,291
-But I have to go to college!
-Why?

454
00:28:19,291 --> 00:28:22,125
Because that's what you do
after high school!

455
00:28:22,125 --> 00:28:24,875
Please don't do this to me,
all right?

456
00:28:24,875 --> 00:28:28,291
Please don't sabotage me,
because every time I try
to depend on you,

457
00:28:28,291 --> 00:28:33,333
-you start acting like
a total lunatic!
-[gasps] Oh, Shaun.

458
00:28:34,792 --> 00:28:37,083
[sighing, whimpering]

459
00:28:40,083 --> 00:28:41,166
Mom?

460
00:28:43,750 --> 00:28:47,291
Mom?
I'm sorry.

461
00:28:47,291 --> 00:28:49,250
So, uh-- so now
I'm a bad mother?

462
00:28:49,250 --> 00:28:52,625
No. No, you're not.
Will you please just
put on some clothes?

463
00:28:52,625 --> 00:28:55,500
I sacrificed
a lot for you, Shaun.

464
00:28:55,500 --> 00:28:57,917
I sacrificed Damian
for you.

465
00:28:57,917 --> 00:29:00,458
-Your tennis instructor?
-He was beautiful!

466
00:29:00,458 --> 00:29:04,333
And Serbian.
And when your father left,
I almost married him.

467
00:29:04,333 --> 00:29:08,667
And if I had, we'd be living
in a condo clipping coupons
and eating lunch meat.

468
00:29:08,667 --> 00:29:11,625
So, I didn't.
I married Bob!

469
00:29:11,625 --> 00:29:16,125
For you.
I had sex with Bob.
Four times. For you!

470
00:29:16,125 --> 00:29:18,375
So how can you say
I'm a bad mother?

471
00:29:18,375 --> 00:29:22,667
I'm not saying that.
Mom, you know that
money can't buy happiness.

472
00:29:22,667 --> 00:29:24,333
Oh, grow up.
Yes, it can!

473
00:29:24,333 --> 00:29:29,166
-You and dad both have money,
and you're both miserable.
-He's miserable?

474
00:29:29,166 --> 00:29:32,834
-Shaun, did he say that?
-Mom,

475
00:29:32,834 --> 00:29:35,000
this is the most decisive day
of my life.

476
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,750
And all I am asking for
is one hour.

477
00:29:36,750 --> 00:29:41,542
One hour w-with no big scenes,
and no nervous breakdowns
and no Meryl Streep impressions.

478
00:29:41,542 --> 00:29:46,667
Just one hour where
you act like a normal,
loving parent.

479
00:29:46,667 --> 00:29:49,542
-Can you do this for me?
-[sighing ] Oh, Shaun.

480
00:29:52,667 --> 00:29:54,709
[laughs]
Yes, I can.

481
00:29:54,709 --> 00:29:57,417
[sighs]
Thank you, Mom.

482
00:29:57,417 --> 00:30:00,375
But I'll need a glass of wine.
There's some chardonnay

Some very important people
are coming over to the house,
so stay in your room.

490

-Because you're

-Okay, Lupe is with Bob.

Thank you so much

-Hello, Ashley.
-Nice to meet you.

505
00:31:17,458 --> 00:31:21,291
-You're friends with Tanya.
-Tanya's very upset
by your situation.

506
00:31:21,291 --> 00:31:23,625
I don't like it when
my granddaughter is upset.
[chuckles]

507
00:31:23,625 --> 00:31:26,500
Tanya has Arthur wrapped
around her little finger.

Excuse me!

Won't you please, uh,

Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you, thank you,

Thank you.

516
00:31:51,583 --> 00:31:54,250
-So, Shaun, tell us
about yourself.
-Uh--

517
00:31:54,250 --> 00:31:57,291
Well, uh, I'm
a National Merit Scholar.

518
00:31:57,291 --> 00:32:00,000
Uh...
Straight "A" student,

519
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,333
and I want
to be a writer.

520
00:32:02,333 --> 00:32:05,875
Do you like John Grisham?
I sure do.

521
00:32:05,875 --> 00:32:08,166
Shaun's also our
class president,

522
00:32:08,166 --> 00:32:11,500
and he was the representative
at our model UN.

523
00:32:11,500 --> 00:32:15,125
-Hmm!
-Yeah, he's a fabulous kid,
Mr. Gantner.

524
00:32:15,125 --> 00:32:17,125
Arthur, please.
Call me Arthur.
[ Chuckling ]

525
00:32:17,125 --> 00:32:23,166
Even as a little boy,
he was so  smart!
I miss those days.

526
00:32:23,166 --> 00:32:26,375
Yeah, the last few years
have been, um, really hard.

527
00:32:27,792 --> 00:32:30,667
Ah. Ahh !

528
00:32:30,667 --> 00:32:33,542
I helped my former husband
start his business.

529
00:32:33,542 --> 00:32:37,667
And as soon as he gets
a little money, he starts
screwin' around on me.

530
00:32:37,667 --> 00:32:39,500
-Oh, my goodness.
-Ahh.

531
00:32:39,500 --> 00:32:43,250
He left me for
a 20-year-old
he met at the gym.

532
00:32:43,250 --> 00:32:45,208
-[Vera] Oh!
-Yeah.

533
00:32:45,208 --> 00:32:48,917
I walked in on them
in a motel in La Jolla.
She's got him naked

534
00:32:48,917 --> 00:32:50,500
and handcuffed to the bed.

535
00:32:52,333 --> 00:32:56,041
So we divorced,
I remarried.

536
00:32:56,041 --> 00:32:59,667
Then, this new one,
uh, Bob,

537
00:32:59,667 --> 00:33:01,709
he starts
fallin' apart, and...

538
00:33:01,709 --> 00:33:06,875
Then it's just...
One shitstorm after
the other.

539
00:33:06,875 --> 00:33:09,667
-[doorbell ringing repeatedly]
-[boy] Shaun! Let us in!

-[chuckling] Yo, bro!
-What's up, dude?

542
00:33:16,375 --> 00:33:18,375
-We heard you tried
to kill Mrs. Cobb.
-Shh!

543
00:33:18,375 --> 00:33:21,041
Yeah. Dude! Are you on
a violent rampage, dude?

544
00:33:21,041 --> 00:33:23,250
You guys,
what do you want?

545
00:33:23,250 --> 00:33:25,083
-All right.
-All right, bro.
Check it out.

546
00:33:25,083 --> 00:33:29,083
We thought, in Lonny's
memory, right? We could
go down to Emerald Cove,

547
00:33:29,083 --> 00:33:32,250
and we could take
his board, and we could
like, push it

548
00:33:32,250 --> 00:33:34,792
-out into the ocean.
-Yeah.
Or blow it up.

549
00:33:34,792 --> 00:33:36,709
-Right.
-Dudes, it sounds like
a great idea, all right?

550
00:33:36,709 --> 00:33:40,750
And I'll do it, but I can't
right now, because I got some
very important people over.

551
00:33:40,750 --> 00:33:42,583
-So--
-Whoa.

552
00:33:42,583 --> 00:33:45,417
-More important
than us,  huh?
-No.

553
00:33:45,417 --> 00:33:47,917
-More important than Lonny?
-Of course not.

554
00:33:47,917 --> 00:33:50,750
-Yeah, right, bro.
This is his birthday, man.
-Yeah, man.

555
00:33:50,750 --> 00:33:54,750

Doesn't that mean
anything to you?

-Huh?
-[door opens, slams]

561
00:34:11,625 --> 00:34:14,834
So I, uh, I visited
Stanford in the fall.

-It's a beautiful campus.
-Isn't it lovely?

563

We go up there for
football games, and of course,
Arthur is on the board!

00:39:25,583 --> 00:39:28,125
Er, uh, I don't know--
[gibberish]

640
00:39:28,125 --> 00:39:30,750
"Talk to the hand."
Or something like that,
man.

641
00:39:30,750 --> 00:39:33,917
Those would sell.
Or I don't--
I got these ideas!

642
00:39:33,917 --> 00:39:36,709
Like a hat.
A big old hat that goes
[ascending scale]

643
00:39:36,709 --> 00:39:38,667
-You know?
-[both screaming]

644
00:39:38,667 --> 00:39:43,750
-[brakes screeching]
-[Lance] Watch the road,
dumb-ass.

645
00:39:43,750 --> 00:39:47,333
They've written me off, man.
Did you know that?
People have written me off.

646
00:39:47,333 --> 00:39:50,333
-Like Dad, for one.
-Hey, just keep
your eyes on the road.

647
00:39:51,625 --> 00:39:54,959
Dude, I'm gonna have
the last laugh.

648
00:39:54,959 --> 00:39:57,959
Because here's why.
Some little chumps
go to college.

649
00:39:57,959 --> 00:40:00,625
Some little chumps
stay home. Some little
chumps eat roast beef,

650
00:40:00,625 --> 00:40:04,291
And some little chumps have
none; but this little chump's
gonna cry, "Wee, wee, wee,"

651
00:40:04,291 --> 00:40:06,125
all the way
to the biz-neck.

652
00:40:06,125 --> 00:40:07,750
-You know
what I'm saying?
-Yeah. Yeah.

653
00:40:07,750 --> 00:40:11,667
-[screaming]
-[tires screeching,
engine revving]

654
00:40:11,667 --> 00:40:14,083
-[Lance] I love you, dude.
We don't say it enough.
-[Shaun] I love you too.

655
00:40:14,083 --> 00:40:17,959
We don't say it enough.
And it's true, and
it's not the drugs, buddy.

656
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,542
-[door banging shut]
-Hi.

657
00:40:47,875 --> 00:40:49,750
-Hi.
-Uh, I need to talk...

658
00:40:49,750 --> 00:40:55,500
-to the dean of admissions.
-Well, it's 10:30 at night,
so he's not here right now.

659
00:40:55,500 --> 00:40:58,000
I-I know, but you see,
this is an emergency.

660
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,709
Yeah, I'm sure.
You'll have to come back
tomorrow, though.

661
00:41:00,709 --> 00:41:05,542
-Could you maybe just
give us his phone number?
-What? His phone number?

662
00:41:05,542 --> 00:41:09,375
Please, you guys,
cut me some slack.
Come back tomorrow.

663
00:41:09,375 --> 00:41:11,875
All right,
we're closed,
okay?

664
00:41:11,875 --> 00:41:14,709
That's such crap.
That is such crap!

665
00:41:14,709 --> 00:41:17,917
Shaun, screw her.
You know what?
Screw her!

666
00:41:17,917 --> 00:41:20,875
-Are you cold?
Do you want my jacket?
-Yes, please. Thank you.

667
00:41:20,875 --> 00:41:25,208
[inhales sharply] Man!
She thinks she's so smart
'cause she goes to Stanford?

668
00:41:25,208 --> 00:41:28,417
Well, I'm smart too.
You watch, I'm gonna
pull a Macgyver.

669
00:41:28,417 --> 00:41:33,041
I will break in a window,
I'll look around, and find a--
what do you call that thing?

670
00:41:33,041 --> 00:41:35,166
Directory! [snaps fingers]
You stay here.
I'm gonna be back

671
00:41:35,166 --> 00:41:37,542
in fifteen minutes
with the directory.

672
00:41:37,542 --> 00:41:38,875
Reconnoiter, fifteen!

673
00:41:40,917 --> 00:41:43,959
Well, the dean's probably
listed. You could just
call information.

674
00:41:58,125 --> 00:42:00,458
-[shouting]
-[glass smashing]

675
00:42:00,458 --> 00:42:04,250
-[glass tinkling]
-[Lance groaning]

676
00:42:06,750 --> 00:42:10,250
[gasping]
Hey, what are you doing?

677
00:42:11,792 --> 00:42:14,542
Uh, hey...
Cutie.

678
00:42:15,250 --> 00:42:16,417
What do you want?

679
00:42:18,250 --> 00:42:22,250
Well, the question is,

680
00:42:24,625 --> 00:42:25,834
what do you  want?

681
00:42:29,792 --> 00:42:31,125
Listen, uh--

682
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:34,792
Do you want me
to call public safety?

683
00:42:36,458 --> 00:42:38,750
Do you want me to get naked
and start the revolution?

684
00:42:44,291 --> 00:42:46,000
I'll take that
as a "maybe."

685
00:42:53,792 --> 00:42:55,458
[doorbell ringing]

686
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,500
-Yes? Yeah?
-Hi, Mr. Durkett?

687
00:43:00,500 --> 00:43:03,959
-You're such a liar!
-Girls, Gina, Stephanie,
I told you knock it off.

688
00:43:03,959 --> 00:43:08,500
-Dad, Stephanie
stole my flip-flops.
-So deal with it, Gina.

689
00:43:08,500 --> 00:43:10,333
Go. Yes?

690
00:43:10,333 --> 00:43:14,000
Hi, I'm Shaun Brumder.
I need to talk to you
about my application.

691
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,875
It's late.
I gotta get up
for a 7:00 flight.

692
00:43:16,875 --> 00:43:19,625
-But there's been
a big mistake.
-I'm sorry.

693
00:43:19,625 --> 00:43:21,875
There's nothing I can do.
Good night.

694
00:43:23,667 --> 00:43:27,291
-[ringing bell]
-Yes?

695
00:43:27,291 --> 00:43:31,458
Hi, Mr. Durkett.
Look, we drove all the way
here from Orange County.

696
00:43:31,458 --> 00:43:35,792
And can't you just give us
five minutes of your time?
Please?

697
00:43:36,834 --> 00:43:39,834
Okay, you have
five minutes. Go.

698
00:43:39,834 --> 00:43:43,500
Okay. Stanford University
was my first choice.

699
00:43:43,500 --> 00:43:46,500
All right? In fact,
I didn't even apply
to any other schools,

700
00:43:46,500 --> 00:43:50,208
but my college counselor
sent you the wrong transcript.

701
00:43:50,208 --> 00:43:53,667
-Show me your transcript.
-I left it in the car.
I'm just gonna go get it.

702
00:43:53,667 --> 00:43:56,041
It's just gonna
take two seconds.
Please don't go anywhere.

703
00:43:56,041 --> 00:43:58,834
-Okay.
-Don!

704
00:44:00,375 --> 00:44:01,875
-What?
-Where are
our bathing suits?

705
00:44:01,875 --> 00:44:05,208
There's a dive bag.
A green mesh dive bag
on the floor in my closet.

706
00:44:05,208 --> 00:44:08,667
-Just look in there.
-Who are these people?
Get rid of them?

707
00:44:12,375 --> 00:44:16,041
-Could I have one of those?
-Oh. Yeah.

708
00:44:16,041 --> 00:44:19,709
-Thank you.
My head is killing me.
-Oh, take two. Or three.

709
00:44:19,709 --> 00:44:21,583
Thank you.

710
00:44:21,583 --> 00:44:24,208
Yeah, or you can just
have the whole bottle.
[chuckles]

711
00:44:24,208 --> 00:44:26,250
-Thank you.
-[wife] When you're
done down there,

712
00:44:26,250 --> 00:44:28,542
I need help
closing my suitcase.

713
00:44:28,542 --> 00:44:31,250
Okay.
I'll be up
in five minutes.

714
00:44:35,917 --> 00:44:38,083
[doorbell ringing]

715
00:44:38,709 --> 00:44:39,917
[barking]

716
00:44:42,917 --> 00:44:45,250
-[ringing]
-Coming.

717
00:44:48,041 --> 00:44:49,917
Ah, come on.
[sighs]

718
00:44:49,917 --> 00:44:53,458
Jesus, you look like
a beast.

719
00:44:53,458 --> 00:44:56,417
-Where's Shaun?
I need to talk to him.
-He's driving to Stanford.

720
00:44:56,417 --> 00:44:58,417
He's having a crisis.
In case you didn't know.

721
00:44:58,417 --> 00:45:01,625
-I know all about it,
thank you.
-Yeah you're such a good father.

722
00:45:01,625 --> 00:45:07,417
-So good to your kids.
-[sighs] I need a drink.
Have any beer, coyote ugly?

723
00:45:10,417 --> 00:45:12,959
This is an excellent transcript.

724
00:45:12,959 --> 00:45:16,333
You should be very proud,
but what can I tell ya?
If I'd had this...

725
00:45:16,333 --> 00:45:19,291
By January 21st,
you might have had a shot,
but uh--

726
00:45:19,291 --> 00:45:23,333
-Don, I need you.
-[footsteps on stairs,
girls arguing]

727
00:45:23,333 --> 00:45:27,667
-Excuse me.
-[arguing continues]

728
00:45:27,667 --> 00:45:31,166
-[Don] All right, now
what is the big deal?
-He's gonna say no.

729
00:45:31,166 --> 00:45:35,000
Hey.
Don't let him say no.

730
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:36,959
-It's gonna be fine.
-Okay.

731
00:45:38,125 --> 00:45:39,125
Thanks.

732
00:45:40,959 --> 00:45:43,959
So, what's up with
your brother and aspirin?

733
00:45:43,959 --> 00:45:46,625
Does he, like, get
a lot of headaches,
or what?

734
00:45:54,500 --> 00:45:57,500
What is that smell?
What am I sitting in?

735
00:45:57,500 --> 00:45:59,500
Oh, relax.
It's just urine.

736
00:45:59,500 --> 00:46:01,542
Oh.

737
00:46:01,542 --> 00:46:05,000
[sighs deeply]
You know, your son was
being a real brat today.

738
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,709
-A real pain in the ass.
- My  son.

739
00:46:07,709 --> 00:46:12,792
He said I was selfish.
He said that, "Everything's
always about me."

740
00:46:12,792 --> 00:46:15,834
Yeah, he called me
a drama queen. Said I was
trying to sabotage him.

741
00:46:22,500 --> 00:46:25,375
So, how's Bob?

742
00:46:25,375 --> 00:46:29,500
[chuckling]
How's what's-her-face?

743
00:46:31,166 --> 00:46:34,000
-She's sleeping around.
-[laughing] No!

744
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,041
-[gasps]
-I can't talk to her.

745
00:46:37,041 --> 00:46:40,667
She doesn't play tennis.
She's not a good mother.

746
00:46:41,875 --> 00:46:43,166
She's not like you.

747
00:46:49,542 --> 00:46:51,083
Want another beer?

748
00:47:00,709 --> 00:47:01,875
Oh!

749
00:47:06,083 --> 00:47:11,208
Look, sometimes
I leave the office
at the end of the day,

750
00:47:11,208 --> 00:47:13,208
and I get into my car
and head home,

751
00:47:14,208 --> 00:47:16,041
and 15 minutes later,
I'm here.

752
00:47:16,041 --> 00:47:19,250
Parked in front of this house.
It's annoying.

753
00:47:19,250 --> 00:47:20,625
It's totally out of my way.
[sighs]

754
00:47:22,750 --> 00:47:26,291
I made a mistake and
I'm tired of paying for it.
I want you back.

755
00:47:28,583 --> 00:47:30,125
You're such an asshole.

756
00:47:33,542 --> 00:47:36,417
[moaning, groaning]

757
00:47:38,750 --> 00:47:42,041
-Which ones were they?
-Umm--

758
00:47:42,041 --> 00:47:44,959
-Excedrin?
-Excedrin.
Okay.

759
00:47:44,959 --> 00:47:47,417
Excedrin are...
pain pills!

760
00:47:47,417 --> 00:47:50,917
-Pain pills.
-No! Oh, my god!

761
00:47:50,917 --> 00:47:54,917
-What?
-We just gave the dean of
admissions three hits of--

762
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:02,125
Where were we?

763
00:48:05,792 --> 00:48:07,959
Um--
[clicks tongue]

764
00:48:07,959 --> 00:48:11,291
Well, Mr. Durkett,
uh, to me,

765
00:48:11,291 --> 00:48:13,458
Stanford's not just
a school, it's--

766
00:48:13,458 --> 00:48:15,500
It's my entire
reason for living.

767
00:48:15,500 --> 00:48:19,667
Every night before
I went to bed, I'd pray
that I'd get into Stanford.

768
00:48:19,667 --> 00:48:25,000
And I worked really hard.
And when all my friends
were out having fun,

769
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,792
I stayed in,
and I studied.

770
00:48:27,792 --> 00:48:30,500
That's good.
That's what you have to do.

771
00:48:31,417 --> 00:48:33,166
Eighty-two percent--

772
00:48:39,166 --> 00:48:42,166
Wait a second.
I like you.

773
00:48:43,166 --> 00:48:46,166
-What's your name?
-Shaun.

774
00:48:46,166 --> 00:48:49,875
Shaun. Shaun?
I like you.

775
00:48:49,875 --> 00:48:51,208
I do.
I don't know why,

776
00:48:52,834 --> 00:48:54,375
I just like you!

777
00:48:55,625 --> 00:48:57,166
Thanks.

778
00:48:57,166 --> 00:49:00,500
I feel so... Good!

779
00:49:02,041 --> 00:49:05,458
Is it me, or is it, like,
hotter than hell in here?

780
00:49:05,458 --> 00:49:09,667
-Hey, can you help me?
-Yeah. Yeah! Yes.

781
00:49:09,667 --> 00:49:14,125
Yes, I can.  No.
I'm-- there's no time.
I'm leaving.

782
00:49:14,125 --> 00:49:17,000
Going to Bali.
Going to Bali with my family.

783
00:49:18,875 --> 00:49:21,166
I love them so much.

784
00:49:26,542 --> 00:49:31,083
I need... Water?
Or... I need to lie down.

785
00:49:31,083 --> 00:49:35,041
-Hey, uh,
before you do that--
-Shaun?

786
00:49:35,041 --> 00:49:38,375
You're my same height.
That is neat.

787
00:49:38,375 --> 00:49:41,500
Yeah, it is. Hey, listen.
Let's go to your office?

788
00:49:41,500 --> 00:49:44,000
And you can add my name
to the acceptance list?

789
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,000
-Before you leave for Bali.
-Sounds good.
Sounds good. Yeah.

790
00:49:49,417 --> 00:49:52,750
Oh, man!
The lights are--

791
00:49:52,750 --> 00:49:56,417
-Like, vivid!
-Well, it's
a beautiful night.

792
00:49:56,417 --> 00:49:59,375
-You're so beautiful.
Come here. You're welcome.
-Oh! Thank you.

793
00:49:59,375 --> 00:50:02,417
You know, I really
appreciate this.

794
00:50:02,417 --> 00:50:07,250
That's okay, Shaun,
'cause I feel

795
00:50:07,250 --> 00:50:10,458

798
00:50:15,417 --> 00:50:19,250
I have a confession.
I never went to college.

799
00:50:21,375 --> 00:50:23,083
It's overrated.

800
00:50:23,083 --> 00:50:26,417
[inhales]
My brother wants to go
here next year.

801
00:50:28,375 --> 00:50:32,083
[exhales]
Well, I hope he's...
on this list.

802
00:50:32,083 --> 00:50:35,417
-What's that?
-It's a list of people
they've accepted.

803
00:50:36,375 --> 00:50:38,583
They rejected him,
the jerks.

804
00:50:41,375 --> 00:50:42,750
Don't do that.

805
00:50:46,750 --> 00:50:50,667
When I was little...
I was a total pyro.

806
00:50:50,667 --> 00:50:52,959
-I was too.
-Ooh!

807
00:50:59,667 --> 00:51:01,125
Put that out, man.

808
00:51:02,333 --> 00:51:04,625
-Put it out.
-Whoa!

00:51:13,625 --> 00:51:16,250
-Who are you people?
-I'm Shaun Brumder.

810
00:51:16,250 --> 00:51:18,458
You're going to help me
get into Stanford.

811

what happened here?
-Uh, just a fire.

825
00:52:25,208 --> 00:52:27,333
I don't know.
I came by and was...

826
00:52:29,375 --> 00:52:31,208
Checkin' out the fire.

827
00:52:31,208 --> 00:52:33,000
Well, that lady, Mona,

828
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,375
she said you two
were in the building
when the fire started.

829
00:52:35,375 --> 00:52:37,709
Yeah, she's a liar.
'Cause I don't know her.

830
00:52:37,709 --> 00:52:40,208
So, whatever-whatever
she says is a lie. So--

831
00:52:40,208 --> 00:52:43,333
-You're saying you weren't in
the building with that woman?
-No. Not I.

832
00:52:43,333 --> 00:52:48,041
All right.
She started it, all right?
Because, she was, like,

833
00:52:48,041 --> 00:52:50,750
"I hate my job!
I'm gonna burn
this mother down!"

834
00:52:50,750 --> 00:52:53,875
I said,
"You'd better not!
You'd better not!"

835
00:52:55,417 --> 00:52:57,625
-She said it was
an electrical fire.
-It was.

836
00:52:57,625 --> 00:53:00,083
It was a total electrical fire.
It was, like, uh,

837
00:53:00,083 --> 00:53:02,792
the switches had
sparks comin' out, and
the sockets and, uh--

838
00:53:02,792 --> 00:53:05,250
It was like
the fourth of July, man.

839
00:53:05,250 --> 00:53:09,875
-Why aren't you wearing
your pants, Joe?
-I tripped and, uh--

840
00:53:09,875 --> 00:53:12,750
Then I had to take 'em off
to run faster out of the flames.

Well, I was just tryin'
to help you, bro.

00:53:57,625 --> 00:53:59,458
By setting
the building on fire?

856
00:54:00,458 --> 00:54:04,959
-I was high.
-You're always high.

You think you're gonna create

I'm so sorry.

861
00:54:24,208 --> 00:54:25,667
I should've seen this coming.

862
00:54:27,166 --> 00:54:29,500
The one day I need my family
to come through for me,

863
00:54:29,500 --> 00:54:31,667
they end up doing
what they always do.

864
00:54:33,166 --> 00:54:36,166
My father goes ballistic;
my mother gets plastered

865
00:54:36,166 --> 00:54:38,500
and my brother
burns down a building.

866
00:54:38,500 --> 00:54:39,875
It's like they've
all come together

867
00:54:39,875 --> 00:54:43,375
in some evil conspiracy
to prevent me
from getting anywhere.

868
00:54:43,375 --> 00:54:47,333
-Is that what you think?
-What else am I supposed
to think?

869
00:54:50,458 --> 00:54:53,875
You know,
I really believed that you
wanted to go to Stanford

870
00:54:53,875 --> 00:54:57,166
because you wanted to study
with Marcus Skinner.

871
00:54:57,875 --> 00:55:00,667
That's not it,
is it?

872
00:55:00,667 --> 00:55:03,709
-What are you talking about?
-You want to run away.

873
00:55:05,208 --> 00:55:08,875
You want to be free
of everybody.

874
00:55:08,875 --> 00:55:11,667
You think by
coming up here, you're gonna
meet people that are...

875
00:55:11,667 --> 00:55:14,750
Smarter and saner...

876
00:55:15,542 --> 00:55:16,709
And better.

877
00:55:19,667 --> 00:55:22,375
You know, if you went
to Stanford, that'd be
the end of us.

878
00:55:24,917 --> 00:55:28,750
It doesn't seem to me
like that thought
ever crossed your mind.

-Oh, Ashley, come on!
-Shaun, I'm sorry you didn't
get into Stanford.

880
00:55:33,542 --> 00:55:35,667
But, if you think going here

881
00:55:35,667 --> 00:55:38,417
is the only way you can be
the person you want to be,

882

01:00:17,834 --> 01:00:20,667
-Your boyfriend?
-Yeah, Shaun.

960
01:00:20,667 --> 01:00:23,000
He's--
he's really talented.

961
01:00:23,709 --> 01:00:26,959
He wrote this great story

962
01:00:26,959 --> 01:00:29,834
about growing up
in Orange County.

963
01:00:29,834 --> 01:00:33,375
And it's just
really funny and smart.

964
01:00:33,375 --> 01:00:36,250
But, I mean, it really doesn't
matter what I think, so--

965
01:00:36,250 --> 01:00:38,834
-Why not?
-Ooh!

966
01:00:38,834 --> 01:00:42,333
[grunts, groans]

967
01:00:44,875 --> 01:00:47,709
[groaning]

968
01:00:47,709 --> 01:00:50,709
-Shaun?
-Hey.

969
01:00:50,709 --> 01:00:54,000
-What's up?
-Is this your boyfriend?

970
01:00:55,667 --> 01:00:59,208
-Ohh.
-What are you,
like, spying on me ?

971
01:00:59,875 --> 01:01:02,875
No!
I was just, uh--

972
01:01:02,875 --> 01:01:06,917
I was just up
on the balcony and, uh--

973
01:01:06,917 --> 01:01:09,208
Yeah,
I was spyin' on you. Ow.

974
01:01:09,208 --> 01:01:12,083
-And who's this?
-I'm Kip.

975
01:01:12,083 --> 01:01:16,250
[chuckles]
Yeah, Kip, let's go inside
where we can be alone.

976
01:01:17,917 --> 01:01:19,875
Oh, come on, Ash.

977
01:01:20,250 --> 01:01:21,417
Ashley.

978
01:01:27,709 --> 01:01:29,250
Ow.

979
01:01:58,291 --> 01:01:59,625
Mr. Skinner?

980
01:02:08,291 --> 01:02:10,792
-Hi.
-Hi.

981
01:02:13,083 --> 01:02:14,125
You're Marcus Skinner.

982
01:02:16,583 --> 01:02:20,792
-You're-you're
a good writer.
-Thank you.

983
01:02:37,125 --> 01:02:39,625
I'm obsessed with you,
Mr. Skinner.

984
01:02:39,625 --> 01:02:45,125
Um, not in a sexual way
or romantic way
or anything like that.

985
01:02:45,125 --> 01:02:50,000
Just, uh,
your writing.

986
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:53,709
I'm Shaun Brumder.
I wrote you a letter
a couple of months ago,

987
01:02:53,709 --> 01:02:56,000
and I sent you
one of my stories.

988
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:57,166
"Orange County."

989
01:03:00,125 --> 01:03:01,333
Yeah!

990
01:03:02,500 --> 01:03:04,667
Yeah, wait, uh-uh--

991
01:03:04,667 --> 01:03:06,875
-Did you read it?
-Oh, yes. Yeah.

992
01:03:07,625 --> 01:03:08,834
It was a great story.

993
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:13,667
I can't, uh--

994
01:03:16,417 --> 01:03:18,041
I'm sorry, uh--

995
01:03:19,375 --> 01:03:20,750
It's been a long day.

996
01:03:20,750 --> 01:03:26,834
Could you just say that--
what you just said--
just one more time ?

997
01:03:26,834 --> 01:03:29,417
It was a great story.
I really enjoyed it.

998
01:03:32,542 --> 01:03:34,583
[sighs]

999
01:03:36,041 --> 01:03:37,709
Mr. Skinner, uh--

1000
01:03:39,542 --> 01:03:42,166
Dude--
[stammers]

1001
01:03:42,166 --> 01:03:44,583
You have no idea
what that means to me.

1002
01:03:46,834 --> 01:03:50,166
[Shaun laughs]

1003
01:03:50,166 --> 01:03:54,542
The characters are unique--
well-drawn.

1004
01:03:54,542 --> 01:04:00,583
The mother-- drunk,
arguing with all the maids.

1005
01:04:00,583 --> 01:04:02,166
The brother
always passing
out everywhere.

1006
01:04:02,166 --> 01:04:06,625
And I love the girlfriend--
the bleeding heart animal freak.
She was my favorite.

1007
01:04:06,625 --> 01:04:09,917
Yeah, you really love
your characters. It comes
through in the writing.

1008
01:04:09,917 --> 01:04:12,250
[chuckles]
Well, thank you.

1009
01:04:12,250 --> 01:04:16,417
I-- I never really
thought about it that way.
[chuckles]

1010
01:04:16,417 --> 01:04:19,875
-My only criticism--
-Yes. Oh, please.

1011
01:04:19,875 --> 01:04:22,125
It's what I need.

1012
01:04:24,125 --> 01:04:28,250
-You need an ending.
-I know. I-I just--

1013
01:04:28,250 --> 01:04:31,709
-I don't know how to end it.
-You should figure that out.

1014
01:04:32,959 --> 01:04:34,125
Maybe I can help you.

1015
01:04:35,583 --> 01:04:39,125
Well, uh,
I didn't get into Stanford.

1016
01:04:40,792 --> 01:04:42,583
Yeah. So, uh--

1017
01:04:43,625 --> 01:04:45,417
So that means
I can't work with you.

1018
01:04:50,834 --> 01:04:55,792
[sighs]
I want to be a good writer,
Mr. Skinner.

1019
01:04:55,792 --> 01:04:57,917
But I'm just afraid

1020
01:04:57,917 --> 01:05:00,667
that if I don't get out
of Orange County,

1021
01:05:02,166 --> 01:05:04,625
it's never gonna happen.

1022
01:05:04,625 --> 01:05:08,792
You don't have to be
afraid of that, Shaun.
You are  a good writer.

1023
01:05:08,792 --> 01:05:13,125
And every good writer has
a conflicted relationship
with the place he grew up--

1024
01:05:13,834 --> 01:05:17,792
Joyce, Faulkner, Tolstoy.

1025
01:05:17,792 --> 01:05:19,667
And that's what I remember
loving about your story.

1026
01:05:19,667 --> 01:05:23,000
It's very conflicted.

1027
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:25,959
'Cause,
at the beginning, you think
these people are doomed.

1028
01:05:25,959 --> 01:05:29,375
I mean, this family is heading
for disaster, and then,

1029
01:05:29,375 --> 01:05:32,166
as you read on, you see
that that there exists,

1030
01:05:32,166 --> 01:05:34,375
beneath the surface,
these very real connections.

1031
01:05:34,375 --> 01:05:37,125
These...
Deep relationships.

1032
01:05:39,458 --> 01:05:42,959
[sighs]
What I took
from your story is this:

1033
01:05:44,500 --> 01:05:48,041
That even in a world where
people can be superficial

1034
01:05:48,041 --> 01:05:50,709
and stupid and selfish,

1035
01:05:51,667 --> 01:05:52,667
there's still hope.

1036
01:05:55,166 --> 01:05:57,792

-Shh. Who, who?

1052
01:07:06,917 --> 01:07:10,250
-Marcus Skinner.
I met Marcus Skinner!
-Shhh!

1053
01:07:10,250 --> 01:07:12,792
-What? Who?
Okay!
-The writer.

1054
01:07:12,792 --> 01:07:16,417
-He liked my story!
He liked my story!
-Shut up!

1055
01:07:16,417 --> 01:07:18,750
That's awesome,
but I am goin' to prison!

1056
01:07:18,750 --> 01:07:20,917
-What?
-Yeah, some cops
are right on my ass.

1057
01:07:20,917 --> 01:07:24,041
Now, listen. I've been
thinking about it. We are
goin' to Mexico, buddy.

1058
01:07:24,041 --> 01:07:26,458
-Right now!
Please?
-Oh, Lance.

We're leaving.

1062
01:07:36,250 --> 01:07:38,750
-But we got to get
Ashley first.
-No, I'm sorry.

1063
01:07:38,750 --> 01:07:40,792
No, that's not
in the cards, "bro-seph."

1064
01:07:40,792 --> 01:07:43,083
Listen, she'll be fine.
Just forget about her.

1065
01:07:43,083 --> 01:07:45,291
Some dude'll pick her up
and give her a nice bed
to sleep in.

1066
01:07:45,291 --> 01:07:47,583
-Lance--
-Okay!
We will go and get her.

1067
01:07:47,583 --> 01:07:51,625
But you gotta follow me,
'cause I am an expert
at "excaping."

1068
01:07:51,625 --> 01:07:55,458
Let's go. Fast "excape."
Fast "excapes"
are my expertise. Come on.

1069
01:07:56,458 --> 01:07:59,291
-Be careful.
-[grunts]

1070
01:07:59,291 --> 01:08:01,125

01:08:10,500 --> 01:08:15,333
Go get the Bronco, Shaun,
and come back for me.

1074
01:08:15,333 --> 01:08:17,959
Okay.
Dude?

1075
01:08:17,959 --> 01:08:21,333
-Promise me, dude.
-Yeah, I promise.

Duhhh.

The whole time I'm thinkin'
it's the alternator.

1078
01:08:30,500 --> 01:08:35,500
My brother says to me,
"No, bro, it's the carburetor,"
and it turned out he was right.

Ashley!

1082
01:08:44,333 --> 01:08:47,959
-Would you get in the car?
-I'm mad at you, remember?

1083
01:08:47,959 --> 01:08:51,583
I know, but can we talk
about it in the car, please!

1084
01:08:51,583 --> 01:08:54,166
Hey, you heard her.
'Kay, why don't
you leave her alone?

1085
01:08:54,166 --> 01:08:57,375
Hey, butt out, dude.
Ashley, get in the car,
right now. Get in the car.

1086
01:08:58,041 --> 01:08:59,041
No.

1087
01:09:01,709 --> 01:09:04,000
Shaun, apologize to her.
Tell her you're sorry.

1088
01:09:04,542 --> 01:09:05,375
I'm sorry!

1089
01:09:07,083 --> 01:09:10,000
Dude, come on.
Say it like you mean it.

1090
01:09:12,542 --> 01:09:13,875
Ashley.

1091
01:09:15,208 --> 01:09:16,875
I'm so sorry.

1092
01:09:19,041 --> 01:09:20,500
Now,
tell her you love her.

1093
01:09:22,709 --> 01:09:24,000
Tell her you love her.

1094
01:09:25,709 --> 01:09:29,750
I love you.
I love you so much.

1095
01:09:32,291 --> 01:09:35,250
Good. You love him.
He loves you. Now, get in...

1096
01:09:35,250 --> 01:09:37,250

Clearly, you're not an expert
on negotiations, so let me just
walk you through this.

1112
01:10:53,959 --> 01:10:56,542
You come in with a proposal
that's over the top.

1113
01:10:56,542 --> 01:10:58,667
You want a new gymnasium--
$40 million.

1114
01:10:58,667 --> 01:11:04,458
Then I counter with
a lowball offer like, uh, uh,
$2,000 for a medicine ball.

1115
01:11:04,458 --> 01:11:06,333
-[man] That is
absurd and offensive.
-What?

- It's offensive, sir.

-No, no, no-no-no--

1117
01:11:09,667 --> 01:11:11,583
- We already have
a medicine ball.
-No, you're not hearing me.

- No, sir, I believe it's you
