00:00About a year ago, me and my friend started a band called Fothermucker.
00:03And I know everybody who's in a band thinks they're cool, but people actually say we're not terrible.
00:08I mean, we write our own songs and everything.
00:10I actually think that Fothermucker could be a great American rock band.
00:13I really do think we have it in us.
00:15Anyway, that's why I decided to bail on college.
00:17You got accepted to a college, but you're not going to go?
00:19Well, it's official. I declined your offer, and there's no going back now.
00:22Your parents are okay with that?
00:23You think I told my parents?
00:25They still think you're going?
00:26Look, all college was going to be was a distraction for the band, dude.
00:28That's got to be the most Charlie thing you've ever done.
00:30If you've got a plan B, it means you're not fully committed to plan A.
00:34Now, I know some kids are going to go to fancy colleges.
00:37Hey, wait!
00:37Some will go to work.
00:39Hold up!
00:40And some have no clue what they're going to do.
00:42Hey! Come on, let me in!
00:44Okay, here's the situation.
00:46In one week, we graduate high school, which gives us one summer to make the band happen.
00:50After that, we all go our separate ways.
00:53So, are you coming to Pete's party tonight?
00:55Why are you asking me to go?
00:56I just mean, you know, my band's playing, so.
00:58I don't listen to that type of music, sorry.
01:01Then why did you write, never stop shredding?
01:05There.
01:06Fixed it.
01:07I'm going to lose my father brothers, which would seriously suck, because I don't want to
01:11make music with anybody else.
01:13My boy Neil's in the band, too.
01:15He sings and plays guitar and believes everything in moderation, including moderation.
01:20What do you think you're doing, Mr. Crosby?
01:22Does it look like I'm doing, Mr. Marcus?
01:23Get up here, right now, before you fall off the roof.
01:28Come on, let's go.
01:30You know I'm a non-conformist, Mr. Marcus, right?
01:32Give me that.
01:33Is that right?
01:37Give me that.
01:38Neil?
01:38Give it to me.
01:39Give me that.
01:39You've got to stop smoking this stuff.
01:43If I catch you again, you're not going to graduate, okay?
01:46You won't catch me.
01:47And then there's Topher, our lead guitarist.
01:50Captain of the golf team, going to Princeton next year.
01:53He thinks he's got it all figured out.
01:54Or at least his girlfriend, Amanda, does.
01:57Dude, how many times does Amanda text you?
01:59You've gotten like 17 texts.
02:01We've been here for like 20 minutes.
02:02Well, she's trying to get me this internship at a private equity firm.
02:05Airplane mode, I don't know.
02:06Fuck.
02:07She's incredibly on the ball, dude.
02:09Sounds to me like she's on both of them.
02:11Of all of us, Topher probably has his shit the most together.
02:15Our drummer, Pete, on the other hand, does not have his shit together.
02:19I mean, Pete can't even find his shit.
02:21He's not the best drummer, but he's got a big heart,
02:24he's funny as shit, and he's always got your back.
02:27Yo, I'm telling you, my parents are in Bermuda for the weekend.
02:31I got two kegs coming, Bender's bringing an assload of weed.
02:36Wait, it's third period now?
02:38Fuck, fuck, fuck!
02:43Truth is, the only thing I'm going to miss is Sophia Kinney.
02:49She's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.
02:53But the thing is, that's just like the surface.
02:56Mom died in middle school when her dad started drinking,
02:58so everyone's always kind of tiptoed around her.
03:01She's the president of, like, six clubs.
03:04That's actually how I fell in love with her.
03:05Third week of freshman year, I accidentally walked into chess club.
03:09You know, it'd be pretty rough if you lost this game right now.
03:22I'm just waiting for the other members
03:23getting a head start on my strategy for the day.
03:27Cool.
03:28Are you here for chess club?
03:31Chess club?
03:32Um...
03:33I actually started last week, but it was kind of a soft launch,
03:36so I'm anticipating more members in the weeks to come.
03:38So, you know, don't be freaked out that it's just me.
03:40There will be more people.
03:41Yeah.
03:42Welcome.
03:43Chess!
03:44All right.
03:45Um, let's mate.
03:46I mean, checkmate.
03:48Let's, uh, let's play some chess.
03:50You know how to set up your side, right?
03:51Yeah, of course.
03:51Okay, cool.
03:52Let's just forget it.
03:52For the next three hours, she beat me senseless.
03:56But she took such care and compassion in trying to teach me.
03:59I just sat there listening to the speed in which her brain worked.
04:02Her kindness towards me, even with me never fully understanding it.
04:06She never got annoyed.
04:07She was all sunshine.
04:08And I knew in that moment, I would risk it all for her.
04:12I've been trying since then to get her attention,
04:14but I can't really get her to see me.
04:16I'm determined that that's going to change this summer.
