00:00:00I can't stop thinking about it
00:00:24Being on my mind after all these years
00:00:28Can't stop my thoughts from racing toward it
00:00:33The time is drawing near
00:00:37I want to move forward but I keep jumping the track
00:00:48I'm trying my best to find the light through the cracks
00:00:53Scared I won't get there, there's no turning back
00:00:57Scene fades into black
00:01:02I can't stop thinking about it
00:01:11Being on my mind after all these years
00:01:16Can't stop my thoughts from racing toward it
00:01:20It's all becoming clear
00:01:25My heart is in motion, the energy flows
00:01:35Thoughts of yesterday stay with me wherever I go
00:01:39We're probing, we're chilling, we may never know
00:01:44I'm just trying my best to stay cold
00:01:49Class of 98
00:01:56Class of 98

00:02:20Theatre class
00:02:21Theatre class, junior year, oh my god Sean
00:02:23Wow
00:02:24It's been like
00:02:2520 years
00:02:26Exactly
00:02:27You look different, not like bad, different, good, different
00:02:33You look good
00:02:35I got rid of my eyebrow ring and you know my hair is not blue
00:02:38anymore
00:02:39So
00:02:40I thought that eyebrow ring was pretty cool back then
00:02:41Yeah, it was the late 90s, we all participated in tragic fashion
00:02:45I did make my mom go to Rivergate Mall and buy me a pair of jeans
00:02:48I did make my mom go to Rivergate Mall and buy me a pair of jeans
00:02:53Coz
00:02:55Oh
00:02:56Oh
00:02:57I got rid of my eyebrow ring and you know my hair is not blue anymore
00:02:58So
00:02:59I thought that eyebrow ring was pretty cool back then
00:03:00Yeah it was the late 90s, we all participated in tragic fashion
00:03:05I did make my mom go to Rivergate Mall and buy me a pair of jeans
00:03:09What was that play we did junior year?
00:03:32The Wind in the Willows?
00:03:35I was a villager
00:03:37and you were a tree.
00:03:39I almost forgot about that.
00:03:41I will never forget standing next to Jason Giegax
00:03:44like this for two hours.
00:03:46Like, why didn't we just build trees?
00:03:48Well, then it wouldn't have been the magic
00:03:50of a living forest on stage.
00:03:52You sound like Mrs. Herman.
00:03:54She was one of the better ones we had junior year.
00:03:57I remember that year I had fourth block lunch
00:03:59and I would sit with you and all the kids who smoked cloves
00:04:01and you'd talk about all these bands I'd never heard of.
00:04:03Yeah, I recall you visiting the alternative table.
00:04:08I thought you guys were so cool.
00:04:10You made me that mixtape.
00:04:12Yeah, you came up to me during theater class
00:04:15and you go, hey, I made this for you
00:04:16and then you just walked off.
00:04:18You remember that?
00:04:20Yeah.
00:04:21I wore that tape out
00:04:22and you didn't put the name of any of the bands on the liner.
00:04:25That's because I wanted you to search them out on your own.
00:04:28Like, go to the record store
00:04:29and listen until you figured out who they were.
00:04:35Goodbye.
00:04:37Lay the blame on love.
00:04:40Goodbye.
00:04:41Lay the blame on love.
00:04:44Love spit love.
00:04:46That's it.
00:04:46Yeah.
00:04:47I spent like a whole eight hours one Saturday
00:04:50at a media play listening station
00:04:51trying to figure out what band sang that song.
00:04:53When you did figure it out,
00:04:54didn't you feel like you were in a special club?
00:04:57You know, only certain people
00:04:59in this suburban wasteland are in the know.
00:05:04What?
00:05:05Nothing.
00:05:06What is it?
00:05:08I bet your book club is rad.
00:05:11It is.
00:05:12As a matter of fact,
00:05:14we're currently reading
00:05:15The Devil in the White City about H.H. Holes.
00:05:17While you enjoy a moderately priced Merlot and discuss.
00:05:21Actually, it is a Pinot Grigio
00:05:23and it is Trader Joe's brand.
00:05:26It's amazing.
00:05:26You're married, I see.
00:05:30I was,
00:05:32but this is actually the wrong hand.
00:05:36You?
00:05:38You know, I've been pretty work-focused.
00:05:40Dated around, but nothing really serious.
00:05:43What do you do for work?
00:05:44Medical sales.
00:05:46You look like you sell medical equipment.
00:05:50What's that supposed to be?
00:05:51You just look it.
00:05:52I mean, you look great.
00:05:53You look like a sharp-dressed man
00:05:57with something to sell.
00:06:00But also, like,
00:06:02you still hit the bar scene
00:06:04wherever you live
00:06:05and date women a little too young for you.
00:06:10Florida.
00:06:10Excuse me.
00:06:10I live in Panama City, Florida.
00:06:14Mm-hmm.
00:06:15And I do probably go out with women a little too young for me.
00:06:20So I was right.
00:06:21Yeah, you're like Zoltar.
00:06:23If I wish for it, can you make us young again?
00:06:25I can only go forwards, not back.
00:06:29Sorry.
00:06:30That's okay.
00:06:3216 was pretty awkward anyway.
00:06:34I was a 16-year-old sandwich artist.
00:06:37Oh, I remember
00:06:38because I worked at 31 Flavors
00:06:40and you traded me
00:06:41a foot-long cold-cut combo
00:06:43with extra pickles
00:06:44for a pint of bubblegum ice cream.
00:06:46And then they fired me.
00:06:48Shit!
00:06:48I didn't know that happened.
00:06:49I'm sorry.
00:06:50It's not your fault.
00:06:51Listen, when you live a life of danger,
00:06:53you're bound to get burned.
00:06:54Or, in my case, iced.
00:06:56You were always good at taking one for the team.
00:07:00So you got kids?
00:07:02No, not unless you count my dog.
00:07:03Oh, thank Christ you're not a cat lady.
00:07:05Cats are creepy.
00:07:06I know.
00:07:07My mother always said
00:07:07like a cat will smother a baby
00:07:09with its paw.
00:07:12Like Heathcliff or Garfield
00:07:14would kill your child.
00:07:15Bye, y'all.
00:07:19What about you?
00:07:21Well, none that I know of,
00:07:22but I also travel a lot for work,
00:07:24so, you know,
00:07:25that's a joke.
00:07:27No kids, never.
00:07:33Hey, Sean!
00:07:34What's up, buddy?
00:07:37How's it going, man?
00:07:38Oh, can't complain, man.
00:07:40You know, my insurance company
00:07:41is killing it this year,
00:07:43so I decided to treat myself.
00:07:45Got a new boat.
00:07:46Whoa.
00:07:46Mastercraft X-22.
00:07:48That's awesome.
00:07:50Congratulations, man.
00:07:51Yeah, just grinding, man.
00:07:52Oh, uh, who is this?
00:07:54Is this your girl?
00:07:55Hi, I'm Scott.
00:07:58Yeah, I know.
00:07:59We went to high school together.
00:08:01Did we?
00:08:02We did.
00:08:03Weird.
00:08:05I do not remember you at all.
00:08:09Did you used to be, like,
00:08:10really fat or something?
00:08:13Scotty, go to the car.
00:08:14Oh, shit, I gotta bounce.
00:08:15Hey, it was so good to see you, buddy,
00:08:17and good to meet you again,
00:08:19or, you know,
00:08:20congrats on your weight loss journey.
00:08:23Oh, my God, I can't wait to do well.
00:08:25Do you want to get out of here
00:08:27and go get a drink somewhere?
00:08:29So much.
00:08:30Let's go.
00:08:33If that happened before we went in,
00:08:35what?
00:08:36Once in a time.
00:08:37Yeah.
00:08:37I can't do it.
00:08:38It's like...
00:08:40It looks like the box in Hellraiser.
00:08:42Give me a thought,
00:09:06I won't give you a dime
00:09:07with what I think about
00:09:08how we gotta be free
00:09:09and if we're gonna be free
00:09:10it really must be.
00:09:12From the root of our essence.
00:09:22So...
00:09:22I...
00:09:23Sorry, go ahead.
00:09:26I forget what I was gonna say.
00:09:31So, what have you been up to
00:09:34since high school?
00:09:3620 years.
00:09:37Give me the greatest hits summary.
00:09:40I went to college.
00:09:42I partied a lot
00:09:43and then I started working.
00:09:45How did you land in sales?
00:09:47I sold candy.
00:09:49So, more Willy Wonka
00:09:51than Willy Loman.
00:09:53Oh, that's a good one.
00:09:56It's bad.
00:09:57I'm sorry.
00:09:58I actually sold chocolate bars
00:10:00with and without almonds.
00:10:06Welcome to Boby Dickies.
00:10:07Are you guys good?
00:10:10Can I get you anything?
00:10:12Shots?
00:10:13Is it that kind of night?
00:10:1520 years of catching up.
00:10:1620 years of catching up.
00:10:17I feel like we could benefit from them.
00:10:20Two double shots of whiskey
00:10:22and two beers.
00:10:25Wow.
00:10:26You got it.
00:10:30So, what about you?
00:10:32Nothing exceptionally exciting.
00:10:33I thought you'd do something super cool
00:10:36like your own artisanal brand of soap
00:10:38that you sold for $20 a bar.
00:10:40No, not even close.
00:10:43Can I get some details?
00:10:45I took two years of art history classes
00:10:48at community college
00:10:49and I married my boyfriend.
00:10:51We moved away for a few years,
00:10:55got divorced
00:10:56and I moved back home
00:10:58and now I manage a restaurant.
00:11:01That's cool.
00:11:04Just holler if you need anything.
00:11:09One, two, three.
00:11:15It burns.
00:11:18That was a good burn, though.
00:11:19Tastes like Scott Brown's house.
00:11:21You know, the liquor we used to steal
00:11:22from his parents' liquor cabinet?
00:11:23That you refilled with tea?
00:11:24Is there any other way?
00:11:26I always wondered
00:11:27why didn't parents ever say anything?
00:11:29I think it's one of those whole
00:11:30like it's better for them to party here
00:11:32rather than be driving around.
00:11:34I thought it was the age of boxed wine
00:11:36at my mom's house.
00:11:37I could always get a little bit out of that box
00:11:39without her noticing.
00:11:41Oh, God.
00:11:42We did drive around drinking, didn't we?
00:11:45Yep.
00:11:46Whoever wasn't drinking
00:11:47would drive to Denim and Diamonds teen night
00:11:49and then just slam Everclear
00:11:50in the parking lot.
00:11:51I never went to Denim and Diamonds.
00:11:53No, you weren't missing much.
00:11:54Just teenagers chain smoking
00:11:56and line dancing.
00:11:57Oh, that sounds hilarious.
00:11:59They just like openly let
00:12:00a bunch of drunken teenagers
00:12:02just dance.
00:12:04It was the late 90s.
00:12:05Nobody cared.
00:12:06I guess so.
00:12:09It's a haunted house now.
00:12:11Denim and Diamonds.
00:12:12I mean...
00:12:13Really?
00:12:13It's nationally ranked top ten
00:12:16and everything.
00:12:16It's a big deal.
00:12:18It is.
00:12:20No, I believe you.
00:12:21It's just...
00:12:22It's funny because it's this place
00:12:24that in my head
00:12:24was the place from high school
00:12:26and now it's just like
00:12:27a haunted house.
00:12:29You don't realize
00:12:30how much things are changing
00:12:32and then one day you look around
00:12:33and it is all different.
00:12:36Yeah, well, lucky for me
00:12:37I'm leaving before you can destroy
00:12:39any more of my adolescent memories.
00:12:40When do you leave?
00:12:42Tomorrow morning.
00:12:43You came back
00:12:45for the reunion for one day?
00:12:47That's some school spirit.
00:12:49I felt like I needed to be here.
00:12:50Plus, we might not have another one.
00:12:52True.
00:12:53And I haven't been home
00:12:54since my parents moved.
00:12:56Well, allow me
00:12:57to be your tour guide.
00:12:59The Pizza Inn
00:13:00is a hipster coffee shop
00:13:02and the old grocery store
00:13:05is a trampoline park
00:13:06and the old video rental
00:13:09slash tanning place
00:13:11has just been sitting
00:13:11empty for years.
00:13:13What?
00:13:15No Captain Video and tanning?
00:13:16I know.
00:13:17It's like where we grew up
00:13:18is a ghost of itself.
00:13:21You know what hasn't changed
00:13:23at all?
00:13:24My bedroom.
00:13:27It's like a time capsule.
00:13:28Even the posters
00:13:29on the wall are the same.
00:13:31My mom didn't touch a thing.
00:13:36You want to see?
00:13:37Your childhood bedroom?
00:13:41Yeah.
00:13:43My mom lives
00:13:44a half mile from here.
00:13:46Sure.
00:13:48You ready?
00:13:50I am down for adventure.
00:13:51I'm just going to put this
00:14:00in my pocket.
00:14:02It's called a roadie.
00:14:06That's walkie.
00:14:07No.
00:14:07Oh lover
00:14:23Where did I lose you?
00:14:30Where did you go?
00:14:49We're all lonelier.
00:14:52Sex.
00:14:53Guys.
00:14:54Shh.
00:14:55My mom probably falls
00:14:56there's no recounts
00:14:56waiting up for me.
00:15:02We're just trying to get by
00:15:04Take it a day at a time
00:15:07Cause we're all lonelier
00:15:10We're all lonelier
00:15:14We're all lonelier
00:15:17We're all lonelier
00:15:21I'm going to have to explain to her
00:15:28that I didn't even make it
00:15:30inside the reunion
00:15:31Just make something up
00:15:33Shana Davis looked great
00:15:35but she gained a little weight
00:15:36and also her kids
00:15:37just won the state tournament
00:15:38for the under 12 soccer team
00:15:40for the Hendersonville Fever
00:15:41That's the real
00:15:42suburban gothic stuff
00:15:44Does yours do the same?
00:15:46Nah
00:15:46My mom's way into
00:15:48my sister's life
00:15:48I think I'm kind of
00:15:50a lost cause at this point
00:15:51with the whole
00:15:52no marriage
00:15:52no kids thing
00:15:53Yeah but
00:15:54most people get married
00:15:55before they even know
00:15:56who they are
00:15:56and then they end up
00:15:58divorced
00:15:58You waited it out
00:16:01so when you do get hitched
00:16:02it'll probably be
00:16:03for the long haul
00:16:04Hitched?
00:16:06Tie down
00:16:07Take the plunge
00:16:09Betrothed
00:16:10I never liked
00:16:10the slang of it all
00:16:11What would you prefer?
00:16:13I don't know
00:16:13It just all sounds so
00:16:14permanent
00:16:15It's supposed to be
00:16:18by design
00:16:18Yeah but I mean
00:16:20why does it have to be anything?
00:16:21Why do we have to have a label?
00:16:23Because it shows commitment
00:16:24and most people our age
00:16:27want that kind of commitment
00:16:28otherwise whenever the other person wants
00:16:30they can just leave
00:16:31Well is that what happened to you?
00:16:34No
00:16:34We just
00:16:35grew apart
00:16:37because that happens
00:16:38when you get married too young
00:16:39I'm just saying
00:16:45People get divorced
00:16:47at an alarming rate
00:16:48People that see men
00:16:50for each other
00:16:50Brad Pitt and Angelina
00:16:52Johnny Depp and Winona
00:16:54Guy Ritchie and Madonna
00:16:56all divorced
00:16:57They don't count
00:16:59How's that?
00:17:00Because it's hard enough
00:17:01being married as a regular person
00:17:03much less as a celebrity
00:17:04What about Kurt and Goldie?
00:17:06What about them?
00:17:07Well they've been together forever
00:17:09and they aren't married
00:17:09Exceptions to every rule
00:17:12Also they made Overboard together
00:17:14so they can never be apart
00:17:15Arturo and Katarina
00:17:17Exactly
00:17:18That movie was on TBS
00:17:22the summer of 92
00:17:23just continuously
00:17:24That and Saved by the Bell reruns
00:17:26Holy shit
00:17:27that's a lot of collectibles
00:17:29I was really into collecting stuff
00:17:31when I was a kid
00:17:32Is there a Beanie Baby graveyard
00:17:34under this bed?
00:17:35No
00:17:35There might be a little
00:17:37Caesar's Pizza Pizza Finger Puppet
00:17:39Are those all the California Raisins?
00:17:43All the ones issued by Hardee's
00:17:45I was a weird kid
00:17:46I was really into figurines
00:17:48and collectible glasses
00:17:50I mean it's weird
00:17:52but honestly I'm impressed with you
00:17:54Oh that Alvin and the Chipmunks class
00:17:57I got when I was 8
00:17:58on my way to Chicago
00:17:59to visit my Gigi
00:18:00Oh and that Smurfs one
00:18:01my dad got me
00:18:02on a work trip to Vermont
00:18:05Your dad went to Vermont
00:18:06and all he brought you
00:18:07was this amazing Smurfs class?
00:18:09Yeah something like that
00:18:11What's a Gigi?
00:18:12My grandma
00:18:13What do you call yours?
00:18:14Memaw
00:18:15Oh that's very southern of you
00:18:18Oh
00:18:19So when did you go from avid collector
00:18:24of fast food memorabilia
00:18:26to the clove smoking theater girl
00:18:28I met in high school?
00:18:291994
00:18:31Reality Bites came out on VHS
00:18:35and I watched it all summer on repeat
00:18:38He's so cheesy I can't watch him without crackers
00:18:41That's everybody's favorite line
00:18:43What's the best line?
00:18:44It's all about that soundtrack
00:18:46I got that for my birthday
00:18:47and then that led to cloves
00:18:49and Donut Shop Hanks
00:18:51The Donut Shop?
00:18:53Yeah
00:18:54I remember that place
00:18:56Is it still there?
00:18:57Yeah
00:18:58But they turned it into a vape shop
00:19:00That's the most depressing circle of life
00:19:03I've ever heard
00:19:04I know
00:19:05If you're gonna smoke just smoke
00:19:06I agree
00:19:07I agree
00:19:08You wanna know what my favorite one is?
00:19:13More than anything
00:19:18This guy?
00:19:20I found him behind the Hendersonville 8
00:19:23You mean the movie theater
00:19:24where our parents used to drop us off
00:19:25but we really just were gonna go behind it
00:19:27and smoke cigarettes?
00:19:29It was the first moment
00:19:31where I remember feeling like
00:19:33I wasn't always gonna be some little kid
00:19:36I had my first kiss that night
00:19:40with Mike Pope
00:19:42He held my hand until my parents picked me up
00:19:46And then what happened?
00:19:47We dated for two weeks
00:19:48and then he dumped me for Keely Masters
00:19:51because she already had boobs
00:19:53But the kiss was nice
00:19:55I felt special that night
00:19:58Like I was going somewhere
00:20:01and someone had left this
00:20:03like a souvenir for me
00:20:05I have an idea
00:20:09What?
00:20:11You just have to trust me
00:20:14Here we go
00:20:16With your kids
00:20:19I don't know
00:20:20I can't see you
00:20:22You just have to trust me
00:20:24guitar solo
00:20:54I can't believe I saw the devil's advocate at a megachurch
00:21:05Yeah, now it's just a bunch of screens all broadcasting the word of God
00:21:10Huh
00:21:11Should we dare?
00:21:14What?
00:21:16Go run back, rip a dart
00:21:17A dart?
00:21:19A cigarette
00:21:20I never heard that one before
00:21:23And I would love to, but I don't smoke anymore, so I don't have any
00:21:27Well, lucky for you, someone thought ahead
00:21:30Are you a smoker?
00:21:32No, no, no, only when I drink
00:21:33But I figured with the awkwardness of a reunion, I might have a few
00:21:36I shouldn't
00:21:39I hate to peer pressure you, but we're here
00:21:42And I have these, so
00:21:44Okay, yes
00:21:48Man, I forgot how fun cigarettes are
00:21:58I just got a buzz
00:21:59This place was like a club in junior high
00:22:04Everyone hung out here
00:22:05No matter what clique you were in
00:22:08On Friday nights, we all belonged here
00:22:10I got in my first fight here
00:22:13Eddie Scharf hit a kid from beach with his skateboard
00:22:16Whoa, like gleaming the cube?
00:22:18And Fran Lawrence drank a beer that some high school girl gave her
00:22:23But it was just pee
00:22:24It was somebody's pee
00:22:26No way
00:22:27Fran?
00:22:28Wasn't she the dance team captain?
00:22:30In high school
00:22:31In junior high, we were the same
00:22:33She was always mean to me
00:22:36I hung on to her drinking that pee as a solid memory
00:22:40Who was that kid who peed her pants during Candyman?
00:22:43Oh, that was my cousin Terry
00:22:44Shut up
00:22:45I can't, it's true
00:22:47I never think about any of this stuff
00:22:51Why?
00:22:53They were good times
00:22:54They were
00:22:55It's just
00:22:57You grow up and
00:22:59You compartmentalize things, I guess
00:23:02Well, you're smiling
00:23:03Maybe you need to remember them
00:23:06I couldn't tell you the difference
00:23:08In any of the last five Christmases I had
00:23:11Even though they were all so different
00:23:13In different cities, different people
00:23:15I don't even know anymore
00:23:16But now, I can picture everything that happened here
00:23:21We used to not worry about anything
00:23:24Except what movie we lied about seeing
00:23:26Yeah
00:23:27We used to be young
00:23:28Now we gotta worry about dying
00:23:30Or our parents dying
00:23:32It's so weird watching our parents age
00:23:35It's like they're going backwards to little children
00:23:37We should get better as we get older, not worse
00:23:41The other day, out of nowhere
00:23:44My mom got super cold
00:23:46Her blood pressure skyrocketed
00:23:48And her meds didn't kick in for like an hour
00:23:50And all I could think while I was getting her a blanket and water
00:23:54Was that I was just completely helpless
00:23:56I couldn't fix it
00:23:59She's okay now though, right?
00:24:04Yeah, as soon as her meds kicked in
00:24:06She calmed down
00:24:08I think I was even more freaked out than she was
00:24:12I'm not ready to be the grown-up
00:24:15Last Christmas
00:24:19For the first time I had to help my dad set up the Christmas tree
00:24:22I'm sitting here and I'm looking at this guy
00:24:25Who was the biggest, strongest guy I ever knew
00:24:28And he couldn't, he couldn't set up a 50 pound tree
00:24:31That's good that you could help him
00:24:35He didn't want me to
00:24:37When we got done, he went and he sat down outside
00:24:40And he just looked like defeated by life
00:24:43Like I embarrassed him or something
00:24:46God, what if we have to put them in homes someday?
00:24:51No, I can't do it
00:24:52I'll just hire someone
00:24:54I'll take care of her myself
00:24:56She would hate a stranger helping her
00:24:58Maybe the whole not having kids thing makes us feel young
00:25:03Like if we had kids, we'd feel more adults
00:25:06Yeah, that seems to do the trick for most people
00:25:09I could still have kids
00:25:11I'm over 35, mine would be a geriatric pregnancy
00:25:16Wow, that's dark
00:25:18Yeah, I know
00:25:19God, it scares the shit out of me, Gold
00:25:22Why?
00:25:24Because one day I'm going to wake up
00:25:25And I'm going to be old
00:25:27And I won't even have anybody to help me set up a tree
00:25:29Let's make tonight one of those go-down-in-the-books nights
00:25:39Let's do something that we wanted to do more than anything when we were 14
00:25:44I think we might have different definitions on that
00:25:48What did you always want to do?
00:25:50I wanted to take Jesse Spano to the max
00:25:52You?
00:25:53I wanted to host Alternative Nation
00:25:55And then I interview Gavin Rossdale
00:25:58And then he falls madly in love with me
00:26:00The lead singer of Bush?
00:26:03Yes, yes he is
00:26:04I checked that CD out from the public library and wore it out
00:26:08Glycerine!
00:26:11What about the junior parking lot?
00:26:13The kids still hang out there?
00:26:15I don't know
00:26:16I never did
00:26:18Well then we should go
00:26:19They might think we're someone's parents
00:26:21Yeah, it'll be awesome
00:26:23I can see you
00:26:26Sitting down talking about
00:26:31Crosstown kids
00:26:35I can see you
00:26:41Sitting down talking about
00:26:45Are you excited?
00:26:49Beyond belief
00:26:50It's smaller than I remember
00:26:52What do we do?
00:26:54We just talked and sat on cars
00:26:56And occasionally someone looked old enough to buy beer
00:26:58Basically dazed and confused
00:27:00There was this one guy
00:27:02He came junior year
00:27:03And he had like a full mustache
00:27:04And he always had beer
00:27:06And then one day he was just gone
00:27:07He sounds like a narc
00:27:09That's what we thought
00:27:10I wish we had a tailgate
00:27:14And then it would be
00:27:15The true junior parking lot experience
00:27:18Done
00:27:30Now all we're missing is the booze
00:27:33You are full service tonight
00:27:46Yeah, well if I learned anything being an Eagle Scout
00:27:49It's always be prepared
00:27:50You were an Eagle Scout
00:27:51I was
00:27:52With merit badges and all?
00:27:5521
00:27:55Wow
00:27:56Yeah, I mean basically
00:27:57I'm a MacGyver
00:27:58Could you make me a splint
00:28:01If I broke my arm?
00:28:02Easy
00:28:03Give me something hard
00:28:04Birdhouse
00:28:05I can do that without power tools
00:28:07Like just my bare hands
00:28:09Boating
00:28:09I've had my boater's license
00:28:11Since I was 15 years old
00:28:12I am impressed
00:28:14That might be the first time
00:28:16A female has ever been impressed
00:28:18By my Eagle Scouting
00:28:18No way
00:28:20It's hard to believe, right?
00:28:21Are you like
00:28:30Looking for someone?
00:28:33Like who?
00:28:35Like your kid
00:28:36Why do you ask?
00:28:39Because you're like
00:28:39Old?
00:28:43How old do you think we are?
00:28:45Like
00:28:4640
00:28:47This kid's an asshole
00:28:49Do we look 40?
00:28:52Yeah
00:28:52Do we?
00:28:54Like you got a house
00:28:56And a dog
00:28:56And then called it adulting
00:28:58Yeah, well
00:29:01We are not 40
00:29:02Okay
00:29:03Well you certainly
00:29:04Fucking look like it
00:29:05Are you
00:29:07Cops?
00:29:10Yeah

00:29:12She's my partner
00:29:13We're on the beat
00:29:14To bust dickheads
00:29:14For smoking vape pens
00:29:16Okay
00:29:16I actually just got back
00:29:18From wilderness camp
00:29:19And it was really hard
00:29:20For me to quit
00:29:21And this is just
00:29:21A momentary thing
00:29:22It's just a little slip
00:29:24What is your name?
00:29:26Apple
00:29:26Like
00:29:27Coldplay's kid?
00:29:30No, like Fiona
00:29:30That's
00:29:32Okay
00:29:32That's pretty cool actually
00:29:34If I ever had a kid
00:29:37That smoked out of a weed pen
00:29:38I would be
00:29:39Embarrassed
00:29:40Yeah
00:29:40Why don't you guys smoke weed
00:29:42Like you're supposed to
00:29:43In high school
00:29:44Out of an apple
00:29:45Or like a can
00:29:46That you poke too many holes in
00:29:47And you suck some seeds through
00:29:49Pleasure talking to you
00:29:52Tonight

00:30:22It's happening
00:30:23I don't feel 38
00:30:25It feels like it took so long
00:30:27To grow up
00:30:28Now it just
00:30:29Flies by
00:30:30I was gonna be editor
00:30:33Of Jane magazine
00:30:35Or like
00:30:35Start a band
00:30:37I did not dream
00:30:38Of slinging chicken wings
00:30:39I don't wanna buy anything
00:30:41I don't wanna sell anything
00:30:42And I don't wanna
00:30:43I don't wanna process anything
00:30:44What?
00:30:46Say anything
00:30:47It's what Lloyd Dobler
00:30:49Says to dad
00:30:49When he asks him
00:30:50What he wants to be
00:30:51When he grows up
00:30:51And look at you now
00:30:53Top salesman
00:30:55Of
00:30:56Insulin pumps
00:30:57And compression socks
00:30:59So uh
00:31:02When are you gonna start that band?
00:31:07Can't fight this either
00:31:08I can't see her
00:31:10Till I'm foaming
00:31:12At the mouth
00:31:13Side B track 3
00:31:14Veruca Salt
00:31:15Veruca Salt

00:31:19Oh yeah?
00:31:20Two dollars
00:31:21On a Tuesday
00:31:21It'd be great
00:31:22What about you?
00:31:25Oh I can't sing for shit
00:31:26Oh dummy
00:31:27I mean
00:31:27What were you gonna be
00:31:29By 38?
00:31:29I don't think I had any idea
00:31:32What I wanted to do
00:31:32When I grew up
00:31:33Successful sales guy
00:31:36Could be worse
00:31:38True
00:31:39And you
00:31:41You run like a whole restaurant
00:31:44Is it an Applebee's?
00:31:47Nope
00:31:47It's local
00:31:48I'm a local
00:31:50Working at a local restaurant
00:31:52Kind of exactly where I was
00:31:54In high school
00:31:54Although the only difference
00:31:56Is that now
00:31:57I have made it
00:31:59To the junior parking lot
00:32:00With the cool kids
00:32:01I wish it wasn't Applebee's
00:32:05Then we could have
00:32:05All you can eat riblets
00:32:07So what's our next stop?
00:32:13How about your restaurant?
00:32:16What time is it?
00:32:1811.30
00:32:1812
00:32:19Sorry sir
00:32:21We're closed for business
00:32:22Till Monday morning
00:32:23At 10
00:32:24The thing is
00:32:25I think I know someone
00:32:26Who has the keys
00:32:27Nope
00:32:28She left us at the house
00:32:29We could go back
00:32:30And get them
00:32:31I want to see this chicken shack
00:32:33Come on
00:32:33Yeah
00:32:34I really don't want you to
00:32:35What's the issue?
00:32:36I don't go there
00:32:38On my days off
00:32:38So
00:32:39Come on
00:32:40It'll be fun
00:32:41We'll have a good time
00:32:42It's a restaurant
00:32:43Wait
00:32:43Why do you want to go?
00:32:44What are you like
00:32:45Mocking me?
00:32:46I mean what the fuck?
00:32:47Oh wait
00:32:47Of course not
00:32:48I'm just interested
00:32:50I'm sorry
00:32:52We could go
00:32:57Anywhere else
00:32:58I mean anywhere you want
00:33:00In the whole town
00:33:02DCAC
00:33:04The batting cages?
00:33:06And putt-putt
00:33:07And go-karts
00:33:07And things
00:33:08Really?
00:33:09That's where you want to go?
00:33:11Yeah
00:33:11I spent a lot of time there
00:33:12As a kid
00:33:13We used to take our bikes
00:33:13From Art Artcina's house
00:33:15It was really cool
00:33:15Alright
00:33:17Let's do it
00:33:19My own eyes say
00:33:32The brighter days ain't through
00:33:35Tell me where's that sunshine
00:33:43In the blue sky
00:33:46Looks like it hadn't been touched since the 90s
00:33:48We should go play
00:33:54We should go play
00:33:55It's probably hot
00:34:00What are you doing?
00:34:04You coming or am I going to play baseball by myself?
00:34:09You coming or am I going to play baseball by myself?
00:34:13Wait
00:34:13Wait
00:34:14Wait
00:34:15Have you ever thrown a baseball?
00:34:28I played softball when I was 11 so I think I can handle it
00:34:33Okay
00:34:34Whoa
00:34:37Oh shit
00:34:38A little tight there wild thing
00:34:40I was warming up
00:34:41Still got it
00:34:51Don't make me throw the good stuff
00:34:54Just easy and down the middle
00:34:56Walk off homer
00:35:00So you were pretty good
00:35:02I was pretty average
00:35:04How so?
00:35:06Well
00:35:06I was always pretty good at everything
00:35:08Shit
00:35:10But I was never great at anything
00:35:14What?
00:35:24You don't think you're great at anything?
00:35:26No
00:35:27There has to be something
00:35:29I'm good enough
00:35:31I always made the team
00:35:33Made good enough grades
00:35:34But I never hit the home run in the ninth
00:35:36So I already disappoint
00:35:37You're not disappointing
00:35:39Thanks
00:35:41You're welcome
00:35:43Remember when I was 13
00:35:45We had this pretty big tournament
00:35:47And we got put out early
00:35:48And I told my mom to pick me up here
00:35:50See my mom hated baseball
00:35:52So she never came to any of the games
00:35:53Even in high school?
00:35:55She came to the big ones
00:35:56I'd run out of all the money I had by 5pm that day
00:35:59So I just kind of hung out
00:36:01Until they closed at 7pm
00:36:02And then I went outside
00:36:03And I sat on the curb
00:36:04And I waited for her
00:36:04She was 30 minutes late
00:36:07When she picked me up
00:36:09I got in the car
00:36:09And she said
00:36:10Well did you win?
00:36:11And I said no
00:36:12And she said
00:36:14You're not great at baseball
00:36:16You're okay
00:36:18But you're not great
00:36:20She didn't say that
00:36:22She did
00:36:24And a few Christmases ago
00:36:26She said
00:36:27Well I just told you that
00:36:28Because I didn't like baseball
00:36:29And I didn't want to have to sit
00:36:30And watch it all the time
00:36:31She told me that
00:36:34Trying to get me to quit
00:36:35But you didn't quit
00:36:37Nope
00:36:39But I never asked for a ride again either
00:36:41Rode my bike
00:36:43Well
00:36:45Until I saved up enough money
00:36:46Bagging groceries at HGLs
00:36:47To buy a car
00:36:48I just didn't want to feel like a burden to her
00:36:53You know
00:36:54What do you mean?
00:36:58After she said that I
00:36:59I just didn't want to ask for anything from anyone
00:37:05You know?
00:37:06Is that weird?
00:37:09No
00:37:09You were just trying to figure it out
00:37:12And you were 13
00:37:13Which is maybe the most awkward point of adolescence
00:37:18She's a good mom
00:37:20She just didn't like baseball, you know?
00:37:24My mom was at everything
00:37:26She made up for your mom
00:37:27Every time I started anything new
00:37:30Dance, music, painting
00:37:33She was always there
00:37:34She was front and center
00:37:35That's pretty cool
00:37:37Yeah
00:37:38I didn't think so then
00:37:40But I do now
00:37:42You got one more ball
00:37:49Bottom of the ninth?
00:37:52Yep
00:37:52Bases are full
00:37:54Loaded
00:37:55Bases are loaded
00:37:56You know what I mean
00:37:57I do
00:37:58I do
00:37:59You ready?
00:38:02Almost
00:38:02Second base
00:38:21Third base
00:38:23Yes
00:38:25And he does it
00:38:27The crowd goes wild
00:38:29The hero
00:38:30So, uh
00:38:34Was that my moment?
00:38:37I don't know
00:38:38The night is young
00:38:39It's like 11
00:38:41The sun's not up
00:38:45So we still have time
00:38:47For what?
00:38:49Whatever we want
00:38:50What do you want?
00:38:56This
00:38:57I'll send some run-down batting cages
00:39:00Basically
00:39:02I still have one place I want to see
00:39:06Then where would that be?
00:39:09We gotta cut through the woods
00:39:10It's the first school I ever attended
00:39:12Me and the whiskey
00:39:14The whiskey is me
00:39:17All the time
00:39:20Keep with the drinking
00:39:23Just to ease my mind
00:39:27This time the whiskey
00:39:32Put the poison right into me
00:39:38Where are we?
00:39:43Everything I ever learned
00:39:44I learned when I was 6 years old
00:39:46Doing David Deaton karate
00:39:47Can you break a board?
00:39:50You make a fun of me?
00:39:52No, not at all, karate kid
00:39:53You wanna see what this place did for me?
00:39:56Show me
00:39:57Is that you?
00:40:02That's me when I was 6 years old
00:40:03You are not 6 in this picture
00:40:06I am
00:40:07You're the size of a 10 year old
00:40:09How much did you weigh?
00:40:12I don't know
00:40:12A lot
00:40:13It's like you
00:40:15You stayed the same weight
00:40:17You just got a foot taller
00:40:18Pretty much
00:40:19They trained you so hard
00:40:22You lost the weight
00:40:23I guess when I was a little kid
00:40:24I was kind of a pain in the ass
00:40:26So to get me to shut up after school
00:40:27My mom would take me to fast food
00:40:29And after a year of that
00:40:30I thought I looked like that
00:40:32Wow
00:40:33That's my first day in training
00:40:36I ended up becoming a brown belt
00:40:39How close is that to black?
00:40:41It's one away
00:40:41Why didn't you get the black belt?
00:40:44I don't know
00:40:44You were so close
00:40:46You should go back and finish
00:40:48There's a lot of things I never finished
00:40:50That I should go back and do
00:40:51There's a lot I never started
00:40:53This place gave me discipline
00:40:58Well
00:40:59That
00:41:00And you can only be called a fat ass
00:41:02So many times
00:41:03Before you do something about it
00:41:04All you needed was a strip mall dojo
00:41:07And people say bullying is bad
00:41:10I was a runner
00:41:12Were you fast?
00:41:14The fastest
00:41:15Then the boys caught up to me
00:41:18And it wasn't so cool to beat them anymore
00:41:19Aw that's horse shit
00:41:21I felt like I could fly
00:41:22I bet you could
00:41:23You were fat
00:41:25I was a gangly kid
00:41:27And boys love to make fun of the tall girl
00:41:30But it is hard to make fun of her
00:41:31If she can outrun you in every race
00:41:33And I could beat all of them
00:41:34Until one day
00:41:36I couldn't
00:41:37What happened?
00:41:39Sixth grade field day
00:41:41We lined up for the hundred
00:41:42And for the first time ever
00:41:43I got beat
00:41:44By Joshie Mallard
00:41:46What?
00:41:47No rematch?
00:41:48Never
00:41:49I just stopped
00:41:50And tried really hard
00:41:52Not to get noticed after that
00:41:53Did it work?
00:41:57Maybe too well
00:41:59So
00:42:06You gonna break a board for me
00:42:09Or what?
00:42:09Psst
00:42:10You ready?
00:42:21These hands are lethal
00:42:22They are lethal weapons
00:42:24Okay
00:42:25Die!
00:42:31I missed it!
00:42:32Hold on
00:42:32Are you ready?
00:42:34Yes
00:42:35God, I love karate
00:42:43That's badass
00:42:45Why are there so many movies about karate in the 80s?
00:42:50Aside from The Karate Kid?
00:42:53You kidding me?
00:42:54No
00:42:54Um, Best of the Best
00:42:56American Ninja
00:42:57The Last Dragon
00:42:58All three karate kids
00:43:00There's three?
00:43:01You know part one
00:43:02Part two
00:43:03Daniel Sun goes with Mr. Miyagi to Okinawan
00:43:05Fights Chosen
00:43:06Part three
00:43:06A reluctant Daniel LaRusso
00:43:08Fights karate bad boy Mike Barnes
00:43:10In the All Valley
00:43:11Wow, you really love karate kid
00:43:13It's the first movie I remember seeing
00:43:16You know, I know like I had seen other movies before that
00:43:19But it's the first one I vividly remember
00:43:21Mine was Footloose
00:43:23Oh
00:43:24Did you ever get like so angry
00:43:26That you drove your VW Beetle
00:43:28Into like a grand silo
00:43:29Blasting moving pictures
00:43:30Aw, close
00:43:32I had a Volvo station wagon
00:43:34And I was blasting Portishead
00:43:36That tracks actually
00:43:38You think one day we're gonna like romanticize all that alt rock
00:43:43And think it's the greatest thing ever
00:43:45Like our parents did 70s music
00:43:46Like the Eagles?
00:43:48Exactly
00:43:48The Eagles suck
00:43:50So does Steve Miller Band
00:43:51I'll drink to that
00:43:52You know who else is overrated?
00:43:54Radiohead
00:43:54Shut your mouth
00:43:56What?
00:43:57I'll give you the first three albums
00:43:58But after that it's just noise
00:43:59Kid A
00:44:01Came out after OK Computer
00:44:03And it is magnificent
00:44:05I'm just saying
00:44:06I personally would much rather listen to Third Eye Blind
00:44:09Now I'm annoyed
00:44:11I said I like the first three albums
00:44:13I am dead
00:44:13Okay
00:44:14I'll give you the first four
00:44:15Amnesiac is their fifth album
00:44:18And it is great
00:44:19Okay
00:44:20Now I have clearly touched a nerve
00:44:23And I'm sorry
00:44:24Truce
00:44:26Should we go?
00:44:43Sunrise on the football field?
00:44:45You want to Instagram it?
00:44:48I think it's a fitting end for the night
00:44:50Okay
00:44:53Let's go make a yearbook photo op
00:44:56I had to take him back to the dojo
00:45:11All this time there was never a girl that got you?
00:45:14Well there was one a long time ago I thought did
00:45:16What happened?
00:45:17Did you ever see that movie The Mist?
00:45:18Never heard of it
00:45:19This movie came out in 07 about this mist that comes through this small town and inside the mist are all these humongous bugs
00:45:21I don't do bugs
00:45:22I don't do bugs
00:45:23I hate them
00:45:24Anyway most of the movie takes place in the supermarket where all the townspeople have like held up and they're waiting for the army to get there and save them
00:45:33But eventually they're going to get there and save them
00:45:35But eventually they're going to get there
00:45:36All this time there was never a girl that got you?
00:45:37Well there was one a long time ago I thought did
00:45:39What happened?
00:45:40Did you ever see that movie The Mist?
00:45:41Never heard of it
00:45:42This movie came out in 07 about this mist that comes through this small town and inside the mist are all these humongous bugs
00:45:46I don't do bugs
00:45:47I hate them
00:45:49I hate them
00:45:50I hate them
00:45:51I hate them
00:45:52I hate them
00:45:53I hate them
00:45:54I hate them
00:45:55I hate them
00:45:56I hate them
00:45:57I hate them
00:45:58I hate them
00:45:59But eventually they realize they have to fight and save themselves
00:46:00So what she didn't like bugs either?
00:46:01I don't know but she didn't like the movie
00:46:02And so we're riding home in the car and she's talking all about this like bougie new restaurant she wants to go to
00:46:05And I just like I jokingly say I know this great place
00:46:10This like real mom and pop place
00:46:13And she asked me in all earnesty she says well what is it?
00:46:17And I say
00:46:19Outback
00:46:21No rules just right
00:46:23Yeah
00:46:24And then she pulled the car over and she looked at me with this like really disappointed look
00:46:31And she said I can't do this
00:46:35And I said well there's a Chili's
00:46:37Good one
00:46:38Good one
00:46:39And then she said something that I just never quite been able to shake
00:46:43What did she say?
00:46:45She said it's not your fault you're simple
00:46:49And you remind me that I don't want to be
00:46:53Who'd want to be with someone as simple?
00:46:59Her loss
00:47:00She did like pumpkin spice lattes
00:47:01Ugh

00:54:09guitar solo
00:54:39I miss this place.
00:55:08Yeah?
00:55:09Yeah, I didn't know it then, but we had it made in high school.
00:55:15We really did.
00:55:16Everything was so hopeful.
00:55:19We could be anything we wanted to be.
00:55:23Senior Manchin's class was right there.
00:55:26I love that class.
00:55:27It was so cool.
00:55:29That was Coach Harold's class.
00:55:31He taught geography.
00:55:32When we studied early America, he just put far and away on the TV.
00:55:36Why can't you say you like me hot shining?
00:55:44That's all we got.
00:55:47So what are we going to do now?
00:55:48I love it in here.
00:56:02I used to come in here anytime I got overwhelmed with all the shit that is high school.
00:56:08You never seemed to care about all that stuff.
00:56:14Are you kidding?
00:56:15I was a teenager.
00:56:17I cared so much what people thought about me.
00:56:21I felt like everybody could see all my insecurities.
00:56:24Me too.
00:56:26I still feel that way sometimes.
00:56:27It's like, did I dress right for tonight?
00:56:29It was a whole hour process of me trying to figure out what a wealthy person would dress like.
00:56:35Don't think I wasn't about to have a full-blown panic attack walking into that reunion.
00:56:40Why do we sound like scared teenagers?
00:56:42We're supposed to grow out of that.
00:56:44Instead, it just morphed into the adult version.
00:56:46Yeah, I think at our age that that's just what wine and antidepressants are for.
00:56:57What?
00:56:58You still take pictures?
00:57:01Not in a long time.
00:57:03It's not as cathartic now that everything's digital.
00:57:08I liked going in the darkroom.
00:57:10It was fun to watch things develop.
00:57:14You keep albums of your stuff?
00:57:15No, I ended up getting rid of all of them.
00:57:17You said your mother keeps everything.
00:57:20Yeah, I got rid of them.
00:57:21Except for one.
00:57:22It's really the most basic thing I've ever shot, but she has it hanging up in the entryway of the house.
00:57:28Well, what is it?
00:57:30It's a viewfinder.
00:57:32Like a red one from the 80s?
00:57:35Yep.
00:57:36Why that?
00:57:38I had one when I was a kid, and I just loved it so much.
00:57:41And no matter where I was, I could always be somewhere else whenever I wanted.
00:57:48I had this one wheel that I got at the Mountain Mall in Gatlinburg, and it had all of these different places from New York City.
00:57:56Like it had the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty.
00:58:01Sounds cool.
00:58:02Yeah, and then when I was five for my fifth birthday, I got a light bright, and I didn't even care, because I just loved my viewfinder so much.
00:58:10I carried it with me everywhere.
00:58:13And my mom hid it, because she thought I was codependent on it.
00:58:18Did you find it?
00:58:19I didn't.
00:58:22But I saw one one day at the thrift store junior year.
00:58:25It didn't work.
00:58:26It was pretty beat up, but there was just something about it that was really beautiful to me, so I took a picture.
00:58:34Why did you keep that picture out of all of them?
00:58:36Because I won the photography award at the art fair.
00:58:41And then I gave it to her for Mother's Day, and she had to put it up.
00:58:45Savage.
00:58:46Savage.
00:58:49You ever think about taking pictures again?
00:58:52Sometimes.
00:58:54If you're good at something, you should do it.
00:58:56It doesn't matter about the money.
00:58:59I think you're right.
00:59:01Take it from me.
00:59:02I am a painter.
00:59:07What?
00:59:10Let's get in.
00:59:12Now?
00:59:14Why not?
00:59:19Okay.
00:59:19If you've ever heard of you, I won't connect you to someone else.
00:59:33So much that you lose all of your own identity.
00:59:49Hang on to yourself.
00:59:55Don't let it.
00:59:58How do you feel?
01:00:00We broke into DCAC, the high school.
01:00:03We swam in the pool.
01:00:05I don't think I could be any more of a rebel if I tried.
01:00:08Oh, that's good.
01:00:12How do you feel?
01:00:13Like I had a really good time, and I wish it wasn't going to be over.
01:00:20Yeah, me too.
01:00:23It's too bad you don't live here.
01:00:24We could do this any time.
01:00:27I would really like that.
01:00:31You might get sick of hometown hangouts.
01:00:33Nah, I love parking lots and cheap liquor.
01:00:35What happens when we run into one of your old buddies and they want to know why you're with me?
01:00:42I mean, we were in different circles.
01:00:44We never really hung out except we're in theater class.
01:00:47We should have.
01:00:52I'm only like an hour away.
01:00:53We can hang.
01:00:57I could get you into my book club.
01:01:02That's worth the drive itself.
01:01:03I knew the book club would seal it.
01:01:05I knew the book club would seal it.
01:01:07I knew the book club would seal it.
01:01:10One more stop.
01:01:15Lead the way.
01:01:18I think I got it.
01:01:25Where it all began.
01:01:29Like this, for two hours.
01:01:35I can't believe my night ended up here.
01:01:43God, I haven't been in here since graduation.
01:01:46It feels like yesterday.
01:01:47It does tonight.
01:01:50All of this, everywhere we've been tonight, this has been perfect.
01:01:57The only thing that could have made this any better is if Fright Night was happening.
01:02:01I never went to that.
01:02:03Oh my God, it was the best.
01:02:04I had t-shirts and everything.
01:02:06I would literally kill for one of those t-shirts.
01:02:08Did you dance at Fright Night?
01:02:11Well, no.
01:02:13Dance a little?
01:02:14I don't think I even danced at prom.
01:02:16I went to prom with a 23-year-old who worked at the donut shop.
01:02:21Oh, I didn't dance at prom.
01:02:23Because my date got so wasted in the parking lot,
01:02:25she spent the whole night in the bathroom throwing up, and I had her home at 10.30.
01:02:29A real gentleman.
01:02:30So, um, neither one of us even slow danced at prom?
01:02:39Or the reunion?
01:02:40Oh, wow.
01:02:52Whoa.
01:02:52Who is this?
01:03:07You have to go to media play to figure that out.
01:03:11Mm-hmm.
01:03:12Should we?
01:03:13Yeah.
01:03:17I'm really bad.
01:03:19Mm-hmm.
01:03:21Hey.
01:03:21I'm sorry.
01:03:23Fuck.
01:03:24I think it's like this.
01:03:25Okay.
01:03:33Okay.
01:03:34Come on.
01:03:35Mm-hmm.
01:03:36Yeah.
01:03:39Yeah.
01:03:39I got it.
01:03:40Mm-hmm.
01:03:41Mm-hmm.
01:03:42Mm-hmm.
01:03:43Mm-hmm.
01:03:46Woo!
01:03:46Woo!

01:04:12Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!
01:04:12You all can't be in here.
01:04:42Do you know how many laws you broke tonight?
01:04:46How many?
01:04:47A lot.
01:04:48Brenda, I got this.
01:04:50I'm being supportive.
01:04:51Look, we talked about this.
01:04:54Professionality at work.
01:04:55I just...
01:04:56I mean, look, we're really, really sorry.
01:04:59Hmm.
01:05:00Well, you broke into a public school.
01:05:03You had booze on school property.
01:05:05What the hell were you thinking?
01:05:06How did you even know we were in here?
01:05:08You set off a silent alarm.
01:05:11Okay.
01:05:12I don't remember that being here.
01:05:16What?
01:05:17You didn't think that maybe in the last 20 years HHS would update their security system?
01:05:23Pickles!
01:05:24No one calls me that anymore, Sean!
01:05:26That's Interim Vice Principal Dewey to you.
01:05:29Don't you remember this guy?
01:05:30He wore, like, Big Johnson shirts every day to school?
01:05:33And he tried to break the Guinness World Record for most pickles eaten in one sitting.
01:05:37It is you!
01:05:39Didn't he have to go to the hospital?
01:05:42Yes.
01:05:44I did have some slight gastrointestinal issues that required a very brief hospital visit.
01:05:52Did you win?
01:05:53Win what?
01:05:54The pickle contest.
01:05:55The pickle record.
01:05:56No.
01:05:57I did not.
01:05:58And I haven't touched one since.
01:06:03You think this is funny?
01:06:08No.
01:06:09No, ma'am.
01:06:10No.
01:06:11Brenda, why don't you go out front and wait for the police to arrive?
01:06:14But I'm security.
01:06:15I'm supposed to maintain the perimeter.
01:06:18I think we'll be okay.
01:06:29Are you two, like, a thing?
01:06:32Do you know how much trouble I could get you both in?
01:06:35Tonight was our reunion.
01:06:38I know.
01:06:39I was there.
01:06:41Oh, I mean, we didn't actually make it inside.
01:06:46Yeah.
01:06:47You missed a good time.
01:06:50I totally understand letting the emotions of a class reunion get to you.
01:06:55But you can't break into a school with alcohol.
01:07:00The HPD are sending out a unit to make sure you didn't vandalize any school property.
01:07:04And if you did, I'm going to press charges against both of you.
01:07:07We didn't.
01:07:09Okay.
01:07:12I'm going to walk around this entire school.
01:07:15So if there's anything you want to tell them, let's just come clean now, okay?
01:07:19This quick to do.
01:07:20Drop police are on the scene.
01:07:2210-4.
01:07:24Come on, Pickles.
01:07:25Aren't we blowing this whole thing out of proportion?
01:07:28You two kids stay here.
01:07:31I'm going to go greet the law enforcement.
01:07:36What's going to happen to us?
01:07:40Fine at most.
01:07:41Thanks again for tonight.
01:07:42Are you kidding me?
01:07:43I should be thanking you.
01:07:45And thank you for not judging me for not being who you thought I was going to be.
01:08:02That's just you.
01:08:17It was always just you.
01:08:20Back then and tonight, I was just too scared to ask you out.
01:08:26I've been thinking about what might have happened for 20 years.
01:08:32I didn't go to that reunion tonight to see anybody else.
01:08:37I went to see you.
01:08:39But you were exactly who I wanted you to be.
01:08:43I love this song.
01:09:03Side B track three.
01:09:05What?
01:09:06What?
01:09:07This song is on side B and it's track three of that tape you made me junior year.
01:09:12How do you remember that?
01:09:17I told you I wore it out.
01:09:19You're not simple.
01:09:31I think you're perfect.
01:09:36I think you're perfect.
01:10:06The song is a cryoprene Ρ‚Ρ€ΠΈ.
01:10:18My brain is wet.
01:10:21I keep calling you.
01:10:26I break a sweat.
01:10:31I've been following you, yeah, my brain is wet.
01:10:47If I had to find someone, I'd find someone like you.
01:10:54If I had to find someone, I'd find someone like you.
01:11:09Trying to win the battle, when you're not sure.
01:11:17What the game, what the game is.
01:11:29Maybe I'll just go home.
01:11:38If I had to find someone new, I'd find someone like you.
01:11:45If I had to find someone new, I'd find someone like you.
01:11:56If I had to find someone new, I'd find someone like you.
01:12:05If I had to find someone new, I'd find someone like you.
01:12:23If I had to find someone new, I'd find someone like you.
01:12:29If I had to find someone new, I'd find someone like you.
01:12:38If I had to find someone new, I'd find someone like you.
