Transcript
00:00I'm sorry, um, please don't get upset. I don't normally threaten strangers, except when, you know, it's for a good cause.
00:24My name's Sam. You don't know me, but I know you. I thought I had watched every single one of my mom's tapes, but apparently not.
00:44I'm really not trying to pull anything here. All that I ask is that you watch till the end.
00:54How long were you together?
01:00Um, like a year.
01:04And what happened?
01:06Nothing really. I just realized we were different people who wanted different things.
01:12Were you in love?
01:16I think so.
01:18I think so.
01:20What was that like?
01:24You don't know.
01:26I passed!
01:36Barely.
01:38I said if I was your lover boy
01:44Nothing would hurt you anymore
01:48I said if I were to be your man
01:54I think I would hurt you...
01:58Oh my god. I went on the wrong.
02:00I said if I was your lover boy
02:04Oh my god
02:06Nothing would hurt you anymore
02:10I said if I had to be your man
02:12This is going to be so funny
02:21Sorry!
02:22If I were your life was a boy
02:39Here we go!
02:42Good job Casey
02:44If I was your lover boy
02:53Okay, so I'm still waiting on Jackson
02:55But I'm very excited
02:57Because today we finally started our big project
02:59And I've made a list of everything we need
03:01And we're going to the store right now
03:03To grab all the supplies
03:05Hello?
03:11Hey, are you close?
03:18Um...
03:19No, that's okay
03:23Uh, yeah, I'm sure it'll all fit in my car
03:26It's fine Jackson, I'll just see you when you get off work
03:31I never thought I'd be the type of person to care
03:49But...
03:51Now that it's July
03:53It's all starting to feel a little too real
03:55Like...
03:57All I've ever known is this town
03:59And...
04:00It's strange because it's not like I'm scared of what's out there
04:09Just feels...
04:11A little hard to let go
04:15And my mom told me that what I need is closure
04:20So...
04:21I think that this project is the perfect way to do that
04:24You making a movie?
04:25Oh...
04:26Um...
04:27Sort of
04:28And, uh...
04:29You're building something too?
04:30Sort of
04:31What are you sort of building?
04:33A tree house
04:34Really?
04:35Yeah
04:36That's actually really cool
04:37I'm, uh...
04:38I'm Hayden, by the way

04:57I'll see you around?
04:59Yeah
05:00Cool
05:01Yeah
05:02So I asked a guy at the store what kind of wood was best
05:06And he recommended pine
05:08So I bought a bunch of that
05:09My goal for the end of this week is to be at least finished with the base
05:13And I've been doing a lot of research these past couple days
05:16And honestly, it doesn't seem that complicated
05:20Hi
05:22Hi
05:28Need some help?
05:29Oh no
05:30No no no, I think I'm okay
05:32Are you sure?
05:33Cause I have the time
05:34Yeah
05:35Yeah, yeah, I think I got it
05:41So are you just hammering screws for fun?
05:43Or...
05:44Or...
05:45And uh, how exactly were you gonna build this without your boyfriend?
06:06I had no other choice
06:12Okay, well I mean...
06:13Like he wanted to, but he has to pay for tuition himself and he's been taking extra shifts
06:19And my friends are all working now too, so...
06:22Okay, and what makes you any more qualified than me?
06:28I've already built one
06:30With my dad when I was 12
06:32Wow
06:38Back in...
06:39Chicago
06:40Hmm
06:41Well, it must be nice having a dad whose main joy in life isn't accounting
06:46Yeah...
06:47Yeah...
06:48No...
06:49He...
06:50Was the best
06:51What's in here?
06:52Right here, yeah
06:53Okay, so let me get this straight, sorry I'm asking a lot of questions, but you guys just met each other last week?
07:05Yeah, pretty much
07:06Mm-hmm

07:39Uh, we both got in
07:41Of course you guys did
07:44And where are you going?
07:46I'm not sure yet
07:49Maybe Peru
07:51You're not going to college?
07:53I don't know, maybe
07:56I don't know how I'm supposed to know what I want to do with my life if I've never lived it
07:59Good
08:01Good
08:02Good
08:03Good
08:04Good
08:05Great script, everyone
08:06Good
08:11Good
08:13Oh, try but I can't tell
08:17It's just nobody else
08:20You said all good things must end
08:25Tell me they begin again
08:27I'm not sure
08:28I'm not sure
08:31I almost didn't move here with my mom, you know?
08:37I didn't think there was anything here for me
08:43Guess I was right
08:47Can you see that?
09:07Hey, oh, um, what are you doing here?
09:18Got off early
09:18Right, how was the shop?
09:22You know, it's okay
09:23And your dad?
09:25He's good, he says hi
09:26Hi, I'm Hayden, I've heard so much about you
09:30Jackson, thanks to you
09:32Uh, so what are you two up to again?
09:37Did you make sure to put a new tape in?
09:48Yes, of course
09:49Oh, gosh
09:52This is honestly really sweet
09:54I mean, it's the least I could do
09:56I know I've been working a lot lately
10:01No, no, Jackson, it's really okay
10:03No, it's really not
10:04I hate it
10:06I hate not being able to have lunch with you
10:10I hate not being able to kiss you goodnight every night
10:17I hate working late
10:19And I hate even more that this is how we had to spend our last summer year
10:22But
10:25I just
10:27Keep reminding myself that all of this is temporary
10:31Because then it becomes a forever with you
10:34I know it's not much
10:39But
10:39It's a promise
10:42So you're, like, married now?
10:57No
10:58It's a promise ring
10:59Well, congrats
11:02Really
11:04LA, like

11:15Like, nine million?
11:18It's, like, a lot of new people to meet
11:19Oh, God
11:21Well, when you put it like that
11:22No, no, no
11:23It's, like, exciting
11:24New friends
11:26New memories
11:27New possibilities
11:31Are you open to that?
11:36Uh, to new friends?
11:39Um, to new possibilities?
11:41I mean, I think I have to be
11:48Considering I leave in a week
11:50My dad
11:57Used to always say this quote
11:59Life is short
12:02And the world is wide
12:03Do you
12:06Really believe this is the only possibility for you?
12:11That was the last tape
12:22August 22nd, 2006
12:26Almost a year before I was born
12:29When my parents got divorced
12:35I was convinced that was it
12:38Love doesn't exist
12:40That was until
12:43I went into the attic last week
12:45Don't turn away from something
12:52People spend a lifetime looking for
12:53And
12:56I would tell Mom that
12:57But you and I both know
12:58That she'd just sit and think on it
13:00For another 15 years
13:01Either way
13:08I do hope you find your happy ending, Miss Riley
