01:32These are your high school course selection sheets, students. Choose wisely. The poor decisions you make today will haunt you forever.
01:42The last week of the last year of junior high.
01:45We get to pick our own classes? I'm doing music.
01:48Theater arts? A whole class of just acting? I love high school.
01:53I'm just gonna take all the burnout classes. Homeck? Check. Shop? Check. Gym? Double check.
02:00Well, isn't that too bad? I'm sure you'll all miss each other.
02:04How do you mean?
02:06You've all been in the same class since the seventh grade, but the high school is made up of feeder schools from all over town. And if you're picking different subjects, well, you may never see each other again.
02:17We were about to be mixed up, like bingo balls in a tumbler. This wasn't the start of something. It was the end of everything.
02:25Can't wait to get out of this hole.
02:26Don't count your chickens. Your mathematics examination is tomorrow. And study up this time, mister. You should be in grade 11 by now.
02:34He's gonna pass.
02:36Oh, I hope so. Trust me. I don't want either of you in my class again.
02:44Mr. Critch, a moment, please.
02:50I'm afraid you're the class valedictorian.
02:53You mean I got the best grades?
02:55Calm down, Einstein. You beat Tina by 3%. You're the best of a bad lot.
03:00But you'll have to make a speech. And you've got the gift to gab, at least.
03:05I'm honored, sister. I think I'll start off with, like, a little joke. Maybe do my what if Mr. T was Canadian bit. Mr. A.
03:13Spelt E-H. From the A-team, spelt E-H.
03:16You'll do no such thing. The archbishop will be there. Just say what you've learned. I'll be approving your every word.
03:24I will not be censored. Lenny Bruce went to jail for the chameleons...
03:27The valedictorians can't fail. Do the speech my way, and I'll push you through, no matter how badly you flunk the math exam.
03:37Pleasure doing business with you, sister.
03:42I racked my brain to think of something, anything I had learned in school.
03:46Look at you, reading the paper.
03:48I'm just checking out the real estate ads.
03:50Why are you looking at real estate ads?
03:51I just wanted to see what's going on.
03:56Are you moving out? Can I have your room?
03:58What do you want to take his room for?
04:00Nobody's moving out.
04:02You work next door. What would you want to move out for?
04:05Well, I was just thinking with Linda and the baby and all, I could probably use the space, right?
04:11I didn't know what I learned in school, but my brother never learned when to shut up.
04:15We don't want you wasting your hard-earned money on rent.
04:18You guys are okay with her staying here, then?
04:19God, no. We don't want a baby ball in the house, bad enough for pop.
04:22And where am I going to go? You want to put me into a home?
04:26We're not going to put you in a home. We can't afford it.
04:28Look, Mike, if you do decide to move out, I'll support you.
04:32Not financially, but, you know.
04:35Thanks, Dad.
04:39What?
04:40Looks like you're going to be the one looking for a place to live.
04:43You will have 20 minutes to finish your exam, children.
04:49Give it.
04:50I suggest you use your time wisely.
04:57Pass it.
04:59Pass it.
05:00I'll be taking that, Missy.
05:04Wouldn't want you tempted.
05:05One last thing to confiscate before you walk off into obscurity.
05:11A souvenir, if you will.
05:14And you.
05:15Move your desk up here next to mine.
05:20Ahem.
05:20Ahem.
05:20It was impossible.
05:41Fox's brother had finished ahead of everyone, with five minutes to spare.
05:46Pencils down.
05:47Mr. Critch, kindly collect the papers.
05:49Her tutoring had paid off.
05:56Fox's brother was...
05:58You didn't finish.
06:00I was the first finished.
06:02You didn't do the back.
06:03Nobody said to flip it over.
06:06Nimrod.
06:08You've got to let him finish.
06:09I do not.
06:10That's not fair.
06:12Life isn't fair, Missy.
06:13And besides, if it's even Steven you're after,
06:16it wouldn't be fair to the other students if I gave your brother extra time.
06:19We have to stay together, sister.
06:21I'm sure you will.
06:22There's already one of you in jail, and I'm sure the rest are soon to follow.
06:25How do you have to be so mean?
06:30Fox was right.
06:32It wasn't fair.
06:33And Sister Rose was also right.
06:35Neither was life.
06:36And in entertainment news, officials announce that August will see the largest concert in Newfoundland history
06:42when we're visited by popular entertainer Rodney Stewart.
06:46Now here's Dick Dunphy with the trap.
06:49Mike?
06:49Yes?
06:50Yeah?
06:51Mr. Murphy approved your request.
06:54Cool.
06:55Thanks, Gertie.
06:56What request?
06:58He asked to move into the basement apartment.
07:00Of our house.
07:01It's a company house.
07:03That'll do it, Gertie.
07:05Why'd you go over my head like that?
07:06Dan, you know I need my own space.
07:08You do what Linda does.
07:10It's the same thing.
07:12That's something sweet.
07:15I should go check the switchboard.
07:19Dan.
07:20Look, I'm not even really moving out.
07:22I'm moving under.
07:24You're moving too fast.
07:25Dan, I need to make my own way.
07:27I don't want to be living with my parents for the rest of my life.
07:30I did.
07:31You said I had your support.
07:33You did.
07:34You do.
07:36Mrs. Loggins, you're doing what's best for you.
07:39She's what's best for me.
07:50So how's the speech coming along, Mr. Churchill?
07:53Terrible.
07:54Well, the cat's never got your tongue before.
07:56It's just, I don't know what Sister Rose wants me to say.
08:00Oh.
08:00Well, no wonder you can't write it.
08:05It's got to come from the heart.
08:07Right, let me see it.
08:10Oh, what a scribble.
08:12Ah, here.
08:13We come here as children, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
08:17An education rooted in faith.
08:22Suck up.
08:22We chose to go to high school, not because it's easy, but because it's hard.
08:33Paraphrasing Kennedy.
08:35Eh?
08:35Mm-hmm.
08:36You know, they shot Kennedy.
08:37Ah!
08:38Don't!
08:39All right.
08:46What's the first thing that comes into your head when you think of that school?
08:50My friends.
08:52Mm-hmm.
08:52What about them?
08:55How I'm not going to see them much anymore.
08:58And how I'll miss them.
08:59So write a speech about that.
09:03Sister Rose said it had to be about something I learned.
09:06So what?
09:07Look, if you've learned something from your friends, then say that.
09:11The school wants me to...
09:13The school is a factory.
09:17You'll learn way more outside of its walls than you ever will inside of them.
09:22I mean, you already have.
09:23You're a young man now.
09:30Far too big to be sharing a room with an old man.
09:34That's not true.
09:36If I learned anything from anyone, he was from you.
09:40I mean, you don't want your own room.
09:41I mean, isn't that a bit weird?
09:45Well, I am the only kid who shares a room with his grandfather.
09:50Hmm.
09:51But I wouldn't want it any other way.
09:55Honest.
10:10Night, Pop.
10:11Oh, good night.
10:13Oh, Lord, I need to pee.
10:19I'll study nuclear science.
10:30I love my classes.
10:32I've got a crazy teacher who wears dark glasses.
10:35Things are going great.
10:37And they're only getting better.
10:41Yeah, I'm doing all right.
10:42Getting good grades.
10:44The future's so bright.
10:45I've got to wear shades.
10:47I've got to wear shades.
10:50Shades, shades, shades, shades, shades, shades.
10:53Welcome to the class of 89, spiritual retreat.
10:57Okay.
10:58Who's got a dream that they're going to make come true?
11:01I want to be a comedian.
11:02Okay, cool.
11:04Uh, not the most realistic, though, right?
11:08Advertising is a good career.
11:10Okay.
11:10Who else has a dream?
11:12I want to be a musician.
11:13I hear music teacher.
11:15Huh?
11:15Fox, how about you?
11:17I don't care.
11:19No dreams.
11:20No regrets.
11:21I love it.
11:22Yes.
11:23Very cool.
11:24All right.
11:25Let's break into groups.
11:27Trust exercises.
11:28You're all going to bond so hard right now.
11:31This is going to be great.
11:32Now, you're going to take turns falling back into each other's arms.
11:37Just give in to it.
11:41You trust me?
11:42Not at all.
11:44Don't worry.
11:44I got you.
11:47And fall!
11:52You said that I could trust you.
11:54You can't trust someone just because they say you can, idiot.
11:58He's not wrong.
11:59Are you okay?
12:00I'm fine.
12:01I...
12:01You gave him a concussion.
12:03I better take him to the fountain to get some water.
12:05No, I hope he doesn't sue.
12:07Come on.
12:10Guess I should sit down?
12:12Suck it up, wuss.
12:13I got somewhere to be.
12:20Mike.
12:21You shouldn't have her carrying stuff.
12:22The doctor said moving around will make it come faster.
12:25You don't want it coming until you got somewhere to put it.
12:28Man, you can bring the baby here whenever you want.
12:30Mrs. Cridge, what was it like when Mike came?
12:35Oh, I called Mike's father at the station.
12:38He said he couldn't come because he was on the air, so he sent Dick to drive me to the hospital.
12:45Dick Dunphy.
12:46It was a different time.
12:48You know what?
12:50I'm going to be there.
12:51Oh.
12:56Ow.
12:57Ow.
12:57Linda.
12:59Oh, no.
13:00No.
13:02Mike, run up and get my keys.
13:03Is it?
13:04Is it?
13:04Ah.
13:05Don't let Dick Dunphy take me.
13:08Sweet break.
13:08Half-done, half-wit.
13:23Half-wit.
13:23What the hell?
13:49What the hell?
13:53Pass.
13:58This place looks kind of pretty at night.
14:07Go.
14:08Go, go, go, go, go, go.
14:09Hurry.
14:09Quick.
14:09Quick.
14:10Okay.
14:10If I hadn't been a coward, I could have kissed her.
14:25We always remember the chances we didn't take.
14:28Okay, come on.
14:30Fox, just...
14:32There's something I want to do before you blow this pop stand.
14:35Where'd you get those?
14:36They're the priests.
14:37Took them off them when you were bouncing your head off the floor.
14:39You're going to get us expelled.
14:46Just breathe.
14:47I'm scared.
14:49Hey, hey, it's okay.
14:50You're doing great.
14:51You're doing...
14:51Just breathe.
14:53Hang on a minute.
14:54Are you family?
14:59Yes.
15:02Go on.
15:07Don't do that.
15:08I need to get something.
15:09What do you possibly want in there?
15:12Three years' worth of stuff she confiscated.
15:16You can't take that.
15:18She took it from me.
15:19It's mine.
15:22And this is Richie's.
15:24It's not fair that you took it.
15:25Can we please go now?
15:26I'm going to tell that old dad exactly what I think of her.
15:28I think I'm going to pass out.
15:36There's one more place I want to go.
15:40Oh, my God.
15:41She's perfect.
15:53Just like you.
15:55Hey.
15:55What do you want?
16:04Can I help you?
16:08I'm Jeff.
16:09I'm the...
16:10Uh...
16:11Father.
16:14Oh, I see.
16:18So, who are you?
16:24I'm just the boyfriend.
16:26Out.
16:27Family only.
16:28I think it's up to Linda who that is.
16:36It's okay.
16:40Yeah.
16:41He's got no right.
16:57He has every right.
16:58It's not up to you.
16:59It's not up to you either.
17:01It's up to Linda.
17:04How could she let him in there?
17:07He doesn't get to just walk back now and...
17:09What?
17:11One day,
17:14you are going to be a wonderful father.
17:17And maybe that's today.
17:19Maybe not.
17:21But whenever that day comes,
17:24and whoever that child is,
17:28is going to be the luckiest kid in the world.
17:32Hmm?
17:34Oh.
17:34We're not supposed to be up here.
17:50Which is exactly why we should be up here.
17:52Someone's going to hear that.
18:04Marv, chill out.
18:06No one else is here.
18:08Hello?
18:09Stop.
18:10Let me try.
18:13No way.
18:15Do it.
18:15You're going to be up there tomorrow.
18:25Figure out what you're going to say yet.
18:26No.
18:30Go figure something out.
18:32You always do.
18:37Not like you, though.
18:39Watching how you held everything together with your mom and your brother,
18:43it's...
18:43It's really something.
18:45At least someone noticed.
18:51I can't believe it's almost over.
18:54You still got high school.
18:57It's just beginning, Fox.
18:58Call me, Jennifer.
19:10So...
19:11What was it that you wanted to do up here that was so important anyway?
19:20Yes.
19:21Yes.
19:28The most important thing I learned at St. Bridget's was a lesson in love.
19:40Look.
19:41I'm so proud of you.
19:42O.D.
19:43Thanks.
19:44Showtime.
19:45I knew what Sister Rose wanted me to say,
19:47but I still didn't know what I wanted to say.
19:50I was about to give a speech, and I was speechless.
19:53And now, to bring greetings from the class of 1989,
19:57Valedictorian Mark Critch.
20:09Archbishop, bishop, father, sisters, parents, teachers, and pupils.
20:16We did it.
20:18We all did it.
20:20We learned a lot at St. Bridget's.
20:21Oh.
20:27But the most important things we didn't learn in class.
20:42They didn't come from books or teachers.
20:45They came from our families and our friends.
20:48Everyone in this room taught me something.
20:53Like how to be different.
20:55To be yourself.
20:56Or to never back down and not let anyone put you in a box.
21:00That it's okay to sometimes bend the rules a little.
21:05Or even to break them.
21:07And to stand by the people you love.
21:09Because they'd stand by you.
21:11And if someone's a bully,
21:12it's probably because they're more scared than you are.
21:15So, don't judge a book by its cover.
21:17Or none.
21:18By her habit.
21:21Sorry, sister.
21:24There wasn't a day that went by these last three years
21:27that I didn't wish
21:28that I could leave this place and never come back.
21:33But,
21:33now that time to leave has come,
21:35I kind of wish we could
21:37start all over.
21:39But we can't.
21:41So,
21:42thank you to my teachers.
21:45And,
21:45to all of us.
21:48Because,
21:48I don't know what's next,
21:50but I do know,
21:52whatever it is,
21:53because of you,
21:57I'm ready for it.
22:02Looking back,
22:12it all seemed to go by in a flash.
22:14But,
22:14back then,
22:15it seemed to take forever.
22:18I guess,
22:19because you never really stop growing up.
22:22And even though we know they're for the best,
22:24those growing pains never really stop hurting.
22:27But,
22:27keep growing.
22:28One day,
22:29you might even be mature enough
22:31to start seeing the world like a child again.
22:33Dear Sister Rose,
22:35frig off,
22:35you evil old...
22:37Faaaaa!
22:42There will always be...
