00:15My family has been going to Susanna's Beach House in Cousins every summer since I was a baby.
00:20Since before I was even born.
00:23All year long, I count the days until I'm in that house.
00:30The dads come to visit, but it's not their place.
00:33They don't belong to it.
00:35Not the way we do.
00:36The mothers and us kids.
00:49The summer house is made up of lots of things.
00:54The beach.
01:07The swimming pool late at night.
01:11Movie nights with the moms.
01:16But the boys.
01:18The boys most of all.
01:23It's the same every summer.
01:25I've always loved that about it.
01:28See this?
01:29See this?
01:36For me, everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August.
02:00Drew is bummed you're missing the beach matchup with the boys' team next weekend.
02:03Make sure you tell Sophie to square up for the block.
02:06Drew Martinez is texting me about you and you're talking about volleyball.
02:10Are you serious right now?
02:12Drew doesn't care if I'm there or not.
02:13He just wants an excuse to text you.
02:16And you better take this game against the guys, seriously.
02:18I mean, team pride is on the line, Taylor.
02:20Please, you know me better than that.
02:22I would never let a boy beat me at anything.
02:25I thought you came here to help me pack.
02:27Fine, I'll help.
02:28Here's a tip.
02:29Don't bring that speedo.
02:31It doesn't do a thing for your new boobs.
02:33It's not a speedo.
02:34I'm just saying, babes, like, you need to pack cute things.
02:37Well, I always buy a new suit when I get there.
02:39Okay, so buy one that doesn't look like you're trying out for the swim team.
02:41Are you serious?
02:44No!
02:48Belly, we're leaving in the next ten minutes.
02:50No, you don't.
02:51We still have ten minutes.
03:00Okay, before I let you go, you have to tell me your summer wish.
03:04Like, the one thing you want to happen this summer.
03:07I don't know.
03:09You're a little liar.
03:10Yes, you do.
03:11You want a hot makeout with Conrad Fisher.
03:14You want his tongue in your mouth, you dirty little slut.
03:18Shut up, Taylor.
03:18I'm just saying, like, you've been in love with him since we were 12.
03:23You've got to shit or get off the pot.
03:25A, that's disgusting.
03:27And B, it doesn't matter what I do.
03:30He doesn't see me that way.
03:31Oh, he'll see you.
03:33Whether he wants to or not.
03:35You look a lot different than last summer, Belly.
03:40I love this drive, this moment.
03:43It's like coming home after you've been gone a long, long time.
03:47Every time she goes through her hair
03:50I feel the tension in the air
03:54No, I can't let you leave
03:57So I kill my insecurities
04:15Can you guys turn it down a little, please?
04:17Yes, please.
04:18I want you to be better about helping out this summer.
04:21Like, don't just leave your dishes in the sink.
04:23Load them into the dishwasher.
04:25And not just your own dish either, Stephen.
04:27I want you to be good house guests.
04:29Mom, Susanna has people who clean, doesn't she?
04:32Stephen.
04:33Ow!
04:35All right, all right, sorry.
04:37My mom is weird about money.
04:39The fact that Susanna has a lot, and we don't.
04:42Just be considerate and act like I raised you, right?
04:46Stephen, that means don't stay out too late.
04:48Mom, I'm too old for a curfew.
04:50Wait, what about me?
04:51I don't have a curfew either, right?
04:53What do you need a curfew for?
04:54You don't go anywhere.
04:56Don't be a jackass, Stephen.
04:57What?
04:58Belly, we'll talk about it when something comes up.
05:02Oh, and don't forget, you promised you'd take me driving.
05:04Belly, I told you I'd take you.
05:07Yeah, but you're too judgy.
05:09Excuse me?
05:10Yes, I'm sorry.
05:13I'm sorry.
05:30Hey.
05:32Boys at school never look at me.
05:35Taylor's the one they look at.
05:36I guess you could say I'm just kind of there.
05:44Are you new this summer?
05:46Uh, me?
05:47No.
05:49Really?
05:50Here.
05:51Thought I knew every pretty girl and cousins.
05:55Coming to the bonfire tonight?
05:57First of the season.
05:59Uh, maybe.
06:00Come.
06:01I'll introduce you to some of my friends.
06:03Maybe I will.
06:05After we get settled, do you want to go to Whale of a Tale with me so I can pre
06:08-sign stock before the signing tomorrow night?
06:11Remember, I used to sit on my lap when I did signings there.
06:15You insisted on doing a little whale in every book I signed.
06:18No, I don't remember that.
06:21I'll take that.
06:23I'll make you a deal.
06:24I'll let you pick out tonight's dessert if you come with me and keep me company.
06:28I'll see you later.
06:29What's later?
06:29Nothing.
06:34Nothing.
07:06It smells exactly the same.
07:10Tastes the same.
07:13Like it's been waiting for me to get here.
07:45They're here!
07:50What's up?
07:51Hi.
07:52Oh, my God.
07:53Hello.
07:56Good to see you.
07:57Hi.
08:00Oh, my God.
08:02You've been going to the gym?
08:04He's talking about the gym.
08:05Are you kidding me?
08:06Oh, my God.
08:07I know.
08:07Oh, my God.
08:08When did that last night?
08:10Oh, my God.
08:11Look who came back all grown up.
08:15Jared, Jared, Jared, Jared.
08:16Come over here.
08:17Come on.
08:17Yeah.
08:18Jared talked to me.
08:19Wow.
08:19I like you.
08:21I like you.
08:25I like you.
08:27I like you.
08:33I like you better with glasses.
08:45Too bad.
08:46I like me better without them.
08:48I like you better with glasses.
08:50I like you better with glasses.
08:51I don't know.
08:51What?
08:52Yeah.
08:52Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, guys, guys.
08:55I mean, I, I, I, I don't know about you, but I, well, I, I think it's time for a
09:01belly
09:02You plop!
09:03Get this!
09:04I'm going to get this!
09:06I'm going to get this!
09:08No!
09:09I'm going to get this!
09:10I'm going to get this!
09:10Let's go!
09:11Let's go!
09:11Let's go!
09:12Let's go!
09:13Let's go!
09:14Let's go!
09:16Right here!
09:17Ready?
09:19One!
09:20Two!
09:22Three!
09:27How's the water?
09:29Guys, I hurt my ankles!
09:31Come on!
09:32Yes!
09:33Yes!
09:38Ellie!
09:49Let go!
10:02Oh my God!
10:03Laurel, how many boxes did you bring?
10:06I told you not to bother.
10:07Your fancy little market doesn't even carry Diet Coke back.
10:11Hi.
10:12You're dripping water all over the place.
10:14Laurel.
10:15She's in the recording case.
10:19You have always been lovely, but oh honey, look at you!
10:23I think I look pretty much the same.
10:25You do not look the same at all.
10:28You're growing up.
10:31You're in bloom.
10:33Susanna has a way of saying things that almost makes me believe her.
10:36Laurel, she's you all over.
10:38People always say I look like my dad.
10:40No.
10:40When your mom and I first met, she looked just like you.
10:42Except I had no boobs at all.
10:45Gross, Mom.
10:48You should call your father and tell him we got in safely.
10:51Why don't you tell Steven to do it?
10:53Because I'm telling you.
10:54He misses you guys when you're gone.
10:56Yeah, but he'll see us at the end of the summer.
10:58He'll be here for the fourth.
11:00Wait, he's coming here?
11:01Of course.
11:02He always comes for the fourth.
11:03He didn't come last summer.
11:05Because we've just gotten divorced.
11:07And we're good now.
11:10Where's Mr. Fisher?
11:11Oh, he's in London.
11:13They got him going back and forth.
11:15He'll join us later in the summer.
11:17For now, it's just the woman and the children.
11:19Just the way we like it.
11:38Junior Mint.
11:43I can't believe you still have that bear.
11:45Duh.
11:46I would never throw away Junior Mint.
11:48Come on.
11:49Let's swim before dinner.
11:50Please.
11:51I can't.
11:52I have to go with my mom to whale of a tail.
11:54Oh, man.
11:55I've been wanting to go in the ocean all day,
11:57but I've been waiting for you to get here.
12:00Please.
12:02Pretty please.
12:03Pretty please.
12:06Yeah, yeah.
12:07Screw it.
12:07Let's go swim.
12:08Yes.
12:09All right.
12:09I'll meet you outside.
12:10Okay?
12:11Okay.
12:11I'll be right down.
12:20I'll be right back.
12:21You going into town?
12:22Belly and I were going to go by whale of a tail
12:24so I can sign stock,
12:25but it seems she's ditched me for the ocean.
12:27Let her play.
12:28I'll go with you.
12:28I just need to drop by the country club first.
12:31The country club?
12:32Oh, God.
12:32Never mind.
12:33I'll go by myself.
12:34I'm going to check on the catering for your party.
12:36Catering?
12:37I swear to God, Beck,
12:38you said you were doing a few bottles of wine and that's it.
12:40It's just a few light appies.
12:42Calm down.
12:43You don't have to come in the club.
12:45You can wait in the car.
12:46Fine.
13:12Be quick.
13:13If you leave me too long, I'll get sunk in place.
13:15Yay.
13:22Come on.
13:24Okay.
13:24I'm ready.
13:30Hey.
13:31Did you know my dad's coming up for the fourth?
13:34Cool.
13:35Don't you think it's weird?
13:37Not really.
13:37I love your dad.
13:38Yeah, but they've only been divorced for like a year and a half.
13:41Well, that's what's so cool about your mom, you know?
13:43She just doesn't give a shit.
13:44Exactly.
13:45She doesn't give a shit because she's the one who wanted the divorce in the first place.
13:49I think if you don't want to be married, you just shouldn't be married.
13:52Well, I'll tell that to my grandma.
13:53She basically collapsed when my mom told her.
13:57Did you know my dad has a new girlfriend already?
14:01Well, what about your mom?
14:02Is she dating your buddy?
14:03No.
14:04Oh, and he has a beard now.
14:07Your dad has a beard?
14:08Yeah.
14:09Yeah, he thinks it makes him look cool.
14:11Well, does it?
14:13Kind of.
14:17I've waited all year for this.
14:19Want to race?
14:21No, no, I can't.
14:21Oh, come on.
14:22Your legs are too long now.
14:24I can't do that.
14:25I can't do it.
14:26I can't do it.
14:26It's a bad start.
14:29No, no.
14:50We are all set for your party tomorrow night.
14:52Great, thank you.
14:53How was tour?
14:54Oh, my publishers didn't send me on tour for this one.
14:57It's been a pretty quiet release.
14:59Sorry.
15:00Are you on social media?
15:01You should really be on social media.
15:03Ah, well, no, I'm not.
15:05Are you working on something new?
15:07Always.
15:08How many copies did you guys order for tomorrow night?
15:10I think 20.
15:12Oh, that's not nearly enough.
15:13I've invited half the town.
15:15What, you said this was just going to be a small thing.
15:17Mika, I am so sorry, but you might have to run to the Barnes & Noble in Portsmouth and get
15:20some more.
15:21The business has been slow.
15:22We haven't been keeping as much stock.
15:24What about this?
15:25We must have 100 copies of this book.
15:27Cleveland Castillo is off-brand Jonathan Franzen.
15:30Cleveland Castillo is such a phony name.
15:31It's like, hi, I'm masculine, but I'm an intellectual.
15:34I bet Hemingway is his hero.
15:36I bet he wears horn-rimmed glasses.
15:39Yeah, see?
15:42Yeah, contacts irritate my eyes.
15:50Goodbye, Cleveland.
15:52Yeah, I have something.
15:53He's renting the workhouse all summer.
15:56Oh, that's a nice place.
15:59Sorry.
16:05Stephen, I swear to God, if you look at that phone one more time, I'm putting it in the screen
16:08basket.
16:09It's just we want to see your beautiful faces.
16:11Can dinner be a screen-free zone?
16:13You know, like the olden days?
16:15Stephen.
16:17Dude, are you kidding me?
16:18Boom!
16:20Nailed it.
16:20Okay, okay, okay.
16:21We get it.
16:22You've been working out.
16:23Oh, you're just jealous because Jer has a better body than you.
16:26Uh, no.
16:27Actually, it's all about the lean look now.
16:29Otherwise, you can't wear tailored suits.
16:31Sure, sure.
16:32Tailored suits?
16:33What are you leaving for training camp, man?
16:36Uh, he quit football.
16:41Wait, really?
16:42You quit?
16:43Mm-hmm.
16:44Are you kidding me, man?
16:45I'd kill to play college ball.
16:46He can always change his mind.
16:48I'm not going to change my mind.
16:49I was just going to sit on the bench all season anyways.
16:51Well, if you're not playing football anymore, what are you going to do all summer?
16:55Oh, dude, you could work at the club.
16:57Yeah, with me and Jer, yeah.
16:58I'm not going to work at the club.
16:59Wait, you guys are working this summer?
17:01Yeah, I'm lifeguarding and Stephen's working at the snack shop.
17:06Oh, Belly, I almost forgot.
17:09I have a surprise for you.
17:12So this is why you had to stop by the country club.
17:15Hmm.
17:16What, uh, what is that?
17:18I wrangled Belly an invitation to be a debutante.
17:21Is that the thing where the girls wear white dresses and curtsy?
17:24It's when a girl comes of age and is presented to society.
17:28I know it sounds silly, but I swear it's fun.
17:31Girls come from all over New England to cousins just to be a part of it.
17:33You'll make so many new friends.
17:35I cannot believe you are still holding on to this archaic dream.
17:38No, it used to be about finding a husband, but now it's about networking.
17:42They teach you leadership skills, like how to market yourself, and it benefits charity.
17:47It's, um, like a bat mitzvah.
17:48It's not like a bat mitzvah.
17:50There is nothing religious about a debutante ball.
17:53The whole deb scene is bullshit.
17:55It's for sheep.
17:56Yeah.
17:56No, it's not.
17:57It's when a girl has a coming out, it's a formal recognition she's reached maturity.
18:04I'm sorry.
18:05I'm sorry, mature.
18:06Yes.
18:07Belly.
18:08Mm-hmm.
18:08A couple months ago, you had a cat funeral.
18:10You made us all wear black.
18:11Shut up, Steven.
18:12I saw you crying in your room.
18:14Wait, Mochi died?
18:15Dang, I'm sorry, Bells.
18:16Belly, don't you want to get all dressed up?
18:21It's just not Belly's kind of thing.
18:23She's our feral little alley cat.
18:28I like it.
18:30I'll think about it.
18:32She'll think about it.
18:35Oh, girl, it's you that I like with.
18:46As the atom bomb locked in.
18:55Oh, girl, it's you.
19:00I watch TV.
19:02Night swim?
19:03Yeah, night swim.
19:04Hey, how many followers is a lot of followers on Instagram?
19:07Um, is it somebody who's verified or not verified?
19:10What's verified?
19:12Oh, my God, Mom.
19:14Oh, yeah, Taylor's dad was reading this guy's book.
19:18150,000 followers is a lot, especially for a writer.
19:22Okay, thanks.
19:44I thought you said smoking pot changes the way your brain processes information.
19:49So does your cell phone.
20:07You said marijuana messes with white matter.
20:10Do you even know what white matter is?
20:13You said our brains are still developing and that...
20:15God, do you memorize every single thing that I've ever said?
20:20Get over yourself.
20:31I mean, Conrad, you're the one who said that smoking's dumb and that real athletes don't put shit in their
20:36bodies.
20:37I said a lot of stuff.
20:39And I'm not an athlete anymore, so...
20:43Well, I still think you should quit.
20:51What do you give me if I do?
21:01Nothing.
21:01I think you should quit for yourself.
21:04Nothing.
21:10I think you should quit for yourself.
21:12Hey, why are you considering this debutante thing?
21:16I don't know.
21:17I mean, it's not like I have anything else going on.
21:21But it's not you.
21:24Don't let my mom make you her little doll just because she never had a daughter.
21:28I don't mind it.
21:30I mean, sometimes I wish I was her daughter.
21:33You're better off with Laurel.
21:34Trust me.
21:38Why are you acting so different?
21:44I'm not.
21:46I know you.
21:47I mean, something's going on.
21:49Just...
21:50Just tell me.
21:56Ellie.
21:59First bonfire of the summer!
22:03All right, we're totally taking my car.
22:05You're not driving.
22:06Come on, man.
22:07We're leaving.
22:08You ready?
22:08Can I come too?
22:10Uh, no.
22:11The moms are getting everything set up for your movie night.
22:15See ya.
22:16Let's go, slowpoke.
22:19Have fun with the moms!
22:22Have fun with the moms!
22:33Brownies are going in.
22:35Go put the DVD in.
22:36Uh, do we have to watch it happen one night?
22:38Can't we do something different?
22:39Well, we always watch it happen one night on the first night.
22:42Well, we could watch the Philadelphia story instead.
22:47Everything okay?
22:48Yeah, no, I'm just...
22:50I'm kind of tired, so I think I might skip the movie and go to bed.
22:54Okay, hon, yeah, sure.
22:55We can, uh, we can do the brownies another night.
23:05Why am I hearing from you?
23:06You never call me on the first night.
23:08Um, where are you going?
23:10To a show?
23:12What's wrong?
23:15Tonight, Conrad and I were talking by the pool.
23:17Just the two of us.
23:18And it felt different.
23:21Good different?
23:22So I told you.
23:23I don't know.
23:24I mean, Jeremiah and Steven came down,
23:25and then they all just left
23:26and went to this thing on the beach.
23:27Oh, why didn't you go with them?
23:30Like, I care about a beach bonfire.
23:34And it's not like they invited me either, so...
23:36They don't own the beach.
23:37Well, I did talk to this one guy, um,
23:39who asked me to come.
23:41See?
23:41Come on, girl, go have fun.
23:43Yeah, but...
23:45I don't like that guy.
23:46But that's not the point.
23:48Conrad will be there.
23:49Go to the bonfire, get in his eye line,
23:51let him see you all dressed up and looking cute.
23:54Look in your duffel bag.
23:55I've gifted you my secret weapon.
23:58Not to keep.
23:59Obst.
24:00Just to borrow.
24:01You see it?
24:04No way in hell.
24:06Belly, nothing's ever going to happen
24:08if you're alone crying in your room
24:09in your big t-shirt waiting for the boys to come home.
24:12Yeah, but...
24:13I mean, won't you be able to see my underwear underneath it?
24:15So wear a thong.
24:17No.
24:17No, thongs are unhygienic.
24:19Wearing a thong is basically like...
24:21like flossing your butthole.
24:22Ew, belly, thongs are mainstream.
24:25All right, shut up.
24:27I'll go.
24:27If I'm alone with you,
24:29I'm somewhere else that doesn't feel...
24:33Hello.
24:35Do you mind my car?
24:37You.
24:40Don't make me laugh.
24:42Oh, you're such a smart alley.
24:44Nobody knows anything but you.
24:47I'll stop the car and I won't use my thumb.
24:50What are you going to do?
24:52The system on my own.
25:05Aren't you going to give me a little credit?
25:08Of course.
25:19What's up in the time and I heard that I was ugly.
25:22Came from a chick who...
25:24When I took...
25:24I said my face, bomb, ass tight.
25:26Rack, stack up, shack.
25:27Hey, Jerry, only die.
25:29I'm going to kill Taylor.
25:32You want to act right?
25:33You're a good girl.
25:35You're a good girl.
25:36Yo, gas station girl.
25:38Hey.
25:40Where are you coming from?
25:42Uh, another party.
25:44Sweet, yeah.
25:45Hey, here, take my beer.
25:46No, no, no, thanks.
25:47Okay.
25:50So, uh...
25:51You got a boyfriend back home?
25:55Steven!
25:58What are you doing here?
26:01I'm sorry, what are you wearing?
26:03I invited her.
26:04Who the fuck are you?
26:04I'm her brother.
26:05No, she's 15, you pedo.
26:07I'm...
26:07I'm almost 16.
26:09My bad.
26:10I'm not...
26:11Jesus Christ, Pelley.
26:13What are you doing?
26:14Do you want me to do this?
26:15No, do you want me to do this?
26:16I'm embarrassing you, please.
26:16I'm embarrassing you, please.
26:18Why am I embarrassing you?
26:18Put embarrassing yourself.
26:20Are you kidding me?
26:20Are you okay?
26:22Pelley?
26:29I thought you hated the Red Sox.
26:31Who are you?
26:33Who are you?
26:34Nicole.
26:35Conrad and I went to the Deb Ball together last summer.
26:38It was after you guys left to take Steven to look at colleges?
26:41I thought you said that Deb Balls are bullshit and all Debs are sheep.
26:44I didn't...
26:47You're such a brat.
26:48Well, you're an asshole.
26:49Pelley!
26:50You came!
26:51Great!
26:51We can all hang out, you guys.
26:52I'm about to take her home.
26:53What?
26:54Yeah, we're leaving.
26:55Are you kidding me?
26:55Okay, Steven, chill out.
26:56Come on.
26:57Don't go hang out with Sheila Ersel.
26:59Let's go.
27:01Come on.
27:03Fine.
27:04But just stay right here and don't talk to anybody.
27:06Okay.
27:07All right.
27:07Chill.
27:09Fuck you!
27:11Wow.
27:12Listen, for one, I'm really happy you're here.
27:16Jeremiah.
27:19Okay, I will be right back.
27:33When the boys threw belly in the pool today, I swear I almost saw a smile on Connie's face.
27:39He was in a better mood today than I've seen him since he and Aubrey broke up.
27:43I didn't realize they were that serious.
27:45Neither did I.
27:48Oh, he's just in such a bad mood.
27:50So unlike himself.
27:54Since when did he quit football?
27:55A couple weeks ago.
27:57He only ever played football to please Adam.
28:00I told you they weren't getting along.
28:02I'm just going to let him out of his space.
28:06Oh.
28:06Let him do his thing.
28:11Don't you think maybe it's time you talk to him?
28:16There's nothing to talk about.
28:20Can we just have a really great summer like we said we would?
28:25How's your writing coming?
28:27Your office is all set up for you.
28:29I put fresh flowers in it.
28:31I just want to hang out with you.
28:33I could give a shit about my book right now.
28:36Liar.
28:36You give so many shits about your book, you give all the shits.
28:39It's a mid-list book.
28:40It's been out for a month and it's barely selling.
28:43Maybe if I'd written about the Asian American experience, whatever that is, it would be selling better.
28:48Well, it is going to sell a ton of copies tomorrow and I can't wait to read it.
28:52You never read my books.
28:55Yes, I do.
28:59Read Cleveland Castillo's book instead.
29:01He's got 150,000 followers on Instagram.
29:04You know, it wouldn't hurt you to put yourself out there more.
29:07Get on Tinder while you're on.
29:08Oh my God, please stop.
29:09Okay, okay, not Tinder.
29:10What's the app for the 40 and up crap?
29:13Oh, come back and you stop.
29:15It's our time.
29:16I know it's not.
29:28What?
29:29Okay, don't get mad at me.
29:31I just, I really think you should let Belly have a dub seat.
29:35These debutante balls are just so problematic.
29:40I really want to see our girl in a waitress.
29:49Fine.
29:51And you win.
29:52I always do.
29:54I still don't think she'll go through with it.
29:56She might surprise you.
29:59People can change, you know.
30:02Not us, though.
30:05No.
30:06You and I are immovable objects.
30:28Flavia?
30:30Hi, it's me.
30:31Sextus.
30:32What did you say to me?
30:33No, no, no, no, no, no, no, Sextus, from 7th grade Latin convention.
30:37You're Flavia, right?
30:38You play second in the poem recitation?
30:40Yeah.
30:41You, uh, you, you dressed up for the costume contest, right?
30:44Mm-hmm.
30:45Were you a wizard or something?
30:46Close.
30:47I was Caron, fairy man of the dead.
30:50Salway, Flavia.
30:52Salway, Sextus.
30:53My real name's not Sextus, though.
30:55It's, uh, it's Cammy.
30:57I'm, uh, I'm Belly.
30:58Uh, Isabelle.
31:01Cool.
31:03You can sit down if you want.
31:05Oh, okay, cool, yeah.
31:06I would love to.
31:07Call me on my way out, but, uh, I can, I can chill.
31:12Are you new this summer?
31:13No, no, I'm from here.
31:15Are you?
31:16No, I've been coming to Cousins ever since I was a baby.
31:19What?
31:19How have we not met until now?
31:20I totally would've remembered you.
31:24Your poem.
31:26It's a very memorable poem.
31:28Mm.
31:29Yeah, no, I, I stick pretty close to home when I'm here, so.
31:33How come?
31:35I guess because I, I don't really know anybody other than my family.
31:38Hmm.
31:41How you doing?
31:45Are you cold?
31:46I, I'm okay, I'm, I'm fine.
31:49No, no, I don't even like this it eats.
31:51Really?
31:52Yeah, it's so gross.
31:53Great, I'll take it off your hands.
31:55Thanks.
31:59Hey, did, did everybody see me fall before?
32:03Hmm.
32:05Sort of, yeah.
32:07My brother is such a dick.
32:10Brother?
32:11So, like, who were the other, the other guys you were with?
32:13Is any of them, like, your boyfriend?
32:16No.
32:18They're, um, they're my mom's best friend's sons.
32:20Oh, cool.
32:20We stay at their house every summer.
32:22They're just mad that I'm here.
32:26I'm really glad you came, because I did not want to come.
32:30I knew it was just going to be a bunch of kids, like, I knew it was just going to
32:33be a bunch of kids, like, getting drunk, and I don't drink at all.
32:36Me neither.
32:38So how do you know all these summer people, if you're local?
32:41Oh, my mom works at the country club, so I, like, grew up around them.
32:45Hey, do you know anything about that, that debutante thing?
32:48It's, it's dumb, right?
32:50I mean, it's definitely, like, steeped in the patriarchy, if that's what you're talking about.
32:54Yeah, no, you don't.
32:55Yeah.
32:56But it's actually, like, not total garbage.
32:58They do, like, a big fundraiser every year.
33:00Wow.
33:01Unless you're Elizabeth Warren.
33:03Ended up showing up.
33:04Oh, my God.
33:05Wow.
33:06That's awesome.
33:06I know.
33:08Wow.
33:10It's pretty late.
33:11Um, I really don't want to leave right now, but I have to be up really early in the morning,
33:17because I'm interning on a whale-watching boat,
33:20and it would be really, really great if you won.
33:23What's your problem, man?
33:24It's one beer.
33:25It's a party.
33:26Relax.
33:27Give me my beer back.
33:28Stop.
33:28You're drunk.
33:29Just give him the beer.
33:30Maybe you should listen to your lady.
33:31No, I'm fine.
33:32I'm fine.
33:33Give me the beer back.
33:34Give me the beer back.
33:34He's a real big man.
33:35Fuck you, bro.
33:36Oh, my gosh.
33:37Uh, I, I'll be right back.
33:39I'm sorry.
33:40Don't, don't go anywhere.
33:40No, yeah.
33:41You're not taking my fucking beer, dude.
33:43Relax.
33:43It's one beer.
33:44Yeah, and it's my fucking beer.
33:45You got in your place.
33:46You got in your place.
33:47There we go.
33:49Guys, what the fucking wrong with you?
33:52Are you okay?
33:52Come on, man.
33:53You're all right?
33:54Hey, guys, guys.
33:56More.
33:57Hey, guys.
34:00Break it off.
34:01Come on.
34:03Get out of here.
34:15Seriously.
34:16Come on.
34:17Get in the car.
34:18Watch your head.
34:20Legs.
34:20Legs.
34:21Yes, I know.
34:21How to get into a car.
34:22All right.
34:24Billy.
34:25Let's go.
34:25Get in.
34:26Cam, can you give me a ride home?
34:28Right, Cam?
34:28Yes.
34:28That's no problem.
34:29No, you're not going to get in a car with the guy you just met.
34:31I'm Cam.
34:32Cameron.
34:33Your name is Cam Cameron?
34:35No, it's just Cam.
34:37But we actually, we know each other.
34:39Seventh grade.
34:39Latin convention.
34:40So, like, we're not total strangers.
34:42Okay.
34:44No offense, but no.
34:45Billy, get in the car.
34:46Just get in the car.
34:48Uh, you should probably go.
34:51But, uh, the whaling boat that I intern on, it leaves at dawn every morning from the piers.
34:56I was wondering if you would, uh, want to come?
35:02Uh, yeah, yes, sure.
35:04I mean, how else will you get your hoodie back, right?
35:07It's true.
35:11This could be my summer wish.
35:13This night.
35:14This boy.
35:16Okay.
35:23Just a second.
35:23Yeah.
35:24Just a second.
35:28Bye.
35:39Fuck.
35:40Steven.
35:41Watch, Conrad.
35:42I'll be right back.
36:02Your hair's like a little kid's, the way it's always so messy.
36:14Belly.
36:16Have your kids been drinking?
36:22Officers, thank you.
36:23It won't happen again.
36:24I can promise you that much.
36:25Tell Mr. Fisher the chief wants to set up a tea time when he gets back in town.
36:29Absolutely.
36:30Sorry again for all the trouble.
36:33Have a good night, officers.
36:39How could you guys be so irresponsible?
36:41Mom, it wasn't a big deal.
36:43All right, seriously, the cops are just looking to break up the bonfire.
36:45Not a big deal?
36:46Yes.
36:46I would say getting picked up by the cops for underage drinking is a pretty big deal, Steven.
36:53Are you guys smoking tonight?
36:56What?
36:58Keep your voice down.
36:59Susanna's asleep on the couch.
37:00I wasn't yelling.
37:01You were...
37:01Just so you know, Laurel, I didn't drink tonight.
37:04I was the DD, I swear.
37:05You're the oldest.
37:06What the hell's gotten into you?
37:08And when did you leave the house without telling anybody?
37:10And what in the world are you wearing?
37:11It's Taylor's.
37:12And why am I the only one who's not allowed to go out?
37:14It's not that you're not allowed.
37:15It's that you should have told us you were going.
37:16I mean, how did you even get there?
37:17I walked.
37:19Jesus.
37:20You know better than to walk that far down the beach alone late at night.
37:22Can you stop treating me like a kid?
37:24If you want to be treated like an adult, you need to act like one.
37:27Then maybe you guys should too.
37:32What does that mean?
37:35I hope you realize this night could have ended a lot differently if your family wasn't your family.
37:41We're sorry, Laurel.
37:44Just...
37:45Go to bed, guys.
37:54I don't understand what is going on with you.
37:58Nothing.
38:01Nothing's going on.
38:02Connie.
38:05Connie.
38:06Connie.
38:07Connie.
38:41It's always one step forward and three steps back.
38:47I'm the love of your life until I make you mad.
38:54It's always one step forward and three steps back.
39:00Do you love me?
39:01Want me?
39:02You hate me?
39:02You hate me, boy.
39:03I don't understand.
39:05No, I don't understand.
39:09And maybe in some masochistic way.
39:13I kind of find it all exciting.
39:16I kind of find it all exciting.
39:17Like, which lover will I get today?
39:20Will you walk me to the door?
39:23Send me home crying.
39:24And it's one step forward and three steps back.
39:30I'm the love of your life until I make you mad.
39:35It's always one step forward and three steps back.
39:41Do you love me?
39:43Want me?
39:43Hate me?
39:44Boy, I don't understand.
40:06Things change, whether you want them to or not.
40:11So maybe I'll change, too.
40:17The rollercoaster's all I've ever had.
40:20Yeah, it's one step forward and three steps back.
40:26Do you love me?
40:28Want me?
40:28Hate me?
40:29Boy, I don't understand.
40:32No, I don't understand.
40:34Hi.
40:39Last night was amazing.
40:40Shit show.
40:43You know you're going to have a black eye tomorrow, right?
40:47It's already tomorrow.
40:54Hey, do you...
40:56Do you remember anything that happened last night?
40:58I mean, you were pretty wasted.
41:02I always remember everything that I drink.
41:16Let me have a puff.
41:17No.
41:18Mm-hmm.
41:18No.
41:19Yeah.
41:19No.
41:19Yes.
41:20No.
41:21Laurel would actually kill me.
41:22Okay, fine.
41:23Then if I can't smoke, then you can't smoke.
41:31Same old belly.
41:41Same old belly.
41:43Hey, let's go pick up some of the good muffins before everybody else gets out.
41:47I thought this summer was going to be like all the other summers, but it's not.
41:52Um, I actually have somewhere that I need to be.
41:56Because I won't let it be.
41:58Wait, where are you going?
42:00I can see about a whale.
42:02No, I can't let you live.
42:04No, I can't let you live.
42:09No, I can't let you live.
42:23What does that mean?
42:23Do anything that it could take.
42:27Convince myself I'm in first place.
42:31And maybe you'll pick me in an alternate reality.
42:38Never mind, I'm not built to be the one.
42:42Try to be sweet, try to be fun.
42:45No, I can't let you leave.
42:48No, it's not a possibility.
42:53Oh, you can't do better.
42:59Oh, you can't do better.
43:06Don't you know?
43:08Oh, can't you see that there's no one else but me?
43:14Oh, you can't do better.
43:27Don't you know?
43:29Don't you know that you are meant for me?
43:35Don't you know that this is killing me?
43:42That it's not a possibility
43:48Oh, you can't do better
43:52No, baby, no, baby, no
43:54Oh, you can't do better
43:58You can't, I can't do better
44:01Don't you know, oh, can't you see that there's no one out for me
44:08Oh, you can't do better
44:45Oh, you can't do better
44:51Oh, you can't do better
44:57Oh, you can't do better
44:57Oh, you can't do better
44:57Oh, you can't do better
44:58Oh, you can't do better
44:58Oh, you can't do better
45:05Oh, you can't do better
