ショートトランスクリプション
00:00:00You
00:00:22Mr. Marcus Skinner care of the English department
00:00:27Stanford University
00:00:30Dear mr. Skinner
00:00:32My name is Sean Brumder, and I think you are a total genius. I
00:00:38Live in California in a place called Orange County
00:00:48Year ago, I was just another Orange County surfer spending my days at the beach with my buddies
00:00:55Playing volleyball
00:01:00Spending my nights around a bonfire party
00:01:05School was always a walk for me. I did pretty well without trying too hard
00:01:10To brothers a tropical storm three miles off Laguna. Let's go dude surf shop, but I was easily distracted
00:01:15What about next period?
00:01:1720 flitters and screw your period
00:01:1920 flitters
00:01:21Then last April me and my crew drove out to emerald cove to catch some major tsunami waves
00:01:40I don't know you guys
00:01:42To face the fear
00:01:46This is intense
00:02:06Righteous
00:02:18Righteous
00:02:20But I bet he's up in heaven right now.
00:02:22After Lonnie drowned, I did some heavy meditating.
00:02:26I thought, maybe there's more to life than extreme sports
00:02:30and trying to get laid.
00:02:32Maybe there's a bigger purpose for me,
00:02:34and I've just been too high to figure it out.
00:02:37I was sitting on the beach, totally cogitating.
00:02:40I looked down, and there in the sand
00:02:43was a copy of your book.
00:02:47It was like a sign, like your book was calling out to me.
00:02:52Read me.
00:02:54For the next few days, I read it from cover to cover.
00:02:58Your book totally captured what it's like to be a teenager,
00:03:01the excitement, the confusion, the horniness.
00:03:05Sometimes I laughed so hard I thought I was going to puke and die.
00:03:10And other times I cried.
00:03:15Sean, are you OK?
00:03:17It's just so sad.
00:03:21I read your book 52 times that month,
00:03:24and I finally realized what I wanted to do with my life.
00:03:28I want to be a writer.
00:03:31I've been writing ever since.
00:03:33It's all I ever do.
00:03:35All day and all night sometimes.
00:03:37It was hard to get going, but once I did, I couldn't stop.
00:03:42I'm like a machine, and nothing else matters.
00:03:45Guys, I'm selling my board.
00:03:47Dude.
00:03:48I don't have time to surf.
00:03:50I need to focus on my writing.
00:03:52What?
00:03:52My friends think I've lost my mind.
00:03:56He's lost his mind.
00:03:57Let's get lit and go jump off the roof of my house.
00:04:00Now you're talking.
00:04:04I need some feedback, and there's no one here to help me.
00:04:07I got your story here, Sean.
00:04:09Wow.
00:04:09I have the sneaking suspicion that my English teacher is illiterate.
00:04:14I noticed you used a lot of big words.
00:04:16Nice.
00:04:17Good for you.
00:04:18It was a little long, so I didn't read the whole thing,
00:04:21but who cares, because I gave you an A.
00:04:24My brother Lance is perpetually recovering from the night before.
00:04:33I'm sorry, I don't feel good.
00:04:38My girlfriend is the only one who's actually read my work,
00:04:41but she's always so positive it's hard to take her seriously.
00:04:45It's like the best story I've ever read.
00:04:48Really?
00:04:50It's funny and original.
00:04:54I mean, I think it could be a movie.
00:05:07I don't know if Orange County is the best environment for an aspiring writer,
00:05:11so I'm applying to Stanford to study with you.
00:05:14You are a shoe-in.
00:05:18Do you think I should apply to some safety schools?
00:05:21No need. Don't you be a scaredy-cat.
00:05:23There's no doubt in my mind that you're going to go to Berkeley.
00:05:27Stanford.
00:05:28Yes, Stanford is where you're going, mister.
00:05:32I am sending you a copy of my story.
00:05:35Hopefully, with your wisdom and guidance, I will one day be a real writer.
00:05:41I look forward to seeing you in the fall, Mr. Skinner.
00:05:44Your greatest admirer, Sean Brumder.
00:05:50Adjectives on the typewriter.
00:05:53He moves his words like a prize fighter.
00:05:57The frenzied pace of the mind inside the cell.
00:06:04The man on the street might just as well be.
00:06:08The man on the street might just as well.
00:06:11The man on the street might just as well be.
00:06:18Outside, outside the world.
00:06:21Out there, you don't hear the echoes and calls.
00:06:24But the steel eye, tight jaw.
00:06:28Say it all, say it all.
00:06:31But the white paint, plastic stains.
00:06:35Say it all, say it all, say it all.
00:06:40Say it all, say it all, say it all, say it all, say it all.
00:06:45Say it all, say it all, say it all, say it all, say it all, say it all, say it
00:06:49all, say it all.
00:06:53Watch it, man.
00:06:55What are you doing lying here?
00:06:57Oh, my parole officer wants to give me a drug test.
00:07:00I need your urine.
00:07:03Can I score some of your piss?
00:07:06Yeah.
00:07:07Awesome, man.
00:07:13Bob?
00:07:13Don't yell at me!
00:07:15Don't yell at me!
00:07:16Bob, are you okay?
00:07:19Bob!
00:07:20Hey, Bob!
00:07:23Something's wrong with Bob.
00:07:24Did you feed him his pills today?
00:07:26I don't know.
00:07:28Is he okay?
00:07:30You gotta remember to feed him his pills, Mom.
00:07:34Okay!
00:07:35Did you give Bob his pills?
00:07:37I'm not a nurse.
00:07:39Sean, you forgot to get rid of her right now.
00:07:42Okay, baby?
00:07:42She has a bad attitude.
00:07:44And she's...
00:07:45You stole my Palm Pilot!
00:07:47You did?
00:07:48Admit it.
00:07:50That's it.
00:07:51No, you did.
00:07:52Renuncio.
00:07:54Lupe, por favor, no!
00:08:10Yeah, it's over.
00:08:19Okay.
00:08:20But it's only for you.
00:08:22Because if your mom gets back to me,
00:08:24I'm going to get my mother.
00:08:24I'm going to give her a hand.
00:08:26Thank you very much.
00:08:28What?
00:08:29Sean, what happened?
00:08:29What'd she say?
00:08:30Uh, she's sorry.
00:08:32And she thinks you're an incredible lady.
00:08:34Hey, listen, Mom.
00:08:35When the mail comes,
00:08:36will you call me on my cell?
00:08:38Because I'm supposed to hear from Stanford today.
00:08:41Oh.
00:08:42Okay.
00:08:44Oh, come on.
00:08:45Don't get upset, Mom.
00:08:47All right?
00:08:48You knew this day was gonna come.
00:08:50I'm just going to college.
00:08:51It's not like I'm leaving the planet.
00:08:54Mom, get a grip.
00:08:55No.
00:08:56I won't.
00:08:57Going back to bed.
00:09:01Is it OK PUNK?
00:09:06I'm stuck in bed.
00:09:09You should have to get the rest of it.
00:09:09I'm not bad, I'm just going to hit you from there.
00:09:10You can't hit you from here.
00:09:10You might push me around, but you cannot win.
00:09:15Shawny, check this out, man.
00:09:16You gotta help us out.
00:09:17You're a punk.
00:09:17Don't call me a punk.
00:09:18Don't call me a punk.
00:09:19You're a punk.
00:09:19I know it's a punk.
00:09:20You remember that?
00:09:22And I paid for everyone.
00:09:23Dude, who paid for parking?
00:09:26I don't remember you ever paying for anything in your sorry life, okay?
00:09:28Yeah, of course you don't remember what someone else did or whatever you paid.
00:09:31It's like, stop the press.
00:09:32Hey, did you guys know that it's April 15th?
00:09:35A year ago today, Lonnie died.
00:09:40Wait, dude, that's true.
00:09:42I can't believe it's been a whole year.
00:09:44Well, I was thinking that, you know,
00:09:46maybe we should do something in his memory.
00:09:49Yeah.
00:09:50We should pull a killer prank.
00:09:52We should go jump off something, dudes.
00:09:53Yeah, bro, or blow something up.
00:09:56Hey, maybe we should go on down to Emerald Cove
00:09:58and have a little surf in Lonnie's memory.
00:10:00Dude, Sean doesn't surf anymore, stupid.
00:10:02Oh, yeah, I forgot he doesn't surf or skate or pick his butt, dude.
00:10:05He's a writer, boy, now whatever he does.
00:10:07Yeah, what's up with old Dr. Seuss?
00:10:08Chat in the hat.
00:10:10Principal Harper, as you may know,
00:10:12there was an oil spill last week off the Costa Redondo,
00:10:14and today's paper just says hundreds of seagulls have been affected.
00:10:19So I propose a school-sponsored fundraiser
00:10:21with all the proceeds going to the seagull rehabilitation fund.
00:10:25As the community service leader,
00:10:27I think we would be morally remiss if we did nothing for these seagulls.
00:10:31Fine.
00:10:33One more.
00:10:34Last one.
00:10:36After this, we'll let all sick and endangered animals die horrible deaths.
00:10:41Agreed?
00:10:42Now, people, June is just around the corner.
00:10:47Let's talk graduation speakers. Ideas?
00:10:50Uh, Toni Morrison.
00:10:52She's in town that same weekend for a book signing.
00:10:55She's won the Nobel Prize.
00:10:58Interesting.
00:11:00Dana, didn't you say you have a cousin who's friends with Britney Spears?
00:11:04Yeah. Best friends.
00:11:10Now, when I say Romeo and Juliet, who comes to mind?
00:11:15Dana?
00:11:17Claire Danes.
00:11:18That's right. Claire Danes.
00:11:20Who else?
00:11:21Leonardo DiCaprio.
00:11:22Right?
00:11:23Who else?
00:11:25Well, you know, someone else was involved in that movie
00:11:28who in some ways is as famous as Leonardo DiCaprio.
00:11:31And his name's William Shakespeare.
00:11:34And some great movies are based on his plays.
00:11:38Hamlet.
00:11:39West Side Story.
00:11:41Talented Mr. Ripley.
00:11:44Waterworld.
00:11:46Gladiator.
00:11:47Chocolat.
00:11:49Mr. Burke.
00:11:50As you know, my boyfriend drowned in a surfing accident.
00:11:54I don't think I can handle Romeo and Juliet right now.
00:11:58Emotionally.
00:12:00Tanya, Lonnie died a year ago.
00:12:02Well, sometimes it takes decades to recover from a tragedy like this.
00:12:06You only went out with him for two weeks.
00:12:09Tanya!
00:12:10Your mom's outside!
00:12:11She said you got it to Stanford!
00:12:14Oh!
00:12:15Let it shine, oh, let it shine.
00:12:19Let it shine, oh, let it shine.
00:12:24Let it shine, let it shine, oh, let it shine.
00:12:28Let it shine, oh, let it shine.
00:12:32Mr. Brown Day, you are the defendant.
00:12:35Uh...
00:12:38Uh...
00:12:38Hello?
00:12:39Hey, Lance, can you do me a favor?
00:12:41Who are you looking for?
00:12:43It's Sean.
00:12:45Sean, pick up the phone!
00:12:51He's not here.
00:12:59What?
00:13:00Lance, will you please just go to the door and tell me if the mail's there?
00:13:03I'm begging you.
00:13:04Fine, fine.
00:13:07Do I have to turn on your computer?
00:13:09No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:13:11Just go to the front door.
00:13:13The mail would be in the mailbox.
00:13:15Okay.
00:13:17You owe me one, buddy.
00:13:25Yeah, it's here.
00:13:31Now I'm on my way, yeah.
00:13:35I'm on my way, yeah.
00:13:39I'm on my way, yeah.
00:13:42I'm on my way, yeah.
00:13:47I don't even care, cause I'm on my way.
00:13:53Today's the big day, Gary.
00:13:55Meow!
00:13:56Look at me.
00:13:58I'm sick!
00:14:01Lance!
00:14:02Where is it?
00:14:05Come on.
00:14:06Where is it?
00:14:06Come on.
00:14:07Where is the mail?
00:14:08I don't know.
00:14:08Are you sitting on it?
00:14:10Aw, dude, I see it on the floor.
00:14:12Yeah.
00:14:17Push him!
00:14:18Bob!
00:14:19Bob!
00:14:19Bob, I'm moving your chair.
00:14:24Ah!
00:14:30This is it.
00:14:31This is my future right here in this envelope.
00:14:34Hey!
00:14:35You're blocking the tube!
00:14:37Oh, sorry.
00:14:38All right.
00:14:46We regret to inform you that your application to Stanford University was not accepted.
00:14:53Wait.
00:14:54What?
00:15:01I didn't get in.
00:15:05Wh-
00:15:07What?
00:15:08What?
00:15:09I didn't get in.
00:15:11I didn't get in?!
00:15:22What?
00:15:22What?
00:15:23What?
00:15:23What?
00:15:24I don't get it!
00:15:24What's wrong?
00:15:27Something horrible's happened.
00:15:30Is Bob dead?
00:15:32Did something break?
00:15:36Got rejected from Stanford.
00:15:40Oh.
00:15:42Oh, Sean. Oh, baby, I'm sorry.
00:15:46It's okay. I'm so sorry.
00:15:51You're just gonna have to go somewhere closer to home.
00:15:53That's all.
00:15:54And you get to keep living here.
00:15:56With Lance.
00:15:57And Bob.
00:15:59And me.
00:16:04Today has solved.
00:16:09Get me down.
00:16:14Yeah!
00:16:21Okay. And are you a student here?
00:16:25Yes, I'm a student here. I'm Sean Brumner. I'm the class president.
00:16:29And you didn't get into Stanford? Too bad. Tough break. Where else did you apply?
00:16:35Nowhere. You told me I was a shoo-in.
00:16:38Nowhere. Not even a safety school?
00:16:41You said shoo-in.
00:16:42Let's calm down. Let's see what we can do. I'm just gonna pull up your file.
00:16:49Well, it looks here like your GPA is, what, 2.5 and your SATs combined are 940?
00:16:55No, no, that's low.
00:16:58940? No, no, no, no, no, no. I had a 1520.
00:17:02No, it says 940.
00:17:06That's not my transcript. That's Shane Brainerd's transcript.
00:17:09And you are?
00:17:10Sean Brumner.
00:17:21No. No, you didn't. You couldn't have.
00:17:31You sent in the wrong transcript?
00:17:35What's up, Shane?
00:17:37You guys, I got into Stanford.
00:17:41I ain't playing this joke and they let me in.
00:17:44I'm freaking out.
00:17:46No, I didn't.
00:17:47Yes, you did.
00:17:48No, I didn't.
00:17:49Yes, you did.
00:17:50You just don't throw accusations around here.
00:17:53This is nobody's fault.
00:17:54Yes, it is. It's your fault.
00:17:56You know you're screeching at me.
00:17:58Because you are a moron.
00:18:00Now, listen to me, lady.
00:18:01Oh, yeah.
00:18:02Humble!

00:18:47Go!
00:18:49Yeah!
00:18:51I got to get out of here.
00:18:55I got to get out of Orange County.
00:18:58Sean, where are you going?
00:19:00I'm going to my dad's.
00:19:10All right.
00:19:12I'm going to go in there and I'm going to say to my dad that he abandoned our family.
00:19:15And if he wants to make it up to me, well, then he can start now.
00:19:19By making a massive donation to Stanford.
00:19:21Sean, okay, remember when all the sea lions kept beaching themselves in Corona Del Mar
00:19:26and nobody was doing anything about it?
00:19:28Well, me getting all hysterical didn't help anything.
00:19:32This is it, Ashley.
00:19:33I'm going to tell my dad that I want to be a writer.
00:19:36Hey.
00:19:38Good luck.
00:19:41Thanks.
00:19:47Who are you?
00:19:49I'm Sean.
00:19:51I'm your brother.
00:19:53What are you sucking on?
00:19:54I'm a pootie.
00:19:56Ah.
00:19:56Well, aren't you a little old for a pootie?
00:19:59Mm.
00:19:59Bam!
00:20:01Jake.
00:20:02What did you just do?
00:20:05Go pick up your pootie or you're going to get a timeout, mister.
00:20:07No.
00:20:08Pick up your pootie.
00:20:09No.
00:20:10That's it!
00:20:11Rosa, take Jake upstairs and give him some Ritalin.
00:20:14I don't like your attitude!
00:20:16I don't like your attitude!
00:20:18I don't like your attitude!
00:20:19Gah!
00:20:20Woo!
00:20:21Isn't he getting big?
00:20:23So, what's up with you?
00:20:25You look great.
00:20:27Really filled out.
00:20:29Your arms.
00:20:30And your chest.
00:20:34You been working out?
00:20:36No.
00:20:37Bud is getting so fat.
00:20:40You should really talk to him.
00:20:42He's going to have a heart attack.
00:20:45Plus, he's bad.
00:20:48God damn it!
00:20:49Are you trying to ruin me?
00:20:50Yeah, where is my dad?
00:20:52If you do this, I will eat your face!
00:20:56Come, my lady.
00:20:57Come, come, my lady.
00:20:58You're my butterfly.
00:20:59Sugar, baby.
00:21:01My lady.
00:21:03Oh, puppy!
00:21:05Oh, God!
00:21:07Oh, my God, puppy!
00:21:09A rider?
00:21:10What do you have to write about?
00:21:12You're not oppressed.
00:21:13You're not gay.
00:21:13Not all writers are gay.
00:21:15Yeah, well, they're all poor.
00:21:16I can tell you that.
00:21:17It's not true.
00:21:18What about Tom Clancy, Stephen King, Anne Rice?
00:21:22Three people in the history of literature!
00:21:25Well, the truth is, I don't care about making money.
00:21:33Sean, I have a burst blood vessel in my brain.
00:21:36I could die at any moment.
00:21:38But I keep plugging away, day after day, because I want to leave you with something special.
00:21:44A business.
00:21:45A legacy.
00:21:47I want my booty!
00:21:48Hey, pal.
00:21:49Control yourself.
00:21:50Can you give me that back?
00:21:52I want my booty!
00:21:54Where's your mother?
00:21:55Rosa!
00:21:56Will you get in here?
00:21:57Where?
00:21:57Yeah, I'm coming!
00:21:59Rosa!
00:22:00Can you get him out of here?
00:22:01He's okay.
00:22:01Doesn't he need a nap?
00:22:02Come here, Jake.
00:22:03We want him to earn some limits.
00:22:06Uh, Sean.
00:22:10This is my life's work here.
00:22:12When I started out, I had nothing.
00:22:14Now look at me.
00:22:15I've got eight and a half million square feet in Irvine alone.
00:22:18It's a goddamn empire, and I want to leave it to you.
00:22:20Where?
00:22:21This is the life I want for you.
00:22:24Yeah, but what about what I want?
00:22:26You want to be a writer?
00:22:27Well, before that, you wanted to be a professional surfer, so it's a little hard to take you seriously, Sean.
00:22:34Fine.
00:22:35I don't want your money.
00:22:39But just for the record, Dad, you've never done anything for me.
00:22:42It's always been about you.
00:23:00It's over.
00:23:01You should just drive my car to the ocean and get it over with.
00:23:03Sean, don't say that.
00:23:10He was running across PCH.
00:23:11He didn't have a tag.
00:23:12I was looking to leave him there.
00:23:14No.
00:23:14I mean, he'd get killed.
00:23:20Sean, I have something to confess.
00:23:22What?
00:23:24You know how you told me that every night before you go to bed, you'd pray that you'd get into
00:23:27Stanford?
00:23:28Yeah.
00:23:30Well, the other night I prayed for something, too.
00:23:34What?
00:23:36I prayed that you wouldn't get into Stanford.
00:23:41Why?
00:23:42Well, I didn't really think it was going to work.
00:23:45And I was just sitting here thinking, whoa, my prayer was answered, and I should be happy.
00:23:52I mean, I got into OCU, and now maybe you can go to OCU, too.
00:23:55And you can study creative writing, and I can study marine biology, and we can be together.
00:24:00But then I just started feeling really guilty.
00:24:04I mean, this was your dream.
00:24:06And I'm just being selfish.
00:24:09I just feel awful.
00:24:11No.
00:24:12No.
00:24:12Ashley, this is not your fault.
00:24:14Well, I at least want to try and make it up to you.
00:24:17Thanks.
00:24:18But I really don't think there's anything you can do.
00:24:21Well, maybe there is.
00:24:24Tanya's grandfather's on the board at Stanford.
00:24:26And Tanya's my friend.
00:24:28So maybe she can help us.
00:24:31My grandfather is not going to bend over backwards for just anyone.
00:24:34Tanya, please.
00:24:35Can't you just help us?
00:24:37Can't you see I'm busy?
00:24:44Why don't you go check on the dog?
00:24:46Give him some water, okay?
00:24:47I'll take care of this.
00:24:53Tanya.
00:24:56We need to have a little chat.
00:24:59Excuse me.
00:25:03Look, Sean's my boyfriend.
00:25:05And I would do anything for him.
00:25:08Even if that means breaking a promise to you.
00:25:11What promise?
00:25:13Halloween.
00:25:14Dana's little brother.
00:25:26Everyone knows about that.
00:25:28Maybe.
00:25:30They don't know about Lonnie's memorial.
00:25:37I miss Lonnie.
00:25:40Me too.
00:25:48Hey, I miss Lonnie too.
00:25:55But Ashley, you promised.
00:25:58What about prom night?
00:26:13Hi, Grandma.
00:26:14It's Tanya.
00:26:15Hi.
00:26:16How are you?
00:26:17Yeah?
00:26:18Is Grandpa there?
00:26:22You are so awesome.
00:26:27But hey, we should go.
00:26:29Yeah.
00:26:30Tanya's grandfather wants to meet you in person.
00:26:31I want to meet him.
00:26:32Yeah, he and his wife are going to come by our house at five.
00:26:36My house?
00:26:37Yeah.
00:26:38Do you know who lives at my house?
00:26:41Yeah, that's right.
00:26:42The baby just covers his whole head.
00:26:44Who are you?
00:26:46I'm your wife, Cindy.
00:26:49We met in Maui.
00:26:51Hey, Sean.
00:26:52Look.
00:26:52Bob's still bleeding.
00:26:54What's this?
00:26:55Oh, what is this?
00:26:56Oh, my God.
00:26:57Oh, he likes you.
00:27:00Yes.
00:27:00We found him on PCH.
00:27:02We'll get him out of the house.
00:27:03I don't allow dogs in here.
00:27:05Oh, but he's so sweet.
00:27:08Call Humane Society.
00:27:09They'll have him put to sleep for you.
00:27:10Hey, Ash, don't you think we should put out some, like, cheese and crackers or something?
00:27:14God, they're going to be here in, like, 15 minutes.
00:27:16Yeah, I know.
00:27:17Who's coming?
00:27:20Mom, you might want to put on something more, you know.
00:27:25More what?
00:27:26More what?
00:27:28What's going on?
00:27:31Sean?
00:27:33Sean, what's happening?
00:27:35Okay.
00:27:35Sit down.
00:27:36Sit down, okay?
00:27:37Just sit down.
00:27:38Don't be nervous.
00:27:39But someone very important is coming over to the house.
00:27:42And he's bringing his wife.
00:27:43And if he likes me, he's going to get me into Stanford.
00:27:46They're coming over now?
00:27:47Yeah, they're going to be here in a couple of minutes.
00:27:50Sean, the house is a mess.
00:27:51And Bob is bleeding.
00:27:53And you cannot expect me to drop everything I'm doing and just entertain these strangers.
00:27:58Drop what?
00:27:58What were you doing?
00:28:02Look, this is my last chance to get into Stanford.
00:28:05I know, honey.
00:28:06And it's not a good day for me.
00:28:08But I have to go to college.
00:28:10Why?
00:28:11Because that's what you do after high school.
00:28:14And please don't do this to me, all right?
00:28:16Please don't sabotage me.
00:28:18Because every time I try to depend on you, you start acting like a total lunatic.
00:28:24Oh, Sean.
00:28:25Oh, Sean.
00:28:26Oh, Sean.
00:28:31Bob?
00:28:37Well, I'm sorry.
00:28:39So, uh, so now I'm a bad mother.
00:28:41No, no, you're not.
00:28:42Will you please just put on some clothes?
00:28:44I sacrificed a lot for you, Sean.
00:28:47I sacrificed Damien for you.
00:28:49Your tennis instructor.
00:28:51He was beautiful and serbian.
00:28:53And when your father left, I almost married him.
00:28:56And if I had, we'd be living in a condo, clipping coupons and eating lunch meat.
00:29:00So I didn't.
00:29:02I married Bob for you.
00:29:04I had sex with Bob four times for you.
00:29:08So how can you say I'm a bad mother?
00:29:10I'm not saying that.
00:29:11Mom, you know that money can't buy happiness.
00:29:14Oh, grow up.
00:29:15Yes, it can.
00:29:16You and Dad both have money and you're both miserable.
00:29:19He's miserable?
00:29:21Sean, did he say that?
00:29:24Mom, this is the most decisive day of my life.
00:29:26And all I am asking for is one hour.
00:29:29One hour with no big scenes and no nervous breakdowns and no Meryl Streep impressions.
00:29:33Just one hour where you act like a normal, loving parent.
00:29:38Can you do this for me?
00:29:40Oh, Sean.
00:29:45Yes, I can.
00:29:47Thank you, Mom.
00:29:49Bob, I'll need a glass of wine.
00:29:50There's some Chardonnay in the fridge.
00:29:52Oh, okay.
00:29:52All right.
00:29:53I'll be right back.
00:29:55Don't move.
00:30:01Oh, Ash, I'm really nervous.
00:30:03Don't be.
00:30:04Everything's going to be fine.
00:30:07They're early.
00:30:09Lance.
00:30:11Lance!
00:30:11Some very important people are coming over to the house, so I need you to stay in your room.
00:30:15Why?
00:30:16Because you're an embarrassment.
00:30:18Oh, okay.
00:30:21Sean.
00:30:21Sean.
00:30:22Sean.
00:30:23Sean.
00:30:23Mm-hmm.
00:30:26Mom, they're here.
00:30:28I look like a pinata.
00:30:30Yeah, you look great.
00:30:31Just remember what I said.
00:30:32No big drunken scenes, okay?
00:30:37Yeah.
00:30:38Okay, Lupe's with Bob, Lance is in his room, and Mom is dressed.
00:30:43How do I look?
00:30:45Very handsome.
00:30:47No, just be yourself.
00:30:50Okay.
00:30:50Okay.
00:30:51Okay, come on.
00:30:56You must be sure.
00:30:57Come on.
00:30:58Yes, sir.
00:30:59Yes, sir.
00:30:59Mr. Gantner, please come in.
00:31:01Mrs. Gantner, thank you so much for coming.
00:31:04This is my girlfriend, Ashley.
00:31:06Hi.
00:31:07Nice to meet you.
00:31:08Oh, yes.
00:31:09Your friend's with Tanya.
00:31:10Tanya's very upset by your situation.
00:31:13I don't like it when my granddaughter is upset.
00:31:15Tanya has Arthur wrapped around her little finger.
00:31:18That's right.
00:31:19Hello.
00:31:21Hello.
00:31:22Hello.
00:31:24Hi.
00:31:25I'm Cindy Armand-Biegler.
00:31:27Hello.
00:31:27I'm Arthur Gantner, my wife Vera.
00:31:29How do you do?
00:31:30Hello.
00:31:30Welcome.
00:31:33Excuse me.
00:31:35Won't you please make yourselves at home?
00:31:40Oh, thank you.
00:31:43So, Sean, tell us about yourself.
00:31:45Uh, well, uh, I'm a National Merit Scholar, uh, straight-A student, and, uh, I want to be
00:31:53a writer.
00:31:53Do you like John Grisham?
00:31:56I sure do.
00:31:57Sean's also our class president, and he was the representative at our Model UN.
00:32:04Yeah, he's a fabulous kid, Mr. Gantner.
00:32:07Arthur, please call me Arthur.
00:32:09Even as a little boy, he was so smart.
00:32:13I miss those days.
00:32:15Yeah, the last few years have been, um, really hard.
00:32:19Eh.
00:32:20Eh.
00:32:22I helped my former husband start his business, and as soon as he gets a little money, he
00:32:27started screwing around on me.
00:32:29Oh, my goodness.
00:32:31They left me for, uh, a 20-year-old he met at the gym.
00:32:35Oh.
00:32:35Yeah.
00:32:36I walked in on them at a motel in La Jolla.
00:32:39She's got him naked and handcuffed to the bed.
00:32:44So, we divorced.
00:32:46I remarried.
00:32:47Then this new one, uh, Bob, he starts falling apart, and it's just one shitstorm after the
00:32:57other.
00:32:58Sure.
00:32:59Sure.
00:32:59I don't care.
00:33:00It's in here.
00:33:01I thank you, buddy.
00:33:02It's the best I can.
00:33:03Hurry up.
00:33:04Come on.
00:33:04What's up?
00:33:05Yo.
00:33:07What's up, dude?
00:33:07Bro.
00:33:08We heard you tried to kill Mrs. Cobb.
00:33:10Yes.
00:33:11Are you on a violent rampage, dude?
00:33:12You guys, what do you want?
00:33:15All right, bro.
00:33:16Check it out.
00:33:17We thought in Lonnie's memory, right, we could go down to Emerald Cove, we could take his
00:33:21board, and we could, like, push it out into the ocean.
00:33:25Yeah, or blow it up.
00:33:26Right.
00:33:27Dude, that sounds like a great idea, all right?
00:33:29And we'll do it, but I can't right now, because I got some very important people over, so...
00:33:32Whoa.
00:33:34More important than us, huh?
00:33:36No.
00:33:37More important than Lonnie?
00:33:38Of course not.
00:33:39Yeah, right, bro.
00:33:40This is his birthday, man.
00:33:42Yeah, man.
00:33:42Like, his death birthday?
00:33:45Doesn't that mean anything to you?
00:33:46You know what?
00:33:47Just go hang with your little vips, all right?
00:33:48That's right, man.
00:33:49Sorry we intruded on your tea party.
00:33:52Yeah, if you need us, we'll be out in the van, picking each other's butts.
00:33:55Yeah.
00:33:56Naked.
00:33:56Huh?
00:34:03So I, uh, I visited Stanford in the fall.
00:34:06It's a beautiful campus.
00:34:08Isn't it lovely?
00:34:08We go out there for football games.
00:34:11And, of course, Arthur is on the board, so, uh...
00:34:14Excuse me.
00:34:15Sorry.
00:34:16Sean, have you seen my piss?
00:34:18My parole officer called.
00:34:20He wants that piss.
00:34:21Because, man, I know I got it around here.
00:34:23Lance, don't you see that we have company?
00:34:26Oh.
00:34:26Hey, what's up?
00:34:27Oh, there it is.
00:34:30Oh, oh, I am so sorry.
00:34:33I, okay, look, someone's got to fill this up or I'm going to jail, all right?
00:34:37Just get out of here.
00:34:42Fine.
00:34:49I'd like to propose a toast.
00:34:52Sean has been a wonderful son.
00:34:56And I want him to be happy.
00:35:01I'm going to be alone.
00:35:04Hey!
00:35:04I want...
00:35:06Hey!
00:35:07Oh, dear God.
00:35:10James!
00:35:11Mom, you didn't give Bob his medication.
00:35:14Excuse me for a minute.
00:35:17Dude!
00:35:18Dude!
00:35:19Dude!
00:35:20Where are Bob's pain pills?
00:35:24Shia!
00:35:27No, this is Excedrin.
00:35:29It's a decoy.
00:35:30I put my stash in aspirin bottles.
00:35:32Yellow are painkillers.
00:35:33They go in the Excedrin.
00:35:35Lance, listen to me, all right?
00:35:37I need Bob's pain pills.
00:35:39Bob doesn't have any pain pills.
00:35:40Yes, he does!
00:35:41Not anymore.
00:35:41I sold them, but these are good.
00:35:42What?
00:35:43No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:35:44Wait, uh, yellow are not painkillers.
00:35:48What are they?
00:35:48Just speed.
00:35:49No, they're the Ex.
00:35:50The painkillers are in the title.
00:35:52Give him one of these.
00:35:53It'll knock him right out.
00:35:54Thanks.
00:35:59Wait, please.
00:36:00Mr. Gander, where are you going?
00:36:02People are sick.
00:36:03Your mothers are drunk.
00:36:04Your brothers are pervert.
00:36:05Shame on you for abusing an old man.
00:36:08He's fine.
00:36:09He's having fine, Bob.
00:36:12Look, I know how this looks, all right?
00:36:14But I do everything I can for Bob.
00:36:17I love Bob.
00:36:18Hey, hey!
00:36:32Stanford is for the best and the brightest.
00:36:35The future leaders of America.
00:36:37You'll never go to Stanford as long as I have a breath in my body.
00:36:43Watch your fingers.
00:36:59What happened?
00:37:01He went for a ride, Bob.
00:37:03Oh, no.
00:37:22Oh, no.
00:37:45Down, lay me down, lay me down.
00:37:52Lay down, burn him down.
00:37:56Lay me down.
00:37:57Sean?
00:37:58Are you okay?
00:37:59Sean.
00:38:00Sean!
00:38:05I got you, Betty.
00:38:07You should sue, man.
00:38:09This isn't right.
00:38:10Sue the school.
00:38:10Shut up, Lance.
00:38:12Or you know what?
00:38:13Just go to Stanford anyway.
00:38:14Go up there and take the classes.
00:38:15Don't take no for an answer.
00:38:16Just say, hey, I'm going here.
00:38:18Kiss my ass.
00:38:19That's actually a good idea.
00:38:21What is?
00:38:21I should.
00:38:22I should go up to Stanford.
00:38:24If I talk with the deed of admissions face to face and tell him my situation, he's got to
00:38:27let me in.
00:38:28I can get you there in three hours.
00:38:39You're getting into Stanford, buddy.
00:38:41I know it.
00:38:41I know it!
00:38:42Thanks, man.
00:38:44I have a question for you.
00:38:46No.
00:38:46I got something to say.
00:38:49I'm going to do something with my life.
00:38:51Yeah, man.
00:38:53Good.
00:38:54Dude, I got these ideas.
00:38:56I got so many ideas burning through my skull, buddy.
00:38:59Like, I don't know, like hats and shirts.
00:39:02Like Stussy.
00:39:03Do you know what?
00:39:03Stussy got started out making hats and shirts for surfers in Hawaii.
00:39:07Now he's like a millionaire.
00:39:09He parties in Hawaii 24-7, buddy.
00:39:11And I could do something like that.
00:39:13Don't you think, Sean?
00:39:13Yeah.
00:39:14Like a fucking shirt that says loser.
00:39:17Or, I don't know.
00:39:18I don't know.
00:39:20Talk to the hand.
00:39:21Or something like that, man.
00:39:22Those would sell.
00:39:23Or, you know, I don't know.
00:39:25I just, as I did, like a hat.
00:39:26A big old hat.
00:39:27A little beer.
00:39:28You know?
00:39:29It's going to sell.
00:39:29Whoa!
00:39:32Watch the road, dumbass!
00:39:35People have written me off, man.
00:39:36Did you know that?
00:39:37People have written me off.
00:39:39Like Dad, for one.
00:39:40Hey, just keep your eyes on the road.
00:39:44Dude, I'm going to have the last laugh.
00:39:46Because here's why.
00:39:48Some little chumps go to college.
00:39:49Some little chumps stay home.
00:39:50Some little chumps eat roast beef.
00:39:52Some little chumps have none.
00:39:54But this little chump's going to cry, wee, wee, wee,
00:39:56all the way to the business.
00:39:57You know what I'm saying?
00:39:58Yeah.
00:40:03I love you, dude.
00:40:04I love you too, Lance.
00:40:05We don't say it enough.
00:40:06We don't say it enough.
00:40:07And it's true.
00:40:08And it's not the drugs, buddy.
00:40:26We don't say it enough.
00:40:32I love you too, man.
00:40:37I love you too, man.
00:40:39Hi.
00:40:40I need to talk to the dean of admissions.
00:40:43Well, it's 1030 at night, so he's not here right now.
00:40:47I know, but you see, this is an emergency.
00:40:49Yeah, I'm sure.
00:40:50You'll have to come back tomorrow, though.
00:40:52Could you maybe just give us his phone number?
00:40:55What?
00:40:55His phone number?
00:40:57Please, you guys, cut me some slack.
00:41:00Come back tomorrow, all right?
00:41:01We're closed, okay?
00:41:03That's such crap.
00:41:04That is such crap.
00:41:06Sean, screw her.
00:41:07You know what?
00:41:08Screw her.
00:41:09Are you cold?
00:41:10You want my jacket?
00:41:11Yes, please.
00:41:13Man!
00:41:14She thinks she's so smart because she goes to Stanford.
00:41:16Well, I'm smart, too.
00:41:18You watch.
00:41:19I'm going to pull a MacGyver.
00:41:20I will break in through a window.
00:41:21I'll look around and find a...
00:41:23What do you call that thing?
00:41:25Directory.
00:41:25You stay here.
00:41:26I'm going to be back 15 minutes with the directory.
00:41:29Reconnoiter 15.
00:41:32Well, the dean's probably listed.
00:41:34You could just call information.
00:41:50Ah!
00:41:50Ah!
00:41:52Ah!
00:42:00Hey, what are you doing?
00:42:03Uh, hey, cutie.
00:42:06What do you want?
00:42:11Well, the question is, what do you want?
00:42:21Listen, uh, do you want me to call public safety?
00:42:28Do you want me to get naked and start the revolution?
00:42:36I'll take that as a maybe.
00:42:50Yes?
00:42:51Hi, Mr. Durkik.
00:42:52Yeah?
00:42:52You're such a liar!
00:42:53Girls, Gina, Stephanie, I told you, knock it off!
00:42:56Dad, Stephanie stole my flip-flop!
00:42:58So, deal with it, Gina.
00:43:00Go!
00:43:01Yes?
00:43:02Hi, I'm Sean Brumner.
00:43:04I need to talk to you about my application.
00:43:06It's late.
00:43:07I've got to get up for a 7 o'clock flight.
00:43:08But there's been a big mistake.
00:43:10I'm sorry.
00:43:11There's nothing I can do.
00:43:12Good night.
00:43:18Yes?
00:43:19Hi, Mr. Durkik.
00:43:20Look, we drove all the way here from Orange County.
00:43:23And can't you just give us five minutes of your time?
00:43:26Please?
00:43:28Okay.
00:43:29You have five minutes.
00:43:30Go.
00:43:31Okay.
00:43:33Stanford University was my first choice, all right?
00:43:36In fact, I didn't even apply to any other schools.
00:43:38But my college counselor sent you the wrong transcript.
00:43:41Show me your transcript.
00:43:43I left it in the car.
00:43:44I'm just going to go get it.
00:43:45It's just going to take two seconds.
00:43:46Please don't go anywhere.
00:43:47Okay.
00:43:49Don!
00:43:52Where are our bathing suits?
00:43:53Uh, there's a dive bag, a green mesh dive bag,
00:43:56on the floor of my closet.
00:43:57Just look in there, all right?
00:43:58Who are these people?
00:43:59Get rid of them.
00:44:00All right.
00:44:04Can I have one of those?
00:44:06Oh, yeah.
00:44:07Ha!
00:44:08My head is killing me.
00:44:09Oh, take two.
00:44:10Or three.
00:44:13Yeah, all right.
00:44:14You can just have the whole bottle.
00:44:16Well, you're done down there.
00:44:18I need help closing my suitcase.
00:44:20Okay, I'll be up in five minutes.
00:44:36Coming.
00:44:40Oh, come on.
00:44:42Jesus, you look like a beast.
00:44:45Where's Sean?
00:44:45I need to talk to him.
00:44:47Ah, he's driving to Stanford.
00:44:48He's having a crisis, in case you didn't know.
00:44:50I know all about it.
00:44:52Yeah, you're such a good father.
00:44:53I'm so good to your kids.
00:44:56I need a drink.
00:44:57Do you have any beer, Coyote Ugly?
00:45:02This is an excellent transcript.
00:45:04You should be very proud, but what can I tell you?
00:45:07If I'd had this by January 21st, you might have had a shot, but, uh...
00:45:11Don, I need you.
00:45:15Excuse me.
00:45:19All right, now what is the big deal?
00:45:21He's gonna say no.
00:45:23Hey, don't let him say no.
00:45:26It's gonna be fine.
00:45:28Okay.
00:45:29Thanks.
00:45:32So what's up with your brother and aspirin?
00:45:35Does he, like, get a lot of headaches or what?
00:45:46What is that smell?
00:45:48What am I sitting in?
00:45:49Ah, relax.
00:45:50It's just urine.
00:45:51Oh.
00:45:54You know your son was being a real brat today.
00:45:56Real pain in the ass.
00:45:58My son.
00:45:59He said I was selfish.
00:46:01He said that everything's always about me.
00:46:04He called me a drama queen.
00:46:06He said I was trying to sabotage him.
00:46:14So, how's Bob?
00:46:20Cos, what's her face?
00:46:22She's sleeping around.
00:46:24No.
00:46:26I can't talk to her.
00:46:28She doesn't play tennis.
00:46:31She's not a good mother.
00:46:33She's not like you.
00:46:41Want another beer?
00:46:58Look.
00:47:01Sometimes I leave the office at the end of the day, and I get into my car and head home.
00:47:05And 15 minutes later, I'm here.
00:47:08Parked in front of this house.
00:47:09It's annoying.
00:47:11It's totally out of my way.
00:47:14I made a mistake, and I'm tired of paying for it.
00:47:17I want you back.
00:47:20You're such an asshole.
00:47:30Which ones were they?
00:47:33Um...
00:47:34Excedrin?
00:47:35Excedrin.
00:47:35Okay.
00:47:36Excedrin are...
00:47:38Pain pills.
00:47:39Pain pills?
00:47:40No!
00:47:41Oh, my God!
00:47:42What?
00:47:44We just gave the dean of admissions three hits of...
00:47:52Where were we?
00:47:58Um...
00:47:59Well, Mr. Durkett...
00:48:01Uh...
00:48:02To me, Stanford's not just a school.
00:48:05It's...
00:48:05It's my entire reason for living.
00:48:07Every night before I went to bed, I'd pray that I'd get into Stanford.
00:48:11And I worked really hard.
00:48:14And when all my friends were out having fun, I stayed in and I studied.
00:48:19That's good.
00:48:20That's what you have to do.
00:48:23Eighty-two percent.
00:48:30Wait a second.
00:48:32I like you.
00:48:34What's your name?
00:48:36Sean.
00:48:37Sean.
00:48:38Sean.
00:48:39I like you.
00:48:41I do.
00:48:42I don't know why.
00:48:44I just like you.
00:48:47Thanks.
00:48:48I feel so good!
00:48:53Is it me, or is it, like, hotter than hell in here?
00:48:57Hey, can you help me?
00:48:59Yeah.
00:48:59Yeah!
00:49:00Yes.
00:49:01Yes, I can.
00:49:02No.
00:49:03I'm...
00:49:04There's no time.
00:49:05I'm leaving.
00:49:06Going to Bali.
00:49:07Going to Bali with my family.
00:49:10I love them so much.
00:49:18I need water, or I need to lie down.
00:49:23Hey, before you do that, uh...
00:49:25Sean, you're my same height.
00:49:28That is neat.
00:49:30Yeah, it is.
00:49:31Hey, listen.
00:49:31Let's go to your office, and you can add my name to the acceptance list before you leave for Bali.
00:49:37Sounds good.
00:49:37Sounds good.
00:49:38Yeah.
00:49:41Oh, man.
00:49:42The lights are, like, vivid.
00:49:45Well, it's a beautiful night.
00:49:48You're so beautiful.
00:49:49Oh, thank you.
00:49:50You're welcome.
00:49:51You know, I really appreciate this.
00:49:54That's okay.
00:49:56Sean.
00:49:57Because I feel like I've known you forever.
00:50:02Hey!
00:50:07I have a confession.
00:50:08I never went to college.
00:50:13It's overrated.
00:50:15My brother wants to go here next year.
00:50:19Well, I hope he's...
00:50:22on this list.
00:50:23What's that?
00:50:24It's a list of people they've accepted.
00:50:27They rejected them, the jerks.
00:50:32Don't do that.
00:50:38When I was little, I was a total pyro.
00:50:42I was, too.
00:50:43Ooh!
00:50:51Put that out, man.
00:50:53Put it out.
00:50:55Whoa.
00:50:55Ugh.
00:51:05Who are you people?
00:51:06I'm Sean Brumner.
00:51:08You're going to help me get into Stanford.
00:51:10And we're at your office.
00:51:15Oh, my God!
00:51:25And now we're immediately!
00:51:27Oh, my God!
00:51:28Oh, my God!
00:51:32Oh, my God!
00:51:47Woo!
00:51:51And now we're immediately!
00:51:57Great, do me a favor, back that engine out.
00:51:59We got a knockdown.
00:52:00Okay.
00:52:00It's a negatory, Julio.
00:52:01I need to wedge that popper.
00:52:02Yeah.
00:52:02Hey.
00:52:03Hey.
00:52:05What's your name?
00:52:06Uh, Joe.
00:52:07John.
00:52:08What is it?
00:52:08Joe John.
00:52:09Name's Joe John?
00:52:11Johnston.
00:52:12Johnston.
00:52:13Johnston.
00:52:13Joe.
00:52:13You want to tell me what happened here?
00:52:15Uh, dude, it's a fire.
00:52:16I don't know.
00:52:17I came by and I was...
00:52:21Tracking out the fire.
00:52:22Well, there's a fire.
00:52:23That lady, uh, Mona, she said that you two were in the building when the fire started.
00:52:27Yeah.
00:52:28She's a liar, because I don't know her, so whatever, whatever she says is a lie, so...
00:52:32Okay, so you're saying you weren't in the building with that woman?
00:52:34No, not I.
00:52:35Alright.
00:52:36She started it, alright?
00:52:38Because she was like, I hate my job, I'm gonna burn this mother down!
00:52:42And I said, you better not!
00:52:44You better not!
00:52:47She said it was an electrical fire.
00:52:48It was.
00:52:49It was a total electrical fire.
00:52:50It was like, uh, the switches had sparks coming out, and the sockets, and, uh, it's like
00:52:55the 4th of July, man.
00:52:57Why aren't you wearing your pants, Joe?
00:52:59I tripped, and, uh, then I had to take them off to run faster out of the flames.
00:53:08I think I nailed some smoke.
00:53:10Will you excuse me a while?
00:53:12One second, I'll be right back.
00:53:14I've got a sprinter.
00:53:16Five foot five, no pants, unkempt.
00:53:19Portly.
00:53:21You'll be fine.
00:53:22Wait, w-wait a second.
00:53:24Mr. Durkett.
00:53:26This guy thinks he's the dean of admission.
00:53:33Sean.
00:53:35Sean.
00:53:36Sean.
00:53:37Sean.
00:53:37Sean.
00:53:38So psychedelic.
00:53:39Buddy, I light one match, and the building blows up.
00:53:43Sean.
00:53:46Well, I-I was just trying to help you, bro.
00:53:49By setting the building on fire?
00:53:51Well, I was high.
00:53:54You're always high.
00:53:56You-you're a dragged-out loser.
00:53:58You think you're gonna create a T-shirt company?
00:54:01You can't even dress yourself.
00:54:11I'm so sorry.
00:54:15I should have seen this coming.
00:54:18But one day I need my family to come through for me,
00:54:21they end up doing what they always do.
00:54:24My father goes ballistic, my mother gets plastered,
00:54:27and my brother burns down a building.
00:54:30It's like they've all come together
00:54:31in some evil conspiracy theory.
00:54:32To prevent me from getting anywhere.
00:54:35Is that what you think?
00:54:37What else am I supposed to think?
00:54:42You know, I really believed
00:54:43that you wanted to go to Stanford
00:54:45because you wanted to study with Marcus Skinner.
00:54:49That's not it, is it?
00:54:52What are you talking about?
00:54:53You want to run away.
00:54:56You want to be free of everybody.
00:55:00And you think by coming up here,
00:55:01you're going to meet people that are smarter
00:55:04and saner and better.
00:55:11You know, if you went to Stanford,
00:55:13that'd be the end of us.
00:55:16And it doesn't seem to me like that thought
00:55:18has ever crossed your mind.
00:55:20Oh, Ashley, come on.
00:55:21Sean, I'm sorry you didn't get into Stanford.
00:55:25But if you think that going here
00:55:27is the only way you can be the person you want to be,
00:55:29me?
00:55:33And I just feel sorry for you.
00:55:47Bud!
00:55:52Bud!
00:55:52Bud!
00:56:01What's going on?
00:56:02What are you doing in that bathrobe?
00:56:04I'm not going to lie to you, Christop.
00:56:07Did you sleep with your ex-wife?
00:56:12Ugh.
00:56:14I want a divorce.
00:56:16Really?
00:56:17You can have the house.
00:56:19Really?
00:56:21What about Jake?
00:56:22I thought we could share custody.
00:56:25Okay.
00:56:26Great.
00:56:28Hey, but listen, can you take him tonight?
00:56:30Because there's this new club in Newport
00:56:32that's supposed to be totally bitchin'.
00:56:35Oh.
00:56:36Okay.
00:56:37Thanks, bud.
00:56:38So you have my pager number and my cell phone number.
00:56:41If you need me, just call me.
00:56:42And I think this is a great idea.
00:56:44Good.
00:56:46Later.
00:56:46Later.
00:56:50Yes!
00:56:56Oh.
00:56:58Oh.
00:56:59Oh.
00:57:02Oh.
00:57:10Oh.
00:57:13Oh.
00:57:15Inside, it is a personal thing
00:57:20Where, when I can't stand
00:57:24Up in this cage, I'm not regretting
00:57:30I don't need a better thing
00:57:37I've settled for less
00:57:46What are you reading?
00:57:48Faulkner
00:57:52Great writer
00:57:54Yeah, sure
00:57:56You're an English major?
00:57:58No
00:58:00I don't even go here
00:58:03So you're just visiting
00:58:09I should probably go
00:58:13Okay, it's nice meeting you
00:58:19Hey
00:58:21I'm going to a party
00:58:24I'll maybe come check it out
00:58:27So, uh, so do you like Faulkner?
00:58:30He's okay
00:58:31I mean, he's kind of boring
00:58:32I think I might just get the cliff notes
00:58:36Hey, Gretchen
00:58:37Hey!
00:58:38There's some serious cuties at this party
00:58:40And lock me up because I am horny
00:58:44Guys, this is Sean
00:58:45Hi
00:58:46Hi
00:58:48Oh my God
00:58:49It's a dark snow
00:58:50Oh my God
00:58:51It's a dark snow
00:58:53Oh my God
00:58:54Oh my God
00:58:55Come, my lady
00:58:57Come, come, my lady
00:58:58Do a butterfly
00:58:59Sugar livin'
00:59:01Come, my lady
00:59:01Come, come, my lady
00:59:03Do a butterfly
00:59:04Sugar livin'
00:59:09Oh, Scrabble, I love Scrabble.
00:59:12Last time I played, actually, I threw down the word Mazer.
00:59:15It's a type of small cherry tree.
00:59:17I even got 50 bonus points.
00:59:21So, you don't look familiar.
00:59:23Are you a freshman?
00:59:24No, not even.
00:59:26I'm still in high school.
00:59:27Oh, did you apply to Stanford?
00:59:29No, no, I'm going to Orange County University.
00:59:32That's where I'm from, Orange County.
00:59:33Really?
00:59:34I've heard of Orange County.
00:59:36Yeah, I love it there.
00:59:38The weather's great.
00:59:39People are nice.
00:59:40I really want to be a marine biologist,
00:59:42so it's really the perfect place for me to study.
00:59:46So, what about you?
00:59:47I'm a comparative literature major.
00:59:50Yeah, I want to be a writer.
00:59:51Fiction, poetry, screenplays, whatever, you know.
00:59:55I actually have an idea for a TV show.
00:59:56It's about vampires, ostensibly, you know.
01:00:00But underneath, it's actually about the reunification of Germany.
01:00:04But it's funny.
01:00:05I mean.
01:00:06Yeah, my boyfriend wants to be a writer, too.
01:00:09Your boyfriend?
01:00:11Yeah, Sean.
01:00:12He's really talented.
01:00:15He wrote this great story about growing up in Orange County.
01:00:21And it's just really funny and smart.
01:00:24But, I mean, it doesn't really matter what I think, so.
01:00:28Why not?
01:00:29Oh!
01:00:32Oh!
01:00:36Oh!
01:00:38Oh!
01:00:39Oh!
01:00:40Hey!
01:00:42What's up?
01:00:44Is this your boyfriend?
01:00:47Oh!
01:00:49What are you, like, spying on me?
01:00:51No!
01:00:53I was, uh...
01:00:54I was just up on the balcony.
01:00:56And, uh...
01:00:59Yeah, I was spying on you.
01:01:00Ow!
01:01:01Who's this?
01:01:02I'm Kip.
01:01:05Yeah, Kip.
01:01:06Let's go inside where we can be alone.
01:01:09Oh, come on, Ash!
01:01:11Ashley!
01:01:19Ow!
01:01:49Mr. Skinner?
01:01:59Hi.
01:02:01Hi.
01:02:04You're Marcus Skinner.
01:02:08You're a good writer.
01:02:28I'm obsessed with you, Mr. Skinner.
01:02:31Um, not in a sexual way or a romantic way or anything like that.
01:02:36Just, uh...
01:02:39You're writing.
01:02:41I'm Sean Brumder.
01:02:43I wrote you a letter a couple of months ago.
01:02:45And I sent you one of my stories.
01:02:47Orange County.
01:02:51Yeah.
01:02:54Yeah, wait.
01:02:55Uh, did you read it?
01:02:57Oh, yes.
01:02:58Yeah.
01:02:59It was a great story.
01:03:03I can't, uh...
01:03:08I'm sorry, uh...
01:03:11It's been a long day.
01:03:12Could you just say that, what you just said, just one more time?
01:03:18It was a great story.
01:03:19I really enjoyed it.
01:03:27Mr. Skinner, uh...
01:03:31Dude...
01:03:33You have no idea what that means to me.
01:03:42Characters are unique.
01:03:44Well-drawn.
01:03:46The mother.
01:03:48Drunk.
01:03:49Arguing with all the maids.
01:03:52The brother always passing out everywhere.
01:03:54And I love the girlfriend, the bleeding-heart animal freak.
01:03:56She was my favorite.
01:03:58Yeah, you really love your characters.
01:04:00It comes through in the writing.
01:04:04I...
01:04:04I never really thought about it that way.
01:04:08My only criticism...
01:04:10Yes.
01:04:10Oh, please.
01:04:11It's...
01:04:12It's what I need.
01:04:15You need an ending.
01:04:17I know.
01:04:18I know.
01:04:19I...
01:04:19I just...
01:04:20I don't know how to end it.
01:04:22You should figure that out.
01:04:24Maybe I can help you.
01:04:28Well, uh...
01:04:29I didn't get into Stanford.
01:04:32Yeah.
01:04:33So, uh...
01:04:35So that means I can't work with you.
01:04:44I want to be a good writer, Mr. Skinner.
01:04:47But I'm just afraid...
01:04:49That if I don't get out of Orange County...
01:04:54It's never gonna happen.
01:04:56You don't have to be afraid of that, Sean.
01:04:58You are a good writer.
01:05:00And every good writer has a conflicted relationship...
01:05:03With the place where he grew up.
01:05:05Joyce.
01:05:07Faulkner.
01:05:07Tolstoy.
01:05:09And that's what I remember loving about your story.
01:05:11It's very...
01:05:13Conflicted.
01:05:14Because at the beginning you think these people are doomed.
01:05:17I mean, this family is heading for disaster.
01:05:20And then, as you read on, you see that there exists beneath the surface...
01:05:24These very real connections.
01:05:26These deep relationships.
01:05:31What I took from your story is this.
01:05:35That even in a world where people can be superficial...
01:05:39And stupid and selfish...
01:05:43There's still hope.
01:05:46Was that the message you were trying for?
01:06:04There is a place, it has a face...
01:06:08And he was walking out the door...
01:06:15Three times done, and you're gone, and you're gone.
01:06:20You are free, you are free, it's a long way home.
01:06:25What have we done, was it wrong, was it wrong?
01:06:30Was it mean, can't you see, it's a long way home.
01:06:38Sean, Sean, Sean, Sean, Sean, Sean, Sean, Sean, Sean, Sean, over here.
01:06:45Sorry.
01:06:46Ow!
01:06:47God!
01:06:48Sorry.
01:06:49Damn!
01:06:50God, Lance!
01:06:52I'm sorry.
01:06:52It's okay, it's just a name.
01:06:55Dude, you will never believe who I just met.
01:06:58Who?
01:06:58Marcus Skinner.
01:07:00I met Marcus Skinner!
01:07:02What?
01:07:03Who?
01:07:03The writer.
01:07:04Okay.
01:07:04He liked my story.
01:07:06He liked my story.
01:07:07Shut up!
01:07:08That's awesome, but I am going to prison.
01:07:10What?
01:07:11Yeah, some cops are right on my ass.
01:07:13Now, listen, I've been thinking about it.
01:07:14We are going to Mexico, buddy, right now.
01:07:16Oh, Lance.
01:07:17Please.
01:07:23Oh, God.
01:07:25Okay, all right, fine.
01:07:26We're leaving.
01:07:27We're leaving, but we gotta get Ashley first.
01:07:29No, I'm sorry.
01:07:31No, that's not in the car, Spresif.
01:07:32Listen, she'll be fine.
01:07:33Just forget about her.
01:07:34Some dude will pick her up and give her a nice bed to sleep in.
01:07:37Lance.
01:07:38Okay, we will go and get her, but you gotta follow me,
01:07:40because I am an expert at escaping.
01:07:43Let's go fast escape.
01:07:45Fast escapes are my expertise.
01:07:46Come on.
01:07:48Be careful.
01:07:50Follow me.
01:07:58Lance, are you okay?
01:08:02Go get the Bronco, Sean, and come back for me.
01:08:06Okay.
01:08:07Dude!
01:08:09Promise me, dude.
01:08:11Yeah, I promise.
01:08:19The whole time I'm thinking it's the alternator.
01:08:22My bro says to me, no, bro.
01:08:24It's the carburetor.
01:08:25And it turned out he was right.
01:08:27Ha, ha, ha.
01:08:29Ha, ha, ha.
01:08:33Ashley!
01:08:36Would you get in the car?
01:08:38I'm mad at you, remember?
01:08:39I know, but can we talk about it in the car, please?
01:08:43Hey, you heard her.
01:08:44Okay, why don't you leave her alone?
01:08:46Hey, butt out, dude.
01:08:47Ashley, get in the car right now.
01:08:48Get in the car.
01:08:49No.
01:08:53Sean, apologize to her.
01:08:55Tell her you're sorry.
01:08:56I'm sorry!
01:08:59Dude, come on.
01:09:00Say it like you mean it.
01:09:06Ashley, I'm so sorry.
01:09:10Now tell her you love her.
01:09:14Tell her you love her.
01:09:17I love you.
01:09:19I love you so much.
01:09:23Good.
01:09:24You love him, he loves you.
01:09:27Damn, Bronco!
01:09:28Ashley, now!
01:09:30Now!
01:09:32Kip, it was really nice to meet you.
01:09:35Get in the car!
01:09:50Sean.
01:09:52Yeah?
01:09:53What?
01:09:55Lance isn't going to be able to hear anything.
01:09:58He's passed out.
01:10:00He's not going to wake up.
01:10:01I promise.
01:10:03Okay, you don't believe me?
01:10:04Lance.
01:10:06Lance!
01:10:10See?
01:10:11Nothing.
01:10:12He's out cold, like a light.
01:10:13Come on.
01:10:15He'll be fine.
01:10:16I promise.
01:10:17Okay?
01:10:42Clearly you're not an expert on negotiations, so let me just walk you through this.
01:10:46You come in with a proposal that's over the top.
01:10:48You want a new gymnasium, $40 million.
01:10:50Then I counter with a low-ball offer,
01:10:53like $2,000 for a medicine ball.
01:10:56That is absurd and defensive.
01:10:57What?
01:10:58It's offensive, sir.
01:10:59Stanford University...
01:11:00No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:11:01You already have a medicine ball.
01:11:02No, you're not hearing me.
01:11:04No, sir, I believe it's you who's not hearing me.
01:11:06You're not hearing me!
01:11:10Hey, hey, hey, drink your milk.
01:11:13I don't want milk.
01:11:14I want my pooty.
01:11:15Well, your pooty's been retired.
01:11:18You're a little big for...
01:11:19Where are you going?
01:11:21What?
01:11:22You don't want the milk, fine.
01:11:24You want some juice?
01:11:25Yes, okay.
01:11:26Why don't you go to the fridge,
01:11:27open it up and get yourself some.
01:11:29And get some for me while you're at it!
01:11:32Oh, you're helpful.
01:11:33Finally, some help around here.
01:11:37Hey, don't rot yourself on fire.
01:11:41It's only in your head you feel left out.
01:11:44Oh, look down on...
01:11:47Just try your...
01:11:48Hey, guys, what's up?
01:11:49Hey, what's up, dude?
01:11:51Hey, dude, check this out.
01:11:53Last night, we're at this party,
01:11:55and little Arlo here, he decides to, like,
01:11:58profess his undying love for me.
01:11:59Did I tell you it was a fruitcake or what?
01:12:01Bro, bro, that's not true.
01:12:03This is the real story, dude.
01:12:05Chad crashed at my house, right?
01:12:07And I woke up in the night.
01:12:09He was fondling my...
01:12:10Dude, I lost my keys.
01:12:13I was looking for him.
01:12:15You guys want to come in?
01:12:17All right.
01:12:22Jake.
01:12:24Yo.
01:12:25What are you doing here?
01:12:26Hello, everybody.
01:12:28Hey, Bob.
01:12:29How was your trip?
01:12:31It was okay.
01:12:35Now, just come back with an offer.
01:12:38Yeah, well, we don't have to dot the I's and cross the T's.
01:12:40You have your people, I have my people.
01:12:42I'll call you back.
01:12:43My kids just walked in the door.
01:12:46Hi, guys.
01:12:47Dad?
01:12:48Dad?
01:12:54Mom, what is going on?
01:12:57Ah, Sean?
01:12:58Lance?
01:12:59Um, something happened last night.
01:13:02Your mother and I, we, uh...
01:13:07Well...
01:13:09You banged Mom?
01:13:12That's not the word I would use,
01:13:13but, uh...
01:13:14Yes, we came together.
01:13:17Ah.
01:13:19Are you serious?
01:13:20Guess what else we did?
01:13:22I've been on the phone all morning with Stanford.
01:13:24Your mother and I donated the money
01:13:25for a new admissions building.
01:13:27I guess the old one burned down.
01:13:31We got you into Stanford, Sean.
01:13:40You did that for me?
01:13:42Yeah.
01:13:43Really?
01:13:46Yeah, bro.
01:13:47Way to go, man.
01:13:48You're stoked, dude.
01:13:50Yeah!
01:13:51Stanford!
01:13:57Congratulations, Sean.
01:13:58That's...
01:13:59That is awesome.
01:14:00I was sitting in a cabbie movie
01:14:05With my hands on my chin
01:14:10All the violence that occurs
01:14:14Seem like we never win
01:14:21Love and mercy, that's what you need tonight
01:14:29So, love and mercy to you and your friends tonight
01:14:39I was lying in my room and the news came on TV
01:14:45Uh, hey.
01:14:56I was just up in my room, uh, thinking about Faulkner
01:14:59And, uh, wondering if he had left the South
01:15:03Would he have ever written a light in August?
01:15:07Or what if, uh, what if James Joyce had left Ireland?
01:15:10Well, I mean, he did leave Ireland, but not in his heart
01:15:15And do you see what I'm getting at here?
01:15:20I don't need to go to Stanford to be a writer
01:15:24All I need are the people who inspire me
01:15:28Like my friends
01:15:31And my family
01:15:37And you
01:15:40So I'm gonna stay
01:15:43I'm gonna stay in Orange County
01:15:45You are!
01:15:47What?
01:15:47Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
01:15:49That's what you need to come now
01:15:54So, how might I do?
01:15:58I'm gonna take it off to the last
01:16:01Stay off me
01:16:02For the fuck
01:16:03Yeah!
01:16:05Hey, you're right, you're right
01:16:06Don't give us what you need tonight.
01:16:13Dear Mr. Skinner,
01:16:15I'm writing you to say thank you for all your words of wisdom.
01:16:19It took me a while, but I finally realized Orange County
01:16:23is the perfect environment for an aspiring writer.
01:16:26Today I went down to the beach with a copy of your book.
01:16:29I left it there by the water.
01:16:33Maybe another mixed-up kid will stumble upon it.
01:16:35And maybe it'll change his life like it changed mine.
01:16:39Later, Mr. Skinner.
01:16:41Yours truly, Sean Brumder.
01:16:49Dude, don't touch. I'm lighting the fire, okay?
01:16:52It was my idea, and you're an idiot.
01:16:54You're gonna blow off your hand. Just give me the lighter.
01:16:56No, dude. Lonnie would have wanted me to blow up his...
01:16:59Bro, Lonnie thought you were a tool, okay?
01:17:01No, Lonnie thought you were a fool, dude.
01:17:02Hey, guys. What are you doing?
01:17:04It was gonna blow up on his board, man.
01:17:07It's gonna be explosive.
01:17:08Dude, you got so many M-80s.
01:17:10It's gonna be like the 4th of July.
01:17:14Dude, what are you doing?
01:17:15I'm going surfing!
01:17:18All right!
01:17:20Yeah!
01:17:21Come on, let's go!
01:17:33Boom!
01:17:52Woo-hoo!
01:17:52Kevin!
01:17:52That's right
01:17:55Whatever you need
01:17:57What I would give if you should ask it to me
01:18:01To make you feel complete
01:18:05Hello, hello, won't you come right in
01:18:09I'd give anything just to see you again
01:18:13Hello, hello, won't you come right in
01:18:17Step into my world where you know you're everything
01:18:26Everything, yeah
01:18:28You know I feel so peculiar
01:18:33You know I feel so peculiar
01:18:37You know I feel so strange
01:19:03We've been on the run
01:19:05Driving in the sun
01:19:07Picking up for number one
01:19:09California, here we come
01:19:12Right back where we started from
01:19:15Well, hustlers grab your guns
01:19:17Your shadow weighs a ton
01:19:19Diving down the 101
01:19:22California, here we come
01:19:24Right back where we started from
01:19:28California
01:19:36Here we come
01:19:43On the stereo
01:19:44Listen as we go
01:19:46Nothing's gonna stop me now
01:19:48California, here we come
