00:00:30Mr. Marcus Skinner, care of the English department, Stanford University.
00:00:38Dear Mr. Skinner, my name is Sean Brumder, and I think you are a total genius.
00:00:45I live in California, in a place called Orange County.
00:00:56A year ago, I was just another Orange County surfer, spending my days at the beach with
00:01:00my buddies, playing volleyball, and spending my nights around a bonfire party.
00:01:13School was always a walk for me.
00:01:15I did pretty well without trying too hard.
00:01:18Dude, bro, there's a tropical storm three miles off Laguna.
00:01:20Let's go, dude, surf shop.
00:01:22But I was easily distracted.
00:01:23What about next period?
00:01:2520 footers, man.
00:01:26Screw your period.
00:01:2720 footers?
00:01:29Then, last April, me and my crew drove out to Emerald Cove to catch some major tsunami waves.
00:01:47I don't know, you guys.
00:01:50Dude, face the fear.
00:01:55This is intense!
00:01:58Yahoo!
00:02:15Righteous!
00:02:16Close your eyes and it's past, story of my life.
00:02:23Lonnie always said that he wanted to die eating foam in a massive wipeout.
00:02:28But I bet he's up in heaven right now.
00:02:30After Lonnie drowned, I did some heavy meditating.
00:02:34I thought, maybe there's more to life than extreme sports and trying to get laid.
00:02:40Maybe there's a bigger purpose for me and I've just been too high to figure it out.
00:02:45I was sitting on the beach, totally cogitating.
00:02:48I looked down and there in the sand was a copy of your book.
00:02:55It was like a sign, like your book was calling out to me.
00:03:00Read me.
00:03:02For the next few days, I read it from cover to cover.
00:03:06Your book totally captured what it's like to be a teenager.
00:03:09The excitement, the confusion, the horniness.
00:03:13Sometimes I laughed so hard I thought I was going to puke and die.
00:03:18And other times I cried.
00:03:23Sean, are you okay?
00:03:25It's just so sad.
00:03:29I read your book 52 times that month and I finally realized what I wanted to do with my life.
00:03:36I want to be a writer.
00:03:39I've been writing ever since.
00:03:41It's all I ever do.
00:03:43All day and all night sometimes.
00:03:45It was hard to get going, but once I did, I couldn't stop.
00:03:50I'm like a machine and nothing else matters.
00:03:53Guys, I'm selling my board.
00:03:55Dude.
00:03:56I don't have time to surf.
00:03:57I need to focus on my writing.
00:04:00What?
00:04:00My friends think I've lost my mind.
00:04:03He's lost his mind.
00:04:05Let's get lit and go jump off the roof of my house.
00:04:08Now you're talking.
00:04:12I need some feedback and there's no one here to help me.
00:04:15I got your story here, Sean.
00:04:17Wow.
00:04:17I have the sneaking suspicion that my English teacher is illiterate.
00:04:22I noticed you used a lot of big words.
00:04:24Nice.
00:04:25Good for you.
00:04:26It was a little long, so I didn't read the whole thing, but who cares because I gave you an
00:04:30A.
00:04:32My brother Lance is perpetually recovering from the night before.
00:04:41I'm sorry.
00:04:42I don't feel good.
00:04:46My girlfriend is the only one who's actually read my work, but she's always so positive it's
00:04:51hard to take her seriously.
00:04:52It's like the best story I've ever read.
00:04:56Really?
00:04:58It's funny and original.
00:05:02I mean, I think it could be a movie.
00:05:15I don't know if Orange County is the best environment for an aspiring writer, so I'm applying to Stanford
00:05:21to study with you.
00:05:23You are a shoo-in.
00:05:26Do you think I should apply to some safety schools?
00:05:29No, me.
00:05:30Don't you be a scaredy cat.
00:05:31There's no doubt in my mind that you're going to go to Berkeley.
00:05:35Stanford.
00:05:36Yeah, Stanford is where you're going, mister.
00:05:40I'm sending you a copy of my story.
00:05:43Hopefully, with your wisdom and guidance, I will one day be a real writer.
00:05:48I look forward to seeing you in the fall, mister Skinner.
00:05:52Your greatest admirer.

00:07:08I need your urine.

00:07:28Hey, Bob!
00:07:29What?
00:07:31Something's wrong with Bob.
00:07:32Did you feed him his pills today?
00:07:34I don't know.
00:07:36Is he okay?
00:07:37Hey, who?
00:07:38You gotta remember to feed him his pills, Mom.
00:07:41Look it!
00:07:43Did you give Bob his pills?
00:07:45I'm not a nurse.
00:07:47Sean, you forgot to get rid of her right now.
00:07:50Okay, baby?
00:07:50She has a bad attitude.
00:07:52And she's...
00:07:53You stole my Palm Pilot!
00:07:55You did!
00:07:56Admit it.
00:07:58That's it.
00:07:59No, you did.
00:08:00Renuncio.

00:08:11No, no, no, no!

00:08:12I don't know if my mom's a little crazy.
00:08:14but we need your help.
00:08:16How's it? Did you double your salary?
00:08:18Yeah, it's over.
00:08:21Thank you very much.
00:08:36What? What's wrong? What's she saying?
00:08:38Uh, she's sorry.
00:08:40And she thinks you're an incredible lady.
00:08:41Hey, listen, Mom, when the mail comes,
00:08:44will you call me on my cell?
00:08:46Because I'm supposed to hear from Stanford today.
00:08:49Oh, come on. Don't get upset, Mom.
00:08:55All right?
00:08:56You knew this day was gonna come.
00:08:58I'm just going to college.
00:08:59It's not like I'm leaving the planet.
00:09:02Mom, get a grip.
00:09:03No, I won't.
00:09:05I'm going back to bed.
00:09:11I won't.
00:09:13I won't.
00:09:14I won't.
00:09:15I won't.
00:09:19You may push me around,
00:09:21but you cannot win.
00:09:23Shawnee, check this out, man. You gotta help us out, okay?
00:09:25Don't call me a punk. Don't call me a punk.
00:09:27You're a punk.
00:09:27I know what you're gonna say, Shawnee.
00:09:28You remember the night we all went golfing,
00:09:30and I paid for everyone.
00:09:31Dude, who paid for parking, bro?
00:09:33Who paid?
00:09:34I don't remember you ever paying for anything in your sorry life, okay?
00:09:37Yeah, of course you don't remember what someone else pays
00:09:38or whatever you pay. It's like, stop the press.
00:09:40Hey, did you guys know that it's April 15th?
00:09:43A year ago today, Lonnie died.
00:09:48Oh, wait, dude. That's true.
00:09:49I can't believe it's been a whole year.
00:09:52Well, I was thinking that, you know,
00:09:54maybe we should do something in his memory.
00:09:57Yeah.
00:09:58We should pull a killer prank.
00:10:00We should go jump off something, dudes.
00:10:02Yeah, bro, or blow something up.
00:10:04Hey, maybe we should go on down to Emerald Cove
00:10:06and have a little surf in Lonnie's memory.
00:10:08Dude, Shawn doesn't surf anymore, stupid.
00:10:10Oh, yeah, I forgot he doesn't surf or skate or pick his bike, dude.
00:10:13He's a writer, boy.
00:10:14Now whatever he does, locked his room all day.
00:10:14Yeah, what's up with old Dr. Seuss?
00:10:16Cat in the hat.
00:10:18Principal Harper, as you may know,
00:10:20there was an oil spill last week off the Costa Redondo,
00:10:22and today's paper just says hundreds of seagulls have been affected.
00:10:26So I propose a school-sponsored fundraiser
00:10:29with all the proceeds going to the seagull rehabilitation fund.
00:10:33As the community service leader,
00:10:35I think we would be morally remiss
00:10:37if we did nothing for these seagulls.
00:10:39Fine.
00:10:41One more.
00:10:42Last one.
00:10:44After this, we let all sick and endangered animals die horrible deaths.
00:10:49Agreed?
00:10:50Now, people, June is just around the corner.
00:10:55Let's talk graduation speakers. Ideas?
00:10:58Uh, Toni Morrison.
00:11:00She's in town that same weekend for a book signing.
00:11:03She's won the Nobel Prize.
00:11:06Interesting.
00:11:08Dana, didn't you say you have a cousin who's friends with Britney Spears?
00:11:12Yeah, best friends.
00:11:18Now, when I say Romeo and Juliet, who comes to mind?
00:11:23Dana?
00:11:25Claire Danes.
00:11:26That's right, Claire Danes.
00:11:27Who else?
00:11:29Leonardo DiCaprio.
00:11:30Right?
00:11:31Who else?
00:11:33Well, you know, someone else was involved in that movie
00:11:36who in some ways is as famous as Leonardo DiCaprio.
00:11:39And his name's William Shakespeare.
00:11:42And some great movies are based on his plays.
00:11:46Hamlet.
00:11:47West Side Story.
00:11:49Talented Mr. Ripley.
00:11:52Waterworld.
00:11:54Gladiator.
00:11:55Chocolat.
00:11:57Mr. Burke.
00:11:58As you know, my boyfriend drowned in a surfing accident.
00:12:02I don't think I can handle Romeo and Juliet right now.
00:12:06Emotionally.
00:12:08Tanya, Lonnie died a year ago.
00:12:10Well, sometimes it takes decades to recover from a tragedy like this.
00:12:14You only went out with him for two weeks.
00:12:17Tanya!
00:12:18Your mom's outside!
00:12:19She said you got it to Stanford!
00:12:22Oh!
00:12:23Let it shine, oh, let it shine.
00:12:27Let it shine, oh, let it shine.
00:12:32Let it shine, let it shine, oh, let it shine.
00:12:36Let it shine, oh, let it shine.
00:12:40Mr. Grande, you are the defendant.
00:12:43Uh...
00:12:46Uh...
00:12:46Hello?
00:12:47Hey, Lance, can you do me a favor?
00:12:49Who are you looking for?
00:12:51It's Sean!
00:12:52Come on.
00:12:53Sean, pick up the phone!
00:12:55You and your daughter.
00:12:57Right.
00:12:58When did you connect?
00:12:59He's not here.
00:13:07What?
00:13:08Lance, will you please just go to the door and tell me if the mail's there?
00:13:11I'm begging you!
00:13:12Fine, fine.
00:13:15Do I have to turn on your computer?
00:13:17No, no, no, no, no. Just go to the front door. The mail would be in the mailbox.
00:13:24Okay. You owe me one, buddy.
00:13:32Yeah, it's here.
00:13:39Now I'm on my way. I'm on my way.
00:13:46I'm on my way. I'm on my way.
00:13:55I don't even care, because I'm on my way.
00:14:01Today's the big day, Gary.
00:14:04Look at me. I'm naked.
00:14:09Lance, where is it?
00:14:13Come on. Where is it? Come on. Where is the mail?
00:14:16I don't know.
00:14:16Are you sitting on it?
00:14:18Oh, dude, I see it on the floor.
00:14:25Push him.
00:14:26Bob.
00:14:28Bob, I'm moving your chair.
00:14:38This is it. This is my future, right here in this envelope.
00:14:42Hey, you're blocking the tube.
00:14:45Oh, sorry.
00:14:54We regret to inform you that your application to Stanford University was not accepted.
00:15:01Wait.
00:15:02What?
00:15:08I didn't get in.
00:15:11I didn't get in.
00:15:13What?
00:15:16But I don't get it.
00:15:18No, I don't understand.
00:15:22You're overreacting, dude.
00:15:25I didn't get into college and check me out.
00:15:28I'm kick-ass.
00:15:30Sean?
00:15:31Sean?
00:15:33What's wrong?
00:15:35Something horrible has happened.
00:15:38Is Bob dead?
00:15:40Did something break?
00:15:44Got rejected from Stanford.
00:15:48Oh.
00:15:50Oh, Sean.
00:15:51Oh, baby.
00:15:52I'm sorry.
00:15:54It's okay.
00:15:55I'm so sorry.
00:15:59You're just going to have to go somewhere closer to home.
00:16:01Oh, that's all.
00:16:02And you get to keep living here with Lance and Bob and me.
00:16:12Today has to...
00:16:17Let it get me down.
00:16:22Yeah!
00:16:29Okay.
00:16:30And are you a student here?
00:16:33Yes, I'm a student here.
00:16:34I'm Sean Brumner.
00:16:35I'm the class president.
00:16:37And you didn't get into Stanford?
00:16:38Too bad.
00:16:39Tough break.
00:16:40Where else did you apply?
00:16:43Nowhere.
00:16:44You told me I was a shoo-in.
00:16:46Nowhere?
00:16:46Not even a safety school?
00:16:49You said shoo-in.
00:16:50Let's calm down.
00:16:51Let's see what we can do.
00:16:52I'm just going to pull up your file.
00:16:57Well, it looks here like your GPA is, what, 2.5, and your SATs combined are 940?
00:17:03No.
00:17:04No, that's low.
00:17:06940?
00:17:07No.
00:17:08No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:17:08I had a 1520.
00:17:10No, it says 940.
00:17:13That's not my transcript.
00:17:15That's Shane Brainerd's transcript.
00:17:18And you are?
00:17:19Sean Brumder.
00:17:29No.
00:17:31No.
00:17:32No, you didn't.
00:17:34You couldn't have.
00:17:39You sent in the wrong transcript?
00:17:43What's up, Shane?
00:17:45You guys, I got into Stanford.
00:17:49I'm playing this joke, and it'll hit me in.
00:17:53Freaking out.
00:17:54No, I didn't.
00:17:55Yes, you did.
00:17:56No, I didn't.
00:17:57Yes, you did.
00:17:58You just don't throw accusations around here.
00:18:01This is nobody's fault.
00:18:02Yes, it is.
00:18:03It's your fault.
00:18:04You know you're screeching at me.
00:18:06Because you are a moron.
00:18:08Now, listen to me, lady.
00:18:09Oh, yeah.
00:18:10Oh.
00:18:16Call Red, call Red, call 9-1-1.
00:18:19Call Red, call 9-1-1.
00:18:21Call Red, call 9-1-1.
00:18:50Hey, watch this.
00:18:53Konya, I got a dick.
00:18:57Yeah.
00:18:59I got to get out of here.
00:19:02I got to get out of Orange County.
00:19:06Sean, where are you going?
00:19:08I'm going to my dad's.
00:19:10Ow.
00:19:18All right.
00:19:20I'm going to go in there, and I'm going to say to my dad that he abandoned our family.
00:19:23And if he wants to make it up to me, well, then he can start now by making a massive
00:19:28donation to Stanford.
00:19:29Sean.
00:19:30Okay, remember when all the sea lions kept beaching themselves in Corona Del Mar, and nobody was doing anything about
00:19:36it?
00:19:36Well, me getting all hysterical didn't help anything.
00:19:40This is it, Ashley.
00:19:41I'm going to tell my dad that I want to be a writer.
00:19:44Hey.
00:19:46Good luck.
00:19:48Thanks.
00:19:55Who are you?
00:19:57I'm Sean.
00:19:59I'm your brother.
00:20:00What are you sucking on?

00:20:03Ah.
00:20:04Well, aren't you a little old for a pootie?
00:20:07Mm.
00:20:07Bam!
00:20:09Jake, what did you just do?
00:20:13Go pick up your pootie or you're going to get a timeout, mister.
00:20:15No.
00:20:16Pick up your pootie.
00:20:17No.
00:20:18That's it!
00:20:19Rosa, take Jake upstairs and give him some Ritalin.
00:20:22I don't like your attitude.
00:20:24I don't like your attitude.
00:20:27Gah.
00:20:28Woof.
00:20:29Isn't he getting big?
00:20:32So what's up with you?
00:20:34You look great.
00:20:35You look really filled out.
00:20:36Your arms and your chest.
00:20:42You been working out?
00:20:44No.
00:20:45Bud is getting so fat.
00:20:48You should really talk to him.
00:20:50He's going to have a heart attack.
00:20:53Plus he's fat.
00:20:56God damn it!
00:20:57Are you trying to ruin me?
00:20:58Yeah, where is my dad?
00:21:00If you do this, I will eat your face!
00:21:04Come, my lady.
00:21:05Come, come, my lady.
00:21:06You're my butterfly, sugar.
00:21:08Baby, my lady.
00:21:11Oh, puppy!
00:21:13Oh, God!
00:21:15Oh, my God, puppy!
00:21:17A writer?
00:21:18What do you have to write about?
00:21:20You're not oppressed.
00:21:20You're not gay.
00:21:21Not all writers are gay.
00:21:23Yeah, well, they're all poor.
00:21:24I can tell you that.
00:21:25It's not true.
00:21:26What about Tom Clancy, Stephen King, Anne Rice?
00:21:30Three people in the history of literature.
00:21:33Well, the truth is I don't care about making money.
00:21:40Sean, I have a burst blood vessel in my brain.
00:21:44I could die at any moment.
00:21:46But I keep plugging away day after day because I want to leave you with something special,
00:21:51a business, a legacy.
00:21:55I want my booty!
00:21:56Hey, pal.
00:21:57Control yourself.
00:21:58Can you give me that?
00:22:00I want my booty!
00:22:02Where's your mother?
00:22:03Rosa!
00:22:04Will you get in here?
00:22:05Where?
00:22:05Yeah, I'm coming!
00:22:06Rosa!
00:22:08Can you get him out of here?
00:22:09Doesn't he need a nap?
00:22:10Come here, Jake.
00:22:11We want him to earn some limits.
00:22:14Uh, Sean.
00:22:18This is my life's work here.
00:22:20When I started out, I had nothing.
00:22:22Now look at me.
00:22:23I've got eight and a half million square feet in Irvine alone.
00:22:26It's a goddamn empire and I want to leave it to you.
00:22:28Where?
00:22:29This is the life I want for you.
00:22:32Yeah, but what about what I want?
00:22:34You want to be a writer?
00:22:35Well, before that, you wanted to be a professional surfer,
00:22:38so it's a little hard to take you seriously, Sean.
00:22:42Fine.
00:22:43I don't want your money.
00:22:47But just for the record, Dad, you've never done anything for me.
00:22:50It's always been about you.
00:23:00What the f...
00:23:08It's over.
00:23:09You should just drive my car into the ocean and get it over with.
00:23:11Sean, don't say that.
00:23:18He was running across PCH.
00:23:19He didn't have a tag.
00:23:20I was looking to leave him there.
00:23:21No.
00:23:22I mean, he'd get killed.
00:23:28Sean, I have something to confess.
00:23:30What?
00:23:32You know how you told me that every night before you go to bed, you'd pray that you'd get into
00:23:35Stanford?
00:23:36Yeah.
00:23:38Well, the other night I prayed for something, too.
00:23:42What?
00:23:44I prayed that you wouldn't get into Stanford.
00:23:49Why?
00:23:50Well, I didn't really think it was going to work.
00:23:52Aww.
00:23:53And I was just sitting here thinking,
00:23:55Whoa.
00:23:56My prayer was answered.
00:23:58And I should be happy.
00:24:00I mean, I got into OCU, and now maybe you can go to OCU, too.
00:24:03And you can study creative writing, and I can study marine biology, and we can be together.
00:24:08But then I just started feeling really guilty.
00:24:12I mean, this was your dream.
00:24:15And I'm just being selfish.
00:24:17I just feel awful.
00:24:19No.
00:24:20Actually, this is not your fault.
00:24:22Well, I at least want to try and make it up to you.
00:24:25Thanks, but I really don't think there's anything you can do.
00:24:30Well, maybe there is.
00:24:32Tanya's grandfather's on the board at Stanford.
00:24:34And Tanya's my friend.
00:24:36So maybe she can help us.
00:24:39My grandfather is not going to bend over backwards for just anyone.
00:24:42Tanya, please, can't you just help us?
00:24:45Can't you see I'm busy?
00:24:52Why don't you go check on the dog?
00:24:54Give him some water, okay?
00:24:56I'll take care of this.
00:25:01Tanya.
00:25:04We need to have a little chat.
00:25:08Excuse me.
00:25:12Look, Sean's my boyfriend.
00:25:13And I would do anything for him.
00:25:16Even if that means breaking a promise to you?
00:25:19What promise?
00:25:20Halloween.
00:25:22Dana's little brother.
00:25:34Everyone knows about that.
00:25:36Maybe.

00:40:48I need to talk to the dean of admissions.
00:40:51Well, it's 1030 at night, so he's not here right now.
00:40:55I know, but you see, this is an emergency.
00:40:57Yeah, I'm sure.
00:40:58You'll have to come back tomorrow, though.
00:41:00Could you maybe just give us his phone number?
00:41:03What?
00:41:03His phone number?
00:41:05Please, you guys, cut me some slack.
00:41:08Come back tomorrow, all right?
00:41:09We're closed, okay?
00:41:11That's such crap.
00:41:13That is such crap.
00:41:14Sean, screw her.
00:41:15You know what?
00:41:16Screw her.
00:41:17Are you cold?
00:41:18You want my jacket?
00:41:19Yes, please.
00:41:21Man.
00:41:22She thinks she's so smart because she goes to Stanford.
00:41:24Well, I'm smart, too.
00:41:26You watch.
00:41:27I'm going to pull a MacGyver.
00:41:28I will break in through a window.
00:41:29I'll look around and find a, what do you call that thing?
00:41:33Directory, you stay here.
00:41:34I'm going to be back 15 minutes with the directory.
00:41:37Reconnoiter, 15.
00:41:40Well, the dean's probably listed.
00:41:42You could just call information.
00:42:08Hey, what are you doing?
00:42:11Uh, hey, cutie.
00:42:14What do you want?
00:42:19Well, the question is, what do you want?
00:42:29Listen, uh, do you want me to call public safety?
00:42:35Do you want me to get naked and start the revolution?
00:42:44I'll take that as a maybe.
00:42:58Yes?
00:42:58Hi, Mr. Durkett.
00:43:00Yeah?

00:43:36Okay.
00:43:37You have five minutes.
00:43:38Go.
00:43:39Okay.
00:43:41Stanford University was my first choice, all right?
00:43:44In fact, I didn't even apply to any other schools.
00:43:46But my college counselor sent you the wrong transcript.
00:43:49Show me your transcript.
00:43:51I left it in the car.
00:43:52I'm just going to go get it.
00:43:53It's just going to take two seconds.
00:43:54Please don't go anywhere.
00:43:55Okay.
00:43:57Don!
00:44:00Where are our bathing suits?
00:44:01Uh, there's a dive bag, a green mesh dive bag on the floor of my closet.
00:44:05Just look in there, all right?
00:44:06Who are these people?
00:44:07Get rid of them.
00:44:07All right.
00:44:12Can I have one of those?
00:44:14Oh, yeah.
00:44:16My head is killing me.
00:44:17Oh, take two or three.
00:44:21Yeah, all right.
00:44:22You can just have the whole bottle.
00:44:24Well, you're done down there.
00:44:26Now, I need help closing my suitcase.
00:44:28Okay.
00:44:29I'll be up in five minutes.
00:44:43Coming.
00:44:48Oh, come on.
00:44:50Jesus, you look like a beast.
00:44:53Where's Sean?
00:44:53I need to talk to him.
00:44:55Ah, he's driving to Stanford.
00:44:56He's having a crisis, in case you didn't know.
00:44:58I know all about it.
00:45:00Yeah, you're such a good father.
00:45:01I'm so good to your kids.
00:45:04I need a drink.
00:45:05Do you have any beer, Coyote Ugly?
00:45:10This is an excellent transcript.
00:45:12You should be very proud, but what can I tell you?
00:45:15If I'd had this by January 21st, you might have had a shot, but, uh...
00:45:19Don, I need you.
00:45:23Excuse me.
00:45:27All right, now, what is the big deal?
00:45:29He's going to say no.
00:45:32Hey, don't let him say no.
00:45:34It's going to be fine.
00:45:36Okay.
00:45:37Thanks.
00:45:40So, what's up with your brother and aspirin?
00:45:43Does he, like, get a lot of headaches, or what?
00:45:54What is that smell?
00:45:56What am I sitting in?
00:45:57Oh, relax.
00:45:58It's just urine.
00:45:59Oh.
00:46:02You know, your son was being a real brat today.
00:46:04Real pain in the ass.
00:46:06My son.
00:46:07He said I was selfish.
00:46:09He said that everything's always about me.
00:46:12He called me a drama queen.
00:46:14He said I was trying to sabotage him.
00:46:22So, how's Bob?
00:46:28How's what's her face?
00:46:30She's sleeping around.
00:46:32No.
00:46:34I can't talk to her.
00:46:36She doesn't play tennis.
00:46:39She's not a good mother.
00:46:41She's not like you.
00:46:49Want another beer?
00:47:06Look.
00:47:09Sometimes I leave the office at the end of the day, and I get into my car and head home.
00:47:13And 15 minutes later, I'm here, parked in front of this house.
00:47:17It's annoying.
00:47:19It's totally out of my way.
00:47:22I made a mistake, and I'm tired of paying for it.
00:47:25I want you back.
00:47:27You're such an asshole.
00:47:37Which ones were they?
00:47:40Um, Etcetrine?
00:47:42Etcetrine.
00:47:43Okay, Excedrin are pain pills.
00:47:47Pain pills?
00:47:48No! Oh, my God!
00:47:50What?
00:47:52We just gave the dean of admissions three hits of...
00:48:00Where were we?
00:48:05Um, well, Mr. Durkett, uh, to me, Stanford's not just a school.
00:48:12It's my entire reason for living.
00:48:15Every night before I went to bed, I'd pray that I'd get into Stanford.
00:48:19And I worked really hard.
00:48:22And when all my friends were out having fun, I stayed in and I studied.
00:48:27That's good.
00:48:28That's what you have to do.
00:48:3182%?
00:48:38Wait a second.
00:48:40I like you.
00:48:42What's your name?
00:48:44Sean.
00:48:46Sean.
00:48:46Sean.
00:48:47I like you.
00:48:49I do.
00:48:50I don't know why.
00:48:52I just like you.
00:48:55Thanks.
00:48:56I feel so good!
00:49:01Is it me or is it, like, hotter than hell in here?
00:49:05Hey, can you help me?
00:49:07Yeah.
00:49:07Yeah.
00:49:08Yeah.
00:49:09Yes.
00:49:09Yes, I can.
00:49:10No.
00:49:11I'm, uh, there's no time.
00:49:13I'm leaving.
00:49:13I'm going to Bali.
00:49:15I'm going to Bali with my family.
00:49:18I love them so much.
00:49:25I need water or I need to lie down.
00:49:30Hey, before you do that, uh, okay?
00:49:33Sean, you're my same height.
00:49:36That is neat.
00:49:38Yeah, it is.
00:49:39Hey, listen, let's go to your office and you can add my name to the acceptance list before
00:49:44you leave for Bali.
00:49:45Sounds good.
00:49:45Sounds good.
00:49:46Yeah.
00:49:48Oh, man, the lights are, like, vivid.
00:49:53Well, it's a beautiful night.
00:49:56You're so beautiful.
00:49:57Oh, thank you.
00:49:58You're welcome.
00:49:59You know, I really appreciate this.
00:50:02That's okay, Sean, because I feel like I've known you forever.
00:50:10Hey!
00:50:14I have a confession.
00:50:17I never went to college.
00:50:21It's overrated.
00:50:23My brother wants to go here next year.
00:50:27Well, I hope he's on this list.
00:50:31What's that?
00:50:32It's a list of people they've accepted.
00:50:35They rejected him, the jerks.
00:50:41Don't do that.
00:50:46When I was little, I was a total pyro.
00:50:50I was, too.
00:50:51Ooh!
00:50:59Put that out, man.
00:51:01Put it out.
00:51:03Whoa.
00:51:04Whoa.
00:51:13Who are you people?
00:51:14I'm Sean Brumner.
00:51:16You're going to help me get into Stanford, and we're at your office.
00:51:23Oh, my God!
00:51:25Oh, my God!
00:51:25Oh, my God!
00:51:27Oh, no!
00:51:45Oh, my God!
00:51:54Oh, my God!
00:51:55Oh, my God!
00:51:55Woo!
00:51:56Woo!
00:51:59Woo!
00:51:59The tower immediately!
00:52:05Ray, do me a favor.
00:52:06Back that engine out.
00:52:07We got it knocked out.
00:52:08Okay.
00:52:08It's negatory, Julio.
00:52:09I need to wedge that popper.
00:52:10Hey!
00:52:11Hey!
00:52:13What's your name?
00:52:14Uh, Joe.
00:52:14John.
00:52:16What is it?
00:52:16Joe John.
00:52:17Name's Joe John?
00:52:19Johnston.
00:52:20Johnston.
00:52:21Joe.
00:52:21You want to tell me what happened here?
00:52:23Uh, there's a fire.
00:52:24I don't know.
00:52:25I came by and I was...
00:52:29checking out the fire.
00:52:30Well, that lady, uh, Mona,
00:52:32she said that you two were in the building
00:52:34when the fire started.
00:52:35Yeah.
00:52:36She's a liar.
00:52:36Because I don't know her.
00:52:37So whatever, whatever she says is a lie, so...
00:52:40Okay, so you're saying you weren't in the building
00:52:41with that woman?
00:52:41No.
00:52:42Not I.
00:52:43All right.
00:52:44She started it, all right?
00:52:46Because she was like,
00:52:47I hate my job!
00:52:49I'm gonna burn this mother down!
00:52:50And I said, you better not!
00:52:52You better not!
00:52:55She said it was an electrical fire.
00:52:57It was.
00:52:57It was a total electrical fire.
00:52:58It was like, uh,
00:52:59the switches had sparks coming out
00:53:01and the sockets,
00:53:02and, uh,
00:53:02it was like the 4th of July, man.
00:53:05Why aren't you wearing your pants, Joe?
00:53:07I tripped,
00:53:08and, uh,
00:53:09then I had to take them off
00:53:10to run faster out of the flames.
00:53:15I think I nailed some smoke.
00:53:18Will you excuse me a while?
00:53:20One second.
00:53:20I'll be right back.
00:53:22We got a sprinter.
00:53:24Five foot five.
00:53:25No pants.
00:53:26Unkempt.
00:53:27Portly.
00:53:29You'll be fine.
00:53:30Wait.
00:53:31Wait a second.
00:53:32Mr. Durkett.
00:53:34This guy thinks he's the Dean of Admissions.
00:53:41Sean.
00:53:43Sean.
00:53:44Sean.
00:53:45So psychedelic.
00:53:47Buddy,
00:53:48I light one match,
00:53:49and the building blows up.
00:53:54Well, I was just trying to help you, bro.
00:53:57By setting the building on fire?
00:54:00I was high.
00:54:02You're always high.
00:54:04You're a dragged out loser.
00:54:06You think you're gonna create a t-shirt company?
00:54:09You can't even dress yourself.
00:54:18Harsh.
00:54:21Sean, I'm so sorry.
00:54:23I should have seen this coming.
00:54:26But one day, I need my family to come through for me.
00:54:29They end up doing what they always do.
00:54:32My father goes ballistic, my mother gets plastered,
00:54:35and my brother burns down a building.
00:54:38It's like they've all come together in some evil conspiracy
00:54:40to prevent me from getting anywhere.
00:54:43Is that what you think?
00:54:45What else am I supposed to think?
00:54:50You know, I really believed that you wanted to go to Stanford
00:54:53because you wanted to study with Marcus Skinner.
00:54:57That's not it, is it?
00:55:00What are you talking about?
00:55:01You want to run away.
00:55:04You want to be free of everybody.
00:55:08And you think by coming up here, you're gonna meet people that are smarter and saner and better.
00:55:19You know, if you went to Stanford, that'd be the end of us.
00:55:24And it doesn't seem to me like that thought's ever crossed your mind.
00:55:28Oh, Ashley, come on.
00:55:29Sean, I'm sorry you didn't get into Stanford.
00:55:33But if you think that going here is the only way you can be the person you want to be,
00:55:41then I just feel sorry for you.
00:56:09What's going on? What are you doing in that bathroom?
00:56:11I'm not gonna lie to you, Christop.
00:56:15Did you sleep with your ex-wife?
00:56:20Ugh.
00:56:22I want a divorce.
00:56:24Really?
00:56:25You can have the house.
00:56:27Really? What about Jake?
00:56:30I thought we could share custody.
00:56:34Okay. Great.
00:56:36Hey, but listen, can you take him tonight?
00:56:38Because there's this new club in Newport that's supposed to be totally bitchin'.
00:56:43Oh. Okay.
00:56:45Thanks, bud.
00:56:46So you have my pager number and my cell phone number.
00:56:49If you need me, just call me.
00:56:50And I think this is a great idea.
00:56:52Good.
00:56:54Later.
00:56:54Later.
00:56:55Woo!
00:56:58Yes!
00:57:00Huh.
00:57:17I'm taking a ride.
00:57:21All to one side.
00:57:24It is a personal thing.
00:57:28Where?
00:57:30When I can't stand.
00:57:33Up in this cage I'm not regretting.
00:57:40I don't need a better thing.
00:57:54What are you reading?
00:57:56Faulkner.
00:58:00Great writer.
00:58:02Yeah.
00:58:03Sure.
00:58:04You're an English major?
00:58:06No.
00:58:08I don't even go here.
00:58:11So you're just visiting.
00:58:14Mm.
00:58:18I should probably go.
00:58:21Okay.
00:58:22It's nice meeting you.
00:58:27Hey.
00:58:29I'm going to a party.
00:58:32I'll maybe come check it out.
00:58:35So, uh, so do you like Faulkner?
00:58:38He's okay.
00:58:39I mean, he's kind of boring.
00:58:41I think I might just get the cliff notes.
00:58:44Hey, Gretchen.
00:58:45Hey!
00:58:46There's some serious cuties at this party.
00:58:49And lock me up because I am horny.
00:58:52Guys, this is Sean.
00:58:54Hi.
00:58:55Hi.
00:58:56Oh, my God!
00:58:58This is our song!
00:58:59Oh, my God!
00:59:00This is our song!
00:59:01This is our song!
00:59:01Oh, my God!
00:59:03Oh, my God!
00:59:04Woo!
00:59:04Come, my lady.
00:59:05Come, come, my lady.
00:59:06You're my butterfly.
00:59:07Sugar.
00:59:08Baby.
00:59:08Come, my lady.
00:59:10Come, come, my lady.
00:59:17Oh, Scrabble.
00:59:18Oh, I love Scrabble.
00:59:20Last time I played, actually,
00:59:21I threw down the word Mazer.
00:59:23Yeah, it's a type of small cherry tree.
00:59:25I even got 50 bonus points.
00:59:29So, you don't look familiar.
00:59:31Are you a freshman?
00:59:32No, not even.
00:59:34I'm still in high school.
00:59:35Oh, did you apply to Stanford?
00:59:36No, no.
00:59:38I'm going to Orange County University.
00:59:40That's where I'm from, Orange County.
00:59:41Really?
00:59:42I've heard of Orange County.
00:59:44Yeah, I love it there.
00:59:46The weather's great.
00:59:47People are nice.
00:59:48I really want to be a marine biologist, so it's really the perfect place for me to study.
00:59:53Okay.
00:59:53Um, so what about you?
00:59:55I'm a comparative literature major.
00:59:58Yeah, I want to be a writer.
00:59:59Fiction, poetry, screenplays, whatever, you know.
01:00:02I actually have an idea for a TV show.
01:00:04It's about vampires, ostensibly, you know.
01:00:07But underneath, it's actually about the reunification of Germany.
01:00:12But it's funny, I mean.
01:00:14Yeah, my boyfriend wants to be a writer, too.
01:00:17Your boyfriend?
01:00:19Yeah, Sean.
01:00:20He's really talented.
01:00:23He wrote this great story about growing up in Orange County.
01:00:29And it's just really funny and smart.
01:00:33But, I mean, it doesn't really matter what I think, so.
01:00:35Why not?
01:00:47Sean?
01:00:49Hey.
01:00:50What's up?
01:00:52Is this your boyfriend?
01:00:56What are you, like, spying on me?
01:00:59No.
01:01:01I was, uh, I was just up on the balcony, and, uh...
01:01:06Yeah, I was spying on you.
01:01:08Ow!
01:01:09Who's this?
01:01:10I'm Kip.
01:01:13Yeah, Kip.
01:01:14Let's go inside where we can be alone.
01:01:17Oh, come on, Ash!
01:01:20Ashley!
01:01:26How?
01:01:28How?
01:01:32How?
01:01:36How?
01:01:38How?
01:01:38How?
01:01:41How?
01:01:43How?
01:01:57Mr. Skinner?
01:02:09Hi, I'm Marcus Skinner, you're, you're a good writer, thank you.
01:02:36I'm obsessed with you, Mr. Skinner, um, not in a sexual way or a romantic way or, or anything
01:02:43like that, just, uh, you're writing.
01:02:49I'm Sean Brumder, I wrote you a letter a couple of months ago and I, I sent you one of
01:02:54my stories.
01:02:55Orange County.
01:02:59Yeah, yeah, wait, uh, did you read it?
01:03:05Oh, yes, yeah, it was a great story.
01:03:11I can't, uh, I'm sorry, uh, it's, it's been a long day.
01:03:20Could you just say that, what you just said, just one more time?
01:03:26It was a great story.
01:03:27I really enjoyed it.
01:03:35Mr. Skinner, uh, dude, uh, you have no idea what that means to me.
01:03:50Characters are unique, well drawn, the mother, drunk, arguing with all the maids, the brother
01:04:00always passing out everywhere, and I love the girlfriend, the bleeding heart animal freak,
01:04:04she was my favorite.
01:04:06Yeah, you really love your characters, and it comes through in the writing.
01:04:11Thank you, I, I never really thought about it that way.
01:04:16Yeah, my only criticism...
01:04:17Yes, oh, please, it's, it's what I need.
01:04:23You need an ending.
01:04:25I know, I know, I, I just, I don't know how to end it.
01:04:29You should figure that out.
01:04:32Maybe I can help you.
01:04:35Well, uh, I didn't get into Stanford.
01:04:40Yeah, so, uh, so that means I can't work with you.
01:04:52I want to be a good writer, Mr. Skinner, but I'm just afraid that if I don't get out of
01:04:59Orange County,
01:05:02it's never gonna happen.
01:05:04You don't have to be afraid of that, Sean.
01:05:06You are a good writer.
01:05:08And every good writer has a conflicted relationship with the place where he grew up.
01:05:14Joyce, Faulkner, Tolstoy.
01:05:17And that's what I remember loving about your story.
01:05:19It's very conflicted.
01:05:22Because, at the beginning, you think these people are doomed.
01:05:25I mean, this family is heading for disaster.
01:05:28And then, as you read on, you see that there exists beneath the surface these very real connections,
01:05:34these deep relationships.
01:05:40What I took from your story is this.
01:05:44That even in a world where people can be superficial and stupid and selfish, there's still hope.
01:05:54Was that the message you were trying for?
01:06:12There is a place that has a face, and he was walking out the door.
01:06:23Three times done, and you're gone, and you're gone.
01:06:27You are free, you are free.
01:06:30It's a long way home.
01:06:33What have we done?
01:06:35Was it wrong?
01:06:37Was it wrong?
01:06:38Was it me?
01:06:39Can't you see?
01:06:40It's a long way home.
01:06:45Sean!
01:06:46Sean!
01:06:47Sean!
01:06:48Sean!
01:06:49Sean!
01:06:49Sean!
01:06:50Over here!
01:06:52Sorry!
01:06:54Ow!
01:06:55God!
01:06:56Sorry!
01:06:56Damn!
01:06:58God, Lance!
01:07:00Ow!
01:07:01It's just in there.
01:07:03Dude!
01:07:04You will never believe who I just met!
01:07:06Who?
01:07:06Marcus Skinner!
01:07:07I met Marcus Skinner!
01:07:10What?
01:07:10Who?
01:07:11The writer!
01:07:12Okay!
01:07:12He liked my story!
01:07:13He liked my story!
01:07:15Shut up!
01:07:16That's awesome, but I am going to prison!
01:07:18What?
01:07:19Yeah, some cops are right on my ass.
01:07:21Now, listen, I've been thinking about it.
01:07:22We are going to Mexico, buddy, right now!
01:07:24Oh, Lance.
01:07:25Please.
01:07:31Oh, God.
01:07:33Okay.
01:07:33All right, fine.
01:07:34We're leaving.
01:07:35We're leaving.
01:07:36But we gotta get Ashley first.
01:07:37No, I'm sorry.
01:07:38No, that's not in the cars, Broseph.
01:07:40Listen, she'll be fine.
01:07:42Just forget about her.
01:07:42Some dude will pick her up and give her a nice bed to sleep in.
01:07:45Lance.
01:07:46Okay!
01:07:46We will go and get her, but you gotta follow me,
01:07:48because I am an expert at escaping.
01:07:51Let's go fast escape!
01:07:52Fast escapes are my expertise.
01:07:54Come on.
01:07:56Be careful.
01:07:59Follow me.
01:08:06Lance.
01:08:07Are you okay?
01:08:10Go get the Bronco, Sean.
01:08:12And come back for me.
01:08:14Okay.
01:08:15Dude!
01:08:17Promise me, dude.
01:08:19Yeah, I promise.
01:08:27The whole time I'm thinking it's the alternator.
01:08:30My bro says to me, no, bro.
01:08:32It's the carburetor.
01:08:33And it turned out he was right.
01:08:42Ashley!
01:08:44Would you get in the car?
01:08:46I'm mad at you, remember?
01:08:47I know, but can we talk about it in the car?
01:08:50Please!
01:08:51Hey, you hurt her.
01:08:52Okay?
01:08:53Why don't you leave her alone?
01:08:54Hey, butt out, dude.
01:08:55Ashley, get in the car right now.
01:08:56Get in the car!
01:08:57No!
01:09:01Sean, apologize to her.
01:09:03Tell her you're sorry.
01:09:04I'm sorry!
01:09:06Dude, come on.
01:09:08Say it like you mean it.
01:09:12Ashley!
01:09:14I'm so sorry!
01:09:18Now tell her you love her.
01:09:22Tell her you love her.
01:09:25I love you!
01:09:26I love you!
01:09:27I love you so much!
01:09:31Good!
01:09:32You love him, he loves you.
01:09:35Damn Bronco!
01:09:36Ashley, now!
01:09:38Now!
01:09:39Now!
01:09:40Kip, it was really nice to meet you.
01:09:43Get in the car!
01:09:49Baby, what can I do?
01:09:54I've been not searching for you.
01:09:58Sean.
01:09:59Yeah?
01:10:01What?
01:10:03Lance isn't gonna be able to hear anything.
01:10:06He's passed out.
01:10:08He's not gonna wake up, I promise.
01:10:11Okay, you don't believe me?
01:10:12Lance!
01:10:14LANCE!
01:10:18See?
01:10:19Nothing.
01:10:19He's out cold, like a light.
01:10:21Come on.
01:10:23He'll help you find it, I promise.
01:10:25Okay?
01:10:50Clearly, you're not an expert on negotiations,
01:10:52so let me just walk you through this.
01:10:54You come in with a proposal that's over the top.
01:10:56You want a new gymnasium, $40 million.
01:10:58Then I counter with a low-ball offer, like, uh, $2,000 for a medicine ball.
01:11:04That is absurd and offensive.
01:11:05What?
01:11:06It's offensive, sir.
01:11:07Stanford University doesn't...
01:11:08No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:11:09You already have a medicine ball.
01:11:10No, you're not hearing me.
01:11:12No, sir, I believe it's you who's not hearing me.
01:11:18Hey, hey, hey.
01:11:20Drink your milk.
01:11:21I don't want milk.
01:11:22I want my pooty.
01:11:23Well, your pooty's been retired.
01:11:26You're a little big for...
01:11:27Where are you going?
01:11:29What?
01:11:30You don't want the milk, fine.
01:11:32You want some juice?
01:11:33Yes, okay.
01:11:34Why don't you go to the fridge, open it up and get yourself some.
01:11:37And get some for me while you're at it.
01:11:40Oh, you're helpful.
01:11:41Finally.
01:11:42There's some help around here.
01:11:56Hey, guys, what's up?
01:11:57Hey, what's up, dude?
01:11:59Hey, dude, check this out.
01:12:01Last night, we're at this party, and little Arlo here, he decides to, like, profess his undying
01:12:07love for me.
01:12:07Did I tell you it was a fruitcake or what?
01:12:09Bro.
01:12:10Bro, that's not true.
01:12:11This is the real story, dude.
01:12:13Chad crashed at my house, right?
01:12:15And I woke up in the night.
01:12:17He was fondling my...
01:12:18Dude, I lost my keys.
01:12:21I was looking for him.
01:12:23You guys want to come in?
01:12:25All right.
01:12:30Jake.
01:12:32Yo.
01:12:33What are you doing here?
01:12:34Hello, everybody.
01:12:36Hey, Bob.
01:12:37How was your trip?
01:12:39It was okay.
01:12:44Just come back with an offer.
01:12:46Yeah, well, we don't have to dot the I's and cross the T's.
01:12:48You have your people.
01:12:49I have my people.
01:12:50I'll call you back.
01:12:51My kids just walked in the door.
01:12:54Hi, guys.
01:12:55Dad.
01:12:59Mom, what is going on?
01:13:04Uh, Sean?
01:13:06Uh, Sean?
01:13:06Lance?
01:13:07Um, something happened last night.
01:13:10Your mother and I, we, uh, well...
01:13:16You banged Mom?
01:13:20That's not the word I would use, but, uh...
01:13:22Yes, we came together.
01:13:25Uh...
01:13:27Are you serious?
01:13:28Guess what else we did?
01:13:30I've been on the phone all morning with Stanford.
01:13:32Your mother and I donated the money for a new admissions building.
01:13:35I guess the old one burned down.
01:13:39We got you into Stanford, Sean.
01:13:48You did that for me?
01:13:50Yeah.
01:13:51Really?
01:13:54Yeah, bro.
01:13:55Way to go, man.
01:13:56You're stoked, dude.
01:13:58Yeah!
01:13:59Stanford!
01:14:05Congratulations, Sean.
01:14:06That's...
01:14:07That is awesome.
01:14:09I was sitting in a coffee movie with my hands on my chin.
01:14:19All the violence that occurred seemed like we'd never win.
01:14:29Love and mercy, that's what you need tonight.
01:14:38So, love and mercy to you and your friends tonight.
01:14:48I was lying in my room and the news came on TV.
01:14:55Uh...
01:14:56Hey.
01:15:01Uh...
01:15:04I was just up in my room, uh, thinking about Faulkner.
01:15:08And, uh, wondering if he had left the South, would he have ever written a light in August?
01:15:15Or what if, uh, what if James Joyce had left Ireland?
01:15:18Well, I mean, he did leave Ireland, but not in his heart.
01:15:23And do you see what I'm getting at here?
01:15:28I don't need to go to Stanford to be a writer.
01:15:32All I need are the people who inspire me.
01:15:36Like my friends.
01:15:39And my family.
01:15:45And you.
01:15:48So I'm gonna stay.
01:15:51I'm gonna stay in Orange County.
01:15:53You are!
01:15:54See.
01:15:57Ooh.
01:16:01You're!
01:16:02Yeah!
01:16:05You, I made my life too.
01:16:06You came in, дорогh.
01:16:08Yeah!!!!
01:16:09Whoo!
01:16:12Yeah.
01:16:13Run!
01:16:14Run!
01:16:14Okay.
01:16:21Dear Mr. Skinner, I'm writing you to say thank you for all your words of wisdom.
01:16:27It took me a while, but I finally realized Orange County is the perfect environment for an aspiring writer.
01:16:34Today I went down to the beach with a copy of your book.
01:16:37I left it there by the water.
01:16:41Maybe another mixed-up kid will stumble upon it.
01:16:43And maybe it'll change his life like it changed mine.
01:16:47Later, Mr. Skinner.
01:16:49Yours truly, Sean Brumder.
01:16:57Dude, don't touch. I'm lighting the fire, okay?
01:17:00It was my idea, and you're an idiot.
01:17:02You're gonna blow up your hand. Just give me the lighter.
01:17:04No, dude. Lonnie would have wanted me to blow up his...
01:17:07Bro, Lonnie thought you were a tool, okay?
01:17:09No, Lonnie thought you were a fool, dude.
01:17:10Hey, guys. What are you doing?
01:17:12They're gonna blow up on his board, man.
01:17:15It's gonna be explosive.
01:17:16Dude, you got so many M80s.
01:17:18It's gonna be like the 4th of July.
01:17:22Dude, what are you doing?
01:17:23I'm going surfing!
01:17:26All right!
01:17:28Yeah!
01:17:29Come on, let's go!
01:17:31Woo-hoo!
01:17:32Why don't you come down and step into a world where you know you're the everything,
01:17:40everything I need.
01:17:45Woo-hoo!
01:17:46I'm suddenly hopeful whenever you're in sight.
01:17:52That's right.
01:17:54I talk about you all day, whisper your name at night.
01:18:00That's right.
01:18:03Whatever you need.
01:18:05What I would give if you should ask it of me, to make you feel complete.
01:18:13Hello, hello, won't you come right in?
01:18:17I'd give anything just to see you again.
01:18:21Hello, hello, won't you come right in?
01:18:25Step into my world where you know you're everything, everything, yeah.
01:18:37You know I feel so peculiar, you know I feel so peculiar, you know I feel so strange.
01:19:11We've been on the run, driving in the sun, picking up a number one, California here we come.
