(soft peaceful music)

- [Boy] I'm Aaron Milton.

I come from a long line of engineers,

generation after generation of nerds.

Don't get me wrong, I'm
not bitter about it.

We happen to be good at
figuring out how things work.

It's just I have a few other interests

and lately that's been a bit of a problem.

It's all pretty basic.

Quantitative Chemistry
Lab, Applied Physics,

Engineering 203, Calculus
for Engineering II,

placed out of the first semester.

- [Man] That's my boy.

And your elective is, which
one did I decide on finally?

What about a painting class?

He's going to an ivy league
school, not summer camp.

Oh, here it is, Advanced
Design and Systems Integration.

(mumbles)

Oh, for god's sake, Phil.

We're not gonna make it.

I can calculate a Jupiter landing,

I can get us up College Hill.

You've known for months about this trip.

It's a simple force of equation.

Aaron, if you ever wondered,

this is why I divorced your father.

(light knocking)

Ah, lookie here.

(soft fun music)

What is this, Woodstock?

(people laughing)

- [Dad] God, they're so young.

Seven out of 10 have had intercourse.

Four out of 10 are doing drugs.

One out of 10 is gay.

What does that leave?

Me.

(exciting rhythmic music)

This is what you get for $35,000?

A holding cell?

It's not so bad.

Oh, take the one furthest
from the door, it's safer.

I got you something for your room.

Tada, my little scout.

Look at that, you framed it.

Didn't they do a good job?

I got you something else.

Some of these kids are here
because they come from money,

you made it on merit.

But I just don't think that
I need it hanging on my wall.

What, lawyers do it, dentists,

even my gynecologist does it.

Okay, then I'll get a receptionist and

I'll start taking appointments.

(light laughing)

Perkins 101.

- [Aaron] Yeah, hi.

What's going on?

I'm Aaron, these are my folks.

I'm William, you can call me
Will or Bill, it's whatever.

Fiona here calls me Wild Bill.

(people laughing)

I just met her parents.

I was like, I'll take it from here, mom.

(soft lighthearted music)

Uh, everything we worked
for all these years.

We.

I still think I should've
kept you back another year,

17 is so young.

(lighthearted rhythmic music)

I really made a mess of things.

- [Mom] What are you two talking about?

Don't make the same mistake.

What mistake, what are you talking about?

Dad!

Chicks or dicks?

What?

Are you into chicks or are you into dicks?

Chicks.

All right, man, take it easy,
I was just fucking with you.

You know the doorknob rule?

No.

Let's say you have somebody
in the room, right,

and you don't wanna be disturbed,

the doorknob is the deal.

Just hang the necktie on
there and the other person

knows occupido, come back later.

Why don't we just put like a note on

the door or something?

What, like busy fucking?

No, I mean, it could be code.

It could be code, it
could be like zebra or

tango niner or something.

Fuck, am I gonna have
to break in a virgin?

What, no, no, I am not a virgin.

I'm gonna get that new car smell off you

so you don't scare off all the tail.

No, I am not a virgin.

Okay, okay, don't get freaky on me.

Just remember the doorknob thing, okay?

My brother's a junior at
Columbia, this is what works.

Fine.

How about this?

Very perverse, scout master.

I like it.

(exciting rhythmic music)

- [Dad] Please find in close
a rendering of the female

genitalia, I alert you
to the area in red known

as the clitoris.

While its location is
somewhat counterintuitive,

it is the key to female pleasure.

Had I known sooner, it
might have saved my marriage

to your mother.

Mmm mmm.

(soft relaxing music)

♪ And I'll walk away from here ♪

Do you see the (mumbles) on that thing?

Oh, hey, Perkins.

Aaron.

Perkins, the dorm, you live there.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I do.

How do you know that?

I live on your floor.

I saw you on the way to
the shower this morning.

Okay.

I'm Darcy.

Aaron, hi.

I all ready said that.

Well, here it is.

There you go.

I'll see you around.

All right.

By the way, nice robe.

Congratulations to you all,

you've made it to my
Advanced Design seminar.

Only the best of the
best get in this program.

Go ahead, do yourself a favor,
take a good look around you.

Everybody in here pretty
much thinks he or she

can walk on water, right?

Well, guess what, by
the end of this course,

you're gonna have the
opportunity to prove that.

Each of you will create an
apparatus that will enable you

to walk on the water at the Swim Center.

You'll design it, build
it, and compete with it.

And by the end of the semester,

you'll have done at 20
what Jesus didn't manage

until he was 30.

(people laughing)

Now, what you might wanna do is look up

our old friend, Archimedes.

His principle states what?

If any object partially...

(light elating music)

Why can't I switch my elective?

Aaron, do you know how
many juniors and seniors

would kill to have a spot in my class?

You're my only freshman.

You could be doing this.

I mean, plus, our
drawing class is a waste.

You're obviously all ready good at that.

But how do you know that?

I know your record, I'm the reason you

got your scholarship.

Even though some of my
colleagues balked at

taking someone so young.

And by the way, your
mother mentioned you had

some social concerns.

If you ever wanna talk--

Oh my god, my mother spoke to you.

Anything.

I'm good, that's fine, really, but just--

I was in college.

I don't know, just
about the drawing class,

I really don't see how
it can hurt, you know.

Aaron, do you know why I picked you?

I love to know how things work, all of it,

and I saw that in your essay.

Now, believe me, you're
gonna love this program.

(intense exciting music)

(loud rumbling)

- [Man] Hey.

Sorry.

You're late.

I'm lost, I actually thought this

was an engineering class.

You always bring a sketch pad
to your engineering classes?

Well, you seem to have some talent.

I am looking for simple, clean lines.

Draw what you see.

Oh my god.

(people laughing)

Sorry.

Sit.

Yes.

Well, look at the bright
side, you'll probably never

be more embarrassed in your whole life.

You'd be surprised.

♪ I am all in a ball in your front yard ♪

♪ I have this bag of hammers ♪

Clever, Mr. Milton, but
not what I asked for.

Clean, simple.

Oh my god, that is so great.

Hey, DaVinci!

Where you off to in such a hurry?

I have chemistry.

Yeah, well I have psych, so
what do you say we cut them

and go get caffeinated?

Can't cut classes the first week.

Really?

Wow, this is really good shit.

Right, so, can I ask you how you, uh,

how you became a freshman?

Well, I mean, you are a freshman, right?

Yeah, I enrolled like everyone else.

What, you think I got
some pull or something?

No, it's just that you're--

What, beautiful and talented?

You just, you know--

Why don't you just ask me
what you wanted to know, okay?

No pausing, no editing, no stammering, go.

Uh, why are you doing this to me?

Ask your question, very direct.

Well, Aaron, you're a
really talented guy and

I just think that talented people should

be more forthright.

So, screw polite, here's
how we ask our question.

Hey Linda, you got at least
10 years on the average

freshman, what's an old
chick like you doing

in a place like this.

See, that's not what I was going to say.

No, but that's what you were thinking.

No, I didn't think it like that, I just--

Aaron, how are you trying to protect?

I don't know.

Look, say I have three tits,

you think I don't know that fact unless

someone points it out?

When you're polite, you're
polite for you, not me,

the three titted chick.

(laughing)

(tense rhythmic music)

- [Professor] Archimedes
was in the bathtub

when he had his eureka moment.

Think volume, think buoyancy.

Now, you'll have all semester
to build your water walker,

but it will be 95% of your grade.

This is Perkins tradition.

(mumbles)

Look, can you guys, can
you do this somewhere else?

You're up, pork state.

Two more and we'll be
able to officially verify.

Perkins biggest dick.

That is not the biggest dick,

that is just the longest dick.

Shut up!

Dude, he's right.

No, that's true, we need
a measurement around.

No, guys, look, okay,
that's not gonna work

because then you'll have
circumference in one place.

Okay, Mr. Engineer,
then how do you suggest

we measure our penises?

The best way to measure volume
is through displacement.

Displacement.

Yes, like a beer mug filled
to the brim with water.

Right, you slide the object into the mug

and then you measure
the amount that remains.

That's how you know
how much was displaced.

Okay, a couple things, number one,

how do you get like an
angle on a beer mug?

You know what I'm saying?

And number two, we have
a verification issue

because I can just pour a bunch out and

be like, aw, my dick's enormous.

- [Man] And somebody's gotta verify.

You know what, fuck the volume concept.

You're up, slide rule.

No, no, I'm studying.

Uh, you want us to get out
of here so you can study?

Measure your penis.

No, no, I am not measuring my dick.

(soft peaceful music)

You're a really talented guy.

Yes, I am.

Nice robe.

Three tits.

Perkins.

(tense fast music)

(soft beeping)

What?

(woman moaning)
(fast rhythmic music)

You've been had, my friend.

(people laughing)

Six and a quarter inches,

that's slightly above average, I think.

(mumbles)

(soft lighthearted music)

What are you doing for
dinner tomorrow night?

I don't know, the Dining Hall, I guess.

How'd you like to come
over for some real food?

I'll make my lasagna.

It's better than sex.

Wow, you blushing?

No.

No.

I said it's better than
sex, not a prelude to sex.

(woman laughing)

Wow, you are turning beet red.

Stop, just...

I'm gonna be fine.

- [Man] Come on, it's
a luau in the shower!

Five dollars.

So, it's Darcy, right?

Yeah, Aaron.

I like your shirt.

(man laughing)

You have (mumbles) and
attract the force at

the same time with your tongue.

English, Aaron.

That is impossible.

Your turn.

(mumbles)

I can make my roommate appear.

Greetings (mumbles).

Who's your little hot house flower?

Is that supposed to be funny?

This is Darcy, Darcy, this
is my roommate, William.

Yeah, Bill, pleasure.

Whatever.

Don't be so uptight, sweetheart,

you don't get (mumbles).

See ya, Aaron.

What is wrong with you?

Darcy!

Look, I'm sorry, he's an idiot.

I'm sorry about that, I know I might seem

like kind of a misogynist idiot
but if you get to know me,

I'm actually a pretty all right guy.

(people cheering)

(people laughing)

We'll cherish these memories
for the rest of our lives.

That guy's a fucking
neanderthal, he's your friend?

No, he's my roommate,
Darcy, big difference.

How can you bare him?

I don't know.

Look, I'm sorry, it
just got really worried

(mumbles) girls.

Women, Aaron.

Sorry, women, I think of my
mother's friends as women,

there's gotta be some
kind of in between term.

He's wrong, you know.

You have everything going for you.

Thanks.

Because you still gotta be like...

Well, it turns out that
I am above average.

Who's the mystery woman?

Dude, she's hot and old.

And hot.

Jane, you never did
tell me about that whole

old chick thing.

Oh, that.

Yeah, I'm resumed ed.

I know, it sounds a
lot like presumed dead,

which is not far from the truth.

No, resumed education, it's
when people go back to school

after some time away.

So, where'd you go then?

Where'd you go when you went away?

I don't know, I was in
the world, pal, living.

It wasn't a foregone
conclusion that I'd graduate

high school and go ivy
league like I'm sure

it was for some people.

Believe me, I didn't exactly grow up

in Stately Wayne Manor either.

So, why don't you grab
a beer or something?

I'm gonna take a quick shower.

♪ No, I can't know myself ♪

Who the fuck are you?

What?

Who the fuck are you?

Um, I'm Aaron.

Aaron, huh?

Aaron here for the big
fucking romantic dinner.

It's just lasagna, actually.

Did you say lasagna?

That's a big door buster.

When Linda makes lasagna,
she's getting laid.

Why are we having these conversations?

Because your big ass
is stuck in the middle

of my god damn kitchen, that's why.

What, are you too good to
make conversation with me?

No, I just don't think that
it has to be so belligerent.

Belligerent, where did you get
that word, Mr. College Boy,

out of a thesaurus?

You know, Linda may go for
that real vocabulary bullshit

but I think it's a major turn off.

What are you, what are
you, like her daughter?

I'm Beth, her roommate.

(cat meowing)

Cut it out, you horny bitch.

Okay, if there's a problem, I can just go.

Fine, then fuck off.

Fine, same to you.

That was lame, same to you.

You know what, you talk too much.

I don't even know you
and all ready I think

that you talk way too god damn much.

Fuck you, Aaron.

Fuck you with a big stick.

Well, fuck you, Beth,
fuck you with the whole

god damn tree.

I see you've met.

(simple playful music)

You never told me you had a daughter?

Oh, I didn't, I thought I had.

Nope.

No, you didn't.

Yeah, she just started ninth grade.

And that's Cleopatra.

They've met.

Thank you for the wine, Aaron.

They ran out of all the
ones with the twist offs?

Beth.

He doesn't give a shit.

Language, Beth.

All right, all right, he doesn't care.

All right, just a taste.

Thank you.

You're not gonna have any?

Linda doesn't partake.

She didn't tell you about that?

That's enough, Beth.

I'm sorry, sorry, I...

I didn't think, I didn't know, I'm sorry.

Aaron, you're doing that polite thing.

I love wine at my table
just not in my glass.

I don't know, sometimes
I feel like I don't

really belong there.

No, come on, you're
perfect, you're standout.

Why, because she's old?

Oh, thank you, Beth.

No, I mean, look at her, okay,

Linda makes these other college girls look

like they're in a bad school play.

She's got this confidence,
she's got this vitality.

Do you always talk like an old man?

Confidence, vitality, what
do you mean, she's hot?

Forgive her, she's inherited my mouth.

And your (mumbles).

What the hell does that mean?

He's saying that you're hot.

Are you actually blushing?

No.

He does that.

Stop it.

Come on, dance with me.

Nope, nope.

I don't dance.

I thought you'd never ask.

Come on.

You have to.

I should've brought sangria.

Aye, aye, aye.

Oh my god.

Oh, yeah.

Don't tell me you're missing this?

Cut the crap, I know you're awake.

- [Linda] Oh yeah, just like that.

Can you believe these two?

They do this often?

Oh yeah, we get complaints
from the neighbors.

I should probably go.

Oh, you're no fun.

Cut it out.

- [Linda] Who was that?

Sleep tight, asshole.

No, no, no, don't do that, don't do that.

We'll go to jail, don't do that.

Do you have any idea
how fast you were going?

Um, obviously not fast enough, gorgeous.

Sir, she didn't--

I oughta haul your ass into jail.

Or if you'd rather, you
can just take it out

on me back at my apartment.

So, that's the guy, huh?

Geez, I don't know,
looks like a kid to me.

God, you've got no manners.

Aaron, right?

I'm Wes.

Hi.

Oh, I've got some great
clams for the sauce,

got them in the car.

What the hell was that, what was that?

Shalom.

Okay, try it.

Oh my god, amazing.

(giggling)

So, you're, you're with the police?

Was it the squad car of the
uniform that gave it away?

Ah, earth to Wes, he's
making conversation.

Fine, I'm making it back.

So, tell me, what the kids
make at her at school?

What, you think she was
a teacher or something?

No, you know, I thought much
ever one way or the other,

I mean, our classes are pretty diverse.

Really, so, you have anybody down there

that looks like me?

Hell no, they don't take
palookas or jar heads.

Oh, careful, honey, you
might hurt my feelings.

Oh, as if he has any.

Whatever you do, don't let her treat you

like one of her girlfriends, all right.

Aaron, listen to me, don't let
her get away with that shit.

The minute she starts talking
about guys who she'd do,

she wouldn't, just put
your foot down, buddy.

You're not her girlfriend.

Reach for the sky, motherfucker!

Beth!

Do it or I'll take your head off!

You know, she won't stop with this shit.

I've had it up to fucking here!

Hey, watch your language!

Your daughter's got a gun to my head

and I gotta watch my language, great.

Why don't you give me the gun?

What are you gonna do with it?

I'm gonna rob a bank.

I don't know, just...

That I'd like to see.

You know what.

Give me that, thank you.

By the way, Wes, this
time I put bullets in it.

Really?

Don't you dare!

(light clicking)

Wes, god damn it!

What!

What are you--

She keeps this shit up,
she's gonna end up in jail.

Huh, is that what you want?

Beth, take Aaron, go get some eclairs.

And some cigarettes.

How old are you again?

Like 13, 14?

Older than you by a long shot.

Right, how do you figure that?

I've been living in dog years.

Woof.

Hey, Ray Ray, what's up?

Hey, Beth, not much.

Oh, this is my cousin, Wen,

the one I told you about
with the drug problem.

My uncle makes him wear this preppy shit,

figures it will straighten him out.

That sucks.

Fight the good fight, man.

Yeah, you know, take it one day at a time.

Hey, Ray Ray, can I get
a pack of Cloves and

some eclairs, like five or six pieces.

Sure.

(soft rap music)

So, when we gonna get together?

Party sometime, you know?

You know you're too old for me.

So, what, your cousin Wen?

Just trying to keep it light.

Hey, I got you some presents.

You stole from him?

You're cherry, aren't you?

What?

Cherry (mumbles).

No, I'm not Cherry.

Don't be embarrassed, I think it's cute.

You're not like the rest of the wolves.

You don't have to set limits in my house.

- [Wes] No, I don't have to set limits.

- [Linda] NO, you don't.

- [Wes] I'm trying to tell you.

- [Linda] I don't wanna lose her.

This could go on for a while.

Looks like you're stuck with me.

I don't mind.

You...

You live here?

Yeah, wouldn't you?

Snagged it the minute we moved here.

Hey.

I'm gonna go to bed.

Oh, come sit down, talk to me.

I won't bite.

So, I was just thinking about Wes.

Oh, don't let him bother you.

He doesn't believe men
and women can be friends.

Hell, there can even be an attraction,

it's not that big of a deal but
Wes doesn't understand that.

Right, uh, is there?

Like, an attraction?

You and me?

Well, you're attractive in a
way that Wes could never be.

You're sexy between the ears.

Is that a compliment or like...

That is like the worst thing
you could ever say to me.

It is definitely a compliment.

So, what about me, you find me attractive?

Uh, yeah, I thought that
was kind of obvious.

Well, I don't know, I mean,
I think I'm doing all right

but to a 17 year old, I might
look like Queen Elizabeth.

No, I don't think that's
a problem, trust me.

NO, I do, I trust you, Aaron.

I don't make it a habit of inviting

young men into my bedroom.

This isn't the scholarship program.

Wait, because that's not what
they told me at admissions.

Oh.

(laughing)

(tense soft music)

You should stop, Aaron,
before this gets serious.

We should stop.

We should stop.

Aaron, what am I doing?

I'm so bad, I don't wanna ruin this,

so go, okay, that's an order.

Okay.

Goodnight.

(light beeping)

- [Mother] Aaron, are
you getting my messages?

I haven't heard from you.

I spoke with your advisor,
Professor Danocky,

he said you've been missing some classes.

Okay, this isn't like
you, I'm getting worried.

I need to hear from you immediately.

Is someone there?

Hello?

Aaron.

You can do this, Aaron.

Yes, I know, I just, I have to think.

There's no discussion.

You can either put it on
the board or you can't.

That's the beauty of what we do.

Then I'm sorry because
I can't do it like this,

I have to visualize it first.

I'm afraid you can't leave
until it's up on the board.

- [Professor] The equation doesn't work,

your water walker will not work.

We design it in the classroom and

we execute it in the laboratory.

It's very simple and
you're running out of time.

(exciting fast music)

Hey, Perkins.

Hey, Perkins.

Wake up.

Ah!

Library's closing.

Wanna have a coffee?

Cheers.

Cheers.

So listen, it's none of
my business and, you know,

feel free to tell me as
much but I hear you're

involved with a married woman.

Really?

You heard that?

Actually married woman with kids.

I've heard one of them was yours but

I pretty much ignored that.

Wow, I didn't even think that
many people knew who I was.

Yeah, it's all over Perkins.

Apparently, (mumbles) prominently and

smother rumors about you.

Um, well, I'm flattered.

Obviously you're reluctant to tell me,

which is understandable seeing as--

No, no, it's not, it's not true.

What's not true?

The whole married woman
thing, it's not true.

She has one kid, it's not mine,

I took a paternity test.

That's a relief.

So, you sleep there?

Yeah, it's easier,

she just gives me a ride
back in the morning.

Yeah, yeah, that makes sense.

But where do you sleep?

(deep rhythmic music)

(light knocking)

Aaron!

Hey, who you got in there, the MILF queen?

Fuck you!

Respect the scarf.

- [William] Could you
hurry up, I need the room!

I don't believe in hair
removal, I think it's insidious.

That's okay.

I wasn't looking for your approval.

I'm sorry, did I do something wrong?

(relaxing rhythmic music)

Aaron, have you ever been
with a natural woman before?

I'm not really sure I
know what that means.

I don't expect you to pluck your body

and I would hope that
you're enlightened enough

not to expect that of me.

I haven't thought about it.

You can't handle it, can you?

What are you talking about, I just...

What?

I just, I don't know, I
think maybe we're just,

I think maybe we're talking too much.

Know what, Aaron, this
barbie doll walks, talks,

farts, and has hair under her arms,

and if you don't like it,

maybe you should've gone
for the other model!

(intriguing rhythmic music)

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Darcy.

Please, please, please.

You gotta wait, please,
Darcy, come on, please!

Shit!

(people laughing)

(exciting rock music)

Whoa.

Man, we really need to
get you some boxers.

Come on, what are you doing here?

Okay, okay.

So, I came here because...

Okay, this is throwing me off, Aaron.

Okay, god, just what is it?

Don't bullshit me, Aaron,
are you screwing her?

What, who?

Linda, shithead, are you doing Linda?

Why's this (mumbles).

You, you can't just show up here!

Because I love you.

No, no, you do not love me.

Yes, I do.

How do you know?

You have this effect on me.

Every time you walk into
the room I get this,

like the hair on my arms
and my neck, it stands up.

It's like a charge.

A charge?

Within my stomach.

It turns over on itself and I have to...

This is kind of embarrassing,
go to the bathroom.

So, I'm a human laxative.

Pretty much.

And that's love.

I don't know what else to call it.

Then, you know what, why
don't you get some cling free

and some Pepto-Bismol and I'm sure that

you'll be just fine.

I knew you'd make fun of it.

I don't wanna hurt your
feelings but you're 14,

I am not going out with a 14 year old.

Fine, fine, so don't go out with me!

Aaron, just...

Just sleep with me.

No, Jesus Christ, no!

Beth, no!

Seriously, Aaron, I
want you to be my first.

Stop!

I want you to be my first!

(loud knocking)
Stop!

- [William] Milton, what are you doing?

Go away!

Why, why, why?

Because you're the only one who gets me.

What the hell?

No, no, no, no!

No, this is, this is
not what it looks like.

Really, because it
looks like three to five

with community service.

Hi, I'm Beth.

The daughter.

You know what, Beth, zip up your shirt.

So, what's your name?

Wild Bill.

Wild, really?

Okay, you know what, zip up your shirt.

And you, give me your keys.

What are you talking about?

Just give me your keys!

Your roommate's kind of cute.

Shut up.

(fast energetic music)
(phone ringing)

Hey, beautiful.

Wanna know how the blue member (mumbles)

contains serious bonage.

Excuse me.

(record skipping)

This is Susan Milton, I would
like to speak to my son.

Um, I'm...

Oh, oh, I'm sorry, I
thought you were a friend.

I would like to speak to him now.

He is not in the room at present.

So, I could take a message.

Yes, it's for you, if I
don't hear from my son

within 24 hours, I am holding
you personally responsible.

Okay, got it, and consider
it, consider it done.

I will talk to you later, bye.

(soft lighthearted music)

No.

No!

(laughing)

Don't you ever give it a rest?

Come on, man, respect the scarf, okay,

your words, not mine.

Yeah.

Here you go, fuck the
scarf, my words again.

You really shouldn't do that.

Whoa, whoa, okay.

(loud beeping)

Way to go, Milton.

You okay, buddy?

No.

No, no, I'm not.

Use me as a resource, Aaron, all right.

I know a lot about this shit.

No, you don't, okay, because
this isn't about fucking.

All right, as stupid as this may sound,

I might actually be in love.

Dude, she's in junior high.

It's not her, okay, it's her mom.

Finally, an education worth having.

She could be like the ivy
league of sexual knowledge.

(mumbles) Yale.

Okay, is she into you?

Yes.

No.

I, I don't know.

It's just, it's
complicated, she's involved.

Involved?

With a cop.

Oh, you are in way over
your head, my friend.

Not much better, I'm afraid.

Oh, very good, Mr...

Aaron, Aaron Milton.

Well, Mr. Milton, you're
writing style could use

a little tune up but
your ideas are very good.

Thank you.

I am troubled by one thing.

Yes?

You're not enrolled in my class.

(class laughing)

(bell ringing)

Just be honest, what
was wrong with my paper?

Honestly, your analysis
lacked depth, nuance.

Tell me this, what do you
like about Greek tragedy?

I love the women, they're ball busters,

powerful and principled, intense.

Fuck with one of these babes
and she will rip your heart

out and feed it to your friends.

But if you treat her right,
she will line up the planets,

the gods, heaven and earth,
she'll change your life.

You're passionate, I get that.

I'm afraid it's just not good
enough, not at this school.

Just give me another chance.

Trust me, I've seen this
played out again and again.

You're not going to be able to compete.

You don't, you don't even know me.

Oh, I do, I get one
like you every semester.

You know what?

Fuck you.

(slow solemn music)

I don't know, maybe just some
people just don't belong at

a god damn ivy league school.

Come on, who said that,
some stupid professor

with a (mumbles) column shoved up his ass?

Yeah, that's the one.

You can't let him get to you like this.

It's not just him, it's me.

It's like I thought things
were gonna be different here,

different from any other
place I've been but

it's the same story, it's
just smarter assholes.

Look, I'll help you.

Whatever it takes.

You're sweet.

Look, Beth, just about the other night.

I don't wanna talk about it.

Why'd you even come down here?

Why don't you and your cuz
come upstairs to my place?

I got some friends coming by,
it's gonna be so much fun.

I can't, I have homework.

Shit, bring it with, I'll help you out.

What, you'll be my tutor?

Something like that.

What do you say, little man?

It's not up to me.

Maybe another time.

Thanks for the extra topping.

Anytime.

Why do you put me in this position?

It's not a fucking felony, officer,

it's just a little weed.

Right, and your mother knows?

It's none of her god damn business.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here,

but I don't think a 14 year
old should be smoking dope.

Or wielding guns, or
having sex for that matter.

Oh, but cleaning up mom when
she's fucking soiled herself,

I guess that's okay.

What are you talking about?

Bathing her, patching up her broken lip or

putting her to sleep on her side so

she doesn't choke on her
vomit when I was what,

six, seven years old.

Can you light me up?

Getting a better picture
of the good old days, huh?

Before we moved up here,

before Linda became an honor student.

Sorry, I didn't know.

You don't know Linda, it's not pretty.

What about your grandmother
over in Jacksonville,

can't you just go stay with her?

Uh, you mean, Iota Controlla.

Now she's a piece of work, no thanks.

We're never gonna go back there, ever.

So, you want a hit?

No.

Figures.

It's okay.

You're getting warmer.

Holy shit.

What!

What the hell!

I'm marrying your mom is what the hell.

Wes, we said maybe.

I know.

You've gotta be shitting me!

Is that the best you can do, Beth?

Ask her.

That the best you can do, Linda?

That's horse shit.

Wait, where are you going?

No, no, we talked about
this, I'm gonna handle this.

Relax.

(loud drumming)

What the hell are you doing?

You can't just come up here!

Tone it down, Beth, bring it down.

Oh, is that some police negotiation crap?

You learn that in class?

Bring it down, Beth, just bring it down.

All right, don't do this to your mother.

You will never tell me what to do,

now get the fuck out of my room!

This is what you want?

I don't know, I haven't even said yes yet.

Look, he insisted.

You know, he said I
should see how it feels.

And?

Honestly, it's cutting off my circulation.

You will never be family!

Go fuck yourself!

Know what, shut up
yourself or I'm gonna wipe

that little smirk off your face.

What are you so afraid of,
Linda might hear something?

Stop!

Get away from me, you asshole,

or I will poke your fucking eyes out!

Oh, that's good, that's funny.

Yeah.

Hey, hey, stop.

Get off of me, get off of me!

Get off of me!

(dark slow music)

Wes!

Wes, leave her alone!

This little bitch has been
baiting me long enough.

Hey, take your hands off her!

Oh, come on, are you kidding me?

NO, no, let's stop.

(man screaming)

Stop it!

(intense deep music)

Get off of me!

Oh, oh god, Linda.

Get out of my house.

Baby, you know I didn't mean that.

Now!

Thanks for driving me home.

The funny thing is, I never
even wanted to get married.

Who needs it?

So, are you gonna see him again?

What do you think?

(sirens ringing)

- [Wes] Pull over!

- [Linda] I don't believe it.

Shit.

The hell with him.

(sirens ringing)

I'm not stopping, asshole!

Pull over right now!

- [Aaron] Linda, slow down!

I will arrest you, pull over!

OH, you will?

What are you doing?

(horn beeping)

(loud crashing)

Hi.

Tell me he's okay, is he okay?

Are you serious, how could
you give a shit about him?

Not Wes, the dog.

Mom, look at you, and you're
worried about a stupid dog.

He took off, Linda, he's fine.

You're supposed to be strider man.

Um, I know it looks a little strange.

No, no stranger than this.

Look Aaron, this is a brilliant depiction

of lever escapement.

Macabre, but brilliant.

So, how does someone with this much vision

blow all these equations?

You got into this program
because you're gifted.

Did I make a huge mistake?

I don't think he'd want you doing that.

Is that where you make all
your charming phone calls?

What's going on here?

Sorry dude, I tried to stop them.

How did it happen?

Was she drunk, on drugs?

It was an accident.

All right, it wasn't anybody's fault.

I would like to know
what a 17 year old boy

is doing in a car with
some woman in her 30's.

That woman, she's my friend!

She's your friend?

Yeah.

Oh, Aaron, if that's
what you wanna believe.

Dad, look, she's a student.

She's been a huge help to me.

If you would meet her!

All you gotta do is meet,
you just gotta meet her!

I am not paying for this!

I have worked my butt off
to get into this school

and now that I'm here,
what are you gonna do?

You're just gonna yank me out?

Why, because I'm friends
with a woman and...

That is insane.

It wouldn't hurt to meet her.

Are they here yet?

No, not yet.

What do you call this again?

It's curry.

Haven't you ever had curry before?

Yes, I've used it, not to this effect.

It's very festive.

It's Indian, India Indian.

I know, sweetheart, I
recognize it's not maize

and (mumbles).

Well, I think it's delicious, Linda.

So, tell me, Linda, how
did you and my son meet?

We are in an art class together.

Don't you find that a bit impractical?

I mean, we all have our hobbies.

Maybe in my case but when
someone is as talented

as your son here, it
couldn't be more valuable.

What's so great about engineering anyway?

You get to ride in a caboose?

(man laughing)

You don't really think
that's what they do?

I know what they do, Susan, it's just,

I mean, the guy's an awesome artist.

You should give him a chance,
he could be the next Picasso.

Oh, well, there aren't many Picasso's and

the rest starve.

And I want more for my son.

(fun playful music)

You know, your friend Linda is a

handsome woman.

What you mean, she's hot?

Yeah.

Yeah, I think so too.

Really banged yourself up, didn't you?

Well, I (mumbles) whole lot better now.

How many accidents like this
had there been in your life?

Uh, excuse me?

A lot, I'd guess.

Yeah, I'm gonna take the dessert out.

He doesn't know a damn
thing, that boy out there.

I bet you make him feel special, huh?

Like a real Casanova.

I see right through you.

I'd imagine grown men would too,

it must be easier to pick on children.

Okay, that's enough.

You're a mother, let me
ask you mother to mother.

If you saw your child
about to jump off a cliff,

wouldn't you do anything
you could to stop it?

Let me help you.

(tense dark music)

It's war.

(fun dance music)

Let's see, who wants to dance?

With your neck and your arm,

that's probably not such a good idea.

Phil, you look like a samba man.

(fast exciting music)

You go, pops.

Yeah.

I can see you're enjoying this.

(man laughing)

Not doing it.

Your loss!

(loud knocking)

What's going on, huh?

What the hell.

Please tell me this isn't happening.

Who is that guy?

Is she seeing him?

What guy?

The old guy she's dancing
with, I'll kick his ass.

That's my dad.

Yeah, look, it's, it's a long story.

What do you want?

I want to make it up to her.

I still wanna marry her.

Well, I wouldn't book a church right away.

Look, you should probably go, okay?

I'll tell her that you
were asking about her.

Just a minute.

Thank you, sweetie.

Would someone tell me what just happened?

Your son just told a
cop to go fuck himself.

Okay, that is it, Aaron,
Phil, we are leaving.

But we're having a good time.

Does it look like I'm having a good time?

Don't make me ask you again!

You get out of my son's way or so help me,

injured or not, I will rip you to shreds.

Why don't you ask him what he wants?

I don't care what he wants,
I know what he needs!

Oh no, let me show you what he needs.

Phil.

Go home, Susan.

Your son is sweet and
sexy, and talented as hell,

and as soon as you get out of his way,

he's gonna be un-fucking stoppable.

And let me tell you something else,

Phil here is a little dish.

His lights on and he'll
rise to the equation

if you act like you
have blood in your veins

and not antifreeze.

Susan, for god's sake, what are you...

So long, Susan, that's
what they say in India

when they want you to go home.

Get your coat.

No, I'm staying.

You are coming home with your family.

To tell you the truth,
they're more like family.

Whatever family's supposed
to be like than you are.

And is your new family
gonna pay for your tuition,

and your rent, and your food?

Would you say something to your son?

Stay here.

I would.

You ass.

What's happened to you?

I don't know you anymore.

You're right, you don't.

Salome, mom.

(soft solemn music)

Sorry we totally screwed up your life.

You're in love with her, aren't you?

God, I knew it.

Beth, my mom just drove off
with everything that I own.

I'm not exactly on a romance
wavelength right now.

You kissed back, you think I'm blind?

It was nothing.

You know, I actually kind
of feel sorry for your mom.

Why?

Because you chose someone
like my mother over her.

That's gotta burn pretty bad.

There he is.

Come here.

(slow deep music)

Wes.

Wes.

Wes.

Aaron?

Yeah.

I'm sorry, I was dreaming.

Me, too.

Well...

Just go with it.

Hey, hey, hang on, are you sure?

Yes, oh my god.

(loud moaning)

Oh god.

Oh my god.

Shh.

Oh god.

Oh, yes.

What, what are you worried about?

Shh, please, please be quiet.

Oh my god.

Oh god, Wes.

Wes, I'm Aaron, what
are you talking about?

Whatever.

What do you mean whatever?

What's your problem?

- [Aaron] Who are you in bed with?

Damn it.

Oh my god, what do we do?

Can you do me favor and not
make a big deal out of this?

All right, we're friends
who fucked and it was lousy.

All right, oops.

Come on.

I didn't mean that like
that, it came out wrong.

Aaron.

Stop.

Did you ever make love to
somebody instead of fuck them?

I mean, if you wanna sugar coat it,

yeah, I've made love.

How'd that feel?

An awful lot like fucking.

Don't come back!

I mean it, just go away
and don't come back ever,

just fucking evaporate!

Cut it out, Beth.

So, you had your fun,

now just go before it gets too ugly!

Look, you don't know anything about it.

I know Linda's been sucking
down pain meds all week

like it's Halloween candy.

I know she's on her way
down, I've seen it before.

You don't know shit.

Look, she's just in pain.

Okay, she'll be fine in a
couple weeks, I promise.

Don't make promises, people
are shitty with promises.

In fact, people are just shitty.

(solemn slow music)

I'm coming in, Bill.

- [William] Jesus, are you kidding?

How about fuck that man,
look, I'm tired, let me in!

No, I am not dealing with this.

(slow sad music)

I didn't mean to, okay.

We were just, we were talking.

God, will you please shut up.

We were talking about you, okay?

That's the only reason
she even hung out with me.

It's like one of those transference deals.

Right, so I'm having sex with somebody

who's thinking of somebody else,

while you are having sex with
somebody who's thinking of me.

That is so fucked!

Oh, oh, wild man.

You tell me you finally got laid?

Was it mom?

I didn't mean your mom.

Oh shit, how did that go?

Why don't you take a big fat guess.

I have no clothes, I have no friends,

I have no family, and
by 10:00 am tomorrow,

I have to provide
mathematical evidence that

I can walk on water.

And if I screw that up then no scholarship

and I no school.

All right, you need to get (mumbles).

I'm sick and tired of everybody
telling me what to do.

From now on, I'm gonna do what I wanna do.

As soon as I figure out what that is.

(class laughing)

Well, it's up on the
board, that's for sure.

Is this a joke to you, Aaron?

These are the numbers you're looking for.

Mmm, not exactly.

Just because you give me strider,

I'm assuming this is me.

(class laughing)

Just because you give
me strider legs doesn't

mean I can move at their velocity.

They beat gravity because
they move at speeds

at over 100 body lengths per second.

So, someone of my size would...

Have to move at over 400 miles per hour.

Unless you can move that quickly.

Can you, Aaron?

There is still hope.

You could lose 140 pounds.

How much do you weight?

145.

How much?

145.

You do have 24 hours
until the competition.

Class dismissed, we'll see
you tomorrow at the pool,

9:00 am.

(eerie depressing music)

(phone ringing)

(beeping)

- [Linda] Hey Aaron,
is Beth there with you?

Let me know if she is, okay?

I need to know if that's where she went.

Okay, okay, look, she
must have said something

to give you a clue.

Yeah, she packed her bags and

she told me not to bother looking for her.

What the hell you doing here?

Like this!

What the hell else am I supposed to do?

You call the police,
you call the hospital.

I don't know, you act
like you give a shit.

No, Beth is much stronger than me.

I mean, she's gonna be fine.

Fine, fine, Beth...

She is 14!

She's 14 years old!

Okay, has it ever occurred
to you that she might

actually be in trouble?

That you might actually
never see her again!

God, what you're doing,
it's, it's pathetic.

Hey, where's Ray Ray.

It's his night off.

Shit man, he's gonna hook
me up with some eclairs.

You know, the special topping.

He's up there, man.

(intense fast music)

(many people talking)

Yo, can we help you?

(light laughing)

Nah, seriously, who the fuck are you?

(people yelling)
Beth!

- [Man] Where do you
think you're going, huh?

Come here, little man.

Looks like your nanny's here.

(loud pounding)

(mumbles)

(intense rhythmic music)

You know how old she is?

She knows exactly what she's doing.

She's 14, man, she's half your age.

And you're half my size.

But that's not gonna stop
me from fucking you up,

you little college prick.

Well, luckily size isn't the
only dynamic in play here.

Are you aware of the
lever fulcrum principle?

What the fuck?

(loud grunting)

You're full of surprises, little cuz.

(deep dark music)
Stop!

Get off of him!

Get rid of him!

- [Beth] Aaron!

- [Aaron] Beth!

(grunting)

Have a nice night, man.

(light rap music)

Oh, you gotta be kidding me.

What exactly about fuck
off didn't you understand?

I'm trying to...

That's right, flex.

Oh, fuck me.

Take a hike or go to jail.

You're so fucking dead, man.

Whoa, whoa, what the fuck is this?

Stand over there, put
your hands above your head

until the girl's out.

Let's go.

You heard what batman said,
get the fuck out of my room.

Don't ever talk to her
again, do you understand?

See you later, Beth.

You know what, makes sure she's (mumbles).

Come here.

- [Ray] What, it's not like
it's your daughter or anything.

(loud thumping)

You know those balloons you got for Linda?

The get well bullshit.

Sometimes I wonder if
I got enough of those,

I wonder if I could just fly away.

Well, come on, you're the
engineer, could it work?

Yeah, maybe.

(sad slow music)

Beth, I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry, baby.

(light sobbing)

(phone ringing)

Oh god, who died?

Hey, mom, it's me.

Where are you?

What happened, are you okay?

I'm good, I'm surprisingly good.

What time is it?

- [Aaron] It's like, I'm just calling

to let you know that I'm okay.

That's it, that's why you called?

Look, let's face it,
you can be a pretty big

pain in the ass, okay.

But I know that you mean well and

I know that you've done a lot for me.

So, this is just me kind
of saying thank you.

I wanted to call you.

I know.

That's why I called you first.

Goodnight, mom.

Goodnight.

(exciting elating music)

Oho, big day, are we ready guys?

Looks like it.

Milton, has anyone seen Aaron Milton?

Nobody.

Okay.

All right, let's get them in the water.

No more prepping, it's show time.

On your places.

Engineers, are you ready?

Let me see you walk on water!

(horn blowing loudly)

(people cheering)

Who's that over there?

(fast rhythmic music)

You can do this.

(people cheering)

(crowd cheering loudly)

Well, Aaron, you pulled it
off, I'll give you that.

Although I'm not exactly sure this is

in the spirit of the assignment.

Well, the diet wasn't going so well.

- [Woman] Yay, Aaron!

(crowd cheering loudly)
(inspiring exciting music)

They didn't tell you?

(soft intense music)

What is going on?

Uh, I was gonna call but
you had your engineering

competition, I didn't wanna disturb you.

I know, why, why, why
would we wanna do that?

You know, now that I'm
officially not disturbed,

will you please tell me why
everything you own is in a box?

You were right.

It's time for me to be a better mother.

I didn't mean that you had to leave.

Yeah, well, I'm taking
Beth to Jacksonville.

We're gonna move in with my mother.

So, then what?

What, what are you gonna do?

You're just gonna run from
place to place, is that it?

I don't know.

But I gotta do something for Beth.

You know, I don't trust myself right now.

I don't have any backup here.

I'm here.

I know and you're great, but Aaron,

you can't take us on, you're 17 years old.

This is a time for you to make
mistakes not clean up mine.

(solemn slow music)

Did you bring me my favorite food?

(sniffling)

God, you're good to me.

You know, you stood up for
us and I love you for it.

Please go talk to Beth.

She needs to know it's okay to leave.

I'm supposed to be brave and
let you go, how do I do that?

Don't worry because I have a plan.

I was thinking about it all
night while we were packing.

All I have to do is make it
for a few years until I'm 18.

By that point, you'll be
an old guy in your 20's.

You'll be this, this hot
artist in New York surrounded

by groupies and bullshitters.

But somehow, that won't seem like enough.

That's when I'll show up.

And you'll know exactly why there's

been a hole in your life.

I really don't want you guys to leave.

Just promise me you won't forget me.

Thought people were shitty with promises.

Other people, not us.

Promise.

(deep guitar music)

Admit it, this is what
you wanted the whole time.

Hey, Perkins.

You know, you lead a
very interesting life?

Yeah, I'm starting to realize that.

Oh, and I'm onto your little cherry trick.

You tie the knot before it
even goes in your mouth, right?

You know, your engineering classes are

really starting to pay off.

Maybe.

I'll have to get back to you on that.

(soft happy music)

I'm Aaron Milton, I come from
a long line of engineers.

We're good at figuring
out how things work.

Some of the time.
