(crackling)

(upbeat electronic music)

- A quote from
Kerouac's novel Big Sur

has stuck with me.

"Something good will come
out of all things yet,

"and it will be golden and
eternal just like that."

I believe this.

Nobody knows what the
future has in store

and that's what's exciting.

Years from now these times
will on tattered memories,

so I'm gonna enjoy the present.

(cheerful music)

Hey dad.

So I'm a senior
now and no offense

but it's a little embarrassing

driving to school with your dad.

So I was thinking,
I could use a car.

You know to save any ounce
of coolness that I have.

I'm not gonna get a girl.

Yeah.

(door knocking)

- [Ryder's Dad] Ryder,
come eat your breakfast.

- Coming dad.

Let's do this.

- So proud.

Look at this Roy, our senior.

I made your favorite Ryder.

Scrambled eggs and sausage.

- Thanks mom.

- You know, he's a senior
now but he's still a dork.

- Lizzie if we don't have
anything nice to say,

we don't say it.

- Thanks for the vote
of confidence small fry.

- My pleasure.

- Son, you know if you
play your cards right

that swimming scholarship
is in the bag.

All the colleges are
gonna be calling you.

Now get your food scarfed down
so we can get out of here,

we're running late.

- Well, this being my
senior year and all.

No offense to you, but
it's a little humiliating

driving to school with your dad.

You know to keep any
ounce of coolness,

potentially get a date.

- (laughs) Keep dreaming.

- The way I see it,

if you're too embarrassed

to ride to school
with your old man,

then you're gonna have to ride
the bus like everybody else.

I'll see you at school son.

See you later.

(peaceful music)

- [Ryder's Mom] Come
on Lizzie, let's go.

- Here you go son.

- No way, that's mine?

- Honey, with this
being your senior year,

your dad and I thought you
should have your own car.

- Wow.

Finally.

(laughs)

- What do you think?

- This is perfect.

- It's all yours.

- Oh man (laughs).

- '67 Chevelle, it's a work
in progress just like you.

I got a heck of a
deal on this son

and you're not gonna
have to car pool

with the old man anymore.

- No, it's perfect
dad, thank you.

- Enjoy it son.

(upbeat rock music)

(engine revving)

- Hey Erica, check me out.

- Where'd you get this?

- Old man Roy
finally broke down.

Surprised me with
a car this morning.

- No way.

That's awesome.

- Come in.

Your chariot awaits.

- Thank you for saving me
from starting senior year

with one of those
torturous bus rides.

Since my oh so loving
boyfriend Greg, is a no show.

- What are friends for huh?

- I'll look out for
y'all all right?

- All right.

- Laters.
- Bye.

- [Greg] Go get 'em.

- Hey Greg,

- [Greg] What!

You got a car?

- 1967 Chevelle.

- Oh my god, that is so sick.

- So cool man.

- Way better.

Dude you gotta
take me for a spin.

- I will, I will.

- Erica baby.

- Where were you this morning?

- I, sorry babe, I
couldn't pick you up,

I got a thing and
then caught up.

- You could've at
least texted me.

Lucky for you I didn't
have to take the bus.

- Hey thank you so much
for picking up Erica bro,

I owe you one.

- Yeah, no problem, go get her.

- Erica babe.

Hey Jordan.

- Hey guys, what's up?

- Nothing much
just ready to kick

this school year off right.
- What's up man?

- How it's going?
- How you feeling?

Good enough.

- Hey Jordan.

- How's it going Erica?

- Yo, I got a car.

- No way man, that's awesome.

- Thanks man.

- This is it guys,
we rule the school.

One more year in this shit hole.

- Dude I can't
wait, I'm so ready.

- Finally senior year.

- "The future is no
more uncertain than
the present." Right?

You know, Walt
Whitman, the poet?

- (laughs) No, I
don't read that man.

(laughing)
(bell ringing)

- Anyway I gotta get to
class, I don't wanna be late.

Bye.
- All right, bye.

- Yo, what you get
in first period?

- Principal.

- Students.

- Hagerson.
- Hagerson.

- That's Principal
Hagerson to you.

And Ryder, I've had a very
interesting conversation

with your father this morning.

And you know the subject.

(laughing)

So don't screw this up.

(snaps fingers)

- Did you see the suits
he's got with him?

He's got undercover
cops at the school.

I wouldn't surprised
if the son of a bitch

installed cameras
everywhere too.

- To do what?

So he could keep us in a
secret massive control room,

feed us propaganda everyday?

- 1984, big brother.

- Yeah I don't.
- Let's--

- Really, oh my god.

- Ryder.

- [Greg] Later bro.

- [Jordan] Good luck.

- I didn't see your name
on the sign up sheet.

- Hey coach, yeah I figured

with this being my
senior year and all,

I'd focus on my studies.

- Ryder don't quit on me now.

We need you on the
free relay team.

You're our anchor.

Get your paperwork in
today for registration.

- Okay, sorry.

(upbeat rock music)

- So Siobhan, I see you're back.

- Yeah Blaine, Catholic
school's a bitch.

Like this is any better.

- Yeah, Hagerson's got all
these suits walking around.

Definitely gonna have
to lay low this year.

- Yeah I saw that.

What are you doing after school?

- Hello.

All right, take a seat.

Good morning, hello class.

- What's up dude?

- Here comes trouble.

- Seniors 2016.

I am Mr. De La Vega.

Accent on the De La.

So before we get into
this years syllabus,

first I wanna read a few lines

from your summer reading novel,

I hope some of you read it.

A Portrait of the Artist as
a Young Man, James Joyce.

"Once upon a time and a
very good time it was,

"there was a moocow
coming down along the road

"and this moocow that was
coming down along the road

"met a nicens little
boy named baby tuckoo.

"His father told him that story.

"His father looked at
him through a glass.

"He had a hairy face.

"He was baby tuckoo.

"The moocow came down the
road where Betty Byrne lived.

"She sold lemon platt."

Can anybody tell me
what's going on here?

Why does it sound so erratic?

Yes Miss--

- Erica, Severson.

- Miss Severson
you have the floor.

- The book starts with
Steven Dedalus's father

telling him the story of the
baby tuckoo and the moocow

and Steven identifies
himself with the baby tuckoo,

because he's young and innocent

and hasn't really found
himself yet in society.

Hence why he sounds erratic.

- Excellent Erica, thank you.

So I believe that this quote,

accurately describes
everybody in this room.

Of course I'm sure,

everyone here doesn't
sound so erratic right?

But everybody in this room

is trying to find himself
or herself in society.

This is an important
transitional time
for all of you.

After graduation some of you
are gonna go on to college.

Some of you will go
on to the workforce,

hopefully all of you

will become key
contributors to our society.

So let's get started.

This year we are going to
read some diverse authors,

right along with
Joyce, Salinger,

we'll be doing some Shakespeare.

(class groans)

Plus we're gonna do some
of my personal favorite,

who's very dear to me,
some Chicano authors.

Jimmy Santiago
Baca, Rudolfo Anaya.

Bless Me Ultima, one of the
greatest novels of all time.

And, when we're done
with A Portrait,

your next assignment will be

Catcher in the Rye
by JD Salinger.

So let's get started.

(bell rings)

- Siobhan?

- Hey Ryder.

- What are you um?

- Um, what am I doing here?

- Yeah.

- I got kicked out of
that private school

and I have to be educated
somewhere so here I am.

- Wow.

- Look, um, I've gotta go, but
I'll see you in class okay?

- Yeah.

(melancholy music)

- Well, I've gotta get to
class so I'll see you later.

- Okay.
- Bye.

- Oh.

(laughing)

I'm going on a date
with Allison Haines.

- All right.
- Way to go bro.

- I got a feeling that this
is gonna be a great year.

- It's absolutely
gonna be a great year.

- [Erica] Yeah,
she's cute, congrats.

- Good stuff man.

I'm stoked for ya.

- Hey call me after I
wanna hear all about it.

- [Erica] Yes, details.

(peaceful piano music)

- Good afternoon.

Hey Jordan, how you
doing today bud?

- Good, how are you?

- [Ryder's Dad] Good.

- Have you read this book?

- A Portrait of the
Artist as a Young Man.

That's a good book.

I read it a long
time ago (laughs).

You know Joyce has another
one called Ulysses,

it's a much more difficult read,

but I think you'll love it.

- Thanks for the recommendation.

"Good books, good friends
and a sleepy conscience,

this is the ideal life."

- Oh man, Mark Twain that's
one of my favorite authors.

- Mine too.

- Hey Jordan, let's go.

- Ryder, come here.

What's this about Coach
Walters coming in here today

to tell me you
quit the swim team.

You're good at it.

You could get a scholarship son.

- Dad I don't like
to swim, okay.

That was your dream, not mine.

- Quit getting distracted
by all the girls

and all the other stupid stuff.

Have you even filled out your
college applications yet?

- Dad, not now.

- If you continue to
quit when life gets hard,

life is gonna quit on you son.

- Jordan, let's cruise.

- Ryder.

- No.

- I'm sorry Mr. J.

- I really wish my dad
didn't work in the library.

- It's not all that bad.

At least he's confined
to the library

and doesn't randomly
pop into your classes.

(laughs)

- What are you guys
doing after school?

- Nothing, I'm pretty beat.

- Finishing this book.

- I'm gonna re-read
that, it's so good.

- So good.

- I wonder what Siobhan's doing?

- Hey didn't you say
Siobhan was going with that

skater druggie dude,
what's his name?

- Blaine.
- Yeah.

- Yeah I think
that's her boyfriend.

- No, she wouldn't
go out with him.

- I'm just telling
you what I saw.

- Looks like your baby
momma's spoken for.

- I don't care what any
of you guys have to say,

I'm starting this
year off right.

I mean I got a car,
anything's possible.

I'm gonna get Siobhan Alexander.

You guys watch.

- Alrighty.
- I like the attitude man.

- Peace.
- Hey man, just remember

it's not the size of your boat,

it's the motion in the ocean.

- [Ryder] Yeah real funny Greg.

- He knows man, he's rocking
a kayak, don't sweat it.

- Go get 'em buddy.

You know I'm right.

(phone ringing)

- What's up?

- Hey listen, so I was thinking,

I think Siobhan coming back
to school is a good sign.

I mean I think we're
meant to be together.

- Please Siobhan
doesn't care about you.

Ryder it's been four years.

You've been pining after this
girl ever since freshman year,

how many times does she
have to break your heart

before you get the message?

- Oh my gosh Erica, why
do you hate her so much?

- Well, she's hot,

she's a psycho bohemian chick

and she brings you heartache.

- Yeah well she's
had some problems.

I mean her dad left
when she was young.

Her parents use her
against each other so.

- Chicks with daddy issues,
those are the worst.

What are you gonna do?

Save her?

- I mean, listen I was planning

on taking Siobhan to the prom.

On a date.

- Care to make a wager?

- I bet you $20 I take
Siobhan to the prom?

- Oh wow look at you Mr.
High Roller, deal $20.

- And one more thing.

- And what's that, Good
Lord Sir High Roller?

- $20 and a dance
with you at prom.

At the very least I'll be able
to dance with my best friend,

if my date doesn't show up.

- Flattery will get
you everywhere darling.

(groans)

- How did you get this job?

- I need an elective
and here I am.

(laughs)

- I can't believe this schools
entrusting you with this.

- Wow, and I here I am,
thinking about joining the navy.

- Joining the navy?

Where did that come from?

What about baseball
at UT Austin?

- Now you sound like your dad.

- Oh that's a good one.

- I do wanna go to UT,
desperately, but...

what if I don't get in.

You know, what if I don't
get a baseball scholarship?

Perhaps the navy would
be the way to go.

- But, that's a long commitment,

it's what four years
of your life right?

- Yeah.

Yeah four years.

But I don't know,
I, I genuinely think

it might do me some good to
be told what to do for once.

My old man barely talks to me,

it's like he can't wait for me
to graduate and move out so--

- Dude I hear you man.

I mean I feel like

I can never live up to my
dads expectations either.

You know, never good enough.

I remember I played
freshman football,

he noticed every time I was
in, it was a running play.

So he told me to tell the
coach to put me in as receiver.

So the coach finally does and
I get this ball from Eric.

- Eric (laughs).

- Don't laugh.

- [Jordan] Hey Eric.

- You know, I was one of his
signature spinning ducks.

Yeah, you already know.

- Eric.

- Spinning all sideways
and everything.

A quality pass.

- [Jordan] Quality.

- Anyways I stretched
out for it, I missed it.

Anyways I returned
to the sidelines

and my dad was like "you
should have caught the ball."

I quit football after that.

- Dude, you had
to stick with it.

I mean, I believe,

that a person is defined by
their work ethic, all right.

I mean, you create your
world blink by blink,

it's all your perception.

I don't know man, I just,

I wish you hadn't
quit swim team.

Honestly, I think you
could have been great.

(upbeat rock music)

* I saw you walking around

* Walking around

* The sun was
hitting the ground *

- All right bro, one question.

- What's up?

- Coach Walters?

Would you?

- (laughs) No.

- No?
- Would you?

- Absolutely.

- Oh my gosh you're a dog Greg.

- Are you kidding
me, in those shorts?

- Dude, I cannot
wait to go to college

next year at Texas Tech,

I hear the girl to guy
ratio is like three to one.

- But what about you and Erica?

I thought you guys
were doing great?

- She wants to go to Texas,

anyway I need to meet more
sexually sophisticated girls.

We've never even
gone all the way.

Kind of a cock tease.

- Oh.

- (laughs) You should've
seen your face.

I'm kidding man, it's all good.

- Dude that's not funny man.

- I thought it
was kind of funny.

I'll see you later.
- Not even funny.

- I thought it hilarious.
- It's not funny Greg.

- I'll tell you say what up.

- All right, have fun man.

(phone ringing)

- [Actor On TV] We gotta find
that money before they do.

Alrighty vamos!

- Hello.

(melancholy music)

Yeah, you all right?

- Thanks for picking me up.

- No problem.

You okay?

- Greg was being a jerk.

I'm just tired.

I wanna go to bed.

Thanks for not making
a big deal about it.

- Of course.

- We have our issues.

We don't fight that
much, you know,

he just wants more of me.

But he's, he's good
to me you know.

- Erica you don't have to
make up excuses, I believe ya.

- Thanks Ryder.

- Yeah.

- Remember that time
when in the eighth grade,

we stayed up all night to
get tickets to see The Cure?

- Damn scalpers
got the best seats.

- It's all rigged.

- It was still a
good show though.

- The best.

- Well, here we are.

Thanks again for
bringing me home.

You're a sweetheart.

- That's what my
grandmother says.

- Greg could learn a
thing or two from you.

Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

- Erica, baby, how many times

do I have to tell you I'm sorry?

Look at this face,
doesn't it say I'm sorry?

- Fine.

I forgive you.

Coach Walters works out here?

(peaceful music)

I'm right here.

- What?

(groans)

What?

Oh no babe, it's not like that,
I was looking for technique.

- Hey Siobhan.

- Leaving early today, just
not in the mood you know.

- What are you gonna do?

- Hop in and I'll show you.

- Okay.

(peaceful music)

- You know why I
left private school?

Well, after my dad left,

I'd get drunk everyday just
to deal with everything.

And those stupid
bitches at school,

I slept around a lot.

Well, anyway, I never
finished the year.

They sent me to rehab.

I was sober for a short while,

but in rehab I learned
that I'm an old soul.

I'm a wanderer.

I often wonder if I'll
ever get where I'm going.

I feel so alone
sometimes, you know?

- You're not alone.

I mean you can't blame yourself
for your dad leaving you.

Things aren't easy okay.

I'll help you figure it out.

- Do you believe in past lives?

- I guess so.

- I often dream of a past life.

Have you ever had
your cards read?

- No, what's that?

- Tarot cards.

I've been studying
them lately, they work.

I believe the past is not fixed,

the future's not fixed,
it's all in the cards.

We need some music.

(classical music)

Music's been my salvation.

Keeps me sane.

Cheaper than a psychiatrist.

(laughs)

I'm into new wave,
shoegaze, dream pop.

Bands like Cocteau Twins,
Smiths, Felt, Beach House.

I'm also into classical music.

I'll have to share my
mix with you some time.

- That'd be cool.

- This is Paganini's
24th Caprice.

You know, it's said
that Paganini's mother

sold her sons soul to the devil

to become the worlds
greatest violinist.

(classical music continues)

We better head back.

(relaxed rock music)

- Ryder.

- [Together] Ryder.

- Ryder.
- Ryder.

- Ryder.
- Ryder.

(gasps)

- Oh shit dude, you scared me.

- We were just driving by

and thought we'd come and
see how it went with Siobhan?

- Well, we kissed.

- Right on, okay.
- Right on man.

- Okay, so did you, you
know turn on the water,

check the water temperature
a little bit huh?

(laughs)

- [Jordan] Yes, good job man.

- [Greg] Yeah did you
smash in the back seat?

No, you're more a front
seat kind of a guy.

(laughing)

Which one huh?
- No.

- [Greg] Which position?

- No, it wasn't like that dude,

you're a freaking sicko.

- [Greg] Oh.

- [Jordan] What?

- We just, we just talked
and things led on to another.

- Why hell yeah
man, that's awesome.

Guys, I'm thinking we kick
this evening up a notch.

- Right on.
- Let's go fishing.

- I love fishing.

I went with cousins,
we caught some tilapia,

it was so fun.

- Not necessarily
that fishing, yeah.

- Dude, not, yeah not that
kind of fishing J-dog.

Different, but not that one.

- "You have your
way, I have my way,

as for the right way, the
correct way and the only way,

it does not exist."

- Okay, Nietzsche.

- Wow, okay yeah,

that's actually
really impressive.

- Thanks man you know.

- What?

- I'm not really
as dumb as I seem.

- Yeah.

(laughing)

- What?

Hey uh, your dad
got any beer here?

- I can't believe we're doing
this to Principal Hagerson.

Shit, if we get caught, I'd
never get a scholarship.

- Relax Jordan, have a beer.

- All right it's ready.

- All right, let's go.

(whimsical music)

Go.

(laughing)

Let's go fishing.

(window taps)

(laughing)

- He looks like a dumpling
in whitey tighteys.

Now what?

- That's right,

you heard something but you
don't know what the hell it is.

(window tapping)

(laughing)

- Dude let me see, let me see.

- Bring him on home,
bring him on home.

- Oh dude he's
getting so pissed.

(laughing)

Wait, wait a second.

Wait, where'd he go?

- I don't know is he in
the bathroom or something?

- Oh shit he's coming.

He's coming.

Go, go, go, go, go.

- Slackers!

- [Together] Suck it Hagerson!

- Slackers, slackers!

- Okay so to reiterate right,

you don't breathe in the
middle of the verse line,

just like rap.

"To be or not to be" (inhales)
"that is the question."

Wrong.

You don't breathe in the
middle of the verse line.

"To be or not to be
that is the question,

"Whether 'tis nobler
in the mind to suffer

"the slings and arr."

Wrong.

You don't run on either,
right just like rap.

"Whether 'tis nobler in the
mind to suffer." (inhales)

"The slings and arrows
of outrageous fortune."

Right, just like to rap you
have to know where to breathe

in the verse line.

All right?

All right, so let's get
together and work this out

in different groups.

Why don't we have, Jordan,
you and Erica, the smart ones.

Allison, why don't you guys
get together and work on it?

And we've got Alex,
Janice and Lindsey

why don't you guys get
together in a group?

You guys get
together with Justin.

Siobhan and Ryder, you
guys get together and work.

Carlos, Portia here, you
guys can work together there.

Corey and Emily.

Katarina, you can get together
with Jordan's group okay?

Let's get into these groups.

Hola.

- Confused?

- So confused.

- All right look.

So "now is the win ter
of our discontent."

This one happens
to be an inversion

because the syllables
are stressed.

- I totally don't
get this stuff.

- Yeah.

So I was thinking, maybe
we could go out tonight?

- I already have plans.

- Oh yeah.

- Yeah, Friday I
always go the Amp Room,

9:00 p.m. to close.

They have the best DJ and
after the week I've had,

I'm in desperate need
of some good music.

- Well I mean I could
always meet you there?

- Come with if you'd like?

* Fall back in love

- Okay.

- [Siobhan] Elmo!

- Siobhan where you been?

Oh my god, you look great.

- Thank you, how are you?

- I'm doing good, you good?
- Good.

Do you mind if my
friend gets a stamp?

- Sure, absolutely, hold on.

Let me stamp you guys.

Go on in.

Y'all have a great time guys.

- Thanks.
- Thank you.

- Do you have fake ID?

- No, I don't need one.

I've been coming
here since I was 13.

It's like another home.

Stay here and I'll
get us some drinks.

- Okay.

- [Siobhan] JilL.

- Hey.
- Hi, how are you?

- I'm good how are you?
- Good,

I haven't seen you in so long.

- I know.

Just working, you
know, making money.

- Good, good good good.

- Who's the fella?

- [Siobhan] Um he's just a
friend, he's really nice.

- All right, what can I get you?

- The usual please.

- Yeah sounds good.

What you crazy cats up too?

- Just came here
for the awesome DJ!

- All right, have fun.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

(upbeat electronic music)

- Here you go.

This place is cool.

- Yeah, yeah, it's cool.

Do you wanna dance?

- Um, look Ryder, we're
not together okay.

- Look Siobhan, I'm
getting mixed signals here.

I mean the other
day at the museum

and then we kissed in the park

and I thought we were together.

- Sure we kissed,

but it felt right
for the moment.

- Siobhan, look I
wanna be with you.

I thought you felt the same way.

- Hey Blaine.

- Who's this?

- No one, look
can I talk to you.

- Hey relax all right.

I've got a few more people
I gotta see around here,

then I'll come back and
I'll take care of you.

- Okay.

- What was that about?

- Nothing, what do you mean?

- I am interrupting you two?

- No, we have an understanding

and it's really none
of your business.

- Siobhan, that kid
is a dope dealer.

- This is a hot mess, forget
I told you to come here okay?

(window tapping)

(moans)

- Can I talk to you?

- Maybe she doesn't like you

as much as your brain
thinks she does.

There are so many other girls
out there besides Siobhan,

you can do way better.

Ryder, I've known you
since the fourth grade,

you're a sweet guy okay.

- Yeah, you were that cute
girl with the double ponytails.

- Pigtails.

- Yeah that's what I said.

- No, no it wasn't (laughs).

- You sat right in front of me

and you were always
so nice to me.

(melancholy music)

Remember that time I
accidentally threw up on you?

- Yes, oh my god, I tried to
block that out of my memory.

Thanks for bringing it back up.

- I'm sorry about that.

- I loved that dress so much,
my mom made me throw it away.

- You know I had a crush on you?

- I never knew that.

- Yeah it's true.

I even carved your
name on my tree.

- That's so sweet.

- Oh I'm hopeless.

- Romantic.

- What can I say, I was raised
listening to the Beatles.

Sweet guys finish
last anyways right?

- No, look, you've put
Siobhan on this pedestal

but she's not worthy Ryder.

Okay if you're
giving it to your all

and it's not enough,

you're probably giving
it to the wrong person.

She deserves better.

You, you deserve someone
that appreciates you.

- I love her.

I mean she's all I think about.

I just need to get
her to see that,

that we can be great
together, you know.

I'm being stupid.

- You're not being stupid.

- Yeah I am.

- Don't say that.

You just can't make
someone love you.

It sort of just happens.

- Yeah.

Thanks for listening
to my bullshit anyways.

- It's not bullshit Ryder.

Look, you should
really get home,

your dad's gonna be
super worried about you.

- Where the hell
have you been son?

- I slept the night at Greg's.

- Why in the hell
didn't you call?

Your mother was
worried sick about you.

You have got to
straighten up son.

- Dad, not now okay.

- If not now, when?

All you wanna do
is blow things off.

Go out and have fun
with your friends.

You need to get your ass in gear

so you can get into college.

- Okay whatever.

(bell rings)

- User.

- If you've got a problem
with me, then say it.

- I'll be perfectly
honest with you.

I don't like you

and I don't like what
you're doing to Ryder.

So stay away from him.

- Siobhan wait.

- Not today Ryder,
leave me alone.

- What's wrong?

- I've gotta get out of here,

I can't deal with
this shit, not today.

- Why?

- My parents had it out
with me this morning, okay.

All they do is fight,

it's like they treat me
as their emotional pinata.

Today they were on
top of their game.

And on top of that your stupid
little friend got on my ass,

I hate my life.

- Siobhan wait.

* We're falling,
just hold on tight *

* We'll chase the night

- Why did you have
to drag me here?

You're stupid for
following this chick.

There's this thing called
stalking, it's illegal you know.

- Will you calm down please.

Okay, she left
school crying today.

- She's a big girl,
she can handle herself.

- Dude, the least you
can do is come with me

and make sure she's
all right okay.

- No, that's all they have
is the bass, the acoustic.

- Bass and try to keep it.
- And the electric.

Now they actually didn't
have drums you know.

- Hey, hey, hey.

- Oh Siobhan, Siobhan!

Siobhan, Siobhan.

(melancholy music)

Why do you hate
yourself so much?

(phone bleeps)

(upbeat rock music)

- All the time.
- All the time.

- Oh look who
decided to show up.

A little late.

- Dude you touched his freaking
hand, are you kidding me?

- I couldn't help it,
it was ridiculous.

- Okay, I'm just
gonna sit here okay.

- Okay.

(laughs)

- Where's Greg?

- He's sick, but this
badass band was playing

and there was no way I was
gonna miss it, like you did.

But, um, they're
coming back in June

and if you're not there, I just,

I don't think we can be
friends anymore Ryder.

- Is that so.

- Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

(laughs)

Have you decided where you
wanna go to college yet?

- I guess I've given it
a little bit of thought,

but then again there's SAT's

and my PSAT's aren't
exactly stellar.

- Yeah I feel you.

Heck, I have no idea
how I'm gonna do it.

I wanna go to Texas,

but there's no way I'm gonna
score that high on the SAT's.

- Oh my god.

You're a brain Erica.

You have a plan, who knows,

maybe Texas State will
lower their standards

and accept yours truly.

- Shut up are you kidding me?

I saw the way you
were in English,

teaching Siobhan that
Shakespeare stuff.

You were ridiculous.

- No it's nothing.

Come on, I wanna
show you something.

- Where are we going?

- Doesn't matter? Let's go.

It's an adventure.

- Ah it's an adventure.

- Hey, I'm just gonna catch
a ride with him, cool?

- All right.

- All right bye guys.
- See you later.

- Bye.
- Bye guys.

Where we going?

- Um, a really cool spot,

where I'm gonna kill you?

- Carl's Junior?

- Yep.

- You know what I'd like
to do after graduation,

is travel to Europe.

- Oh I hear you.

Anywhere along
the Mediterranean.

- I mean my dream would
become some painter or writer.

You know live in a small
Spanish style fishing village

or something like that.

- That sounds like a lonely,
yet romantic existence.

But that would only
fuel your tortured soul

and inspire you more.

(romantic music)

- I say that we
get Eurail passes.

- Travel all over
Europe together.

- Mm-hmm.

I like that.

We will walk the
beaches of Spain

and party in the
streets of Rome.

- You got a backpack?

- A backpack?

- I mean we'll walk
from village to village

with only what we can
carry on our backs.

- Oh.

Well you're a gentleman
right, you can carry mine?

- No, you gotta carry your own.

- Come on, you wouldn't
help little old me?

We can't do this.

- Erica wait.

- I don't know what else to say.

Thank you.

You saved my miserable life.

- I'm just glad to
hear you're all right.

It's the last you'll
see of Blaine though.

Cops busted him after
searching his locker.

- I know.

Look, I also wanna
apologize about

that night at the Amp
Room a while back.

It's totally not cool
of me to do that to you.

- [Ryder] I'm glad to hear that.

- I've gotta run, I have
a doctors appointment.

I'll see you later.

- Okay.

(coughing)

- Oh Mr. Money.

- Ah.

- Thank you for, for
covering for me today,

you're a lifesaver.

- No problem Mr. De La Vega.

Your class is safe in my hands.

Fist bump.

- Huh?

- Bump the fist.

A little bit of boom.

- I.

- Little bit of love rocket.

- No.

- A little explosion
of love on the Earth's.

Okay, well namaste.

- Yeah namaste.

- Namaste, peace.

Peace plus love

equals Mr. Money.

(laughing)

Namaste children, settle,
settle, settle, namaste.

My name is Mr. Money and
I'm your substitute teacher.

Wow, your aura's are just
spinning out of control.

Your chakra's are on fire,

particularly your root chakra.

(laughing)

Don't worry, it's just puberty.

It will end some
time in mid-30's.

So, brother De La
Vega is out sick today

with an extremely
contagious cough.

He wouldn't even,
boosh, explode the rock.

But this man would yeah?

Give me some dap.

Hey what a guy.

- I got you Mr. Money.

- Namaste, what a sweetie.

Brother De La Vega failed
to leave any lesson plan,

so, talk amongst yourselves.

Just don't get too loud okay.

Go.

- Everybody is out sick.

Even Allison's gone man.

- It sucks.

(whimsical music)

- [Jordan] The best
lesson I've ever had.

I'm feeling educated, more
and more by the minute.

- Let's get out of here,
come on, come one, come on.

Come on, come on, come on.

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Come on.

- Hey, um Mr. Money, I need to
get something from my locker.

- Yeah me too actually.

- I need to supervise
them, they get distracted.

- Dudes and dudette,

senior skip day?

- Yeah.

- Run while you still can.

Namaste.

(upbeat rock music)

* You look so fine

* You seem so cool

* I let you drive me
on your star surprise *

* When I see your
eyes are calling *

* When I see the
sky is falling *

* You're a person

* You're always there

* I let you drive me
on your star surprise *

* When I see your
eyes are calling *

* When I see the
night is falling *

- All right, I
think we lost him.

A bunch of suits
by the front doors,

so let's go out the back.

My car's there.

- So, about the other night.

- Ryder, don't.

Let's just pretend it
never happened okay?

So I saw you talking to
Siobhan the other day,

how's she doing?

- She's good.

First day back at school

and we had, had a
little moment there.

- That's good.

- She apologized for
embarrassing me at the Amp Room.

- Wow, an apology from Siobhan?

What, that's gotta be like a
first time or something right?

Guess you could say things
are getting pretty serious?

- (laughs) Oh shut up.

- Are you, you still planning
on taking her to prom?

Or should I just
take my $20 now?

- It's not over till it's over.

- Okay, yeah.
- Yeah, you know.

Still planning on asking her,

nothing can get in my way.

(peaceful music)

- [Girl] Hey Ryder, nice car!

- Thanks, want a ride?

- For sure.

- Hey Luke, what's up man?

- Hey what's up Ryder?

- What's up guys?

Hey what are you doing
for spring break?

- I don't have any plans really.

- Well a bunch of us are
going to Padre, you wanna go?

- Not really my scene,
went there last year,

once you been there you
been there, you know.

- Yeah.
- Besides,

there's this new art
film at the Bijou,

I think I might check it out.

- That's cool.
- Yeah.

Look, I've gotta run.

I have another doctors
appointment to go to so.

- Siobhan wait.
- Yeah.

- Um, look I think you're
amazing, and beautiful

and I know you've
been through a lot.

But um, I wanna
be there for you.

I like you.

Listen, um, I really
wanna take you to prom.

She said yes.

- Who?

- Siobhan.

- To do homework together?

- No, to go to prom, boom.

- No way.

- Yes way, she said yes, whoop.

- Good for you Ryder.

- Hey you okay man?

You're not really
saying very much.

- Oh man, I'm just
feeling the pressure.

We got that big game against
Churchill tomorrow night

and word is there's gonna be
some college recruiters there.

- Dude that's awesome.

- Yeah, but I mean,

what if I whiff on every
pitch thrown to me, you know.

- You're gonna do fine.

You always do.

- Thanks man.

- Ryder, by the way,

excellent on that
Catcher in the Rye essay.

- Thank you sir.
- Very good work.

- Thank you.

It's actually the
first book I've read

that I actually enjoyed.

- Really?
- Yeah.

- Check this out.

Here, I think you'll
enjoy this one too.

Jack Kerouac, On The Road.

Kind of reminds me of you.

It's my personal
copy, you can have it.

- Oh thank you.

- You got it.

- Mr. De La Vega,

did you actually play
professional soccer?

- (laughs) Yeah,
I was pretty good

until I blew out my knee.

Man I miss that game.

Hey, I'll show you a picture

of me scoring a
Championship goal.

- Wow.

That's so cool.

- I had good legs huh?

- So you guys going to
Padre for spring break?

- Yeah, aren't you?

- No.

I've gotta study.

Taking the SAT next Monday.

- Is Greg still going?

- Yeah for sure.

You think he'd actually
pass up a chance to party

to study with me?

If you haven't noticed
he's a little selfish.

Trouble with being the
first born I guess.

You'll have a blast though.

- Yeah we will.

- The water is so cold there,

you're gonna have to be careful.

(laughs)

- Do you hear
about our boy here?

- I did it, I got into UT
and I got a scholarship.

Gonna be a LongHorn!

- No way dude.

That is so cool man.

Congratulations.
- Thanks bro.

- This kid, better remember
us when he's big time right?

- Yes.
- You better.

- I might, I might.

Seriously guys, I am so stoked.

This weekend I'm gonna
hang out with my cousins,

we're gonna go fishing,
we're gonna celebrate,

it's gonna be awesome.

- Oh man, I'm so bummed

Padre with us though bro.

- Right.
- I will next time man,

I promise.

- Sounds good, we'll
hold you to that.

- [Jordan] You better.

- You ready to go?
- Let's go.

- Okay guys I'll see you later.

- Later guys.

Wow.

Dude I knew you
were gonna do that.

- Really?

- I knew, no doubt in
my mind, I knew it.

I mean you came, you
saw, you conquered.

- Veni, vidi, vici.

- I have no idea
what that means but--

- Well, you said it already.

Allison is waiting on me.

But have an awesome
time in Padre, bro.

- We will, we will dude.
- You better.

- We will man.

Congratulations dude.
- Thanks man.

- I'll see you later.
- All right bye.

- Bye.

Hey.

- Of course.

I love you.

- You guys smell that?

That is spring break.

- Oh it smells nice.

- Oh I love it.
- Delicious.

- Hey we're taking your
car to Padre right?

- Yeah man, we're good.

- Cool, 'cause mine's in the
shop so I ain't got wheels.

- Wait.

Wait, where's my car?

- You parked it there?

- Yeah, yeah I parked
it here this morning.

Someone stole my car.

Oh shit.

- Oh damn.

- Oh my god.
- Oh shit.

Why does this always
happen to me huh?

Why not this thing?

- I'm so sorry bro.

- Damn it!

Um, I gotta tell my dad man.

What do I say to my dad?

- Um, I don't man,
your dad scares me.

- Give me ideas, I don't
know what to say dude.

- Blame it on Hagerson,
that's what I do.

- Hagerson stole his car?

- Yeah Hagerson stole it.

Dude that guy's.

- No, that's not funny,
no seriously dude,

That guy chased
our car with a bat.

- I would just not
say anything at all.

- Dude that guy's crazy.

- Whoa.
- Yeah.

- Well that was fun.

Wanna know what my
old man told me?

I should have been
more responsible.

He asked if I locked the car.

"No dad, I left it in with
the keys in the ignition."

- So, what about Padre?

- It's no go man.

Unless you wanna rent a car.

- I don't have money for that.

- Neither do I.

- Well, you know, when
in doubt Greg it out.

Let's roll.

(upbeat rock music)

- Okay pour those.

Oh my dude, I know you're
bummed about your car,

So you gonna give
me my $20 now or--

- No.
- Or later?

- I am not paying you $20
until I see her at prom.

Because for all I
know she could ditch.

- Oh shut up Erica.

- I'm just kidding.

- So you still hate her?

- If she makes you
happy, then I'm happy.

(laughing)

I hate her.

- Yeah I can tell.

- You know you said that
you'd kiss Siobhan before,

but I just don't believe you.

- Why not?
- I just don't.

- Well shut up.

- Look, okay, you are
going to prom with Siobhan

and you probably
gonna kiss her right?

And me being the great
friend that I am,

I think I'll help you practice.

- Seriously?

- Yeah.

- I mean I kissed you
that night at Limelight.

- Yeah.

(retching)

- Oh shoot.

Erica, are you okay?

- Ladies.

- Claudia, our shots.

- Wooh.

All right, let me see
this, I got a song.

I got a song,
everybody I got a song.

I got a song to play right now.

* I fell in love with
her bearded clam *

* Child of nature, son of Sam

* She said just take as I am

* Me and my hairy bearded clam

* Her pubic hair, they
touched the floor *

* I cannot take it anymore

* I said goddamn you
gotta shave that thing *

* Let's score

* When your pubic hair
touched the floor *

Yes, thank you.

(cheering)

Y'all can go back to doing
whatever you were doing.

- Oh shoot. You okay Erica?

- I'm sorry.

- No it's fine, sit up.

- You threw up on
me in fourth grade

and now I almost
threw up on you.

- Yeah, well at least
you missed okay.

(retching)

Oh I, spoke too soon,

You know what,

I'm gonna run inside and
get you some ginger ale,

it'll probably help
with your stomach.

- Thank you.

- Don't move please.

Okay, I'll be right back.

Beautiful.

Hey, have you seen Greg?

- Yeah, he's just there.

- Over there.

- Yeah.

- Beautiful thank you.

Excuse me bro.

(moaning)

Greg.

- Get out of here,

- Oh shit.

- Hey I'm sorry I know
you told me to wait.

- No.

- I just wanna make
sure you're okay.

- Here, okay that's--
- Oh I'm good.

I think I'm gonna go find Greg.

- Let's go outside Erica.

- I'm just, I'm just
gonna find Greg.

Is he in there?

(moaning)

Greg.

- Erica.

- Come here Greg.

Come here.

- How could you do this?

- Shoot.

Erica.

- Erica.
- No.

- Erica.
- No.

- Erica!

Oh shit.

- Let's go back and
finish what we started.

Come on.

- [Ryder] What was that Greg?

- Ryder, you the asshole,

you could've kept her
from going in there.

- Don't you dare
put this on me okay.

You're the dumb ass
that's messing around

when you've got someone
special like Erica.

- You jealous bastard.

You've already got your
weird ass Siobhan chick,

you go and fuck up
my relationship?

- Wow Greg wow. Real cool.

- Oh, is it because you
got a hard on for a chick

who doesn't give
a shit about you?

- You know what Greg, screw you.

- You know what, bring it on.

Let's go.

(sirens blare)

- [Partygoer] Cops, cops.

- [Girl] Go, go, we
gotta get out here, go.

(bell rings)

(melancholy music)

- Hey Erica, you haven't
been responding to my texts.

You okay?

- Excuse me everyone.

I regret to inform you

that this past weekend we
lost a student of ours.

Jordan Oliver died this weekend.

Apparently there was a storm
and it sank their boat.

(somber music)

(sobbing)

Thank you, all of
you for being here.

Jordan was taken
from us way too soon.

Intelligent, kind.

(sobbing)

He was one of the best students

I ever had the
honor of teaching.

He will be missed.

Now one of our
students, Ryder Jensen,

would like to say a few
words on his behalf.

Ryder.

- Hello everybody.

I'm Ryder Jensen.

As most of you know,

Jordan loved poetry.

And um, he was on the
bravest people I've ever met.

This is Lord Alfred
Tennyson's Ulysses.

"Tho' much is taken, much abides

"and tho' we are not now

"the strength which in old
days moved earth and heaven.

"That which we are, we are.

"One equal temper
of heroic hearts,

"Made weak by time and
fate, but strong in will

"to strive, to seek, to
find, and not to yield."

Jordan never backed
down from a challenge.

He faced it head on, whether
it was baseball or school,

he faced it.

He never backed away
from his destiny

and we can all honor Jordan
by facing our destiny.

By striving, to seek, to
find and not to yield.

No matter how scary it may be,

we all need to stay
strong for Jordan

cause that's how he
would have wanted it.

(melancholy music)

- I really do wish you the best.

You deserve somebody great.

- I'm sorry sweetheart,
it'll be all right.

Honey, I'm going to
go and get the car.

- Erica are you okay?

- I can't believe he's gone.

- I know, me neither.

(Church bell rings)

It's okay Erica, it's okay.

(sobbing)

It's gonna be okay.

- I'm sorry that I've
been so distant recently.

It's just really overwhelming.

Greg cheating on me and,

and then this.

- You can't think
like that, okay.

- Apparently he was cheating
on me with others too.

That's what you get when
your girlfriends a virgin.

- I'm sorry, I didn't.

I didn't know.

- It's okay.

I'm fine.

We were very different.

You know, I guess I
was just blind to it.

Out of fear of being alone.

- I don't really think
he ever knew what he had.

- On a better note, I
got accepted into Texas.

- That's so, so great.

- With one
stipulation of course.

Successfully completing
a summer school,

which happens to start
right after graduation.

- Oh.

I mean, everything's
gonna work out.

I know it will,
you always make it.

- Well have fun at prom.

You finally got Siobhan.

- Hey.

- What do you want?

- Not gonna try
to kill me are ya?

- After what you did to
Erica, I probably should.

- Parents home?

- Nope.

That's why I got a beer.

- Can I have one?

- Sure, you take what
you want anyways.

- Look, I'm sorry, I screwed up.

- I know.

- Erica doesn't deserve me.

She's better off
without me anyway.

I lost her but, I don't
wanna lose you bro.

Can you forgive me?

- Yeah I can.

- All right.

- What if this is
as good as it gets?

These are the best
times of our lives.

- Man if in 20 years I look back

and these are the
best years of my life,

it'd be pretty sad.

- But at least you'll have that.

I mean what about Jordan,

he had everything going for him.

And now he's dead.

- It sucks what
happened to Jordan man.

Life is unfair.

Hey, here's to Jordan.

- Jordan.

(upbeat rock music)

- Look at you, so handsome.

Don't forget the cressage,
you know how to put it on?

- Yes mom.

Mom, I'm good.

Thank you.

- Well look at you Mr. GQ.

- I still can't believe you're
taking Siobhan Alexander.

- You better be
careful with my car.

- Thanks dad.

* Your heart is taken

* Your heart is taken

* Your heart is taken

* Your heart is taken

* Your heart is taken

* Your heart is taken

- Hey, what's up man?

- What's going on man?

- Hey.
- Hey.

Where's dream girl, she
didn't ditch you did she?

- No, no, no, she's,
she's in the restroom.

- Oh all right well.

All right man, we'll see
you on the dance floor.

- All right guys have fun.

- Bye.

- All right.
- You okay?

- I'm fine, come on,
where's the alcohol?

- Siobhan, Siobhan, calm down,

Okay, let's go sit down.

- No, I wanna dance.

- Siobhan, you're gonna
get us kicked out of here.

- Leave me alone Ryder.

Gosh this is a hot mess,
I'm calling my mom.

- Siobhan stop.

- I don't wanna be
someone's crush.

You think you know
me but you don't.

- I know you pretty well.

- You don't know me.

- Siobhan stop.

I love you.

- You don't love me Ryder.

I treat you like shit and
you're still nice to me.

- That's cause I
love you though.

- No, the more you look at this,

the more you'll realize that
you don't truly love me.

You just want me.

I just wish I felt the
same way about you.

But, I can't feel
something that isn't there.

You're going to make
someone very happy someday.

Goodbye Ryder.

(melancholy dance music)

* There is a smile
that's on your face *

* It's like the dreams
I always chased *

* I guess for us that's
the way it goes *

* But in my heart I
think we're right *

- Hey.

- Wow Erica, you look,
you look amazing.

- Thanks.

My mom thought I'd
regret it if I didn't go.

- I'm sorry.

- It's okay, I'm fine.

It's over with.

Where's Siobhan?

- She ditched.

- Should have known.

- Yeah, guess I owe
you that $20 after all.

- I am so glad to be
done with this scene.

I don't even know why I came.

I, uh, think I'm gonna go.

- Wait Erica,
don't, don't leave.

I mean,

I would like to dance with
the most badass chick here

If she doesn't mind?

- Sure.

(cheerful rock music)

Ryder, um.

I just want you know that I've,

I've always liked you.

But um, you're still
in love with Siobhan

and that's, that's totally cool.

Just do me a favor and
don't call me anymore.

I can deal with not being Greg,

but I'd wanna be with you.

And if you don't want that,

I, um, I think it's just best
if we don't talk anymore.

- No Erica wait.

- No.

Just, respect my feelings Ryder.

Please.

(somber music)

- Oh shit.

(siren blares)

- Good evening sir.

How you feeling?

- Good.

- I'm placing you under
arrest for suspicion of DWI.

(cell door closes)

- [Announcer] Ryder
Jensen, you've posted bail.

(TV show sounds)

- I'm going round to Greg's.

- Are you fricking out
of your mind Ryder.

- Greg's my friend.

Okay, I've known him
since elementary school,

I probably won't
even see him again.

- What were you thinking Ryder?

- I messed up, okay dad.

- I'll say you did.

- Honey, honey
this isn't helping.

- Boy this is my house

and as long as you
live under my roof,

you're gonna follow my rules.

Do you understand?

- Then I'm out of here.

- Ryder, no.

Ryder get back here.

Stop!

What is wrong with you?

You think this is
some kind of game?

When are you going
to wise up son,

you can't go around thinking

just one big party after
another, every fricking night.

You got your whole
future ahead of you son.

Don't go throwing it away.

- Would you stop saying that?

I feel like I'll never
measure up to you.

Like I'll never be good enough.

You just yell at me and
tell me to apply myself.

You expect me to
randomly get it?

Dad, look,

nothing goes my way.

Okay, I have the worst luck.

I loved a girl that
doesn't love me back.

And now I realize too late

that the girl who's always
been there for me, loves me.

And you know what?

She's the one.

And she wants nothing
to do with me.

I get so confused dad.

What if I don't
get into college?

What am I supposed to do then?

I don't know what my future is.

I'm scared dad, I'm just scared.

- I'm sorry son.

I never meant to
hurt you in any way.

I've been doing my best
just trying to teach you

and trying to show
you how to do things,

and what to do to
prepare you to be a man.

I haven't had
anybody to teach me.

My dad was never
around, you know that.

I'm doing the best I can.

I just want the best for you

and I want the best
for your sister.

I want you to have more,
and better than I've had.

And more than I've been
able to provide for you.

I love you son
with all my heart.

Please forgive me
if I hurt you son.

I love you son.

I love you Ryder.

- I love you too dad.

- Everything will be
okay son, I promise you.

Everything will be okay Ryder.

Let's get in the house before
your momma has a heart attack.

(upbeat music)

- Jordan would be proud.

- Slackers!

This is a madhouse and
it's run by slackers!

What am I?

The prince of darkness?

I don't deserve this.

God I gotta retire.

Why don't they just rename me,

make me Principal Litterbox,

everybody craps on me anyway.

- Check it out Ryder,

they made a memorial page
for Jordan in the yearbook.

- Oh Jordan.

God I miss him.

- Hey let's take a photo huh?

- Yeah.

- Hey, Miss Jensen would you
take a photo for us please?

Thank you.

- [Ryder's Mom] One more.

- I'm so proud.

- Thanks.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you so much.
- And you sweetheart.

I love you.

- I love you too,
see you in the car.

- Congratulations son.

- Thanks dad.
- Congratulations darling.

Greg, good luck to you.

- Thank you Mr. Jensen.

- Congratulations guys.

- Thanks.
- Congratulations.

- Well I gotta go, so
I'll see you guys later.

- All righty.

- Bye Allison.

- Well, we had a good run.

- We had one hell of a year man.

- Ryder man, I see
you in the future

living large having finally
found your soul girl.

You'll have five kids,
one of them named Greg.

- Yeah okay.

- And they all dance to
whenever music is present.

- Seems about right.

- Hey don't forget I'm having
a party tomorrow night.

- Okay.

- See you around man.

- Love you dude.
- Love you bro.

- Congratulations young man.

- Thank you.

- All right.

- I'll see you in the car.
- Yes.

- Hey Ryder.
- Hey.

- I'm sorry about all the
shit that went down this year.

- I'm not gonna
lie, it did hurt,

but I'm okay.

I know I deserve to be loved

and I hope you find
love one day too.

- Thank you.

- Well, good luck
to you Siobhan.

- I will never forget what
you did for me that night.

You saved my life
and like I said,

you are gonna make someone
very happy someday.

Look, I've gotta run.

Take care Ryder.

- Okay bye.

Hey Siobhan wait.

- Yeah.

- What do you think
about Erica Severson?

- [Ryder's Dad] Hey
son, you all right?

- Yeah.

- Nobody ever said
that life is easy.

Here, you got some mail.

Love you.

- [Erica Voiceover] Hey Ryder.

First off you're
probably wondering

why I wrote you a letter
instead of texting you.

Well, I accidentally deleted
your number from my phone.

Okay. Actually, I
intentionally deleted it.

Kind of regret that.

Anyway, I hope this
letter finds you well.

I've settled into the
routine of summer school

and I really like
the independence.

The campus is beautiful

and there is so much
to do in Austin.

Thank you again for
that dance at prom.

I will always
cherish that moment.

I still remember
that night we kissed.

I wish I knew the
truth about Greg then.

Perhaps things could
have been different.

Sometimes the person
you want most,

is the person you are
better of without.

You don't put up
with their disrespect

because you love them,

you put up with it because
you don't love yourself

enough to know you
deserve better.

Ryder, you're a good
person with a big heart.

Don't let anyone
tell you otherwise.

Your friend always, Erica.

(uplifting music)

- [Ryder Voiceover] Dear Erica.

I'm glad to hear
you're doing great.

You'll do awesome
cause you're so smart.

This past month I've
learned a lot about myself.

I've had time to
reflect on everything

that happened this past year.

Sometimes we just fall in
love with the wrong person.

It just happens.

I don't hate Siobhan.

I'm actually thankful
for the experience.

Plus she had really
great taste in music,

I'll have to share it with you.

I'm going to community
college nights

to get my grades up.

I've been reading a lot lately.

Jack Kerouac's, On The Road,

reminds me about our talk
of traveling the world

that night we kissed.

A quote from Kerouac's novel
Big Sur has stuck with me.

The story ends on a surprisingly
optimistic high note

when he writes

"something good will come
out of all things yet,

"and it'll be golden and
eternal just like that."

I believe this.

Nobody knows what the
future has in store

and that's what's exciting.

Years from now, these times
will only be tattered memories,

so I'm gonna enjoy the present.

Anyway thanks for thinking of me

and I hope to see you soon.

Take care, Ryder.

a senior sick day?

that's what it is.

- That's what's
really happening.

- Okay, I offered her
$100 for those shades,

she still won't take it.

- I mean dude,

Who knows you may
even make a movie

about our high school years.

- Groovy man.

- You saved my life

and like I said, you are
going to make (laughing).

I'm sorry, there's
a fly on his eye.

- [Camera Operator]
Just pick it up.

We don't have to
do the whole thing.

- So we are in class and Ryder
just has to chase after me

super awkward and we haven't
seen each other in a long time.

There's a lot of tension
and uncomfortableness,

so yeah, that's what's going on.

- [Director] Action.

- [Ryder] Hey Siobhan.

- Um, about to cause some
trouble with Principal Hagerson.

- When I'm about mid-way?

- [Director] Right here

Siobhan ditched class,

decided to follow her, cause
she's the love of my life.

- I'm feeling a little
crazy right now.

But Ryder's hopping
in my sweet ride.

- I think she was taking
to the zoo, or the museum.

As you can see here, Ford.

Yeah I know, I love the cast.

Like we were talking
about for the past week

that like everyone's so
genuine and loving and caring

and I'm just happy
that I met you guys.

for three years together,

because of the camaraderie.

The chemistry is just there.

- Having a great time.

It's awesome blossom dude.

- She's such an amazing
person, so like our first--

- We love each other in a way.

- Our first take,
on our first day,

she was like "oh my
gosh, you're so serious."

I was like "I'm sorry,
I don't really mean it.

"I don't know what I was doing."

- Everyone's fantastic yeah.

We all get along really great

and we all just connect
on another level.

So, my hopes behind the
camera are right there.

that I think it shows on
screen really, really great.

I love it.
