[twinkling music]

- Okay. "Today we graduates take pride

"in reaching the peak of the high school mountain,

as we prepare to take a flying leap into the void."

- A flying leap? You might want to add a parachute.

- Well, that's the thing about the future, Liz. You just jump! Into mid-air!

- Future sounds scary.

Almost as scary as Mom having a baby.

- But you love animals, Liz,

and babies are like cute little bunnies or squirrels.

- Cute enough to convince you to stay home for university

instead of taking that scholarship to Queen's?

- Liz! - I don't want you to leave home!

- Me neither. But I still haven't decided.

Right now, I'm just trying to finish this speech. Okay, how 'bout this?

"We leap into the future, ready to soar, hoping we won't fly into the sun."

- Hm? - "Or fall into the sea."

- Uh, if that's your speech, I may blow off graduation altogether.

- Oh, please do! Start your year in Europe tomorrow.

Or now!

- Valedictorian has a temper!

- Casey, I can't "sweep."

I'm "ascared" of the dark.

Can I "sweep wiff" you? - Marti, why are you talking baby talk?

- 'Cause I'm the "wittle" baby of this house!

- Oh, okay. Um, Marti, I'm just trying to finish my speech tonight,

so maybe you could "sweep wiff Wizzie?"

- Wiff Wizzie? - O... kay.

- Come on, Marti. Let's get ready for bed.

- ♪ Used to be my mother and my sister and me ♪

♪ A happy little family and all right with me ♪

♪ But Mom got married, and everything changed ♪

♪ Some things were lost and others were gained ♪

♪ A new school, a new house ♪

♪ So many changes it makes my head spin ♪

♪ Now I've got a brother who gets under my skin ♪

♪ This is life with Derek ♪

♪ This is life with Derek ♪

♪ This is life with Lizzie ♪

♪ Edwin, George and Nora, Marti and Casey ♪

♪ Living life with Derek ♪

♪ Living life with Derek ♪

- Change is thrilling!

When good things end, better things begin!

Especially life changes so huge

they shake the very core of your being.

But it's all good!

- Whoa! Ow!

[Moaning] Ow!

I'm really gonna miss these moments, bro.

- Yeah, well don't cry yet, Ed. I'm here all summer.

If you think you're getting my room when I'm gone, think again.

- Please, Derek? This room is all I have to remember you by.

- I appreciate the fake sentiment, but, uh, no sale.

And don't bother asking Dad

'cause ever since Western put me on the wait list for university,

I've got him eating out of the palm of my hand.

Now get out. - Look, Derek...

it's actually not why I'm here. - You're still here?

- I start high school in the fall,

and I'm not ashamed to admit it, but I'm a little nervous.

- You should be nervous. And ashamed.

- I'm serious, bro! You're a legend at school.

How could I ever live up to your name?

- Oh, you won't. But you should make a name for yourself.

My advice? The sooner the better.

- The sooner the better. I'll really take that to heart.

'Kay. Dad.

- Edwin. Derek. - Dad.

Somethin' on your mind?

- A lot actually. - Freaking out about having another kid?

- Yeah, a little. I'm more concerned about where we're going to put it.

- Baby can't have my room. I already promised it to Edwin.

- Really? - No.

[Dramatic music]

- Hey! - Your attention, please.

- Hey, bud! - Derek Venturi, please come to the principal's office.

[Audio feedback] - Huh?

- Ah, Mr. Venturi! Take your seat.

- Hey, Principal Lassiter, please.

Mr. Venturi is my father.

- Ah... Well, I will, uh, miss that, uh, sharp wit.

But there is nothing

funny about the graduation ceremony.

No stunts. No pranks. No high jinx.

- Principal Lassiter, I assure you,

pranking hasn't crossed my mind... until now.

- Well, I'm glad we've had this little chatski.

Uh, wh- what did you mean, "until now?"

- Oh, nothing.

- As we stride...

with confidence into the sunset, we wave farewell...

to Thompson High. - Hm, how about something less formal?

Like, "Peace out."

- Truman, as the valedictorian's boyfriend, you have to take my speech seriously.

- Wow! Valedictorian's boyfriend.

You know, you dream of this moment, but when it happens...

- Truman... - Casey, you know I'm psyched for you.

I just can't believe high school is pretty much over.

- Oh...

Whoa! - Are you okay?

- It's just, so much is changing so fast.

I mean, next year you'll be in Halifax.

Emily will be in Toronto. Who knows where I'll be!

It's like we're all passengers on this sinking ship

called the future. [Foghorn]

- That's not in your speech, is it? - Not anymore.

- So what did Lassiter want? - Ah, he wanted me to autograph his yearbook.

And he was wondering if I was planning any pranks for the grad ceremony.

- Dying to know, buddy. - Yeah, did you sign his yearbook or not?

- About the pranks! - Yeah, that too!

- Uh, Sam, Ralph,

I hate to say it, but I'm not planning any pranks.

- Derek, did you say pranks?

You better not be planning any for graduation, okay?

Because this is Casey's big moment. - It's Derek's big moment too!

- Yeah, Emily, the whole school is expecting a prank, like, even Lassiter.

- I know my new boyfriend, Derek, would never do anything to upset my best friend Casey.

'Cause that would really upset his new girlfriend, Emily.

- Don't worry, Emily. I'm not going to be pranking.

- Dude you totally blinked! - Which means you're totally pranking!

- Derek how could you blink? - I...

I had to! Dry eyes!

- Casey, your speech can't be that bad. - It's not bad. It's dreadful!

I'm supposed to be saying all this inspiring stuff about the future,

but everything I'm saying sounds so... lame.

- Could the problem have anything to do with the subject matter?

- The future? I don't have a problem with the future,

just 'cause everything's changing.

- Casey, have some water. There you go.

Just relax.

- Okay, maybe I'm a little nervous about the future.

- Last week you were bouncing off walls talking about taking this scholarship to Queen's.

- I know, but now I'm thinking I might not take it. - What?!

Th- that's cool. That's totally cool.

- Queen's is in Kingston! If I go to Western, I can live at home with my family.

And I love my family, with one exception, but he's going to Europe.

And Mom's having a baby and Marti's acting like a baby

and Lizzie needs me, so how can I leave them?

- Casey, I know you're not fond of change,

but you always pull through it and you flourish.

And, I know you always will.

- Paul, why are you talking to me like this is our last appointment?

- 'Cause, Casey, it is.

It's been a privilege talking to you these past 3 years.

And just so you know...

Voila! I do have legs. Ha-ha!

Just a joke, 'cause I'm always sitting.

Look, uh...

why don't you, uh, get outta here before we all get choked up, okay?

It's just...

- Thank you, Paul.

- [Whispering]: Yeah.

Hm... [Door closing shut]

- Whoa!

- Derek? - Oh, uh, Dad!

Back so soon? - I've been thinking about your future, Derek.

- Oh, great. Lemme know how it turns out.

- Look, look, I know you're a bit bummed about

not hearing back from Queen's,

but I was thrilled you got on the wait list at Western.

- And I'm thrilled that you're thrilled, but I'm more thrilled about Europe.

- I know, I know, I know. I'm just...

I'm just concerned that

if you leave school, you'll never go back.

And you'd really love university, Derek!

I mean, it was 4 of the best years of my life!

- Then you should go back. You're never too old.

- Or we could pull out all the stops

and try and get you off the wait list and into school this fall.

- I'm sorry Dad, but I've made my plan and I'm stickin' to it.

Now if you'll excuse me? I have more immediate plans.

- Oh, yeah.

You mean the prank you're planning for the grad ceremony? [Chuckling]

Listen, just promise me that

you'll wait 'til after Casey delivers her speech, all right?

- I mean a nap.

- Gotcha. [George chuckling again]

Derek?

[Techno music sounding from another room]

- Der-rek! Turn it down!

[Turning off the music] - Do you mind? I'm trying to finish my speech!

- Do you mind? I'm trying to finish my thought! - Planning your pathetic prank?

- For the last time, I'm not pranking! In fact, I've decided not to go to graduation.

- Really? That's the best grad present ever!

[Casey laughing]

[Brakes screeching]

How could you not go to your own high school graduation?

- Because I'm done with high school.

My future starts now.

- Oh, your future goofing off to Europe?

- Actually, I have options.

- Oh, of course you do. Like whether to goof off in Spain or Portugal.

- No, I just found out I got into university.

- You're going to university?

- I'm deferring, because I want to see the world.

You, on the other hand,

don't have the guts to make a decision.

- Oh yeah? You want a decision? I'll make a decision!

I'm turning down the scholarship and going to Western

here in London because my family needs me and I need them!

- You're not staying home for the family.

You're staying home because you're scared! You have "futuritis."

- I do not have futuritis!

And that's not even a word! - So?

[Brakes screeching]

- I do have futuritis!

And that's why my speech reeks because I don't believe a word I'm staying!

- I can't believe you just did that the night before the ceremony.

- Pretty gutsy, huh?

[Casey screaming in panic]

- That sounds about right. [Screaming again]

- Twenty-minute warning, people!

Grad ceremony express leaves in 20 minutes! - Dad!

Can I go to school early? - Now, there's a question you don't hear often.

- I just want to spend some time at my soon-to-be high school

and, uh, get used to my surroundings.

You know, check out the lockers, uh, the flush pressure in the bathrooms.

- That sounds... peculiar, but okay.

Is Derek gonna drive you?

- You didn't hear? - Hear what? - He's not coming to graduation.

[Rattling in George's head] - Derek! You are...

not in here.

Do you believe Derek? - What did he do now, George?

- He's not going to graduation!

And the coward took off before I could force him to go!

- The nerve! - "Wizzie!" We're "weady!"

- Marti, there aren't enough seatbelts in the car for your bear.

- Well I'm not "weaving wiffout" him and you can't make me!

[Marti crying] - Marti, please don't fake cry.

- I'm not faking! [Crying again]

- Okay, how 'bout you leave the bear here and hang with me at the ceremony?

- Okay, "Wizzie!"

- One crisis averted! [George laughing]

- Yeah, but get ready for a crisis of 'Casey' proportions. - Oh!

- She had this loud fight with Derek last night and then ripped up her speech.

- [Cheerfully]: Good morning.

- Casey, you're not in crisis?

- That's right. All thanks to my new-and-improved speech, featuring quotes

from Martin Luther King, Sir John A. Macdonald, Charles Darwin and Gandhi.

- Sounds... awesome.

- Thanks! You know, I really think Derek did me a favor

by inspiring me to trash my old speech.

- Yeah, yeah. That's our Derek.

He's always doing people favors.

Nora, you ready?

- I don't know!

My maternity clothes are hideous and my dresses are too tight in the middle

so I thought I would wear this muumuu.

[Cows mooing] - Well, you look very, um...

What's the word I'm looking for, Lizzie?

- Comfortable. - Yeah!

- Muumuu, Mom? [Cows mooing]

- I'm changing, George.

[Sighing] - We were doing so well.

- Don't blame yourself, George.

- How much longer do we wait for Derek?

It's so drafty in here.

- Ralph you're supposed to wear pants with your gown. - What about underwear?

- Hey, boys! What's shakin'? - Where's Derek?

- Derek's not coming and he left the pranking to me.

And as I cross the threshold into your hallowed halls I would just like to say--

- Wait, Derek's not coming? - How could he leave us hanging like this?

- Well, he said it was time for me to make a name for myself, so here I am.

Guys, where're you goin'?

[Circus music]

- I have never been more scared in my entire life!

- Casey, it's okay, okay?

Your speech is very good. You're very relaxed.

Picture yourself floating at sea. [Sound of waves and seagulls]

- Whoosh!

Whrrrshh! - Truman? What're you doing?

- Uh, relaxing you?

- Well, no offense, but your relaxing technique is making me want to rip your face off.

- Casey, it's gonna be okay. [Audio feedback]

- And now it gives me great pleasure to introduce

Sir John Sparrow Thompson High's class valedictorian,

Casey McDonald. [Applause]

- I can't feel my legs. - Come on, Casey!

- Get up there! [Applause]

- Sorry, just waiting for you all to stop spinning.

[A few laughs] When thinking of the future,

I think of... um....

inventor Alexander Graham Bell, who said,

"When one door closes another door opens;

"but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see

the ones which have opened for us."

So, basically, don't let the door hit you on the way out!

[Casey giggling nervously, crowd whispering comments and microphone giving feedback]

Um, ah, to paraphrase Ghandi,

"Whatever you do will be insignificant,

but it is very important that you do it."

What was Gandhi thinking? [Casey giggling nervously, crowd whispering comments]

Oh, what was I thinking?

Look, I know I'm supposed to give

this inspiring speech

about how excited I am for the future,

but the truth is, I'm scared.

I'm scared to leave high school.

I'm scared to say good-bye to my friends.

I'm scared for things to change because I'm scared of...

falling off a cliff without a parachute.

I'm guessing some of my fellow graduates are feeling the same way?

See, we make all these plans and we hope we're doing the right thing,

but the truth is, we have no idea.

We could be making a huge mistake!

But maybe it's better to do something

and be wrong about it, than to do nothing and regret it.

So, graduates of Thompson High,

it's time for us to embrace our fears,

to stand up, to do something,

even if you risk making a total fool of yourself!

- Yeah, Casey! [Crowd cheering]

- Go, Case! - Yeah, Casey!

[Evil laugh]

[Mexican music]

- Yo!

- Who is that masked man?

- I... am...

Edwin Venturi! - There's another one?

- And I will see you all in September!

Venturi away!

- Come back here! - 'Scuse me! Comin' through.

Thank you, boys! - No!

Gotcha!

Whoa!

- Principal Lassiter.

We haven't been formally introduced.

- Oh, I think we'll have lots of time to get to know each other.

You can take a seat in Derek's chair, Edwin.

Or should I call you Derek Junior?

- That's the coolest thing anyone's ever called me!

- Eleven seconds late.

Not bad for a rookie.

- Emily Davis. [Cheering] - Thank you.

- Congratulations. Truman French.

Congratulations, Truman. Casey MacDonald...

- Yeah! - That's my girl! - Go Casey!

- Stavros 'Ralph' Papadopolous.

- Yes! I made it! - Yeah, we're all surprised.

Samuel Richards. - Thanks.

I'm outta here! [Crowd cheering]

- And, uh, last but, uh, certainly not least...

[Rock music] - Derek Venturi!

[Casey gasping]

[Crowd gasping] - What the?

- Derek.

- [Both]: Der-rek! Der-rek! Der-rek!

[All chanting Derek's name]

- My fellow graduates, we did it!

So let's make some noise! [Crowd cheering]

- Everybody!

I have an announcement.

I've been suspended from high school before I started!

- Hey, a legend before his time!

You are worthy of the Venturi name.

- Yeah, way to go, Ed!

[Nora clearing her throat]

You're grounded. - Hm?

- I have an announcement, too! - You're not talking baby talk anymore, Marti.

- Who told? - Why'd you stop, Smarti?

- 'Cause my big sister told me to.

- I did? - I think she's talking about me.

- Oh, okay.

Well, then, Liz,

do you mind if your big sister does something she needs to?

- Go for it, sis. - Okay, then...

I have an announcement. I--

- Don't care, because I have huge news.

- Ah, please! My news is way huger.

- Ah, I don't think so, 'cause I got this letter and--

- [Both]: I'm going to Queen's! What?

- You're taking the scholarship? - You got into Queen's?

- Yeah, late acceptance! - We're going to the same university?

[George laughing] - Way to go, Smerek! - I am so proud of you, bro.

- Ha-ha! I am over the moon! - Oh, I am so thrilled for you, but I'm gonna miss you so much.

- Ah! - Yeah, me too.

- MacDonalds and Venturis... Switch!

[Laughter] - Okay! Enough hugging!

- Group hug! [Laughter]

- Hey, what are you doing up so late?

- Picking courses for next year. There are so many amazing classes.

- I know. Women's Literature, Feminist Theory...

- Derek, you're only taking those to meet girls.

- Uh, yeah, but maybe I should just take

the classes you're taking and then take all your notes.

- Forget it! And do me a favor.

When you see me in the quad, pretend you don't know me.

- Ha! Are you kidding? We are gonna be best buds.

'Cause then you can introduce me to all your sorority sisters.

- Derek, you are the most annoying brother-- - Step-brother.

- Same difference.

- Yeah, you're right.

Hey, maybe we can live in the same residence?

- I'm living in an all-girls residence.

- I know. - Oh yeah?

Well, I can't wait to go to all of your hockey games

and embarrass you in front of all of your friends.

- Uh, uh... fine! Now, I won't take your classes

if you stay away from my hockey games.

- No deal. There might be some cute hockey hunks, or some frat boys.

- Oh no! You are not dating my fraternity brothers!
