Throughout humankind,
man has celebrated

the culmination
of a long, harrowing journey

by planting a flag, to say
you climbed that Mountain,

achieved the unachievable, made
it through another school year.

It's summer!

And you bought a tiki torch.
Yep.

This is gonna transform
our backyard

into an island paradise.
Well, if we're going for paradise, we're probably

gonna want to fish that
dead possum out of the pool.

We made it, Mike.

Only four days
till the end of school.

After all those forms
and field trips and homework

and Ms. Rinsky...

We deserve this tiki torch.

It is time
to get our summer on! Ooh!

Not so fast.

Summer's not officially on
till my graduation on Friday,

when you watch me accept
my special award,

presented by the principal
in front of everyone. Aah!

Oh, honey.

Well, you certainly earned it.

Boy, did she earn it.
Sue'd set her sights

on the perfect attendance award
years ago,

and nothing was gonna make her
miss a day of school.

Here.

I did it. I put myself
and countless others at risk,

but it was worth it!

We're very proud.

Hi, Ms. Jacobs.
I wanted to talk to you about--

Are you a new student?
No. I'm Sue. Sue Heck.

I bring the lunch money report
in to you every morning

from the main office.
I say, "hi, Ms. Jacobs.

Everything's here," and then
I give you a little wave.

Really? Huh.

So anyway,
I wanted to talk to you

about my perfect attendance award.
Oh, honey, I'm sorry, but no one's getting

that perfect attendance award
this year. Nobody earned it.

Yes, somebody earned it.
I earned it.

My attendance was perfect.

Oh, I see the problem.

You were absent
on October 13th.

You're not gonna get
anything at the ceremony,

but you should still
congratulate yourself.

I spend my whole life
congratulating myself.

I want other people
to congratulate me.

Sorry. Next.

No one else is here.

I know. Nice meeting you.

Paradise, huh?

Wow, Brick.
Can you believe it?

Only a couple more days
till you're a fourth grader.

Yeah, I'm not sure
that's gonna happen.

What?

Apparently, I missed
some sort of journal assignment,

and if I don't turn it in,

I'm not necessarily
moving up to fourth grade.

Damn it, Brick!
How does this keep happening?

You're the smartest kid I know,
and every year we got to wonder

whether you're gonna
make it to the next grade!

I know it's frustrating. I kept
thinking I was gonna do it,

but then I just didn't.
I blame myself partly.

I blame yourself all-of-ly.
Now you're gonna go, and you're

gonna find out what's required,
and you're gonna get it done.

We are not spending another year
with Ms. Rinsky!

I hope you know

you have sent me to
the dumbest school in the world!

Seemed like a good fit.

So I didn't do
my community service--

You know, like, helping
poor people or whatever--

And if I don't get
my 30 hours done by Friday,

they're saying I'll flunk
civics, and we'll have to pay

for some stupid class I have to take in the summer!
And you're just telling us now?

Why didn't you do
the assignment?

Because...
It shouldn't be an assignment!

They're forcing me
to help people against my will!

I don't know. Doesn't that seem
like communism or something?

Did I use that right?
As much as I'd love to join in on

your war on community service,
you're doing it.

Mom!

Oh, come on!

The school thinks
I was absent October 13th.

They said I didn't earn
the perfect attendance award.

We have to find documentation.
We have to prove I was there!

Here you go. Oh...

Eh, don't bother.
We're a long way from summer.

You know the old saying--

"Never buy a tiki torch
before its time."

That isn't really a saying,
but trust me, don't do it.

Oh, um, Ms. Rinsky,
quick question.

About the assignment I'm
scheduled to hand in on Friday--

You didn't do it.
Oh, no, I did it.

I just want to double-check
that I did it correctly.

So, uh, just to confirm,
on the... monthly journal?

Daily.

Yes, daily-- Uh, that's what
I meant--journal that I did,

I assume by "daily,"

you meant I was supposed
to write in it every day?

That's right. Every day.

'Cause that's exactly
what I did.

Now remind your mommy
that it's due on Friday,

and when I say Friday,
I mean Friday.

No need.
We are totally on top of it.

We're doomed.

Doomed.

Don't you say that.

We got three days to tiki torch,
and you are getting it done.

But I can only remember

the days I wasn't
in the me of a book.

What did I do on September 8th?

That was the first day of
school, and after school, we...

I don't know.
You know,

maybe it would be easier
if we start with holidays.

Thanksgiving-- There was turkey,
and... someone was over.

Wait. Did we go to Janet's?
No. Yes?

Wow. I should be able
to remember this.

What was wrong with me?

I mean, I used to have
a great memory, but lately...

I know I came in here
for something.

Hello?

Wait. Sorry.
Who did I just call?

Mike, this is
really important--

Hang on a sec.

Okay, what?

Thanks.
Now I don't remember.

What were we talking about
again?

How you don't
remember anything.

Right.

God! I've been looking
at pamphlets for a whole hour.

That should count as
one of my hours right there.

29 more to go. Whoo!

Stop screwing around
and pick something.

Tons of good options here.
Helping out at a nursing home.

No.

Planting trees.
No!

Nothing sad, nothing hard,
nothing gross.

How about washing--

Unless that ends in "hot chicks"
that's a definite "no."

Hey, I could help people
who can't play video games,

like, if they don't have thumbs or something. Oh.
Hey, look at that. They have that right here.

Really?

No, not really, you idiot.
Come on.

You got 20 waking hours to do
30 hours of community service.

I'm picking for you.

Here. "Meals that heal"
and "time with tots." Done.

Or I could just stay in my room
and jam and come up

with an awesome song that'll
make the whole world happy.

The world's been through enough.
Make the call.

What are you doing up?

What are you doing up?

I can't sleep.

Not allowed to sleep.

Hey, isn't that mom's frosting?

I need it a lot more
than she does right now.

So how are you doing?

I'm up to December,

and I'm realizing from
the things that I'm remembering,

that we spend an awful lot
of time watching tv.

Wait a minute.
You did October?

Do you have any idea
what happened on October 13th?

Let me check.
"Went to library.

"Someone checked out
'the pelican brief'

"and never returned it.
I wonder if it was me.

"Axl called Sue a big tomato
'cause of her dorky red shirt."

Oh, my God. You remember
I was wearing red?

Like I said, on days without
books, my recall is very good.

If I was wearing red, it means
I went to the orthodontist,

'cause I'm a gum-bleeder
and red hides the gum blood.

So I must have been
late to school,

and they must have gotten mixed
up and marked me as absent!

All I need is a note from
the orthodontist, and I'm in!

Oh, hon, this just says
that you went to the orthodontist.

That doesn't mean that
you came to school after.

But I did.
As a matter of fact,

after I get my braces tightened,
my teeth always hurt,

so I remember going to the nurse
to get an ibuprofin.

Well, I guess if you could
get the nurse to vouch for the--

Do you remember
on February 16th,

you took Arlo and me

to get ice cream,
but you forgot your wallet?

Who was that friend
who lent you the money?

I don't know, Brick.
I don't remember any of it.

I'm standing here with
a ball of twine in my hand,

and I don't even know why.

Look, Rinsky's not gonna
read every page,

so you just need to start making stuff up.
I don't want to lie.

You think the kids
in your class are stupid now?

Wait till you're in a class with
kids a year younger than you.

"Today I went skydiving."

Yeah.

Hey, nurse Fahler.

Hi. Are you a new student?

No. I'm Sue. Sue Heck? I need to
prove I was here October 13th.

I was in a red shirt
'cause my gums bleed,

and Allison Scott
me in at the same time--

Oh, I love Allison Scott.
She's a spark plug, isn't she?

Yeah, she is. So anyway--

You know it's her birthday
next week?

We're not that close. So anyway,
she had really bad cramps,

so you asked if I could
get her purse for her

from the band room.
Well, I remember Allison getting the purse,

but for the life of me,
I can't remember how.

I just told you how. I brought
it from the band room!

Band teacher!

Axl? How great is this?
I got the "time with tots" kids

putting meals together
for the hungry shut-ins.

I'm racking up
double hours here. I mean...

Hey, tito!
Keep your head in the game.

You forgot to put
an orange in that one.

All right, that's it.

I'm shutting this sweatshop down.
But I can't pack these boxes myself.

And what about the tots?
I'm their role model.

Well, then, life dealt 'em
a bad hand again.

Now start reading
to these boys.

And then when you're done, you
can pack boxes yourself, alone.

God!
This is so unfair!

Ugh! You kids are lucky
you don't have dads.

Mr. Stevenson.

I'm sorry, and you are...

Sue. Sue Heck.

And what do you play?
I don't play anything.

I'm the future perfect
attendance award recipient.

But only if you can prove
I was here on October 13th.

See, I went to the orthodonist
and I'm a gum-bleeder,

so I went to the school nurse,
and then Allison Scott came in--

Oh! Allison Scott!
Great girl.

Yeah, she's awesome. Anyway,
so she left band practice,

so I had to come in
and get her purse.

Now that you say it,

I do remember someone
disrupting our practice.

We were getting ready
for our fall concert...

That's right,
and you were taping it.

You were taping your rehearsal!

Mr. Stevenson, please,
tell me you have that tape!

Stop! I have evidence!
I have a tape!

Excuse me. I'm here
to get Allison Scott's purse.

Oh, sorry. Just squeezing by.

Excuse me.

Ooh, ooh, excuse me. Sorry.
Pardon me.

You guys sound really good!

See? See? I was here.

October 13, 2010.

Sue Heck was in the house!

Uh, congratulations?

Okay. What are we up to?

April.

April. Okay, good, here.

I'll do the 1st,
you do the 2nd, you do the 3rd.

Okay...
April, April, April,

April in Paris, April...

Showers.

Good. "It rained today.
Splashed in puddles. What fun."

I wouldn't say,
"what fun."

Well, you're saying it now.

Hey, wasn't easter in April?

Oh, good. Yes, easter.
Okay, what did we do for easter?

Oh, nice job, mom.
You forgot to do easter.

You owe me a pound
of jelly beans and a ham.

Shoot! And wasn't there
some birthday in April, too?

Uh, yeah. Jesus.

That's Christmas,
and the birthday was mine.

Oh. Damn. Happy Birthday.

I'll write about how we took dad
to a pacers game to celebrate.

Thanks, buddy.
I would have enjoyed that.

"Today I wrote a letter
to president Nixon"?

Look, she's not gonna read them.
We just have to get it done.

If you don't like it,

erase Nixon
and put in another president.

I'm so excited about tomorrow,
I can't sleep.

Okay, so for graduation,
which makes me look prettier?

God. I'm so tired, I can't
even insult you. Hey.

Is that a community service--
If I don't insult Sue?

I'm tired.
I'm going to bed.

Unh-unh. No.
You cannot go to bed.

This is your fault.
I bought a tiki torch.

I was this close.
If anyone needs sleep, it's me.

I've got about an ounce
of memory left in my head.

You did this. You did this
to me, and you know what?

You're gonna pay. I am gonna make you pay.
Okay. All right.

Mom needs a little break,
little cooling down time.

Mike, he did. He did it, Mike.
This is his fault. I know.

Just little, teeny break. You'll
feel better in the morning.

But I didn't. It was the last
leg of our race to summer,

and I didn't know if Mike or I
had the energy to pull it off.

Okay, we got to keep moving.
Where's our next drop-off?

Uh... 3105 Brook.

Brook Avenue or Brook street?

I don't know.
It just says Brook!

Well, you got to get
these addresses right, Axl.

We don't have time to be driving
down every Brook in town.

Then why you slowing down?

I'm not slowing down.

Aw, damn it!
We're out of gas!

Great!
Now the light comes on.

Hurry up.
We're almost there.

I'm up to may 24th.

Um, okay. Just say...
Your great aunts--

That was yesterday, mom.
I can remember yesterday.

Good, 'cause I can't.

Hello?

Frankie, we got
six more meals to deliver,

but we ran out of gas.
I need you to come pick us up.

Can't. We got to get to Rinsky's
to drop off the notebook,

'cause she's only gonna be there
till 3:00, and we can't

be late for graduation.
You got to figure it out.

Call me after Rinsky.

It will be summer someday,
right, Mike?

You had to buy the tiki torch.

Well...

This is awesome.
Way to go, dad.

Don't you start. You knew
you had community service.

Why didn't you say something
three months ago?

'Cause whenever I tell you
anything, you always

bite my head off! You ways
think I do everything wrong!

Why would I think that?
Maybe it's 'cause thanks to you,

I'm driving around
with 50 chicken parmesans

on the day of Sue's graduation. See?!
You never say anything nice to me.

You always act like
I screw up. All I know is,

I got two jobs while
I go to school,

I never miss a sports practice,

I took that weird wizard girl
to prom!

I do plenty of good stuff.

You really think that-- That
I don't say anything nice to you?

I don't know.

Sometimes.

Yeah, well...

You, kids, are the best thing
that ever happened to me.

Really?

You must have
a really sucky life.

Yes, I do.

Oh, Ms. Rinsky, thank God
you're still here. Oh, darn.

I forgot your teacher's gift
at home on the thing.

I'll send it over the summer.
Anyway, here's Brick's journal.

He didn't bring it in

because we're rushing
to his sister's graduation,

so it's been a great year.
Thanks for everything.

Not so fast, mommy.
Let me just have a look-see

and make sure
that everything's all here.

Have a seat.

So you hosted a boy from Japan.
Oh, that must have been fun.

Yeah, was a great year, lots
of memories. So I should be--

Interesting how his handwriting
progressed throughout the year,

then declined...

Then progressed again.

He, uh, writes different,
you know, depending on the day.

You know Brick.

What would you say was
your favorite part of April?

Disneyland on the 8th...

Paris on the 9th,

and this morning's entry...

"In the car,
trying to finish my journal

"I've been writing
the last two days because

I didn't do my assignment
like I was supposed to."

I don't think you need
to read the rest--

"'Cause mom says

Ms. Rinsky's too lazy
to read the whole thing."

Please!
Please, let us move up.

We didn't go to France,
but we're good people.

We're so close to the end.
I have a tiki torch!

Calm down, mommy.

Brick's going
to the fourth grade.

He is?

I like Brick.
He makes me laugh.

I wouldn't mind having him
for another year.

But you?

Not for a million bucks.

Thank you!
Thank you so much.

One more thing.

Brick is your youngest, right?

Oh, yeah.
You are in the clear.

Okay. Okay, you take
the one on oak street,

I'll take the one on Elm.

Hello?
Mike?

We finished with Rinsky.

Brick is going to the fourth
grade. Where are you guys?

Uh, Elm street. I'm almost
done with the deliveries.

Then we got to go home
and shower.

No shower. You smell fine.
I'm on my way to you now.

And I'll call Nancy Donahue to
tell her to save us some seats.

Crap. Can't find my phone.
Damn it! I must have left it

in Rinsky's room. Now I got
to go back, and she hates me,

but I don't want it
locked up for the summer,

but now we're definitely
gonna be late!

Frankie, look in your hand.

Okay, I found it. I'm on
Elm street. Where are you?

I'm at the last house!

Okay, done! I'm done!
Where are ya?

Oh! I see you!

Hurry up, hurry up!
Come on! Get in, get in!

Let's go, let's go!
Axl, come on!

We're over here, Axl!
Come on!

Graduation from junior high
is an important milestone.

As you parents sit out there,

I know your hearts
are filled with mixed emotion.

Ohh. We made it.
We did it. We're here.

It seems like just yesterday
they were in kindergarten,

and then last week,
you turned in the forms

to register them
for high school.

Forms? Oh, crap! You didn't
happen to turn in the--

Seriously,
you got to see somebody.

We have a very special
achievement to honor.

There is one student

who has never
missed a single day of school,

one student who,
simply by showing up,

has demonstrated incredible
determination and commitment.

Trust me when I say

it is rare that I find a student
with this much perseverance.

So please join me in honoring
this amazing accomplishment

and this amazing student.

This was it, the moment
she'd been waiting for,

the moment Sue'd finally get
the recognition she deserved.

Our perfect attendance
award recipient--

Barb Heckie.

No!
Aw, man.

This can't happen!
They can't do this to her!

She's gonna be crushed!

But she wasn't.

I know.

Then it hit me.

I may not remember exactly
what happened on November 14th

or March 12th,

or whether I left the car
running in the parking lot

right now...

But the point is, these are
the moments you remember.

Yay! Way to go, Barb!

We love you, Barb Heckie!
Way to go, Barb!

We love you, Barb!
Whoo-hoo-hoo!

We made it.

'Course we did.

We're Heckies.

Wow.

This must be
what Hawaii is like.

Yep. We've got
the whole summer in front of us.

I'm bored.
