New Rawley.

For me, it's home

It's an okay place to grow up, but as far as options it's kinda limited.

Rawley Academy.

The billionaire boys' club across town.

Where Summer session begins this week, on about 100 acres of rolling hills.

And get this: it's high school.

Without parents.

For those who attend, the future can be, well, anything.

And now,

maybe for me too.

Hi.

What, you need directions? Oh, the way to Rawley, right?

Let's see. It's right up the road. Just follow your nose. It smells just like money.

Okay. Actually, I uhm, I just wanted to pay for these.

They're on the house.

What do you want, an escort?

Do you know how proud I am of you Baby?

Just think about the good stuff.

All right. We're outta here.

You better hope this works out for you.

Hey. How ya doin? Scout Calhoun.

- Will. Krudski. - Hey, we're roommates.

- Really? - Yeah. Come on.

You have trouble finding the place?

- No. You? - No.

- Where's your stuff? - Oh, it's already inside.

Hello Rawley Academy for Girls�

Nice bike.

Cool room.

- It's not exactly The Waldorf but, uh� - The what?

You know what? Why don't you take the bed by the window?

I'm gonna flip you for it after Christmas break.

Cool. Thanks.

So, uh, where you from?

Uh, the other side of town.

- Think scholarship. - Impressive.

Not really. I'm this year's charity case.

- You? - Um, Greenwich. It's a couple hours from here.

You guys scored. This room is perfectly Feng Shui.

- Funk what? - Feng Shui. It's the Chinese art of placement.

The doors face east, windows face north. I mean if you're into that kind of stuff.

- Hamilton, Flemming. - Scout Calhoun.

Uh, Will. Krudski.

Where's your room?

Next to the Dean and his wife aka Mom and Dad.

Don't worry, I'm not a narc or anything.

- Now this wasn't in the brochure. - This is good ol' Rawley right of passage. Boys' school.

The Girls' school: Wet t-shirts.

- Gotta love tradition. - I suppose we go join 'em. Come on. Let's go!

- Come on. Coming? - Are you serious?

Yeah! Come on!

Young Americans.

::Italian Subs Addicted:: [www.italiansubs.net]

Oh man. I think I'm gonna love this place

Newbie, newbie, show your booties baby!

Damn seniors.

This is the public humiliation part.

You're humiliated? I live here. I mean,

I know these people.

Willy Krudski?

- What's up, Bella? - You're going to Rawley now?

No, I'm just out here, ya know, doing my Marky Mark imitation.

I'm sure your mother would love to see that one. Should I, uh...

- run over to the Beauty Parlor and get her? - All right Pump Girl, how about a ride back to school?

Why don't you just use your friend's cell phone and call a cab?

- I don't have a cell phone. - And your Beamer's in the Garage?

- What makes you think I have a Beamer? - You look dumb and rich.

- Actually, I'm smart and poor. - Afraid not. That's our act.

It's a tough one to follow.

Come on Romeo. I know a short cut.

- That girl. I've gotta get to know her. Have you guys ever� - Please.

Please, I've like known her forever. Besides, I was too busy lusting after the school nurse.

- Hot huh? - Not really. She weighed about 300 pounds.

- Scared of that. - Yeah. Something about that uniform.

Your turn: the most hardcore thing you've ever done?

Ah, let's see. Last summer, I took my dad's '64 Jag for a ride, right?

Sideswiped a tree, set it on fire, and told him it was stolen.

He collected the insurance money and replaced it. Check.

Okay. I got one. I was nine. My friend and I were reading porno mags and smoking butts,

and we burned my parents' garage. To the ground.

We didn't have insurance and we didn't get a new one.

My dad broke my nose.

Geez. Hey, I got one. This is a big one.

I can't believe I'm telling you this. Uh, hey, don't tell anyone, all right?

I had sex with my, my mothers' best friend last summer in Saint Tropez.

- Cool. - No. She got pregnant, had the kid, I'm a father.

- My parents don't know. - Wow.

Are you serious?

Scout.

I cheated on the entrance exam.

I bought it online.

Will, the baby thing. It was a joke.

- The garage. I thought you were kidding. - I was kidding.

Why the hell did you do that?

- I'm not gonna tell anyone all right? I wouldn't do that. - Well I hope so.

I mean look, I didn't have choice.

I had to get out of that house, I had to get away from my dad.

Somebody was gonna get hurt and it wasn't gonna be me.

God, look I feel so stupid. Ya know, I shouldn't even have told you!

Will, hey, hey, all right, don't even think about it.

I am not gonna tell anyone. All right? To the grave. I swear.

That's a cool bike.

Ya know, students aren't allowed to have motorcycles.

Yeah, students aren't allowed to do a lot of things.

Hasn't stopped me yet.

You keep riding around on that hog, and I guarantee you someone here will,

unless you've got an ally. Someone with connections high up,

someone who might like to take a ride on that bike sometime.

- I'm like a Swiss vault. I can keep a secret. - Can you?

Afternoon Gentlemen.

My name is Finn. No Mr. is necessary.

What? It's time to throw convention out the window.

Get ready for the greatest summer of your lives.

Well, is anyone gonna get in the boat?

Let's do it.

Question: Who's the greatest writer that ever lived?

Who's the greatest writer that ever lived?

Faulkner!

Interesting.

Thoughtful.

But wrong! The correct answer is William Shakespeare.

He is my favorite. Remember, I am not just here to teach you how to be a kick-ass crew team,

but to edify you about the superstars of literature,

like Faulkner, like Shakespeare, and Hemingway, and Steinbeck.

Those guys had passion. Let me tell you a little secret about passion.

It doesn't come from here, and it doesn't come from here. It comes from right here!

I expect you to know these things Mr. Krudski, if you're going to live up to those impressive test scores:

third highest in Rawley history.

I admire those who aim their arrows high.

Hey, Two Man, you're going into the water too early!

Your heads should be in the boat boys.

Keep that up, you'll be catching a crab.

Listen very closely Gentlemen.

Tell me what you hear.

Birds.

Waves?

What else?

- Wind? - Beneath that.

Pond scum.

Older than that.

History.

Keep going Mr. Krudski. What do you mean by history?

I mean this whole lake has a history,

for the town and even for the school.

It certainly does.

When I was a little kid, right up there on that bank,

the town had a 4th of July picnic.

Whole bunch of locals got food poisoning from a blueberry pie-eating contest.

Got sick all over the whole dock. Everyone said the whole lake had turned purple.

Charming.

What I'm saying is,

I've been coming here forever.

My mom taught me to swim here.

You know, my dad crewed here.

Probably in that very boat.

You know how many guys have sat right where you're sitting?

Don't think for a minute anyone one of them wouldn't trade their seat

on the New York Stock Exchange to be 15 again,

have all their dreams intact and the possibilities of the universe at their fingertips.

The sound you should be hearing is opportunity.

So make the most of it.

Exceed expectations.

Alright everyone,

out of the boat.

Come on. Out. Out!

This is the swimming portion of our summer curriculum.

For those of you who do not know how to swim,

I suggest you pay particular attention.

Man, what a wanker.

Here goes nothing.

Thanks a lot Finn.

Come on, it's nice.

Will,

I-I can't get Bella out of my head.

Will!

Will. Buddy,

you're not helping me here.

Come on. I need more.

Will?

Earth to Will.

Sorry.

If I would have known Finn was gonna make such a big deal

about my test score, I would have bought a cheaper one.

Well, you juSt need to figure out how...

I mean if it bothers you this much then you should just --

What?

Go tell Finn I cheated? Get thrown out,

then go home?

Newsflash: I don't have one.

My dad made that real clear.

That's not what I'm saying.

Look, I mean

i-if you can't learn to live with it and it's really gonna bother you,

let's just figure out a way for you to fix it.

Hey.

Feel free to barge right in.

Sorry.

So, you find a place to stash your bike?

Well, after six schools you get a handle on these things.

Wow. Parents move a lot?

Nope.

Oh, so why would you keep switching?

Waiting for someone to notice.

They don't know?

Nope.

Get inside my mom's email account,

send a letter as her, and her attorney wires the money wherever I say.

The wonders of the digital age.

So, that's how you scammed the single room?

Scammed the single room?

You should see what happens when I hack into your dad's database.

Wow.

Veritas Est Virtus.

Truth and Virtue.

Actually, it's uh, Truth is Virtue.

Whatever.

Wait a minute.

You actually hacked into NASA?

That is so WarGames.

Yeah, but you can only stay on for 30 seconds.

Cool cap.

Smells good.

- I didn't mean... - It's okay.

- No, I meant... - Whatever.

- No, I just... - It's cool.

- Hi. - Hi.

So, do, you um,

live in a 14-room mansion like the Fresh Prince of Bel Air?

No, it's like a 40-room mansion like Billy Madison.

Tell me your kidding.

Okay.

Can you take a break?

I'm working.

I'll wait.

Give me a minute.

I never wanted to go to Rawley because I always thought

my dad would force me to, but then he said,

'Ya know, Scout, you can choose your own path,'

and of course this is where I wanna be.

Oh, you're such a rebel without a cause.

Why should I be the first Calhoun to break tradition?

Just so my dad wouldn't feel guilty about pigeon holing me just like his father did to him?

Wait. Calhoun? As in Calhoun Hall?

Maybe.

Tough Pigeon Hole.

So, um, moving on, what about you?

You work for your mom and dad at the gas station?

Actually, my mom left about 10 years ago.

I'm sorry.

No, no, no. It's okay. Um, I mean it was hard.

It was especially hard for my dad but, um,

he has me and he has my sister Grace, and

Gracie looks so much like my mom.

She kinda acts like her too.

And you're more like your dad?

Um, he's , he's actually not my real dad.

Well actually, well um, I mean he's my real dad to me.

See, my mom had this big affair and, uh, I'm not really supposed to know about it.

You know, big family secret.

I never really broached the subject 'cause I don't wanna freak him out, but

as far as I'm concerned he's my dad.

Pardon my over-revealing nature. It's all so very 20th century.

- Oh, Is it really? - Yeah.

- Yeah? - Huge soap opera.

Leaves off a tree.

Um, 6 months. Ice cubes. Water to freezing.

- That's a good one. - Mhm-mh.

I don't know. Like 30 minutes?

Approximately.

Hurt feelings not hurt anymore.

That is like so relative.

And what would you know about hurt feelings anyway Master Scout?

You're like this Fresh Prince of South Hampton kind of guy who I'm sure

always gets what he wants.

I have no clue what I want.

Well maybe you should start thinking about wanting something.

Oh, I am. I...

Uh, you're getting that "I'm gonna do something to you" kinda look.

I am.

Yes. You are.

No, I mean like, I am.

Like, I'm gonna. Like get ready it's coming

because I have been waiting for days and I think if I have to wait another second that --

Just shut up.

Mr. Krudski.

- Hey. - Hey.

Ever heard of Hobbes?

As in "Calvin and" or the philosopher?

Very good. Do you know what his philosophy was?

No.

It was that there's an inherent social contract of which honesty is the foundation.

- Okay. - I'm on to you.

- Meaning what? - Meaning you cheated.

Look, I didn't have a choice!

You've got nothing but choices.

God, Please don't do this to me. I've never gotten a break.

You've gotta understand. Please.

Who do you think you're talking to?

Not only did you cheat, but you stole a seat from a student who deserves it.

So what are you gonna do?

You need to be thinking about what you're gonna do.

Love that truck.

I have this totally delusional fantasy that my dad's gonna give it to me when I'm 18.

You stalking me?

I couldn't decide between obsessive compulsive or cool and disinterested.

I always thought cool and disinterested was over-rated.

Okay. Shall we dance?

You're kidding right?

I never kid about anything as serious as dancing.

What is --. Whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm ticklish, girl.

- Are you? - Yeah, there.

Oh, watch out!

Hi Daddy, this is Scout. I told you about him.

How you doin' Mr. Banks? Scout. Calhoun.

Nice to meet you, Scout Calhoun.

Bella, time to lock up.

See you when I see you.

I don't think it's a good idea for you to come around here anymore.

It's not that he doesn't like you, Scout. He just doesn't like Rawley guys.

Why not?

He thinks guys like you use girls like me...

for sex.

That's so stupid. I mean I...

So you don't wanna have sex with me?

Is that a trick question?

What are you thinking?

You so don't wanna know what I'm thinking right now.

- Yes, I do. - No, you really don't.

I really do. Come on.

Okay.

I was thinking,

is this the guy I'm gonna spend the rest of my life with?

Oh my God! I can't believe I just said that!

No, I love that. That is...

awesome. I love that you said that.

I am so humiliated. I've known you for all of what 5 minutes

and now I sound like someone out of a Jane Austen novel.

Are you kidding?

You are so brave,

because I would never tell you what I was thinking.

- Well, you don't have to tell me what you're thinking. - No?

I already know.

Oh you better run!

You better run!

You think you're fast, huh, huh?

We'll see!

- Will, where you going? - Study Hall.

Well, I've had a newsworthy day. I am in love with Bella Banks!

Just shut up.

- What? - You told Finn.

Told Finn what?

You just had to go and fix this for me didn't you?

Isn't that what you said? Fix it or live with it?

- Will, I did not tell Finn that. - I don't have anywhere else to go Scout.

- I mean I can't go home. - I did not say anything to him.

I have a hard time believing that since you were the only one who knew!

I wouldn't do that to you Will. I wouldn't do it!

Well, he knows.

He told me after practice.

Fine, fine, he told you after practice! I'll go to him.

No you won't! Just stay out of it.

The problem is, like there's total miscommunication between guys and girls.

Just, when a girl says, "I really, really like you,"

what she means is, "I'm ready for a commitment, are you?"

but when a guy says, "I really, really like you,"

what he means is, "I wanna have sex with you."

Well, it sounds like you have a lot of experience in this area.

Hacking into this satellite feed is gonna be great. I mean it'll be like 20 times faster than 56K.

- What are you doing?! - I gotta pee.

See, when a girl says, "What are you doing this weekend?"

what she means is, "I want you to hang out with me instead of your friends,"

but when a guy says, "What are you doing this weekend?"

what he means is, "I wanna have sex with you."

And also when a girl says, "I need to know where this relationship is going",

what she means is, "I'm hopelessly in love and I pray that you are too,"

but when a guy says, "I need to know where this relationship is going," what he means is�

I wanna have sex with you!

- Right. - Yeah, right.

Oh God, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Oh God, I'm sorry.

- Hey.

You speaking to me?

I, uh, look...

I accused you of something and, you know, I'm not sure that was right.

- Will, I didn't tell him. I really didn't. - Let me finish. It's just...

It's not just that.

I've always wanted to be here. This school, Rawley, be one of you.

For you guys, anything is possible.

Has he said anything else to you?

No.

Maybe he'll just forget about it.

If he was gonna do something, he would've already done it.

No.

No, the ball's in my court. He's made that pretty clear.

What are you gonna do?

Leave.

I don't belong here.

- I wish I did, but... - Will.

Nobody belongs anywhere. It's in your head.

Look, your grades were good enough to get you a scholarship.

Why can't you believe you weren't good enough to get in here without cheating?

Because I'm not.

I think you are.

Hi, uh, listen, I know you don't like Rawley guys,

but I'm a really good guy, ya know?

And there's no doubt in my mind, Mr. Banks, that if you would just get to know me

that you would like me too,

- and we, we wanna be together, and it is so... - Scout, sit down.

I wanna talk to you.

Bella thinks that I don't like Rawley guys, but that's not true.

A lot of great guys go to Rawley.

Your father went there.

Yeah he did.

See, Bella's mom, Donna, and I were born here.

And it's hard growing up in this town, struggling.

Those guys seem to have everything you think you want.

Sometimes the two sides do get together.

But, the results can be upsetting.

You mean me and Bella?

No, Scout. I mean Bella's mom and your dad.

You can't be with Bella.

Hi.

- Hey. I gotta go. - You just got here!

- No. No! - What's wrong? Scout!

Mr. Krudski. Classes are over.

I know what I'm gonna do.

Everything depended on this test.

I thought to myself, why leave it to chance? What if I failed?

My whole life has been about limitations. What I can't have, what I can't do, and...

I bought into that.

Let me take the test again.

- I think you miss the point. - Please.

I wanna know if I could have done it. Then, if you wanna throw me out...

Just do it.

You wanna take the test again? Fine. But more importantly, I want an essay.

No less than 300 words. Telling me what you have to say.

Who are you, Mr. Krudski? You have 90 minutes.

You asked me to write an essay telling you what I have to say,

and what I realized is that I've been ordered to listen from the moment I was born,

but now I know it's my time to speak.

What I figured out is that I've always seen myself as others have seen me.

This poor kid, this smart kid, this dreamer who doesn't have a chance.

I've known the comfort of my mother's arms and the violence of my father's disappointment.

But everyone encounters obstacles. The trick is to discover the opportunities within them.

I've learned that every day we create who we are

by what we do and what we think and how we behave,

so now that it's my time to speak, I just hope I have something to say.

And I'm gonna set my expectations high, and one day I'll exceed them.

Listen, I wanna say...

That wasn't what you thought!

- I don't know where you're coming from but... - I can explain!

- No, don't explain. Let's just not even... - Talk about it!

- Yeah, let's just... - Forget about it!

Yeah, let's do that.

Friends?

Yeah, friends.

No question. No question.

You da man!

Yup!

Okay!

I'm da man!

Oh my God.

I'm da man.

Oh my God, I think I'm a gay.

Mr. Krudski.

I have good news and bad.

Good news is, you passed the test.

Bad is, is you're tossing me out.

No.

The bad is, after reading you essay...

I think you're a writer.

God! Yeah! Scout!

- Hey. - Hi.

I, um...

I guess good looks run in the family.

That is not funny.

Who's laughing?

I can't stop thinking about you.

Me, too.

So, now what?

I don't know.

I don't know, friends?

Just like that?

Well, I don't know what else to do, Scout.

It's so out of our hands. I just -- I don't know. I don't.

I thought of a good one the other day.

It was um... bell bottoms to straight leg and back to bells again.

- Oh, um, 30 years? - Maybe.

Civilization?

Uh, 500 years.

Overcoming the loss of a true love?

Scout! I did it!

- Did what? - I passed the test!

Of course you did. I knew you'd pass the test.

You know, you'd better. You know, you're representing New Rawley up here now.

God, I can't believe it!

I used to sit across at that dock over there

and I used to look over here at the perfect lawns, the perfect building, the perfect people,

the perfect life!

I swear, I just wanted to be a part of something that wasn't meant for me!

What are you doing, Krudski?

Throwing convention out the window and I'm exceeding expectations! Wow!

And so, our adventure begins.

We find our heroes, and we uncover our fears, and sometimes, we triumph.
