- SORRY I'M LATE. - MOM WANTS TO TALK TO YOU.

[car door closes]

- HI. - HEY.

- WHAT, UH--WHAT'S THIS? - DELMONT PREP.

IT'S A PRIVATE SCHOOL. SHE FOUND IT ONLINE.

SHE APPLIED ALL BY HERSELF.

SHE WANTS TO GO NEXT YEAR.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? THIS IS MICHIGAN.

- I CHECKED IT OUT. IT ACTUALLY SOUNDS IMPRESSIVE.

IT'S A FAST TRACK TO THE IVY LEAGUE.

- YOU KNOW WHAT? IF SHE WANTS TO SWITCH SCHOOLS,

THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF GREAT SCHOOLS RIGHT HERE.

- YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT.

SHE WANTS TO GET AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE.

- FROM WHAT? - FROM...

- OKAY, I-I-I...

[phone chimes] I HEAR YOU. I DO.

I, UM...

I'M--I'M WITH YOU ON THIS.

WE'LL, UM, UM-- CALL ME THIS WEEK AND--

I GOT TO GO. MY CASE IS COMPLETELY SELF-DESTRUCTING.

LOOK, LET'S ALL GET TOGETHER LATER THIS WEEK,

AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THIS.

IN THE MEANTIME,

I'M GONNA SAY NO TO THIS MICHIGAN THING

SO SHE CAN START GETTING USED TO IT.

AND PLEASE BACK ME UP ON THIS, DIANE, OKAY?

I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

- I'LL CALL YOUR OFFICE AND SEE IF, UM,

THEY CAN PENCIL US IN.

- SO HOW'S SCHOOL? - IT'S FINE.

- I'M SORRY I WAS LATE. I'M JUST SWAMPED...

- SWAMPED WITH WORK.

I KNOW.

- ALMOST DONE, BUD.

- HI.

- HEY.

- I LOVE GOING TO WORK WITH MY DAD ON SATURDAYS.

- I USED TO LOVE IT TOO.

- I'M SORRY I HAD TO WORK SO MUCH.

- DAD, IF YOU'RE REALLY THAT BUSY,

I CAN JUST STAY WITH MOM ON THE WEEKENDS TOO.

- NO, THAT IS NOT WHAT I WANT. - FINE.

- KAREN. - BYE.

- KAREN. - HEY, HONEY.

ARE YOU OKAY? - AWESOME.

- [sighs]

- WHAT HAPPENED? - NOTHING.

I JUST HAD TO WORK A LITTLE BIT OVER THE WEEKEND.

OTHER THAN THAT, IT'S JUST HER BEING HER TEENAGE SELF.

- DID YOU TALK TO HER ABOUT DELMONT PREP?

- OH, NO. I'M SORRY. I WAS SWAMPED.

I'LL HAVE TO TALK TO HER NEXT WEEKEND.

- YOU KNOW WHAT I'M THINKING?

IF SHE GOES TO MICHIGAN, I'M GOING WITH HER.

- IT SEEMS LIKE HE'S DOING WELL, THOUGH.

[telephone ringing]

- WHAT'S UP WITH DAVIES? - JUST GOT HIS PINK SLIP.

BAXTER TOO.

- OH, MAN, IT'S REALLY HAPPENING.

- NO KIDDING. I JUST CALLED IN TO SEE STU.

- YEAH, ME TOO.

STU? - COME ON IN, FELLAS.

HAVE A SEAT.

I'M GONNA BE STRAIGHT WITH YOU.

IT'S A BLOODBATH OUT THERE.

THIS WHOLE REAL-ESTATE THING JUST HIT US A LOT HARDER

THAN WE EXPECTED.

WE'RE CUTTING 20% ACROSS THE BOARD.

YOU TWO ARE SAFE...

FOR NOW.

YOUR WORKLOAD IS ABOUT TO TRIPLE,

SINCE YOU TWO ARE THE ONLY ONES LEFT

TO HANDLE THE LOAD OF THE DEPARTMENT.

- I CAN HANDLE IT. - WE'RE WITH YOU.

- GOOD. HERE'S THE CATCH.

NOW, I JUST SAVED BOTH OF YOUR BUTTS.

THERE'S GONNA BE A REVIEW IN THE NEXT QUARTER,

AND BOTH OF YOU BETTER COME UP SHINING,

BECAUSE THE ONE OF YOU WHO DOESN'T

ISN'T GONNA BE AROUND FOR LONG.

ARE WE CLEAR? - ABSOLUTELY.

- A THOUSAND PERCENT.

- ALL RIGHT, PROM'S RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER,

AND WE HAVE OUR WORK CUT OUT FOR US

IF WE WANT THE BEST PROM EVER,

OR AT LEAST NOT SUCK LIKE LAST YEAR.

- OH, RIGHT.

- I MEAN, NO OFFENSE TO LAST YEAR'S COMMITTEE.

WE HAVE TWO PRIORITIES.

ONE, TO DIVVY OUT WHO DOES WHAT,

AND TWO, TO FIGURE OUT A THEME FOR PROM.

- AW, ISN'T THAT SWEET?

KEEP DREAMING, SISTER.

- AS FOR OUR TWO NEW MEMBERS,

FEEL FREE TO VOLUNTEER AS MUCH AS YOU CAN,

'CAUSE THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

- BRING IT ON. - I LIKE THAT ATTITUDE.

IT'S CHLOE, RIGHT? - YOU GOT IT.

AND YOU'RE CAROL? - UM, NO. KAREN.

- I'M--I'M SORRY. I'M RYAN.

UH, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU BROUGHT YOUR NOTEBOOK.

DO YOU MIND JOTTING DOWN THE MINUTES OF OUR MEETINGS?

- MM, SURE.

- CAROL WILL MAKE A FINE SECRETARY.

[door opens]

[door closes] - HONEY, I'M HOME!

- HEY, OTIS. [Otis barks]

- YOU CANNOT ESCAPE ME.

WE ARE GOING TO THE HIGH-SCHOOL REUNION.

- I TOLD YOU, I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF A CASE.

- YOU'RE ALWAYS IN THE MIDDLE OF A CASE.

THIS IS YOUR 30TH HIGH-SCHOOL REUNION WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

- JUST, UH, MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME.

- NICE.

ALL THE BOYS IN THE BAND ARE GONNA BE THERE.

- PETE'S GONNA BE THERE? - MM-HMM.

- VINCE? - YEAH.

WELL, HE'S ON TOUR SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE,

BUT I'M TRYING TO GET HIM TO MAKE A SURPRISE APPEARANCE.

- VINCE IS SO NOT GONNA BE THERE.

I CAN'T GO, RONNY. I'M SWAMPED.

- COME ON, MAN, WE'RE THE GROANERS.

GARAGE BAND GODS, REMEMBER?

[Otis whines]

AHH.

- YOU'RE JUST NOT GONNA LEAVE UNTIL I SAY YES, ARE YOU?

- NO.

- ALL RIGHT, FINE.

WHATEVER. I'M IN.

- YES! THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME.

COME ON.

UH, DID I MENTION WE'RE ALL GONNA BE WEARING

OUR BAND JACKETS?

- NO, WE'RE NOT, NOT A CHANCE.

- OH, NO, NO. I'M SORRY.

WE ARE ALL GOING TO BE WEARING THEM.

- YOU'VE BECOME SO RELENTLESS IN YOUR OLD AGE.

- THANKS. COME ON, OTE, LET'S DO IT.

[Otis barks]

- SO I GOT A LITTLE SURPRISE FOR YOU.

[cell phone ringing]

[cell phone beeps]

UH, HANG--HANG ON. HANG ON JUST A SECOND.

NO. NO, THAT WAS NEVER THE DEAL.

THAT'S NOT WHAT I TOLD HIM.

HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE'S DOING.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL MAKE THE CHANGES,

AND I'LL SEND YOU THE NEW DRAFT.

OKAY. BYE.

HEY. IS IT OVER ALREADY?

- DAD, IT ISN'T BAD ENOUGH THAT YOU DRAG ME TO THE MOVIES

EVERY WEEKEND SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY

ABOUT TALKING TO ME FOR TWO HOURS.

- THAT'S NOT WHY I TAKE YOU TO THE MOVIES.

- BUT THEN YOU GET UP, AND YOU LEAVE ME THERE ALONE

WATCHING SOME STUPID MOVIE

THAT I DIDN'T WANT TO SEE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

- I'M SORRY. THIS WAS A VERY IMPORTANT PHONE CALL.

- IT ALWAYS IS.

- KAREN. - WHAT?

- I LOVE GOING TO THE MOVIES WITH YOU.

- YEAH, IT USED TO BE FUN...

BUT I'M NOT 12 ANYMORE.

- COME ON, TALK TO ME.

- DON'T YOU HAVE WORK TO DO?

- KAREN, MY JOB IS NOT 9:00 TO 5:00.

THE ONLY FREE TIME I HAVE IS ON THE WEEKENDS,

AND I SPEND AS MUCH OF IT WITH YOU AS I CAN.

- WELL, THANK YOU. CAN I GO NOW?

- CAN WE JUST TALK FOR A MINUTE, PLEASE?

I DON'T KNOW. I MEAN, WE--WE USED TO TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING,

AND NOW I FEEL LIKE I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON

IN YOUR LIFE.

- WHAT DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?

- OKAY, WELL, FOR STARTERS,

HOW'S EVERYTHING AT HOME?

- IT'S FINE.

- SCHOOL?

- IT'S FINE TOO.

- COME ON, YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT.

- ALL RIGHT.

SCHOOL SUCKS.

- WHY? YOUR GRADES ARE TERRIFIC.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR FRIENDS? - I DON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS.

- KAREN, COME ON, SERIOUSLY. YOU DON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS?

SWEETHEART, I'M--I'M SO SORRY.

FRIENDS MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD.

HIGH SCHOOL WAS ONE OF THE BEST TIMES OF MY LIFE

BECAUSE I HAD SUCH A GREAT GROUP OF FRIENDS.

- WELL, GOOD FOR YOU, DAD.

BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYWAY,

BECAUSE I'M GOING TO MICHIGAN NEXT YEAR.

- ALL RIGHT, LOOK, UM, YOUR MOM AND I

HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS, AND I DON'T THINK MICHIGAN

IS A GOOD IDEA.

WHY NOT? IT'S A GREAT SCHOOL.

- WELL, THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT.

YOU'RE ONLY 16 YEARS OLD,

AND YOU SHOULD BE HERE WITH YOUR PARENTS.

YOU WANT TO GO AWAY TO COLLEGE WHEN THE TIME COMES,

I THINK THAT'S GREAT.

- YOU DON'T LIVE WITH US ANYMORE.

I DON'T NEED YOUR PERMISSION.

- [sighs]

SORRY.

[sighs] - TWO MINUTES LATER,

I WAS GONNA START COOKING THE LAMB YOU GOT IN THERE.

- OH, MAN. - SO WHAT IS IT, BOY TROUBLE?

- NO, I WISH,

'CAUSE THEN MAYBE SOMETHING WOULD MAKE HER HAPPY.

- KEY TO DEALING WITH TEENAGE ANGST

IS TO CHANNEL IT LIKE WE DID WITH OUR MUSIC.

- EXACTLY. SHE DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

- WHAT ABOUT YOU?

HOW YOU DOING? YOU--

YOU HAVE FUN PLAYING THE OTHER NIGHT?

- OH, YOU KIDDING? I LOVED IT.

I HAVEN'T FELT LIKE THAT IN...

I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG.

YOU KNOW, JUST TO BE IN THE MOMENT

AND THE ENERGY OF THE MUSIC JUST TAKES YOU.

- YEAH, IT TAKES YOU TO ANOTHER WORLD.

I'M WITH YOU.

- I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY I STOPPED PLAYING GUITAR.

I JUST DID.

YOU KNOW, I USED TO DREAM ABOUT GUITAR RIFFS.

MY DAUGHTER UPSTAIRS,

SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THAT I EVER PLAYED.

IT'S RIDICULOUS. - YOU GOT BUSY. WE ALL DID.

- WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT PUTTING THE BAND BACK TOGETHER?

- YOU'RE SERIOUS. - YEAH, I'M REALLY SERIOUS.

I WANT SOME MUSIC BACK IN MY LIFE.

AND WHO KNOWS? MAYBE IF I'M HAPPIER,

I COULD HELP MAKE MY DAUGHTER HAPPIER.

- I LOVE IT! - YEAH?

- YEAH. - WHO YOU--WHO YOU CALLING?

- I'M GONNA GET YOU. OW. [telephone ringing]

AAH! - MISSED.

- AAH! - HELLO.

- THE KEEPER OF THE BEAT, THE PRINCE OF PERCUSSION,

MR. PETE SUNFIELD.

- HEY, RONNY, WHAT'S UP?

- STILL GOT YOUR DRUMS? [cymbal crashes]

- SURE DO. - PACK THEM UP.

THE GROANERS ARE GETTING BACK TOGETHER, BABY.

- ARE YOU SERIOUS? - 100% NOT KIDDING.

YOU IN? - OF COURSE I'M IN.

HEY, HEY, GUY, GUYS, GUYS, BE--BE CAREFUL WITH THE DRUMS.

UH, I-I GOT TO CALL YOU BACK.

- JUST LIKE THAT THE GROANERS ARE BACK TOGETHER, BABY.

- ALL RIGHT.

- COME ON, GUYS.

BRAINSTORMING MEANS COMING UP WITH LOTS

OF DIFFERENT THEME IDEAS.

- OH, I KNOW... VAMPIRE PROM.

- ALL RIGHT, COOL. ANYONE ELSE?

- WAIT, THINK ABOUT IT.

WE COULD HAVE GOTH MUSIC AND MOOD LIGHTING

AND BLOOD PUNCH.

IT'D BE AWESOME. - YEAH. YEAH, O-O-OKAY.

UM, I'VE GOT ONE-- BEACH FIESTA.

WE CAN HAVE MEXICAN FOOD AND HAVE SAND VOLLEYBALL COURTS.

ARE YOU GETTING ALL THIS?

- YEAH.

- ANYBODY ELSE?

REALLY HELPED ME FIND AN INNER STRENGTH

THAT I DIDN'T KNOW I HAD.

- HOW COME WE DIDN'T HANG OUT MORE IN HIGH SCHOOL?

- YOU ONLY HAD EYES FOR THE POPULAR GIRLS.

- WELL, YOU'RE LUCKY YOU DIDN'T GET MIXED UP WITH ME.

I DON'T HAVE A GREAT TRACK RECORD WITH WOMEN.

I'VE GOT AN EX-WIFE WHO WISHES SHE WERE THE ONE WHO GOT AWAY.

I'VE GOT A DAUGHTER WHO'S TRYING DESPERATELY

TO GET AWAY.

WAIT A MINUTE. WHAT TIME IS IT?

OH, MAN. IT'S 12:20.

- WHAT, ARE YOU GONNA TURN INTO A PUMPKIN?

- HOLD ON.

HER CURFEW'S AT 11:00. SHE'S OVER AN HOUR LATE.

- SHE'S NEVER BEEN LATE BEFORE?

- NO.

OH, SHE'S NOT PICKING UP. KAREN, IT'S DAD.

IT'S AFTER MIDNIGHT. WHERE ARE YOU?

CALL ME RIGHT AWAY.

- CAN YOU CALL SOME OF THE FRIENDS

THAT SHE WENT OUT WITH? - YEAH. NO. NO.

I-I-I DON'T KNOW WHO SHE WENT OUT WITH.

OH. I GOT TO CALL HER MOM.

THIS IS GONNA GET UGLY.

- ALL RIGHT, SO WE'RE GONNA DO EVERYTHING WE CAN.

LET'S START FROM THE BEGINNING, THOUGH, OKAY?

UM, HAS YOUR DAUGHTER RUN AWAY BEFORE?

- NO. NEVER.

- ANY PROBLEMS AT HOME? YOU'RE DIVORCED FROM THE MOTHER.

- YEAH, BUT THAT'S NEVER BEEN A PROBLEM.

SHE LIVES WITH HER MOTHER DURING THE WEEK

AND WITH ME DURING THE WEEKENDS.

- IS SHE HERE? - NO, NOT YET.

- WHAT HAPPENED? DID YOU TWO HAVE A FIGHT OR SOMETHING?

- NO, SHE SAID SHE WAS GONNA GO MEET SOME FRIENDS.

- THERE SHE IS.

- OH, KAREN, THANK GOD.

both: WHERE WERE YOU? - I WAS TAKING A WALK.

- DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?

- I GUESS I LOST TRACK OF TIME.

CAN I GO INSIDE NOW? IT'S FREEZING OUT HERE.

- I'D REALLY LIKE TO KNOW WHY YOU--

- YES, IT'S OKAY. GO ON. - OKAY.

- [sighs]

- WE'RE GONNA BE GOING NOW, SIR.

I'M GLAD SHE'S SAFE. - OKAY. THANK YOU.

AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THE FALSE ALARM.

- NO PROBLEM.

- UM... - I--

I SHOULD GO.

GOOD NIGHT. - GOOD NIGHT.

THANKS, JESSE.

- BYE. - OF COURSE. GOOD TO MEET YOU.

- YOU TOO.

- THAT'S JESSE.

NO, LOOK, I-- LET ME HANDLE THIS.

- 'CAUSE OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE SO GOOD AT IT?

- I GET THAT YOU'RE ANGRY.

BUT YOU WANT ME TO HAVE A REAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HER.

I'M THE ONE WHO NEEDS TO TALK TO HER.

- WHY DON'T YOU TRY LISTENING.

GIVE THAT A SHOT.

[music plays on iPod]

♪

- PLEASE TAKE OFF THE HEADPHONES.

KAREN!

- I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU CALLED THE POLICE.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW EMBARRASSING THAT IS?

- EMBARRASSING?

LOOK, I REALIZE THAT I EMBARRASSED YOU EARLIER

IN FRONT OF MY FRIENDS.

BUT WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL? I WAS SO WORRIED.

- YEAH, RIGHT. - WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

- WHEN?

IN BETWEEN SETS

OR DURING A BREAK IN THE ACTION BETWEEN YOU AND WHAT'S HER NAME?

- WHAT YOU DID WAS INCREDIBLY IRRESPONSIBLE.

YOUR MOTHER AND I WERE PANICKING.

- YOU DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE THAT I WAS LATE

UNTIL AN HOUR AND A HALF PAST MY CURFEW.

I SAW WHAT TIME YOU CALLED MY PHONE.

JUST ADMIT IT, DAD, YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ME.

- KAREN...

COME ON, OF COURSE I CARE.

- WELL, THEN YOU DON'T CARE ENOUGH.

YOU DIDN'T CARE ENOUGH ABOUT MOM,

AND YOU DON'T CARE ENOUGH ABOUT OUR FAMILY.

WORK IS FIRST. EVERYTHING ELSE IS JUST A DISTANT SECOND.

AND NOW THERE'S THIS STUPID BAND THING,

AND SUDDENLY I DON'T EVEN COME SECOND ANYMORE.

I'M, LIKE, THIRD OR FOURTH BEHIND JESSE.

- LOOK, I'M SORRY IF MY SPENDING TIME WITH HER IS--

- STOP SAYING YOU'RE SORRY.

EVERY TIME THAT YOU TELL ME THAT YOU'RE SORRY,

ALL I HEAR IS THAT YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO CHANGE.

- I KNOW THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN A GREAT FATHER.

I KNOW THAT.

BUT I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH.

YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME.

- WHY SHOULD I?

GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON.

- WHAT'S HAPPENED TO US?

WE WERE BEST FRIENDS.

- DO YOU REMEMBER IN FIFTH GRADE

WHEN THERE WAS THAT DISNEY ON ICESHOW IN TOWN?

YOU PROMISED THAT YOU WOULD TAKE ME.

I WAS SO EXCITED, I TOLD THE WHOLE SCHOOL

THAT I WAS GOING ON A DATE WITH MY DAD.

I BARELY SLEPT, LIKE, THREE NIGHTS BEFORE.

AND I WOKE UP EARLY, AND I PUT ON THIS NEW OUTFIT

THAT MOM AND I HAD BOUGHT FOR OUR SPECIAL DATE.

AND WHEN I, UH--

WHEN I WENT INTO YOUR ROOM,

YOU WERE ALREADY GONE.

YOU HAD LEFT EARLY FOR THE OFFICE

BECAUSE OF SOME BIG CASE THAT YOU THOUGHT NEEDED YOU

MORE THAN I DID.

WELL, YOU WERE WRONG.

EVERY TIME THAT YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS,

I PROMISE MYSELF THAT I'M GOING TO STOP BELIEVING IN YOU.

BUT IT--IT'S HARD, DAD, BECAUSE I WANT TO BELIEVE

THAT YOU ARE GOING TO BE THERE FOR ME, BUT YOU'RE NOT.

YOU'RE NOT A PART OF MY LIFE ANYMORE.

AND SOMETIMES I HATE YOU FOR THAT.

- I'M SO SORRY.

- SEE?

YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO CHANGE.

WHAT?

- HI.

- MOM IS COMING TO PICK ME UP.

- NOW? - YEAH.

OKAY, WELL, LOOK, UM...

I THOUGHT A LOT ABOUT WHAT YOU SAID LAST NIGHT,

AND, UH, IT WASN'T EASY TO LISTEN TO.

BUT I NEEDED TO HEAR IT. [doorbell rings]

- THAT'S MOM. - I KNOW. JUST--

I'M NOT GONNA SAY "I'M SORRY" ANYMORE.

I WANT TO DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY.

WILL YOU GIVE ME A CHANCE?

[keys clacking, telephone ringing]

- DAD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

[sighs]

- NOW, I REALIZE THAT YOU'RE ALL GROWN UP AND EVERYTHING,

BUT I FIGURE EVEN A 16-YEAR-OLD LIKES AN OCCASIONAL TREAT.

- DAD, I HAVE A PAPER TO WRITE.

- IT'S A POPSICLE.

I DOUBT IT'S GONNA INTERFERE WITH YOUR EDUCATION.

- OKAY, YOU'RE TRYING TO CONNECT.

I GET THAT, BUT I HAVE TWO PAPERS DUE,

AND THIS PROM-COMMITTEE THING

IS TAKING UP A LOT OF MY TIME.

I'M REALLY SWAMPED WITH WORK RIGHT NOW.

YOU OF ALL PEOPLE SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT.

- NO, I-I-I DO.

A LITTLE TASTE OF MY OWN MEDICINE.

- I DON'T KNOW.

BUT, UM, CAN WE--CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS LATER?

- YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

AND, UH, I'VE LEARNED MY LESSON.

I'M NOT GONNA BUG YOU DURING THE WEEK ANYMORE.

BUT FRIDAY NIGHT-- PROMISE ME YOU'LL KEEP IT OPEN.

I'VE GOT A LITTLE PLAN.

- WHAT?

- IT'S JUST A-- JUST A LITTLE SURPRISE.

FRIDAY AFTER SCHOOL, MEET YOU RIGHT HERE.

- ALL RIGHT, WELL, I WILL CALL YOU

IF SOMETHING ELSE COMES UP.

- YOU WON'T REGRET IT. - OKAY, BYE.

- ALL RIGHT. DO YOU WANT A LIFT HOME?

- UH, NO. - WHAT ABOUT A POPSICLE?

LAST CHANCE.

- I'M REGRETTING IT ALREADY.

[telephone ringing]

- HEY. - HEY, STU.

YOU NEED ME?

- CAN YOU GET BACK EAST THIS WEEKEND?

- WHAT? NO. WHY?

- THE GARNETT BOYS MIGHT BE GETTING

A LITTLE ANTSY, ESPECIALLY THIS CLOSE TO TRIAL.

SO I FIGURED A LITTLE IN-PERSON--

- I TALK TO THEM 15 TIMES A DAY.

WE GOT A CONFERENCE CALL ON FRIDAY, A FOLLOW-UP ON MONDAY.

THEY'LL BE FINE.

- IT'S NOT THE SAME OVER THE PHONE.

- I PROMISE YOU, I'M ON TOP OF IT.

IF I WERE ANY MORE ON TOP OF IT,

THEY'D GET A RESTRAINING ORDER.

- [laughs] - PLUS, I GOT THIS, UH--

THIS FAMILY THING I CAN'T GET OUT OF.

- OH.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. IF YOU'RE SURE.

- TRUST ME.

IF I FEEL IT'S NECESSARY, I WILL FLY OUT--PROMISE.

- ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

IT'S YOUR CASE, YOUR CALL.

- OKAY, SO...

BY POPULAR VOTES BY OUR ESTEEMED CLASSMATES,

THE THEME FOR THIS YEAR'S PROM IS...

DRUMROLL, PLEASE. [all tapping hands quickly]

- [chuckles]

- ROCK THE HOUSE CLASSIC ROCK THEME.

CONGRATS. - CONGRATULATIONS.

- THAT SUCKS. THAT'S JUST STUPID.

- VAMPIRE PROM IS WHAT SUCKS.

- WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME?

- UM, NOTHING. I JUST MEANT THAT, LIKE...

- SHE WAS JUST TRYING TO MAKE A JOKE.

YOU KNOW, VAMPIRES SUCK. GET IT?

- YEAH, I GET IT, BUT SHE'S THE JOKE.

- OKAY, CHLOE, CHILL. - NO, YOU CHILL.

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'D SERIOUSLY JUST--

- CHLOE.

CHLOE.

- I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T MEAN TO--

- YOU DON'T HAVE TO APOLOGIZE. SHE'S JUST A LITTLE TOUCHY.

OKAY, GUYS, LET'S, UH, WRAP IT UP FOR TODAY.

PROM'S RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER,

SO I THINK WE NEED TO START MEETING ON THE WEEKENDS

TO GET EVERYTHING DONE.

SO LET'S TRY TO MAKE SOME TIME, OKAY?

SEE YOU LATER.

- WANT TO ROLL? - YEAH, DEFINITELY.

- I'M EXCITED. - I KNOW.

IT'S GONNA BE SO FUN. - GREAT MEETING, RIGHT?

- YEAH, DEFINITELY. - I CAN'T WAIT.

- HEY, MOM, IT'S ME.

NO, NO, I'M--I'M FINE.

IT'S JUST DAD DIDN'T SHOW UP AGAIN, SO...

CAN YOU--CAN YOU COME PICK ME UP?

OKAY.

OH, WAIT. NEVER MIND. HE'S COMING.

OKAY.

OKAY.

OKAY. BYE.

[door unlocks]

- HEY, SORRY. FRIDAY TRAFFIC.

PLUS, I HAD TO RUN AN ERRAND. READY TO GO?

- DAD, I'VE BEEN READY FOR OVER AN HOUR.

- NO, YOU HAVEN'T. - YES, I HAVE.

- YOU HAVEN'T. YOU COULDN'T BE.

YOU COULDN'T POSSIBLY BE READY TO GO...

NOT UNTIL YOU OPEN THIS.

- WHAT IS IT?

- IT'S JUST SOMETHING YOU NEED...

WHEN YOU GO SKATING.

- OH.

OH, WOW.

- LIKE 'EM? - YEAH, I DO.

- COOL. YOU WANT TO GO SKATING?

- YES.

- [chuckles]

LOOKING GOOD. YOU LOOK GREAT OUT THERE.

- THANKS. - VERY NICE.

ARE YOU OKAY? ARE YOU OKAY?

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. YOU'RE GOOD.

OKAY. [chuckles]

- OKAY, THAT'S GOOD. - ALL RIGHT.

- SMILE.

- LOOKS GOOD. - NOT BAD AT ALL.

EXTRA WHIPPED CREAM AND SPRINKLES, RIGHT?

- YES. GOOD MEMORY.

- SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE, NO MATTER HOW OLD YOU GET.

- THANKS, DAD.

THIS REALLY WAS FUN.

- IT WAS FUN. - YEAH.

- I MAY NEED AN MRI IN THE MORNING,

BUT IT WAS WORTH IT.

COME ON. - OKAY.

- WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO TOMORROW?

- UM, DON'T YOU HAVE WORK TOMORROW?

- WELL, YEAH, IN THE MORNING.

BUT THEN I'M FREE FROM LUNCH ON.

- WELL, WHAT ABOUT YOUR BAND?

- I THINK WE'RE GONNA TAKE A LITTLE BREAK.

- WHY? YOU LOVE PLAYING.

- YEAH, I KNOW, BUT I JUST WANT TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH YOU.

- OH, IT'S--IT'S REALLY-- IT'S OKAY.

YOU CAN INVITE THEM OVER.

YOU'VE NEVER SEEMED SO RELAXED BEFORE.

- YEAH? REALLY? - YEAH, YEAH, IT'LL BE FUN.

I'LL COME DOWN AND LISTEN TO YOU GUYS.

MORNING, ROCK STAR. - STOP.

- YOU DOING HOMEWORK ALREADY? - UH, NO.

CAN I USE YOUR PRINTER?

I HAVE TO PRINT UP ALL THESE FORMS

SO I CAN SIGN UP FOR DRIVING LESSONS

AND A LEARNER'S PERMIT.

- DRIVING LESSONS--WOW. YOU REALLY ARE 16, AREN'T YOU?

- YEAH. LAST TIME I CHECKED.

- HAVE YOU EVER ACTUALLY DRIVEN?

- TAKE A DEEP BREATH.

GOOD.

YOU'RE DOING GREAT. JUST RELAX.

YOU DON'T NEED TO GRIP THE STEERING WHEEL SO TIGHT.

- OKAY. - OKAY. GOOD.

NOW START SLOWING DOWN AND GET READY TO TURN.

- WHICH WAY? - UH, WELL, LET'S GO LEFT.

- OKAY.

- PUT YOUR BLINKER ON. - I DID.

- OKAY.

OH, MY GOD.

- KAREN?

[knock at door] - COME IN.

- HEY.

YOU OKAY?

- YEAH. I JUST THINK I'LL STAY IN HERE

FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

THIS IS JUST THE UNIVERSE'S WAY OF TELLING ME

THAT I REALLY SHOULD ESCAPE TO MICHIGAN NEXT YEAR.

- NO, YOU SHOULDN'T.

YOU KNOW, I THINK MAYBE I SHOULD LEAVE DRIVER'S ED

TO THE PROFESSIONALS.

- IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT. I WAS JUST...

JUST BEING AN IDIOT.

- NO, YOU WEREN'T. YOU PANICKED A LITTLE BIT.

IT WAS YOUR FIRST TIME OUT.

- I MEAN, SERIOUSLY, RIGHT UP TO THE POINT

WHERE YOU ALMOST KILLED THE BOY YOU LIKED,

YOU WERE DOING REALLY WELL. - [laughs]

DID YOU SEE THE LOOK ON HIS FACE?

- [chuckles] - [chuckles]

- AH.

WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON?

- UM, IT'S NOT REALLY WORK.

IT'S--IT'S MORE LIKE A JOURNAL.

- HELP YOU FIGURE THINGS OUT?

- YEAH, IT'S MOSTLY POETRY AND STUPID STUFF LIKE THAT.

- REALLY? YOU WRITE POETRY?

- YEAH. PRETTY DUMB, HUH?

- NO, NOT AT ALL. I THINK IT'S GREAT.

I USED TO WRITE POETRY. - REALLY?

- YEAH. IT'S HOW I, UH...

IT'S HOW I STARTED WRITING LYRICS FOR THE BAND.

- YOU WROTE THE SONGS FOR THE BAND?

- YEAH, MOST OF THEM.

I MEAN, RONNY WROTE SOME FOR A WHILE,

BUT THERE'S ONLY SO MANY "I'M SO GREAT,

HOW COME THE CHICKS DON'T DIG ME?" POWER BALLADS

THAT ANY GARAGE BAND NEEDS.

- RIGHT.

- SO IF YOU EVER WANT A SECOND OPINION

OR SOME FEEDBACK...

- THEY'RE NOT VERY GOOD.

- I GET THAT THEY'RE PERSONAL,

BUT I'D BE HAPPY TO READ THEM IF YOU WANT TO SHOW THEM TO ME.

- OKAY, THANKS.

AND THANK YOU FOR TRYING. IT MEANS A LOT TO ME.

- I LOVE YOU, SWEETHEART.

- I DON'T HATE YOU, DADDY.

I'M SORRY I SAID THAT BEFORE. - THANK YOU.

- CHLOE. CHLOE, WAIT.

- I DON'T EVEN THINK YOU UNDERSTAND

HOW IMPORTANT THIS PROM IS TO ME.

- I-I-I GUESS I DON'T.

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE GONNA BE THIS UPSET.

I WASN'T-- I CAN'T READ YOUR MIND.

- WELL, WHY DON'T YOU JUST PAY ATTENTION

AND TRY TO CARE MORE?

- I'M DOING ALL THE CARING I CAN.

- [scoffs]

- HEY. - HEY.

- HI. UM...

I JUST--I WANTED TO SAY THAT I WAS SORRY

ABOUT, UM, THE WHOLE LAWN THING.

- [chuckles] DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

- IT WAS MY FIRST TIME OUT,

AND I HIT THE GAS INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE.

IT WAS STUPID.

- MY FIRST TIME OUT, I TOOK MY MOM'S BRAND-NEW LEXUS,

AND I BACKED IT INTO A TELEPHONE POLE.

- OUCH. - YEAH, OUCH IS RIGHT.

IT TOOK ALL THE MONEY I SAVED ALL SUMMER TO PAY FOR IT.

- WOW, THAT SUCKS. - YEAH, IT SUCKS.

[school bell rings]

YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO HAVE ANY IDEAS WHERE WE CAN MEET

FOR PROM COMMITTEE THIS WEEKEND?

THEY'RE HAVING AN ART SHOW HERE,

AND THIS WHOLE PLACE IS BOOKED.

- CAN I? - ABSOLUTELY.

YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNNY. THE FASHIONS CHANGE.

BUT OTHER THAN THAT, LOOKS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME

AS WHEN I WENT HERE.

- MAYBE IT'S NOT AS BAD AS I THOUGHT HERE.

- YEAH?

- YEAH.

FORGET MICHIGAN. I'LL GO TO SCHOOL HERE AT HOME.

- LOVE YOU. - I LOVE YOU TOO.

[engine turning]

- MORNING, STU.

- MORNING. - WHAT'S GOING ON?

- WELL, THAT'S WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW.

WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU, MAX?

- EXCUSE ME?

- YOU COME IN LATE. YOU LEAVE EARLY.

- I TAKE WORK HOME.

LOOK, I'M--I'M JUST DEALING

WITH SOME FAMILY STUFF RIGHT NOW.

- MM-HMM. AND IS THAT STUFF IMPORTANT ENOUGH

FOR YOU TO LOSE YOUR JOB OVER?

EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THE GARNETT DISCLOSURE DOCUMENTS

WERE NOT FILED IN COURT AT 8:00 THIS MORNING.

- BECAUSE GARNETT ISN'T...

MY GOD, IT'S THE 18TH.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT TO FILE.

- MAX, THIS IS A MAJOR SCREWUP.

- [scoffs] I KNOW. I KNOW.

LOOK, I'M GONNA MAKE IT RIGHT.

- ARE YOU?

BECAUSE THIS IS THE KIND OF THING THAT LOSES CLIENTS.

AND GARNETT IS ONE CLIENT THAT WE CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE,

NOT IN THIS ECONOMY.

- OH, MY GOD.

- ALL RIGHT, LOOK, LOOK.

BILLY GARNETT IS A FRIEND OF MINE FROM COLLEGE.

I CALLED HIM LAST NIGHT.

BUT THERE'S SOMETHING YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO, MAX.

- WHATEVER IT TAKES.

- NOW, GARNETT'S HEADQUARTERS ARE IN NEW YORK.

- NEW YORK. - YES.

NOW, YOU BOOK A FLIGHT TONIGHT--

NO LATER THAN TOMORROW.

- FOR HOW LONG? - UNTIL YOU WIN THE CASE.

- THAT COULD BE MONTHS.

LOOK, STU, COME ON... [stammering]

WHAT ABOUT ALL THESE OTHER CASES?

- YEAH, WELL, YOU JUST OFFLOAD ANYTHING

THAT CAN BE DONE LOCALLY TO CARVER.

HE CAN HANDLE IT.

MAX...

YOU DON'T HAVE ANY CHOICE HERE.

THIS IS YOUR ONLY PLAY.

- THIS IS REALLY WEIRD, DAD.

- IT'S JUST WHAT I HAVE TO SAY IS REALLY DIFFICULT,

AND I WANT TO GET IT RIGHT.

- OKAY, WELL, NOW YOU'RE JUST FREAKING ME OUT.

WHAT'S WRONG?

- I HAVE TO GO TO NEW YORK FOR WORK,

AND I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I'M GONNA BE THERE.

- NEW YORK?

- THIS IS JUST COMPLETELY OUT OF MY HANDS.

THERE'S THIS BIG CLIENT.

THEY'RE THREATENING TO PULL THEIR ACCOUNT.

AND THIS IS A HUGE ACCOUNT.

I-I-I HAVE TO STAY ON TOP OF THIS.

- SO YOU'RE NOT GOING TO PLAY AT PROM?

- I'M SO SORRY.

- YOU'RE SORRY?

- YEAH, I'M--I'M SORRY. WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY?

KAREN, PLEASE DON'T WALK AWAY FROM ME.

- ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU'RE DOING TO ME?

- WELL, I'M--I'M SURE IT FEELS LIKE THAT RIGHT NOW.

LOOK, THE HARD TRUTH IS, IF I DON'T GO TO NEW YORK,

I'M FIRED.

LOOK, I WOULD LOVE TO BE AT PROM.

I REALLY WOULD, BUT PROM IS ONE NIGHT.

THIS IS MY JOB.

THIS IS HOW I PAY FOR MY LIFE

AND YOUR LIFE AND YOUR MOTHER'S LIFE, TOO,

FOR THAT MATTER.

YOU WANT TO GO TO COLLEGE?

YOU WANT TO GET MARRIED,

HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING SOME DAY?

YOU NEED HELP PAYING FOR YOUR FIRST HOUSE?

I MEAN, WE HAVE TO SACRIFICE TO AFFORD THOSE THINGS.

- I DON'T NEED ANY OF THOSE THINGS, DAD.

ALL THAT I NEED RIGHT NOW IS YOU.

[crying] - OH, NO. DON'T.

DON'T CRY.

PLEASE...

TRY TO UNDERSTAND.

- I DO UNDERSTAND, DAD.

I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE NEVER REALLY GOING TO CHANGE.

- OKAY. COME ON, STAND UP. LET'S SEE.

TURN AROUND.

YOU ARE GORGEOUS.

- I KIND OF FEEL LIKE A DESIGNER LAMB

HEADED FOR SLAUGHTER.

- I PROMISE YOU, RYAN WILL TAKE ONE LOOK AT YOU IN THIS DRESS,

HE'S GONNA FORGET ALL ABOUT THAT BAND NONSENSE.

AT LEAST THEY FOUND A REPLACEMENT.

- NO, MOM. CHLOE FOUND A REPLACEMENT.

AND IT'S A DJ WHO'S PROBABLY GOING TO SUCK.

- AND YOU'RE STUNNING.

TAKE IT FROM ME, WHEN A BOY SEES A GORGEOUS GIRL,

NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.

PROMISE ME YOU'LL HAVE FUN TONIGHT NO MATTER WHAT.

- OKAY. - YOU DESERVE IT.

- THANK YOU.

I LOVE YOU.

- OH, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, SWEETIE.

OH, MY GOODNESS.

VISION OF BEAUTY.

[airplane engine roaring]

- YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE.

THIS IS THE LAST BOARDING CALL FOR FLIGHT 52 TO NEW YORK'S JFK.

ANY REMAINING PASSENGERS PLEASE PROCEED TO GATE 29.

AGAIN, THIS IS THE LAST CALL FOR FLIGHT 52

TO NEW YORK'S JFK OUT OF GATE 29.

[indistinct chatter]

[feedback whines]

[CD skipping]

[feedback whines]

- HEY.

NICE BAND YOU GOT US HERE.

- [taps microphone] HEY, EVERYONE.

AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD SOME PROBLEMS

WITH OUR MUSIC THIS EVENING AND SOME TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
