ClipZone: Sitcoms
0:00 Axel, where have you been?
0:02 Have you even gone over the note cards we are presenting first today?
0:05 First.
0:06 Come down, school, Sue.
0:06 I'll practice during the announcements.
0:08 It's the Axel method.
0:09 No, that is the failing the class method.
0:11 Just stick to the note cards and follow my lead.
0:13 No improvising.
0:14 Let me get your apron.
0:18 Oh no.
0:19 Oh no.
0:20 Oh no.
0:23 What?
0:23 I grabbed the wrong bag.
0:24 This is your stupid stuff.
0:27 Oh my god.
0:29 Oh my god, we're dead.
0:31 Everything was in there.
0:32 The paper, the resume, the note cards, the menus, the aprons,
0:35 the note reminding me to get the food for the class out of the fridge.
0:39 I gave you one job to do.
0:41 YOU GAVE ME EVERY JOB.
0:48 OKAY, that's it.
0:49 We're going to get an F.
0:50 I'm a kid who gets Fs now.
0:52 That's who I am.
0:54 Maybe I'll just get a tattoo.
0:55 That's it.
0:56 You're just going to give up?
0:57 Oh my god.
0:57 What is your problem?
0:58 It's not even due yet.
0:59 We got like 5 minutes.
1:00 We can do this.
1:03 Hey, Steve.
1:04 What's up?
1:05 What up, X?
1:06 Not much.
1:06 Hey, remember that time at the lake I introduced you to Lindsay Sullivan?
1:09 How's that going, dude?
1:10 She's my girlfriend now.
1:12 I owe you one.
1:13 Yeah, you do.
1:14 And don't forget that.
1:17 Okay.
1:24 All right.
1:25 Hey, Michelle.
1:26 Need a favor?
1:28 Okay, I'm looking forward to hearing everyone's presentations.
1:32 We don't have a lot of time, so let's get started.
1:34 Let's see.
1:35 Sue Hec signed up to go first.
1:38 Hi, this is Michelle with your morning announcements.
1:40 But first, will Axel Hec please report to the office?
1:44 Well, Axel, we had a presentation ordered,
1:46 but if you can find someone who'd be willing right here, I'll switch.
1:50 Okay, Steve, you and your partner go first.
1:52 Axel, you can go to the office, but make it quick.
1:58 The class was called Life Skills, and Axel sure put his to good use.
2:01 Hey, Erica, look at you making posters.
2:04 You're crazy good.
2:06 Thanks.
2:05 You know what?
2:06 I could use one of these.
2:07 But Alan, hug, what's up, buddy?
2:10 You can like hack into people's computers, right?
2:12 Cuz there's this paper on my sister's computer.
2:14 Password is I heart trying.
2:16 So, you see, there are many aspects to a dry cleaning business.
2:19 Tagging, treatment, pressing, tailoring, collection, and design.
2:23 That That's business class, isn't it?
2:25 Yeah.
2:25 It's so boring.
2:27 I bet.
2:27 You know what can be fun for you?
2:30 Hey, Bernice.
2:31 Nice work on the tater tots yesterday.
2:33 You happy with this?
2:34 I need a favor.
2:43 Okay, it's time for our final presentation.
2:50 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
2:51 Where you going, Mr.
2:52 Heck?
2:52 What's all this?
2:53 Hey, Principal Cameron.
2:54 I'm actually on my way to my life skills presentation and sort of late.
2:58 So I see.
2:58 Well, do you sort of have a hall pass?
3:00 Cuz if not, you're going to sort of need
3:02 to roll that cart all the way down to detention.
3:09 Oh, here it is.
3:10 Must have been in my back pocket.
3:11 You know, you might want to turn those into badges
3:13 so you can clip them right here or here.
3:17 All right, get to class, huh?
3:19 I like the badge idea.
3:21 You're sharper than you look.
3:24 Yes.
3:26 Sue, where's Axel?
3:30 Ladies and gentlemen, the axe is back.
3:38 Hey.
3:38 Oh, Sue dropped a resume, silly.
3:41 That have been a mess.
3:42 Perfect.
3:45 Okay.
3:45 And do you have your report?
3:47 Of course.
3:48 And it's 10 pages.
3:50 Actually, 11.
3:51 Hope that's okay.
4:03 Hello, this is Sue.
4:05 My name is Axel and we will be your chefs today.
4:18 Imagine yourselves in an Italian restaurant.
4:21 How do you think something like this comes together?
4:24 I don't know.
4:26 Thank you, Sue, for expressing what we're all thinking.
4:29 I don't know.
4:31 Dad, should I use pink glitter or purple?
4:33 Pink or purple?
4:35 Just use glue something.
4:37 Slap some glitter on it.
4:38 And there are no wrong answers.
4:41 Brick's dad.
4:41 Brick's dad.
4:42 I ran out of glue.
4:44 Well, you got plenty on your hands there.
4:46 If you run out of that, there's more on my shirt.
4:48 Hey, look out.
4:49 Lot of glue hands.
4:51 Ew, gross.
4:51 Dale,
4:54 I can't get these scissors to work.
4:57 Oh, Brick.
4:57 Cutting's hard for you, isn't it?
4:59 Here, let me help you.
5:03 Hey, we don't get too many dads in here.
5:05 How you holding up?
5:06 Oh, you know, it's good chance to see the kids and everything.
5:10 It's a nightmare, isn't it?
5:11 I'm this close to pulling a fire alarm.
5:13 Which one's yours?
5:15 Autumn Wagner.
5:16 Oh, yeah.
5:18 You know, I think Brick's got a crush on her.
5:24 Oh, that's so cute.
5:29 Dad blabbed to Autumn's mom that I like Autumn.
5:32 She told Autumn and now everything's wrecked.
5:36 Nothing's wrecked.
5:38 I'm done.
5:38 Thanks a lot, Dad.
5:40 There's no advice on the candy heart that can fix this.
5:46 What?
5:46 I was making chitchat.
5:49 Since when do you make chitchat?
5:51 I don't know.
5:51 I This mom spoke to me, so I spoke back.
5:55 Oh, hang on.
5:56 Was it Pilates, Mom?
5:58 I don't know.
5:59 She seemed fit.
6:00 What' she look like?
6:01 I don't know.
6:02 Ponytail, green eyes.
6:04 You notice the color of her eyes?
6:07 What color are my eyes?
6:10 They change with the weather.
6:12 Wrong, Mike.
6:12 Brown.
6:13 Always brown.
6:14 Rain, snow, sle, or hail.
6:16 Brown.
6:16 Brown.
6:16 Brown.
6:17 Well, she approached me.
6:18 Yeah.
6:19 Well, when you go back to do the Valentine party, just remember, do your time.
6:23 No chitchat.
6:24 Wait, back?
6:25 What do you mean back?
6:26 You only did the Valentine box.
6:28 Now you have to do the Valentine delivery for Valentine's Day.
6:30 Think.
6:31 I guess I didn't realize that when I signed up.
6:34 Or it could be the fact that I never signed up.
6:37 Well, maybe if I had a ponytail and stretch pants,
6:40 you wouldn't be giving me so much crap.
6:41 It was a jogging suit.
6:43 What am I wearing right now?
6:45 Um, your eyes are brown.
6:49 Mr.
6:50 Heck, this line Valentine just has a question mark on it.
6:53 Is it from Brick?
6:56 Uh, Mike didn't want to make any more trouble for Brick.
6:59 So, nah, it doesn't look like Brick's handwriting,
7:03 but it sort of looks like that kid's over there.
7:11 Dad, what did you say to Anna?
7:14 Why is she hugging Jake while holding my Valentine?
7:18 I was trying to help you out by telling her my Valentine was from Jake.
7:22 This is a disaster.
7:24 How did you ever land mom?
7:25 You know nothing about women.
7:28 Look, I thought Fine, I'll fix it.
7:32 Hey, Autumn.
7:33 Um, you know what?
7:34 Uh, this card, it is from Brick.
7:37 Nuh-uh.
7:38 It's for me.
7:40 Uh, come on, Jake.
7:41 You know it's not yours.
7:43 Yeah, it is.
7:44 Okay, Jake.
7:44 I don't want to call you a liar,
7:46 but I think we both know what the truth is here.
7:49 Okay, maybe it's time for a little handwriting analysis.
7:52 Here's one of yours.
7:53 Hey, now I only have 11 Valentine.
7:55 I'm just borrowing it.
7:57 This
7:58 Hey, well, break dad took one of mine.
8:00 Now I have less Valentine.
8:01 I'm going to give it back.
8:02 Hang on.
8:02 You can have one of mine, Heather.
8:04 You like Heather?
8:04 I thought you liked me.
8:06 He does LIKE ME.
8:07 NOBODY LIKES ME.
8:09 HEY.
8:10 OH.
8:10 ALL RIGHT.
8:11 Because you yelled at me.
8:12 I'm stuck in your mailbox.
8:15 Hey.
8:15 HEY.
8:15 HEY.
8:15 HEY.
8:16 ALL RIGHT.
8:17 THAT'S IT.
8:18 THAT'S IT.
8:18 WE'RE SHUTTING it down.
8:19 The party's over.
8:21 Here we go.
8:22 You guys shouldn't be celebrating Valentine's Day anyway because
8:26 it's a scam cooked up by the greeting card companies.
8:28 You know what you should be doing?
8:30 You should be studying cuz guess what they're doing in China right now?
8:33 They are doing math and they're learning how to be CEOs of greeting
8:37 card companies so they can sell us Americans a heart-shaped load of crap.
8:51 Banned.
8:55 Hey, no cuts.
8:56 You're behind my backpack.
8:57 It's holding my place.
8:59 Sorry, there's no holding places.
9:01 Well, put it back.
9:03 It's my helper backpack.
9:04 I'm very injured.
9:05 No, you're not.
9:06 You're just lazy.
9:07 I saw you vault over two trash cans on your way in here.
9:11 Are you saying I'm faking?
9:13 This is real.
9:14 I might be out for the whole rest of the football season.
9:16 Everyone's freaking out.
9:17 Oh, yeah.
9:18 Me, too.
9:19 I'm just hiding it behind not caring at all.
9:22 Well, I probably don't care about whatever it is you do either.
9:25 So, actually, I'm co-founder of the Green Club photographer on the school paper.
9:30 Axel Heck, your assigned tutor is Cassidy Finch.
9:34 Well, great.
9:34 I see you two have already started to get to know one another.
9:38 Oh, and in my spare time, I tutor dumb jocks.
9:44 So, your score of zero out of 20 on the quiz makes
9:47 it pretty clear that you read nothing about the Bay of Pigs invasion.
9:51 Well, in my defense,
9:52 I was totally sitting down to read this when
9:54 the guys called me and invited me to the lake.
9:56 Everyone was there.
9:57 And PS, awesomeness ensued.
10:00 Why didn't you go?
10:01 See, this is why I hate high school.
10:02 All everyone does is go to lame parties.
10:04 And for your information, I had to study.
10:06 And so should you.
10:07 You have a test tomorrow.
10:08 No.
10:08 The teacher said yesterday it was the day after tomorrow.
10:13 Wow.
10:13 God does not give with both hands.
10:16 And that means what?
10:17 It means attractive people are usually not that bright.
10:21 You think I'm attractive?
10:23 I didn't mean it that way.
10:25 Okay.
10:25 Um, so where was I?
10:26 The Bay of Pigs, right?
10:28 It's important cuz um, it was a crucial moment in history.
10:31 I mean, those three days were fraught with confusion and tension.
10:34 JFK had only been in office a couple of months.
10:37 He barely knew what he was doing.
10:38 And yet, he knew he had to take bold action.
10:40 He deployed.
10:46 How you like high school now?
10:50 Seriously?
10:50 Oh my god, I have to go.
10:52 What?
10:52 Oh, you reviving me all these signals and you were saying that you
10:55 never go to parties and you're talking about tension and deployment and stuff.
10:57 What was I supposed to do?
11:06 Oh, hey.
11:10 Hey.
11:10 Um, look, I know I'm the last person you want to see,
11:14 but uh I just want to let you know I got a B on that government test.
11:20 Really?
11:21 That's great, Axel.
11:22 Nice job.
11:24 Yeah.
11:24 Um, I know things are kind of weird between us now because of that kiss thing.
11:29 So, I get it if you don't want to tutor me anymore.
11:32 It was lame of me.
11:34 You hated it.
11:35 Sorry.
11:36 And stuff.
11:36 Um, so just to recap, me lame.
11:41 Bye.
11:42 I didn't hate it.
11:46 You didn't?
11:47 No.
11:47 Um, actually, it was kind of pleasant.
11:51 But the thing is, I have a boyfriend.
11:53 He's away at college, so it's moot.
11:57 Cool.
11:57 Cool.
11:58 Yeah.
11:59 Um, uh, yeah.
12:01 Well, if you ever break up with that moot guy, let me know.
12:09 This is Samantha Lynn for Shucker News.
12:12 And clear.
12:17 Your Rs are really good.
12:18 They make the Q cards easy to read.
12:20 Oh, yeah.
12:22 Wow.
12:22 Thanks.
12:23 I call them Sue cards.
12:28 What?
12:27 Cuz of my name, Sue.
12:30 Sue cards instead of Q cards.
12:34 Oh, okay.
12:34 I get it.
12:36 Okay.
12:36 Well, see you tomorrow, Qard girl.
12:41 And I mean, Samantha didn't have to compliment me, but she just did.
12:46 She sounds nice.
12:47 She is.
12:47 She's nice.
12:48 She's so nice.
12:51 So, where should we sit?
12:53 There's a clear pecking order in middle school,
12:55 and nowhere is it more obvious than in the cafeteria.
12:59 There's the A table, the B table, the C table, and the D table.
13:07 So, every day, Sue and Carly asked themselves the same question,
13:10 and every day they came up with the same answer.
13:13 Let's just walk around.
13:15 I know it's not an actual sport,
13:17 but being on the news team really does feel like you're on a team.
13:21 And Samantha is nice.
13:23 So nice.
13:25 Oh my god.
13:26 You know what?
13:27 You should totally make a run for the B table.
13:31 Really?
13:31 But I've never even sat at the D or C table.
13:34 Yeah, but you said she's nice, right?
13:36 So nice.
13:37 Well, there's only a few weeks left in junior high.
13:40 Can you imagine entering high school as B table people?
13:44 It would be great to be able to sit down.
13:52 Okay, let's do it.
13:59 Maybe we'll start tomorrow.
14:01 Okay, this time I do a butterfly.
14:04 I land briefly, say something clever, flit away.
14:10 Oh, hey, tater tots.
14:12 What's the deal with them, right?
14:19 Okay, now I do the blending.
14:21 Don't say more than 20 seconds.
14:23 It's too risky.
14:27 It's just not fair because I do the news team, I do tennis,
14:30 I do all this stuff and I don't really have time to do everything.
14:34 So, what's everybody doing this summer?
14:46 She stayed too long.
14:47 I didn't think anybody was going to talk to me, so I choked.
14:50 Maybe we can save this.
14:51 What' you say?
14:52 I told her I had to poop.
14:54 It wasn't a total lie.
14:56 I kind of do.
14:58 But I always kind of do.
14:59 I think it's middle school.
15:03 You sure you're ready?
15:05 Beyond ready.
15:33 Hi Samantha.
15:34 Hi guys.
15:35 Great newscast today.
15:36 Are you kidding?
15:37 Samantha totally messed up at the end.
15:39 You did not.
15:40 I totally did.
15:41 Instead of saying science report, I said science resort.
15:48 My parents corporate help.
15:51 Hey guys, look.
15:52 Now that all those cheerleaders got stripped,
15:53 there's a bunch of empty seats at the a table.
15:55 This could be our chance.
15:57 I mean, do go for it.
15:58 Can you imagine entering high school as members of the aid table?
16:01 Let's do it.
16:07 So, is this still the B table?
16:11 I'm not sure.
16:13 Probably not.
16:15 Want to walk around.
16:26 Axel, your backpack is crying.
16:30 Oh, again.
16:32 Now take care of this stupid baby thing for a week for health class.
16:36 They say they're teaching us about sexed.
16:38 What do babies have to do with sex?
16:40 They ruin it.
16:41 Yeah.
16:41 Well, there's some computer chip that keeps track of its mood,
16:44 how much it cries over the next week, how well I take care of it.
16:46 Supposed to teach me responsibility.
16:48 Okay, I'm going to go shoot some hoops with the guys later.
16:51 Whoa.
16:52 No, you're not allowed to have a baby and then go shoot hoops.
16:55 I tried.
16:56 You're on your own.
16:57 The next time your dad and I change a diaper, it'll be each other's.
17:00 Oh my god.
17:01 I can't believe you won't support me.
17:03 This is like 80% of my grade and I already failed personal hygiene.
17:06 Axel, that's not our How do you fail personal hygiene?
17:10 It's all politics.
17:11 Well, sorry.
17:12 We're not paying the price cuz you don't know how to work a washcloth.
17:15 Oh, nice grandparenting.
17:17 You know, this is what's wrong with society.
17:19 Your generation is so selfish.
17:22 Enjoy this time with the baby before it learns to talk.
17:34 Axel, give your baby a bottle.
17:37 That's not the bottle cry.
17:38 Little brick must have pooped himself.
17:41 Stop calling him that.
17:43 What?
17:43 You're his favorite uncle.
17:45 It's an honor to have him named after you.
17:47 I can't take it anymore.
17:50 I have a fire drill tomorrow.
17:52 If I'm going to keep my hands to myself
17:53 and line up in an orderly fashion, I need my sleep.
18:00 Want to have some fun, Roomie?
18:14 I was up all night.
18:15 I'm exhausted.
18:16 This baby never stops crying.
18:19 Can I just say this is my favorite homework assignment you've ever had.
18:26 What?
18:27 He likes it when I do this.
18:30 Why do kids become less annoying?
18:32 I'll let you know.
18:33 Now, my baby may not look like everyone else's,
18:36 but isn't that what makes America great?
18:39 That we can love people of all shapes and sizes.
18:43 This is the kind of country that I want to live in.
18:49 You know, I've done some research and homeschooling is not out of the question.
18:52 It is at this home.
18:54 What now, Brick?
18:55 Is this about the asbestous again?
18:56 Cuz I told you they got that down to acceptable levels.
18:59 Okay.
18:59 I'd be lying if I said I didn't have some concerns.
19:02 Not the least of which is I can't go to the bathroom.
19:05 Uh-uh.
19:05 No more quirks.
19:06 You're done.
19:07 It's not that.
19:08 Everyone knows if a sixth grader goes to the bathroom,
19:10 eighth graders wait in there to give him a swirly.
19:12 Brick, that's just a stupid legend that goes around.
19:14 That stuff doesn't really happen.
19:16 Mike, tell him.
19:16 Did you ever in your whole life get a swirly?
19:19 I didn't get them.
19:20 You'll be fine.
19:24 I can't take it.
19:25 I got to go.
19:26 Are you crazy?
19:27 You can't go to the bathroom.
19:28 Don't you know what happens to kids who go in there?
19:30 I heard there's an old eighth grader in there who never graduated.
19:33 And if you try to run from him,
19:34 your feet get stuck on the floor because of all the pee.
19:36 Well, I heard about someone getting a royal flush.
19:39 That's a double swirly.
19:41 He drank so much toilet water that eggs grew in his stomach.
19:44 And when he went to the hospital to get them removed from his stomach,
19:47 spiders crawled out.
19:51 As more tall tales of the bathroom swept through school,
19:53 Brick's quest to give up liquids continued.
19:56 He survived the track unit and gym class.
19:58 10 more laps.
19:59 And don't forget TO DRINK LOTS OF WATER.
20:01 IT'S HOT.
20:05 He survived science class where they were studying the sun.
20:13 But what he hadn't counted on was Miss Harvey's fifth period.
20:17 Today we are sampling foods from our neighbor to the south, Mexico.
20:22 Quidado.
20:23 The salsa is mui caliente.
20:26 That's Mexican for hot.
20:45 I can't hold it anymore.
20:47 I'm going to the bathroom.
20:49 No, you won't survive.
20:50 Want to punch me in the eye?
20:51 Then you can go to the vice principal's office and use his bathroom.
20:54 That's all the way to building A.
20:56 I'll never make it.
20:57 Building A.
20:59 Try sneaking in.
21:00 Maybe that way you won't draw attention to yourself.
21:04 No.
21:06 No sneaking.
21:08 We're sixth graders.
21:09 Yeah, we may not have hair on our arms or the courage to look a girl in the eye,
21:13 and we sometimes yearn for the days of scheduled nap time, but we're still men.
21:19 Small men, but men nonetheless.
21:22 And it's time to start acting like it.
21:26 So, Brick set out to go where no
21:28 sixth grader had ever gone before, the bathroom.
21:56 Hey, how's it going?
22:00 Hey That big kid came out and Brick didn't.
22:06 Something horrible's happened.
22:08 Maybe we should go in and help him.
22:09 You go.
22:10 Brick and I aren't that close.
22:21 So Brick was a hero,
22:22 admired and respected by his fellow classmates for about
22:25 10 seconds until summer's not officially on till my graduation
22:30 on Friday when you watch me accept my special
22:33 award presented by the principal in front of everyone.
22:37 Oh honey, well you certainly earned it.
22:41 Boy, did she earn it.
22:42 Sud set her sights on the perfect attendance award years ago,
22:46 and nothing was going to make her miss a day of school.
22:50 Here, I did it.
22:56 I put myself and countless others at risk, but it was worth it.
23:00 We're very proud.
23:04 Hi, Miss Jacobs.
23:05 I wanted to talk to you about Are you a new student?
23:08 No, I'm Sue.
23:10 Sue Heck.
23:10 I bring the lunch money report into you every morning from the main office.
23:14 I say, "Hi, Miss Jacobs.
23:16 Everything's here." And then I give you a little wave.
23:19 Really?
23:20 Huh?
23:21 So, anyway, I wanted to talk to you about my perfect attendance award.
23:24 Oh, hana, I'm sorry,
23:25 but no one's getting the perfect attendance award this year.
23:28 Nobody earned it.
23:30 Yes, somebody earned it.
23:31 I earned it.
23:32 My attendance was perfect.
23:38 Oh, I see the problem.
23:40 You were absent on October 13th.
23:42 You're not going to get anything at the ceremony,
23:44 but you should still congratulate yourself.
23:47 I spent my whole life congratulating myself.
23:49 I want other people to congratulate me.
23:52 Sorry.
23:53 Next.
23:55 No one else is here.
23:57 I know.
23:58 Nice meeting you.
24:03 Hey, Nurse Baylor.
24:05 Hi.
24:05 Are you a new student?
24:07 No, I'm Sue.
24:09 Sue, heck, I need to prove I was here October 13th.
24:12 I was in a red shirt cuz my gums
24:13 bleed and Alison Scott came in at the same time.
24:15 I love Allison Scott.
24:16 She's a spark plug, isn't she?
24:19 Yeah, she is.
24:20 So, anyway, you know, it's her birthday next week.
24:22 We're not that close.
24:24 So, anyway, she had really bad cramps,
24:26 so you asked if I could get her purse for her from the band room.
24:28 Well, I remember Allison getting the purse,
24:31 but for the life of me, I can't remember how.
24:34 I just told you how.
24:35 I brought it FROM THE BAND ROOM.
24:37 band teacher.
24:38 Mr.
24:39 Stevenson, I'm sorry.
24:41 And you are?
24:43 Uh, Sue.
24:44 Sue Hack.
24:45 And what do you play?
24:46 I don't play anything.
24:47 I'm the future perfect attendance award recipient.
24:50 But only if you can prove I was here on October 13th.
24:53 See, I went to the orthodontist and I'm a gum bleeder.
24:54 So, I went to the school nurse and then Allison Scott came in.
24:57 Oh, Allison Scott.
24:58 Great girl.
25:00 Yeah, she's awesome.
25:01 Anyway, so she left band practice, so I had to come in and get her purse.
25:04 Now that you say it, I do remember someone disrupting our practice.
25:09 We were getting ready for our fall concert.
25:11 That's right.
25:12 And you were taping it.
25:15 You were taping your rehearsal.
25:17 Mr.
25:17 Stevenson, please tell me you have that tape.
25:20 Stop.
25:21 I have evidence.
25:22 I have a tape.
25:25 Excuse me.
25:26 I'm here to get Allison Scott's purse.
25:29 Oh, sorry.
25:30 Just squeeze it back.
25:32 Excuse me.
25:33 Oh.
25:35 Oh.
25:35 Excuse me.
25:36 Sorry.
25:37 Pardon me.
25:48 You guys sound really good.
25:51 See?
25:51 See?
25:52 I was here.
25:53 October 13th, 2010.
25:56 Sue Hec was in the house.
25:59 Uh, congratulations.
26:05 There is one student who has never missed a single day of school.
26:09 One student who simply by showing
26:11 up has demonstrated incredible determination and commitment.
26:15 Trust me when I say it is rare
26:17 that I find a student with this much perseverance.
26:20 So, please join me in honoring
26:22 this amazing accomplishment and this amazing student.
26:26 This was it.
26:27 The moment she'd been waiting for.
26:29 The moment Sud finally get the recognition she deserved.
26:33 Our perfect attendance award recipient, Barb Hecky.
26:40 No.
26:41 Oh man, this can't happen.
26:42 They can't do this to her.
26:43 She's going to be crushed.
26:56 But she wasn't.
27:05 Then it hit me.
27:06 I may not remember exactly what happened on November 14th or March 12th
27:12 or whether I left the car running in the parking lot right now,
27:15 but the point is these are the moments you remember.
27:19 Well, maybe Mike could turn it off,
27:21 but I was too worked up to sleep, so I called my sister.
27:25 I mean, when a kid is smart as brick gets a D minus, something's wrong.
27:29 I called my mom.
27:30 When a kid is smart as brick gets a D minus, something's wrong.
27:34 And at 3:00 in the morning, I'd had enough talk.
27:44 Hey, what are you doing up so early?
27:46 I never came to bed.
27:46 I was too worked up.
27:48 So, I made a few phone calls.
27:49 I organized the junk drawer.
27:51 And then I fired off an email to the principal about Miss Rinsky.
27:56 You did what now?
27:57 Don't worry, it's good.
27:58 You want to hear it?
28:00 I made some very good points.
28:04 Dear Principal Lmer,
28:06 I'm writing to bring to your attention an issue of concern for me as a parent.
28:11 Huh?
28:12 It regards one of your teachers, Miss Rinsky.
28:15 I have tried repeatedly to have an open
28:17 dialogue with her about my son's education,
28:19 but she has been completely uncaring and dismissive.
28:22 Today, more than ever, don't we need teachers who are caring and missive?
28:27 Okay, that might not be the right word, but wait, it gets better.
28:31 Hey, her teaching skills in math don't add up.
28:36 Maybe because when she was born, the numbers only went up to 10.
28:41 I don't remember writing that.
28:42 But if you want if you want to schedule
28:44 a parent teacher conference with her, good luck.
28:47 Your best bet is scheduling it with the bartender at Beef Steak Charlie's.
28:50 Glug glug.
28:53 Uh-oh.
28:54 Is this the kind of teacher you want at your school?
28:57 One who instead of nurturing our children uses mind games and intimidation.
29:01 She would have made a fine Nazi.
29:04 Maybe she was.
29:05 What do we really know about her?
29:07 Oh my god.
29:09 What was I thinking?
29:10 How did this happen?
29:12 Sounds like beer happened.
29:13 I only had four.
29:15 You once picked a fight with your reflection after two.
29:19 Is there more?
29:20 No, that's it.
29:21 Sincerely, Frankie and Mike Hec.
29:23 What?
29:24 You signed my name?
29:25 Why would you sign my name?
29:27 Cuz this is your fault.
29:28 You've got me all pumped up by supporting me.
29:31 That's what husbands do.
29:33 Wives say they're going to do stuff and we listen and nod,
29:38 right?
29:38 That's being supportive.
29:40 No, that's avoiding a fight and getting to the TV faster.
29:44 I didn't think you were ever going to do anything.
29:47 As long as I've known you, you've been all talk and no action.
29:50 You found a rat's foot in a can
29:51 of chili and never got around to writing a letter.
29:53 I was just so mad at Miss Rinsky.
29:56 Why are you talking about Miss Rinsky?
29:58 It's nothing, honey.
29:59 Everything's fine.
30:00 Well, I love Miss Rinsky.
30:02 She's great.
30:03 She gives us candy when we get the answers right.
30:05 Yeah, I know you like Miss Rinsky, but she's not perfect.
30:08 Don't forget you got a D on that test.
30:10 Yeah, I'm thinking that might be because I only answered three questions.
30:14 How many questions were there?
30:18 45.
30:18 Rick, she said we could have free reading time when we finished the test,
30:22 so I finished in 5 minutes.
30:23 You're lucky you got a D.
30:25 I know Miss Rinsky is the best.
30:29 You are Amanda, right?
30:32 And you date Connor.
30:33 Now, this may seem abrupt,
30:35 but now that you're both seniors and going to college,
30:38 he feels it's a natural time to start seeing other people.
30:42 What?
30:42 He's very much enjoyed your time together,
30:43 but I'm afraid that time has come to an end.
30:46 And he would have been here himself, but he thought this was for the best.
30:49 I can't believe he's doing this.
30:51 What a jerk.
30:52 Don't despair.
30:53 You're a beautiful young lady with lots of love ahead of you.
30:56 Any guy would be lucky to have you.
30:58 Just not Connor.
31:01 I heard about your guy's service and I want to know my girlfriend,
31:03 but I don't want to hurt her feelings.
31:05 You come to the right place, Evan.
31:07 What am I signing?
31:08 Uh,
31:08 it's your standard release form saying we're not liable if anything goes wrong.
31:12 And that if your ex is hot, we, the members of Bosow,
31:14 reserve the right to ask her out after the appropriate 7-day waiting period.
31:20 Correction, 3-day waiting period.
31:22 Sorry, Rachel, but Spencer feels you two have grown apart.
31:26 It's never going to work.
31:31 We're sorry, Miss Pterack, but Mr.
31:33 Whiteitman thinks you guys are looking for different things.
31:35 You're too good for him anyway.
31:38 Really?
31:40 Definitely.
31:40 Now, could you go online and take a brief survey saying
31:42 you were broken up with in a kind and courteous manner?
31:44 Oh, and if you could take a moment to like us on Facebook,
31:46 that would also be great.
31:50 With Valentine's Day only 2 days away, the Boss Co.
31:54 breakup service was booming.
31:57 And nobody knew who was going to be next.
32:02 I can't take you to heaven.
32:06 I can't promise forever.
32:09 We got another.
32:11 Let's be grown up about this.
32:14 It'll all be over soon.
32:21 Aren't you tired of running, Emma?
32:23 I'm sorry, but you plus Kyle no longer equals forever.
32:30 Axel, I drove through campus so fast I didn't get
32:32 to see any of the fun stuff on my list.
32:34 The Life Science Plant and soil laboratory,
32:37 the Scandinavian Cultural Center, the Florence Henderson Library.
32:41 Not to worry, there's plenty to read here.
32:47 Hey, so just now I thought of this really funny game.
32:50 Uh, Pretend I'm an alien.
32:52 And I don't know anything about math.
32:53 And you got to make me understand it in like uh one day.
33:00 Go.
33:02 I thought you wanted to hang with your little bro.
33:04 Did you really just bring me here to help you study?
33:08 Why do I even ask anymore?
33:10 Okay, here's the thing, Brick.
33:12 I screwed up.
33:14 I screwed up big time.
33:16 And it's really, really bad.
33:17 I mean, I thought I was doing okay,
33:18 but three of my professors told me I had to drop their classes.
33:21 And if I drop three classes, I'll only have one left.
33:24 That's music appreciation, which everyone calls clap for credits,
33:27 and I'm barely passing that.
33:29 That doesn't make any sense.
33:30 Clapping is something you're actually good at.
33:32 I blame mom and dad cuz I don't know
33:35 if you know this, but I am completely unsupervised here.
33:38 No one tells me to go to class.
33:39 No one tells me to do my homework.
33:41 No one warns me that wearing your shower shoes in the snow is not a good idea.
33:45 Last week, I slept for two whole days.
33:47 Nobody woke me up.
33:48 I brushed my hair with a fork.
33:49 I always thought if mom and dad would just get off my back, I'd be fine.
33:52 But I need him, Brick.
33:54 I need him on my back.
33:56 Don't tell them I said that.
33:57 Can I tell them we saw a girl in her bra?
33:59 Tell them nothing.
34:00 I'm scared, Brick.
34:01 I'm really, really scared.
34:03 All my teachers told me it was impossible for me to pass this point,
34:06 but if you help me study this weekend, I know I can bring my grades up.
34:11 And I get this is all probably weird cuz
34:14 usually I'm a billion times more awesome than you.
34:16 But right now, I really, really, really need your help.
34:24 Okay.
34:25 I'm going to need a highlighter pen, goldfish crackers, and a 44 oz slushie.
34:29 Blue.
34:29 Oh, and clear your schedule.
34:31 It's going to be a long night.
34:37 All right.
34:37 Now, I'm going to need your math syllabus, your quizzes, and all your homework.
34:41 Okay.
34:41 Syllabus.
34:43 Syllabus.
34:44 Uh, syus.
34:48 Oh, is this it?
34:50 Also makes a great back scratcher.
34:52 Axel, that's a protractor.
34:54 What I need is your syllabus.
34:55 You know that piece of paper they give you at the beginning
34:57 of the year and it tells you what's going to be covered in class.
35:00 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
35:02 I don't have that.
35:05 Then just give me all the math homework you did.
35:08 Gotcha.
35:09 Let me just have a quick look around.
35:10 Um, okay.
35:13 Wait, hold on.
35:14 I'm going to be around here some Oh, here it is.
35:17 Uh, my math homework was in my philosophy folder,
35:21 which I may have turned into a paper airplane.
35:28 Axel, this is completely illeible.
35:30 Thank you.
35:31 Cuz my teacher said he couldn't even read it.
35:33 Oh, here we go.
35:35 Here's my notes I took in philosophy class.
35:37 Oh, they uh sort of reek.
35:40 Do I smell like that?
35:42 Why are there stars all over this?
35:43 Oh, I used that to mark down where all the hot shakes were sitting.
35:47 So, you did nothing.
35:48 Uh, I got Sarah's phone number.
35:51 I mean, look at where she was sitting compared to where I was sitting.
35:53 That was not easy.
35:57 Just really learned from my mistakes, break, that's a lot to learn.
36:00 Don't worry.
36:01 I know what we need to do.
36:06 Why is this so hard?
36:08 It's way too much work and I don't understand how to do any of it.
36:11 Honestly, it's not that complex.
36:13 I promise you'll get the hang of it.
36:15 See, this goes here and you're going
36:16 to want to put this information right up there.
36:21 And that is how you drop fundamentals of math.
36:26 Oh, I see.
36:26 Okay.
36:27 Hey, let me try and drop philosophy on my own.
36:30 But don't go anywhere cuz I might need you.
36:36 I did it.
36:37 Yes, I am kicking college's ass.
36:40 I am so nervous.
36:42 I am the director, producer, star, and I designed the programs.
36:47 This is what Ryan Serest must feel like every day.
36:51 Okay, come on.
36:52 Come on.
36:52 I can't be late.
36:55 Turn the thing off.
36:55 We're leaving.
36:57 You know, if you would have just let me play with this when I was little,
36:59 I would have been lost a long time ago.
37:02 Ironic, isn't it?
37:04 Okay, you're not going to believe this.
37:05 That was work.
37:06 Severe thunderstorms have shut down the Atlanta airport
37:08 and they want everybody on the phone to reroute passengers.
37:11 What?
37:11 But that means you're going to miss my play.
37:13 Mom, I don't think you're getting how big of a deal this is.
37:15 The vice principal and the nurse are going to be there.
37:18 So yeah, it's a huge deal.
37:20 Look, Sue, I'll be there.
37:21 It's It's just at this piece time and a half
37:23 and it's a new job and I got to do it.
37:25 You go and be great and I'll be there before the curtain goes up.
37:28 I promise.
37:29 Okay, but don't be late because if you miss
37:31 the opening dream dance within a dream dance sequence,
37:33 the rest of the play won't make sense.
37:46 Whose soccer is that?
37:48 It's the new girls.
37:49 I think her name is Savannah or something.
37:52 Have you talked to her?
37:54 I can't talk to her.
37:55 I'm quarterback of the football team.
37:58 Well, I can't talk to her.
37:59 I'm top cheerleader.
38:01 Look, somebody will talk to her.
38:03 Maybe some uncool kids.
38:05 Mhm.
38:06 The new girl's not really our problem.
38:14 God, I'm not even a part of this family anymore.
38:16 Why did I sit through Sue's lame place?
38:18 Cuz it's a big deal to your sister.
38:19 And for every hour you sit through it, you earn back a cushion.
38:25 I am bulimia.
38:26 You hear me through the bathroom wall, but you ignore me.
38:32 I am depression.
38:34 You give me a cinnamon roll and beg me to get off the couch.
38:38 I am negative thoughts.
38:39 You say you never have me.
38:41 Liar.
38:44 I am ADD medication prescribed by a doctor for your friend.
38:47 You will use me to concentrate for finals.
38:49 Fool.
38:50 Now you are mine.
38:51 Mine.
38:51 Mine.
38:52 Mine.
38:52 Mine.
38:52 Mine.
38:55 Yes.
38:55 Well, I hope all the yelling made you feel better.
39:02 I know.
39:02 I know.
39:03 I know I'm not there, but I am doing my best.
39:05 Well, Sue's asking for you.
39:07 Look, I'm trying, but the storm grounded like a million flights.
39:11 Well, you've already missed half the plane.
39:13 At least I hope it's half.
39:14 I understand your frustration, and I assure you,
39:16 I'm doing all I can to resolve this to your satisfaction.
39:20 Hey, don't be con blue me.
39:22 All right, I've got to go.
39:25 You know, Clark, I wish we would have reached out to Savannah.
39:29 Savannah's gone.
39:30 Forget about her.
39:31 instead feel the wind in your hair in my jeep.
39:35 Maybe I could Instagram Savannah.
39:37 It's too late, Skyler.
39:38 She left and now she's beyond help.
39:41 But not completely beyond help because she has hope.
39:45 But the point is, it happened.
39:48 And we will always always remember the lonliest locker.
39:55 I had a lonely locker.
39:58 I've had a lonely locker, too.
40:00 Have you?
40:01 or you or you.
40:03 We've all had the loneliest locker.
40:08 The lonliest locker.
40:10 Enough.
40:11 If we say hi to each other, high school won't be so tough.
40:14 And don't ignore somebody just cuz they're new.
40:17 Cuz that new could someday be you.
40:20 The lonliest locker forever open.
40:24 neverop.
40:34 Everybody come on down to the stage and hold hands with the person next to you.
40:37 Come on, don't be shy.
40:38 We got the place TILL MIDNIGHT.
40:40 COME ON EVERYBODY.
40:41 The lonest forever open to the combination for love.
40:55 And that's when America declared victory.
40:58 But I believe Ben Affleck put it best when he said,
41:01 "Those bastards will think twice before they bomb us again." Woo!
41:08 I'm done.
41:11 Hello.
41:14 Hello.
41:19 No.
41:19 No.
41:20 No.
41:20 No.
41:20 No.
41:20 No.
41:20 Don't be dead.
41:27 Whoa.
41:32 God.
41:32 How do people do this?
41:35 Uh, operator.
41:37 My god, this is taking forever.
41:39 This is the East Indiana State University operator system.
41:43 Yes.
41:43 Yes.
41:44 If you'd like to dial out, please press one.
41:46 To reach campus security, please press two.
41:50 I would very much like to do both of these things, but there's no buttons.
41:54 It's just some weird wheelie thing.
41:56 Oh, this photo is from the Flintstone.
41:59 Help.
42:01 Help.
42:06 Hey, dude.
42:08 So, you're trapped in here, too, huh?
42:11 So, I'm Axel.
42:13 I don't know who you are, so maybe I'll just call you LeBron.
42:18 Yep.
42:19 Looks like I'm stuck here till morning.
42:20 But it's cool.
42:21 Totally cool.
42:22 I have the gift of being able to fall asleep pretty much anywhere.
42:25 So yeah, night LeBron.
42:36 Hey.
42:42 All right.
42:43 I know.
42:44 I kind of freaked out back there.
42:45 But just so you know, I'm not that guy.
42:48 I haven't needed a nightlight in like 5 years.
42:51 So yeah, not scared of anything really.
42:56 I think I'm just not used to being alone.
42:59 Usually have my family or friends around.
43:02 I'm a super popular guy.
43:03 I mean, I don't know if feather salesmen were popular in your time.
43:06 I assume that's what you are, feather salesman.
43:09 But yeah, spending time alone is good, right?
43:12 I mean, you're alone with your thoughts.
43:14 So, what are my thoughts?
43:18 What are my thoughts?
43:21 Um, been thinking a lot about college lately.
43:26 Uh, well, more about what happens when college is over.
43:32 Cuz see, I'm a business major now, and I don't even really know what that means.
43:37 Uh, am I going to be a business man?
43:40 Am I going to go on business trips
43:42 with my briefcase and visit different branches of my business?
43:44 Or will I be one of those guys who owns some
43:46 kind of outdoor business and visits job sites in a cool windbreaker?
43:50 I just think maybe if I knew what I'd be wearing,
43:52 I could work backwards from there.
43:54 Cuz no one is telling me what I should do.
43:57 No one.
43:58 I mean, your whole life people are telling
43:59 you next year you're going to go to kindergarten,
44:00 then you're going to high school,
44:01 then you're going to college, and then bam,
44:03 people stop telling you what you're supposed to do
44:04 when you're supposed to just figure it out.
44:06 And all I know is my dad still ties my ties.
44:09 I mean, how am I supposed to be a businessman if I can't even tie my own ties?
44:18 The truth is, LeBron,
44:21 I'm not sure my awesomeness is going to translate into the real world.
44:25 Maybe I peaked.
44:30 I just I don't know anything about my future.
44:35 And then when I think about that, I'm scared, man.
44:42 I'm really scared.
44:47 So, Axel made it through his first real night alone.
45:04 Lates.
45:05 LeBron, library closes at 8.
45:10 Just so everybody knows,
45:13 I got detention.
45:15 What'd you do?
45:16 Overdecorate your locker?
45:18 No.
45:18 Remember how you're not allowed to leave campus at lunch?
45:20 Well, some kids were going to Arby's because they were serving
45:23 beanies and in the cafeteria that day and I got busted.
45:26 Did you guys sneak off campus?
45:30 Did I teach you nothing?
45:32 You always point to the person on your right.
45:34 This isn't funny, Axel.
45:36 I am going to have a permanent black mark on my record.
45:38 Plus, how am I supposed to tell mom and dad?
45:40 How?
45:41 Here's how you tell mom and dad.
45:43 What's that?
45:44 Charades?
45:44 You think I should tell them in a game so they won't be so mad?
45:47 No, you're not going to tell them at all.
45:51 What?
45:52 First, I'm breaking school bylaws and now
45:54 I'm withholding information from my parents.
45:56 Who am I?
46:03 Axel, there's been a development.
46:05 I know you're getting over there.
46:06 I don't need an update.
46:07 I'm looking right at you.
46:11 God.
46:13 Okay.
46:14 I just got an email from the school.
46:16 I didn't just get regular detention.
46:18 I GOT SATURDAY DETENTION.
46:20 WHOA.
46:20 OH, ON A first violation.
46:22 That is hardcore.
46:23 Yeah, they said cuz school's ending soon,
46:25 they're just throwing everyone in on a Saturday.
46:28 That means I am going to be in with the skateboarders,
46:30 the girl with the black lipstick,
46:31 people who wear t-shirts with offensive slogans.
46:34 Relax.
46:34 I've done a few Saturday tours.
46:36 Now, if you want to get out of there with both your eyebrows, listen and learn.
46:43 Okay.
46:44 Number one, do not bring that binder.
46:46 Number two, you're going to want to buy some protection.
46:48 So, you want to load up on the snacks, you know, goldfish, candy bars, Kit Kats.
46:52 They're great cuz you can break them up into fours and then I'll be okay.
46:56 Oh, no, no, no, no.
46:58 I'll be amazed if you survive.
46:59 But hey, at least your last meal will be candy.
47:04 I don't know what you people did to get in here.
47:07 I don't want to know.
47:09 Bottom line, you're on tink time now.
47:11 And that means no smoking, no texting, no sexing, no mexing.
47:17 Yeah, that's Mexican texting where you write stuff in Spanish
47:21 so you think I won't understand, but you do.
47:24 Are you taking notes?
47:26 No, not full notes, just bullet points.
47:30 I'm not a loser.
47:37 Goldfish.
47:38 All right, I got to go wait in the parking lot for my roommate, Carol.
47:42 She forgot her keys again.
47:45 Heck, get up here.
47:48 You're in charge while I'm gone.
47:51 Oh, no.
47:52 Oh, yeah.
47:53 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
47:54 Come on.
47:54 Come on.
47:54 Come on.
47:55 Chop chop.
47:56 Oh, no.
47:56 NO, NO.
47:57 OKAY, PEOPLE, GOOF OFF AT YOUR OWN peril
47:59 because Tink's taking 20 and Hex's taking names.
48:06 May I have your attention, please?
48:08 Um, I think everyone in here needs to settle down and follow the rules
48:11 so we can all just get out of here and do our time and leave.
48:14 I for one have my uncle Dutch visiting and I'm sure there are
48:17 plenty of family activities that you all would like to get home to.
48:20 What are you?
48:21 Some kind of suckup?
48:23 No, I'm not.
48:25 I am just like you.
48:27 I am bad.
48:29 I am a bad ass.
48:32 Now, I think we should all get through today so we
48:36 can get back to doing all the bad things we do.
48:41 Okay, people.
48:42 It is time to grow up.
48:43 I mean, seriously, some of you have kids.
48:46 Well, well, well.
48:48 I guess to you people,
48:49 stay in your seats means walk around coorting with your friends.
48:54 Heck, let me see that list.
48:58 Oh, okay.
48:58 So, that's how you're going to play it, huh?
49:00 Yeah.
49:01 I thought you'd sing like a canary, but you've given me nothing.
49:04 But I guess that's it.
49:05 Then you're all free to go because heck here thought it was more
49:09 important to protect her fellow delinquents than to do the job I gave her.
49:13 All right.
49:19 Are you crazy?
49:21 14 years of detention and not one student has ever written down a single name.
49:26 And you've got a whole list of them here.
49:27 Some some of them with three frowny faces.
49:30 I wanted to organize it for you.
49:31 I put it in order of severity of offense.
49:36 This might surprise you, but I like you, Heck.
49:40 You're an incredibly sweet, diligent, and conscientious person.
49:44 And that's the exact kind of crap that's going
49:46 to get you killed OUT IN THE REAL WORLD.
49:48 YOU GOT TO TOUGHEN UP, KID.
49:50 HUH?
49:50 Or you're going to become human mulch.
49:53 Have a great day.
49:55 I mean, what lady had a girl?
50:04 Who's your hair?
50:06 I live here.
50:08 Oh my god.
50:09 Oh, you're Holly Hack.
50:10 I'm Phil Hack.
50:15 I've been waiting for you forever.
50:17 So, where are you from?
50:18 I'm from Orson.
50:19 I used to have long hair, but now I don't.
50:20 I don't know if you like these posters,
50:22 but I have some extras for your side if you want.
50:24 No beer?
50:25 No.
50:25 But there's a hot fudge Sunday in there for you.
50:27 Anyway, it's so good you're finally here
50:29 because you almost missed all of freshman week.
50:31 Yeah.
50:31 Well, I'm a junior, so not really an issue.
50:34 Oh, that's kind of weird that they put a junior and a freshman together.
50:38 But hey, we can still go to the dorm mixer and the roommate games.
50:41 Yeah, nobody goes to those.
50:42 They're lame.
50:43 Oh, okay.
50:44 Well, that's the first time I've ever heard of an egg and spoon race being lame.
50:48 But that is a really good tip.
50:50 See, it's a great thing I've got a junior for a roomie.
50:54 You can show me the ropes.
50:56 Anything else I should know?
50:58 Yeah.
50:58 Okay.
50:58 Uh, let's see.
50:59 Freshman year sucks.
51:01 Sophomore year sucks.
51:02 I'll let you know about junior year, but it's not looking good.
51:04 I already got hosed in the housing lottery.
51:06 I asked for a single.
51:09 I'm going out.
51:15 Oh, hi.
51:16 You're back finally.
51:17 You know, one thing I was thinking might be helpful
51:19 is if we write where we are on the memo board.
51:21 That way, if someone is gone for a couple days,
51:23 nobody has to worry or call the police.
51:25 For instance, I'm here.
51:27 So, I wrote here.
51:29 Oh, something new for the room.
51:31 You got tape.
51:34 You, my friend, have come to the right place.
51:37 This is my craft box.
51:39 Okay, let's see.
51:41 Tape, tape, tape, tape.
51:42 I've got one-sided uh multicolored masking.
51:45 Okay, so I want you to feel free to use this anytime you're feeling crafty.
51:53 Oh, okay.
51:56 Well, that's an interesting thing to do to life.
52:00 What's the matter?
52:00 Does that bother you?
52:02 Well, I would rather love life,
52:05 but you know, that's the great thing about college.
52:08 You know, we can have different opinions,
52:09 but we can still find some common ground.
52:12 I mean, we both like posters and tape.
52:15 Okay, listen.
52:16 You seem like a nice enough person, but I'm going to save you some time.
52:20 We're not going to be best friends or paint
52:22 each other's nails or stand up at each
52:25 other's weddings or get together with our husbands
52:27 20 years from now and remember the good times.
52:30 It's nothing personal against you.
52:32 I don't like people.
52:34 I'm just here to get my nursing degree and get out of here.
52:38 Now, my boyfriend's coming over tonight, so you can stay here and watch.
52:44 But you can't participate.
52:47 Okay.
52:47 Yeah, I get it.
52:49 I have seen some TV 14 shows.
52:52 I'm just going to uh find someplace else to sleep or walk the campus all night.
52:57 Either way, I'm good.
52:59 Easy peasy.
53:00 Lemon squeezy.
53:14 Axel, what's going on?
53:16 Oh my god.
53:16 Mom and dad are dead.
53:18 No, they're fine.
53:19 Just thought maybe you want to get some pizza or something.
53:23 Really?
53:23 It's another question.
53:24 You're down to six.
53:30 And she doesn't even put sheets on the bed.
53:32 She just sleeps on her old coat.
53:35 Well, at least she leaves sometimes.
53:37 Kenny was always around and drove me nuts.
53:39 I mean, we're all buds now, but that first month away, I was pretty homesick.
53:45 Really?
53:45 I didn't know about that.
53:46 Oh yeah, there are times where I really miss mom and dad a lot.
53:51 You did?
53:52 Did you tell them?
53:53 No way.
53:54 Was up their business.
53:55 Anyway, just wanted to check in, make sure you're doing okay,
53:59 you know, not sitting around listening to email music or something.
54:03 Yeah, well, maybe I'm doing okay.
54:07 Look, sucks for everyone at first, but by Thanksgiving,
54:11 you're going to be having so much fun, you won't even want to go home.
54:13 Except for like food and laundry, money, stuff.
54:17 Also, I could never take a dump in the dorms,
54:19 so I would suggest doing all your pooping at home.
54:23 A
