OUT HERE IN THE MIDDLE,
THERE'S NOTHING A PARENT LOOKS FORWARD TO
LIKE OUR KIDS COMING HOME FROM COLLEGE FOR THE SUMMER.
GET THIS CRAP OUT OF MY DOORWAY.
OH, COME ON, MOM.
I ONLY HAVE A WEEK TILL I SHIP OFF TO DOLLYWOOD.
THIS IS MY VACATION.
YEAH, WE JUST HAD FINALS. WE GOT TO RECHARGE.
WHEN AM I SUPPOSED TO RECHARGE? I'VE BEEN EMPTY FOR YEARS.
YOU CAN RECHARGE ONCE WE'RE GROWN.
FOR NOW, WOULD YOU MIND QUICK GRABBING ME A POP?
WOW. I THOUGHT SHE LOVED US.
OKAY, GUYS, THIS IS NOT HOW IT'S GONNA GO.
I AM NOT STEPPING OVER MOUNT CRAPEREST
EVERY TIME I WANT TO GET INTO THE HOUSE.
I AM TIRED, AND I NEED YOU TO GET OFF YOUR BUTTS
AND MOVE YOUR STUFF NOW.
GOD, FINE!
DO YOU KNOW THERE'S, LIKE, THREE OTHER WAYS TO GET INTO THE HOUSE?
THERE'S THE BACK DOOR, THE GARAGE,
THE CHIMNEY.
HELLO?
DID YOU ALREADY FORGET WHAT I ASKED YOU TO DO?
♪♪♪♪
HI, MRS. HILSABECK.
GRADUATION'S COMING UP,
AND I JUST WANT TO GET SOME PARAMETERS
ON MY VALEDICTORIAN SPEECH.
DON'T WORRY. I'M GONNA STEER CLEAR OF ANY POLITICAL ISSUES.
EH, EXCEPT MAYBE LIBRARY HOURS.
I'M NOT READY TO GIVE UP THAT FIGHT.
WELL, I'M SORRY TO TELL YOU THIS, BRICK,
BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU'RE A SHOO-IN FOR VALEDICTORIAN.
LAST I HEARD, IT WAS STILL BETWEEN YOU AND ANOTHER STUDENT.
SO WHO IS IT?
IT'S AGAINST SCHOOL POLICY
TO GIVE OUT THAT KIND OF INFORMATION.
OF COURSE.
AND I WOULD NEVER ASK YOU TO DO ANYTHING AGAINST SUCH POLICY.
SO I'M JUST GONNA LEAVE THIS DOLLAR BILL HERE ON THE COUNTER,
AND IF IT FINDS ITS WAY INTO YOUR COIN PURSE
AND THE INFORMATION MYSTERIOUSLY ENDS UP IN MY LOCKER...
SO BE IT.
OH, MY GOD. WHAT IS WITH MOM?
LIKE OUR STUFF IS SO OFFENSIVE TO HER ALL OF A SUDDEN.
THAT WOMAN RUNS ON ANGER. IT'S HER FUEL.
MM-HMM.
OH! HE-HEY! AWESOME.
THERE'S A HOUSE PARTY AT MANDO'S TONIGHT.
MM.
THINKING I MIGHT HEAD OVER AROUND 10:00.
OKAY, AXL, I KNOW I'M STAYING IN YOUR ROOM,
BUT I DON'T NEED TO KNOW YOUR WHOLE SCHEDULE.
AND FYI, YOU DON'T NEED TO ANNOUNCE YOUR FARTS, EITHER.
I'M BEING POLITE.
ANYWAYS, I WAS SEEING IF YOU WANTED TO COME,
A DECISION I'M ALREADY STARTING TO REGRET.
YOU'RE INVITING ME TO A PARTY?!
WAIT. WHAT'S YOUR GAME?
I JUST TOOK A WILD GUESS AND ASSUMED YOU WEREN'T UP TO ANYTHING TONIGHT.
THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT TO COME WITH.
BUT IF YOU'RE GONNA BE ALL SUE ABOUT IT... NO.
NO, NO, NO, NO. I'LL COME.
I'LL TOTALLY COME. I'M COOL.
I'M DOWN. I'M DOPE.
I WON'T TALK LIKE THAT AT THE PARTY, I PROMISE.
BRICK MAY HAVE GOTTEN ALL A'S,
BUT HE DEFINITELY FLUNKED BRIBING.
SO HE HAD TO FIND OUT FOR HIMSELF
WHO HIS COMPETITION WAS.
HEY, SANG-WOO, I WAS JUST WONDERING,
HOW'D YOU DO ON THAT POTATO CLOCK WE HAD TO MAKE FOR SCIENCE LAST WEEK?
I GOT A "B."
I HAVEN'T TOLD MY MOM YET.
OOH, TOUGH BREAK.
I'M SORRY. ARE THOSE TEARS OF HAPPINESS OR SADNESS?
I ONLY GOT AN A-MINUS!
EXCUSE ME.
IRWIN, HOW'D YOU DO ON THAT HISTORY TEST?
OH, MY GOD. THAT PARTY WAS AMAZING.
DEFINITELY ONE OF THE TOP 10 ORSON PARTIES I'VE EVER BEEN TO.
AND NOT JUST ONLY 'CAUSE I'VE BEEN TO FOUR.
OH, AND THAT DINER! OH, MY GOD.
I HAVE NEVER HAD PANCAKES AT 2:00 IN THE MORNING.
WAS IT BREAKFAST? WAS IT DINNER? I DON'T KNOW!
OH! GEEZ!
CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME WHY I'M PAYING FOR CELLPHONES EVERY MONTH
WHEN NOBODY'S GONNA USE THEM?
WHAT? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
DO YOU GUYS EVER LOOK AT YOUR PHONES?
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET AHOLD OF YOU SINCE MIDNIGHT.
OH, THAT'S A LOT OF TEXTS.
MY THUMBS ARE TIRED FROM THE AMOUNT OF TIMES
I'VE TRIED TO GET AHOLD OF YOU TWO.
WHY? IS EVERYTHING OKAY?
NO, EVERYTHING IS NOT OKAY.
WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?
AT A PARTY. YOU KNEW THAT.
AND THEN WE WENT TO GET PANCAKES.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
WHY IS THAT ONE YELLING ABOUT PANCAKES?
IT'S 2:00 IN THE MORNING AND YOUR KIDS JUST GOT HOME.
YOU'RE JUST GETTING HOME NOW?
THEY DIDN'T CALL. THEY DIDN'T TEXT.
OH, MY GOD.
YOU'RE ACTING LIKE I HAVE A CURFEW!
I'M OVER 21!
I'M OLD ENOUGH TO DIE FOR OUR COUNTRY!
DON'T WORRY. I'LL SAVE YOU THE TRIP.
DID IT EVEN CROSS YOUR MIND
THAT YOUR MOM AND I MIGHT BE WORRIED ABOUT YOU?
YOU WEREN'T EVEN UP!
YOUR HAIR'S ALL FUNNY. YOU WERE OBVIOUSLY SLEEPING.
WHAT, ARE YOU A LAWYER NOW?
HEY, DON'T TRY TO DEFLECT THE ATTENTION
AWAY FROM WHAT YOU DID.
YOU WERE OUT ALL NIGHT, WE DIDN'T KNOW WHERE YOU WERE...
SO? AT SCHOOL WE STAY OUT ALL NIGHT.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE WE ARE.
I HATE TO BREAK IT TO YOU, MOM,
BUT SOMETIMES I STAY OUT REALLY LATE,
AND SOMETIMES I DON'T COME HOME AT ALL.
AUDIBLE GASP!
YEAH. I'VE BEEN OUT LATE AT SCHOOL, TOO,
AND NOT ALL OF THEM WERE FIRE DRILLS.
LOOK, YOU MAY DO WHATEVER YOU WANT
WHEN YOU'RE UP AT SCHOOL AND WE CAN'T SEE YOU,
BUT AS LONG AS YOU'RE STAYING UNDER OUR ROOF,
YOU'RE GONNA FOLLOW OUR RULES.
YOU ARE REALLY PULLING OUT THE CLASSICS NOW, DAD.
WHY DON'T YOU, UH, SHAKE YOUR FIRST
AND THROW OUT A, UH, "BECAUSE I SAID SO"?
IT'S COMMON COURTESY.
DO YOU THINK YOUR DAD AND I WOULD STAY OUT ALL NIGHT
WITHOUT LETTING EACH OTHER KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING?
YOU GUYS DON'T GO ANYWHERE!
BECAUSE YOU'VE SUCKED THE LIFE OUT OF US!
WHAT ARE YOU SO WORRIED ABOUT?
DO YOU THINK I'M GONNA, LIKE, END UP IN A DITCH SOMEWHERE?
I MAKE GOOD CHOICES.
TONIGHT THE WAITRESS ASKED IF I WANTED ANOTHER CHOCOLATE MILK,
AND I SAID NO!
YOU'LL GET IT WHEN YOU HAVE KIDS OF YOUR OWN SOMEDAY.
YES, I KNOW.
CLASSICS ARE CLASSICS FOR A REASON.
AND HERE'S ANOTHER ONE...

NOPE, THEY'RE STILL OUT.
WHAT? I SAID BE HOME BY 10:00.
OH, COME ON. NOBODY THOUGHT THAT WAS REAL.
