1
00:00:01,735 --> 00:00:05,373
(cheers and applause)

2
00:00:05,406 --> 00:00:08,008
Man,
the Olympics are amazing.

3
00:00:08,042 --> 00:00:09,677
We are watching history
being made.

4
00:00:09,710 --> 00:00:10,711
You said the same thing

5
00:00:10,744 --> 00:00:12,513
at the grand opening
of that mini-golf place.

6
00:00:12,546 --> 00:00:13,547
Mm-hmm.

7
00:00:13,581 --> 00:00:15,416
Shh!
It's the awards ceremony.

8
00:00:15,449 --> 00:00:17,518
ANNOUNCER: There's gold medalist
Bogdan Dragomir,

9
00:00:17,551 --> 00:00:19,753
who came from
poor village in Romania

10
00:00:19,787 --> 00:00:22,423
and defied all odds to be here.
You got a gold medal
in Who Cares?!

11
00:00:22,456 --> 00:00:26,227
Bring on the gymnastics!
Kerri Strug for life!

12
00:00:26,260 --> 00:00:29,430
Go Nigeria!

13
00:00:29,463 --> 00:00:30,931
Why aren't you rooting
for U.S.A.?

14
00:00:30,964 --> 00:00:33,367
Or Chinese Taipei,
your homeland?

15
00:00:33,401 --> 00:00:35,203
Next up
is woman's long jump,

16
00:00:35,236 --> 00:00:37,538
and Chioma Ajunwa
is going to take the gold.

17
00:00:37,571 --> 00:00:41,575
I root for the best.
That's my homeland.

18
00:00:47,748 --> 00:00:50,384
**

19
00:00:50,418 --> 00:00:52,786
**

20
00:00:52,820 --> 00:00:53,954
* Fresh off the boat

21
00:00:53,987 --> 00:00:55,556
* I'm gettin' mine
everywhere I go *

22
00:00:55,589 --> 00:00:57,291
* If you don't know, homey,
now you know *

23
00:00:57,325 --> 00:00:58,559
* Fresh off the boat

24
00:00:58,592 --> 00:01:01,562
* Homey, you don't know
where I come from *

25
00:01:01,595 --> 00:01:02,730
* But I know where I'm goin'

26
00:01:02,763 --> 00:01:05,799
* I'm fresh off the boat

27
00:01:05,833 --> 00:01:08,369
It's because
you had the idea

28
00:01:08,402 --> 00:01:10,471
of offering a free dessert
with every entrée.

29
00:01:10,504 --> 00:01:12,806
No, it's because you had
the idea to hang TVs

30
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,143
above the bar so people
could watch the Olympics.

31
00:01:15,176 --> 00:01:17,811
Well, either way, business
has never been better,

32
00:01:17,845 --> 00:01:20,348
so I guess
we're both geniuses.

33
00:01:24,685 --> 00:01:27,988
I asked Eddie to bring in
the groceries yesterday.

34
00:01:28,021 --> 00:01:29,790
Did he drop it?

35
00:01:29,823 --> 00:01:32,460
He just dropped it, and then
he just left it there.

36
00:01:32,493 --> 00:01:33,794
I'll tell him
to clean it up.

37
00:01:33,827 --> 00:01:36,464
No, no. He's just
gonna make it worse.

38
00:01:36,497 --> 00:01:39,467
I got the grape juice
out of the couch.

39
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:40,601
I can get this out, too.

40
00:01:41,669 --> 00:01:44,738
It's so hard to keep
this place clean.

41
00:01:44,772 --> 00:01:46,974
A little help
would be nice.

42
00:01:52,780 --> 00:01:54,515
My vase!

43
00:01:58,619 --> 00:02:00,588
**

44
00:02:00,621 --> 00:02:01,922
* Yeah

45
00:02:01,955 --> 00:02:03,924
I can't believe
school starts tomorrow.

46
00:02:03,957 --> 00:02:06,694
We need to walk in with either
fresh gear or a great story.

47
00:02:06,727 --> 00:02:08,196
I got both.

48
00:02:08,229 --> 00:02:11,299
I went to the Olympics
in Atlanta and got some merch.

49
00:02:11,332 --> 00:02:13,467
It's Izzy the Whatizit.

50
00:02:13,501 --> 00:02:16,270
You know,
the official mascot.

51
00:02:16,304 --> 00:02:18,005
It looks like
a gay raindrop.

52
00:02:20,174 --> 00:02:23,311
I had mono, so I spent all
summer in bed watching Cinemax.

53
00:02:23,344 --> 00:02:25,479
I learned
a lot about boobs.

54
00:02:25,513 --> 00:02:28,849
Now when I grow up, I want to
be a pizza delivery boy.

55
00:02:30,017 --> 00:02:32,520
Guys,
we're eighth graders now.

56
00:02:32,553 --> 00:02:35,689
We're, like, upperclassmen.
We don't need stories.

57
00:02:35,723 --> 00:02:41,028
You're right. We're gonna be
like men among boys.

58
00:02:41,061 --> 00:02:42,796
* I wish I was
a little bit taller *

59
00:02:42,830 --> 00:02:44,198
* I wish I was a baller

60
00:02:44,232 --> 00:02:46,734
* I wish I had a girl who looked
good, I would call her *

61
00:02:46,767 --> 00:02:47,901
* I wish I had a rabbit
in a hat with a bat *

62
00:02:47,935 --> 00:02:50,238
* And a 6-4 Impala
Who are those men?

63
00:02:50,271 --> 00:02:53,474
* I wish I was, like, 6'9"
so I can get with Leoshi *
Nah, son. We're eighth graders.

64
00:02:53,507 --> 00:02:55,175
* 'Cause she --

65
00:02:56,910 --> 00:02:58,879
Imagination's free, man.

66
00:02:58,912 --> 00:03:01,181
Doesn't cost you anything
to make me feel good.

67
00:03:01,215 --> 00:03:02,850
(locker closes)
Hey, here comes

68
00:03:02,883 --> 00:03:04,352
one of the new
sixth graders now.

69
00:03:04,385 --> 00:03:06,320
Right. Emery's starting
at our school this year.

70
00:03:06,354 --> 00:03:07,655
I can't wait.
There's so many

71
00:03:07,688 --> 00:03:10,424
new people to meet, so many
new things I want to try.

72
00:03:10,458 --> 00:03:13,193
(laughter)

73
00:03:18,031 --> 00:03:21,168
Dude, sixth grade sucks.

74
00:03:21,201 --> 00:03:24,405
Try starting at mid-year
on a Wednesday.

75
00:03:24,438 --> 00:03:27,741
Lucky for you,
you have me.

76
00:03:27,775 --> 00:03:30,711
I blazed the trail,
and now all you got to do

77
00:03:30,744 --> 00:03:33,714
is kick back and enjoy
the fruits of my labor.

78
00:03:33,747 --> 00:03:36,350
(sighs) Fruits.

79
00:03:36,384 --> 00:03:40,220
That's what me and Emery
would sometimes eat on the bus.

80
00:03:40,254 --> 00:03:41,355
Evan's taking it hard

81
00:03:41,389 --> 00:03:44,024
that we won't be at
the same school anymore.

82
00:03:44,057 --> 00:03:46,026
The thing I'm gonna
miss the most

83
00:03:46,059 --> 00:03:47,861
is riding the bus together.

84
00:03:47,895 --> 00:03:49,763
That was our
special brother time.

85
00:03:49,797 --> 00:03:51,432
You'll make new friends.

86
00:03:51,465 --> 00:03:54,768
They will be a bandage on
a wound that will never heal.

87
00:03:54,802 --> 00:03:57,471
**

88
00:03:57,505 --> 00:03:59,206
Okay, don't forget
your lunch.

89
00:03:59,239 --> 00:04:02,042
Hurry up.
You're gonna miss the bus.

90
00:04:02,075 --> 00:04:04,378
Mom, before I embark
on middle school,

91
00:04:04,412 --> 00:04:07,381
I just want to say thank you
for giving me the tools --

92
00:04:07,415 --> 00:04:08,549
Sure.
Here's a bag of trash.

93
00:04:08,582 --> 00:04:10,117
Put it in the can
on your way out, okay?

94
00:04:11,452 --> 00:04:12,920
(sighs)

95
00:04:12,953 --> 00:04:16,123
Wow,
look at this mess.

96
00:04:16,156 --> 00:04:17,458
Look at this.

97
00:04:17,491 --> 00:04:20,561
Batteries, an armless He-Man,
and a tooth.

98
00:04:20,594 --> 00:04:23,297
It's like the contents
of a shark's stomach.

99
00:04:23,331 --> 00:04:24,465
(doorbell rings)

100
00:04:24,498 --> 00:04:27,701
Ah.
Who could that be?

101
00:04:30,604 --> 00:04:32,306
Surprise!

102
00:04:32,340 --> 00:04:35,309
This is Mary.
She's here to clean our house.

103
00:04:35,343 --> 00:04:36,977
You work so hard,
and the restaurant's had

104
00:04:37,010 --> 00:04:38,078
a good summer.

105
00:04:38,111 --> 00:04:39,313
We can afford
to get you some help.

106
00:04:40,614 --> 00:04:44,251
(chuckles)
I would love some help...

107
00:04:44,284 --> 00:04:47,355
getting the knife
out of my back.

108
00:04:48,456 --> 00:04:50,624
How dare you?

109
00:04:51,959 --> 00:04:54,194
But...
(sighs)

110
00:04:54,227 --> 00:04:56,864
Should I start
on the bathrooms?

111
00:04:58,031 --> 00:05:00,468
**

112
00:05:00,501 --> 00:05:01,802
(indistinct conversations)

113
00:05:01,835 --> 00:05:03,170
(exhales deeply)

114
00:05:03,203 --> 00:05:07,174
The beginning of the middle
of the beginning of my life.

115
00:05:07,207 --> 00:05:10,110
Here. I made you something
for your first day.

116
00:05:10,143 --> 00:05:11,645
Aww, a gift?

117
00:05:11,679 --> 00:05:13,847
Of sorts, of sorts.

118
00:05:13,881 --> 00:05:15,516
It's a detailed account
of the lies I've told at school

119
00:05:15,549 --> 00:05:17,518
for the past two years.
What?

120
00:05:17,551 --> 00:05:18,852
I may have
stretched the truth

121
00:05:18,886 --> 00:05:21,622
about our cultural heritage
to make life easier.

122
00:05:21,655 --> 00:05:23,791
I'm gonna need you
to learn it all

123
00:05:23,824 --> 00:05:25,959
so you don't blow up
my spot.

124
00:05:25,993 --> 00:05:26,994
This is volume one.

125
00:05:27,027 --> 00:05:28,662
I haven't finished
copying the rest yet.

126
00:05:28,696 --> 00:05:29,763
Hand fatigue.

127
00:05:35,769 --> 00:05:37,638
(school bell rings)
We get Harvest Day off?

128
00:05:37,671 --> 00:05:39,139
What's Harvest Day?

129
00:05:39,172 --> 00:05:40,307
It's a Chinese holiday

130
00:05:40,340 --> 00:05:41,875
that falls on the first Friday
of every month.

131
00:05:41,909 --> 00:05:42,876
That's not true.

132
00:05:42,910 --> 00:05:44,478
White people
don't know that.

133
00:05:44,512 --> 00:05:45,513
There's so much in here.

134
00:05:45,546 --> 00:05:47,314
Why didn't you give this
to me earlier?

135
00:05:47,347 --> 00:05:49,983
Because I do things last minute
per Chinese superstition.

136
00:05:50,017 --> 00:05:51,184
Page 88.

137
00:05:51,218 --> 00:05:54,187
Aww, look at
the little sixth graders.

138
00:05:54,221 --> 00:05:56,023
They are so cute.

139
00:05:56,056 --> 00:05:57,357
Hey, little guy!

140
00:05:57,391 --> 00:06:00,561
(coos, sighs)

141
00:06:00,594 --> 00:06:02,730
Every day at 11:15
we have to put

142
00:06:02,763 --> 00:06:05,165
our heads on our desks
and close our eyes

143
00:06:05,198 --> 00:06:06,500
for 10 minutes?

144
00:06:06,534 --> 00:06:09,737
Facing west so we can sense
if China's coming for Taiwan.

145
00:06:09,770 --> 00:06:11,271
How does taking a nap --

146
00:06:11,304 --> 00:06:13,173
(imitates buzzer)
Don't poke holes.

147
00:06:13,206 --> 00:06:14,508
The story is written,
my friend.

148
00:06:14,542 --> 00:06:15,909
You just
need to learn it.

149
00:06:15,943 --> 00:06:18,412
I don't think I feel comfortable
with this web of lies.

150
00:06:18,446 --> 00:06:20,247
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
It's not a web.

151
00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:24,084
It's a hammock -- something
you can kick back and relax in.

152
00:06:24,117 --> 00:06:25,586
If you want to do all this,
fine,

153
00:06:25,619 --> 00:06:27,421
but why do I have to
go along with it?

154
00:06:27,455 --> 00:06:28,756
Because you have to.

155
00:06:28,789 --> 00:06:30,424
Do you know how much
trouble I can get in?

156
00:06:30,458 --> 00:06:32,092
I'd probably have to
redo seventh grade.

157
00:06:32,125 --> 00:06:33,727
I-I guess.

158
00:06:33,761 --> 00:06:36,263
Cool, cool.
Glad to have you on board.

159
00:06:36,296 --> 00:06:39,399
Wow, look at all
the clubs they have here.

160
00:06:39,433 --> 00:06:41,134
(imitates buzzer)
Sorry, little bro.

161
00:06:41,168 --> 00:06:42,636
No extra 'currics.

162
00:06:42,670 --> 00:06:44,638
Why not?

163
00:06:44,672 --> 00:06:46,774
(softly)
Read the book.

164
00:06:46,807 --> 00:06:49,443
**

165
00:06:52,345 --> 00:06:53,981
Can I sit here?

166
00:06:54,014 --> 00:06:55,649
Sorry,
that's my brother's seat.

167
00:06:55,683 --> 00:06:57,317
Where is he?

168
00:06:57,350 --> 00:06:58,752
He goes
to middle school now.

169
00:06:58,786 --> 00:07:01,088
Oh, well,
then I can sit here.

170
00:07:01,121 --> 00:07:02,956
I got a bag of walnuts
if you want to share.

171
00:07:02,990 --> 00:07:05,459
Hey, walnuts!
A man sat here for two years!

172
00:07:05,493 --> 00:07:07,094
Show some respect!

173
00:07:08,796 --> 00:07:11,799
LOUIS: She's a housekeeper.
It's a gift.

174
00:07:11,832 --> 00:07:14,568
Who is this woman?
Where is she going to live?

175
00:07:14,602 --> 00:07:16,737
No, no! She's here
to clean the house!

176
00:07:16,770 --> 00:07:18,238
It's a gift!

177
00:07:18,271 --> 00:07:20,474
Why do you think
I would need help cleaning?

178
00:07:20,508 --> 00:07:22,976
This is just like Eddie
with the math

179
00:07:23,010 --> 00:07:24,344
when we got him
that tutor.

180
00:07:24,377 --> 00:07:26,980
You think I need
a cleaning tutor?!

181
00:07:27,014 --> 00:07:29,650
There was a collapsed watermelon
in the living room

182
00:07:29,683 --> 00:07:32,352
and you said the words,
"A little help would be nice."

183
00:07:32,385 --> 00:07:33,754
Oh, so now
it's all my fault!

184
00:07:33,787 --> 00:07:34,755
It's a gift!

185
00:07:34,788 --> 00:07:36,590
Louis,
lower your voice.

186
00:07:36,624 --> 00:07:39,259
We have company.
(sighs)

187
00:07:39,292 --> 00:07:40,360
Okay.

188
00:07:40,393 --> 00:07:41,862
You know what?
I already paid her.

189
00:07:41,895 --> 00:07:43,697
Let's just let her
clean one room.

190
00:07:43,731 --> 00:07:45,165
If you don't like
the job she does,

191
00:07:45,198 --> 00:07:47,501
we'll send her home
and she'll never come back.

192
00:07:47,535 --> 00:07:49,770
Fine.
(sighs)

193
00:07:49,803 --> 00:07:51,505
But she can't
listen to music.

194
00:07:51,539 --> 00:07:53,607
Okay, I'll leave
you ladies to it.

195
00:07:53,641 --> 00:07:56,610
Have fun.

196
00:07:56,644 --> 00:07:57,678
(door closes)

197
00:07:57,711 --> 00:07:59,312
**

198
00:08:00,581 --> 00:08:02,149
(wheels squeak)

199
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,162
(indistinct conversations)

200
00:08:17,430 --> 00:08:19,567
Hey, there.

201
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,468
Looks like
we're locker buddies.

202
00:08:21,501 --> 00:08:23,571
(panting)
Uh, uh, Sorry.

203
00:08:23,604 --> 00:08:25,873
This isn't your locker.
What?

204
00:08:25,906 --> 00:08:27,675
All sixth-grade lockers
start with the number four,

205
00:08:27,708 --> 00:08:28,709
and your brother told us

206
00:08:28,742 --> 00:08:30,210
that four is unlucky
in Chinese culture

207
00:08:30,243 --> 00:08:32,045
on account of it sounding like
the word "death."

208
00:08:32,079 --> 00:08:34,214
Oh. I...

209
00:08:34,247 --> 00:08:36,216
Come with me.
Let me show you your new locker.

210
00:08:36,249 --> 00:08:37,885
Your brother really liked it
'cause it's right next to

211
00:08:37,918 --> 00:08:40,153
the entrance, and you don't
even have to walk as far.

212
00:08:40,187 --> 00:08:42,556
Guess we're
locker strangers.

213
00:08:42,590 --> 00:08:44,692
(sighs)

214
00:08:44,725 --> 00:08:46,059
(shoes squeak)

215
00:08:46,093 --> 00:08:48,428
My locker's
next to yours, yo.

216
00:08:48,461 --> 00:08:49,429
Want to be my girlfriend?

217
00:08:49,462 --> 00:08:50,664
You were
my second choice!

218
00:08:50,698 --> 00:08:51,665
P.K.
I'm Brittany.

219
00:08:51,699 --> 00:08:53,767
Cool.

220
00:08:54,868 --> 00:08:56,837
Oh, I saved a seat
for you in the back.

221
00:08:56,870 --> 00:08:58,338
What? Why?

222
00:08:58,371 --> 00:09:00,674
Eddie told me that it's
disrespectful in your culture

223
00:09:00,708 --> 00:09:03,076
to sit close to a teacher
who's also a married woman.

224
00:09:03,110 --> 00:09:05,545
Your distance shows
your honor for my position

225
00:09:05,579 --> 00:09:07,247
as well as
my sacred union.

226
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,584
Oh, yeah. Right.

227
00:09:17,791 --> 00:09:20,594
Ugh. Why's it so warm
back here?

228
00:09:20,628 --> 00:09:23,430
That's me.
I run hot.

229
00:09:23,463 --> 00:09:26,233
They say I'll grow out of it,
but, like, when?

230
00:09:27,835 --> 00:09:30,037
Green beans!

231
00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:31,138
Oh, don't worry.

232
00:09:31,171 --> 00:09:32,806
We're not gonna make
you eat these.

233
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,609
Eddie told us your body can't
process the chlorophyll.

234
00:09:35,643 --> 00:09:37,778
But...
Here you go, sweetie.

235
00:09:37,811 --> 00:09:39,112
Double tots.

236
00:09:39,146 --> 00:09:42,983
Uh, my body also has a hard time
processing chlorophyll.

237
00:09:43,016 --> 00:09:44,952
Listen, mister, I don't know
what kind of scam you ran

238
00:09:44,985 --> 00:09:47,788
at your elementary school,
but this is my house.

239
00:09:47,821 --> 00:09:50,423
You'll suck up beans with
the rest of these damn fools.

240
00:09:50,457 --> 00:09:52,425
Double green beans.

241
00:10:02,670 --> 00:10:05,005
(Eastern European accent)
Hello. I am new gym teacher.

242
00:10:05,038 --> 00:10:07,340
Whoa,
You're Bogdan Dragomir,

243
00:10:07,374 --> 00:10:09,677
the Romanian who
won three gold medals!

244
00:10:09,710 --> 00:10:11,745
Da.
How did you get here?

245
00:10:11,779 --> 00:10:12,780
I am fortunate.

246
00:10:12,813 --> 00:10:14,281
I have cousin
who lives in Orlando.

247
00:10:14,314 --> 00:10:17,350
He get me job teaching sports
at this university.

248
00:10:19,619 --> 00:10:23,590
Come. You will take turns trying
to pull me for 30 seconds.

249
00:10:23,623 --> 00:10:27,795
You will fail, but your
forearms, they will burn.

250
00:10:29,062 --> 00:10:31,498
**

251
00:10:31,531 --> 00:10:33,366
(grunting)

252
00:10:35,803 --> 00:10:36,770
(whistle blows)

253
00:10:36,804 --> 00:10:38,605
Okay, weak children.

254
00:10:38,638 --> 00:10:41,608
Hey, tomorrow we throw
barrels over that wall

255
00:10:41,641 --> 00:10:43,310
like donkey monkey.

256
00:10:43,343 --> 00:10:44,477
Hit the showers.

257
00:10:44,511 --> 00:10:46,279
(sighs)

258
00:10:46,313 --> 00:10:48,381
Hey, you little Asian boy
named Eddie?

259
00:10:48,415 --> 00:10:50,684
No, he's my brother.
I'm Emery.

260
00:10:50,718 --> 00:10:52,352
Old P.E. teacher
give me heads up.

261
00:10:52,385 --> 00:10:54,221
Says you don't have to
shower with the other boys

262
00:10:54,254 --> 00:10:55,522
because of culture.

263
00:10:55,555 --> 00:10:56,656
But I'm sweaty!

264
00:10:56,690 --> 00:10:59,359
And I like to raise my hand
to answer questions.

265
00:10:59,392 --> 00:11:01,361
I have chalk
you can rub on body.

266
00:11:01,394 --> 00:11:03,630
They call that
Romanian shower.

267
00:11:03,663 --> 00:11:06,399
**

268
00:11:06,433 --> 00:11:09,236
(squeaking)

269
00:11:09,269 --> 00:11:12,239
I don't do it
side to side.

270
00:11:12,272 --> 00:11:13,874
I do it in circles.

271
00:11:13,907 --> 00:11:16,043
Better for the wood.

272
00:11:16,076 --> 00:11:18,879
I'm sorry, but, uh,
this isn't wood.

273
00:11:18,912 --> 00:11:21,715
This is laminate.

274
00:11:21,749 --> 00:11:23,350
I do it in circles.

275
00:11:27,755 --> 00:11:29,689
Do you have experience
with those?!

276
00:11:29,723 --> 00:11:32,092
They are very delicate.

277
00:11:32,125 --> 00:11:35,328
They are arranged
in a certain tableau.

278
00:11:35,362 --> 00:11:38,498
Each angle tells
a different story.

279
00:11:38,531 --> 00:11:41,501
Are they discussing the dust
storm that just hit them?

280
00:11:41,534 --> 00:11:44,171
They're covered in
the fog of resiliency.

281
00:11:44,204 --> 00:11:45,338
You know what?

282
00:11:45,372 --> 00:11:47,007
I just don't think
this is gonna work out.

283
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,175
Then you should leave.

284
00:11:48,208 --> 00:11:49,843
That's exactly
what I'm gonna do.

285
00:11:49,877 --> 00:11:51,211
I can't wait to leave.

286
00:11:53,747 --> 00:11:56,917
Mr. Huang promised me
a ride home.

287
00:11:56,950 --> 00:11:59,252
* In your head

288
00:11:59,286 --> 00:12:01,755
* In your head

289
00:12:01,789 --> 00:12:04,925
* Zombie, zombie
It's the next left.

290
00:12:04,958 --> 00:12:08,528
* Zombie-ie-ie-ie, oh, oh

291
00:12:08,561 --> 00:12:10,898
If you want to give me
a couple dollars for gas,

292
00:12:10,931 --> 00:12:13,266
it would be helpful.

293
00:12:13,300 --> 00:12:14,902
(kids grunting)

294
00:12:17,737 --> 00:12:18,772
(grunts)

295
00:12:18,806 --> 00:12:21,441
(all cheering)

296
00:12:21,474 --> 00:12:22,442
No "yays."

297
00:12:22,475 --> 00:12:24,711
I was walking
to water fountain.

298
00:12:24,744 --> 00:12:26,814
No, you weren't.
We pulled you.

299
00:12:26,847 --> 00:12:30,050
I've grown weak.
Too much Kentucky chicken.

300
00:12:30,083 --> 00:12:33,153
(grunts)
Hit the showers.

301
00:12:33,186 --> 00:12:35,088
(whistle blows)

302
00:12:35,122 --> 00:12:37,590
Enjoy!

303
00:12:37,624 --> 00:12:39,459
**

304
00:12:39,492 --> 00:12:40,894
You too.

305
00:12:40,928 --> 00:12:43,797
Oh, right, you're new.
See, according to my culture --

306
00:12:43,831 --> 00:12:46,133
Your brother,
he tell me truth.

307
00:12:46,166 --> 00:12:48,969
He say your lies
like a web.

308
00:12:49,002 --> 00:12:50,637
Not hammock.

309
00:12:50,670 --> 00:12:52,005
Lies?!

310
00:12:52,039 --> 00:12:54,174
I don't lie.
My brother lies.

311
00:12:54,207 --> 00:12:56,343
See, who are you
gonna believe?

312
00:12:56,376 --> 00:13:00,914
Me, your best friend, or some
Chinese kid you just met?

313
00:13:00,948 --> 00:13:03,150
(dramatic music plays)

314
00:13:05,285 --> 00:13:08,255
We're supposed to shower
in the round?

315
00:13:08,288 --> 00:13:09,356
Where are the curtains?

316
00:13:09,389 --> 00:13:11,691
Dude,
there are no curtains.

317
00:13:11,724 --> 00:13:13,193
That's why we came up
with a system where

318
00:13:13,226 --> 00:13:15,328
we all look left
to avoid eye contact.

319
00:13:15,362 --> 00:13:16,864
(door opens)
It's still not great.

320
00:13:16,897 --> 00:13:18,999
(door closes)
I love it.

321
00:13:19,032 --> 00:13:20,333
I got
three sisters at home,

322
00:13:20,367 --> 00:13:22,169
so this is the most
bathroom time I get.

323
00:13:22,202 --> 00:13:23,670
Girls be showering,
right?

324
00:13:23,703 --> 00:13:26,139
**

325
00:13:26,173 --> 00:13:27,507
(water runs)
(whistling)

326
00:13:34,314 --> 00:13:35,215
Fun first day?

327
00:13:35,248 --> 00:13:36,383
I'd give it a 6.

328
00:13:36,416 --> 00:13:38,718
Is this still --
It is.

329
00:13:38,751 --> 00:13:41,221
Sorry it's taken me more
than a few hours to move on.

330
00:13:41,254 --> 00:13:43,023
There's plenty
of other seats.

331
00:13:43,056 --> 00:13:44,457
Why do you want to sit
in this one?

332
00:13:44,491 --> 00:13:47,027
Because you remind me of
my friend back in Indiana.

333
00:13:47,060 --> 00:13:48,628
He was Chinese,
wasn't he?

334
00:13:48,661 --> 00:13:50,797
Yeah.
Do you know him?

335
00:13:50,830 --> 00:13:52,732
Yes.
You do?

336
00:13:52,765 --> 00:13:55,035
Yeah. And he told me not
to sit next to you.

337
00:13:55,068 --> 00:13:58,505
Sounds like Charlie.
Always busting balls.

338
00:13:58,538 --> 00:14:02,309
(sighs)
I guess now my day's a 5.

339
00:14:02,342 --> 00:14:06,146
**

340
00:14:06,179 --> 00:14:09,016
I've seen things
I wish I could unsee.

341
00:14:10,183 --> 00:14:11,818
Ginger things.

342
00:14:11,851 --> 00:14:14,154
Dark things.

343
00:14:14,187 --> 00:14:16,256
Brian's things.

344
00:14:16,289 --> 00:14:17,925
I enjoyed my shower.

345
00:14:17,958 --> 00:14:20,693
The water pressure
was just incredible.

346
00:14:20,727 --> 00:14:23,063
Why did you blow
my spot, bruh?!

347
00:14:23,096 --> 00:14:25,598
They made me shower
like a damn animal!

348
00:14:25,632 --> 00:14:27,100
I'm not gonna lie
for you anymore, Eddie.

349
00:14:27,134 --> 00:14:30,170
I'm done trying to live up
to your low expectations.

350
00:14:30,203 --> 00:14:31,604
Are you kidding me?

351
00:14:31,638 --> 00:14:33,941
Do you know how many kids would
kill for a setup like this?

352
00:14:33,974 --> 00:14:35,108
Well, not me!

353
00:14:35,142 --> 00:14:36,776
I was really looking forward
to middle school.

354
00:14:36,809 --> 00:14:38,611
But instead,
my day sucked.

355
00:14:38,645 --> 00:14:41,781
Why was your day hard again?
Was it the better locker?

356
00:14:41,814 --> 00:14:44,851
The in-class nap?
The double tots?

357
00:14:44,884 --> 00:14:46,253
Want to hear about
my first day?

358
00:14:46,286 --> 00:14:47,854
Nobody could pronounce
my name,

359
00:14:47,887 --> 00:14:50,257
a bunch of white kids
made fun of my food,

360
00:14:50,290 --> 00:14:52,092
and I had to eat lunch
with the janitor.

361
00:14:52,125 --> 00:14:55,862
I held his kite while
he finished his cantaloupe.

362
00:14:55,895 --> 00:14:57,730
I'm sorry you
had to go through that.

363
00:14:57,764 --> 00:14:59,566
I just want to learn.

364
00:14:59,599 --> 00:15:01,568
I want to sit
in the front of the class.

365
00:15:01,601 --> 00:15:03,403
I want to
eat green beans.

366
00:15:03,436 --> 00:15:05,138
I want to do
after-school clubs.

367
00:15:05,172 --> 00:15:07,307
Oh, yeah?
What kind of clubs?

368
00:15:07,340 --> 00:15:10,710
Karate, photography,
maybe even learn an instrument.

369
00:15:10,743 --> 00:15:11,711
Like violin?

370
00:15:11,744 --> 00:15:13,646
Yes.

371
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,715
So, you want to be
what everyone thought I was

372
00:15:15,748 --> 00:15:17,284
when I walked in
on the first day.

373
00:15:17,317 --> 00:15:19,419
You want to undo
all the work I've done

374
00:15:19,452 --> 00:15:21,254
over the past two years.

375
00:15:21,288 --> 00:15:24,124
You mean all the work you've
done so you could just be lazy.

376
00:15:24,157 --> 00:15:26,960
They're ignorant about who
we are and where we come from.

377
00:15:26,994 --> 00:15:29,062
Why shouldn't we take
advantage of that?

378
00:15:29,096 --> 00:15:31,731
They see me coming down
the hall, they're nervous.

379
00:15:31,764 --> 00:15:33,233
I'm keeping them
on their toes,

380
00:15:33,266 --> 00:15:35,402
blazing trails,
breaking chains.

381
00:15:35,435 --> 00:15:39,106
Then they see you coming
in your gi with your violin

382
00:15:39,139 --> 00:15:41,808
and your camera, and we're
back to where we started!

383
00:15:41,841 --> 00:15:45,312
**

384
00:15:45,345 --> 00:15:47,914
Are the TVs okay?!

385
00:15:47,947 --> 00:15:48,948
What?

386
00:15:48,982 --> 00:15:50,417
You said to come down
right away.

387
00:15:50,450 --> 00:15:52,585
Did Nancy mess up the inputs?
Have you tried hitting "source"?

388
00:15:52,619 --> 00:15:53,653
Jessica,
the TVs are fine.

389
00:15:53,686 --> 00:15:55,855
Oh. Well,
then what's going on?

390
00:15:55,888 --> 00:15:59,259
I got an interesting
phone call from Mary.

391
00:15:59,292 --> 00:16:00,994
Who?

392
00:16:01,028 --> 00:16:02,495
Mary.

393
00:16:02,529 --> 00:16:03,997
The housekeeper
who you apparently

394
00:16:04,031 --> 00:16:05,598
shook down for gas money.

395
00:16:05,632 --> 00:16:07,934
Tell me, Louis, when did
you fall in love with her?

396
00:16:07,967 --> 00:16:09,269
(sighs)

397
00:16:09,302 --> 00:16:12,105
Look, Jessica, I know you're set
in your way of doing things,

398
00:16:12,139 --> 00:16:14,507
but I promise you'll like this
if you give it a chance.

399
00:16:14,541 --> 00:16:16,509
I did give it a chance.

400
00:16:16,543 --> 00:16:19,712
She wiped the table wrong,
and then she insulted the mice.

401
00:16:19,746 --> 00:16:22,482
You don't know what she's like
when you're not there, Louis.

402
00:16:22,515 --> 00:16:24,317
I'm sure she was nervous.

403
00:16:24,351 --> 00:16:26,153
You were probably staring
at her the whole time.

404
00:16:26,186 --> 00:16:28,955
You have to give her
a fair chance.

405
00:16:28,988 --> 00:16:31,358
Now, I talked to her,
and she agreed to come back.

406
00:16:31,391 --> 00:16:34,227
I don't think
that's a good idea --
As long as you weren't there.

407
00:16:34,261 --> 00:16:36,396
She's there right now,
isn't she?

408
00:16:36,429 --> 00:16:37,797
Mom let her in.

409
00:16:37,830 --> 00:16:40,633
You are all on my list.

410
00:16:40,667 --> 00:16:43,536
You, your mother...

411
00:16:43,570 --> 00:16:45,205
Mary.
Mary.

412
00:16:45,238 --> 00:16:48,608
All in a line
at the top of my list.

413
00:16:50,243 --> 00:16:55,782
That being said,
I respect your trickery.

414
00:16:57,750 --> 00:16:59,519
Thank you, Mary.

415
00:17:00,787 --> 00:17:03,756
You didn't say
thank you to Mary.

416
00:17:03,790 --> 00:17:05,258
Are you okay?

417
00:17:05,292 --> 00:17:06,593
I'm fine.

418
00:17:06,626 --> 00:17:10,330
I just --
I miss elementary school.

419
00:17:10,363 --> 00:17:11,564
You do?

420
00:17:11,598 --> 00:17:14,234
Middle school's not as fun
as I thought it'd be.

421
00:17:14,267 --> 00:17:16,236
It's a lot more
complicated.

422
00:17:16,269 --> 00:17:18,671
Well, at least you have
Eddie there to help you.

423
00:17:18,705 --> 00:17:20,507
Eddie's kind of
the problem.

424
00:17:20,540 --> 00:17:22,642
(sighs)

425
00:17:27,147 --> 00:17:28,648
Tell me everything.

426
00:17:30,083 --> 00:17:31,751
EVAN: Brick!

427
00:17:33,253 --> 00:17:34,554
What the hell, man?

428
00:17:34,587 --> 00:17:37,257
I'm sorry. Did I just
ruin something for you?

429
00:17:37,290 --> 00:17:38,591
What are
you talking about?

430
00:17:38,625 --> 00:17:40,693
Everything you touch
turns to dog-doo.

431
00:17:40,727 --> 00:17:42,595
Let me guess.
You talked to Emery.

432
00:17:42,629 --> 00:17:44,964
He left elementary school
a joyful boy.

433
00:17:44,997 --> 00:17:47,467
One day with you, Eddie --
one day!

434
00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:49,469
He can't even lift
his head long enough

435
00:17:49,502 --> 00:17:50,970
to say thank you
to the maid.

436
00:17:51,003 --> 00:17:52,105
What maid?

437
00:17:52,139 --> 00:17:54,107
Emery's not like you.

438
00:17:54,141 --> 00:17:57,377
He just wants to be himself,
and you're not letting him.

439
00:17:57,410 --> 00:18:00,380
Why? Because I'm blazing trails
and breaking chains?

440
00:18:00,413 --> 00:18:02,715
You're breaking
your brother's spirit.

441
00:18:02,749 --> 00:18:04,117
He's just Emery.

442
00:18:04,151 --> 00:18:06,653
Stop making him feel bad
for being who he is.

443
00:18:06,686 --> 00:18:08,421
**

444
00:18:10,923 --> 00:18:12,559
(door closes)

445
00:18:12,592 --> 00:18:13,560
JESSICA: Wow.

446
00:18:13,593 --> 00:18:16,963
The house
looks incredible.

447
00:18:16,996 --> 00:18:21,634
She even got the bleach stain
out of the cushion.

448
00:18:21,668 --> 00:18:24,337
My mice.
(panting)

449
00:18:29,542 --> 00:18:33,146
Did she touch up
the rhubarb?

450
00:18:33,180 --> 00:18:36,183
It's so vibrant.

451
00:18:36,216 --> 00:18:38,585
I noticed it was chipped
the last time I was here,

452
00:18:38,618 --> 00:18:41,087
so I brought
some model paint.

453
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:43,456
I hope that's okay.

454
00:18:46,025 --> 00:18:49,462
See? I told you.
Isn't this great?

455
00:18:49,496 --> 00:18:51,631
Yes, it is.

456
00:18:51,664 --> 00:18:52,999
(sighs)
What?

457
00:18:53,032 --> 00:18:55,668
This is what
I was afraid of.

458
00:18:55,702 --> 00:18:58,505
What's next? We hire
somebody to do our taxes,

459
00:18:58,538 --> 00:19:01,274
cut the grass, remove
asbestos from the ceiling?

460
00:19:01,308 --> 00:19:04,177
Maybe. If we could afford it,
what's wrong with that?

461
00:19:04,211 --> 00:19:06,546
A family is supposed to
do things for each other,

462
00:19:06,579 --> 00:19:09,349
not hire strangers
to do them.

463
00:19:09,382 --> 00:19:11,518
But we don't like
doing those things.

464
00:19:11,551 --> 00:19:14,621
At Cattleman's, I hire people
to do things I don't want to do.

465
00:19:14,654 --> 00:19:17,190
I don't want to run
our house like a business.

466
00:19:17,224 --> 00:19:21,194
No, I don't love
cleaning up after everybody,

467
00:19:21,228 --> 00:19:23,863
but they need me to.

468
00:19:23,896 --> 00:19:25,465
I like that
they need me to.

469
00:19:25,498 --> 00:19:29,569
I don't want a stranger
taking care of my family.

470
00:19:29,602 --> 00:19:32,905
I want to be the one
taking care of them,

471
00:19:32,939 --> 00:19:36,209
and then resenting them
for not appreciating it.

472
00:19:36,243 --> 00:19:39,212
Well, I'm sorry
about the gift.

473
00:19:39,246 --> 00:19:41,381
We won't
have a housekeeper.

474
00:19:41,414 --> 00:19:44,717
You can clean
the house yourself.

475
00:19:44,751 --> 00:19:45,885
You win.

476
00:19:45,918 --> 00:19:48,087
Thank you.

477
00:19:49,622 --> 00:19:52,259
I did promise Mary
a ride home, though.

478
00:19:52,292 --> 00:19:57,163
* Un-break my heart,
say you'll love me again *

479
00:19:57,196 --> 00:20:00,567
Mary, how did you get
the stain out of the couch?

480
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,902
* Undo this hurt you caused
Oh, it's a family secret.

481
00:20:02,935 --> 00:20:05,171
(doors lock)

482
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:08,074
* When you walked out the door
and walked out of... *
How did you get it out, Mary?

483
00:20:08,107 --> 00:20:10,176
(school bell rings)

484
00:20:10,209 --> 00:20:12,111
**

485
00:20:12,144 --> 00:20:13,780
(indistinct conversations)

486
00:20:18,418 --> 00:20:20,620
(locker opens, closes)

487
00:20:22,088 --> 00:20:24,090
You signed me up
for Karate Club.

488
00:20:24,123 --> 00:20:27,360
If you want to do karate,
you should do karate.

489
00:20:27,394 --> 00:20:29,396
And you're
okay with that?

490
00:20:29,429 --> 00:20:30,630
I don't want to
embarrass you.

491
00:20:30,663 --> 00:20:32,632
Who cares what I think?

492
00:20:32,665 --> 00:20:34,467
Who cares
what anyone thinks?

493
00:20:34,501 --> 00:20:35,802
You do you, dawg.

494
00:20:35,835 --> 00:20:38,538
I'll just keep on putting those
cracks in the jade ceiling.

495
00:20:38,571 --> 00:20:40,239
Thanks.

496
00:20:41,808 --> 00:20:44,143
Oh, can we just
keep Harvest Day?

497
00:20:44,176 --> 00:20:47,213
Fine, as -- as long as
I don't miss any tests.

498
00:20:47,246 --> 00:20:49,382
We can't control
when Harvest Day is, Emery.

499
00:20:49,416 --> 00:20:51,050
That's up to the moon.

500
00:20:51,083 --> 00:20:52,352
(chuckles)

501
00:21:00,860 --> 00:21:02,595
Hi. Can I sit here?

502
00:21:02,629 --> 00:21:05,998
**

503
00:21:06,032 --> 00:21:08,401
What made you
change seats?

504
00:21:08,435 --> 00:21:10,136
I don't need bus time
with my brother.

505
00:21:10,169 --> 00:21:11,338
I live with him.

506
00:21:11,371 --> 00:21:15,041
But it's nice to keep
his memory alive here, too.

507
00:21:18,711 --> 00:21:22,081
(screams)

508
00:21:22,114 --> 00:21:23,416
Emery's dead?!

509
00:21:23,450 --> 00:21:26,018
I thought he just went
to middle school!

510
00:21:26,052 --> 00:21:28,821
That's Sharlene.
She's a real pill.
