Smile, man. You look pretty.

You gonna cry? You gonna cry?

80

00:
04:44,234 -- 00:04:45,786

Sean, come on. Give it back.

81

00:
04:45,869 -- 00:04:48,793

Huh? You want your camera?

Piece of sh*t from, like, 2004?

82

00:
04:48,872 -- 00:04:51,216

Here you go. Here she is. In one piece.

83

00:
04:52,334 -- 00:04:54,132

- Oh!

- Oh, guys.

84

00:
04:54,211 -- 00:04:55,339

Almost.

85

00:
04:56,421 -- 00:04:59,095

A**holes! Come on!

86

00:
04:59,216 -- 00:05:01,685

All right. You ready to bounce? Yeah.

87

00:
05:03,762 -- 00:05:05,685

There's a party tonight.

88

00:
05:06,431 -- 00:05:07,933

Okay.

89

00:
05:09,518 -- 00:05:11,737

Haven Hills.

90

00:
05:11,812 -- 00:05:14,031

Wait. I thought Haven Hills was closed.

91

00:
05:14,105 -- 00:05:16,073

It's abandoned, yeah.

What, you don't want to go?

92

00:
05:16,149 -- 00:05:17,651

No.

93

00:
05:18,568 -- 00:05:21,538

When was the last time you went

to a party? I don't go to parties.

94

00:
05:22,280 -- 00:05:24,499

You're a senior. You are a

senior. I don't go to parties.

95

00:
05:24,616 -- 00:05:26,493

Just come. I'll think about it, okay?

96

00:
05:26,576 -- 00:05:27,828

Okay.

97

00:
05:27,911 -- 00:05:31,381

But when we go tonight, Andrew,

can I give you, like, a pro tip?

98

00:
05:31,456 -- 00:05:32,628

What?

99

00:
05:32,707 -- 00:05:34,960

Maybe leave your camera at home.

100

00:
05:35,085 -- 00:05:38,134

Why? Because it's a little weird.

101

00:
05:38,213 -- 00:05:39,681

It serves a purpose.

102

00:
05:39,756 -- 00:05:43,135

I'm... I'm just trying to

be a good cousin here, okay?

103

00:
05:43,218 -- 00:05:45,346

This is me being your

friend and telling you...

104

00:
05:45,428 -- 00:05:49,149

you should probably not

take the camera to a party.

105

00:
05:50,058 -- 00:05:52,186

Okay.

106

00:
05:52,269 -- 00:05:54,488

This is my street.

107

00:
05:55,480 -- 00:05:59,530

And those are the official

douche bags of my street.

108

00:
05:59,651 -- 00:06:01,403

What the hell's that? Oh, great.

109

00:
06:01,486 -- 00:06:03,614

Hey! What you doing? Andrew!

110

00:
06:03,738 -- 00:06:05,866

No, I wasn't... Don't film

me, Detmer! Don't film me.

111

00:
06:05,949 -- 00:06:07,496

Run to your house, b*tch!

112

00:
06:07,576 -- 00:06:09,920

This is where I eat lunch.

113

00:
06:10,787 -- 00:06:12,789

Out here on the bleachers.

114

00:
06:25,051 -- 00:06:27,645

What do you want?

115

00:
06:29,431 -- 00:06:32,651

When I say open that door,

you open the door. You got it?

116

00:
06:33,351 -- 00:06:35,570

Finish your goddamn homework.

117

00:
07:07,510 -- 00:07:10,810

Matt, are you sure it's here?

Dude, it's here. Calm down, okay?
