Here on Earth Page #2

Synopsis: The lives of three young people - a rich student, a girl from the "wrong side of the tracks" and her boyfriend - unexpectedly intersect during one fateful summer in the romantic drama "Here on Earth." Kelley Morse (Chris Klein), who is cocky and brash, normally would never have crossed paths with the residents of a small town near his posh private school. But when he takes his shiny new Mercedes out for a drive, he locks horns with some of the locals, including Jasper (Josh Hartnett). As Jasper's willful girlfriend Samantha (Leelee Sobieski) looks on, Kelley and Jasper engage in a dangerous car race that turns disastrous, leaving a popular diner owned by Samantha's mother in ruins. Kelley and Jasper are sentenced to a creatively ironic but fitting punishment: They must help rebuild the diner. Not only does this ruin Kelley's summer plans, he also must board at the home of his rival, Jasper. Kelley begins to fulfill his "sentence," but refuses to have anything to do with Jasper and his

No lie. You make

me feel better about...

- Oh, my God.

- Holy sh*t.

Hey, Richie.

Come and get it.

Come on, farm boy.

- Yeah!

- Push it down. Get 'em!

I should remind you not to go over 50 miles per hour

for the first thousand miles.

Shut up, Charlie.

- Are there any air bags back here?

[Steve]:
- Shut up, Charlie!

[Pete]:
Hi, pussies.

This isn't fun. I'm not having fun.

[Steve]:
What are you doing?

[Shouts]

That's what I'm talkin' about!

- Punch it!

- [Steve]:
He's right behind you.

- [Pedestrians Screaming]

- [Tires Screeching]

Samantha.

[Sirens Wailing]

We're gonna have a few questions at the station,

so get in the back of the car.

Watch your heads.

You should probably come down to the hospital

and get checked out.

Really, I'm fine.

You know who I am, son?

Sheriff Cavanaugh?

My wife is Jo Cavanaugh,

and her mother was Mable.

You almost took my daughter

from me tonight.

So, you rise me one more time,

this sh*t heap you're in is just gonna get deeper.

Sheriff, if this is a threat...

[Grunts]

- What the hell is goin' on?

- The nice thing about my job is I don't have to threaten anybody.

[EARL]:
Grab them too.

Me? Hey, I was

practically kidnapped!

I understand you're

from New York, Your Honor.

- Born and bred.

- Me too. Upper East Side.

Good for you. But we're not bonding here,

so don't get your dress over your head.

Mr. Morse, I presume.

Good.

[VIN]:
Your Honor, we were thinking that

some sort of probation would be appropriate.

[Judge]:
Probation, huh?

Let's think it through.

They talk to a probation officer

once a week for a year or so.

Maybe do a couple hundred hours of volunteer work

at a community center.

That what you had in mind?

- Something like that, yes.

- Not gonna happen, but thanks for playin'.

Gentlemen !

I don't know what your lawyers told you,

but this is pretty serious stuff.

A probation walk was fine

for the other boys, the ones in the cars with you,

but you two were the cowboys

behind the wheel.

We're gonna have to do

something different with you.

I understand Mr. Arnold has been

contracted to rebuild Mable's.

Yes, that's right, Your Honor.

We'd like to make another suggestion,

with the court's permission.

- Shoot.

- Mr. Morse has graciously offered to pay...

for the restaurant,

as long as all charges against his son are dropped.

- That sounds nice, huh?

- We thought it appropriate.

Not in my court.

In my court, you fix what you broke.

So here it is. I'd be willing

to dismiss all charges in this case...

if the boys volunteer

for community service...

working with the crew

rebuilding Mable's Table.

It's a chance to put back
