Here on Earth Page #3

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

what you took,

and maybe, just maybe,

it'll not only result

in the building of a restaurant,

but in the building

of character as well.

You can have some time

to talk it over with your attorneys.

That's okay, Judge.

We'll take the deal.

Your Honor, that's completely impractical for Calvin.

Where would he live?

Even if Rallston would take him,

the dorms are closed for the summer.

The nearest motel is 30 miles away, Your Honor,

and his driver's license

has been revoked.

Actually, we have a room

above our garage.

The boy could pay rent.

[JUDGE]:
It works for me.

How about you, Counselor?

[VIN]:
That's acceptable to us as well, Your Honor.

Another Rallston boy takes a bite out of

the Cavanaugh family.

I had nothing to do with this one.

I wasn't even here. Exactly.

You... Nobody's blaming anybody.

It would have been nice if one of you'd called me

when the trouble first started.

[JO]:
I remember when Jesse

and Alice carved this.

Mom, remember what you said

to me so many times?

As long as we're all alive,

it's nothing more than a bad day. Right?

Yeah. We can beat a bad day. Right?

[Sighs]

Right.

They're here! They're here!

That's because he doesn't like

the percentage we're offering.

Then he's gonna have to

come up with a better deal.

It's a matter... Yeah. I gotta go.

Listen, I worked everything out with these people,

including your meals.

So all you're gonna need is some spending money.

This should last you for a while,

but if you need some more,

you just call my office.

- I'm gonna be a little hard to reach for the next few weeks.

- Okay.

- [Betsy]:
Hello there.

- [John]:
Good afternoon.

Hey. I'm running a little late,

and I have a flight to catch,

so I assume there's nothing

else we need to discuss.

No. I think we're good.

Your room's right above the garage if you want to go up.

Now, you remember what I told you.

Keep your eyes forward on the important things.

Yes, sir.

[Robin]:
That's Ralph.

He lives here too.

Perfect.

Maybe I should take him up a plate.

Honey, we offered.

When he gets hungry, he'll come down.

[Jasper]:
Let him starve.

After everything he did.

How many cars were

in that race, anyway?

- Two.

- Was he driving both of them?

I think he's hot.

[Choking]

My dad's already got me

fixing fence posts till I'm 90.

Plus the work at Mable's.

I got enough problems without you being mad at me.

I just think you could have been

the bigger man. That's all.

All right. Okay.

Well. Is everything

still okay with us?

[Whistles]

God, we haven't done that

in about a hundred years.

- [Sputtering]

- [Laughing]

You were never very good at that.

Ah, but I'm the one that taught you.
