Final score, Pacific, 69, El Capitan, 68.

Hey, Jake. Nice shot.

Thank you.

- Do I know you?

- Roger's funeral.

- You're that pastor.

- Yeah. My friends call me Chris.

Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself.

- Cool. I'm not really religious, though.

- Neither am I.

I've been looking everywhere for you.

I saw three recruiters tonight

and they were so impressed.

Sweet.

So, has Doug thanked you

for bailing him out yet?

Nope. Hey, Amy, this is Chris.

- Hi. Good to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

- Everybody's waiting for us.

- Okay.

Hey. I know what you're going through,

so if you ever want to talk...

All right, kiddo. Let's go see Mama.

Who was that?

Chris.

- Party time?

- Yep.

- Bro, reporters finally done with you?

- You know it.

You guys have a good time tonight.

I'm getting stupid.

Yes! The party has arrived!

Everybody, Jake Taylor's here.

Jake Taylor's totally here.

Beer?

- This is for you, young lady.

- Thank you.

Everybody, to Jake.

The man who's always had my back.

- Jake!

- Jake!

Dude, check that out, man.

Wizard Wars?

The best part is, there's this

nerd at school who plays this game.

I gave him this flyer

and he swore he'd come.

He's gonna show up in Wizard Wars gear.

You're crazy, bro. You are. Let's go party!

I'm not, like, clinically insane.

You are a lucky man.

Get one of your own.

She's the one everyone wants.

What? Are you serious?

Everybody, look. Check out this...

Check out this fruitcake.

Look, there he is in costume.

Man, what level are you?

What's wrong with you?

You gonna cast a spell on me, man?

It's funny. Come on, dance with me.

It's the po-po, y'all.

Get out! Get out!

- Everybody!

- Let's go!

Do you hear the police?

Come on, get dressed.

- Let's do it again.

- I'm not kidding. Let's go.

- You know you want to.

- Jake.

You know what? Screw it.

You want to lose your scholarship?

Go ahead, be my guest.

- What's your name?

- Tyler.

You live here?

- That's what she said, man. At least to me.

- Yeah, it was.

Where's my truck?

Amy?

Doug, it's Jake. Where are you?

Where am I? Me?

Yeah, I'm here. I'm at the party.

I'm not even talking to you.

Amy took my truck. Come get me.

Call me back.

Matthew, answer the phone.

Your grandma calls you "Matthew."

Hey, it's Jake, and I need a ride.

'Cause you guys left.

And I'm still here, outside, walking around.

Sober up and pick me up.

So, text me or call me. Help me.

What the hell?

I hate chick flicks.

Are you...?

Your secret's safe with me,

girly boy.

- What? Something flew in my eye.

- Right.

- Who's calling at 11:30?

- Hello?

Yeah.

All right, yeah, I'll be right there.

- Where are you going?
