- And Drama.

- I'm not in Drama.

- Well, you are now.

Your uncle's an angry man.

Some people think he's stupid,

but that's not true.

When someone carries that sort of anger

around all the time, they can seem stupid.

That's the thing about anger.

It sucks up a lot of intelligence.

- Hey! Hey! What are you doing?

- You can't park here, man.

So write me a ticket!

I don't write the tickets.

You already got a ticket.

- It's $55 to get me to stop.

- Otherwise?

Otherwise, I'm gonna tow

your f***ing car away.

- Lady, I promise, I'm very good at this.

- F***!

I'm going to pick it up,

we're gonna get out of here,

everything's gonna be good. It's easy...

Nothing, nothing,

nothing can happen to this car.

Lady, I promise.

Nothing's going to happen, okay?

Why don't you take a break? I promise.

Yeah?

I was driving it normally.

He said it was gonna be fine.

What do you want me to do?

It's not my fault. The car just died.

Well, I didn't do

anything. It's not my fault.

He's a f***ing tow truck driver.

I didn't ask for his credentials.

Hop in the truck. I'll be two seconds.

We good, man?

- May I open your bag?

- Sure.

It's heavy.

Please do not leave your bags unattended.

What they found at the bottom

of my mother's bag

were concealed plastic explosives

and a detonator.

And if the bomb had gone off in mid-air,

as my father intended,

all 400 people on board that flight

would have perished.

I wouldn't be here to tell you the story.

Simon is my best friend,

and I was really confused, too,

when he was standing in front of

the classroom and he was talking,

and I didn't know anything about it.

But then...

You have to wake up and stop living

in your ignorant little box. Seriously.

I am not living in an ignorant, little box.

If he didn't want to tell me about

something like this,

then there must have been a good reason.

And if he doesn't want

to talk to us about it,

then there's a good reason for that, too.

So I think we should all

just leave him alone because...

A lot of you are wondering

why I haven't told you about this before.

The reason is, well, I've...

I only found out a few months ago myself.

I was asking my grandpa

a whole lot of questions before he died,

and I kept this on my cell as a reminder.

You have to believe me, Simon.

Your father was a killer.

If the bomb had gone off in mid-air,

as my father intended,

it would have been the most devastating

terrorist attack of its time

and my father would have gone down

in history as a mass-murderer.

Except he wouldn't have gone down

as my father.

I would have disappeared

in my mother's womb,

along with all the other passengers
