Liv...

Liv, wake up.

Come on! Hurry!

Hurry!

Let's go! Almost there!

Don't look down.

Look at me, look at me.

Come on. Keep coming.

It's okay, it's okay.

There you go. Grab my hand.

I got you.

Oh, hello, miss Grey.

Hi.

How are you?

Well, thank you.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Oh. No. Not a problem

at all, sir.

Listen, I wanted

to tell you myself

that you have the highest

consistent GPA of your class

which means, at this rate,

you're going to be the person

to beat for valedictorian.

That's great.

I thought you'd be more excited.

Oh, I am. But there is still

a whole year left, so...

Where are you thinking

you'll apply for next fall?

Yale.

I've always planned

on going to Yale.

Well, you have a very

impressive record, miss Grey.

I think you're gonna have a lot

of wonderful opportunities.

If you like, I've made up

this list of schools

that I think would be wonderful

for you to consider

along with Yale.

I'm sure if you

set your mind to it,

you could get into all of them.

At the beginning of every

year, we have endless time.

You're the top of our class.

You should be

celebrating tonight.

I might be.

I don't want to celebrate

something that I might be.

Come on.

It's a Monday. No.

It's like we pretend

that death isn't coming.

I mean, we're all

gonna die, aren't we?

All right. Show of hands.

Who in here is not going to die?

Anyone?

Death is not something

that we like to think about,

but without death,

we have no context,

and if we have no context,

we have no meaning.

Why are we breathing?

I want you to take

a look around right now.

There's your meaning.

Individually, we cannot create a life

of meaning in the face of history,

but together, your community,

your family, your friends,

you can build a life of

meaning and leave a legacy.

Let us pray.

All right. Now we're

definitely throwing a party.

Oh, my god, shut up!

It's not for you.

It's for the community.

Otherwise my life

is meaningless.

Come on.

My parents aren't home.

My place.

Your face.

Wait, what are you doing

to my sister's face?

I'm throwing it a party.

Brack told her she's

number one in our class.

Hey, don't tell Casey about it, though.

She's gonna be really weird.

All right.

- Amen.

- Amen.

And now for a few words from

your senior class president,

Mr. Matthew Grey!

Hey.

The party is for you.

I have something special

I want to give you.

Thank you!

Oh, no. What?

Let me hear you make some

noise for our seniors!

You're gonna have to brave a party

on Monday night to find out.

We'll always be together.

So how far did

you run today, baby?

Um, just around

the loop and back.

Did you go to the top?

No.

Why not?

You go to the top,

it's exactly 5 miles.

I used to run it every morning.

You're young. You shouldn't

have any problem.

My back these days,

won't let me do anything.

And I asked you to stop

making these potatoes.

I'm gaining weight again.

You love them.

I'm sorry your

back's hurting, daddy.

Olivia's gonna be valedictorian.

Really?

Matt...

What?

Sweetheart, that's amazing.

Why didn't you say something?

'Cause there's still

a whole year.

Well, what's gonna change?

Olivia, sweetheart, you

don't have to be so modest.

It's gonna help people

to take you more seriously.

And let's face it,

you're a beautiful girl,

and that's the first thing

and sometimes the only thing

people see

when they look at you.

Just like your mom.

What about you, Matthew?

Are you gonna let your

sister be the smart twin,

or do grades not matter for

the senior class president?

Nah, not really.

All right. Well, you better

stay on track, Mattie boy,

'cause you're going to get

tapped your freshman year.

Tom!

What?

I was.

I barely kept my grades

with that social scene.

Phew!

Ugh!

I don't know. I feel like

I shouldn't have come.

This is the first

night of school.

You're right.

You should go home, study.

We need to wean

Julian off you, anyway.

Shut up.

Listen, Liv,

this is your night, okay?

I'm not gonna drink.

I'll stay sober.

We'll get home early.

Everything will be fine.

You just have to

do one thing for me.

What?

Have fun.

How am I gonna do it?

You just kind of

got to mingle and dance.

No!

How am I ever

gonna be away from you?

I think it's gonna be all right.

You won't even think about me.

You won't.

We want to get the circle going.

Come on, give me a circle.

All right!

Let's go create a legacy.

How you doing, man?

What's up, man?

Come on.

There he is.

Oh, come on now.

What's up, Dave?

What's up?

J! Tie this girl to a

seat and give her a shot

before she changes her mind.

Hey, where are your parents?

Now, what is the point of buying

a goddamn houseboat, Cheryl,

if you can't use it?

Lucky.

Here.

Uh, I'm good, man.

I'm good. I shall abstain.

No, Matt. Come on.

Hey, I can totally drive home.

Ladies, gentlemen!

A moment of your time, please, to

celebrate my wonderful sister.

Oh, my god.

May her reign of academic glory

actually realize without her

collapsing in total flames of failure.

Liv!

Thanks, bro. Thanks.

Cheers, Liv.

Oh, come on, all of it.

Oh! Matt!

Sh*t. Sorry.

Hey, Casey.

How you doing, girl?

Good. How are you?

Good.

Hey. Hey.

Hey, Liv!

Congrats. Matt told me.

Oh, cool.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool.

Uh... 11:
45 at the car, okay?

Don't be late.

Try and have some fun.
