Here on Earth Page #4

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

- I'm the one that mastered it.

- [Sputtering]

[Both Laughing]

[Whistles]

[Pounding]

Time to get up, Richie.

Gotta evacuate the cows.

Is there a gas leak or something?

Evacuating.

You're out of your mind if you think

I'm touchin' that thing.

[Betsy]:
Well, good morning.

- Can I fix you something?

- Breakfast is served after morning chores.

I don't eat breakfast.

I was just coming in to find out when we leave for work.

Be at the truck in 20 minutes.

-[Jasper]:
Not getting tired, are you, Richie?

-[Kelley]:
No.

-[Kelley]:
Got an extra hour's sleep

while you were fondling your cows.

[Malcolm]:
That's lunch!

Break time, guys.

Food and drink's in the cooler.

I'll get my own lunch.

[Malcolm]:
Suit yourself.

Lunch! Let's go.

Okay, I'm outta here.

- [Kiss]

- Good to be your father.

Good to be your daughter.

- Do you know what I was thinking about last night, Mom?

- What?

They're giving us all this money

to rebuild. Right?

So we can start all over from scratch and have fun.

We can go to antique stores...

and flea markets

and get funky furniture.

We could do that.

We could stop on the way back from Dr. Falco's.

[Sighs]

I completely forgot about Dr. Falco.

That's a good sign.

I guess your knee hasn't been bothering you.

Mom, my knee's fine.

- So can I cancel Dr. Falco?

- No.

- Oh, I hate this.

- I know.

He's just making sure everything's still okay.

My knee's fine.

Why do we have to keep coming here?

- Because the doctor said so.

- [Nurse]:
Samantha?

[Pastor]:
When something is taken away

from us so violently,

like the recent fire at Mable's Table,

we are forced to ask questions.

Was it simply a terrible accident?

Atoms colliding at random?

A result of young people

making poor choices?

Or was it the hand of God...

a part of a larger plan

that He might have for us?

[Pete]:
Hey, Jasper. Where's

your new pal Kelley today?

[Jasper]:
Oh, he's at your house, getting busy with your mom.

[Pete]:
Really? 'Cause last night when I was with your mom,

she said he was kind of cute.

It made me jealous.

- Enough with the mother thing already.

- I second that.

- Excuse me.

What? I'm just saying

enough's enough. I like your mom.

Hey, guys. We're goin'

skinny dipping tonight. Wanna come?

- Dad's making me work.

- My man looks good naked.

- [Giggles]

- Yeah, I'm like Tarzan.

- See you later?

- Mm-hmm.

[Crowd Applauding Nearby]

[Kelley]:
Good afternoon,

classmates and invited guests.

Today we mark the end

of our infancy,

the end of our childhood,

the end of our beginning.

As new graduates we look forward

with hope to the future,

and then the future

becomes the past.
