I'm sorry.

KATHY:
I miss

your father, too.

But he would have wanted this.

You're just as smart

as him, you know.

I'm not gonna

let that go to waste.

Okay.

KATHY:
It is

what it is, David.

There's nothing you can

do about it now.

CHRIS:
(LAUGHING)

What are you, sulking?

DAVID:
God! You scared

the sh*t out of me.

(CHRIS CHUCKLING)

I'm not sulking.

CHRIS:
Dude,

you should be happy.

You're getting

what you wanted.

I'm the one who's

getting screwed.

This isn't

what I wanted, Chris.

CHRIS:

I remember this thing.

DAVID:
I'm trying

to solve this, okay?

CHRIS:
How are you solving

this in the creepy attic?

DAVID:
Uh...

It's dumb.

You know, there's this one

last scholarship where I have

to submit a proposal for

an experiment and I thought

maybe if I got it,

Mom wouldn't

have to sell the house.

CHRIS:
Huh. Dad must

have a million ideas

lying around up here.

I don't know, Chris.

I mean, I thought there'd

be something up here.

I can't find

anything I can use.

CHRIS:
Hey, what is this?

When did we get

a video camera?

Oh, that's Dad's old camera,

yeah. Remember that?

CHRIS:
Yeah.

(LAUGHING) Hey,

look, it still works.

DAVID:
Really?

Wow. Yeah.

Let me see.

Check it out.

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING

FROM VIDEO CAMERA)

That's my seventh birthday.

I guess it makes sense

that's the last thing

he would have

filmed, right.

F***.

Quinn, I'm telling you,

I'm looking at it right now.

You were a chubby kid.

Come here.

(DAVID LAUGHING)

No, I mean, it's weird

to hear his voice

for the first time, like,

after all these years.

Are you getting this?

BOY:
Light the last three.

DAVID:
What was that?

Here we go.

DAVID:
Hold on a sec.

Nothing, I just saw something

weird in the mirror.

Are you getting this?

BOY:
Light the last three.

DAVID:
Holy sh*t.

Quinn, I got to go.

Chris! Chris, come down here!

I don't... I don't understand.

DAVID:
It just is. I got

to show Quinn and Adam.

There's this footage of me

at my seventh birthday.

I mean, I was at

my seventh birthday.

We were all at your

seventh birthday.

CHRIS:
No sh*t.

No, I know, I know. Here.

Just... You don't understand.

Just watch this.

CHRIS:
I still think it's

just a glitch in the camera.

Oh!

DAVID:
So right...

Wow!

Right as this lady walks by.

Oh, my God,

I remember this.

DAVID:
No, no, no.

Right as this lady walks by,

look in the mirror...

Right there, right there!

Did you guys just see that?

QUINN:
Dude, I was

so frickin' cute.

CHRIS:
Dude, I was cute.

Adam fell off

that frigging bike

and it was the funniest thing

I'd ever seen.

Am I...

Do I exist in the world?

Are you guys even

seeing me right now?
