Hey, Mickey.

- Don't tell Mom.

- Don't tell me what?

Nothing. I forgot to go

to the store. No milk.

Fresh one down in the fridge.

What's that you got

behind your back?

Mom, you should've

seen his face.

You're a pushover, young man.

- Good morning, sir.

- Hey, Ben.

- Sit down.

- Sure.

- How do you feel?

- Good.

- Did you swim this morning?

- Yeah.

What are your holding

for your hundreds?

Fifty plus on the minute-thirty.

Not bad.

I can get it under 45, I think.

Can you do it in time

for the Fillmore meet?

Why?

Stanford scouts are flying down.

For the next 8 days,

I want you living in that pool.

And when you're not swimming,

I want you thinking about it.

I want you dreaming about it.

- You hear me?

- Yeah.

I don't mean to put any

undue pressure on you.

What are we talking about here,

your entire future?

Right. Right.

Go and change.

Alright. Thank you.

California boy, can I

have your autograph?

Nasty.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you.

- Nervous?

- Yeah, a little bit.

- You're gonna kick ass.

- I hope so.

That is, until I outswim

your little punk ass.

And those scouts forget your name

and grant me the scholarship.

I just remembered why

we broke up, Josh.

You couldn't handle me in bed.

No, because you're an a**hole.

Ben just got good news.

The response is congratulations.

You're right.

Congratulations, d*ckhead.

- Let's not be mature today.

- I'm all for that.

Let's make it Opposite Day

and everybody be immature.

Hey, watch it!

Forget about it.

Hey, Dante.

He's crazy. He's a freak.

- Hey, congrats.

- Thanks.

- So...

- So?

It might actually happen?

Can you picture it?

Me in California?

- And me in Rhode Island.

- Yeah.

- That's 3,000 miles.

- I know how many miles it is.

- I love you.

- I love you too.

Nothing is going to change that.

- I bought you something.

- What?

Open it first.

- That is so beautiful.

- You're beautiful.

- You're so beautiful.

- Thank you.

I would even be here if it

wasn't for you believing in me.

This is a ploy to get laid.

Is it working?

Excuse me?

I can't get this thing open

and I'm late for English.

Do you think you could...?

I can take a look, yeah.

They gave me the combination, but...

I don't need it. I just need...

...that, right there.

- This?

Thank you.

Can't let you be late

on your first day.

Is it that obvious?

Thank you so much.

- Here.

- Keep it.

You never know when

I might need saving again.

I'm Madison Bell.

Ben Cronin. Hi.

What the letter for, Ben Cronin?

The letter is for swimming,

Madison Bell.

- Are you good?

- I'm okay, yeah.

See you around.

- See you.

- Bye.

- There's my swim champ.

- Mom...

Better get started with Mr. Tillman.

He's been asking for you.

Ben! Give me some good news.

Scouts are coming next week.

Girl Scouts?

No, swim scouts, from Stanford,

to see me.

I asked you to find me a woman.

It's hard to find anyone in

your age bracket still breathing.

Here you go.

I almost forgot...

That's my boy!

Anything else?

You guys okay?

- Did you miss me?

- Like crazy.

Wait. I've been thinking.

What if I didn't go to

Rhode Island next year?

What do you mean?

What if I went to Berkeley instead?

We'd be closer when you

go to Stanford and...

- We could get an apartment.

- Amy.

- I haven't gotten in yet.

- But you will.

If you hate the idea, it's okay.

No, are you kidding?

It's a great idea.

- Really?

- Really. It's a great idea.

Morning, Benjamin.

- A little early for you, isn't it?

- Yes, it is.

I thought I'd get a little

lane time in before the rush.
