That's not what your mom said last night.

Yeah, she told me she gets sad when she sees you.

I'm in here for smacking some kid's head on the sidewalk for messing with me...

I didn't mean it like that. I was just trying to lighten things up.

You guys called me a loser, so I thought it would be funny.

Oh, dead mom jokes are hilarious.

I know I laugh every time I think of my dead mom.

Your mom? [sighs]

My mom's not dead, you idiot.

But you see how that's not funny?

No dead mom jokes ever again.

Don't apologize to me. I'm in here for stealing.

I told you coming on the weekend would get us the best visual real estate in the school.

I'm trying.

I said I needed privacy. This isn't what I meant.

Oh, okay, so you just want me to go?

Come here. That's not what I mean.

Only rocks I got are the ones I was born with.

On a Saturday?

It's a drill. We can just ignore it, right?

No.

No, we cannot ignore it.

Drills exist for a reason.

If Keller Chemical ever had a spill, knowing where to go and how to get there could save lives.

[scoffs]

Of course she's worried about following the rules.

You know that tight-ass?

I knew her.

Trust me, I wish I didn't.

Girl: Coach!

It's not a drill.

The chemical plant's on fire.

Please take your time coming down the stairs.

Stay calm, because everything's gonna be all right.

I have dinner reservations for this Friday.

When somebody doesn't respond to a text, it means no.

When someone like you really wants to say "no," they usually just say "no."

Well, I'm dating the captain of the basketball team.

I mean, you get that, right?

You know you should be with someone superior, I just don't think you get who that is.

[laughs]

Okay, your money may have gotten you into a few parties, but it's not enough to get you this.

What are you doing here?

Mom and Dad didn't say you were picking me up.

You're pathetic.

[indistinct chatter]

My mom was at the plant and said that there was some kind of expl*si*n.

Did she say what caused it?

My dad said it was a huge fire.

[rumbling]

[screaming]

Hey, let's keep it together, people.

Now, this shelter was built a long time ago to withstand just about anything.

We're gonna be safe no matter what happens down at Keller.

We could last in here for weeks if we had to.

You really think we'd be here for weeks?

Of course not.

I said we could be here, not that we will be.

My cousin said that the fire spread to two different buildings.

Thank you, Noodle.

But I'm sure they have everything under control.

The news says that there's reports of a spill.

Let me see that.

Did you reach Mom and Dad yet?

They're not answering the texts either.

Yeah, their phones are probably sitting on the counter as they work in the yard.

You know how they are.

Hey, Mom and Dad did not have work today.

They're not at the plant.
Yo, what you lookin' at?

Nothing.

Hey, you're that kid that sold your app for a million dollars, but didn't share it with the guy you made it with.

[scoffs] assh*le.

That matter was settled, and it wasn't a million dollars.

Oh, so it was less than a million dollars?

Okay, that's cool.

I didn't say it was less.

Hmm, two alphas in a d*ck fight.
