Hardflip (2012)

[bunniefuu]

It's another day in paradise.

Ain't this the life?

Yo!

Dude!

Why you filming for?

Do you know how much
this thing costs?

I don't like to be filmed.

What?

Hey, that was pretty sick.

How come I've never
seen you around?

I'm around, I just don't
like the park too much.

Just don't film
me anymore, okay?

You don't want a video?

Nope.

Dude, if you had a video,

people could check
out your mad skills.

I could hook you up.

The number one skate
video on YouTube, mine.

Wow.

That's awesome.

Hey, think about it.

Hosoi, hey. man,
what'; up?

So, you know that kid?

Nah, I just, I just met him.

That kid is really good.

Yeah, he rips it up.

Yeah.

Alright, man, take it easy.

See you around, man.

What's up, Zach?

What's gain' on, man?

How you doing?

Good.

Check it out, your
friend's back.

Oh.

Hey, you want to have some fun?

Let's do it.

Yeah, little bro.

What's for lunch, old man?

Food is a blessing.

Whatever.

Ha-ha-ha!

Nice.

I forgive you.

Save it.

Later.

We all need forgiveness.

Thank you.

I'm Ralf.

Mom?

Food in the oven.

Love,
Mom.“

Yes, yes, this
is Bethany Jones.

Well, well, okay, yes.

Can you just tell
me over the phone?

Thank you.

God.

Jasmine?

Yes.

Delivery for Jack Sanders.

Thank you.

Where's Stupack?

Stupack?

He's not here.

What do you mean he's not here?

He had a family emergency.

Why wasn't I told?

He said he'd be back shortly.

Who exactly is it that
signs your check?

You, sir.

Yeah, that'd be me.

How long ago did he leave?

Maybe two hours ago.

Get him on the phone.

Tell him I need
him in my office

in thirty minutes or...

Just, just my office,
thirty minutes.

Mr. Stupack, Mr. Sanders
needs you back

in the office immediately.

What?

Oh, Bill.

So happy you could join us.

Come on in.

Shut the door.

I'm really sorry about that.

My wife had an accident
on the floor...

Tell me, what, what is this?

That is the Childer's building.

Uh, I pulled all
the permits last week.

You did?

Uh-huh.

So, tell me what does,
what does that read?

Uh, quarter inch.

Yeah, and how about that?

What does that read?

Half inch.

You proofed these plans?

Yes, I don't know how this...

I'm not interested
in how this happened.

What I'm interested
in is happy clients.

I will get on it right away.

Yes, you will.

Now, the city expects
corrected plans

no later then nine o'clock.

Tomorrow morning,
Jack, that's...

That's what, Bill?

That's what?

Unreasonable?

Impossible?

Which one is it, Bill?

It's neither.

I'm sorry, I will get
on it right away.

Bill!

You might want to take
these with you.

Caleb.

Caleb!

Caleb!

Caleb!

Caleb!

What?

Do you think you could hear it?

I'm surprised the neighbors

haven't complained.

What?

Just wanted to talk
to you for a minute.

Well, I'm busy.

You're too busy
for your own momma?

Please tell me you didn't eat

a whole bag of chips
for dinner.

Okay, I won't.

Did you hear back
from any of those

art schools yet?

Nope.

What's that?

Can I see?

No, it's nothing.

Come on, let me see.

Mom, stop.

Oh, why?

You used to always let me see.

What is with you, huh?

It's not, it's not finished.

I'm not going to show
you if it's not finished.

You're so talented
just like your...

$top

Oh, honey, I know you,

you love to skate.

I know.

I just wish you would
invest your time

into something that could
offer you a future, you know?

Something more respectful.

Respectful?

You gotta be kidding me.

What does that mean?

Mom, skating is
my future, okay?

It's what's gonna take
me away from this place,

and when I go, I'm not,
I'm not coming back, Mom.

Is that what you think?

No, no, that's what I know.

I hate this place, okay?

It sucks.

What's with the attitude, huh?

I'm just trying to talk to you.

Now you wanna talk?

Mom, you're never home.

I'm never home because I'm out

working two jobs
to try to pay the rent

for this stupid place
that I barely can afford

and put food on the table.

I mean, where do you
think this skateboard

came from, huh?

You can go out and get a job.

Why don't you try
getting a job?

Help out.

Whatever.

Whatever.

Whatever, okay.

Look, I am doing
the best I can.

Yeah, well...

Yeah, well, what, huh?

You think l wanted
to lose the house?

Is that what you think?

The bills were filling up.

It's not my fault!

Your, your booze bill, Mom?

Is that what was pilling up?

What did you say?

You don't think I notice?

What?

You're probably why
I don't have a father.

What?

What?

Hey, not fair,
uh-uh.

Look, I know things

have been really hard lately

and it's been hard
for you to make friends,

but you will make
friends, you will,

and things will get better,

I promise you.

You and I are all we have.

So, can't we just...

Please, just let's
just cut each other

a little slack.

Can we just do that?

Because it's really
hard to be your mother

and your father.

Well, maybe you
should stop trying.

Oh, that's...

Something.

What's happening to us?

You got cash, man?

Please, God, take care of him.

Hey.
Honey

Home and it's still light out.

What's the occasion?

I wanted to make dinner for my

sarcastic yet wonderful son.

I hope you're hungry, 'cause

I'm going all out here.

Can you set the table?

'Where.-'re
you going?

To watch
T.V.

Honey, I really wanna
talk to you.

We haven't talked
in a long time,

and I have some stuff
to discuss with you.

Could you set the table?

You know, I've,
I've been having

these headaches lately,

and I had some tests
ta ken and...

Anyway, I, I wanted to talk
to you about your father.

I know you're really
confused about him,

and then I think it's time...

Confused?

What?

Confused?

How, how am I confused, Mom?

I've never had a father.

How is that confusing?

I just think that you
should know that...

Well, your father
and I, he was...

I know what happened.

You met a guy when
you were on vacation

and nine months later
you ended up with me.

I didn't end up with you.

I had a choice and I chose you.

I was a mistake.

You were not a mistake.

Don't ever say that.

You were not a mistake.

I don't wanna have this
conversation, okay?

It's stupid.

Well, wait, Caleb!

Caleb, I found
pot in your room.

What are you doing going
through my stuff?

What are you doing with pot?

Who cares?

Where did you get it?

Mom, why does it matter?

Look, I have a pot
dealer, okay?

It helps me get away
from like this

little perfect world
that we live in,

and you do the same thing
with your stupid pills.

My pills are for my headaches.

They're prescribed medication.

Pot is illegal.

Caleb, don't walk away from me.

I'm your mother.

Then why don't you
start acting like it?

What is this?

Who are you?

I don't even know

who you are anymore.

Well, the feeling's mutual.

Do you remember we used
to do stuff together, Mom?

Do you remember that?

Do you think I not know
about the liquor

you hide in the cabinets?

Ever since you've
started to drink,

you've never been the same.

You are such a hypocrite.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I hate you.

Honey?

Caleb!

Open this door right now!

Open this door right now!

I need to tell you something.

Open it!

Caleb, open this door!

Open Up!

Open this door!

Honey.

Oh.

Mom?

Mom?

Hey. hey.
Wake up.

Mom!

Oh my God, what's wrong?

Mom.

How long is she, uh...

A coma can last a day

or much, much longer,

but she can hear you.

Well, Denise, you look
beautiful as usual.

Thank you,
Mr. Sanders.

Pilot here yet?

Yes, he's out
preflighting the plane.

Great.

There's fresh coffee.

Why don't you go out and check.

Make sure
the Wi-Fi's working.

Yes, sir.

So, Santa Barbara?

Yes, Santa Barbara.

Business or pleasure?

What do you think?

That's too bad.

Are we ever gonna
have that dinner

you promised me?

Ah, sorry, this new
building's got me

working around the clock.

Well, all work and no play...

Makes Jack a very,
very wealthy boy.

I'll tell you what, Denise, um,

Saturday night, eight
o'clock, you busy?

:3:.

Great, I will see you there.

Okay-

Wait, where?

I don't know.

Pick it.

Text me.

No.

Make it work.

Yeah, I know that's
what you do, so do it.

Bye.

Good morning.

Hello, Stu pack.

The usual,
Mr. Sanders?

Yes, Tennille, please.

And for you,
Mr. Stupack?

Uh, just an ice tea.

Okay, I'll be right back.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Okay, so we decided
to put the staircase

here on the engineer's
recommendation.

Engineer's recommendation?

Oh, he wouldn't sign
off on the project

unless we put it there.

It's no good.

You set up a meeting
with that engineer.

I already tried.

He's booked.

The staircase goes
where I say it goes.

That's it, end of story.

Okay, I'll get on it.

Good.

Architecture used to be
about beauty, functionality.

If it's not beautiful,
then why are we doing it?

I used to be an artist.

I don't go running
around telling people,

but I had not
a dime to my name.

I was always paint splattered,

and I was really...

And one day
I was walking downtown,

and I realized what
good, really,

is a painting if there's

no wall to hang it on?

How's our usual
coming, Tennille?

It's coming, sir.

Just one ice cub.

I hear a rumor
it turns to water.

Yes, sir, I know.

Captain and Tennille.

Thank you.

Anything else for you, sir?

No, that's it.

Just get us to Santa Barbara.

You got it.

Thank you.

Mr. Jones.

Sorry to wake
you, Mr. Jones.

Caleb.

Call me Caleb.

Caleb, I think
it'd be a good idea

if you went home
and got some rest.

How much longer
until she's better?

Too soon to tell right now.

She could be in this state
for a little while.

I promise I'll let you know
if there's any change.

Right now she needs
to get some rest

and so do you.

I know I'm not family,

but if you need
anything, call me.

Don't get into trouble.

Oh!

Dude, you're late!

Hey, I was editing
your last video.

Oh, I was ripping, right?

You know it.

There you go.

Jerry, get us a few beers, man.

You got it, bro.

Hey, hey, I told you to stop

with the "bro" stuff, alright?

I'm sorry, man.

Yeah, don't let
that happen again.

You got it.

Yeah, hey, can I have one?

I don't think so.

Okay, I'll just, um, kick
it right here then.

Joey, here you go, man.

Nah, I'm good.

I'm just gonna...

It's cool.

No, you're gonna open that

and you're gonna drink it.

Okay-

Oh, man.

Alright, down to business, huh?

Wow.

Very funny.

Who, who we got?

Seriously, who we got?

Any prospects?

What's going on?

This new guy named Caleb.

What's up, man?

Yo.

Box is too full.

Wouldn't fit.

Than ks.

Ouch.

Excuse me.

I'm here to see
Mr. Sandco.

You mean
Mr. Sanders?

Yeah, whatever.

Name?

Caleb.

Okay, um-
I'm sorry,

but unless you have
an appointment

with Mr. Sanders,
I can't...

He's a very busy man.

Will you just tell
him I'm here?

Yeah, I'm sorry, sir.

I have a Caleb here to see you.

Oh, no, no, no.

Um, he's just a...

I'm his son.

Tell him.

Sir, he, um, says.

He says he's your son.

Yes, sir.

Sorry, he's about to step

into a really
important meeting,

so, um, he asked that I get
your telephone number.

My phone number?

Are you serious?

Sir, I'm so sorry.

Hold all my calls.

Listen, I'm really busy here.

So, what I think
we should do is

I think we should
plan a time where

we can really sit and talk.

I'll take you to dinner.

You name the place.

My treat.

Wow,

that is awfully nice of you.

Why don't you go ahead
and just take your meeting,

'cause I don't know what
I'm doing here anyway.

Wait.

No, see I spent eighteen
years waiting, Jack.

Eighteen.

It's no wonder she never
told me about you.

Then how did you find me?

By accident.

She knows you're here?

The last time I checked
she was in a coma.

What happened?

Do you care?

Do I care?

Yes, of course, I care.

I care.

Cancer.

Uh.

Listen, I'm, uh,
I'm, I'm, I'm sorry.

Uh, if there's
anything I can do.

If you need me to...

A little late for help.

Just a little late for that.

Listen, son, your mother...

Do not call me son, okay?

Never call me that!

Please keep your voice
down, alright?

This is nothing...

I'm sorry.

I...

Left.

You left.

You see, I'm what society
refers to as a bastard.

You know what that makes you?

Uh-huh,
never mind.

Here.

You can keep these.

She worked two jobs so she
never had to cash those,

and there is no way that
I'm gonna cash 'em now.

I know she never
cashed the checks.

She never cashed a check,

but I kept writing the checks.

I wrote those checks.

Nice move, Jack.

Why.
Huh?

Why?

To make you feel better
about yourself?

No.

Forget it.

Forget me.

Forget her.

Caleb.

Stay here, we need
to talk this through.

I've got more important
things to do.

Dear Beth,

I don't know how to say
what I wanna say,

except to just say it.

You know how much I love you,

and someday even
want to marry you,

but I'm just not ready
to be a father right now.

I was offered an internship
at a great architectural firm

in Boston, and it's
a great opportunity for me.

I know you'll make
the right choice.

You always do.

"Love,
Jack."

Nice combo, bro.

Oh, Ryder, what's up, buddy?

What's up, Tim.

Good to see you, man.

You should come skate
the bowl with us.

Yeah, let's do it.

Actually, you know what?

I'll meet you over there.

Right on.

See you then.

Joey, is that the guy?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's him.

Go follow him.

Alright.

Hey.
Caleb.

Caleb, wait up, man.

Hey, man, wait up.

Wait up.

What are you, stalking me?

No, I'm sorry, I just,
I really need to talk

to you about something.

It's important.

It better be good.

Do you wanna make
a lot of cash?

Yeah, that usually involves
something illegal.

No, dude, Skate Down.

Skate Down.

Lame.

If you win it,

sponsors will hear about it.

I'll get sponsored.

You really need to do this.

You have no idea
what I need to do.

You're just a geek
who runs around

with that stupid camera
that your daddy

probably bought you,

filming skaters that
you wish you could be.

Get lost.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm, I'm so sorry.

The meeting ran
very, very long.

You look beautiful.

Thank you.

Don't worry.

I ordered us a bottle of wine.

Terrific.

I hope you like it.

I'm sure I will,

and I could use a little
bit of that right now.

Here's to a wonderful evening.

A wonderful evening.

I'm glad we finally
got to do this.

Yes.

Yes?

Bill, you need to stay there

and get it done tonight.

I understand that, yes.

Kobayashi doesn't need
it 'til Wednesday,

but I want Kobayashi
to be happy.

When Kobayashi is happy,
then I am happy.

When I'm happy, you
still have a job.

Yes.

Bill, I'm at dinner,

and I really don't
wanna come over there

and hold your hand.

I'm sorry.

Alright.

I'm on my way.

I am so sorry.

I, I, uh, it's...

It's fine.

It's complicated.

Listen, I promise
I'll make it up to you.

Okay-

Okay?

Mm-hm.

I'll take care of the wine.

No, no, I'll...

It's fine, really.

She's still
in serious condition.

She's fading in and out, okay?

So, be patient.

You can only see her
for a few minutes.

Caleb, light conversation only.

Okay-

Mom?

Mom, can you hear me?

Hi, honey

How are you?

I'm good.

I'm...

How are you?

Did you hear from any
of those art schools yet?

Not yet.

Make sure that you tell
me when you do, okay?

I will.

I met him.

What's that, honey?

I said I love you, Mom.

I love you, too.

So much.

So much.

Yo, what's up, man?

What's up, buddy?

Are we all set?

You know it.

Who we got?

Just a bunch of kooks
from somewhere else.

Man, we got this.

What about the new kid?

Your boy Joey got this,
man, you know that.

He's the man, right?

Right, well, let's see it.

Hit him up.

Hello?

What up, man?

When's the footage
gonna be ready?

Yeah, dude, I'm
just finishing up

your video now, and I'll move

on to Caleb's footage next.

Good, good.

I wanna see how good
this guy really is.

For sure, man, I'll,
I'll bring it over

as soon as I'm done.

Good, and, Joey, you
make sure he shows up

for this thing.

You got it.

Alright, talk to you later.

Bye-bye.

Let's go.

Come on.

And that means no surfing.

Have you ever watched
him surf, David?

Yo.

Hey, you're here finally.

Yeah.

What's up?

Skate Down.

What about it?

Tomorrow night Ryder
wants to challenge you.

Who's Ryder?

He's the king of Skate Down.

If you b*at him,
you get sponsored.

That simple.

Yeah, well, I don't
think I can do it.

What, why not?

My mom's in the hospital.

You know, the winner
gets 3,000 bucks.

Hello?

I'll be right there.

Hey!

Oh, man.

I'm in.

Are you serious?

Good, man!

Yes, yes, alright.

So, where's it at?

Um, I don't know.

They let us know
about an hour beforehand.

Okay-

Oh, um, yeah.

One more thing
I forgot to mention.

It costs four bills to get in.

Four hundred dollars?

Sorry.

How am I supposed to...

I gotta go.

Sorry for calling you a geek.

I didn't mean it.

Where you going?

Come on.

Okay-

What're you doin'?

What's it look like I'm doing?

It looks like you don't
know what you're doing.

Well, you think you
could do better?

Dude, I forged more notes
in my senior year

than my mom will ever know.

I like the confidence.

Watch the skill.

You're making me nervous.

You're making me nervous, man.

Huh?

That's pretty good.

Ah, I get ten percent.

Yeah, if I win.

When you when.

Come on, let's show
'em what you got.

To the bank.

To the bank.

Excuse me.

Are you family?

What?

Oh, I'm 3...

We share a son.

Caleb?

Great kid.

Thank you.

I'm, uh, I'm Jack,
Jack Sanders.

Dr. Sheldon.

What, what happened?

She suffered a major
brain hemorrhage,

and because of the tumor
things got...

Tumor?

Is it operable?

We don't know yet.

Is Caleb aware of all this?

My God.

Okay, well, there it is.

Um, I want you to make sure

that she has the very
best of care.

Whatever she needs,
whenever she needs it.

That's...

What?

I'm afraid that her insurance

doesn't cover a majority

of the work that
we've already done.

I don't care about her
insurance, alright?

I will take care of the bill.

I want her to have
the very best of care.

Whatever she needs,
whenever she needs it.

Do you understand?

Yes, sir.

Okay, and I'll have
my secretary call up

and she'll take care of all

the paper work.

Oh.

Thank you.

You bet.

I don't wanna hear it.

This is the third
time this week you've

pushed the appointment
with the developers.

Yeah.

Do you think anybody
really cares

about perfection anymore?

Perfection?

Yes, perfection.

I don't understand how
you mean that, sir.

Come on up here.

Look out this window.

Tell me what you see.

Buildings.

Yes, those are buildings,

but what would
the city look like

if those buildings were all

just four walls propped up

with an occasional
window here and there?

What would it look like then?

I don't know.

It would look ugly.

Now granted you have
to squint your eyes

every now and again
to be able to see it,

but out there is beauty.

What's out there is art.

Art is passion.

If you don't have passion,

you should just stay out of it.

I'll set up the meetings
for early next week.

You wanted to see me?

Yeah, have a seat.

Bill, we have another problem.

Jack, I checked every
inch of those prints,

and I know they're ready.

I know it.

Oh, the prints are fine.

The prints have been approved.

You did a really good
job on the prints.

What's the problem?

The problem is the client
wants to change the layout.

The Kobayashi building?

Oh, they can't do that.

That project's almost finished.

Plus, it's gonna
cost another what?

Hundred grand for
a new set of prints?

Which just happens
to be my favorite part.

That means we have to get
started right away.

Right away?

Yeah, right away.

As in now.

Go get your Stuff.

It's almost six o'clock
and I promised my son

I'd make his game tonight.

Your son's baseball game?

Yeah, he's in the playoffs.

And what exactly

do you think this is, Bill?

Hm?

The Kobayashi account
happens to be one

of our biggest accounts.

Do I have to remind you
that I've given up

everything in my entire
life in order to be

in the position I'm in today,

and I dragged you

right along beside me?

Your son's little baseball game

is not part of the equation.

You need to prioritize.

This is way more
important than that.

What?

No.

No?

No, it's not.

You know what's
important, Jack?

Let me take a wild
s*ab at this, Bill.

What's important might
be your career.

You listen to me for a second.

I gave you an opportunity,

an opportunity that
a lot people

would've k*lled for.

Now, you have an obligation
to this company,

and you, young man, you owe me.

Okay, you're right.

I do have an obligation
to this company,

and I prove that every
day that I am here,

but I also have an obligation
to my family, Jack,

and I'm not gonna let anything

interfere with that.

Including this job.

You walk out that door, Bill,

and it is over for you.

Everything you have
ever worked for.

And what is that
everything, Jack?

Hm?

Houses on the beach,
luxury vacations,

your fancy Corvette?

I used to think like you.

Money, success,
all I ever wanted,

but you know what?

I have barely seen

my family since the promotion,

and that is...

I am prioritizing.

My family-

They are the equation, Jack.

They're everything

I really feel sorry
for you, Jack.

I really do.

Alright, bring it in.

Looks like that new
kid's not gonna show up.

Let's get this thing started.

What's up man?

I thought you said he
was gonna be here.

That's what Joey said.

Well, he'd better be
for Joey's sake.

This guy's weak.

Hey wait up, wait up.

I'm here.

Luke, get his money.

He's got it, he's got it.

Bring the money?

Give it to Joey.

Are you serious right now?

You don't trust me?

Joey holds the money.

Wow, man.

Don't lose it, papa.

Me?

Never.

Alright, listen up.

Roberto?

Alright everybody got the
course memorized?

Yeah.

Alright let's do this.

Let's get this started!

Ready?

Three, two, One, go!

What is this?

Well I was on the way
home from my b*at,

and I ran into him and his
knucklehead friends.

So let's get him on trespassing

and felony vandalism.

Okay, step over here.

A seat right here.

Go ahead and dial nine

and whatever number
you need to call.

I don't have anyone to call.

Well then, you're going
to be staying here.

Wait.

Wait, wait, wait,

I have someone I can call.

Well then go ahead and dial
nine and your number then.

How much was my bail?

Don't worry about it.

I'll pay you back.

Yeah.

Is this how you
spend your days, Caleb?

Hmm?

Not always.

Sometimes I like to,
I like to rob liquor stores.

This is serious.

Alright, it's very
very serious.

You now have a record.

Congratulations, you...

Wow.

Wow, all of a sudden you care.

It's cool how that happens,

Just like that.

What is going on with you?

The sergeant called me,

the sergeant said
that the charges

were trespassing and vandalism?

Really?

Vandalism and trespassing?

That's great.

What is going on with you?

What do you think is going on?

I have no idea or
I wouldn't be asking.

What is it?

We're getting evicted.

Look until a couple
of days ago,

you were just...

What?

I was what, another bill for
your accountant to pay?

Can I finish a sentence please?

You haven't even gone
to see her.

I...

It doesn't matter.

Just, pull over, please?

Pull over, I want to go.

Fine I'll pull over.

Thank you would have
been really nice.

Thanks a lot.

I can't believe your parents
let you party here.

Yeah well my stepdad's
playing golf,

my mom's probably passed
out on the couch.

You a beer man?

No.

So it's a bummer, huh?

About your boy
Caleb getting arrested.

Ah, well, who says he's my boy?

Man you would have
destroyed him

if the cops didn't show up.

I don't know, man.

What'd you say?

What, no, I was just saying,

I was saying that he...

You guys were both ripping.

It's cool man, it's cool.

Yo, you want me to
take care of...

No, I got him.

No, I heard what you said.

And you know what?

And you're right.

Are you serious...

He's right.

Are you kidding me right now?

I got to know who's better.

You're gonna just let
him slide like that?

Joey, come here.

You're gonna get him
to do it again.

I don't know if I can do that,

I have no idea if he
would want to...

I mean he just got picked
up but the police

And I don't know if I can,
he's the cops got... okay.

Gonna get him to do
it again, right?

Right?

Okay-

Joey I can't quite hear you.

Alright, I'll get him
to do it again.

Okay-

Fine.

We are friends, Joey, huh?

Let's keep it that way.

You make it happen, friend.

What do you think you're doing?

Going to skate.

I don't think so.

The only reason I
let you hang out here

is because my mom
married your dad.

This is not your ramp.

And we'll never be bros, huh?

You get it?

Yeah, got...

Get out of here.

Tight.

Ah, yes, can I speak
to a Mr. Samuels?

Caleb Jones.

Than ks.

Hi, yeah, Mr. Samuels
this is Caleb Jones,

I live at, listen we're
having a hard time

paying our rent
this month and...

Wait, what do you mean, who...

who?

Yeah, no that's okay.

Yeah, thanks anyway.

I don't know how
to say this, Beth.

Time, I don't know how.

It's been what,
almost twenty years?

It seems impossible.

So much has changed and yet I,

I never stopped loving you.

Ah, Caleb he's a great kid

and I think he hates
me right now.

And I don't really blame him

because I kind of hate myself

a lot of the time.

Oh, the mistakes
I've made, Beth.

I wish I...

Wish it hadn't taken
this to bring us together.

Please forgive me.

Beth I am so sorry
for not being there for you,

and not being there for Caleb.

What are you doing here?

I just came, um...

If you want me to
leave I'll leave.

Say the word.

How is she?

No change.

I'm going to get some coffee.

You want some coffee?

I'll get you a cup.

I'll have a water.

Coming right up.

Mom, I am so
sorry for everything.

Everything

I know, I know that
everything you did

was to protect me.

I know that.

I just,

I just want you to wake up.

Please.

Please wake up.

Please forgive me.

For the bible does tell us all,

as being Christians,

that to be absent
from this body,

means to be present with Him.

And we know in our hearts,

That Bethany is with Him today.

Now cherishing the memories
that are forever precious.

Sustained by a faith that
is stronger than death,

And comforted by a hope of a
life that shall endless be.

All that is mortal,

Of our beloved Bethany,

We therefore commit,

To this final resting place.

In these beautiful
surroundings.

In the assurance that if this
earthly tin of our body,

being dissolved, we have a
building from God,

Not made with hands,

but one that will return

to the dust from which it came.

Let us bow in prayer, please.

Lord Jesus we thank
You so much.

That we serve a God,

That's infinite yet here today.

And that You care so much

about what's going
on in our hearts,

in our lives.

Caleb.

Caleb!

What?

What do you want?

Where are you going?

Away from here.

What about your
mother's funeral?

I can't keep pretending
that you're my father.

Or that my mom's gonna
be home when I get there.

She's dead.

And I can't stop thinking that

If you were there to
help she wouldn't be.

Okay you listen to me a second.

A lovely woman is dead,
yes that's true,

But I loved her too.

Okay and I'm sorry,
I wasn't there...

She deserves a lot
more from you than "sorry."

Jack.

I wish you two had never met.

Hey.

Like it or not,
I'm your father.

No you're not.

A father is someone who
takes care of his family,

who is there for his
family when they need him.

All you are is some guy that got
my mom pregnant and you left.

When I was seven,

all the kids at school
had their dads come

and talk about what they do.

And I told everyone
that my dad couldn't make it

because, because he was
an astronaut.

I have never forgot
that feeling,

I just wanted to disappear.

You've got no idea
what you've lost.

I think I do.

And I have to live with that,

every day of my life
because now,

it's too late.

And you believe me, all that
hatred, all that anger

you feel inside toward me I
feel it toward myself tenfold.

Tenfold.

I know I made mistakes.

I know l said things

and I know that I can't take
those things back,

but you are a man and I am
asking you,

as a man to please dig inside
yourself and see if maybe

you just can forgive me.

Give me a sh*t,
give me a chance

One chance.

What does the Lord say about
forgiveness?

And Peter came
to him and asked,

Lord, how many times
should I forgive someone

who has sinned against me?

Seven times?

And the Lord said no,
not seven times.

But seventy times seven.

Now is the time to confess
your sins and ask forgiveness

before it's too late.

God is good.

Is he Ralf?

Is God good?

God is always good.

My mom's dead.

How good can he be?

What do you want?

I want my money back.

I ain't got your money.

Yeah?

Where's Ryder?

I don't know, he's somewhere,
he's around, I don't know.

Well tell him
I want my money back.

I don't even know why
you're stressing,

you would have lost
it anyways, so,

just chill man.

Tell Ryder, I'm gonna
get my money back.

Yo, you don't belong
out here, alright?

Go back to where
you belong, son.

That's right, punk.

Come on.

Where'd you keep this at, Mom?

Why would you do this to me?

Did I do something
to deserve this?

I want to die.

See what your plan
is for me now, God.

Caleb?

Caleb?

Are you here?

Caleb?

Caleb?

Hey!

Caleb,

No, no, no, no, Caleb, hey!

Caleb, hey, come on!

Wake up, son!

Caleb!

Doctor Sheldon,
this is Jack Sanders,

Caleb's father.

Listen, I'm afraid that Caleb
might have gotten into

some of his mother's medication

and I would like you
to take a look at him,

because I'm afraid that he
might have overdosed.

I don't know what it was,
but it was only supposed

to be one every four hours,

and he took a whole
lot more than that.

If you don't mind it's kind
of a sensitive issue.

I'd like you to come to
my house if you don't mind.

Thank you.

Just pumped his stomach,

He's doing fine, now.

Vitals are strong.

He just needs to
get some sleep.

Doc, I found your cell number

on that card in
his back pocket,

so, can we just,

keep this between you and I?

Yeah.

He's been through a lot.

I'm happy to have helped.

He has, look, I can't...

I can't thank you enough.

What...

Take good care of your son.

Well good morning, sunshine.

Or should I say
good late afternoon?

Look I got you a nice,

well, now cold,
greasy cheeseburger.

Great for a hangover.

Come on down, I'll stick
it in the microwave.

Ah.

Forty-five
minute shower.

You've obviously never paid
a water bill in your life.

Have a seat.

How you feeling?

I feel like,

like a dinosaur bit my head.

I like that.

That's a good one.

I like it, I'm using that.

Can I ask you a question?

Yeah.

Go ahead, sh**t

Why didn't you want me?

I was young,

I was stupid.

And I'm very sorry.

Where's the burger?

I ate it.

You serious?

No, it's in the microwave.

Heated it up three times,

it's probably hard as a rock.

I'll eat anything right now.

What's that supposed to mean?

Think that's really gonna help?

I didn't know anybody knew
about this spot.

They don't man.

I'm Brian.

Caleb.

So you want to skate or what?

No, man, I kind of
just wanted to be...

To be alone?

I know how that goes,

I know how you feel.

Oh you think so?

Yeah.

Been to plenty of spots just
like this back home.

I go skate there all the time.

All by myself, all alone.

Where's home?

Liverpool, back in England.

You know when I was
going through some stuff,

the challenges of life,
the things that

I tried to drink away or party
away or smoke away perhaps,

but that never really helped.

Well then what helps?

Take it easy, man.

Good talking to you Caleb.

Yo.

Thought you wanted to skate?

Thought you wanted to be alone?

Grab your board, let's go,
let's go skate.

Your father will not
forgive your sins.

Dear Caleb,

If you are reading this,

my prayers have been answered.

I know growing up
without a father

has been very hard for you

and I know I haven't
always been the best mother.

But I've always tried to do
what I thought was best for you.

I love you so much,

that I thought if I
made you believe

that your father and
I were a one time encounter

that you would hurt less.

I know now that I was
wrong for that,

and I'm very sorry.

The truth is, that
I loved your father,

and I still do,

and you were created
from that love.

So I hope you can find it

in your heart
some day to forgive me.

I love you.

Mom.

Caleb?

Hey Ralf.

Why do you do this?

Do what?

This, why do you,

why do you live like this?

It enables me to spread
the word of God.

What about your family?

It was Easter Sunday.

Me and my wife and
my daughter were going

on a three day trip to visit
my mother in law for Easter.

Do you like my dress, daddy?

It's beautiful, sweetheart.

Are we ready to
go to grandma's?

Yeah!

It's my secretary,

she wouldn't page me unless
it was really important.

Honey, you promised no
work till we get back.

My secretary called and

I forgot to sign off on a case

that had to be postmarked
the next day.

I had to go to the office.

So I sent my wife and my
daughter to go ahead.

They never made it.

Drunk driver crossed the line.

Hit 'em head on.

I should have been driving.

My daughter would be
twenty-two today.

After that I just gave up.

I couldn't accept the fact

that I'd never see them again.

Never hold my wife or
hear my daughter say

Daddy, I love you.

Sol crawled into
a bottle and took

whatever pills I could
get my hands on,

What happened to the driver?

He got three years
for manslaughter.

I hated that man more than
anything else in the world.

I wished every day
that the same thing

would happen to his family.

Till one day,

I realized that all that hate

was never going to
bring 'em back.

And it was slowly k*lling me.

So what'd you do?

I forgave him.

It's time for you to
forgive yourself.

Sup?

I'm really sorry
about your mom.

Than ks.

What're you gonna do
about Ryder?

What am I supposed to do?

You got to do something, man.

Why?

What's the point of it?

Well he keeps...

Saying...

What?

What happened to your lip?

Did Ryder do that?

Man this has got to stop.

Tell Ryder I'm in.

But we do it my way.

The skate park.

Sorry.

Big day, Jack.

You alright?

Huh?

What, uh, yeah.

Yes, I'm fine.

'Cause if you're concerned
about the meeting today

with the inspector, it's not...

No, not concerned,
not concerned at all.

In fact I think your plan
is just great.

Great.

You know,

a very wise man once told me,

in fact he was standing right
about where you are now,

that his family
was more important

than his job.

And I could never seem to wrap

my mind around
that until today.

So I would like to thank you.

For accepting my apology,

and for coming
back to the firm.

You're welcome, Jack.

I got to go.

What the...

what about the meeting?

I've got something far more
important than that meeting.

You have a good day, Bill.

Enjoy it, partner.

Okay-

Hey, Ryder!

Hosoi.

Sup buddy
huh? '

No, no, no, no.

What's the problem?

You think the only reason I
sponsor you is because

you're some great skateboarder?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Man if you search deep
down in your heart, Ryder,

you'll discover why l sponsored
you in the first place.

Man, these kids.

Yep, what's it going
to benefit them

if they gain the whole world?

They forfeit their own souls.

Yo, Joey.

Hey, JOEY-

Where's your boy?

He'll be here.

Yeah, I hope he
doesn't chicken out.

Yo, made it.

Hey where you been?

Had to fix my board.

Is your boy ready?

Yeah man, I'm ready.

You sure?

Yeah.

It's trick for trick.

If someone misses a trick,

the other skater gets
to choose the next trick.

Clear?

YEP -

Okay-

Alright,

flip a coin,

see who goes first.

Who calls?

I'll call it.

Heads.

Yeah.

Heads.

Ryder goes first.

I get first trick.

Let's see if you can keep up.

Let's see.

Yeah.

Come on, man.

What's going on, man?

Dude, I cracked my trucks.

It's over.

What?

Is that it?

Huh, you giving up?

Oh man, you're such a baby.

Don't listen to him, man,

You got to try.

Caleb.

And you know what?

Chill.

Maybe it's time you tried this.

So what are you gonna do?

Hardflip backlip.

You serious?

Do you really think
now's the time

to be doing something
you've never done before?

Now's the perfect time.

Alright.

k*ll it.
