(projector clattering)
(dramatic music)
(engine puttering)
- [Everett] Don't chicken
out this time, Ozzy.
Look, next car that comes
around, you gonna chase him down.
Done it like a hundred,
no, a million times before.
It's fun, trust me.
- [Dru] Right here, right here. This guy.
(lively defiant music)
- He's coming, he's coming.
Hold, hold, hold. Hold, hold. Go, go!
(engines roaring)
- Oh, ho, ho.
(friends cheering)
(lively defiant music continues)
(engine roaring)
- Come on, faster, Ozzy!
- Ozzy, you're losing him, go.
- Let's go, let's go!
(lively music continues)
(friends yelling)
Go, go!
- Speed up, come on.
Come on, come on! (laughs)
- We're overheating.
- What's happening?
(engine sizzling)
Oh, that's not good.
- No.
- We gonna make it back?
- Yeah, she's gotta cool down.
Man, I just wanna drive Sandy
without her overheating.
You-
- [Dru] Ow!
- [Ozzy] Oh.
- What are you doing
putting your hands in the engine bay, man?
- Dude, shut up.
- Oh, my God.
You all right? Oh.
Does that hurt?
- [Dru] It's fine.
(lively music)
(engine roaring)
- Hey, uh, guys. Guys,
the truck's coming back.
- Oh, sh**t. Dude, let's get outta here.
- Hey, come get us.
(tires squealing)
(defiant music continues)
On the quiet, k*lling time
I've got to get in, get in there
He's got a lot of love
When he's had enough
Which way they can go
And if you rise above
On the quiet, k*lling time
On the quiet, k*lling time
I've got to get in, get in there
He's got a lot of love
When he's had enough
What way they can go
And you can rise above
- So what are we gonna
do for senior prank?
Think we gotta do something big, right?
- Big how?
- Like something that
leaves a legacy, you know,
something no one's ever done before.
Sorta what I'm thinking.
- What if we put crickets
around the school?
They last like three years.
- Dude, what?
Like, this is the lamest
thing I've ever heard.
- [Everett] Dude, that was so stupid.
- I thought it was a good idea.
- It's okay, buddy.
Come on, honey.
- Can we get a tiger?
- How are you gonna get a tiger?
- What, like, in the
school or what, or like...
- What is this?
- No, his-
- My uncle owns a tiger.
- Oh, your uncle.
- His uncle.
- Yeah.
- A likely story, buddy.
sh**t, Everett.
- [Everett] Hm?
- You remember the prank
we did at summer camp?
- That one?
- Yeah.
- Oh, God. The one where
you waxed my balls? (laughs)
Yeah.
- Where was I?
- Some theater camp or something.
- For the babes.
- [Everett] For sure.
- Right.
- Yeah, I didn't get get
to see genitals and...
- You didn't get to see my
balls. That's kind of your loss.
- Why were you waxing?
- Look, all I remember was his, like,
(both laughing)
his bloody genitals flying around.
There was blood and hair
everywhere. It was so bad.
- That's it.
- [Everett] What?
- [Ozzy] What?
- The senior prank?
- What, we, we wax Mr. Wayman?
- No, no.
- [Everett] It could work.
- The pool. We dye it red with Kool-Aid.
- [Everett] That's
actually not a bad idea.
- Yeah?
- [Ozzy] That's actually not bad.
- I mean, it's no tiger, but...
- Dude, shut up about the tiger, I swear.
- [Dru] My uncle has one.
- You over done that. Anyways.
- [Dru] Yes, he does.
- Hey, lemme see that coal.
- You can have one, okay?
The rest I'm gonna sell.
- [Dru] Sell?
- Yes.
- [Dru] Who's gonna buy that?
- 1, 2, 3, 4.
- Damn. That's a long way down.
- Say 40 feet at least.
- No, no, no, no. That's at least 60.
- No, dude.
- [Everett] Easily.
- Nope.
- Yes.
- You over exaggerate everything.
- No, I don't.
- Yeah, you do.
- What? Like what? Name one thing.
- Sports, girls, everything.
See, I gave you two plus.
- Actually, speaking of girls,
dude, did I tell you about this one girl
I'm gonna go see tonight?
- Jessica?
- Oh, my gosh, her ass is just-
- Jessica has a nice ass.
- Nope.
Jessica was, like, three girls ago.
Something like that. Old news.
This girl is just, she's special.
- What time are you meeting up?
You don't have a watch, buddy?
- Yeah, but I can tell
(music drowns out speaker).
(upbeat music)
- [Dru] Come on, Ozzy. (music
drowns out speaker) all night.
(upbeat music continues)
Let's go, Oz.
It's a long way down.
- Ozzy.
- Hey, don't stand up there, dude.
Oh, together again
Oh, together
- No, hey. Hey!
Ozzy. Let's go, Ozzy.
(upbeat music continues)
- [Donnie] 'Sup, big guy?
- [Ozzy] How's it going?
(Ozzy grunts)
- [Donnie] Hey.
- [Dash] Dude, what the hell?
- Whoa. Easy with the
HE double hockey sticks.
- Language.
- [Donnie] Oh, got it.
- How's it going?
- Oh, man, this whole thing is
rusting all the way through at the bottom.
Every bolt and screw.
Hey, how's Sandy? Huh?
She's still running, huh?
- Yeah, she's overheating.
- Well, she is a 60-year-old car.
It's 40 years worth of neglect.
You gotta go easy on her.
Once we get that new radiator in there,
she's gonna sing for you.
- [Ozzy] I hope so.
- Hell yeah.
And speaking of singing, uh,
I've decided to DJ the prom.
- What?
- [Donnie] DJ for a night.
- Oh, that's rough.
- Your sister's going.
She's not embarrassed.
Come on, you gotta go.
You have to. What else are you gonna do?
- Me and the boys were
thinking we were just gonna
drive around town, hang out.
- Well, you're not gonna
drive around in Sandy.
No, no, no, no.
I think you're gonna
have to go to the dance
with your sister.
Oh, and speaking of your
sister, she won't have a date
for the prom because, um...
- Darrell broke up with her?
- Yeah, so you need to go easy on her.
- Are you serious? Oh, my
God, this is great news.
(lighthearted music)
- Oh, and did you go to the
post office today for me
and send off the blue weevil package?
- Blue weevil was mailed out yesterday.
- No, that was the stag beetle frame.
- Really don't know the
difference between the beetles,
but I do know that I sent
a package out yesterday.
- Thank you.
- What's the matter, Summer?
- Ozzy, we all know Summer's
had a very difficult day.
Let's not make it worse, huh?
- Look, I'm sorry about
Darrell. He was ugly as hell.
- Can you just let me feel.
- I mean, he failed 12th grade twice.
- Ozzy.
Who are you taking to prom with you, Ozzy?
- I'm not going to prom.
- Why not?
- [Ozzy] It's stupid.
- It's actually not stupid.
- It actually is stupid. It's
not even a dance anymore.
It's a grind fest.
- It's a what?
- [Donnie] What's a grind fest?
- Ask her.
- Dad.
- Donnie.
- What?
- [Margaret] Do something.
- I'm, I'm, I'm trying.
I'm trying to figure out what's going on.
- Well, he's calling her-
- What am I calling Summer?
- What are you calling Summer?
- A ho?
- [Margaret] That is not funny.
- He, that, I mean,
it's, it's like how they,
it's slang, you know?
It's like a term of
endearment with these kids.
Like, pass a meatball,
ho. That kinda thing.
- Or like can I be excused, ho?
- What is happening?
- Well, now that's,
that's not okay for your
mom to be called that,
whether it's joking or not,
because we don't do that.
- You know what? It's not a joke.
Calling someone a ho
is never a joke, okay?
I thought you were supposed
to be the man of the house.
- Well, I mean, I gue-
I guess, if that's how
we're looking at this.
- I got an idea. Why
don't you set an example.
- I thought I was being an example.
Are you, are you playing the victim again?
Is that, is that where
we're going with this one?
I know, yeah. I'll be back.
(chair squeaks)
(cutlery clanking)
(chair squeaks)
- Hey, ho, pass me the plate.
- Did you take my shirt? Is
that a little stain on it?
- No.
- Just go wash it. Dirty ho.
- You dirty ho.
- Don't say that.
(upbeat music)
Holy shit. Where'd you come from?
Dude, what are you doing here?
- My life is over. I got scammed.
- What are you talking about?
- Do you remember that
girl I told you about
I was gonna go see yesterday?
- No.
- The one I was gonna go see
last night with the, the ass.
Great ass.
- Got you. Yes.
- Basically, he ends up
telling me he has my photos.
- Wait, he?
- He says that he has my photos
and he's gonna send
'em to the whole school
if I don't give him a hundred bucks.
Everyone I know.
- Oh, my God, you're so stupid.
- Hey, thanks for that. I appreciate that.
That's what I needed to hear right now.
Shit, I don't know what to do.
- Dude, I don't know. You
screwed yourself, man.
- Yeah. Don't have a hundred bucks.
- That's why you're here.
Yeah, whatever. I can, I
can get the money. Yeah.
- Would you really?
- [Ozzy] Yes.
- Like, a-actually?
- I'll bring the money to first period.
I gotta go beg my dad.
You gotta gimme interest though. Okay?
- Yeah. Thank you. Thank
you. You're literally...
- [Ozzy] I'm don't believe you, man.
- A lifesaver.
- You're weird. Get outta here.
- Thank you. All right, first period.
- [Ozzy] First period.
- [Everett] I'll see you there.
- [Donnie] Oh.
- [Everett] Hey, Dad.
- What is it? Did he
sleep here last night?
- No.
(lively music)
- Oh, hey.
(tape rattles)
- Oh, what's that?
- It's my band tape.
(lively music)
When you're a sl*ve to
- Summer was our best season.
It was sleeping on the back porch in cots.
It was trying to sleep in the tree house.
It was everything good to eat.
Summer was a thousand colors
in a parched landscape.
- Thank you, Ozzy. That's excellent.
And what is that a metaphor for?
- I don't really know.
(Mrs. O'Leary knocking)
- Yes, yes.
Good afternoon, Mrs. O'Leary.
- [Students] Good afternoon, Mrs. O'Leary
- [Mrs O'Leary] Mr. Wayman,
we have a new student.
This is Mia.
- Thank you, Mrs. O'Leary.
Mia, take any, any open seat you like.
Welcome, welcome. (music
drowns out speaker)
I'm sure they'll you we have a lot of fun.
All right, (music drowns out speaker).
So, uh, Ozzy. Ozzy. Ozzy. Ozzy.
How do you feel during the summer?
- Um, probably itchy.
(students laugh)
- Now, actually, you know what? Hold on.
That's a very good word. Itchy.
Because if someone says the word itchy,
don't we all know exactly what it means?
It's like one of those words
that, that is how it feels.
Okay, itchy's good. Gimme something else.
- Warmth.
- All right. Those are
both great. Itchy, warmth.
Now put 'em together. You
feel itchy and warm because...
- Mm, well, I'm itchy because
I'm allergic to grass.
And, um, I spent a lot of time, like,
in the hill behind my house
in the summer growing up
and it was always hot, so warmth.
- Okay, good.
Another big metaphor is the
actual title of the book,
because in the book, both
Tom Robinson, Boo Radley,
what are they presented as?
They're presented as
innocent but misunderstood.
Kind of like a...
- Mockingbird.
- Everett, this is not the football field.
This is my classroom.
I point to you and then you shout. A what?
Koah, tell me.
- Mockingbird.
- Exactly right. You're both right.
Now tell me, what does a mockingbird do?
- Whistle.
- Exactly. It whistles.
A mockingbird spends its entire
day making beautiful music
and harming no one.
So "To k*ll A Mockingbird" is a tragedy.
- Oh.
- Oh, we got it. Good.
Everett. No, that's good.
Now that's important.
That realization, I love that,
that Everett had just now,
that's exactly like the realization
that Scout has in the story
when she says that pulling
Arthur into the spotlight
is quote, "kinda like sh**ting
a mockingbird," end quote.
Right?
(bell rings)
Oh, we're getting to the
good part. Okay, hold on.
I, uh, I graded the papers
you brought in on Friday.
I have 'em over here. Dru, nice.
Wow. How about that, Mr.
Everett? Somebody paid attention.
Keep it up. Uh, that's you, Ozzy.
And then he's absent.
- What?
- [Mr. Wayman] Yes?
- A C minus?
- Yeah. You see the note I left you?
- Yeah. Did you get that
from a magic eight ball?
- Wouldn't that be so interesting
if you could be that funny in the paper.
Look, you, you're, you're a nice kid,
but you, you gotta dig a little deeper.
You gotta try a little
harder. You, you really do.
It's your story.
I, I want, I wanna see,
I wanna see your feelings in the words.
Hold on. Hey, you two. Knock it off.
Look at me. Hey.
I wanna see your heart on the page.
You're a bright kid. Okay?
You got a lot going on.
I, I, I, I can see that.
There's wheels turning up there.
I just wanna know, I think, me personally,
you could be better.
Okay, you two. You two, just
be, just be quiet. Okay?
All right. Bottom line,
dig deeper, try harder.
Okay?
- Can I rewrite it?
- Yes. Fine. You have till Friday.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Okay. Go t*rture your
parents instead of me.
Please go home.
Eight more years, I can write
the great American novel.
I'm outta here.
- [Ozzy] I forgot my bag. Sorry.
(upbeat music)
Whisper your love
Blow a kiss to the wind
It's a hard love
Bigger than sin when
you give in to rhythm
You move me, move me like ecstasy
From a whisper to a scream
Spirit of dance, take my hand
Exchange this pain for a new life
Spirit of dance, take my hand
Exchange this pain for a new life
(upbeat music continues)
Spirit of dance, take my hand
Exchange this pain for a new life
(friends chattering)
- [Donnie] Hey, son.
- [Ozzy] Hey, Dad.
- Hey, other sons.
How was your day at the
old brick building, huh?
- Mr. Wayman gave me a C.
- [Everett] I got an A.
- Congratulations, Everett.
Well, w-w-w-what happened?
- He said I need to
dig deeper, try harder.
I don't know what that means.
- Well, you know, back when I
was writing songs for my band,
I was always told that you,
you always wanna write from
the deepest part of your being.
That place where the sun don't shine,
you hide all those things
you're embarrassed about.
That's, that's when it's raw.
That's when it's most authentic.
You're not listening to a word I'm saying.
(Ozzy laughs)
Uh, your sister wants to go
to the roller rink tonight
'cause your mom is having
Bible study with the ladies.
So we're gonna vamanos the casa.
- She wants to go to
Skateland on her day off.
- Yeah. She wants to hang out at work.
(upbeat music)
(people chattering)
(upbeat music continues)
(roller wheels tapping)
You two are an absolute danger.
An absolute danger out there.
Dash, you ready for some ice cream?
- [Dash] Yes. Chocolate.
- Oh, okay. That's fine.
You want someone? I'm buying.
- Ice cream? I'm in.
- All right, here. You're buying.
Gonna go out and hang with
the dads in the parking lot.
- Mm. Cancer (indistinct).
- I don't smoke. Remember?
At least tell your mom that.
- Oh, Michael. What's up, man?
- It's Antonio, actually.
I changed it to get more in
touch with my Italian roots.
- Yeah. Gotcha. You, guess
you got ice cream, right?
- [Annie] Yeah. We got lots.
- We got chocolate, vanilla, banana.
Strawberry, lemon, Oreo,
pistachio, mint chocolate chip.
- [Ozzy] Could I just do like-
- Chocolate chip cookie dough,
hazelnut, butterscotch.
I think we're out of
butterscotch actually.
Um, chunky monkey, double
chocolate, triple chocolate,
strawberry banana, banana
strawberry, two different flavors.
- [Annie] Yeah, we, we
got a lot of options.
- Mm, okay. Probably just,
can I get, like, a chocolate?
- [Annie] Yeah, sure.
- Three of us.
- Three? Gotcha. That'll be 6.25.
That's fine. That's fine. That's fine.
- I got ice cream.
- I see you like him.
- What?
- You guys are, like,
looking at each other a lot.
It's all about the eye contact.
You know, you want him to want
you and stare into his soul.
Make your souls
interlinked. And then blink.
- Blink?
- Yeah, like, flutter
your eyes. Men love it.
I read it in a magazine one time.
- Actually?
- Yeah.
It, it works. Trust me.
- Okay.
- Yeah. Not too much though.
Can you hang up the phone? We're at work.
- So how'd you get so good at theater?
Are you a professional
or something or what?
- You're actually just saying that.
- No, I'm serious. I mean,
when I'm watching the plays...
- [Mia] Hey, Summer.
- Hi, girly. How you doing?
- Hi.
- Hi. Thank you.
(Mia laughing)
I'm so sorry.
- You're, you're good. I
can make you a new one.
- No. Yeah. What?
- [Mia] I can make you a new one.
- Maybe just, I, I can...
- No, I can make you-
- [Ozzy] No, I, I can...
- [Mia] Are you sure?
- Yeah. No, it's good.
- I can make you a new one.
- No, it's good.
- [Mia] All right.
- Thank you.
- [Mia] Yeah, you're welcome.
- I like your hair.
(Mia laughs)
- No, thanks. It's all you, bud. Okay.
- Dru, what are you doing?
- How do you know her?
- [Summer] She just started
working here, like, yesterday.
(upbeat music)
(water running)
(shower curtain hooks scraping)
(buzzing)
(ominous music)
(voice whispering)
- [Everett] Go, Ozzy.
- [Dru] Ozzy.
- [Everett] Hey, don't
stand up there, dude.
- [Ozzy] You have to know yourself.
You're a freak,
(indistinct) you can choke.
- No, hey. Hey!
(ominous music)
(shower curtain hooks clanking)
(Donnie knocking)
- Oz.
Oz, I'm opening the door, okay.
Hey. Hey, hey, hey. You
all right? Hun, hun.
- [Margaret] Hey, hey,
hey. What's going on?
- I don't know.
- What's going on?
- He, he fell or something.
Dash, get some ice, please.
- Okay. Don't yell at him.
- Just, I'm not, I'm not yelling.
I'm just trying to direct
him to get some ice.
- Okay. What's happening?
- You okay? You scared
the heck outta me, kid.
I ought to get you one of
those slip mats for the tub,
like we had to get for grandma.
(bell rings)
(locker door rattles)
- Back with douche bag Darrell.
- That was fast.
(locker slams)
- Don't remind me.
- Is he gay?
- Dude, he's gay than a bag of dicks.
- What?
- Yeah.
He took your sister to
the Ariana Grande concert
last summer.
- Oh, yeah.
- I mean, I went to a Lady Gaga a concert
'cause, you know, she's
hot, but I'm not gay.
- Lady Gaga, not gay.
- What about Billie Eilish?
- No.
- Taylor Swift?
- Depends.
Are they singing all the lyrics?
- Katy Perry?
- No. Not gay.
I mean, gay people go.
- Queen?
(students chattering)
- What happened to your wrist?
- Hey, what are you jerking off too much?
- Yeah. Ask your dad.
- Such a weirdo.
- I fell in the shower.
- Oh, yeah. That's lame as hell.
- Yeah. Dude, at least lie
and say something cool.
- Yo, guys.
Come on.
- [Dru And Everett] Ozzy,
Ozzy, Ozzy. (laughing)
- How many pieces of gum
does he have in his mouth?
- Ozzy, you wanna answer that?
- 29.
(Everett laughs)
- That's easy, 30. Come on,
you got 30 in you. Let's go.
Come on, Ozzy.
- Okay, class.
Look, here's what I want you to do.
Just turn to page 97 in
your book and go over it
and I'll do an assignment
when I get back to class.
Mr. Taylor, could I just,
may I just have a moment
with you privately.
- Mm-hm.
(gum smacks)
(students gasp)
What's this about?
- It's, it's about your, your paper.
Ozzy, it's excellent. I
mean, it's so well written.
You really took to the prompt.
But I have to be honest
with you, this, this, uh,
this paper scared me, and
it scared me to the point
that I think maybe I need
to call your parents,
have them read it or, or
a counselor at school.
- No, I'm okay. I mean, this is a story.
I was instructed to write a story.
- Yeah, I told you, I mean,
but you're saying that this,
what's here is not
something you're feeling.
You don't have any of
these, these thoughts,
and you would tell me the truth, right?
- Yeah. No, of course. I
mean, Mr. Wayman, I'm okay.
I, I really don't wanna
make this a big deal.
- So that's actually easier said than done
because I actually did read it, so...
How about, how about this? How about this?
I call your father
personally. I just ask him.
Just him to read it.
- Yeah. That's, he won't read it.
- Why not?
- He, uh, my dad's a creative person.
He thinks it would stunt
my creative vision if,
you know, he were to read my work.
I don't know. He had it
with his dad growing up too.
- Okay, here's, here, well,
here's what we're gonna do.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna give
you my personal number, okay?
My personal number.
If you feel any of the things
that you wrote in there,
you have to call me.
You have to call me.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Am I getting an A?
- Yeah, you're getting an A.
(camera shutter clicks)
- Okay, one more.
Hey, Summy, get in there. Come on.
What? Just let her be, okay?
- She's dying her hair black.
- I know.
- She's wearing all black.
She's turning into...
- [Margaret] She's expressing...
- Summer, thought you going
to the dance with Darrell.
(indistinct)
- [Margaret] I know, I know.
She's just expressing herself, you know?
- [Dash] When are they
gonna take the picture?
- I don't know. Just keep smiling.
- All right. Ready? 3, 2, 1.
Prom! Woo-hoo!
(camera shutter clicks)
(upbeat music)
I'm in a wrestling
match with myself again
Wonder who's gonna win
Sumo on the one side,
Pluto on the drum line
Maybe they'll be friends
Who knows what they say
Who knows when the feelings change
Miranda's on the porch swing,
Kyle's got a diamond ring
Made it out of mouse hair
The older kids doing dr*gs,
gettin' out and gettin' f*cked
Wonder how it really feels
Who knows what they say
Who knows when the feelings change
I'm running low on dopamine
I'm diving on the slope
Flying at blazing speeds
Passing all the maple trees
Glass in the honey bees frozen in time
What are you so mad about?
Why do you scream and shout
Who didn't you love when
You need it the most now,
you're a tortured mut growl
(friends laughing)
- What you still doing here?
- Darrell stood me up.
- All right, let's go, ho.
- Where we going?
- Prom, b*tch.
(footsteps thudding)
- I made it. What you guys doing?
- Dance is so boring this year.
- What?
- Yeah. No one's, like,
grinding or anything.
It's so lame.
- No.
Oh, God. Oh.
- [Annie] Yeah. It's awful.
- [Antonio] Gross
- Yeah.
(upbeat music)
Seen the shadows dancing
In the amber glow
Just outside of nowhere
It's where the pretty kids go
(upbeat music continues)
It's where the pretty kids go
Bad intentions
Broken by design, no exceptions
We're just wasting time
If you don't drink the Kool-Aid
Then you'll really never
know what poison tastes like
It's where the pretty kids go
(upbeat music continues)
Go
- All ladies and gentlemen,
it's time to slow things down.
This one, I'm dedicating
to Ozzy. It's an original.
The sky, she cries
Oh, I don't know why
That's a strange goodbye,
you face the fire
They'll take your heat
Even when you're cold
The road you're on
is a dead end street
You can run with me
You can run with me
You can run with me
We may never fly
We can try
I, I call you there
(footsteps tapping)
(music continues in backgrounds)
- Hey.
- Hey.
I like your dress, Mia.
- Thank you.
You look like a teacher.
- Thanks.
- Did your parents force you to come?
- Not technically.
- Not technically?
- My, uh, my sister,
her date stood her up,
so I brought her.
But she's dancing with my best friend now.
- That's really sweet.
- No, I don't think so.
I kinda wanna throw up.
- No, that you, that you
bought your sister here.
That's sweet.
- Yeah, I guess that
is pretty sweet of me.
(Mia laughing)
What are you doing with
your eyes? Are you alright?
- Yeah, there's, there's something in it.
- Oh.
So, uh, are you liking Virginia?
- You don't have to ask that.
People always get worried
about awkward silences,
but it, it's only awkward
if you make it awkward.
- Okay.
- Well, what do you like?
- I like eating.
I like, I like working on
my car. Um, I like music.
- A musician. I could see it.
- You could see it? I'll
probably just be a farmer.
- What?
- That's what every guy ends up doing.
I mean, especially where I live.
- Do you not live in the suburbs?
- Well, you know, uh, Mount Dora Drive,
down that windy road off Victoria Lane.
- I actually do know where that is.
That's in the middle of nowhere.
- [Ozzy] It is.
- Is your dad a farmer?
- No, he was, uh, he was in a band
back in the day.
I don't know.
We moved here for inspiration
for my mom's business.
- What does your mom do?
- She collects bugs.
- That's fun.
- [Ozzy] I guess.
- Well, I have to get going,
but see you around, Ozzy.
- See you around, Mia. Goodbye.
- Thanks for DJing.
- Oh, yeah. It was a pleasure.
I had a great time.
- They were actually dancing this year.
- Yeah. Thanks to this
guy. You're crushing.
- Hey, can you guys help
me with this banner?
- Yeah, sure.
- I would, I would, I
would give the credit
for the dance floor to my son.
He's always the life of the party.
- Who's, who's your son?
- Ozzy.
- Oh, you're Mr. Taylor?
I'm, I'm Doug Wayman.
It's so nice to meet you.
Your son is very talented,
creative young boy.
I'm his English teacher.
- Oh, oh, oh.
You're the gentleman who
gave him a C on his paper.
- Well, I mean, I let him,
he, he ended up with an, an A,
but I mean, that's, that's not...
Did you read his paper?
I, I, honest to God, I was
thinking that I had to call you.
He went very dark when
he rewrote the paper.
I mean, have you ever
found him to be suicidal?
- Whoa.
He's the happiest kid that I know.
Are we talking about the
same Ozzy? Ozzy Taylor?
- Yeah. Hey, I'll be right
there. Yeah, I'm sorry.
You know what? I maybe
misspoke. I apologize.
If you ever need to talk to me though,
you just find me at the school. Okay?
- Yeah.
- Wayman.
- [Donnie] Yeah, sure.
- Hey, Dad.
- Hey, other son and real daughter.
- What you doing here?
- I'm, I'm looking for
Ozzy. You know where he is?
- Um, I saw him at the
punch bowl last, right?
- Yeah. I think he's just
drinking all the punch.
He's fine, Dad. He's fine.
- What do you two doing?
- Oh, we're going to a
party, my friend's house.
- Together?
- It's just a stupid
get together. It's fine.
- Two of you. Hmm.
- It's fine, Dad.
- Well, uh, okay. Just, just
be safe and be in touch. Right?
And, uh, and if you do
see Ozzy on the way out,
tell him that I'm looking for him, please.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- [Summer] See ya.
- [Donnie] See ya.
(upbeat music)
(ominous music)
- [Ozzy] You should jump in.
You should just let your
body sink to the floor.
(screeching)
Should, should, should, should jump,
should, should jump in, jump in.
- [Donnie] Oz. Hey, bud.
(ominous music continues)
- [Ozzy] What if you slipped
and drowned yourself?
What about my family?
(ominous music continues)
- [Donnie] Ozzy.
- [Ozzy] Don't know what am
I saying. I need to get away.
What if you were to jump in?
(water splashing)
(alarming music)
(water bubbling)
- Ozzy.
(ominous music)
Marco.
Ozzy. Ozzy!
(ominous music continues)
Come on.
(grunts)
I got you. I got you. I got you.
(Donnie panting)
Come on.
(grunting)
Somebody help! Someone help!
God! God, someone help! Please!
(indistinct)
(ringing)
(ventilator pumping)
- We've gotten Ozzy stabilized,
uh, and he's intubated.
Will have to be watched
throughout the night.
- Thank you.
- It's really a miracle that he's here
and that you found him when you did.
You know, not much is gonna
happen the next few days.
So I would recommend going home
and getting some rest if you're able.
- No, I'll stay here
all night if I have to.
Can I sleep here?
Okay.
- Your call.
- I mean, yeah, what would you do?
- Probably the same thing.
- Yeah.
- Excuse me.
- Love you so much, Oz.
(sniffles)
I'm so sorry this happened to you. (cries)
It's all my fault.
- Hey, don't say that.
- If we didn't go to-
- Shh, how could you have possibly known
that he would do this?
- If we at least invited him.
I know this wouldn't have
happened if we just invited him.
- You two went to a party, like, together?
- [Summer] Just sounded like a fun date.
- I mean, it was a little
bit more than a date.
- God. No. No.
Ozzy's gonna flip his shit.
- Can you just wait to tell him? Just...
I already know. I just, let me do it.
- Why, is this gonna be a
secret thing from now on?
- I just want it to be me that tells him.
- Fine. Whatever.
- Hey, honey, why don't
you go give Oz a hug
before we leave, okay?
- A hug?
- Yeah. Just let him know
that you love him, okay?
- He's not awake though.
- I know.
I can't think of any
other reason why my son
would be at the bottom of a
pool unless he did it himself.
I mean, what are-
- We can't jump to conclusion.
We don't know anything about it yet.
Trust me. I know my son.
- I know him too. All right?
What are you saying, Donnie?
That I don't know him?
I think I know him just a
little bit better than you.
- That's not what I meant, Margaret.
I'm just saying that he's not depressed
and there has to be another
explanation for this.
- Ozzy tried to k*ll himself.
- Hey, shh. Could you-
Dash, come here, buddy.
- Is Ozzy okay?
- E-Everything is cool. I promise you.
Your mom's just freaking out. All right?
- Freaking out?
No, I think I'm behaving
perfectly rationally.
Unlike your dad.
- Everything is fine. That's
all I want you to know.
It was a one time thing.
Nothing like this is
ever gonna happen again.
So we're not gonna do anything yet.
- Like you would anyways.
- What is that supposed to mean?
- You are so concerned
with being his friend,
you don't discipline him.
- Dash, you wanna go inside?
Please, buddy, go inside.
All you do is sit in that
room and work on your boxes.
Meanwhile, Ozzy,
he's doing most of the
cooking and cleaning.
He picks up for Summer
where you leave off.
He's more of a mother to her than you are.
- I am running a business, Donnie.
What are you doing is the big question.
- You k*ll bugs for a living.
- Well, I have good
news and, and bad news.
The good news is Ozzy is awake
and was able to speak with our
onsite therapist, Dr. Kurtz.
- The bad news?
- It wasn't just an accident
that he had at the pool.
- W-W-What does that mean?
- Ozzy tried to commit su1c1de.
- What?
- I believe your son is
suffering from suicidal OCD
and major depressive disorder.
Suicidal OCD is a form of OCD
that has unwanted thoughts,
images, and impulses
related to k*lling oneself.
- OCD? Like, you, you should
look at his room and reassess.
- This form of OCD as opposed to using
physical rituals like cleanliness,
uses mental rituals to
manage stress and anxiety.
- So OCD made him do this?
- It's not uncommon to
have intrusive thoughts.
When somebody with suicidal
OCD has those thoughts,
they're almost impossible to get rid of.
- So he doesn't really want
to die. He just is what?
- Most people that suffer from this
don't actually want to die.
They just don't know how
to process the thoughts.
Since he's attempted su1c1de,
he may also have major
depressive disorder.
- So what do we do now?
- Well, we could start him on medication
that would slow down
the compulsive thoughts.
- [Dr. Kurtz] But we
could be completely wrong
with this diagnosis.
- [Ozzy] What's with all the cars?
- Well, your mom invited
some of the ladies from
her Bible study over.
So there's that. And you
got a couple friends here.
It's, it's fine. It's
gonna be okay. All right?
Just come on. It's gonna be fine.
- Two days. Something over
there for him. Okay. Yeah.
And I had something
last night. So whatever.
Hey. Hi, sweetie. Hi, doll. How are you?
- Hey, sweetie. I'm sorry
about what happened to you.
And, you know, my
daughter's in high school
and her best friend has depression.
- Mm. Yeah. Well, at least
they know what to do with her.
- There's absolutely
nothing to be ashamed of.
We're here for you, sweetie.
And God loves you too.
- I'm not sad. I'm not depressed.
I tried to k*ll myself.
(dejected music)
You just don't understand.
- [Margaret] No, I don't. I'm sorry.
(dejected music continues)
- f*cking birthday cake.
- I'll be back.
- [Margaret] All right.
I'm sorry, you guys.
- [Friend] I don't get it. So he's not-
- [Margaret] Well, thanks
for coming. I'm sorry.
(friends chattering)
(footsteps crunching)
(calm music)
(Ozzy sniffles)
- It's gonna be okay.
Hey, look at that. You see that up there?
All those birds flying together.
You know what that's called, hm?
It's called a murmuration.
Starlings do that.
And they do it because
they're all safer together as a group.
You know, family.
So they can protect each other.
So they need one another, you
know? They need one another.
- I'm going to hell.
- For what, cursing?
No. No, of course not.
- What I'm talking about.
- [Donnie] You're not going to hell.
- If I k*ll myself.
- No. No, you're not going to hell.
- I don't wanna die.
- That's not gonna happen.
I don't care if you try 7 or
70 times, I will stop you.
(despairing music)
'Sup, bud?
- Hi.
- Listen, we talked to your principal
and think it's best that you
just study from home for now.
That a big deal? I figured
you'd be happy about that.
- Yeah. I mean, I guess.
- Ah, your mom's making
breakfast, if you can smell it.
Come on. She's burning the bacon.
- She's making bacon?
- [Donnie] Unfortunately.
- Bye, Mom.
- Hey, Summy, have a little toast.
- [Summer] Carbs?
- Okay. Dash?
Whatever. Have a good day at school.
- Yeah. Right.
- There you go. All right.
- Oh, there you go.
- Oh, my God.
- Huh, how'd that get in
there? Everything all right?
I figure we'll spend the day
working on the Mustang. Hm?
- Yeah.
What about my, um, my homework?
- It's gonna take a couple
of days to transition
to the online thing, right?
- Right.
- We got a couple errands
we gotta run to, so.
- Errands?
- Yeah.
- Ozzy, this condition you have
is not something you should handle alone.
But you're gonna have to.
You're, you're a very bright
kid and I know you're strong.
And not everyone's OCD
symptoms are the same.
But the treatment I
recommend for all my patients
along with the medicine,
it's exposure exercises.
And you're gonna have
to face your thoughts.
I want you not to run
away from them. Okay?
When you get an urge, don't run away.
Embrace it.
(upbeat music on radio)
(Donnie grunting)
- [Ozzy] You want me
to give it another go?
- I got it. (grunts)
Ooh. Cramp. Cramp. Ooh. Ah.
- [Ozzy] Do not got it.
- Here, take it.
That's weird.
- [Ozzy] I don't get it.
How did the tube, the
dipstick even come out?
- Oh, well, you gotta
drive the car delicately.
She's old. Mm.
(upbeat music continues)
- [Ozzy] When's the radiator coming in?
- Um, two weeks. It's
coming from China, so.
- [Ozzy] Well, for a few bucks.
- Hey, when you're restoring
a car, every dime counts.
- [Ozzy] Great. I got it.
- Shit. Uh, let's call
it a night. I'm done.
My goose is cooked.
Watch your fingers, buddy.
(lid slams)
Yeah.
(upbeat music continues)
- [Everett] Are you sure
we can't take the Mustang?
- What's wrong with my mom's car?
- We need a getaway car.
You know, not a Honda Civic.
- It's a Toyota Corolla.
- Okay. Same thing.
Anyways, have I told you about
this girl I've been seeing?
- Ooh, remember, like that other girl.
- No, no, no, dude. She's
actually really cool.
Like this tall Italian.
But it's been good.
(shoes skidding)
Anyways, our, oh, fun.
- [Ozzy] Hi, guys.
- Yeah, hey.
Are you sure we can't take the Mustang?
- Dude.
(keys jingle)
- I'll just go wait in the car.
- Yeah, come on, baby driver.
- What do you mean?
- Well, we figured you could assist
the senior prank driving.
- Why?
- Well, since the prank
is at the pool again,
we thought it would be a good idea
if you didn't come in there again.
- Okay.
- Wait for this. Ready?
My mom made ski masks.
(Ozzy laughs)
- Let's go, theater boy.
- [Dru] You know I'm in
theater for the girls, right?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- No, for sure.
- [Dru] Yep.
(upbeat music on radio)
- We'll be in and out, Booba.
Call if you see the cops. Let's go.
- Let's do it.
- [Ozzy] Bye, guys. Have fun.
- Thanks for coming.
- [Ozzy] 'Course.
Some could even turn into a song
Turn away, is there
something I should say
(upbeat music)
Just off the highway
Beyond the part of primrose
They're there in absentia
It's a gallant, faint home
No, no, you're not invited
The door is always closed
There's an ugly inside it
(engine humming)
It's where the pretty kids go
It's where the pretty kids go
Bad intentions
Broken by design, no exceptions
We're just wasting time
If you don't drink the Kool-Aid
Then you'll really never know
What poison tastes like
(music fading)
(voices muffled)
- Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.
- [Everett] Let's go.
- [Dru] Go.
- [Everett] Let's go.
It's where the pretty kids go
It's where the pretty kids go
(lighter clicks)
(lighter clicks)
- Can I have one?
- No. I'm not gonna be
responsible for your addiction.
- [Ozzy] What?
- If you could buy your own
cigarettes, you can smoke.
Now get outta my car.
- Okay. All right. I'll
see you. (lips smack)
- Ah, dude. k*ll yourself.
(both laugh)
Please don't actually k*ll yourself.
No, hey. I got a question.
(door slams)
What do you think about
Everett and Summer?
- What about them?
- [Dru] Ah...
- Like when they were dancing at prom?
- They went to a party after.
- Okay. Was it just a party?
- Yeah.
- [Ozzy] Okay.
- All right.
Sleep tight, Booba. Get outta my car.
I gotta drive home. All right?
- All right. Love you.
- Love you too, dude.
(car beeping)
(engine humming)
- Don, the Mustang is
running. The Mustang.
(alarming music)
- [Donnie] No. No, no, no.
- [Margaret] Get him out.
- [Donnie] Help me. Help me.
Careful, careful, careful. Ozzy.
(alarming music continues)
- [Margaret] Ozzy. Ozzy.
- [Donnie] Is he breathing?
- [Margaret] Ozzy.
- [Donnie] Come on, Ozzy. Come on, son.
Come on, Ozzy. Come on, Ozzy.
Come on, Ozzy. Come on, Ozzy.
(alarming music continues)
(engine puttering)
- [Margaret] So what do we do now?
- Well, we can up the medication.
Okay, but with upping the
medication comes from side effects
like, uh, drowsiness, muscle weakness,
and sometimes the
inability to think clearly.
But we have, we have high
hopes that this'll help.
- Okay, fine.
If, if you think it's best,
up the medication for now.
- If it would make you
feel more comfortable,
we could also schedule more
visits with a therapist.
- Okay. All right. Thank you.
- That weird kid in English class
brought Everett and I
both our own packs of gum.
He wanted to see how many pieces
he could put in our mouths.
- Does he have some kinda
weird fetish now or something?
- I don't know, man.
Anyways, Everett put 31
pieces of gum in his mouth.
- sh**t.
- And then he put it in the kid's hair.
(Ozzy laughing)
I don't think I'd be friends with Everett
if it wasn't for you.
It just, it was weird to
hang out with him alone.
You're like the glue for us all.
When do you think you'll
come back to school?
- I don't think I'm ever coming back.
- Don't say that.
- [Ozzy] I'm serious.
- You're thinking too much.
Hey. What is it like?
- It's wild, man.
I mean, it's like flying down
right by my house going 200.
The accelerator's stuck and
brakes have gone out
and you have no control.
- You get, like,
adrenaline rush every time?
- Not the good kind.
- So, like...
At school, you know, we...
- You don't have to try to say something.
Just enjoy my presence while you can.
- Shut the hell up.
(Ozzy laughs)
I love you, man.
- Okay, this week I want
you to record yourself
saying triggering thoughts and phrases,
and then put it on repeat the entire day.
So instead of trying to neutralize
the bad thoughts with good thoughts,
I want you to stay in the
presence of the bad thoughts.
You could even write those phrases down
and you can hang 'em on your room.
- [Ozzy] You're alone.
You can do anything.
There's a belt on your bed. Use it.
- [Summer] Ozzy.
- [Ozzy] k*ll yourself.
- [Summer] You need Mom or Dad?
- I, um, my therapist told me to do it.
It's an exercise.
- [Summer] Supposed to
help you not k*ll yourself?
(Summer crying)
- Gonna be okay.
- I think I'm pregnant. (cries)
- [Ozzy] Does Darrell know?
- It happened prom night.
(sniffles)
I missed my period.
I don't care what you thought
(Summer crying)
I don't care who you've done
We've all been used before
(Summer crying)
- Did you get a test
- It's in the bathroom.
I'm too scared to check.
(Ozzy crying)
You're driving, but you're lost
(Ozzy sniffles)
You don't know what you want
- [Ozzy] You're not pregnant.
We've all been used before
You don't need a miracle
- Hi, Ozzy. How are you, sweetie? Hm? Oh.
You are a miracle
- You good? Hm? Okay, good.
Oh, careful. Careful.
- Was this supposed to go out yesterday?
- Yes, it is. Do you mind?
Thank you, sweetheart.
Also, Dash is gonna be
home in a little bit.
I was thinking maybe you guys
could go out to the woods.
Get some blue weevils for me.
Yeah? Get outta the house?
Great. Okay. Just like old times.
All right, I'll be right back.
We've all been used before
(calm music)
(brush clatters)
- [Margaret] You girly friend is here.
- What?
- [Margaret] Mm-hm.
- [Ozzy] You found my house?
- It was not hard to find.
I haven't seen you at
school in a couple days.
Your sister said you were
going through something.
- Yeah, I'm good.
- Yeah, he's just been taking it easy.
Hey, Mia brought me a
butterfly hatching kit.
How cool is that? Thank you.
- [Mia] Yeah.
- In fact, the boys are
gonna go up to the woods
and collect beetles for me.
Do, do you wanna go?
- [Mia] I would love to.
- You sure?
- [Mia] Yeah.
- [Margaret] Okay. See
you later. Go get 'em.
Thank you.
(upbeat music)
I'm in a wrestling
match with myself again
I wonder who's gonna win
Sumo on the one side,
Pluto on the drum line
Maybe they'll be friends
Who knows what they say
- [Mia] So how exactly do
you catch these beetles?
- Ah, well, there is
an art to the capturing
and holding hostage of beetles.
First, they like to hang
out in cool shady spaces.
So to the woods.
Who knows what they say
- When you told me your
parents collected bugs,
I thought you meant, like, alive bugs.
- They don't k*ll them.
- Then what do you do with them?
- Keep them in jars till they die.
- But they're meant to be free.
- They're bugs. I mean,
they'll be content, right?
- But is not living better than death?
- I mean,
to live is to die.
- [Mia] Well, in the end.
- In my end, if somebody
strapped a guitar to me
and hung me on the wall,
I'd be pretty happy.
(both laugh)
- Is that your dream?
- No.
But sometimes the dream is
better than the outcome.
- [Mia] Hm.
Do beetles have dreams,
is the real question.
- Uh, probably not.
But The Beatles did.
(Mia laughs)
(calm music)
Let's explore. I got more flowers.
- [Mia] That's really far.
- There's so many flowers though.
(calm music continues)
(calm music continues)
Mia!
(voice echoing)
Shell of a ghost, makes
you nothing but mist
If hearing you hurts me,
I still hear your echo
- [Ozzy] I got a question for you.
- [Mia] What question?
- [Ozzy] What you wanna do?
- I wanna make movies.
- Oh, so you wanna be in a motion picture?
- Yeah. I wanna make films.
I know, very lame with me.
- Not lame.
- [Mia] My mom, she thinks
I'm crazy, actually,
for wanting to do movies.
- Yeah, everybody's
crazy for having dreams.
You're even crazier if
you don't follow them.
- Do your parents support you?
Like if you wanted to do music?
- I think they would.
- Do they want you to go to college?
- I don't think they really care
because they both didn't go.
- Yeah, I feel like we're
at a point in high school
where we kinda like have
just stopped learning.
I feel like I haven't learned
anything since middle school.
- Yeah. And then there's Mr. Wayman.
Gave my idiot friend an A.
I work for a week on it and I get a C.
- Your biggest fear story?
- Mm-hm. Yeah.
I wrote about alligators, which
I thought was pretty cool.
- [Mia] Are you afraid of alligators?
- Yes. Very much so.
- Really?
- [Ozzy] Yes. Do you wanna hear the story?
Okay, so you know how, like, your dreams,
like, don't have blood in them.
Think about it.
- I've never really thought
about that actually.
- [Ozzy] Right? See?
- It's true.
- I know. Okay.
So basically, um, we were
staying at this hotel, okay?
And we were all swimming in this pool, um,
and suddenly there is this alligator,
like, it's gotta be at least 10 feet long
and it's just chilling in
the middle of the pool.
And so the lifeguard is screaming,
you know, she wants everybody to get out.
She wants them to run.
And I guess that, that
lifeguard thought that,
I mean, it was her time to shine,
'cause she dove right in there and
(hand smacks)
dead.
Boom. Guts, blood.
It was so vivid.
- Damn. That's crazy.
How old were you?
- 11.
I don't dream much anymore.
What's your favorite movie?
- Oof. That's a hard one.
"It's A Wonderful Life."
Have you seen it before?
- Yeah. A long time ago though.
- I like it 'cause, in the movie,
the angel is basically showing
George Bailey, the main character,
how the world would be like without him.
And the angel takes him
to his brother's grave.
George saved his brother
when they were younger.
He almost drowned.
And the angel basically says,
"It's strange, isn't it,
how each man's life touches
so many other lives.
And when he isn't around,
he leaves an awful hole."
(lighthearted music)
Today was fun.
- You think so? I don't know.
If I didn't know better,
I'd think collecting bugs is pretty weird.
- [Mia] There's nothing weird about it.
Will you be at school tomorrow?
- No. Kinda on house arrest.
- When will I see you again?
- Tomorrow.
- [Mia] Maybe.
- Hey, guys. Hey, isn't
Mia staying for dinner?
- [Ozzy] She had to leave.
- Okay. You guys catch anything good?
- [Donnie] Yes. I named mine Ringo.
(Margaret laughing)
I have a whole band.
- Hey, Ozzy. Catch any bugs?
- You piece of shit.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
(fist thuds)
- I'll get Ozzy's medication.
- Hey, Dasher, why don't
you practice your audition
for the school musical for us?
- No.
- Come on, please. You do
such a good job. Please?
Fe, fi, fo, fi, swing on by
(Margaret clapping)
- [Ozzy] Good job.
- [Margaret] So good.
(paper rustles)
(pills rattling)
(Donnie sighs)
- So when you coming back to school?
It's kinda boring, you know,
without you being there.
You know, my sister was depressed.
They gave her Xanax. That sorta fixed it.
Why don't you just go on that?
- Well, Everett, Ozzy isn't depressed.
He's got OCD. Difference.
- Can I be excused?
- Yes.
Sum.
- Thanks for dinner. It's good.
- [Ozzy] Why him?
- Was it Dru?
I told that dumb ass not to say anything.
- Can't keep his mouth shut.
- Wish I knew that.
Look, I'm actually really sorry.
We were, I was gonna tell
you at dinner. I swear.
- You swear?
- Okay then, what am I supposed
to do? Not follow my heart?
- Maybe your heart needs
rewiring or something
'cause it's, dude, it's Everett.
What do you see in him?
- I mean, he's really nice to me,
but like, I always saw him as your friend
until it was just at prom.
We were just dancing together.
And when we went to the party afterwards
and we were just talking
and I got a little drunk and just kinda-
- Okay, I really don't
need a play by play.
(Ozzy humming)
- So...
I tried telling him you're not depressed.
Tried telling the whole school.
- Oh, God. What are they saying?
- You don't wanna know.
Well, actually, maybe this part.
Um, there was this rumor
going around last week
that you have this disease
where you think you're a fish
and that's why you jumped in the pool.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
(both laughing)
- Where did you learn to fight like that?
Because I never taught, that
was, I mean, Everett is huge.
I wouldn't fight him.
It doesn't mean that
I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm saying
it's the right thing to do.
I just, I, I don't know.
I mean, fights happen.
When I was a kid, I had this
bully in my neighborhood
who used to round up all the kids
and force us to fight in
the park every Friday night.
I lost every one.
But finally, when I was in
high school, I ended up, uh,
getting into the wrestling team.
Thought that might help
me win a fight or two,
but they don't wrestle in the park.
They punch you.
What am I gonna do with you?
- What are you gonna do with me?
- Love you.
- Hey, Dad?
- Yes, son.
- You know when I was younger,
I would get the, those nightmares.
- Hm, do I ever.
- So scary and so real.
- Some alligators.
- Those alligators.
- Freaked me out.
Used to sleep in your
room every single night.
I started to think they were real.
Back still hurts from that, by
the way. Thank you very much.
- I was gonna ask about that.
You know, you, have you
staying in my room again.
- Hey, yeah, of course. I'd be happy to.
I'll camp out there with you. Sure.
(crickets chirping)
- I wanna listen to my heart.
- Okay.
- Wanna ask Mia on a date.
- That's a great idea.
I, uh, I think you
should follow your heart.
- I'm gonna take her to the movies.
- Mm. Hmm.
I mean, you could.
Uh, have to tag along with you for now.
(Ozzy snorts)
- No way.
- Well, someone's gotta
keep an eye on you, son.
- She can just come over here.
- Yeah, absolutely.
She can come over here.
You can make your famous meatballs.
- Mm. She doesn't like
meat. She eats pixie dust.
(Donnie laughs)
- Just your type
Pixie dust. Oh, boy.
(engine rumbling)
(Donnie laughing)
- [Ozzy] Okay, okay, okay, okay.
- I can't, I can't, I can't.
- Come on.
- I can't. I can't.
Oh, my God. It's annoying.
- It is not a hard concept. All right.
You're gonna let out the clutch
and then you're gonna feel
it start to roll a little bit
and you're gonna give it gas.
And then you're gonna
slowly let go of the clutch.
Super easy.
- This is literally impossible to drive.
I don't know how you drive this anywhere.
- All right, take a break.
You're, you're making progress.
I was, um, I was wondering if,
you know, you and me...
(both laughing)
I'm sorry. If, uh...
Mia, would you go on a date with me?
- I would love to.
- Tomorrow?
- Mm, where are we going?
- Yeah, that's the thing.
You know, the whole
house arrest situation?
- Your parents won't let you go anywhere.
- No. Hence the house arrest. (laughs)
But, you know, I thought that maybe
I could make you dinner.
- [Mia] You cook?
- Yeah.
So, well, I mean, my,
my dad was on tour a
lot and my mom worked.
So I, I cooked.
- And, like, it's actually good?
- Yes, it's good. I, I promise.
- I don't have to pretend to like it?
- Yes, I promise.
- [Mia] Okay. (laughs)
- Drive up the hill. Go. Drive
- What?
- Come on.
You got this.
(upbeat music)
(upbeat music continues)
The dawn of where I'd be
If you fall in love with me
- That cloud looks like
a fat guy eating a sub.
- That one?
- No, that one.
- What? Where? That one?
- No. There.
- Oh, my god. It does. (laughs)
Hmm. So you take all
the girls up here, huh?
(laughs)
- Yeah. All of the girls.
No, not all the girls.
Just my mom and my sister.
So big competition.
- Wow. I'm honored.
(crickets chirping)
Hey, can I ask you something?
- [Ozzy] Sure.
- Are you sick?
- [Ozzy] What do you mean?
(duck quacking)
- [Mia] Do you have cancer?
- No, I don't have cancer.
- So why do you have to
stay home all the time?
- I'm like George Bailey.
I, I do know I have a wonderful life.
- So you know you'd leave a
hole if you were gone, right?
So at the pool,
you didn't just fall in?
(calm music)
- Oh, Mia.
Mia, don't think like that.
- Do you wanna die right now?
- [Ozzy] No.
(Mia sniffles)
Digging deeper, unhealed scars
Fueled with regrets, I'm a pyre
Nights drag on by
Wishing you were
Here with me
- Want me to get your guitar?
- I'm not gonna serenade her.
- Ah. Doing okay?
- Yeah.
- You sure?
- Maybe a little nervous.
- Eh, it's, it's normal.
Oh, by the way, got news that
the radiator is on its way.
Boop.
Howling
- Ozzy. This is so cute.
- You think so?
- Oh, my gosh.
I wish Dad would do something
like this for me. Yes.
Come here. I'm gonna take off.
I'll see you later tonight.
Okay, baby?
- [Ozzy] Right. Love you.
- I love you. I love you.
So proud of you, going on your first date,
having your first kiss.
- What?
- Nothing.
- What are you talking about?
- Oh, I just had Dash go up
and spy on you guys up the hill.
Anyway, uh, I ironed your dress shirt.
And then if you wanna wear one
of Dad's ties from the 80s,
they're in that bin upstairs, okay?
I think Dash was looking
at 'em last. (laughs)
I love you. Have fun.
Nights drag on by wishing you
Were here with me
Staring up at the ceiling
I'm craving you
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Nights drag on by wishing you
Were here with me
I'm alone, I'm home
Howling, howling
(humming)
(alarming music)
(Donnie grunts)
(guitar strums)
(alarming music)
(Ozzy cries)
- [Ozzy] You love your family.
(alarming music continues)
(Ozzy crying)
What about Mia? You can't
think like that. (cries)
You love (indistinct).
What about my family?
Can't handle this. They would
be better off without you.
(Ozzy crying)
(alarming music continues)
(furniture rattling)
(ringing)
(object thuds)
- Ozzy. Ozzy. Ozzy. Ozzy.
Oh, God.
(cries)
Oh, my boy. Oh, my boy.
(somber music)
Will I fall or will I misstep
Will I fall or will I misstep
Will I call you with my last breathe
Will you be there for me after
Will I waste inside the silence
Where the fear is f*cking violent
Wicked sinner thrown to lions
With no hope on the horizon
Will I fall or will I misstep
(somber music continues)
- I pictured myself
growing old watching him grow up.
Oh, his smile.
His smile was the best thing ever.
Lit up a whole room. And
his hugs, I mean, his...
You could meet him for the first time
and after a moment he could give you a hug
and make you just feel like family.
I mean, he was, he was happy, you know?
And he was thankful, kind.
He was so kind. Sorry, just...
(cries)
(indistinct)
(crickets chirping)
- [Margaret] Dash, why
don't you go help Dad.
- [Dash] Yeah.
- I got it.
It's not that heavy. (grunts)
- Donnie, why don't you just take a break.
- I'm fixing my son's car.
- What is it?
- It's the radiator.
Tell you what, you go and get my tools,
you can help me install it.
- Okay.
(Donnie panting)
(Margaret sniffles)
(Margaret crying)
(paper rustles)
- Oh, my baby. Oh, my baby.
(crickets chirping)
(Donnie grunting)
(car door slams)
(somber music)
(somber music continues)
(Margaret sniffles)
(somber music continues)
(dog barking)
- Yeah. Okay.
- [Ozzy] My biggest fear if I die,
the fear of not maintaining
control of my future.
And no, I'm not talking about
my future as in my career,
but my actions and not being
in control of my obsessions.
I feel like a ticking time b*mb.
Eventually I'm gonna blow up
and destroy everyone around me.
I didn't set the countdown
or enable the b*mb,
but God knows I'm trying to diffuse it.
(Donnie crying)
I have these visions of
death that I can't shake.
(somber music continues)
(somber music continues)
(crickets chirping)
(car door slams)
(engine rumbling)
(calm music)
(upbeat music)
(engine revving)
I guess I lied on my last paper
when I said my biggest
fear was alligators,
even though I've only ever
seen them in my dreams.
I would wake up with my voice hurting
because of how loud I would scream.
My dad would come in my room every night
and tell me he locked the
alligator in the closet
and that one day I'll have to
put away my alligator myself,
which made me realize
if I only focus on fear,
my life will become that.
What kind of life is a life
of fear? Not a very good one.
Time is the most precious thing we have,
which is why when I have
the feeling of fear,
I try to replace it with
a feeling of gratefulness,
surrounding myself with
those most important to me.
It's really all anyone has in life.
There's a lot someone can be afraid of,
but when you have family
and friends who love you,
it makes all those fears feel small.
So my biggest fear isn't death,
but taking for granted
my life and those I love,
especially never telling them
how much they mean to me,
even when they let me down.
Life will never be perfect, but
it can always be well spent.
I will always focus on
gratefulness over fear.
And because of that, truly, I feel fine.
(music fading)
(calm music)
When it's a lifetime of not enough
And every death is approaching
Maybe your cross is the bitter love
I'm waiting on, I'm waiting on
So I will wait for the morning light
With every breath, death and rising
Maybe the truth is the sweeter life
I'm hoping so, I'm hoping so
When it's a lifetime of not enough
And every death is approaching
Maybe your cross is the bitter love
I'm waiting on, I'm waiting on
So I will wait for the morning light
With every breath, death and rising
Maybe the truth is the sweeter life
I'm hoping so, I'm hoping so
I hope it's so
I hope it's so
(calm music continues)
(people cheering)
I Feel Fine. (2024)
