00:00Lanna! Lanna, stop!

00:10Lanna, stop! Stop, stop, stop, stop!

00:30Lanna, stop!

00:32Mom?

00:34Lanna, stop, stop!

00:36Lanna, stop, stop!

00:46Hi, Abby.

01:00Why do you sound so weird?

01:12Unfortunately, we're going to have to cancel the field trip to the zoo.

01:25We just don't have the money for it.

01:28Come on!

01:29Wait, wait, wait.

01:32Please give me a moment.

01:34Open your books to page 52.

01:36I'll be right back.

01:39Ugh, this sucks.

01:41I heard a teacher say that extra money is paying for Lanna's definite assistance.

01:45This is so unfair.

01:46Yeah, can't she be putting, like, a special ed class or something?

01:50Exactly.

01:52I'm sorry.

02:04We don't want an apology from a freak robot.

02:19I think robot.

02:20There she is.

02:21Uh-huh.

02:22Let's roll.

02:23Let's do it.

02:24She does work in a nice place.

02:25Look at this material.

02:26It's nice.

02:27It would feel nice on the floor.

02:29Oh, there it goes.

02:30And there this one goes.

02:31Oh, and there this one goes.

02:32Oh, and there this one goes.

02:33Oops.

02:34My bad.

02:35Oh, shoot her better.

02:36Go, go, go, go, go, go.

02:37Lana, the mess.

03:06Clean it up. Let's go. Now!

03:30Hey, I hear you lower your blink.

03:33Do you want to pay me at least a thousand dollars right now?

03:37You're on your blink.

03:38I know I owe you. I'm just waiting to get paid.

03:40I need the money now.

03:41Now! I'm serious, Liz!

03:45I know I have something somewhere.

03:47There's...

03:51Just hold on.

03:53Here is the rent money.

04:03I'm sorry, sweetie.

04:06It's okay, Mom.

04:09I wish you would use your voice more often.

04:13I'm sorry, sweetie.

04:23It's okay, Mom.

04:25I wish you would use your voice more often.

04:30I just want to go for a walk.

04:32I just want to go for a walk.

04:34No!

04:35I'll come with you.

04:36That's okay.

04:37I just need some pressure.

04:38Please don't go by yourself.

04:39I don't want you to get hurt.

04:41Just wait for me.

04:42I'll be fine.

04:44Sweetie!

04:50It's okay.

04:52I'll just stand.

05:02Let's go.

05:15What was it?

05:17Eli, what was that?

05:20You have to stop hesitating.

05:21Come on.

05:23Yes, sir.

05:24Sorry, coach.

05:25You can't be such a coward in football.

05:27You hear me?

05:29Listen up.

05:30I know a lot of us have been looking forward to this year's tournament, but the school can't afford to send us this year

05:35What? That doesn't mean we give up. We don't quit. You understand that? Yeah, I know exactly why

05:50Lana

05:52This is a new device that will provide captioning for you for lessons and videos

06:00Thank you

06:03Now look more expensive stuff for the freak. Yeah, this is why we can't have nice things anymore

06:11Attention class, let's give a warm welcome to our new student Haley. Please have a seat wherever you like and we'll get you started

06:20Is it okay if I sit here

06:26Yes

06:30You have quite a bit of work to catch up on but lucky for you Lana here knows all the material very well

06:41It's nice to meet you, Lana

06:44Hi Haley, I love your t-shirt. Thank you. Maybe you can help me catch up with this after school

06:52Sure, I'd like that. Are you okay with coming over later?

06:57I heard some kids say that the school can't compete in the football tournament anymore

07:20Something about lack of funding, I think

07:22Something about lack of funding I think

07:46Hey girl, you ready?

08:04Overcoming fear is about identifying the source.

08:08Does it stem from a specific thought, place, or person?

08:12A traumatic memory?

08:14Fear will go away when they're...

08:16Oh, who is my charger?

08:21We're gonna do it.

08:51You must be really popular.

09:02Oh, no. They're just my friends from my old school.

09:05Sorry, I should have known the buzzing would be distracting.

09:14Hayley, how do you make friends?

09:17Just by being yourself.

09:21What if being yourself is weird?

09:30Come. I want you to meet my mom and brother.

09:38Hey, Mom. Jeff.

09:40This is my new bestie, Lana. She's helping me catch up in class.

09:44Nice to meet you, Lana.

09:45So nice to meet you, too. I speak through this tablet because I am deaf.

09:54She said she speaks through the tablet because she's deaf.

09:56I'm deaf, too. Nice to meet you.

10:02You girls have fun.

10:03Come on.

10:04I didn't know your brother was deaf, too.

10:12Come on.

10:13So, knowing what you know, would you be his friend?

10:28Of course.

10:29So there's no reason why anyone shouldn't be yours.

10:33We're friends, aren't we?

10:34I would like to be your friend.

10:44Like, Lana.

10:46Your voice, it's so pretty.

10:50I usually don't speak.

10:52Why do you sound so weird?

10:53How do you know?

10:55How do you know?

10:57Because I sound weird.

11:00I used to have a best friend, but after my accident, he changed.

11:10So, that's why I used a tablet.

11:15But I won't use it forever.

11:18I'm saving up for this surgery to fix my hearing.

11:22Jeff looked into that, but it doesn't return your hearing to its original form.

11:27He said he liked the way he was.

11:32He was special.

11:36Sometimes it's better to accept that things have changed.

11:40So, please, don't rush into anything.

11:46I appreciate that.

11:48But I'm finally able to afford this surgery.

11:51I only need a few more shifts.

11:54Just remember the grass isn't always Grinner on the other side.

11:57Okay?

12:09Where have you been?

12:10I've been texting you non-stop.

12:12I was so worried.

12:15Where have you been?

12:16I've been texting you non-stop.

12:17I was so worried.

12:19I made a new friend.

12:21They're so nice.

12:22And we had dinner.

12:24You need to be careful.

12:26You can't just go out without me knowing where.

12:29Mom, but I'm almost 18.

12:30You need to tell me where you are at all times.

12:34How am I supposed to protect you if I don't even know where you are?

12:36You don't need to protect me.

12:38I just want to feel normal for once.

12:40I just want to hang out with my friends and go out.

12:44Please, Mom.

12:46I need to look out for you.

12:51I am your mom, and people are so cruel.

12:54Especially to people like you.

12:56Honey, I'm sorry.

13:01Honey, I'm sorry.

13:01I didn't mean to hurt you.

13:11I'm sorry.

13:13Hi, Yai.

13:17Your turn to grab it.

13:18I made some new friends in history.

13:47You have to sit with us.

13:52Hey.

13:52Hey, how you doing?

13:53Hi, Hayley.

13:54This is Lana, my first bookside friend, and the only reason why I caught up in math.

14:00Hey.

14:00Hi.

14:01Nice to meet you.

14:11Hi.

14:12How's to meet you all?

14:13I just love your top, Lana.

14:14We hear you're, like, great at math.

14:16You should totally study with us sometime.

14:17Hayley keeps telling us how cool you are.

14:19Just remember to speak one at a time so she can read your lips.

14:23Sorry.

14:26We'll do that moving forward.

14:27We're watching a game tomorrow.

14:30Want to come?

14:33Yay!

14:35It's going to be a blast.

14:37You're going to have so much fun.

14:39Especially for the guys.

14:41Ah!

14:42Okay, who's your crush?

14:44Yeah.

14:44Oh, no.

14:45Don't even get it.

14:46Okay, okay.

14:46What about you?

14:47Just remember the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

14:56Sometimes it's better to accept that things have changed.

15:19Let's go, bro.

15:49Let's go to the tournament.

15:51What?

15:52How?

15:53Bro, I don't know.

15:53Apparently somebody paid for the cost out of their own pocket.

15:56Wait, but who paid for it?

16:01So I finally saved up enough money.

16:05Listen, I know it's your decision to make, but I really want you to think...

16:10I decided I'm not getting the surgery.

16:15Really?

16:16Yeah.

16:16I realized I'm not weird.

16:21I'm just different.

16:23It's like someone told me the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

16:28Come here.

16:33After all, sometimes it's like better to accept things have changed.

16:38Hey, girl.

16:40So good to see you.

16:42Hey.

16:43Lana, you want to go see a movie with us this weekend?

16:47For sure.

16:48Yay!

16:51I'll see you guys this weekend?

16:53Yeah.

16:54Yeah.

16:54See ya.

16:55Bye, babe.

16:56Bye.

16:57Bye.

16:58Bye.

16:59You're welcome.

17:00What are you doing?

17:30Sweetie, Eli, good thing you were here.

17:36Lana, I am so sorry that I've been such a jerk to you.

17:43And I'm sorry that I didn't save you back then.

17:45To be honest, every time I looked at you, I was reminded what a coward I was.

18:05I'm sorry about your time, Libby.

18:18You're friends after all.

18:25I hope you do wear the totemate.

18:34You're definitely good at tackling.

18:36I'm sure I will now.

18:42Okay, out of the street.

18:44Okay, good.

18:47Thanks.

18:48Thanks.

18:51Thanks.

18:53Thanks.
