00:00My family has been going to Susannah's beach house in Cousins every summer since I was a baby.
00:21Since before I was even born.
00:23All year long, I count the days until I'm in that house.
00:30The dads come to visit, but it's not their place, they don't belong to it.
00:35Not the way we do, the mothers and us kids.
00:49The summer house is made up of lots of things.
00:54The beach.
01:00On the streets that once was pretty, Mr. Blue.
01:04Died for living here today.
01:07Hey!
01:09The swimming pool late at night.
01:12Movie nights with the moms.
01:14But the boys.
01:18The boys most of all.
01:23It's the same every summer.
01:25I've always loved that about it.
01:28It's Steven!
01:29Steven!
01:37For me, everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August.
01:42Drew's bummed you're missing the beach matchup with the boys' team next weekend.
01:43Um, make sure you tell Sophie to square up for the block.
01:44Drew Martinez is texting me about you when you're talking about volleyball.
01:57Like, are you serious right now?
01:58Drew doesn't care if I'm there or not.
01:59He just wants an excuse to text you.
02:00And you better take this game against the guys, seriously.
02:01I mean, team pride is on the line, Taylor.
02:02Please, you know me better than that.
02:03I would never let a boy beat me at anything.
02:04Ha!
02:05I thought you came here to help me pack.
02:06Fine.
02:07I'll help.
02:08Here's a tip.
02:09Don't bring that speedo.
02:10It doesn't do a thing for your new boobs.
02:11What?
02:12What?
02:13What?
02:14What?
02:15What?
02:16What?
02:17What?
02:18What?
02:19What?
02:20What?
02:21What?
02:22What?
02:23What?
02:24What?
02:25What?
02:26What?
02:27What?
02:28What?
02:29What?
02:30What?
02:31What?
02:32What?
02:33What's the thing for your new boobs?
02:34It's not a speedo.
02:35I'm just saying babes, like you need to pack cute things.
02:37Well, I always buy a new suit when I get there.
02:39Okay, so you buy one that doesn't look like you're trying out for the swim team.
02:42Are you serious?
02:43entendu laughter
02:48Belly, we're leaving in the next 10 minutes.
02:50You gotta go.
02:51No, you don't.
02:52We still have 10 minutes.
02:59�
03:02You have to tell me your summer wish.
03:04Like the one thing you want to happen this summer.
03:07I don't know.
03:09You little liar. Yes, you do.
03:11You want a hot make-out with Conrad Fisher.
03:14You want his tongue in your mouth, you dirty little slut.
03:17Shut up, dude.
03:19I'm just saying, like, you've been in love with him since we were 12.
03:24You've got to shit or get off the pot.
03:26A, that's disgusting, and B, it doesn't matter what I do.
03:30He doesn't see me that way.
03:31Oh, he'll see you, whether he wants to or not.
03:36You look a lot different than last summer, Billy.
03:41I love this drive, this moment.
03:44It's like coming home after you've been gone a long, long time.
03:46Every time she goes through her hair
03:50I feel the tension in the air
03:54No, I can't let you leave
03:57So I kill my insecurity
04:00Oh, you can't do better
04:06Oh, you can't do better
04:13Can you guys turn it down a little, please?
04:17Yes, please.
04:18I want you to be better about helping out this summer.
04:21Like, don't just leave your dishes in the sink.
04:24Load them into the dishwasher.
04:25And not just your own dish either, Stephen.
04:27I want you to be good house guests.
04:29Mom, Susanna has people who clean, doesn't she?
04:32Stephen.
04:33Ow!
04:35All right, all right, sorry.
04:37My mom is weird about money.
04:39The fact that Susanna has a lot and we don't.
04:42Just be considerate and act like I raised you, right?
04:46Stephen, that means don't stay out too late.
04:48Mom, I'm too old for a curfew.
04:50Wait, what about me?
04:51I don't have a curfew either, right?
04:52What do you need a curfew for?
04:54You don't go anywhere.
04:56Don't be a jackass, Stephen.
04:57What?
04:58Belly, we'll talk about it when something comes up.
05:02Oh, and don't forget you promised you'd take me driving.
05:04Belly, I told you I'd take you.
05:07Yeah, but you're too judgy.
05:09Excuse me?
05:10Yes, I'm sorry.
05:22Hey.
05:32Boys at school never look at me.
05:35Taylor's the one they look at.
05:37I guess you could say I'm just kind of there.
05:44Are you new this summer?
05:46Uh, me?
05:47No.
05:49Really?
05:50Here.
05:51I thought I knew every pretty girl and cousins.
05:56Coming to the bonfire tonight?
05:57First of the season.
05:59Uh, maybe.
06:00Come.
06:01I'll introduce you to some of my friends.
06:03Maybe I will.
06:05After we get settled, do you want to go to Whale of a Tale with me
06:07so I can pre-sign stock before the signing tomorrow night?
06:11Remember, I used to sit on my lap when I did signings there.
06:15You insisted on drawing a little whale in every book I signed.
06:18No, I don't remember that.
06:21I'll take that.
06:23I'll make you a deal.
06:24I'll let you pick out tonight's dessert if you come with me and keep me company.
06:28I'll see you later.
06:29What's later?
06:30Nothing.
06:30Nothing.
06:30Good to see you soon.
06:39Oh.
06:42Oh.
06:42It smells exactly the same.
07:09Tastes the same.
07:12Like it's been waiting for me to get here.
07:42It's been waiting for me to get here.
07:45They're here.
07:46What's up?
07:47Hi.
07:48Oh my God.
07:49Hello.
07:50Long time no see.
07:51Hi.
07:52Hi.
07:53Oh my God.
07:54Hello.
07:55Long time no see.
07:56Hi.
07:57Oh my God.
07:58You've been going to the gym all the time?
08:00He's talking about you.
08:01Are you kidding me?
08:02Oh my God.
08:03I know.
08:04Oh my God.
08:05When did that happen?
08:06I'll come in.
08:07Look who came back all grown up.
08:08I'll come in.
08:09Look who came back all grown up.
08:10I'll come in.
08:11Oh my God.
08:12Look who came back all grown up.
08:13Oh my God.
08:15Jer, Jer, Jer, Jer.
08:16Come over here.
08:17Come on.
08:18And there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you, dear.
08:32Have I known you 20 seconds for 20 years?
08:42I like you better with glasses.
08:45Too bad.
08:46I like me better without them.
08:48I don't know.
08:49What?
08:50Yeah.
08:51Hey, hey, hey, hey, guys, guys.
08:53I mean, I, I, I don't know about you, but I, well, I, I, I think it's time for a belly
09:02plop.
09:03Get that, get that, get that, get that, get that, get that.
09:06Oh, no.
09:07Get it, get it.
09:08No.
09:09Let's go.
09:10Let's go.
09:11Let's go.
09:12Belly plop.
09:13Belly plop.
09:14I don't know, I don't know.
09:16I don't know.
09:17Okay, ready, okay, ready, ready.
09:18Ready?
09:19One, two, three!
09:27How's the water?
09:29Guys, I hurt my ankles.
09:31Come on.
09:32Yes.
09:33Yes.
09:38Ellie!
09:49Let go.
10:02Oh, my God.
10:03Laurel, how many boxes did you bring?
10:05I told you not to bother.
10:06Your fancy little market doesn't even carry Diet Coke back.
10:11Hi.
10:12You're dripping water all over the place.
10:14Laurel.
10:19You have always been lovely, but oh, honey, look at you.
10:23I think I look pretty much the same.
10:25No, you do not look the same at all.
10:27You're growing up.
10:29You're in bloom.
10:32Susanna has a way of saying things that almost makes me believe her.
10:36Laurel, she's you all over.
10:38People always say I look like my dad.
10:39No, when your mom and I first met, she looked just like you.
10:42Except I had no boobs at all.
10:44Gross, Mom.
10:48You should call your father and tell him we got in safely.
10:50Why don't you tell Steven to do it?
10:52Because I'm telling you.
10:54He misses you guys when you're gone.
10:56Yeah, but he'll see us at the end of the summer.
10:58He'll be here for the fourth.
11:00Wait, he's coming here?
11:01Of course.
11:02He always comes for the fourth.
11:03He didn't come last summer.
11:05Because we've just gotten divorced.
11:07And we're good now.
11:09Where's Mr. Fisher?
11:11Oh, he's in London.
11:13They got him going back and forth.
11:15He'll join us later in the summer.
11:17For now, it's just the woman and the children.
11:19Just the way we like it.
11:38Junior Mint.
11:39I can't believe you still have that bear.
11:45Duh.
11:46I would never throw away Junior Mint.
11:48Come on, let's swim before dinner.
11:49Please.
11:51I can't.
11:52I have to go with my mom to whale of a tail.
11:55Man, I've been wanting to go in the ocean all day,
11:57but I've been waiting for you to get here.
12:00Please.
12:02Pretty please.
12:03Pretty please.
12:05Yeah, yeah, screw it.
12:07Let's go swim.
12:08Yes!
12:09Alright, I'll meet you outside.
12:10Okay?
12:11Okay, I'll be right down.
12:19I'll be right back.
12:21You going into town?
12:22Oh, Belly and I were going to go by whale of a tail
12:23so I can sign stock,
12:24but it seems she's ditched me for the ocean.
12:27Let her play, I'll go with you.
12:28I just need to drop by the country club first.
12:30The country club?
12:31Oh God, never mind.
12:32I'll go by myself.
12:33I'm going to check on the catering for your party.
12:35Catering?
12:36I swear to God, Bec,
12:37you said you were doing a few bottles of wine and that's it.
12:40It's just a few light appies.
12:41Calm down.
12:43You don't have to come in the club.
12:44You can wait in the car.
12:46Fine.
13:03Be quick.
13:04If you leave me too long, I'll get sunk in flames.
13:21Come on.
13:23Okay, I'm ready.
13:24I'm ready.
13:30Hey, did you know my dad's coming up for the fourth?
13:33Cool.
13:35Don't you think it's weird?
13:36Not really.
13:37I love your dad.
13:38Yeah, but they've only been divorced for like a year and a half.
13:40Well, that's what's so cool about your mom, you know?
13:42She just doesn't give a shit.
13:43Exactly.
13:44She doesn't give a shit because she's the one who wanted the divorce in the first place.
13:48I think if you don't want to be married, you just shouldn't be married.
13:51Well, I'll tell that to my grandma.
13:53She basically collapsed when my mom told her.
13:56Do you know my dad has a new girlfriend already?
14:00Well, what about your mom?
14:01Is she dating your buddy?
14:03No.
14:04Oh, and he has a beard now.
14:07Your dad has a beard?
14:08Yeah.
14:09Yeah, he thinks it makes him look cool.
14:11Well, does it?
14:13Kind of.
14:17Waited all year for this.
14:19Wanna race?
14:20No, no, I can't.
14:21Oh, come on.
14:22Your legs are too long now.
14:23I can't do that.
14:25Oh.
14:26That was a bad start.
14:27It's either.
14:50We are all set for your party tomorrow night.
14:51Great.
14:53How was tour?
14:54Oh, my publishers didn't send me on tour for this one.
14:56It's been a pretty quiet release.
14:58Oh.
14:59Sorry.
15:00Are you on social media?
15:01You should really be on social media.
15:03Ah, well.
15:04No.
15:05I'm not.
15:06Are you working on something new?
15:07Always.
15:08How many copies did you guys order for tomorrow night?
15:10I think 20.
15:11Oh, that's not nearly enough.
15:13I've invited half the town.
15:14What?
15:15You said this was just going to be a small thing.
15:16Mika, I am so sorry, but you might have to run to the Barnes & Noble in Portsmouth and get some more.
15:21Business has been slow.
15:22We haven't been keeping as much stock.
15:23What about this?
15:24We must have a hundred copies of this book.
15:26Cleveland Castillo is off-brand Jonathan Franzen.
15:29Cleveland Castillo is such a phony name.
15:31It's like, hi, I'm masculine, but I'm an intellectual.
15:34I bet Hemingway is his hero.
15:36He wears horn-rimmed glasses.
15:38Yeah.
15:39See?
15:40God.
15:41Yeah, contacts irritate my eyes.
15:49Goodbye, Cleveland.
15:51Yeah, that was something.
15:53He's renting the workhouse all summer.
15:55Oh, that's a nice place.
15:57Sorry.
15:59Steven, I swear to God, if you look at that phone one more time, I'm putting it in the
16:07screen basket.
16:08It's just we want to see your beautiful faces.
16:10Can dinner be a screen-free zone?
16:12You know, like the olden days?
16:14Steven.
16:15Dude, are you kidding me?
16:18Boom!
16:19Nailed it.
16:20Okay, okay, okay.
16:21We get it.
16:22You've been working out.
16:23Oh, you're just jealous because Jer has a better body than you.
16:25Uh, no.
16:26Actually, it's all about the lean look now.
16:28Otherwise, you can't wear tailored suits.
16:30Sure, sure.
16:31Tailored suits.
16:32What are you leaving for training camp, man?
16:36Uh, he quit football.
16:41Wait, really?
16:42You quit?
16:43Mm-hmm.
16:44Are you kidding me, man?
16:45I'd kill to play college ball.
16:46He can always change his mind.
16:47I'm not gonna change my mind.
16:48I was just gonna sit on the bench all season anyways.
16:50Well, if you're not playing football anymore, what are you gonna do all summer?
16:54Oh, dude, you could work at the club.
16:56Yeah, with me and Jer, yeah.
16:57I'm not gonna work at the club.
16:59Wait, you guys are working this summer?
17:01Yeah, I'm lifeguarding, and Steven's working at the snack shop.
17:06Oh, Belly, I almost forgot.
17:09I have a surprise for you.
17:12So this is why you had to stop by the country club.
17:15What, uh, what, what is that?
17:17I wrangled Belly an invitation to be a debutante.
17:20Is that the thing where the girls wear white dresses and curtsies?
17:23When a girl comes of age and is presented to society.
17:27I know it sounds silly, but I swear it's fun.
17:30Girls come from all over New England to cousins just to be a part of it.
17:33You'll make so many new friends.
17:35I cannot believe you are still holding on to this archaic dream.
17:37No, it used to be about finding a husband, but now it's about networking.
17:41They teach you leadership skills, like how to market yourself, and it benefits charity.
17:46It's, um, like a bat mitzvah.
17:48It's not like a bat mitzvah.
17:50There is nothing religious about a debutante ball.
17:53The whole dev scene is bullshit. It's for sheep.
17:55Yeah.
17:56No, it's not.
17:57It's when a girl has a coming out, it's a formal recognition she's reached maturity.
18:02I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Mature.
18:06Yes.
18:07Belly.
18:08A couple months ago, you had a cat funeral. You made us all wear black.
18:11Shut up, Steven. I saw you crying in your room.
18:13Wait, Mochi died? Dang, I'm sorry, Bells.
18:16Belly, don't you want to get all dressed up?
18:20It's just not Belly's kind of thing. She's our feral little alley cat.
18:25I like it.
18:29I'll think about it.
18:31She'll think about it.
18:33Oh, girl, it's you that I lie with
18:46As the atom bomb locked in
18:55Oh, girl, it's you
19:02Night swim?
19:03Yeah, night swim.
19:04Hey, how many followers is a lot of followers on Instagram?
19:07Um, is it somebody who's verified or not verified?
19:10What's verified?
19:11Thank God, Mom.
19:12Oh, yeah, Taylor's dad was reading this guy's book.
19:17150,000 followers is a lot, especially for a writer.
19:21Okay, thanks.
19:42I thought you said smoking pot changes the way your brain processes information.
19:48So does your cell phone.
19:50You said marijuana messes with white matter.
20:09Do you even know what white matter is?
20:12You said our brains are still developing and that...
20:15God, do you memorize every single thing that I've ever said?
20:18Get over yourself.
20:30I mean, Conrad, you're the one who said that smoking's dumb
20:34And that real athletes don't put shit in their bodies.
20:36I said a lot of stuff.
20:38And I'm not an athlete anymore, so...
20:41Well, I still think you should quit.
20:50What do you give me if I do?
21:00Nothing. I think you should quit for yourself.
21:11Hey, why are you considering this debutante thing?
21:15I don't know.
21:16I mean, it's not like I have anything else going on.
21:20But it's not you.
21:23Don't let my mom make you her little doll just because she never had a daughter.
21:27I don't mind it.
21:29I mean, sometimes I wish I was her daughter.
21:32You're better off at Laurel, trust me.
21:38Why are you acting so different?
21:44I'm not.
21:46I know you.
21:47I mean, something's going on.
21:48Just...
21:50Just tell me.
21:51Yeah.
21:56Yeah.
21:59First bonfire of the summer!
22:02All right, we're totally taking my car.
22:04You're not driving.
22:06Come on, man, we're leaving.
22:07You ready?
22:08Can I come too?
22:09Uh, no.
22:11The moms are getting everything set up for your movie night.
22:15See ya.
22:16Let's go, slowpoke.
22:19Have fun with the moms!
22:21Brownies are going in.
22:34Go put the DVD in.
22:36Uh, do we have to watch it happen one night?
22:38Can't we do something different?
22:39Well, we always watch it happen one night on the first night.
22:41Well, we could watch the Philadelphia story instead.
22:47Everything okay?
22:48Yeah, no, I'm just...
22:50I'm kind of tired, so I think I might skip the movie.
22:55We can do the brownies another night.
23:18But that was just because of the lines that came in.
23:19We want to show a little too.
23:20Well, we don't than have to.
23:21Yeah, I didn't have to.
23:22Say hi.
23:23It really does have to.
23:24That's right.
23:25Do we know it?
23:26If you're listening to...
23:27Me too.
23:28I'm not, I know.
23:29I don't know.
23:30How about the granuleet?
23:31To do.
23:32Do we know?
23:34It could be very common.
23:35I don't know.
