00:00My skin
00:26This is love, I know it is, I know it sounds super cliché, but you make me feel some type of way, this is falling, falling in love, I know it sounds super cliché, but you make me feel some type of way, this is falling, falling in love.
00:50Good morning, belly.
00:52Oh my gosh, am I late?
00:53No, you're fine.
00:56Are you ready for your big day?
00:59Not at all.
01:01Oh yes, you are.
01:03What if I tripped?
01:04You won't, just hold on to Jeremiah's arm, he won't let you fall.
01:09That's true.
01:10You know, I still can't believe you got him to go with you, he swore up and down he'd never go to one of these things.
01:16He said he doesn't mind.
01:18Well, he'd do anything for you, they both would.
01:21Everything okay?
01:28Yeah.
01:31Did I push you into this?
01:33You can tell me the truth.
01:35Um, maybe a little at first.
01:38No, but I wanted to make you happy.
01:40Look, honestly, we don't even need to go tonight if you don't want to, okay?
01:43No, I, I want to go.
01:45I want to finish what I started.
01:47And I'm, I'm kind of proud to show everybody.
01:49I love you so much, beautiful girl.
02:01Okay, um, when they take your photograph, remember, say prune, it'll make your cheekbones look divine.
02:08Prune?
02:09Prune.
02:10It's just an old trick I learned from Madonna.
02:12Or was it the Olsen twins?
02:15Who are they?
02:15They're moguls.
02:18They're fashion icons.
02:20They own the early 2000s.
02:22They're sisters with the Scarlet Witch.
02:24Okay.
02:25Can I meet me downstairs?
02:28There's a surprise for you.
02:42You got me the dress I wanted.
02:45Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, oh my god.
02:50Thank your mom.
02:51It was her idea.
02:54I'm going to check on your shoes.
02:55I put them in the freezer and stretch them out.
02:59I can't believe you guys got me the dress.
03:01You just look so uncomfortable in the other one.
03:05I, I, I didn't think you noticed.
03:08I'm your mother.
03:11I know you.
03:11I, I, I know you didn't want me to be a Deb.
03:21I didn't, but.
03:27It's just hard to let you go.
03:28Stephen, what are you doing here?
03:41I screwed up big time.
03:48Okay.
03:48Risa, I poker with Liam, um, I lost every hand.
03:55You know, the money I've been saving up all summer, it's gone.
03:58I can't even pay for my tux now.
04:00I'm sorry, I can't go to the ball with you.
04:04Are you fucking kidding me?
04:05I mean, I started losing and I, and I thought I could win it back, but every hand I got,
04:08things just got worse and worse and worse.
04:10And you couldn't just get up and leave?
04:14No, of course not.
04:15Because you wanted Liam and the other guys to think you were a baller.
04:18You didn't think about how it would make me feel?
04:20Shayla, I'm so sorry.
04:23Stephen, the ball is tonight.
04:25I know.
04:28Fine, I'll just give you the money.
04:29No, no, no.
04:31Look, I'm not taking any money from you.
04:33What about your mom?
04:35My mom shall kill me.
04:37Yeah, like, I'm about to kill you right now.
04:43Stephen, please just be honest with me.
04:45Do you even want to go to this ball together?
04:47Yes.
04:48Yes, yes.
04:49I'm, more than anything.
04:52Okay, I think my dad has an old tux upstairs.
04:54You can wear that.
04:56I mean, will it, will it fit?
04:57You, you know, could...
04:59No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
05:01You're right, you're right, you're right.
05:02I'm sorry.
05:03I'm sorry, that...
05:04That would be amazing.
05:06That's super nice of you.
05:09Shayla, I really don't want to miss this.
05:13You are a dumbass.
05:16Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:23Hey, good morning.
05:24I, um, I picked up some of those good muffins.
05:32I, I'm good.
05:33Thanks, though.
05:35Okay.
05:35Oh, Belly, you should get going.
05:37Oh, and everyone stay out of the family room.
05:39I've done all your paintings,
05:40and tonight, after the ball,
05:41we'll have a big unveiling.
05:43Oh, uh, can you put that in Laurel's car, honey?
05:44Yeah.
05:45Hurry, hurry.
05:46Are, aren't you driving me?
05:48I'm going over with Susanna,
05:49so I thought maybe you could drive yourself.
05:53Seriously?
05:54It's only a few blocks.
05:55Unless you don't want to.
05:55Yes, yes, yes.
05:57Drive slow, obey the lights,
05:59wait four seconds at each stop sign.
06:00I know, I know.
06:01We'll see you at the club in a few hours.
06:03Hey.
06:03Yeah.
06:05Break a leg.
06:06That'd be bad.
06:07I'm supposed to be dancing all night.
06:09I just, I just mean good luck.
06:10It's like a thing people say.
06:11Um, for what it's worth,
06:16Trevor's the right choice.
06:19Yeah, I know.
06:37Don't be nervous.
06:38We're going to be the best waltzers out there.
06:39No, it's, it's not that.
06:43What?
06:44You're nervous about seeing the girls?
06:45No, I mean, everyone must know what happened by now.
06:47They all probably hate me.
06:49I'm going to come with?
06:50I could be your hairstylist slash bodyguard.
06:53No, you can't be in the green room.
06:54It's girls only.
06:57Listen, Belly.
06:59You've got this, all right?
07:02I'll be right by your side the whole night.
07:05And if anybody gives you shit, I will.
07:07You'll do what?
07:08I'll be like, yo, that's not cool at all.
07:13I'll grab your hand.
07:14And we'll dance away from everybody.
07:16I'll see you at the club.
07:25Drive safe.
07:34What the freak?
07:35Are you kidding me?
07:36You and Jeremiah?
07:37It just happened.
07:38Wait, wait, when?
07:39What, just now?
07:40Like a week ago?
07:43Oh, my God.
07:44Are you kidding me?
07:47Oh, this is sick.
07:48I feel like I'm going to throw up.
07:49Oh, oh, my God.
07:50You guys were like, what, like sneaking around, keeping it a secret from me this whole time?
07:54This has nothing to do with you, Steven.
07:56Oh, my God.
07:56Are you guys like a couple?
07:57No, no, I don't, I don't know.
07:59We just, we, we just kissed a few times.
08:01Just a few.
08:02Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
08:03So, so what about Conrad?
08:05What about him?
08:06I don't know.
08:07Maybe the fact that you've been like goo-goo-ga-ga over him since you were 10.
08:10Well, I'm not 10 anymore.
08:11Yeah, not far from it.
08:12Really?
08:13Because Shayla's my age, which makes her a kid too, and that makes you a dirtbag.
08:18Oh, and you know who else is my age?
08:20Taylor, you hypocrite.
08:21Yeah, okay, okay, okay, okay, I get it.
08:25I just, I just don't want things to get all screwed up.
08:28All right, come on, they're like our family, Belly.
08:30This affects, like, way more than just you.
08:33I know.
08:35But you don't get a say in who I date.
08:39I get to pick, and I pick Jeremiah.
08:44You're just gonna have to trust me.
08:51Yeah, baby.
09:07Here we go.
09:21Hey.
09:27Yo, what's up?
09:28You couldn't bother to tell me you were hooking up with my sister.
09:31She told you?
09:32No, I saw you guys kissing.
09:33You're not gonna beat me up, are you?
09:36Oh, I'm really thinking about it.
09:37Listen, Steven, I really like her.
09:39Dude, you like a lot of people.
09:40Have you seen me hooking up with any guy or girl this summer?
09:42Yes, dude, I saw you making up with that guy at Nicole's party.
09:45Okay, but that was, like, a month ago.
09:47Listen, Steven, I would never do anything to ever hurt her.
09:50I swear, I swear.
09:51Come on, it's Billy.
09:57Okay, well, you still should have told me.
10:00I should have.
10:01I'm sorry.
10:09God, just don't do stuff in front of me.
10:12I don't do stuff in front of me.
10:20I don't do stuff in front of me.
10:35Oh, I just fucked up my eyeliner.
10:37Does anyone have a razor I can borrow?
10:39Thank you, Angel.
10:41Oh, thank you.
10:45Daddy, your hair!
10:48God, I saved you a spot.
10:56Hey, you guys should really talk.
11:03Nicole, I'm really sorry.
11:05About what? Conrad?
11:08I'm over it. I'm here with somebody else.
11:11Can I just explain what happened?
11:18I've had a crush on Conrad for, like, my whole life.
11:21And he's always just seen me as his little sister.
11:26And then I thought that this summer maybe he could like me back.
11:31But the thing is, what he liked was that I liked him.
11:35You know, he never actually liked me.
11:38And I'm sorry. I was stupid enough to think that he ever could.
11:44It's not your fault Conrad's a fuckboy.
11:50But you're kind of a fuckgirl, too.
11:53Cam, Conrad, now Jeremiah.
11:56You're playing with a lot of hearts, Belly.
12:00Okay, maybe I was being a little fuckgirlish.
12:03But I swear to you, Nicole, I am completely over Conrad.
12:07Like, so, so over him.
12:09No one ever really gets over their first lap.
12:24Thanks, Stephen.
12:25Yeah, of course.
12:27My handsome date.
12:29Mom.
12:30Good evening.

12:44What, and ruin my makeup?
12:45No way.
12:47Just...
12:49Everything's gonna be different next year.
12:52Conrad's going off to college.
12:53Yeah.
12:55It may be the last summer we're all together.
13:00Just don't forget.

21:47There are always three people in our marriage, Laurel.

22:46I don't know.
22:49Is this thing on?
22:50She's been sleeping.
22:52I don't know.

25:16You guys killed it.
25:20Killed it.
25:21Hey, uh, thanks.
25:23I love you in white.
25:25Reminds me of the dress you wore to prom.
25:29Nice fit.
25:30Though I'm surprised she didn't make you wear matching tux.
25:33Uh, actually, that was the plan, but...
25:36Well, I couldn't afford it after our last game.
25:40Oh, I'm sorry.
25:41I didn't know it would put you out.
25:43Yeah.
25:44How would you know?
25:45I mean, you can have the money back.
25:49No worries.
25:50I mean, we didn't play for fun anyway.
25:51No, it's fine.
25:52You want it, you keep it.
25:54You know, it's burning.
25:55It really looks exciting.
25:56I just...
25:57I really want to thank you.
25:58Oh, thank you.
25:59Oh, thank you.
26:00You know, I've been invited to, um, keynote this book festival in Santa Barbara in October,
26:15and I was thinking maybe you could come with me.
26:21It's just my fall is really up in the air.
26:25Laurel?
26:27We need to talk about that.
26:32There's something I have to tell you.
26:35Shh, shh, shh.
26:37It's starting.
26:38Okay.
26:39Um, here we go.
26:41I don't know where Jeremiah is.
26:43He'll be here in a minute, I'm sure.
26:45Go, get ready.
26:46Okay.
26:47So why didn't you tell me you and Liam were there?
27:01Because we weren't.
27:02They took me to prom and then got all clingy and I wasn't down.
27:06Why are you being like this?
27:07Being like what?
27:08All weird and insecure.
27:10I wasn't like that about the whole Taylor thing.
27:12Yeah, but I don't know.
27:13I'm just...
27:14I mean, I don't know if you haven't noticed, but I don't exactly fit in here.
27:19Stephen.
27:20No, I grew up in the suburbs of Philly, all right?
27:23Not even that nice of a suburb.
27:24I drive a Honda Civic.
27:26I don't go to benefits or balls, whatever this is.
27:30I'm just...
27:33I'm nothing like him.
27:37And that's a good thing.
27:40You're here with me, not him.
27:45I chose you.
27:49Yeah, you...
27:51You did, didn't you?
27:53I think I love you.
27:58Well, duh.
28:08Hey, have you guys seen Jeremy?
28:10I think I saw him go outside.
28:12Where's Jeremiah?
28:13Connie.

28:16He was just here a second ago.
28:23This day .

35:56I'm so sorry.
36:26The night turned out like this.
36:30That's not how I wanted you to find out.
36:33Mom, you're going to do the trial, right?
36:39Uh, no, honey.
36:43I'm not.
36:45I can't.
36:48Chances are very slight.
36:51Non-existent, really, and...
36:54I just can't go through that again.
36:57It was too hard the first time.
37:00Mom, but you could try.
37:02You have to try.
37:05I just want to be me when I go.
37:09Does that make sense?
37:10No.
37:11No, this doesn't make sense.
37:12None of this makes any sense.
37:13I know.
37:13I know.
37:15I'm not good at this.
37:17Okay?
37:18Mommy's not good at this.
37:20I should have known that you knew.
37:31I just didn't want to believe it.
37:35Mom, if there's any chance, you have to.
37:38I mean, you have to.
37:39Come on, tell her, Conrad.
37:40Why aren't you saying anything?
37:44Mom, this is crazy.
37:45You have to try.
37:46You can't give up on us.
37:48Mom.
37:50Can't you just...
37:53Me?
37:53Can't you just try?
37:56For us, Mom.
37:58I need you too.
38:04Come here.
38:05Jesus Christ, I'm so blue all the time.
38:09And that's just how I feel.
38:13Always have.
38:16And I always mean you.
38:18Oh, my God.
38:19Okay, I know it's end times if you're cooking.
38:30Shut up.
38:33How'd it go with the boys?
38:36I told them I'd do the trial.
38:40I couldn't say no.
38:44I know it's gonna make things harder,
38:46but I don't care what the doctors say.
38:49It's going to work.
38:52You're magic.
38:56Since when do you believe in magic?
38:59I believe in you.
39:07All right, everybody down here, we still have to eat.
39:11There were times this summer when I felt like I didn't know my own heart.
39:20But one thing I do know for sure is that no matter what happens next,
39:25I will always come back to this place and these people.
39:30I can't believe she said yes.
39:45You did it. You changed her mind.
39:47Well, it wasn't me. It was Jer who did it.
39:51I'm sorry for being so shitty all summer.
40:00I mean, you were going through all this alone.
40:06I wish you had told me so you didn't have to.
40:09I wanted to.
40:11I missed that a couple of times.
40:19Son, we should go then.
40:21There's so many things I want to say to you.
40:23I don't. Not now.
40:25Why?
40:29Because you really, really, really need somebody right now,
40:31and I don't want to be the kind of person who takes advantage of that.
40:35I don't just need somebody.
40:40I need you.
40:43I don't want you to need me.
40:45I want you to want me.
40:51I do want you.
41:05I do want you to want me.
41:07I do want you to want me.
41:11Do want you to need me.
41:14When you're young, you'd just run.
41:17No, no.
41:18You're watching me.
41:28This love is good. This love is bad.
41:30This love is a life I've found in at all.
41:32In this moment, I realized if this can happen, maybe anything can.
42:02As the light has left you back to me.
42:32As the light has left you back to me.
43:02As the light has left you back to me.
43:32As the light has left you back to me.
44:02As the light has left you back to me.
44:11You
