Afterschool Page #4

- Yeah, I live

on the Upper West.

Would you want

to come back with me?

- Okay.

I mean,

if that's cool with you.

- Yeah.

No, no.

You can't go.

- I really just want

to be home for a day.

- Mm-hmm.

- Are you sure it'd be cool

with your dad?

- Yeah.

Why wouldn't it be?

- I don't know.

Thanks a lot, though.

[strained breathing]

- Can you play it again?

- Yeah.

- Who made this?

- It's not my camera.

- Yeah, looks like

a cell phone.

[strained breathing]

[screaming]

[crying]

[muffled screaming]

- If there's something that

I need to know, he does tell me.

It's nothing to worry about.

It's nothing to worry about,

okay?

If it was, I'd let you know.

You know that, don't you?

You know that.

I'd let you know immediately.

Don't worry.

I know how you're feeling.

Don't worry about it.

Just enjoy your beautiful car.

Drive him around in it.

- Do you like it?

- I adore it.

I adore it.

I'm green with envy.

Young man.

- I hope he's okay.

- Don't worry, okay?

- Seriously.

- Don't worry.

Enjoy yourself.

- His mother and I

would do anything...

- I understand.

All's well.

- Speak with you later,

all right?

- Why don't you just say

what's on your mind?

You're telling me that you don't

have any thought in your head.

- No.

- It's like a grapefruit?

- It's just-

I'm just-

Just wasn't even thinking

about anything...

important right then.

- I thought we-you know,

I thought we agreed

just to talk,

doesn't have to be important.

Tell me something.

Just want to know

what's on your mind,

what you're thinking about

right now.

- I mean, it's hard.

Like, what are you

thinking about right now?

- I'm thinking about...

- See, it's sort of

just hard to tell sometimes.

I don't know.

- Just tell me something,

anything.

Boom.

What's the first thing

that comes to your mind?

Rob.

Just say anything.

Say anything.

- My skin's peeling.

It's all dry in certain parts

and coming off.

Happy?

- Yeah.

Yeah, I like it when you tell me

what you're thinking.

I feel like there's a lot

you want to say,

but you're not saying it.

- Sorry.

- Don't apologize to me

about it.

Did I make you upset?

- No.

- You know,

I'm not judging you.

None of this leaves the room.

What do you think

about your mom?

Do you know

that she's got crabs so big,

I ride them to work?

- What?

- Rob, come on, man.

When somebody makes fun

of your mother,

you got to come back

quicker than that, right?

Right?

- Uh...

Your mom gets f***ed for cash.

- Okay.

Okay, fair enough.

All right.

See, that was easy.

You just said

what's on your mind.

- I thought that

I wanted to be like them.

They're the ideal senior girls.

They were what everybody...

looked up to.

- Hey, guys.

Hello.

We got new security checks.

I'm gonna check your bags.

- What's all that about?

- Not really sure.

But I'm gonna need you

to step up here,

and if you could stay

down there, please.

Just put your bag

on the table.

- There's nothing in there,

I can assure you of that.

- Nothing in here?

I'm gonna take some stuff out

and make sure

you're not bringing anything

into the school, all right?

- You're lucky

you didn't have anything.

- Yeah, Burke told my dad

that they might do

something like this.

I just brought some weed,

and a couple bottles of vodka.

- What happened last night

is just the first

of many necessary steps

in trying to make this

a safer place for everyone.

The majority agree

that the steps

we are starting to take

are the right ones.

First, you will not be allowed

unlimited Saturdays back home.

Random room searches

and drug tests are allowed,

and the first series of these

will be starting this week.

Anyone in possession

of alcohol or drugs

besides those given to you

through the nurse

will be expelled.

Anyone caught smoking will have

a three-day suspension.

So-everyone settle.

Settle.

We have lost Anne and Mary,

but if there is nothing else,

we can only hope

that this experience

prevents this tragedy

from befalling others.

And anyone

who disrespects these rules

is disrespecting them.

Is that clear with you guys?

All that we're asking of you

is that you uphold

the values of Bryton.

Now, I believe in the students

of this school,

and I really believe that

you're inherently good kids.

Now, we will do everything

in our power

to ensure

that is always the case.

Okay, as of last night,

several of our school's students

have been either expelled

or suspended indefinitely.

Now, Mr. Ullman will be reading

a list of their names.

It is important to remember

that these students,

some of whom are

your friends and roommates,

did not respect this school,

themselves, or you.

Mr. Ullman.

- Charles Wentworth,

Claire Goreman,

Trevor Stuart.

- I think he's really upset.

I'm gonna go talk to him.

- We have to film Burke.

[metallic clang]

- Hey!

Cool it, guys.

Get over here.

Just stay right here.

Just go.

- What's going on?

- I thought you were asleep,

didn't want to wake you.

- Where are you going?

- Going to see Mr. Virgil.

Thought it'd be a good idea.

- Is the light okay in here?

- Yeah, I think it's okay.

- Yeah.

I'm very excited to see

what you guys have put together.

Mr. Wiseman says everyone's

been working really hard

on this project,

especially you and Amy.

I'm proud of you, Robert.

Some people would have

lost their cool

after seeing what you saw.

Has this video

been helpful to do?

- Yeah, I think it's been nice.

I'm-I'm set,

so we can start.

- Should we wait for Amy?

- No, I don't think

she's coming.

- All right, then.

Give me a second.

- Rob?

- Yeah, f*** me.

- Well...

I mean, I used to

really like videos,

but I think I might be

getting tired of them.

- You mean like movies?

- No, just like short clips.

- You mean like

kids' video blogs?

- No, I think

those are kind of phony.

No, just like little-

little clips of things

that seem real.

Usually just like a-

like a cat or a baby

doing something funny or-

or something violent.

Like, there's this one

I really like

where it's, like, a mother

and her six babies,

and she's got like septuplets

or whatever you call it,

and they're all just,

like, laying around her,

and the dad,

who's filming,

just keeps making this noise

from behind the camera,

and whenever he makes the noise,

they all just giggle,

and they all stop giggling

at the same time.

- Do you like porn?

You can tell me.

- Yeah.

- No real moments in porn,

I can tell you that.

- Yeah, I know, but...

there are these ones

that I watch.

It's like this guy

who never shows his face

and he'll, like, grab the girls

and, like,

talk real hard with them.

I don't know, he just gets them,

like, pretty scared

and not fake.

- Has doing the video

for the girls been good for you?

I mean, I know

you don't want to talk

about the twins, Rob, but...

What's that?

Is there something

you want to say?

- It's all my fault.
