No, they set me up.

'You didn't wanna go,

you should have just said so.'

I've, I, that..

I'll be honest. I'm

not handling this well.

There's only one way

to turn this day around.

Chloe.

So, I take it

you want me to come up?

Alright, well, cool, well, uh..

You know, text me

where to meet you.

Alright, I'll see you in a few.

Play cool, play cool.

Alright.

This is the best

decision I've ever made.

'Drive time

will be eight hours four minutes.'

Oh, damn.

Never enough

never enough no

Chloe messaged

me out of the blue

like six months ago.

She's like a tornado

inside a hurricane.

But in the best way possible.

There's a fever

rising every time

If I don't kill myself on

the way, this will be amazing.

I wonder how do you feel

To be your brother

Believe me

I was walking

on a thin thin line

I wonder

I wondered

about the fading lights

What luck everyone

We'll always stand together

Afraid of falling down

Never enough never enough

Never enough no

Never enough

never enough no

Never enough no

You know you can step

on the gas pedal.

What a chuchu.

Try to clear your head

'Cause you feel like

you're dead inside don't you?

You want it to feel

like every time

But you found yourself

I should be worried,

but what are they gonna do?

We don't even have a basement

they can lock me in.

As long as they don't check

the tracker, I'll be fine.

We'll watch the sun together

Afraid of falling down

Never enough never enough

never enough no

Never enough never enough

never enough no

You'd think I never

left the house alone before.

Alright, I haven't.

- Whoa!

- Relax, relax, relax.

Why are you in my car?

Great question.

Uh, this is my hotel.

Hot.. Oh, oh, oh, oh.

I, I'm, yeah, I'm sorry, um..

I just crashed last night.

No, I noticed. I was just tryin'

to, like, figure out, like

what's so good about, you know,

the car, better than my hotel.

Oh, don't get me wrong. This is

a very, very, very nice car.

That's kinda playing it.

But shitty hotel, right?

I mean,

no bathroom for starters.

No continental breakfast

for you.

But we have free electricity

for you to just plug in. Right?

Oh, oh, oh, yeah. Um, I'm sorry

about that, I can, um..

I got a, I got a card

I can pitch in.

But you-you-you-you're missing

the point entirely.

- There's a point?

- I'll tell you what.

You unplug your spaceship,

get off my lot.

And I'll consider not calling

the cops. How about that?

Oh, a 100 percent.

Um, yeah, but, now, yeah, now.

Yeah, I'll do that now.

I'll do that.

Yeah.

Oh!

Aren't you a little young to be

driving a car like this?

Uh, I was born early, so,

I'm a little small for my age.

That's a lovely story you have.

Very compelling.

You got that? You good? Yeah.

Buckle up now.

Thank you.

- Have a great day.

- Whatever.

Please don't call the cops,

please don't call the cops.

Please don't call the cops.

Scottie, what's up, man?

Listen, I'm afraid

I got a criminal to report.

Kid stole a Tesla.

Listen, man. I didn't say

he was bright, okay?

- Sean!

- Hi!

- Hi!

- Oh, my God! You made it.

- Hey! Yeah.

- You made it.

She's real and slightly violent

and I definitely love her.

- Oh my god, you made it!

- Yeah.

I almost had a seizure

when you sent me that text.

I mean, seriously,

you just took your dad's car?

Epitome of epicness, dude.

I guess.

Oh, you have

to tell me everything.

Let's go, and you can go on

with the crazy details.

Okay.

All I have to do

is not mess this up.

Oh, hi.

Uh, can I get

the Santa Cruz Gumbo

with extra bacon please?

'Sure, but

it'll cost another buck.'

It's totally worth it.

And for you, sir?

Oh, um, does the Santa Cruz

Scramble have what in it?

It comes with toast.

'Oh, but the toaster is broken,

so. it'll just be bread.'

Uh, okay, cool, well,

I will have that

with no bread and OJ, please.

Anything else? No? Super!

What was that all about,

like, the whole gluten thing?

Uh, nothing,

it's just this crazy thing.

Okay, Mr. Mysterious.

Just can't eat meat and stuff.

You get like

a stomachache or something?

Honestly, it's to keep the alien

in my stomach from growing.

Uh, okay, but

I really do wanna know.

I'll tell you later.

I thought you said

you told me everything.

Well, if I tell you

all my secrets

then what are we

gonna talk about?

Plenty. Like I know

all about your diets.

I am vegan.

I no longer

know what's happening.

I'm just going to laugh a lot,

and hope I can figure it out.

What I mean is that my parents

are vegan, so I'm vegan at home.

But otherwise I eat what I want.

My grandma says it's my parents'

way of, like, dominating

over me because of

their, like, crippling fear

of parental inadequacy.

- Wait, what?

- It's complicated.

She has to like me, right?

I just wish

I was more interesting.

So, I told my friends about you.

I told my friends about you.

Oh, my God, they were so excited

when I told them

that you were coming up.

I mean, not excited as

I was, of course, because

that would be tough to be.

So, how long can

you hang out today?

All day,

we can go crazy and wild

and totally unsupervised.

We can even camp out

at the beach overnight.

What about your parents?

Mm, I don't care about them.

It's funny. He-he.

Hi, there.

Want something to chew?

I'm, I'm sorry. Um,

can I just say something?

Yeah, go for it.

I have never met

a girl like you before.

That's, that's sweet, Sean.

But, I mean,

I-i-it's obvious, right?

Like, I would've never have done

this for anyone else.

But the other girls

are sad though, right?

No. No, Chloe,

there are no other girls.

Like, honestly,

you are all I think about.

- Uh, check, check, please?

- Wait, what just happened?

Uh.

Wait, did I say something?

Hey, hey, hey.

Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

it's just, you know.

Restaurants make me like fidgety

'cause it's so small.

Uh, so, we're good?

- Please say we're good.

- We're more than good.

We're great.

Let's go have

our amazing day, okay?

Okay! For a second,

I-I thought you didn't like me.

- I was just like..

- Of course, I like you.

Yeah, I like you too.

I mean..

When I say I like you

I like you as a friend,

and, like, a buddy.

Oh!

- God, I'm an idiot.

- No, no, you're not an idiot.

It's, it's, I mean,

not that I wouldn't

date you under

totally different circumstances

but I haven't been honest.

Oh, it's just cool,

it's cool, you know.

Is it, is it the gluten thing?

No, why would it be

the gluten thing?

- So, boyfriend maybe like..

- No, no, it's not a boyfriend.

Are you into chicks?

It's okay. Lesbian?

No, I don't have a girlfriend.

Sean, can you just listen?

What?

I really thought you might have

figured it out by now.

Figured it out?

We look so much alike.

Like... I could be your sister.

Yeah, except,

I don't have a sister, so.

That you know of.

Right. Because I'm adopted.

But we have the same birthday,

and we're the same age, so?
