Endless Love
There was a girl.
A beautiful girl
surrounded by people.
Yet utterly alone.
Her brother, Chris,
died sophomore year.
She spent all of her time
secluded with her family,
or in the comfort of books.
I watched her for
all of high school,
waiting for that perfect
moment to talk to her,
but that moment never came.
I watched as people
gradually forgot about her.
And she seemed content
to disappear.
But not to me.
And although she didn't know it,
I saw the possibility of us.
Jade Butterfield. Mmm.
Four years, and you
never talked to her.
Well, in my defense, no one did.
There is a reason for that.
She's an ice queen.
Girl can't be real.
You don't think she's real?
"You don't think..."
Girl looks like that, has that much
dough, can't be real, all right?
I know these things.
Ah, it's stupid, I know.
No, it's not.
Come on. Dad wants a photo
of the happy family.
taking a picture of?
Come on.
Jade, come take a picture.
- Me?
- Yeah, you.
Okay.
Thank you so much.
Will you take two?
Just to be safe.
Okay.
- There.
- Thank you.
- Congrats, honey.
- Thanks.
That one's going online.
Yeah.
I didn't expect to
be in the picture.
Take a seat. Come on.
Mom and Dad's happy
family photo can wait.
Promise me you won't do in
college what you did here.
Chris was an amazing brother,
and we all miss him,
but you can't stop living.
He'd want us to live
more, not less.
How's anyone ever gonna know how
ridiculous and funny you are
if all you ever do is hang
out with Mom and Dad?
- I don't just hang out with Mom and Dad.
- Oh, really?
How many kids signed this?
And, uh, you can't
include teachers.
Don't.
Thanks, Dad.
You're welcome, son.
I'm proud of you.
Thank you. It means a lot.
Maybe you should buy
a blowtorch, huh?
- To melt the ice off your girl.
- Mace...
- Your son's got a crush.
- No, I don't.
- Does he?
- No, I don't.
- Is she here?
- Yeah.
Which one is it?
- Jade Butterfield. Mmm-hmm.
- That blonde over there?
- Don't you dare. No.
- Hey, Jade!
Hey, Jade!
Jade!
Jade, I want you to meet my son!
- Come on! Come on!
- The greatest kid here!
Hey, you guys. Come on, man!
Whoo-hoo. My son, the
high school graduate!
Oh, wow. Mr. Schwartz,
thank you. This is too much.
Mrs. Schwartz. You guys take
care now, all right? Okay.
Ah.
Balling!
Dude, you going to
Jenny's Saturday night?
Really? Again?
- Come on.
- Don't do this.
Do you have any idea how your
constant break-ups affect my life?
I'm so sorry.
The energy, man, it gets all
awkward and sh*t, all right?
Just get back together
with her so I can
go back to the life
I'm accustomed to.
Can you act like a
respectable human being?
You're the first
face the guests see.
And yet they keep coming back.
Welcome to the Inn.
How are you doing?
Can you just, uh,
give me a nice spot?
Absolutely. Will do, sir.
Take care.
You're Jade Butterfield.
We go to school... I mean,
we went to school together.
David, right?
Yeah.
Hey, Jade.
I should go.
Okay.
Would you sign this?
Sure.
Jade Butterfield
Come back to me
I'm David and I love you
My wife will have a mixed salad
to start and your pasta special.
My daughter's gonna have the
steak, medium, and soup to start.
Good?
- Yeah.
- And for you?
I think I can handle this myself.
I'm gonna go for the burger and
fries. Medium rare, please.
And a Crown and Coke. Better
make it a double, actually.
You're here from ASU
for two short months.
Let's just try and
keep it pleasant.
That's why I got the double, Dad.
Um...
We've been going back and forth over
what to get you for graduation.
We know we haven't done very
well with the holidays and so on
and that's not been
fair to you or Keith.
I don't need anything.
We could go shopping. We could
get a new wardrobe for Brown.
Yeah, you should
think of something,
or else you'll end up
with a photo of this guy.
There is one thing.
What? Anything.
- A party.
- A party? Wow.
Out of all the things
you could ask for?
Well, I was looking at all
the kids at school today
and high school's where you're supposed
to make friends you'll keep forever.
I don't know any of them.
They don't know me.
A party. I think that
that is a great idea.
Well...
Sure.
Yeah, sure. Okay.
It's been a long time since
we've celebrated anything.
Thank you very much, Mr. Abbey.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Do you want me to get your car?
No. Um...
I'm having a graduation party.
- I'm inviting the entire class.
- Really?
Is it that hard to believe?
Uh, no. I've just
never seen you out.
I didn't know that you, uh...
Mingled with the masses.
I just spent the last
four years of high school
trying to get into another
four years of college.
- You don't have to come.
- No, I want to.
I mean, we want to.
- We wanna come.
- We wanna come.
Could you just give me one second?
- Welcome.
- Welcome to the Inn.
Keep it close. Don't park me in.
Oh, sure, no...
No, he didn't. Hey, man.
Now, I'll take them, but you gotta
hand them to me, all right?
I don't pick up sh*t off the floor.
It's time to learn.
Hey. Hey. Hey.
You boys best earn your
three minutes in my car.
- Yeah, thanks, man.
- "Boys"?
Give me the keys. Come on.
Give me the keys.
I guess we should definitely earn
our three minutes, don't you think?
I mean, why?
- Are you coming?
- You're stealing his car?
- Whoa.
- I mean, I wouldn't say "stealing."
Technically, borrowing.
What about your job?
Jade, get in the car.
Jade, get in the car.
What?
Get in the car.
- What is she doing?
- I don't know. Come on!
Get in the car!
Jade Butterfield, get in
the car this instant.
Whoo-hoo!
Whoo!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Where the hell have you been?
We've got guests freaking out.
You stole my car.
Sorry. We just wanted to make
sure it wasn't parked in.
You ate Fatburger in my Maserati.
It's over. You're done, mister.
That's actually my fault.
You should blame me.
All right, I want him fired.
- Now.
- No, it was my...
- I want him fired, too.
- It was my fault!
- Him and him fired, and I'm having your job.
- I ate Fatburger!
It was me. It was me. I ate it.
No. It was me.
I ate the Fatburger.
- Oh, is this a joke to you?
- No, I mean...
You trying to impress your hot
little girlfriend over there?
Now, watch what you're saying.
Everyone, cool down.
Why don't we go inside?
It's gonna take a lot
more than stealing
my car to get her
to spread her legs.
Oh, sh*t. Damn!
- That was self-defense.
- Get out of here, David! Now!
- What was that?
- That kid, he hit me!
Jade. Are you all right?
I swear to God, I'll sue.
That was self-defense.
God, I'll sue him.
I'll sue him, I'll sue you. I'll sue
everybody! I'll sue this whole place!
He's out of here, sir.
Is my Fatburger evidence?
'Cause I'd like to
finish eating it.
- Just get out of here, Mace.
- All right, yep.
