- Okay.

- 3-0-9-4.

- I got it.

- 7.

- Wait a second. 7?

You said this was

a four-digit code.

If it's five

numbers, it means it's gonna be

a lot more than 24 possibilities.

- How many's a lot?

120?

And if we enter

the wrong code,

we have to wait three

minutes before trying again.

- This is great.

- We're wasting time.

- Just keep score, all right?

- Yeah.

So let's try it.

- 30947.

- 947.

Okay, didn't work.

Okay...

We've done the 7s

already, Chauncey.

Oh, no no no.

Don't-- don't-- don't look

at me like that right now.

- Hey, we get it yet?

- No. Like what, Chauncey?

- How was I looking?

- Like I'm an idiot. Just--

- Try another code or something.

- We have to wait.

Let's try to figure out

the tellers and the guard.

Well, Leroy won't

be a problem.

I can take care

of one of the tellers.

Suzy-- we were in students

of anarchy together.

We hit it off

a couple of times.

Wait a second. You've

been in the bank twice.

- Did she see you?

- Back off.

No no no no,

it matters, Carl.

Did she see you?

Sort of.

Okay, from now on, you gotta stay

as far away from her as possible.

Fine.

- Carl!

- Okay!

All right, good,

it's settled.

Just let's get back

to the list.

You're not even looking

at the list, Chauncey.

Your list doesn't

make any sense.

Listen, we've done the 3s,

Okay, so it has to start

with 0.

In fact, it's...

Hey!

How you feeling, Mom?

Just tired.

The insurance

is being

really great, okay?

So don't worry. We're

gonna get you all fixed up.

Good.

# I'm just a memory

in your heart #

# I'm just

a terrifying thing #

# in the memories

of the people #

# all the people

you betrayed #

# and the people

that you failed #

# because you were not

brave enough #

# or you panicked

and you ran #

# or you were not

brave enough #

# and it's funny

how it breaks... #

- Hey.

- Hey.

- You missed fifth hour.

- I was just doing a little research

for the...

You mind

if I ask you

a stupid question?

- Shoot.

You didn't think twice

about any of this.

Why not?

Mrs. J.

Same as all of us.

- Uh, yeah.

- I need a good name.

- For what?

- Any name.

I don't know.

What about

my old cat?

The great Manfredi?

- It's perfect.

- Okay.

Come in.

- Hey, Polly.

- Hey.

I wanted to give you

a little something.

It's always brought me

nothing but the best.

I wanted you

to have it.

I love you very much.

Can't tell you how

proud I am of you.

Thank you.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

Yeah, I'm great.

Hello.

- I need you to sign and date these.

- What are they?

They say you accept the trust left to

you by your late great-uncle Manfredi.

I don't have

a great-uncle Manfredi.

You do now.

Yo, Seniors, lunchtime!

Oh, I-- sorry.

- The front door was open.

- That's fine.

Chauncey's running late,

so I thought I'd drop by.

- Want some turkey loaf?

- I think I'll pass.

- This is amazing.

- Yeah, it's cool, huh?

They're blueprints

of the bank

from when it used

to be the fire station.

I tried to mark everything

we need to know.

You see this?

It's in the station's blueprints,

but it's not in the bank's.

It's a drainpipe.

It drips all the way

to the lake.

It's still there?

And a million other

secrets like it,

Just little wrinkles

in the building.

See, there's a crawlspace

behind your dad's office.

It was used

for storing hoses.

I used to play in it

all the time.

- You okay?

- Yeah, I just-- my--

my dad, he's--

he's sleeping

with Barbara.

It's fine.

Oh, god.

Never mind.

I shouldn't have told you.

I read somewhere that people who

cry a lot live five years longer

than people who don't.

What?

I get Chauncey

and Carl.

I get most people,

But...

I don't get you.

I don't really

get me, either.

Wish I did.

Then you wouldn't

be so interesting.

Who you taking

to prom?

Carl.

Yeah, we haven't figured out

who's gonna wear the dress yet.

Why?

Just wondering

who the lucky girl was.

All the lucky girls

are taken.

I should go.

Hey hey. Hope you

weren't waiting too long.

- What were you doing at Jackson's house?

- I was waiting for you.

- Oh, is that it?

- No, we had hot sex on his desk.

Yeah, wouldn't doubt it, the

way you've been looking at him.

I didn't mean that,

okay?

Just ever since you got

into Harvard,

It's like you've

already left.

- There's a lot going on, Chauncey.

- Yeah, I know.

- I know.

- Hey.

Come here.

Let's go, next three.

You want me

to do what?

You have to bomb

the biology final.

Look look,

I did the math.

You're beating Jillian

for valedictorian.

What? I am?

Oh my god.

Oh my god!

No no no no no,

If you're

valedictorian,

You have to

give a speech, okay?

We're not gonna be there for

the beginning of the show.

But it's my best subject. If

I fail, people are gonna think

that I cheated.

- No, they're gonna think that

You spent way too much

time with Chauncey.

Next three!

Fine fine, I'll do it.

Whatever.

- It's just a test.

- No, nothing is just a test.

Dear Leroy,

as a token of appreciation

For your loyal service, I've

enclosed a little something

- that you might enjoy.

- Graceland!

I know, it's short notice, but

I'm also giving you Monday off.

- Paid.

- Right.

- So enjoy.

- And...

give

my regards to the King.

- Respectfully--

- Oh, and please don't thank me.

"Respectfully yours,

Dean Deeley."

Guess who's

going to Graceland?

Leroy's

going to Graceland!

Thank you.

- Suzy:
- Where are we?

- Carl:
- Shh, be careful.

You're so gonna get us

in trouble.

Wait wait wait.

I swear,

if I sprain my ankle...

Straight,

just go straight.

- Okay, right--

- Carl.

I'll be right back,

okay? Don't move.

Don't take

the blindfold off.

Holy sh*t, Carl,

You're a bad boy.

# the passenger #

# he rides

and he rides #

# he looks through

his window #

# what does he see? #

# he sees a sign... #

I hope you like

Frito chili casserole.

I used tofu crumble--

# this is the winding

ocean drive #

# and everything

was made... #

What?

What's the matter?

You just kissed me.

Yeah, I did.

You want me

to do it again?

Mr. Jackson,

Am I to assume you

finished my final

in half an hour?

Yes, Mr. Ryerson.

# all right #

# oh-oh-oh-oh,

babyface #

# all right #

# give in

to temptation #

# I've been dreaming

about you, yeah #

# only you #

# make me feel good... #

Hi, Mom.

Yeah, I got this out

of Dad's closet.

I hope you don't mind.

Oh, Jesus, Mom,

What are they giving you?

I forget.

This is--

I wanted you

to meet somebody.

This is my friend Suzy.

So beautiful.

Thank you.

Give me one second.

Two more days, Mom.

I've been thinking about

what you said.

About Thanksgiving break,

winter break,

spring break, summer.

Did you really

mean that?

Sure.

- You okay?

- Me?

Yeah, your hand's

a little clammy.

I should warn you,

My friends may freak.

And it's--

It's just because they're

not used to me dating, so...

- Okay. Let's go.

- Okay.

May I just say
