Graduation Page #4

you two are the cutest

couple on the dance floor?

I take that back.

Hi, this is Suzy.

She graduated

a year before us.

Hi.

Hi. I work

for your dad now.

Right.

Yeah.

I'm Tom Jackson.

I wouldn't know my hole

from a head in the ground.

All right.

- Let's dance.

- Let's.

He's so dead.

Okay, let's just talk

about something else.

Yeah, what did

"sure" mean?

It means okay,

okay?

No.

Does Jackson got you

giving me that look too?

What look?

That look.

The look that says

I think you're an idiot.

# trying to get

the boom-boom-boom #

# looking

for the boom-boom-boom #

# trying to get it, everybody

came looking for something #

# boom-boom-boom... #

Hi.

Hi.

- Your friends...

- Yeah.

Yeah, they don't really

seem like your type.

No offense.

Yeah.

We grew up together.

Yeah, I have friends

like that too.

But, you know,

all of a sudden

We just stopped

hanging out.

What happened?

Graduation.

# why did you not

come to me? #

# why did you not

come to me? #

# why did you not

come to me? #

# I am never

brave enough... #

Jackson.

Polly.

You go to north hills?

Mm-hmm,

all four years.

Before that, St. Pat's?

Parsons,

"K" through eighth.

Get out.

So you're saying we've gone

to school together for 13 years

And we've never--

Never once danced.

Can I ask you

a personal question?

Try me.

What did you get

on your S.A.T.?

I don't remember.

- Well, try.

- I don't know.

Don't bullshit me.

You missed a perfect score

by 20 points.

- You looked at my score?

- You can yell at me when I'm finished.

I've had to slave to do what

you can do in your sleep.

- If you just tried...

- You're smarter than you think.

This isn't about me.

Why try if I don't

know what I want?

I don't get you.

Isn't that why you're

dancing with me?

Well, I'll take it

from here, thanks.

- No, just let me have this--

- No, now.

Good evening,

North Hillers.

It is my pleasure

To present your Booster

Club President Mrs. Poole.

You kids look like

you're having fun.

Now I am here to announce

this year's Valedictorian.

Polly Ann Deeley!

How hard could it be

to fail one test, Polly?

- You should know, runner up.

- Shut up, Romeo, I'll get to you next.

It's not my fault.

It was an essay test.

- I wrote a bad essay.

- Stop the goddamn presses.

It's okay, all right?

The vault opens at 8:45.

I speak at 9:
00. I just have

to be there when they call me.

We put our asses

on the line for this

and now you're screwing

it up. Are you happy?

Oh my god. You have

been against this

from the start.

I vote it's okay.

It'll be tight.

It's possible.

Me?

I'm with Jackson.

Okay, so robbery is now a

democratic thing, is that it?

Well, then I vote

you can bite me.

Hey, you know what?

If you don't wanna go,

I really don't want

you there.

- Can we just go inside?

- No no no no.

I vote we stay here now 'cause I'd

like to hear about your girlfriend.

Suzy is not up

for discussion.

That's funny, because she's

between us and the money,

So that pretty much

makes her a hot topic.

You're staying home!

- Remember?

- Screw you.

Carl, I've been looking

all over for you.

Am I interrupting

something?

No.

As a matter of fact,

We were just talking about jumping

off of a bridge, weren't we, Carl?

So when do I jump?

After us.

I want...

Carl's mom

to get better.

I wanna help Mrs. J.

Pull through, Mrs. J.

Mom.

I want the stooges

to tour again!

# looking back right now

I should have realized #

# I should have

left you all behind #

# to go on

to claim the prize #

# I wish I'd known then

what I know now #

# just like

everybody does #

# when they're

left wondering #

# why what they are

and what they was #

# then I take

a closer look #

# at where I am

right now #

# with all I've done,

what I've become #

# is something anyhow #

# and if there's anything

I missed out on #

# there's something else

that's surely bound #

# to come around #

# just what the world

is waiting for #

# so don't let it #

# get you down #

# get up off the ground

and move on #

# 'cause yesterday

has been gone for a while #

# it's a million

miles away #

# from where

you are today #

# where you

are today... #

Carl?

Sh*t! Damn it!

# 'cause yesterday

has been gone for a while #

# it's a million... #

# from where

you are today #

# where you

are today #

Sh*t, god damn it!

Ready?

All right, camera's out.

Alarm's off.

All right, five minutes.

We're making good time.

Okay, remember you're

counter, I'm clockwise.

Nice watch.

Graduation present.

Okay, 8:
45 in

Three...

Two, one.

Turn it.

You didn't tell us there

was a gate behind this.

It, uh...

It wasn't here

last summer.

How thick do you

think that bolt is?

Quarter of an inch.

That's nothing

a blowtorch can't handle.

Okay, I'm on it.

Chauncey, give Carl

your keys.

- Give me the keys, man.

- Yeah.

Fine.

Look, I don't care if you have

to give the Gettysburg Address.

Just don't let them hand

out diplomas without us.

Wait wait

wait wait.

Are you sure

about this?

No.

In a moment,

we will hand out diplomas.

But first,

it is my pleasure

to introduce

our Valedictorian--

Polly Ann Deeley.

All right, whoo!

Thank you.

Good morning,

and whew!

Welcome to the big day.

Chauncey,

you're wasting your time.

You know, it's bad enough

I gotta lose her to you,

But now you got her giving

me that look, you know?

- No, you're wrong.

- I saw you two...

Just now.

It's Carl.

- Chauncey, I don't--

- Just forget about it.

Go answer the door.

Oh, hello.

Hello, you there?

Hello.

Carl get the torch?

It's not Carl.

Oh, sh*t!

What are we gonna do,

huh?

I don't think

we have a choice.

Yeah, we gotta go out

the back door.

- No no.

- What?

We have to open

the bank.

Chauncey,

she saw me.

You're nuts.

- Morning, ma'am.

- Mm-hmm.

I'll be right

with you.

Shh.

And so to all my classmates,

I wish you good luck

And a great life.

Just one more thing--

I just wanted

to say that...

You know,

we're all these-- these--

We're all these diamonds

in the rough.

I need $400 in savings

and the rest in checking.

And I need $75 back

in cash.

- Is everything okay?

- Fine.

This'll just

take me a minute.

Okay, that's $20,

$40, $60,

$70 and $75.

Here you go.

Don't I need

a receipt?

Have a good day.

How'd you do that?

Hey, did that lady--

whoa!

God damn it!

Why do you have

a gun, man?

Checking or savings,

Carl?

Cash back. I know,

you need a loan!

What?

And, um...

Oh, god.

You know-- you know,

The future is wide open,

guys, and...

Chauncey, out!

Yeah, I did it.

Carl.

Oh, god damn it.

Damn it!

Thought you said you were

gonna take care of her, Carl.

You were supposed

to take care of me?

It's not what you think.

F*** you.

Tie her up.

Look, Chaunce, let's

just talk about it, okay?

Let's talk about the fact that I

told you guys this would happen.

Hey! What?

Did I not tell you? And

nobody listened to me.
