It's another day

in paradise.

Ain't this

the life?

Yo!

Dude!

Why you

filming for?

Do you know how much

this thing costs?

I don't like

to be filmed.

What?

Hey, that was

pretty sick.

How come I've never

seen you around?

I'm around, I just don't

like the park too much.

Just don't film

me anymore, okay?

You don't want

a video?

Nope.

Dude, if you

had a video,

people could check

out your mad skills.

I could hook

you up.

The number one skate

video on YouTube, mine.

Wow.

That's

awesome.

Hey, think

about it.

Hosoi, hey. man,

what'; up?

So, you know

that kid?

Nah, I just,

I just met him.

That kid is

really good.

Yeah, he

rips it up.

Yeah.

Alright, man,

take it easy.

See you around,

man.

What's up,

Zach?

What's gain'

on, man?

How you

doing?

Good.

Check it out, your

friend's back.

Oh.

Hey, you want

to have some fun?

Let's

do it.

Yeah, little

bro.

What's for lunch,

old man?

Food is

a blessing.

Whatever.

Ha-ha-ha!

Nice.

I forgive

you.

Save

it.

Later.

We all need

forgiveness.

Thank

you.

I'm

Ralf.

Mom?

Food in

the oven.

Love,

Mom.

Yes, yes, this

is Bethany Jones.

Well, well,

okay, yes.

Can you just tell

me over the phone?

Thank

you.

God.

Jasmine?

Yes.

Delivery for

Jack Sanders.

Thank

you.

Where's

Stupack?

Stupack?

He's not

here.

What do you mean

he's not here?

He had a family

emergency.

Why wasn't

I told?

He said he'd

be back shortly.

Who exactly is it that

signs your check?

You,

sir.

Yeah, that'd

be me.

How long ago

did he leave?

Maybe two

hours ago.

Get him on

the phone.

Tell him I need

him in my office

in thirty

minutes or...

Just, just my office,

thirty minutes.

Mr. Stupack, Mr. Sanders

needs you back

in the office

immediately.

What?

Oh,

Bill.

So happy you

could join us.

Come

on in.

Shut

the door.

I'm really sorry

about that.

My wife had an accident

on the floor--

Tell me, what,

what is this?

That is the Childer's

building.

Uh, I pulled all

the permits last week.

You

did?

Uh-huh.

So, tell me what does,

what does that read?

Uh, quarter

inch.

Yeah, and how

about that?

What does

that read?

Half

inch.

You proofed

these plans?

Yes, I don't

know how this--

I'm not interested

in how this happened.

What I'm interested

in is happy clients.

I will get on

it right away.

Yes, you

will.

Now, the city expects

corrected plans

no later then

nine o'clock.

Tomorrow morning,

Jack, that's--

That's what,

Bill?

That's

what?

Unreasonable?

Impossible?

Which one is

it, Bill?

It's

neither.

I'm sorry, I will get

on it right away.

Bill!

You might want to take

these with you.

Caleb.

Caleb!

Caleb!

Caleb!

Caleb!

What?

Do you think you

could hear it?

I'm surprised

the neighbors

haven't

complained.

What?

Just wanted to talk

to you for a minute.

Well, I'm

busy.

You're too busy

for your own momma?

Please tell me

you didn't eat

a whole bag of chips

for dinner.

Okay,

I won't.

Did you hear back

from any of those

art schools

yet?

Nope.

What's

that?

Can

I see?

No, it's

nothing.

Come on,

let me see.

Mom,

stop.

Oh,

why?

You used to always

let me see.

What is with

you, huh?

It's not, it's

not finished.

I'm not going to show

you if it's not finished.

You're so talented

just like your...

$top

Oh, honey,

I know you,

you love

to skate.

I know.

I just wish you would

invest your time

into something that could

offer you a future, you know?

Something more

respectful.

Respectful?

You gotta

be kidding me.

What does

that mean?

Mom, skating is

my future, okay?

It's what's gonna take

me away from this place,

and when I go, I'm not,

I'm not coming back, Mom.

Is that what

you think?

No, no, that's

what I know.

I hate this

place, okay?

It sucks.

What's with

the attitude, huh?

I'm just trying

to talk to you.

Now you

wanna talk?

Mom, you're

never home.

I'm never home

because I'm out

working two jobs

to try to pay the rent

for this stupid place

that I barely can afford

and put food

on the table.

I mean, where do you

think this skateboard

came from,

huh?

You can go out

and get a job.

Why don't you try

getting a job?

Help

out.

Whatever.

Whatever.

Whatever,

okay.

Look, I am doing

the best I can.

Yeah,

well--

Yeah, well,

what, huh?

You think l wanted

to lose the house?

Is that what

you think?

The bills were

filling up.

It's not

my fault!

Your, your booze

bill, Mom?

Is that what was

pilling up?

What did

you say?

You don't think

I notice?

What?

You're probably why

I don't have a father.

What?

What?

Hey, not fair,

uh-uh.

Look, I know

things

have been really

hard lately

and it's been hard

for you to make friends,

but you will make

friends, you will,

and things will

get better,

I promise

you.

You and I are

all we have.

So, can't

we just...

Please, just let's

just cut each other

a little

slack.

Can we just

do that?

Because it's really

hard to be your mother

and your

father.

Well, maybe you

should stop trying.

Oh,

that's...

Something.

What's happening

to us?

You got

cash, man?

Please, God, take

care of him.

Hey.

honey

Home and it's

still light out.

What's the occasion?

I wanted to make

dinner for my

sarcastic yet

wonderful son.

I hope you're

hungry, 'cause

I'm going all

out here.

Can you set

the table?

'Where.-'re

you going?

To watch

T.V.

Honey, I really wanna

talk to you.

We haven't talked

in a long time,

and I have some stuff

to discuss with you.

Could you set

the table?

You know, I've,

I've been having

these headaches

lately,

and I had some tests

ta ken and...

Anyway, I, I wanted to talk

to you about your father.

I know you're really

confused about him,

and then I think

it's time--

Confused?

What?

Confused?

How, how am

I confused, Mom?

I've never

had a father.

How is that

confusing?

I just think that you

should know that...

Well, your father

and I, he was--

I know what

happened.

You met a guy when

you were on vacation

and nine months later

you ended up with me.

I didn't end

up with you.

I had a choice

and I chose you.

I was

a mistake.

You were not

a mistake.

Don't ever

say that.

You were not

a mistake.

I don't wanna have this

conversation, okay?

It's

stupid.

Well, wait,

Caleb!

Caleb, I found

pot in your room.

What are you doing going

through my stuff?

What are you

doing with pot?

Who

cares?

Where did

you get it?

Mom, why does

it matter?

Look, I have a pot

dealer, okay?

It helps me get away

from like this

little perfect world

that we live in,

and you do the same thing

with your stupid pills.

My pills are

for my headaches.

They're prescribed

medication.

Pot is illegal.

Caleb, don't walk

away from me.

I'm your

mother.

Then why don't you

start acting like it?

What is

this?

Who are

you?

I don't

even know

who you are

anymore.

Well, the feeling's

mutual.

Do you remember we used
