- As you're
wrappin' up your weekend
we're certainly
hoping you got outside
and enjoyed the warm weather.
And there's plenty
more ahead apparently.
This year's farmer's almanac
is calling for mild fall
and winter season
across the northeast.
With temperatures above
normal so far the late fall
is just a bit.
And I know there are other
folks looking down the road
for a white Christmas.
Maybe not this time,
the almanac says.
- Take this, just set
it in the kitchen.
We gotta get all this
unloaded before dark.
- You should hold
it by the bottom.
These boxes have
seen better days.
Are you okay?
- Yeah.
I'm getting a migraine.
lie down for awhile.
- But I thought we
needed to finish this.
- We do.
I just need a little break.
We'll finish it later,
I promise, okay?
- Yeah, sure.
- Hi, I'm Tyler Evans.
I just moved here and need
to register for classes.
- Okay, Tyler, we
can take care of you.
Do you have your paperwork?
- The papers.
- Oh.
I'm sorry, I must have left
them back at the house.
- Are you serious?
- I'm so sorry.
Um, you know, I'm just
right down the road.
I'll just go get
'em, I'll go get 'em.
- In the meantime, I could
have somebody show you around.
- Yeah, perfect, see.
Okay, I'll be back
in a heartbeat, okay.
Sorry.
- Tyler?
- Yeah.
- I'm Paige, I'm supposed
to show you around.
Indrid,
Indrid.
Mr. Stevenson will see you now.
- Come on in.
- There you have it.
I hope it was informative.
- It was.
Thank you.
- I know what it's like
to be new and all alone.
If you have any questions
or if you need anything
just call me, okay?
- Okay, thank you.
- Bye.
- Everything taken care of?
- Yes, your mother brought back
all the appropriate paperwork.
You're all squared away.
She's looking for you outside.
- Thank you.
I'm sorry about that again.
- No worries, we got
it all sorted out.
Here's your schedule.
- Could you also tell
me where I get the bus?
- We don't bus students
that live less than
a mile from school.
- Okay, thank you anyway.
- You're welcome,
have a great day.
- Whoa, easy there, champ.
- I'm sorry.
Mr. Stevenson, right?
- Yeah, have we met?
- I'm...
- oh, sorry about that.
- I'm Tyler.
I just moved here.
And this girl, Paige,
just showed me around.
She mentioned who you were.
- Yeah, I know Paige.
She's one of our best students.
Keep her close.
She's a great person to know.
Well look, I hope
you like it here.
- Well, we'll see.
I mean, thanks, I do, too.
- Well, it was nice meetin' ya.
- It's nice meeting you.
I'll see ya.
- All right.
- All the time I have
to have all this stress.
- Sorry, I'm Tyler Evans,
I just transferred.
Today's my first day.
- There are paper
towels by the sink.
Clean yourself up and
take a seat, please.
Before we get started,
I'm sure you've all heard,
the devastating
news about Derek.
He passed away this
morning at the hospital.
He was a fun-loving
with a lot of heart.
And his death is a tragic
loss for all of us.
Let's take a moment
of silence, please.
- So, guess what?
- You got it, didn't you?
- Hell yeah I did.
- Thanks, mom.
- Shut up.
It was a birthday present.
- Hey, I'll be lucky if I get
a birthday card this year.
- How fast does it go?
- I haven't really had the
chance to test her out yet.
Gonna head out tonight.
See if anyone's up
to takin' me on.
- Speed kills, dude.
- Livin' on the edge.
It's the only way to do it.
- Yep, right until you fall off.
- Hi
- hi.
- And how do you feel
about his new toy?
- I think it's sexy.
- You guys see the new kid?
pants in class today.
- Yeah, I heard that, too.
Poor bastard.
- He doesn't stand a chance.
- Come on guys, get tough.
Let's fight.
A victory is in our sight.
Come on, guys get tough.
Let's fight.
A victory is in our sight.
Come on guys,
get tough.
Let's fight.
A victory is in our sights.
Come on guys...
- look who it is.
- Isn't that the new kid?
- Yeah.
Check this out.
Whoops.
My bad.
Oh!
- Damn.
Thanks.
- Kinda depressing, huh?
Lookin' down there wondering
why you're sittin' up here.
- They sure have
it a lot easier.
- They don't have much.
- They have all
the pretty girls.
- Unfortunately, it
looks the only the things
they got goin' for 'em.
The girls, the girls, that is.
I'm Indrid.
What kind of an
odd name is that?
- And you are?
- Tyler.
- Tyler.
What kind of an
ordinary name is that?
- It's nice to meet you.
- So, what do you think?
What do you think of
this place so far?
- I can tell not a
lot goes on here.
- Touche.
I knew you were smart.
I'm not gonna lie.
This place sucks.
- Well, that's reassuring.
- Yeah well.
It's always kinda
been a low-key place.
- Is that why it's
crawling with cops.
- Okay, okay,
maybe once in a while
this place gets exciting.
- I haven't been
to too many schools
that have their
own police force.
- Mr. Stevenson's a joke.
- Let's go, b*tch.
- Keep those balls
outta your face.
See ya around?
- I'll see ya.
- Well, look who it is.
- Hey.
- So, I've been
waiting for your call.
What's up with that?
- I, uh...
- I don't just give
my number to anyone.
- I didn't know you uh...
- I'm messing with you.
Come on.
- What the hell, b*tch?
That's my seat.
- I don't see your name on it.
Sit down.
- Keepin' the balls
outta your face today?
- Hmm, oh, right, yeah.
Haven't had any issues
with that today.
- Good, because I'm not
grabbin' any more for ya.
Come on, let's eat.
- What the hell is Indrid doing?
- He's not gonna really
bring him over here, is he?
- God damn.
- Guys, this is Tyler.
Tyler, Wes, Brian,
and Josh.
- Nice to meet you.
- So, Wes, how's
livin' on the edge?
- Got her up to 120 last night.
She still can climb.
Destroy everybody.
Mere mortals.
- That has a nice ring to it.
Be sure to have that
etched into your head
so when if your luck runs out.
- I'm guessing you hunt.
Did you know that Derek kid?
- No.
- He was killed in a
hunting accident, wasn't he?
- Well, I guess his colors
just weren't bright enough.
- Ugh.
- Girlfriend?
- Um,
no, not anymore.
- What happened?
- Nothing good ever lasts, Ty.
So, uh
what's your mom do for a living?
- My mom's always
in and out of jobs.
It's hard to keep track.
And what about your dad?
- It's just me and my mom.
My dad left when I
was really young.
What about you?
What do your parents do?
- Um,
my mom's a real estate agent
and my dad
works for some food company.
I rarely see them.
To be completely honest,
I've written them off.
- What do you mean?
- Parents have a
responsibility
to be there for
their kids, right?
- Yeah.
- Well, uh,
obviously mine have
forgotten about me so,
just returnin' the favor.
So, f*** 'em.
- Boo.
- Jesus, Matt.
- So, how's your new buddy?
- What are you talkin' about?
