Yeah, I would.

I don't think he would.

And if I ever got back together

with Garrison... I don't know...

I'd be really happy about it.

He never kissed me...

which I think is what made it so special...

because he was able to show me...

that I was important to him

without any of that.

And I've been through

enough kisses to know...

that they're all just a waste of time

unless there's something behind it.

Imagine yourself visiting here...

over seven centuries ago...

and receiving an invitation

into this cliff-dwelling home.

What you would have seen might well have

been something like this cutaway model...

of Montezuma Castle...

a village of people who experienced

wants and needs...

anxieties and fears...

joys and sorrows...

just as you and I today.

Well, I was on Facebook, and...

I got a friend request from my mom.

- She doesn't look anything like me.

- No.

I know.

I declined her friend request.

I think that after, like...

16 years... 16 and a half years...

Facebook isn't the right way

to contact someone.

Yeah. Exactly. If they wanted

any sort of communication with you...

I think they would have done it,

or should have done it in a different way.

I don't know what she was trying

to accomplish by adding you on Facebook.

- On Facebook!

- Yeah.

I mean, I don't even...

Like, we're the computer...

Facebook, Myspace, YouTube generation.

We grew up with it, and we're still

not comfortable with things like that.

- Yeah.

- Like...

honestly, to me, no matter

how much technology progresses...

it's still not going to be okay

to do personal things impersonally.

I spent, um, the larger portion of my life

believing my mom was dead.

Finding out she's alive and-and...

you know, I have a half-sister,

and I have a half-brother...

and I'm an aunt and, like...

It's... You know, it kind of blew my mind.

Um...

But it's not the right time right now.

I... You know, with my mom,

with my sister.

I just had to put it on the back burner...

and just kind of say no for now.

It's just... It's just a bad time.

It's just I don't...

I don't think...

her, um, approach was okay.

I just...

I don't think either one of us

is healthy enough right now.

You know, she has an ongoing

heroin addiction...

that's extremely prevalent in her life.

She...

Uh, she can't be a mom.

She can't even be a friend.

And she doesn't owe it to me

to be my mom.

She just...

I guess the reason I'm upset is because

she owes it to me to be a decent person...

a decent human being,

and she's never done that.

So, I don't know.

I just...

I'll live without her.

Geez, dude.

I win.

- Morning.

- Good morning.

You're terrible.

I'm not nervous.

Do you have stage fright?

- I do not have stage fright.

- Are you nervous?

Man, I'm not even going anywhere

near a stage.

Okay.

...left-hand side.

$25,000 up for grabs today, in addition

to the obscene amount of prizes.

And we have the best

Europe has to offer as well.

They're here and ready to throw down

against their North American counterparts.

I am excited.

If you're not having fun

yet, just try harder.

Come get your sign-up on.

Five, four, three, two, one!

Bang, bang, bang!

Let's get it done.

Coming from Santa Clarita, California,

number 103, Kevin Conway.

See, the first trick,

he landed it, and he broke the board.

So, unfortunately,

Kevin didn't place in the competition.

Um, and he didn't win the money...

but, you know,

I don't want to sound too cheesy...

but I'm really proud of him

just for getting there...

and competing in such a big event.

Yeah, this girl Kristen's been, like,

helping me with math and stuff.

She's, like, a brainiac.

Let me read. No, it was...

I didn't see what it was.

Yeah. Point. So I can catch up.

Okay, so...

Worst.

No, minus 81.

Mmm. I don't know. I guess it's safe to say

I kind of have, like, a crush on her.

Garrison doesn't know

what he wants. I mean, you know...

she's fun, she's crazy.

She likes different things,

and it's funny, 'cause I never...

I mean,

Garrison never really liked those things.

He was always, you know,

a conservative who loved punk rock music...

but I guess opposites attract, 'cause she's,

like, a hip-hop dancing, crazy liberal...

with hair this short, so...

Sweat off the brow.

Put your hands here and go over.

Or do your little thing

that you liked doing. Oh!

And then you're just gonna go

boom, boom.

It's gonna go right, left, right.

Yeah.

I don't know. I don't want to

go out with someone that's just like me.

I wouldn't ever change,

like, for the better.

I don't know. It's like I want to see

what else is out there...

rather than just people

that are just like me.

Garrison, have you ever taken me

to a place this nice?

- I took you here now.

- I took you here.

It was my idea.

- I took you here.

- No.

- Yes!

- I... Uh...

Unless you just break into my neighbors'

backyards when I'm not around...

I took you here.

Go ahead.

Tell 'em all about it.

Tell 'em about your escapades.

With Kristen. On the balcony.

Go ahead. I don't care.

She doesn't wanna go over there

because I've already been there.

With Kristen.

This is my neighborhood.

And I said, "Okay, go ahead and show her."

But I didn't even know that was there.

And you went without me.

- Well, do you want to go now?

- No.

- Come on.

- No. I don't wanna go.

Let go of me!

Garrison sucks!

Ow! Let go!

You're an idiot.

Garrison, are you and Kristen official yet?

Um, no.

We're just friends.

And why is that?

I don't know. 'Cause

I don't wanna make it official.

We're just friends. We're gonna chill.

Then we'll see what happens, but...

Friendship first.

Oh, Santa Claus, Santa Claus and snow!

You'll be wet.

I'm glad I'm not a reindeer, that is true.

- I wanna go pick out a Christmas tree.

- Okay. I don't care.

- Okay.

- We just gotta convince Mom.

- No, we don't.

- We just go get it.

Yeah.

- Once it's done, it's done.

- Can't take it and put it back.

Mm-mmm.

Yeah, well, we just purchased

a house in Tennessee.

Uh, after Kevin graduates...

So we're thinking maybe, uh...

when we move back to Tennessee,

that he'd, uh...

He'd be able to go to college

there in Tennessee.

Yeah. I'll most likely still
