And I think this situation was attracted into

my life as a huge learning lesson for me...

to grow and expand

as a spiritual human being.

I want to lead a huge

charity organization.

I want to lead a country

one day, for all I know.

[ WOMAN ]

What time did you guys

get home last night?

- Uh, late.

- Mm-hmm?

- And you know it's a school night.

- We know.

Yeah? Okay.

Well, let's do our morning prayer, okay?

And then, at 8:
00, we'll meet

in the living room for today's lesson.

Okay? Does that sound good?

- Mm-hmm.

- Let's go.

Okay.

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

My chief aim in life

is to continually strive...

to be the best person that I can be

and everyone who walks on it.

And so it is.

- But I was away for a year, so did home school.

- Bummer.

How'd you end up in the dropout school?

Well, I got kicked out of my last school

for having too many absences, so...

You know. What about you?

For having substances

you're not supposed to have at school.

See you around.

See ya.

[ CHUCKLES ]

Oh, yeah.

[ WOMAN ]

How did you meet Rebecca?

I met Rebecca in school after I'd

moved back and went to Indian Hills.

Um, I went there

'cause I had a lot of absences.

I didn't want to go to school. I had

a lot of self-loathing and anxiety issues.

- I thought that I was ugly.

- You're not ugly.

I know I'm not ugly. I just...

I don't know. I never saw myself

as an A-list-looking guy.

Um, but I went to Indian Hills

to learn and be with my peers.

But I was always self-conscious that I wasn't,

you know, as good-looking as other people.

[ REBECCA ]

Want a ride?

Hey, where we going?

Wherever we want.

- Okay. [ CHUCKLES ]

- [ CHUCKLES ]

Do you know anybody that's out of town?

Um...

Yeah, this kid Evan.

His family went to Jamaica. Why?

I went into an unlocked house

a few weeks ago...

- found a bunch of cash.

- Oh, sh*t.

- Where does Evan live?

- Woodland Hills.

How well do you know Evan?

I mean, we met up a few times.

He's pretty hot.

[ HANDLE RATTLES ]

It's a nice place.

F***. We need to get out of here.

It's fine. Don't freak out.

It's a Birkin.

Great.

[ REBECCA ]

[ MARC BREATHING HEAVILY ]

I think we need to get out of here.

[ CHUCKLES ]

Oh, yeah.

No way.
