From New Orleans.

Oh, no, like, uh,

like originally?

Hey, that one, you know,

Louisiana.

Okay.

The accent threw me off.

What accent?

You want Redbull?

Thanks.

Wh-when was this taken?

Few years ago.

Really? You just...

You look so young in it.

Wow.

Look at that.

Don't be smart guy.

Oh, sorry, man.

Why don't you sit down, relax?

Yeah, yeah, no, that was...

my bad. I didn't mean to...

Looking all my stuff.

Yeah.

Sorry.

A little bit nosy guy.

Yeah.

Uh, so, uh, what-how'd

you get into acting?

Oh.

It always been dream.

Long time.

Yeah?

But I ignore it.

Then one day

I get into accident.

What happened?

Guy run red light.

And smash.

Whoa?

Very bad for Tommy.

I almost die.

But then I survive.

Whoa.

It was like, wake up call,

you could say.

Yeah, definitely.

After that, I stopped doing

all the other things.

And I...

go back to my dream.

And everybody say,

"you're such crazy guy.

you're so stupid guy."

I said, "I don't care."

I do it.

Yes.

I know I can do it.

I get that.

With me,

everything changed with

Home Alone.

Oh, you...

you're home alone

long time?

Uh, the mov-the movie...

-the movie Home Alone?

-Ah, it's a movie.

Yeah.

With, uh, with Macaulay Culkin?

Okay.

Okay, um.

Yeah, so, anyway that movie,

it spoke to me, you know? It...

It changed my life and-

and ever since then, I just...

I've... just...

I get it.

You want to be star.

Yeah, I...

just wanted to be in the movies.

You know, Greg...

you and me,

we are the same.

Oh, yeah? How's-

how's that?

We both have this dream.

Yeah, I guess we do.

And...

for information...

I was 'home alone' too.

Except not movie,

in real life.

Don't I buy you

everything you want?

A bicycle? You get a bicycle.

A car?

You buy me many things.

No, no, no, no.

He bought me many things.

We give you love and

affection, don't we?

It's not a place for kids.

A minute ago, you said

you didn't care if he drinks.

He said "a little drink."

You're tearing me apart!

Oh, my God.

You, you say one thing,

he says another...

He's the best, I told you.

You're taking me apart!

"Tearing."

You're tearing me apart.

Yeah, he's emotion!

Moment to moment.

Not plastic.

I knew you'd like it, man.

You know,

you could be like Dean.

Me?

My God, you behind the schedule.

Listen to me, young man.

You have the gift,

you have the look.

Yeah.

Hey, if I can have a career in

this business, so can you, man.

Ah.

I don't want career.

You don't want a career?

I thought that's...

I want my own planet.

Uh, your own planet?

Yeah, it's cool,

everybody love each other.

That's why it's the best planet.

Sounds great!

Sounds ideal, really.

I have a present for you.

Welcome to my planet, Greg.

Oh, my God.

Yeah, yeah,

Rebel Without a Cause,

East of Eden, and Giant.

That's it.

Wow.

Yeah, three movies, and then

all of a sudden, he's dead.

-That's so crazy.

-Yeah.

-Tragedy.

-It is.

You know he died just a

little bit south of here?

I wanna go one day

to the crash site.

Pay my respects.

Why don't we go now?

Now? Now, Tommy,

it's not that close.

It's like 300 miles away.

300 mile, who care?

We just do it.

It would take hours, man.

Okay.

Now, you drive.

What?

Tommy, are you serious?

Yeah, I'm serious.

Greg, the Dean

won't come to you.

You have to go to the Dean.

All right, f*** it.

All right, let's do this sh*t.

Road trip!

Road trip!

"I miss you"

"very much."

His whole life,

people tell him,

"You're not good enough.

You'll never make it."

But he doesn't listen.

He show them all.

That will be us

one day, Greg.

I... I hope we're not

dead on the side of a road.

No, not that part.

That we'll be famous.

We'll show them.

You'll see.

Yeah, maybe.

No, Greg, listen.

Give me pinky.

What?

What are we ten years old?

We pinky swear.

Right here, right now.

We make pact.

That we always

push each other.

That we always

believe in each other.

And that we will

never forget dream.

All right.

Okey?

Okay.

Whooo!

Whoo!

James Dean!

Ah! We miss you, James!

We're with you, brother, always!

Never gonna make you cry

-Never gonna make you cry

Never gonna say goodbye

-Never gonna say goodbye

Never gonna tell a lie and

Hurt you

I think it about us, huh?

Maybe.

Yeah, maybe.

You know, Greg,

I've been thinking.

We should move to Los Angeles.

Really, it's where

everything happening.

Yeah, I f***in' wish.

So, why not?

Um, for one, I...

I can't afford it.

It's no problem.

We just go stay at my place.

Wait, what, y-you have

a place in L.A.?

Yeah, I have apartment

I rarely use.

We can go there together.

Wait, Tommy, y-you have an apartment

in L.A. and San Francisco?

Yeah.

How? How do you afford that? Wha-?

Greg, money not issue.

I told you.

Tommy, a-are you? You're

being serious right now?

Yes, Greg.

But the real question...

Are you serious?

Uh, uh, yes! I'm-are you kidding?!

Absolu-- are you?

Yes! Let's do this!

All right! Roommates!

Roommates!

Yeah, I see you

smiling, babyface.

It's gonna be great.

Whoo!

I'm never gonna give you up

Never gonna let you down

Never goin' to run around

And desert you!

Greg!

Never gonna make you cry

Greg.

Greg!

Have you lost your mind?

What? You're leaving now?

-Yeah.

-No.

No! This is absurd!

You can't just pack up

-and move to Los Angeles.

-Mom.

What are you gonna

do for money?

I have money saved

from my modeling jobs.

From your mo-- uh!

That money's gonna

last you two weeks.

Then what are you gonna do?

Then I'll get a job, or...

I don't know,

but I'll figure it out.

What about this Tommy person?

You barely know this guy.

You're moving in with him?

He's being a good friend.

He's just lookin' out for me.

Oh, my God, Greg.

Do you...

Do you understand

how hard it is?

This acting thing?

You don't just...

show up in L.A.

and things happen.

It doesn't work like that.

You have to know people.

You have to

be very lucky.

You have to work

really hard.

You have to be talented.

I... I didn't mean it like that.

Oh, my God.

Okay.

-Good.

-What, what are you--

-Mom, no, no, Mom, Mom.

-I wanna meet Tommy.

I wanna meet your

little friend, Tommy.

-Why? Why?

-It's gonna be good.

Mom, come on.

Hello, hi!

Hi.

Why is he driving a Mercedes?

It's complicated.

Greg, wait!

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

I have an idea,

why don't you guys

come in for a second

and we'll uh, we'll get to

know each other

-a little bit.

-We can't.

We don't have time, Mom.

Are you on a schedule?

Mom, just come

give me a hug, please.

Just a second, just a second,

just a second.

This is quite a fancy car

you have here, Tommy.

Wow.

Wow.

How?

How old are you?

-Wow, the questions,

-That's personal. You can't

-My God!

-ask people that question.

I'm more like Greg age.

You're 19?

Yeah.

I just turned 14.

Wow, happy birthday.

Okay, Tommy...

what is it about my son

that you find so intriguing?

No big deal.

Babyface cool guy.
