You want some coffee?

You're supposed

to make me some coffee.

Well, I hope she likes it.

The weather's pretty nice.

Look at the clouds.

Oh, she's nuts.

Shut up.

No no no!

Stop.

No, let me go!

Please don't!

Don't! No! No!

Please don't.

Please. Stop.

Don't. Don't.

No! Stop.

No! No! No. Stop.

No. No.

Stop it. No.

Stop it!

Stop.

Stop.

Hey, can I get

everybody's attention?

Hello?

Welcome to 9 Juliet.

Do me a favor and put

your phones on the table.

What?

Wow.

That is quite a collection.

Who thinks this is silly?

Raise your hand.

Okay.

Remi, Holly, Justine,

Margot, Natalie.

Who else?

Madison thinks it's silly.

No no no, I have a question.

- Yeah?

- Are you gonna take these away?

- I am.

- When?

Hey, I'm fine.

Take 'em away.

You're ready, huh?

You know,

when I tell people what I do

and I talk about this program,

some people ask me

"Is it really that out of control?"

And I'm telling you guys

that here tonight at this table

we have a $2400-a-month texter.

We have serious online gambler,

a hacker,

a cyber-bully.

We have two students who,

in one year,

have gone from top of their class

to barely passing

because of time spent online.

And one of you caused

a five-car pile-up on the freeway

because she was talking on the phone

while she was driving.

So you guys

still think it's silly?

I mean, it's kinda serious, right?

And I'm not saying

"Don't use technology."

I love technology,

but we just...

we don't want to abuse it,

because there's more to relationships

than pushing buttons,

and that's what

this program is about.

It's about relationships...

face to face, eye to eye,

talking to each other,

listening to each other.

And you're gonna have fun.

And you know what?

I know you just met

each other tonight

but some of you,

after this program,

I promise will become

lifelong friends.

You going out?

No.

There you go.

It is all yours.

Hey, you left a mess here.

You wanna clean it up?

Yeah, I'm sorry about that.

Right there.

There you go.

Hi.

Was that a camera?

I'm hungry. I'm going

to the vending machine.

Oop! Sorry.

That's okay.

Do what you need to do.

Where'd you get

the sandwich?

My house. I have more.

Do you want one?

Uh, no thanks.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah.

My mom bought

a whole bunch of stuff for us.

Dude! Check it out.

Oh my God.

Sick.

You guys.

Could you keep it down?

I'm trying to work.

- Sure.

- Yeah.

...and made positive use

of the sector from Wall Street.

But blue chips fell victim

to a sell-off after a two-session rally

to propel the Dow Industrial

further in 2011.

US import prices took

their sharpest plunge

in over eight years in March.

- That was so awkward.

- Come on.

Guys, what's going on?

We thought you were

right behind us.

That other girl, Dawn...

- we're rooming with her... so uptight.

- That's all I have to say.

- Whoa. What?

- She's the one with the puffer.

No, I think she's really nice.

Go. Go.

...and bulldozers rumbled

into this refugee camp

earlier Wednesday, razing...

- Yes!

- Go.

- I wanna. I wanna. Wait.

- No no no no! Shh!

Look what you did.

Okay okay okay. Shh!

- Turn around. Turn around.

- Why?

- Just turn around.

- Why?

She doesn't want us

to see her password.

Oh.

Okay, you can look.

Okay.

So there's this girl

at my school... Angela,

and she thinks

I'm this girl named Blair.

And I put this sh*t

up on her wall,

and it's totally outing her

about what a skank she is

and how she got all messed up at this

party and was totally being a slut.

My friend was there and, like,

she saw the whole thing

and so did a bunch of people

from my friend's school.

So anyways,

on this profile of Blair,

I blab to everyone

on her page about it.

Yeah, she has no idea.

It's so great.

"R" to the "E"

to the "M" to the "I"

Remi is my name,

that's dancing in the line...

I don't wanna be here,

I don't wanna be here

And matter of fact,

you should check your back.

Check your back.

Uh, yeah.

May I have the camera?

Yes.

Margot.

Margot.

All right, ladies, listen up.

We're gonna get the stuff

loaded onto the boat.

Groceries are gonna

go in the galley,

the sleeping bags

and duffels up top

and the ropes

and climbing gear aft. Okay?

Everybody. Now.

Get to work.

If the boat gets stuck

in the water,

we use these poles

to push our way through.

Ow!

Which one of you has

experience with boats?

Me.

My dad owns a boat.

Fantastic. You're gonna

take us out, okay?

Right on.

How fast she go?

Are you asking me

how fast she goes

or how fast you're

allowed to drive her?

Oh!

Whoa!

- You okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

- You always have to hold onto something.

- That makes sense.

If your engine dies,

you can use them

as a makeshift rudder

or to rescue a man overboard.

- Justine.

- Mmm?

Why do we need paddles

on a houseboat?

I have no idea.

What's port? Good.

What's starboard?

Thank you.

- You're gonna be awesome.

- Okay.

I'll take those.

You guys get the rest

of the gear loaded.

Whoa!

Margot, stop.

That was interesting.

Okay, how you doing, Ashley?

I think that if you twist

the line as you coil,

- it works better.

- Come up from below, over the top horn,

cross over,

under the bottom horn.

- I'm a visual learner.

- Up two and over one.

Okay, so it's like this.

- Okay. Okay.

- You just kind of twist it like that.

- Okay.

- Yup, thanks.

- Yeah.

- Take one.

I don't know how we're supposed

to learn to drive the boat

when we're not allowed

to touch anything.

Everything okay, Margot?

- I think Dawn wants to talk to you.

- Does she?

Okay, you guys keep working.

Okay, what's going on?

Mmm. How do you think this feels?

It was really grinding.

I know.

I heard it.

It sounds fine.

It's fine.

She's tough.

- Didn't you read the brochure?

- No!

Yes.

- What does that mean?

- Did I get it?

- "Hi, how are you?"

- "Hi, how are you?"

- What was the first one you said?

- Remi, please roll your tongue.

- Wait.

- No, like this.

I can't do it.

Wait wait. What?

No, like when it goes

up and down, like...

Yeah! I can't do that.

- What are your rates?

- How much do I charge?

- Yeah.

- You want an "A" or do you want a "B"?

- I'm dead serious. Yeah.

- Seriously?

There is, like, no one in this town.

Population:
Three.

I wanna do that.

What did you say?

- Oh my God, so funny.

- I hope he throws up.

That's gross.

Yes, he does.

You guys are gonna be doing this

every day while we're together,

so I promise you it'll get easier.

Hey, Nancy.

Yes?

- What should I write?

- I don't know.

- Who are you writing to?

- Nancy, this is crazy.

I'm trying to write my sister

at college in California.

- Oh, that's great.

- But I don't know what to write.

Can you tell me

how to start it?

- No, I can't.

- I can't do it.

Can we write about

someone here we don't like?

Do you guys have

this much trouble with a keyboard?

I know you don't.

It's just different.
