- Don't say anything.

Are you kidding me?

That's awesome.

I like you, Sutter...

so much.

Do you wanna do this?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

Do you? Yeah? Okay.

Hold on.

- Here.

- Wow.

- Where did you even get this from?

- I don't know.

It's better.

Good to be safe, huh?

Got all your bases covered.

You got it?

- Yeah.

- Do you need any help?

- No.

- Are you sure?

You okay?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- Oh, my gosh.

- What?

Nothing.

- You wanna do it?

- Yeah.

- Hey.

- Yeah?

I'm so glad that I met you.

I'm so glad that I met you too.

Go slow. Go really slow.

Okay?

- Sorry.

- Sorry.

It's okay.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

Tell you a secret?

What?

- My dad's not a pilot.

- What?

Yeah, I actually don't know

what my dad does or where he is.

- What? Sutter.

- Yeah.

I just made that up because

he's been gone for half my life and...

I guess I just miss him.

Oh, my God.

No one knows where he is?

My mom knows where he is,

but she won't tell me.

- What?

- Yeah.

She can't keep him from you.

He's your dad.

I know. She does. She has.

Sutter, that's not, like-

What?

Yeah.

I'll make you a deaI.

I will stand up to my mom

if you'll stand up to yours.

What do you think?

I think...

that you're wonderfuI.

Can I look?

- Sorry I didn't get you a limo.

- That's okay.

But this...

is my way of making it up to you.

- You did not have to get me anything.

- I know. I wanted to.

I wrapped it.

- Should I open it?

- Yeah.

- You wrapped this?

- In newspaper.

- It's beautifuI.

- Thank you. Took me forever.

- Okay. Thank you.

- You're welcome.

I don't know what it is, but thank you.

- What?

- Yeah! I know. Do you like it?

- I love it!

- Do you? All right. Good.

- It has my name on it?

- Uh-huh.

- Thank you.

- Glad you like it. You're welcome.

- You did not need to do this.

- I know, but the best part is, it's full.

- It is full.

- Yeah. Mostly.

- Did you take a sip?

- I took a sip, made sure it worked.

- For good luck?

- Yup.

- Ready?

- Yeah.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

- To you, Aimee Finecky.

- To you, Sutter Keely.

Ricky! Looking good, brother.

Looking good.

- For you.

- Thank you.

My lady.

So nice.

- Want some?

- Yeah.

- Okay?

- Yeah. Thank you.

- She's a good dancer.

- Who?

- Cassidy.

- I didn't notice.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

Why aren't you guys dancing?

- We're gonna get out there next song.

- Come on. It's prom.

- Aimee, dance with me.

- No. I'm good.

- I don't really dance.

- Lucky for you, I'm a phenomenaI dancer.

- I can teach you some stuff.

- No, I'm fine.

You guys should go.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah. Absolutely.

All right. Good.

Have fun.

She looks very nice.

Have you turned her into a lush yet?

Do you want to lecture me about it,

or you wanna dance?

Okay. I wanna dance.

Pump the arms.

Pump the arms.

Yep. That's what we're doing.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

God, this is awesome.

Seriously, like,

everybody's just singin'...

and dancing...

and falling in love.

I'm so happy.

I mean, this, like- this is our night.

This is the youngest

that we're ever gonna be.

I love these people.

I do. I love these people.

I love you all!

Come on. Dance with me.

Come on.

Sorry I don't know

how to dance like Cassidy.

You dance like Aimee.

That's perfect.

- Oh, my gosh.

- What?

Guess what!

My sister called me today...

and she said that she could probably,

almost 100% likely...

get me a job at the bookstore.

- In Philadelphia?

- Yes!

- That's awesome. You love books.

- I know! It's perfect.

- That's the perfect job for you.

- It really is.

It'll help pay for college, and-

Yeah.

- You talk to your mom yet?

- No.

But I will... eventually.

It's pretty.

Sorry.

Come here. Sorry.

So abusive.

Sorry.

Back to what I was saying.

I have been thinking...

a lot recently-

a lot more than normaI-

and I think that you

should come with me.

- To-

- Philly.

- Philly.

- Yes. Yes!

I've been looking all into it.

And you can go to the junior college...

and we could both get jobs downtown.

It could be really awesome.

Have you ever been to Philly?

Have you seen the Liberty Bell?

- No.

- I haven't either, but-

but the pictures of it

are really beautifuI.

It's awesome.

You've been thinking about this

for a while, haven't you?

I have. I have. Yeah.

And the coolest thing ever, also,

when I was talking to my sister-

- Besides the Liberty Bell?

- Yes. There's so many cooI things!

She said that there's, like,

tons of vacancies avaiI-

- Listen to me. I'm talking.

- I'm listening.

She said there's tons of vacancies

available in her building...

because of the economy

and stuff, so-

We could totally just move there...

at the end of June, together.

And it would be really inexpensive

and awesome and-

What do you think?

I think that's great.

- Really?

- Yeah.

I did it.

- What?

- Talked to my mom.

I walked in and said...

"It's my life, and I'm not gonna

let you stand in the way of it. "

- How'd that go?

- It was ugly at first.

Said all these things

and tried to guilt me into staying...

but I just said, "Look,

if I can afford it, then I'm leaving...

and there's really not anything

you can do about it. "

That's awesome.

I'm proud of you.

Thank you.

I'm proud of me.

It wasn't that bad.

You'll see.

- What?

- When you do it.

- What are you talking about?

- Sutter! We had a deaI.

Yeah. I don't know.

What? You can totally do it.

Trust me.

- Different.

- No.

Okay, look. Repeat after me.

Say, "I want to call my dad, Mom.

I want to motherfucking call him. "

That's not fair.

- What's wrong?

- Nothing.

- Just wanted to ask you something.

- Okay. What is it?

It's about Dad.

- Oh, Sutter.

- I wanna talk to him.

- I don't think that's a good idea.

- Why not?

- He's my dad.

- And I'm your mom...

and you live under my roof.

I just wanna call him.

This is my job. We can have

this conversation later. Okay?

No wonder he left you.

How do you like the landscaping

we did back here?

Joe and I planted day lilies.

I don't know if you saw them.

- Yeah, it looks really good.

- Really pretty.

Hey, Holl, I was talking on the phone.

I wanted to ask you about Dad.

- You wanna dredge that up, huh?

- "Dredge"?

Dad's not somebody that you dredge.

He's awesome.

He used to tell us stories

in the tent in the backyard.

- You remember that?

- I think that was mostly you.

Do you remember when we

made that trip down to Mexico...

and he had us going up to people

asking where the Belt Buckle Museum was?

And why is there

no artichoke ice cream?

That was hilarious!

Don't look at-

- It was funny.

- It was embarrassing.

No, it wasn't. It was funny.

People loved us.

They loved you

because you were little and cute.

The guys liked you.

They loved you.

Thought you were

a hot little muchacha.

- You liked it.

- Well-

- Yeah. Uh-huh.

- He knew how to make friends at least.

Damn right, he did.

So, do you know what happened

between him and Mom?
