00:00:29 I need a father who's a role model,
00:00:33 who's going to spray his shorts whenever
00:00:39 What a lame-o.
00:00:43 Someone really should just put him
00:00:50 [Boy]

00:01:44 And in a way,
00:01:57 Look at me:
00:02:02 This will be the high point of my day.
00:02:11 That's my wife, Carolyn.

00:02:58 She wasn't always like this.
00:03:04 We used to be happy.
00:03:07 My daughterJane.
00:03:14 - Janie's a pretty typical teenager:
00:03:17 Angry, insecure, confused.
00:03:21 I wish I could tell her that's all going
00:03:26 [Horn Honking]
00:03:30 Jane, honey, are you trying
00:03:33 - Yes.

00:05:06 Like the time that Mr Flournoy
00:05:10 and she used the card numbers

00:07:23 this really friendly guy
00:07:26 How perfect is that?
00:07:30 in firing somebody,
00:07:34 No, no. That would just be too honest.

00:43:03 - So do I.
00:43:05 Well, I'm the only one who seems
00:43:09 [Grunts]
00:43:13 This is not a marriage.
00:43:15 This hasn't been
00:43:18 but you were happy as long
00:43:21 Well, guess what.
00:43:23 And the new me whacks off
00:43:25 'cause you're obviously not going
00:43:28 I see. You think you're the
00:43:31 I'm not? Well, then,
00:43:34 Don't you mess
00:43:36 I will divorce you so fast,
00:43:39 On what grounds?
00:43:41 I'm not a drunk.
00:43:44 I don't mistreat you.
00:43:46 I don't even try to touch you,
00:43:49 just how unnecessary
00:43:53 But... I did support you
00:43:56 And some people might think that
00:44:00 Oh!
00:44:03 So, turn out the light
00:44:18 [Lester Narrating] It's a great thing
00:44:21 the ability
00:44:23 Makes you wonder what else you can do
00:44:27 Hey, guys.
00:44:29 Lester. I didn't know you ran.
00:44:31 - I just started.
00:44:34 I figured you guys might be

00:45:06 Hey! Yo, Ricky.
00:45:08 [Panting]
00:45:11 My entire life is passing
00:45:16 Sorry. Hi. Lester Burnham.
00:45:19 Colonel Frank Fitts,
00:45:21 Oh, whoa. Well.
00:45:24 Welcome to the neighbourhood, sir.
00:45:30 Ricky, uh...
00:45:33 I was thinking about the, uh...
00:45:36 - Re-Animator.
00:45:38 You want to borrow it?
00:45:52 - Can you hold this for a sec?
00:45:55 I don't think my dad would try
00:45:59 - What is this?
00:46:02 I have to take a drug test every
00:46:06 Are you kidding?
00:46:09 It's not mine.
00:46:11 One of my clients is a nurse
00:46:15 Cut her a deal,
00:46:20 You like Pink Floyd?
00:46:24 I like a lot of music.
00:46:27 Man, I haven't listened
00:46:31 How much do you want?
00:46:34 I don't know. It's been a while.
00:46:41 This is totally decent,
00:46:45 Wow!
00:46:47 This shit is
00:46:50 It's called G-13. It's genetically
00:46:53 It's extremely potent, but
00:46:58 Is that what we smoked
00:47:01 This is all I ever smoke.
00:47:07 - How much?
00:47:10 Jesus!
00:47:13 Things have changed since 1973.
00:47:15 - You don't have to pay now.
00:47:19 There's a card in there
00:47:21 Beep me anytime, day or night.
00:47:25 And I only accept cash.
00:47:27 Now I know how you can afford
00:47:31 God. When I was your age,
00:47:35 - That sucks.
00:47:41 All I did was party
00:47:45 I had my whole life
00:47:50 My dad thinks I pay for all
00:47:54 Never underestimate

00:48:42 I see you're smoking pot now.
00:48:46 I think using illegal

00:48:51 You're one to talk, you bloodless,
00:48:56 Uh... Lester!
00:48:58 You have such hostility in you.
00:49:00 Do you mind? I'm trying to work
00:49:04 Lester, you will not
00:49:08 - You can be sure of that.

00:50:16 That's not going to happen.
00:50:19 What do you say I throw in a little
00:50:22 [Laughing]
00:50:26 [Laughs]
00:50:28 Can you prove that you
00:50:31 if I let you blow me?
00:50:38 Man... you are
00:50:43 Nope. I'm just
00:50:46 with nothing to lose.
00:50:54 Yeah.
00:51:01 - Carolyn.
00:51:03 - I am so sorry to have kept you waiting.
00:51:07 Christy left for New York
00:51:10 Let's just say things were
00:51:13 - What's she doing in New York?
00:51:17 Yes, we are splitting up.
00:51:19 Buddy. I'm so sorry.
00:51:21 Yes. According to her, I'm...
00:51:25 too focused on my career.
00:51:27 - [Scoffs]
00:51:30 some sort of a character flaw.
00:51:33 Well, she certainly did
00:51:37 Ooh! Ha. Wow.
00:51:41 - Ah, it's for the best.
00:51:45 When I saw you two at the party the
00:51:49 Well, call me crazy,

00:51:56 one must project
00:51:59 at all times.
00:52:19 What are you doing?
00:52:22 - I was filming this dead bird.
00:52:26 Because it's beautiful.
00:52:30 I think maybe you forgot
00:52:36 [Ricky]
00:52:38 I want you to stop filming me.
00:52:42 Okay.
00:52:44 Well, whatever. This is boring.
00:52:46 Let's go.
00:52:49 - Do you need a ride?
00:00:03 It's okay. I'll walk.
00:00:06 He doesn't want to go anyway.

00:03:15 almost nothing.

00:03:36 Yeah. Have you ever
00:03:41 No. Have you?
00:03:43 No.
00:03:45 But I did see this homeless woman
00:03:48 just laying there
00:03:51 She looked really sad.
00:04:05 I got that homeless woman
00:04:08 Why would you film that?
00:04:10 - Because it was amazing.
00:04:14 When you see something like that,
00:04:18 just for a second,
00:04:20 and if you're careful,
00:04:23 And what do you see?
00:04:26 Beauty.
00:04:29 [Clock Ticking]
00:04:43 Mom, I want you

00:05:29 No. One of my clients
00:05:32 He was short on cash one night,
00:05:49 Turn it over.
00:05:54 Oh, my God.
00:05:57 It's, like, official state china

00:07:00 and there was this electricity
00:07:05 You can almost hear it.
00:07:07 Right?
00:07:13 And this bag was just...
00:07:17 dancing with me,
00:07:21 like a little kid
00:07:26 for 15 minutes.
00:07:32 That's the day I realized
00:07:36 entire life behind things...
00:07:43 and this incredibly
00:07:47 that wanted me to know that there
00:07:52 ever.
00:07:57 Video's a poor excuse, I know,

00:22:26 You know what I mean.
00:22:37 So tell me about

00:22:52 I told you this whole thing
00:22:55 Of course,
00:22:59 Dad and I had

00:23:04 And the next day at school,
00:23:10 and I just snapped.
00:23:16 I wanted to kill him.
00:23:19 I would've... killed him...
00:23:23 if they hadn't pulled me off.
00:23:29 That's when my dad
00:23:32 They drugged me up and left me
00:23:38 Wow.
00:23:40 - You must really hate him.
00:23:43 [Whispers]
00:23:46 He's not a bad man.
00:23:48 Well, you'd better believe I'd hate my
00:23:52 Wait.
00:23:54 I already do hate my dad.
00:23:58 Why?
00:24:02 He's a total asshole;
00:24:05 and it's disgusting.
00:24:08 - You'd rather he had the crush on you.
00:24:11 - Gross. No.
00:24:17 But it'd be nice if I was anywhere near
00:24:24 I know you think my dad's harmless,
00:24:29 He's doing massive
00:24:32 How?
00:24:34 Well, now I, too,
00:24:37 a little fucking discipline.
00:24:51 I'm serious, though.
00:24:53 How could he not
00:24:58 I need a father
00:25:01 not some horny geek boy
00:25:03 whenever I bring a girlfriend
00:25:08 What a lame-o.
00:25:13 Someone really should just...
00:25:19 Want me to kill him for you?
00:25:30 Yeah. Would you?
00:25:34 It'll cost you.
00:25:36 I've been baby-sitting
00:25:38 I've got almost $3,000.
00:25:43 Of course I was saving it up
00:25:47 But...
00:25:51 [Laughing]
00:25:54 [Both Laughing]
00:26:02 You know, that's not
00:26:08 hiring someone
00:26:13 Well, I guess I'm not
00:26:39 You know I'm not serious, right?
00:26:42 Of course.
00:26:58 You know how lucky we are

00:33:40 I have to run next door.
00:33:42 Jane left her geometry book in my bag,
00:33:55 So you and psycho boy are fucking on,
00:33:59 No.
00:34:01 Come on. You can tell me.
00:34:04 I'm not going to talk about his dick
00:34:09 Not like what?
00:34:12 Why don't you want
00:34:14 - I tell you every detail
00:34:17 Maybe you shouldn't, all right?
00:34:22 So now that you have a boyfriend,
00:34:26 We got to get you

00:36:05 - Hi, Mr Burnham.
00:36:08 Wow, look at you.
00:36:12 - Some.
00:36:18 You can really tell.
00:36:23 Look at those arms.
00:36:29 You like... muscles?
00:36:33 [Laughs] I should probably
00:36:48 Where did you get that?
00:36:52 - From my job.
00:36:57 Now, I saw you with him.
00:37:00 You were watching me?
00:37:04 What does he make you do?
00:37:06 Oh.
00:37:08 Dad, you don't really think
00:37:11 Don't you laugh at me!
00:37:14 I will not sit back and watch

00:37:21 [Groans]
00:37:24 I swear to God...
00:37:26 I'll throw you out of this house
00:37:29 - You mean that.
00:37:33 I'd rather you were dead
00:37:43 [Sighs]
00:37:47 You're right.

00:40:03 [Jane] I don't think
00:40:06 [Angela]
00:40:08 Just don't fuck my dad,
00:40:11 - Please?
00:40:13 - [Knock At Door]
00:40:17 It's me.
00:40:19 - If I had to leave tonight,
00:40:22 If I had to go to New York to live,
00:40:27 Yes.
00:40:30 You guys can't be serious. You'rejust
00:40:34 - You'll end up living
00:40:38 - We can use my plastic surgery money.
00:40:41 I have over $40,000. I know people
00:40:45 - What, other drug dealers?
00:40:48 - You'd be out of your mind
00:40:51 - Because you're my friend.
00:40:54 She's someone you use
00:40:56 - Go fuck yourself, psycho!
00:40:59 - Jane, he's a freak!
00:41:02 We'll always be freaks,
00:41:05 And you'll never be a freak
00:41:09 Yeah, well,
00:41:15 Yes, you are.
00:41:17 And you're boring,

00:42:58 I don't care.
00:43:10 Your wife is
00:43:13 you don't care?
00:43:17 Nope.
00:43:20 Our marriage is just for show.
00:43:22 A commercial
00:43:25 when we're anything but.
00:43:35 Jesus, man,
00:43:37 We really ought to get you
00:43:41 Yeah.
00:43:44 It's okay.

00:48:42 I have something
00:48:48 [Heavy Breathing]
00:49:32 Are you scared?
00:49:35 I don't get scared.
00:49:40 My parents will try
00:49:43 Mine won't.
00:50:05 This is my first time.
00:50:10 You're kidding.
00:50:13 I'm sorry.
00:50:15 I still want to do it.
00:50:17 I just... thought
00:50:20 in case you wondered why l...
00:50:23 I wasn't... better.
00:50:38 What's wrong?
00:50:46 I thought you said
00:50:50 You are beautiful.
00:50:54 You are so... beautiful.
00:51:01 And I would be a very...
00:51:03 lucky man.
00:51:06 I feel so stupid.
00:51:09 Don't.
00:51:12 - Shh.
00:51:15 You have nothing
00:51:18 It's okay.
00:51:21 Everything's okay.
00:51:39 Wow, I was starving.
00:51:42 - Do you want me
00:51:46 You sure?
00:51:48 I'm still a little weirded out,
00:51:56 - How's Jane?
00:52:01 I mean,
00:52:04 how's her life?
00:52:06 Is she happy?
00:52:08 Is she miserable?
00:52:12 I'd really like to know, and she'd die
00:52:18 [Sighs]
00:52:21 She's really happy.
00:52:24 She thinks she's in love.
00:52:38 Good for her.
00:52:43 How are you?
00:52:52 It's been a long time
00:53:02 I'm great.
00:53:10 I've gotta go to the bathroom.
00:53:25 I'm great.
00:54:00 Man, oh man.
00:54:05 Man, oh man, oh man.
00:54:16 [Gunshot]
00:54:41 [Jane Shudders]
00:55:24 Wow.
00:55:28 [Lester Narrating] I had always
00:55:30 in front of your eyes
00:55:34 First of all,
00:55:37 isn't a second at all.
00:55:40 It stretches on forever,
00:55:42 like an ocean of time.
00:55:46 For me, it was
00:55:49 at Boy Scout camp,
00:55:57 [Gunshot]
00:56:01 And yellow leaves
00:56:04 that lined our street.
00:56:11 [Gunshot]
00:56:15 Or my grandmother's hands
00:56:18 seemed like paper.
00:56:25 [Distant Gunshot]
00:56:27 And the first time
00:56:31 brand-new Firebird.

00:57:21 And... Carolyn.
00:57:28 I guess I could be pretty pissed off
00:57:32 but it's hard to stay mad when
00:57:37 Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing
00:57:42 My heart fills up like a balloon
00:57:47 And then I remember
00:57:51 and stop trying
00:57:54 And then it flows
00:57:58 and I can't feel anything
00:58:01 for every single moment...
00:58:03 of my stupid little life.
00:58:07 You have no idea what
00:58:11 But don't worry.
00:58:14 You will someday.
