Thank you! Thank you very much! |

Thank you! |
| 00:01:18 |
How you all doing tonight? |

It's great to see all of you here. |

Charlie! |

Your mom's here. |
| 00:01:54 |
She's in the dean's office. |
| 00:01:57 |
Good luck, Charlie. Stay out of trouble. |
| 00:02:01 |
MARILYN: I'm not sure I understand. |
| 00:02:05 |
No, Mrs. Bartlett, it's not his grades |
| 00:02:09 |
Look, quite frankly, he is one of |
| 00:02:13 |
albeit, unusual. |
| 00:02:15 |
Well, I'm just not sure |
| 00:02:19 |
Well, this might shed some light. |
| 00:02:25 |
You're expelling him |
| 00:02:29 |
He's been running a laminating press |
| 00:02:33 |
and he has been selling them |
| 00:02:36 |
You have to admit, |
| 00:02:38 |
Look, Mrs. Bartlett, to be honest, |
| 00:02:43 |
He's innovative, he's intelligent. |
| 00:02:47 |
Perhaps this would be |
| 00:02:50 |
No. Mrs. Bartlett, what he did was illegal |
| 00:02:54 |
and we can't overlook that. |
| 00:02:58 |
- Okay. |
| 00:03:00 |
- I understand. |
| 00:03:10 |
Are you mad? |
| 00:03:12 |
You know, I'm not. |
| 00:03:14 |
I just can't fathom why you did it. |
| 00:03:19 |
I mean, really, Charlie, what would |
| 00:03:26 |
Mom, they were just starting |
| 00:03:29 |
You know, I was the guy |
| 00:03:32 |
Well, maybe there's more |
| 00:03:37 |
Like what, specifically? |
| 00:03:40 |
Nothing comes to mind. |
| 00:03:44 |
I guess now we try you living at home |
| 00:03:49 |
I even kept your room |
| 00:03:52 |
Hey, Mom, have you been feeding my fish? |
| 00:03:55 |
Oh, dear. |

Mom? I think I might take |
| 00:04:07 |
Really? I was going to have |
| 00:04:10 |
I know, but I don't think anybody else |
| 00:04:16 |
You're probably right. |
| 00:04:19 |
- Have you taken your Klonopin today? |
| 00:04:21 |
- Where do you suppose I put that? |
| 00:04:27 |
There you are. |

Those were the days |

Well, it's wonderful |

Hold on, The Principal is here. |
| 00:05:41 |
Why do you call me The Principal |
| 00:05:43 |
Pretending to have contempt for you |
| 00:05:46 |

| 00:05:47 |
No, no, no. |
| 00:05:49 |
Okay, what do you want? |
| 00:05:50 |
- I wanna say hi. |
| 00:05:54 |
Fresh crack rock. |
| 00:05:56 |
- God, it's called rock candy. |
| 00:05:58 |
I was eating it decades before |

Okay, everyone, last chance to sign up. |

Yeah. And for everyone who doesn't know, |

SUSAN: And it's Shakespeare, so feel free |
| 00:08:48 |
See you at 4:00, professor. |
| 00:08:52 |
Dense fucking nug, man. |
| 00:08:54 |
Shit, why are you looking at it like that? |

You've done every other time. |

Hi, I'm Charlie. |
| 00:09:06 |
What's that? Is that a briefcase? |
| 00:09:09 |
Actually, I believe it's an attaché case. |
| 00:09:13 |
What's that thing on your jacket mean? |
| 00:09:15 |
Oh, this? |
| 00:09:17 |
Cor ad cor loquitur. It's in Latin. |
| 00:09:21 |
I think the translation is, |
| 00:09:22 |
"Heart speaks to heart," |
| 00:09:26 |
Is he, like, a total faggot or what? Shut up. |
| 00:09:30 |
Is that a rhetorical question? |

You okay? |

Yeah. |

I'm so sick of my parents. |
| 00:10:29 |
I don't see what the big deal is. |
| 00:10:33 |
I mean, what does my mom care |

The squad doesn't care. |

So, which one of Shakespeare's works |
| 00:11:55 |
Actually, I thought I'd do a monologue |
| 00:11:59 |
Misadventures of a Teenage Renegade. |
| 00:12:03 |
(CLEARS THROAT) |
| 00:12:10 |
(IMITATING GIRL'S VOICE) |
| 00:12:11 |
about the first time I had my period. |
| 00:12:15 |
My daddy was driving me back |
| 00:12:18 |
and I turned to him and I said, |
| 00:12:20 |
"Daddy, I think I'm sloughing." |
| 00:12:23 |
And he said, "That's nice, honey." |
| 00:12:27 |
And I realized that he had, |
| 00:12:30 |
like, no idea just what "sloughing" meant. |
| 00:12:36 |
So I explained to him that it meant |
| 00:12:39 |
blood was gushing |
| 00:12:45 |
And he nearly wrecked the car |
| 00:12:47 |
trying to hand me |
| 00:12:50 |
which is not something that you |
| 00:12:52 |
particularly want to stick up your hooch. |
| 00:13:00 |
Great. Thank you. |
| 00:13:02 |
I wasn't quite finished, actually. |
| 00:13:04 |
No. That'll do. Thank you, Charlie. |

Hey, Charlie, what's Latin for, |
| 00:13:30 |
Let's get out of here. |

- MARILYN: Charlie, how'd it go? |
| 00:13:39 |
Did you make any friends? |

| 00:13:46 |
Okay, you can forget about |
| 00:13:49 |
I'm calling Dr. Weathers. |
| 00:13:51 |
Now, your mom tells me that you've been |

That's the best euphemism |
| 00:13:59 |
for getting the living crap |
| 00:14:02 |
And why do you suppose |
| 00:14:06 |
I don't know. I'm abnormal, I guess. |
| 00:14:09 |
You don't feel normal? |
| 00:14:11 |
My family has a psychiatrist on call. |
| 00:14:17 |
How are your classes? |
| 00:14:19 |
They're all right. |
| 00:14:20 |
I mean, I have trouble |
| 00:14:23 |
And what is it that you think about? |
| 00:14:26 |
I kind of have this one fantasy. |
| 00:14:29 |
Sexual? |
| 00:14:31 |
No, not really. |
| 00:14:34 |
It's just this fantasy of me |
| 00:14:37 |
and there are all these kids |
| 00:14:40 |

| 00:14:44 |
And so, I step up to the mike and I say, |
| 00:14:47 |
"How you all doing tonight?" |
| 00:14:49 |
And then they start cheering and cheering. |
| 00:14:52 |
"It's great to see all of you. |

Are you angry that he's gone? |

- Gas prices. |
| 00:15:33 |
I also worry a lot in class |
| 00:15:40 |
Charlie, I'm going to write you |
| 00:15:44 |
and what I'd like you to do |
| 00:15:47 |
and if after a few days |
| 00:15:50 |
then I would like to see |
| 00:15:54 |
So you think I have ADD, or... |
| 00:15:56 |
We won't know that until the Ritalin |
| 00:16:01 |
You mean, if I take the medicine |
| 00:16:05 |
we'll know I have ADD? |
| 00:16:07 |
That's the idea. |

Len. |
| 00:25:01 |
Listen, Murph, I've had a lot of time |
| 00:25:06 |
Yeah? What did you come up with, genius? |
| 00:25:09 |
I think you're angry, man. |
| 00:25:11 |
What have I got to be angry about? |
| 00:25:17 |
Maybe you got slapped around |
| 00:25:19 |
for lunch money on your way to the bus. |
| 00:25:21 |
Maybe your pop's gotta |
| 00:25:24 |
so he can plow roads |
| 00:25:26 |
Then when he gets home, you're just |
| 00:25:28 |
a distant third to Sloppy Joes |
| 00:25:32 |
Maybe the cheerleaders call you |
| 00:25:36 |
Maybe it's because the school's |
| 00:25:39 |
and your teachers are really good |
| 00:25:47 |
Maybe it's none of these things. |
| 00:25:51 |
Maybe it's all of them. |
| 00:25:58 |
- What do you want from me? |
| 00:26:05 |
Okay, maybe you're not a total tool, |
| 00:26:08 |
but guys like you and guys like me |
| 00:26:12 |
- Why's that? |
| 00:26:16 |
- You drive around in a limo. |
| 00:26:20 |
Look, I got 90 pills of Ritalin |
| 00:26:24 |
Maybe we're just gonna have to |
| 00:26:28 |
What do these do? |
| 00:26:29 |
Floods the brain |
| 00:26:33 |
It gets you high. |
| 00:26:36 |
So, I figure $10 a pill, right? |
| 00:26:37 |
We split the profit, |
| 00:26:38 |
which means you make almost 500 bucks |

SUSAN: So, 1:00, right? |
| 00:26:56 |
What? What happens at 1:00? |
| 00:26:58 |
- My curfew, at 1:00. |
| 00:27:01 |
The dance, Dad. I'm going to the dance. |

| 00:30:57 |
So, what's up? |
| 00:31:01 |
Is it true that you can get a hold |
| 00:31:05 |
Yeah, I guess. Why? What's going on? |
| 00:31:11 |
I'm, like, totally depressed. |
| 00:31:14 |
I've been having these spells, |
| 00:31:17 |
mostly in class. |
| 00:31:21 |
What does it feel like? |
| 00:31:23 |
It feels like a heart attack. |
| 00:31:26 |
But I'm thinking, you know, |
| 00:31:32 |
And I can't go to my parents about it, |
| 00:31:33 |
because they already think I'm a freak, |
| 00:31:35 |
Look, I'm not a doctor, but... |
| 00:31:39 |
I don't know if Ritalin's gonna help you. |
| 00:31:43 |
Do you know what would? |
| 00:31:45 |
I'm not sure. |
| 00:31:50 |
But I'm gonna find out. |
| 00:31:52 |
I'm gonna work this out, I promise. |
| 00:31:56 |
Yeah. |
| 00:31:58 |
Thanks. |
| 00:32:26 |
I get short of breath and dizzy, |
| 00:32:31 |
I mean, sometimes it feels like |
| 00:32:34 |
Yeah, we call that a panic attack. |
| 00:32:37 |
Oh, is that what they call it? |
| 00:32:39 |
Well, what can we do? |
| 00:32:40 |
Well, I think maybe |
| 00:32:44 |
Xanax and Zoloft. |
| 00:32:50 |
Okay, so, here's the thing. |
| 00:32:54 |
there's not one case of anyone dying |
| 00:32:59 |
- No? |
| 00:33:01 |
So the next time you start to feel anxious, |

| 00:33:32 |
- Thank you, Charlie. |
| 00:33:50 |
Charlie, I spoke to Dr. Weathers today. |
| 00:33:53 |
He said you may have not only ADD, |
| 00:33:57 |
but a whole battery |
| 00:34:00 |
that will likely plague you for life. |
| 00:34:03 |
(SCOFFS) |
| 00:34:05 |
Sounds a bit melodramatic, |
| 00:34:07 |
That's what I said. |
| 00:34:08 |
Then he went on to imply that |
| 00:34:13 |
I was rather perturbed. |
| 00:34:15 |
I mean, look at me. |
| 00:34:20 |
Can't argue with that. |
| 00:34:23 |
Are you making any friends at all? |
| 00:34:27 |
Working on it. |
| 00:34:32 |
He says he doesn't want to see me. |
| 00:34:34 |
I can't stop crying. |
| 00:34:36 |
Well, sometimes people say one thing |
| 00:34:41 |
He called me a loser, |
| 00:34:45 |
You have to understand that |
| 00:34:49 |
He hates his life so much that... |
| 00:34:51 |
All I wanna do is drop acid. |
| 00:34:56 |
Duh, dude. This place sucks. |
| 00:34:58 |
But I just worry that one day |
| 00:35:01 |
and wish we'd done something different. |
| 00:35:03 |
So maybe you should... |
| 00:35:04 |
Get breast implants. |
| 00:35:05 |
I mean, a lot of my friends |
| 00:35:07 |
Well, that's up to you, |
| 00:35:10 |
it's kind of a turnoff when a girl |
| 00:35:13 |
I'm not saying that I'm gay. |
| 00:35:15 |
So what if, you know, |
| 00:35:19 |
You know, this sucks, man. |
| 00:35:21 |
Well, at least you're attracted |
| 00:35:24 |
I mean, if you weren't, |
| 00:35:28 |
I feel very productive, |
| 00:35:30 |
I lose weight, |
| 00:35:34 |
and promiscuity. |
| 00:35:37 |
Wow. What I'd like to do is... |
| 00:35:39 |
Introduce you to some of |
| 00:35:42 |
like Prozac. |
| 00:35:43 |
What else can you tell me about... |
| 00:35:45 |
Feelings of depersonalization |
| 00:35:49 |
Anger and aggression. Irritability. |
| 00:35:51 |
Obsessive behavior is I guess |

Pretty enlightening. |

Very interesting resume, Charlie. |

Is there a private school |

Sorry. |

But I'm not always the principal. |

- Hello. |
| 00:48:35 |
So, how does this work? |
| 00:48:40 |
Well, he's bound |
| 00:48:43 |
But he can leave if you want. |
| 00:48:45 |
- Yeah, maybe just for this first time. |
| 00:48:49 |
Sorry, Murph. |
| 00:48:51 |
Yeah, yeah, I heard you. |
| 00:48:53 |
It's not like |
| 00:48:55 |
So, what did my dad want? |
| 00:48:59 |
He just wanted to welcome me back. |
| 00:49:02 |
He didn't say anything about me |
| 00:49:06 |
Not really. |
| 00:49:08 |

What question? |

Charlie, I don't know. |
| 00:49:19 |
All right. Well, I guess the obvious one is |

You mean, besides the fact that this |
| 00:49:27 |
Okay. |
| 00:49:30 |
How do you feel about that? |
| 00:49:32 |
I think it actually bothers him |
| 00:49:36 |
But there was the night. |
| 00:49:39 |
What's "the night"? |
| 00:49:42 |
The night he found out |
| 00:49:45 |
He was plastered, waving this.38 revolver |
| 00:49:53 |
Wow. |
| 00:49:58 |
So, your mom left and you stayed, right? |
| 00:50:02 |
Yeah, pretty much. |

Well, he promised to get rid of the gun, |
| 00:50:08 |
and then he went into treatment |

I guess what I'm trying to say is it just... |

It kind of sucks having one parent ditch |

Who's gonna fix that, that voodoo? |

All right, first of all, I'm sick of football. |
| 00:53:35 |
I mean, zero desire to do this in college. |
| 00:53:41 |
What do you want to do? |
| 00:53:42 |
Try not to laugh, |
| 00:53:45 |
but I was thinking of |

That's cool. |
| 00:53:53 |
No way. Quitting football isn't gonna |

Yes. The harder the question, |
