00:00:49 BRYCE: All I ever wanted
00:00:53 It all began in the summer of 1957,
00:00:56 STEVEN: Here we are.
00:00:58 - What do you guys think?
00:01:00 BRYCE: It's cool.
00:01:03 Just you wait.
00:01:05 BRYCE: Let's see what's inside.
00:01:07 Why don't, uh, you and I
00:01:10 ...and the womenfolk here
00:01:14 Okay, Dad.
00:01:16 BRYCE: For me, it was the beginning
00:01:18 ...more than half a decade of
00:01:24 - Hi, I'm Juli Baker.
00:01:26 Don't you want some help?
00:01:28 No. There's some
00:01:30 - How about this one?
00:01:33 Run home. Your mother's
00:01:36 Oh, no, my mom knows where I am.
00:01:39 BRYCE: It didn't take long to realize
00:01:42 - It's crowded in here with three people.
00:01:44 BRYCE: Of any kind.
00:01:49 Bryce, isn't it time for you
00:01:52 Huh?
00:01:55 Oh, yeah.
00:01:57 BRYCE:
00:02:00 I was about to tell her to get lost
00:02:08 I couldn't believe it.
00:02:10 There I was holding hands
00:02:14 - How did I get into this mess?
00:02:18 - I see you've met my son.
00:02:20 BRYCE: Finally, I did the only manly
00:02:29 [BELL RINGING]
00:02:32 However, my troubles were far from over.
00:02:35 The minute I walked
00:02:38 Bryce? You're here.
00:02:40 BRYCE:
00:02:42 School would not be a sanctuary.
00:02:45 [CHILDREN LAUGHING]
00:02:46 Hey, Bryce, where's your girlfriend?
00:02:49 BRYCE:
00:02:51 Hey, Bryce,
00:02:56 GIRLS [SINGING]:
00:02:59 K-l-S-S-l-N-G
00:03:03 BRYCE:
00:03:05 GIRL:
00:03:06 BRYCE:
00:03:08 But finally, in the sixth grade,
00:03:11 I hatched the plan.
00:03:14 Sherry.
00:03:16 Sherry, wait up.
00:03:18 Hi, Bryce. Heh.
00:03:20 BRYCE:
00:03:21 I was wondering if you wanted to go...
00:03:23 BRYCE: To full appreciate
00:03:26 ...you have to understand
00:03:29 ...though I never understood why.
00:03:31 Sherry was nice, friendly
00:03:35 At first, my mother wouldn't let me
00:03:38 BRYCE: The idea was that Sherry
00:03:40 ...maybe we'd walk around together,
00:03:45 But I still can't get the hoops till I'm 16.
00:03:47 Oh, that's a shame.
00:03:48 So Melanie wanted to get her ears pierced,
00:03:52 So she threw a fit and smashed
00:03:57 [LAUGHS]
00:03:58 ...and she got grounded, so now she can't
00:04:02 BRYCE:
00:04:05 What are you doing
00:04:07 BRYCE: That is, until my supposed
00:04:11 ...took an interest in Sherry himself.
00:04:13 I was thinking of showing how split ends
00:04:17 That's fascinating.
00:04:19 BRYCE: Loyalty gave way to desire
00:04:22 ...told Sherry what I was up to.
00:04:24 SHERRY:
00:04:25 BRYCE:
00:04:27 Word got back to Juli, and pretty soon
00:04:32 Only this time it was worse.
00:04:34 She started sniffing me.
00:04:37 That's right, sniffing me.
00:04:39 What was that all about?
00:04:41 My only consolation
00:04:44 Junior high, bigger school.
00:04:46 Maybe we'd be in different classes
00:04:52 JULl:
00:04:56 It was those eyes,
00:05:00 You wanna push this one together?
00:05:03 JULl: His family had just moved
00:05:05 ...and I'd gone over to help them.
00:05:07 I'd been in the van all of two minutes
00:05:11 I could see he didn't wanna go.
00:05:13 So I chased after him to see if we could
00:05:20 The next thing I know,
00:05:22 ...and looking right into my eyes.
00:05:25 My heart stopped.
00:05:27 Was this it?
00:05:28 Would this be my first kiss?
00:05:31 - But then his mother came out.
00:05:34 JULl: And he was so embarrassed,
00:05:39 I went to bed that night thinking
00:05:42 I mean, it was clear he had feelings for me,
00:05:47 My mother said boys were like that.
00:05:50 - So I decided to help him out.
00:05:54 [CHILDREN GIGGLING]
00:05:56 JULl: I would give him plenty
00:05:59 By the sixth grade,
00:06:02 Then Sherry Stalls entered the picture.
00:06:06 Sherry Stalls was nothing but a whiny,
00:06:10 All hair and no substance.
00:06:12 And there she was...
00:06:13 ...holding hands with Bryce. My Bryce.
00:06:16 The one who was walking around
00:06:19 My solution was to ignore her.
00:06:22 ...would eventually see through
00:06:26 It took all of a week.
00:06:30 She didn't take it well.
00:06:34 Now that Bryce was out of Sherry's
00:06:37 - Hi, Juli.
00:06:40 JULl:
00:06:43 ...and his hair,
00:06:46 I couldn't get enough of it.
00:06:48 I spent the whole year
00:06:51 ...and wondering
00:06:57 BRYCE:
00:06:59 But the biggest one
00:07:02 It happened at home.
00:07:04 My grandfather came to live with us.
00:07:14 Mom said he stared like that
00:07:17 That was not something Grandpa
00:07:21 As a matter of fact, he never talked
00:07:25 That is, until Juli appeared
00:07:28 - Oh, Bryce. May I speak with you?
00:07:32 Have a seat, son.
00:07:38 Tell me about your friend Juli Baker.
00:07:41 Juli. She's not exactly my friend.
00:07:43 Oh. Why's that?
00:07:46 Why do you wanna know?
00:07:49 BRYCE: Now, Juli Baker did not
00:07:52 ...for being an eighth-grade Einstein.
00:07:54 No, she got front-page coverage because
00:08:00 Juli Baker and that stupid sycamore tree.
00:08:03 She always thought it was God's gift
00:08:07 Hey, Bryce. Wanna come climb the tree
00:08:10 No, thanks.
00:08:12 Bryce. Come up here. It's fun.
00:08:15 - You can see everything.
00:08:18 My dad needs me to help him fix...
00:08:24 ...a thing.
00:08:26 BRYCE:
00:08:27 Climb up a tree with Juli Baker.
00:08:30 I'd be dragged right back
00:08:32 Bryce and Juli sitting in a tree.
00:08:35 Why don't you just make me eat lima beans
00:08:39 JULl:
00:08:42 Two blocks.
00:08:47 One block away.
00:08:49 - Like that's valuable information.
00:08:52 I like to think there's at least a chance
00:08:57 I think the tree looks particularly beautiful
00:09:01 If by "beautiful" you mean "unbelievably
00:09:08 You're just visually challenged.
00:09:13 BRYCE:
00:09:15 "Visually challenged"?
00:09:16 This from the girl who lived in a house
00:09:21 They had bushes growing over windows
00:09:26 It bugged my dad bigtime.
00:09:28 Oh, there he is.
00:09:29 The bricklayer who thinks he's a painter.
00:09:34 He's gotta make a painting of it?
00:09:35 No, he does landscapes.
00:09:39 People say they're beautiful.
00:09:40 Landscapes? Let me tell you something.
00:09:43 The world would have
00:09:45 ...if he'd do a little landscaping
00:09:49 PATSY: I feel bad for his wife.
00:09:53 Because of that, one of the two of them
00:09:56 Yeah, fine.
00:10:00 BRYCE: As annoying as the yard was
00:10:02 ...it was nothing compared to how annoying
00:10:06 JULl:
00:10:08 BRYCE: Every morning
00:10:10 ...of her blow-by-blow traffic report.
00:10:12 JULl:
00:10:14 WOMAN:
00:10:15 Why do they call it The Three Stooges?
00:10:17 - I mean, there's five of them.
00:10:20 Well, yeah, there's Moe, Larry, Curly,
00:10:23 - Yeah, but they only have three at a time.
00:10:26 You know, I hate Curly Joe.
00:10:30 MAN: Listen, girl,
00:10:33 You are trespassing and obstructing
00:10:36 GARRETT: What's going on?
00:10:38 ...or we're gonna cut you down.
00:10:42 They won't cut it down
00:10:44 - Bus, bus, bus.
00:10:46 They wanted to cut down her tree.
00:10:48 I couldn't understand why
00:10:51 ...meant so much to her.
00:10:54 BRYCE: I felt bad for her.
00:10:56 BRYCE:
00:10:58 GARRETT:
00:11:00 CHET:
00:11:04 You'd have to know Juli.
00:11:06 Well, I'd like to.
00:11:07 Why?
00:11:09 That girl has an iron backbone.
00:11:11 Why don't you invite her over sometime?
00:11:14 An iron backbone?
00:11:16 She's just stubborn...
00:11:18 ...and she's pushy beyond belief.
00:11:20 Is that so?
00:11:21 And she's been stalking me
00:11:24 Well, a girl like that
00:11:28 Lucky them.
00:11:31 Read this.
00:11:32 Without prejudice.
00:11:39 BRYCE: Like I needed to know
00:11:44 Juli wasn't at the bus stop
00:11:48 Or the morning after that.
00:11:50 She was at school,
00:11:52 - Little Joe? He's got so much makeup on...
00:11:55 BRYCE:
00:11:58 I mean, isn't that what
00:12:00 But still, I felt bad for her.
00:12:04 I was gonna tell her I was sorry,
00:12:08 ...that's the last thing I needed:
00:12:10 Juli Baker thinking I missed her.
00:12:16 I see why you like to come out here.
00:12:19 Would you mind explaining it
00:12:21 JULl:
00:12:24 Or really, I loved to hear him talk
00:12:27 I learned a lot about my dad that way.
00:12:29 He told me all sorts of things...
00:12:31 ...like how he got his first job delivering hay
00:12:35 Then one day he surprised me.
00:12:37 What's going on with you
00:12:43 What do you mean? Nothing.
00:12:45 Oh, okay.
00:12:47 My mistake.
00:12:49 Why would you even think that?
00:12:51 No reason.
00:12:53 Just that you...
00:12:56 ...talk about him all the time.
00:12:58 I do?
00:13:00 Mm-hm.
00:13:05 I don't know.
00:13:08 I guess it's something about his eyes.
00:13:11 Or maybe his smile.
00:13:14 But what about him?
00:13:16 - What?
00:13:20 What does that mean?
00:13:22 A painting is more
00:13:27 A cow by itself is just a cow.
00:13:30 A meadow by itself is just grass,
00:13:36 And the sun peeking through the trees
00:13:41 But you put them all together...
00:13:44 ...and it can be magic.
00:13:48 JULl: I didn't really understand
00:13:51 ...when I was up in the sycamore tree.
00:13:54 I was rescuing a kite.
00:13:56 It was a long way up,
00:14:00 And the higher I got,
00:14:04 I began to notice
00:14:07 Like sunshine and wild grass.
00:14:10 I couldn't stop breathing it in...
00:14:13 ...filling my lungs
00:14:17 Hey, you found my kite.
00:14:18 Bryce, you should come up here.
00:14:22 It's so beautiful.
00:14:23 I can't. I sprained my, um...
00:14:27 I have a rash.
00:14:30 JULl: From that moment on,
00:14:34 I could sit there for hours,
00:14:38 Some days the sunsets
00:14:41 And some days
00:14:45 ...setting fire to the clouds
00:14:48 It was during one of those sunsets
00:14:51 ...of the whole being greater
00:14:53 ...moved from my head to my heart.
00:14:57 Some days I would get there extra early
00:15:01 One morning
00:15:03 ...of how the streaks of light
00:15:06 ...so I could tell my dad...
00:15:08 ...when I heard a noise below.
00:15:11 Excuse me.
00:15:12 Excuse me. I'm sorry, but you can't
00:15:15 Hey, what are you doing up there?
00:15:17 You can't be up there,
00:15:20 - The tree?
00:15:23 - But who told you, you could cut it down?
00:15:27 Why?
00:15:29 He's gonna build a house,
00:15:31 - So come on, girl, we got work to do.
00:15:36 Listen, girl.
00:15:39 You are trespassing and obstructing
00:15:43 Now either you come down,
00:15:46 Go ahead. Cut me down.
00:15:48 I'm not coming down.
00:15:52 Bryce. You guys, come up here with me.
00:15:54 They won't cut it down
00:15:57 Bryce, please don't let them do this.
00:15:59 Come on, you guys.
00:16:02 Bryce, please. You don't have to
00:16:07 Bryce, please. Please.
00:16:11 JULl:
00:16:17 It seemed like the whole town was there.
00:16:19 But still I wouldn't move.
00:16:21 Then my father showed up.
00:16:23 He talked a fireman into letting him come up
00:16:29 Sweetie, it's time to come down.
00:16:32 Daddy, please don't let them do this.
00:16:34 - Sweetie...
00:16:36 You can see everything.
00:16:40 No view is worth my daughter's safety.
00:16:45 I can't.
00:16:47 Julianna, it's time to come down now.
00:16:51 Please, Daddy.
00:16:54 It's time.
00:17:02 JULl:
00:17:05 I must've cried for two weeks straight.
00:17:10 Oh, sure, I went to school
00:17:13 ...but nothing seemed to matter.
00:17:14 TEACHER: Juli?
00:17:18 Do you know the answer?
00:17:20 Uh, the Peloponnesian War?
00:17:23 I'm sure that's the answer
00:17:25 ...but I was looking for the area
00:17:28 [CHILDREN LAUGH]
00:17:31 JULl: Somehow, rhomboids
00:17:34 ...didn't seem so important.
00:17:37 I rode my bike so I wouldn't have to pass
00:17:40 ...that used to be the earth's
00:17:45 But no matter what I did,
00:17:48 [KNOCKING ON DOOR]
00:17:52 Are you okay?
00:17:54 It was just a tree.
00:17:57 No, it wasn't just a tree.
00:18:06 I never want you to forget how you felt
00:18:13 Thanks, Dad.
00:18:19 JULl:
00:18:21 ...and the last thing I saw
00:18:24 And once I could look at it
00:18:27 ...I saw more than the tree
00:18:32 I saw the day that my view of things
00:18:35 And I wondered,
00:18:45 BRYCE:
00:18:48 I mean, I could always just take them
00:18:51 That is, until one day
00:18:54 ...when my feelings about eggs
00:18:56 [BAND PLAYING ROCK MUSIC]
00:18:58 Hey, hey, hey. Guys.
00:19:03 BRYCE: I mean, if a slimy reptile
00:19:05 ...there was certainly no place for them
00:19:09 MATT:
00:19:11 She doesn't even have to chew.
00:19:15 BRYCE: I could've gone my whole life
00:19:18 ...if it hadn't been for Lynetta.
00:19:20 She had a major-league thing
00:19:22 I think it's gross.
00:19:23 BRYCE: He and Juli's brothers,
00:19:26 And Lynetta would watch them practice.
00:19:28 MATT:
00:19:30 How about that, huh, Bryce?
00:19:32 Yeah. Neat.
00:19:34 So, Brycie, how do you think
00:19:37 - Stomach acid?
00:19:40 Wait, everybody quiet. Here he goes.
00:19:43 [SHELL CRACKING]
00:19:46 Eggs over easy.
00:19:48 Gross. Gross, gross, gross.
00:19:50 Wait, wait.
00:19:53 LYNETTA:
00:19:55 Gross.
00:19:57 BRYCE: I tried to be casual about it,
00:20:00 I started having bad dreams.
00:20:02 I'd be trapped inside a huge egg...
00:20:05 ...and this monster would open his jaws
00:20:08 I'd wake up just in time.
00:20:10 [KNOCKING ON DOOR]
00:20:13 Then the real nightmare began.
00:20:15 Hi, Bryce. I brought these over
00:20:18 - My chickens are laying eggs.
00:20:20 You remember Abby and Bonnie and Clyde
00:20:24 - The ones I hatched for the science fair.
00:20:28 BRYCE:
00:20:30 She totally dominated the fair.
00:20:33 And get this, her project
00:20:38 I mean, here I had a live-action
00:20:42 ...and all anyone cared about
00:20:44 ...breaking out of their boring shells.
00:20:46 JULl:
00:20:48 WOMAN 1: It's hatching.
00:20:50 WOMAN 1:
00:20:52 BRYCE:
00:20:55 I've never been one to dwell.
00:20:56 WOMAN 2:
00:20:58 BRYCE: But that didn't mean
00:21:00 I think it was very sweet of Juli
00:21:03 I don't care.
00:21:05 Yeah, how do we know there's no chicks
00:21:08 I used to eat farm-fresh eggs
00:21:12 Yeah, well, that's all well and good...
00:21:14 ...but what if we crack one open
00:21:17 Do they have a rooster? If they don't
00:21:21 And if they had a rooster, we'd know.
00:21:25 Maybe they got it de-yodeled.
00:21:27 "De-yodeled"?
00:21:28 You know. De-cock-a-doodle-doo'd.
00:21:30 What the hell are you talking about?
00:21:32 Like they de-bark dogs.
00:21:35 Bryce, why don't you just ask Juli?
00:21:38 - I don't think that...
00:21:40 - You afraid to talk to her?
00:21:42 [MIMICS CHICKEN]
00:21:44 I know you are, but what am I?
00:21:46 - Okay. Just talk to her and find out.
00:21:49 How do you tell if one's a rooster?
00:21:52 - Well, a rooster's bigger. Longer feathers.
00:21:55 They've got that red stuff
00:21:57 - And around their neck too.
00:22:02 Although, come to think of it,
00:22:05 Just not as much.
00:22:07 BRYCE:
00:22:09 ...was the cornerstone of our plan
00:22:12 The balance of which involved
00:22:16 - Come on, come on.
00:22:22 Over here.
00:22:30 BRYCE:
00:22:32 GARRETT:
00:22:38 [CLUCKING]
00:22:41 BRYCE:
00:22:42 GARRETT:
00:22:44 How can you tell?
00:22:46 It just does.
00:22:47 BRYCE:
00:22:51 - Shh, shh!
00:22:53 Juli.
00:22:54 JULl:
00:22:56 Go on, there you go.
00:22:59 - Here, guys. Go on.
00:23:01 - There's no rooster?
00:23:04 How can you tell?
00:23:06 - Well, none of them are strutting.
00:23:08 - Roosters strut?
00:23:10 - What did I just say?
00:23:13 GARRETT: Plus, hardly any of them
00:23:16 JULl: What are you doing?
00:23:20 They're all chickens.
00:23:22 I'm proud of you, Bryce.
00:23:23 - You overcame your fear.
00:23:26 - You talked to her.
00:23:29 It's no big deal.
00:23:30 That's what she told you?
00:23:33 Yeah.
00:23:35 She's a genius. You're both genius...
00:23:40 A rooster's a chicken. The question is:
00:23:42 Is one of them a rooster
00:23:46 BRYCE:
00:23:50 Then it hit me.
00:23:51 Garrett didn't know jack shit
00:23:55 - Do roosters strut?
00:23:58 What does that have to do
00:24:00 They're all hens.
00:24:04 Well, the main thing is the eggs are okay.
00:24:07 It's all settled.
00:24:08 BRYCE:
00:24:10 There was no way
00:24:12 ...that had anything to do
00:24:15 I'm not eating them.
00:24:17 Well, why not?
00:24:18 Have you seen their yard? It's...
00:24:20 There's not even any grass.
00:24:25 Ew. Gross. Salmonella.
00:24:29 Do you suppose
00:24:32 - It's not very likely.
00:24:35 What do we do with the eggs?
00:24:36 Give them back.
00:24:38 - Give them back? To Juli?
00:24:41 You talked to her before, right?
00:24:44 Well, what do I say?
00:24:47 Tell her we don't eat eggs.
00:24:50 Uh, we're allergic to them or something.
00:24:53 Come on, use your brains.
00:24:56 BRYCE:
00:24:58 Besides, even a seventh grader would know
00:25:03 But I didn't wanna
00:25:05 So that left me with only one option.
00:25:08 And thus another near-death
00:25:10 ...in my ongoing saga with Juli Baker
00:25:14 Until one week later.
00:25:15 Hi, Bryce. Brought you some more eggs.
00:25:17 Wow.
00:25:19 - Thanks.
00:25:23 Do you even have to ask?
00:25:25 Great. See you at school.
00:25:28 BRYCE: What I hoped would be
00:25:30 ...was just the beginning of a life consumed
00:25:35 Every morning
00:25:37 ...so if she happened to come, I could whip
00:25:41 Thanks.
00:25:45 BRYCE: Then I'd dump the eggs
00:25:47 And why? Why couldn't I just face her?
00:25:51 Why couldn't I just say:
00:25:52 "No, thanks. Don't want them.
00:25:56 Was I really afraid
00:26:00 ...or was I just afraid of her?
00:26:05 Now, you wanna make sure you get it...
00:26:07 JULl: When Mrs. Brubeck first suggested
00:26:11 ...I was less than excited.
00:26:14 That is, until I saw my first sign of life.
00:26:17 Is that it?
00:26:19 - That's the embryo. Heh.
00:26:23 - It looks like a bean.
00:26:26 Let's try the other ones.
00:26:27 JULl:
00:26:29 All the eggs were alive.
00:26:31 There were, like, little bean babies
00:26:35 On the day of the fair,
00:26:38 What are the odds?
00:26:40 This year's top prize goes to Juli Baker...
00:26:42 ...for her wonderful project:
00:26:45 "A Chicken is Born."
00:26:49 JULl:
00:26:51 And that was cool,
00:26:56 There you go. There you go, guys.
00:26:57 JULl: My mom wasn't crazy
00:27:00 But I begged and pleaded.
00:27:02 I told her I would take care of everything.
00:27:05 Where's Clyde?
00:27:09 Clyde?
00:27:12 Hey, Clyde. What's the matter?
00:27:14 Are you okay? Aren't you hungry?
00:27:17 Come on. Come here.
00:27:20 Come here.
00:27:23 Hey, you're not Clyde. You're Clydette.
00:27:28 Mom!
00:27:30 JULl: As it turned out, my hens
00:27:35 At first we tried to keep up...
00:27:37 ...but after a month of boiling,
00:27:40 ...like that movie The Blob,
00:27:44 Then opportunity in the form
00:27:47 STEUBY:
00:27:51 If you ever have any extra,
00:27:56 - Really?
00:27:58 And I happen to know that Mrs. Helms
00:28:03 - Great.
00:28:06 - Thanks, Mrs. Steuby.
00:28:10 JULl: Between Mrs. Steuby and Mrs. Helms,
00:28:14 Then I realized that Mrs. Loski
00:28:17 But I didn't think it would be right
00:28:20 She had been such a good neighbor,
00:28:23 ...giving my mother a ride
00:28:26 ...it was the least I could do.
00:28:28 Besides, if I happened to run into Bryce,
00:28:33 Hi, Bryce.
00:28:34 JULl: By the third time I brought eggs over
00:28:37 ...I realized Bryce was waiting for me.
00:28:38 Waiting to pull open the door and say,
00:28:42 And in return,
00:28:45 ...with the world's most dazzling eyes.
00:28:47 Thanks, Juli. See you at school.
00:28:50 JULl:
00:28:52 Until the day it wasn't.
00:28:54 It was two weeks after the sycamore tree
00:28:57 ...and I was just starting
00:29:03 Hey, Juli. Right on schedule.
00:29:06 Yeah, well, neither rain nor sleet.
00:29:08 - Huh?
00:29:11 Oh. Right.
00:29:17 So, um, will you start
00:29:21 I don't know.
00:29:24 It doesn't look so bad anymore.
00:29:32 Well, um, I better get ready for school.
00:29:35 Guess I'll see you there.
00:29:37 See you.
00:29:40 JULl:
00:29:42 Maybe it was time
00:29:44 After all, didn't he just tell me
00:29:48 Could it be that Bryce Loski
00:29:53 [DOOR OPENS]
00:29:57 Juli? What are you still doing here?
00:30:00 I was just thinking.
00:30:03 It's pickup day. The cans are in front.
00:30:05 I know. You need some help?
00:30:08 No. Maybe I'll do it later.
00:30:10 Are those my eggs?
00:30:14 Yeah. Yeah, I dropped them.
00:30:17 They're not broken.
00:30:19 Why are you throwing them away?
00:30:24 Don't you want them?
00:30:27 It wasn't me.
00:30:30 Risk? What risk?
00:30:32 Salmonella.
00:30:33 What? He's afraid of being poisoned?
00:30:36 Well, Juli, I mean, look at your back yard.
00:30:40 It's, like, covered in turds.
00:30:42 That's not true.
00:30:47 We just didn't wanna hurt your feelings.
00:30:52 Have you always thrown them away?
00:30:58 You know, Mrs. Steuby and Mrs. Helms
00:31:02 - They do?
00:31:05 I didn't know.
00:31:07 How could you?
00:31:10 I'm sorry.
00:31:13 No, you're not.
00:31:31 BRYCE:
00:31:33 ...that I'd traded in my old problems
00:31:35 ...for a whole set of new ones.
00:31:38 It was actually worse having her mad at me
00:31:43 The way she ignored me
00:31:45 ...that I'd been a jerk.
00:31:51 Then one day I was coming home
00:31:54 ...and things got weird.
00:31:56 CHET: Don't be so timid.
00:31:59 JULl: Like this?
00:32:01 BRYCE:
00:32:03 All I ever saw him wear was slippers.
00:32:09 I couldn't stop looking over there.
00:32:11 And the more I looked, the madder I got.
00:32:15 My grandfather had already said
00:32:17 ...than he'd said to me in the whole time
00:32:21 I was pretty sure
00:32:25 And what was his deal with Juli Baker?
00:32:29 [KNOCKING ON DOOR]
00:32:33 Hi, Grandpa.
00:32:37 Juli told me about the eggs.
00:32:41 You know, Bryce...
00:32:42 ...one's character is set at an early age.
00:32:46 I'd hate to see you swim out so far
00:32:49 Sir?
00:32:51 It's about honesty, son.
00:32:54 Sometimes a little discomfort
00:32:57 ...can save a whole lot of pain
00:33:13 BRYCE: When it came to holding a grudge,
00:33:19 All week I tried to approach her
00:33:21 She'd always find some way to duck me.
00:33:24 And whenever she was in her yard,
00:33:30 Finally, one Saturday I saw my opening.
00:33:35 My grandfather had gone into town
00:33:38 I guess the yard work
00:33:43 BRYCE:
00:33:47 Thanks. Chet did most of it.
00:33:53 I'm sorry for what I did.
00:33:58 I just don't get it, Bryce.
00:34:03 I don't know. It was dumb.
00:34:05 And I shouldn't have said anything
00:34:07 It wasn't right.
00:34:11 Maybe it's all for the best.
00:34:14 I mean, look, I learned so much from Chet,
00:34:19 You're lucky.
00:34:21 I don't even have grandparents anymore.
00:34:25 Oh.
00:34:28 I feel sorry for him.
00:34:31 He misses your grandma.
00:34:34 Can you believe it?
00:34:37 - What?
00:34:40 But he meant it in a nice way.
00:34:45 Yeah.
00:34:47 Well...
00:34:48 Good luck with the grass.
00:34:53 Thanks.
00:34:58 I guess I'll see you around.
00:35:00 I guess so.
00:35:13 [BONANZA THEME PLAYING]
00:35:17 BRYCE: While Juli's acceptance of
00:35:20 ...at least the eggs thing
00:35:23 The first time in months
00:35:30 Where you going
00:35:33 Skyler's.
00:35:34 Matt and Mark are bringing over recording
00:35:38 Demo? Like they know how
00:35:41 - You don't even know them.
00:35:45 - You don't know anything.
00:35:48 - I'm late.
00:35:50 BRYCE:
00:36:01 Is that girl working you too hard?
00:36:05 That girl's name is Juli.
00:36:10 You've developed
00:36:12 Steven.
00:36:14 No, Patsy. Just wanna find out
00:36:18 ...to befriend a complete stranger...
00:36:20 ...when he won't throw a baseball around
00:36:23 - It's okay, Dad.
00:36:27 Juli reminds him of Grandma.
00:36:28 Of Renee? Heh.
00:36:31 That's ridiculous.
00:36:33 You know why the Bakers
00:36:36 Yeah, because he's too busy
00:36:41 If you had a brother with a severe handicap,
00:36:44 What the hell
00:36:47 Juli's father has a retarded brother.
00:36:50 So what? He's not the gardener,
00:36:53 - Steven.
00:36:55 It was a joke.
00:36:57 You know,
00:37:00 ...and they manage
00:37:03 I don't know where their pride
00:37:06 They don't own that house.
00:37:08 The landlord's supposed to maintain it.
00:37:10 Mr. Baker puts every extra penny he has
00:37:15 Don't they have government facilities
00:37:19 Maybe they thought that a private facility
00:37:21 Either way, it's not our fault that their
00:37:26 It has nothing to do with chromosomes.
00:37:29 When Juli's uncle was born, he had
00:37:33 If he'd had enough oxygen, he would've
00:37:41 Goddamn it, Chet.
00:37:44 - Patsy? Patsy?
00:37:46 [DOOR SLAMS]
00:37:48 Sorry about that.
00:37:51 Why is Mom so upset?
00:37:56 Because...
00:37:58 ...but for the grace of God...
00:38:01 ...your mother could be standing
00:38:04 Did her brother have the cord
00:38:09 You did.
00:38:12 Luckily, the doctor who delivered you
00:38:16 ...but it easily could've gone
00:38:28 - Wanna go for a walk?
00:38:30 I find it helps clear the mind.
00:38:36 What would they have done with me?
00:38:38 You can't dwell on something
00:38:43 The way my dad was talking, sounds like
00:38:46 No, no. Now, that's not fair.
00:38:49 You can't condemn him
00:38:54 [CHUCKLES]
00:38:57 This is where that tree was, wasn't it?
00:38:59 Yeah.
00:39:02 Must've been a spectacular view.
00:39:12 She's quite a girl.
00:39:17 Some of us get dipped in flat...
00:39:19 ...some in satin...
00:39:21 ...some in gloss.
00:39:23 But every once in a while...
00:39:25 ...you find someone who's iridescent.
00:39:30 And when you do...
00:39:32 ...nothing will ever compare.
00:39:42 BRYCE:
00:39:45 What the hell did that mean?
00:39:47 Juli Baker had always
00:39:52 Until now.
00:40:03 And the way she talked about
00:40:06 ...to be held above the earth,
00:40:09 Who in junior high talks like that?
00:40:12 This weird feeling started taking over
00:40:16 ...and I didn't like it.
00:40:18 I was slipping, man.
00:40:20 And it was time to get a grip.
00:40:23 JULl: I'd never been embarrassed
00:40:26 I also never really thought about money.
00:40:28 I knew we weren't rich, but I didn't feel
00:40:32 That is, until Bryce Loski
00:40:35 MARK [SINGING]: What's your name?
00:40:38 [IN UNISON]
00:40:42 What's your name?
00:40:44 Do I stand a chance with you?
00:40:47 It's so hard to find a personality
00:40:51 With charms like yours for me
00:40:54 Ooh-ee, ooh-ee, ooh-ee
00:40:59 JULl: I had to do something
00:41:02 [SINGING]
00:41:05 [BOTH SCATTING]
00:41:08 [ALL LAUGHING]
00:41:11 - Oh, you're sounding really good.
00:41:14 We'll record it in Skyler's garage.
00:41:16 That's a wonderful project.
00:41:18 Speaking of projects, I was thinking
00:41:22 - What?
00:41:24 I could plant a lawn,
00:41:27 I could even put up a fence.
00:41:29 Honey, that's a major undertaking.
00:41:34 - I could pay for it with my egg money.
00:41:38 The landlord should be the one
00:41:41 But he doesn't. And we live here.
00:41:46 And it looks so bad.
00:41:49 Jules.
00:41:51 What's going on?
00:41:53 Nothing, Dad.
00:41:57 It's okay, sweetheart.
00:41:59 You can tell us.
00:42:04 The Loskis have been throwing away my
00:42:08 Because our yard is such a mess.
00:42:12 Did Patsy say that?
00:42:14 No. Bryce did.
00:42:19 But it must have been
00:42:22 A boy doesn't come up with that
00:42:25 - Who cares what they think?
00:42:27 - I care.
00:42:30 Let's not get into this.
00:42:32 No, I'm tired of living like this, Richard.
00:42:35 I'm tired of having to take temp jobs
00:42:38 I'm tired of having to push a chair up
00:42:41 ...just to keep the door shut.
00:42:43 I'm tired of having to borrow
00:42:46 ...every time ours breaks down.
00:42:48 Do you think this is the life
00:42:52 Sometimes you have to sacrifice
00:42:55 We always end up agreeing that Devonhurst
00:43:00 Well, maybe we should start thinking
00:43:04 Our daughter is suffering
00:43:08 It's not our yard.
00:43:10 How can you say that, Richard? How?
00:43:14 We've lived here for 12 years...
00:43:16 ...and for 12 years we've been saying
00:43:20 This is our home.
00:43:22 Is it wrong to wanna live somewhere
00:43:26 To have enough to send your kids
00:43:29 Maybe it's time
00:43:32 We are not moving my brother.
00:43:35 He's more important
00:43:38 - Dad!
00:43:39 Stop it, Dad! Please, just stop.
00:43:45 I'm sorry. Julianna, this is not your fault.
00:43:49 We'll work this out, I promise.
00:43:54 JULl: That was the first time I ever heard
00:43:59 I'm sorry about tonight.
00:44:00 JULl:
00:44:03 My father talked about his brother
00:44:06 ...and how he promised his parents
00:44:10 My mother talked about how much
00:44:12 ...for his strength and kind heart.
00:44:15 When she kissed me good night...
00:44:16 ...she whispered that of all her
00:44:23 I felt sorry for my father.
00:44:25 I felt sorry for my mother.
00:44:27 But most of all,
00:44:32 I wanted to think the reason
00:44:35 ...had nothing to do with Bryce.
00:44:39 After what he did with the eggs,
00:44:43 But I did.
00:44:44 Are you pruning that
00:44:49 Hi. I'm Chet Duncan,
00:44:53 Sorry it's taken me so long
00:44:56 Nice to meet you.
00:44:58 So are you trimming all these
00:45:01 Well, yeah, that's what I was thinking,
00:45:04 Do you think it would look better
00:45:06 Oh, these are Hicksii shrubs.
00:45:14 Listen, Mr. Duncan.
00:45:15 Call me Chet.
00:45:17 Chet.
00:45:19 If you're here
00:45:22 ...I don't need your help.
00:45:25 Read about you in the paper.
00:45:28 Renee would've sat up in that tree
00:45:31 She would've sat up there all night.
00:45:35 Renee?
00:45:37 My wife.
00:45:39 You remind me a lot of her.
00:45:46 JULl:
00:45:48 And the whole time we worked,
00:45:52 - Right there?
00:45:53 JULl: He wanted to know more
00:45:56 He knew exactly what it meant...
00:45:58 ...about the whole being greater
00:46:01 He said it was the same with people...
00:46:03 ...but sometimes with people,
00:46:06 I thought that was pretty interesting.
00:46:09 I started looking at people
00:46:12 ...trying to figure out if they were more
00:46:18 Chet was right. A lot of them were less.
00:46:24 Of all my classmates, the one person
00:46:33 Until recently, I would've said
00:46:36 ...that he was greater, far greater,
00:46:40 But now I wasn't so sure.
00:46:41 It's looking good, Juli. Nice job.
00:46:45 Thanks. Chet did most of it.
00:46:51 I'm sorry for what I did.
00:46:57 I just don't get it, Bryce.
00:46:59 Why didn't you just tell me?
00:47:01 JULl:
00:47:02 Or was he just saying these things
00:47:06 Then I thought maybe I just wanted him
00:47:10 But as I looked into his eyes...
00:47:12 ...those dazzling eyes...
00:47:15 ...for the first time...
00:47:17 ...I was pretty sure
00:47:30 We're going to invite the Bakers
00:47:33 - What?
00:47:35 I think that's a marvelous idea.
00:47:37 Patsy, what purpose does this serve?
00:47:40 Trina Baker is a very nice person.
00:47:42 - And Matt and Mark are really cool.
00:47:46 Something we should've done years ago.
00:47:48 Yeah, but we didn't. And now we can't.
00:47:50 The statute of limitations has run out.
00:47:54 We're having the Bakers over for dinner.
00:47:58 If this is about what I said last night,
00:48:03 But, you know, having them over for dinner
00:48:07 It's going to be a sit-down dinner.
00:48:09 And I expect everyone
00:48:12 Oh, God. Can't we just have a barbecue?
00:48:14 It's going to be a sit-down dinner.
00:48:19 Just shoot me now.
00:48:21 Careful what you wish for.
00:48:23 BRYCE:
00:48:25 A dress-up, sit-down dinner with Juli Baker
00:48:31 And that made seeing Juli at school
00:48:34 I found myself staring at her in class.
00:48:37 And the way her hair fell back
00:48:39 ...she looked just like the picture
00:48:43 Dana Tressler caught me watching.
00:48:46 If I didn't do something fast,
00:48:49 There was a bee in her hair.
00:48:52 See, there it goes.
00:48:55 There's no bee.
00:48:58 It flew out the window.
00:49:00 BRYCE:
00:49:04 I had to put Juli out of my mind.
00:49:06 Keep the focus on the important stuff
00:49:13 My weakness was unnerving.
00:49:16 I need your sharpener.
00:49:17 - You ever heard of knocking?
00:49:20 None of your business.
00:49:22 - Give my best to Miss October.
00:49:25 - Or should I say your best? Ha, ha.
00:49:29 BRYCE:
00:49:31 My life had become a minefield.
00:49:34 GARRETT: Hey, man.
00:49:34 GARRETT: Hey, man.
00:49:38 What's this?
00:49:40 Whoa.
00:49:42 It's not what you think.
00:49:45 Okay, it is what you think,
00:49:49 Okay, I can't explain.
00:49:52 Whatever you say.
00:49:54 BRYCE:
00:49:55 Why not Garrett?
00:49:59 Garrett was surprisingly sensitive
00:50:01 Are you freaking mental? Juli Baker.
00:50:04 That's what's weird. I don't think I do.
00:50:07 - You got it bad, man.
00:50:10 Well, you gotta nip this in the bud.
00:50:13 - They're not?
00:50:16 Yeah, and I insulted her yard.
00:50:18 Exactly. Of course,
00:50:20 Her dad's got a retarded brother
00:50:24 A retard? Well, shoot,
00:50:27 - About what?
00:50:30 What are you saying?
00:50:32 The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
00:50:34 BRYCE: I couldn't believe it.
00:50:37 Tell him that he didn't know Juli
00:50:40 But all that came out was:
00:50:43 Heh, oh.
00:50:44 - Right.
00:50:47 Right. Um, I'll talk to you later.
00:50:53 BRYCE: I was supposed to go
00:50:56 ...but I couldn't be around him.
00:50:57 He'd crossed the line.
00:50:59 And standing right next to him
00:51:03 I didn't care what they thought.
00:51:05 I liked Juli Baker.
00:51:11 JULl: Sunday mornings
00:51:13 My dad lets himself sleep in.
00:51:15 My mother lets herself not fix breakfast.
00:51:18 If my brothers have been out late
00:51:20 ...you won't even know they're around
00:51:23 But this Sunday, I woke up feeling weird.
00:51:26 I had to do something to shake off
00:51:30 ...that were starting to creep back in.
00:51:39 You really did it, didn't you? Heh.
00:51:44 - Proud of you.
00:51:47 - Where you going?
00:51:53 I wanna come with you.
00:51:55 Oh, honey, just enjoy the morning,
00:51:59 No, Dad. I wanna come.
00:52:03 Sweetheart, listen.
00:52:05 Sometimes, with Daniel...
00:52:07 I'm coming, Dad.
00:52:12 Okay.
00:52:14 We'd better leave a note for your mother.
00:52:19 JULl: In all the years,
00:52:22 I don't know why.
00:52:27 We didn't say much to each other on
00:52:31 I just liked being with my dad.
00:52:34 Somehow the silence seemed to connect us
00:52:56 The residents tend to the grounds
00:53:03 It takes some getting used to.
00:53:09 Daniel?
00:53:11 Daniel.
00:53:13 Richard! You're here!
00:53:16 Richard for my birthday.
00:53:19 Who? Richard, who? Who?
00:53:21 Who? Who? Richard, who? Who?
00:53:23 Daniel, Daniel, it's Julianna.
00:53:26 Your niece.
00:53:29 Julianna.
00:53:31 - Ha, Julianna.
00:53:34 Ha-ha-ha. Richard. It's my birthday.
00:53:37 I have your pictures, Julianna.
00:53:41 We have a present for you.
00:53:44 A puzzle? A puzzle, Richard?
00:53:45 Not just a puzzle.
00:53:47 A puzzle and a...
00:53:50 ...pinwheel.
00:53:51 A pinwheel! Thank you, Richard.
00:53:55 Yes.
00:53:59 Orange. Outside? Outside, Richard?
00:54:01 You wanna go outside?
00:54:05 - We'll walk out there for an ice cream.
00:54:07 Oh, no. No, no, we can't.
00:54:10 Daniel doesn't like ice cream.
00:54:12 Aw.
00:54:16 - I do like ice cream, Richard.
00:54:19 - I know you like ice cream.
00:54:21 You love ice cream. All right, come on.
00:54:30 - Here you go. Got it?
00:54:32 Here you go.
00:54:33 It's my birthday.
00:54:37 [LAUGHING]
00:54:40 Lollipop. It's my birthday.
00:54:47 You like it? Oh!
00:54:50 - All right, Daniel. Okay, wait, wait.
00:54:53 - My ice cream. My ice cream. Ugh!
00:54:57 Daniel!
00:54:59 Daniel! Leave it, I'll get y...
00:55:01 DANIEL: Ice cream on the floor.
00:55:03 Would you go get him another cone?
00:55:06 - Yeah.
00:55:08 It's my birthday, Richard.
00:55:11 Ice cream, Richard! Ice cream, Richard!
00:55:14 Stop! Stop it!
00:55:16 - I need it!
00:55:18 [YELLING]
00:55:20 - Here we go.
00:55:22 Aah!
00:55:24 - Richard!
00:55:29 Birthday ice cream. That's good, Richard.
00:55:32 I'm so sorry.
00:55:34 JULl: I'd often heard my father talk about
00:55:38 But I never really understood it until now.
00:55:42 - Yeah, there you go.
00:55:45 JULl: On the walk back,
00:55:48 Other way. Other way.
00:55:50 JULl: On the ride home,
00:55:53 ...used to live with him and Mom
00:55:56 But after a while, it became too difficult.
00:56:00 When we got home,
00:56:03 But it wasn't.
00:56:05 Before today, Daniel had always been
00:56:09 Now he was part of the family.
00:56:14 [DOOR CLOSES]
00:56:16 [RICHARD SIGHS]
00:56:18 - Hey.
00:56:23 How'd it go?
00:56:25 I'm glad I went.
00:56:27 I'm glad you went too.
00:56:29 Trina, it's Sunday.
00:56:34 Patty Loski invited us over for dinner
00:56:38 RICHARD:
00:56:40 Or did she ask to borrow ours?
00:56:42 [CHUCKLES]
00:56:44 Nervous energy.
00:56:46 - Did she invite all of us?
00:56:49 Even our friend Sal Monella?
00:56:52 Richard.
00:56:54 Why, after all these years?
00:56:56 Well, she said she felt really bad
00:57:02 ...and apparently they want
00:57:05 And you wanna go?
00:57:07 Well, she insisted.
00:57:10 And I think it would be really nice.
00:57:14 All right.
00:57:16 We'll go.
00:57:18 JULl: I wasn't too thrilled about dinner
00:57:21 ...but I could see it meant a lot
00:57:24 [BELL RINGS]
00:57:25 At school the next day,
00:57:28 My thoughts kept running back to Daniel.
00:57:31 I wondered what my grandparents
00:57:34 ...when reality interrupted.
00:57:36 - Bryce Loski likes you.
00:57:39 He's got a big crush on you.
00:57:41 What are you talking about?
00:57:44 Oh, yeah?
00:57:47 He said it was because there was a bee
00:57:50 Is that the lamest cover-up or what?
00:57:53 Maybe there was a bee.
00:57:54 The only bee you're attracting
00:57:58 I'm telling you,
00:58:01 - Come on.
00:58:02 I saw him sneaking off with Garrett.
00:58:07 GARRETT: Are you freaking mental?
00:58:10 BRYCE:
00:58:12 I can't stop thinking about her.
00:58:14 GARRETT: You got it bad, man.
00:58:16 GARRETT:
00:58:18 - These aren't real emotions.
00:58:21 GARRETT:
00:58:23 BRYCE:
00:58:25 GARRETT:
00:58:27 BRYCE: Her dad's got a retarded brother
00:58:31 GARRETT: A retard?
00:58:33 BRYCE: About what?
00:58:36 BRYCE:
00:58:37 GARRETT: The apple doesn't fall far
00:58:40 BRYCE: Oh, heh. Yeah. Right.
00:58:44 BRYCE:
00:58:46 GARRETT:
00:58:50 I'm sorry. I thought...
00:58:52 It's okay. It's fine.
00:58:55 JULl:
00:58:56 Because now my confusion was gone.
00:58:59 I was sure I no longer liked
00:59:06 Mom, are you trying to make the Bakers
00:59:09 I want it to be nice.
00:59:12 - And why aren't you dressed?
00:59:17 BRYCE:
00:59:19 But I didn't want her to think
00:59:23 It was a fine line.
00:59:30 A very fine line.
00:59:32 [DOOR BELL RINGS]
00:59:35 PATSY:
00:59:38 Coming!
00:59:41 Hey, come on in.
00:59:43 PATSY: Come in, come in.
00:59:45 I'm glad you could make it.
00:59:48 LYNETTA: Coming!
00:59:51 Yes, it's pecan
00:59:54 Let's take them to the kitchen.
00:59:55 - Hi, guys.
00:59:57 - This is my dad.
00:59:59 - Hi, nice to finally meet you.
01:00:02 - My boys are telling me that...
01:00:04 Hey, Steven. How are you?
01:00:05 We should've done this a long time ago.
01:00:09 This is a cool place.
01:00:10 Yeah, it's all right.
01:00:14 MATT:
01:00:16 MARK:
01:00:18 Hi.
01:00:25 You look nice.
01:00:27 I heard you and Garrett
01:00:30 And I don't wanna speak to you.
01:00:32 Not now, not ever.
01:00:36 CHET: And I say you can.
01:00:39 ...would require a perpetual-motion
01:00:44 If you had two opposite charged poles
01:00:47 BRYCE:
01:00:49 Here I was, dying inside, and they
01:00:52 And how did Juli know
01:00:55 Come on, everybody, dinner's ready.
01:00:58 Dinner!
01:00:59 Juli, can I talk to you?
01:01:04 It was wrong, what Garrett said.
01:01:07 Did you know it was wrong
01:01:10 Yeah. I wanted to punch him.
01:01:13 But we were in the library.
01:01:15 So instead you just agreed with him
01:01:18 Yeah.
01:01:21 Then that makes you a coward.
01:01:27 BRYCE: I had to sit across from Juli
01:01:31 My dad was right.
01:01:32 We should have barbecued.
01:01:35 I just want to say how wonderful it is
01:01:38 May it be the first of many.
01:01:41 [COUGHING]
01:01:42 Wrong pipe.
01:01:45 Well, we couldn't be happier.
01:01:48 We are just all so thrilled to be here.
01:02:01 Juli, you did a really nice job
01:02:04 Thanks. Chet was a big help.
01:02:07 STEVEN:
01:02:09 You gotta tell me your secret.
01:02:12 - Steven.
01:02:15 [TRINA LAUGHS]
01:02:17 I'm telling you, the neighborhood
01:02:22 I mean, that new house is taking shape.
01:02:26 Which one?
01:02:27 You know, the one where they cut down
01:02:31 BRYCE: I wanted to say that a lot of people
01:02:36 I didn't want to go against my dad.
01:02:39 Some people thought that tree
01:02:42 Yeah, well,
01:02:48 So, Matt, Mark, Mark, Matt...
01:02:51 You guys are, uh, gonna be
01:02:54 Yeah, thank God.
01:02:57 You don't like high school?
01:02:59 - You kidding?
01:03:02 High school was the best time of my life.
01:03:05 - Not for us, no.
01:03:08 Ah.
01:03:10 So college is probably
01:03:13 No, it's a possibility.
01:03:14 They've actually been accepted...
01:03:16 ...at several places already.
01:03:19 Really?
01:03:20 Well, that's good.
01:03:23 But, um,
01:03:27 - Really?
01:03:30 Oh, their band is really boss.
01:03:33 They did a bunch of demos
01:03:36 Thanks, Lyn.
01:03:37 When Steven and I first met,
01:03:40 You played in a band?
01:03:43 He was a wonderful saxophone player.
01:03:47 - Cool. You still play?
01:03:50 Well, if you want,
01:03:54 Uh, you...
01:03:55 No, I mean... Heh.
01:03:57 That's not me anymore.
01:03:59 PATSY: Have you boys ever performed
01:04:02 MATT:
01:04:03 BRYCE: The more Matt and Mark
01:04:06 ...the quieter my dad got.
01:04:08 He tried to plaster on a smile
01:04:11 ...but underneath he seemed really sad.
01:04:15 But my parents didn't like him at first.
01:04:18 Republicans fought like crazy
01:04:21 BRYCE: The rest of the evening
01:04:24 But through it all,
01:04:28 Never even looked at me.
01:04:32 Until she was about to leave.
01:04:35 I'm sorry I was so angry
01:04:38 I think everyone had a good time.
01:04:41 Your mom was really nice to invite us.
01:04:45 See you.
01:04:47 BRYCE:
01:04:49 - Hey, wait for me.
01:04:53 It was like I wasn't even important enough
01:04:56 Well, I think they're a delightful family.
01:04:59 Those boys were nothing like I expected.
01:05:01 I thought they were very nice young men.
01:05:04 - Hoodlums.
01:05:05 How you think they can afford
01:05:08 Steven, please.
01:05:12 Don't be so naive, Patsy.
01:05:15 Do you know how expensive it is
01:05:18 They're probably stealing hubcaps,
01:05:20 You are such an asshole.
01:05:23 What is the matter with you?
01:05:27 Go to hell.
01:05:29 Don't you talk to me like that.
01:05:31 Steven, stop!
01:05:32 STEVEN:
01:05:34 ...in my own house!
01:05:36 BRYCE: I'd seen my father angry before,
01:05:41 As I lay in bed that night...
01:05:42 ...I thought about how my dad
01:05:46 And how he'd called them trash
01:05:50 And now I realized
01:05:53 But why?
01:05:55 Juli called me a coward.
01:05:57 Was it possible my dad
01:06:00 I didn't know.
01:06:02 What difference did it make?
01:06:04 Juli Baker was out of my life.
01:06:06 Or, more accurately...
01:06:08 ...I was out of hers.
01:06:11 JULl: As I was getting dressed
01:06:14 ...I found myself staring at the painting
01:06:17 ...and became furious all over again.
01:06:19 Bryce had never been
01:06:22 He hadn't taken my side about the tree...
01:06:24 ...he'd thrown away my eggs...
01:06:26 ...and he made fun of me
01:06:29 When my mother called
01:06:31 TRINA:
01:06:33 JULl: I went out with every intention of
01:06:37 Please hold these. I need to check my hair
01:06:41 - Your hair is perfect.
01:06:43 JULl:
01:06:44 ...and she'd gone to so much trouble
01:06:49 Ooh! Oh, my gosh.
01:06:52 Okay. Here, hold one, and you hold this.
01:06:54 - I don't wanna hold it.
01:06:56 Let's go, boys.
01:06:58 JULl: But that didn't mean
01:07:00 And I don't wanna speak to you.
01:07:02 Not now, not ever.
01:07:05 JULl:
01:07:06 I felt strong, in control.
01:07:10 ...and I was determined not to talk to him
01:07:14 At dinner it struck me that we were sharing
01:07:19 We'd lived across the street
01:07:22 ...but except for Chet,
01:07:26 Mr. Loski was clean and smooth
01:07:29 ...but it seemed like there was something
01:07:36 By the end of the evening,
01:07:41 No fireworks, no leftover anger...
01:07:43 ...no flutters, nothing.
01:07:46 See you.
01:07:48 JULl:
01:07:50 - You okay?
01:07:52 I was grateful that I had the family I had.
01:07:56 And it felt good to no longer care
01:08:05 BRYCE: The dinner with the Bakers
01:08:09 Then the annual
01:08:11 ...and I found myself
01:08:16 I was a Basketboy.
01:08:19 To fully appreciate the humiliation
01:08:22 ...you need to know that the chosen few are
01:08:26 ...to the highest-bidding females.
01:08:28 Yes, technically, each of us
01:08:31 ...but let's not kid ourselves.
01:08:34 There he is, my idol.
01:08:36 One word, you're a dead man.
01:08:38 No, man, I'm serious.
01:08:40 What?
01:08:42 Two of the hottest chicks
01:08:44 - What are you talking about?
01:08:47 She and Melanie
01:08:49 I don't care.
01:08:51 Are you nuts?
01:08:54 You're my idol.
01:08:56 BRYCE: As comforting as it was
01:08:58 ...it didn't diminish the horror
01:09:02 And my only hope was that a giant tornado
01:09:07 It was a long shot.
01:09:10 Welcome, everyone...
01:09:12 ...to this year's
01:09:16 Once again we are pleased to present...
01:09:19 ...20 of Mayfield's finest young men...
01:09:23 - What are you doing here?
01:09:25 - So?
01:09:28 - Bullshit.
01:09:29 I saw her counting it by her locker.
01:09:31 McCLURE:
01:09:33 ...please give a big Mayfield School
01:09:36 ...to your 1963 Basketboys.
01:09:45 BRYCE:
01:09:48 Was it possible
01:09:50 First up, we have...
01:09:53 ...Raymond Hughes.
01:09:55 Raymond's on the chess team...
01:09:57 ...and his hobbies include stamp collecting
01:10:01 Remember, when you bid...
01:10:03 ...you'll not only be getting
01:10:07 ...you'll also be enjoying...
01:10:10 ...a lovely chicken-salad sandwich...
01:10:13 ...and what looks to be
01:10:18 Oh. Excuse me, onion dip.
01:10:20 And a big slice of cherry pie.
01:10:23 Okay, who will start the bidding at $5?
01:10:27 BRYCE: Thus began the bidding.
01:10:30 BRYCE: Or in Raymond Hughes' case,
01:10:34 Very good, here we go.
01:10:37 - Five.
01:10:39 - Ten dollars.
01:10:40 - Fifteen.
01:10:43 Come on. Do I hear 10?
01:10:46 GIRL 1: Ten.
01:10:48 GIRL 3: Ten.
01:10:51 GIRL 4:
01:10:52 Sold for $15.
01:10:56 Number eight is Eddie Trulock.
01:11:00 Eddie is a member of the debate team.
01:11:02 BRYCE: Now only Eddie Trulock
01:11:07 I wasn't interested in his hobbies
01:11:09 McCLURE: Let's start the bidding at $5.
01:11:13 McCLURE: Anybody?
01:11:16 What if she got in a bidding war
01:11:19 McCLURE:
01:11:20 BRYCE: I was contemplating the horrors
01:11:23 JULl:
01:11:24 McCLURE: There you go. Eight dollars,

01:12:29 Oh, the boosters will be very grateful
01:12:33 BRYCE:
01:12:35 Here I was, having lunch
01:12:38 ...and I was miserable.
01:12:40 We're going up to the lake.
01:12:43 ...and you get the most outrageous tan.
01:12:45 BRYCE: Because less than 20 feet
01:12:48 My Juli with Eddie Trulock.
01:12:52 She's laughing.
01:12:54 What was she laughing about?
01:12:56 How could she sit there and laugh
01:13:01 Bryce, are you all right?
01:13:04 What?
01:13:05 What are you staring at?
01:13:07 Nothing.
01:13:11 Lunch is really delicious, Bryce.
01:13:17 Bryce, did you hear me?
01:13:19 This is a really delicious lunch.
01:13:22 Can we not talk about tans or food?
01:13:25 Well, what do you wanna talk about?
01:13:28 I don't know, perpetual motion?
01:13:32 Perpetual what?
01:13:37 BRYCE: I don't know what came over me.
01:13:40 - Juli, I gotta talk to you.
01:13:46 What's going on, Bryce?
01:13:51 What are you doing?
01:13:54 Bryce, stop it.
01:13:56 BOY:
01:13:58 GIRL:
01:14:00 Juli! Juli!
01:14:04 Juli, wait. Can we talk?
01:14:07 Juli!
01:14:09 - What's the matter with you?
01:14:12 You get a date with the finest girl
01:14:16 - You wouldn't understand!
01:14:20 We're talking about Juli Baker here.
01:14:22 Nightmare neighbor, know-it-all nuisance.
01:14:25 Shut up!
01:14:27 Hey, have you flipped?
01:14:30 You know what, if you're gonna be like this,
01:14:34 - Well, good, because neither do I.
01:14:40 BRYCE: As I walked home with the dirty
01:14:44 ...all I could think of was Juli.
01:14:46 And I realized Garrett was right
01:14:49 I had flipped. Completely.
01:14:53 [KNOCKING ON DOOR]
01:15:04 TRINA [OVER PHONE]:
01:15:05 Oh, heh. Hi, Mrs. Baker. Is Juli there?
01:15:09 TRINA: Oh. I'm sorry, Bryce.
01:15:14 [DOOR BELL RINGS]
01:15:18 Please, Mrs. Baker. I gotta see her.
01:15:20 I'm sorry, Bryce.
01:15:23 But I'm afraid she's locked herself
01:15:31 BRYCE:
01:15:34 ...but I couldn't sleep.
01:15:36 I watched her house from my window
01:15:40 I had to find a way
01:15:45 JULl: Monday morning,
01:15:47 ...I was deciding which
01:15:51 ...when Dana Tressler forced Bryce
01:15:54 Juli. The list is out.
01:15:57 There he is, number nine, your main dish.
01:15:59 Bryce Loski's not my main dish.
01:16:01 - Oh, you're sticking to your diet.
01:16:05 - I'm over him, okay?
01:16:08 Because rumor has it Sherry's
01:16:12 Sherry? Sherry Stalls?
01:16:14 Oh, Liz. Macy. The list is up.
01:16:16 [GIRLS CHATTERING]
01:16:20 JULl: That afternoon, I found myself
01:16:25 I could feel myself backsliding
01:16:28 But why should I care if Sherry liked him?
01:16:30 I shouldn't even be thinking about him.
01:16:33 I had to rise above this.
01:16:35 Bryce Loski was no longer in my life.
01:16:37 [CLUCKING]
01:16:39 On the morning of the auction,
01:16:43 I found myself, without even knowing
01:16:47 I needed a strategy.
01:16:49 It was simple.
01:16:50 If I left my money at home,
01:16:55 My strategy suffered a setback
01:16:58 STEUBY:
01:16:59 Julianna.
01:17:01 Hello, dear.
01:17:04 I'm so sorry it's taken me so long
01:17:07 ...but I keep missing you in the morning.
01:17:10 Mrs. Steuby, I don't want that.
01:17:12 Don't be ridiculous. I'm gonna pay you.
01:17:14 - I'm going to pay you.
01:17:17 Yeah, I want you to go out
01:17:21 Pedal pushers. Ha, ha.
01:17:22 - Mrs. Steuby.
01:17:23 - Mrs. Steuby, I don't want pedal pushers.
01:17:28 [SIGHS]
01:17:30 It's okay.
01:17:32 It's okay. No big deal.
01:17:36 I hear you're planning to bid on Bryce.
01:17:38 What? Who told you that? No, I'm not.
01:17:40 Someone saw you with a wad of cash
01:17:42 - How much do you have?
01:17:45 And I'm not bidding, okay?
01:17:48 Oh, that'll be the day.
01:17:50 It's true. Go ahead,
01:17:54 And now, will you all give
01:17:59 ...to your 1963 Basketboys.
01:18:04 JULl:
01:18:06 ...but seeing Bryce walk out
01:18:09 ...holding that picnic basket...
01:18:11 ...set my head spinning again.
01:18:14 Fifteen going once.
01:18:16 JULl: The auction seemed to fly by.
01:18:20 Sold to Macy Taylor for $15.
01:18:24 JULl: Before I knew it,
01:18:27 Number eight is Eddie Trulock.
01:18:30 JULl:
01:18:32 McCLURE:
01:18:34 And his hobbies include fishing...
01:18:38 ...and model-airplane building.
01:18:41 Who will give me $5?
01:18:46 - Why isn't anyone bidding? He's so nice.
01:18:50 McCLURE:
01:18:54 Eight dollars.
01:18:56 McCLURE:
01:18:59 JULl:
01:19:01 Was it because I felt bad for Eddie?
01:19:03 Or was it because I couldn't trust myself
01:19:07 As I made my way
01:19:09 ...I contemplated
01:19:12 Here I was, about to have lunch
01:19:15 ...while the boy I mooned over
01:19:17 ...was going to share a meal
01:19:23 I wanna thank you for bidding on me.
01:19:25 It was touch-and-go there for a while.
01:19:27 No, I wanted to. This will be fun.
01:19:39 - I hear you like building model airplanes.
01:19:42 My father and I just finished
01:19:46 MiG's first supersonic fighter.
01:19:50 JULl:
01:19:52 But it was difficult,
01:19:55 Eddie was saying something
01:19:57 ...when out of nowhere, Bryce stood up
01:20:02 Hey, Juli, I gotta talk to you.
01:20:12 What are you doing?
01:20:16 JULl:
01:20:19 All my life I've been waiting for that kiss.
01:20:22 But not like this. Not this way.
01:20:26 I pedaled home so hard,
01:20:35 TRINA:
01:20:39 Julianna.
01:20:42 [KNOCKING ON DOOR]
01:20:43 Honey?
01:20:46 What's wrong?
01:20:48 I can't.
01:20:54 Sweetheart...
01:20:57 ...you can tell me.
01:21:00 Bryce tried to kiss me.
01:21:04 He did?
01:21:05 In school.
01:21:08 In front of everybody.
01:21:10 [DOOR BELL RINGS]
01:21:11 Mom, please don't get it.
01:21:13 It's probably him.
01:21:17 Sweetheart...
01:21:19 ...maybe you should talk to him.
01:21:22 I can't.
01:21:24 I can't.
01:21:26 [RINGING]
01:21:28 JULl:
01:21:31 He kept calling on the phone.
01:21:35 And knocking on the door.
01:21:38 He even snuck around the house
01:21:42 BRYCE:
01:21:44 Come on out, just for a minute!
01:21:45 JULl: Why didn't he understand
01:21:49 BRYCE:
01:21:53 JULl:
01:21:55 And I thought it was finally over.
01:22:01 Then, one afternoon,
01:22:07 ...when I heard a noise in the yard.
01:22:09 [SCRAPING]
01:22:14 Hey, what's he doing?
01:22:15 Juli, calm down. I gave him permission.
01:22:19 Permission? Permission for what?
01:22:23 RICHARD:
01:22:25 JULl:
01:22:27 RICHARD:
01:22:29 JULl: It was torture seeing him
01:22:32 How could my father let him do this?
01:22:35 Bryce knew I was there too.
01:22:46 He's gone.
01:22:58 A tree?
01:23:00 He's planting a tree?
01:23:07 Is it a?
01:23:09 JULl:
01:23:11 I could tell
01:23:14 ...and the texture of the trunk.
01:23:16 It was a sycamore tree.
01:23:24 BRYCE: When she walked out of the door,
01:23:29 How could anybody, ever,
01:23:34 JULl:
01:23:36 Those once again dazzling eyes.
01:23:38 And I knew that Bryce Loski
01:23:43 But he wouldn't be for long.
01:23:46 As we stood there,
01:23:50 ...we never really talked.
01:23:55 Do you need some help?
01:23:58 Yeah.
01:24:00 JULl:
01:24:04 BRYCE:
01:29:41 [ENGLISH - US - SDH]
01:29:53 REINER:
01:29:55 You ready? And action.
01:29:57 McAULIFFE:
01:29:58 CARROLL: What's going on?
01:30:00 [McAULIFFE & CARROLL LAUGH]
01:30:01 REINER:
01:30:03 Oh, God, here we go.
01:30:06 CARROLL: The scene where we're doing
01:30:09 ...where we almost kiss,
01:30:12 Bryce, what are you doing?
01:30:14 Mm...
01:30:16 Stop it. Ha, ha!
01:30:18 And then I leave? Ha, ha.
01:30:19 REINER:
01:30:20 You gotta be serious about this.
01:30:24 CARROLL: Okay. Okay.
01:30:26 Can't be Giggleville.
01:30:27 - Serious.
01:30:30 CARROLL:
01:30:31 ...and he comes up and tries to kiss me.
01:30:33 It was really hard. I had to wait
01:30:36 Oh, it was so embarrassing.
01:30:38 REINER:
01:30:41 Juli, I gotta talk to you.
01:30:43 McAULIFFE:
01:30:44 It's a near kiss.
01:30:48 I was kind of confused when I read that.
01:30:49 Because she wanted the kiss
01:30:54 CARROLL:
01:30:56 ...and says, "Can I talk to you?"
01:31:00 And then I have to run away.
01:31:02 But we kept laughing.
01:31:04 [BOTH LAUGHING]
01:31:06 CARROLL:
01:31:07 It was so funny. Oh, my gosh.
01:31:11 It was so embarrassing.
01:31:12 Just turn around.
01:31:14 CARROLL:
01:31:15 I thought the sniffing hair was weird,
01:31:19 ...but that was really weird.
01:31:20 That was really fun to film
01:31:23 Then Madeline was trying to not laugh.
01:31:26 - Why are you smiling?
01:31:29 - What are you doing?
01:31:31 CARROLL:
01:31:33 I had to have Callan... He was off camera.
01:31:36 What are you doing?
01:31:39 Stop.
01:31:40 - Ha, ha.
01:31:42 McAULIFFE: One of the kids,
01:31:44 ...who ended up being chosen by Juli
01:31:47 ...he told Madeline and I that my look
01:31:52 Show him your face.
01:31:54 [ALL LAUGH]
01:31:56 You see... coming towards you
01:31:59 - It's too funny.
01:32:01 McAULIFFE: I had to run out after and I'd
01:32:04 And we had all the really nice
01:32:07 ...and they were saying, like,
01:32:10 Bryce, stop.
01:32:11 BOY 1: Bryce, you didn't even make it
01:32:13 GIRL 1:
01:32:15 BOY 2: Nice job, make-out artist.
01:32:18 REINER:
01:32:20 Okay. Good. Very good, Cal.
01:32:22 Sometimes Rob will yell a direction,
01:32:25 Because he's in the other room.
01:32:27 I was like, "We're not gonna kiss, right?
01:32:29 Then we did the scene and he's like:
01:32:31 "Okay, Callan, this time
01:32:35 REINER: Cal?
01:32:37 REINER: On this time,
01:32:39 - No, I'm kidding.
01:32:40 - Ha, ha!
01:32:41 CARROLL:
01:32:44 And I looked at Callan. I'm like, "What?"
01:32:47 It was so funny.
01:32:49 - Oh, my gosh. That was scary.
01:32:52 - Good one, Rob.
01:32:55 But the sad thing was,
01:32:58 Oh, gosh. That was so embarrassing.
