All American

Guys...

I'm calling with a heavy heart.

It's with great sadness

and my deepest condolences

that I must say RIP

to our high-school hallways...

'Cause it's skip day, baby!

Yo, who's ready to turn up?

Dude, it's so early.

Oh, come on, ash!

Jordan, Jordan?

Spence? Look, sp...

Dillon, don't forget to pack up your deodorant for your sleepover.

But make sure you put on some first.

- Ooh. - What's up, ma?

- Mmm. - You might want to tell him twice.

I don't know what it is about little boys choosin' to be funky.

It's like y'all don't smell y'all selves.

Ain't got to worry about me no more. I always keep it fresh.

Well, thank you, Jesus, for that.

I didn't think my nostrils would make it.

- Come on. - Ha ha ha ha!

I am headed over to the school

this morning if you want to catch a ride.

- No school for me. Ditch day. - Right.

I remember my senior skip day.

We spent the day at dockweiler beach,

and then we snuck into the school at nighttime

to hide our time capsules.

- Y'all made time capsules? - Mm-hmm.

- What you put in 'em? - We wrote our predictions of where we saw ourselves

- in the next 30 years. - Oh.

Y'all aren't doing that? That's a south crenshaw tradition.

Every senior class does it. Well, I ain't never heard of it.

They probably got tired of y'all breaking into the school

- every year and shut it down. - I guess so.

So what are y'all gonna do? Oh, they going to the fair,

but it's Beverly's skip day, too, so me and Liv gonna hang out.

I got somethin' special planned.

- Oh. - Mind your business. I see...

- Mind your business, ok? - Ok, ok.

All right, young man.

Just don't be makin' no babies.

You know, it defeats the whole purpose

of skip day if you're still doing school work.

I'm sorry, I just... I got a last-minute

assignment for my job at the "L.A. tribune," and I'm just trying to

get it done before we leave. A'ight, well, you can finish it in the car

'cause we've gotta go.

Ok.

Wait. Where are we going?

- It's a surprise. - If I guess,

will you tell me? Is it palm Springs?

- That's not how surprises work. - Ok.

Look, you and me have been waiting

on this date forever, and now that it's finally here,

I want to make it special...

So put this on when we get to the car.

I mean, it's a little kinky, but I'm down.

You sure you want our first time to be in a backseat?

No. It's to stop you from being all

miss investigative reporter and trying to ruin the surprise.

How long do I have to wear this stupid thing?

Again with the questions. Just trust me.

Promise it's gonna be worth it.

Ok.

Is it Catalina?

- No. - Oh, you know, i'm just warmin' up.

- Ok. - Oh, it's Joshua tree.

- It is Joshua... no. - Yeah.

Hey, I'm telling you now, I am never getting on that death drop ride again.

Ok, I couldn't step foot on an elevator for, like, a year.

Ok, honestly, I don't even care because I just want my funnel cake

'cause I haven't had one of those in, like, forever.

Right. Oh, hold on.

This my lawyer. Hello?

Yeah, this is Coop.

Ok, they need it today?

All right.

Yeah, I'll stop by in a minute. Ok.

Well?

It's about mo's shooting.

They filed a motion to have the misdemeanor charge dropped,

and they need me to fill out some papers,

you know, 'cause it was self-defense.

You are gettin' real comfortable with that lie, huh?

What? If... if I don't stick to my story,

preach goes to jail, Amina has no parents,

and I'm not living with that on my conscience.

Self-defense is the easiest way to wrap this thing up for everybody.

And, yeah, why don't you come? Come on, and then

we can go to the fair straight after.

Yeah, no, i'm, uh, i'MMA pass.

- Why? - You know, Layla was

actually gonna swing by this morning, but I told her no

because I thought you and me were gonna spend time together.

But I guess I just have all this free time now, right?

Bye.

Good morning, principal Carter.

Good mornin', Ms. James.

Surprised to see you here this early.

- Dropping off some forms. - Mm-hmm.

By the way, Spencer's at home sick.

Oh, right. So is every other senior.

I know it's skip day.

Did you know that seniors don't do time capsules anymore?

What capsules? We didn't do that at my school.

It's a south crenshaw tradition.

It's where we wrote predictions of our future selves?

What was yours?

Oh, well, honestly, I...

I can't remember.

It was over 25 years ago.

But now I'm curious.

I know we hid them in the wall

in Mr. Rowan's history class.

Hmm.

I'm gonna find Billy. I need his help.

You can't be serious. It's the middle of the day.

There's never a wrong time for a little adventure.

Try not to disturb any of the students that are here.

Ok.

We're here.

Watch your head.

So I can finally take this thing off and see

the breathtaking views of laguna beach?

- No and no. - Heh heh! Damn.

- Take my hand. - Ok.

There you go.

So excited.

Are you sure that's not the ocean I'm hearing?

Not unless you got superpowers.

Now, listen,

our first time together is somethin' special,

so I wanted it to be somewhere that had meaning.

Oh, wow. Um, we're... heh!

We're here, at the cabin.

Um, didn't we pass a brand-new hotel a few miles back?

- You were blindfolded. - You know, or we could,

um, we could just come back tomorrow, you know?

Listen, if you're having second thoughts

about this, we can just chill and enjoy the cabin.

- It's not that. - Then what is it?

Last one to the dock is wearing handcuffs tonight!

It's that.

Dude, you said that I had an open invitation

to use your cabin anytime that I wanted.

That don't mean you're not supposed to check in with me first.

I am so sorry. I had no idea Spencer

was bringing me here. I was literally blindfolded.

No, it's romantic, and it's kinda kinky.

- I know, right? - I just feel so bad.

He went through all this trouble,

and Jordan and I ruined his surprise for you.

I mean, if anyone's to blame, it's...

Liv's fault, all right? She's the one

who invited us up here in the first place.

Why would Liv invite y'all to use my family's cabin?

Well, she thought that we could use a romantic getaway,

since Simone's leaving for bringston soon.

Wait. Why are you guys here? Mm-hmm?

Oh, my god.

You guys were gonna

do it for the first time!

Shh! Keep your voice down!

- I feel really bad. - No.

Ok, look, Jordan and I, we are not blockers,

so, girl, we really could just go. No, no.

No way. I mean, leaving would just make it weird.

I mean, not gonna lie.

I assumed you guys were saving it for prom night.

- Do I look like a cliche? - Ha ha ha ha!

Oh, also, speaking of prom, we're still going, right?

- Yes, of course. - Ok.

Girl, there are two things

I dreamed of since I was a little girl.

- Mm-hmm. - Prom and my wedding day.

Well, you already scratched one of those

- off your list, so... - Oh? Well,

there I am, the overachiever.

Ha ha! Jordan is so excited, it's,

like, weird. He won't shut up about his tux.

That's so cute.

He's all hype about it. I just,

you know, I want to make sure he has the prom of a lifetime.

- Oh. - Shut up.

"Of a lifetime."

I don't get it.

I know that we hid those time capsules

in Mr. Rowan's history class.

Look out. Grace James is wrong.

Uh, don't make me hurt you.

- Hey, any luck? - No.

Grace, um, uh...

Didn't do anything.

I think these capsules might have

just moved themselves somehow. What?

Yeah, i'm... i'm not touching that. Heh!

- We still on for tonight? - What's tonight?

Nosy.
