Game of Your Life

[ engine turns over, tires screech ]

Young man: It's 'cause she's a girl.

That's why she's baiting you.

Sara: Here I come. Here I come. Watch out.

Wyldncrazi, I'm coming for you.

You got lucky. That was a close second.

This is all skill. It's 'cause of the control. I'm telling you.

Hey, teebyrrd, you got it together for the online contest?

I got to take a pass, wyldncrazi. How about you?

I'm so stoked. I've got this awesome --

Yeah, yeah, we know about your new car,

But it's gonna get you disqualified.

Like I care. I'm just saying.

Hey, guys, how about focus on the game?

Or let teebyrrd have a turn at this.

You know, I appreciate it, ultimitgrrl,

But like I said, I'm outta here. Right now?

I'm just gonna crash for a few hours,

Then I'm leaving tonight.

Dude, night driving rules. Yeah, totally.

Oh, oh, oh, here we come.

Man: ...4, 15.

Cecil: What? 6.

6?

It's basic math, cecil.

Remind me the time we took that road trip together, remember?

We'd just got out of the service,

Been pretty near zach's age, I expect.

Mm-hmm, I do recall.

You know, I never been out of the heartland,

Barely out this town.

Yeah, but you know this one place better than any man alive,

And that's an accomplishment, don't you think?

Hey, zach. You need a hand?

Hey, pops. No. Thanks. I'm good.

Man: And then some.

I had some time to look at the accounts,

And I think we better have a talk before I go.

I got it, zach. I got it.

Hey, jules, what's up?

No, dude, I don't have time to play some random mmo right now.

'cause I don't. All right, talk to you later.

Sara: So, teebyrrd, where you out of here to?

Well, believe it or not, I got into d.I.G.D.

Wow! Best design school in the country! Good job, zach.

Ultimitgrrl, you look surprised.

I just didn't know you were that smart.

Better be that smart.

I heard the first-semester project is a killer.

Knocks out 50% of the class. More like 60%.

Plus you got that marcus bentton to deal with. And a serious legend.

Well, nothing like some virtual support.

All right, guys, I got to pack up some gear.

I'll talk to you later.

All right, see you later.

See you guys.

Hey, maybe we'll meet up one day.

You think?

You never know.

Zach: It always starts out the same.

I'm driving around in my old t-bird,

Which I do a lot,

Especially when I'm trying to figure stuff out.

Right now I'm trying to figure out how to leave home

And say goodbye.

I know I've put it off,

And time's pretty much run out.

When all of a sudden, right out of nowhere...

Tires squeal ]

And that's when I remember what this is...

And I know how to get out of it.

Billy: Zachariah!

we've got company. Come on, son!

Oh!

Oh, we're so proud of you!

zach! Oh!

Hey, I knew when you thought up

That application thingy you thought up --

Uh, what was it now?

Mckanik, stanley.

Right, yeah, mckanik!

Such a shame somebody else beat you to market.

Yeah, well, that's how it goes sometimes, right?

But it was a right good idea, though.

Troubleshoot your car from your phone.

I knew when you did that, you were going places,

And now you are!

Woman: Yeah, he's off to college.

Oh, for mercy's sakes.

Cecil, don't stall.

Well, surprise, surprise,

And congratulations!

Guys, it's not even my birthday. I don't know what to say.

It is in a way, son.

Wow. "zach, your adventure begins.

We love you."

Thanks, guys.

Blow out the candles.

All right.

You're ready. You're ready.

Good luck, son.

Thanks, pops.

You know what that is? That sound?

Small step for bugs, epic win for mankind.

The spark of human imagination.

It's your move.

You see, most commercial traps,

They roast the little stinkers and leave a big old carcass,

But with my little tweak, it turns them into a fine ash.

Yeah! Vaporize!

See, that's what I'm talking about.

If you would have registered your modification

At the patent office...

Ah, we'd be fat and happy,

We don't need fat and happy, pops.

I mean, that's what I'm saying.

What we need is seven grand for property taxes

And 10 for the man at the bank.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hm mm-hmm!

Man. Ah.

Oops.

Sorry.

Mm. Mm.

Boy, you got a knack, zach.

I'll give you that.

Pops, you work all the time.

I mean, all the time,

And half of what you do you do it for free.

Helping out strangers for no charge?

Son, I try to do what's right.

If you can't pay and the bank calls your loan,

Everything goes.

I mean, your whole life? My home? Poof!

Don't worry, all right? I'm on it.

Now, you better get on the road.

Pops, I can help.

It's not your place.

Well, what's my place? Always be the kid?

But you are a kid.

Come on, now. Drive safely.

I will.

And you, please, keep up with the taxes.

Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Don't worry. I got it.

Thought you were going to fix the door?

Yeah, you know me, pops.

I was online day-in and day-out, but I'll get it done.

I'll get it done.

Jackson! I'm coming back, boy, I promise.

I'm gonna miss you, buddy. I'll be back, promise.

I love you, jackson.

Okay, let's let him go.

I love you, son.

I know that.

I got you, pops.

go on. G-get out of here.

young woman: Dude, nice parking job!

Young man: What's up with you, man?

Young man #2: Off the sidewalk.

Oh, this is bad.

Hi. Hi. Hi.

Good morning.

How are you today?

Young man #3: Morning, ms. Lambert.

Hello. Good morning.

Ah, please.

No, no, no!

Man: Oh!

I have something... Right here.

Are you okay?

Why are you here?

I was -- I was accepted as a freshman

Into the video game design department.

No. I mean, here.

As in, why are you parked on the sidewalk

In the middle of campus?

Um, well, I got here last night.

Well, uh, this morning.

The parking lot is there. Admissions is there.

And game-design orientation is in 20 minutes

In the auditorium, over there.

Yes, ma'am.

May I? Please, absolutely.

I'm so sorry about this. I'm sorry.

I'm sure you are.

Young woman: Uh, excuse me.

I know! I-I'm leaving.

Zach taylor.
