All Summers End

Alright, you ready?

Yeah.

Alright, stand back.

Can I try?

Go ahead.

Get the flame right on the wick.

Careful. OK, stand back.

Hey.

How's it going?

It's going. Just out taking a walk.

Is it cool if I join you?

Yeah.

I was young... once.

Be back by eight, yeah?

Come on, Dad. Let's go.

When we're young, we think we're invincible.

But then life teaches you otherwise.

I was 16-years-old the summer I met Grace Turner.

Hey. What are you doing?

I'm throwing this bridge in the river.

Here. Go ahead. Toss it over.

OK.

Doesn't this upset the fish?

No.

They just move and then

forget why they even moved in the first place.

I'd hate to live like that.

Like what?

Like, not remembering things.

Think about everything you'd lose.

All the great memories you wouldn't have.

Well, I guess I better get going.

OK.

What would you say if I told you you were gonna be my first love?

What would you say to that?

Um... I don't know what I'd say.

OK. Think about it, and get back to me when you do.

I had no idea what I was doing.

Our town was trying to kill us with boredom.

So Hunter insisted this July 4th would be

the greatest act of rebellion since 1776.

Timmy was more concerned with the practical matters of manhood.

The three of us were in a race to see who could get to third base first.

So..., what are you...

what are you doin' tonight?

None of us wanted to lose.

You know, she totally wants you, man.

I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

She told you for Christ's sake.

I guess.

Give me that.

No guessing, man, alright? She wants it bad.

Dude, if I was you, I'd be getting on that shit.

I mean, you gotta make sure

she knows that you're the one calling the shots, you know.

I mean, otherwise we might as well just forget the whole thing.

She probably just wants you for your body anyway.

Yeah, probably.

- Shut up, Tim. - Ohh!

Come on, guys, let's get outta here.

You guys want any more of this?

- I'm good. - Nope.

Naw? Alright, I'm gonna chuck it.

- Do it. - Chuck it.

- Here we go! - Chuck, chuck, chuck!

Kaboom!

And the crowd goes wild!

Conrad?

My father left us five years before,

and home hadn't been the same since.

To fill the void,

my mom had latched on to me so tight

I could barely breathe.

So, today, things were gonna be different,

I had an invitation I couldn't refuse.

One way or another I was gonna make my move.

Well, look who it is. Come on. We're all out back.

How 'bout another burger, Conrad?

Uh, I'm OK.

C'mon, you need to put some more meat on those bones of yours.

OK, you talked me into it.

There you go.

Eric, could you get me a beer?

Sure thing, Dad.

It's nice of you to join us, Connie.

Your family didn't have any plans?

Uh, well, my mom, she's outta town,

she's, uh, out on business right now.

Oh, a working woman, huh?

See, honey, I told you they existed.

That must be so hard.

Dad, tell her to stop.

How 'bout your father, what does he do?

Problem there, Connie?

Eric, just shut it.

See? Always with the attitude.

Be careful, man, you're gonna have a hard time keeping her in line.

Dad, tell him to stop.

- Gracie, relax. - He's trying to embarrass me.

You do that on your own.

Stop being such a shithead, Eric.

Watch the language.

Oh, my God!

Eric, I think you know better.

C'mon, I was just jokin' with her.

Right.

Hey, Connie!

Uh, listen, man, you like my sister, don't ya?

Yeah, well, I mean...

It's cool, man, don't sweat it.

OK.

Play it cool, OK,

don't show her you're too interested.

But, don't hold back too much either.

Yeah, I guess.

Gotta make the first move, man.

- Be aggressive. - Cool.

But not too aggressive, alright, she's still my little sister.

Yeah.

- Good luck, buddy. - You too, man.

Hey.

I'm really sorry about my family. They're so annoying.

They seem pretty great to me.

Well, looks can be deceiving right?

So, you coming to the fireworks with us tonight, or what?

Uh, well, I kinda told the guys I'd hang out with them tonight.

Let's hope I survive it alone then.

The winds blowing nice today.

Yeah.

Hey, hey, hey. You two hooking up or what?

- Hey, guys. - Hi, Grace.

Hey, Timmy. Hey, Hunter.

You, uh, teachin' our boy the ways of the world?

- Dude, shut up. - Aw, look at that,

defending his girl, how sweet.

I'm sorry, Grace.

Hey, hey, hey, did you just say sorry to her, man?

Cause, you were supposed to meet up with us

like three hours ago.

It's cool, Conrad,

if you wanna hang out with a buncha children go right ahead.

- Ohh! Burn! - Oh, God! How am I gonna recover from that one?

- It hurts! - Hunter, how am I gonna recover from that?

See you later?

OK.

Gentlemen.

- Mmm. How ladylike. - Ohh, yes. Bye.

- Bye, Grace. - Have a wonderful day.

You got yourself a keeper there, Conrad.

Dude, what the hell are you doing?

Hey, calm down, man.

Why'd you have to do that? You're embarrassing me...

What are you talking about?

Dude, I don't even know where his hands have been.

Where they been, Connie?

Obviously not on Grace.

Ohh. You hear that, Con? Obviously not on Grace.

That hurt. That hurt.

So, you'd, uh, get a little kiss?

No, you totally blew the moment, dude.

- I was going to. - Blew the moment?

- Yeah. - Aw, did you hear this, kid?

Yeah, I'm hearing it.

Stop with the angry game, Con, alright?

You ditched us for her.

I was just leaving to come find you guys, I swear.

Ohh, OK, well, looked like you were just trying to find something, if you ask me.

Oh, man, finding something for sure.

Should we even include him in tonight's plans, Tim?

See, uh, I don't know. I just don't know.

- I don't know either, man. - Just tell me what's goin' on.

Alright, we got wheels.

My Granddad's taking the night off, so we'll snag his truck. He won't even know.

You can't drive.

Dude, I got my permit alright, don't be a pussy.

Why can't we just head over to the fireworks like everybody else?

Lame. Lame!

Oh, we're doing it with or without you, Con.

I mean, you wanna ditch us again, go for it.

- C'mon, man. - Oh, no, no, no, no, it's cool, man. Have fun, buddy.

See you later.

Peace.

Alright, Tim, open the trunk and take the wheel, alright?

Go, go!

Open it man, open it.

Let's go, let's go.

Look what I got.

Let's go, c'mon.

- Oh, shit let's go. - Hunter, let's go. C'mon, c'mon.

Go, go, go, go, go.

Damn, dude. You need to stop pulling that shit.

Jesus, you were loving it like five seconds ago.

Yeah, what's your deal, man?

I mean, ever since you started getting pussy,

you've turned into a pussy.

Man's got a point.

You're just jealous 'cause I'm actually getting some.

Ah, if you're such a man, then why don't you prove it?

I'm not proving shit to you.
