00:00:14,514 --> 00:00:17,225
[clears throat] Lastly, to everyone
who cast a vote for my opponent,

3
00:00:17,308 --> 00:00:19,728
we may have our differences,
but from day one,

4
00:00:19,811 --> 00:00:21,938
I pledge to be president
of every student at this school

5
00:00:22,022 --> 00:00:24,024
and I will make sure
that your voices are heard too.

6
00:00:24,107 --> 00:00:26,276
Certainly doesn't sound like
a concession speech.

7
00:00:28,028 --> 00:00:28,862
It isn't.

8
00:00:29,112 --> 00:00:32,449
Uh, and I...
I didn't bother preparing one.

9
00:00:32,532 --> 00:00:33,908
You see, our internal polls

10
00:00:33,992 --> 00:00:35,994
showed a higher-than-expected rate
of voter turnout.

11
00:00:36,077 --> 00:00:38,580
We needed like 55 percent,
it's hovering around 57.

12
 00:00:38,663 --> 00:00:41,416
So, that shortens the tails on our model,
which as of ten minutes ago,

13
00:00:41,499 --> 00:00:44,919
had us at a 71 percent chance of victory.

14
00:00:46,546 --> 00:00:48,298
Listen, the vote is gonna close
in an hour,

15
00:00:48,381 --> 00:00:51,176
and I know that this campaign
has been hard on you, okay?

16
00:00:51,259 --> 00:00:53,219
You've been through a lot
with the whole River thing,

17
00:00:53,303 --> 00:00:54,512
-and-- Sorry.
-[notification chimes]

18
00:00:54,596 --> 00:00:55,764
-Wow.
-[chimes continue]

19
00:00:55,847 --> 00:00:58,141
Seems like the congratulations
are already pouring in.

20
00:00:58,224 --> 00:00:59,309
-I just--
-[phone vibrating]

21
00:00:59,392 --> 00:01:02,020
I wanted to say for the record
I am sorry that this race...

22
00:01:02,562 --> 00:01:03,563
got so nasty.

23
00:01:03,938 --> 00:01:06,733
 -Thanks, Payton. Really appreciate it.
-[phone continues vibrating]

24
00:01:07,525 --> 00:01:09,903
But those texts you're getting
aren't congratulations.

25
00:01:09,986 --> 00:01:12,530
I imagine they're from your team
who are probably freaking out.

26
00:01:12,614 --> 00:01:14,032
You're president, Payton.

27
00:01:14,115 --> 00:01:16,326
[chuckles] Well, not yet.

28
00:01:16,409 --> 00:01:19,120
The polls don't close for an hour.
And the votes haven't been counted.

29
00:01:19,204 --> 00:01:20,413
And they're not gonna be.

30
00:01:20,663 --> 00:01:22,373
They're being dumped outside as we speak.

31
00:01:22,874 --> 00:01:25,168
See, a few minutes ago,
I sent around a school-wide email

32
00:01:25,251 --> 00:01:27,504
announcing my withdrawal from the race.

33
00:01:27,587 --> 00:01:30,840
So, Principal Vaughn agreed that
counting the votes would be pointless.

34
00:01:31,132 --> 00:01:33,301
Why-- [clears throat]
Why would you do that?

35
 00:01:33,551 --> 00:01:36,054
Because your model was right.
Ours said the same.

36
00:01:36,137 --> 00:01:39,390
Voter turnout was up.
Late deciders were breaking for you,

37
00:01:39,474 --> 00:01:40,642
so instead of just lose,

38
00:01:40,725 --> 00:01:44,104
I thought I would drag you down with me
and make sure you couldn't win.

39
00:01:44,187 --> 00:01:46,815
I mean, you're president,
so you have won something.

40
00:01:47,273 --> 00:01:51,486
An office with no meaning,
which no one can respect.

41
00:01:51,569 --> 00:01:53,696
-[phone vibrating]
-[shaky exhale]

42
00:01:53,780 --> 00:01:55,573
Screw you very much, Payton.

43
00:01:57,033 --> 00:01:58,159
Hell of a campaign.

44
00:02:03,456 --> 00:02:04,499
[door slams shut]

45
00:02:11,589 --> 00:02:12,423
[whispers] What?

46
00:02:17,554 --> 00:02:19,806
-Why don't you answer your phone?
-[Payton] What can we do?
 47
00:02:19,889 --> 00:02:21,599
Nothing. They've closed polls
and thrown out ballots.

48
00:02:21,683 --> 00:02:23,309
We can kiss any mandate goodbye.

49
00:02:23,393 --> 00:02:25,436
Well, we can-- Um, we can file an appeal.

50
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,105
Appeal what? Your victory?

51
00:02:27,188 --> 00:02:28,356
Pyrrhic victory is the term,

52
00:02:28,439 --> 00:02:31,901
one that is tantamount to defeat because
it is devoid of any value or meaning.

53
00:02:33,570 --> 00:02:35,280
Shit! [panting]

Infinity. What are you doing here?

I'm on to you, creep.

71
00:04:13,378 --> 00:04:15,463
I'm not a professional clown,
I just like helping kids.

72
00:04:15,546 --> 00:04:16,422
Shut up, Ray!

73
 00:04:17,715 --> 00:04:19,926
[whispers] I know... everything.

74
00:04:20,802 --> 00:04:22,762
And I have enough evidence
to put you away forever.

75
00:04:22,845 --> 00:04:26,140
So unless you want to spend
the rest of your life in prison,

76
00:04:26,224 --> 00:04:27,767
you're gonna have to do what I want.

77
00:04:28,142 --> 00:04:29,811
And I have two demands.

78
00:04:31,020 --> 00:04:32,230
All those in favor?

79
00:04:34,023 --> 00:04:35,566
-The motion passes.
-[gavel strike]

80
00:04:35,650 --> 00:04:37,610
Next item I would like to introduce,

81
00:04:37,694 --> 00:04:40,113
St. Sebastian's new student body president

82
00:04:40,196 --> 00:04:43,574
and vice president,
Payton Hobart and Skye Leighton.

83
00:04:43,658 --> 00:04:45,243
Congratulations on your victory.

84
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,707
Oh, thank you, Principal Vaughn.

85
00:04:51,332 --> 00:04:52,834
Members of the board, I am...
 86
00:04:54,043 --> 00:04:55,962
I'm humbled to stand before you today.

87
00:04:56,921 --> 00:04:57,880
[clears throat]

88
00:04:58,089 --> 00:05:01,759
Drinking straws have been around
since the third millennium BCE,

89
00:05:01,843 --> 00:05:04,304
since the ancient Sumerians
used straws made of gold.

90
00:05:04,387 --> 00:05:06,723
Ryegrass eventually became used
and then paper.

91
00:05:06,806 --> 00:05:10,977
And in 1955, single-use straws
made of plastic became the norm.

92
00:05:11,227 --> 00:05:15,565
Now over 500 million straws are used
and thrown away each and every day.

93
00:05:15,648 --> 00:05:18,693
That's enough straws to wrap around
our Earth two and a half times.

94
00:05:18,776 --> 00:05:20,361
It's an ecological disaster

95
00:05:21,112 --> 00:05:22,363
and a moral catastrophe.

96
00:05:22,655 --> 00:05:25,950
Board members, I come before you here
to propose that St. Sebastian ban the use

97
00:05:26,034 --> 00:05:27,660
 of all single-use plastic straws.

98
00:05:27,744 --> 00:05:30,330
For the cost of just one penny per straw,

99
00:05:30,747 --> 00:05:32,248
we can join the city of Malibu

100
00:05:32,582 --> 00:05:34,250
and McDonald's UK,

101
00:05:35,209 --> 00:05:40,173
and become part of the solution
to this looming environmental catastrophe.

102
00:05:40,256 --> 00:05:41,382
[man] A penny per straw.

103
00:05:41,591 --> 00:05:44,093
The school goes through thousands
of straws every day.

104
00:05:44,177 --> 00:05:45,053
That's a lot of money.

105
00:05:45,136 --> 00:05:47,138
Where do you propose the money comes from?

106
00:05:47,722 --> 00:05:50,058
-Well--
-Mr. Hobart, you should know that straws

107
00:05:50,141 --> 00:05:52,560
are part of an omnibus
cafeteria supplies contract

108
00:05:52,643 --> 00:05:54,062
we have with Cali Food Service,

109
00:05:54,145 --> 00:05:58,316
so we'll be getting plastic straws
through the year 2025 anyway.
 110
00:05:58,399 --> 00:06:00,360
That's tens of thousands of straws.

111
00:06:00,902 --> 00:06:02,695
What do we do with them? Throw them away?

112
00:06:03,780 --> 00:06:06,324
Also, this just came to my mind,

113
00:06:06,407 --> 00:06:08,785
a lot of kids like chewing
on plastic straws.

114
00:06:09,118 --> 00:06:10,119
I sometimes do.

115
00:06:10,620 --> 00:06:11,954
Sort of an oral fixation thing.

116
00:06:12,205 --> 00:06:14,248
And I wonder,
if we get rid of those straws,

117
00:06:14,332 --> 00:06:16,626
are these kids gonna be
more likely to, say,

118
00:06:16,709 --> 00:06:19,253
smoke cigarettes or vape?
Do you have any data on that?

119
00:06:20,129 --> 00:06:23,549
[stammers] Smoke, um, that's definitely
something we can look into.

120
00:06:23,633 --> 00:06:25,593
Before the board take the vote on this--

121
00:06:25,676 --> 00:06:27,387
So, we're taking a straw poll?
 122
00:06:27,470 --> 00:06:29,472
[all chuckling]

123
00:06:29,555 --> 00:06:30,640
All those in favor?

124
00:06:32,058 --> 00:06:33,226
Motion is denied.

125
00:06:33,309 --> 00:06:35,061
-[gavel strikes]
-Thank you, Payton.

126
00:06:35,144 --> 00:06:36,521
And congratulations again.

127
00:06:38,523 --> 00:06:39,607
[stammers]

128
00:06:39,732 --> 00:06:40,691
Thank you.

129
00:06:45,363 --> 00:06:49,200
The next item is the motion to change
compact fluorescent light bulbs

130
00:06:49,283 --> 00:06:51,911
in common areas from soft white
to cool white.

131
00:06:58,835 --> 00:06:59,961
Infinity?

132
00:07:03,756 --> 00:07:06,175
Answer me! I know you're in there!

133
00:07:07,051 --> 00:07:08,010
How'd you find me here?

134
00:07:08,261 --> 00:07:10,054
Ray, he told me.
 135
00:07:10,138 --> 00:07:11,097
Come on. Let me come in.

136
00:07:11,180 --> 00:07:13,349
I can't talk to you
through a crack in the door.

137
00:07:13,433 --> 00:07:15,226
Tough titties, Nana.

138
00:07:16,018 --> 00:07:17,228
Infinity!

139
00:07:18,688 --> 00:07:21,691
Oh, please, honey! Please!

140
00:07:22,608 --> 00:07:24,902
It'll just take a minute, I promise,
then I'll leave.

141
00:07:24,986 --> 00:07:26,571
[groans]

142
00:07:32,034 --> 00:07:32,869
Wow.

143
00:07:33,661 --> 00:07:36,664
-Well, how are you affording this?
-You should ask Ray that.

144
00:07:36,747 --> 00:07:38,124
He's the one paying for it.

145
00:07:38,708 --> 00:07:40,710
It's a place of my own until I graduate.

146
00:07:40,793 --> 00:07:45,339
And all the pistachio
and framboise macarons that I want.

147
 00:07:45,423 --> 00:07:48,301
That's my price
for not sending him to prison.

148
00:07:48,593 --> 00:07:49,844
Stupid idiot.

149
00:07:49,927 --> 00:07:53,306
Oh, honey, you can't just eat macarons.

150
00:07:53,389 --> 00:07:55,308
You're gonna end up with diabetes.

151
00:07:55,391 --> 00:07:57,477
But that's-- Nana, that's on you.

152
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,270
I'd never even tried a macaron

153
00:07:59,353 --> 00:08:02,523
until you got us into Club 33
at Disneyland.

154
00:08:02,773 --> 00:08:06,652
Guess what? From now on,
I only want fancy things in my life.

155
00:08:06,736 --> 00:08:08,654
I just can't believe what I'm hearing.

156
00:08:08,738 --> 00:08:12,241
-No?
-I mean, I don't even recognize you.

157
00:08:12,325 --> 00:08:13,367
Good!

158
00:08:13,910 --> 00:08:16,871
-You can't smoke in here.
-Oh, of course I can smoke in here.

159
00:08:16,954 --> 00:08:18,831
 You can't smoke in here.

160
00:08:28,758 --> 00:08:29,592
Nana?

161
00:08:30,927 --> 00:08:32,261
How did my mom die?

162
00:08:34,514 --> 00:08:35,723
Well, now, why...

163
00:08:36,390 --> 00:08:39,685
why would you ask me something
that you already know?

164
00:08:39,936 --> 00:08:42,021
She died of kidney failure.

165
00:08:42,522 --> 00:08:43,356
Yeah.

166
00:08:44,565 --> 00:08:46,317
But what caused the kidney failure?

167
00:08:46,901 --> 00:08:48,903
I mean, if we had known that, maybe,

168
00:08:48,986 --> 00:08:51,781
you know, maybe...
we could've helped her.

169
00:08:51,864 --> 00:08:54,075
So, look, all her blood tests

170
00:08:54,158 --> 00:08:56,577
say that she had lead poisoning,

171
00:08:56,661 --> 00:08:58,162
but was never treated for it.

172
00:08:58,246 --> 00:08:59,956
 Maybe that's because Ray...

173
00:09:01,290 --> 00:09:04,252
was the technician
who never told the doctors.

174
00:09:04,335 --> 00:09:05,878
Is that how you and Ray met?

175

-Now you just hold on--
-There's lead paint in our basement.

I know that.

180
00:09:18,307 --> 00:09:19,850
Because it wasn't safe.

But you did.

182
00:09:23,980 --> 00:09:27,066
You went down into the basement
all the time.

183
00:09:27,149 --> 00:09:30,027
What are you saying? That--
That I went down into the basement

184
00:09:30,111 --> 00:09:32,905
and peeled paint chips off the wall
and fed them to your mother?
 185
00:09:32,989 --> 00:09:35,658
Yeah. That's exactly what I think.

186
00:09:35,950 --> 00:09:37,493
That is insane.

187
00:09:37,577 --> 00:09:39,996
You've been poisoning me! That's insane!

Nana, it makes sense!

189
00:09:42,790 --> 00:09:44,667
I mean, you learned
how to do it on her, right?

190
00:09:44,750 --> 00:09:45,835
That kept her around?

191
00:09:45,918 --> 00:09:48,629
-No, don't drink so much juice--
-You're not the boss of me!

And you realized
all the attention you were getting, right?

193
00:09:52,008 --> 00:09:55,094
This is an outrageous and evil lie.

194
00:09:55,177 --> 00:09:58,389
I have made copies, Nana,
of all of these papers!

Okay, look, the things that Infinity and I

00:18:07,294 --> 00:18:08,962
Happy ending every time.

344
00:18:12,007 --> 00:18:13,008
[Payton sighs]

345
00:18:13,092 --> 00:18:15,094
I think I'm falling
into a clinical depression.

346
00:18:15,177 --> 00:18:16,512
I know, sweetheart.

347
00:18:17,721 --> 00:18:20,682
It's because you don't take any time
to enjoy yourself.

348
00:18:20,933 --> 00:18:22,559
-That's not who I am.
-[closes laptop]

349
00:18:22,726 --> 00:18:23,936
I'm not about enjoyment.
 350
00:18:25,354 --> 00:18:26,980
I'm about winning. [sighs]

351
00:18:27,064 --> 00:18:30,317
I'm about making the world a better place,
and Astrid just took that from me.

352
00:18:30,734 --> 00:18:32,945
I have no mandate, so I have no life.

353
00:18:33,028 --> 00:18:34,113
I have no...

354
00:18:34,863 --> 00:18:36,240
ground to launch from.

355
00:18:36,907 --> 00:18:39,076
Those can't be the only things you enjoy.

356
00:18:39,368 --> 00:18:43,705
You know, I do remember feeling something
when I sang for River at his memorial.

357
00:18:45,707 --> 00:18:47,960
Not happiness per se, but...

358
00:18:49,419 --> 00:18:53,215
just a connection to something
outside the blur of my own ambition and...

359
00:18:54,007 --> 00:18:55,342
thwarted dreams.

360
00:18:55,467 --> 00:18:56,468
Darling,

361
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,720
-you won the election.
-Mmm.

362
00:18:59,012 --> 00:19:00,013
 You did it.

363
00:19:00,556 --> 00:19:03,642
Who cares if you can't get healthy snacks
into the cafeteria

364
00:19:03,725 --> 00:19:06,061
or an emotional support pig
in the classroom?

365
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,188
This is your senior year.

366
00:19:08,272 --> 00:19:10,399
You should be enjoying yourself.

367
00:19:10,774 --> 00:19:12,192
Eat some pizza.

368
00:19:12,276 --> 00:19:14,486
Hang out with friends. Experiment.

369
00:19:15,028 --> 00:19:17,781
-I don't know how to do that.
-Would you like some advice?

370
00:19:19,700 --> 00:19:21,994
Find some way
to bring music into your life.

371
00:19:24,663 --> 00:19:26,999
[opens laptop, taps keyboard]

372
00:19:27,958 --> 00:19:29,585
[chatter resumes on video]

373
00:19:29,668 --> 00:19:30,961
-[woman 1] You okay?
-[man] Yeah.

374
00:19:31,044 --> 00:19:32,045
-Oh, my.
 -[woman 1] Really?

375
00:19:32,129 --> 00:19:33,797
-That's big.
-I'm not hurting you?

376
00:19:34,673 --> 00:19:36,008
[Georgina whimpers]

377
00:19:36,341 --> 00:19:37,467
Hello again, everyone.

378
00:19:38,302 --> 00:19:40,721
St. Sebastian is home
to 57 drinking fountains.

379
00:19:41,305 --> 00:19:44,474
Now almost two dozen are rarely used,
and nine,

380
00:19:44,892 --> 00:19:46,226
this may come as a shock to you,

381
00:19:46,310 --> 00:19:48,604
in a week of monitoring,
were not used at all.

382
00:19:48,937 --> 00:19:50,314
This is a waste of energy,

383
00:19:50,397 --> 00:19:54,151
and it is taxpayer dollars
literally going down the drain.

384
00:19:57,321 --> 00:19:58,238
'Cause...

385
00:19:59,656 --> 00:20:01,742
[sighs] Um, so I'm here to propose a plan

386
00:20:01,825 --> 00:20:05,037
that would remove 15 of the
lowest-performing drinking fountains,

387
00:20:05,454 --> 00:20:08,332
and use the revenue saved
to replace the remainder

388
00:20:08,415 --> 00:20:11,335
with state-of-the-art
eco-conscious fountains.

389
00:20:12,044 --> 00:20:14,296
-Motion denied. Thank you, Payton.
-[gavel strikes]

390
00:20:14,379 --> 00:20:17,633
We're gonna take a short recess
and reconvene in five minutes.

391
00:20:24,598 --> 00:20:26,934
This is a disaster.

392
00:20:27,017 --> 00:20:29,561
Yeah. They don't seem at all interested
in water-use policy.

393
00:20:29,645 --> 00:20:31,230
No, I mean Payton.

394
00:20:31,688 --> 00:20:33,649
He's the disaster. He has no agenda.

395
00:20:34,942 --> 00:20:36,944
We need him out of the way
so we can do something.

396
00:20:37,027 --> 00:20:38,737
-What do you mean?
-Why are we talking straws

397
00:20:38,820 --> 00:20:39,863
and water fountains?

398
 00:20:40,072 --> 00:20:42,491
We should be up there asking
why girls' participation in sports

399
00:20:42,574 --> 00:20:43,951
is half of what it is among boys.

400
00:20:44,618 --> 00:20:46,328
It's like a Title IX issue right there.

401
00:20:49,289 --> 00:20:51,500
"You should be president."
That's what you're thinking.

402
00:20:51,583 --> 00:20:53,669
-I didn't say that.
-You didn't have to.

403
00:20:55,212 --> 00:20:57,881
We need to get rid of him, McAfee.

404
00:21:04,388 --> 00:21:05,305
Why are you doing this?

405
00:21:05,389 --> 00:21:07,724
I'm giving you sensible,
common sense proposals.

406
00:21:07,975 --> 00:21:10,185
You're giving me useless,
expensive proposals

407
00:21:10,269 --> 00:21:11,645
that will cost me my job.

408
00:21:11,728 --> 00:21:14,731
If you're not willing to take risks,
maybe you don't deserve your job.

409
00:21:15,357 --> 00:21:16,942
You didn't win the election, Payton.

410
 00:21:17,025 --> 00:21:18,902
Yeah, I know.
Astrid dropped out before I could.

411
00:21:18,986 --> 00:21:22,239
We counted the ballots,
and Astrid won the election by two votes.

412
00:21:23,115 --> 00:21:23,949
What?

413
00:21:24,032 --> 00:21:26,118
You don't speak for the students
at St. Sebastian.

414
00:21:26,201 --> 00:21:28,620
They heard your message,
but they picked somebody else.

415
00:21:28,704 --> 00:21:29,955
You don't have a mandate.

416
00:21:30,289 --> 00:21:31,623
You're not Barack Obama.

417
00:21:31,707 --> 00:21:32,833
You're Gerald Ford.

418
00:21:34,042 --> 00:21:35,294
Enjoy your senior year.

419
00:21:44,219 --> 00:21:45,304
Hi, it's Payton.

420
00:21:52,686 --> 00:21:53,687
What do you want?

421
00:21:55,314 --> 00:21:56,857
I was wondering, um...

422
00:21:58,692 --> 00:21:59,776
Can I buy you dinner?
 423
00:21:59,860 --> 00:22:01,611
-[crickets chirping]
-[Infinity] Mmm!

424
00:22:01,695 --> 00:22:03,488
[muffled] Mmm. That was good.

425
00:22:04,197 --> 00:22:05,157
You look great.

426
00:22:05,949 --> 00:22:06,867
You...

427
00:22:07,159 --> 00:22:09,911
-definitely got your appetite back.
-[both chuckle]

428
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:12,122
Well, food...

429
00:22:13,665 --> 00:22:15,625
Food finally tastes normal again.

430
00:22:15,709 --> 00:22:19,463
Chemo made everything taste spicy.
Like, if there was one speck of pepper...

431
00:22:20,630 --> 00:22:23,133
my whole mouth would burn
like it was on fire. [chuckles]

432
00:22:25,302 --> 00:22:26,636
Infinity, um...

433
00:22:28,972 --> 00:22:30,766
So, I think I owe you an enormous apology.

434
00:22:31,224 --> 00:22:34,186
Why? I mean,
you said it yourself, you s--
 435
00:22:37,022 --> 00:22:38,065
you saved my life.

436
00:22:38,315 --> 00:22:40,567
Yeah, but I went about it all wrong.

437
00:22:41,151 --> 00:22:42,944
I was a politician...

438
00:22:44,613 --> 00:22:45,947
and not a human being.

439
00:22:47,157 --> 00:22:48,492
What happened to you is terrible.

440
00:22:48,742 --> 00:22:50,660
And I just got caught up in it

441
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:52,079
because of my...

442
00:22:52,621 --> 00:22:54,247
my ambition, you know?

443
00:22:54,331 --> 00:22:56,166
But I have an idea that I think...

444
00:22:56,792 --> 00:22:58,794
I think could be really great for you.

445
00:22:58,877 --> 00:23:01,129
It's something that I'm gonna do to try...

446
00:23:01,922 --> 00:23:03,799
and enjoy my last few months here.

447
00:23:05,967 --> 00:23:06,802
Try at least.

448
00:23:06,885 --> 00:23:09,179
 And I really think that it might

449
00:23:10,055 --> 00:23:12,307
actually be fun if we did it together.

450
00:23:15,227 --> 00:23:16,186
What is it?

451
00:23:20,774 --> 00:23:21,900
[Payton clears throat]

452
00:23:23,485 --> 00:23:25,445
Hello. I'm Payton Hobart.

453
00:23:25,529 --> 00:23:28,907
I will be auditioning for...
any of the male leads.

454
00:23:28,990 --> 00:23:33,578
Payton, can I just say
I was at the assembly for River

455
00:23:33,662 --> 00:23:35,914
when you sang that amazing song to him.

456
00:23:35,997 --> 00:23:37,916
You, sir, don't have to audition.

457
00:23:38,750 --> 00:23:41,378
Would you consider playing the part
of John Hinckley?

458
00:23:41,461 --> 00:23:44,381
Trust me, it's the role.
You'll be fantastic.

459
00:23:44,464 --> 00:23:45,590
[stammers] Yeah, sure.

460
00:23:45,674 --> 00:23:46,633
Oh, great.
 461
00:23:46,716 --> 00:23:48,176
Thank you, Payton.

462
00:23:48,260 --> 00:23:49,511
Rehearsals start Monday.

463
00:23:49,594 --> 00:23:52,222
Um, I do actually have one condition,
though. Um...

464
00:23:53,140 --> 00:23:53,974
[whispers] Come on.

465
00:23:54,057 --> 00:23:58,687
I will only do the show if you can
cast my friend Infinity as well.

466
00:24:01,815 --> 00:24:04,359
Oh! [giggling]

467
00:24:04,443 --> 00:24:05,485
It's so bright.

468
00:24:06,486 --> 00:24:08,280
My name is Infinity Jackson,

469
00:24:08,363 --> 00:24:12,659
and I'm specifically trying out
for the role of Squeaky Fromme.

470
00:24:12,742 --> 00:24:13,577
Ah.

471
00:24:15,245 --> 00:24:17,664
What's the next one?
Red leather, yellow leather.

472
00:24:17,747 --> 00:24:20,709
-Red leather, ye-- llow leather.
-[knocking at door]

473
 00:24:25,464 --> 00:24:26,298
[whispers] Hey.

474
00:24:27,883 --> 00:24:30,177
Infinity! Can I please talk to you?

475
00:24:31,761 --> 00:24:33,054
I'm dying every day.

476
00:24:33,430 --> 00:24:34,973
Who told you that I was here?

477
00:24:35,056 --> 00:24:38,018
Your nana. She wants us to be together.
She told me so.

478
00:24:40,020 --> 00:24:42,189
Ricardo, finding out that I wasn't dying

479
00:24:42,272 --> 00:24:44,608
was the best thing
that's ever happened to me.

480
00:24:44,691 --> 00:24:48,361
It opened my eyes, and now I can see
all the things that my life can be.

481
00:24:48,445 --> 00:24:50,822
I can have my own place.
I can eat macarons.

482
00:24:50,906 --> 00:24:53,867
I can go to Paris.
I can play the lead in a musical.

483
00:24:53,950 --> 00:24:54,951
-What?
-Yeah, that's right.

484
00:24:55,035 --> 00:24:57,954
They're doing Assassins at school
and I got the part of Squeaky Fromme.
 485
00:24:58,038 --> 00:24:59,080
It is, uh...

486
00:25:01,082 --> 00:25:03,126
It's the best part in the show. [chuckles]

487
00:25:03,668 --> 00:25:04,753
No.

488
00:25:04,836 --> 00:25:05,921
Yeah.

489
00:25:06,004 --> 00:25:08,590
-Best part of the show is John Hinckley.
-Goodbye.

490
00:25:09,257 --> 00:25:10,759
Forever, Ricardo.

491
00:25:12,761 --> 00:25:13,845
Infinity!

492
00:25:14,804 --> 00:25:16,264
You're not gonna get a second chance.

493
00:25:17,057 --> 00:25:19,476
I'm warning you!
Something really bad is gonna happen.

494
00:25:19,726 --> 00:25:21,436
I don't care!

495
00:25:25,148 --> 00:25:28,360
[director] I don't think you can be
in the show if you don't go here.

496
00:25:28,985 --> 00:25:30,362
Well, I used to go here.

497
00:25:31,196 --> 00:25:32,948
But I dropped out a couple years ago.
 498
00:25:33,031 --> 00:25:34,658
And I talked to the career counselor

499
00:25:34,741 --> 00:25:37,911
about enrolling in some night classes
to get my GED, so...

500
00:25:38,912 --> 00:25:40,580
technically I will be going here.

501
00:25:40,664 --> 00:25:43,083
Look, I know you need guys.

502
00:25:43,166 --> 00:25:44,918
And I really wanna be a part of this show.

503
00:25:45,001 --> 00:25:49,381
Oh, okay, well, you do have to audition.
Is there a song you'd like to sing?

504
00:25:49,464 --> 00:25:50,298
Yeah.

505
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,885
I'm gonna sing "Beneath a Moonless Sky"

506
00:25:54,344 --> 00:25:56,763
from Andrew Lloyd Webber's
Love Never Dies.

507
00:25:56,846 --> 00:25:58,473
It's the sequel to Phantom of the Opera.

508
00:25:59,975 --> 00:26:01,434
Hit it, Ms. Piano DJ.

509
00:26:03,353 --> 00:26:07,524
Congratulations,
cast of Stephen Sondheim's Assassins.

510
 00:26:08,066 --> 00:26:09,859
Okay, so, uh...

511
00:26:09,943 --> 00:26:14,197
I think you all know one another,
but I'd like to introduce Ricardo.

512
00:26:14,281 --> 00:26:16,908
He is a continuing education student here,

513
00:26:16,992 --> 00:26:20,620
and he is our John Wilkes Booth.

514
00:26:22,289 --> 00:26:24,291
[whispers]

686
00:34:46,042 --> 00:34:49,045
And I went along with it,
which now I realize I shouldn't have.

687
00:34:49,670 --> 00:34:53,549
Because I wanted to do something nice for
someone who I actually think is an idiot,

688
00:34:53,633 --> 00:34:54,509

-Number one, screw you.

Number two, I'm dumping your ass.

693
00:35:06,854 --> 00:35:09,524
And I'm probably doing you a favor
because I don't think you're gay,

you tight-ass, stuck-up tourist.

695
00:35:11,609 --> 00:35:14,612
If you were, you'd know your way
around a woman's body,

I saw a man get murdered by a bear.

I don't think a bear can murder a man.

714

He can kill him, but murdering
sounds like there's malicious intent.
