Adolescence (2018) - full transcript

You want something to drink?

Okay, love?

Knock it off, give him back his toy!

What's the matter with you?

- I was just joking.
- Pick on someone

your own size!

Do you want someone to pick on you?

Hey!

Jennette, is that you?

Oh, my God!
- I can't believe it!

Jenny, you look incredible!



Thank you, you too.

Are those your kids?

Yeah.

This is Adam, this is Ben.

Say hi to Mommy's friend, John.

How's it going?

I love what you did with your hair.

Thanks.

So, uh, are you married?

Yeah, that
didn't work out so well.

No, same, same old situation.

You guys want a snack?

You get the Goldfish?

I got the Goldfish.



Oh good, you got the big bag.

So you were gone a while.

Were we?

I don't know, you know,
that's grocery shopping.

A few hours, at least.

You didn't forget anything?

What we talked about last night,

maybe going to the park today?

Oh no, I'm sorry, I did forget!

Sorry.

You're so sweaty.

Yeah, I was working on my bike.

Why does your hair smell?

You smell like cologne.

No, I don't.

Yeah, you do.

- Get off of me!
- Hold it!

Okay, get off me.

I'm just saying.
- Adam?

It's not cologne.

You know what, I'm done talking to you.

I don't believe a word you say.

Hey Adam?

Adam?

Yes?

Anything exciting happen
after the grocery store?

- Oh, for God's sakes.
- A new friend?

We talked to a friend of Mom's.

Is that what you told him to say?

Did he get it right?
- No, we just talked

for two seconds, shut up.

What was her name?

Leave him alone!

You're insane.

Where you going?

I'm not down talking to you!

Don't follow me.

Don't do that, I
hate when you walk away!

It's gonna be okay, I'll be right back.

Mom!

Dad, what are you doing?

Leave her alone!

Fuck, I'm sorry!

Hi.

Morning.

Morning buddy.

Shoot, I burned these.

Oops, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

I want onions.

Just eat the eggs.

Just eat the eggs.

What's that toy you got there?

It's Neil Armstrong.

I'm gonna be an astronaut just like him

when I grow up.

Except I want to go to
further away planets.

He only went to the moon.

Just give me a quick
one before the test.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay, just any random one, right?

Yes.

All right negligent representation

occurs when?

A broker should know that,

shoot.

A broker should know
that a statement about

the material

fact is false.

Yes.

You got it.

You're gonna be selling houses in no time.

Yeah, fingers crossed, I'm gonna be.

Okay.

Please,

eat breakfast and do not
skip school today, okay.

Uh huh.

Hi Ms. Homer.

You know you want it, Ms. Homers.

No, not today.

Hey man.

Do you think she'll smoke
one of these with us one day?

No.

There you go.

Oh shit, where'd you get this?

Don't worry about it.

It's gonna be a good day.

Yeah.

Shit dude, it's Sarah.

Say something.

No dude.

Say something man.

I'm not gonna talk to Sarah.

Dude.
- Hey Sarah.

Looking good Sarah.

That's cute.

Look what you did.

She said that's cute.

Take this.

Why did you do that?

She spoke to us.

She spoke to you.

Now she's not gonna speak to me.

You have to start speaking up.

Whatever man.

Do you want to skip first period?

We have a history test first period.

You studied for that?

No.

I mean I don't want to go to history.

Let's get out of here.

Great decision.

Did you see what she was wearing though?

Oh look at that.

Look at her friend looking at my butt.

Look.

She's checking me out.

She's not looking at you.

She's checking out my butt.

Now this is a record store.

You like Bowie?

Sometimes.

Sometimes.

All right.

♪ Time doing nothing ♪

♪ Taking ♪

I don't get it.

Like this is why I got an iPod.

What do you mean?

This is a lot.

Overwhelming.

Dude, I mean

music is supposed to be heard on vinyl.

It's authentic.

You know what else is authentic?

My iPod.

Your iPod is not authentic.

What are you talking about?

You kids
gonna buy something or what?

No thanks sir, we're just browsing.

Okay, well there's no
browsing in my store.

But something or get out.

Did he just say there's no browsing?

What do you mean no browsing?

We're in a store.

Yeah, it's not a library.

Buy something or get the hell out.

You know what sir,

this is terrible customer service.

Yeah, I'm trying to find a record.

So I won't be
making any purchases today.

Oh I'm sorry, maybe you should register

a complaint to the corporate office.

Actually, I change my mind.

I want to buy this.

Oh, I want to buy all of these.

I want to get that.

Get those ones.

And I want to get this.

Oh, I changed my mind again.

Jokes on you.

And guess what,

we actually had money.

Oh, what a shame.

Bro, I told you
today was gonna be a good day.

Yeah, I just hope Mr. Z's not pissed.

I actually like that class.

Nice man.

I mean I was gonna buy it,

but he was being a dick.

Hey Keith.

How do you talk to girls like Sarah?

Probably because I'm charming.

Got a little facial hair.

Dude,

I'm being serious, come on.

It's confidence man, confidence.

You know what,

I'm gonna set you up tomorrow.

And you're not gonna know it's coming,

so you're not gonna be nervous.

What do you mean?

Don't worry about that, okay.

Let's make a bet.

Let's put 20 bucks on it.

All right.

20 bucks?

Deal?

Deal.

Cool.

Easy money.

One can never be alone enough to write,

to see better.

The writer, Susan Sontag said that.

And Keats, you all remember Keats?

Yeah.

Keats said that solitude
is our greatest conduit

into truth and beauty.

Solitude.

A lot of great writers who were loners.

Angel's a great writer.

Thank you.

Having said that, how do we tell stories

without experience?

We need to interact with the world to

be inspired, right,

to grow as artists.

Dave Hume called it our
intercourse with the world.

Why is that funny?

All right, you all graduate
one month from today.

Your final assignment for me

to write about an experience

that moved you, that inspired you,

that rocked your world.

It can be about the love of
your life broke your heart.

Or the day you say a leaf fall from a tree

and thought it was beautiful.

10 pages minimum.

Now's a good time to start your outlines.

Come on, you got 20 minutes left.

Hey.

What?

I'm sorry, I think this is your pencil.

You know it's not my pencil.

Are we discussing your experience

with the leaf, Mr. Bruner?

I'm sorry, Mr. Z.

Mr. Z.

Yeah?

We need to go to the bathroom.

Together?

Actually yes, we ate a burrito together.

Dude.

A bad burrito.

Actually, a problematic burrito.

Sit down, Mr. Kelly.

Is this your pencil?

Seriously?

I mean what
was I supposed to say?

Say Sarah,

you look beautiful.

Sarah this shirt complements your eyes.

Sarah, you want to go grab a bite to eat?

I'm not you dude.

I'm not smooth like that, you know.

We need to get you out of your element,

put you in a different environment

where nobody knows you.

I'm gonna cupid the shit out of you.

What are you talking about?

You know where we're gonna go?

No.

Venice.

I'm gonna get you some girls.

All girls.

Tall, short,

big, small.

You're ridiculous man.

Cheeseburger, cheeseburger.

John Belushi.

Oh, you cool, you got burgers.

No, I got a burger.

Sorry dude, I thought your
mom would have cooked for you.

I guess I shouldn't be
surprised she's not.

What the hell?

What's going on out there?

She's bathing Ben.

Why, is he a duck?

That shit's funny.

The bathroom hasn't been
fixed in like a month.

There you go.

Any fucking excuse, right.

You know, I worked 54 and
a half hours last week.

When the hell am I supposed to come home,

and do the plumbing,

and do the lawn,

and do all the other fucking shit.

No, no, keep writing.

Really.

I'll be in my room.

Whatever.

Here, take this.

No, I don't need it.

It's fine.

You don't need it now.

You can bitch about it,
but you don't need it.

Ah, this is beautiful.

We're gonna find the
perfect match for you, okay.

Okay.

We're gonna get you a 10.

We ain't settling.

That's all I'm saying.

A 10?

Which one you want?

That one?

Not her.

Why you looking over there?

You said not her.

So I just look automatically.

No, don't look over there.

Oh, roller blades.

Perfect.

Perfect.

Talk to her.

Oh I am so sorry.

Seriously?

I'm so sorry.

Go talk to her.

Dude, why did you do that?

Let her hit you?

So you can talk to her, bro.

Oh right here, hey, hey, hey.

Hello.

I'm done.

Dude, come on.

You wave to her bro.

I didn't know what to do.

I'm done.

This is pointless.

Man.

I don't know what to say.

I don't have game like you.

Let me do everything.

Black holes

You're still up?

Yeah.

And they also.

Where's mom?

She's out.

Dad's in bed.

Yeah?

Visible places in space.

What you watching?

Black holes.

Did you know they eat galaxies?

I didn't know that.

That's really cool.

When a star runs out of gas to burn,

it collapses in on itself

and creates a black hole
that will suck in anything,

light, heat,

gas,

asteroids, spaceships,

hunks of metal,

anything.

Hunks of metal?

Wow.

Most galaxies,
including the Milky Way

have black holes in their center.

Hey, I gotta get you
to bed though, okay.

It's really late.

Okay.

All right.

Bring your toy with you.

Hey buddy, what's this?

If I sell enough candy,

I can go on the Disneyland trip.

How much money do you
got to make for that?

I need to make $50.

$50?

That's a lot of money.

How much have you made so far?

Not very much.

Oh really.

Here, let's get your toys

so you can get to bed.

I'm gonna put this up here, okay.

Okay.

All right, let's get to bed.

Here you go.

Hey, I got something for you.

You can add this to your envelope.

- Yeah.
- All right.

I'm gonna go to bed.

Don't look at the stars too long.

Okay.

All right.

I love you.

I love you too.

Shh.

I have to go.

Stay up late?

Yeah.

You okay?

I'm all right.

Okay.

How did your test go?

I didn't get to take it.

Tim had me do a double shift.

It's awesome, I'll take it next week.

You sure you're okay?

Yeah.

I gotta go.

Hey.

Hello again.

School day?

Yeah.

Learn anything?

Not really.

It's really peaceful out here.

Yeah, I like it.

It's good for thinking,

and not thinking.

Yeah.

I love not thinking.

You live around here?

Uh huh.

Over there.

You can't see it from here.

You know I didn't think
I would ever see you again.

I have something I think you'll like.

I got it from Maya last night.

What is this?

Do I swallow it?

Uh huh.

Let me see.

Good.

Shep's band's playing tonight.

It'll be pretty cool.

I'm going with the girls.

You want to come?

Sure.

Up, up, up.

What did you give me?

You'll see.

How you feeling?

Amazing.

My jacket feels so cool.

Feel my jacket.

I like the feel of your jacket better.

Me too.

You feel your hair?

Can you feel your hair glowing?

You know what'd be really cool?

If I had a jacket made out of hair.

Bring your pills.

You should really get a collar,

and then you could do this.

I know, right.

This is amazing.

I think I, I think I might...

Don't say those words.

Do not say it.

Okay.

Yeah but...

I'll hit you across the
head with this rock.

All right man, I won't say it.

Rule number one, we don't say that word.

That's all I'm saying, okay.

Now you can go write it
in your little journal.

Fuck off man.

Don't say it out loud.

How's the bathroom coming?

It's coming.

I got a couple things
to get from Home Depot.

I'd like to take a
shower one of these days.

And the kid needs a real bath.

Where the hell have you been?

I spent the night at Keith's house.

Hey, how you doing Kieth?

Hey Mrs. Broner.

Hey sweetie.

Hey.

So these guys just chilling

He see the bombs go off...

Hey, I don't really need the soda.

I'm not really thirsty or anything.

Yeah, the bathroom's upstairs.

Go fix it asshole.

Get off my fucking back.

Fix the bathroom, it's upstairs.

Get off my fucking back.

Sorry.

- Yeah?

Has anybody told you

Dude, stop hitting on my mom.

Thanks, Keith.

Dude, I'm not gonna
bring you over here anymore

if you're staring at my mom all the time.

All right.

Do you need help folding

Yeah, why don't you help me with these?

Oh.

I love your mom.

What the hell, man?

Hey.

Yeah?

Hey,

Keith and Maya,

they wanted to go to the
movies tomorrow night.

Do you wanna go?

Oh, like a double date?

Yeah, I guess.

No.

I have some shit I have to deal with.

Okay.

What are you drawing?

Nothing.

No, show me.

Really?

Uh huh.

Okay,

Cause the rest is kind of private.

Okay.

Don't you understand that?

You know that I really could have

anybody that I wanted.

Alice

lost her father when she was very young.

Her mother

went from boyfriend to boyfriend,

drug her across every 50
state in this fucking union,

until she found herself on her own,

homeless in the streets.

I was downtown,

I found her, she was

emaciated.

She was dirty.

She was

abused.

Those fucking scumbags.

So I brought her home,

cleaned her up,

gave her a job.

Made her a part of this family.

And now

she's like my daughter,

and I fucking love her.

Not quite.

Chapter one.

There was this dickhead
who came to my house

and shat and pissed

and crapped in my bed,

and on my floors.

And while he was doing that,

I did my very best to keep
that little fucker clean.

Me and Nikki's mom fell in love

when we were young,

very young.

She got pregnant.

My beautiful little Nikki came along.

Five years we tried playing house,

happy family, and all that.

But,

I was too young, man.

So I just pack my bag one night.

And I was leaving.

And Nikki said to me the night before,

Daddy, will you take me
to the beach tomorrow.

And I said of course, darling.

Promise.

Promise, I promise.

My last memory of her.

She was sitting on the couch

in this little,

a little polka dot suit,

waiting for her daddy.

Any man

that does that to a kid,

well he ain't no fucking man.

Look at that.

That now, my boys,

is what you call

fucking beautiful.

Here, this is a treat.

Don't go crazy you little bastard.

Oh, no, I quit.

Caroline's not into that.

I haven't heard from Alice at all.

I tried calling her.

I tried.

She won't return my texts.

I have heard from Alice in weeks.

I don't expect to.

It's just what she does.

Next guy comes along,

she disappears.

Listen,

I think I can help her.

I mean like you guys helped me.

You think you can help her?

Yeah.

Do you think I didn't try to help her

all these years?

She ain't done until she is done.

It's just the way it is.

And until then,

there's nothing you can do.

I'm out.

Nice job.

Good luck.

Thanks, Shep.

Adam, honey.

Aunt Julie,

what are you doing here?

I'm so glad you're home.

Come in, I need to talk
to you about something.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

Hey mom.

It's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay.

Hey.

Hey, I'll be right here if you need me.

Thanks man.

Alice?

Alice.

You're trespassing.

Alice.

I got clean.

Shep and Keith, they helped me.

I came back to help you.

You can't live like this Alice.

Please, come with me.

You can't be here anymore.

Alice,

please come with me.

I love you.

I never loved you.

What?

How can you say that to me?

I was just a story for you.

No.

Uh huh.

No.

Did you tell people about me?

Tell them what?

What are you talking about?

I will carry her heart with me,

my broken, beautiful soul,

my runaway.

I see myself in her

like a mirror

that I'm both afraid to look at,

and afraid to look away from.

She's damaged.

Keep reading.

Don't you get it, Alice?

I wrote you in here.

I wrote about me and us.

It's because I loved you.

Let me help you.

Get out.

No.

Get out.

Get out.

Get out.

Get out.

Get out.

Get the fuck out.

I don't want to see you anymore, go away.

Get the fuck out.

Go on, get out.

Get out.

Hey,

hey Adam.

Adam?

Adam?

Oh no, no, no, no.

Here you go.

Jesus.

Hey dad.

Hey.

I wanted to

stop by and thank you for the bike.

You're welcome.

Look, I'm gonna go
away for a little while.

I just got to,

I got to figure my life out.

Sure, I get that.

Cool.

I'll see you later, dad.

Okay.

Hey,

Adam.

Yeah?

Be safe, will you?

I will.

You should go home.

Okay.

I will.

That was my kid.

Yeah?

You believe it.

Hey buddy.

I got a present for you.

Space Mountain.

This is for you, okay.

But you got to promise me

that you take pictures, all right.

I will.

I'll take pictures.

You know, you're gonna be
a great astronaut someday.

I'm gonna see you on TV

flying around.

Don't be sad, it's gonna be okay.

All right.

I love you buddy.

I love you too.

Still got it.

See you, Keith.

Where the fuck
did you get that piece of shit?

My dad gave it to me.

Be careful on this thing.

You realize

to keep the rubber down on the ground.

I'd hate to lose you.

I'm very fond of you.
