Perfect High (2015) - full transcript

Hi, judges.

We'’re the Lakewood High
Rhythm Chasers,

and this is our audition
for Talent Nation.

[R&B dance music]

Ok, hold up, hold up you guys,

that was awesome, ok?

But we'’re coming out slow
out of that turn.

Amanda knows it.
Show us, ok?

One, two, and three
and four...

She throws her arms
into that cross,

and she keeps
the line straight.



Well done.
Ok? Let'’s do it again.

And five, six, seven, eight.

That'’s it.

Uh-huh.

Good.

Keepin'’ it turned up, Walker.

I just gotta work on that
break down more,

and get it tight.

Take a compliment, '’kay?

BT-dubs we need to come up
with some more steps.

You wanna take a shot at it?

Down!

Alexis is great
with choreography, too.

'’Kay.



Just keep it cute.

Keep it cute, '’kay?

Shh!
She'’ll hear you.

[Giggles]

Come on.
Selfie time!

Smile!Look, I really wanna go
to this party.

Are you gonna come
with me or not?

Not tonight.

What is wrong with you?!

Urgh! Fine!

Headed for Splitsville.Yeah, right.

They'’ve been together
forever.

Cyberstalking tie-breaker.

[Gasps]Yep.

He totally deleted all her
pics from his profile.

Oh, that is breaking news.

Wait, wait, take it again.

Josh Rosen just liked our pic.

Ok, let'’s do that hottie
step again.

One, and two, and three,
ball change, step out.

Not enough twerking.

Oh, my goodness.

You wish you were cool.

Where were you today?

Mom called, but of course
I totally covered for you.

I had some very important
stuff I had to do.

Like what?

Saving kittens, brokering
world peace, you know.

The usual.

They'’re saying our staff will
just be absorbed into NorDel.

Ok, so what does that mean
for you?

The buzz is that layoffs
are coming.

Does that mean you'’re gonna
lose your job?

Don'’t worry, honey.

I just have to wow
my new manager.

Easy.

Honey, we should talk
about this later.

Why?
So we don'’t hear you?

Honey, please put your
phone away.Amanda'’s on her phone.

Amanda isn'’t on the verge
of getting held back.

Uh, I can put it away.
Easy.

I'’m taking the freaking
Adderall again.

That'’s supposed to fix this,
right, Mom?Hey.

Lower your voice, please.Why?

So I can pretend everything'’s
ok like you do?

Ok, do you want to be
grounded for another week?

I'’m just gonna do what I want,
anyway.

I'’ll talk to him.

[Kiss]

[Heavy metal music]

That'’s not going to work.

Oh, you mean you don'’t want
some of this?

[Imitates music]

That'’s not funny.

[Laughs]

[Music stops]

God. What kind of music
do you listen to?

The good kind?

[School band plays]

[Audience cheers]

Let'’s go Lakewood!

[Music continues]

Let'’s go Lakewood!

[Hip-hop music]

[Audience cheering]

[Audience cheering]

Aah! Aah!

[Knee snaps]

Aah!

[Gasping]

You guys
give her some space.

Don'’t move her.

Don'’t touch it,
don'’t touch it!

Guys, come on.
Let'’s get her up.

This will be very
uncomfortable,

but I'’ll try to make it fast.

[Gasps in pain]

We'’ve relocated your knee.

All done.

[Clicks]

There you go.

You got everything you need,
Bug?

Yeah, but I don'’t know
if I'’ll be able to sleep.

It kills.

Well, those should help with
the pain a little.

I was impressed with the way
you handled yourself today.

I... I know it wasn'’t easy.

Thanks, Pops.

Good night.

Good night.

What up, bruh?

You probably want
to see this.

Your disgusto knee pic
got crazy heat.

What?
Do I even know 185 people?

You do now.
Everybody loves a gimp.

[photos snapping]

How long do you have to wear
that brace?

Uh, like, two weeks.

But you'’ll be up
for Talent Nation

if we get the audition, right?

Affirmative.

I'’m not missing
that bad boy.

Hey, fall girl.

Status update:
you'’re seriously trending.

[School bell]

Do you need help?

Uh, no.
No, no.

I got this.
Don'’t worry.

These crutches are not
a crutch, yo.

[Laughs] Pun-tastic.

See you later.

Bye.

[R&B music]

Clean it up!

Seriously, it'’s over-sharing.

How many knee pics do we
need to see?

She'’s not like that.

She just feels left out.

Well, annoying everyone
isn'’t gonna get her back

on the floor any sooner.

Hashtag "getoveryourself."

You ok?

You look like you'’re hurting.

Uh, yeah.

I... dislocated my knee,
so it'’s a little jinky.

I know.

I was there.

I'’m Riley, by the way.

Oh, uh, I know who you are.

I mean, because you'’re
in my chem class.

Wow, those are really
nice rings.

Thanks.

Whatcha got there?

Oh, um... hydrocodone.

That'’s no joke.

Sharing is caring.

What?

Um... you want one?

Yeah.

I mean, if you don'’t mind.

No. No, no.

Of course I don'’t.

Thanks.
Feel better, ok?

Thanks.

Yeah.

What'’s the matter, doofus?

Those are my steps.

Not anymore.

[mimics]
Not anymore.

How'’s the leg?

It'’s better.

I mean, it still really hurts,

but the doctor said
that'’s normal.

Oh, can you refill this
for me?

Sure.

I'’ll stop by the pharmacy
on the way home.

Thank you.

[kiss]

Have a good day,
you two.

Love you, Mama.

Love you, too.

Bye, Mom.

Brooke, wait!

Hey, guys!

I'’ll be ready to get back
out there.

Good, we could use
some upgrades.

Well, aren'’t you happy I'’m
gonna be back on the floor?

Of course.

You don'’t really seem jazzed.

How about now?

Do you want to sleep over
after the game on Friday?

Yeah, totally.

[Crowd cheering]

[Hip-hop music]

Hey.

Do you need a ride?

Uh, yeah.

Kinda.

Hey, Carson.

She can roll with us, right?

Yeah.

That dude'’s a tool.

Uh, yeah.

Seriously, dude.
She sucks.

Amanda, this is Nate.

We'’re lovers.

Ri, that sounds ridiculous.

We are just hanging out.

I don'’t understand why people
need to put a label on things.

'’Sup, Amanda?

And don'’t listen to her,
I got her spun.

Uh-uh.
Have you met my brother?

Carson! This is Amanda.

Hi.

You'’re that chick who fell,
right?

Yep. That would be me.

That'’s a crazy video.

Am I taking you home,
or am I--

Oh, no.
She'’s coming over.

Right?

Um, yeah.

But I didn'’t really bring
anything to change, so...

No, you look good.

Girl, I got you.

And I'’ll do your make-up.

You have amazing features,
you know that?

You would seriously
look stunning.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Watch out.

She'’s going to make
you her project.

Shhh. Mm-hmm.

Less dancer-girl,
more girly-girl.

I like it. Let'’s go.

Yo.

There'’s some red cups in
the cupboard right there.

Now let'’s get this party
started.

Dude, it'’s ok.

My dad never notices.

Well, what about your mom?

Um, she lives in Arizona.

That'’s, like, really far away.

Uh, yeah.

Honestly, I don'’t really
know her that well.

She left when I was three,

so Carson kinda knows her
better than I do.

She wasn'’t exactly stable.

Wow, I'’m really sorry.

Don'’t be.

No, that'’s what friends
are for, right?

To fill in the gaps that
family can'’t.

That'’s a really evolved way
to look at it.

Libations!

No subtitles, bro.

It'’s not a rule, bro.

False. This is
the good Bad Movie Club.

Not the bad Bad Movie--

Subtitles don'’t
make a movie bad.

You'’re building a house
of lies.

What'’s your favorite movie?

Um... probably "Say Anything."

That'’s a good one. Classic.

Uh, yeah, boom box!

Lloyd Dobler style!

I will cheers to that.

There you go.

Amanda?

Oh, I can'’t '’cause
I'’m on meds.

Amanda, ok.

Literally everybody in this room
is on meds.

Yeah.

Don'’t believe me?

Ritalin, Paxil, Lexapro.

Go science.

It'’s just BS,
the warning labels.

And don'’t even get me started
with big pharma.

Hey, are you still
on hydrocodone?

Yo, Amanda.

Hook it up, girl!

Ok, if we all take, like,
two and a drink,
it'’ll be full out.

You should probably take
one more though,

'’cause you probably built
a tolerance to it.

Ok.

Yes, there we go.

Ok.

All right, are we ready?

Yes.

[Party music]

Oh, oh oh!
This is my jammy-jam!

[Party music continues]

Whooh!

[Party music continues]

Whoa!

[Party music continues]

Aah!

Hey.

You'’re fine.
Just take a shot.

You ok?

It'’s fine.

Yeah!

[photos snapping]

Ok, Amanda.

You sustained ligament
damage from the fall,

so you need to take it easy.

Uh, ok... but I can still dance,
right?

Another dislocation
could be disastrous,

so you should rest it
for a couple weeks.

Now, remind me what meds
I'’ve got you on?

Hydrocodone.

Ok, so...

Here you go.

Just be sure to schedule a
follow-up in a couple of weeks.

Thanks, Doc.

Sorry, demanding client.

Ok, so what did I miss?

All clear.

Yes!

Hey!

What did the doctor say?

I'’m sorry, who are you again?

I'’m sorry about Friday.

I blanked about our plans
until I got your text way later.

I totally suck.

No, you don'’t totally suck.

I would say it'’s more of a mild
to moderate suckage.

Doc said I'’m good.

Awesome!

But what I really want to know
is what was up

with that pic of you and
Carson Taft on your profile?

We kind of hung out!

No way!

Oh, incoming!

Hey!

Great!

Ok, huddle up, huddle up,
I have an announcement.

We got an email from
Talent Nation,

and you'’ve been invited
to perform

at their regional auditions
in Chicago in two months!

[Cheering]

Ok, ok.

It'’s exciting, but let'’s keep it
in perspective.

We still have
our regular season,

so this will have to be
on top of that

with extra rehearsal
on weekends.

What we need to do now is start
working on the choreography,

so if anyone has
any ideas...

Oh! Uh, I'’ve been working
on some steps.

Great, let'’s get started.

Ok.

One, and two, and three,
and four.

Oh, I like. I like.

Oh, sick!

Ok, wait, show me that.

Except for group to the left.

Oh, ok.

Yeah. Yeah.

That was awesome!

Thank you.

Girl, you have some
serious moves.

Danke.

Bitte.
What are you doing?

Now, or, like, when I'’m 35?

Ok, 35.

Uh, I'’ll be hosting the
fiftieth season of Talent Nation

after we become the
first high school team ever

to sweep the show like an
unstoppable victory train.

Duh.

So what'’s going on with
Bridget and Carson?

Don'’t even get me started.

She is toxic.

I can'’t even.

I think you and Carson
should date.

What?

Mm-hmm.

Come on, Bridget'’s like
a super hottie.

Do you see how hard
she has to try?

You, on the other hand,
are gorgeous.

Look.

Hold on.

No, dude.

She is not good for him at all.

She just strings him along,
and he just lets her

because he has a really
big heart.

That'’s why he needs to be
with someone like you.

Come on.

Do you really think
that Carson would date me?

Um, yes!

That'’s why you have to hang
out with us,

so that he can get to know you.

Ok, try this on.

Dude, trust.

Ok.

Oh, yeah.

Hot mama!

Dude, I am so going to be
a stylist.

Did you know they get paid
tons of money

just to shop for people?

What?

Do you not like it?

No, no, I do, I do, but...

Ahem.

Wow.

Damn, girl!

She looks fierce, right?

He'’s waiting to hear
from her.

Uh-uh.

Dude, we are not waiting
for her.

We'’re gonna watch a movie.

[Movie soundtrack]
And I'’m sorry for you.

I'’m sorry for everybody
in the world, my dear.

They'’re all sorry.

Fantastic.

I liked it.

She was not apologetic
for her sexuality,

which was extremely
progressive for the time.

She text you back yet?

No.

But Living Dead
was way better.

I don'’t know, it doesn'’t
really seem like a lot to ask

just to answer the phone.

So why don'’t you have
a boyfriend?

Um, indecision mostly.

It'’s really hard when, you know,
all these guys are

banging on my door like,
"Yo, girl, come out with me".

So it'’s hard to choose just one.

You know what they say,
life'’s about tough choices.

Dude, you have to be
a film major

so that you can work on
The Walking Dead.

I have legitimate zombie skills.

I'’m not even kidding.

You don'’t believe me?No, I don'’t.

Get ready to get your
mind blown.

Blow my mind.

All right, go.

[Zombie growls]

Pew!

Anybody?

Starving zombie!

Really?
That was golden.

Ok, Ri, show them
why I love you.

Ok.

Uneducated zombie?

What?

[Laughs]

I don'’t get it.

Classic bumping-into-wall
zombie.

I love it.

Thank you.

Amanda, your turn.
Do it.

You gotta do it!

Steppin'’ it up,
she'’s using props.

[Undead growling]

Ditched-at-
the-altar zombie.

No.

[growls]

Zombie bride?

Come on!

It'’s the
I-just-saw-you-and-I'’m-going-

to-alert-all-the-other-
zombies zombie.

Obviously.

I'’m uploading this.

Ok, I love her.

Can we keep her?

Please?

[Dance music]

Great job, you guys.

Sharper, Amanda.

Like Ally'’s doing it.

Better, Amanda.

Ooh.

Ow!
What'’s up, sexy mama?

Are you coming?

Dude, yard sale.

Scoops!

♪ Going to a yard sale

Yard sale, yard sale,
yard sale!

♪ Going to a yard sale

No, this is exactly
what we all need.

A, um... A moon-shaped
banana slicer.

Baby, I got you
something special.

Put that back!

Hey, you ok?

Yeah, my medicine'’s not
working as well anymore,

so my knee'’s kinda hurting.

Ma'’am?

Uh, hi.

Could I possibly use
your bathroom?

I'’ve got a monthly emergency.

Just go on in.

Thank you.

Yo, dude.

Dude.

Check it out.

[Laughs]

Wait.

Come on, it'’s cool.

Oh, yes!

Yeah, ok.

Grab this, type it in,
it'’ll tell you what it'’s for.

Oxycodone.

"For moderate to severe pain,

may be used before surgery to
sedate patient and reduce fear."

I don'’t know, dude.
That sounds sketchy.

It'’s prescribed by a doctor,
dude.

It'’s exactly the same thing
as hydrocodone, but stronger,

which is exactly what you need.
So grab it.

Isn'’t she gonna need these?

She'’s old. Old people lose stuff
all the time.

She'’ll just call her doctor
and get more.

Let'’s go.

You girls find everything
all right?

Yes, thank you so much.

Hi.

How are you doing,
fine sir?

I'’m doing well.

How are you doing?

Smashingly.

Is it all right that
I'’m doing this?

You mean I'’m not just
imagining that?

I really want to kiss you
right now.

Why?

So you can make Bridget
jealous again?

Dude, bro, we need
to sit up.

People are starting
to look at us.

If we get busted, my mom
will lose her mind.

My lady?

Oh, hello.

Sorry, did you ring
the bell?

No, sir, I was about to.

I'’m Carson Taft.

Is Amanda home?

Uh, I don'’t know where else
she'’d be at 9:40

on a Sunday morning.

[Laughs]

Come on in.

Hi.
Hi, there.

Honey, you don'’t want
to be late.

Right.

Coffee?

Oh, thanks.

Nice to meet you.

Uh, what are you doing here?

I come armed with
the breakfast of champions.

Which is...?

Doughnuts.

Well, I'’ll leave you two.

Thanks for the coffee, Carson.

My pleasure.

Ok, we'’ve got chocolate,
glazed,

a little bit
of bear claw action.

And I got you coffee, too.

Thanks.

Um, I should go change.

No, don'’t.
You look great.

And besides, we need
to get started.

I brought subtitles.

You don'’t actually want to hang
out here, do you?

Yeah, you'’re here.

Besides, you'’re all dance
all the time.

You could use a little
classic cinema

and deep fried pastry
in your life.

The universe only gives you
what you can handle, Amanda.This way.

[Movie soundtrack] Anything
can happen, don'’t you think?

Yes, of course.

Aw, it was so good.

I can never get Nate or Riley
to watch any of this.

What about Bridget?

Bridget likes reality TV.

[Laughs]

Sorry.

I know.

Um, so it was kinda her way
or no way.

I have a hard time
letting people go.

Even the wrong ones.

Is that because of your mom?

I'’m sorry.
Riley...

It'’s... it'’s ok.

I mean, yeah.

She left, so it kinda hits
a button.

You'’re really easy to talk to.

I mean, you'’re nice.

Is that code for I'’m boring?

It'’s code for you'’re amazing.

[Music playing]

[Music playing]

Boom. There it is.

We have to get you
in there.

Wheee!

Yeah, um...

I was wondering if I could get
a refill?

I'’m experiencing a lot
of pain still.

Yeah, right.

Um... Ibuprofen.

Thanks, Doc.

Amanda, come on.

Sorry, coming.

And one, two, three,
four, five.

Ok, stop, guys.

What was that?

I, uh... I just spaced...

Um...

Go get some water.

Look, I know everyone'’s tired,
but if we want to get

on this show, we need
to get this routine perfect.

Amanda?

And five, six, seven, eight!

Hold one, two, three, four.

Amanda?

Why don'’t you sit this
one out?

Ally can fill in.

No, I'’m fine.

I... Let'’s go again...

Oh, I'’m sorry.

[Retching]

[Knock on door]

[Knocking]

[Toilet flush]

[Knocking]

Come on, I have
to go to the bathroom!

Amanda?

What'’s going on in there?

She'’s been in there forever.

[Knocking]

Honey, unlock the door.

I'’ve been throwing up
all night.

I'’m sick.

Aww. Sweetie,

it'’s probably the flu.

It'’s been going around.

Robbie, why don'’t you just
use our bathroom?

Ok.

Oh, baby.

You'’re burning up.
You know what?

I'’m going to call
the school.

No, no, no.

I can'’t miss practice.

Oooh, she'’s alive.

You had me worried.

Don'’t get too close,
I might have the flu.

I was sick all night.

No, it'’s not the flu.
We'’re all feeling it.

Did you get a refill?What?

You think it'’s the meds?

It'’s called withdrawal,
my friend.

No, but, seriously,
I'’m really, really sick.

Like, throwing up sick.

Yeah. Sweating, cramps.
We all have it.

We had some hydro from
Nate'’s aunt,

but we'’re out.

I... I can'’t dance feeling
like this.

Everyone'’s counting on me.

I texted our connect
earlier,

we'’ll see if he comes through.

Oh, he says he'’s here.

Twenty-five.

How many you want?

Twenty-five each?

We'’ve got enough for four.

Got some cash?

All right.
Have fun.

Thanks, man.

See you, man.

So are we going to our house,
or what?

No, I have to go to practice.

I'’ve been really off lately.

But I'’ll stop by later.

I'’m just gonna take half.

[Dance music]

[Dance music]

Good, guys. Break.

Looks like you'’re
feeling better.

Yeah, I guess it must have
been, like,

a 24-hour bug or something.Good.

I was worried about you.

Way to step it up, Amanda.

You'’re really killin'’ it today.

[Dance music continues]

[Music gradually slowing down]

[Movie soundtrack] I'’m just
across the hall here.

One of the boys is...

So how are you feeling?

Uh, good.

Just kinda normal.

Yeah, they seemed stronger
last time, huh?

I guess you built a tolerance.

Hey, hey.Hey, Dad.

You'’re home early.

Oh, yeah, I kicked off after
an afternoon meeting.

Oh, Dad, this is my girlfriend,
Amanda.

Hi, Mr. Taft.

Mark, please.

Pleasure to meet you,
Amanda.

Oh, I got this from Florida
State, is that important--

Wait, what?

I got in!
They'’ve got this great
film program.

And a great business program,
which is what we discussed.

Right?

Right.Hell yeah, dude!

Sunshine, Miami!

Give me some!

I'’m gonna come visit.
It'’s gonna be so legit.

You know, you don'’t have
to let him pressure you.

I know.

Film is what you love to do.

I know.

And you should do it.

That'’s your passion.

Hey.

Where'’d you go?

I'’m here.

[Soft, romantic music]

[Soft, romantic music]

[Soft, romantic music]

[Soft, romantic music]

Are you sure you want
to do this?

Yeah, I'’m sure.

[Dance music]

Whoo! All right, which one
of you idiots thinks

you can outdrink me? Ahh!

Hey, um...

I'’m gonna go grab us
some drinks, ok?

Ok.

I'’ll catch up with you.

[Dance music]

Hey! I didn'’t
know you were coming!

Wanna dance?

Um, yeah, maybe later.

Have you seen Carson?

No.

Did you hear Bridget
got into Florida?

Florida State?

Yeah. Are you ok?

Uh, yeah.

I'’ll catch up with you later,
ok?

What'’s up, Amanda?

You guys in here?

Guys?

Whoa.

What are you guys doing?

We'’re smoking it.

[Laughs]

It looks ghetto,
but Rick said you use less.

Come try.

You gotta stretch that skrilla,

'’cause this stuff
is crazy expensive.

Ok, give me some.

Hot, hot, hot!

So where'’s Carson?

Hooking up with Bridget.

Are you serious?

Sorry, I just got your text.

Wait, whoa.
We'’re smoking it?

All right.

What'’s wrong with you guys?

What?

She saw you, man.

Amanda?

We got here as fast
as we could.

Are you ok?

[In tandem] I totally opened
the car door...

Can we have some
privacy?

Yeah.

I was at a party, and
I had a couple of beers,

but I didn'’t think anything
of it

because everyone
was drinking,

and, I don'’t know,
I guess it got the best of me,

so I got really
light-headed

and I slipped in the bathroom.

Mr. and Mrs. Walker?

Amanda will have some bruising
and a pretty bad headache.

I'’m sending her a few
acetaminophen with codeine

for the pain, and then she'’s
good to go.

Thanks.

Thank you!

We'’re just glad
you told us the truth.

I'’m really sorry.

It'’s ok, honey.

[Music box music]

[Laughing]

[Phone vibrates]

Who is that?

Carson.

Mm-mmm.

Hit me again.

♪

♪ And many more...

[laughter]

Honey, will you blow
out the candles

before they melt
all over the cake?

Ah, if she doesn'’t get
the perfect Facebook

then it never happened.

Facebook'’s for old people,
Dad.

Yeah, yeah.

Yay!

Well, we know you said you
wanted cash for your birthday

to go shopping, but...

What?

You'’re not giving me cash?

You said you were giving
me cash.

We thought, "How is she gonna
get to the mall?"[Gasps]

Don'’t get too excited, it'’s
just your mom'’s old Volvo.

[Laughs]

She'’s getting the car?I'’m getting the car.

Yes, under one condition:
that you drive Robbie to school.

Of course I will drive Robbie
to school.

[Doorbell rings]

Oh, um... you
should probably get that.

I think it'’s for you.

You guys are sketchy.

Happy birthday.

[On iPad] We have to
get you in there.

Whee!

[In video] Actually,
owls pick up cats

and they eat them.

Eat it!

I really messed up.

Can you please forgive me?

Honestly, Carson.

Why should I?

I mean... this is nice
and everything,

but is this supposed
to fix things?

When I first applied to schools,
I applied with Bridget.

And we had this plan
that if we got accepted

in the same school
that we'’d stay together.

And when that happened,
I don'’t know.

I got scared.

Scared of what?

It'’s like... I'’ve got
this big hole in my life

where my mom'’s supposed
to be.

And I keep filling it
with the wrong things.

And I can hide that
from everyone else,

but I can'’t hide it from you.

You really see me.

And that'’s... that'’s scary.

I messed up, I know.

And I'’m sorry.
I'’m so, so sorry.

What are you doing, dingus?

Oh.

I hear kids at Yale take
this stuff to study.

Why do you think
I'’m such a genius?

So what'’s it like?

I don'’t know.

I'’ve been on it forever.

Let'’s motor.

You'’re my new ride.

Yeah, you wish
you could drive.

Hey, are you sick?

No, why?

You keep sniffling.

Maybe it'’s just allergies.

You sound
sorta disappointed.

You think I want you
to be sick?

I think you'’re really eager
to fill in the gaps.

I'’m not.

I'’m part of the team, and
that'’s what teammates do.

I know, I-I'’m sorry.

I'’m really tired.

Uh...

Amanda.

You got back together
with him?

I thought you liked Carson.

I did, until he screwed
you over.

It'’s all good.

Look, I have to run.

I'’ll see you later.

Yo.
Hey.

What'’s up?

Uh, we only got, like,
forty bucks.

That'’s cool.

I got some new stuff
that'’s cheaper.

What is it?

It'’s like old school oxy
from Mexico.

They grind it up
so you snort it.

My connect gets it on
the cheap

so it'’s like nine bucks a bag.

Everyone'’s switching
over to it.

All right, yeah. Cool.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Thanks.

Have fun.

You want it?
You want it?

[Laughs]

Hurry up.

These baggies are dope.

That was really strong.

Isn'’t it?

Yeah, I got a crazy rush.

[Soft music]

Hey.

Where'’d you go?

No, that'’s my line.

[Soft music]

[Soft music]

[Screeching tires]

Amanda, where have you been?!

I'’ve been texting you!

Uh, I was just watching
a movie.

My ringer must be off.

Go sit in the living room.

Why? What'’s going on?

We need to talk.

Ok.

Uh, your father and I have tried
to be pretty lenient.

But we'’ve always been very
clear on zero tolerance

when it comes to illegal drugs.

Period.

This is unacceptable.

What do you have to say?

Want a hit?

That is not funny.

Marijuana is an illegal drug,
and you'’re thirteen!

You'’re still a child.

[Echoing] I'’m not a child.

[Echoing] Yes, you are.

[Voices fade out]

Amanda is in charge.

She was drinking at a party.

How is that any different?

[Echoing] Because she took
responsibility for herself.

Can you take responsibility
for being a bitch?

Hey, watch it.

Whoo!

Now we can say we'’ve been
to Paris!

Hey, guys.

We'’ve been doing heroin.

That'’s funny.

What?

Hold on. Rick
and his friends said that--

Text Rick and ask
him straight up,

what has he given us?

Text him.

Ok.

Oh, he says he thought
we already knew.

[Laughs]

How is that funny?

I can'’t believe this.

What are you doing?

Getting rid of it.

Amanda!
What are you doing?

Throwing this stuff away.

No, Amanda, why? No!

Why?

It'’s heroin.

Did you not hear him?

So?

It'’s not some kind of
prescription drug!

Ok, so we don'’t get
it again!

We do it, we finish it this
one last time

and then we don'’t do it again.

It'’s addictive!

Stop it!

Give it to me! No!

She needs to give it to me!

Sit down!

This is completely mental,
you get that, right?

I know that, but
we didn'’t know!

Ok?
Stop freaking out about it!

We'’re going to be fine!

Stop freaking out?

How can you even say that?

This is heroin!

I know what it is, it'’s already
in our system!

We can'’t ever do this again.

I know.

It--it'’s just gonna be hard.

It'’s in our face
all the time.

I need you
to promise me.

Promise me we'’re never going
to do this again.

I promise.

So, big audition'’s
coming up.

Oh, you must be so excited.

You'’ve been working
on this for months.

Of course I'’m excited.

I just don'’t want to have
to talk about it all the time

because it'’s exhausting.

Being an overachiever
does seem hard.

That'’s not a problem for me.

Hey, don'’t sell
yourself short.

I have to go
to the bathroom.

Amanda.

I know what'’s going on.

Eating disorders are
very serious.

I was standing outside,

and I heard you throwing up.

God, it'’s just been so hard
lately, and...

and I'’m so stressed with
school and the dance team and--

and I don'’t know how
to feel or... or--

Enough with the excuses.

I'’m taking you to
the doctor tomorrow.

My parents are
always worried,

which of course stresses me out.

It'’s just a lot of pressure.

It seems to me like Amanda'’s
overwhelmed.

I'’d like to give her something

to help her cope
with her anxiety,

if that'’s ok with you,
Amanda.

Uh, it'’s not going to affect
my dancing, will it?

No, it shouldn'’t.

[Dance music]

Um... uh, I'’m sorry.

Can we... I missed that.

Can we go back and--

Amanda?

Come here.

Sorry, coach.

I'’m just having, you know,
one of those off days.

We have decided that we'’re going
to teach your solo

to an alternate.

What?

The audition is only
two weeks away.

You'’re not remembering
your steps.

No.

I know the choreography,
I swear.

I just... I just need
a chance--

This is just an insurance
policy.

For everyone.

The team'’s been working
on this for months.

Well, so have I.

I'’ve been working on it
for months, too.

I just... you know, I--

We'’ve already talked
to Ally about it.

She knows the footwork.

What...

Ok.

[Sobbing]

Amanda, wait!

Wait!

They came to me!
What was I supposed to say?

Are you kidding me?!

Anything other than "yes"!

You'’re supposed to be
my friend!

You'’re supposed to be
on my side!

That'’s not fair.
It'’s about the team.

Right, well, I'’m still
ON the team.

Ok?

So I wouldn'’t get too excited.

Hey.

Hey, what'’s wrong with you?

What are you guys doing?

Nothing. What happened?

They'’re trying to replace me.

I... I don'’t know what to do!

I--I can'’t think,
I can'’t dance,

I--I feel like I can'’t
do anything anymore.

Carson!

You promised me!

What do you want me to do?
I can'’t function!

I can'’t take this!

I'’m sorry.

No, you'’re right.
You'’re right.

I mean, maybe cold turkey
was a bad idea.

That'’s--that'’s why we'’re
all getting sick.

That'’s why I can'’t dance.

Maybe we should
just taper off.

Yeah.

I can do that after
the performance.

Hey!

Do you... do you guys have
any more?

Um... we just did the last bit.

Do you have any money?

No.

I have these, though.

Yo, Rick.

Yo.

Come in.

[Rap music in background]

Yo, what'’s up?

Uh, are your parents home?

Nah, they never come
up here. It'’s chill.

Sweet.

Not my favorite bennies,
but...

I'’ll give you half a gram
for '’em.

No way. You can sell those
for 15 a pill.

Two grams.

I'’ll give you a buck
twenty-five, but that'’s it.

At least they'’re good
for something.

Make yourselves at home.

I'’ll be right back.

I'’m gonna go to the bathroom.

Riley T.

You looking for something?

Maybe.

Oh.

Oh.

Wanna party?

Yeah, we can party.

Get this off.

Ugh.

Wait, where'’s Riley?

Yo, Ri?

Riley, where you at?

Riley?

Whoa, are you shooting up?

Yo!

What'’d you do to her?

Easy!

She just wanted to get high.

She'’s my girl!

I know! I know!

I'’m not trying to play you
like that!

Are you ok?

It'’s so good.

[Laughs]

Besides, this ain'’t
her first rodeo.

Carson.

What, so you'’ve been
sticking needles

in her this whole time?!

Look, I don'’t know who she'’s
been hanging around with.

Besides, if you snort it,
it'’s just a waste.

You use less to get
the same high.

Well, like how much less?

Like half.

I'’m gonna do it.

What?

You sure?

Just once, bro.

I mean, just to see
what it'’s all about.

I won'’t do it unless
you do it.

Well, I mean, it takes less,
right?

I'’ve spent everything I had.

Maybe this will get me
through my audition.

Yeah.

[Slow, dreamy music]

[Slow, dreamy music]

I love you.

I love you, too.

[Slow, dreamy music]

[Slow, dreamy music]

[Echoing voices]

[Music continues]

[Alarm goes off]

Hello!

Hey, come on!

Did you not hear that?

It'’s been going off forever.
Get up.

Come on, you'’re my ride.

Why can'’t mom take you?

She left an hour ago.

It'’s almost eight.
Come on.

Come on.

[Groans]

Ok, ok, ok.

Give me five minutes.

[Sighs]

[music box music]

Hey.

Oh.

What'’s up with you, Amanda?

I just need a coffee,
that'’s all.

No, something'’s wrong.

You can talk to me, ok?

I'’m not Mom or Dad.

I'’m fine. Really.

I'’m just... tired.

♪

Amanda?

Hello?

Oh, we started?

Um...

Yeah, I don'’t think so,
Amanda.

Why don'’t you just
sit this one out?

Yes!

Amanda, let'’s talk.

I think you have a problem.

You need help.

I'’m going to recommend

that you speak to
the school counsellor.

Look, I--I know I'’ve been
really sick off and on,

but I'’m so exci--I'’m so ready
to dance this weekend.

You'’re not gonna dance
this weekend.

What?!

You can'’t do this to me!

This really isn'’t like you!

The team would!

Doesn'’t the team get
to vote on this?

They already have.

Somebody went through
my stuff!

All my cash is gone.

So is mine.

Did they get you?

Nope.

Well, do you know
who would do this?

Are you accusing me?

Maybe it'’s just karma.

Nobody did anything to you!

Except for stab me in the back!

But I guess stealing
an opportunity from someone

is better than not
having one at all, isn'’t it?

[Sobbing]

They took my part away.

Are you kidding me?!

[Crying]

They'’ll regret it.

You'’re an amazing dancer.

I just feel like it was
all for nothing now.

Come on, let'’s go.

Wait, wait, wait.

Gotta meet up
with Rick first.

Riley, where did
you get that?

Riley?
Those are my friends!

No, they'’re not!

And I only got, like,
fifty bucks.

But, yeah, that'’s good enough
for tonight.

Look, they took something
from you,

so I took something from them.

Amanda?

What are you doing?

Have you been drinking?

No.

Coach Yost called,

she said you were passing out
during practice.

I was having a hard time
staying awake

because I was up all night.

Why were you up all night?

I was anxious

because they wanted to give
my part to Alexis.

Oh, and we need to call Dr. Shaw
and have my meds readjusted.

Hello! I still have
not been able to eat,

and drowsiness is a side effect!

Honey, I...

I know how much
the audition meant to you.

But the bottom line is your
health is more important.

We'’ll call Dr. Shaw
in the morning.

We'’ll talk about it.

God! I'’m so sick of talking
about it!

[Muffled screams]

[Heavy breathing]

I thought I was good at lying
to Mom.

You'’re becoming a master.

I really just want to be
left alone right now, Robbie.

No.

Not until you tell me
what'’s up.

Did you hear me?!

I want to be left alone
right now!

Fine.

Morning!

Morning.

You get any breakfast?

Uh, I'’m not hungry.

You gotta put some meat
on those bones.

You'’re disappearing on me.

Dean.

What?

Oh, sorry.

Let'’s go.

Are you sure you didn'’t
short me?

What?

I don'’t feel like I got
the full hit.

No, you did most of it.

Give me your bag.

Give me your bag!

Ri, chill out!
Chill out!

I wouldn'’t lie to you.

[Blender noise]

[Blender noise]

Amanda.

Amanda.

Got drinks.

Yo.

Here you go, brosef.

Thanks, man.

Guess what time it is?

It'’s upload o'’clock.

Oh, hell yeah!

Mmmm, frosty!

Pass it to Nate.

Pass it to Riley.

Aaargh!

Let'’s check it out.

[Laughs] That'’s sick.

Nice. Dude, you have to upload
that today.

Let'’s go.

Let'’s go.

Yo, Nate.

Yo, show me the empty.

It'’ll be like we finally
ran out.

All right.

Boo, all gone.

[Laughs]

Bro.

She could use
another mocha.

Amanda.

Amanda!

Hey!

Hey, wake up!

Hey, wake up! Amanda!

Amanda!

Wake up, Amanda!
Are you ok?

Hey!

Looked like you were
having a seizure or something.

I'’m fine.

Sometimes my muscles,
they...

Riley?

Hey, Riley! Riley!

Oh, my god.

Dude, she'’s not breathing!

Ri!

Riley! Come on, wake up!

Wake up, Riley!

Hey! Hey!

Oh my god, she'’s really
not breathing!

She'’s not breathing, man!

Call an ambulance!

What if we get busted, man?

Are you serious?!

Um... go to the hospital.

What hospital?!

Uh, Robertson Memorial,
it'’s the closest!

What if it doesn'’t get here
on time?

Just keep waking her up.Go!

Drive, Carson! Go! Go!

Come on, guys!
We have to hurry!

You'’ve gotta drive faster,
man!

I'’m trying, man!

Her mouth is foaming!

Her lips are turning blue!

Faster, dude! You gotta--

I'’m trying!

Just run the light, man!

Wake up!

[Horn honking]

Come on, WAKE UP!

Hey, stay with me!
I'’m here!

Please, Riley...

She'’s convulsing.

What have we done to her?!

Come on!

We'’re almost there.

[Siren]

We need some help out here!
Come on!

Amanda!

Are you ok?

Baby.

How'’s Riley?

They won'’t tell us
how she is.

Sweetheart...

No.

Why didn'’t you notice,
man?!

What about you?!

Stop it! Stop it!

Amanda, our family needs
to be alone right now.

[Heart-wrenching music]

[Heart-wrenching music]

[Heart-wrenching music]

[Sobbing]

[Sobbing]

[Sobbing]

We understand that Riley
suffered a heart attack.

That she passed quickly,
and without pain.

There'’s a message wall
for Riley in the south quad,

and we encourage you
all to visit.

Hey, Nate.

Hey.

Yo.

Have you heard from Carson?

I don'’t know where he is,
and...

No, dawg.

Nate, are you high?

What?

Look, I just, um...

I can'’t think about it.

Her.

I just, um...

I gotta go.

Nate!

[Phone rings]

Mark, hi.

No, we haven'’t seen him.

Listen, I know
there are no words,

but it'’s still such a shock.

I mean, a heart attack?

So what was it then?

I don'’t understand.

Oh, sure.

Ok.

That was Mark.

He hasn'’t seen Carson.

Have you spoken to him?

I'’ve been texting him,

but he hasn'’t replied
to any of my texts.

Riley, um... died of
an overdose.

It was heroin.

What?

No, that--that'’s not possible.

She was my best friend.
I would know.

Are you saying you don'’t
know anything about this?

Be honest.Are you kidding me?

Haven'’t I been through
enough already?

She'’s lying.

I'’m sorry, Amanda.

Amanda!

Amanda!

[Phone vibrates]

Be cool.

My connect is here.

Shame about your friend.

She was fun.

Are you fun, Amanda?

Um, I just need a gram,
and I'’ll pay you back.

Do I look like a loan officer
to you?

Come on, man.
Please. I'’ll pay you back.

I... I'’m quitting, too.

I just need to do it slower,
you know?

But I'’m quitting.

I'’ll tell you what.

I'’ll hook you up.

I just need you to do something
for me.

What... what'’s he doing?

Just taking a picture.

Turn around for me.

Hey, Riley was down.

What'’s going on?

Carson!

Oh, my God.

You got any stuff?

What?

No... is that all you have
to say to me?

I'’m can set
your little girl up.

I just need her to
go see my friend.

Hey, you can do that,
can'’t you?

Just come back and
we'’ll be together.

Carson, do you know
what he wants me to do?

Come on, Amanda!
We need this, it'’s ok!

Get off me!
You'’re not even you right now.

Bitch!

[Screaming]

Let go of me!

Don'’t just sit there!

[Voices echoing]

Amanda!

Where have you been?

We'’ve been so scared.

Your dad is out looking for you.

Whatever it is, you can tell us.

Please...

I need help.

I...

I can'’t keep doing this.

I can'’t...

I'’m so sorry.

[Sobbing]
I'’m so sorry.

It'’s okay.

Hey!

Hi!

How'’s it going?

Uh, it'’s good, um...
I'’ve been clean almost a month.

That'’s great!

Yeah, I think the really tough
part is probably gonna be

when I go back to school.

Yeah. Yeah.

So has anyone heard
from Carson?

I think his dad moved them
to Florida.

That'’s... that'’s good,
I guess.

And, uh... and Nate?

He went off the grid.

I heard he'’s dealing,
but I don'’t know.

He'’s a really good guy,
Ally.

It'’s--it'’s just...

it'’s really hard to stop.

Well, the team says hi.

We got our second call-back.

Wow. That'’s great.

And, um... you'’re still doing
my part?

Yeah, but I added
some new steps.

The routine changed.

Yeah, I... I think
everything'’s changed.

I'’m not really sure what
to say.

It'’s ok.

It really means a lot to me
that you'’re here.

I know I, uh...

I said some stuff
and did some stuff.

I'’m... well, I'’m really sorry.

I'’m glad you'’re doing
what you need to do.

Well, before I bounce,
we gotta take a selfie!

Come on.
