I, honestly, I was thinking about it.

I really never ever thought
that this day would actually come.

-[Lauren] Mm-hmm.
-Like, when we're done with high school.

-The year went by so quickly.
-It really, really did.

Hey! [laughs] There's you!

The most irresistible one
in the whole wide world.

Don't you look pretty?

Okay.

"Stephen Colletti,
life of the party, and Sahar."

-Oh, that's cute.
-[Lauren] Look at Trey.

[Lo] Trey, Trey!



Yeah, I went
into the activities office today,

and we're talking about line of march.
I was like, oh, I wanna do that,

because I wanted to put
all of our friends together.

-Yeah, you did, right?
-Yeah.

[chuckles] That's rad. I'm so excited.

[squeals]

I'm just so excited to graduate.

[Ellen] Good morning, Lo.
It's your last day.

So where are you walking down?
Which aisle are you walking down?

-Here's the stage.
-Here's the stage. Okay.

I'm in row "A," and so I go up this way,

-and so I come down this first row.
-Okay, good.

I'm in the one closest to the ocean.

Okay, and you are--
Oh, you're in the first row?

Yeah, because Lauren did
the graduation seating,

so she put all of our friends
in the first two rows.

-Okay, which side are you on?
-[Lo] I have no idea.

Okay, it doesn't matter.
Okay, so if we sit around here,

we'll be able to get both of you guys.

-[Lo] Yeah.
-Okay, that's good.

-Bye, sweetie.
-Bye.

-Love you.
-Call me.

[uplifting music playing]

So wait, what is the senior video for?

Um. It's gonna be like,
a DVD for everyone in the class,

um, senior class, that just documents
like all the dances we've had, and…

[Morgan] This'll be interesting.

-[Claire] Sit here.
-[Morgan] Okay, cool, oh, pretty.

[Claire] Let's do some simple questions.

All right, where do you hope
to see yourself in ten years?

Married in a beautiful house
in Emerald Bay… [chuckles]

…with, um, who knows,
maybe a kid, but I hope to have like

a boutique at like
a cute little store I'd open, and…

[Claire] So do you plan
on coming back to Laguna?

Oh, yeah, I love Laguna.

I definitely wanna
live here when I'm older.

So where should I put a bag
so that you'll take it with you to where…

Put it here by my purse.

And then, am I allowed
to bring a bag to grad night?

[Ellen] A small bag…

-and your cell phone.
-[Lo] How small is small?

-Just a little-- Just something small.
-I don't even own a bag this small.

-Bring your little silver bag.
-Can I-- Like a clutch?

Oh, my little silver bag! Oh, cute!

[Ellen] Your little silver…
yes, so cute.

Really, it's not a fashion show tonight.

It's always a fashion show, Mom.
[chuckles] Always.

[Claire] Um. Are there any friends
you're especially gonna

try to keep in touch with?

Probably just my closest friends,
like I'll stay close with Lo, of course,

'cause she's like my best friend.

I'll probably stay close
with Stephen and Dieter, too,

just 'cause I'm going to college
right next to Stephen,

and Dieter's always been
such a good friend.

[Claire] Do you have
any hopes for our generation?

Um…

I don't know. I think
Trey'll take care of us.

-[chuckles]
-[Claire laughs]

[upbeat song playing]

[laughing]

[song fades]

I seriously cannot wait to see it happen.
I cannot wait to go to school.

And I can't wait
until I come back and visit

next year to see how, like,
all you guys are doing and all that.

Like, just see how everyone's changed.

Polster's finally gonna come out.
Like I can't wait to see that, dude.

[all laugh]

Dude, when we go to college,
the girls are gonna be so much different.

-It's gonna be insane.
-They're gonna be extremely slutty,

-especially where I'm going.
-[Stephen] Not slutty, just experienced.

Just, experienced
is how I like to put it, dude.

And they're so much easier to…
[clicks fingers] …let's go.

-It's easier to get nasty.
-[Stephen chuckles]

-Just wear a jimmy, maybe even two.
-[all laugh]

[Polster] Are you guys
gonna stay together?

-You're not gonna stay together, are you?
-Kristin… ugh.

[Stephen] Uh. No.

Yeah, it'll be on hold,
but like we'll still talk

like we're really good friends,

but like it's not going to be talking
every day, like, "What'd you do today?"

Like, trying to make sure we know exactly

what's going on
between the two of us every day,

-'cause that's stupid, you're…
-You're too far away.

College happens once, you know.
You gotta go big and like…

-What's going on with you, dude?
-Me?

[Stephen] What is happening
with your chick?

-You guys'll still be together?
-Dude, 3,000 miles ain't gonna do [bleep].

[Stephen] Oh, well you're definitely
gonna be boning.

300 miles is breaking us up.

Of course 3,000 miles
is gonna break you guys up.

-[Trey] Yeah.
-Dude, I don't know, man.

I think 40 minutes would
probably break me up. [chuckles]

-[chuckles]
-Look at Stephen.

So you and Stephen
aren't gonna stay together?

Mm-mm. I guess we'll just kinda
be together when he comes home.

Yeah.

I'm-- I don't want
a boyfriend in college, either.

I'm excited for next year
to be single and just like hang out

with our grade. [chuckles]

If he did hook up with Lauren,

would you be more pissed
rather than if he were to just hook up

-with some random girl?
-[Kristin] Random model girl?

Well, yeah. Yeah, obviously.

Lauren would think
she was, like, really cool, but…

-[Jessica] Yeah.
-She'd be like… [laughs]

And this summer
will be fun with them here. We never…

-Oh, yeah.
-We don't know what's gonna happen.

But like the summer,
might as well have fun with them.

-Yep.
-While they're here.

Worst memory? Um…

[exhales] The only one
that kills is just…

probably bad moments
with girlfriends, like…

[Claire chuckles] Yeah.

I guess, um… [laughs]

[uplifting song playing]

-[Lo's Dad] Lo?
-Yeah.

[Lo's Dad] Can you come out and give me
a hand with some groceries, please?

Yeah.

[giggles]

-Daddy? [laughs]
-[Lo's Dad chuckles] Yes?

-[Lo] Is that mine?
-[Lo's Dad] If you're the graduate, it is.

-[Lo] Really? [laughs, cheers]
-Yeah!

-Thank you, Daddy!
-Try it out.

Thank you so much!

-I graduated, too.
-Oh, it's so pretty!

-It's so pretty!
-We'll get you a skateboard, bud.

-I already got one!
-There's even a bow on it!

This is like every child's dream!

-I wrapped it myself, sweetie.
-[laughs]

Oh, my goodness.

-New car smell!
-[Lo's Dad] Try the radio, sweetie.

-Serious?

I wanted to know
if I could do an interview with you.

-[Trey] Let's do it.
-All right. You mind doing it right now?

-[Trey] Sure.
-Okay.

All right, Trey, so how do you feel
about Laguna being called the bubble?

I think you gotta get out,
but you can still love it.

It's definitely the strongest feeling
of safety that I've ever felt in my life.

What's your hope for our generation?

What the hell's better

[gasps] Aw. It's really pretty!

[Reverend] I'm telling you,
you've never had one like this.

[Mrs. Schuller]
I haven't had one like that.

slip those on here?

Look at this.

30 years later. This is my 1974…

we don't even have any
colored pictures in ours.

-Really?
-And this--

but everything looks the same, see?

Everybody's writing, same thing.

It's like, 30 years later.

This…

L.G.? Your friends called you L.G.?

[Lorilee] They called me L.G., yeah.

[Lauren Colletti]
That's my mom. [chuckles]

[Lauren] Hottie! Bruce, you did good.

[all laugh]

-[Lauren] Bruce!
-[Stephen] You look so weird.

-[Lauren] Lookin' good.
-[all chuckle]

So you and me and Lauren.

-I'm not coming.
-You don't need one.

-You're not going?
-That's what I'm saying.

No, she's going
to reserve a seat, though.

-You're not going?
-Mm-mm.

-Why not?
-I have to work.

-I'm sorry.
-Are you serious?

-I feel really bad.
-You kook.

I know, I'm really sorry.

But I'm going to reserve
all the seats for you,

-so everyone can see you.
-Why are you not going?

-Screw you.
-Aw.

Stephen, I'm really sorry--
That's why I'm here.

I wanted to say congratulations.

[sighs]

[phone ringing]

-Hey, Stephen.
-L.C.

What are you doing?

I'm getting ready to do this.
What are you doing?

I'm getting ready.

[Stephen] Are you
gonna hang out with me tonight?

Duh. [chuckles]

-[Stephen] Come on, please?
-Shut up.

[chuckles] All right.
Well, I'll see you later, bud.

-I'll see you at the school.
-All right, bye.

Look at this.

That is so cool. You need a little jewel.

[both laugh]

-It's horrible.
-No, it's not!

-Yeah.
-It mats my hair.

I've got hat hair. I've got grad hat hair.

It's a big deal to me,
you leaving high school.

It's like you're my, you know,
my second kid going off to the big world,

-and then coming home regularly.
-Mommy. [chuckles]

[Ellen] I'm a little sad, though.

It'll be fine.

You just went
to kindergarten a little while ago.

-I know.
-It's just all too much.

-Are you stressed out? [chuckles]
-I don't think so.

This past year,
I tried out for the musical,

and I got the lead,
so that was a big part

of not only this year, but

it's something that I'll remember
as doing in high school forever, so…

Mom, I'm ready for pictures.

[Morgan S]
I can't friggin' believe we're seniors.

I can't believe next
year this is gonna be us.

I know, one year.

[Kristin] You know what's weird?

Like with Stephen, I, like,
don't wanna get close to him right now

'cause he's just gonna leave
in two months and it's like--

And I tried telling him that,
and he's like,

"Kristin, just don't think
about it," like…

But it's so hard, you know?

[Morgan S] It's so hard
not to think about it.

I don't wanna get all attached again.

Just relax, relax.

I know, I know. I just
don't wanna be late.

I'm gonna miss the little bus thing.

-Okay, bye, sweetie.
-Bye, Mommy. I'll see you there.

Bye, Daddy, I'll see you in a little bit.

-I love you. I'm proud of you.
-I love you, too. Thank you.

-We'll see you, uh…
-[Lauren] After.

-[Jim] We'll see you after, okay?
-[Lauren] Yeah.

[Lauren's Mom] Can we cheer really loud
for you when they call your name?

-Oh, I'm sure Kiki will.
-[Lauren's Mom cheers]

-Want us to hoot?
-[Lauren] Oh, boy, okay. Bye.

[Jim] All right, honey, see you later.

-There she goes.
-There she goes!

-One down.
-Oh, I'm gonna cry, bye.

[both laughing]

[emotional music concludes]

[indistinct chatter]

[cheering]

[girls screaming]

[student 1] Oh,
we gotta get in line, guys.

My favorite thing from senior year…

Probably being a senior
in general, and also,

graduation is just the best thing
a senior goes through

'cause you don't ever
have to go back. [chuckles]

That's my best memory,
graduation, right now.

I would now like to introduce
our senior speaker, Jonathan Bernard.

-[student 2] Yeah, Bernie! [cheers]
-[crowd cheers]

[student 2] Dieter, sit down!

As graduates of Laguna Beach,
we truly graduate from a community,

a place where everyone knows
each other, or at least who everyone is.

Laguna Beach is so visually beautiful,
I feel I live inside a postcard.

I know I took the drive
to school every morning for granted,

going down Park Street
with Catalina in the distance,

and the Pacific Ocean
crashing on the main beach.

Life just doesn't get
much better than this.

This place is so special,
most of us don't want to leave,

even though we know we have to.

Laguna Beach has been our cocoon.

Here, our loving parents
and teachers make sure

we are pampered, protected, provided for,

and promoted to the next level in life.

Today, we leave that cocoon

and we head out
on our own into the real world.

Well, it's over now,

and I'm sure I'm not the first to say
that I'll miss Laguna Beach High School.

Though part of me has been dying
to finish school and move on,

part of me wants to stay here forever.

I think some of you may feel the same.

Congratulations, my fellow graduates.
It's time to shed our cocoon.

[cheering, applauding]

[emcee] It is an honor and a privilege

to declare the graduates tonight
of Laguna Beach High School.

Please move your tassels
from right to left.

Ladies and gentlemen, please join me

in congratulating
the graduating class of 2004

of Laguna Beach High School.

[cheering]

I'm so excited to go to school.

I'm sad to leave this, though.

Boys, boys, boys.

-Boys… Oh, yeah.
-So many new boys.

[Lauren] I mean,
you're gonna meet a lot of guys.

I'm gonna--
I think it's gonna be harder for me

to meet guys
in a fashion major. [chuckles]

Yeah, perhaps.

Well, you'll probably find
some pretty boys in Santa Barbara.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna be on the lookout
for hot water polo players.

Oh, nice.

I might go get something to drink.

Yeah, I'll go with you. I'm really hot.
