Jess, I wrote the cutest thing
in your yearbook.
Did you read it yet?
-[Jessica] Yeah, you're such a nice girl.
-I know. Don't worry.
-Alex, you still have to sign my yearbook.
-I know.
-You have to sign mine.
-You have to sign mine, too.
I can't believe we're graduating.
-[Jessica] Like, 18 years of, like--
-Twelve years of school.
-Twelve, whatever.
-Talan's not coming to our graduation.
I know. I think that's
really lame. He's not walking.
[exhales] No, he's not going to be part
of the student activities, or anything?
-I don't know, but he's just not walking.
-[Alex H] Really?
-He's just going to get his GED.
-Oh, my God.
Like, okay, random. It's weird.
Why are Stephen and Dieter
going? Because they want to go?
Well, Dieter wants to see you graduate,
and Stephen wants to see me graduate.
They're, like, friends with everybody.
-[chuckles]
-They still like us. [chuckles]

I didn't eat breakfast
this morning, I sort of--
Neither did I. Your friend, Jason?
-So much fun.
-Really?
You-- No, you, seriously--
Did you see the car?
No.
You didn't see-- Oh,
do you know what a hot rod is?
Yeah, I know what a hot rod is.
Literally, like, the part
where you sit is, like, this big.
And there's no doors.
-Why?
-Is there a roof?
-No!
-What did you guys talk about?
-I don't know, stuff.
-[Heidi] Was he really sweet?
Yeah, he's really sweet.
[Jen] So, are you going to hang out
with him again today?
Yeah. I'm going over
to his grandpa's house.
What would you possibly do
at his grandparents' house?
-I don't know!
-[Heidi] Does he have a really nice house?
No, I guess it was, like,
a super nice house.
It's like right on the beach.
That's so cute.
[Heidi] Aw!

Hello!
Stephen… [chuckles]
…I'm in here. I'm in the office.
Hi. [chuckles] You got your hair cut?
-[Stephen] Uh, yeah, I did.
-Looks good.
-How are you?
-Good, how are you?
-Good.
-Thanks to you.
-Here's your ticket.
-Well, thank you.
Mm-hmm.
And then Jessica's giving one to Dieter.
-Oh, really?
-Yeah. So you guys can--
We'll probably go together.
Are you excited to graduate, or what?
Yeah. Now I know what you were
going through last year.
Yeah, what's that supposed
to mean? [chuckles]
-[laughs] No, nothing. I'm just saying.
-No, it was a trip.
Like, after prom and that whole week,
that's when I was, like, "Oh my God."
Because that's, like,
the last big… [clicks tongue]
Yeah, that's what I was thinking,
and, like, too much, you know?
-[Stephen] Yeah.
-But now I'm just excited.
-Well, thanks for my ticket.
-[Kristin] Well, I'm glad you're coming.
-[Stephen] Okay. Well, thank you.
-You're welcome. [chuckles]
-[Stephen clears throat] Bye, bud.
-[Kristnen] Bye-bye.
[horn honking]
I'm coming! You're so rude.
All right! Oh, my God!
-[Dieter] Hey!
-Hi. You're so rude!
You're really graduating?
-[gasps]
-I'm just joking.
I know. It's a sight to be seen.
Thanks for coming.
I told you I would be at your graduation,
no matter much stupid [bleep] you do.
-I'll always be at the graduation.
-How have I done stupid [bleep]?
I'm just saying. I don't know what
you've done. I'm just saying I was, like--
-I haven't done anything.
-That was my one thing,
-I'll always be there for your graduation.
-[Jessica] All right.
Thanks, buddy. Don't run me--
-I'm sorry, go. I'm sorry, go.
-[Jessica] No. Bye.
[soft piano music playing]
-Tay, Casey called me.
-[Taylor] She did?
And invited me-- Well, all of us
over for lunch at her house.
Did you say okay?
Well, what am I supposed
to do, be, like, "Uh, no"?
I thought you guys
were just going to leave it at, like,
"Whatever, Casey,
I'm not gonna be mean to you,
but like, I don't really want
to be friends with you."
Well, see, the thing is,
I don't want to have any beef with anyone.
We can get past this and make amends.
I think that's the word.
Not that I'm going to go out
of my way to hang out with her, but, like,
I'm just, like,
so over dramatic, like, awkwardness.
-It'll be interesting.
-It'll be really interesting.
-She's gonna be, like, "Al!"
-Mm-hmm.
-"Hey, guys."
-"Hi."
"Hey guys, come in over here."
-"Oh, my God, you look so pretty."
-"You're so cute."
-[chuckles]
-[Alex M] Oh, my God.
-We're so mean. Stop. Stop, stop it.
-It's not mean, it's just Casey.

-[Jason] Like, together?
-Yeah.
-Random, yeah. It was really random.
-That's so funny. I don't think, like…
a few months ago if you had told me that,
I would have been, like, "What?"
Yeah.
-Thank you.
-Of course.
[Lauren chuckles]

I need your fashion advice.
Is this too scandalous?
I know it looks like lingerie,
but when the dress is on,
I swear it looks cute.
[laughs] That's so short!
-[phone keypad beeps]

Well, it's just kind of gnarly

-Hey.
-[Jessica] Your dress is hot pink, right?
-[Alex H over phone] Uh-huh.
Jessica, I'm nervous.
-I know I'm gonna cry, so…
-Yeah.
It's, like, I've never been
through anything like this.
So I don't know how I'm supposed
to, like, feel or act, or…
[Jessica over phone] Yeah, exactly.
-…anything.
-[Jessica] Me too. Oh, well.
I don't know, I'm excited, but okay.
Okay, well, call me when you're leaving.
-Okay, bye.
-Bye.

-Thanks.
-You look great! [chuckles]
-[Kristin] Thank you.
[Dennis] You look great, babe.
-[Judith] Big day.
-[Kristin] I know.
-You excited?
-[Kristin] Yeah.
-It's really weird, but yeah.
-Why is it weird?
-It's, like, graduating high school.
-[Dennis chuckles]
-But we've all done it already.
-[laughs]
Dad, you already got me a car.
-A frypan? Thanks, dad.
-A frying pan, babe.
You can start cooking some exciting things
up in your life, you know?
Hey! [laughs]
-Thank you. [chuckles]
-You're welcome.
["Forever" playing]
I love you. Happy graduation.

Thank you. Thanks, Mommy.
-Thanks, Daddy!
-You're welcome.

Yay! Goes with my ring.
Thank you very much.
Wow!
[Kelly] You look scrumptious!
-Uh-uh. Looks like a Tiffany bag.
-I love Tiffany's.
[gasps] It's what I wanted!
-And the necklace!
-[all chuckle]
-[Kristin] Thank you so much! Oh, my God!
-[Shannon] I'm so excited.
[Kristin] I love it.
Oh my God! [laughs] It's so funny!
[Alex H] Isn't that funny?
-This is prom.
-[laughs] Yeah.
I love it. I love it!
-[Craig] Aw!
-[Annette] Aw!
-We're so proud of you.
-Thanks, Dad.
-[Craig] I can't believe it.

♪ Oh, remember ♪
-What's up, buddy?
-Hi, cutie.
[sighs]
You getting ready?
Yeah. I'm getting like
a full wardrobe going.
-What are you going to wear?
-What I have on.
-You swear? [laughs]
-Yeah. [laughs]
Or just, like, in boxers.
What's that do?
I wonder how tight this is,
if you're naked, like,
if it would, like, bulge.
Dude, no, like, socks would be
kind of manly, actually.
Go for it.
Oh, my God, when I walk up
and get my diploma,
I'll just-- And then my boxers will show.
Damn, I like this look. Whoo!
[upbeat rock music playing]
-[Karen S] It's adorable.
-This is my right side, right?
-[Karen S] Are you serious? [laughs]
-And you're graduating?
That's what I thought.
-Yeah, okay.
-[all laugh]
[Karen S] The first one in our family
to graduate from high school!
-We're so proud!
-Shut up!
[all laughing]
This hat is really putting me
kind of in a bad mood.
I don't like it. Not really sexy.
Look at my potato bag that I'm wearing!
[Karen C] Well, that's why
you need to go ultra-sexy
so that it counteracts
the potato bag effect.
My gown's so huge on me.
-[laughs]
-My dress came down to the bottom of it.
-[Alex H] Ew, these are so ugly!
-They're so ugly.
You would think they would make cute ones.
I can't believe I'm wearing
a cap and a gown.
[Casey] Okay, bye!
I'll see you at the ceremony.
-Okay, bye, Daddy.
-Have a great time.
-Bye, Daddy.
-Yeah, you do look pretty.
Thank you. All right. Bye, you guys.
-Bye, honey, see you later.
-See you later.
-Let's go graduate!
-All right.
My goodness. It's starting to happen.
It's starting to happen for sure.
[Alex H] You look good! [laughs]

-[Taylor] No.
You know how Miss Blade made the speech,
and she's, like, "It's the beginning…"
-"It's the end of the beginning."
-Yeah.
For, like, 15 minutes,
Jake was trying to explain to me
what it meant, and I still have no idea.
-"The end of the beginning."
-[chuckles]
I really, honestly,
-I don't-- I don't get it.
-I love that saying. [clears throat] Well…
-"The end…"
-I don't know how to explain it.
-"…of the beginning."
-See, I don't have enough,
like, patience right now.
So the end of one chapter,
and then the beginning of,
like, the rest of our life.
It's not. It's the end of the beginning.

I can't believe it, you guys!
The guy that was, like,
"Next year you won't talk
to 95 percent of the people,
so stand up and look around
at your graduating class,
because this is it."
It's a huge thing, you know? It's, like--
I always think about every day
I'm not going to be coming back
-to my house, and, like…
-Me too!
[Morgan S] …and coming back to, like,
the place that I know.

-[Dennis chuckles]
-But we've all done it already.

Dad, you already got me a car.
-A frypan? Thanks, dad.

You can start cooking some exciting things

Yay! Goes with my ring.
Thank you very much.
Wow!

[gasps] It's what I wanted!
-And the necklace!

You getting ready?
Yeah. I'm getting like
a full wardrobe going.
-What are you going to wear?
-What I have on.
-You swear? [laughs]
-Yeah. [laughs]
Or just, like, in boxers.
What's that do?
I wonder how tight this is,
if you're naked, like,
if it would, like, bulge.
Dude, no, like, socks would be
kind of manly, actually.
Go for it.
Oh, my God, when I walk up
and get my diploma,
I'll just-- And then my boxers will show.
Damn, I like this look. Whoo!
[upbeat rock music playing]
-[Karen S] It's adorable.
-This is my right side, right?
-[Karen S] Are you serious? [laughs]
-And you're graduating?
That's what I thought.
-Yeah, okay.
-[all laugh]
[Karen S] The first one in our family
to graduate from high school!
-We're so proud!
-Shut up!
[all laughing]
This hat is really putting me
kind of in a bad mood.
I don't like it. Not really sexy.
Look at my potato bag that I'm wearing!
[Karen C] Well, that's why
you need to go ultra-sexy
so that it counteracts
the potato bag effect.
My gown's so huge on me.
-[laughs]
-My dress came down to the bottom of it.
-[Alex H] Ew, these are so ugly!
-They're so ugly.
You would think they would make cute ones.
I can't believe I'm wearing
a cap and a gown.
[Casey] Okay, bye!
I'll see you at the ceremony.
-Okay, bye, Daddy.
-Have a great time.
-Bye, Daddy.
-Yeah, you do look pretty.
Thank you. All right. Bye, you guys.
-Bye, honey, see you later.
-See you later.
-Let's go graduate!
-All right.
My goodness. It's starting to happen.
It's starting to happen for sure.
[Alex H] You look good! [laughs]

You know how Miss Blade made the speech,
and she's, like, "It's the beginning…"
-"It's the end of the beginning."
-Yeah.
For, like, 15 minutes,
Jake was trying to explain to me
what it meant, and I still have no idea.
-"The end of the beginning."

I really, honestly,
-I don't-- I don't get it.
-I love that saying. [clears throat] Well…
-"The end…"
-I don't know how to explain it.

-See, I don't have enough,
like, patience right now.
So the end of one chapter,
and then the beginning of,
like, the rest of our life.
It's not. It's the end of the beginning.
