not gonna make you popular.

Good to see you, honey.

tell me where we're going.

- What are we doing? Horseback riding?
- Mm-mm.

- A picnic?
- Nope.

Since it's our last official date,
I thought we could check out one of my favorite places.

- Well, what's in the box?
- You'll find out.

- Okay.
- Trust me! It'll be fun.

- Are these real bullet holes right here?
- Yep!

[ Imitating Plane Engine ]

The Navy found this one last
year off the coast of Japan.

They did a
corrosion study on it.

After 40 years at the
bottom of the ocean...

this is all that rusted.

Our grandparents sure knew
how to make things that last.

How do you know
all this stuff?

Well, the pilot
who ditched it in 1944?

He came back a few weeks ago
to take a look at this.

He stood here and looked
at this thing the whole day.

[ Cindy ] God. There are
mountains up there.

And valleys,
canyons and plains.

What's that thing, um,
up there that looks like a star sapphire?

- What's that?
- Tycho.

An asteroid crashed there
and broke the moon.

- Broke the moon?
- Yeah.

It made a crack in the moon a hundred
times the size of the Grand Canyon.

the Sea of Tranquility.

Us ending our
fake relationship.

What a deal, huh?

$1,000 to go out with him
for a month. This guy.

Oh, God. He bought me.

And he bought all of you.

He was sick and tired
of being a nobody.

Yeah, and he said that all of you
guys would worship him if we went out.

And I didn't believe that.
I was, like, no way!

And he was right!
No, leave me alone.

He was right. Our little plan
worked, didn't it, Ronald?

I'm sorry about having

But I have to talk to you.

I realize what
a jerk I became.

All I ever did
was think about you,

dream about being

And then I got
that stupid idea.

And I let it turn me
into something I'm not.

I know she's in the country,
Mrs. Mancini. I saw her today.

Well, my daughter
doesn't know anyone named...

Ronald, is that you?

Why did you say
your name was Donald?

Uh... I guess I made
a mistake. Bye-bye.

[ Exhales ]

Mom, what'd he say?

First, he's a geek.

And then you start going out with him.
And then he's a geek again.

Honey, I don't know

a geek is Ronald Miller.

once before, remember?

You fell out of our tree house.

- and we carried you 12 blocks to the hospital.

Oh, man, that's stupid.
I know, 'cause that's where I wanted to be.

to buy my way in.

trying to buy anybody.
