(Dove cooing)

(Lively chatter)

Here you go.

Man: Just call
when you get settled, son.

Mascot:
Grab one. Here you go.

♪

(Car horn honks)

You, uh, need some help here?

No, I got it. Thanks.

Uh, easy.

(Laughs)
Thanks.

Oh, so youre Jamie, huh?

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

-307.
-Yeah.

Bad news is,
theres no elevator.

The good news is,
im youre roommate.

Oh, really? Great.
Which one?

-Im Greg.
-Greg, hey.

Uh, so, what about...
What about Max?

Have you met him yet?

No, not yet.

But maybe well get lucky,
and thatll be him.

Well, if it is,

hes totally buying
the pizza tonight.

(Greg laughs)

Isnt there a back gate,
or something?

Max, let me tell you something.

The first day I showed up here,
I got off a bus...

And you couldnt afford a taxi.

No.

No, I couldnt afford a taxi.

Gordon, pull over.

This is the dorm.

And so...

I hauled my mothers
plastic suitcase up the hill

while everyone stared at me.

And I swore that the next time
anyone stared at me,

ID be getting out of a limo.

And I am.

And the best part of it is,

im getting out with you.

Hmm.

(Lively chatter)

Dont worry,
its only temporary.

In a couple of weeks,
youll be a pig!

-Oh, yeah.
-(Both laugh)

Cant wait to be a pig.

Lets go.

Man:
Phi iota gamma! (Whoops)

Andrew:
Phi iota gamma.

Pig house.

That just about says it all,
doesnt it?

Whats the matter, Tess,
youre not a frat rat?

Well, think about it.

A boy leaves his home and his
family to start a new life,

and the first thing he does
is join another family,

and sometimes
a very strange one.

Man:
Excuse me?

Would you mind, uh,
taking our picture?

Yeah, sure.

I was a pledge here
about a million years ago.

Now its maxs turn.

Im Sam rigney.

Good to meet you.
Im Rafael.

Ready?

Say cheese.

Both:
Cheese.

Sam:
Thank you.

What about you-- are you
a member of a fraternity?

No, im more of a free spirit.

Oh! Thank you.

Youre welcome.
See you around, Max.

Free spirits dont get
the big bucks, remember that.

-(Clears throat)
-Andrew: Something tells me

that Max wouldnt mind being

a bit of a free spirit himself.

Im telling you, Max.

It is really something
being back here.

Everywhere I look, its like...

Its like a memory.

So many... I dont know,

old ghosts.

-Hello.
-Girl: Hi.

See this?

That was the old library.

Dad, I really want to set up
my stereo, okay?

Hello, Samuel rigney.

God is watching, Samuel.

Dad, what are you looking at?

Uh...

Nothing, just one
of those old ghosts.

(Laughs softly)

Greg:

How about we take these
speakers, get them up

on the ceiling, huh, do a little
surround sound thing?

Excuse me? "Geek boy"?

Oh, come on, I mean that
with the utmost respect.

I mean, after all,
you are gonna be

my personal computer
science nerd, right?

Hey, you know, geeks are
running the world now.

There not just for helping jocks
pass their classes anymore.

(Laughs): Well, sure they are.

I mean, if they want to live.

(Max chuckles)

-Hey.
-Hey!

Rafael, these are my roommates
Greg and Jamie.

How you doing?
Good to meet you.

Good to meet you.
Im right down the hall, guys.

Oh, youre not
a freshman, are you?

Uh, more like a transfer.

Where from?

Here, there, everywhere.
(Laughs)

Flunked out, huh?

Doing the old eight-year plan?

Eh, I guess ill be here
for as long as it takes.

(Laughs) All right.

So what are you guys up for

for your first night
of freedom, huh?

Definitely something major.

How about a little pool, huh?
Winner gets top bunk?

I already got dibs
on the top bunk.

Dibs. (Laughs)

What are you, five?

I... called it first.

Thats the rules, right?

I dont know about you guys,

but I came to college
to get away from rules.

(Bell tolling)

Andrew:
May I help you?

No, im, uh, just, uh...

Just losing my mind.

I hope you find it.

-Hi.
-Hi.

Im Sam rigney, class of 77.

I think my name is actually
on one of those, uh,

those plaques over there.

Yes, I remember seeing it.

Uh...

Oh, this is very generous.

Well, if it werent
for this place,

-i wouldnt be where I am today.
-Mm.

I usually send my donations

through the mail, but I thought
ID bring it in person today,

because im dropping
my son Max off.

Hes, uh, hes a freshman.

But I dont want any-any favors,

no, you know,
no special treatment.

Mm.

I, um, by the way,
I found this book.

I think it belongs
to someone named Monica,

but im not sure
if shes a student or...

Oh, no.

Monicas a visiting professor
this semester.

Shes teaching philosophy.

Oh, so shes not...

Shes a visiting professor,

shes not here all the time.

Thats right,

and so I hope your son
will take advantage

of her class while shes here.

(Laughs) Uh, philosophy?

I... I dont think
thats for my kid.

I-I... I believe in more
of a, you know,

meat and potatoes
kind of education.

Thats what im...
Thats what im paying for.

-Does your son know that?
-Oh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, hes a
real chip off the old block,

-that kid.
-Mm.

So, it was nice meeting you.

Thank you.

Ill see you around.

(Music playing)

You know,
last week I had a curfew.

Now I could stay out all night
and no one would even know.

(Laughs) It doesnt seem real.

Hey, Max, did you see
that movie

the matrix?

None of this is real.

This is all just a
computer-generated fake world.

You know, behind the matrix,

were all just stuck
in incubation tubes

and the computers are feeding
off our energy.

Yeah, right.

Hey, its real.

(Both laughing)

Well, it-it could be.

(Quiet laugh)

All right, Jamie,
watch and learn.

(Groans)

So what classes are you taking?

Well, according to my dad its

business, economics,
accounting and statistics.

Not what you want to study?

Well, its not like I have
a choice-- its his money.

Yeah, but dont you want
to take at least one class

you dont need a slide rule for?

Like what?

I dont know.

What do you think of philosophy?

Philosophy? My dad would
never go for that.

That wasnt the question, Max.

The question was what do

you
think of philosophy?

The question was what do

you
think of philosophy?

Greg:
Come on, man.

Can I go?
This is... (Sighs)

If you want to get serious,
I can get serious.

This isnt a lot of fun for me.

Monica:

Wh

at is good? What is true?

Monica:

Wh

at is good? What is true?

What is moral?

These are the questions that
the great philosophers asked.

But not one of them
will be of any help

to you in answering them.

And thats what this
philosophy class is for.

Asking the questions
that will challenge you

and help you to find

your philosophy of life,
because lets face it.

Socrates, Aristotle,

Plato-- they were alive once
and they had great thoughts,

but theyre dead.

(Students laugh)

Youre alive,

and the great thinking
is up to you now.

(Phone ringing)

Hello?

Hi, mom.

Yeah. Oh, no, no, dont worry
about that. Thats okay.

You can just, uh,

you can just come
for homecoming or something.

Yeah, its just a...
Just a little while anyway.

No, no, everyones really nice.

Theres this one guy
I actually really like,

and were taking
a philosophy class together.

Yeah, philosophy.

No, I know, I know,

but I mean,
im interested it it,

and I just figured

if I take everything else
he wants me to take,

then whats the difference,
right?

Look, is he there?

No, I just wanted to talk to him

about the whole pig thing,
you know?

Ive been thinking maybe
im not the fraternity type.

Well, Monica says--

Monicas my
philosophy professor--

and she says that everyones
got to define

their own philosophy of life,
and im just thinking

that maybe the frat life
doesnt really fit into mine.

No, no, no, no,
dont-dont-dont bother him.

Its okay.

Uh, ill just talk
to you guys on Sunday.

(Chuckles):
Okay.

I got to get back
to the books, mom.

All right. You, too.

Okay, bye.

Lets order some pizza.

Only if youre paying.

(Grunts)

(Chuckles, knocking on door)

Sam:
Max?

-Dad, what are you...
-Is...

Come with me.

This is all gonna stop.

What?

Tomorrow you are going
to drop that philosophy class.

You drove all the way down here
to tell me to drop a class?

Could you excuse US, please?

I drove down here to remind you
whos paying the tuition

and whos making the decisions
around here.

You stay away
from philosophy class,

and you stay away
from that Monica woman.

And tomorrow morning,

you get your butt
down to that fraternity house

and you sign up to pledge.

-Dad...
-No discussion.

Just do it or pack your bags.

You understand?

Yes, sir.

(Door closes)

You want in,

you got to prove
yourself worthy.

Now, lets be clear
about exactly

what that means.

Humiliation and suffering
are key.

(Chuckling)

Brother:
Thats right.

At any time, day or night,

a brother can demand
that partake of a ritual

and you will do so.

You will be asked to prove

that the fraternity comes first,

before sleep,

before food,

and before classes.

You will learn
what the fraternity stands for,

what it has stood for
in the past,

and on hell night, youll be
asked certain questions

about its history,
so you might want to study up.

Brother:
Thats right.

-That includes you, Max.
-Yeah, go, Max.

Maxy, money boy.

As some of you may already know,
Max is a legacy.

As a matter of fact,

his father
was once president

of this very pig house.

(Group murmurs)

So Max is a shoo-in.

But you still got to go

through pledge week, Max.

-Thats right.
-Thats it.

And for legacies like you,

we like to make it
even more memorable.

-Oh, yeah.
-(Laughter)

Stand up.

-Ooh.
-Uh-oh.

Oh, poor little rich boy.

Look at him.

-Hes so cute.
-(Laughter)

I didnt say sit.

I want you to explain
the swine chug

to your fellow maggots here.

(Squealing)

The swine chug
is your last chance

to get into the fraternity if
you failed all the other tests.

You have to drink more beer

than the last years winner,

and you get in automatically.

Beer?

-(Laughter)
-Cheers.

No.

Tequila.

-Yeah, baby.
-Oh, baby.

My dad said it was beer.

Well,
welcome to the 21st century.

But youre doing so well.

Oh, my dad thinks
its a waste of time.

Oh, really?

I havent noticed him
in the class.

Well, the deal is I go,

he pays, so he chooses.

I see.

Thats an interesting
ethical dilemma, isnt it?

Youre accepting money

from your father
for your education,

yet your father
is telling you what sort

of an education you get.

So the question is

do you accept this free gift

or is it really
a free gift at all?

I dont know.

If you dont know,

that means you havent
really made a decision yet,

and I cant approve this.

(Crickets chirping)

Wake up, little piggies.

No rest for the wicked.

-Lets go.
-Wake up!

(Maniacal laughter)

Come on, come on!

Get your stuff, ladies.

Go, go, go. Come on.

Get in there.

(Laughter)

Pleasant dreams, little piggies.

Nighty night.

Man, its freezing in here.

What are we supposed to do?

Well, were gonna go to sleep.

Yeah, until the bell
wakes up up at 2:00.

And at 3:00, and at 4:00.

(Rattling)

What now?

Whats going on in here?

Jamie:
Uh, nothing.

Were pledging pig
and they locked US up in here.

Its like a hazing... thing.

Well, I cant leave you
locked up here.

Well, then just
leave US unlocked.

So then my mom told my dad
about the philosophy class,

and he freaked out.

Yeah, freaked, huh?

Ill spare you the details.

So he got tough,

and you caved, basically, right?

You dont know my dad.

I dont have a choice.

No, no, no, no, no,
you always have a choice.

You just made the easy one,
thats all.

(Train whistle blowing
in distance)

Well, I got to do my rounds.

So sleep tight,

if you can.

Night.

(Door closes)

(Tolling loudly)

(Panting)

Whats the matter?

I need my inhaler.

Hes having an asthma attack.

All right, im gonna run back
to the dorm

and get his inhaler for him.

Wait, all the doors are locked.

No, remember,
the guard left it open for US.

Jamie, im gonna be
right back, okay?

Anything happens, you start cpr.

Whoa, wait, im the jock.

I do the running;
You do the cpr.

Where is it?

-Its on my-my desk.
-All right, all right.

(Panting)

You hang in there.
You gonna be okay?

-Yeah.
-All right.

Greg should be back
any second, okay?

So just-just think
about something else.

Like, um, like getting
into a frat.

Soon youll be a pig, remember?

Or well all be pigs,

living in one big,
freaking sty.

(Raspy laughs)

I got it.

(Sprays, inhales)

(Breathing steadies)

Im all right.

Thanks.

Dude, dont do that again.

You are such a nerd.

(Laughs)

Are you going to study
all weekend?

I hope youre going
to have some fun, too.

Well, im not gonna be
studying much,

but I dont think
ill be having much fun, either.

Tonight is hell night.

Hell night?

Ooh, that doesnt sound like
too much fun.

What is it?

Oh, its-its this...

Fraternity hazing thing.

Its the last night
of organized torture.

-Ah.
-Yeah.

Wish me luck.

I dont make wishes,

and I dont believe in luck.

Thats right,
you just believe in philosophy.

No, I believe in searching
for the truth,

and I believe that search
finally leads to god.

God?

(Chuckles)

No way.

Whats so funny?

Oh, its just that,

philosophy is so...

Intellectual and god is so...

I mean, do you pray and stuff?

Yes.

This morning I prayed
for the wisdom

to be a better teacher.

I think youre a great teacher.

Then why dont you stay
in my class?

(Chuckles)
I want to.

I was thinking

that tomorrow night,

when my father comes up
for the initiation,

hopefully hell be
in a good mood

and maybe ill be able
to change his mind.

You know what
im gonna pray for tonight?

Im going to pray

that you change
no ones mind but your own.

Take care.

(Indistinct shouting,
rock music playing)

Ladies, watch and learn!

(Cheering)

Whats up?

All:
Chug, chug, chug,

chug, chug, chug, chug,

chug, chug, chug...

Man, put the thing away.

You know every piece
of pig trivia that ever was,

all right?

Youre a lock. Just relax.

Pig trivia time.

Well, ladies.

Number of brothers
that have been US senators?

-Two.
-Number of brothers

currently incarcerated
in US prisons?

Four.

No, five.

Sorry, correct answer is six.

They were all
white-collar crimes, though,

I might add.

Oh, well.

Cant win them all.

Thanks for playing our game.

No, no, no, wait, um...

What about the swine chug?

Pigs, gather round!

The nerd is gonna take
the swine chug challenge.

(Cheering)

(Excited chattering)

(Excited chattering)

Okay, ready?

Go!

All: Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!

(Cheering, excited chattering)

Open his mouth! Pour em in!

Hes totally blitzed!

Ill tell you what.

You finish his run,
youre both in.

No way.

(Lively chatter)

-Pig swear.
-Pig swear!

Pig swear!

Three more and we have
our first brothers of 2000!

All:
Three!

One more!
One more! You can do it!

All:

(All cheering)

(Cheering continues)

Greg, wake up.
Wake up, man. Come on.

Greg! Hes not breathing!

Guys!

Greg, wake up.
Come on, Greg, wake up!

Man:
Yeah, get it on back.

(Indistinct radio transmission)

Zach: Couple of pledges went out
and got drunk somewhere.

They came back, and one of em
passed out here on the grass.

Thats all I know.

You sure thats what happened?

Absolutely. Stupid pledges.

What can I do?
Theyll pump his stomach,

hell come back tomorrow
with a major hangover.

Happens every year.

So back off, officer.

(Brothers laughing)

Pigs, over here.

Max?

You gonna tell me what happened?

Zach:
Pledge... now!

Brother:
Come on, man. Lets go!

Zach: This house is already
on probation.

Okay, everybody, listen up.

If anybody asks, two pledges
went out and got drunk.

One of them passed out here.

Nobody ever served them drinks
inside the house.

Is that clear?

Whos the other pledge?

I am.

Jamies gonna take one
for the team.

All right, Jamie!

(Brothers laugh, whoop)

Brother:
You go, Jamie.

-Jamie...
-What?

Are you crazy?

Look, Max, theyre already
on probation,

and theyre gonna lose
their charter

if they got caught
serving alcohol.

So if I say
that its my Tequila,

and Greg and I were drinking it
outside the house,

then theyre off the hook.

Jamie,
theyre asking you to lie.

(Chuckles)
Did you see that?

You see how Greg drank the rest
of them for me? (Laughs)

You know, I never really had any
friends till I met you guys.

Ill see you.

(Indistinct radio transmission)

(People cheering)

(Cheering, applause)

(Tess chuckles)

(Sam chuckles)

That was some shot.

Well, hello there, Mr. Rigney.

I usually like to play
for money,

but I have a feeling
youd clean me out.

Baby, you dont even know.
(Chuckles)

What are you doing
back on campus?

Its a big night for my kid.

Pig house is having
their bonfire tonight.

Its where they separate
the men from the boys.

Sounds like a big night
for you, too.

Yeah, well, I gotta tell you,

I cant remember when ive ever
been prouder of that boy

than I am today.

Where is he?

Oh, I was gonna drag him down
here for a game of pool,

but I figured hed rather
hang out with his buddies.

Hes probably tired of hearing
his old man remembering when,

so I thought ID come down here

and remember when by myself
for a while.

You must have collected a lot
of memories

going to school here.

Some of the best days
of my life.

And, uh, a few of the worst.

Thats the way it is
with the past.

One worm will spoil
a whole apple.

Hmm.

God is watching, Samuel.

You look like youve seen
a ghost.

My whole head hurts.

Even my hair has a hangover.

Imagine how Greg feels.

-Hey, guys.
-Hey.

Oh, so youre really gonna join
this thing, huh?

Yep.

How come you hate fraternities
so much, Rafael?

No, no, I dont hate them.

Some of them do some
great things:

Fund-raising, volunteer work.

But when its just about
getting drunk

and pouring liquor down each
others throats,

thats not fraternity.
Thats just stupid.

Sam: Hey, there they are!
Two pigs in a poke!

Look at em. Big night
for some of US, Rafael.

Big night. Wheres Greg?

Uh, hes gonna meet US there.

Sam:
Oh, okay.

Well, you guys ready to go?

Yeah.

Oh, Mr. Rigney,
I wanted to ask you something.

Uh, I did some research on
the history of the fraternity,

and I found this old file.

Um, it says that the pig house
was on probation

when you were president.

Sam:
Uh...

I dont know where you got
that information,

but its not true.

We were never on probation.

Are you sure?
Because I looked up...

You know what? Why dont we get
into this later?

We gotta get to the bonfire.

Jamie:
Okay.

As I call your name,
step up to receive your candle

and swear the oath
of brotherhood.

(Crickets chirping)

Jamie Larson.

Brother:
All right, Jamie.

By the light of this candle,

before these gathered
brothers...

...and esteemed alumni,

I solemnly promise to be loyal

to the phi iota gamma
fraternity,

to uphold its heritage
and defend its honor.

(Siren wails)

(Siren stops)

Were looking
for a Jamie Larson.

Thats me. Whats going on?

Jamie Larson,
youre under arrest.

Mr. Larson,
you got to come with US.

Wait, wait. There must be
some kind of mistake.

What are the charges?

Illegal purchase of alcohol
by a minor,

providing alcohol to a minor.

You told me
this was no big deal.

You told me that it
wouldnt even matter!

No, no, no!
No, youve gotta help me!

Officer:
Settle down!

Max!

Excuse me, officer.

Is this absolutely necessary?

Please, stand back, sir. You
have the right to remain silent.

Jamie: No, no!
This isnt supposed to happen!

No! Im not supposed
to get arrested!

Officer: Anything you say can
and will be used against you.

You have the right
to speak to an attorney.

Those charges are totally bogus!

I dont get it. I dont get it.
What is the big deal?

The big deal is gregs
in a coma.

Hes brain-dead, Max.

(Indistinct radio transmission)

Gregs familys on their way,

but I dont know if theyre
gonna make it in time.

Im gonna go to the hospital
just to be there.

Okay.

Its a tough break.

Tough break? Dad, one of my
friends is gonna die,

and the other one
just got arrested for it.

Jamie broke the law, and he has
to take the consequences, Max.

Dad, Jamie did not do anything,
okay?

Hes taking the rap
for the frat house.

They were the ones that bought
the Tequila

and they were the ones that
poured it down gregs throat.

And Jamie is covering
for his brothers.

He never thought
it would go this far.

But it did,
and its pretty clear now

that no one is gonna
stand up for him.

Max...

Jamie took an oath
to defend his brothers,

and so did you. Remember that.

Something like this could
shut down the whole chapter.

Who cares if the stupid house
closes down?

I do.

I took that oath, too, remember?

Phi iota gamma has never
been shut down.

Wait a minute. Is that what
Jamie was talking about before?

Something about probation
when you were there?

It was a misunderstanding.

And they tried to shut US down
because of it,

but we stood together
and we fought it,

and all we got was probation.

It was nothing.

It was a misunderstanding.

You know, I dont see anything
about misunderstanding here.

I see police investigation,
abduction, attempted...

It was nothing.

Okay?

When I was here,
we had this, uh, tradition...

...where we would kidnap a coed

just before spring break,

and take her out

into the woods...

Steal her clothes,

and make her find her way back.

Interesting tradition.

All the girls
knew about it.

It was... it was like...

An honor to be picked.

And this girl--

Jill something, um--

she even volunteered, but...

The next day, she, uh...

She freaked out,

and she pressed charges
against me.

Just you.

Yeah. Yeah.
Who knows why?

Probably because
I was the-the president.

But... nothing happened
to that girl, Max.

But I could have been
in serious trouble.

It could have ruined my life.

But my brothers
covered for me,

and they said
I wasnt even there,

just like Jamie is doing now.

And thats why
this is so important,

and its so important that you
go along with it, Max.

Youre not just my son anymore;
Youre my brother.

And if you betray
this fraternity,

you betray everything
I believe in.

And you betray me.

(Monitor beeping rhythmically)

I think we could have been
best friends.

You, me and Jamie.

(Sniffles)

I really think we couldve.

(Door opens)

Rafael:
Max?

(Sniffles)

Im just, uh...

Saying good-bye.

I guess youve
already done that.

Nah, I dont say good-bye.

Just... see you later.

Thats optimistic.

Do you ever wonder
if theres more to this world

than we can actually see?

You mean like

the matrix?

You mean like

the matrix?

Sort of.

What do you think
that movies about?

(Sighs)

Uh...

I dont know.

Um...

Life as we know it is a...
A dream.

Some kind of computer-generated
construct

to keep US from
seeing behind the curtain,

at the bad guys
running the world.

(Chuckles)
Its science fiction.

What if I told you
there is a kind of matrix?

A sort of curtain that hangs
between this world and another?

ID say you were stoned.

Okay.

What if I told you

that behind that curtain

its not at all bad,

but really beautiful
and good.

You mean like a parallel
dimension going on?

Yeah.

And if it were true,

wouldnt you want
to know about it?

Yeah, sure, but...

I could show it to you.

Right.

Max, once youve seen this,

nothing will ever seem
the same again.

Woman (over P.A.): Social
services to admitting.

Social services to admitting,
please.

You know, right now
that doesnt sound so bad.

Go for it.

Hi, Max.

This is Tess.

Hi, baby.
Nice to know you.

Wh...?

Whats going on?

Monica, what are you doing here?

Dont be afraid, Max.

Were angels.

All of US.

Angels?

Youve had angels surrounding
you your whole life.

Everyone has.

So... god really... is.

Yes, he is, baby.

And he loves you.

Thats why he wanted you
to see this

and to see US.

I... I-I cant...
I cant believe this.

Max, a lot of people

get a glimpse
of what youre seeing right now,

and they decide,

"well, I cant believe this."

The truth is,
they dont want to believe it.

When youve seen the truth, Max,

and you realize that life
doesnt just begin with birth

and end with death,

suddenly everything matters.

Every act, every choice.

But the fact is that most people
are afraid of that.

And they decide that its easier

to go back to the other side
of the curtain

and try to forget
what theyve seen.

Thats what your father did.

I was there that night.

That night in the woods.

-Brother: Ha! (Laughs)
-(Girl screams)

Monica:

Jill briscoe didnt

vo

lunteer that night.

Monica:

Jill briscoe didnt

vo

lunteer that night.

She was very afraid,

and she had good reason to be.

-No!
-Where you going, baby?

Monica:

A terrible tradition

wa

s about to become

something even more terrible...

-Brother: Do it! Do it! Do it!

-A

crime.

-Brother: Do it! Do it! Do it!

-A

crime.

Come on, Jill!

No! Please, dont!

Brother 2: The partys just
getting started, baby!

(Screams)

-Go! Go!
-Go! Go!

(Brothers whooping)

-Go! Go!
-(Brothers whooping)

-What is that?
-What? I dont see anything.

-(Jill gasps, sobs)
-Right there.

-Brother: Go for it!
-What is that?

Theres nothing there, Sam!
Youre just drunk.

-Shut up. I said no names.
-Get off me!

Oh, hey, what, she...

-Let her go. We gotta split.
-What?

-I said, go! Now!
-Come on, lets get out of here.

Brother:
All right. Come on.

-Lets go!
-(Boys whooping, laughing)

(Grunts)

God is watching, Samuel,

and you are breaking his heart.

My... my father did that?

Yes.

Jill briscoe left college
and she never came back.

Tess:
Your father

was about the same age

as you are now, baby.

Now, he did not invent
this terrible tradition,

but he went along with it.

Now, god is not

asking you to judge him,

but there is a decision
youre going to have to make.

Keep on going along

like youve always gone along,

and be the nice little boy

everybody wants you to be.

Or...

Be the man god made you to be.

So whats it gonna be, Max?

You ready to live in the truth?

Yes.

I am.

Its just... its...

Its just too bad

that Greg didnt get a chance
to see this.

He did.

(Monitor beeping rhythmically)

See you later.

(Flatline tones)

Woman (over P.A.):
Code blue, room 116.

Code blue,
room 116.

Where have you been?

If you went to the police...

I was at the hospital, dad.

Gregs dead.

(Sighs)

Im sorry, Max.

Monica told me everything.

No wonder you didnt want me
to take her class.

My god, dad.

You have spent your whole life
lying to me.

Lying to yourself.

Sending money to the college,

hanging out
with the old frat buddies,

trying to rewrite the truth
about Jill briscoe,

but the truth
doesnt go away, dad.

Monica is lying.

(Sighs)

Monicas an angel.

And you knew that.

For just one moment there,

you knew that.

She saw what you were doing,

and she stopped you.

She saved Jill briscoe,

but she was trying
to save you, too.

God proved his existence
to you, dad,

and you just ran away from him

and hung out
with a bunch of drunk idiots.

Well, I dont want brothers
like that.

I dont care if I dont have
any brothers at all.

Or a father, either.

And I dont care

if I have to wash dishes.

I dont want your money anymore,

because it was never
a free gift.

I got a free gift tonight--
I know what that is now--

and I wouldnt trade it
for anything.

I love you, dad,

but I dont want to be like you,

and im not gonna go
along anymore

and I

am

going to the police.

And I

am

going to the police.

You want to get some pizza,
maybe?

Shoot some eight ball?

Ah, I cant. I got econ.

Rafael:
Hed beat you anyway.

Hey, were taking off.

I just wanted to stop in
and say good-bye.

Thank you... for everything.

Hey, who are you talking to?

(Chuckles)

Ill tell you later.

(Dove cooing)
