I'm really gonna miss this place.

Tell me again why you thought this was such a great idea?

You know how much I always wanted to travel with you and Lily.

Spin a globe and go wherever your finger lands.

I can't afford to take you around the world.

It's my way of bringing the world to you.

Right, by parking a stranger in my lap for an entire year

and giving her my space.

I'm hoping Isabella won't be a stranger for long,

that you two will become close friends.

I have Luke.

Female friendships are...

different.

- Isn't that kind of sexist? - Maybe, but it's true.

You worked so hard.

I want you to enjoy your senior year,

not just count the days until you leave for college.

Four hundred and 12 as of today.

Exactly my point.

Just keep an open mind.

For all you know, Isabella coming here

could be the best thing that ever happened to you.

Fifteen days till Y2K

and we are counting down the hits of the '90s.

Coming in at 91 is the Spice Girls.

to the University of Washington Class of 2004..."

- See? - "... and award you the Gates Scholarship

for excellence in academics!"

I did it. I did it!

I'm so happy that you're here with me for this.

Seriously, you coming here has been like

the best thing that's ever happened to me.

For me too.

We are gonna get in so much trouble this winter break.

Oh, yeah, it's gonna be the best two weeks of our lives.

What about giving your new arrival the grand tour of Chatham?

- Don't remind me. - Okay, so...

Honestly, how bad is it?

Well, the Airstream is officially cleaned out,

ready for the takeover.

I'm... I'm sorry.

- We can pour one out tonight at the Bloom. - Hmm.

Debbie keeps talking like she's doing me this huge favor,

- importing a new best friend for me. - Come on, that's my job.

I'm the mysterious, fun-loving sidekick.

Dude, there is nothing mysterious about you.

Maybe she won't be so bad.

The import.

Y'know, who spends their senior year in a completely different country?

Someone with no friends and nothing going on.

What if we just...

grabbed a boat, hit the gas and never looked back?

I don't think you'd last very long out on the open seas.

You'd miss your computer too much.

That's pathetic. True, but pathetic.

- Yo, yo, yo! - Yo, Freddy!

- Hey-hey! - How you guys doing?

What's happening? Yo, you guys have enough beer?

Oh, yeah?

Uh... come on.

I thought you were coming?

- I want to... - But you never do.

Most likely to succeed at being sober and celibate.

Yeah, I think you got that last part nailed, Freddy.

Megan...

You've been wanting to go out to the island,

it's the perfect day to go snorkeling.

I know, I know, but Debbie'll kill me

if I'm not there for the big arrival.

What's she gonna do, hit you with her yoga mat?

Come on.

This is our last high-school summer.

Last time to be...

officially stupid.

Yeah. Don't let this girl ruin it.

I won't. I won't.

Hey, dude, we're leaving.

- Do you want me to blow it off? - No.

She's not gonna wreck your summer too.

Get in the boat.

I'll see you guys at the Bloom.

- Whatever. See ya! - Bye!

Good luck.

All right, let's do this!

Let's go!

Whoo-hoo!

You're such a badass. I knew you would crush that scholarship.

Oh, it still hasn't really sunk in.

You know, when you're a big, famous coder,

I hope you still remember all the little people, okay?

I don't know, I think that nerd fame's going to go straight to my head.

I am just so stoked for you.

You totally deserve it.

I keep pinching myself to make sure I'm not dreaming.

Pinching is my department.

Hmm. Someone's getting possessive.

Maybe a little.

Too much?

No.

Aren't they pretty?

How much did they cost?

It's a special occasion.

So, a lot.

Why are you trying to impress some stranger?

She's flown thousands of miles to get here.

The least we can do is give her a warm welcome.

She's here!

Let's go.

- Hi! - Hi!

- Hi. I'm Isabella. - Lily.

Debbie Landry, welcome!

_

_

- Who'd you tell? - No one, I swear.

Well, someone talked. The sheriff's been asking questions.

It wasn't me.

It's gonna be double now. Unless you don't want it?

Wow. It looks just like the pictures!

Gosh, you guys are so lucky to live right by the water.

I could stare at that view all day.

Ah, we never get tired of it.

Where are you from?

Well, I was born in New York,

but we left the States when I was six months old.

I've lived all over the place.

I've lived in India, Malaysia, England, Argentina, Japan...

Just... everywhere.

My parents are diplomats, so...

Wow! Isn't she incredible, Megan?

Um, open it.

It's beautiful.

Well, it was made for those gorgeous flowers.

Uh, Lily? This is for you.

If you don't like it, we can always just, like, go

and exchange it for something else, but, um...

I love it. Thank you. Perfect.

Megan. This is for you.

Thanks.

Open it, Megan.

Your mom said that you liked mysteries, so...

Yeah, I do.

What are you doing?

Uh... I... I...

Are you going through my stuff?

Seriously?

Sorry, um... um...

God, I love shopping your closet.

That color really makes your eyes pop.

Can I wear this to Luke's dad's Christmas party?

Like you even have to ask. Come on.

I have never seen you look so happy.

I don't know.

Ever since I got the scholarship,

I feel like this 5,000-pound weight has been lifted off me.

I'm so happy for you. Seriously.

Thanks.

So...

there's this thing that I've always wanted to do.

- Mm-hmm. - But I've always been too scared and too practical.

- And too much of a rule follower? - Yes, maybe.

Mm-hmm.

Well, lucky that I came along and corrupted you.

I know, you keep telling me.

But I think that, now that the pressure's off,

I want to do it. With you.

Like, right now.

- I'm in. - Okay.

It's just ten dollars for the movies.

What's your problem?

What did you do with all your babysitting money?

Just give it to her.

It's bad enough they cancelled the Ocean Bloom.

Let her have some fun.

Change your shirt.

- You're such a beyatch. - And you look slutty.

Rather look like a slut than have everyone think I'm a freak.

Do you want the money or not?

You don't have to be so hard on her.

I'm trying to protect her.

If she gets a reputation now, she'll never shake it.

She's thousands of miles from home.

She's probably just as nervous as you are.

That girl hasn't been nervous a day in her life.

- She was born cool. - Oh, give her a chance.

Well, I'm not changing my routine for her.

I have to go by the restaurant,

get new cables for my computer, get gas.

Boring, normal, everyday stuff.

And then I'm gonna meet Luke at the Bloom.

- Take her with you. - Mom...

I told her you'd show her around town.

It'll be fun.

Ready to go?

So what, uh, what made you pick Chatham of all places?

Oh, I've never, like, spent any real time in the U. S.

And your mom's letter was so lovely, so...

made me feel like I would be really welcome here.

I wanted to come to a small town,

you know, be a part of a family, a community.

Have that normal American high-school

experience that I've always seen in movies.

Well, I hope you're not disappointed.

Nothing too exciting happens here.

It looks so pretty.

Like out of a postcard.

A very small postcard.

Where everyone knows everything about everybody else.

That can be nice though, right?

Except when you do something stupid in fourth grade

and people remind you about it for the rest of your life.

What are you up to?

I thought that you were afraid of heights.

I used to be afraid of a lot of things.

To the best friend I could ever ask for,

my ultimate "ride or die."

You helped me see things in myself

that I never believed were there.

I never want you to leave.

Let's do this.

It's really cold.

That's the whole point. Anybody can do this in the summer.

Ride or die.

Ride or die.

- Ready? - Mm-hmm.

One, two, three...

_

None of this would've happened if she never came to town.

I think about that all the time.

Hey, Megan. And hello, Megan's friend.

- Isabella. - Hey.

Is that a Manhattan?

- Yeah. Good eye. - My dad drinks those.

I like to steal the cherries after

they've soaked up some of the whiskey.

- Really? Do you? - Mm-hmm.

Uh, do you have my check?

Yeah, uh... Kim's gonna take your shifts this weekend.

And you'll work her Monday and Tuesday.

- But I'll make, like, half the money. - It all evens out in the end.

Except it doesn't. I need that money for my college applications.

You're just giving her the best shifts because she flirts with you.

Well, it's not my fault if she finds me irresistible.

Do we got a problem?

Nope.

Bye.

Where do you want to go to college?

Uh... University of Washington... U Dub.

They have this one scholarship,

it's a full ride for computer science majors.

Computer science? Wow.

God, I'm, like, so bad with numbers.

They've always come really easily to me.

Uh, what about you? What are you into?

Oh, uh, school's never really been my thing.

I'm more a student of life.

Well, there's my Gates Scholar.

You must be walking on air.

I could barely sleep. I'm so excited.

I can't believe it's real.

I'm so proud of you, baby.

The first Landry woman to go to college.

You're gonna run the world one day.

- Thanks. - I wish I had your drive.

Your focus.

You've done so great.

I never could have done any of this without you.

Hey, just so you know, I'm still gonna have a job while I'm at school,

- so I'll be able to help out. - No.

I want you to enjoy college.

Take your foot off the gas a little, let loose.

Let me be the adult for a change.

Okay.

Speaking of...

I will see you later.

Oh, wait.

- Thanks. - Yeah.

I'm really excited to be in one place for a change.

Really explore it.

Yeah, well, you can basically see all of Chatham in one day.

There's not a lot to discover.

My friend Luke, his dad owns most of the businesses around here,

so if you're not working for him,

then there's no real future, aside from waiting tables.

That's why I'm trying to get out.

Where would you go?

Um...

- After college? Silicon Valley. - Yeah.

That's where all the opportunities are.

Work for Apple or Yahoo! or maybe a start-up.

Here's the thing about this town,

just keep your expectations low and you'll be less disappointed.

Don't worry, I'm all about living in the now.

That sounds horrible.

Actually, it's pretty liberating.

You should try it.

You've got lots of time to figure

out what you want to do with your life.

That's what these years are all about.

Yeah, my dad doesn't really see it that way.

He's a reasonable guy.

Just keep talking to him, he'll come around.

Luke!

Hey.

Hey, Megan, how's your summer going?

Uh, it's... a little complicated.

Sounds intriguing.

But I'm sure it's nothing you can't handle.

- Have fun at the Bloom. - Yeah. See ya.

Hey, so it must be going well, you

haven't thrown her into the lake yet.

Not really. We kind of had a run-in earlier.

What, did she catch you going through her stuff or something?

Kind of.

Megan, I was kidding.

I wish I was.

You must be Isabella.

- Hi. - Hi. I'm... I'm Luke.

Um, did you just get arrested?

No, no, sorry.

I'm doing this high school law enforcement thing.

It's dumb, but my dad thinks it builds character, so...

Does it?

Well, drunk tourists have some very educational stories.

Having been one, I couldn't agree more.

Well, there's nothing wrong with the occasional vice.

Unless it's an empty stomach and a Zodiac full of Zima.

Anyways... has Megs given you the 411 on the Bloom tonight?

Hm-mm.

Oh, um, every July,

there's bioluminescence in the water for a couple days.

Yeah, so of course this town turned the cool natural wonder

into an opportunity to sell snow cones and glow sticks.

Sounds fun. I can't wait.

Thank you.

Hey, Megan. Picking up for your mom?

Mm-hmm.

Main Street was all backed up.

- Big ruckus on the water. - What's going on?

Fisherman found a body in the lake.

- They know who it is? - Not yet.

Coast Guard's on the way out there.

- Here we go. - Thanks.

Well, I'm excited for you,

and I'll have it for you by the end of the day.

Thanks, hon. I will.

All right, bye-bye. Come in.

- Oh, hey. - Hi.

I ran the numbers on that Northland project.

- And? - It's a big swing.

Sure you want to take on that kind of risk?

You think it's a mistake?

No. Just a high flyer.

Well, it is.

And I appreciate the caution, but I am moving on this.

I mean...

from my experience, Northland is the kind of deal

that could have a real impact on the town.

Right? It brings in business all year round,

it puts Chatham on the map.

Luke was at the house earlier.

Can you believe they're going to be seniors?

Oh, I feel like they were in kindergarten yesterday.

Time flies, huh?

Lining up investors already. Lots of interest.

The congressman's on line one.

Thank you.

Joe, buddy.

You still licking your wounds from that ass-kicking

I put on you last week?

Oh, yeah, rematch any time, any place.

Tell me when, I'll be on the first tee waiting for you, sir.

Sorry. Um...

the Northland investors are starting to get cold feet.

Can you find new investors?

Yeah, but that takes time and we're already losing

so much summer foot traffic to Pine Cove.

Northland was going to recoup all of it, maybe more.

Have you tried hitting them with a full blast of the Chambers charm?

I think that's gone.

Hardly.

Most of the women in this town

would ditch their husbands if you looked at them twice.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

So, anyway, that's my long-winded story.

Well, it was very entertaining.

Hope I didn't bore you.

No, I loved it.

Oh, guys, everyone. Hi. This is Isabella.

She's visiting for the year from...

- Uh, France, most recently. - France.

- Bonjour. - Seriously?

Well, I'm just trying to make her feel more at home.

It's actually not the worst French accent I've heard.

This charmer is my brother Brent.

And that's Parker, Kellie, and Amy.

- Hey! - Hey!

- Hi. - Oh, my God.

I need a drink.

Great shirt. It's like very Gwen.

Oh. Um... thanks.

How do you say "You're hot" in your language?

You mean in English?

Or do you want me to translate it

into whatever it is that you speak?

Okay, you're done, you're done. You're cut off, you're cut off.

I'm Jeff.

Nice to meet you.

Hi.

Oh, cool. Are you making a documentary?

More like cinema verité.

- Nice. - You lucked out.

You couldn't ask for a better host than Megan.

Ah, I wish we were going to the same college.

We're only gonna be an hour apart, we'll see each other every weekend.

What if I can't wait that long?

What was that?

That guy's a stone cold freak.

That freak was employee number 12 at Apple.

He's coder royalty, worth millions.

I heard him going on at the hardware store

about how the world's gonna end on Y2K.

What's he gonna do if it comes and nothing happens?

Let's go inside.

Uh, yeah, about four years.

But we-we'll get into that next week.

Okay? See ya.

You look beautiful.

Ah!

You're pretty dashing yourself.

I like the shoes.

Oh! Well, you have excellent taste.

You've outdone yourself.

Well, uh, Wayne Bright and some of the Northland investors are coming.

I thought... pull out all the stops. Yep?

They should be very impressed.

They're adorable.

Puppy love.

Oh, I don't know.

I think it may run deeper than that.

Yeah, I mean...

they have their whole futures ahead of them,

a little too young to get tied down.

Here's Wayne now.

- Want to help me close this? - You bet.

- Glad you could make it. - It's nice to finally meet you.

- Hey, hey! - Happy holidays.

- What's up? - Hi, Jeff.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - Okay.

Uh, the bartender, he goes to school with Brent,

so he's really cool.

And he's smoking hot.

- Hi. - Hi!

Oh, that guy does not stand a chance.

No. She's pretty irresistible when she wants something.

Sounds like someone else I know.

Wow. That doesn't even look real.

It only lasts for, like, three days, so enjoy it while you can.

Luke's cute.

How long have you two been dating?

Ah...

it's... it's not like that.

I've known him my whole life, he's practically my brother.

Oh. Okay, I thought that there was, like, a vibe or something going on,

but I didn't...

You thought wrong.

- Guys. - Hey, what's up?

Hey, you guys made it.

- Hey! - Do you want some?

Uh, sure.

- Oh, I'm good. - Wait, you don't drink?

- Hm-mm, no. - Like ever?

Never!

No, trust me, I've tried to corrupt her many times, but she's just...

too much of a control freak.

Yeah, and your drunk ass loves having a designated driver.

So true. Please, thank you.

Principal Bowers, it's so good to see you.

Your dad was just telling me how excited you are

to be following in his and Brent's footsteps at Branson.

It's the Chambers way.

Branson has a great business program and he'll love it.

Sorry to interrupt.

I need to steal you two. Judge Fallon wants to say hi.

Okay.

Every time I hear "business program,"

I want to eat a gun.

Have you tried telling your dad that?

Are you kidding?

His head would explode into, like, a million pieces.

I know.

Well, if you ever want to try, you know I'll have your back.

I love you.

I love you too.

Mike the bartender may be the dumbest person I've ever met.

Including Freddy.

Well, is he hot enough that you don't care?

I think so. Yeah.

You girls are ice cold.

Oh, come on, guys are just as bad.

- We're just honest about it. - Mm-hmm.

- Hey! - Hey.

Oh! Man.

You were so worried that you were gonna have to babysit her,

but she's doing fine.

You... have to admit, she's kinda great.

Is she?

You know, you're not the best at letting people in.

Okay, fine, maybe there's nothing objectively wrong with her.

Yeah? But?

I just don't see us ever being friends.

♪ She'll make you take your clothes off ♪

♪ And go dancing in the rain ♪

♪ She'll make you live her crazy life ♪

♪ But she'll take away your pain ♪

♪ Like a bullet to your brain ♪

♪ Upside, inside out ♪

♪ She's livin' la vida loca ♪

♪ She'll push and pull you out ♪

♪ Livin' la vida loca ♪

You and Luke, like, really aren't a thing?

Nope.

So you would be okay if I hooked up with him?

Uh, n... yeah, no, go for it.

Cool.

I mean, he may not even be interested, but...

- Hey. - Hey.

Freddy! Freddy, why would you do that?

I'm sorry, um...

about before.

Going through your stuff.

That wasn't cool.

Good night.

Can I...?

Thank you all for coming.

When my late wife Jane and I

first started throwing these parties,

our boys, Brent and Luke, were babies.

Uh, the first year it was

just a handful of close friends and, you know, some pizzas.

Things have changed a little bit since then.

Um, Brent is now at Branson,

and Luke is following in his footsteps this fall.

Couldn't be more proud of you.

And we all couldn't be more excited

to share this evening with all of you.

So, tradition dictates that we'll show a Christmas movie.

This year's selection was Jane's favorite,

and it's one that holds a special place in my heart as well.

So, please get another drink, get some food,

and enjoy.

Uh... merry Christmas.

Hear, hear!

- Merry Christmas! - Happy holidays.

- Nicely done. - Yeah, well, thank you.

Want to head inside?

Yeah, I do.

What the hell is this?

Someone turn off the tape. Someone turn it off!

- Turn it off! - Is that Isabella's sweater?

That's totally Isabella!

Luke! Turn it off!

Some best friend you are.

Megan, please!

Megan, wait! Megan! Megan, listen to me!

Let go of me!

- Don't need to... Steve! - Jack, Jack!

It's Luke.

It's Luke.

We have to get our story straight.
