Carter, Mr. Smith is
a Fairfax County truancy officer.
We hear you've been ditching school.
Carter, I'm not screwing around here.
This isn't some guidance counselor
calling you out on the carpet.
There are state laws about being in school.
You could be in serious trouble,
and not just from us.
- Fine, I get it. - Do you?
"The officer may file complaints in juvenile court
"against a parent for failure to send the child
"to school and/or against the student
for failure to attend."
You could go to juvie.
And we could be held legally responsible.
I hate being there.
I know you do.
I hated it, too, but I went anyway.
You need an education.
Yeah, but school isn't the only place
to get an education.
I think I want to drop out.
That's not funny.
I'm not joking, I'll get a job.
- Carter. - What?
Not everyone hates school.
Taylor loves it.
Everything they teach in school is stuff
she already wants to learn,
but I don't learn like that.
I learn from people and experiences,
out in the world.
Mom, do you remember that time
you took me to that police training center?
That was amazing.
And I could never have learned any of that stuff in school.
But you have plenty of time in your life to go to work.
Okay, Dad.
Do you remember that book you got me by Bob Dylan?
I learned more about music in the '60s
from that book than I ever could have learned
from some textbook.
No one is stopping you from reading in your spare time,
but you only have one more year of school.
A year is an eternity.
I've been home less than a year.
What if someone told you
you had to wait another one to find me?
That's completely different.
We didn't know if you were alive.
I'm not alive when I'm in school.
I don't learn anything there
because I don't care about the stuff
that they're teaching me.
I'm not Taylor.
We don't want you to be Taylor.

you don't need a high school education.

Do you want to make a pros and cons list?
That always helps me if I'm having trouble
making a decision.
Yeah, okay.
Pros.
(sighing)
California.
It's beautiful and fun.
And I'd get to travel, which is something
I've always wanted to do.
And I'd be with Crash.
Cons?
I'd miss you
and...
Grant and...
Mom and Dad and...
(sighing)
I don't know, getting to know Ben.
Plus, if I left now, I'd...
I think I'd feel like I didn't really give
my life here a real shot.
But then I guess people make sacrifices
for the people they love,
and I could find a really great life
of my own out there.
You're starting to sound like me.
Driving yourself crazy, overanalyzing.
Well, it's a big decision.
It is.
But that's the difference between us.
You know, I'll spend hours going back and forth,
playing the pros and cons game.
But you figure out what you want
and you go for it.
And you never let anything stand in your way.
If you go...
I'll miss the hell out of you.
But do what's right for you.
(sighing)
It's really pretty.
(Crash) Hey, it's me.
I'm here.
See you in a minute.

(door creaking)
Whoa.
What do you think you're doing?
Wiping down these grimy tables
so we don't get hit with a health code violation.
Oh, and I refilled all the salt and pepper shakers.
Just putting the "I" in initiative.
Sorry, that was too much.
Do you not understand the meaning of the word "fired"?
I'm a slow learner.
Okay, well...
those candles aren't gonna light themselves.

I'm sorry I bailed last night.
It got late.
That's okay, I get it.
How is Gabe?
Uh, not great.
I think he's lucky...
to have a friend like you looking out for him.
I just hope he's not taking advantage of it.
- What do you mean? - He's going through a lot
and it seems like he's wanting to...
lean on someone.
You, mostly.
Well, we've been friends since we were kids.
I think he just needs the continuity.
Maybe he needs more.
Do you think that he might have feelings for you?
♪♪
No.
No, definitely not.
Yeah, I pretty much convinced myself that he did.
Well, I'm just gonna have to unconvince you.
Thanks for meeting me.
Yeah, no problem.
I'm sorry I kept you waiting earlier.
It's a crazy idea,
me thinking that you wanted to go.
No, Crash, it wasn't crazy.
I love that you asked me.
But...
you're on your own path.
And I still have to figure out what mine is.
- I'm sorry. - It's okay.
I always knew you were a free spirit,
I just didn't really think about it.
So, look... we'll talk, okay?
And you can ask your guy when you can have leave.
Figure it out.
We'll see.
What do you mean, we'll see?
I mean, the whole reason you're staying is so that
you can find your life,
figure out what you want, right?
Yeah.
You've spent all this time...
helping me, keeping me on the straight and narrow.
You've changed my life.
Now it's your turn.
I think what you really need
is to do this on your own,
with nothing holding you back.
You're not holding me back.
Maybe I am, maybe I'm not,
but you've done things for me, and so now it's my turn.
Okay, so what are you saying?
I love you, Carter.
I'm saying, we shouldn't call,
we shouldn't Skype...
or make plans.
You should live your life and I'll live mine.
And if there's any justice in the world,
then we'll cross paths again.

I kind of have this brother. "Finding Carter"...
And he's up to something.
Five laps or you get your ass out of here.
I guess my ass is out of here.
What if you went out with him? (Max) What's your angle?
You're lucky you got Taylor.
Shoot, she's not like anyone.
I've been thinking about Ben.
He'd be better off living with us.
(Carter) How could you sit there and eat dinner with them
and then steal from my dad?
Screw you.
[music plays]
Marnie?
I know we agreed to take some time off.
And I think that was a great idea. My God.
It gave us both a chance to experiment, if you will,
and meet all sorts of new and interesting, different people.
You did quite a bit more experimenting than I did.
A lot more experimenting. You are like a scientist!
