Nicole You know how everyone's always saying seize the moment? I don't know, I'm kinda thinking it's the other way around. You know, like the moment seizes us.

Mason Yeah. Yeah, I know. It's constant - -the moment. It's just... It's like it's always right now, you know?

Nicole Yeah.

Mom [Mason is leaving for college] This is the worst day of my life.

Mason What are you talking about?

Mom [Starts crying] I knew this day was coming. I just... I didn't know you were going to be so fucking happy to be leaving.

Mason I mean it's not that I'm that happy... what do you expect?

Mom You know what I'm realising? My life is just going to go. Like that. This series of milestones. Getting married. Having kids. Getting divorced. The time that we thought you were dyslexic. When I taught you how to ride a bike. Getting divorced... again. Getting my masters degree. Finally getting the job I wanted. Sending Samantha off to college. Sending you off to college. You know what's next? Huh? It's my fucking funeral! Just go, and leave my picture!

Mason Aren't you jumping ahead by, like, 40 years or something?

Mom I just thought there would be more.

Mason Dad, there's no real magic in the world, right?

Dad What do you mean?

Mason You know, like elves and stuff. People just made that up.

Dad Oh, I don't know. I mean, what makes you think that elves are any more magical than something like a whale? Yoy know what I mean? What if I told you a story about how underneath the ocean, there was this giant sea mammal that used sonar and sang songs and it was so big that its heart was the size of a car and you could crawl through the arteries? I mean, you'd think that was pretty magical, right?

Samantha [as the family leaves their house for the last time before moving] Goodbye, yard! Goodbye, crepe myrtle! Goodbye, mailbox! Goodbye, box of stuff Mommy won't let us take with us but we don't want to throw away. Goodbye, house, I'll never like Mommy as much for making us move!

Mom Samantha! Why don't you say goodbye to that little horseshit attitude, okay, because we're not taking that in the car.

Mason So what's the point?

Dad Of what?

Mason I don't know, any of this. Everything.

Dad Everything? What's the point? I mean, I sure as shit don't know. Neither does anybody else, okay? We're all just winging it, you know? The good news is you're feeling stuff. And you've got to hold on to that.

Mr. Turlington [Enters the darkroom] How long have you been in here, Mason?

Mason Not sure.

Mr. Turlington I'm sure: All class. Did you complete your image diary?

Mason Not yet.

Mr. Turlington Completed your digital contact sheet?

Mason Not quite, but, I mean, it's not gonna take me long.

Mr. Turlington "Not yet." "Not quite." Darkroom time is extracurricular. I mean, technically, you don't ever have to be in here these days. And certainly not until you've completed your assignments. That's the deal.

Mason [Sarcastically] Sorry.

Mr. Turlington I'm worried about you, Mason.

Mason [laughs] Why is that?

Mr. Turlington I'll tell you why: The images you're turning in, they're cool. You're looking at things in a really unique way. Got a lot of natural talent.

Mason Thanks.

Mr. Turlington Yeah, but that and 50 cents will just get you a cup of coffee in this old world. I've met a LOT of talented people over the years. How many of them made it professionally without discipline, commitment and really good work ethic?

Mason [Shrugs]

Mr. Turlington I can tell ya. I can count it on two fingers:

[Makes A-ok hand gesture]

Mr. Turlington Zero. It's not gonna happen for you, Mason. The world is too competitive. There are too many talented people who are willing to work hard; and a buttload of morons who are untalented, who are more than willing to surpass you. As a matter of fact, a lot of them are sitting in that classroom out there right now. Hm? You know what they're doing? They're doing their assignments. Which is what you're supposed to be doing, but you're not. You're in here. Now, why is that? You're special, Mason?

Mason No, but, I mean, the things you're talking about, like, work ethic or whatever, I feel like I do work pretty hard. I spend the hold weekend taking pictures a lot of times.

Mr. Turlington You like football, Mason?

Mason Not really.

Mr. Turlington Yeah, I know you don't. That's why I've just assigned you to shoot the football game tonight. Okay? Starts at 7.30, I want you to get there early. I want you to shoot a full card, 300 images. I want 'em downloaded, I want 'em sorted, and I wanna see 'em very first thing Monday, okay? Wanna know why I'm doing this?

Mason I guess.

Mr. Turlington Who do you wanna be, Mason? What do you wanna do?

Mason I wanna take pictures. Make art.

Mr. Turlington Any dipshit can take pictures, Mason. Art, that's special. What can you bring to it that nobody else can?

Mason That's what I'm trying to find out.

Mr. Turlington Try harder. Hey, maybe in 20 years you can call old Mr. Turlington, and you can say: "Thank you, sir, for that terrific darkroom chat we had that day."

[Walks out of the darkroom]

Mr. Turlington Get back to class and do your work.

Mason I finally figured it out. It's like when they realized it was gonna be too expensive to actually build cyborgs and robots. I mean, the costs of that were impossible. They decided to just let humans turn themselves into robots. That's what's going on right now. I mean, why not? They're billions of us just laying around, not really doing anything. We don't cost anything. We're even pretty good at self-maintenance and reproducing constantly. And as it turns out, we're already biologically programmed for our little cyborg upgrades. I read this thing the other day about how When you hear that ding on your inbox, you get like a dopamine rush in your brain. It's like we're being chemically rewarded for allowing ourselves to be brainwashed. How evil is that? We're fucked.

Dad [while canvassing for the 2008 Presidential Election] Go get that McCain sign, would you?

Mason What?

Dad Get the McCain sign. Go rip it up, come on. Get it, get it, get it, go, go, go!

Dad [to Mason, after he gets the McCain sign] Good job, good job. Proud of you, son.

Samantha You guys are gonna get us arrested.

Dad Look, I'm a patriot, all right? And sometimes in this life you gotta fight.

Mason I just feel like there are so many things that I could be doing and probably want to be doing that I'm just not.

Sheena Why aren't you?

Mason I mean, I guess, it's just being afraid of what people would think. You know, judgement.

Sheena Yeah. I guess it's really easy to say, like I don't care what anyone else thinks. But everyone does, you know. Deep down.

Mason I find myself so furious at all these people that I am in contact with just for controlling me or whatever but you know they are not even aware they are doing it.

Sheena Yeah. So, in this perfect world where no one is controlling you. What's different? What changes?

Mason Everything. I mean, I just wanna be able to do anything I want, because it makes me feel alive. As opposed to giving me the appearance of normality.

Sheena Whatever that means.

Mason I don't think it means much.

Sheena You are kinda weird, you know that?

Mason Yeah? Is that a compliment?

Sheena I don't know. Do you wanna be weird?

Mason I mean, I don't wanna scare kids at the park, or anything like that.

Mason I really like talking with you. I don't usually even try to like vocalize my thoughts, or feelings or anything, just I don't know it never sounds right. Words are stupid.

Sheena So why are you trying with me?

Mason I don't know, I guess, I feel comfortable.

Samantha [after leaving Bill's family for good] Why couldn't we take Randy and Mindy with us?

Mom Because sweetie, I'm not their legal guardian, that would be kidnapping; it's against the law.

Samantha Couldn't you talk to their mom?

Mom I tried their mom, but I can't reach her.

Samantha Well, what's going to happen to them?

Mom [starts crying] I don't know...

Mom [Driving Mason Jr. home from school] Your teacher said you're behind on your homework assignments.

Mason No, I did them, they were just sitting in my backpack.

Mom So, why didn't you turn them in?

Mason She never asked for them.

Mom Well, honey, she's not supposed to ask for them. It's your job to give them to her once you've finished.

Mason Oh.

Mom She also said you destroyed her pencil sharpener.

Mason No I didn't.

Mom Then what did you put in it instead of pencils?

Mason Rocks.

Mom Why were you putting rocks in the pencil sharpener?

Mason Because I needed them for my arrowhead collection.

Dad Top of volume two, first four tracks. You've got "Band on the Run" into "My Sweet Lord" into "Jealous Guy" into "Photograph." Come on! It's like the perfect segue.

Dad [frustrated with the monosyllabic answers Mason Jr. and Samantha are giving him] No, no, no. I'm not gonna be *that* guy. You know, the "biological father, who I see on the weekends, and I make small talk with him while he drives me places and buys me shit." No.
