1:15:00
and wondering if he had left
the South...
1:15:04
would he have ever written a
Light in August?
1:15:08
Or what if James Joyce
had left Ireland?
1:15:11
Well, I mean, he did leave Ireland,
but not in his heart.
1:15:16
Do you see what
Im getting at here?
1:15:21
I dont need to go to Stanford
to be a writer.
1:15:26
All I need are
the people who inspire me...
1:15:28
Like my friends...
1:15:32
and my family....
1:15:38
and you.
1:15:41
So Im gonna stay.
Im gonna stay in Orange County.
1:15:46
You are!
1:16:03
Stanford sucks!
1:16:14
"Dear Mr. Skinner,
Im writing you to say thank you...
1:16:17
for all your words of wisdom.
1:16:20
It took me a while,
but I finally realized...
1:16:23
Orange County
is the perfect environment...
1:16:25
for an aspiring writer.
1:16:27
Today I went down to the beach
with a copy of your book.
1:16:31
I left it there by the water.
1:16:34
Maybe another mixed-up kid
will stumble upon it.
1:16:36
And maybe it will change his life
like it changed mine.
1:16:39
Later, Mr. Skinner.
1:16:42
Yours truly, Shaun Brumder. "
1:16:50
Dude, dont touch!
Im lighting the fire.
1:16:53
It was my idea,
and youre an idiot.
1:16:55
Youre gonna blow off your hand.
Give me the lighter.
1:16:57
Dude, Lonny would have wanted me
to blow up his board, dude.
