:25:04
So when's your interview?
:25:08
- It was today.
- How'd it go?

:25:10
Fine, I guess. I did the interviews
'cause Mom wants me to.

:25:13
- You're not interested in college?
- Why keep going to school...

:25:16
when anything I need to fiind out about
I can look up myself?

:25:18
Dad didn't go to college. By the time
he was my age, he was on the road.

:25:21
- How is everything here?
- First-rate. Thanks.

:25:25
But... the good thing about college
is you get to hang out a lot.

:25:30
- It's good for the social skills.
- Yeah.

:25:37
So... my mom says you're kind of,
you know, like a ladies' man.

:25:42
- She said that?
- But she says it like it's a bad thing.

:25:46
That sounds like her.
:25:48
- Is it true?
- What about you? You have a girlfriend?

:25:53
No. I mean, you know, not yet.
:25:59
Look. I'm getting older, and there's
a lot of stuff that I wish I could--

:26:07
There's a lot of stuff that I haven't--
There's certain things I need to--

:26:12
Yeah. I thought you said
you could look that stuff up.

:26:14
No. I mean, not this.
:26:16
You don't understand. I need
someone who knows what to say--

:26:19
I'm kidding you, Nick.
That's what college is for.

:26:22
You fiind some football player who needs
tutoring, and he helps you get girls.

:26:27
- You don't get it.
- I get it. I was 1 6 once, all right?

:26:31
What are you going to do
if you don't go to college?

:26:33
Design software.
Maybe work on simulation games.

:26:36
That's right. You're the computer whiz.
There is money in that.

:26:38
I already make money
setting up systems for people.

:26:40
I'm working on a web page
for Granddad for his research.

:26:43
What, the old man?
He's actually spending money?

:26:45
Yeah, good money too.
:26:47
It's funny, 'cause he yells
at his computer like it's a person.

:26:49
He's always going,
''That bitch ate my fiile.''

:26:51
- Or, ''She's playing hard to get.''
- You spend a lot of time there?

:26:55
Yeah, nowadays.
:26:56
I go over after school, and he
comes over and eats dinner with us.

:26:59
Wait a minute.
He eats dinner with you and Susan?
