"Just another Sunday morning
In my quiet...
:39:06
"Mountain town"
:39:08
[ music ]
:39:10
"You can see your breath
Hanging in the air
:39:13
"You see homeless people
But you just don't care
:39:16
"It's a sea of smiles
In which we'd be glad to drown
:39:19
"It's Sunday morning
In our quiet little
:39:22
"White-bread redneck
mountain town"
:39:24
- Columbine is a normal
high school--
:39:26
- Yeah.
- ...in a normal suburb--
:39:28
- Yeah.
- ...you know, basically.
:39:29
- Yeah. Painfully, painfully,
painfully normal.
:39:31
Just absolutely, painfully,
horribly average.
:39:34
Littleton in general is...
:39:37
I remember being in sixth grade
and I...
:39:41
had to take the math test
to get into Honors Math
:39:43
in the seventh grade.
And they're, like,
:39:45
"Don't screw this up.
Because if you screw this up,
:39:48
you won't get into Honors Math
in seventh grade.
:39:50
And if you don't get in
in seventh grade,
:39:52
you won't in eighth grade,
then not in ninth grade.
:39:54
And 10th and 11th grade
and you'll just die poor
:39:57
and lonely."
And that's it, you know?
:39:58
You believe, in high school -
and a lot of it is kids,
:40:03
but the teachers and counsellors
and principals
:40:06
don't help things.
They scare you into conforming
:40:10
and doing good in school by
saying: "If you're a loser now,
:40:13
you're gonna be a loser
forever."
:40:15
So that with Eric and Dylan,
people called them "fag."
:40:17
They're like, "You know what?
:40:19
If I'm a fag,
now I'm a fag forever."
:40:21
And you wish someone just
could've grabbed them and gone,
:40:24
"Dude, high school's
not the end of...
:40:26
A year, a year and a half,
was it? I don't even know.
:40:29
You just move out--
- No, no, they were two weeks
:40:32
away from graduation.
- Yeah, you're done.
:40:35
It's amazing how fast you lose
touch with all those people.
:40:37
They just beat it in your head
as early as sixth grade:
:40:40
"Don't fuck up.
'Cause if you do,
:40:42
you're gonna die poor
and lonely.
:40:44
You don't want to do that."
You're, like, "Fuck,
:40:46
whatever I am now,
I'm that forever." Of course,
:40:48
it's completely opposite.
All the dorks in high school
:40:51
go on to do great things
and all the really cool guys
:40:53
are all living back in
Littleton as insurance agents.
:40:56
Almost person to person,
it's completely that way.
:40:59
If somebody
could've told them that,
