Orange County

:04:00

Now you’re talking.

:04:04

I need some feedback,
and there’s no one here to help me.

:04:07

Got your story here. Wow.

:04:09

I have the sneaking suspicion
that my English teacher is illiterate.

:04:13

I noticed you used a lot of big words.
Nice. Good for you.

:04:17

It was a little long, so I didn’t
read the whole thing.

:04:21

But who cares?
‘Cause I gave you an A.

:04:24

My brother, Lance, is perpetually
recovering from the night before.

:04:33

I’m sorry.
I don’t feel good.

:04:38

My girlfriend is the only one
who’s actually read my work.

:04:41

But she’s always so positive,
it’s hard to take her seriously.

:04:44

It’s, like, the best story
I’ve ever read.

:04:48

Really?

:04:49

It’s funny and original.

:04:53

I mean...

:04:55

I think it could be a movie.

:05:07

I don’t know if Orange County
is the best environment...

:05:09

for an aspiring writer...

:05:11

so I’m applying to Stanford.

:05:15

You are a shoo-in.

:05:18

Do you think I should apply
to some safety schools?

:05:21

No need.
Don’t be a scaredy-cat.

:05:23

There’s no doubt in my mind
you’re gonna go to Berkeley.

:05:27

Stanford.

:05:28

Yes. Stanford is where
you’re going, mister.

:05:32

I’m sending you
a copy of my story.

:05:35

Hopefully,
with your wisdom and guidance...

:05:37

I will one day be a real writer.

:05:41

I look forward to seeing you
in the fall, Mr. Skinner.

:05:44

Your greatest admirer,
Shaun Brumder.
