- Hey, Bucky, kick rocks, man. - Sorry, Coach.
- See you, Bucky. - It's okay. Get out of here.
All right, everyone. When y'all get released for the summer,
don't be a bunch of shitasses, all right?
Know you're gonna be out there partying around,
drinking, whoring, fornicating, glistening, engorging.
Try and keep your heads on straight.
All right, get the hell out of here now.
Hold up, one more thing.
Make sure you take your shit from your dorm
and your locker by 4:00 p.m., except for those of you
that are staying here for the summer.
Hey, Maximus.
Chebon.
Oh, right. Chebon.
Gonna be, uh, sticking around here for the summer
and, uh, staying in the dorm with us?
Yeah, yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Shit, man, if you get bored, just, uh, hit me up.
Get out and play some ball or something.
Just gonna be hanging around here anyways all summer
getting fat.
Yeah, um, sounds good.
- I'll let you know, thank you. - All right, mm-hmm.
All right, and, um, we are live.
Welcome to the Chebon show.
And what we have here is the dying days
of my junior year and the seniors enjoy
their final hours of being top dog!
Say hi, everything, yeah, congratulations.
Well, if it isn't Jimmy, my favorite super senior
in the world. That guy right there, he's the man.
Gave me some food one time.
Oh. Well, if it isn't these heads.
Irene, my favorite asshole in moccasins.
I salute you.
And how about you, my dear Mabel?
Did you storm any capitol steps today or burn any flags?
What's the deal? Tell me about it.
I'm really zoomed in on your face right now.
We burned something.
Turn that off. Brownie's waiting.
You guys are boring.
Did you get it?
What?
- The tabs? - The windowpane.
Um, shit, I forgot.
- Yeah. - You had one job.
- I will, okay? - Mm-hmm.
I'll catch up with you guys in a sec.
Just have a little faith, okay?
I'll get us windowpane.
Easy. Chebon out.
Perfect.
All righty.
Here we see Indian country's answer to the Three Stooges:
Limpy, Shrimpy and Pimply.
- What's up, degenerates? - Quit it, narc.
Probably filming for the cops.
All right, um, check it out.
Me and my crew, we're looking for some windowpane.
You guys got any?
Check your cousin.
Maybe he has some.
Yeah, Fixico always got some. Damn medicine man.
No.
- Y'all still fighting? - All over Mabel?
No, we're, um,
we're not fighting over Mabel.
- Um, they broke up. - Exactly.
Family ain't supposed to hold grudges.
You sure you don't want to come home with me for the summer?
You know you love my mom's fried pies.
Yeah, um...
No, I-I just don't want to be a burden to anybody.
Um, you know, I got tons of movies to watch in the theater.
Got tons of books to read, too, so, yeah. Mm-hmm.
Maybe you should make good with Fixico.
Why does everybody care if we're good? I...
Because he's your cousin.
Y'all shouldn't stay mad.
Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm good.
Plus you can stay at his place.
Bro, I said I'm good.
Ooh, okay.
Okay. Yeesh.
Sorry.
You're just... you're just trying to help.
I'm good, man. I'm just gonna read a lot.
Add this to the stack.
How's it going, Brownie? Still running around
being a shitass out there?
You know how it is. Rockin', rollin'.
You know, man, you could've been something.
You weren't a bad tackle.
Yeah, well, football, school...
- just isn't for me, Coach. - Hmm.
Too many rules.
Hell, man, you know how much freedom you have right now?
You're young. There are no rules.
Shit, wait till you grow up.
That's when they lay the rules on thick.
You break those rules, you get thrown in jail.
Here you just get a couple lickings from a clipboard.
What you know about licking, Coach?
Irene.
Sorry.
Wait'll you see the rules they have in jail.
You ain't gonna like it one bit.
Just you wait, Brownie, You're gonna think of me
when you're in McAlester Maximum Security
getting slapped around by some big stehekti guy.
- Ah, well, I'm glad you believe in me, Coach. - Mm.
Is that marijuana I smell in here?
No, that's, uh... That's cedar.
What kind of Indian are you?
You don't know the smell of cedar?
Sheesh. Cedar? Yeah, right.
Scout's honor.
All right, y'all, you have a good summer.
You take care of yourself, Brownie.
You little shitass, you. Look, look.
Dang, I thought he was never gonna leave.
Let's go, then.
Quit slamming my doors.
Holy shit, what is this?
You're the one who broke that one.
You really dropped the ball on this one, man.
We could've been on the moon right now.
Yeah? Well, why didn't you get us any?
Because you said you'd get it. Acting all big. Ooh!
You know, last time I recall,
you were the only person that wasn't in school, Brownie.
Hey, last time I remember, you had one job.
I think it's my favorite drug
of them all.
Aho.
I think you do too much of it.
- True. - Mm-hmm.
Hey, there's Fixico.
I'll ask him.
No. No, no, no. No. You don't have to do that.
- What? - You still mad at him?
No, I just...
I just think we can get it somewhere else.
- I know a few people. - This is all your fault.
It's my fault? I'm just doing my own thing.
This is all them.
Brownie.
Fixico, my brother.
Hey, what's up, Brownie?
My cousin up there?
Oh, yeah.
He still mad at me?
You know Chebon.
Acts white sometimes, holds grudges.
Oh, man, this has been a long one.
Say. Windowpane. You got any?
Trying to score some here in a bit.
That and a couple of lids.
- Meet me at the river? - Of course.
Bitchin'. My brother.
- All right. - Be right back.
- He's doing it? - Yeah. Give me the money.
- You have any cash, Chebon? - For what?
You dropped the ball. Cough it up.
Not for Fixico.
Come on.
Hurry up. Quit being cheap.
Okay, fine. For Mabel.
- For Mabel. - There you go.
Hear that, Mabel?
All snagged up.
You need to stop frowning. You're gonna get wrinkles.
Tell me what you told me yesterday.
- What? - About the sunset.
Oh, about golden hour?
Mm-hmm.
Well, um, golden hour is
kind of a function
of the Earth's axial tilt, such that twice a day
you get this soft light.
And, um, when the brightness of the natural light
from the sky perfectly matches the light that
we've made here on the land,
that is when you get your golden hour.
Chebon, you talk funny.
I like it.

We're in high school. People break up.
And me and him dated a month ago for, like, a week.
Yeah, I'm not mad about you and him.
People say that, but it's not why.
What, then?
Uh, I don't want to talk about it.
- Come on. - No, um, you don't want to know.
I do.
It's just family shit.
I mean, he's said some stuff that's hard to take back.
You know, he's always looked down on me.
Well, not down but sideways.
You know he's being trained to do medicine?
So? That's a good thing. What's wrong with that?
Nothing. It's just...
I don't know. Um...
To being young and indigimenis.
He just...
He's always had things.
Everything has just been paved for him.
Like... he has his parents, and I don't.
And it's not that he has these things
that make me angry or mad, it's just that
he doesn't acknowledge that I don't have those things.
So that's, um, my thing.
Oh, and, um, now that he has those medicine ways,
people treat him like a goddamn pope.
Should be worshipped, you know?
I don't know. When we were younger,
we were just two shitasses running around barefoot.
Yeah, but... you know, things change.
Anyway, that's why we got into it.
He thought it was over some bullshit,
but apparently I was holding some stuff in.
Mm.
I get it.
You do?
Don't make it right, but yeah, I get it.
And our lives starts today!
We can do whatever we want.
Maximus, where in the hell did you go?
Nowhere.
I'm just, like, thinking.
Just fuckin' stoned.
Ever since I left school, just been welding.
Pipelining.
Get to travel around.
Texas panhandle. Kansas.
That's your dream? To be a welder?
Figured if I save up enough money,
I can start my own dojo.
Put these fucking skills to use, eh?
And what about you, huh?
I'm gonna join AIM.
Storm the capital.
Yeah, right. You wanna snag one of them northern boys
with two braids.
Those big braids.
And you?
I want to raise little Indian babies.
Be a mama. Better one than mine.
You hear that, Maxi-pad?
Better start getting busy.
- Shut up. - I want kids, you know.
I want a big family.
Were you thinking maybe ten kids?
I want to be a scientist.
"I want to be a scientist."
Ho-ah.
What about you?
What do you want to be when you're older?
I don't know.
Make movies or something.
Like, you guys remember that Rollerball movie
where they showed what games would look like in the future?
I was thinking about stickball.
Like, making a futuristic stickball movie.
You ain't gonna make no fucking movie!
What are you gonna do, huh? You gonna move to Hollywood?
You ain't ever been west of the panhandle, man.
What's your guys' problem?
Whenever someone has a bigger dream than yours,
you just tear 'em down, like...
crabs in a bucket.
He's just joking.
You could be the Indian Peckinpaw.
