  • a Quick think of number one to ten Yes, you all of you in the audience right now Or maybe it's just one of you or four of you or a hundred of you depending on how successful this movie is whatever Just think of a number once ten Got it Is it seven?

  • Chances are I'm wrong, but for about one out of every three of you.

  • I just play your goddamn mind But one out of three not one out of ten How is that possible Oh First of all, no one would pick one or ten, right?

  • Like that just stupid picking on the ends and you didn't even specify one in ten are included, right?

  • So people wouldn't want to mess with the rules or anything like it would be embarrassing to fuck up choosing the number one through ten What do you think people choose a number seven?

  • Well, I'm an Aquarius.

  • So three gives off bad vibes for me Yeah, five bro.

  • Like that's just midday.

  • Yeah No cap.

  • Well, you see Pythagoras actually calculated even integers are more predictable two and four Feel a bit harmless if you will, you know back in my day And so there was Science has found that 33% of people will choose seven and yet no one could quite explain why Out of a seemingly random set of arbitrarily assigned values out of complete and utter meaninglessness and nothingness came Everything I mean think about it We live in a world with so much uncertainty with like climate change civil unrest The only thing on serve right now is what college you're going to miles It's really not that complicated go to a good college get a job and die And what's with all that one through ten shit you say every day?

  • Yeah, what's with that?

  • Anyway?

  • Yeah, what's with that anyway?

  • I don't know.

  • I don't know anything.

  • Try to remember.

  • Memories with you?

  • With me.

  • We're fucking graduating!

  • Get the fuck down!

  • Oh my god!

  • What?

  • No, no, I just...

  • Right.

  • If we...

  • Maybe.

  • If we...

  • Could?

  • Yeah, absolutely.

  • What?

  • Totally could.

  • What are you... yeah, okay.

  • Well, I should probably get going.

  • I just have so much work that I gotta do.

  • Yeah, same.

  • Cool.

  • But it was really nice conversing with you, Harper.

  • Precisely.

  • Have a great night, Miles.

  • You too.

  • You too.

  • All right.

  • Wait, do you wanna kiss?

  • No, no, no.

  • I was gonna, I was gonna, like, yeah, like obviously.

  • Door.

  • Door.

  • Door.

  • Yeah.

  • Yeah, um, but obviously.

  • So, should we drive around some places?

  • Let's do that.

  • Yeah, let's...

  • Okay.

  • Seven.

  • It was also the first time I encountered the pinnacle of existence.

  • Death.

  • Door.

  • Why do you think that raccoon killed himself?

  • He didn't.

  • Animals don't do that.

  • But what if they have feelings, just like us?

  • Maybe his wife died and he went through months of existential grief in rehab.

  • Where is all this coming from?

  • Mom, did Uncle Fred kill himself?

  • You'll never have control over what you learn.

  • You'll never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.

  • Pick a number.

  • One through ten.

  • Ten.

  • Um...

  • And now, you all are probably expecting a happy moral to the story.

  • Or some kind of, but wait, there's more, ending.

  • But there is none.

  • There's no meaning to any of this.

  • There's no meaning to any of your shitty follow your dreams valedictorian speeches or virtue signaling We live in a society Pinterest quotes and definitely there's no And definitely there's no meaning to my pretentious, nihilistic and edgy attempt at self-awareness for the sake of self-awareness.

  • Will you remember me?

  • Of course.

  • I don't think I will.

  • Yeah, honestly, I don't think I will either.

  • No, like, I'll remember you.

  • But, like, for 50 years...

  • Like, we probably won't give a fuck about each other, let's be honest.

  • Right, exactly.

  • Yeah.

  • I mean, maybe, though.

  • Yeah.

  • I'd like to think so.

  • I'll be like, remember that Miles kid?

  • I really liked him.

  • He was really cute.

  • He had nice eyes.

  • I guess.

  • It's a weird feeling.

  • It's a kind of fleeting feeling we've only really experienced once.

  • Like, we're not going to realize how good we had it until we're old and inevitably lose contact with each other.

  • And then...

  • And then remembering all of this will be painful.

  • Do you think, then, that it would be better to remember or forget?

  • Yeah, me too.

  • We begin tonight with New Mexico...

  • It's strange.

  • The worst day of decisions for protests...

  • There's so many random things happening in the world at once that don't feel like they make sense.

  • Okay, now I'm going to ask you, what do you think the meaning of life is?

  • Just to have fun and don't care what anyone else thinks of you, at all.

  • Just live in with the journey, the experience, and find some happiness there.

  • Honestly, just do whatever the hell you want, because, I mean, in the end, none of this is going to matter.

  • And these people that you think care right now, they really don't.

  • I guess to focus on yourself and do what you want to do and not waste time.

  • To help people.

  • To do more good than bad.

  • So, how do you feel about the future right now?

  • The world's kind of uncertain at the moment.

  • Personally, kind of scared.

  • Not great.

  • I'm just kind of nervous about it.

  • It takes a lot of work to be honest.

  • I don't know where I'm going to go to college, I don't know what I want to do with my life, and so I don't know where I'm going to go.

  • It's just such an unexpected thing.

  • You can never know what's going to happen next.

  • I don't think anyone really knows what's going on.

  • As a family man, I saw the meaning of happiness for all my family members.

  • The future, the past, the present, it's all a gift.

  • The future's really scary.

  • I don't really feel confident.

  • Would I be here?

  • I'd say sad.

  • Only because there's a lot of things that I benefit from in this world that a lot of people don't benefit from.

  • It's a surprise.

  • The world's biggest good is the monster, mostly.

  • But we all try to find our seven to hold on to.

  • Love everyone that you can.

  • Just go find someone and infuse them with your love.

  • You know, the people that you spend it with.

  • Just live life, and not just exist.

  • Just believe in it, and you never know what's going to happen.

  • Because existing is just waking up, going to work.

  • We live and we die.

  • That's what happens.

  • You're going to do great things, man.

  • Seriously.

  • I believe in you.

  • Embrace it.

  • Embrace every moment of it.

  • You live in terror of not being misunderstood.

  • I'm always here.

  • Always.

  • And all of a sudden, in a moment of complete, absurd randomness...

  • Smile!

  • Hug him!

  • Hug him!

  • Words.

  • It's going to happen.

  • There's clarity.

  • Today, I have water coming.

  • Hey John, look at the camera.

  • No.
