[first lines; we hear knocking on a door and then Andrew, in his bedroom, positions his video camera on a tripod, facing it at a mirror] Andrew Detmer: What do you want? Richard Detmer: Why is this door locked, Andrew? Andrew Detmer: I'm getting ready for school. Richard Detmer: Open this door, Andrew? Listen to me. Andrew Detmer: No, you're drunk. Richard Detmer: I'm what? Excuse me? I said, unlock the door. Andrew? Andrew Detmer: Dad, it is seven thirty in the a.m. and you are drunk. Richard Detmer: You don't tell me if I'm drunk or not, you little shit! Andrew Detmer: Aren't you? Richard Detmer: What are you doing in there? Huh? [Andrew's father bangs the door] Andrew Detmer: I'm filming this. Richard Detmer: Huh? What? Andrew Detmer: I bought a camera and I'm filming everything from here on out. [we hear footsteps as Andrew's father walks away]
[Andrew points his camera at his terminally ill mother] Andrew Detmer: Mom? Mom? [his mother opens her eyes and smiles as Andrew films her] Andrew Detmer: Hey! Say hello to my new camera for me. Karen Detmer: Who's the audience? Andrew Detmer: Just the millions of people that are watching at home. Karen Detmer: Do I look awful? Andrew Detmer: No, no. Mom, you look...you look great. Karen Detmer: It's a nice camera. Andrew Detmer: Oh, thanks, mom.
[Andrew films his cousin Matt, as drives Andrew to school] Matt Garetty: So uh...should I ask about the camera or...? Andrew Detmer: I don't know. Um...I'm filming things now. I'm filming everything. Matt Garetty: Filming everything? Andrew Detmer: Yeah. Matt Garetty: Okay.
[Andrew continues to film Matt as he's driving them to school] Matt Garetty: Have you ever read any Arthur Schopenhauer? Andrew Detmer: No. What is Arthur Schopenhauer? Matt Garetty: He's um...he's a philosopher that I'm reading at the moment. Andrew Detmer: For school? Matt Garetty: No. No. Uh...basically human beings have to recognize themselves as beings of pure will, right? Andrew Detmer: Okay. Matt Garetty: So, all emotional and physical desires can never be fulfilled. Andrew Detmer: So, basically you're telling me that I should give up on life. Matt Garetty: Yes. [they both laugh]
[as Matt drives up to the school parking lot and parks his car] Andrew Detmer: Are you not coming in? Matt Garetty: I'm gonna hang back a while, okay? Andrew Detmer: Uh...you're gonna be late for first period. Matt Garetty: Yeah. I'll pick you up after seven.
[Andrew films the hallways as he walks to class] Andrew Detmer: This is my school, I guess.
[Andrew films the football field] Andrew Detmer: This is where I eat lunch, out here on the bleachers. [as he sits down to eat his lunch he positions his camera behind him, filming the cheerleaders practicing, one of the cheerleaders walks up to Andrew] Cheerleader: Hi. Andrew Detmer: Hey. Cheerleader: Could you not video tape us, please? It's really creepy. Andrew Detmer: Uh...no, I wasn't...
Andrew Detmer: This is the hallway where my locker is. [suddenly a bully wrestles the camera away from Andrew] Sean: Woh! What is this? Huh? What's on television? [Sean turns the camera around and we see Andrew being held by another bully] Bully #1: Man, you're on film. Turn to the camera. [the second bully repeatedly slaps Andrew in the face] Bully #1: You gonna cry? You gonna cry? [Sean makes fun of Andrew] Sean: Man you look pretty. [the second bully continues to slap Andrew] Bully #1: You gonna cry?
[Sean is still filming Andrew after taking his camera away from him] Andrew Detmer: Sean, come on. Give it back? Sean: Huh? You want your camera? Piece of shit from like 2004? [he drops Andrew's camera to the ground] Bully #1: Here you go. Here she is. In on piece. [he kicks the camera towards Andrew nearly knocking it into the lockers] Andrew Detmer: Woh! Guys! Bully #1: Almost. [Sean laughs] Andrew Detmer: Assholes!
[Andrew films Matt as he drives him home from school] Matt Garetty: There's a party tonight. Andrew Detmer: That's okay. Matt Garetty: Haven Hills. Andrew Detmer: Wait, I thought Haven Hills was closed. Matt Garetty: It's abandoned, yeah. What, you don't wanna go? Andrew Detmer: No. Matt Garetty: When was the last time you went to a party? Andrew Detmer: I don't go to parties. Matt Garetty: You are a senior. Andrew Detmer: I don't want to go to the party. Matt Garetty: You are a senior! Just come. Andrew Detmer: I'll think about it, okay? Matt Garetty: Okay. But when we go tonight, Andrew, can I give you like a pro-tip? Andrew Detmer: What? Matt Garetty: Maybe leave your camera at home. Andrew Detmer: Why? Matt Garetty: Because, it's a little weird. Andrew Detmer: It serves a purpose. Matt Garetty: I'm...I'm just trying to be a good cousin here. Okay? This is me being a friend, and telling you should probably not take the camera to a party. Andrew Detmer: Okay.
[in his bedroom, Andrew is watching the footage he'd filmed earlier in the day when his father walks into his room] Andrew Detmer: What do you want? [suddenly Andrew's father grabs him, hits him and throws him to the floor] Richard Detmer: When I say open that door, you open the door. You got it? Finish your Goddamn homework!
[as Matt drives towards where the party is being held] Andrew Detmer: Wow, look! A rave! Matt Garetty: Oh wow, look! A nerd with a camera!
[Andrew is filming them walking into the party] Matt Garetty: Just stop following me around all night, okay? Andrew Detmer: What do you mean? I thought...I thought you wanted me to come with you? Matt Garetty: I did. I did. But just go and do your own thing for once, okay? Just have a beer, talk to people. Andrew Detmer: I don't drink.
[as Andrew films the crowd of party-goers he spots another student filming the crowd, at which point she also spots him] Casey Letter: Hey! What are you filming for? Andrew Detmer: Uh...I...Uh...! Casey Letter: What? Andrew Detmer: I'm just... Casey Letter: I can't hear you! Andrew Detmer: I'm just filming. Casey Letter: Oh, cool! Cool! I'm filming for my blog. Andrew Detmer: Oh! Casey Letter: You should check it out. It's actually...
[as Matt interrupts Andrew's conversation with Casey] Matt Garetty: This is pretty lame, right? Casey Letter: Why is it lame? [she points her camera at Matt and we also see the footage from her camera] Matt Garetty: You know, Jung said parties are just people's way of seeking widespread validation. I'm not one to clamber to be cool, you know? Casey Letter: [sarcastically] Wow! Way to put it in analytical psychology spin on this barn party, Matt. That's awesome. Awesome. [Casey turns and walks away] Matt Garetty: You're awesome. Andrew Detmer: Hey, Matt? Hey, what did Jung say glow sticks? [Matt gives Andrew the finger and walks off]
[Andrew retreats outside and silently cries after he'd been spat on by a guy at the party for filming his girlfriend dancing] Steve Montgomery: Andrew! Andrew, with the camera. Can we...can we use that thing? Andrew Detmer: What? Steve Montgomery: We found the craziest shit and we gotta get it on tape. Andrew Detmer: Uh...it's not Steve Montgomery: What's up, man? You okay? Andrew Detmer: Yeah, I'm...I'm Andrew. Steve Montgomery: Okay. I'm Steve. [he hold out is hand to shake with Andrew] Steve Montgomery: Steve Montgomery. Andrew Detmer: Yeah, I know. Steve Montgomery: Really?
Steve Montgomery: Matt and I were just hanging out and we found this cool little...this thing. Andrew Detmer: Wait, you're with Matt? Steve Montgomery: You might wanna... Andrew Detmer: No, I just Steve Montgomery: You might wanna get this on tape. Andrew Detmer: No, I don't really... Steve Montgomery: Dude, just come on. Just come get it on tape. It'll be cool. Andrew Detmer: I don't know. Steve Montgomery: Trust me. Andrew Detmer: Alright. Steve Montgomery: Yeah, man.
[Andrew films as he follows Steve into the woods] Steve Montgomery: You know there are like tons of girls around here, right? And you're all by yourself, next to a tree. Andrew Detmer: I'm just really picky.
[Andrew continues filming Steve as they walk into the woods] Andrew Detmer: What were you guys doing out here? Steve Montgomery: Bunch of people were out here, cause we were like obsessed with the thing. Andrew Detmer: What thing? Steve Montgomery: You'll see. [they continue to walk into the woods] Steve Montgomery: Ah, that's right! Andrew Detmer! I remember you from home in freshman year, you always had that grey zip-up hoodie. [Steve calls out to Matt] Andrew Detmer: You remember that? Steve Montgomery: Yeah. I got...I got a thing for faces, which is why I'm going into politics.
[Steve finds Andrew, and calls out to him] Andrew Detmer: Guys, what is that? [Matt is standing next to a mysterious crater in the earth] Matt Garetty: Do you see it? Is that the camera? Steve Montgomery: Yeah! I got him! Andrew Detmer: Do you guys know how to get back from here?
[as they get close to the crater, Steve jokes around] Steve Montgomery: Andrew, what's making that sound? [Steve and Matt lie down next to the crater to listen to the sounds that are echoing from the crater] Matt Garetty: Come here. Listen to this. Listen to this. [Andrew hesitates close to the crater] Steve Montgomery: No! No! No! You gotta get in! You gotta literally...almost...! Andrew Detmer: Okay. Don't push me! Matt Garetty: We're not gonna push you in. Were just trying to get in on camera. Steve Montgomery: Listen. [Andrew gets closer to the crater and point the camera down the hole] Matt Garetty: Listen. Can you hear that? Andrew Detmer: What...? [suddenly they hear a loud screeching noise coming from the crater] Steve Montgomery: Wait! How creepy is that?
[as the screeching noise continues to echo through the crater] Matt Garetty: Is the sound coming up? Andrew Detmer: I don't know. I mean, probably. It is pretty loud, right? [Matt shouts down the crater] Matt Garetty: Hello? Steve Montgomery: Alright, dude. We're going inside. Andrew Detmer: I'm going back. Come on, you guys. Steve Montgomery: I gotta know, man. I gotta know. Andrew Detmer: Matt, seriously? [suddenly Steve jumps into the crater] Andrew Detmer: Wait! Hey! Steve! [Matt laughs as Steve shouts his own name] Matt Garetty: Oh, shit! He's a ninja. Andrew Detmer: Matt! [suddenly Matt attempts to climb down the crater] Andrew Detmer: Woh! Matt! Matt! Matt! What are you doing? Are you serious? Matt Garetty: Hey, dude, can you give us some light? Andrew Detmer: Matt, don't be an idiot! [Matt jumps down the crater and disappears] Andrew Detmer: Matt, you're my ride home!
[Andrew films as the three go deeper into the circular tunnel] Andrew Detmer: Does it go down much deeper, or what? Steve Montgomery: Yeah, man. It goes really really far. Matt Garetty: Andrew, bring the light. Look at the walls, it's like a straight shot down. We've probably already come, like, forty or five feet. Andrew Detmer: Yeah, just don't talk about it. Okay? Matt Garetty: You ever heard of Plato's Allegory of the Cave? Andrew Detmer: I don't know, Matt. Let's just get this over with.
[at the end of the tunnel they reach a cavern and at it's center is a mysterious giant crystal] Steve Montgomery: Holy shit! Matt Garetty: What the hell is that? Andrew Detmer: Matt, I'm not kidding. I can't breathe. Matt Garetty: Look at this! Andrew Detmer: What the...? Matt Garetty: Can you believe this? Andrew Detmer: Matt! What am I looking at? [the crystal glows electric blue and suddenly the screeching noise becomes louder] Steve Montgomery: Ah! Shit! Andrew Detmer: I'm freaking out right now! Matt! Can we get out of here, please?! Matt Garetty: It is showing up on the camera like that? Andrew Detmer: I don't know, Matt! It's messing with it, I don't really wanna film... Matt Garetty: Dude, I'll buy you a new one.
[Andrew film Steve standing close a protruding object sticking out of the crystal] Andrew Detmer: Matt! Matt, look at this! Matt Garetty: What? Andrew Detmer: Look at this! Matt Garetty: Dude, what is...? Woh! [Steve touches the object and it turns red] Andrew Detmer: Dude, no way! [Matt says something but the there's interference noise on the camera] Andrew Detmer: I can't here you! Steve Montgomery: This is awesome! [suddenly Steve's nose starts to bleed] Andrew Detmer: Dude, your nose! [Matt and Andrew shout as Steve collapses, the camera then fizzles and amidst the sound of commotion it cuts to black]
[we see Andrew filming Steve and Matt instructing them where to stand] Andrew Detmer: Matt, dude, put your phone down. Turn it off! Matt Garetty: Okay. Okay. Okay. Andrew Detmer: Right, Steve, you too. Alright? We have to document this. Okay? Are you guys ready? Steve Montgomery: Yeah, alright. Andrew Detmer: Alright, here we go. Okay, Steve, can you move to your left? Steve Montgomery: Here? Andrew Detmer: Um...yeah, that's good. And then Matt, can you just go right in front of Steve? Matt Garetty: Here? Andrew Detmer: Um...yeah, perfect. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, this is the ball test. Steve Montgomery: Ready? Matt Garetty: Yeah. [Steve throws the baseball in his hand at Matt and hits him the face, Steve laughs as Matt is hurt and angry, we then see various footage of Matt and Steve pitching baseball at one another in air-bending ways]
[Steve gets behind the camera as Matt throws the baseball at Andrew and Andrew stops the ball mid-air with his mind] Steve Montgomery: That is crazy! Matt Garetty: Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Steve Montgomery: Holy sh...! [suddenly Andrew's nose starts to bleed] Matt Garetty: Oh, my God. Oh, dude, you're bleeding. You're bleeding Andrew Detmer: Shit. Steve Montgomery: Stop! Stop! Stop! Get a tissue. Matt Garetty: You did it! Yes!
[Matt is behind the camera filming as Steve listens to the angry voice message his girlfriend left him] Steve Montgomery: I'm gonna get a brick through my window. I am legitimately scared. I have an election coming up and I don't have time for this. Matt Garetty: Dude, why are you asking us for advice on girls? Andrew Detmer: Because we're his mistress. [they all laugh]
[Andrew films as Matt is driving] Andrew Detmer: So, what? You think it's like radiation or something? Steve Montgomery: Radiation from what? Matt Garetty: Dude, it's the government. Steve Montgomery: What? Matt, what are you talking about? Andrew Detmer: I'm feeling pretty splunked out, actually. Steve Montgomery: Andrew, relax.
[Andrew films the barn where the party took place that night of the crater discovery] Matt Garetty: That's so weird. It looks completely different during the day. [films skips to show them walking in the woods towards the crater again] Andrew Detmer: Look, I don't care. I am not going in the hole again. [suddenly Steve turns and jumps towards Andrew to scare him] Andrew Detmer: Asshole. [they find the crater and find that it's caved in] Matt Garetty: It's like sunk in or something. Steve Montgomery: There goes your old camera, dude. Andrew Detmer: Oh, shit.
[they get close to the caved in crater and Steve touches the dirt on top of the crater] Steve Montgomery: It's weird, I can still feel it down there. Andrew Detmer: I can't believe we made it out of there. Steve Montgomery: Whoa! I mean, that answers that, right? Andrew Detmer: Um...what does? We still don't know what happened? Steve Montgomery: We're still alive. Matt Garetty: I mean, I was definitely... [they get interrupted by a park ranger] Park Ranger: Hey! You guys can't be here, okay? You gotta move on out. Matt Garetty: What? Park Ranger: Ground's unstable. We're taping the whole place off. [they turn and leave]
[Andrew films Steve as he drives him home] Steve Montgomery: New camera's working out for you, it's good? Andrew Detmer: Yeah, it's pretty cool Steve Montgomery: Yeah, it's smaller, doesn't shoot on tape. Andrew Detmer: No, it just like records right onto the camera. You know, I just wanna record all this stuff that we can don. You know? Steve Montgomery: Yeah, but it's like all the time. You don't feel like it's a little weird? Like it puts a barrier between you and everything else? Andrew Detmer: Uh...I don't know. Maybe I wanna be.
Steve Montgomery: So, like, what's up with your dad? What's his story? What does he do? Andrew Detmer: Um...my dad's a firefighter. Steve Montgomery: Okay, that's cool. Ah, man, that must have been awesome! Andrew Detmer: Yeah, he...he was, I guess. Steve Montgomery: What happened? Andrew Detmer: Uh...I don't know. He...he didn't die or anything. He just...he got injured on the job and now he um...he collects the insurance, you know? Um...so he doesn't really do anything. He just...he um...he'll go out during the day, but I don't know where he goes. Uh...he drinks a lot, I know that much.
[Andrew is on a day out with his sick mother, she takes the camera and films Andrew] Karen Detmer: Is it on? Andrew Detmer: Yep. Yeah, you got it. Karen Detmer: I wanna remember you like this. Andrew Detmer: Oh, mom. Karen Detmer: You're stronger than this. Can you say that for me? Please? Andrew Detmer: I'm stronger than this.
[Andrew is filming Matt as he uses his telekinesis power to throw a rock into the river] Steve Montgomery: Oh, nice. Matt Garetty: Alright. Here, watch this. [using his power he throws another rock into the water] Steve Montgomery: Weak. Andrew Detmer: Hey, Matt. Matt Garetty: Yeah? Andrew Detmer: Do you like me? Matt Garetty: Um...yeah, of course. I mean, you know, I...I didn't...I mean, I didn't always. Andrew Detmer: What do you mean? Matt Garetty: I don't know. You haven't...you haven't always been super easy to talk to, you know? I mean, I'm not saying that you...you're not now. I'm just... Andrew Detmer: You're such an asshole. Matt Garetty: That's what I'm talking about, dude. You're hostile, see?
Andrew Detmer: Hey, Matt. Matt Garetty: Yeah? [referring to their newly found powers] Andrew Detmer: Do you ever think about, like, doing more with it? Matt Garetty: What with this? Not really. Why? What else is there?
[Steve is reading the meaning of telekinesis from his cell phone] Steve Montgomery: Telekinesis. Matt Garetty: Yes, do tell. Steve Montgomery: The ability to move, lift, vibrate... [Matt and Steve laugh] Steve Montgomery: That's my favorite. [Steve continues to read the description of telekinesis] Steve Montgomery: Spin, bend, break or impact objects through the direct influence of mental power or other non-physical means. Andrew Detmer: Sounds familiar. Matt Garetty: It does sound familiar. Steve Montgomery: Very familiar.
[footage shows them on the bleachers at the football field discussing their powers] Matt Garetty: This is my theory though, is that it's like a muscle. Like it's elastic, if you stretch it too far too quick, it'll tare. That's why I think we're getting stronger, you know? Cause we're working it out. Getting buff. Steve Montgomery: Buff. How about this for a workout? [Steve holds a tube of potato chips and uses his power to lift the chips one by one into his mouth] Matt Garetty: Oh, shit! That was awesome. [Steve burps] Matt Garetty: Classy. Steve Montgomery: Mmhmm. Attractive. Andrew Detmer: I think it's time we took this out of the backyard.
[after Andrew tries to stab Matt with a fork and the fork just gets bent when it hits Matt] Andrew Detmer: Just pretend that there's a barrier over your hand, alright? And then when things are gonna hit you, as long as you're ready, they will not hurt you because of the barrier.
[the three are standing in the parking lot of a toy store] Steve Montgomery: That is disgusting. Matt Garetty: But do you guys share cups in the team? Steve Montgomery: No, we don't share cups. You see that car though? The red one. Matt Garetty: Yeah. [referring to the Matt's failed attempt to pull the gum out of the a shopper's mouth] Steve Montgomery: Alright. The gum was cool, alright? You tried. It was a failed attempt though. Watch this. Matt Garetty: What are you doing? Steve Montgomery: Watch. Matt Garetty: Go. Go. Go. [Steve stands closer to the red car and using his power he moves the car around the parking lot and parks it in a different spot] Matt Garetty: What? Oh, no way! Holy shit! Dude!
[footage of them returning home from the store with Matt driving] Matt Garetty: How did nobody see that? It was out in the open. Andrew Detmer: Her face! I cannot get her face out of my mind! Steve Montgomery: That was awesome! Man, this give me so many ideas for stuff that we can do.
[referring to the aggressive driver tailgating them in his Bronco] Matt Garetty: Go around. Steve Montgomery: Ah, it's just some redneck assholes. Andrew Detmer: Steve! Steve! Steve! Take the camera. Take the camera. [Steve takes the camera and turns it to show Andrew in the back sit turning to look at the truck tailgating behind them] Andrew Detmer: Alright, just make sure it's zoomed out a little. Steve Montgomery: Gotcha, I can see you. [the truck keeps tailgating them and honking his horn] Matt Garetty: Okay, buddy. Steve Montgomery: What you gonna do? Matt Garetty: What the hell is this guy's problem? Steve Montgomery: What are you doin'? Andrew Detmer: Abracadabra. [Andrew uses his power and accidently sends the truck crashing into the lake] Steve Montgomery: Woh! Woh! Woh! Andrew! Matt Garetty: Shit! Steve Montgomery: What the hell did you just do? Matt, stop the car! Stop! Stop! Matt Garetty: Are you crazy?! Steve Montgomery: Pull down the road. We gotta go down there, right now! Andrew Detmer: You guys! I'm sorry!
[the three of them go down to the lake where the truck has crashed and overturned] Matt Garetty: What did you do? Why did you do that? Andrew Detmer: I...I didn't mean to! I didn't...! Matt Garetty: What the hell is wrong with you?! Look at this! Andrew Detmer: Will you just calm down! Matt Garetty: They're probably still in there! Andrew Detmer: I'm sorry, okay? [Andrew uses his power to movie truck slowly out of the water] Matt Garetty: Andrew! Stop! Stop! Andrew Detmer: I can help! I can get them out! Matt Garetty: Stop doing things! [suddenly Steve dives into the lake and swims towards the overturned truck] Matt Garetty: Steve! Steve! Steve, be careful! Shit! Shit! Oh, my God! Andrew! Are you kiddin' me? [Matt dives into the lake and helps Steve pull the truck driver out of the water and Matt calls the police]
[later that night Matt grills Andrew about the accident] Matt Garetty: Is this a game or something? Andrew Detmer: I don't understand how you guys can be so angry. Matt Garetty: You don't understand how we could be angry? Andrew, you...you put somebody in the hospital tonight. Okay? Do you understand that? [Andrew doesn't reply] Matt Garetty: Andrew, look at me! You put a guy in the hospital! How do you feel about that? You hurt somebody! We need rules, okay? Rule number one; no using it on living things. Rule number two; you can't use it when you're angry. That's it! Rule number three; I don't think we should be using it in public, or telling anybody about it. Okay? Andrew Detmer: You can't just declare rules. Matt Garetty: I will declare rules, when you do something... Andrew Detmer: You're the one that said nothing matters. Matt Garetty: I will declare rules. If we're gonna keep going and we're getting stronger, we need rules. [turning to Steve, who's been quite and pacing around them] Matt Garetty: We need rules, right? Steve Montgomery: Matt's right, we need rules.
[in Matt's car as he drives them to meet Steve] Andrew Detmer: Matt, what did he say? [Matt doesn't reply] Andrew Detmer: Are you still mad at me? Matt Garetty: No, I'm not mad. Andrew Detmer: Well, you seem mad. Matt Garetty: I'm not mad, I just...I just think that we need to be more careful now, you know? We can't...we have to think a little bit more. We can't just do things, we have to think first. Okay? Andrew Detmer: I understand. Matt Garetty: Okay.
[they arrive at an old mill and spot Steve's car but don't see Steve] Matt Garetty: Why is Steve out in the boonies? Andrew Detmer: Where are we? Matt Garetty: Steve! Andrew Detmer: His car's right there. Matt Garetty: Yeah. [shouts out] Matt Garetty: Steve, where are you at? Andrew Detmer: Steve? [Matt gets a text message from Steve and reads it] Matt Garetty: Look up. [they look up and see Steve floating twenty feet above the ground] Steve Montgomery: Hello, boys! Matt Garetty: What? What is up?
[as the other two look in shock at Steve floating above them] Steve Montgomery: Here me out! Here me out! Matt Garetty: What are you doing? Steve Montgomery: It's...it's much easier than it looks, I swear. It's much easier than it looks. Matt Garetty: Oh, my God, dud!
[Steve gives instructions to Matt as he attempts to fly] Steve Montgomery: Make sure you catch yourself, and don't try and jump. Matt Garetty: I got it! I got it! Steve Montgomery: Flip yourself. Andrew Detmer: Come on, Matt. Come on. [Matt tries to fly, but is unsuccessful and just lands straight onto the dirt on the ground] Matt Garetty: Oh, shit! [Steve and Andrew laugh] Andrew Detmer: Oh, man! In dirt, man. Matt Garetty: Get behind me, you're in my way. Andrew Detmer: What do you mean, I was in your way?
[Matt is behind the camera filming Andrew as he learns to fly] Matt Garetty: Is that your focus face? Andrew Detmer: Oh, my God, dude! Wooh! [Andrew starts to float up] Matt Garetty: Bullshit! Are you kidding me? Andrew Detmer: Holy crap! Steve Montgomery: Hold it! Andrew Detmer: Oh, my God, dude! Steve Montgomery: Hold it! Andrew Detmer: I'm doing it! Matt Garetty: Holy crape, dude! Andrew Detmer: I am doing it! Aah! Steve Montgomery: Yeah! You're doing it! Andrew Detmer: Okay! Wooh! Matt Garetty: Andrew, don't fart, we'll never find you again. [Andrew floats up next to Steve] Andrew Detmer: Steve, stop me! Stop me! Matt Garetty: Oh, my God! Steve Montgomery: You are flying! Matt Garetty: You guys look so cute together. I'm coming up. I'm bringing the camera, okay? Alright. Andrew Detmer: Alright, how do we get down?
[after the the three are fooling around flying, the three plummet to the ground when an airplane nearly slams into Steve] Steve Montgomery: We have broken history! I mean, I'm talking about since the caveman time! Uh...uh...or the Egyptians! The Wright brothers! [Steve pulls in Matt in front of the camera] Steve Montgomery: Come here! Come here! Get in here! Get in here! Say it, 'I can fly.' Matt Garetty: I can fly. Steve Montgomery: I can fly! Andrew Detmer: Oh, come on. Steve Montgomery: Come on, stay it with your chest. Matt Garetty: I can fly! Andrew Detmer: Say it, Matt! [Steve and Matt both shout loud] Steve Montgomery: I can fly! Matt Garetty: I can fly! I can fly!
[fooling around at Steve's place] Matt Garetty: I tried to save you, man! Andrew was just quicker. Steve Montgomery: How does that go again? Andrew Detmer: You almost died! Steve Montgomery: Oh, please.
[referring to Steve's girlfriend] Matt Garetty: How does she not notice though? Steve Montgomery: I mean, come on. Let's be serious guys. She definitely noticed that it's gotten better. You just gotta be, you know? Matt Garetty: Yeah? Steve Montgomery: You gotta be...you gotta be subtle. Andrew Detmer: Woh, that is so cool! Matt Garetty: Dude, I haven't had sex since summer. Andrew Detmer: I haven't had sex since ever! Matt Garetty: Oh, really? Steve Montgomery: That is completely unacceptable. How are you guys so cool? How are you guys so cool, man? Matt Garetty: Liquid Nitrogen. [they all laugh]
[as they all fall asleep, Andrew's camera floats up] Matt Garetty: Hey, guys? Guys? You guys up? Andrew Detmer: Yeah. Matt Garetty: I um...today was like, it was like...I think the best day of my life. Like, I mean, I'm...I'm thinking about it and I can't...I can't think of any day that I liked better than today. You know? I really...I think it was. Andrew Detmer: Yeah. Steve Montgomery: Unanimous. Andrew Detmer: Yes. Matt Garetty: Okay.
[the three are studying in the school library] Steve Montgomery: Okay. Check this out, right? Say what you want, but I'm thinking about booking at Malibu for the weekend. What's up with that? Matt Garetty: Seriously? Andrew Detmer: Well we could do it. I mean, I was thinking of the same thing, except I've always wanted to go to Tibet. Matt Garetty: Why Tibet? Steve Montgomery: Tibet? Andrew Detmer: Yeah. I don't know, it...it seems really beautiful, you know? With all the like... [Matt starts doing the Tibetan chant loudly and Andrew tries to stop him by putting his hand over his mouth]
[referring to Tibet] Andrew Detmer: The monuments and mountains, you know? I don't know. And the...the monks have achieved such a high level of enlightenment that they can like, they can like float and shit, you know? So we could fit right in. Matt Garetty: We could really mess with their heads as well. [Steve and Matt laugh] Andrew Detmer: Yeah. But like, seriously, okay? I think we should go. It would be really cool. Peaceful. Matt Garetty: No, I think it's a really good idea. I actually would like to go. I'm down. Are you down, Steve? Steve Montgomery: Well, I...I don't know, man. There's no bikini's in Tibet, so I don't know if I'm down for that.
[as they sit on top of a building and Andrew is controlling the camera by using his power] Steve Montgomery: Dude, when did you start doing this? Like since when? Andrew Detmer: What, with the camera? Steve Montgomery: Yes, with the camera. Andrew Detmer: Um...I don't know. It's been little while, I guess. Steve Montgomery: See, Oh my... I can't do that. I can't do stuff that requires finesse. I tried to type my name out yesterday and I cracked my keyboard in half. Andrew Detmer: No, dude. It's really easy. You just, okay, you think that you're holding it.
Andrew Detmer: See it's different, cause you've always had friends. And...and people wanna talk to you and be around you. I never had any of that. I mean, before this, I barely even hung out with Matt, and he's my cousin. We were close when we were little. But, I don't know, in high school everything changed. Steve Montgomery: You know, I've been meaning to ask you. Winter break is coming up, you should go to talent show with me. Andrew Detmer: No way. Steve Montgomery: Why not? It'll be good for you to get out there, you know? Meet some people. Meet some girls. Andrew Detmer: No. No. It's just not... Steve Montgomery: What? Andrew Detmer: Look, I'm just really shy. Okay? And I don't...I mean, I don't even really have any talents, so? Steve Montgomery: What are you talking about? You don't have talent? You have talent. You've got talent. [Steve looks at the camera which Andrew controlling by using his powers] Andrew Detmer: Oh, dude. No way!
[after the talent show, Matt is driving them to the after-party] Matt Garetty: Oh, my God! I can see you're head is like exploding right now. Andrew Detmer: What? Matt Garetty: This is the beginning of your downfall. Hubris, right there. Andrew Detmer: What's hubris? Matt Garetty: Ha-ha-ha! Andrew Detmer: No! What does hubris mean, Matt? Matt Garetty: Seriously? Andrew Detmer: What does seriously mean? Matt Garetty: What? I'm...
[Steve films as he walks into the bedroom after Monica had stormed out] Steve Montgomery: Drew! Drew! It's okay, man. Don't worry about it. Look, it happens to the best of us, okay? You just had a little too much to drink. [inside, Andrew is sat on the bed with his pants around his ankles and puke on his jacket] Steve Montgomery: Oh, woh! Buddy! What's goin' on, dude? [Andrew quickly pulls his pants up] Andrew Detmer: Why are you laughing? Steve Montgomery: Oh, man! All on my jacket! Andrew Detmer: Stop! Stop laughing! Steve Montgomery: What are you talkin' about? It's cool, man. It's cool. Andrew Detmer: No, it's not cool! Steve, stop. Steve Montgomery: Stop what? It's cool, man. Andrew Detmer: Will you just get out of here! Get out! Steve Montgomery: Drew! Drew! Andrew Detmer: What's your problem? You think this is funny? Steve Montgomery: No! No! I'm not laughing. Andrew Detmer: Get out!
[at Steve's funeral Matt watches Andrew suspiciously and Andrew walks off filming graves] Matt Garetty: What are you doing? You filming graves? I don't get it. Andrew Detmer: What do you care? Matt Garetty: You haven't been returning my calls. Why aren't you returning my calls? Andrew Detmer: I've been busy. Matt Garetty: No, you haven't. Why aren't you returning my calls? Andrew Detmer: I just don't feel like talking. Matt Garetty: Turn off the camera. Andrew Detmer: No. Matt Garetty: Andrew. Andrew, turn off the camera. [Andrew turns his camera away and starts to walks off]
[referring to Steve's death] Matt Garetty: Andrew, how did he get struck by lightning during a storm with no recorded lightning strikes? How? And they found Steve out in the middle of a field. Why would Steve go out in the middle of a field during a lightning storm, Andrew? Andrew Detmer: I don't why. Matt Garetty: What? What?! Andrew Detmer: I don't know what happened, Matt! Matt Garetty: I don't believe you, okay? I don't believe you. I want you to turn off the camera and talk to me. Andrew Detmer: No! Why? Matt Garetty: Because, I wanna have a conversation with you, okay? Andrew Detmer: Don't tell me what do, Matt. Matt Garetty: Just turn off the camera. Andrew Detmer: Don't tell me what to do, Matt. [Matt walks towards Andrew and tries to take the camera off Andrew] Matt Garetty: Turn it off! Andrew Detmer: Don't you ever tell me...! Matt Garetty: Just give me... [Andrew uses his power to make the camera float above them] Matt Garetty: Andrew, are you joking right now? Is this...is this a joke to you?
[Andrew is at Steve's grave, crying and filming all the flowers laid on his grave] Andrew Detmer: Please believe me, Steve! Please! It's just I...I don't know what I did. I lost control and...and I'm so sorry. This thing is just becoming a part of me now, and I don't... I miss you, Steve.
[in School Andrew gets bullied again by Wayne and and uses his power to pull out Wayne's teeth, he goes into the bathroom and talks into the camera and showing off the teeth] Andrew Detmer: Okay. So, see this one here? This one I got really clean, cause I did this little, like, lasso thing around the root, you know? But then these two, these I did not get as good. [he holds up the other two teeth in front of the camera] Andrew Detmer: See how they're broken? I think it's because I got 'em from the middle, you know, instead of the root.
[Andrew is at impound yard talking into a camera] Andrew Detmer: I've been doing a lot of reading, like online, about like...like, just like evolution and like natural selection. And how like there's this thing, right? It is called the apex predator, right? And basically what this is, is the strongest animal in eco-system, right? And...and as human beings we are...we're considered the apex predator, but only because, like...like smaller animals can't feed on us, because of weapons and stuff, right? A lion does not feel guilty when it kills a giselle. Right? You do not feel guilty when you squash a fly. And I think that means something. I just think that really means something. [he then uses his power to crush the car behind him]
[after Matt stops Andrew from killing Richard, he and Casey try to get away but Andrew uses his power to lift their car and send it flying across the Space Needle, Matt flies Casey to safety and goes back to Andrew who's floating by the Space Needle causing havoc] Matt Garetty: Andrew! Andrew! Look at me! This has to stop, right now! This is really really bad! Andrew Detmer: Why did you catch him? Matt Garetty: Listen! Just focus, okay? Andrew Detmer: I dropped him! Why did you catch him? Matt Garetty: Andrew, this is not a game! Do you understand? You're hurting people! Andrew Detmer: You're weak, Matt! You're all weak! Matt Garetty: Andrew! Andrew Detmer: I'm stronger than all of this! Matt Garetty: Andrew, listen to me. Okay? Just...just...I need you to listen! Just focus for a second! Andrew Detmer: Do not tell me what to do!

Andrew Detmer: What do you want?
Richard Detmer: Why is this door locked, Andrew?
Andrew Detmer: I'm getting ready for school.
Richard Detmer: Open this door, Andrew? Listen to me.
Andrew Detmer: No, you're drunk.
Richard Detmer: I'm what? Excuse me? I said, unlock the door. Andrew?
Andrew Detmer: Dad, it is seven thirty in the a.m. and you are drunk.
Richard Detmer: You don't tell me if I'm drunk or not, you little shit!

Andrew Detmer: Hey! Say hello to my new camera for me.
Karen Detmer: Who's the audience?
Andrew Detmer: Just the millions of people that are watching at home.
Karen Detmer: Do I look awful?
Andrew Detmer: No, no. Mom, you look...you look great.
Karen Detmer: It's a nice camera.
Andrew Detmer: Oh, thanks, mom.
[Andrew films his cousin Matt, as drives Andrew to school]

Matt Garetty: Filming everything?
Andrew Detmer: Yeah.
Matt Garetty: Okay.
[Andrew continues to film Matt as he's driving them to school]
Matt Garetty: Have you ever read any Arthur Schopenhauer?
Andrew Detmer: No. What is Arthur Schopenhauer?
Matt Garetty: He's um...he's a philosopher that I'm reading at the moment.
Andrew Detmer: For school?
Matt Garetty: No. No. Uh...basically human beings have to recognize themselves as beings of pure will, right?
Andrew Detmer: Okay.
Matt Garetty: So, all emotional and physical desires can never be fulfilled.
Andrew Detmer: So, basically you're telling me that I should give up on life.
Matt Garetty: Yes.
[they both laugh]
[as Matt drives up to the school parking lot and parks his car]
Andrew Detmer: Are you not coming in?
Matt Garetty: I'm gonna hang back a while, okay?
Andrew Detmer: Uh...you're gonna be late for first period.
Matt Garetty: Yeah. I'll pick you up after seven.
[Andrew films the hallways as he walks to class]
Andrew Detmer: This is my school, I guess.
[Andrew films the football field]
Andrew Detmer: This is where I eat lunch, out here on the bleachers.
[as he sits down to eat his lunch he positions his camera behind him, filming the cheerleaders practicing, one of the cheerleaders walks up to Andrew]
Cheerleader: Hi.
Andrew Detmer: Hey.
Cheerleader: Could you not video tape us, please? It's really creepy.
Andrew Detmer: Uh...no, I wasn't...
Andrew Detmer: This is the hallway where my locker is.
[suddenly a bully wrestles the camera away from Andrew]
Sean: Woh! What is this? Huh? What's on television?
[Sean turns the camera around and we see Andrew being held by another bully]
Bully #1: Man, you're on film. Turn to the camera.
[the second bully repeatedly slaps Andrew in the face]
Bully #1: You gonna cry? You gonna cry?
[Sean makes fun of Andrew]
Sean: Man you look pretty.
[the second bully continues to slap Andrew]
Bully #1: You gonna cry?
[Sean is still filming Andrew after taking his camera away from him]
Andrew Detmer: Sean, come on. Give it back?
Sean: Huh? You want your camera? Piece of shit from like 2004?
[he drops Andrew's camera to the ground]
Bully #1: Here you go. Here she is. In on piece.
[he kicks the camera towards Andrew nearly knocking it into the lockers]
Andrew Detmer: Woh! Guys!
Bully #1: Almost.
[Sean laughs]
Andrew Detmer: Assholes!
[Andrew films Matt as he drives him home from school]
Matt Garetty: There's a party tonight.
Andrew Detmer: That's okay.
Matt Garetty: Haven Hills.
Andrew Detmer: Wait, I thought Haven Hills was closed.
Matt Garetty: It's abandoned, yeah. What, you don't wanna go?
Andrew Detmer: No.
Matt Garetty: When was the last time you went to a party?
Andrew Detmer: I don't go to parties.
Matt Garetty: You are a senior.
Andrew Detmer: I don't want to go to the party.
Matt Garetty: You are a senior! Just come.
Andrew Detmer: I'll think about it, okay?
Matt Garetty: Okay. But when we go tonight, Andrew, can I give you like a pro-tip?
Andrew Detmer: What?
Matt Garetty: Maybe leave your camera at home.
Andrew Detmer: Why?
Matt Garetty: Because, it's a little weird.
Andrew Detmer: It serves a purpose.
Matt Garetty: I'm...I'm just trying to be a good cousin here. Okay? This is me being a friend, and telling you should probably not take the camera to a party.
Andrew Detmer: Okay.
[in his bedroom, Andrew is watching the footage he'd filmed earlier in the day when his father walks into his room]
Andrew Detmer: What do you want?
[suddenly Andrew's father grabs him, hits him and throws him to the floor]
Richard Detmer: When I say open that door, you open the door. You got it? Finish your Goddamn homework!
[as Matt drives towards where the party is being held]
Andrew Detmer: Wow, look! A rave!
Matt Garetty: Oh wow, look! A nerd with a camera!
[Andrew is filming them walking into the party]
Matt Garetty: Just stop following me around all night, okay?
Andrew Detmer: What do you mean? I thought...I thought you wanted me to come with you?
Matt Garetty: I did. I did. But just go and do your own thing for once, okay? Just have a beer, talk to people.
Andrew Detmer: I don't drink.
[as Andrew films the crowd of party-goers he spots another student filming the crowd, at which point she also spots him]
Casey Letter: Hey! What are you filming for?
Andrew Detmer: Uh...I...Uh...!
Casey Letter: What?
Andrew Detmer: I'm just...
Casey Letter: I can't hear you!
Andrew Detmer: I'm just filming.
Casey Letter: Oh, cool! Cool! I'm filming for my blog.
Andrew Detmer: Oh!
Casey Letter: You should check it out. It's actually...
[as Matt interrupts Andrew's conversation with Casey]
Matt Garetty: This is pretty lame, right?
Casey Letter: Why is it lame?
[she points her camera at Matt and we also see the footage from her camera]
Matt Garetty: You know, Jung said parties are just people's way of seeking widespread validation. I'm not one to clamber to be cool, you know?
Casey Letter: [sarcastically] Wow! Way to put it in analytical psychology spin on this barn party, Matt. That's awesome. Awesome.
[Casey turns and walks away]
Matt Garetty: You're awesome.
Andrew Detmer: Hey, Matt? Hey, what did Jung say glow sticks?
[Matt gives Andrew the finger and walks off]
[Andrew retreats outside and silently cries after he'd been spat on by a guy at the party for filming his girlfriend dancing]
Steve Montgomery: Andrew! Andrew, with the camera. Can we...can we use that thing?
Andrew Detmer: What?
Steve Montgomery: We found the craziest shit and we gotta get it on tape.
Andrew Detmer: Uh...it's not
Steve Montgomery: What's up, man? You okay?
Andrew Detmer: Yeah, I'm...I'm Andrew.
Steve Montgomery: Okay. I'm Steve.

Andrew Detmer: No, I just
Steve Montgomery: You might wanna get this on tape.
Andrew Detmer: No, I don't really...
Steve Montgomery: Dude, just come on. Just come get it on tape. It'll be cool.
Andrew Detmer: I don't know.
Steve Montgomery: Trust me.
Andrew Detmer: Alright.
Steve Montgomery: Yeah, man.
[Andrew films as he follows Steve into the woods]
Steve Montgomery: You know there are like tons of girls around here, right? And you're all by yourself, next to a tree.
Andrew Detmer: I'm just really picky.
[Andrew continues filming Steve as they walk into the woods]
Andrew Detmer: What were you guys doing out here?
Steve Montgomery: Bunch of people were out here, cause we were like obsessed with the thing.
Andrew Detmer: What thing?
Steve Montgomery: You'll see.
[they continue to walk into the woods]
Steve Montgomery: Ah, that's right! Andrew Detmer! I remember you from home in freshman year, you always had that grey zip-up hoodie.
[Steve calls out to Matt]
Andrew Detmer: You remember that?
Steve Montgomery: Yeah. I got...I got a thing for faces, which is why I'm going into politics.
[Steve finds Andrew, and calls out to him]
Andrew Detmer: Guys, what is that?
[Matt is standing next to a mysterious crater in the earth]
Matt Garetty: Do you see it? Is that the camera?
Steve Montgomery: Yeah! I got him!
Andrew Detmer: Do you guys know how to get back from here?
[as they get close to the crater, Steve jokes around]
Steve Montgomery: Andrew, what's making that sound?
[Steve and Matt lie down next to the crater to listen to the sounds that are echoing from the crater]
Matt Garetty: Come here. Listen to this. Listen to this.
[Andrew hesitates close to the crater]
Steve Montgomery: No! No! No! You gotta get in! You gotta literally...almost...!
Andrew Detmer: Okay. Don't push me!
Matt Garetty: We're not gonna push you in. Were just trying to get in on camera.
Steve Montgomery: Listen.
[Andrew gets closer to the crater and point the camera down the hole]
Matt Garetty: Listen. Can you hear that?
Andrew Detmer: What...?
[suddenly they hear a loud screeching noise coming from the crater]
Steve Montgomery: Wait! How creepy is that?
[as the screeching noise continues to echo through the crater]
Matt Garetty: Is the sound coming up?
Andrew Detmer: I don't know. I mean, probably. It is pretty loud, right?
[Matt shouts down the crater]
Matt Garetty: Hello?
Steve Montgomery: Alright, dude. We're going inside.
Andrew Detmer: I'm going back. Come on, you guys.
Steve Montgomery: I gotta know, man. I gotta know.
Andrew Detmer: Matt, seriously?
[suddenly Steve jumps into the crater]
Andrew Detmer: Wait! Hey! Steve!
[Matt laughs as Steve shouts his own name]
Matt Garetty: Oh, shit! He's a ninja.
Andrew Detmer: Matt!
[suddenly Matt attempts to climb down the crater]
Andrew Detmer: Woh! Matt! Matt! Matt! What are you doing? Are you serious?
Matt Garetty: Hey, dude, can you give us some light?
Andrew Detmer: Matt, don't be an idiot!
[Matt jumps down the crater and disappears]
Andrew Detmer: Matt, you're my ride home!
[Andrew films as the three go deeper into the circular tunnel]
Andrew Detmer: Does it go down much deeper, or what?
Steve Montgomery: Yeah, man. It goes really really far.
Matt Garetty: Andrew, bring the light. Look at the walls, it's like a straight shot down. We've probably already come, like, forty or five feet.
Andrew Detmer: Yeah, just don't talk about it. Okay?
Matt Garetty: You ever heard of Plato's Allegory of the Cave?
Andrew Detmer: I don't know, Matt. Let's just get this over with.
[at the end of the tunnel they reach a cavern and at it's center is a mysterious giant crystal]
Steve Montgomery: Holy shit!
Matt Garetty: What the hell is that?
Andrew Detmer: Matt, I'm not kidding. I can't breathe.
Matt Garetty: Look at this!
Andrew Detmer: What the...?
Matt Garetty: Can you believe this?
Andrew Detmer: Matt! What am I looking at?
[the crystal glows electric blue and suddenly the screeching noise becomes louder]
Steve Montgomery: Ah! Shit!
Andrew Detmer: I'm freaking out right now! Matt! Can we get out of here, please?!
Matt Garetty: It is showing up on the camera like that?
Andrew Detmer: I don't know, Matt! It's messing with it, I don't really wanna film...
Matt Garetty: Dude, I'll buy you a new one.
[Andrew film Steve standing close a protruding object sticking out of the crystal]
Andrew Detmer: Matt! Matt, look at this!
Matt Garetty: What?
Andrew Detmer: Look at this!
Matt Garetty: Dude, what is...? Woh!
[Steve touches the object and it turns red]
Andrew Detmer: Dude, no way!
[Matt says something but the there's interference noise on the camera]
Andrew Detmer: I can't here you!
Steve Montgomery: This is awesome!
[suddenly Steve's nose starts to bleed]
Andrew Detmer: Dude, your nose!
[Matt and Andrew shout as Steve collapses, the camera then fizzles and amidst the sound of commotion it cuts to black]
[we see Andrew filming Steve and Matt instructing them where to stand]
Andrew Detmer: Matt, dude, put your phone down. Turn it off!
Matt Garetty: Okay. Okay. Okay.
Andrew Detmer: Right, Steve, you too. Alright? We have to document this. Okay? Are you guys ready?
Steve Montgomery: Yeah, alright.
Andrew Detmer: Alright, here we go. Okay, Steve, can you move to your left?
Steve Montgomery: Here?
Andrew Detmer: Um...yeah, that's good. And then Matt, can you just go right in front of Steve?
Matt Garetty: Here?
Andrew Detmer: Um...yeah, perfect. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, this is the ball test.
Steve Montgomery: Ready?
Matt Garetty: Yeah.
[Steve throws the baseball in his hand at Matt and hits him the face, Steve laughs as Matt is hurt and angry, we then see various footage of Matt and Steve pitching baseball at one another in air-bending ways]
[Steve gets behind the camera as Matt throws the baseball at Andrew and Andrew stops the ball mid-air with his mind]
Steve Montgomery: That is crazy!
Matt Garetty: Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Steve Montgomery: Holy sh...!
[suddenly Andrew's nose starts to bleed]
Matt Garetty: Oh, my God. Oh, dude, you're bleeding. You're bleeding
Andrew Detmer: Shit.
Steve Montgomery: Stop! Stop! Stop! Get a tissue.
Matt Garetty: You did it! Yes!
[Matt is behind the camera filming as Steve listens to the angry voice message his girlfriend left him]
Steve Montgomery: I'm gonna get a brick through my window. I am legitimately scared. I have an election coming up and I don't have time for this.
Matt Garetty: Dude, why are you asking us for advice on girls?
Andrew Detmer: Because we're his mistress.
[they all laugh]
[Andrew films as Matt is driving]
Andrew Detmer: So, what? You think it's like radiation or something?
Steve Montgomery: Radiation from what?
Matt Garetty: Dude, it's the government.
Steve Montgomery: What? Matt, what are you talking about?
Andrew Detmer: I'm feeling pretty splunked out, actually.
Steve Montgomery: Andrew, relax.
[Andrew films the barn where the party took place that night of the crater discovery]
Matt Garetty: That's so weird. It looks completely different during the day.
[films skips to show them walking in the woods towards the crater again]
Andrew Detmer: Look, I don't care. I am not going in the hole again.
[suddenly Steve turns and jumps towards Andrew to scare him]
Andrew Detmer: Asshole.
[they find the crater and find that it's caved in]
Matt Garetty: It's like sunk in or something.
Steve Montgomery: There goes your old camera, dude.
Andrew Detmer: Oh, shit.
[they get close to the caved in crater and Steve touches the dirt on top of the crater]
Steve Montgomery: It's weird, I can still feel it down there.
Andrew Detmer: I can't believe we made it out of there.
Steve Montgomery: Whoa! I mean, that answers that, right?
Andrew Detmer: Um...what does? We still don't know what happened?
Steve Montgomery: We're still alive.
Matt Garetty: I mean, I was definitely...
[they get interrupted by a park ranger]
Park Ranger: Hey! You guys can't be here, okay? You gotta move on out.
Matt Garetty: What?
Park Ranger: Ground's unstable. We're taping the whole place off.
[they turn and leave]

[Andrew films Steve as he drives him home]
Steve Montgomery: New camera's working out for you, it's good?
Andrew Detmer: Yeah, it's pretty cool
Steve Montgomery: Yeah, it's smaller, doesn't shoot on tape.
Andrew Detmer: No, it just like records right onto the camera. You know, I just wanna record all this stuff that we can don. You know?
Steve Montgomery: Yeah, but it's like all the time. You don't feel like it's a little weird? Like it puts a barrier between you and everything else?
Andrew Detmer: Uh...I don't know. Maybe I wanna be.
Steve Montgomery: So, like, what's up with your dad? What's his story? What does he do?
Andrew Detmer: Um...my dad's a firefighter.
Steve Montgomery: Okay, that's cool. Ah, man, that must have been awesome!
Andrew Detmer: Yeah, he...he was, I guess.
Steve Montgomery: What happened?
Andrew Detmer: Uh...I don't know. He...he didn't die or anything. He just...he got injured on the job and now he um...he collects the insurance, you know? Um...so he doesn't really do anything. He just...he um...he'll go out during the day, but I don't know where he goes. Uh...he drinks a lot, I know that much.
[Andrew is on a day out with his sick mother, she takes the camera and films Andrew]
Karen Detmer: Is it on?
Andrew Detmer: Yep. Yeah, you got it.
Karen Detmer: I wanna remember you like this.
Andrew Detmer: Oh, mom.
Karen Detmer: You're stronger than this. Can you say that for me? Please?
Andrew Detmer: I'm stronger than this.
[Andrew is filming Matt as he uses his telekinesis power to throw a rock into the river]
Steve Montgomery: Oh, nice.
Matt Garetty: Alright. Here, watch this.
[using his power he throws another rock into the water]
Steve Montgomery: Weak.
Andrew Detmer: Hey, Matt.
Matt Garetty: Yeah?
Andrew Detmer: Do you like me?
Matt Garetty: Um...yeah, of course. I mean, you know, I...I didn't...I mean, I didn't always.
Andrew Detmer: What do you mean?
Matt Garetty: I don't know. You haven't...you haven't always been super easy to talk to, you know? I mean, I'm not saying that you...you're not now. I'm just...
Andrew Detmer: You're such an asshole.
Matt Garetty: That's what I'm talking about, dude. You're hostile, see?
Andrew Detmer: Hey, Matt.
Matt Garetty: Yeah?
[referring to their newly found powers]
Andrew Detmer: Do you ever think about, like, doing more with it?
Matt Garetty: What with this? Not really. Why? What else is there?
[Steve is reading the meaning of telekinesis from his cell phone]
Steve Montgomery: Telekinesis.
Matt Garetty: Yes, do tell.
Steve Montgomery: The ability to move, lift, vibrate...
[Matt and Steve laugh]
Steve Montgomery: That's my favorite.
[Steve continues to read the description of telekinesis]
Steve Montgomery: Spin, bend, break or impact objects through the direct influence of mental power or other non-physical means.
Andrew Detmer: Sounds familiar.
Matt Garetty: It does sound familiar.
Steve Montgomery: Very familiar.
[footage shows them on the bleachers at the football field discussing their powers]
Matt Garetty: This is my theory though, is that it's like a muscle. Like it's elastic, if you stretch it too far too quick, it'll tare. That's why I think we're getting stronger, you know? Cause we're working it out. Getting buff.
Steve Montgomery: Buff. How about this for a workout?
[Steve holds a tube of potato chips and uses his power to lift the chips one by one into his mouth]
Matt Garetty: Oh, shit! That was awesome.
[Steve burps]
Matt Garetty: Classy.
Steve Montgomery: Mmhmm. Attractive.
Andrew Detmer: I think it's time we took this out of the backyard.
[after Andrew tries to stab Matt with a fork and the fork just gets bent when it hits Matt]
Andrew Detmer: Just pretend that there's a barrier over your hand, alright? And then when things are gonna hit you, as long as you're ready, they will not hurt you because of the barrier.
[the three are standing in the parking lot of a toy store]
Steve Montgomery: That is disgusting.
Matt Garetty: But do you guys share cups in the team?
Steve Montgomery: No, we don't share cups. You see that car though? The red one.
Matt Garetty: Yeah.
[referring to the Matt's failed attempt to pull the gum out of the a shopper's mouth]
Steve Montgomery: Alright. The gum was cool, alright? You tried. It was a failed attempt though. Watch this.
Matt Garetty: What are you doing?
Steve Montgomery: Watch.
Matt Garetty: Go. Go. Go.
[Steve stands closer to the red car and using his power he moves the car around the parking lot and parks it in a different spot]
Matt Garetty: What? Oh, no way! Holy shit! Dude!
[footage of them returning home from the store with Matt driving]
Matt Garetty: How did nobody see that? It was out in the open.
Andrew Detmer: Her face! I cannot get her face out of my mind!
Steve Montgomery: That was awesome! Man, this give me so many ideas for stuff that we can do.
no subject
Matt Garetty: Go around.
Steve Montgomery: Ah, it's just some redneck assholes.
Andrew Detmer: Steve! Steve! Steve! Take the camera. Take the camera.
[Steve takes the camera and turns it to show Andrew in the back sit turning to look at the truck tailgating behind them]
Andrew Detmer: Alright, just make sure it's zoomed out a little.
Steve Montgomery: Gotcha, I can see you.
[the truck keeps tailgating them and honking his horn]
Matt Garetty: Okay, buddy.
Steve Montgomery: What you gonna do?
Matt Garetty: What the hell is this guy's problem?
Steve Montgomery: What are you doin'?
Andrew Detmer: Abracadabra.
[Andrew uses his power and accidently sends the truck crashing into the lake]
Steve Montgomery: Woh! Woh! Woh! Andrew!
Matt Garetty: Shit!
Steve Montgomery: What the hell did you just do? Matt, stop the car! Stop! Stop!
Matt Garetty: Are you crazy?!
Steve Montgomery: Pull down the road. We gotta go down there, right now!
Andrew Detmer: You guys! I'm sorry!
[the three of them go down to the lake where the truck has crashed and overturned]
Matt Garetty: What did you do? Why did you do that?
Andrew Detmer: I...I didn't mean to! I didn't...!
Matt Garetty: What the hell is wrong with you?! Look at this!
Andrew Detmer: Will you just calm down!
Matt Garetty: They're probably still in there!
Andrew Detmer: I'm sorry, okay?
[Andrew uses his power to movie truck slowly out of the water]
Matt Garetty: Andrew! Stop! Stop!
Andrew Detmer: I can help! I can get them out!
Matt Garetty: Stop doing things!
[suddenly Steve dives into the lake and swims towards the overturned truck]
Matt Garetty: Steve! Steve! Steve, be careful! Shit! Shit! Oh, my God! Andrew! Are you kiddin' me?
[Matt dives into the lake and helps Steve pull the truck driver out of the water and Matt calls the police]
[later that night Matt grills Andrew about the accident]
Matt Garetty: Is this a game or something?
Andrew Detmer: I don't understand how you guys can be so angry.
Matt Garetty: You don't understand how we could be angry? Andrew, you...you put somebody in the hospital tonight. Okay? Do you understand that?
[Andrew doesn't reply]
Matt Garetty: Andrew, look at me! You put a guy in the hospital! How do you feel about that? You hurt somebody! We need rules, okay? Rule number one; no using it on living things. Rule number two; you can't use it when you're angry. That's it! Rule number three; I don't think we should be using it in public, or telling anybody about it. Okay?
Andrew Detmer: You can't just declare rules.
Matt Garetty: I will declare rules, when you do something...
Andrew Detmer: You're the one that said nothing matters.
Matt Garetty: I will declare rules. If we're gonna keep going and we're getting stronger, we need rules.
[turning to Steve, who's been quite and pacing around them]
Matt Garetty: We need rules, right?
Steve Montgomery: Matt's right, we need rules.
[in Matt's car as he drives them to meet Steve]
Andrew Detmer: Matt, what did he say?
[Matt doesn't reply]
Andrew Detmer: Are you still mad at me?
Matt Garetty: No, I'm not mad.
Andrew Detmer: Well, you seem mad.
Matt Garetty: I'm not mad, I just...I just think that we need to be more careful now, you know? We can't...we have to think a little bit more. We can't just do things, we have to think first. Okay?
Andrew Detmer: I understand.
Matt Garetty: Okay.
[they arrive at an old mill and spot Steve's car but don't see Steve]
Matt Garetty: Why is Steve out in the boonies?
Andrew Detmer: Where are we?
Matt Garetty: Steve!
Andrew Detmer: His car's right there.
Matt Garetty: Yeah.
[shouts out]
Matt Garetty: Steve, where are you at?
Andrew Detmer: Steve?
[Matt gets a text message from Steve and reads it]
Matt Garetty: Look up.
[they look up and see Steve floating twenty feet above the ground]
Steve Montgomery: Hello, boys!
Matt Garetty: What? What is up?
[as the other two look in shock at Steve floating above them]
Steve Montgomery: Here me out! Here me out!
Matt Garetty: What are you doing?
Steve Montgomery: It's...it's much easier than it looks, I swear. It's much easier than it looks.
Matt Garetty: Oh, my God, dud!
[Steve gives instructions to Matt as he attempts to fly]
Steve Montgomery: Make sure you catch yourself, and don't try and jump.
Matt Garetty: I got it! I got it!
Steve Montgomery: Flip yourself.
Andrew Detmer: Come on, Matt. Come on.
[Matt tries to fly, but is unsuccessful and just lands straight onto the dirt on the ground]
Matt Garetty: Oh, shit!
[Steve and Andrew laugh]
Andrew Detmer: Oh, man! In dirt, man.
Matt Garetty: Get behind me, you're in my way.
Andrew Detmer: What do you mean, I was in your way?
[Matt is behind the camera filming Andrew as he learns to fly]
Matt Garetty: Is that your focus face?
Andrew Detmer: Oh, my God, dude! Wooh!
[Andrew starts to float up]
Matt Garetty: Bullshit! Are you kidding me?
Andrew Detmer: Holy crap!
Steve Montgomery: Hold it!
Andrew Detmer: Oh, my God, dude!
Steve Montgomery: Hold it!
Andrew Detmer: I'm doing it!
Matt Garetty: Holy crape, dude!
Andrew Detmer: I am doing it! Aah!
Steve Montgomery: Yeah! You're doing it!
Andrew Detmer: Okay! Wooh!
Matt Garetty: Andrew, don't fart, we'll never find you again.
[Andrew floats up next to Steve]
Andrew Detmer: Steve, stop me! Stop me!
Matt Garetty: Oh, my God!
Steve Montgomery: You are flying!
Matt Garetty: You guys look so cute together. I'm coming up. I'm bringing the camera, okay? Alright.
Andrew Detmer: Alright, how do we get down?
[after the the three are fooling around flying, the three plummet to the ground when an airplane nearly slams into Steve]
Steve Montgomery: We have broken history! I mean, I'm talking about since the caveman time! Uh...uh...or the Egyptians! The Wright brothers!
[Steve pulls in Matt in front of the camera]
Steve Montgomery: Come here! Come here! Get in here! Get in here! Say it, 'I can fly.'
Matt Garetty: I can fly.
Steve Montgomery: I can fly!
Andrew Detmer: Oh, come on.
Steve Montgomery: Come on, stay it with your chest.
Matt Garetty: I can fly!
Andrew Detmer: Say it, Matt!
[Steve and Matt both shout loud]
Steve Montgomery: I can fly!
Matt Garetty: I can fly! I can fly!
[fooling around at Steve's place]
Matt Garetty: I tried to save you, man! Andrew was just quicker.
Steve Montgomery: How does that go again?
Andrew Detmer: You almost died!
Steve Montgomery: Oh, please.
[referring to Steve's girlfriend]
Matt Garetty: How does she not notice though?
Steve Montgomery: I mean, come on. Let's be serious guys. She definitely noticed that it's gotten better. You just gotta be, you know?
Matt Garetty: Yeah?
Steve Montgomery: You gotta be...you gotta be subtle.
Andrew Detmer: Woh, that is so cool!
Matt Garetty: Dude, I haven't had sex since summer.
Andrew Detmer: I haven't had sex since ever!
Matt Garetty: Oh, really?
Steve Montgomery: That is completely unacceptable. How are you guys so cool? How are you guys so cool, man?
Matt Garetty: Liquid Nitrogen.
[they all laugh]
[as they all fall asleep, Andrew's camera floats up]
Matt Garetty: Hey, guys? Guys? You guys up?
Andrew Detmer: Yeah.
Matt Garetty: I um...today was like, it was like...I think the best day of my life. Like, I mean, I'm...I'm thinking about it and I can't...I can't think of any day that I liked better than today. You know? I really...I think it was.
Andrew Detmer: Yeah.
Steve Montgomery: Unanimous.
Andrew Detmer: Yes.
Matt Garetty: Okay.
[the three are studying in the school library]
Steve Montgomery: Okay. Check this out, right? Say what you want, but I'm thinking about booking at Malibu for the weekend. What's up with that?
Matt Garetty: Seriously?
Andrew Detmer: Well we could do it. I mean, I was thinking of the same thing, except I've always wanted to go to Tibet.
Matt Garetty: Why Tibet?
Steve Montgomery: Tibet?
Andrew Detmer: Yeah. I don't know, it...it seems really beautiful, you know? With all the like...
[Matt starts doing the Tibetan chant loudly and Andrew tries to stop him by putting his hand over his mouth]
[referring to Tibet]
Andrew Detmer: The monuments and mountains, you know? I don't know. And the...the monks have achieved such a high level of enlightenment that they can like, they can like float and shit, you know? So we could fit right in.
Matt Garetty: We could really mess with their heads as well.
[Steve and Matt laugh]
Andrew Detmer: Yeah. But like, seriously, okay? I think we should go. It would be really cool. Peaceful.
Matt Garetty: No, I think it's a really good idea. I actually would like to go. I'm down. Are you down, Steve?
Steve Montgomery: Well, I...I don't know, man. There's no bikini's in Tibet, so I don't know if I'm down for that.
[as they sit on top of a building and Andrew is controlling the camera by using his power]
Steve Montgomery: Dude, when did you start doing this? Like since when?
Andrew Detmer: What, with the camera?
Steve Montgomery: Yes, with the camera.
Andrew Detmer: Um...I don't know. It's been little while, I guess.
Steve Montgomery: See, Oh my... I can't do that. I can't do stuff that requires finesse. I tried to type my name out yesterday and I cracked my keyboard in half.
Andrew Detmer: No, dude. It's really easy. You just, okay, you think that you're holding it.
Andrew Detmer: See it's different, cause you've always had friends. And...and people wanna talk to you and be around you. I never had any of that. I mean, before this, I barely even hung out with Matt, and he's my cousin. We were close when we were little. But, I don't know, in high school everything changed.
Steve Montgomery: You know, I've been meaning to ask you. Winter break is coming up, you should go to talent show with me.
Andrew Detmer: No way.
Steve Montgomery: Why not? It'll be good for you to get out there, you know? Meet some people. Meet some girls.
Andrew Detmer: No. No. It's just not...
Steve Montgomery: What?
Andrew Detmer: Look, I'm just really shy. Okay? And I don't...I mean, I don't even really have any talents, so?
Steve Montgomery: What are you talking about? You don't have talent? You have talent. You've got talent.
[Steve looks at the camera which Andrew controlling by using his powers]
Andrew Detmer: Oh, dude. No way!
no subject
Matt Garetty: Oh, my God! I can see you're head is like exploding right now.
Andrew Detmer: What?
Matt Garetty: This is the beginning of your downfall. Hubris, right there.
Andrew Detmer: What's hubris?
Matt Garetty: Ha-ha-ha!
Andrew Detmer: No! What does hubris mean, Matt?
Matt Garetty: Seriously?
Andrew Detmer: What does seriously mean?
Matt Garetty: What? I'm...
[Steve films as he walks into the bedroom after Monica had stormed out]
Steve Montgomery: Drew! Drew! It's okay, man. Don't worry about it. Look, it happens to the best of us, okay? You just had a little too much to drink.
[inside, Andrew is sat on the bed with his pants around his ankles and puke on his jacket]
Steve Montgomery: Oh, woh! Buddy! What's goin' on, dude?
[Andrew quickly pulls his pants up]
Andrew Detmer: Why are you laughing?
Steve Montgomery: Oh, man! All on my jacket!
Andrew Detmer: Stop! Stop laughing!
Steve Montgomery: What are you talkin' about? It's cool, man. It's cool.
Andrew Detmer: No, it's not cool! Steve, stop.
Steve Montgomery: Stop what? It's cool, man.
Andrew Detmer: Will you just get out of here! Get out!
Steve Montgomery: Drew! Drew!
Andrew Detmer: What's your problem? You think this is funny?
Steve Montgomery: No! No! I'm not laughing.
Andrew Detmer: Get out!
[at Steve's funeral Matt watches Andrew suspiciously and Andrew walks off filming graves]
Matt Garetty: What are you doing? You filming graves? I don't get it.
Andrew Detmer: What do you care?
Matt Garetty: You haven't been returning my calls. Why aren't you returning my calls?
Andrew Detmer: I've been busy.
Matt Garetty: No, you haven't. Why aren't you returning my calls?
Andrew Detmer: I just don't feel like talking.
Matt Garetty: Turn off the camera.
Andrew Detmer: No.
Matt Garetty: Andrew. Andrew, turn off the camera.
[Andrew turns his camera away and starts to walks off]
[referring to Steve's death]
Matt Garetty: Andrew, how did he get struck by lightning during a storm with no recorded lightning strikes? How? And they found Steve out in the middle of a field. Why would Steve go out in the middle of a field during a lightning storm, Andrew?
Andrew Detmer: I don't why.
Matt Garetty: What? What?!
Andrew Detmer: I don't know what happened, Matt!
Matt Garetty: I don't believe you, okay? I don't believe you. I want you to turn off the camera and talk to me.
Andrew Detmer: No! Why?
Matt Garetty: Because, I wanna have a conversation with you, okay?
Andrew Detmer: Don't tell me what do, Matt.
Matt Garetty: Just turn off the camera.
Andrew Detmer: Don't tell me what to do, Matt.
[Matt walks towards Andrew and tries to take the camera off Andrew]
Matt Garetty: Turn it off!
Andrew Detmer: Don't you ever tell me...!
Matt Garetty: Just give me...
[Andrew uses his power to make the camera float above them]
Matt Garetty: Andrew, are you joking right now? Is this...is this a joke to you?
[Andrew is at Steve's grave, crying and filming all the flowers laid on his grave]
Andrew Detmer: Please believe me, Steve! Please! It's just I...I don't know what I did. I lost control and...and I'm so sorry. This thing is just becoming a part of me now, and I don't... I miss you, Steve.
[in School Andrew gets bullied again by Wayne and and uses his power to pull out Wayne's teeth, he goes into the bathroom and talks into the camera and showing off the teeth]
Andrew Detmer: Okay. So, see this one here? This one I got really clean, cause I did this little, like, lasso thing around the root, you know? But then these two, these I did not get as good.
[he holds up the other two teeth in front of the camera]
Andrew Detmer: See how they're broken? I think it's because I got 'em from the middle, you know, instead of the root.
[Andrew is at impound yard talking into a camera]
Andrew Detmer: I've been doing a lot of reading, like online, about like...like, just like evolution and like natural selection. And how like there's this thing, right? It is called the apex predator, right? And basically what this is, is the strongest animal in eco-system, right? And...and as human beings we are...we're considered the apex predator, but only because, like...like smaller animals can't feed on us, because of weapons and stuff, right? A lion does not feel guilty when it kills a giselle. Right? You do not feel guilty when you squash a fly. And I think that means something. I just think that really means something.
[he then uses his power to crush the car behind him]
[after Matt stops Andrew from killing Richard, he and Casey try to get away but Andrew uses his power to lift their car and send it flying across the Space Needle, Matt flies Casey to safety and goes back to Andrew who's floating by the Space Needle causing havoc]
Matt Garetty: Andrew! Andrew! Look at me! This has to stop, right now! This is really really bad!
Andrew Detmer: Why did you catch him?
Matt Garetty: Listen! Just focus, okay?
Andrew Detmer: I dropped him! Why did you catch him?
Matt Garetty: Andrew, this is not a game! Do you understand? You're hurting people!
Andrew Detmer: You're weak, Matt! You're all weak!
Matt Garetty: Andrew!
Andrew Detmer: I'm stronger than all of this!
Matt Garetty: Andrew, listen to me. Okay? Just...just...I need you to listen! Just focus for a second!
Andrew Detmer: Do not tell me what to do!
