"Now, the college, which is situated on just over 100 breathtaking acres, was founded in 1887 by Lowndes Pope Middleton, who as a young man made a fortune in whale blubber before finding his true calling in education and philanthropy." "Now, his bronze likeness once stood upon this pedestal, but fell prey to some bandits in the late 1960s." "Why didn't they replace him?"

"I'm just kidding." "There's... no." "Very, very safe here." "We have a security team of students." "They're volunteers." "They're constantly patrolling." "We give them small nightsticks." "And they make sure everybody sort of stays in order." "It's a good system." "I see the toe of the boot is fairly worn out." "Is that a tradition..." "to rub the toes there?" "JUSTIN:" "It is." "It is." "Thank you for bringing that up." "Before an important day or test or something, you're supposed to kiss the boot." " Any rapes?" " GIRL:" "Oh, my God." "JUSTIN:" "A lot of rapes."

" Do you want one?" "Can I get you one?" " No." "Cool." "Any more questions?" "Love questions." "They're not even gonna notice I'm gone, okay?" " Excuse me."

"Depends on the data plan." "Well, is he gonna make it?" "I'm not sure." "Oh." "George Hartman." "Oh." "What?" "Heart man?" "Oh, yes." "Well, what can I say?" "I like things neat." "I'm Edith Martin." "Edith?" "Oh." "Oh, I know, I know, but it's gonna make a comeback." "Just wait and see." "Excuse me." "Do you know where the Pope Library is?" "Yeah." "It's the building next to the building behind that building." "So next to the thing?" "Exactly." "43 grand a year and that's the best they can do?" "You made your boy put on that tie, didn't you?" "You mean the waste of a tie." "Well, it's obvious he doesn't want to wear it." "I was just trying to be encouraging." "Well, your girl seemed very determined." "Audrey." "Yeah, I named her after Audrey Hepburn, but it was a serious miscalculation." "I should have named her Benito." " A smartphone fascist?" " Right?" "Oh, my God." "If Audrey had to give up either her phone or a kidney, she'd be on dialysis, I'm sure of it." "So is Middleton your first stop?" "No, it's our only stop." "Yeah, I couldn't get her to look anyplace else." "My husband was supposed to chaperone, but... he couldn't get off of work." "I told my wife that..." "I wouldn't miss this for the world." "I think it's a little slice of heaven." "Middleton?" "Yes, Middleton." "Eh, a little small for my taste." "JUSTIN:" "We all like books here a lot at Middleton." "We're big fans of books." "Our library, the Pope Library, has on hand over 200,000 volumes of books as well as a huge collection of rare books." "It's not small." "It's intimate is what it is." "God, these things are like a dog and pony show." "They give your child no idea whatsoever what it would be like to actually go here." "It's just a day." "JUSTIN:" "Books are like the magazines of the gods." "Am I right?" "Sometimes a day can be an eternity." "Particularly if you're in the company of a man who backs into a parking space." "It's a good place to come and study." "There's actually a floor upstairs that you're required to be quiet." " These tours are like a first date." " (SNICKERS)" "She's smart." "She's pretty." "She smells good." "Maybe you'll try to stick your hand up her shirt." "Shh!" "JUSTIN:" "My favorite is "Cat Fancy" and "Dog Fancy,"" ""House and Garden," "Botanist's Weekly,"" ""Architectural Digest"..." "a whole array of stuff." "A lot of good magazines here." "I'm just always trying to keep up." "Now, this is pretty exciting... currently we have on loan from the British Library a manuscript from renowned poet and author Charles Dodgson." "Now, Dodgson didn't write under his real name." "Lewis Carroll." "Very good." "Very nice." "Um, Carroll's masterwork" ""Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"... that's gonna be here till the end of the month, so we're very excited." "Excuse me." "I find it extraordinary that Lewis Carroll's masterwork would be available" " to such a small college." " (SNICKERING)" "JUSTIN:" "I think it's incredible." "I do." "But, you know, a lot of really cool stuff happens here." "Um, this past weekend" "Snatches of Pink played a free concert on the quad." " Justin." " Hmm?" "On a scale of one to 10, could you rate the effect on your life respectively of the visiting manuscript versus the Snatches of Pink concert?" "The Snatches were tight." "(LAUGHTER)" "The Snatches were tight, George." " JUSTIN:" "So let's..." " Tight." "Hey, let's float on over to this residence hall." " Ooh, speaking of floating..." " I know what that means." "Just up the stairs and, ironically, it's just past the Ps." "(CROWD GIGGLING)" "All righty, so come on." "This dorm we're gonna go see..." "it's actually named after the fourth of Middleton's seven illegitimate children." " AUDREY:" "Osborne." " You're killing it." "You're on fire." " She's the one to beat, you guys." " BOY:" "Uh-oh." "JUSTIN:" "Seven children from seven women... hey, Middleton was no Moby Dick." " Hey." " Hey." " JUSTIN:" "I am on fire right now." " This woman's driving me crazy... completely loony." "You look very handsome." "A little pinch in there and we'll be all set." "What do you think of it so far?" " Of what?" " Middleton." "It's small." "It's not small." "It's intimate." "Why are you cramming this place down my throat?" "Who's cramming?" "Can't you just let me figure it out myself?" "How are you gonna figure it out with this kind of feckless approach?" " Feckless?" " Feckless." "That would be "not tight" to you." "Dad, please don't say "tight."" "Where are you going?" "I'm going to figure it out myself." "(SIGHS)" "I think he's rounding second." "Hey." "How are you?" "You think they're freshmen?" "Yeah." "Carry on." "Carry on." "You know, it's not polite to stare." " I'm not staring." " Oh, you were a statue." " How long were you there?" " Just long enough to catch you staring." " What are you doing up here?" " Going to the bathroom." "Is that your story?" "Because my money's on you followed me." " (CHUCKLES) I did no such thing." " Of course you did." "Yeah, I could easily say that you came up here so I would follow you." "You could." "And you'd be wrong." "Excuse me." "Hey." "I'm trying to write a paper here." "You know, this is a library." "I'm sorry." "We're being rude." "What paper are you working on?" " You wouldn't be interested." " Give it a shot." "I might surprise you." "What have you got there?" "Hemingway?" "Steinbeck?" "That's cute." ""Images of Sexual Alienation" "As They Relate to the Monkey Garden in 'The House on Mango Street."" "I got nothing for you." "Good luck." "What, you guys get separated from the tour?" "BOTH:" "Yeah." " Dingle-berry?" " BOTH:" "Yeah." "You're better off on your own." "Thank you." " Okay, I did follow you." " (BELL TOLLING)" "Ha!" "Why?" " I wanted to apologize." " For what?" " For being that guy." " Oh." "Oh, pshh." "You're not really that guy." "I mean, your son thinks you're that guy." "But trust me, you're definitely not that guy." "Monkey Garden back there will grow up to be that guy." "Anyway, apology accepted." "Thank you." "Where do you suppose they are?" "Well... uh, library." "According to the schedule, Osborne Hall." "Yeah?" " Is Osborne Hall..." " Is where?" "around here?" "Oh, it's in the building next to the building behind that building." "Osborne Hall, which is where I'm going." "Okay, let me guess... you sell... antiques." "Hmm." " Gardening equipment." " Mm." "Antique gardening equipment." " Children's furniture." " Really?" "High-end children's furniture." "And what constitutes high-end children's furniture?" "It being in my store." "How about you?" "So you fix broken hearts." "Do you have any other children?" "No." "You?" "No, Audrey's all we can handle." "GEORGE:" "I thought they would be here." " EDITH:" "Yeah." " (LINE RINGING)" "AUDREY:" "Hello?" " JUSTIN:" "Up in this building..." " EDITH:" "Hi." "Where are you?" "Where are you?" "I thought you said we were gonna do this together." "Well, yeah, that's what I thought, until it became obvious" "I've become some endless well of embarrassment for you." "You know how important this day is to me." "Why are you doing this?" "I don't know." "I don't know what you're talking about." ""How many people have been killed at Middleton?"" "EDITH:" "Oh, come on." "You're indicting me for being a caring parent?" "No, I'm indicting the succubus that body-snatched your soul and is walking around in your clothes today." "She just called me a succubus." " Succubus?" " Listen to me, Audrey." " Okay..." " No, Mom, you listen." "This is the beginning of my Middleton experience." "And I'm not gonna let you ruin it." "I'm going here." "I'm gonna study with Emerson." "And you know what else?" "I'm gonna finish." "Okay, what does that mean?" "It means that I won't have to settle for selling furniture the rest of my life." "(GASPS)" "Ooh!" "I can't." "I can't." "No." "Oh, God." "Okay, you know what?" "I'd say that you're behaving like a five-letter word that means "female dog."" "Okay." "So, listen, when I was in the library," "I happened to run into the dean of students who just volunteered to give George and me" " a personal tour of the campus." " What?" " Dean Pruitt?" " Yeah, in the flesh." "But what we're seeing isn't on the regular tour, no." "You get to meet Middleton." "We get to feel her up." " Really?" " Really." "So take your personal space." "Enjoy the cookie-cutter tour with the Dingleberry." "And, you know, call me when you need a ride home." " That was very impressive." " What?" "The way you so convincingly lied to your daughter." "Yeah?" "I'm not even warmed up." "JUSTIN:" "Okay, guys, I can't help it." "At this point, I've just got to tell you some really great things about Middleton..." " Hi." " Oh, hey." "What's going on?" " Audrey Martin." " Hi." "Conrad Hartman." "Parking lot earlier." " Yeah, I remember." " Yeah." "Yeah." " Nice to meet you." " You as well." "So where is your mom?" "Um, who cares?" "What do you mean?" "She seems pretty cool, for a mom." "Why didn't your morn make the trip?" "You know, this is Dad's thing." "And Dad's thing's really Mom's thing." "I guess he wanted it to be some kind of bonding experience, but I'm totally not feeling it." "It just seems all so feckless." "You said "feckless."" "Yeah, feckless." "Yeah." "You know, maybe Monkey Garden is right." "Maybe we'd do better on our own." "Are you advocating tour hooky?" " Yep." " What do I tell Conrad?" "Oh, you know, I don't know." "Just give him some space." "You know?" "Let him loosen his tie." "But this visit was my idea." "He's gonna think I flaked out on him." "He doesn't even have lunch money." "I don't think so." "You know, they're probably in class." "Look, we'll bring them right back." " No." " This is fate." "This is theft, Edith." "When was the last time you rode a bike, George?" "Yeah, my point exactly." "Now get on." "According to the Dingleberry, we have a little over 100 breathtaking acres at our disposal." "You know?" "We need the speed." "Come on." "We'll bring 'em right back." "Come on, Hartman!" "(RINGS BELL)" "Get the stick out of your ass!" "Hey." "All right." " 12." " What?" "Last time I rode a bike, I was 12." "Are you sure you're okay, George?" "You strike me as a helmet-wearing kind of guy." "Oh!" "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!" "(GEORGE GROANS)" "I think I lost a testicle." "(GEORGE GROANING)" "Oh." "Wow!" "Oh..." " (GEORGE MUTTERING)" " You okay?" "Yeah." "Just give me a second." " Unbelievable." " (WIND WHISTLING)" "Look, you can see the entire campus." " You can see the town." " Yeah." "Yeah." "You can see the one car parked backwards." "Yeah." "Yeah." " Get over here." " Yeah." "Yeah." " (EDITH BREATHING DEEPLY)" " Yeah." "Did you read up ever on this bell tower?" "Hmm?" "No." "Yeah, there's a legend of the bell tower." "I saw it here in the..." "oh, here it is." "Edith, Edith, don't do that." "Don't lean over like that." "Says here the tower was completed in 1917, the year that the United States entered the First World War." "More than 150 Middleton students" " enlisted for military service." " Hmm." "And there was a young woman by the name of... a freshman, name of Matilda Reynolds, whose boyfriend, Seymour Sternshine, was among the newly minted doughboys." "Upon his departure, she ascended the steps of this very tower and stood in the east window, facing Europe, of course, yeah, where she silently pledged her eternal love to him, vowing that she would rise into the tower" "at the same time each day until he returned safely from the war." " Aww." " Young love." "And what happened?" "What happened?" "It says... oh." "Seymour was killed." "Yeah, he was killed by... by a stampede of rogue swine in the Loire Valley that also claimed the lives of almost all of his platoon except for his young brother, Ernest Sternshine, who was the bugle man who lived to tell the story." "Apparently the high C notes drove off the rogue swine... the very sensitive ears that their swine have." "(GEORGE CHUCKLING)" "Seymour Sternshine." "All right, so I have a little trouble playing poker in a brightly lit room." "Come over here." "Come over here." "You can't miss this." "No, I'm good." "There's a nice breeze here." "Huh?" " A nice breeze here." " Come here." "(GASPS)" " No." " Yes." " Yeah?" " Yeah." " You're afraid of heights?" " "Afraid" is a strong word." "Let's just say I try to organize my life in such a way where heights don't really play into the equation." "So you will open up a person's chest with a very sharp knife, but you won't stand over here by this railing?" "It's a little more complicated than that, but pretty much, yeah." "No." "Come on." "I will..." "I'll help you." " No, listen..." " I'll help you." "I will take care of you." "I promise." "I'll take care of you." " Edith." " Come on." " Edith, I can't go over there." " You can." " No, I can't." " I'll help you." " No, I can't go over there." " Yes, you can." " Listen to me very carefully." " I'll help you." " Edith." "Edith." " Come on." "Come on, George." " I can't go over there." " Yes, you can." "Come on." "Come on." "You can't miss this." "Okay, I saw a bird." "I saw a bird." "Edith." "(GEORGE BREATHING DEEPLY)" "Ahh." "Mm." "Thank you."

" That's Georgie." " Mm-hmm." "Georgie is enormously bright, but is hampered by the little brother complex." "He always wants to make his father proud." "He will marry the first woman he falls in love with." "And he will go on to a long and distinguished, but... somewhat unfulfilling career as a surgeon." "I detect a sadness in Georgie." "No, it's not sadness." "He has enormous resolve." "Can I tell you something about Georgie?" "No." "I think that... that he has no idea just how special he truly is."
