- TIM & GULED: What? - FRANCO: What about our pact? VANCE: Listen, I'd like to go, and you guys know how much I love a good pact.
It's just that I remembered I have to take my mom to the dentist next week, so TIM: Dude, think about it.
Sand as far as the eye can see.
No traffic, no taxes, no responsibilities, no trees, or water, or adorable animals, or family.
Huh.
- Guys, I'm out, too.
- FRANCO & GULED: What? TIM: Yeah, I was only going because everyone was going.
You know how susceptible I am to peer pressure.
GULED: Fine.
I'm not going, either.
FRANCO: What's your reason? GULED: I don't need a reason why I don't want to live on a goddamn, rusty, - red-ass planet for the rest of my life.

I don't want to be the only one.
I won't go either.

A chance at a new beginning, together! Tim, you wanted to start a farm and feed the new colony.
TIM: That's true.
FRANCO: Vance, you wanted to find love under Mars' glowing blue sunset.
VANCE: I'd still like that.
FRANCO: And Guled, you wanted to start a war with Earth, which is weird, but still, it's something you wanted.
GULED: The greater planet will succeed.
FRANCO: Guys, let's not let fear of the unknown stop an adventure of a lifetime.
We're a team, brothers till the end.
What do you say, fellas? Let's go to Mars! [HEROIC MUSIC SWELLS UP.]

COACH: Bobby ? Sam? SAM: I wasn't gonna say anything.

You had nothing, and if you had something, there was always someone trying to take it away from you.
COACH: You've got a gift, John, and if I said anything offensive, it was only to make you believe in yourself.
Because I love you.
You deserve to be a champ.
So go out there, and take what's yours JOHN: Thanks, Coach.
COACH: before they take all our jobs.
Let's go! Let's fight! JOHN: Augh Argh! [BELL RINGS.]
ARTIST: The problem with Toronto is that the art scene is dead.
If you truly want great art, you must take to the streets.
Now, this is a work of great tension.
A smiling sun shines down on a jocular little family.
And what's this? The large-faced little girl with her mocking grin towers over her own home.
Fascinating! Who created this masterpiece? Who shall lay claim to this insightful critique of the modern family dynamic? Was it you? [GASPS.]
And so, it stays anonymous, like all great art.
But ho ho! Oh my! Oh me, oh my! A 1, and then a 2-3, followed by an adjacent 5 and 6.
Oh! Oh my stars and goddess! Each escalating number a scathing indictment of condo living.
[GASPS.]
And what do we have here? Uninspired lines leading to nowhere? Pity pah! What derivative - [VAN HONKS.]
- ARTIST: [SCREAMS.]
- [BREAKS SCREECHING.]
- [LOUD THUD.]

POLICEMAN: I was just fuelling the fire, baby.
NIGEL: Growing up gets so crazy sometimes, it's nice to remember where you came from.
- Thanks for this.
- CHRIS: Oh, don't thank me, thank the principal for letting us in here.
NIGEL: Hey, check it out! My old locker! It still has my old Raptors lock! CHRIS: Oh, man, how many times has this locker saved us from an ass-kicking by the rugby team? NIGEL: At least 35 times, but not as many times as NIGEL & CHRIS: Sam! [LAUGHTER.]
NIGEL: Remember the last day of school when the bullies were chasing Sam, so we hid him inside the locker? CHRIS: They never suspected a thing! NIGEL: That was the day Vince Carter dropped by the gym and we rushed out to meet him.
CHRIS: We walked out of high school on our last day high off the joy of meeting our hero.
NIGEL: And we proceeded to have the best summer ever before going away to college and - Oh my God, we forgot about Sam.
- CHRIS: What? NIGEL: We left our school and we never came back to get Sam out.
CHRIS: No, we must have come back, all right? Because I got Vince Carter to sign my jersey, then we took a Polaroid picture and I shook it all the way home, and I remember, because the song.
"Hey Ya!" had just Oh my God, we killed Sam.
NIGEL: I was doing Jagerbombs at Western while my friend was rotting away.

- You're alive? - SAM: Of course! What has it been, like 12 years? NIGEL: Yeah.
CHRIS: You look great! Uh, your skin's really cleared up.
SAM: Oh, just keeping out of the sun.
CHRIS: And you you're looking fit, too.
SAM: 12 years of standing.
It turns out it's the best exercise there is.
NIGEL: So life's been good, then? SAM: No, Nigel.
It's been great! [LAUGHTER.]
SAM: The locker's been the best thing to ever happen to me.
I met my wife in there 10 years back, and Look at me, yapping about myself.
What about you guys? Chris, did you end up becoming a firefighter? CHRIS: No, I work at The Beer Store.
SAM: Fantastic.
Would you guys like to take a look around? [SCARY MUSIC.]
NIGEL & CHRIS: Sure SAM: Yeah, I can take that off your hands.
Thank you! NIGEL: It's pretty dark in here! SAM: Is it? Yeah, it is! Isn't it? [LOCKER SLAMS SHUT.]
CHRIS: Oh! SAM: That's what you get for leaving me in there for 12 years.
CHRIS: But we'll still live a great life, too, right? SAM: No, of course not! It'll be horrible.

REPORTER: I'm standing here with Xander Thomas, who finished with 27 points, 12 rebounds, and hit the game-winner.
Xander, how does it feel to do that in front of your hometown crowd? XANDER: Uh, amazing.
I've played everywhere, but honestly there's nothing like your hometown crowd.
REPORTER: You went 10 for 10 from the line with your mom watching you in the stands.
- It must have felt great.
- [CHEERLEADERS CHEERING.]
XANDER: I love my mom.
She's my number one supporter, from Little League to the pros.
She's always been there for me.
REPORTER: Speaking of being there for you, your estranged father was not.
Today was the first time he's seen you play in 30 years after being in prison for a crime he did not commit.
How does it feel to have your father, a virtual stranger, watching you today? XANDER: Uh, wow.
Um, okay.
I feel overwhelmed.
But it was a team effort.
Innocence International really pushed the DA to get him released.
Hey, Dad.
REPORTER: Now, I got to ask about your kids.
XANDER: Do you got to? REPORTER: You just lost a lengthy custody battle over both your children.
How do you move on? XANDER: I guess you can't win them all.
You got to go out there and leave it all on the court.
Give 110%, sometimes more.
REPORTER: All right, now let's talk about passing.
XANDER: Oh, yeah, great.
Absolutely.
REPORTER: Specifically, the passing of your grandmother during the middle of the game today.
XANDER: What? REPORTER: I have an urn with her ashes, right here.
XANDER: [GASPS.]
Oh, God! REPORTER: Her last words were, "Where's Xander," "my sweet, darling boy?" Tell me, what's going through your mind right now? XANDER: Uh okay.
Shock? Grief.
Confusion as to how you got my nana's ashes.
Like, was there a service? - REPORTER: Yes.
It was very moving.
- TEAMMATES: Happy birthday! [AIR HORN BLASTS.]
[URN SHATTERS.]
TEAMMATES: Birthday boy! Woo! - JANITOR: [WHISTLES.]
- XANDER: [GASPS.]
REPORTER: Well, I'll let you get back to celebrating - your epic win - XANDER: Nana! REPORTER: Reconnecting with your father and, of course, mourning the loss of a loved one.
Thanks for talking to me, Xander.
- XANDER: [WHIMPERING.]
- REPORTER: Back to you, John! XANDER: Why? [CRYING.]

VANCE: Oh, it's like, up CHARLIE: Oh, and the best part, or should I say the worst part? [LAUGHS MANIACALLY.]
