Overview
John, a first-time filmmaker, finds himself in Lansing, Michigan to present his film at a local film festival. Vince, his high school friend who is now a volunteer fireman and small-time drug dealer, also visits the town to support John on his big day, or so it seems. After a raucous hello and much backslapping, it appears that there is an undercurrent of tension in the air.

00:02:58 - Vince! - Hey, man.
00:06:16 - Oh boy. - John, I never touched her.
00:09:20 you know, whatever it is you think nobody gets about you.
00:12:32 That's true.
00:15:16 Yeah. Why is what you do better?
00:18:13 That's because everyone's a dick in high school.
00:22:00 What if they are fat?
00:24:42 I would not let what happened happen.
00:27:52 - Maybe she's fat. - That's really not funny.
00:30:52 It's something I wish hadn't happened.
00:33:40 because the reason why you are where you are today...
00:37:19 Do you think everyone should call up
00:41:00 Really, you should get going.
00:44:11 Give me the tape, Vince.
00:47:51 - Quite the reunion. - Yeah.
00:50:31 I didn't know you lived out here.
00:53:14 Well maybe John doesn't feel like it.
00:56:23 I always wanted to be your first... boyfriend.
00:59:42 - Hey, John... - What?
01:03:39 - Why? - I want to tell her something.
01:06:50 I think...
01:09:31 I loved you.
01:12:26 And if it really were no big deal for you
01:16:35 Well, I guess I'll just have to stay here
