- Yeah, no, I do.
I know, yeah, yeah.
Go ahead and do that again.
Quick, think of number one to 10.
Yes, you, all of you in
the audience right now
or maybe it's just one of you
or four of you or a hundred of you,
depending on how successful
this movie is, whatever.
Just think of a number one to 10.
Got it?
Is it seven?
Chances are I'm wrong,
but for about one out
of every three of you,
I just blew your goddamn mind.
But one out of three?
Not one out of 10?
How is that possible?
(upbeat rock music)
(bell rings)
- Here's my theory.
First of all, no one will
pick one or 10, right?
Like that's just stupid
picking on the ends
and you didn't even specify
one and 10 are included, right?
So people wouldn't wanna
mess the rules or anything.
Like it would be embarrassing
to fuck up choosing the
number one through 10.
- Why do you think people
choose a number seven?
- Well, I'm an Aquarius,
so three gives off bad vibes for me.
- Yeah, five, bro.
Like that's just mid af!
- No cap.
- Well, you see, Pythagoras
actually calculated
even integers are more predictable.
Two and four feel a bit,
uh, harmless, if you will.
You know, back in my day-
- Three.
- Nine.
- Five.
- Four.
- Four.
- Pick a side.
- Three.
- Five.
- Two.
- Nine.
(disorienting music)
(students chattering)
- And so there it was.
Science has found that 33%
of people will choose seven.
And yet no one could quite explain why.
Out of a seemingly random set
of arbitrarily assigned values,
out of complete and utter meaninglessness
and nothingness came...
(dramatic music)
Everything!
I mean, think about it.
We live in a world with
so much uncertainty
with, like, climate
change, civil unrest, and-
- The only thing unsure right now
is what college you're going to.
- Miles, it's really not that complicated.
Go to a good college, get a job and die.
- And what's with all that
1 through 10 shit you say every day?
- Yeah, what's with that anyway?
- Yeah, what's with that anyway?
- How about your extracurriculars?
Community service?
(disorienting dramatic music)
(voices chattering)
Miles!
- Miles.
- Focus.
- Hello!
- [Father] Miles.
(voices chattering)
(disorienting music)
You don't have much time.
(keyboard clicking)
(light airy music)
- [Harper] Where do you wanna go next?
- [Miles] I don't know.
I don't know anything.
- [Harper] Try to remember.
- [Miles] Memories with you?
- [Harper] With me.
(both cheering and laughing)
- Get the fuck down!
You go ahead. (cheering)
Oh my god, oh my god! (laughs)
(seat belts clattering)
(windows whirring)
- No, no, no.
- Mm, yeah.
- No, I, no, I just.
- Right.
- If we.
- Maybe.
- If we-
- Could?
- Yeah, absolutely.
- What?
- Total-.
- What are you?
Yeah, okay.
- Well, I should probably,
I should probably get going.
I just have some work
that I gotta do.
- Yeah, same, same.
- Cool, but it was really nice
conversing with you, Harper.
- Precisely, have a great night, Miles.
- You too.
- All right.
Wait, do you wanna kiss?
- Yeah I was like-
- Yeah, exactly, of course.
- Like, obviously.
- Door.
- Door.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, um, but obviously.
- So should we drive around some more?
- Yeah, let's do that.
- Yeah, let's-

(audience cheering)
(audience applauding)
- Seven, was also the first time
I encountered the pinnacle
of existence, death.
(raccoon chirping)
(body thumps)
Why do you think that
raccoon killed himself?
- He didn't, animals don't do that.
- But what if they have
feelings just like us?
Maybe his wife died and
he went through months
of existential grief and rehab.
- Where's all this coming from?
- Mom?
Did Uncle Fred kill himself?
- [Miles] You'll never have
control over what you learn.
- I didn't.
- But how does he know?
- [Father] I don't know!
- [Miles] You'll never know the value
of a moment until it becomes a memory.
- [Fred] Pick a number one through 10.
- Um...
And now you all are probably
expecting a happy moral
to the story or some kind of,
but wait, there's more ending.
But there is none.
There's no meaning to any of this.
There's no meaning to any of
your shitty follow your dreams
(audience gasping)
valedictorian speeches
or virtue signaling
"we live in a society" Pinterest quotes
and definitely there's no,
(microphone buzzes)
and definitely there's no meaning
to my pretentious, nihilistic and edgy
attempt at self-awareness for
the sake of self-awareness!
(audience muttering)
- [Harper] Will you remember me?
- Of course.
- I don't think I will.
- Yeah, honestly I don't
think I will either.
- No, like I'll remember you
but, in like, in 50 years?
- Like, we probably won't
give a fuck about each other.
- Right.
- Let's be honest.
- Exactly.
- Yeah.
I mean, maybe though.
- Yeah, I'd like to think so.
I'll be, like, remember that Miles kid?
I really liked him.
He was really cute.
He had nice eyes.
- I guess.
It's a weird feeling.
It's a kind of fleeting feeling
we'll only really experienced once.
Like we're not gonna
realize how good we had it
until we're old and inevitably
lose contact with each other
and then,
and then remembering all
of this will be painful.
Do you think then
that it would be better
to remember or forget?
Yeah, me too.
(slow rock music)
- We begin tonight with New Mexico
where thousands of firefighters-
- [Miles] It's strange.
- Are battling the colossal wildfire.
- The worst day in more than 40 years.
- Decisions spark protest from-
- [Miles] There's so many random things
happening in the world at once
that don't feel like they make sense.
- Breaking news.
- What you're about
to see is graphic.
- [Miles] Okay, now I'm gonna ask you
what do you think the meaning of life is?
- Mm, just to have fun
and don't care what anyone
else thinks of you at all.
- Just live in with the journey,
the experience and find
some happiness there.
- Honestly, just do
whatever hell you want.
'cause I mean, in the end,
none of this is gonna matter.
And these people that
you think care right now,
they really don't.
- [Student] Um, I guess
to focus on yourself
and do what you want to do
and not waste time.
- I got it, I got it!
- [Student] To help people
to do more good than bad.
- [Miles] So how do you feel
about the future right now?
(both cheering)
- Like, the world's kind
of uncertain at the moment.
- Personally kind of scared.
- Not great.
- [Student] I'm just
kinda nervous about it.
It takes a lot of work to be happy.
(students cheering)
I don't know where I'm
gonna go to college.
I don't know what I wanna do with my life
and so I don't know where I'm gonna go.
- [Student] It's just
such an unexpected thing.
You can never know
what's gonna happen next.
(students cheering)
- [Miles] I don't think anyone
really knows what's going on.
- How does he know?
- I don't know!
- As a family man I,
so the meaning is to happen
is for all my family members.
- [Student] The future,
the past, the present.
It's like a gift, I don't know. (laughs)
- Three, two, one.
- Future's really scary.
I don't really feel confident.
- Would I be here?
- Boo!
- There you are!
- I'd say sad,
only because there's a lot
of things that I benefit from
in this world that a lot of
people don't benefit from.
- It's a surprise.
I took a trip last year
but I didn't know what
the future is, right?
- The world's biggest bird is the ostrich.
- Six?
(transcendental music)
But we all try to find
our seven to hold onto.
Love everyone that you can
just go find someone and
abuse them with your love.
- You know, the people
that you spend it with.
- [Student] Just live life
and not just exist.
- Just believe big
and you never know what's gonna happen.
- Existing is just
waking up, going to work.
- We live and we die, that's all it is.
- [Father] You're gonna
do great things, man.
Seriously, I believe in you.
- [Mother] Embrace it.
Embrace every moment of it.
- [Harper] You live in terror
of not being misunderstood.
I'm always here.
Always.
- And all of a sudden,
in a moment of complete absurd randomness.
(transcendental music)
- Miles, focus.
(young Miles yelling)
- Oh, it's sadness.
- Happiness, fear.
(children chattering)
You never know what's gonna happen.
(dramatic music)
- [Miles] There's clarity.
- Wesley Wang.
(audience cheering)
(upbeat rock music)
- Three, two, one!
(crowd cheering)
- I'm Saunders, production designer.
Today I have water guns.
- [Cameraman] Hey John,
look at the camera.
- No.
