00:26Hey, Bean.
00:27You must be so pissed off.
00:29It's not funny, Mom.
00:31It's not funny, I know.
00:33But I'm gonna explain, okay?
00:36Last week, I was getting my so-called affairs in order.
00:41Oh my God, the crap that we hold on to for no apparent reason.
00:45But it was actually this amazing life flashback, you know?
00:50I mean, it was actually a you flashback.
00:53Look at all this stuff I found.
00:55Look, all your finger paintings, report cards.
00:59But in the middle of it all, I found this piece of paper.
01:06A life list.
01:08Your life list.
01:11I love this list.
01:16This list is such a reflection of who you are.
01:22Who I was. I was 13 when I wrote it.
01:24And I know, obviously, you have changed.
01:27Oh my God, it's like she's listening to me.
01:29And I think that's my concern,
01:32is that I don't know that you have replaced this with anything.
01:38I wonder, have you given up your dreams and your aspirations?
01:43Your goals?
01:45And don't tell me Rose Cosmetics,
01:47because I feel like I gave you this cozy job
01:51that allowed you to run away from who you really are.
01:55Thanks a lot.
01:56So okay, let's look at the list.
01:59Help people and make a difference.
02:02Be a great teacher.
02:06Alex, you are a born teacher.
02:10Okay, learn to drive, get a tattoo.
02:12You can skip those, please, dear God.
02:14My one request?
02:16Find true love.
02:19Why do I have a horrible feeling you've given up on that one too?
02:22That's not fair.
02:23I want you to know how incredible you are.
02:27I want you to live your best life.
02:30You have to get yourself out of this hole that you're in.
02:33I'm not in a hole.
02:34I'm sorry, that's not up for discussion.
02:37I'm not going to be around to dig you out,
02:40but I can sure as hell leave you a shovel.
02:45I want you to complete this list, Bean.
02:50Hold on.
02:52Mom, you can't just say that and...
02:56Okay, every time you check off something from the list,
03:00Brad is going to give you one of these DVDs,
03:04which I am going to record.
03:06And once the list is completely finished,
03:10you will get this envelope.
03:13But the clock is ticking.
03:15The list has to be finished by New Year's.
03:18Otherwise, no envelope.
03:20Oh my God, I can't believe this.
