00:06 You're the guy that I dreamed of from ninth grade to senior year.
00:09 Brad didn't know Jeannie in high school.
00:11 So you were obsessed with me. Shut up.
00:14 There's no stopping Brad Willington, man.
00:16 In fact, no one did.
00:18 You run the show.
00:20 You're the one who's gonna be the star of the show.

00:27 In fact, no one did.
00:30 You were on the cheerleading squad.
00:31 Top of the pyramid, right?
00:32 Then why do I know your face?
00:33 But on the day before their high school reunion
00:35 I recognize you.
00:37 After, what, 20 years?
00:39 Seven graduates come together
00:42 You know, I'm the only black man out here in 110 degree weather
00:45 walking into town.
00:47 Yes, I'll play inspector.
00:48 to remember what they were.
00:50 So what was your deal in high school?
00:53 I hardly think high school mattered.
00:55 Well, then why are you here?
00:57 It's just curiosity.
00:58 and face what they left behind.
01:00 20 years and here you are.
01:03 Char Black.
01:07 What'd you expect?
01:09 Pat, you're 37 years old.
01:12 I've got my whole life ahead of me.
01:14 Well, what the hell are you gonna do?
01:15 Are you gonna come back here and help me in the garden?
01:17 I came back here to be validated by a bunch of
01:20 presumably overweight, catty, undersexed graduates
01:24 who you shouldn't even think about twice.
01:26 You may find out we don't even like each other.
01:30 It's not important.
01:31 You know, what's important to me
01:33 is that I found out
01:35 I found out who I am.
01:37 20 years later, all grown up
01:40 these friends have a chance to discover
01:43 who they are
01:45 and what they can be.
01:47 The big chill of the 21st century.
01:51 You knew who I was all along?
01:54 No, but I remember you now.

02:00 The internationally acclaimed ensemble film
02:04 American Reunion.
02:06 So what's the occasion, if you don't mind my asking?
02:09 20 year high school reunion.
02:11 Ed, Al.
02:13 Couldn't be more than 10, right?
02:15 You don't remember me?
02:17 I guess so.
02:19 And I don't remember you.
02:22 I think I should've remembered you.
02:24 There was a time when everything seemed so instant.
02:28 Then, you grew up.
02:30 American Reunion.
02:33 Coming soon.
