Becca: How are my friends doing? Just tell me. I can take it. I mean, I can't... but I can. Did someone else die?
Alex: Why don't you tell me your speech? Your graduation speech.
Becca: I can take it.
Alex: Becca, just... just give me your speech. You worked hard on it. So, you should do it. Right now. Come on.
Becca: Today's the day my life begins. Today I become a citizen of the world. Today I become a grown up. Today I become accountable to someone other than myself and my parents. Accountable for more than my grades. Today, I become accountable to the world. To the future. To all the possibilities that life has to offer. Starting today, my job is to show up wide eyed and willing and ready. For what, I don't know. For anything. For everything. To take on life. To take on love. To take on the responsibility and possibility. Today, my friends, our lives begin. And, I for one can't wait.
