I do not want to grow up

As the years go by, we have all gained age, but some people don't want to grow up. Megan is just such a one.

28-year-old Megan attended a party for 10 years after graduation from high school. The classmates were busy with their careers, getting married and having children, but she should still stay in high school. Participating in bachelor parties, teasing Buddha statues, and making out-of-date jokes are particularly out of place. At the wedding of a friend, she found out that her father was doing messy things with his friend's mother, which made her full of fear in the adult world. When her boyfriend discussed marriage and clarified the relationship between the two, she lied about participating in a professional seminar and escaped from reality.

In fact, she didn't go far. She just stayed at the home of Annika, a high school girl she met by chance. Annika lived with her father. Her mother divorced her father seven years ago, and she rarely contacted her mother. Her father, Craig, is a lawyer who works well and is serious and lively when verifying Megan's identity. She seems to be living back when she was disciplined in high school. With Annika, she seemed to have grown up, and accompanied her to visit Annika's mother and buy high school evening clothes. She became a transitional role in this family, like the daughter of father Craig, and like the mother of girl Annika, in a trance, she likes this vague feeling.

Her boyfriend is a warm boy, casually playing with her waywardness. When she returned, she eloped to Las Vegas according to their previous agreement without notifying her relatives and friends. When they were about to board the plane, their boyfriend sent their photos to the group of high school classmates. This seemingly normal behavior became the last straw to crush the camel. She confessed that she is a snake, but the process of molting takes longer than others. She left her boyfriend and turned to attend Annika's graduation party, where she encouraged Annika to be brave and pursue it. At the same time, she also returned to Craig's house to pursue her uncle complex.

In the great world, a fixed rule has been formed. If you go retrograde, you will be criticized. Three thousand floating worlds, inclusive of all rivers, everyone who follows his heart, rather than compromises, should be respected.

If you don't want to grow up, shed your skin later, find yourself to be yourself, you are the only you.

    ... ah how so beautiful! love it. This is the American version of "もらとりあむタマ子". The lines are thoughtful and poignant. I have rarely seen Keira Knightley's play seriously, and I haven't seen her role other than a dry lady in ancient costumes. I didn't expect that a role like Megan (expressions, small movements and status) was well played.

    Just to see Uncle Sam. . .

Laggies quotes

  • Annika: [approaching her in parking lot] You look like you party.

    Megan: I... guess I'm technically coming from one.

    Annika: Cool. So... we can hardly believe this, but we all forgot our IDs. And I mean, normally we would just go buy some beer ourselves. But I guess we look under 21. Which is crazy, right? I know. Um, so, if we gave you some money or something, would you help us straighten this whole problem out and buy us a six-pack or something?

    Megan: Oh, God.

    Annika: Um, you could totally keep the change.

    Megan: [stunned] Okay. Someone did this for me when I was your age, so I'm gonna do it for you. It's like a rite of passage, right?

    Annika: Yeah. Yeah, ya know, I had a good feeling about you.

    Megan: That makes one of us.

  • Megan: It's not gonna make any sense, so just fucking sue me. I'm sorry, that wasn't meant to be a lawyer joke.

    Craig: It's not a joke if it's not insulting.
