Scottie: I don't like eggs.

Matt: Why didn't you tell me before I made them?

Scottie: I thought they were for you.

Matt: Good morning. How you feeling? Hung over? Why am I not surprised? I thought you were supposed to be getting your act together.

Alex: I have gotten my act together. I was just drinking. I've been doing really well, actually. Nobody ever seems to notice that. Grades are better. I was in that stupid play you guys didn't bother to see. Do you even remember the name of it? That's what I thought. So what? What if I got drunk on the one night you happened to stop by? So fucking what?

Matt: Hey, hey, watch your language around Scottie.

Alex: I don't care.

Matt: Anyway, listen, it's nice to see you. Welcome home. Here. You want some eggs?

Alex: I can't believe that. What? Oh, my God.

Matt: Hey, Alex?

Alex: What'd she say?

Matt: Can I talk to you for a minute?

Alex: Uh. The pool's really dirty. Wait, what?

Matt: Hey, I really need to talk to you.

Alex: She didn't say... she didn't say anything to me. Oh, my God, I can't believe she... Hey, uh, yeah, yeah, I gotta go. Okay, I'll see you later. What day does the pool guy come?

Matt: He comes... You know, I don't know when he comes.

Alex: Awesome. Sid's coming over.

Matt: Who's Sid?

Alex: A really good friend from Punahou. We were in school together for years.

Matt: Oh. Okay.

Alex: He wants to be here for me with all this shit happening.

Matt: Do I know his parents?

Alex: Nope. He might stay over too. Is that cool?

Scottie: Hey, Alex, over here.

Alex: What the fuck? Get out of my underwear, you freak.

Matt: No. Okay, no, no, no.

Scottie: Don't I look divine?

Matt: Back inside. Put on a swimsuit.

Scottie: Why?

Matt: Now.

Alex: Real good job you're doing.

Matt: That's part of why I brought you here. You have to help me. I don't know what to do with her.

Alex: Maybe if you spent more time with her, she wouldn't act like such a complete spaz. Get her out of town. Go camp on Kauai. That's what Mom used to do with me whenever I was losing it.

Matt: Hey, listen. No, listen. Listen to me. Your mother's not well.

Alex: Yeah, obviously.

Matt: No. They just told me she's not gonna wake up. We know for sure now. The doctors are gonna stop caring for her. Your mother wanted it this way. She has this...she has this will, see, that says that we have to do it this way. We both do. You understand what I'm saying? That's why I got you. Honey, we're letting her go.

Alex: Why did you have to tell me in the goddamn pool?

Matt: Alex. Alex.

Alex: What? What do you want?

Matt: I just found out yesterday. We have to go through this thing together, you and Scottie and me. And I have to go around and tell people what's happening. Family and a few close friends. Sometimes I'm gonna need you to come with me. Sometimes I need you to watch Scottie.

Alex: You want me to go around with you and tell people that Mom's gonna die? What's the point of that? Breaking the news, watching them cry, dealing with their emotions? How depressing is that gonna be? Just call them.

Matt: Alex, nobody wants to do any of this. But we have to tell your grandpa and Tutu and a few friends. They have the right to know, and they have the right to say goodbye.

Alex: I don't wanna talk about Mom with anyone.

Matt: Look, whatever you two fought about over Christmas, you have to drop it. Grow up. You love your mother, your mother loves you.

Alex: I can't drop it.

Matt: You have to.

Alex: You really don't have a clue, do you? Dad... Dad, mom was cheating on you. That is what we fought about. When I was home at Christmas, I caught her with a guy. It made me sick to see her near you. I went back to school thinking that that was it, that I was just done with her. I was gonna call and tell you everything and...and then the accident happened and... I was waiting until she woke up, I guess. You didn't even suspect, right? Right? It disgusted me too. You're always so busy.

Matt: "Caught her with a guy" what does that mean?

Alex: I was on my way to swim in the Black Point pool with Brandy and suddenly I see Mom and some douche bag walking into a house. His house, I guess.

Matt: Just some guy, it could be anybody.

Alex: No, he had his hand on her ass. It was gross.

Matt: Then what?

Alex: Then nothing. Then they went into the house. A few days later, I told her I knew what she was doing.

Matt: And?

Alex: And first, she acted like she had no idea what I was talking about. Like I'm fucking blind. And then she got, like, super mad and yelled and denied it. That was when I decided that I didn't want anything more to do with her.

Matt: Who is he?

Alex: I don't know, some guy.

Matt: What's he look like?

Alex: Dark hair.

Matt: Watch your sister.

夏威夷历史简介

“夏威夷”一词源于波利尼西亚语。公元4世纪左右，一批波利尼西亚人乘独木舟破浪而至，在此定居，为这片岛屿起名“夏威夷”，意为“原始之家”。最早发现该群岛的欧洲人是西班牙的胡安•盖塔诺，而真正使夏威夷为世人所知的是英国航海家库克船长(Captain James Cook)，他于1778年登上夏威夷群岛。

1795年，卡美哈美哈一世(Kamehameha)征服了夏威夷其他部落，建立夏威夷王国。1882年，卡拉卡瓦国王下令建造约拉尼宫(Iolani Palace)。卡拉卡瓦国王的妹妹、夏威夷最后一任国王也曾经居住在这座王宫里，现在王宫被辟为夏威夷博物馆。

1893年，一群政客和商人在美国人的帮助下发动政变。在美国军队的威胁下，夏威夷王国的女王被迫退位。1898年美国西班牙战争后，美国吞并了波多黎各、夏威夷、关岛和菲律宾。二战后，菲律宾独立，而关岛和波多黎各继续是美国的领土，而夏威夷在1959年成为美国的第50个州。

1993年，经美国国会批准，时任美国总统的克林顿签署法案，为100年前推翻夏威夷王国而道歉，承认夏威夷土著从未直接放弃对夏威夷的主权要求。

在夏威夷的统一通用语言是英文，身为一个旅客，在夏威夷岛，您很少听到居民用别种语言交谈，可是当您仔细聆听夏威夷当地的英文，总觉得和正统的英文有哪里的不一样。其实，夏威夷的英文，经过历史的转变以及其它的外来因素，不仅融合了当地的传统语言，还可以从“夏威夷式”的英文中听见各国俚语以及其它的外来语。

除了官方的共通语言——英文之外，您还会听到一种类似土话的语言，那就是所谓的夏威夷语。现在的夏威夷语，据语言学家研究，与波利西亚语的语言渊源十分的相近，整个夏威夷群岛上，目前还有大约一万人使用夏威夷语，夏威夷语的语调优美，整体的语言架构十分简单，使用大量的母音和不断重复的子音构成，外国人都可以简单的学会几句夏威夷语。
