Andrew Largeman (Braff) wakes up from a dream, in which he apathetically sits on a crashing plane, to a telephone message from his father (Holm), telling Andrew that he needs to return home because his mother has just died.
Andrew leaves Los Angeles and returns home to New Jersey to attend the funeral. He recognizes the gravediggers as old friends Mark (Sarsgaard) and Dave (Alex Burns), who invite him to a party that night at the house of an old friend of theirs, Jesse (Armando Riesco). After smoking marijuana, he takes ecstasy at the party but remains detached. He is impressed by the abundant usage of drugs, but this is the last time he’s seen taking any. At home, Andrew has his father book a doctor’s appointment for headaches he’s been having.
The morning after the party, Andrew proceeds to the appointment. In the waiting room, he meets a girl named Sam (Portman), who is a pathological liar. She later explains that most times she doesn’t know why she lies and will always admit them afterward. In Andrew’s meeting with his doctor (Ron Leibman), it’s revealed that Andrew has been on lithium and other mood stabilizers, as well as antidepressants, for his entire adult life, but has stopped taking them. He also says that his father, who is also his psychiatrist, put him on the medications in the first place. Andrew finds Sam outside of the office, eventually offering her a ride home. Sam invites him into her house, and he meets her mother, who inadvertently reveals that Sam is an epileptic. During the visit, Andrew and Sam share a moment in which she explains her habit of occasionally making random motions and sounds, to fulfill her desire of doing something “completely original” that “no one else has ever done before”. They then go outside to bury Sam’s recently deceased pet hamster Jelly, upon which Andrew tells Sam of his mother’s death and Sam tearfully eulogizes her hamster. After returning home, Andrew’s father confronts him and is insistent that they have a talk before Andrew leaves town.
In the next scene, Andrew and Jesse sit in the cemetery as Mark digs another grave. Jesse idly describes how their town is “messed up” because of prevalent drug use and compares it to Brave New World, which he claims is by “Aldous Huxtable”. Meanwhile, Andrew watches in shock as Mark uncaringly steals jewelry from the corpse he’s burying. Read more
