It's probably in one of these boxes. How can you tell? Nothing is labeled. That's why you have to open them. Why can't we just buy a new camera? Well, do you have the money? Sorry, hey, most of mine went to the cruise. So, it's in three months. I'm not buying a GoPro.

Why not? They're not that expensive. Because I like my camera. It wouldn't kill you to get a new one. There's nothing wrong with mine. What is with you in keeping shit? You're as bad as your stepdad. Wait a second. Your ex didn't buy you this camera, did she?

No. Just the digital camera. She never bought me a video camera. Uh-huh. Well, you hang on to that digital camera like it's attached to you. I do not. You bring it everywhere. I brought it to two birthday dinners. And to Universal and SeaWorld and both weddings.

You also brought it to my dad's dinner party and to the zoo. People bring cameras. You have a camera on your phone. Use it like normal people do. You act like you're 60. Dark rooms aren't really a thing anymore, babe. You're giving me a lot of shit about pictures. So?

So it's interesting coming from a girl who has to have a selfie or a pick of her food every day and posts it to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr. That's what people do. It takes you an hour to update every account with one picture. No, it doesn't. Everything is linked now. Then how come it takes you so long? Oh yeah, the filters. Everything's got to be perfectly lit, the contrast just right.

Keep it up. If I find out that Amy or any one of your exes gave you this camera, I'm going to make you buy a new one. A GoPro. I'm not getting a GoPro. I need to save money. The trip's not even fully funded yet. We have plenty of time. Says the girl who's not chipping in. You said it was my birthday present. Your fault. Shouldn't have aimed so high. What a horrible boyfriend I am. I didn't say that. Just don't come. plain because you go above and beyond.

Again. What a horrible boyfriend. You know I'm kidding. I know. Oh, man. Tell me it's not this big bulky thing. That's it. This camera's huge.

Chill out. No, it isn't. Let me see it. How old is it? I told you. a few years. What? It still uses tapes?

I hope you're willing to carry that thing around the whole time. I'll be using my phone. This is for more than just the trip. You know I want to get back into making shorts. For YouTube? For anything. Well, you'd better buy more tapes. Oh, maybe we can pick some up at Radio Shack on the way home.

Shut up. Shane. Did you find it? Yeah, Mom. Thanks. Okay, can we go now? I have class soon. Yeah, let me just grab all the tapes I have and make sure... What? Jesus. What?

I thought... I thought I just saw someone standing in the corner. What? Where? No, no one's there. It's dark up here. Can you not creep me out? You know, I'm... I don't like attics. Sorry. It was nothing.

Okay. Let's go. I have class. Okay.
