Skateboarding is the one-hundred second video in the lonelygirl15 video series.

Transcript

(Jonas is in the library. He addresses the camera.)

Jonas: Okay, so, I have a little factoid for everybody today. I don't know if you knew this, but when somebody goes missing it actually takes a few weeks before they're classified as missing. Anyway, I was telling Bree about this last night, that is until she looked extremely bored, and then, she kind of excused herself and went to bed. I don't know, I was just trying to take her mind off of her parents. I just think that sometimes if you can just clear your head, you can see things from just a whole new perspective.

(The camera shows a skateboard outside, between two piles of cushions.)

Jonas: Okay, as soon as sleepyhead wakes up, I'm gonna teach her how to skate. But, the only problem is, skateboards, they don't have training wheels, so, I had to improvise.

(The camera cuts to Bree, who is wearing a hat.)

Bree: I can't believe I got talked into this.

Jonas: Huh?

Bree: At least I have a soft landing. If I fall.

Jonas: Uhh, yeah, when-when you fall.

(cut to Bree sitting on one of the piles of cushions.)

Jonas: Well that was-- (Bree gets up, Jonas reaches his hand out.) Are you okay, that was--that was a good solid first try, really. You bruised? You okay?

Bree: No. Think I'm gonna do this myself, I think I can do it better.

(Bree puts the board down, and puts one foot on it.)

Jonas: Need a little help there?

Bree: No! (Bree pauses.) How do I start?

(Neophilia by Rebel Rebel plays, as clips of Bree and Jonas skating are shown. The music stops, and Bree is sitting on the skateboard.)

Bree: It's the skateboard's fault. What kind of lame excuse for a skateboard is this, anyway?

Jonas: That's a Powell Peralta.

Bree: Powell?

Jonas: Mm-hmm. Okay, never mind.

(Cut to Bree in the library.)

Bree: So, Jonas taught me how to skate, with minimal scrapes and bruises. It's pretty nice of him, I think. He's still out there. Skating. So Daniel, I saw your last video. I think it was a really good idea that you left your house. As for the box that you found at my parent's house, that symbol looks really familiar. I think it's the company my dad used to work for or something. I don't know a lot about what he did, because he was very secretive. He always encouraged me heavily in the sciences. I think that was why he was such a strict disciplinarian. He wanted me to be a big shot at NASA or something. I miss him. He did research for a bunch of companies. He specializes in ribozymes. I like that word. I made a joke about Newton's laws of motion today, when I fell off my skateboard. You would've laughed. Bye! (Bree waves.)

Notes

• When Jonas tells Bree that the skateboard is a Powell Peralta, she seems to pause before she confusedly repeats, "Powell?". Bree might have just realized that her call to Powell's Dry Cleaners earlier was a puzzle.

• According to the California Department of Justice website, "There is NO waiting period for reporting a person missing. All California police and sheriffs' departments must accept any report, including a report by telephone, of a missing person, including runaways, without delay and will give priority to the handling of the report." So Jonas seems to have his facts wrong.
