00:00Why am I not surprised?
00:18Glad to see entitlement is alive and well.
00:20By all means, park where you like, your majesty.
00:22Sorry, I just thought you might need like a bigger spot.
00:26No, Tristan, that would be you and your massively oversized eco.
00:29C'mon baby, leave reject Riley alone.
00:32Everybody knows social leprosy is contagious.
00:46Aren't we supposed to be coasting as seniors?
00:49My financial aid app got rejected, so if I actually want to go to college, I gotta start saving.
00:54Okay, but we have more pressing issues.
00:57Like making sure you have a guy on your arm for prom.
01:00Or even better, a full time boyfriend so you can finally cash in that V card.
01:05Yeah, like any guy at the school would want to date an untouchable.
01:07Okay, go on.
01:08Okay, go on.
01:09It's fine.
01:10I have all the romance I need.
01:11Rochester, Heathcliff, Mr. Darcy.
01:16That was probably the most action she's gotten, ever?
01:19So what, you're like a bookworm for hire now?
01:24Wow, I can read.
01:25Sarcasm and desperation.
01:26You know, you really are like the whole package aren't you?
01:29Honestly, I don't know what I ever did to Golden Boy.
01:39He's been like this since the second grade.
01:41He tagged on my pigtails one day at recess and never looked back.
01:44Usually that means a guy likes you.
01:46Yeah, well I'm not exactly fond of dumb jocks with poor motor skills, so...
01:59So, I'm thinking, jewel tones for prom, emerald green is like so our color.
02:22Yeah.
02:23Yeah, you know.
02:29So, next party, I'm thinking you definitely make sure you have something to drink other than beer.
02:36I'm thinking like a spiked kombucha might be nice.
02:38Okay.
02:39Yeah, that sounds good.
02:40Also, I'm going shopping tonight, so I'm gonna need your car and also your credit card.
02:43If that works for you, it works for me.
02:45Yup.
02:46Yup?
02:47Mhm.
02:54Adams, we need to talk.
02:57I, um...
03:00I, uh, I think I need you to tutor me.
03:02No, thank you.
03:06Look, I'm not exactly thrilled either, but...
03:09If I don't get my English grade up, I get kicked off the football team.
03:13So...
03:14Aw, it's not my problem.
03:16Yeah, but you, like, need the money, don't you?
03:19Yeah, there's no way in hell I'm tutoring you.
03:21You hate me.
03:22You've been a massive asshole to me since we were seven, and you literally used to put kick me signs on my back.
03:27That was messing with you.
03:28That was a joke.
03:29Yeah, like I said, asshole.
03:31Wait.
03:32Wait.
03:35What if I paid you double your rate?
03:37Double?
03:40Come on, Adams, you walk around the school acting like you're smarter than everybody.
03:44This is your chance to prove it.
03:47Fine.
03:48But we play by my rules, understand?
03:50Yeah.
03:51If we're actually gonna do this, I'm in charge.
03:55So rule number one, you do whatever I say.
03:58Rule number two, I want half the money up front in cash.
04:01And rule number three...
04:03Nobody finds out about it.
04:05Why not?
04:06Because hanging out with you is kinda like social suicide.
04:09Jesus.
04:10Who are you, Regina George?
04:12You're so concerned with your precious reputation.
04:14I'm serious, though.
04:16Our little secret.
04:18Deal?
04:21Deal.
04:22Meet me in the library after practice and don't be late.
04:27Yes, ma'am.
04:32I told you Tristan likes you.
04:33Shh.
04:34First of all, shush.
04:35Second of all, it's just tutoring.
04:37First comes tutoring, then comes prom, then comes marriage.
04:41Right, yeah.
04:42He literally told me he wants to keep it a secret because he's embarrassed to be seen with me.
04:47And besides, he only goes for brainless and bitchy.
04:50Look, I don't blame you for liking him.
04:52He's gorgeous and...
04:54I do not like him.
04:57No.
05:01So, what's with the goo goo eyes, hm?
05:03Okay, fine.
05:04He's very conventionally attractive.
05:07But he's also dumb as rocks and a total dick.
05:09You know, Darcy started off as a dick, too.
05:13Just saying.
05:15Prom is in two weeks.
05:16It takes man tens of thousands of years to evolve.
05:19People can surprise you, Riley.
05:21If you give them a chance.
05:22One more chance.
05:25One more chance.
05:26One more chance...
05:28One more chance.
05:29I don't know.
05:59careful items you keep looking at me like that i might think you like what you see
06:10you mean a dumb jock who made me wait 20 minutes for them
06:13okay i'm sorry i'm sorry all right practice friend late but i'm i'm here now and i promise to be good
06:21pretty please
06:27if you're late again this is over yes ma'am
06:34okay so if mr darcy was like into elizabeth the whole time why'd need you say something to her
06:45it's dramatic irony we know that darcy has feelings for her but he won't admit
06:51them to her or himself because they belong to different social classes
06:55okay so he thought like if he got into a relationship with her it would
07:00i don't know ruin his reputation ding ding gold star he's smarter than he looks folks
07:06they ever get tired of being such a know-it-all never
07:22oh shit god

23:23riley
23:26everything okay
23:30everything's fine
23:30you're flushed you're flushed sure you don't want to go see a nurse okay then back to mr wickham
23:38austin is writing about the very slow sometimes painful process of understanding another human
23:44being that's what makes the book enduring not the setting not the dresses or the balls but the
23:51emotional honesty of watching two people become worthy of each other and it's not just elizabeth and
23:57darcy consider how austin treats the secondary characters mr collins who is absurdly self-important
24:04lydia who is impulsive to the point of danger
24:15please like don't hold back at all you need at least a c plus on your term paper to pass english
24:20and as your tutor i know you could use a better word than just good to describe jane austin's writing

30:57We're all your loyal subjects.
31:00I mean, friends.
31:01I don't give a shit.
31:20Fast learner.
31:21Did I do something wrong?
31:29No, you didn't do anything wrong. It's just...
31:33The next step is, like, a really big step, Riley.
31:48I know.
31:50No, it's, like, one that you can't ever untake.
31:55It's not a word.
31:57From here, I thought we were making progress with our tutoring sessions.
31:59Can you just be serious with me for a second?
32:01I am.
32:02I want to take the next step, and I want to take it with you.
32:07Do you want me?
32:09Yeah. More than you know.
32:11I am.
32:17I want to give you a couple more.
32:21To be estimates
32:23It's never gonna be the same
32:27Even though I loved you, I was all in vain
32:31You know I've got a break in the world
32:34Put me in the water, tell me I'm renamed
32:38I yourself reclaimed
32:42So, uh, how do you feel?
32:49Good.
32:50Good.
32:51I know you as my English tutor
32:54Are gonna use some lame-ass word like good
32:56I feel stellar
33:00Magnificent
33:03Sublime
33:04I feel special
33:06You made me feel special
33:08Oh my fucking god
33:17Did you guys just fuck?
33:18Are you kidding me?
33:20Bro, since when are you into nerds?
33:23Or fat chicks?
33:24Fuck off, Chad
33:25So you broke up with me to go dumpster diving?
33:29Really, Tristan?
33:30That's fucking pathetic
33:31Like, honestly embarrassing
33:34Tristan
33:36I guess the party's over, guys
33:45So let's leave these two lovebirds to it
33:47It was a joke
33:51Obviously, I'm not
33:56I'm not
33:58I'm with Adams
33:59I'm messing with her
34:02I'm messing with her
34:04Dude
34:05That is cold as hell
34:08I didn't realize prudes had so many levels to pathetic
34:14So all that shit about trusting you, that was bullshit, huh?
34:22You're a coward, you know that?
34:23Yeah, I think you should go
34:26Baby, I didn't know you had that in you
34:42That was really mean
34:44I loved it
34:46So now that you're done slumming it for the bit
34:50What do you say we get back on track for prom?
34:56That fucking dick
34:58Honestly, it's my fault
34:59Riley, it is 100% not your fault
35:02No, I should have known better
35:03I shouldn't have let my guard down, you know?
35:06Once an asshole, always an asshole
35:07Look who's back on top
35:16I guess all is right in the world again
35:18You okay?
35:31I'm fine
35:37Damn you, Darcy
35:42Hey, can I just, can I talk to you?
35:56Whoa, in public?
35:57Riley, we both agreed to keep this a secret
35:59I mean, is that really how you wanted people to find out?
36:01No
36:02What I want is someone who isn't embarrassed to be with me
36:05Someone who doesn't live and die by his high school reputation
36:08Someone I can trust
36:09Okay, I get it
36:10I fucked up
36:11I fucked up, okay?
36:13It's just what we had
36:13It felt really good
36:14It felt special
36:15And I don't want to ruin that by letting other people into it
36:17Right, I bet
36:18Here
36:20That's all you paid me for tutoring
36:22Take it
36:23I'm not taking that
36:23You need that for college, huh?
36:25I would rather work four shitty jobs to go to school
36:27Than take a single cent from you
36:29Tristan?
36:44Oh correct
36:49Tristan?
36:57No, while in your mother's library our true colors start to show
37:03A stolen kit, a whispered word, then silence in the hall
37:10Is this just education, or am I about to fall in private lessons?
37:19All right, Adams. You drive a very hard bargain.
37:23Tutoring won't work. Shakespeare won't work.
37:26So, what about prom?
37:35I'd love to.
37:38Yeah, dear.
37:40Thanks.
37:40Does your lack of appetite have anything to do with the fact that Riley hasn't been coming around anymore?
38:06Not so fast, mister. What happened?
38:11People found out about us.
38:14About what? The tutoring?
38:15Oh, right. I hate to say I told you so, but...
38:22Yes, okay, I get it. You told me so.
38:23Yeah, people found out about us, and I may have said it was a joke.
38:29Yeah, I know. I fucked up.
38:36Honestly, I think I got scared because, like, I really like her, and I feel like I'm supposed to be this, um...
38:46What is this supposed to crap? Since when do you let other people decide what's right for you?
38:52Since I want to keep my friends.
38:54No, seriously, like, people expect me to be this star football player and this guy that only dates girls like Amanda, you know, and throw ragers and get fucked up, but, you know, not too fucked up, because that would be just too much.
39:06It's like, it's like people have this idea of me, this perfect version of me in their heads, and if I don't live up to that, if I don't live up to that, then I'm nothing.
39:15But you're not nothing. If they are your real friends, they will accept you no matter what.
39:23I don't think it matters anyway. Riley made it perfectly clear she wants nothing to do with me, so...
39:28I don't know, I don't blame her, either.
39:31But it's not too late. You like her. You fight for her. Out in the open.
39:37Hey, uh-uh, asshole.
40:00Just leave her alone.
40:01I just gotta give her one thing. Just one thing.
40:07You're right.
40:14Tristan, I...
40:16Withering Heights?
40:19Looks boring.
40:20Yeah, perfect, because it's not for you.
40:26Honey, what are you doing? We discussed this. You're supposed to be done with this loser.
40:29Amanda, you're actually the loser.
40:34I'm an idiot, okay?
40:35And I know we have a bunch of rules and everything, but I don't want to keep this a secret anymore, Riley.
40:41Like, I like you a lot, and I can't...
40:43I can't hide that.
40:46Am I hearing this right? You're...
40:47You're choosing her over me?
40:50Are you fucking kidding? Tristan, this is not a good look.
40:53Yeah, well, good thing I don't care about what you think or anyone else thinks of me anymore.
40:58Fine.
40:59Enjoy being a nobody.
41:01I'm sure you and Reject Riley will be very happy together.
41:03I hope so.
41:12This is for everything you've done for me, because you won't, you know, accept any of my money.
41:18I can't accept this.
41:20No, no, no, you can't, you can't.
41:21You know, I'm giving it to you because you're the only one that will actually, you know, take good care of it.
41:25Riley Adams, you are the best thing that's ever happened to me.
41:35Chase.
41:36No, I can't think of a better word.
41:38Riley Adams, you are the most captivating, the most electrifying, impressive, and magnificent girl I've ever met in my life.
41:46And I should have said this a long time ago, but you want to go to prom with me?
42:04You actually think this is going to work?
42:06I do.
42:07And I want to, I want to try to make it work, don't you?
42:10I do, but can I trust you?
42:15I promise you, you can trust me.
42:18You really want to?
42:20Yes, yes, I really want to.
42:22Now can you please just get out of your own way and let me.
42:24I don't think I can.
42:25You can, because I will do to you.
42:34Okay, fine.
42:36I'll go to the prom with you just a moment.
42:38Yes.
42:39But there's something I have to do first.
42:42Yes.
42:55Yes.
43:12Yes.
43:20Want to go to prom with me?
