00:29:53Well, at least I tried to write it.
00:29:55Yeah, I'm not fair.
00:30:15It's not terrible.
00:30:16You know, that's the nicest thing you've ever said about me.
00:30:24Wait, you actually read her favorite book?
00:30:27Yeah, I did.
00:30:29Very romantic.
00:30:30Very gushy.
00:30:32A lot of stargazing.
00:30:34And just a lot of feelings in general.
00:30:36Yeah, that's called literature, Brad.
00:30:42Well, I see why she likes it.
00:30:46You really like this girl, huh?
00:30:48You know, everybody says that they don't care what other people think about them, and it's not true.
00:30:54You know, but Chloe really just...
00:30:56She does her own thing.
00:30:59You know, she's focused on something other than herself, and I don't know.
00:31:03I think that's really cool.
00:31:08That one's perfect for you.
00:31:10Isn't this a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio?
00:31:16Yeah, yeah.
00:31:17That's the one.
00:31:18Well, why do you think this is perfect for me?
00:31:24Because you're always chasing your green light.
00:31:27Hey.
00:31:32Hey, you are.
00:31:34I'm looking for you.
00:31:36Well, that's my cue.
00:31:38For real.
00:31:53Hey.
00:31:57I've been thinking about you.
00:32:01Really?
00:32:02Must be hard with Samantha's tongue so far down your throat.
00:32:05What?
00:32:07Hey, babe, look at me.
00:32:09Hey, I promise.
00:32:11Look, you are the only person that matters to me.
00:32:15Okay.
00:32:16Why?
00:32:19Why what?
00:32:20Why do I matter?
00:32:22What are you into?
00:32:25I'm into you, of course.
00:32:26You're okay, but why do you like me?
00:32:33You're really pretty.
00:32:35And, like, you weren't always this pretty.
00:32:39Like, I'll be honest with you.
00:32:41I didn't even realize we were in the same class for a while.
00:32:46Hey, but now, you were, like, really hot.
00:32:51Yeah.
00:32:53Anything else?
00:32:54Uh, what?
00:32:56Are you, like, trying to confuse me?
00:32:59Okay, wait.
00:33:02You're beautiful.
00:33:03Oh, you already said that.
00:33:07Babe, what?
00:33:07You know, everybody says that they don't care what other people think about them, and it's not true.
00:33:21You know, Chloe really just, she does her own thing.
00:33:25I think that's really cool.
00:33:27I wish you saw me the way you see her, Brad.

00:49:27Because I wanted him for myself?
00:49:31Okay.
00:49:32Here you go.
00:49:33You'll wear this on your date.
00:49:35I'll feed you the lines.
00:49:36You repeat them.
00:49:37No improvising.
00:49:38Got it?
00:49:40Just repeat them.
00:49:40No improvising.
00:49:41Okay?
00:49:42What if I think it's something really funny to say?
00:49:45Go on, just keep it to yourself.
00:49:47Okay.
00:49:48Yep.
00:49:48Wow, my very own dating coach.
00:49:51Yeah, you need it.
00:49:53So, you ready?
00:49:55I'm going to be ready.

00:50:09I'm right here.
00:50:11Okay, she's coming, she's coming.
00:50:12Brad Sterling, hi.
00:50:21It's great to officially meet you.
00:50:23You too.
00:50:25Okay.
00:50:28Wow, um...
00:50:30I can't believe it's you that's been writing me those letters.
00:50:36You know what they say.
00:50:39You know what they say.
00:50:40You can't judge a book by its cover.
00:50:44I guess you're right.
00:50:49Tell her she looks beautiful.
00:50:52You look beautiful.
00:50:55You know, that word is so overused
00:50:59that it's lost all of its meaning.
00:51:03But it has it with you.
00:51:09So...
00:51:09Why me?
00:51:11Why the letters?
00:51:14You're smart.
00:51:16You smell...
00:51:17I'm sorry?
00:51:21You smell like a...
00:51:23Like a wet dog in the summer.
00:51:26What?
00:51:28No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:51:29Say...
00:51:29I mean, in the sun.
00:51:31I mean...
00:51:31Is that better?
00:51:31No, no, no.
00:51:33Say, say, you're easy to talk to.
00:51:38Because you're so easy.
00:51:42Are you okay?
00:51:44Can you hear me?
00:51:45Brad, books.
00:51:46Tell her you liked her book.
00:51:48Pride and Olives.
00:51:49It's an overrated book.
00:51:53Uh-huh.
00:51:54It's overrated.
00:51:56I mean...
00:51:57Okay.
00:51:57No, no, no, no.
00:51:58Look.
00:51:59Oh, my God.
00:52:00Oh, my God.
00:52:00I knew this was a mistake, so...
00:52:02I think I'm just gonna go...
00:52:03No, no, no.
00:52:04Don't let her leave.
00:52:05Stole her.
00:52:06I'm gonna go and really think...
00:52:07Hold on.
00:52:08I'm sorry.
00:52:09I'm not sorry.
00:52:10It's just feel a little bit...
00:52:12Can I try again?
00:52:14I'm sorry.
00:52:15I wasn't being honest with you.
00:52:17Stick to the plan.
00:52:18What are you doing?
00:52:20Okay.
00:52:23Brad.
00:52:25Chloe.
00:52:27Hello?
00:52:29Hello?
00:52:30I just...
00:52:32You know, you're somebody that I kind of, uh...
00:52:34I've been watching and kind of...
00:52:37What do you say to me?
00:52:38Sorry.
00:52:42He's got this.
00:52:49And I'm losing him.
00:52:54Nothing.
00:52:56Not a word.
00:52:59Guess it went well.
00:53:01He doesn't need me anymore.
00:53:05I mean, he's so funny.
00:53:07He is.
00:53:08I mean, yeah.
00:53:09I just feel...
00:53:10I mean, I won't be anything.
00:53:11I mean, I don't know what it looks like.
00:53:27Oh, really?
00:53:28Let me guess.
00:53:29You were just tutoring her in anatomy.
00:53:32Hey.
00:53:32Come on.
00:53:33I'm...
00:53:34Really?
00:53:36Okay, look.
00:53:39There's...
00:53:39Obviously, there's enough of me for all of you.
00:53:43Gotta learn to share.
00:53:47Oh, my God.
00:53:49You're actually dumber than I thought.
00:53:52What?
00:53:54You were never special, Dan.
00:53:57I just thought you were.
00:53:59But reality check?
00:54:02You're just another generic jock with a two brain cell capacity and an expiration date.
00:54:08Yeah.
00:54:09And years from now, you'll just be that guy at the bar washed up talking about the high school games that nobody remembers.
00:54:18Right here, Dan.
00:54:20Right?
00:54:21This is your peak.
00:54:22It's all downhill from here.
00:54:26Dan the man!
00:54:27Yeah!
00:54:29Woo!
00:54:43Dan, I thought I told you.
00:54:45I don't want another dumb, over-box guys coming...
00:56:59How was your class?
00:57:00It was good.
00:57:01Ready for practice tonight?
00:57:02Yeah.
00:57:03Hey!
00:57:04Mia!
00:57:05Hey, I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:57:07I am Chloe.
00:57:09This is Mia, my good friend.
00:57:12And Mia, this is Chloe, my girlfriend.
00:57:16Hi.
00:57:17Brad talks about you all the time.
00:57:20Yeah, same.
00:57:22Um...
00:57:24I actually had something to tell you.
00:57:26Yeah, what's up?
00:57:28Uh...
00:57:29I...
00:57:30I...
00:57:31I broke up with Dan.
00:57:33Oh, really?
00:57:34Haha.
00:57:35Well, that's great.
00:57:36He's, uh...
00:57:37a total moral.
00:57:38Yeah, I'm sure you deserve much better.
00:57:40Yeah.
00:57:41Well, see you guys around.
00:57:43Sure.
00:57:44Hey, Mia, why don't you, uh...
00:57:45come to the gateway?
00:57:46Yeah.
00:57:47I'll...
00:57:48I'll sit with you if you want.
00:57:49Yeah, it'll be great.
00:57:50Maybe.
00:57:51Um...
00:57:52See you guys around.
00:57:53Okay, I'll be here.
00:58:15Hell of a love story, isn't it?
00:58:17Mm-hmm.
00:58:18Shane, it's all a lie.
00:58:20I figured out why you were writing those letters.
00:58:22Shut up.
00:58:23Here's the deal.
00:58:24You tell Chloe the truth.
00:58:26That you're the one writing all those sweet little letters.
00:58:29Or I do.
00:58:30And if I do, the principal gets your whole file.
00:58:37Now.
00:58:38Go on.
00:58:39Okay.
00:58:40Sorry.
00:58:41Excuse me.
00:58:42Just coming through.
00:58:43Sorry.

00:58:55Hi.
00:58:56I'm so glad you're here.
00:58:57Yeah.
00:58:58Um...

00:59:29Good luck.
00:59:30I got this.
00:59:35What were you going to say, Mia?
00:59:40I need to tell you.
00:59:43I've been here.
00:59:44Go on.
00:59:44Tell her.
00:59:46Oh, I knew you'd chicken out, but I didn't write those letters.
00:59:57What?
00:59:58Our little ghostwriter here did.
01:00:00Every word.
01:00:02They were just messing with you.
01:00:03Both of us.
01:00:04Chloe, it's not like that.
01:00:06At all.
01:00:07So, everything was a lie?
01:00:10It wasn't a lie.
01:00:11At all.
01:00:12Oh, Chloe.
01:00:15Wait.
01:00:16Wait, I...
01:00:18No.
01:00:22Where are you going, man?
01:00:28Unbelievable.
01:00:29All this work, Captain Love's story, ditches the team, got some stupid girl.
01:00:39God.
01:00:42I bet he's been fucking desk rat as a new chick found out.
01:00:46No, actually, I heard she's been screwing Professor Luke for her grades.
01:00:56Probably half the faculty.
01:00:57It's a shame that, uh, a pathetic whore cost us the game.
01:01:04What the hell did you just say?
01:01:07Relax, man.
01:01:08If you're into leftovers, that's your call.
01:01:20What the hell's your problem?
01:01:29Don't you ever talk about her like that again.
01:01:30Brad?
01:01:46What about me?
01:01:47You've just told me everything, huh?
01:01:49No.

01:04:10Yeah. Brad lied, okay? But he didn't mean to hurt you.
01:04:14It's not up to the liar to decide whether the lie hurts or not.
01:04:17I know. I know. He just fell for you so hard. He didn't even know how to act like himself.
01:04:25I mean, look at everything he's done to make you happy.
01:04:27Has anyone in the school ever done anything like that for anyone?
01:04:34I know. I know he doesn't erase what he's done, but...
01:04:39Should it at least mean something?
01:04:44You think he really cares about me?
01:04:48I know he does. And I know you do, too.

01:21:28i had a whole speech planned
01:21:31about
01:21:32hard work and
01:21:34dedication and
01:21:36all the usual stuff you're supposed to say
01:21:38i've spent so much of my life writing words for other people
01:21:43it feels wrong not to write this moment for myself
01:21:47i want to talk about love
01:21:49love
01:21:53love
01:21:53isn't some perfect story
01:21:55with a guaranteed happy ending
01:21:57it's confusing
01:21:59terrifying

01:22:06and over again
01:22:07because suddenly
01:22:09someone else's happiness matters more than your own
01:22:15and sometimes the scariest part isn't even falling for someone it's
01:22:19letting them see you
01:22:22all of you
01:22:23and trusting that they won't walk away
