00:00Why am I not surprised?
00:18Glad to see entitlement is alive and well. By all means park where you like your majesty.
00:22Sorry, I just I thought you might need like a bigger spot.
00:26No Tristan, that would be you and your massively oversized eco.
00:29Come on baby, leave reject Riley alone. Everybody 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, like 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 a date in Untouchable.
01:08It's fine. I have all the romance I need. Rochester, Heathcliff, Mr. Darcy.
01:13That was probably the most action she's gotten ever.
01:20So what, you're like a bookworm for hire now?
01:24Wow, I can read.
01:25Sarcasm and desperation, you know, you really are like the whole package aren't you?
01:29Ohhhh!
01:37Honestly, 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...
01:50So, I'm thinking jewel tones for prom,
02:19emerald green is like so our color.
02:22Yeah.
02:23Yeah, you know.
02:32So, 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, yeah, that sounds good.
02:39Also, I'm going shopping tonight, so I'm going to need your car and also your credit card.
02:43If that works for you, it works for me.
02:45Yup.
02:46Yup?
02:47Mhmm.
02:48Adams?
02:49We need to talk.
02:50I, um, I think I need you to tutor me.
02:51No thank you.
03:04I'm not exactly thrilled either, but if I don't get my English grade up, I get kicked off the football team. So...
03:10if I don't get my English grade up I get kicked off the football team so it's not
03:15my problem yeah but you like need the money don't you yeah there's no way in
03:21hell I'm tutoring you you hate me you've been a massive asshole to me since we
03:25were seven and you literally used to put kick me signs on my back I was messing
03:28with you that was the joke yeah like I said asshole wait what if I paid you
03:36double your rate double come on Adams you walk around the school acting like
03:43you're smarter than everybody this is your chance to prove it fine but we play
03:49by my rules understand if we're actually gonna do this I'm in charge so rule
03:56number one you do whatever I say rule number two I want half the money up front
04:01in cash and rule number three nobody finds out about it why not because
04:08hanging out with you is kind of like social suicide Jesus who are you Regina
04:12George you're so concerned with your precious reputation I'm serious though
04:17our little secret deal deal meet me in the library after practice and don't be
04:25really yes ma'am I told you Tristan likes you first of all shush second of all it's just
04:37tutoring first comes tutoring then comes from then comes marriage right yeah he
04:43literally told me he wants to keep it a secret because he's embarrassed to be seen
04:46with me and besides he only goes for brainless and bitchy look I don't blame you
04:52for liking him he's gorgeous and I do not like him no
05:00so what's with the Google eyes okay fine he's very conventionally attractive but
05:08he's also dumb as rocks and a total dick you know Darcy started off as a dick too
05:14just saying promise in two weeks it takes man tens of thousands of years to
05:19evolve people can surprise you Riley if you give them a chance
05:49careful items you keep looking at me like that I might think you like what you see you mean a dumb jock who made me wait 20 minutes for them
06:14okay I'm sorry I'm sorry I practice run late but I'm here now and I promise to be good
06:22pretty please
06:28if you're late again this is over yes ma'am
06:36okay so if Mr. Darcy was like into Elizabeth the whole time why didn't he just say something to her
06:47it's dramatic irony we know that Darcy has feelings for her but he won't admit them to her or himself
06:54because they belong to different social classes
06:56okay so he thought like if he got into a relationship with her it would ruin his reputation
07:03ding ding ding gold star he's smarter than he looks folks
07:07never get tired of being such a know-it-all
07:10never

14:14I'm not the only one who can look so hot.
14:23Let's have some fun, okay?
14:31Hey, you're looking good, Riley.
14:33Hey, I feel like I've never seen you with these things.
14:36Well, I'm usually not invited.
14:38I mean, I've just been busy tutoring and trying to save up for college next year.
14:43Oh, that's right. I think I've seen some of your flyers.
14:46You know, I could actually use a little help in English.
14:50Really?
14:52But don't you get A's?
14:54Yeah, but if it meant seeing you outside of school a little bit more, I wouldn't be mad at you.
14:58Hey, Adams, can I talk to you for a second?
15:01What the fuck are you doing?
15:11That asshole was trying to get in your pants. I was doing you a favor.
15:14So? Maybe I want him to.
15:16Not him!
15:17Why not, Chris? He's nice to me, unlike you.
15:20And besides, what do you care anyway?
15:22I don't care.
15:31You know, Drissie, baby, what are you...
15:33What are you doing with her?
15:46Nothing. We're, um, just...
15:48Nothing.
15:49Nothing.
15:52Right.
15:53Nothing.
16:14Okay, so you're telling me after he dragged you into his bedroom,
16:18he didn't have his Wicked Way with you?
16:21Boring.
16:23Luckily, there are other cherry popping fish in the sea.
16:25Rose, what did I tell you about mixing your metaphors?
16:2845.
16:2946.
16:30That's it, baby.
16:41Come on, purity ring.
16:43You could use the exercise.
16:48Maybe a little warm-up.
16:56Oops, sorry.
16:59Are you okay?
17:00I mean, she's just such an easy, I mean, big target.
17:05Shut the fuck up, Amanda.
17:10What did you just say to me?
17:11Like, don't talk to her like that.
17:12It's okay.
17:13What's the big deal?
17:15Why are you defending her?
17:16The big deal is I'm not going to prom with a bitch.
17:21Oh my gosh.
17:23What?
17:25Excuse you?
17:26You heard me, we're done.
17:29You're going to regret that.
17:30Jane Austen eats your heart out.
17:48Watch it.
17:49What?
17:50Where it'll knock some sense into you?
17:52Look, I don't know what you think is happening with you and Tristan.
17:54Nothing's happening.
17:55Shut up.
17:57You just think you're so clever, don't you?
18:00Let me make you a promise, Adams.
18:02If Tristan isn't making your life a living hell anymore,
18:06I will.
18:08Gym class today was just the start.
18:24Can you please stop doing that?
18:31Just let me know what's going on.
18:36I just wanted to say thank you for defending me earlier.
18:41You're welcome.
18:43So why did you end things with her?
18:47Um, because she's a bitch.
18:49Yeah, right.
18:50Totally.
18:54Don't leave him hanging, Adams.
19:01I don't know what I'm doing.
19:02What, you've never been on a date before?
19:08What, seriously?
19:09Well, is it really that much of a surprise?
19:14I'm a nerd, a loser, an untouchable, remember?
19:17Oh, come on, you're not that bad.
19:19Gee, thanks.
19:21No, I'm serious, you know, when you're not walking around the school acting like you're
19:26better than everybody and calling people assholes.
19:29Yeah, well, you try getting bullied for 10 years straight.
19:31Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire.
19:33So you want, like, you want experience, right?
19:49Because I can, like, totally give you experience.
19:52Are you?
19:53If this is a joke.
19:55It's not a joke, no.
19:56You're helping me with English, so why can I help you with, like, other things?
20:03What kind of things?
20:06Things you'll never find reading a book.
20:10Strictly educational, right?
20:12Yeah, strictly educational.
20:14No feelings.
20:18Good, because you know you're not really my type.
20:20Right back at you.
20:26So you ready to get down to business?
20:32Not so fast.
20:36Lesson number one.
20:38Good things come to those who wait.
20:41No, no, see, if we're going to do this, I'm in charge.
20:46Yeah?
20:47Okay, good girl.
20:48Let's try that again.
20:50So that's what all the books we're talking about.
20:59You're not going to swoon on me, are you?
21:15You're not going to swoon on me, are you?
21:18Was it okay?
21:21I mean, like, was it good?
21:22I haven't had my first kiss before, so I wasn't-
21:24Look, look, trust me, it was good.
21:26It was good.
21:28Trust you?
21:31Why should I?
21:32I promise you, you can trust me, it was good.
21:42What, no, no, what are you doing?
21:46What did I just say?
21:46I don't know.
21:50And like, anyway, isn't it time for you to teach me something?
21:54Come on.
21:55No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
22:09Now, who can give an example of subtext in Pride and Prejudice?
22:22Okay.
22:26Okay.
22:29Okay.
22:29Imagine if I was, you know, sitting even closer than I am now.
22:59I'd probably put my hand under the desk, rest it on your thigh, like right here, warm,
23:11still, and just enough pressure so you'd know I'm there.
23:17He'd shoot me a look that says stop, but we both know we wouldn't really want to.
23:24He'd try to inform me, try to focus, but I'd move higher and higher and higher.
23:40Riley, everything okay?
23:47Everything's fine.
23:49You're flushed.
23:51Sure you don't want to go see a nurse?
23:53Okay then, back to Mr. Wickham.
23:56Austin is writing about the very slow, sometimes painful process of understanding another human
24:02being.
24:03That's what makes the book enduring.
24:05Not the setting, not the dresses or the balls, but the emotional honesty of watching two people
24:11become worthy of each other.
24:13And it's not just Elizabeth and Darcy.
24:16Consider how Austin treats the secondary characters.
24:19Mr. Collins, who is absurdly self-important.
24:22Lydia, who is impulsive to the point of danger.
24:25Please, like, don't hold back at all.
24:35You need at least a C-plus on your term paper to pass English, and as your tutor, I know
24:42you could use a better word than just good to describe Jane Austen's writing.
24:46Great.
24:47Like, really great.
24:50Um, I don't know.
24:56Masterful.
24:57See?
24:58That's much better.
24:59How about a reward for all my hard work?
25:04Give me my pen back.
25:05This pen.
25:06You want this?
25:07Yes.
25:08I need that pen.
25:09You need this pen.
25:10Give me the pen back.
25:11Give me the pen back.
25:12Give me the pen back.
25:13Get the pen.
25:14Give it!
25:15That's right here!
25:20We should really get back to your paper.
25:32I think it's your turn for a little tutoring.
25:37Riley was here late.
25:50Yeah, we had a lot of studying to do.
26:04So, that's what the kids are calling it these days.
26:08Riley's just my English tutor.
26:11Right.
26:12Well, she seems like a keeper to me.
26:15Okay, well there's nothing to keep because we're not together.
26:18But you like her, right?
26:21Yeah.
26:23I don't want to talk about this.
26:26Did my dad call?
26:29He called earlier.
26:30He had to extend his business trip by a few days.
26:33Right, of course.
26:34I mean, why did he get me to play football if he's just going to miss every fucking game?
26:38I'm sorry, sweetheart.
26:40But Tristan, you need to do what you want.
26:42Not what other people want you to do.
26:44What the fuck?
26:59Oh my god!
27:09Girls, help her!
27:11Really, Amanda?
27:20Look, I was just trying to help.
27:22I mean, there's no shame in the game, honey.
27:24It is senior year.
27:25And you are still a virgin.
27:27It's so desperate times.
27:32Girls, let's go.
27:41Thanks.
27:42That was the least I could do.
27:55No, really.
27:56I owe you one.
27:57Well, you never did text me back about tutoring.
28:00We both know you don't need my help with English.
28:03All right.
28:04Fine.
28:05The drama club is doing Shakespeare in the Park this weekend.
28:08It'll be my date to the show.
28:10Really?
28:11I'd love to.
28:15Awesome.
28:16I'll text you, Riley.
28:17Okay, so he's no Mr. Darcy, but I'd take a Mr. Bingley like that any day.
28:35Hi.
28:36I know, but look.
28:37Screw her, okay?
28:38She's an asshole.
28:39I need her.
28:40I need negative energy.
28:41Yeah.
28:42You're gonna go in this movie.
28:43You're gonna have so much fun.
28:45Can I, uh, can I ask you something?
28:48That's what I'm here for.
29:03Not about English.
29:07I'm having a party here on the weekend.
29:08You wanna come?
29:10Well, what happened to being seen with me with social suicide?
29:14Seriously?
29:16King Tristan doesn't give a shit what people say.
29:19I don't know, maybe I'm, maybe I'm taking a page out of your book.
29:32Tristan.
29:33You know, maybe what I wanna do with you shouldn't be seen in public.
29:45I have plans tomorrow night.
29:46Can I talk?
29:47Tristan.
29:48I promise you won't regret it.
29:52I promise you won't regret it.
29:53I promise you won't regret it.
29:57Okay.
29:59Well ngĆ y-
30:08Is there my fault?
30:09Oh no, I don't know.
30:10Oh, Riley, there's one hell of a party.
30:25He is not my man.
30:28Really?
30:29Then why are you at Shakespeare in the Park with Chris?
30:32Girl, just admit it.
30:33You're down bad.
30:35I am not.
30:37Embrace it, Riley.
30:38It's a good thing.
30:39Okay?
30:42If he wants you, are we still on?
30:45Oh, my God.
30:46I'm so mad at you right now.
30:47Like, I just can't stop asking.
30:49If you're going to ask for a pause, it's not enough for you.
30:53Come on, let's go.
30:54Riley, let's dance.
30:57I'm going to get some air.
30:57I'm going to get some air.
31:08I knew I'd find you here.
31:11Great party.
31:13Then, um, why do I only want to be here with you?
31:18We're all your loyal subjects.
31:21I mean, friends.
31:22I don't give a shit.
31:27I don't give a shit.
31:27I don't give a shit.
31:57Did I do something wrong?
32:02No, you didn't do anything wrong.
32:03It's just...
32:04The next step is, like, a really big step, Riley.
32:09I know.
32:12No, it's, like, one that you can't ever untake.
32:15It's not a word.
32:17From here, I thought we were making progress with our tutoring sessions.
32:19Can you just be serious with me for a second?
32:21I am.
32:24I want to take the next step, and I want to take it with you.
32:27Do you want me?
32:29Yeah.
32:30More than you know.
32:31Put me on the other, because you can't be tamed.
32:36Silence underneath your flame.
32:39Cut the cords around me as I speak your name.
32:43It's never gonna be the same
32:47Even though I loved you, I was all in vain
32:50No, I'm not a breaking word
32:54Put me in the water, tell me I'm renamed
32:58By yourself, reclaimed
33:02So, uh, how do you feel?
33:09Good.
33:10Good.
33:11I know you, as my English tutor, are gonna use some lame-ass word like good
33:17I feel stellar
33:20Magnificent
33:23Sublime
33:24I feel special
33:26You made me feel special
33:29Oh my fucking god
33:37Did you guys just fuck?
33:39Are you kidding me?
33:40Bro, since when are you into nerds?
33:43Or fat chicks?
33:45Fuck off, Chad
33:46So you broke up with me to go dumpster diving?
33:49Really, Tristan?
33:50That's fucking pathetic
33:51Like, honestly embarrassing
33:54Tristan
33:57I guess the party's over, guys
34:05So let's leave these two lovebirds to it
34:07It was a joke
34:11Obviously, I'm not
34:16I'm not with Adams
34:20I'm messing with her
34:23Dude, that is cold as hell
34:28I didn't realize prudes had so many levels to pathetic
34:34So all that shit about trusting you, that was bullshit, huh?
34:42You're a coward, you know that?
34:44Yeah, I think you should go
34:47Baby, I didn't know you had that in you
35:02That was really mean
35:04I loved it
35:06So now that you're done slumming it for the bit
35:10What do you say we get back on track for prom?
35:17That fucking dick
35:19Honestly, it's my fault
35:20Riley, it is 100% not your fault
35:22No, I should have known better
35:24I shouldn't have let my guard down, you know?
35:26Once an asshole, always an asshole
35:28Look who's back on top
35:36I guess all is right in the world again
35:39You okay?
35:52I'm fine
35:58Damn you, Darcy
36:03Hey, can I just, can I talk to you?
36:17Whoa, in public?
36:18I'd rather we both agree to keep this a secret
36:20I mean, is that really how you want people to find out?
36:22No
36:23What I want is someone who isn't embarrassed to be with me
36:26Someone who doesn't live and die by his high school reputation
36:29Someone I can trust
36:30Okay, I get it, I fucked up
36:32I fucked up, okay?
36:34It's just what we had, it felt really good
36:35It felt special
36:36And I don't want to ruin that by letting other people into it
36:38Right, I bet
36:39Here
36:41That's all you paid me for tutoring, take it
36:44I'm not taking that
36:44You need that for college, huh?
36:46I would rather work four shitty jobs to go to school
36:48Than take a single cent from you
36:50behind closed doors
37:04A secret we must keep
37:07Your reputation precious while my feelings run so deep
37:13You said social suicide
37:16If anyone should know
37:19While in your mother's library our true colors start to show
37:25A stolen kiss, a whispered word
37:28Then silence in the halls
37:31Is this just education or am I about to fall in private lecterns
37:40Alright Adams, you drive a very hard bargain
37:44Tutoring won't work, Shakespeare won't work
37:47So, what about prom?
37:56I'd love to
37:58Yeah
38:00Dear
38:01Thanks
38:23Does your lack of appetite have anything to do with the fact that Riley hasn't been coming around anymore?
38:27Not so fast, mister. What happened?
38:33People found out about us
38:34About what? The tutoring?
38:40Oh, right. I hate to say I told you so but
38:42Yes, okay, I get it. You told me so
38:46Yeah, people found out about us and I may have said it was a joke
38:49Yeah, I know. I fucked up
38:56Honestly, I think I got scared
39:01Because, like, I really like her and I feel like I'm supposed to be this, um...
39:07What is this supposed to crap? Since when do you let other people decide what's right for you?
39:13Since I want to keep my friends
39:16No, seriously, like, people expect me to be this star football player and this guy that only dates girls
39:21Like Amanda, you know, and throw ragers and get fucked up, but, you know, not too fucked up because that would be just too much
39:27It's like, it's like people have this idea of me, this perfect version of me in their heads
39:32And if I don't live up to that, if I don't live up to that, then I'm nothing
39:36But you're not nothing
39:39If they are your real friends, they will accept you no matter what
39:42No
39:44I don't think it matters anyway
39:46Riley made it perfectly clear she wants nothing to do with me, so...
39:50I don't blame her, either
39:53But it's not too late
39:55You like her
39:56You fight for her
39:58Out in the open
40:12I don't blame her
40:17Hey, uh-uh, asshole
40:21Just leave her alone
40:22I just gotta give her one thing
40:23Just one thing
40:29You're ready
40:35Tristan, I...
40:39Withering Heights
40:40Looks boring
40:42Yeah, perfect, cause it's not for you
40:48Honey, what are you doing?
40:49We discussed this
40:50You're supposed to be done with this loser
40:52Amanda, you're actually the loser
40:56I'm an idiot
40:58Okay?
40:59And I know we have a bunch of rules and everything
41:00But I don't want to keep this a secret anymore, Riley
41:03Like, I like you a lot
41:05And I can't...
41:07I can't hide that
41:08Am I hearing this right?
41:09You're...
41:10You're choosing her over me?
41:12Are you fucking kidding?
41:13Tristan, this is not a good look
41:15Yeah, well, good thing I don't care about what you think
41:17Or anyone else thinks of me anymore
41:20Fine
41:22Enjoy being a nobody
41:24I'm sure you and Reject Riley will be very happy together
41:26I hope so
41:32I hope so
41:35This is for everything you've done for me
41:37Because you won't, you know, accept any of my money
41:41I can't accept this
41:43No, no, no, you can't, you can't
41:44You know, I'm giving it to you because you're the only one that will actually, you know, take good care of it
41:48Riley Adams, you are the best thing that's ever happened to me
41:58Chase
41:59No, I can think of a better word
42:00Um, Riley Adams, you are the most captivating
42:04The most electrifying, impressive and magnificent girl I've ever met in my life
42:08And I should have said this a long time ago, but
42:14You wanna go to prom with me?
42:27You actually think this is gonna work?
42:29I do
42:31And I wanna, I wanna try to make it work, don't you?
42:33I, I do, but
42:36Can I trust you?
42:39I promise you, you can trust me
42:41You really want to?
42:43Yes, yes, I really want to
42:45Now can you please just get out of your own way and let me
42:47I don't think I can
42:49You can, because
42:54I will do to you
42:57Okay, fine
42:59I'll go to the prom with you, Justin
43:01Yes
43:03But, there is something I have to do first
43:08No
43:09Yes
43:10No
43:11No
43:12No
43:14No
43:15No
43:16No
43:17No
43:19No
43:20No
43:21Mr. Darcy!
43:51Do you want to go to prom with me?
