00:06:17I'll do it.
00:06:20But under one condition.
00:06:27Who even writes love letters anymore?
00:06:30You're not 12.
00:06:31Yeah, well, Chloe's a different kind of girl.
00:06:33She likes to read books, and she's a writer, and she's in a very romantic thing, so...
00:06:38I don't want to just go over to her like she's in the other group.
00:06:42I want to impress her.
00:06:44Aren't you dating Samantha?
00:06:45You know, that was just a rule.
00:06:56Trust me, we were never really a thing.
00:06:59So, will you do this for me?
00:07:01All right.
00:07:06All right, show me what you're doing.
00:07:16All right.
00:07:18Hey, Chloe.
00:07:23I think you're really cool.
00:07:26Not just regular cool, but cool.
00:07:29You make me feel weird.
00:07:34Not bad weird.
00:07:35Good weird.
00:07:38Like when I score a basket and people cheer, but also, like when I eat too many tacos and
00:07:44my stomach gets all twisty, rad, that's not bad, that's pretty good.
00:07:52Yeah, you obviously need my help.
00:07:55Okay.
00:07:56But I need something in return.
00:07:59Listen, Mia, you're a really cool girl.
00:08:01I just don't see you like that.
00:08:02I need you to help me get with Dan.
00:08:11Dan's big bad Dan.
00:08:12Yes.
00:08:15Dan, shut up.
00:08:16Well, you're joking.
00:08:17You're not joking.
00:08:19Okay.
00:08:20If that's what you want to do, you got yourself a deal.
00:08:28Okay.
00:08:34Flattery, metaphors, a little poetic flair.
00:08:38Easy.
00:08:39Making it sound like Brad actually wrote it.
00:08:42Nearly impossible.
00:08:47Oh, this is gold.
00:08:50Chloe, you're the kind of story.
00:08:52I told you she was a total lesbo.
00:08:54Samantha, give it back.
00:08:56Samantha.
00:08:57Oh, give it back.
00:08:59Give it back.
00:09:00Give it back.
00:09:01Oh.
00:09:04You stupid, clumsy bitch.
00:09:07Oh, my God.
00:09:12Really?
00:09:12Oh.
00:09:20Come on out, Mia.
00:09:26Don't be shy.
00:09:27Here for some action, nerd.
00:09:30Oh, dicks of the body, legendary.
00:09:32No.
00:09:33No, I, no, it's the wrong room.
00:09:35I...
00:09:35Hey, hey, what are you doing?
00:09:38Hey, back up.
00:09:39Come on out, Mia.
00:09:41Don't open the door.
00:09:43No, if they want something to stare at, I'll give them something to stare at.
00:09:46Back up.
00:09:47Lunch.
00:09:47Hey, ladies.
00:09:53Oh, my God.
00:09:57All right, let's go in.
00:10:00Whoa, Brad.
00:10:01Close now.
00:10:02Sorry, uh, Samantha was knocking on the door and, you know...
00:10:05I...
00:10:05I...
00:10:05This was it.
00:10:06Yeah, enough.
00:10:07Do the principal's office follow you?
00:10:10Get some clothes on.
00:10:12Will do.
00:10:13Thank you, sir.
00:10:15Hey, they're gone.
00:10:16You can open your eyes.
00:10:17Yeah, that's not why I'm keeping them shut.
00:10:20Oh, it's me?
00:10:21Yeah.
00:10:27I think I might be blind now.
00:10:31How do you have zero shame?
00:10:33It's a blessing and a curse.
00:10:36Hmm.
00:10:37I think Chloe would appreciate you bearing it all.
00:10:41Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:10:43Relax.
00:10:44Jeez, I'm just pulling your leg.
00:10:46For someone who gets naked on command, you're pretty sensitive.
00:10:53You could have any girl in the school.
00:10:55Why Chloe?
00:10:57I don't know.
00:10:58Why does it matter?
00:11:01Did it help me write the letters?
00:11:06Well, it's like...
00:11:07It's like little things.
00:11:09You know, like the way that she, like, touches her nose when she's, like, concentrating.
00:11:14You know, she'll, like, take her index finger and she'll tap her nose and...
00:11:17I don't know, it's like, I don't even think she knows she's doing it, but...
00:11:23I can work with that.
00:11:25It's awesome.
00:11:30It's awesome.
00:11:30It's awesome.
00:11:31It's awesome.
00:11:54Look, my ears are going to show.
00:12:17Mia!
00:12:18Oh, you did it!
00:12:23You did it!
00:12:24Oh, oh, sorry.
00:12:28Yeah, it's fine.
00:12:29You're a genius.
00:12:31Yeah.
00:12:31I knew my plan was going to work.
00:12:34Wait, whoa, pump the brakes, Romeo.
00:12:36Don't forget about our deal.
00:12:37It's my turn now.
00:12:39What about Dan?
00:12:40Oh, Dan, yeah, Dan.
00:12:43Oh, yeah, right.
00:12:44No, no, no, yeah, Dan.
00:12:46Oh, gosh, don't tell me you forgot.
00:12:48No, no, actually, I got this.
00:12:53Brad.
00:12:54You're going to see Dan tonight.
00:12:58Tonight?
00:12:59Yeah, there's a party at Ryan's, and Dan is going to be there.
00:13:02I don't do parties.
00:13:04Well, Dan parties, so you do now.
00:13:07But I don't have anything to wear.
00:13:16Oh, God.
00:13:17Do you scare me?
00:13:20You look like you're about to get naked again.
00:13:21No, I, uh, I got a plan.
00:13:32See?
00:13:33I told you.
00:13:36Dashing.
00:13:36Leave me alone.
00:13:37Well, it's a good thing I brought back.
00:13:42Ladies?
00:13:46Makeover time.
00:13:48Oh, my God, no.
00:13:50Please help, please help.
00:13:52Well, take great care of her for me.
00:13:56Of course.
00:13:57Anything for the captain.
00:13:58Don't worry.
00:13:59We'll make her shine.
00:14:00Oh, nice.
00:14:01Well, I'll see you at the party.
00:14:03Brad, don't leave me.
00:14:04Have a great time.
00:14:05Oh, no.
00:14:06Good luck.
00:14:06Don't leave me here.
00:14:07Enjoy.
00:14:08Brad.
00:14:09We can do something.
00:14:10We can maybe put it.
00:14:11Ah, damn.
00:14:33Yes.
00:14:34That's it.
00:14:35That's the one.
00:14:36Come on.
00:14:39Thanks, guys.
00:14:54Yes, Brad.
00:14:55You almost fooled me for a second, but I see you right through your pathetic little disguise.
00:15:01I see you drooling over my boyfriend.
00:15:04Brad said you guys never even dated, so.
00:15:07Because of you, I got detention.
00:15:10Oh, get out of my dorm.
00:15:12Right after we settle the score.
00:15:14What?
00:15:14Oh, my God.
00:15:15Oh, my God.
00:15:16Samantha.
00:15:17Get out.
00:15:19What are you doing?
00:15:24Samantha.
00:15:25No, stop.
00:15:26Stop.
00:15:26Samantha.
00:15:27Open the door.
00:15:29No fault for you, Cinderella.
00:15:31Don't go.
00:15:32Hey, Mom.
00:15:50Is everything okay?
00:15:51The doctor said you stopped by.
00:15:54I didn't want to wake you.
00:15:56Next time.
00:15:57Wake me.
00:15:58Sweetie, what's wrong?
00:16:02Nothing.
00:16:03Um, you know, just high school can be a lot sometimes.
00:16:07You know, most people would have cracked under half of what you've been through.
00:16:12Not you.
00:16:13I was never that tough.
00:16:15Rest of the soul, neither was your father, but you.
00:16:18You don't break.
00:16:20That's your gift, baby.
00:16:21And no one can take that from you.
00:16:25So whatever's got you down, you'll figure it out.
00:16:28You'll always do.
00:16:30Yeah, you're right.

00:29:51Yeah, I had to write it by myself.
00:29:53Well, at least I tried to write it.
00:29:56Well, see ya.
00:30:02It's not terrible.
00:30:18You know, that's the nicest thing you've ever said about me.
00:30:21Wait, you actually read her favorite book?
00:30:27Yeah, I did.
00:30:29Very romantic.
00:30:31Very gushy.
00:30:32A lot of stargazing.
00:30:34And just a lot of feelings in general.
00:30:38Yeah, that's called literature, Brad.
00:30:40Well, 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...
00:30:57She does her own thing.
00:30:59You know, she's focused on something other than herself, and I don't know.
00:31:02I think that's really cool.
00:31:08That one's perfect for you.
00:31:13Isn'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.
00:31:30Hey.
00:31:31Hey, there you are.
00:31:34I'm looking for you.
00:31:36Well, that's my cue.
00:31:38For real.
00:31:53Hey.
00:31:59I'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.
00:32:08What happened?
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?
00:32:21Why do I matter?
00:32:22What are you into?
00:32:23I'm into you, too.
00:32:25I'm into you, of course.
00:32:26Okay, but why do you like me?
00:32:33You're really pretty.
00:32:35And, like, you weren't always this pretty.
00:32:38Like, 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?
00:32:47You were, like, really hot.
00:32:51Yeah.
00:32:53Anything else?
00:32:54Uh, what?
00:32:56Are you, like, trying to confuse me?
00:32:57Mm-hmm.
00:32:59Okay, wait.
00:32:59You're beautiful.
00:33:03Oh, you already said that.
00:33:07Babe, what?
00:33:15You know, everybody says that they don't care what other people think about them, and it's
00:33:19not true.
00:33:21You know, Chloe really just, she does her own thing.
00:33:25I think that's really cool.
00:33:29I wish you saw me the way you see her, Brad.
00:33:32I wish you saw me the way you see her, Brad.
00:34:02Look, it's already been a couple days, and she still hasn't responded.
00:34:06I'm pretty sure she hates me.
00:34:07No, it hasn't been that long.
00:34:10Maybe I should just talk to her.
00:34:12No.
00:34:14No, that's not how this works.
00:34:15You need to let her wonder.
00:34:17Let her wonder, huh?
00:34:19Yeah.
00:34:20Or maybe, or maybe, now hear me out, I could just talk to her and tell her that I like her.
00:34:26And ruin the mystery?
00:34:29Are you sure you put the letter in her locker?
00:34:31Yes.
00:34:32Brad, I'm sure.
00:34:40Look who's back.
00:34:42Deskrat herself.
00:34:44What's in the back, Brad?
00:34:46Another tragic hoodie, or did Goodwill finally cut you off?
00:34:50Don't.
00:34:51Just so we have to give it, give it back.
00:34:55Let's see.
00:34:56My dearest Chloe.
00:35:05Oh, my God.
00:35:06No wonder you're a virgin.
00:35:08Too busy playing for the other team.
00:35:09I'm sure to Samantha, give it back.
00:35:12Yes?
00:35:13It's not funny, please.
00:35:14Hey.
00:35:18What the hell's going on?
00:35:19Samantha, what the hell is your problem?
00:35:26Give me her bag back right now.
00:35:28Since when do you take charity cases side over mine?
00:35:31I know you still love me, Brad.
00:35:34Samantha, you and I had a fling for like a minute.
00:35:37And then you started acting like a complete psychopath.
00:35:39You and me are not a thing.
00:35:41So give me her bag back right now.
00:35:47This is all her fault.
00:35:56Thanks.
00:36:01Brad.
00:36:02You didn't give Chloe the letter.
00:36:04I...
00:36:04Mia.
00:36:06You lied to me.
00:36:08No.
00:36:08Yeah, you didn't.
00:36:09No, I didn't.
00:36:11No, I didn't.
00:36:14No.
00:36:36Brad.
00:36:38Please.
00:36:39Please.
00:36:41Who is it?
00:36:54It's Brad.
00:36:59Come in.
00:37:00Come in.
00:37:00Why didn't you give her the letter?
00:37:13I don't know.
00:37:16Bullshit.
00:37:17I don't.
00:37:18I don't.
00:37:18What, did you want some money?
00:37:20Was that it?
00:37:20You were just trying to squeeze some more money out of me?
00:37:22Fuck you, Brad.
00:37:24There must have been a reason.
00:37:26Mia, you're the smartest person I've ever met.
00:37:28I refuse to believe that you just didn't know what you were doing or that it was an accident.
00:37:31Okay, I'm sorry.
00:37:33I'm really sorry, okay?
00:37:34But I can't keep writing for you anymore.
00:37:37You don't understand how hard it is to make someone fall for you when it's not even you.
00:37:40I need you, Mia.
00:37:52I put the letter in Chloe's locker and she wrote back.
00:38:01But I just, I can't read it without you.
00:38:04I'm not doing this anymore.
00:38:14Please.
00:38:15Please.
00:38:15Dear Chloe, I don't know how to tell you what you make me feel without sounding like
00:38:42a total cliche, but when I see you, everything else fades.
00:38:50I like the way that you always bite your pen when you're stuck on a sentence, like you're
00:38:54trying to scare the words in a place.
00:38:59I like that you don't try to fit in.
00:39:01You just exist.
00:39:02Exactly the way you are.
00:39:11You make the world's chaos quieter just by being in it.
00:39:16Brad.
00:39:16She wrote back.
00:39:42I'm going to throw up.
00:39:44Okay, let's see.
00:39:46Dear stranger, every time I open my locker, my heart sinks if it's empty.
00:39:56Each letter you leave makes the story of my life feel a little more complete.
00:40:01Oh, that's good.
00:40:03But every story has to step off the page eventually.
00:40:08What if we met?
00:40:10She wants to meet?
00:40:16Oh, my God.
00:40:17Oh, my God.
00:40:18I'm going to go back.
00:40:22I'm going to throw up.
00:40:24Okay, let's see.
00:40:30Dear stranger, every time I open my locker, my heart sinks if it's empty.
00:40:36Each letter you leave makes the story of my life feel a little more complete.
00:40:40Oh, that's good.
00:40:41Oh, that's good.
00:40:43But every story has to step off the page eventually.
00:40:48What if we met?
00:40:50She wants to meet?
00:40:56Oh, my God.
00:40:57What's this?
00:41:08This is a coolie favorite band.
00:41:10You want her to think you guys have things in common, right?
00:41:13Yeah, yeah.
00:41:15What about when girls like when guys have their own interests?
00:41:18Okay, but not one more thing is basketball and ripping the alphabet.
00:41:23You remember that?
00:41:24Yeah.
00:41:25That's bad.
00:41:27That's really bad.
00:41:28Oh, my God.
00:41:29Okay, so let's see.
00:41:31Okay.
00:41:33Chloe's favorite book?
00:41:35Um, The Night Circus.
00:41:39Chloe's favorite movie?
00:41:41Pride and Problems.
00:41:43Prejudice.
00:41:45The movie's called Prejudice?
00:41:47Prejudice.
00:41:47Pride and Prejudice.
00:41:48Oh, Pride and Prejudice.
00:41:49Good job.
00:41:50Okay.
00:41:51All right.
00:41:52What food does she hate?
00:41:55Um, anything with olives.
00:41:57Good job.
00:41:59Hey, look at you.
00:42:00You're not completely a lost cause.
00:42:02Hey, they don't call me B-Rad for nothing.
00:42:05Psh, okay.
00:42:06Um, you're taking her on the first date.
00:42:10Where are you going?
00:42:11The driving movie theater.
00:42:14Hmm.
00:42:15Good.
00:42:17Let me ask you something.
00:42:20If someone were to take you on a date, where would you want to go?
00:42:27It's not important.
00:42:28Anyways, I don't drive, so, yeah.
00:42:30You don't drive?
00:42:32I never got my license.
00:42:35You're lying.
00:42:37Oh, my God.
00:42:38Little Miss Overachiever never got her license.
00:42:41This is amazing.
00:42:42It's not funny.
00:42:43It's very funny.
00:42:44It's pretty funny.
00:42:46Wow.
00:42:48Wow, lucky for you, Coach Sterling over here is open for driving lessons.
00:42:53No, Brad, it's not happening.
00:42:56Yes.
00:42:57I'm serious.
00:42:58No.
00:42:59No, I'm serious.
00:43:00It's not a joke.
00:43:01It's not going to happen.
00:43:03It's happening.
00:43:03All right, driver's head time.
00:43:14You ready?
00:43:15I'm not doing it.
00:43:16Come on, you're a genius.
00:43:18How are you driving to you?
00:43:20No, I'm serious.
00:43:21Brad, please just drop me.
00:43:22Look, what are you so afraid of?
00:43:24It's a car, not a shark.
00:43:25You're going to be fine.
00:43:26Yeah, well, my dad died in one, and my mom's been in the hospital ever since, so I'm not
00:43:32driving.
00:43:38I got an idea.
00:43:40All right, so why don't you just stay right here?
00:43:43Okay.
00:43:55What are you doing?
00:43:56We're going to take it slow, just like a turtle.
00:44:01And look at it, nothing's going to happen.
00:44:06Do you trust me?
00:44:09I do.
00:44:10Great.
00:44:12Hop on in.
00:44:14Okay.
00:44:16I think I got you a gift.
00:44:18I'm okay.
00:44:19Let me see.
00:44:24Cute.
00:44:24Oh, God.
00:44:26You got this.
00:44:31Perfect.
00:44:32All right.
00:44:34That's the brake.
00:44:34That's the gas.
00:44:37We're in drive.
00:44:39That's reverse.
00:44:40Okay.
00:44:41All right.
00:44:42So it's a neutral right now.
00:44:43Whenever you're ready, put it in drive.
00:44:46Slowly click on the gas.
00:44:49Okay.
00:44:50On the gas.
00:44:51I'm going to be a total.
00:44:54Kill him.
00:44:58Okay.
00:44:58All right.
00:44:59Wow.
00:45:00That was great.
00:45:00No, no, no, no, no.
00:45:01Hey.
00:45:01No, wait.
00:45:02Hey.
00:45:02I got you.
00:45:03I got you.
00:45:04Honestly, not too bad for your first time.
00:45:06I almost killed us.
00:45:08Well, that builds character.
00:45:10Yeah, you did great.
00:45:11I think lesson one is complete.
00:45:15All right.
00:45:15My turn.
00:45:16Ah!
00:45:18No kiss?
00:45:20Oh, my God.
00:45:22Oh, my God.
00:45:22Do you people really look at each other like that?
00:45:26I mean, come on.
00:45:27Yeah.
00:45:28If they're blind.
00:45:32Watch, I better get a kiss right here.
00:45:34Right here.
00:45:34Oh.
00:45:35Oh, God, babe.
00:45:37Well, look at you.
00:45:40I just don't understand why people think this stuff is, like, so romantic.
00:45:45It's the build-up.
00:45:47The anticipation, you know?
00:45:48Like her, you can chase your company goodbye.
00:45:53So, are you sure?
00:45:57I think they're getting for sure of anything in my life.
00:46:06What about your mom and company?
00:46:09Sorry, I need to take this.
00:46:11Okay.
00:46:13Hello?
00:46:14I'll be right there.
00:46:18Mom?
00:46:19You said it was an emergency?
00:46:21It's nothing, sweetie.
00:46:22Just a little scare.
00:46:23I'm fine.
00:46:26Who is this handsome young man?
00:46:28Your boyfriend?
00:46:30Yes, yes.
00:46:31Hi, I'm Brad Sterling.
00:46:33It's great to meet you, ma'am.
00:46:34Oh, you were quite the catch.
00:46:37What are your intentions with my daughter?
00:46:40Mom, he's not my boyfriend.
00:46:42Her heart is failing faster than we expected.
00:46:49She needs a transplant within the week.
00:46:52How much?
00:46:53Even with insurance, you're looking at $200,000.
00:46:58Yeah, no.
00:46:58There are other options.
00:46:59It's okay.
00:47:00I'll figure it out.
00:47:01Man, trust me.
00:47:03I'll figure it out.
00:47:15Hey.
00:47:15I'm such a freaking idiot.
00:47:21This whole time, paper hearts, it's...
00:47:25That's why you're doing it.
00:47:26Yeah, but Brad, I'm stuck.
00:47:28Even with everything I've saved, it's not enough money.
00:47:31Hey, hey, hey.
00:47:31It's okay.
00:47:31It's okay.
00:47:32You know what?
00:47:42We're not doing it alone anymore.
00:47:44Because I got a plan.
00:47:46All right?
00:47:46Okay.
00:47:50You know what?
00:48:02We're not doing it alone.
00:48:32Pretty good for team morale.
00:48:40You're insane.
00:48:41Hey, I've been called that before, actually.
00:48:45You're welcome.
00:48:47It's not going to be enough money.
00:48:51Well, then we'll keep trying.
00:48:53And you're going to keep trying, too.
00:49:02I'm going to step up.
00:49:06Oh, no.
00:49:08I'm falling for him.
00:49:12Come on.
00:49:14Get to work.
00:49:14Just five more essays.
00:49:25Is that why I didn't give Chloe the letter?
00:49:28Because 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.
00:49:41No improvising.
00:49:41Okay?
00:49:42What if I think it's something really funny to say?
00:49:45Go and just keep it to yourself.
00:49:47Okay.
00:49:48Yep.
00:49:49Wow.
00:49:49My very own dating coach.
00:49:51Yeah.
00:49:52You need it.
00:49:53So.
00:49:53You ready?
00:49:55Go and ready.
00:49:56Smile and relax, okay?
00:50:05Oh, my God.
00:50:06I'm going to pee my pants.
00:50:08You're going to do great, okay?
00:50:10I'm right here.
00:50:11Okay.
00:50:11She's coming.
00:50:12She's coming.
00:50:18Brad Sterling.
00:50:20Hi.
00:50:21It's great to officially meet you.
00:50:23You, too.
00:50:25Okay.
00:50:26Well, um...
00:50:31I 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.
00:50:41You 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.
00:50:53You know, that word is so overused that it's lost all of its meaning.
00:51:03But it has it with you.
00:51:04So, why me?
00:51:11Why the letters?
00:51:13You're smart.
00:51:15You smell...
00:51:16You smell...
00:51:17You smell...
00:51:18I'm sorry?
00:51:21You smell like a...
00:51:24Like a wet dog in the summer.
00:51:27What?
00:51:28No, no, no, no.
00:51:29Say...
00:51:29I mean, in the sun.
00:51:31I mean...
00:51:31Is that better?
00:51:32No, no, no.
00:51:33Say, say, you're easy to talk to.
00:51:36Because you're so easy.
00:51:43Are 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.
00:51:51It's an overrated book.
00:51:53Uh-huh.
00:51:53It's overrated.
00:51:56I mean...
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.
00:52:04No, no, no.
00:52:04Don't let her leave.
00:52:06Stop her.
00:52:06I'm gonna go and really think...
00:52:08Hold on.
00:52:08I'm sorry.
00:52:09I'm not sorry.
00:52:11It's just feel a little bit...
00:52:12Can I...
00:52:13Can I try again?
00:52:14I'm sorry I wasn't being honest with you.
00:52:17Stick to the plan.
00:52:19What are you doing?
00:52:20Okay.
00:52:20Brad.
00:52:25Chloe.
00:52:27Hello?
00:52:29Hello?
00:52:30I just...
00:52:32You know, you're somebody that I kind of...
00:52:34I've been watching and kind of...
00:52:37What is he saying?
00:52:38Sorry.
00:52:46He's got this.
00:52:47And 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.
00:53:05You're so funny.
00:53:07You're so funny.
00:53:09Yeah.
00:53:09Thanks, ma'am.
00:53:10Mm-hmm.
00:53:10We'll be 18.
00:53:12Okay.
00:53:12Oh, my God.
00:53:14What are you...
00:53:16Whoa-ho!
00:53:17Hey, Mia!
00:53:20Hey!
00:53:25It's not what it looks like.
00:53:27Oh, really?
00:53:28Let me guess.
00:53:29You were just tutoring her in anatomy.
00:53:32Babe, come on.
00:53:36Really?
00:53:36Okay, look.
00:53:39There's...
00:53:40Obviously, 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.
00:54:00But reality check?
00:54:03You'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.
00:54:27Dan the man!
00:54:27Yeah!
00:54:29Woo!
00:54:44Dan, I thought I told you.
00:54:46I don't want another dumb, overbox guys coming.
00:55:49I have zero time or interest in dealing with you.
00:56:02Relax, Descartes. I'm not here to fight.
00:56:05Then what do you want?
00:56:07Imagine my surprise when your dumbass accidentally sends me your personal info straight from the Paper Hearts account.
00:56:15Exhausted much?
00:56:17I have no idea what you're talking about. That's not mine.
00:56:19Come on. Two phones. Weird for a broke little charity case.
00:56:26Get out.
00:56:26Get out.
00:56:27Niles.
00:56:28Give me my phone back.
00:56:29Holy shit.
00:56:31It's you. You're Paper Hearts.
00:56:33Please.
00:56:33Please, you can't tell anyone. I'll do your homework, your essays, whatever you want.
00:56:37I don't care about any of that.
00:56:39Then what do you want?
00:56:40I want the truth. Why is Brad always with you?
00:56:47I need to tell him about Samantha.
00:56:52Hey.
00:56:53Hey.
00:56:53Hi.
00:56:54You look beautiful.
00:56:56How was your class?
00:56:58It was good.
00:56:59It was good?
00:56:59Ready for practice tonight?
00:57:01Yeah.
00:57:01Hey, Mia.
00:57:03Mia.
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.
00:57:17Hi.
00:57:18Brad talks about you all the time.
00:57:20Yeah, same.
00:57:21Um, I actually had something to tell you.
00:57:27Yeah, what's up?
00:57:28Uh, I, I broke up with Dan.
00:57:33Oh, really?
00:57:35Well, that's great.
00:57:36He's a total moron.
00:57:38Yeah, I'm sure you deserve much better.
00:57:40Yeah.
00:57:42Well, if you guys are out.
00:57:43Hey, Mia, why don't you come to the gateway?
00:57:46Yeah, I'll sit with you if you want.
00:57:48Yeah, it'll be great.
00:57:49Yeah, maybe.
00:57:50I'll see you guys around.
00:57:52Okay, I'll be there.
00:58:14Hell of a love story, isn't it?
00:58:17Shame, it's all a lie.
00:58:19Chloe, I 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, that 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.
00:58:55Go on.
00:58:56Okay.
00:58:56Sorry.
00:59:01Excuse me.
00:59:02Just coming through.
00:59:03Sorry.
00:59:08Hey, Chloe.
00:59:09Oh, my God.
00:59:10Hi.
00:59:10I'm so glad you're here.
00:59:11Yeah.
00:59:12It's a good game.
00:59:14I need to tell you something.
00:59:15I need to tell you something.
00:59:16Oh, my gosh.
00:59:18Matt, are you okay?
00:59:23I'm okay.
00:59:24Are you okay?
00:59:26I'm okay.
00:59:26I'm okay.
00:59:28I'll be back.
00:59:29Go.
00:59:29Good luck.
00:59:29Good luck.
00:59:30Okay.
00:59:30Got this.
00:59:31Um, what were you going to say, Mia?
00:59:38Um, I need to tell you.
00:59:42Um, I've been.
00:59:44Go on.
00:59:45Tell her.
00:59:50I, oh, I knew you'd chicken out, but I didn't write those letters.
00:59:57What?
00:59:58Our little ghostwriter here did.
00:59:59Every word.
01:00:02They were just messing with you.
01:00:04Both 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.
01:00:12I, oh, Chloe.
01:00:15Wait, I, no.
01:00:22What are you doing, man?
01:00:28What?
01:00:29That's unbelievable.
01:00:32All this work.
01:00:34Captain Love's story.
01:00:35Did you sit in?
01:00:37Got some stupid girl.
01:00:41God.
01:00:42That he's been fucking desk rat, his new chick found out.
01:00:50No, actually.
01:00:52I heard she's been screwing Professor Luke for her grades.
01:00:56Probably half the faculty.
01:00:59Shame that, uh, what pathetic horror cost us the game.
01:01:02What the hell did you just say?
01:01:07Relax, man.
01:01:11If you're into leftovers, that's your call.
01:01:13What the hell is your problem?
01:01:29Don't you ever talk about her like that again.
01:01:30Brad?
01:01:31What happened to me?
01:01:43What happened to me?
01:01:45You just told me everything now.
01:01:47No.
01:01:47Talk to me.
01:01:48You already told him everything, huh?
01:01:49No.
01:01:49Everything?
01:01:50Oh, what's wrong with your hair?
01:01:52Captain.
01:01:53My captain.
01:01:55What's up, little bitch?
01:01:56Hold it.
01:01:58You think you're some kind of hero?
01:02:01Oh, my God.
01:02:02Get out of here.
01:02:06Get out of here.
01:02:07Sorry about your boy toy, princess.
01:02:10Hey, hey.
01:02:12Hey, boy.
01:02:16Sorry, Brad.

01:02:27It's okay.
01:02:28No.
01:02:32Okay.
01:02:39It's going to be quick.
01:02:40Don't trip.
01:02:40It's okay.
01:02:41Hurry.

01:03:15It's all my fault.
01:03:20I wish you would have never asked me for help.
01:03:24I wish I would have just stayed invisible to you.
01:03:27None of this would have ever happened.
01:03:38I would have never fallen for you.
01:03:40I was so sorry.
01:03:42I wish I would have never asked you for help.
01:03:54I wish I would have never thought of you.

01:08:34you can't do this.
01:08:35I need to be at school.
01:08:36I have nothing else.
01:08:37She stole my money.
01:08:39What money?
01:08:40Where would someone like her
01:08:41even get money?
01:08:42That's all, Mia.
01:08:43You can go.
01:08:43No!

01:08:47I said you can go.
01:08:49Sorry.

01:09:05Not my problem.
01:09:06I can't just...
01:09:06Take what's not yours.
01:09:08Isn't that exactly
01:09:09what you did with Brad?
01:09:14At this rate,
01:09:15it'll take me a decade
01:09:17to earn the money back.
01:09:18Oh, my goodness.
01:09:23Death rat slinging
01:09:24wieners and beef.
01:09:26That's a pretty bad point.
01:09:27Leave me alone.
01:09:28Why?
01:09:30You got any footlongs here
01:09:31or is that pro bono
01:09:32just for the faculty?
01:09:35Get out of here!
01:09:36What are you doing?
01:09:37Hang on.
01:09:38Hmm.
01:09:41Oops!
01:09:41Oh, God!
01:09:43You know,
01:09:43this is your pee-go.
01:09:44Hey!
01:09:45It's all downhill from here.
01:09:47It's gone.
01:09:48Oh, my God.
01:09:49What the hell is going on?
01:09:51It wasn't me.
01:09:52I swear.
01:09:53This comes out
01:09:53of your paycheck.
01:09:54What?
01:09:55I...
01:09:56I...
01:09:56I'm so sorry.
01:09:59I'm...
01:10:00You're lucky
01:10:13she got you
01:10:13to the hospital
01:10:14in time.
01:10:16Who?
01:10:18Mia.
01:10:19She drove you.
01:10:20No.
01:10:21No,
01:10:22Mia can't drive.
01:10:24She did that right.
01:10:30Jackson,
01:10:32you looks like
01:10:33you were about to
01:10:34meet Jesus back there.
01:10:35This part's my favorite.
01:10:37The way they realized
01:10:38they loved each other
01:10:38all along.
01:10:40Right.
01:10:41After three conversations
01:10:42and a kiss on the rain.
01:10:44Very realistic.
01:10:47It's romantic.
01:10:50It's cheesy.
01:10:54You don't have to
01:10:55watch with me.
01:10:57No, I want you.
01:10:58I want you.
01:10:59I'm sorry.
01:11:00I want you.
01:11:03Okay.
01:11:24Hi, Dad.
01:11:25Hi, Dad.
01:11:25I wish you were here.
01:11:37Did you know how to fix this?
01:11:41Mom's really sick.
01:11:44She's really sick.
01:11:47And I can't save her.
01:11:51And I've tried so hard.
01:11:55Why did you leave?
01:12:07Oh, my God.
01:12:08Hey, hey, hey, hey.
01:12:10I got you.
01:12:13You okay?
01:12:14Hey, hey.
01:12:16It's okay.
01:12:25It's all over.
01:12:34All the money is gone.
01:12:35Even if I worked every second, it wouldn't be enough.
01:12:42You know, when I came out here and I saw you, I got so scared.
01:12:51It's like that took everything.
01:12:55I know.
01:12:55Every cent.
01:12:58And she knows who I am.
01:13:00She knows about me.
01:13:01And I'm paper hearts.
01:13:03Well, then we will do everything that we can to make sure that she gives it back.
01:13:08How?
01:13:09How?
01:13:09Oh, she has all the cards in her hands.
01:13:11If she exposes me, I'm done.
01:13:13No school.
01:13:14No future.
01:13:15Nothing.
01:13:18You know what?
01:13:25Let's turn the tables.
01:13:29Keith, let's go.
01:13:31You called for me, Principal Matthews?
01:13:46Yes, come in.
01:13:47Have a seat, please.
01:13:48Hi, Samantha.
01:13:57So, Principal Matthews.
01:13:59Mia did not lie about everything.
01:14:01Samantha was the one that stole everything.
01:14:03Everything from the car wash.
01:14:05Everything that Mia worked so hard to get.
01:14:07Even if that were true, which it's not, how would a charity case like her have thousands just lying around?
01:14:14Here's your proof.
01:14:17Every single cent went right into Samantha's bank account.
01:14:20Mr. Matthews, they're just trying to blackmail me because I know the truth about Mia.
01:14:24You know what, Samantha?
01:14:25This is exactly why I broke up with you.
01:14:27Because you lie.
01:14:28You lie and you manipulate and you don't care who gets hurt along the way.
01:14:32As long as you get what you want, right?
01:14:34You want to play a back game?
01:14:36Fine.
01:14:37You want to talk about liars?
01:14:38Alice, here's your perfect straight-A student running a whole cheating empire under your nose.
01:14:44Paper hearts.
01:14:45That's her.
01:14:47And when I found out, they threatened me.
01:14:49And she attacked me.
01:14:51She told me that if I told anyone, she would kill me.
01:14:54So, I just couldn't hide it anymore.
01:14:57Is this true?
01:15:00This is ridiculous.
01:15:03No, it's not.
01:15:04Because I run paper hearts.
01:15:06I always have, and Mia has never had anything to do with it.
01:15:12Do you fully understand the consequences of your confession, Brad?
01:15:16Yes, I do.
01:15:18So, you expect me to believe a student like you,
01:15:22who's barely turned in to complete an essay his entire high school career?
01:15:27Well, that was exactly the point.
01:15:30No one would ever suspect it was me.
01:15:32You didn't.
01:15:32But yes, I ran paper hearts.
01:15:36I hired people to write the essays.
01:15:37I ran the app.
01:15:39I handled all the finances.
01:15:40And I made sure that it would never get traced back to me.
01:15:44Mia is a great, very hardworking student.
01:15:48And she would never do anything like this.
01:15:50She had nothing to do with it.
01:15:51I promise.
01:15:52Well, where did Mia get the money?
01:15:55Frankly, sir, I have no idea.
01:15:56But honestly, however much money is in Mia's bank account is really, well, none of our business.
01:16:02Brad, you expelled effective immediately.
01:16:07Samantha, so are you.
01:16:09What?
01:16:10Now, I'm willing to keep this quiet and not involve the police.
01:16:13But if you want to press your luck, theft of this amount will put you behind bars for five years.
01:16:21Now, maybe your daddy's attorneys and lawyers can shave it down one or two years.
01:16:27It's your choice.
01:16:36Thanks, sir.
01:16:36Well, well, well.
01:16:55Looks like Deserat is out of job.
01:16:58You know, maybe you should look at the corner.
01:17:02And by the way, word of advice, I heard it pays better if you don't use protection.
01:17:11That's for every piece of shit thing you've ever said to me.
01:17:15Oh, my God.
01:17:19Remind me in that space you want.
01:17:21You already do.
01:17:22Thanks.
01:17:23Well, let's go to the hospital.
01:17:25Yeah.
01:17:26Oh.
01:17:27Oh.
01:17:28We have the money.
01:17:33Please, where's my mom?
01:17:35You're two hours late.
01:17:36We couldn't wait any longer.
01:17:38We had to move on to the next patient.
01:17:43Well, doctor, can you move her back into the room?
01:17:46That's not how this works.
01:17:48Well, it is tonight.
01:17:49Hey, Brad.
01:17:50Hey, it's okay.
01:17:51Listen, doctor.
01:17:52Grab every single doctor, every single nurse, every person that you need to make this operation happen
01:17:56so we can save this beautiful woman's life tonight.
01:18:04Late year.
01:18:10Hey.
01:18:11Hey.
01:18:11Hey.
01:18:12We're too late.
01:18:13We're not too late.
01:18:15It's going to be okay.
01:18:16I promise.
01:18:17I promise.
01:18:26You're thinking so loud.
01:18:32I can hear it.
01:18:36I'm just glad you're okay, Mom.
01:18:40That's not all.
01:18:52Mom, how did you know you were in love with Dad?
01:18:54We were at this terrible karaoke bar.
01:18:59Oh, boy.
01:19:01Neither one of us could sing to save our lives.
01:19:05But he got up anyway.
01:19:08Sang horribly.
01:19:10Just to make me laugh.
01:19:15Everyone was staring.
01:19:19But all I could see was him.
01:19:20That's it?
01:19:27Love isn't some big moment, sweetie.
01:19:31It's the little ones.
01:19:33That make you feel seen.
01:19:36Safe.
01:19:38You don't have to be anybody but yourself.
01:19:41Yeah.
01:19:45Mom, I think I'm going to mess everything up.
01:19:48Good thing you're the best fixer I know.
01:20:04Why did you do all of this for Mia?
01:20:07I don't know.
01:20:08Because she's my friend.
01:20:10I think you do know.
01:20:11We're too different.
01:20:31But you and her...
01:20:32You always made sense.
01:20:36Write your own words this time.
01:20:49We got it.
01:20:50Oh
01:21:10Please welcome to the stage the one and only valedictorian Mia Brooks
01:21:17Congratulations
01:21:20So proud of you. Thanks. Absolutely. Oh wow. Um
01:21:26Good afternoon everyone. Um
01:21:30I had a whole speech planned about hard work and
01:21:35dedication and all the usual stuff you're supposed to say
01:21:39I've spent so much of my life writing words for other people
01:21:43It feels wrong not to write this moment for myself. I want to talk about love
01:21:50Love
01:21:52Isn't some perfect story with a guaranteed happy ending. It's confusing
01:22:01Terrifying
01:22:03It makes you mess up over and over and over again
01:22:07Because suddenly
01:22:13Someone else's happiness matters more than your own and sometimes the scariest part isn't even falling for someone. It's
01:22:19Letting them see you
01:22:23All of you
01:22:25And trusting that they won't walk away. I spent so much time writing stories for everyone else
01:22:30I think it's time I rent my own
01:22:35Congratulations class of 2025
01:22:37Oh
01:22:39It's time I take my own advice
01:22:41Bye
01:22:42What the heck?
01:22:43Well, the show must go on everyone
01:22:46We have our next runner up valedictorian
01:22:48Chloe
01:22:49Hardwell
01:22:50Oh
01:22:55Brad
01:22:56Yeah
01:22:59What are you doing? You're supposed to be at graduation
01:23:01Yeah, why aren't you at graduation?
01:23:03I already got my diploma
01:23:06No ceremony for me
01:23:09Mom
01:23:10My parents are moving tomorrow
01:23:13New investment, new time
01:23:15Tomorrow
01:23:17To tomorrow
01:23:21You were just gonna leave without saying anything
01:23:25I figured you'd be better off
01:23:34I got your letter
01:23:36Yeah
01:23:40Any notes?
01:23:43I got too scared to read it
01:23:45Thought we could do it together
01:23:50But first there's something I want to say
01:23:54You're the most annoying
01:23:57Stubborn
01:23:59Frustrating person I've ever met
01:24:04And I love you
01:24:08I love you and I'm done pretending so if you don't feel the same way just tell me right now
01:24:15Yeah
01:24:18Yeah, you really should have read that letter
01:24:23Why?
01:24:27Because then you'd already know how I feel
01:24:29Yeah
01:24:38Okay, it's gonna-
01:24:41Oh
01:24:42We're getting sick
01:24:45It's going to-
01:24:47And we're getting sick
01:24:50Okay?
01:24:51Yeah
01:24:52I'm going to start it
01:24:52I'm going to say
01:24:53Okay, let's go
01:26:54Bye.
01:27:01So, what now?
01:27:11Anything?
01:27:13Everything?
01:27:14Sounds terrifying.
01:27:16Not with you.
01:27:18Ready to go?
01:27:32Yeah.
01:27:33You're driving.
01:27:35Sounds good.
01:27:36Let's go.
01:27:37Yeah!
