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 I don't
00:06:38want to just go over to her like she's in the other group.
00:06:41I want to impress her.
00:06:43Aren't you dating Samantha?
00:06:53No.
00:06:54That was just a rule.
00:06:56Trust me, we were never really a thing, so will you do this for me?
00:07:05All right.
00:07:06I had trouble writing around.
00:07:08All right.
00:07:20Hey, Chloe.
00:07:23I think you're really cool.
00:07:25Not just regular cool, but cool.
00:07:31You make me feel weird.
00:07:34Not bad weird.
00:07:35Good weird.
00:07:36Like 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.
00:07:47Rad.
00:07:48That's not bad.
00:07:50That's pretty good.
00:07:50Yeah, you obviously need my help.
00:07:55Okay.
00:07:55But I need something in return.
00:07:59Listen, Mia, you're a really cool girl.
00:08:00I just don't see you like that.
00:08:02I need you to help me get with Dan.
00:08:10Dan.
00:08:11Big bad Dan.
00:08:12Yes.
00:08:14Damn shit up.
00:08:15Well, you're joking.
00:08:17You're not joking.
00:08:19Okay.
00:08:19If that's what you want to do, you got yourself a deal.
00:08:23Flattery, metaphors, a little poetic flair.
00:08:38Easy.
00:08:39Making it sound like Brad actually wrote it?
00:08:42Nearly impossible.
00:08:43Oh, this is gold.
00:08:50Chloe, you're the kind of story I told you she was a total lesbo.
00:08:54Samantha, give it back.
00:08:56Samantha.
00:08:57Give it back.
00:08:59Samantha.
00:09:00Give it back.
00:09:00Oh.
00:09:04You stupid, clumsy bitch.
00:09:07Oh.
00:09:08Oh, my God.
00:09:10Really?
00:09:13Oh.
00:09:20Come on out, Mia.
00:09:26Don't be shy.
00:09:28Here for some action, nerd?
00:09:30The objects of the body legendary.
00:09:32No.
00:09:32No, I know it's the wrong room.
00:09:34I...
00:09:35Hey.
00:09:35Hey.
00:09:36What are you doing?
00:09:38Hey, back up.
00:09:39Come on out, Mia.
00:09:40Go get the shabby.
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.
00:09:47Watch.
00:09:50Hey, ladies.
00:09:53Oh.
00:09:54Oh, my God.
00:09:57All right, let's go.
00:09:59Whoa, Brad.
00:10:01Close now.
00:10:02Sorry, Samantha was knocking on the door.
00:10:04I...
00:10:05I...
00:10:05This was it.
00:10:06I'm not...
00:10:07Do the principal's office follow you?
00:10:08Get 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.
00:10:22I 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.
00:10:36I think Chloe would appreciate you bearing it all.
00:10:40Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:10:42I don't.
00:10:43Relax.
00:10:44Jeez.
00:10:44I'm just pulling your leg.
00:10:46For someone who gets naked on command, you're pretty sensitive.
00:10:49You could have any girl in the school.
00:10:55Why Chloe?
00:10:57I don't know.
00:10:59Why does it matter?
00:11:01It'd help me write the letters.
00:11:03Well, it's like...
00:11:06It's like little things.
00:11:09You know, like the way that she, like, touches her nose when she's, like, concentrating.
00:11:13You know, she'll, like, take her index finger and she'll tap her nose and...
00:11:18I don't know.
00:11:19It's like...
00:11:19I don't even think she knows she's doing it, but...
00:11:23I can work with that.
00:11:30Awesome.
00:11:30Awesome.
00:11:53What's your look?
00:12:11My ears are a show.
00:12:18Mia!
00:12:19Oh, you did it!
00:12:23You did it!
00:12:24Oh!
00:12:24Oh!
00:12:26Um...
00:12:26Sorry.
00:12:27Yeah, it's fine.
00:12:29Um...
00:12:29You're a genius.
00:12:30Yeah.
00:12:31I knew my plan was gonna work.
00:12:33Wait.
00:12:34Whoa.
00:12:34Pump the brakes, Romeo.
00:12:36Don't forget about our deal.
00:12:37It's...
00:12:37It's my turn now.
00:12:39What about Dan?
00:12:40Oh, Dan.
00:12:41Yeah, Dan.
00:12:43Oh, yeah, right.
00:12:44No, no, no.
00:12:44Yeah, Dan.
00:12:46Oh, gosh.
00:12:47Tell me you forgot.
00:12:48No.
00:12:49No, actually.
00:12:50I got this.
00:12:53Brad.
00:12:54You're gonna see Dan.
00:12:56Tonight.
00:12:57Tonight?
00:12:58Yeah, there's a party at Ryan's, and Dan is gonna be there.
00:13:02I don't do parties.
00:13:04Well, Dan parties.
00:13:06So you do now.
00:13:07But...
00:13:08I don't have anything to wear.
00:13:16Oh, God.
00:13:17You scare me.
00:13:20You look like you're about to get naked again.
00:13:23No, I, uh...
00:13:24I got a plan.
00:13:25See?
00:13:32I told you.
00:13:36Dashing.
00:13:36Leave me alone.
00:13:39Well, it's a good thing I brought back.
00:13:41Ladies.
00:13:46Makeover time.
00:13:48Oh, my God.
00:13:49No.
00:13:50We need help.
00:13:51Please, no.
00:13:51Well, 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, my God.
00:14:00Okay.
00:14:01Well, I'll see you at the park.
00:14:03Brad, don't leave me.
00:14:04Have a great time.
00:14:05Oh, no.
00:14:05Please.
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...
00:14:11Ah, I didn't.
00:14:12I didn't.
00:14:12I didn't.
00:14:13I didn't.

00:14:38Thanks, guys.
00:14:42Oh, shit.
00:14:42Oh, shit.
00:14:48Yes, 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 settled the score.
00:15:14What?
00:15:14Oh, my God.
00:15:15Oh, my God.
00:15:15Oh, my God.

00:15:25No, stop.
00:15:26Stop, Samantha.
00:15:27Open the door.
00:15:29No fault for you, Cinderella.

00:15:32Donna.
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.
00:16:06You know, most people would have cracked under a 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.
00:16:19That's your gift, baby.
00:16:22And no one can take that from you.
00:16:25So whatever's got you down, you'll figure it out.

00:20:56Guys, why can I feel my ease?
00:21:00Congratulations, your very first hangover.
00:21:01What are you doing in my room?
00:21:03And why are you serious?
00:21:04Oh my God, relax.
00:21:06You know, I carried your drunken ass back from the dorms last night, and I figured someone
00:21:13should look after you.
00:21:16Chloe, pretty comfortable.
00:21:20That's from Chloe, right?
00:21:23Yeah.
00:21:25What does it say?
00:21:29Brad?
00:21:30I don't know.
00:21:31I'm nervous.
00:21:36I can't get myself to open it.
00:21:38What if she thinks I'm lame?
00:21:41You're Brad Starling.
00:21:43You don't run away from the letter.
00:21:45Yeah.
00:21:46I hate you, Mom.
00:21:56Hello, stranger.
00:21:58No one's ever written to me like that before.
00:22:01It's very romantic.
00:22:03My favorite book is The Night Circus, and I'd love to know yours.
00:22:11See?
00:22:13Wow.
00:22:14She doesn't hate me.
00:22:16Yeah.
00:22:17This is great.
00:22:18So what do I do?
00:22:18Do I ask her out?
00:22:21What?
00:22:22No.
00:22:24No, no.
00:22:24We need to write back first, obviously.
00:22:30What's your favorite book?
00:22:34I don't know.
00:22:34Shrek?
00:22:36Brad, that's a movie.
00:22:38There's a book.
00:22:39There's a book.
00:22:41You're a walking tragedy.
00:22:43We're going to the library.
00:22:44I mean, let me, uh, a word.
00:22:49We both know these jocks didn't write their essays.
00:22:55The principal wants to see you in his office.
00:23:00Okay.
00:23:01You wanted to see me?
00:23:15We're investigating an academic fraud ring, Paper Hearts.
00:23:19Know anything about it?
00:23:21Nope.
00:23:22Well, we traced the phone number late to the app.
00:23:24We're about to call it.
00:23:25I'm giving you one chance to tell me the truth before we do.
00:23:29Uh, I...
00:23:32I don't know anything about it.
00:23:34Hmm.
00:23:34She's not involved.
00:24:00I've known you a long time.
00:24:02She's a diligent and honest student.
00:24:05Well, if you hear anything, we expect your cooperation.
00:24:10Of course.
00:24:21Hey, back from the principal's office.
00:24:24What was that about?
00:24:26I have to shut it down.
00:24:29Shut what down?
00:24:31Paper hearts.
00:24:33They're on to me.
00:24:34If I get caught, I'm done.
00:24:35Well, hey, don't worry about it.
00:24:37Look, it's going to be okay.
00:24:39I'm sure you're going to survive without scamming the school out of half of its lunch line.
00:24:43What did you just say?
00:24:46Nothing.
00:24:47Nothing.
00:24:47Listen, it's just like pocket change.
00:24:49It's going to be okay.
00:24:50You know, you know nothing about real life.
00:24:55Since the day you were born, you've just been shielded by daddy's money.
00:24:59So write your own stupid letters from now on.
00:25:01Mia, what the?
00:25:03Mia.
00:25:03The last payment didn't go through.
00:25:19I...
00:25:20I can't work right now.
00:25:23I just need a little time.
00:25:24We've got a week, maybe less, before they cut off her treatment.
00:25:29I'll figure it out.
00:25:29I'm not dumb enough to link my real phone to the app.
00:25:45Even if they're onto me.
00:25:49I don't have a choice.
00:25:50I don't have a choice.
00:26:15Yeah, hey.
00:26:24Come on, let's go.
00:26:26For what?
00:26:27A date.
00:26:29Now?
00:26:30Yeah, right now.
00:26:32The night's young.
00:26:33Tonight, we run the streets.
00:26:35Let's go.
00:26:36Let's go.
00:26:45Did you ever hear about how long dolphins are like wet dogs?
00:26:51What?
00:26:54I read about it online.
00:26:56It kind of like makes you think.
00:27:00Yeah, yeah.
00:27:05Oh, hey.
00:27:06Watch this.
00:27:06Watch this.
00:27:06It's all right.
00:27:22Not the next one.
00:27:23Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:27:23Wait, wait.
00:27:25Oh, okay.
00:27:27Woo!
00:27:30Yeah.
00:27:31All right.
00:27:31Look at that.
00:27:33For my lady.
00:27:36Hey, can we get a ice cream, too, please?
00:27:42Um, what the hell are you doing here?
00:27:44Why are you wearing Brad's jacket?
00:27:47And Dan, really?
00:27:49Are you actually trying to hook up with this desk rat?
00:27:51We're on a date.
00:27:52Samantha, what do you want?
00:27:53If you're going to steal my boyfriend, don't get mad when I steal yours.
00:27:58Dan, I could really use your help with my chem homework.
00:28:02Like, in my dorm.
00:28:04Oh.
00:28:05Yeah, Samantha's got this project.
00:28:09I'll be right back.
00:28:10Just, yeah.
00:28:11Let's go.
00:28:18That's five bucks for the ice creams.
00:28:20Hey.
00:28:34Hey.
00:28:39Yeah.
00:28:40Yeah.
00:29:40I'm sorry.
00:29:45It's the last time.
00:29:49Did you start the second letter?
00:29:51Yeah, I had to write it by myself.
00:29:53Well, at least I tried to write it.
00:29:55Well, see ya.
00:29:57It'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.
00:30:27Very romantic, very gushy, a lot of stargazing, and 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...
00:30:56She 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.
00:31:05That one's perfect for you.
00:31:13Isn't this a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio?
00:31:16Yeah, yeah.
00:31:16That's the one.
00:31:19Well...
00:31:20Why do you think this is perfect for me?
00:31:24Because...
00:31:25You're always chasing your green light.
00:31:30Hey.
00:31:32There you are.
00:31:32I'm looking for you.
00:31:36Well, that's my cue.
00:31:38For real.
00:31:53Hey.
00:31:58I've been thinking about you.
00:32:00Really?
00:32:01It must be hard with Samantha's tongue so far down your throat.
00:32:05What?
00:32:07Hey, babe, what happened?
00:32:09Hey, I promise.
00:32:11Look, you are the only person that matters to me.
00:32:15Okay.
00:32:16Why?
00:32:18Why what?
00:32:20Why do I matter?
00:32:22What are you into?
00:32:22I'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.
00:32:52Anything else?
00:32:54Uh...
00:32:54What?
00:32:56Are you, like, trying to confuse me?
00:32:57Mm-hmm.
00:32:57Okay, wait.
00:33:02You're beautiful.
00:33:03Oh, you already said that.
00:33:06Babe, 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...
00:33:23She 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.
00:34:05I'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.
00:34:13No, that's not how this works.
00:34:15You need to let her wonder.
00:34:17Let her wonder, huh?
00:34:19Yeah.
00:34:19Or 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.
00:34:32Right, I'm sure.
00:34:40Look who's back.
00:34:42Deskrat herself.
00:34:44What's in the back, Rat?
00:34:46Another tragic hoodie, or did Goodwill finally cut you off?
00:34:50Don't.
00:34:51Just some of it, but 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.
00:35:07Too busy playing for the other team.
00:35:09I'm sure, Samantha, give it back.
00:35:12Yes?
00:35:12It'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.
00:35:33Samantha, 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 your bag back right now.
00:35:43This is all her fault.
00:35:55Thanks.
00:36:00Brad.
00:36:01You didn't give Chloe the letter?
00:36:04I...
00:36:04Yeah.
00:36:06You lied to me.
00:36:07No.
00:36:08Yeah, you didn't.
00:36:09No, I didn't.
00:36:13No.
00:36:36Brad.
00:36:38Please.
00:36:43Who is it?
00:36:54It's Brad.
00:36:59Come in.
00:37:10Why didn't she 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?
00:37:21Fuck 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.
00:37:30Or 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 don't know.
00:37:43I need you, Mia.
00:37:57I put the letter in Chloe's locker and she wrote back.
00:38:00But I just, I can't read it that name.
00:38:06I'm not doing this anymore.
00:38:14Please.
00:38:14Please.
00:38:14Dear Chloe, I don't know how to tell you what you make me feel without sounding like a
00:38:42total 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.
00:38:53Like you're trying to scare the words into 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.
00:39:03You make the world's chaos quieter just by being in it.
00:39:15Brad.
00:39:16She wrote back.
00:39:42I'm going to throw up.
00:39:43Okay, let's read it.
00:39:50Dear 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.
00:40:02But every story has to step off the page eventually.
00:40:08What if we met?
00:40:12She wants to meet?
00:40:16Oh, my God.
00:40:20I'm going to throw up.
00:40:23Okay, let's read it.
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.
00:40:41Oh, that's good.
00:40:42But every story has to step off the page eventually.
00:40:48What if we met?
00:40:52She wants to meet?
00:40:56Oh, my God.
00:40:57What's this?
00:41:08It's a coolie favorite band.
00:41:10You wanted 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 when their thing is basketball and burping the alphabet.
00:41:22You remember that?
00:41:24Yeah.
00:41:24That's bad.
00:41:26That's really bad.
00:41:28Oh, my God.
00:41:29Okay, so let's see.
00:41:31Okay.
00:41:33Chloe's favorite book?
00:41:35The Night Circus.
00:41:37Okay.
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?
00:41:53Um, 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.
00:42:05Okay.
00:42:06Um, you're taking her on the first date.
00:42:09Where are you going?
00:42:11The drive-in movie theater.
00:42:13Hmm.
00:42:15Cool.
00:42:15Let me ask you something.
00:42:20If someone were to take you on a date, where would you want to go?
00:42:26It'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.
00:42:33You're lying.
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.
00:42:48Well, 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.
00:42:58No, I'm serious.
00:43:00It's not a joke.
00:43:01It's not going to happen.
00:43:03It's happening.
00:43:12All right, driver's head time.
00:43:14You ready?
00:43:14I'm not doing it.
00:43:16Come on, you're a genius.
00:43:18How are you driving?
00:43:19No, I'm serious.
00:43:20Brad, please just drop it.
00:43:21Look, 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.
00:43:28And my mom's been in the hospital ever since.
00:43:30So, uh, I'm not driving.
00:43:37I got an idea.
00:43:40All right, so why don't you just stay right here?
00:43:43Okay.
00:43:43Okay.
00:43:51What are you doing?
00:43:57We're going to take it slow.
00:43:59Just like a turtle.
00:44:01And look at...
00:44:02Nothing's going to happen.
00:44:06Do you trust me?
00:44:08I do.
00:44:10Great.
00:44:12Hop on in.
00:44:13Okay.
00:44:14Okay.
00:44:16I'm going to get you a drift.
00:44:18I'm okay.
00:44:19Let me see.
00:44:24Cube.
00:44:24Oh, God.
00:44:27You've got this.
00:44:31Perfect.
00:44:32All right.
00:44:33That's the brake.
00:44:34That's the gas.
00:44:36We're in drive.
00:44:39That's reverse.
00:44:40Okay.
00:44:40All right.
00:44:41So, it's a neutral right now.
00:44:43Whenever you're ready, put it in drive.
00:44:46Slowly put it on the gas.
00:44:48Okay.
00:44:49On the gas.
00:44:51Right on the gas.
00:44:52Hold on.
00:44:53No, no, no.
00:44:57Okay.
00:44:58All right.
00:44:59Wow, that was great.
00:45:00No, no, no, no.
00:45:01Hey.
00:45:01No, hey.
00:45:02Hey, I 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!
00:45:18Lucas?
00:45:20Oh, my God.
00:45:22What?
00:45:23Do you couple really look at each other like that?
00:45:25I mean, come on.
00:45:27Yeah.
00:45:28If they're blind.
00:45:31Watch your brother get a kiss right here.
00:45:33Right here.
00:45:34Oh.
00:45:35Oh, God, babe.
00:45:37Wow.
00:45:38Look at you.
00:45:39I just don't understand why people think this stuff is, like, so romantic.
00:45:45It's the buildup.
00:45:47The anticipation, you know?
00:45:48It's like her.
00:45:49You can chase your company goodbye.
00:45:53So, are you sure?
00:45:56I think they're getting more sure of anything in my whole life.
00:46:06What about your mom and then company?
00:46:09Sorry, I need to take this.
00:46:11It's okay.
00:46:12Hello?
00:46:14I'll be right there.
00:46:18Mom?
00:46:19You said it was an emergency?
00:46:20It'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.
00:46:32It'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.
00:46:46Her 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.
00:46:57Yeah, no.
00:46:58There are other options.
00:46:59It's okay.
00:47:00I'll figure it out.
00:47:01Yeah.
00:47:01Trust me.
00:47:03I'll figure it out.
00:47:15Hey.
00:47:19I'm such a freaking idiot.
00:47:21This whole time, paper hearts, it's...
00:47:24That'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.
00:47:30Hey, hey, hey, it'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?
00:47:46We're not doing it alone.
00:47:48Yeah.
00:47:56We're not doing it.
00:48:10We're not doing it.
00:48:12You know what?
00:48:12We're not doing it.
00:48:13Pretty good for team morale.
00:48:40You're insane.
00:48:41Hey, I've been called that before, actually.
00:48:44Uh, you'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.
00:49:04Okay, give me a step. Come on.
00:49:06Oh, no.
00:49:08I'm falling for him.
00:49:11Come on!
00:49:13You have to work.
00:49:18Just five more essays.
00:49:20Is that why I didn't give Chloe the letter?
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?
00:49:39Just repeat them.
00:49:40No improvising.
00:49:41Okay?
00:49:41What if I think it's something really funny to say?
00:49:45Well, then just keep it to yourself.
00:49:47Okay.
00:49:48Yep.
00:49:48Wow.
00:49:49My very own dating coach.
00:49:51Yeah.
00:49:52You need it.
00:49:53So.
00:49:54You ready?
00:49:55Oh, I'm ready.
00:49:57Oh.
00:49:57Smile 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?
00:50:09I'm right here.
00:50:11Okay.
00:50:11She's coming.
00:50:11She's coming.
00:50:12Brad Sterling.
00:50:19Hi.
00:50:20It's great to officially meet you.
00:50:22You too.
00:50:25Okay.
00:50:28Wow.
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.
00:50:40You 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 that it's lost all of its meaning.
00:51:03But it has it with you.
00:51:08So.
00:51:10Why me?
00:51:11Why the letters?
00:51:14You're smooth.
00:51:14You smell.
00:51:16You smell.
00:51:18I'm sorry?
00:51:21You smell like a wet dog in the summer.
00:51:26What?
00:51:28No, no, no.
00:51:28Say.
00:51:29I mean, in the sun.
00:51:31I mean.
00:51:31Is that better?
00:51:31No, no, no.
00:51:33Say.
00:51:34Say.
00:51:34You're easy to talk to.
00:51:36Because 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.
00:51:50Olives?
00:51:51It's an overrated book.
00:51:53Uh-huh.
00:51:53It's overrated.
00:51:56I mean.
00:51:57Okay.
00:51:57No, no, no.
00:51:58Look.
00:51:59Oh, my God.
00:51:59Oh, my.
00:52:00I knew this was a mistake, so I think I'm just going to go.
00:52:03No, no.
00:52:04Don't let her leave.
00:52:05Stole her.
00:52:06I'm just going to 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 I 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 have been watching and kind of.
00:52:37What is he saying?
00:52:38Sorry.
00:52:46He'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.
00:53:02He's got this.
00:53:04He doesn't need me anymore.
00:53:06He's got this.
00:53:07He's got this.
00:53:07He doesn't need me anymore.
00:53:08How many more?
00:53:09I understand.
00:53:10Mm-hmm.
00:53:10What do you think?
00:53:12Oh, my God.
00:53:14What do you think?
00:53:16Whoa.
00:53:17Hey, Mia.
00:53:20Hey.
00:53:25It's not what it looks like.

00:55:53I have zero time or interest in dealing with you.
00:56:01Relax, Descartes. I'm not here to fight.
00:56:04Then what do you want?
00:56:06Imagine my surprise when your dumbass accidentally sends me your personal info straight from the Paper Hearts account. Exhausted much?
00:56:16I have no idea what you're talking about. That's not mine.
00:56:21Come along. Two phones. Weird for a broke little charity case.
00:56:25Get out.
00:56:26Smile.
00:56:27Give me my phone back.
00:56:29Holy shit.
00:56:30It's you.
00:56:31You're Paper Hearts.
00:56:32Please.
00:56:33Please, it's you know that 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.
00:56:41Why is Brad always with you?
00:56:43I need to tell him about Samantha.
00:56:50Hey.
00:56:51Hey.
00:56:52Hey.
00:56:53You look beautiful.
00:56:55How was your class?
00:56:56It was good.
00:56:57It was good.
00:56:58It was good.
00:56:59Ready for practice tonight?
00:57:00Yeah.
00:57:01Hey.
00:57:02Mia.
00:57:03Mia.
00:57:04Hey.
00:57:05I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:57:06I, um, Chloe.
00:57:08This is Mia, my good friend.
00:57:11And Mia, this is Chloe.
00:57:14My girlfriend.
00:57:15Hi.
00:57:16Brad talks about you all the time.
00:57:19Yeah, same.
00:57:22Um, I actually had something to tell you.
00:57:26Yeah, what's up?
00:57:27Uh, I, I broke up with Dan.
00:57:32Oh, really?
00:57:34Well, that's great.
00:57:35He's, uh, a total moron.
00:57:37Yeah, I'm sure you deserve much better.
00:57:39Yeah.
00:57:40Well, I'll see you guys around.
00:57:42Hey, Mia, why don't you, uh, come to the gateway?
00:57:45Yeah.
00:57:46I'll, I'll sit with you if you want.
00:57:47Yeah, it'll be great.
00:57:48Yeah, maybe.
00:57:49Um, see you guys around.
00:57:51Yeah.
00:57:52Okay, I'll be here.
00:58:14Hell of a love story, isn't it?
00:58:16Hmm.
00:58:17Shane, it's all a lie.
00:58:19I figured out why you were writing those letters.
00:58:21Shut up.
00:58:22Here's the deal.
00:58:23You tell Chloe the truth.
00:58:25That you're the one writing all those sweet little letters.
00:58:28Or I do.
00:58:29And if I do, the principal gets your whole file.
00:58:32Your whole file.
00:58:33Now.
00:58:37Oh.
00:58:42Oh, my God.
00:58:47Go on.
00:58:56Okay.
00:59:01Sorry.
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.
00:59:13I need to tell you something.
00:59:15I need to tell you something.
00:59:17Ron, are you okay?
00:59:23I'm okay.
00:59:24Are you okay?
00:59:25I'm okay.
00:59:26I'm okay.
00:59:28I'll be back.
00:59:29Good luck.
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.
00:59:44Go on.
00:59:44Tell her.
00:59:47I 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.
01:00:06So, everything was a lie?
01:00:10It wasn't a lie.
01:00:11At all.
01:00:12I...
01:00:12Oh.
01:00:14Chloe.
01:00:15Wait.
01:00:16I...
01:00:17No.
01:00:22Where you going, man?
01:00:23I'm fucking believable.
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 desperate as a new chick found out.
01:00:50No, actually.
01:00:51I heard she's been screwing Professor Luke for her grades.
01:00:56Probably half the faculty.
01:00:58Shame that, uh...
01:01:00That pathetic war 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.
01:01:27What the hell's your problem?
01:01:29Don't you ever talk about her like that again.
01:01:38You ever told her everything, huh?
01:01:49No.
01:01:49Everything?
01:01:50Oh, what's wrong with their hair?
01:01:52Captain.
01:01:52My captain.
01:01:55What the fuck's up, bitch?
01:01:56Come on, then.
01:01:57You think you're some kind of hero?
01:02:01Oh, my God.
01:02:02Get out of here.
01:02:06Get out of here.
01:02:07I'm sorry about your boy toy princess.
01:02:09Hey, hey!
01:02:11Hey, horse!
01:02:13Hey!
01:02:15Sorry, Brad.
01:02:19Let's go! Come on!
01:02:21Oh my gosh! Brad! Brad!
01:02:25Hey, hey, hey, hey! It's okay, it's okay!
01:02:31Okay!
01:02:37It's gonna be quick!
01:02:39Don't trip, it's okay!
01:02:41Hurry!
01:02:45Okay! Okay!
01:02:51It's just driving.
01:02:57Okay, you're gonna make it Brad, okay?
01:02:59Stay with me!
01:03:01Okay!
01:03:07I'm so sorry this happened.
01:03:13It's all my fault.
01:03:19I wish...
01:03:21you would've never asked me for help.
01:03:23I wish I would've just...
01:03:25stayed invisible to you.
01:03:29None of this would've ever happened.
01:03:31I would've never fallen for you.
01:03:37I would've never fallen for you.
01:03:39I would've never fallen for you.
01:03:55Oh!
01:03:56It's you!
01:03:57Chloe!
01:03:58Hear me out, please!
01:03:59What do you want, Mia?
01:04:00For you to know the truth?
01:04:01Yeah!
01:04:02Brad lied, okay?
01:04:03But he didn't mean to hurt you.
01:04:04It's not up to the liar to decide whether the lie hurts or not.
01:04:05I know.
01:04:06I know!
01:04:07He...
01:04:08He just fell for you so hard.
01:04:09He didn't even know how to act like himself.
01:04:10I mean, look at everything he's done to make you happy!
01:04:12Has anyone in the school ever done anything for anyone?
01:04:13He's done?
01:04:14I know!
01:04:15I know!
01:04:16I know he...
01:04:17He just fell for you so hard he didn't even know how to act like himself!
01:04:18I mean, look at everything he's done to make you happy!
01:04:20Has anyone in this school ever done anything like that for anyone?
01:04:24No!
01:04:25I know.
01:04:26I know he doesn't erase what he's done, but...
01:04:28It should at least mean something?
01:04:31See?
01:04:32Okay.
01:04:33I can't.
01:04:34I don't know.
01:04:35I can't.
01:04:36I can't.
01:04:37You can't.
01:04:38I can't.
01:04:39I can't.
01:04:40thing. You think he really cares about me? I know he does. And I know you do too. I
01:04:53only came because I got scared when I found out. That's not why you're here. And you?
01:05:02I'm letting go. Okay. Hey, are you okay?
01:05:32I'm almost there. With Brad's help, just a little more, and I'll have enough for mom's surgery.
01:05:55Excellent work, as always, Mia.
01:06:32Mia? Where are you going?
01:06:49She's currently with the Professor Luke. That's why she gets straight A's. Some people are just
01:06:56desperate.
01:07:13Oh, gosh. What do you want? I did what you asked. Except you did it. And now it's time to pay the price.
01:07:20No, I told her the truth. You chickened out. And now Brad's still with her, not me.
01:07:29It's not my fault that he hates you.
01:07:30Please. If it weren't for your little love letters, he wouldn't even know she exists.
01:07:36You're seriously blaming this on me because he doesn't want to be with you?
01:07:40You need help. Give it back. Excuse me. What are you doing? Nope. All this from homework?
01:07:51What are you doing? Give me my phone. Oh, just call it interest for fucking out my love.
01:07:57You're going to regret that. Help! Help! Please, she's attacking me!
01:08:14Any other student would be expelled for this. But, give me your academic record, two-week suspension.
01:08:30Effective immediately.
01:08:32What? Principal Matthews, you can't do this. I need to be at school. I have nothing else. She stole my money.
01:08:39What money? Where would someone like her even get money?
01:08:42That's all, Mia. You can go.
01:08:43No!
01:08:47I said you can go.
01:08:49Sorry.
01:08:51She's...
01:08:51I said you can go.
01:08:53Samantha!
01:08:59Samantha!
01:09:01Please!
01:09:02I need that money for my mom's surgery.
01:09:04Not my problem.
01:09:05I can't just take what's not yours.
01:09:08Isn't that exactly what you did with Brad?
01:09:14At this rate, it'll take me a decade to earn the money back.
01:09:18Oh, my goodness.
01:09:23Death's wrestling and wieners 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, or is that pro bono just for the faculty?
01:09:35Get out of here! What are you doing?
01:09:40Oops!
01:09:42You know, this is your penis.
01:09:44Hey!
01:09:45It's all downhill from here.
01:09:46Oh, my God.
01:09:49What the hell is going on?
01:09:51It wasn't me.
01:09:52I swear.
01:09:52This comes out of your paycheck.
01:09:54What?
01:09:55I...
01:09:56I...
01:09:56I'm so sorry.
01:09:58I'm...
01:09:59You're lucky she got you to the hospital in time.
01:10:16Who?
01:10:17Mia.
01:10:19She drove you.
01:10:20No.
01:10:21No, Mia can't drive.
01:10:24She did that right.
01:10:25You were my everything.
01:10:32Jackson, you looks like you were about to...
01:10:34Jesus, back there.
01:10:35This part's my favorite.
01:10:35The way they realized they loved each other all along.
01:10:40Right.
01:10:41After three conversations and a kiss in the rain.
01:10:44Very realistic.
01:10:47It's romantic.
01:10:50It's cheesy.
01:10:50You don't have to watch with me.
01:10:56No, I want you.
01:10:58I want you.
01:10:59I'm sorry.
01:10:59I'm...
01:11:01I'm sorry.
01:11:02Okay.
01:11:03Hi, Dad.
01:11:25I wish you were here.
01:11:36You didn't 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.
01:11:48And I've tried so hard.
01:12:03Why did you leave?
01:12:07Oh, my God.
01:12:08Hey, hey, hey, hey.
01:12:10I got you.
01:12:12You okay?
01:12:14Hey, hey.
01:12:16It's okay.
01:12:16It's okay.
01:12:18It's okay.
01:12:20I'm sorry.
01:12:31It's all over.
01:12:33All the money is gone.
01:12:38Even if I worked every second, it wouldn't be enough.
01:12:43You know, when I came out here and I...
01:12:46I saw you...
01:12:48I got so scared.
01:12:53Samantha took everything.
01:12:55I know.
01:12:55Every cent.
01:12:57And she knows who I am.
01:12:59She 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.
01:13:07How?
01:13:09How?
01:13:09She 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?
01:13:24Let'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.
01:14:04Everything that Mia worked so hard to get.
01:14:07Even if that were true, which it's not,
01:14:10how would a charity case like her have thousands just lying around?
01:14:14Here's your proof.
01:14:15Every 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?
01:14:24This 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
01:14:31as long as you get what you want, right?
01:14:34You want to play a bat game?
01:14:36Fine.
01:14:36You want to talk about liars?
01:14:38Here's your perfect straight A student
01:14:41running a whole cheating empire under your nose.
01:14:44Paper hearts.
01:14:44That'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.
01:15:05I always have, and Mia has never had anything to do with it.
01:15:11Do you fully understand the consequences of your confession, Brad?
01:15:14Yes, I do.
01:15:17So, you expect me to believe a student like you, who's barely turned in a completed essay his
01:15:24entire high school career?
01:15:26Well, that was exactly the point.
01:15:29No one would ever suspect it was me.
01:15:32You didn't.
01:15:32But yes, I ran paper hearts.
01:15:35I hired people to write the essays.
01:15:37I ran the app.
01:15:38I handled all the finances.
01:15:39And 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?
01:15:54Frankly, 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're 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.
01:16:14But if you want to press show look, theft of this amount will put you behind bars for five years.
01:16:20Now, maybe your daddy's attorneys and lawyers can shave it down one or two years.
01:16:27It's your choice.
01:16:35Thanks, 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, one of the 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.
01:17:14Oh, my God.
01:17:18Remind me not to piss you off.
01:17:20You 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.
01:17:32Please, 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.
01:17:49Hey, 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.
01:18:04Wait here.
01:18:10Hey.
01:18:10Hey.
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.
01:18:17I 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, God.
01:19:01Neither one of us could sing to save our lives.
01:19:05But he got up anyway.
01:19:07Sang horribly.
01:19:10Just to make me laugh.
01:19:15Everyone was staring.
01:19:18But all I could see was him.
01:19:23That's it?
01:19:24Love isn't some big moment, sweetie.
01:19:30It's the little ones.
01:19:33That make you feel seen.
01:19:36Safe.
01:19:37You 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.
01:20:07Because she's my friend.
01:20:10I think you do know.
01:20:11We're too different.
01:20:29But you and her,
01:20:32it always makes sense.
01:20:36Write your own words this time.
01:21:06Please welcome to the stage, the one and only, Valedictorian Mia Brooks.
01:21:16Congratulations.
01:21:19I'm so proud of you.
01:21:21Thanks.
01:21:22Absolutely.
01:21:23Oh, wow.
01:21:25Good afternoon, everyone.
01:21:30I had a whole speech planned about hard work and dedication and all 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.
01:21:52Love isn't some perfect story with a guaranteed happy ending.
01:21:58It's confusing, terrifying, and it makes you mess up over and over and over again.
01:22:08Because suddenly someone else's happiness matters more than your own.
01:22:15And sometimes the scariest part isn't even falling for someone.
01:22:19It's letting them see you, all of you, and trusting that they won't walk away.
01:22:26I've spent so much time writing stories for everyone else.
01:22:31I think it's time I write my own.
01:22:34Congratulations, class of 2025.
01:22:37It's time I take my own advice.
01:22:40Bye.
01:22:41What the heck?
01:22:43Well, the show must go on, everyone.
01:22:45We have our next runner-up valedictorian, Chloe Hartwell.
01:22:55Brad.
01:22:57Yeah?
01:22:58What are you doing?
01:22:59You're supposed to be at graduation.
01:23:00Yeah, why aren't you at graduation?
01:23:02I already got my diploma.
01:23:04No ceremony for me.
01:23:05Um...
01:23:06My parents are moving tomorrow.
01:23:07New investment.
01:23:08New town.
01:23:09Tomorrow?
01:23:10You were just gonna leave without saying anything?
01:23:11I figured you'd be better off.
01:23:13I got your letter.
01:23:14Yeah.
01:23:15Any notes?
01:23:16I got your letter.
01:23:17Any notes?
01:23:18I got too scared to read it.
01:23:19I thought we could do it together.
01:23:20Yeah.
01:23:21I got too scared to read it.
01:23:22I thought we could do it together.
01:23:23No.
01:23:24No.
01:23:25No.
01:23:26No.
01:23:27No.
01:23:28No.
01:23:29No.
01:23:30No.
01:23:31No.
01:23:32No.
01:23:33No.
01:23:34No.
01:23:35No.
01:23:36No.
01:23:37No.
01:23:38No.
01:23:39No.
01:23:40No.
01:23:41No.
01:23:42No.
01:23:43No.
01:23:44No.
01:23:45No.
01:23:46No.
01:23:47No.
01:23:48No.
01:23:49No.
01:23:50No.
01:23:51No.

01:25:12It's just you and me, boy
01:25:14If I could stop this, I'd be fine
01:25:19I'll take your eyes off my baby
01:25:23I don't know what I need
01:25:26I'll take you back
01:25:29I've been waiting for a moment
01:25:32I'm in my sweaters right now
01:25:38I'll take you back
01:25:44I'll take my heart
01:25:46I'll take you back

01:26:18you're going to have to learn how to drive.
01:26:20I'm already regretting this.
01:26:21Good, that's the spirit.
01:26:23We're going to die.
01:26:25No, we're going to be great.
01:26:28This is going to be awesome.
01:26:30Ready?
01:26:30Yep.
01:26:36Not too bad, huh?
01:26:38Not too bad.
01:26:39Not too bad.
01:26:42So, what now?
01:27:09Anything?
01:27:12Everything?
01:27:13Sounds terrifying.
