00:00My name is Penelope Jones, but everyone calls me Penny for short.
00:12Well, everyone except for him. Mason Brown, star quarterback of Maple High, my neighbor,
00:26my best friend, and the boy I've had a crush on since the third grade.
00:30Penelope, calm down. I'm here to rescue you.
00:39Mason, where the heck are we going?
00:43Shh. I don't want to wake your mom up.
00:47It was the kind of summer you'd never forget.
00:50Every moment with Mason made my heart race, and he had no idea.
00:55Look, it's a surprise. Let's go.
01:05Mason, the pool's closed. How did you get the keys?
01:08Courtesy of lifeguard, Brett. You owe me a favor.
01:12Oh, Penelope, my sweet, sweet Penelope.
01:15You gotta stop worrying about everything and live a little.
01:18What are you waiting for? Come on.
01:29We're not supposed to be in here.
01:31Rise up here, Romeo.
01:48Why are you looking at me like that?
01:57Healthy. I've been there for me. Through everything.
02:01We failed driver's tests. We had haircuts.
02:05When I lost my mom with cancer.
02:08You were the most important person in my life.
02:12I'll watch you in it forever.
02:15All summer I've wanted to do this.
02:18Mason Brown, do you have any idea what you're doing?
02:33It's not my fault they made girls' clothing so complicated.
02:36It's not these damn things.
02:57My first time with my best friend Mason Brown.
03:01The boy I love.
03:06It was everything I ever wanted.
03:13Never been in the community center at night.
03:15A lot of firsts tonight, I guess.
03:18Are you sure you're okay?
03:19Stop worrying, Mason.
03:21Just don't be weird when school starts, okay?
03:23All right. Come on.
03:25Hey, wait.
03:27What?
03:31Mom, I just went for...
03:46Honey, take a seat.
03:48There's something we need to talk about.
03:50Hey, Pinoffi.
04:03So, uh...
04:04Homecoming's coming up.
04:06Uh...
04:07Do you want to be my girlfriend and come with me?
04:20No.
04:21Mason.
04:23I don't want to go to homecoming with you.
04:25And I definitely don't want to be your girlfriend.
04:27Oh my gosh.
04:28What's our problem?
04:29What?
04:30Oh my gosh.
04:31What?
04:32Oh my gosh.
04:33You're not serious, right?
04:34I thought...
04:35You thought wrong.
04:36Look, let's not confuse sex with love.
04:38It was fun for the summer.
04:40But I don't want anything serious with you.
04:42Sorry.
04:43Did that dumb bitch seriously just turn down Mason Brown?
04:47Who does she even think she is?
04:48She's like bottom of the food chain.
04:50Mason's the quarterback.
04:51Everyone knows he should be with you, Valerie.
05:00I gotta get to class.
05:01I'll see you around, okay?
05:03Wait, is something wrong?
05:04Look, Penelope, I've known you for 12 years.
05:06This isn't you.
05:07Can we please just talk later?
05:08I gotta do something wrong.
05:09Let's talk about it now.
05:10Mason, please, just stop!
05:11That night was real.
05:12Okay, I didn't imagine.
05:13Quiet.
05:14You're just bad at sex, okay?
05:19Oh my God.
05:20Yeah, I mean, you were terrible in bed.
05:23You tried it.
05:25Didn't like it.
05:26Let's not make it a big deal.
05:28We're just friends.
05:29Okay?
05:41I'm so sorry, Mason.
05:42You don't deserve this.
05:43But I'm dying from cancer.
05:44And I can't be another person you lose.
05:46If I need to push you away to protect you, I will.
05:48Whatever it takes to keep you from any pain, just like I promised.
05:55But I'm dying from cancer.
05:57And I can't be another person you lose.
06:00If I need to push you away to protect you, I will.
06:03Whatever it takes to keep you from any pain, just like I promised.
06:09My mommy said your mom's in a better place now.
06:13One where she won't have to hurt anyone.
06:14But you don't want me anymore.
06:16Now I'm all alone and I'm so scared.
06:19And it just hurts so bad.
06:21Why did you leave me?
06:23Why?
06:23She didn't leave it.
06:25She's up there now.
06:26In the clouds.
06:27Watching over you and keeping you safe.
06:29And here on earth, I will keep you safe so your mommy doesn't have to worry.
06:33I will protect you, Mason.
06:35So you never ever have to hurt again.
06:39Don't worry, Mrs. Brown.
06:41I will protect Mason.
06:42Always.
06:43I promise.
06:47Oh, honey, you look exhausted.
06:49I really just wish you'd reconsider dropping out just until your cancer treatments are finished.
06:55Focus on getting better.
06:57We already talked about this, mom.
06:59There's no guarantee the treatment will work.
07:01Besides, if I drop out now, that means giving up Romeo and Juliet.
07:06And I can't do that.
07:08Penny, it's just a play.
07:10It's not.
07:11Mom, this is everything I've ever dreamed of since I was a little kid.
07:15I just, I want to be on stage with Mason, like when we were kids, and forget that I have cancer.
07:23Forget that I'm dying.
07:23If he gets a part of Romeo and I get Juliet, I'll be able to hold on to one perfect moment before I'm gone.
07:34Okay.
07:35All right, you can do the play.
07:37All right, but you have to take care of your health.
07:40Yeah.
07:40Yeah.
07:43The minute you get into any kind of trouble, I am pulling you out.
07:47That's no more school, no Romeo and Juliet.
07:51Okay.
07:52Have you told Mason about the cancer?
07:57Is it healthy?
07:58You home?
07:59Oh my god.
08:01It's Mason.
08:01Mom, please tell him I'm not here.
08:04And whatever you do, do not tell him about the cancer.
08:07Please.
08:08I think you should tell him the truth.
08:10He'll understand.
08:11Mom, just do this for me.
08:13His mom died of cancer, remember?
08:15If he finds out, it'll only break him even more.
08:17Why put him through that?
08:22Oh, hey, Miss J.
08:26Is Penelope home?
08:27Um, she's, she's not home right now.
08:33She's out with some friends.
08:35You want to come back later?
08:37Yeah.
08:38Okay.
08:39Thanks, Miss J.
08:40Oh, Mason.
08:49I may not know how much time I have left, but I do know this.
08:53I want my last words for you to be honest.
08:56Real.
08:57Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
09:28Mason, did you just climb my balcony?
09:31Are you insane?
09:32What if you slipped and fell and broke your neck or something?
09:36Penelope, what was that in your hand?
09:39What are you hiding?
09:44Um, hiding something.
09:46Hey, please, Mason, I was just rehearsing for the play.
09:50Um, so, what are you doing here?
09:54I wanted to talk.
09:55I know you got your mom the cover for you, who, by the way, has always sucked at lying.
10:00But now you're avoiding me?
10:01I wasn't home.
10:02Since when do best friends lie to each other?
10:04First, you embarrassed me in front of the whole school, and now you can't even be honest
10:07with me?
10:10Please.
10:12Mason, I already told you.
10:14I just don't like you like that.
10:16We're just friends.
10:17That's all we'll ever be.
10:19That night was just for fun.
10:23I want the truth, Penelope.
10:27Fine.
10:28You want the truth?
10:29It's because...
10:30I'm in love with Dean.
10:33He's the one I want.
10:34Bullshit.
10:36You don't love Dean.
10:36You barely even talk to him.
10:37I didn't say it earlier because I didn't think I had to spell it out.
10:40He's hot, and he's smart, and he understands me in a way you could never.
10:46Oh, give me a break, Penelope.
10:47Look, I know you're the best.
10:49Dean's the biggest dick in school.
10:50He's just going to find a way to fuck you and then drop you like he does with every girl.
10:53You're one to talk.
10:54At least he's not someone who can't take no for an answer.
10:57Hey, it's not romantic, Mason.
10:59It's desperate.
11:00Why can't you just accept the fact that I will never love you?
11:03It's pathetic.
11:04You're being...
11:05Pathetic.
11:09You're right.
11:11I am being pathetic.
11:16You know what, Penelope?
11:18I'm tired.
11:19I'm tired of your games, your lies, and you.
11:24From now on, you're dead to me.
11:26I'm tired of your games, your lies, and you.
11:39From now on, you're dead to me.
11:42Maybe it's better if Mason hates me.
11:44It won't hurt him so much when this cancer wins and I die.
11:48Oh, my God.
11:49The cast list for Romeo and Juliet is up.
11:51So what if it's pretend?
12:06At least I'll get to be with Mason, even if it's just for a little while.
12:10Star-crossed lovers, just like when we were kids.
12:12Romeo, where are thou?
12:15Romeo.
12:16Oh!
12:17I'm not playing Romeo.
12:30Not if you're Juliet.
12:31I'm telling Mr. Felix I quit.
12:37Mason, please.
12:39Romeo is important to you, too.
12:41Remember?
12:42Can't we just be civil?
12:43No, Penelope.
12:44We can't.
12:45We used to go on and on about how Juliet was someone who was kind and who's sweet
12:48and who would risk it all for love.
12:50You're none of that.
12:52You don't deserve to play Juliet.
12:53Mason, please!
12:55Like I said, you're dead to me.
12:58Don't be delusional, Penny.
13:06You did this to yourself.
13:08But if Mason won't play Romeo, what's the point of me staying here any longer?
13:12Mason, being in this play with you, it's my last wish.
13:20Come on, Mason.
13:22She said it herself.
13:23She doesn't want you.
13:24Forget her.
13:28Pathetic Penny is Juliet.
13:35You have got to be kidding me.
13:37Talk about a pity casting.
13:41Everyone knows that I'm the best actress.
13:43And I'm the cheer captain, so I'm the one who belongs up there with Mason Brown,
13:47while you belong in the back with the furniture.
13:50Leave me alone, Valerie.
13:51I don't have time for your pettiness.
13:53Me petty?
13:55I'll show you petty.
13:58Enjoy your 15 minutes of fame, freak.
14:08Freak.
14:13Oh, Val.
14:14She looks upset.
14:16Maybe we should fix her up.
14:18Great idea.
14:19You know, Penny, if you're going to be the lead in the school play, then you've really got to do something about this hair.
14:26I might be dying of cancer, but I'm done letting Valerie walk all over me.
14:30No matter what you do, I earned the lead role in the play.
14:34Well, on the other hand, Val, you're just a pick-me who in the end will never get picked.
14:39What the fuck did you just say to me?
14:44My hair.
14:45From the chemo.
14:46Oh, MG, gross!
14:49Oh, is she shedding?
14:50As if you weren't disgusting enough, you freak, and you have the audacity to even look at me?
15:00Let's see what dirty secrets you're hiding.
15:01No, my medical report is in there.
15:13No, no, no.
15:14My hair.
15:15Mason can't see this.
15:21Get your fucking hands off.
15:22What the fuck is your problem?
15:37Relax, Mason.
15:38I was just trying to sweetly explain to Penny here that you and I belong together.
15:44Isn't that right, girls?
15:45Mm-hmm.
15:48Nice try, Val.
15:49I almost forgot you're a complete bitch.
15:50If you think tormenting Penelope is going to make me like you, you're wrong.
15:55Grow up.
15:56But, Mason!
15:58Thank you for saving me back there.
16:10I didn't save you because I still like you or care or whatever.
16:14I just did what anyone would have done, so don't read into it, all right?
16:18You know, the truth is I don't even know why I bothered saving you.
16:20After the way you gutted me yesterday?
16:22What did you call me?
16:23Pathetic?
16:25Mason, stop.
16:27Please.
16:30I'm just trying to stay friends.
16:32Well, don't do that.
16:33Don't throw friends at me like that fixes anything.
16:34I'm not some backup toy you can pull off the shelf whenever you're bored, all right?
16:37You hurt me, Penelope.
16:38I poured out my heart to you, and you broke it.
16:41You stomped on it in front of the entire school.
16:43And you think we can stay friends after that?
16:45No, I don't want to be friends with someone who...
16:47Hey!
16:49Penelope!
16:51Penelope!
16:51Where...
16:59Where am I?
17:02Where's Mason?
17:03I sent him back to class.
17:04Penny, I just got off the phone with your mom.
17:06I gotta say, I'm really surprised you're still in school.
17:09You know?
17:13Oh my god, did you tell Mason?
17:14No, of course not.
17:16I'm not going to tell another student your medical history.
17:19But that boy was worried sick.
17:22He was crying.
17:24He wouldn't leave your side.
17:26Class is out.
17:28I'm sure he'll be back any moment.
17:30Okay.
17:32Penelope.
17:33No, Penny.
17:35You already lost him.
17:36Act like it.
17:37Are you okay?
17:38That was so scary.
17:39I've never seen him pass out before.
17:40What happened?
17:41It's a recent thing.
17:44It's...
17:44Just low blood sugar.
17:46Just because I play football doesn't mean I'm dumb.
17:49Low blood sugar doesn't cause nose bleeds.
17:53Be honest, Penelope.
17:55Are you sick?
17:56You're sick yourself.
18:03You're sick.
18:03What have you been to a scientist?
