00:00Everyone calls me Penny for short. Everyone except for Mason Brown. Star-crossed lovers since the third grade.
00:09Your cancer is spreading. You have a couple of months.
00:13If I need to push you away to protect you, I will. And I do not want you. I never will.
00:18I'm so sorry, Mason.
00:20What are you hiding from me?
00:21Mason, I'm doing this to protect you. We're just friends. That's all we ever will be.
00:26All you ever do is hurt me.
00:27You don't deserve to play Juliet. I'm gone.
00:31Do you really want to drag him down to your level? I'm going to get you even before the cancer does.
00:36Don't fucking touch her.
00:38Mason, you can't keep making this harder for me. Please let me go.
00:42I'm not going anywhere, Penelope. I will take on the entire world and think that I got to be with you.
00:47How did I ever push you away?
00:49Why, Romeo? Mason, I have something I have to tell you.
00:57My name is Penelope Jones.
01:04But everyone calls me Penny for short.
01:10Well, everyone except for him.
01:15Mason Brown, star quarterback of Maple High.
01:18My neighbor, my best friend, and the boy I've had a crush on since the third grade.
01:24Penelope, calm down.
01:27I'm here to rescue you.
01:32Mason, where the heck are we going?
01:34Shh. I don't want to wake you up.
01:41It was the kind of summer you'd never forget.
01:44Every moment with Mason made my heart race.
01:47And he had no idea.
01:49Look at the surprise. Let's go.
01:59Mason, the pool's closed. How did you get the keys?
02:02Curse you a lifeguard, Brad.
02:04Can you do me a favor?
02:06Oh, Penelope, my sweet, sweet Penelope.
02:09Cass, I'm not worrying about everything.
02:11Live low.
02:22What are you waiting for? Come on.
02:23We're not supposed to be in here.
02:32Rise up here, Romeo.
02:50Why are you looking at me like that?
02:52Oh, okay.
02:54Been there for me.
02:55Do everything.
02:56We failed driver's tests.
02:59Had haircuts.
02:59When I lost my mom to cancer.
03:05You were the most important person in my life.
03:08How much you went in forever?
03:11All summer I've wanted to do this.
03:13Mason Brown, do you have any idea what you're doing?
03:30Mason Brown, do you have any idea what you're doing?
03:43How do I thought they made girls' clothes look so complicated?
03:45Hey, signing again, thanks.
03:47My first time with my best friend, Mason Brown, the boy I love.
04:11It was everything I ever wanted.
04:22Never been to the community so that night.
04:24Not a first night, I guess.
04:27Are you sure you're okay?
04:28Stop worrying, Mason.
04:30Just don't be weird when it's all starts, okay?
04:33All right.
04:34Come on.
04:34Hey, wait.
04:36What?
04:36What?
04:37What?
04:37What?
04:37What?
04:37What?
04:37What?
04:37What?
04:39What?
04:41Mom, I just went for...
04:56Honey, take a seat.
04:58Something we need to talk about.
05:08Hey, Gnathy.
05:11So, uh, homecoming's coming up.
05:15Uh, do you want to be my girlfriend and come with me?
05:30No, Mason.
05:32I don't want to go to homecoming with you, and I definitely don't want to be your girlfriend.
05:36Oh, my gosh.
05:38What's her problem?
05:39What?
05:39What?
05:40What is she up?
05:41What?
05:41Oh, my gosh.
05:43You're not serious, right?
05:44I thought...
05:44You thought wrong.
05:45Look, let's not confuse sex with love.
05:47It was fun for the summer, but I don't want anything serious with you.
05:52Sorry.
05:53Did that dumb bitch seriously just turn down Mason Brown?
05:56Who does she even think she is?
05:58She's, like, bottom of the food chain.
06:00Mason's the quarterback.
06:01Everyone knows he should be with you, Valerie.
06:03I gotta get to class.
06:11I'll see you around, okay?
06:13Wait, is something wrong?
06:14Look, Penelope, I've been here for 12 years.
06:16This isn't you.
06:16Can we please just talk later?
06:17Can you feel something wrong?
06:18Let's talk about it now.
06:19Please, just stop.
06:20Bad night in Sri Lanka.
06:21Okay, I didn't imagine.
06:22Quiet.
06:23You're just bad at sex, okay?
06:27Oh, my God.
06:29Yeah, I mean, you were terrible in bed.
06:33You tried it.
06:34You didn't like it.
06:35Let's not make it a big deal.
06:37We're just friends.
06:39Okay?
06:39Okay?
06:53And, Albie, what are you hiding from me?
06:59Just go away!
07:03I'm so sorry, Mason.
07:05You don't deserve this.
07:08But I'm dying from cancer.
07:11And I can't be another person you lose.
07:13If I need to push you away to protect you, I will.
07:17Whatever it takes to keep you from any pain, just like I promised.
07:20My mommy said your mom's in a better place now.
07:26One more, she won't have to hurt anyone.
07:28I didn't leave anymore.
07:30I'm all alone.
07:31I'm so scared.
07:33And it just hurts so bad.
07:35Why did you leave me?
07:36Why?
07:37I can't leave it.
07:38She's up there now, in the clouds, watching over you and keeping you safe.
07:42And here on earth, I will keep you safe so your mommy doesn't have to worry.
07:47I will protect you, Mason.
07:49So you never, ever, have to hurt again.
07:53Don't worry, Mrs. Brown.
07:55I will protect Mason.
07:56Always.
07:57I promise.
08:01Oh, honey, you look exhausted.
08:03I really just wish you'd reconsider dropping out just until your cancer treatments are finished.
08:09Focus on getting better.
08:11We already talked about this, Mom.
08:12There's no guarantee the treatment will work.
08:15Besides, if I drop out now, that means giving up Romeo and Juliet.
08:20And I can't do that.
08:21Penny, it's just a play.
08:24It's not.
08:25Mom, this is everything I've ever dreamed of since I was a little kid.
08:29I just, I want to be on stage with Mason, like when we were kids, and forget that I have cancer.
08:36Forget that I'm dying.
08:37Anyway, if he gets the part of Romeo and I get Juliet, I'll be able to hold on to one perfect moment before I'm gone.
08:48Okay.
08:48All right, you can just play.
08:51All right, but you have to take care of your health.
08:53Yeah.
08:54Yeah.
08:54The minute you get into any kind of trouble, I am pulling you out.
09:01That's no more school, no Romeo and Juliet.
09:05Okay.
09:06Have you told Mason about the cancer?
09:11Delby, you home?
09:13Oh, my God.
09:15It's Mason.
09:15Mom, please tell him I'm not here.
09:18And whatever you do, do not tell him about the cancer.
09:21Please.
09:22I think you should tell him the truth.
09:24He'll understand.
09:25Mom, just do this for me.
09:26His mom died of cancer, remember?
09:29If he finds out, it'll only break him even more.
09:31I put him through that.
09:38Oh, hey, Miss J.
09:40Is Penelope you home?
09:42Um, she's...
09:45She's not home right now.
09:47She's out with some friends.
09:49You want to come back later?
09:51Yeah.
09:52Okay.
09:53Thanks, Miss J.
09:54Oh, Mason.
10:03I may not know how much time I have left, but I do know this.
10:07I want my last words for you to be honest.
10:10Real.
10:11I want my last words for you to be honest.
10:12I want my last words.
10:17I want my last words.
10:20I don't know.
10:21I want my last words for you to be honest with you.
10:25Mason, did you just climb my balcony?
10:45Are you insane?
10:46What if you slept and fell and broke your neck or something?
10:50I'll be right beside your hand.
10:53What are you hiding?
10:55Um, hiding something.
11:01Please, Mason, I was just rehearsing for the play.
11:04Um, so, what are you doing here?
11:08I wanted to talk.
11:10I know you got your mom the cover for you, who, by the way, has always sucked at lying.
11:14But now you're avoiding me?
11:15I wasn't home.
11:16Since when did best friends lie to each other?
11:18First, you embarrassed me in front of the whole school, and now you can't even be honest with me.
11:22Please.
11:27Mason, I already told you, I just don't like you like that.
11:31We're just friends, that's all we'll ever be.
11:33That night was just for fun.
11:35I want the truth, Penelope.
11:41Fine.
11:42You want the truth?
11:44It's because I've been in love with Dean.
11:48He's the one I want.
11:49Bullshit.
11:50You don't love Dean.
11:51You barely even talk to him.
11:52I didn't say it earlier because I didn't think I had to spell it out.
11:54He's hot, and he's smart, and he understands me in a way you could never.
12:00Oh, give me a break, Penelope.
12:02Look, I know you're the best.
12:03Dean's the biggest dick in school.
12:04He's just going to find a way to fuck you, and then drop you like he does with every girl.
12:07You're one to talk.
12:09At least he's not someone who can't take no for an answer.
12:11Hey, it's not romantic, Mason.
12:13It's desperate.
12:14Why can't you just accept the fact that I will never love you?
12:17It's pathetic.
12:18You're being...
12:20Pathetic.
12:21You're right.
12:26I am being pathetic.
12:30You know what, Penelope?
12:32I'm tired.
12:34I'm tired of your games, your lies, and you.
12:38From now on, you're dead to me.
12:41Maybe it's better if Mason hates me.
12:59It won't hurt him so much when this cancer wins and I die.
13:03Oh my God, the cast list for Romeo and Juliet is up.
13:19So what if it's pretend?
13:21At least I'll get to be with Mason, even if it's just for a little while.
13:25Star-crossed lovers, just like when we were kids.
13:27Romeo, wait for us now, Romeo.
13:31Oh, hello.
13:43I'm not playing Romeo.
13:45Not if you're truly it.
13:47Telling Mr. Felix I quit.
13:52Mason, please.
13:54Romeo's important to you, too.
13:56Remember?
13:57Can't we just be civil?
13:58No, Penelope.
13:59We can't.
14:00We used to go on and on about how Juliet was someone who was kind and who was sweet.
14:03And we risk it all for love.
14:05You're none of that.
14:07You don't deserve to play Juliet.
14:08Mason, please.
14:10Like I said, you're dead to me.
14:20Don't be delusional, Penny.
14:22You did this to yourself.
14:23But if Mason won't play Romeo, what's the point of me staying here any longer?
14:27Mason, being in this play with you, it's my last wish.
14:36Come on, Mason.
14:37She said it herself.
14:38She doesn't want you.
14:40Forget her.
14:40The pathetic petty is Juliet.
14:51You've got to be kidding me.
14:53Talk about a pity casting.
14:56Everyone knows that I'm the best actress.
14:59And I'm a chair captain, so I'm the one who belongs up there with Mason Brown, while you belong in the back with the furniture.
15:05Leave me alone, Valerie.
15:07I don't have time for your pettiness.
15:09Me?
15:09Petty?
15:10I'll show you petty.
15:25Enjoy your 15 minutes of fame, freak.
15:27Freak.
15:30Freak.
15:35Um, Val.
15:37She looks upset.
15:38Maybe we should fix her up.
15:40Great idea.
15:42You 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.
15:48I might be dying of cancer, but I'm done letting Valerie walk all over me.
15:52No matter what you do, I earned the lead role in the play.
15:57Well, on the other hand, Val, you're just a pick-me who, in the end, will never get picked.
16:02What the fuck did you just say to me?
16:06My hair.
16:08I'm in the chemo.
16:08Oh, and she grows.
16:11Oh, is she shedding?
16:12As if you weren't disgusting enough, you freak, and you have the audacity to even look at me?
16:16Let's see what dirty secrets you're hiding.
16:24No, my medical report is in there.
16:35No, no, no.
16:36My hair.
16:38Mason can't see this.
16:44Get your fucking hands off.
16:46What the fuck is your problem?
17:00Relax, Mason.
17:01I was just trying to sweetly explain to Penny here that you and I belong together.
17:07Isn't that right, girls?
17:08Mm-hmm.
17:08Nice try, Val.
17:12I almost forgot you're a complete bitch.
17:14You think tormenting Penelope is going to make me like you?
17:16You're wrong.
17:18Grow up.
17:19But, Mason...
17:19Thank you for saving me back there.
17:34I didn't save you because I still like you or care or whatever.
17:37I just did what anyone would have done, so don't read into it or anything.
17:41The truth is, I don't even know why I bothered saving you.
17:43Perhaps the way you gutted me yesterday.
17:44Mason, stop.
17:50Please.
17:53I'm just trying to stay friends.
17:55Well, don't do that.
17:56Don't throw friends at me like that fixes anything.
17:58I'm not some backup toy you can pull off the shelf whenever you're bored, all right?
18:01You heard me, Penelope.
18:02I poured out my heart to you, and you broke it.
18:05You stopped on it in front of the entire school.
18:06And you think we can stay friends after that?
18:08No, I don't want to be friends with somebody.
18:10Hey, Penelope.
18:14Penelope.
18:22Where am I?
18:25Where's Mason?
18:26I sent him back to class.
18:28Ben, I just got off the phone with your mom.
18:30I gotta say, I'm really surprised you're still in school.
18:33You know?
18:37Oh my God, did you tell Mason?
18:38No, of course not.
18:39I'm not going to tell another student your medical history.
18:43But that boy was worried sick.
18:46He was crying.
18:48He wouldn't leave your side.
18:50Class is out.
18:52I'm sure he'll be back any moment.
18:54Okay.
18:56Melody.
18:57No, Penny.
18:58You already lost it.
19:00Act like it.
19:01Are you okay?
19:02That's so scary.
19:03I've never seen that sound before.
19:04What happened?
19:05It's a recent thing.
19:07It's just low blood sugar.
19:10Just because I play football doesn't mean I'm dumb.
19:13Low blood sugar doesn't cause nosebleeds.
19:15Be honest, man.
19:17I'll be here.
19:19Are you sick?
19:23My God, Mason.
19:25No.
19:26I just got stressed about the situation.
19:30Can we just let it go?
19:31Just I was worried.
19:33You know, when my mom was sick, she had nosebleeds and was fainting.
19:39I just can't imagine if I'd lost you, too.
19:43I need to make sure you're okay.
19:45But anyway, I came here for a truce.
19:49A truce?
19:49Does this mean you'll still play Romeo?
19:54Then I'll be my best friend.
19:57It may be kind of a shitty one the past couple days, but I'm willing to get past that.
20:01Okay.
20:02So, yeah.
20:03I'll play Romeo.
20:04Oh, yes.
20:06Amazing.
20:09Whatever you're not telling me, whatever you're going through, it's whatever.
20:14I just want to go back to being best friends again.
20:20Okay.
20:22Truth.
20:30Um, a few ground rules, though.
20:33Okay?
20:34One, no flirting.
20:36Even if it's a joke.
20:39Two, if it ever does get too hard for us to just be friends, please let me know.
20:45And three.
20:47Mason, don't fall in love with me.
20:54Because I'm going to die.
20:59Alright, alright.
21:00Then that's what it takes for us to go back to being best friends.
21:03Consider it done.
21:09You win, Penelope.
21:11Always will.
21:13I may not know what's wrong.
21:14But I can't let you go through it alone.
21:17I'm going to find out what you're hiding.
21:21Ah, attention, class!
21:23Please, partner up.
21:25Mr. Felix?
21:36Uh, it looks like the mutt of the class got left behind again.
21:43Well, does no one wish to partner with Ms. Jones?
21:45I suppose I will step in.
21:53Mr. Felix as my partner?
21:55I'd rather choke on my own spit.
21:57Look at you, Penny.
21:57Look at you, Penny.
22:02You've got the teacher as a partner now?
22:03What's next?
22:05Lunch duty with the janitor?
22:08I'm busy, Val.
22:09Can I ignore you some other time?
22:11Oh, Penny, you're so touchy.
22:14I suppose not everyone can be like me.
22:16I'm just so lucky that Mason's my partner.
22:19Someone has to save him from being stuck with losers like you.
22:23Really, Val?
22:24Because I know Mason.
22:27And I know that he'd rather eat glass than be with you.
22:32Please.
22:33Do you really expect me to believe that?
22:35Who would he pick over me?
22:37You.
22:38Mason doesn't want to be your partner you reject.
22:41Do you really think that you want to drag him down to your level?
22:45I'm seriously asking.
22:47Deep down, do you think that being with Mason is good for him?
22:50She's right.
22:51No matter what, being close to me isn't good for Mason.
22:56I want to be with Penelope.
23:04I want to be with her.
23:06As her best friend.
23:07As her partner.
23:09As her everything.
23:12And she'll have me.
23:14I need some work.
23:17Mason!
23:18You're supposed to be my partner!
23:20Oh, Valerie.
23:21No need for tears.
23:23I'll be your partner then.
23:26Now, class.
23:28We all know how important chemistry is in Romeo and Juliet.
23:33Which is why today's exercise is...
23:38The waltz!
23:40Yes.
23:40Now, everyone.
23:42Face your partner.
23:43Yep.
23:44There we go.
23:44Let go of control.
23:47Surrender to the moment.
23:49And yourselves.
23:58Oh, I'm sorry.
24:01I was near you on two left feet.
24:02Hey.
24:03If I'm remembering correctly, it was you that broke your leg in Mrs. Hoffman's dance class last year.
24:08Okay, but who was carrying my books to class every day when I was on crutches?
24:12That's what I thought.
24:14Hey, next year at State, you think we'll be able to be in the same dorms?
24:17Can't wait to bug you all the time.
24:19Mason, I don't even know if I'm going to live long enough to make it to summer.
24:23Oh, look at that!
24:25Everyone, have a great rest of your day, and don't forget your homework.
24:29Oh, look at that.
24:34Oh.
24:35Oh.
24:36Actually, wait.
24:38Oh.
24:43Maybe we should practice.
24:45Try to perfect our performance for the play.
24:48At least this way, I get to spend time with you.
24:50Okay, Romeo.
24:53I'll get my scripts.
24:59Oh.
25:00I, pilgrim, let the thing must use in prayer.
25:09Hey.
25:10Okay.
25:11Sorry.
25:12This is serious.
25:14Okay.
25:15I need you to lock in.
25:20Oh, then, dear saints.
25:27My lips do as hands do.
25:33So move not.
25:36All my prayers and back I take.
25:39Just move that.
25:41Rough touch.
25:46I guess.
25:47Mason, you're everything I've ever wanted.
25:59Sorry.
25:59I got up in the scene.
26:02It's okay.
26:03It's nothing.
26:04It's just, this is just rehearsal.
26:07If that's all you want it to be.
26:11Is that all you want it to be?
26:13Mason, we already talked about this.
26:15Please don't make it harder than it has to be.
26:17I'm going to die, Mason.
26:19My cancer.
26:21I just don't want to hurt you even more.
26:23I can't.
26:24Please.
26:26Let me just...
26:30Dean, what are you doing here?
26:34Hi, man.
26:35I just came and asked to add a penny, all right?
26:37I need to get your panties in that space.
26:39Hi, Penny.
26:40Hi, Dean.
26:41Well, you've seen her, so you can leave now.
26:44You know, you're acting awful hard for someone who just got curbed.
26:47Penny couldn't be more obvious, man.
26:49She doesn't want to kiss you.
26:50She doesn't want you.
26:51I think I know Penelope a hell of a lot better than you do.
26:54Why don't you tell him?
26:56I want to tell Mason the truth, but I can't.
26:59If Mason knows how I feel and he finds out that I'm sick, it'll only hurt him more.
27:05Dean's right.
27:06I don't want to kiss you.
27:08And I do not want you.
27:10I never will.
27:11We're just friends, Mason.
27:13Please respect that.
27:16Are you serious?
27:18Bro, she doesn't want you.
27:19Why don't you understand?
27:21Penny, um...
27:22If you ever do need a shoulder to cram, my room's always open.
27:34No, Mason.
27:34I can't come.
27:45Mason.
27:47I told you not to follow me.
27:49I told you not to follow me.
27:49I told you not to follow me.
27:52Hey, get the fuck off of me, man.
27:53You have to just put your ego aside for a second.
27:55You've hurt her enough, man.
28:02I'm so sorry, Mason.
28:08So, I just got this new red bikini, and it looks...
28:12There she goes, laughing again.
28:16You're looking so beautiful.
28:17Look at that prick of his head.
28:19It's so funny.
28:20My parents are going to be out of town.
28:21We're having a party.
28:22Of course, Valerie's all over him.
28:24He's actually listening?
28:28I was saying, my parents are going to be out of town.
28:31We're having a party.
28:32You should come.
28:34Oh.
28:35A party.
28:38Yeah, it's not really going to help you see it.
28:40Um, he doesn't speak for me.
28:44It sounds fun.
28:46I'll be there.
28:47See, man?
28:49She says she'll be there.
28:53Hey.
28:55I told you to answer the asphalt.
28:57Why are you still hanging out?
28:58Oh, so you can get all cozied up to Valerie, but I can't even talk to the guy that I like?
29:03You like him?
29:04It doesn't matter, Mason.
29:07This is too much.
29:08We're just friends.
29:10That's all we ever will be.
29:11You can shut me out all you want, Penelty, but I'm not giving up on you.
29:20Hmm?
29:21Everything's changing.
29:32I wonder if I'll ever feel beautiful again.
29:35If I'll even live long enough to find out.
29:41Mason would know exactly what to say.
29:43He'd look at me like nothing's changed.
29:48Should I just tell him the truth?
29:51How does she manage to get more beautiful every time I see her?
30:15You look...
30:16Wow.
30:17Wow.
30:21Thanks.
30:23Pathetic Penny just won't stay in her lane.
30:26I need to make sure she stays away from Mason.
30:29Listen.
30:30Can we talk about earlier?
30:33Let's go get another drink, Mason.
30:35I'm getting thirsty.
30:37I was starting to think you weren't going to show him.
30:39Oh.
30:39It was definitely worth the wait.
30:46Wow.
30:51Well, thanks for inviting me.
30:53It's a really cool party.
30:56The party's just getting started.
30:58Would you like a tour?
31:00No, man.
31:00She's good.
31:01I thought Penny speaks for herself.
31:03Isn't that right, Penny?
31:07She deserves better than on the side of me.
31:10Just because we're about to place from the bottle, man.
31:14Have tea.
31:14Oh, yeah.
31:19Oh, yeah.
31:24Oh, yeah.
31:25Oh, yeah.
31:28Come on, everybody. Can't you see that she's shy?
31:47If you want some privacy, there's a room up there.
31:49Um, what if we played a different game, guys? Truth or Dare or something?
31:56Okay. Then I dare you to kiss Dean.
32:00Back off, Valerie, okay?
32:02No. Rules are rules. She doesn't get a free pass just because she's a chicken.
32:07Well, Penny, it's just a kiss. I want to see one more.
32:10Come on, just do it!
32:12Come on, just do it!
32:14Come on, just do it!
32:16Come on, just do it!
32:17Come on, just do it!
32:24Don't be such a cough bark, Mason.
32:26They clearly are just trying to have fun. This is what she wants.
32:36This is for your own good, Mason.
32:46Oh, uh, we don't have to close the door.
32:49Don't you want to be alone with me?
32:50Wait.
33:01Hey, relax. Let me help you.
33:10Wait!
33:11I don't know if it's a little mess.
33:15Dean!
33:15Just relax.
33:16It won't make you feel better.
33:20Come down.
33:22Hey!
33:26You know what that slide?
33:27Because I'm a nice guy.
33:29Hey, where are you going?
33:30You're the one that wanted this.
33:32You can't just get up and leave.
33:33Someone, anyone, help me!
33:35Something's not right.
33:36Stop, Dean.
33:40Please, stop.
33:41I don't feel good.
33:43You're gonna fix that.
33:44I'm just trying to be a nice guy.
33:49I knew it.
33:55I'm coming, Penalty.
33:56Just hold on.
34:00Mason!
34:00Hey, what the fuck?
34:06You'll get your turn.
34:07Don't fucking touch her.
34:09Hey, she hit me first.
34:11I always knew you were a piece of shit.
34:15Hey, what the fuck?
34:16She was running with me, I swear.
34:18You're doing this all over some slut.
34:20Say that again.
34:21I dare you.
34:25Under-age drinking.
34:27Attempted rape.
34:27Go look at Eddie in the college now, you sick fuck.
34:30No, please.
34:31You'll ruin my life.
34:31You didn't care when she was screaming for you to stop.
34:33So why should I care what happens to you?
34:36You so much as look at Penalty again,
34:38then you really get to see how far I can go.
34:46I got you.
34:47You're still bleeding.
35:00Does it hurt?
35:05It's fine.
35:07I'm fine.
35:08These stupid nosebleeds from the chemo.
35:11Here, let me see.
35:12Okay.
35:12Okay.
35:17You always had the prettiest eyes.
35:24Please.
35:25In sixth grade, you told everyone I had poop-colored eyes
35:28because you couldn't stop staring at me.
35:31I lied.
35:37You've always been beautiful, Penalty.
35:40Always.
35:40Always.
35:40Ever since I can remember, Mason has been there for me.
35:45How can I keep lying to him?
35:49Um.
35:51Mason, I have something I have to tell you.
35:55What is it?
35:58Oh, shit.
35:59The cops.
36:00What do we do?
36:02I think I have to do it.
36:03Follow me.
36:03Okay.
36:06Kids, let's get a move on.
36:07Okay.
36:10Can't believe I almost told Mason about my cancer.
36:26God, Penny.
36:27Don't be so weak.
36:29You can't tell him.
36:31You know this.
36:33You are so lucky that your dad should be a police, Mason.
36:36But you are seriously in deep trouble.
36:39Dad, it wasn't our fault.
36:41I don't want to bail you guys out anymore.
36:43Okay?
36:44Good behavior for the rest of the semester.
36:47Okay?
36:49It won't happen again, Mr. Brown.
36:51Okay.
36:55Shh.
36:56So, what's the arrangement looking like tonight?
37:07I sleep on the sofa, floor, bathtub.
37:11You can sleep here, if you will.
37:14Do you want me to?
37:19It's better than the couch.
37:20Oh, shit.
37:32Thanks for staying over tonight.
37:34I really appreciate it.
37:37Of course.
37:39Just wanted to make sure you're safe.
37:42And I'll be the most important person in my life.
37:45I just want you to know, I'll always be there for you.
37:53Good night, Mason.
37:56Good night, Pelvi.
37:57Okay.
37:57I'm sorry I couldn't tell you the truth tonight, Mason.
38:14I have cancer.
38:17It's everywhere, and it's not going away.
38:19I guess I just wanted to say it out loud, even if you're not listening.
38:27I love you, Mason.
38:30It's always been you.
38:46God.
38:47How many more chemo sessions am I going to have to go through?
38:55I've always loved my hair.
39:01Mason always loved my hair.
39:13Who am I kidding?
39:14It's just one more thing I have to let go of.
39:34I love you.
39:36I love you.
39:40I love you.
39:40I love you.
40:42You're stronger than you know, Penny. No more fear. You got this.
40:47I can't keep overexerting myself before the Autumn Showcase, or else I might not.
41:00Absolutely not obvious.
41:01Is it just me, or is she being freakier than usual?
41:06She's like totally tweaking.
41:08You know, Val, if something happened to her, they'd need a new Juliet.
41:14What a great idea.
41:17Gather around, everyone.
41:19Listen, you didn't hear it from me, but pathetic Penny has been talking shit behind all of your
41:23backs.
41:24She's saying that the whole team is a bunch of dumbfors.
41:26Really, Val?
41:27Penny's always been nice to us.
41:29Excuse me?
41:30Are you calling me a liar?
41:32Without me, do you think that you would be valuable?
41:34Anyways, I am the only one who sees yourself worse, all right, ladies?
41:42So I think it's time for a little revenge.
41:45Hey, Reject, are you going to spend the entire class being a creepy loner, or are you going
41:54to pull your weight?
41:58We don't tolerate slacking in this class, Penny.
42:01You're going to have to face a penalty.
42:03What are you?
42:04Oh, no!
42:15I'm too weak from my chemo session.
42:25Cancer or not, I'm done letting Valerie push me around.
42:30This ends now.
42:34This bottom feeder just won't give up.
42:38Someone's bold.
42:39You know, ever since you got the role of Juliet, you've been an absolute parasite to me and
42:44to Mason, so I think it is my civil duty to bring you down.
42:48Isn't that right, girls?
42:50It's funny how loud you are for a girl who's so wrong.
42:55Excuse me?
42:56I run this school, loser.
42:58That's what happens when you're at the top of the food chain.
43:00You know everything that's going on around here.
43:03Really?
43:04Because from where I'm standing, you just look like a little girl who's begging for attention
43:08and throwing a tantrum when she doesn't get the toy she wants.
43:14Tell me, girls, is it possible to leave the Autumn Showcase with a broken leg?
43:27Don't be a psycho, Valerie.
43:29Are you going to stop me?
43:34You should have backed out when I asked you nicely, Penny.
43:37What are you doing?
43:44Reminding you of your place.
43:49Oh, my God.
43:50I should have known that the fake girl would have fake hair.
43:55Oh, Penny, you continue to impress me.
43:58Look, girls, the star of the Autumn Showcase is wearing the fakest wig I have ever seen in
44:03my entire life.
44:05Is that the one that you use for your night job?
44:08Stop.
44:10It's not what you think.
44:12Let's get a closer look, shall we?
44:15What in the hell is going on over here?
44:22Coach!
44:24I was just telling Penny that she needs to take her hood down.
44:26It's against the dress code, as you know, of course.
44:31She's right.
44:32Take it off.
44:44All right, ladies.
44:45Back to practice.
44:48Now, where were we?
44:50Oh, right.
44:51The hooker wig.
44:54Don't touch her.
44:54Mason!
45:07Mason!
45:09What are you doing here?
45:10You have got to be kidding me.
45:18Hurt?
45:19Keep pushing, Val.
45:21You're seriously going to choose this freaky hair from this freak over me?
45:24You try so hard on that, Valerie.
45:26Canopy does it without even trying.
45:28You all bully her because she makes you feel small?
45:30That's your fault.
45:31It's not hers.
45:32You're really that pathetic to make fun of someone who's only ever been nice to you?
45:35We never wanted to bully Penny.
45:36Yeah.
45:37Valerie lied to us.
45:38She forced us.
45:39Shut up!
45:42Mason, baby.
45:43Without me, you're nothing.
45:45I make you valuable, okay?
45:47Not her.
45:48Me.
45:48Sound familiar?
45:50Is that what she says to you guys that you'd be nothing without her?
45:53That's how she gets you to do her dirty work, huh?
45:57Hired of being used?
46:01Guys?
46:02No.
46:04Get her.
46:05No, no, no, no!
46:06Let's get the fuck out of here.
46:08Enjoy it while it lasts, Penny.
46:10But Mason's always been mine.
46:11And I will remind you both why.
46:13In the end, he will always pick me.
46:22Why didn't you call me?
46:24I could have protected you.
46:27I don't want you to keep protecting me because I'm weak.
46:30I just...
46:32I need to be stronger.
46:36You are not weak.
46:38You're the opposite.
46:39When we were just kids, you were the one that got me through the worst parts of my life.
46:45My mom's hospital visits.
46:47Her funeral.
46:49The nights I couldn't breathe crying because I missed her so much.
46:53You've always been my rock.
46:55You're the strongest person I know.
46:59I wish you could see yourself the way I see you.
47:02How did I ever push you away?
47:04I can't keep hurting you like this.
47:06I can't keep denying my feelings for you.
47:08I'll let you have some space.
47:10It can be a lot sometimes.
47:12But come find me later.
47:13I've got to tell you something.
47:15Wait.
47:15Wait.
47:33I'm sorry.
47:33I shouldn't have...
47:35Come back.
47:35Come back.
47:38This is okay.
48:04Are you okay?
48:06I'll give you something a thought.
48:14Um...
48:14Rule number three, Mason.
48:17Yeah.
48:18No falling in love.
48:21Screw the rules, right?
48:24And I'll be lucky.
48:28Wait.
48:29I told you.
48:32I think we should just be friends.
48:36I'm sorry that I did that.
48:38Let's just stop.
48:39This is real, Penelope.
48:42I want you to acknowledge that.
48:44Okay.
48:45I don't want to make you uncomfortable.
48:48Um...
48:49What was that thing you wanted to tell me?
48:51Oh, yeah.
48:53Um...
48:54I'm moving in.
48:56Just temporarily.
48:57It'll...
48:58Where'd you get that scar?
49:05Mom, I'm on it in the same spot.
49:09God's sake, right?
49:10Mason, I can't be in the boys' locker room.
49:21My mom will kill me.
49:23The minute you get into any kind of trouble,
49:26I am pulling you out.
49:27That's no more school.
49:29No more Romeo and Juliet.
49:32Mason, don't pull me out of the play.
49:34I know you're in there, Maze.
49:36I just want to talk.
