00:00Yo, Bren, isn't that your mom?
00:03Wow, it's been such a long time.
00:05Hey, and maybe your future dad.
00:11Your mom totally has the hots for Mr. Thomas.
00:14No, she doesn't, man.
00:16She's just here for a teacher-parent conference.
00:18Sure.
00:19Mom! What are you doing? The meeting isn't for another half hour.
00:30I'm catching up with Abe.
00:32I can't believe he's your teacher.
00:34Wow.
00:35What a small world.
00:37What serendipity, really?
00:39What serendipity?
00:41Will you marry me?
00:49Hey, hey.
00:52Hey, come on, bro.
00:54This is so dumb.
00:55I didn't even do anything.
00:57Would you like for me to provide a recap?
00:59Second slide, we have Hamlet with its infamous to be or not to be.
01:04Third slide, we...
01:16Pop.
01:18Quits today.
01:26Okay.
01:27One...
01:28Who...
01:38Is what...
01:39We call...
01:40An illusion.
01:45Oh!
01:48I do not want to have to call a parent-teacher meeting.
01:52I'm very disappointed.
01:54Really?
01:55Well, I thought running into me wouldn't be such a downer.
01:58Downer?
01:59No.
02:00Highlight?
02:01Absolutely.
02:05No, no, the other way, the other way.
02:06No, no, no, bro.
02:07Do you not go left and right?
02:08What you're doing, bro?
02:09Man, you're so bad.
02:10Bro.
02:11My bad, man.
02:12What's going on?
02:13I still can't get over how my mom grounded me.
02:15Last week, my mom over Mr. Stickers.
02:18I told you.
02:19Didn't I tell him?
02:20I did tell him.
02:21Your mom's so into Mr. Thomas.
02:22You should have seen him during the meeting.
02:24Oh.
02:25So, uh...
02:27When are you going to call him Dad?
02:30Shut up, man.
02:31Yeah.
02:32The idea of my mom dating is already weird enough.
02:35But dating my teacher?
02:37Especially Mr. Thomas.
02:49Help!
02:51Sweetie, you need to calm down.
02:54No.
02:55This is so weird and so unfair.
02:57You can't just decide to start dating my teacher.
02:59It's not like I purposely went after your teacher.
03:02I didn't even know he was your teacher when I first met him.
03:05Large vanilla chai with almond milk.
03:13We're working on another one right now.
03:15Oh.
03:16Sorry about that.
03:18This is a first.
03:19Likewise.
03:22This one's yours.
03:25You're welcome.
03:26You're welcome.
03:28Looks like we have the same taste in literature, too.
03:33Oh.
03:38You trying to make me sick?
03:39No.
03:40You can't be my mom and date my teacher, okay?
03:44Yeah.
03:45You're positive there's no rule against faculty dating parents.
03:50Not ever since the superintendent fell for some kid's mom.
03:55Now, all bets are off.
03:57Mm-hmm.
03:58But aren't you considering some offer from that fancy private school?
03:59Yeah.
04:00It's upstate, three hours away.
04:01Which means I'd have to move.
04:02And you don't want to?
04:03So what if your son throws a tantrum?
04:04I mean, he'll get over himself.
04:05I mean, he'll get over himself.
04:06I don't know.
04:07No.
04:08No.
04:09No.
04:10No.
04:11No.
04:12No.
04:13No.
04:14No.
04:15No.
04:16No.
04:17No.
04:18No.
04:19No.
04:20No.
04:21No.
04:22No.
04:23No.
04:24No.
04:25No.
04:26No.
04:27No.
04:28No.
04:29No.
04:30No.
04:31No.
04:32No.
04:33No.
04:34No.
04:35No.
04:36No.
04:37No.
04:38No.
04:39I mean, he'd get over himself.
04:40You deserve to be happy.
04:42Especially after everything.
04:43I know.
04:44But I can't hurt my son.
04:45What kind of mother would I be?
04:46Isn't there a way for you both to be happy?
04:52Oh look.
04:53Here comes your new dad.
04:58Hey, who would've thought, Nemesis one day, Step Dad the next?
05:00Ohhh.
05:01Ranton!
05:04So good to see you.
05:06I'm so excited for today.
05:08And I'm sure you're going to do great on the pop quiz.
05:12What?
05:14Yeah, not much of a pop quiz when your future pops just gave you a heads up.
05:19Tell us.
05:20How are you going to break them up?
05:23Actually, I have a better idea.
05:31Boys, I've been going about this all wrong.
05:36Step one, charm my mom.
05:39Mom, you deserve happiness.
05:42I just want what's best for you.
05:49Make sure she thinks this is all about family.
05:52Boom!
05:54Emotional groundwork.
05:55Blade.
05:56Step two, make Mr. Thomas feel the weight of his decisions.
06:01You know my mom's going to hate seeing me score anything less than an A.
06:05It will break her heart.
06:17You've earned this.
06:19Son.
06:21Step three, reap the rewards.
06:24My son.
06:28I knew you had it in you.
06:29You get a new video game!
06:31Yo!
06:38Jeez.
06:39Hey, what's going on, A?
06:46It's just that I haven't felt this way about anyone since.
06:53And I don't want to make Ren feel uncomfortable.
06:58You haven't had the best track record with the kid.
07:02Yeah, I know.
07:03Hey, hey, how was school?
07:18It was good.
07:20Can we talk?
07:22Sure.
07:23I just wanted to say that I'm sorry about how I reacted about Mr. Thomas.
07:31You know, I was just really surprised and low-key a bit selfish, but I'm happy for you.
07:40I think you guys should keep seeing each other.
07:42Are you sure?
07:43Yeah, 100%.
07:45Really?
07:46Yeah.
07:47Okay, if you're sure, I'm going to text her.
07:57Oh, um, do you mind if I borrow your iPad for school?
08:02I forgot mine's in the locker.
08:04Go right ahead.
08:13Oh, is that her?
08:17Yeah, it is.
08:18She says Renton's okay with us and that she wants to have dinner tonight.
08:23Man, that sounds like a plan.
08:25So you know what that means.
08:27Hey, it's time to celebrate.
08:28Time to celebrate.
08:29Yeah.
08:29Yeah.
08:29Yeah.
08:47Mom, do you think you can help me with my English project tomorrow night?
08:56Oh, tomorrow night?
08:59Yeah.
09:00Why?
09:01Uh, that's okay.
09:04It's fine.
09:04Yeah, you know, I just, I just really don't want to fail Mr. Thomas' class.
09:09How about tonight?
09:11Can we do it tonight?
09:11No, no, I'm still waiting on a library, but, uh, why?
09:16Abe and I, it's, it's okay.
09:19It's, we can reschedule it.
09:22But just let me text Abe, okay?
09:26Okay.
09:26See you guys tomorrow and make sure you have your projects ready for me for presentation.
09:32That includes you, Grayson.
09:34Yes.
09:35All right, mister.
09:36All right.
09:36Catch you later.
09:41Hey, Mr. Thomas.
09:42I just wanted to let you know that I'm working really hard to get the projects in.
09:47You know, my mom's going to help me tonight.
09:48Yeah, I know, uh, she texted me to reschedule.
09:54Oh, were you supposed to go out tonight?
09:57Yeah.
09:59I'm sorry.
10:00No, no, no, no.
10:01Your education is way more important.
10:08You know, I have study hall for eighth period.
10:11Uh, if you want to help me get it done, uh, maybe you could go on a date tonight.
10:19Hmm.
10:22That sounds like a good plan.
10:25But go ahead and write you up a pass for eighth period.
10:31Okay, fine.
10:33There you go.
10:35See you soon.
10:36See you soon.
10:40So, this is still about Shakespeare?
10:44Yeah, no.
10:46Remember?
10:47You don't remember what we talked about in class?
10:50Yeah, nah.
10:51I don't remember.
10:54Illusion.
10:55Oh.
10:55You talked about Ophelia as an illusion.
10:57Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:58You did say that.
10:59Yeah, I remember.
11:00I remember, yeah.
11:02Uh.
11:05O.
11:08F.
11:09Sure.
11:10E.
11:11E.
11:18L.
11:23Okay, you know what?
11:25I got it.
11:26I got it this time.
11:28Just, please don't hurt yourself.
11:29It's peaceful here.
11:37Is this where you usually do your walks?
11:39Sometimes.
11:40Nice.
11:42When I can't sleep.
11:43My wife, she used to love this neighborhood.
11:49You know, you've never really talked about her.
11:54She was light.
11:57You know, that kind of makes everything around you feel bearable.
12:02But, um, when she died, it was like someone turned the whole world into Grayscale.
12:11I didn't think I'd ever fall in love again.
12:19Until now.
12:22Dude, I cannot believe Mr. Donald's standing in seat, man.
12:26What a jerk.
12:27At least you gotta see.
12:28Look what he gave me.
12:30Oh, so funny.
12:32Hey.
12:34Read it and weep, boys.
12:37Mr. Thomas basically wrote it himself.
12:39He can't give himself a bad grade, right?
12:41Girl, that is insane, man.
12:43You know, why can't Mr. Thomas be into my grandma?
12:47Yo.
12:48How far you think you're gonna push this?
12:50Yes, this is Mr. Thomas speaking.
13:02Mr. Thomas, this is Headmaster Whitmore from Bishop Prep.
13:05I'm calling to touch base on whether you've given our offer any additional consideration.
13:09Yes, I have.
13:11And I would like to thank you so much for your generous offer.
13:15Um, but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to turn it down.
13:21I wasn't expecting that based on your prior enthusiasm.
13:24What changed?
13:25I guess you can say that I found my reason to stay.
13:33All right, literary terms with my guy, Hamlet.
13:37So, oxymoron.
13:39I must be cruel to be kind.
13:43Two different words on two different sides of the spectrum.
13:46To be or not to be.
13:49That is the question.
13:49Whether it's noble, that's a famous line from Hamlet.
13:52So, Renton.
14:00What's up?
14:01There's no eating in class, you know that.
14:05Come on, Mr. Thomas.
14:08Look, rules is rules.
14:11And don't make me have to send you to the principal's office.
14:18Hey.
14:19Looks like Mr. Thomas needs an incentive.
14:22Mm-hmm.
14:24I got an idea.
14:26Watch this.
14:28Oh.
14:29Mr. Thomas?
14:31Can I use the restroom?
14:33Yeah, sure.
14:33Go ahead.
14:45Oh.
14:49Brenton, why are you FaceTiming me?
14:59Sorry, Mom.
15:00Aren't you supposed to be in class?
15:02I just need to talk to you right now.
15:04What is wrong?
15:06Why are you crying?
15:08It's Mr. Thomas.
15:09He was fat shaming me because I was hungry and eating a snack in his class,
15:14and everybody started laughing at me.
15:15What?
15:16Can you please come get me?
15:20I need you.
15:22Al, I'm on my way right now.
15:32Now, in Hamlet, the soliloquy is probably perhaps the most famous literary device.
15:38So, to be or not to be, that is...
15:39Mr. Thomas, I have Denise Klein.
15:42She's here to pick up her son, um, rented.
15:45Okay.
15:54I'm, uh...
15:55I'm looking forward to our date tonight.
15:58What date?
15:58Did you think humiliating my son in front of his peers was going to make me want to see you?
16:05Um, I'm confused.
16:07What are you talking about?
16:09How could you do that?
16:11He called me.
16:13You think this is taking it a little too far?
16:16Like, check out the look on his face.
16:20I know, right?
16:21Priceless.
16:22Come on, sweetie.
16:38Okay.
16:39To be or not to be.
16:43Wow.
16:44These are from Mr. Thomas.
16:46He even got you something, too.
16:47Hmm.
16:52That's nice.
17:00Maybe I overreacted, too.
17:02No.
17:03Your feelings are always valid.
17:05Okay?
17:07Thanks, Mom.
17:09But, you know,
17:10if he's going to go through all of this trouble just to say sorry,
17:15maybe you should give him another chance.
17:19Maybe.
17:19Maybe.
17:22You know,
17:27I really admire you.
17:32Me?
17:33Yeah.
17:33A single mother with a rambunctious teen boy for a son?
17:39Yes.
17:41My mother, she raised me by herself.
17:44So, I know how hard it is.
17:48You know, she worked two jobs,
17:49but she was able to make every single game
17:52and every parent night.
17:54I bet she was really proud of you.
17:59Yeah.
18:03She would have liked you.
18:04All right, so, like,
18:07how many projects he's going to do for you?
18:08I don't know,
18:09but at this rate,
18:10I'm going to get an A.
18:12He's basically done my last four projects for me.
18:15Bro, are you serious?
18:16Yes, bro.
18:17I'm telling you,
18:17my mom hasn't wrapped around her finger.
18:21And so do I.
18:22You're going to get it.
18:27Oh, Christy.
18:30Oh, God.
19:00This is... Hey, Thomas, how are you doing?
19:04Yeah, I'm so sorry about the flip-flop, but I was wondering if that job was still available by any chance.
19:24I'm your new English teacher, Mrs. Kelly.
19:27Where's Mr. Thomas?
19:30Let me be clear.
19:37I don't give A's. I rarely give B's.
19:43And if you think you're going to skate by on a C, prepare to fail.
19:50I didn't hear you come in.
19:53I'm your new English teacher.
19:55I'm your new school.
19:56I love you.
19:59Mom?
20:18I didn't hear you come in.
20:22What's wrong?
20:23Oh, nothing.
20:25Come on, Mom.
20:26I'm not a kid anymore.
20:29Mr. Thomas and us broke it off.
20:35He said I was just using him.
20:40I didn't realize you liked him so much.
20:45I didn't expect to either.
20:48But he came along, and he made me feel like I was good enough.
20:53Mom, what are you talking about?
20:56You're the best mom in the world.
20:59You know, your dad, that was my high school sweetheart, right?
21:09We had a plan, a whole thing.
21:13The house, family, lived together forever.
21:19But, you know, sometimes people change.
21:22And he started to make me feel so small.
21:26Like I was just lucky, just to be tolerated.
21:29And then he just left.
21:31Yeah.
21:33I barely even remember him.
21:36That is for the best.
21:38When he left, I just, I didn't think I was going to love anybody anymore.
21:41But then, Mr. Thomas came along, and he made me feel seen.
21:49Like, really seen.
21:53But all men leave eventually.
21:55And I guess I'm just not worth it.
21:59No, no, Mom.
22:00You are worth it.
22:02You are.
22:03You're worth it.
22:04Thank you so much for that great presentation on how Hamlet's love of Ophelia doomed her.
22:18Um, so, who would like to present next?
22:30Brenton, what are you doing here?
22:32I'd like to present.
22:48Bookside's not the same without you.
22:51And I know there's some students, aka me, who can be a pain sometimes.
23:00But more importantly, my mom, she's amazing.
23:08She's kind.
23:09She's sweet.
23:10She's strong.
23:12And sometimes she doesn't see that about herself.
23:15Until you came along.
23:17Um, Brenton, look.
23:19Yeah, wait, wait, wait, wait.
23:20I know.
23:21I know you think she was just using you.
23:25She didn't.
23:27That whole scheme, it was me.
23:30I planned it all.
23:32And, you know, the truth is, for my whole life, my mom has only had me for as long as I can remember.
23:40And I wasn't going to let that change.
23:43And I also, I didn't know how much she loved you.
23:47Like, she really, really loves you, you know that?
23:50Until, until you left.
23:52And I came home to her crying.
23:55She doesn't deserve that.
24:01So, mom?
24:03For you, of course.
24:26What if you thought of in giving, you's back.
24:49Bye.
24:49Bye.
24:49Bye.
24:49Bye.
24:49Bye.
24:49Bye.
24:50Bye.
24:50Bye.
24:51Bye.
24:51Bye.
24:51Bye.
24:51Bye.
24:52Bye.
24:52Bye.
24:52Bye.
