00:00Why am I not surprised?
00:18I'm glad to see entitlement is alive and well.
00:20By all means, park where you like, your majesty.
00:22Sorry, I just thought you might need like a bigger spot.
00:26No, Tristan, that would be you and your massively oversized eco.
00:29Come on, baby. Leave Reject Riley alone.
00:32Everybody knows social leprosy is contagious.
00:46Aren't we supposed to be coasting as seniors?
00:49My financial aid app got rejected.
00:51So if I actually want to go to college, I've got to start saving.
00:54Okay, but we have more pressing issues.
00:57Like making sure you have a guy on your arm for prom.
01:00Or even better, a full-time boyfriend so you can finally cash in that V-card.
01:05Yeah, like any guy at the school would want to date an untouchable.
01:07It's fine. I have all the romance I need.
01:09Rochester, Heathcliff, Mr. Darcy.
01:13That was probably the most action she's gotten ever.
01:19So what, you're like a bookworm for hire now?
01:22Wow, I can read.
01:23Sarcasm and desperation, you know you really are like the whole package aren't you?
01:29Honestly, I don't know what I ever did to Golden Boy.
01:39He's been like this since the second grade.
01:41He tagged on my pigtails one day at recess and never looked back.
01:44Usually that means a guy likes you.
01:47Yeah, well I'm not exactly fond of dumb jocks with poor motor skills, so...
01:51So, I'm thinking, jewel tones for prom.
02:20Emerald green is like so our color.
02:23Yeah.
02:24Yeah, you know.
02:33So, next party, I'm thinking you definitely make sure you have something to drink other than beer.
02:37I'm thinking like a spiked kombucha might be nice.
02:39Okay, yeah, that sounds good.
02:40Also, I'm going shopping tonight, so I'm gonna need your car and also your credit card.
02:44If that works for you, it works for me.
02:46Yep.
02:47Yep?
02:48Mm-hmm.
02:49Adam, we need to talk.
02:59I, um...
03:01I, uh, I think I need you to tutor me.
03:04No, thank you.
03:07Look, I'm not exactly thrilled either, but if I don't get my English grade up, I get kicked off the football team, so...
03:15Aw, it's not my problem.
03:17Yeah, but you, like, need the money, don't you?
03:20Yeah, there's no way in hell I'm tutoring you.
03:22You hate me.
03:23You've been a massive asshole to me since we were seven, and you literally used to put kick me signs on my back.
03:28That was messing with you.
03:29That was a joke.
03:30Yeah, like I said, asshole.
03:32Wait.
03:36What if I paid you double your rate?
03:38Double?
03:39Come on, Adams, you walk around the school acting like you're smarter than everybody?
03:44This is your chance to prove it.
03:46Fine.
03:47But we play by my rules, understand?
03:51Yeah.
03:52Yeah.
03:53If we're actually gonna do this, I'm in charge.
03:57So rule number one, you do whatever I say.
03:59Mm-hmm.
04:00Rule number two, I want half the money up front in cash.
04:03And rule number three...
04:04Nobody finds out about it.
04:07Why not?
04:08Because hanging out with you is kinda like social suicide.
04:11Jesus.
04:12Who are you, Regina George?
04:14You're so concerned with your precious reputation.
04:16I'm serious, though.
04:18Our little secret, deal?
04:22Meet me in the library after practice and don't be late.
04:28Yes, ma'am.
04:33I told you Tristan likes you.
04:35First of all, shush.
04:36Second of all, it's just tutoring.
04:38First comes tutoring, then comes prom, then comes marriage.
04:42Right, yeah.
04:43He literally told me he wants to keep it a secret because he's embarrassed to be seen with me.
04:48And besides, he only goes for brainless and bitchy.
04:51Look, I don't blame you for liking him.
04:54He's gorgeous and...
04:56I do not like him.
04:59No.
05:03So, what's with the Google eyes, hm?
05:05Okay, fine.
05:06He's very conventionally attractive.
05:08But he's also dumb as rocks and a total dick.
05:11You know, Darcy started off as a dick, too.
05:15Just saying.
05:16Prom is in two weeks.
05:17It takes man tens of thousands of years to evolve.
05:20People can surprise you, Riley.
05:22If you give them a chance.
05:24I got a chance.
05:25I got a chance.
05:34Oh, my God.
06:04careful items you keep looking at me like that i might think you like what you see
06:12you mean a dumb jock who made me wait 20 minutes for them
06:15it's okay i'm sorry i'm sorry i practice ran late but i'm i'm here now and i promise to be good
06:24pretty pleased
06:34if you're late again this is over yes ma'am
06:41okay so if mr darcy was like into elizabeth the whole time why'd need to say something to her
06:49it's dramatic irony we know that darcy has feelings for her but he won't admit them to her or himself
06:55because they belong to different social classes
06:58okay so he thought like if he got into a relationship with her it would
07:03ruin his reputation ding ding ding gold star he's smarter than he looks folks
07:08never get tired of being such a know-it-all never
07:14invigorating but the third edition was better i'm excited for the fifth edition i'm surprised your
07:39girlfriend even knows her school has a library
07:41hello
07:49hello
07:55again with the stapler janet i already said i wasn't doing a blood pact with you let's go

10:27like did you know that bronte isn't fully co-signing on that all-consuming love she's actually just showing how destructive obsession can

14:20Let's have some fun.
14:21Okay?
14:28Hey, it's okay good, Riley.
14:30Hey, I feel like I've never seen you with these things.
14:33Well, I'm usually not invited.
14:34I mean, I've just been busy tutoring and trying to save up for college next year.
14:40Oh, that's right. I think I've seen some of your flyers.
14:43You know, I could actually use a little help in English.
14:47Really?
14:49But don't you get A's?
14:51Yeah, but if it meant seeing you outside of school a little bit more, I wouldn't be mad at you.
14:55Hey, Adams, can I talk to you for a second?
15:04What the fuck are you doing?
15:09That asshole was trying to get in your pants.
15:10I was doing you a favor.
15:11So? Maybe I want him to.
15:13Not him!
15:14Why not, Chris? He's nice to me, unlike you.
15:18Besides, what do you care anyway?
15:19I don't care.
15:20Oh, Tracy, baby, what are you...
15:34What are you doing with her?
15:43Nothing. We're, um, just...
15:45Nothing.
15:46Right. Nothing.
16:11Okay, so you're telling me after he dragged you into his bedroom,
16:15he didn't have his wicked way with you?
16:18Boring.
16:20Luckily, there are other cherry-popping fish in the sea.
16:22Rose, what did I tell you about mixing your metaphors?
16:2545, 46, 47.
16:29Come on, Purity Ring.
16:40You could use the exercise.
16:41Maybe a little warm-up.
16:53Oops, sorry.
16:56Are you okay?
16:57I mean, she's just such an easy...
16:59I mean, big target.
17:02Shut the fuck up, Amanda.
17:04What did you just say to me?
17:08Like, don't talk to her like that.
17:10It's okay.
17:11What's the big deal?
17:12Why are you defending her?
17:13The big deal is I'm not gonna prom with a bitch.
17:16Oh, my gosh.
17:20What?
17:22Excuse you?
17:23You heard me. We're done.
17:26You're gonna regret that.
17:27Jane Austen, eat your heart out.
17:45Watch it.
17:46What?
17:47Wait, I'll knock some sense into you?
17:49Look, I don't know what you think is happening with you and Tristan.
17:52Nothing's happening.
17:52Shut up.
17:53You just think you're so clever, don't you?
17:57Let me make you a promise, Adams.
17:59If Tristan isn't making your life a living hell anymore...
18:02I will.
18:05Gym class today was just the start.
18:07Can you please, like, stop doing that?
18:29Just let me know what's going on.
18:33I just wanted to say thank you for defending me earlier.
18:38You're welcome.
18:40So why did you end things with her?
18:44Um, because she's a bitch.
18:47Yeah, right. Totally.
18:55Don't leave him hanging, Adams.
18:58I don't know what I'm doing.
19:00What? You've never been on a date before?
19:01What? Seriously?
19:08Well, is it really that much of a surprise?
19:11I'm a nerd, a loser, an untouchable, remember?
19:14Oh, come on, you're not that bad.
19:17Gee, thanks.
19:19No, I'm serious.
19:21You know, when you're not walking around the school acting like you're better than everybody and calling people assholes.
19:26Yeah, well, you try getting bullied for ten years straight.
19:29Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire.
19:30So you want, like, you want experience, right?
19:44Because I can, like, totally give you experience.
19:50Are you?
19:51If this is a joke...
19:52It's not a joke, no.
19:53You're helping me with English, so why can't I help you with, like, other things?
19:58What kind of things?
20:03Things you will never find reading a book.
20:07Strictly educational, right?
20:10Yeah, strictly educational.
20:11No feelings.
20:15Good, because you know you're not really my type.
20:19Right back at you.
20:23So you ready to get down to business?
20:28Mm-mm, not so fast.
20:33Lesson number one, good things come to those who wait.
20:38But you...
20:39No, no, see, if we're going to do this, I'm in charge.
20:43Yeah?
20:44Okay, good girl.
20:46Let's try that again.
20:47So, that's what all the books are talking about?
21:11You're not going to swoon on me, are you?
21:13No.
21:16Was it okay?
21:18I mean, like, was it good?
21:20I haven't had my first kiss before, so I wasn't...
21:22Look, look, trust me, it was good.
21:24It was good.
21:26Trust you?
21:28Why should I?
21:33I promise you, you can trust me.
21:35It was good.
21:35What, no, no, what are you doing?
21:43What did I just say?
21:48And, like, anyway, isn't it time for you to teach me something?
21:52Come on.
21:52Come on.
21:52Come on.
21:54Come on.
21:56Come on.
21:58Come on.
22:00Come on.
22:02Come on.
22:04Come on.
22:05Now, who can give an example of subtext in Pride and Prejudice?
22:11What does that say?
22:14Well, let's go on.
22:15Let's go ahead.
22:15Let's go.
22:16Come on.
23:16Well, we both know he wouldn't really want to. He tried to ignore me, try to focus, but I'd
23:29move higher and higher and higher.
23:38Riley. Everything okay?
23:45Everything's fine.
23:46Yeah. You're flushed. Sure you don't want to go see a nurse? Okay, then. Back to Mr. Wickham.
23:54Austin is writing about the very slow, sometimes painful process of understanding another human
23:59being. That's what makes the book enduring. Not the setting, not the dresses or the balls,
24:06but the emotional honesty of watching two people become worthy of each other. And it's not just
24:12Elizabeth and Darcy. Consider how Austin treats the secondary characters. Mr. Collins, who
24:17is absurdly self-important. Lydia, who is impulsive to the point of danger.
24:22Please, like, don't hold back at all. You need at least a C-plus on your term paper to pass
24:35English. And as your tutor, I know you could use a better word than just good to describe
24:42Jane Austen's writing. Great. Like, really great. Um, I don't know. Masterful. See? That's much
24:56better. How about a, uh, reward for all my hard work? Give me my pen back. This pen? You want it? Yes.
25:05Yes. I need that pen. You need this pen. Give me the pen back. Give me the pen back. Get the pen. Give it. It's right here.
25:12We should really get back to your paper. I think it's your turn for a little tutoring.
25:42Riley was here late. Yeah, we had a lot of studying to do. So that's what the kids are calling it these
26:04days. Riley's just my English tutor. Right. Well, she seems like a keeper to me. Okay, well, there's
26:13nothing to keep because we're not together. But you like her, right? Yeah. I don't want to talk
26:23about this. Did my dad call? He called earlier. He had to extend his business trip by a few days. Right,
26:31of course. I mean, why did he get me to play football if he's just going to miss every
26:34fucking game? I'm sorry, sweetheart, but Tristan, you need to do what you want, not what other
26:41people want you to do. What's the fuck?
26:57Oh, my God. Girls, help her.
27:17Really, Amanda? Look, I was just trying to help. I mean, there's no shame in the game,
27:21honey. It is senior year, and you are still a virgin. So desperate times. Girls, let's go.
27:34Thanks.
27:50Oh, no, it's the least I could do. No, really. I owe you one. Well, you never did text me back
27:57about tutoring. We both know you don't need my help with English. All right, fine. The drama
28:03club is doing Shakespeare in the Park this weekend. It'll be my date to the show.
28:09Really? I'd love to.
28:15Awesome. I'll text you, Riley.
28:17Okay, so he's no Mr. Darcy, but I'd take a Mr. Bingley like that any day. I know, but look.
28:35Screw her, okay? She's an asshole.
28:37Can I, uh, can I ask you something?
28:43Can I, uh, can I ask you something?
28:59That's what I'm here for.
29:01Not about English.
29:02I'm having a party here on the weekend. You want to come?
29:08Well, what happened to being seen with me was social suicide. Seriously? King Tristan doesn't
29:15give a shit what people say.
29:18I don't know. Maybe I'm, maybe I'm taking a page out of your book.
29:22You know, maybe what I want to do with you shouldn't be seen in love.
29:42I have plans tomorrow night.
29:45Can I ask what?
29:49Tristan.
29:49Tristan.
29:52I promise you won't look good.
29:54There's one half of the party.
30:23he is not my man really then why are you at Shakespeare in the park with Chris

36:19I mean is that really how you want people to find out
36:21no what I want is someone who isn't embarrassed to be with me
36:25someone who doesn't live and die by his high school reputation
36:27someone I can trust
36:29okay I get it I fucked up
36:30I fucked up okay
36:32it's just what we had it felt really good

36:42I'm not taking that
36:43you need that for college
36:44I would rather work four shitty jobs to go to school than take a single cent from you
36:48whoops
36:50behind closed doors a secret we must keep your reputation precious while my feelings run so deep
37:03A secret we must keep
37:06Your reputation precious
37:09While my feelings run so deep
37:12You said social suicide
37:15If anyone should know
37:18While in your mother's library
37:21Our true colors start to show
37:23A stolen kiss, a whispered word
37:27Then silence in the halls
37:30Is this just education
37:33Or am I about to fall
37:37In private lessons
37:39Alright Adams, you drive a very hard bargain
37:43Tutoring won't work, Shakespeare won't work
37:46So, what about prom?
37:55I'd love to
37:57Yeah
37:58Dear
37:59Thanks
38:00Is it just a game you play
38:03Or destiny's design
38:06Oh Tristan
38:08Mr. Darcy
38:13Does your lack of appetite have anything to do with the fact that Riley hasn't been coming around anymore?
38:26Not so fast mister, what happened?
38:28People found out about us
38:32About what? The tutoring?
38:35The tutoring?
38:39Oh, right
38:40I hate to say I told you so
38:42Yes, okay, I get it
38:43You told me so
38:44Yeah, people found out about us
38:47And I may have said it was a joke
38:49Yeah, I know
38:50Yeah, I know
38:51I fucked up
38:52Honestly, I think I got scared
38:56Because like I really like her and I feel like I'm supposed to be this
39:06Um
39:07What is this supposed to crap?
39:09Since when do you let other people decide what's right for you?
39:12Since I want to keep my friends
39:15No, seriously, like people expect me to be this star football player
39:19And this guy that only dates girls like Amanda
39:22You know, and throw ragers and get fucked up
39:24But you know, not too fucked up
39:25Because that would be just too much
39:26It's like
39:27It's like people have this idea of me
39:29This perfect version of me in their heads
39:31And if I don't live up to that
39:33If I don't live up to that, then I'm nothing
39:36But you're not nothing
39:37If they are your real friends, they will accept you no matter what
39:41No
39:43I don't think it matters anyway
39:45Riley made it perfectly clear she wants nothing to do with me, so
39:49I don't know, I don't blame her either
39:52But it's not too late
39:54You like her
39:55You fight for her
39:57Out in the open
40:16Hey, uh uh asshole
40:20Just leave her alone
40:21I just gotta give her one thing
40:23Just one thing
40:25You alright
40:32Tristan, I...
40:34Withering heights?
40:38Looks boring
40:40Perfect cause it's not for you
40:45Honey, what are you doing?
40:46We discussed this, you're supposed to be done with this loser
40:49Amanda, you're actually the loser
40:50Amanda, you're actually the loser.
40:55I'm an idiot, okay?
40:56And I know we have a bunch of rules and everything,
40:58but I don't want to keep this a secret anymore, Riley.
41:01Like, I like you a lot, and I can't...
41:04I can't hide that.
41:06Am I hearing this right?
41:08You're choosing her over me?
41:10Are you fucking kidding?
41:12Tristan, this is not a good look.
41:13Yeah, well, good thing I don't care about what you think
41:15or anyone else thinks of me anymore.
41:18Fine.
41:20Enjoy being a nobody.
41:22I'm sure you and Reject Riley will be very happy together.
41:30I hope so.
41:33This is for everything you've done for me
41:35because you won't, you know, accept any of my money.
41:39I can't accept this.
41:41No, no, no, you can't, you can't.
41:42You know, I'm giving it to you because you're the only one
41:44that will actually, you know, take good care of it.
41:48Riley Adams, you are the best thing that's ever happened to me.
41:56Chase.
41:57No, I can't think of a better word.
41:59Riley Adams, you are the most captivating,
42:02the most electrifying, impressive, and magnificent girl
42:06I've ever met in my life.
42:07and I should have said this a long time ago, but
42:11you want to go to prom with me?
42:14You actually think this is going to work?
42:27I do.
42:29And I want to, I want to try to make it work, don't you?
42:31I do, but
42:32Can I trust you?
42:37I promise you, you can trust me.
42:40You really want to?
42:41Yes, yes, I really want to.
42:43Now can you please just get out of your own way and let me.
42:45I don't think I can.
42:48You can, because
42:49I will do you.
42:55Okay.
42:57Fine.
42:58I'll go to the prom with you just a minute.
42:59Yes.
43:01But
43:01there's something I have to do first.
43:03I'll go to the prom with you just a minute.
43:33I'll go to the prom with you just a minute.
44:03I'll go to the prom with you just a minute.
