00:00Why am I not surprised?
00:08I'm glad to see entitlement is alive and well. By 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. Everybody knows social leprosy is contagious.
00:46Aren't we supposed to be coasting as seniors?
00:49My financial aid app got rejected, so if I actually want to go to college, I gotta start saving.
00:54Okay, but we have more pressing issues, like making sure you have a guy on your arm for prom, or 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.
01:09It's fine. I have all the romance I need. Rochester, Heathcliff, Mr. Darcy.
01:14That was probably the most action she's gotten, ever?
01:21So what, you're like a bookworm for hire now?
01:24Wow, I can read.
01:25Sarcasm and desperation. You know, you really are like the whole package, aren't you?
01:29Ooh!
01:30Honestly, I don't know what I ever did to Golden Boy. He'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...
02:16So, I'm thinking, jewel tones for prom, emerald green is like so our color.
02:23Yeah.
02:24Yeah.
02:25I 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.
02:39Oh, yeah. 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.
02:49Mm-hmm.
02:51Adams, we need to talk.
02:57I, um, I, 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...
03:14Aw, 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 the joke.
03:30Yeah, like I said, asshole.
03:32Wait.
03:33What if I paid you double your rate?
03:37Double?
03:38Come on, Adams, you walk around the school acting like you're smarter than everybody.
03:43But this is your chance to prove it.
03:47Fine.
03:48But we play by my rules, understand?
03:51Yeah.
03:52If we're actually gonna do this, I'm in charge.
03:56So 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.
04:06Why 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.
04:19Deal?
04:22Deal.
04:23Meet me in the library after practice and don't be late.
04:28Yes, ma'am.
04:33I told you Tristan likes you.
04:35Shh.
04:36First of all, shush.
04:37Second of all, it's just tutoring.
04:38First comes tutoring, then comes form, 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.
04:53He's gorgeous and...
04:55I do not like him.
04:57No.
04:59So, what's with the goo-go-eyes, hm?
05:04Okay, fine.
05:05He'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.
05:16Promise 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.
05:25Uh-uh-uh.
05:27Time for EE-Gine.
05:32This is my son.
05:37Ding dong!
05:45It's very inspiring.
05:47Careful, Adams. You keep looking at me like that, I might think you like what you see.
06:10You mean a dumb jock who made me wait 20 minutes for them?
06:12It's okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Alright, practice ran late, but I'm here now and I promise
06:20to be good. Pretty please. If you're late again, this is over. Yes ma'am. Okay, so if Mr. Darcy
06:40was like into Elizabeth the whole time, why didn't he just say something to her? It's
06:46dramatic irony. We know that Darcy has feelings for her, but he won't admit them to her or
06:51himself because they belong to different social classes. Okay, so he thought like if he got
06:57into a relationship with her, it would ruin his reputation. Ding, ding, ding. Gold star.
07:03He's smarter than he looks folks. Never get tired of being such a know-it-all? Never.
07:12Oh shit, I don't know. Invigorating, but the third edition was better. I'm excited for
07:33the fifth edition. I'm surprised your girlfriend even knows her school has a library. Oh.
07:45Don't you? By the way, she's not my girlfriend. So you guys aren't hooking up? I didn't say
07:59that. So you guys aren't going to the prom together and matching emerald green accessories?
08:06That's kind of just what happens, you know? Head cheerleader, quarterback, prom king, and
08:12queen. Two beauties and not a brain in sight? It's a cliche. Yeah? You think I'm a beauty?
08:21What? Um, no, I'm not. Let's just focus on pride and prejudice like you're paying me to
08:28do. Just, uh, just not here. That was, that was way too close. Then where? Come on.
08:42Wow. Well, you kids let me know if you need anything. Thank you, Mrs. Waters.
08:51Your nanny? My nanny? No, she's the housekeeper. Been with us since I was a kid.
08:58What is this place? This was my mom's office. Yeah, we haven't changed it since she died when
09:04I was in second grade. Second grade. Yeah, I remember. I'm, I'm really sorry that you're
09:12sucked. That was also when my mom left me and my dad. Right, but, um, you know, I, I still
09:21win, right? Like, uh, mine was way more tragic. I think we can both have equally tragic
09:27past. Yeah. And here I thought we had nothing in common. Me neither.
09:41No way. Your mom has a first edition of Wuthering Heights? Oh, wait, don't, don't touch that.
09:49Sorry, that's like her, uh, that was like her favorite book, so I just... I get it.
09:54It's my favorite, too. I've reread it, like, ten times, which I know sounds crazy, but I keep
09:59finding something new. Like, did you know that Bronte isn't fully co-signing on that all-consuming
10:04love? She's actually just showing how destructive obsession can, can...
10:09Uh, I'm sorry, I am rambling. You are, but you know, it's cute. So, whatever.
10:15Okay, uh, let's get back to work. Literary devices don't learn themselves.
10:24Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.
10:30There will be tons of cute guys at the party. Okay, lots of potential prom dates.
10:37Unless you already have something in the works with Tristan.
10:40Oh, okay. OMG, tell me, tell me everything. Girl, there is nothing to tell. He's king of the
10:47school and I'm persona non grata. He's not interested in... Of course not. I mean,
10:53who would ever want a piece of reject Riley?
10:58Unless...
11:01Have you ever gone down on a guy?
11:03I mean, you'll eat everything else anyway, so... It's rude not to answer someone's question.
11:24What? I was doing her a favor. She shouldn't eat all those carbs anyway.
11:27What do you want? I wanted to see if you're okay. Oh, so now you're worried about me? I thought you
11:44only worried about what other people thought. You should. Wouldn't want anyone to see us together.
11:49That's not fair. We both agreed that no one could know. Know what? That you're too stupid to pass high
11:53school English. Shit, Adam's an on the fucking asshole.
12:09Oh my gosh, are you okay? I will be. He is such a dick, but I've got an idea on how to make Tristan hot
12:19for teacher... well, Miss Tutor. No, don't say it. It's makeover time. No!
12:26Okay? We can doll each other up like we did when we were little kids. You need this. It'll be fun, okay?
12:33I'll cheer you up. I promise. You won't regret it. No purple eyeshadow this time. Oh, okay, fine.
12:41You won't regret it. You won't regret it. No one, please. Thank you.
13:00A bookworm's quiet haven. Hiding from the light. They call me reject Riley.
13:09I'll be a loser in the hall. While you're the king of crystals. Stand above us all.
13:23Hey!
13:27See, I pushed the thing and I did it.
13:31No! Yeah!
13:35I look ridiculous. You look hot, okay? And don't worry. I'm not the only one who thinks so.
13:46Let's have some flowers.
14:01Hey, you're looking good, Riley. Hey, I feel like I've never seen you with these things.
14:05Well, I'm usually not invited. I mean, I've just been busy tutoring and trying to save up for college next year.
14:12I know. Oh, that's right. I think I've seen some of your flyers.
14:16You know, I could actually use a little help in English.
14:20Really? But don't you get A's?
14:24Yeah, but if it meant seeing you outside of school a little bit more, I wouldn't be mad at you.
14:28Hey, Adams, can I talk to you for a second?
14:40What the fuck are you doing?
14:42That asshole was trying to get in your pants. I was doing you a favor.
14:44So? Maybe I want him to.
14:46Not him!
14:47Why not, Chris? He's nice to me, unlike you.
14:51Besides, what do you care anyway?
14:52I don't care.
15:06Tracy, baby, what are you...
15:12What are you doing with her?
15:16Nothing. We're, um, just...
15:19Nothing.
15:22Right. Nothing.
15:44Okay, so you're telling me after he dragged you into his bedroom he didn't have his wicked way with you?
15:50What are you doing with her?
15:51Ugh, boring.
15:53Luckily, there are other cherry popping fish in the sea.
15:55Gross.
15:56What did I tell you about mixing your metaphors?
15:5845, 46, 46, 46.
16:11Come on, purity ring.
16:13You could use the exercise.
16:14Maybe a little warm-up.
16:26Oops, sorry.
16:29Are you okay?
16:30I mean, she's just such an easy, I mean, big target.
16:35Shut the fuck up, Amanda.
16:37What did you just say to me?
16:41Like, don't talk to her like that.
16:42Okay. It's okay.
16:44What's the big deal? Why are you defending her?
16:46The big deal is I'm not gonna prom with a bitch.
16:51Oh my gosh.
16:53What?
16:55Excuse you?
16:56You heard me. We're done.
16:59You're gonna regret that.
17:00Jane, Austin, eat your heart out.
17:18Watch it.
17:19What?
17:20Where it'll knock some sense into you?
17:22Look, I don't know what you think is happening with you and Tristan.
17:24Nothing's happening.
17:25Shut up.
17:25You just think you're so clever, don't you?
17:30Let me make you a promise, Adams.
17:32If Tristan isn't making your life a living hell anymore,
17:36I will.
17:38Gym class today was just the start.
17:55Can you please, like, stop doing that?
18:02Just let me know what's going on.
18:06I just wanted to say thank you for defending me earlier.
18:11You're welcome.
18:13So why did you end things with her?
18:17Because she's a bitch.
18:20Yeah, right. Totally.
18:25Don't leave him hanging, Adams.
18:31I don't know what I'm doing.
18:32What, you've never been on a date before?
18:39What, seriously?
18:40Well, is it really that much of a surprise?
18:44I'm a nerd, a loser, an untouchable, remember?
18:47Oh, come on, you're not that bad.
18:49Gee, thanks.
18:52No, I'm serious.
18:53You know, when you're not walking around the school
18:55acting like you're better than everybody
18:57and calling people assholes.
18:59Yeah, well, you try getting bullied for 10 years straight.
19:01Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire.
19:03So you want, like, you want experience, right?
19:19Because I can, like, totally give you experience.
19:22Are you?
19:24If this is a joke...
19:25It's not a joke, no.
19:26You're helping me with English, so why can I help you with, like, other things?
19:33What kind of things?
19:36Things you will never find reading a book.
19:40Strictly educational, right?
19:43Yeah, strictly educational.
19:44No feelings.
19:48Good, because you know you're not really my type.
19:50Right back at you.
19:56So you ready to get down to business?
20:02Not so fast.
20:06Lesson number one.
20:08Good things come to those who wait.
20:10But you...
20:12No, no, no.
20:12See, if we're gonna do this,
20:14I'm in charge.
20:17Yeah?
20:17Okay.
20:18Good girl.
20:19Let's try that again.
20:32So that's what all the books are talking about.
20:44You're not gonna...
20:44You're not gonna swoon on me, are you?
20:49Was it okay?
20:51I mean, like, was it good?
20:52I haven't had my first kiss before, so I wasn't...
20:54Look, trust me, it was good.
20:57It was good.
20:59Trust you?
20:59Why should I?
21:05I promise you, you can trust me.
21:08It was good.
21:13What? No, no.
21:13What are you doing?
21:16What did I just say?
21:21And, like, anyway, isn't it time for you to teach me something?
21:25Come on.
21:29Now, who can give an example of subtext in Pride and Prejudice?
21:44I love this.
22:06So...
22:07Imagine if I was you know sitting even closer than I am now I'd probably put my hand under
22:35the desk rested on your thigh like right here worn still and just enough pressure so you'd know I'm
22:45there you'd shoot me a look that says stop but we both know you wouldn't really want to you try to
22:54focus but I'd move higher and higher
23:06Riley everything okay
23:15everything's fine you're flushed sure you don't want to go see a nurse okay then back to Mr. Wickham
23:26Austin is writing about the very slow sometimes painful process of understanding another human
23:32being that's what makes the book enduring not the setting not the dresses or the balls but the
23:39emotional honesty of watching two people become worthy of each other and it's not just Elizabeth
23:45and Darcy consider how Austin treats the secondary characters Mr. Collins who is absurdly self-important
23:52Lydia who is impulsive to the point of danger
23:55please like don't hold back at all
24:06you need at least a C plus on your term paper to pass English and as your tutor I know you could
24:13use a better word than just good to describe Jane Austen's writing great like really great

34:06So all that shit about trusting you, that was bullshit, huh?
34:13You're a coward, you know that?
34:15Yeah, I uh, I think you should go
34:18Baby, I didn't know you had that in you
34:34That was really mean
34:37I loved it
34:39So now that you're done slumming it for the bit
34:41What do you say we get back on track for prom?
34:48That fucking dick
34:50Honestly, it's my fault
34:51Riley, it is 100% not your fault
34:54No, I should have known better
34:55I shouldn't have let my guard down, you know?
34:57One's an asshole, always an asshole
35:07Look who's back on top
35:09I guess all is right in the world again
35:18You okay?
35:23I'm fine
35:33Damn you, Darcy
35:34Hey, can I just, can I talk to you?
35:49Whoa, in public?
35:50Riley, we both agree to keep this a secret
35:52I mean, is that really how you want people to find out?
35:54No
35:55What I want is someone who isn't embarrassed to be with me
35:58Someone who doesn't live and die by his high school reputation
36:01Someone I can trust
36:02Okay, I get it, I fucked up
36:03I fucked up, I fucked up, okay?
36:05It's just what we had, it felt really good
36:07It felt special
36:08And I don't want to ruin that by letting other people into it
36:10Right, I bet
36:13Here, that's all you paid me for tutoring, take it
36:15I'm not taking that
36:16You need that for college, I don't
36:17I would rather work four shitty jobs to go to school
36:20Than take a single cent from you
36:33Oh, I don't want to wait and answer
36:35Behind closed doors
36:36Behind closed doors
36:36A secret we must keep
36:39Your reputation precious
36:42While my feelings run so deep
36:45He said social suicide
36:47If anyone should know
36:50While in your mother's library
36:53Our true colors start to show
36:56A stolen kiss, a whispered word
36:59Then silence in the hall
37:02Is this just education
37:05Or am I about to fall
37:09In private lessons
37:11All right, Adams. You drive a very hard bargain.
37:15Tutoring won't work. Shakespeare won't work.

37:30Yeah, dear.

37:54Does your lack of appetite have anything to do with the fact that
37:57Riley hasn't been coming around anymore?
