00:26:31Let's go.
00:26:40Did you ever hear about how dolphins are like wet dogs?
00:26:46What?
00:26:48I read about it online.
00:26:50It kind of like makes you think.
00:26:55Yeah.
00:26:56Yeah.

00:27:28For my lady.
00:27:33Hey, can we get ice cream?
00:27:36Two, please?
00:27:36Yes.
00:27:37Um, what the hell are you doing here?
00:27:40Why are you wearing Brad's jacket?
00:27:42And Dan, really?
00:27:44Are you actually trying to hook up with this desk rat?
00:27:46We're on a date.
00:27:47Samantha, what do you want?
00:27:48If you're gonna steal my boyfriend, don't get mad when I steal yours.
00:27:53Dan, I could really use your help with my chem homework, like, in my dorm.
00:27:59Oh.
00:28:02Yeah, Samantha's got this project.
00:28:04I'll be right back.
00:28:05Just, yeah.
00:28:06Let's go.
00:28:13That's five bucks for the ice creams.
00:28:27Hey.
00:28:34Mia.
00:28:55Ga.
00:28:56Oh.
00:29:04Yeah, thanks.
00:29:04Oh, yeah.
00:29:07Wow.
00:29:12Okay, I'm sure.
00:29:13This is a trick.
00:29:13Whoa.
00:29:13Yeah, yeah.
00:29:14What the hell?
00:29:14Hey.
00:29:14Okay.
00:29:36I'm sorry.
00:29:39It's the last time.
00:29:44Did you start the second letter?
00:29:45Yeah, I had to write it by myself.
00:29:47Or, well, at least I tried to write it.
00:29:50Hmm.
00:29:51Let's see it.
00:30:09It's not terrible.
00:30:13You know, that's the nicest thing you've ever said about me.
00:30:18Wait, you actually read her favorite book?
00:30:21Yeah, I did.
00:30:23Very romantic.
00:30:25Very gushy.
00:30:26A lot of stargazing.
00:30:28And just a lot of feelings in general.
00:30:32Yeah, that's called literature, Brad.
00:30:36Well, I see why she likes it.
00:30:40You really like this girl, huh?
00:30:43You know, everybody says that they don't care what other people think about them, and it's not true.
00:30:49You know, but Chloe really just, she does her own thing.
00:30:53You know, she's focused on something other than herself, and I don't know.
00:30:58I think that's really cool.
00:31:02That one's perfect for you.
00:31:08Isn't this a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio?
00:31:10Yeah, yeah.
00:31:11That's the one.
00:31:12Well, why do you think this is perfect for me?
00:31:19Because you're always chasing your green light.
00:31:24Hey.
00:31:26There you are.
00:31:28I'm looking for you.
00:31:30Well, that's my cue.
00:31:32For real.
00:31:47Hey.
00:31:53I've been thinking about you.
00:31:55Really?
00:31:56It must be hard with Samantha's tongue so far down your throat.
00:32:00What?
00:32:01Hey, babe, nothing happened.
00:32:03Hey, I promise.
00:32:05Look, you were the only person that matters to me.
00:32:09Okay.
00:32:10Why?
00:32:13Why what?
00:32:14Why do I matter?
00:32:16What are you into?
00:32:19I'm into you.
00:32:19I'm into you, of course.
00:32:23Okay, but why do you like me?
00:32:27You're really pretty.
00:32:29And, like, you weren't always this pretty.
00:32:33Like, I'll be honest with you.
00:32:35I didn't even realize we were in the same class for a while.
00:32:40Hey, but now?
00:32:41You were, like, really hot.
00:32:45Yeah.
00:32:47Anything else?
00:32:47Uh, what?
00:32:50You, like, trying to confuse me?
00:32:53Okay, wait.
00:32:56You're beautiful.
00:32:57Oh, you already said that.
00:33:01Babe, what?
00:33:09You know, everybody says that they don't care what other people think about them, and it's not true.
00:33:15You know, but Chloe really just, she does her own thing.
00:33:20I think that's really cool.
00:33:23I wish you saw me the way you see her, Brad.
00:33:56Look, it's already been a couple days, and she still hasn't responded.
00:33:59I'm pretty sure she hates me.
00:34:01No, it hasn't been that long.
00:34:04Maybe I should just talk to her.
00:34:06No.
00:34:07No, that's not how this works.
00:34:09You need to let her wonder.
00:34:11Let her wonder, huh?
00:34:13Yeah.
00:34:13Or maybe, or maybe, now hear me out, I could just talk to her and tell her that I like
00:34:19her.
00:34:20And ruin the mystery?
00:34:23Are you sure you put the letter in her locker?
00:34:25Yes.
00:34:26Brad, I'm sure.
00:34:34Look who's back.
00:34:36Desk rat herself.
00:34:38What's in the bag, rat?
00:34:39Another tragic hoodie, or did Goodwill finally cut you off?
00:34:44Stop.
00:34:45Samantha, give it.
00:34:46Give it back.
00:34:49Let's see.
00:34:57My dearest Chloe.
00:34:59Oh, my God.
00:35:00No wonder you're a virgin.
00:35:02Too busy playing for the other team.
00:35:03Samantha, give it back.
00:35:06Yes?
00:35:07It's not funny, please.
00:35:08Hey.
00:35:12What the hell's going on?
00:35:17Samantha, what the hell is your problem?
00:35:19Give Mia her bag back right now.
00:35:20Since when do you take Charity Case's side over mine?
00:35:24I know you still love me, Brad.
00:35:26Samantha, you and I had a fling for like a minute.
00:35:29And then you started acting like a complete psychopath.
00:35:31You and me are not a thing.
00:35:33So give Mia her bag back right now.
00:35:39This is all her fault.
00:35:47Thanks.
00:35:52Brad.
00:35:53You didn't give Chloe the letter.
00:35:56I...
00:35:56Mia.
00:35:58You lied to me.
00:36:00No.
00:36:00Yeah, you didn't.
00:36:01No.
00:36:28Brad.
00:36:30Please.
00:36:32No.
00:36:33No.
00:36:34No.
00:36:35No.
00:36:37No.
00:36:38No.
00:36:38No.
00:36:44Who is it?
00:36:46It's Brad.
00:36:50Come in.
00:37:01Why didn't you give her the letter?
00:37:05I don't know.
00:37:08Bullshit.
00:37:08I don't.
00:37:09I don't.
00:37:10What, did you want some money?
00:37:11Was that it?
00:37:12You were just trying to squeeze some more money out of me?
00:37:13Fuck you, Brad.
00:37:16There must have been a reason.
00:37:18Mia, you're the smartest person I've ever met.
00:37:20I refuse to believe that you just didn't know what you were doing.
00:37:22Or that it was an accident.
00:37:23Okay, I'm sorry.
00:37:25I'm really sorry, okay?
00:37:26But I can't keep writing for you anymore.
00:37:29You don't understand how hard it is to make someone fall for you when it's not even you.
00:37:43I need you, Mia.
00:37:49I put the letter in Chloe's locker and she wrote back.
00:37:52But I just...
00:37:55I can't read it without you.
00:37:58I'm not doing this anymore.
00:38:06Please.
00:38:29Dear Chloe, I don't know how to tell you what you make me feel without sounding like a total cliche.
00:38:34But when I see you, everything else fades.
00:38:41I like the way that you always bite your pen when you're stuck on a sentence.
00:38:44Like you're trying to scare the words into place.
00:38:50I like that you don't try to fit in.
00:38:52You just exist.
00:38:54Exactly the way you are.
00:39:02You make the world's chaos quieter just by being in it.
00:39:07Brad.
00:39:31She wrote back.
00:39:33I was gonna throw up.
00:39:35Okay, let's see.
00:39:39Okay.
00:39:41Dear stranger.
00:39:43Every time I open my locker, my heart sinks if it's empty.
00:39:47Each letter you leave makes the story of my life feel a little more complete.
00:39:52Oh, that's good.
00:39:55But every story has to step off the page eventually.
00:39:59What if we met?
00:40:04She wants to meet?
00:40:07Oh my god.
00:40:17What's this?
00:40:19It's Chloe's favorite band.
00:40:21You want her to think you guys have things in common, right?
00:40:24Yeah, yeah.
00:40:26What about when girls like when guys have their own interests?
00:40:29Okay, but not when their thing is basketball and burping the alphabet.
00:40:34You remember that?
00:40:35Yeah.
00:40:37That's bad. That's really bad.
00:40:39Oh my god.
00:40:40Okay, so let's see. Okay.
00:40:44Chloe's favorite book?
00:40:46Um, The Night Circus.
00:40:48Okay.
00:40:51Chloe's favorite movie?
00:40:53Pride and Problems.
00:40:55Prejudice.
00:40:56The movie's called Prejudice?
00:40:58Prejudice. Pride and Prejudice.
00:40:59Oh, Pride and Prejudice.
00:41:01Good job. Okay.
00:41:02All right.
00:41:03What food does she hate?
00:41:05Um, anything with olives.
00:41:08Good job!
00:41:10Hey, look at you.
00:41:11You're not completely a lost cause.
00:41:13Hey, they don't call me B-Rad for nothing.
00:41:16Okay.
00:41:19You're taking her on the first date.
00:41:21Where are you going?
00:41:22The drive-in movie theater.
00:41:25Hmm.
00:41:28Let me ask you something.
00:41:31If someone were to take you on a date, where would you want to go?
00:41:38It's not important. Anyways, I don't drive, so...
00:41:42You don't drive?
00:41:43I never got my license.
00:41:46You're lying.
00:41:48Oh, my God.
00:41:50Little Miss Overachiever never got the license.
00:41:52This is amazing.
00:41:53It's not funny.
00:41:54It's very funny.
00:41:56It's pretty funny.
00:41:57Wow.
00:41:59Well, lucky for you, Coach Sterling over here is open for...
00:42:04driving lessons.
00:42:05No, Brad. It's not happening.
00:42:07Yes.
00:42:08I'm serious. No.
00:42:10No, I'm serious.
00:42:11It's not a joke. It's not gonna happen.
00:42:14It's happening.
00:42:23All right, driver's head time. You ready?
00:42:26I'm not doing it.
00:42:27Come on, you're a genius.
00:42:29How hard can driving be?
00:42:31No, I'm serious. Brad, please just drop it.
00:42:33Look, what are you so afraid of?
00:42:35It's a car, not a shark. You're gonna be fine.
00:42:37Yeah, well, my dad died in one.
00:42:39And my mom's been in the hospital ever since.
00:42:42So, uh...
00:42:43I'm not driving.
00:42:49I got an idea.
00:42:51All right, so why don't you just stay right here.
00:42:54Okay.
00:43:05What are you doing?
00:43:08We're gonna take it slow.
00:43:10Just like a turtle.
00:43:12And lookit...
00:43:14Nothing's gonna happen.
00:43:16You trust me?
00:43:19I do.
00:43:21Great.
00:43:23Hop on in.
00:43:24Okay.
00:43:27I think I got you a gift.
00:43:29Okay.
00:43:30Let me see.
00:43:34Cute.
00:43:35Oh, my God.
00:43:38You got this.
00:43:42Perfect.
00:43:43All right.
00:43:44That's the brake.
00:43:45That's the gas.
00:43:47We're in drive.
00:43:50That's reverse.
00:43:51Okay.
00:43:52All right.
00:43:52So, it's a neutral right now.
00:43:54Whenever you're ready, put it in drive.
00:43:57Slowly put it on the gas.
00:43:59Okay.
00:44:01On the gas.
00:44:02Right on the gas.
00:44:03Hold on!
00:44:08Okay, all right.
00:44:10Wow, that was great.
00:44:11No, no, no, no.
00:44:12Hey, no, hey.
00:44:13Hey, I got you.
00:44:14I got you.
00:44:15And honestly, not too bad for your first time.
00:44:17I almost killed us.
00:44:18Well, that builds character.
00:44:21Yeah, you did great.
00:44:22I think lesson one is complete.
00:44:25All right.
00:44:26My turn.
00:44:29Lucas?
00:44:32Oh, my God.
00:44:34Do people really look at each other like that?
00:44:36I mean, come on.
00:44:38Yeah.
00:44:39If they're blind.
00:44:42Watch, I better get a kiss right here.
00:44:44Right here.
00:44:45Oh.
00:44:46Oh!
00:44:47God, then.
00:44:48Look at you.
00:44:50I just don't understand why people think this stuff is, like,
00:44:53so romantic.
00:44:56It's the build-up.
00:44:57The anticipation, you know?
00:44:59Just like her.
00:45:00You can kiss your company goodbye.
00:45:04So, are you sure?
00:45:08I've never been more sure of anything in my whole life.
00:45:16What about your mom and the company?
00:45:19Sorry, I need to take this.
00:45:21You're okay.
00:45:23Hello?
00:45:24I'll be right there.
00:45:28Mom?
00:45:29You said it was an emergency?
00:45:31It's nothing, sweetie.
00:45:32Just a little scare.
00:45:34I'm fine.
00:45:36And who is this handsome young man?
00:45:38Your boyfriend?
00:45:40Yes, yes.
00:45:41Hi, I'm Brad Sterling.
00:45:43It's great to meet you, ma'am.
00:45:44Oh, you were quite the catch.
00:45:48What are your intentions with my daughter?
00:45:50Mom?
00:45:50He's not my boyfriend.
00:45:57Her heart is failing faster than we expected.
00:45:59She needs a transplant within the week.
00:46:02How much?
00:46:03Even with insurance, you're looking at $200,000.
00:46:08Man, there are other options.
00:46:09It's okay.
00:46:10I'll figure it out.
00:46:11Man.
00:46:12Trust me.
00:46:13I'll figure it out.
00:46:25Hey.
00:46:29I'm such a freaking idiot.
00:46:32This whole time, paper hearts, it's...
00:46:35That's why you're doing it.
00:46:36Yeah, but Brad, I'm stuck.
00:46:38Even with everything I've saved, it's not enough money.
00:46:41Hey, hey, hey.
00:46:41It's okay.
00:46:42It's okay.
00:46:50You know what?
00:46:52You're not doing it alone anymore.
00:46:54Because I got a plan.
00:46:56Alright?
00:47:00No.
00:47:08We're back for it.
00:47:10We're happy with you.
00:47:14We'll be right in.
00:47:32We're here for some amazing removes.
00:47:47Pretty good for Team Morale.
00:47:50You're insane.
00:47:51Hey, I've been called that before, actually.
00:47:55You're welcome.
00:47:57It's not going to be enough money.
00:48:01Well, then we'll keep trying.
00:48:03And you're going to keep trying, too.
00:48:15Oh, no.
00:48:18I'm falling for him.
00:48:22Come on.
00:48:23Get to work.
00:48:28Just five more essays.
00:48:34Is that why I didn't give Chloe the letter?
00:48:37Because I wanted him for myself?
00:48:40Okay.
00:48:42Here you go.
00:48:43You'll wear this on your date.
00:48:45I'll feed you the lines.
00:48:46You repeat them.
00:48:47No improvising.
00:48:48Got it?
00:48:49Just repeat them.
00:48:50No improvising.
00:48:51Okay?
00:48:52What if I think it's something really funny to say?
00:48:55Well, then just keep it to yourself.
00:48:57Okay.
00:48:58Yep.
00:48:58Wow, my very own dating coach.
00:49:01Yeah.
00:49:02You need it.
00:49:03So.
00:49:03You ready?
00:49:05Born ready.
00:49:07Oh.
00:49:12Okay, smile and relax, okay?
00:49:15Oh, my God.
00:49:16I'm going to pee my pants.
00:49:18You're going to do great, okay?
00:49:19I'm right here.
00:49:20Okay, she's coming.
00:49:21She's coming.
00:49:28Brad Sterling.
00:49:29Hi.
00:49:30It's great to officially meet you.
00:49:32You, too.
00:49:35Okay.
00:49:38Wow.
00:49:41I can't believe it's you that's been writing me those letters.
00:49:46You know what they say.
00:49:49You know what they say.
00:49:51You can't judge a book by its cover.
00:49:54I guess you're right.
00:49:59Tell her she looks beautiful.
00:50:02You look beautiful.
00:50:05You know, that word is so overused that it's lost all of its meaning.
00:50:12But it has it with you.
00:50:19So, why me?
00:50:21Why the letters?
00:50:23Your smile.
00:50:26Your smell.
00:50:27I'm sorry?
00:50:31You smell like, uh, like a wet dog in the summer.
00:50:36What?
00:50:37No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:50:38Say.
00:50:39I mean, in the sun.
00:50:40I mean.
00:50:41Is that better?
00:50:41No, no, no.
00:50:43Say, say, you're easy to talk to.
00:50:46You're easy to talk to.
00:50:48Because you're so easy.
00:50:52Are you okay?
00:50:53Can you hear me?
00:50:54Brad, books.
00:50:55Tell her you liked her book.
00:50:58Pride and Olives.
00:51:00No.
00:51:00It's an overrated book.
00:51:02Uh-huh.
00:51:04It's overrated.
00:51:06I mean.
00:51:07Okay, um.
00:51:07No, no, no, no.
00:51:08Look.
00:51:08Oh, my God.
00:51:09Oh, my God.
00:51:10I knew this was a mistake, so I think I'm just gonna go.
00:51:13No, no, no.
00:51:13Don't.
00:51:14Don't let her leave.
00:51:15Stole her.
00:51:16I'm gonna go.
00:51:16I'm really.
00:51:17Hold on.
00:51:18I'm sorry.
00:51:19I'm not sorry.
00:51:20I just feel a little bit.
00:51:22Can I, can I try again?
00:51:24I'm sorry I wasn't being honest with you.
00:51:26Stick to the plan.
00:51:28What are you doing?
00:51:29Okay.
00:51:33Brad.
00:51:35Chloe.
00:51:36Hello?
00:51:39Hello?
00:51:40I just.
00:51:41You know, you're somebody that I kind of, uh, have been watching and kind of.
00:51:45What is he saying?
00:51:48Sorry.
00:51:56He's got this.
00:51:59And I'm losing him.
00:52:04Nothing.
00:52:05Not a word.
00:52:08Guess it went well.
00:52:11He doesn't need me anymore.
00:52:16You're so funny, yes?
00:52:17What's up?
00:52:18Tell me more.
00:52:19I was thinking.
00:52:19Mm-hmm.
00:52:20What are you thinking?
00:52:21What are you thinking?
00:52:22What are you thinking?
00:52:23What are you thinking?
00:52:24What are you thinking?
00:52:24What are you thinking?
00:52:25Whoa!
00:52:27Hey, Mia.
00:52:29Hello.
00:52:30Hey.
00:52:31Hey.
00:52:35It's not what it looks like.
00:52:37Oh, really?
00:52:37Let me guess.
00:52:38You were just tutoring her in anatomy.
00:52:41Hey, come on.
00:52:45Really?
00:52:48Okay, look.
00:52:49There's.
00:52:49Obviously, there's enough of me for all of you.
00:52:53Gotta learn to share.
00:52:57Oh, my God.
00:52:59You're actually dumber than I thought.
00:53:02What?
00:53:04You were never special, Dan.
00:53:07I just thought you were.
00:53:10But reality check?
00:53:12You're just another generic jock with a two brain cell capacity and an expiration date.
00:53:18Yeah.
00:53:19And years from now, you'll just be that guy at the bar washed up talking about the high school games
00:53:25that nobody remembers.
00:53:27Right here, Dan.
00:53:30Right?
00:53:30This is your peak.
00:53:32It's all downhill from here.
00:53:36Dan the man!
00:53:37Yeah!
00:53:39Woo!
00:53:42Woo!
00:53:44Woo!
00:53:53Dan, I thought I told you.
00:53:55I don't want another dumb, overbuffed guy's coming.
00:54:00I don't want another dumb, overbuffed guy's coming.
00:54:03I don't want another dumb, overbuffed guy's coming.
00:54:06I don't want another dumb, overbuffed guy's coming.
00:54:13I don't want another dumb, overbuffed guy's coming.
00:54:16I don't want another dumb, overbuffed guy's coming.
00:54:18I don't want another dumb, overbuffed guy's coming.
00:54:18I don't want another dumb, overbuffed guy's coming.
00:54:18I don't want another dumb, overbuffed guy's coming.
00:54:19I don't want another dumb, overbuffed guy's coming.
00:54:20I don't want another dumb, overbuffed guy's coming.
00:54:21I don't want another dumb, overbuffed guy's coming.
00:54:23I don't want another dumb, overbuffed guy's coming.
00:54:54Just a jam.
00:55:08I have zero time or interest in dealing with you.
00:55:11Relax, desk rat. I'm not here to fight.
00:55:15Then what do you want?
00:55:16Imagine my surprise when your dumbass accidentally sends me your personal info straight from the Paper Hearts account.
00:55:25Exhausted much?
00:55:27I have no idea what you're talking about. That's not mine.
00:55:31Hmm. Two phones. Weird for a broke little charity case.
00:55:36Get out, too.
00:55:37Smile.
00:55:38Give me my phone back.
00:55:39Holy shit.
00:55:40It's you. You're Paper Hearts.
00:55:42Please? Please, Samantha, you can't tell anyone. I'll do your homework, your essays, whatever you want.
00:55:47I don't care about any of that.
00:55:49Then what do you want?
00:55:50I want the truth. Why is Brad always with you?
00:55:57I need to tell him about Samantha.
00:56:02Hey.
00:56:03Hey.
00:56:03Hi.
00:56:04You look beautiful.
00:56:07How was your class?
00:56:08It was good.
00:56:09It was good.
00:56:09It was good.
00:56:10You're going to go back to the seminar?
00:56:11Yeah.
00:56:11Hey, Mia.
00:56:13Mia.
00:56:15Hey, I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:56:17I, um, Chloe. This is Mia, my good friend.
00:56:22And Mia, this is Chloe, my girlfriend.
00:56:27Hi. Brad talks about you all the time.
00:56:30Yeah, same.
00:56:34Um, I actually had something to tell you.
00:56:36Yeah, what's up?
00:56:39Uh, I...
00:56:41I broke up with Dan.
00:56:43Oh, really?
00:56:45Well, that's great. He's, uh, a total moron.
00:56:48Yeah, I'm sure you deserve much better.
00:56:50Yeah.
00:56:51Well, see you guys around.
00:56:53Hey, Mia, why don't you, uh, come to the game later?
00:56:56Yeah. I'll sit with you if you want.
00:56:58Yeah, that'd be great.
00:56:59Yeah, maybe.
00:57:01Um, see you guys around.
00:57:02Okay, see you there.
00:57:24Hell of a love story, isn't it?
00:57:27Shame, it's all a lie.
00:57:29My figure.
00:57:31I've heard it.
00:57:33I've heard it.
00:57:34See this.
00:57:35Woo!
00:57:36Yes!
00:57:37Baby, go!
00:57:42Go on.
00:57:43Okay.
00:57:49Sorry, excuse me.
00:57:50Just coming through.
00:57:51Sorry.
00:57:53Uh.
00:57:56Hey, Chloe.
00:57:57Oh, my God, hi.
00:57:58I'm so glad you're here.
00:57:59Yeah, um, it's a good game.
00:58:02I need to tell you something.
00:58:03Actually.
00:58:04Oh, my God.
00:58:06Ron, are you okay?
00:58:08Yeah.
00:58:11I'm okay.
00:58:12Are you okay?
00:58:13I'm okay.
00:58:14Are you scared?
00:58:14I'm okay.
00:58:16All right, I got you back.
00:58:17Go, good luck, good luck.
00:58:18Got this.
00:58:24What were you going to say, Mia?
00:58:27Um, I need to tell you, um, I've been...
00:58:31Go on.
00:58:32Tell her.
00:58:38I...
00:58:40Ugh, I knew you'd chicken out.
00:58:42Brad didn't write those letters.
00:58:45What?
00:58:46Our little ghostwriter here did.
00:58:48Every word.
00:58:49They were just messing with you.
00:58:51Both of them.
00:58:52Chloe, it's not like that.
00:58:54At all.
00:58:55So, everything was a lie?
00:58:57It wasn't a lie.
00:58:59At all.
00:59:00I...
00:59:01Oh, Chloe.
00:59:03Wait, I...
00:59:07I...
00:59:08No.
00:59:10Where are you going, man?
00:59:16Un-fucking-believable.
00:59:19All this work, Captain Love's story, ditches the team, out of some stupid girl.
00:59:28God.
00:59:31I bet he's been fucking desk rat, his new chick found out.
00:59:38No, actually, I heard she's been screwing Professor Luke for her grades.
00:59:43Probably half the faculty.
00:59:46It's a shame that, uh, one pathetic whore cost us the game.
00:59:51What the hell did you just say?
00:59:55Relax, man.
00:59:58If you're into leftovers, that's your call.
01:00:08Hey!
01:00:08Fuck you!
01:00:10Fuck you!
01:00:11Get off!
01:00:14What the hell's your problem?
01:00:16Don't you ever talk about her like that again.
01:00:31Brad?
01:00:34Talk to me.
01:00:35You really told me everything, huh?
01:00:36No.
01:00:37Everything?
01:00:37Oh, what's wrong with your hand?
01:00:39Captain!
01:00:40My captain is...
01:00:42You little bitch!
01:00:44Hold it.
01:00:46You think you're some kind of hero?
01:00:48Oh, my gosh!
01:00:49Stop!
01:00:53Get up!
01:00:54Get up!
01:00:54Sorry about your boy, Tilly Princess.
01:00:57Hey, thanks.
01:00:59Hey!
01:01:03Sorry, Brad.
01:01:06Let's go.
01:01:07Come on!
01:01:07Come on!
01:01:08Oh, my gosh!
01:01:09Brad!

01:01:16Oh!

01:01:27It's okay.
01:01:28Hurry!
01:01:32Okay!
01:01:33Okay!
01:01:39It's just driving.
01:01:45You're gonna make it, Brad, okay?
01:01:46Stay with me.
01:01:48Okay.
01:01:59I'm so sorry this happened.
01:02:02It's all my fault.
01:02:06I wish you would have never asked me for help.
01:02:11I wish I would have just stayed invisible to you.
01:02:16None of this would have ever happened.
01:02:24I would have never fallen for you.
01:02:26It's true!
01:02:42Oh...
01:02:43It's you...
01:02:44Chloe!

01:05:26Mia? Where are you going?
01:05:34I heard she's currently with Professor Luke.
01:05:38That's why she gets straight A's.
01:05:40Some people are just desperate.
01:05:59Oh, gosh. What do you want? I did what you asked.
01:06:03Except you didn't. And now it's time to pay the price.
01:06:09No, I told her the truth.
01:06:11You chickened out. And now Brad's still with her, not me.
01:06:15It's not my fault that he hates you.
01:06:17Please. If it weren't for your little love letters, he wouldn't even know she exists.
01:06:22You're seriously blaming this on me because he doesn't want to be with you?
01:06:27You need help.
01:06:31Give it back.
01:06:32Excuse me.
01:06:33What are you doing?
01:06:35No.
01:06:35All this from homework?
01:06:37What are you doing?
01:06:38Give me my phone.
01:06:39Oh, just call it interest for fucking up my love.
01:06:43Oh.
01:06:53You're going to regret that.
01:06:56Help! Help!
01:06:58Please, she's attacking me.
01:07:01Mayor Brooks, please respond to the principals of this immediately.
01:07:08Any other student would be expelled for this.
01:07:12But, give me your academic record.
01:07:14Two weeks suspension.
01:07:16Effective immediately.
01:07:18What?
01:07:19Principal Matthews, you can't do this.
01:07:20I need to be at school.
01:07:22I have nothing else.
01:07:23She stole my money.
01:07:24What money?
01:07:25Where would someone like her even get money?
01:07:27That's all, Mia.
01:07:28You can go.
01:07:29No.
01:07:32I said you can go.
01:07:34Sorry.
01:07:37She's...
01:07:37I said you can go.
01:07:43Samantha.
01:07:45Samantha.
01:07:47Please.
01:07:48I need that money for my mom's surgery.
01:07:50Not my problem.
01:07:51We can't just take what's not yours.
01:07:53Isn't that exactly what you did with Brad?
01:07:59At this rate, it'll take me a decade to earn the money back.
01:08:04Oh my goodness.
01:08:08Desk rat slinging wieners and beef.
01:08:11It's pretty on point.
01:08:12Leave me alone.
01:08:13Why?
01:08:15You got any footlongs here or is that pro bono just for the faculty?
01:08:20Get out of here.
01:08:21What are you doing?
01:08:23Hmm.
01:08:26Oops.
01:08:28You know, this is your peak move.
01:08:30Hey.
01:08:30It's all downhill from here.
01:08:32What's going on?
01:08:33Oh my God.
01:08:34What the hell is going on?
01:08:36It wasn't me.
01:08:37I swear.
01:08:38This comes out of your paycheck.
01:08:39What?
01:08:41I...
01:08:43I'm so sorry.
01:08:44I'm...
01:08:57You're lucky she got you to the hospital in time.
01:09:01Who?
01:09:03Mia.
01:09:04She drove you.
01:09:06No.
01:09:07No, Mia can't drive.
01:09:09She did that night.
01:09:11I...
01:09:13You are my everything.
01:09:16Jackson, you looked like you were about to meet Jesus back there.
01:09:20This part's my favorite.
01:09:21The way they realized they loved each other all along.
01:09:25Right.
01:09:26After three conversations and a kiss on the rain.
01:09:29Very realistic.
01:09:32It's romantic.
01:09:35It's cheesy.
01:09:36It's cheesy.
01:09:39You don't have to watch with me.
01:09:41No, I want to.
01:09:43I want to.
01:09:44I'm sorry.
01:09:46I'm...
01:09:47Okay.
01:10:09Hi, Dad.
01:10:11Hi, Dad.
01:10:17I wish you were here.
01:10:21You know how to fix this.
01:10:26Mom's really sick.
01:10:29She's really sick.
01:10:32And I can't save her.
01:10:36And I've tried so hard.
01:10:48Why did you leave?
01:10:52Oh, my God.
01:10:53Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
01:10:55I got you.
01:10:57You okay?
01:10:59Hey, hey.
01:11:01It's okay.
01:11:05I'm so sorry.
01:11:16It's all over.
01:11:18All the money is gone.
01:11:23Even if I worked every second, it wouldn't be enough.
01:11:27You know, when I came out here and I...
01:11:32saw you...
01:11:34I got so scared.
01:11:37Samantha took everything.
01:11:39I know.
01:11:40Every cent.
01:11:42And she knows who I am.
01:11:44She knows about me.
01:11:46And I'm paper hearts.
01:11:48Well, then we will do everything that we can to make sure that she gives it back.
01:11:52How?
01:11:53How?
01:11:54She has all the cards in her hands.
01:11:56If she exposes me, I'm done.
01:11:57No school.
01:11:59No future.
01:12:00Nothing.
01:12:02You know what?
01:12:04Yeah.
01:12:09Let's turn the tables.
01:12:14Let's go.
01:12:24You called for me, Principal Matthews?
01:12:30Yes, come in.
01:12:31Have a seat, please.
01:12:38Hi, Samantha.
01:12:41So, Principal Matthews.
01:12:43Mia did not lie about everything.
01:12:45Samantha was the one that stole everything.
01:12:47Everything from the car wash.
01:12:49Everything that Mia worked so hard to get.
01:12:51Even if that were true, which it's not,
01:12:54how would a charity case like her have thousands just lying around?
01:12:58Here's your proof.
01:13:01Every single cent went right into Samantha's bank account.
01:13:04Mr. Matthews, they're just trying to blackmail me because I know the truth about Mia.
01:13:08You know what, Samantha?
01:13:09This is exactly why I broke up with you.
01:13:11Because you lie.
01:13:12You lie and you manipulate and you don't care who gets hurt along the way
01:13:16as long as you get what you want, right?
01:13:18You want to play that game?
01:13:20Fine.
01:13:20You want to talk about liars?
01:13:22Here's your perfect straight-A student running a whole cheating empire under your nose.
01:13:28Paper hearts.
01:13:29That's her.
01:13:31And when I found out, they threatened me.
01:13:33And she attacked me.
01:13:35She told me that if I told anyone, she would kill me.
01:13:38So, I just couldn't hide it anymore.
01:13:41Is this true?
01:13:43What?
01:13:45This is ridiculous.
01:13:47No, it's not.
01:13:48Because I run paper hearts.
01:13:51I always have.
01:13:53And Mia has never had anything to do with it.
01:13:56You fully understand the consequences of your confession, Brad?
01:14:00Yes, I do.
01:14:02So, you expect me to believe a student like you who's barely turned in a completed essay his entire high
01:14:10school career?
01:14:11Well, that was exactly the point.
01:14:13No one would ever suspect it was me.
01:14:16You didn't.
01:14:17But yes, I ran paper hearts.
01:14:19I hired people to write the essays.
01:14:21I ran the app.
01:14:23I handled all the finances.
01:14:24And I made sure that it would never get traced back to me.
01:14:28Mia is a great, very hardworking student.
01:14:31And she would never do anything like this.
01:14:33She had nothing to do with it.
01:14:35I promise.
01:14:35Well, where did Mia get the money?
01:14:38Frankly, sir, I have no idea.
01:14:40But honestly, however much money is in Mia's bank account is really, well, none of our business.
01:14:46Brad, you expelled.
01:14:49Effective immediately.
01:14:51Samantha, so are you.
01:14:53What?
01:14:54Now, I'm willing to keep this quiet and not involve the police.
01:14:57But if you want to press your luck, theft of this amount will put you behind bars for five years.
01:15:05Now, maybe your daddy's attorneys and lawyers can shave it down one or two years.
01:15:11It's your choice.
01:15:19Thank you, sir.
01:15:36Well, well, well.
01:15:38Looks like Deserat is out of job.
01:15:41Ooh.
01:15:42You know, maybe you should look at the corner.
01:15:48And by the way, word of advice, I heard it pays better if you don't use protection.
01:15:55That's for every piece of shit thing you've ever said to me.
01:16:02Remind me not to piss you off.
01:16:04You already do.
01:16:06Thanks.
01:16:07Well, let's go to the hospital.
01:16:09Yeah.
01:16:15We have the money.
01:16:16Please, where's my mom?
01:16:18You're two hours late.
01:16:20We couldn't wait any longer.
01:16:21We had to move on to the next patient.
01:16:26Well, doc, can you move her back into the room?
01:16:30That's not how this works.
01:16:31Well, it is tonight.
01:16:32Hey, Brad.
01:16:33Hey, it's okay.
01:16:34Listen, doctor.
01:16:35Grab every single doctor, every single nurse, every person that you need to make this operation happen
01:16:40so we can save this beautiful woman's life tonight.
01:16:47Wait here.
01:16:53Hey.
01:16:54Hey.
01:16:54Hey.
01:16:55We're too late.
01:16:57We're not too late.
01:16:58It's going to be okay.
01:16:59I promise.
01:17:14You're thinking so loud.
01:17:15I can hear it.
01:17:19You're just glad you're okay, Mom.
01:17:29Mom, how did you know you were in love with Dad?
01:17:37Dad, we were at this terrible karaoke bar, and neither one of us could sing to save our
01:17:47lives, but he got up anyway, sang horribly, just to make me laugh.
01:17:58Everyone was staring, but all I could see was him.
01:18:06That's it?
01:18:10Love isn't some big moment, sweetie.
01:18:14It's the little ones that make you feel seen, safe.
01:18:20You don't have to be anybody but yourself.
01:18:28Mom, I think I might have messed everything up.
01:18:33Good thing you're the best fixer I know.
01:18:47Why did you do all of this for Mia?
01:18:50I don't know, because she's my friend.
01:18:53I think you do know.
01:19:10We're too different.
01:19:13But you and her, you always made sense.
01:19:24Write your own words this time.
01:19:26Write your own words this time.
01:19:52Please welcome to the stage, the one and only, Valedictorian Mia Brooks.
01:20:00Congratulations.
01:20:03I'm so proud of you.
01:20:04Thanks.
01:20:04Absolutely.
01:20:06Oh, wow.
01:20:08Good afternoon, everyone.
01:20:12I had a whole speech planned about hard work and dedication and all the usual stuff you're supposed to say.
01:20:21I've spent so much of my life writing words for other people.
01:20:26It feels wrong not to write this moment for myself.
01:20:30I want to talk about love.
01:20:35Love isn't some perfect story with a guaranteed happy ending.
01:20:40It's confusing and terrifying, and it makes you mess up over and over and over again.
01:20:51Because suddenly, someone else's happiness matters more than your own.
01:20:58And sometimes the scariest part isn't even falling for someone.
01:21:02It's letting them see you, all of you, and trusting that they won't walk away.
01:21:09I spent so much time writing stories for everyone else.
01:21:14I think it's time I write my own.
01:21:17Congratulations, class of 2025.
01:21:21It's time I take my own advice.
01:21:23Bye.
01:21:25What the heck?
01:21:26Well, the show must go on, everyone.
01:21:28We have our next runner-up valedictorian, Chloe Hartwell.
01:21:38Brad.
01:21:40Yeah?
01:21:41What are you doing?
01:21:42You're supposed to be at graduation.
01:21:43Yeah, why aren't you at graduation?
01:21:45I already got my diploma.
01:21:48No ceremony for me.
01:21:51Um...
01:21:52My parents are moving tomorrow.
01:21:54New investment.
01:21:56New town.
01:21:59T-tomorrow?
01:22:02You were just gonna leave without saying anything?
01:22:07I figured you'd be better off.
01:22:16I got your letter.
01:22:19Yeah?
01:22:22Any notes?
01:22:25I got too scared to read it.
01:22:27Thought we could do it together.
01:22:32But first, there's something I want to say.
01:22:36You're the most annoying, stubborn, frustrating person I've ever met.
01:22:46And I love you.
01:22:50I love you.
01:22:50And I'm done pretending, so if you don't feel the same way, just tell me right now.
01:23:00Yeah, you really should have read that letter.
01:23:05Why?
01:23:09Because then you'd already know how I feel.
01:23:11I love you.
01:23:13I love you.
01:24:57If we're going to make this long-distance thing work, you're going to have to learn how to drive.
01:25:01I'm already regretting this.
01:25:03Good.
01:25:04That's the spirit.
01:25:05We're going to die.
01:25:06No, we're going to be great.
01:25:09This is going to be awesome.
01:25:11Ready?
01:25:12Yep.
01:25:18Not too bad, huh?
01:25:20Not too bad.
01:25:20No, we're going to die.
01:25:50What now?
01:25:52Anything.
01:25:54Everything.
01:25:55Sounds terrifying.
01:25:57Not with you.
01:26:11Ready to go?
01:26:13Yeah.
01:26:14You're driving.
01:26:16Sounds good.
01:26:17Let's go.
01:26:19Yeah.
01:26:24Hold on, darling.
01:26:26Don't let me down.
01:26:29Hopefully you feel it too.
01:26:31Just give me a sign.
01:26:32Cause I know, I know it ain't over
01:26:39I want the next time
01:26:42Hold on, darling, don't let me go
01:26:46I wanna stay fearless, so just hold me close
01:26:50Cause I know, I know it ain't over
01:26:55You feel it too right
01:26:58So I want the next time
01:27:00I'll leave alone and just like that
01:27:02I'm back to being sober
01:27:04We'll leave it all on set
01:27:06Cause this way we'll be
