What'd you do last night?

What'd you do last night?
You know, the usual:

Had the driver take me shopping,
hit a couple clubs.

Then I wound up at some after-hours
talking fashion with the Beastie Boys. You?

I picked up Ashley grant
in the Ferrari,

had dinner at one of my restaurants, mm-hmm.

Reluctantly made an appearance at some v.I.P. Awards show party.

You know,
same old thing. Right.

Watched TV and made a mix tape.

Played the accordion.

Thanks, dad.

Thanks, dad.

Ryan,
I'm only saying this because we're friends,

but you need to get over
this Ashley grant thing.

Because? You've been into her forever,
and it's just not healthy.

You're obsessed or something.
So?

So, Ryan, every guy
in school likes her.

You'd get crushed.

Hmm. Here comes
the steamroller now.

Hi, Ashley.

Whoa. Yo, baby.
Oh, hi!

Yeah.

Hey, Ashley.
Yeah.

There she is.

Hey, Ashley.

Whoa!

Did you see that?

Are you okay?

Ashley grant wants me.

Hey.

Hey, Floyd. You know what?
I'm gonna miss this place.

The games, the parties,

all these lovely women
diggin' me.

All but one of them.

All but one of them.

Maggie Carter.

Breaks my heart.
But I still got four weeks.

Come on, man.
How many times you gonna ask her out?

And be completely shut down.
This time I got a plan.

Oh! Sorry about...
Your mouth.

That's the first complaint
I've had about it so far.

That's the first complaint
I've had about it so far.

"Sorry about your mouth."

What the hell is wrong with me?

You suck with women,
especially fine ones like Ashley grant.

Way to go, champ.
Thanks.

Relax, Ryan.
It could be worse.

Oh, really?

Speaking of,
your mom's on stage in her nurse's outfit.

- Hi.
- Hi, Mrs. Woodman.

Attention, everyone.

Attention, everyone.

Could you please
take your seats?

Everybody find your seats
quickly, please.

We have a very exciting
lecture today,

and I'm sure you won't want to miss it.
Watch this.

You're gonna get dissed.

Excuse me.
Excuse me. Excuse me.

Oh, gotta pay the toll.

You want me to kick you
in the face?

That depends.
Would you be naked?

School's almost out,
and you're still saying no to me, Carter.

Say it isn't so.

Say it isn't so.

Really, man. The master
has lost his touch.

Hello, everyone.

I'm Katie woodman, school nurse,

and since summer's
approaching...

I thought I'd talk to you
a little bit about safe sex.

As you know,
the safest route is abstinence.

But if you're going
to be sexually active,

there's a few things
that you need to know.

Okay?

Okay?

Where is it?

All right.

Speaking of wood, man.
Yeah!

That from mommy's
personal collection?

Shut up.

Those of you who may not know,
this is the penis.

Okay, this is the male sexual organ...
come to my house after school.

Okay, this is the male sexual organ...
come to my house after school.

You want to? I'm having some friends over.
It will be fun.

The penis also carries urinary responsibility.

I can't.
I got plans.

That means that this
goes hand in hand with...

The latex condom.

Yeah!

Oh, man.

To be effective,
it needs to be pulled down all the way.

God,
that was like a bad dream.

Every man needs a dream,

and mine is to become
the next Virgil Doolittle.

You know what
he got expelled for?

Yeah, he stole gilmore's neck.
That's right.

Cooper gilmore has no neck
all because of Virgil Doolittle.

He got arrested.
And was charged with mayhem.

Mayhem! How cool is that?
The man's a legend.

The man went to prison, Floyd. Allegedly.

And besides, who cares?
It's been 21 years, and Doolittle lives on.

And besides, who cares?
It's been 21 years, and Doolittle lives on.

You know,
a recent survey showed that most women do prefer a man of danger.

What's up, cosmo?
How's it going? Cool.

♪

Hey. What's up?

Hey. What's up?

Do you think accordion players have groupies?
I mean, really good ones.

Why do you ask?
It's three weeks to prom.

Oh, that's right. I don't know,
I think it might be nice to go.

I figured,
who better to go with than my lifelong neighbor...

Best buddy and partner in crime?

- No prospects, huh?
- Have you seen me with any lately?

- You gonna make me beg?
- Yeah, maybe a little.

- You gonna make me beg?
- Yeah, maybe a little.

Guess you'll have to go stag
with Floyd and the boys.

- No, you got yourself a date.
- Thanks, Ryan.

I should be thanking you.

Good night.

Good night.

One out now.
Here we go!

I hear you're going to prom
with Maggie. Are you?

Where'd you hear that?

Stand up there,
Betty boop. It's all over school.

Maggie told me.
You excited?

Woodman my ass.
You got no lumber.

You're stickless.
You got no stick.

- Floyd, it's Maggie.
- Maggie's fine.

Dig in now here.
Closer.

Look, I know everything
there is to know about Maggie.

- Closer.
- It would be like kissing my sister.

Which isn't a terrible thing
in some parts of the world.

Walk it off.

Hey.
How many fingers?

Hey.
How many fingers?

Eleventy-seven?
Close enough.

Serrin, come on,
you're next. Let's go.

Are you okay?
Yeah.

The coach hit you.
Asshole. Ow!

Let's get out of here.
Walk it off.

I got a surprise for you, buddy.

Where the hell we going?
Right on time for the floor show.

- Can we come in?
- It's 20 bucks.

- Can we come in?
- It's 20 bucks.

- You said ten.
- In five seconds, it goes up to 30.

God!

Come on, let's go.

For one.
What? What?

Go! You owe me!
I want instant recall!

Rent-a-cop!

Excuse me, sir.
Come on. Let's move.

Sir, I don't know
where we're going.

It should be empty now.
You got two minutes.

You go right into the cage.
You get busted, you do not know me.

Go on in. You don't have all day.
Move. Go.

Can I borrow your brush?

Yeah.

Here it is.
Great. Thanks.

Five minutes!

Did you get a good look?

Hey, hold up.
Wish I could, my brother,

but you know how it is, right?

Maybe we can hang out sometime,

troll for some skank
or skank for some troll.

What?

What's up with Maggie Carter?

Yeah, man, what's up
with that little sassy?

Why do you ask?

Maybe I'm interested.
In Maggie Carter?

Trust me, I've known her my whole life.
She's not your type.

Actually, grant's not yours either,
but I could hook you up.

Homestyle's got the hookup.

Who says I'm into Ashley grant?
Oh, come on.

I seen you checking her out all year.
Just thought I could help you out.

- What's the catch?
- Why does there got to be a catch?

- What's the catch?
- Why does there got to be a catch?

I don't know.
Maybe because you haven't said dick to me in four years,

and suddenly you're
trying to help me out.

You're right. I don't know you.
You don't know me.

But prom's coming up.
I'm into Maggie. You're into Ashley.

She ever mention me?
No.

- Bitch.
- So what makes you think I have a chance with her then?

You don't, but Ashley's my cousin,
and I can help you.

Same goes for me with Maggie.
I don't know.

Why Maggie?
You could date any girl in this school.

Why Maggie?
You could date any girl in this school.

But Maggie's special.
I can tell.

What do you say?
You be me, and I'll be you.

Chris.

I need to talk to you.

Deal.

Deal.
Deal.

Do you know what this means?

You're validating
our entire species here.

I'm serious.
This is like Lyle lovett and Julia Roberts.

I'm serious.
This is like Lyle lovett and Julia Roberts.

Floyd... quasimodo and the notre dame chick.

Tommy Lee and...
Everybody.

Yeah! Of course,
he's somewhat gifted.

Studies show that 84 %
of all women polled...

Prefer technique
to physical size.

Don't tell me you can't
grasp the greatness of this.

You compared me
to the hunchback.

Next to Ashley grant, you kind of are.
I'd like to hunch her back!

Ashley's gonna love this.
I can't send her that.

You just did.
No. She's gonna hate me, man!

Hey, exactly.
I sent Maggie poetry from you.

Every guy in school wants to say something nice to Ashley grant.

Every guy in school wants to say something nice to Ashley grant.

Big deal. You gotta stand out,
be different.

Yeah, but
"your hair looks butch"?

Yeah.
Look, it will work.

Hey, Ryan,
your mom's heading this way.

Cosmo, get your hand
off the frickin' dick.

Don't worry, man.
Hey, Chris.

Hey, girls. You know Brian?
Who are your friends?

You realize we're gonna be
the biggest idiots in there.

We're here! Thanks, dad!

Marnie, is that my dress?
No.

I saw you groping her.

Look, it doesn't matter what I write,
Maggie's not gonna go for that.

Look, it doesn't matter what I write,

She volunteers at a nursing home,

Why?
That's what I'm talking about.

Grant isn't exactly
all hot for you either.

That's great. The idea was "Ryan impresses Ashley,"
not "Ryan depresses Ashley."

"Ryan gets pickle in Ashley,"

not "Ashley
gets Ryan in pickle."

Look, man...
Chicks dig assholes. Okay?

Check out stu and Harris.

They're both gonna
get laid tonight.

Come on, I'll show you.
Let's find Ashley.

Remember in grade school when you always picked on the girl you liked?

It's kind of like that.

Some girls are just insecure.

You're saying
Ashley grant is insecure?

She's the head cheerleader
of insecurity.

And if I treat her bad,
she'll go for it?

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

That doesn't make any sense.

You've dated how many

That's what I thought.

This isn't working.
Sure, it is.

Grant asked me 20 times if I thought
the e-mail guy was right about her hair.

Look, even if everything you said is true,
I don't want to be mean to her.

Right, seeing as how
she's so sweet to you.

Listen... you know what Ashley said to me today?

She's looking
for something special.

I can get you there.
You can be that guy.

You just have to help me
be that guy for Maggie.

I thought I was being abducted.

How come you bagged on the party?
I had better things to do.

Like sleep.
You should try it.

So I talked to Chris Campbell.

I bet that was educational.

Actually, it was.
He's not that bad once you get past the jock stuff.

He asked about you.

Yeah, I got some
goofy e-mail from him.

You didn't like it? I mean,
uh... did you write him back?

You didn't like it? I mean,
uh... did you write him back?

- Be serious.
- Why not?

You haven't been
on a date in forever.

You think I enjoy
asking you to prom?

Hanging out with you
and the guys every weekend?

- I thought you liked hanging out with us.
- Yeah, some weekends. Some.

Okay, then e-mail him.
Why not send him the famous Maggie Carter soul quiz?

That would be good for a laugh.
Maybe. But maybe he'll ace it.

Then you won't have to spend another miserable weekend with me.

Then you won't have to spend another miserable weekend with me.

You know what I meant.

Yeah... I know.

Good morning.
What's up?

You guys get dressed in the dark?
It's mismatch day.

Maybe I should
go home and change.

You and Ashley grant...
I think that's your mismatch.

You and Ashley grant...
I think that's your mismatch.

Opposites do attract.

Thanks, cosmo.
Probably not that opposite.

Hey, Brian, Carter sent me
like this midterm, you know?

Questions. I know.
It's a soul quiz.

It's movies, books, music.
If you pass that, you're a new man.

Famous. Of course,
there is one small hitch.

You do realize
Ashley grant hates me.

Clear the pool!

Man, she doesn't hate you.
She's confused by you.

Man, she doesn't hate you.
She's confused by you.

She's trying to act
like she doesn't care,

but, believe me, Brian,
she cares more than you think.

She just can't figure you out.
It's driving her nuts.

You're this "new guy" Brian,
who's not into her for some reason.

- But I'm not Brian.
- Hey, Brian. - Hi, Brian.

Hi.

There they are!

Step off.
What a doofus.

You girls are hot.
What's up, dudes?

Who's the gerbil?

I'm Floyd.
You know, Ryan's friend.

The chicks want me.
See you.

The chicks want me.
See you.

Come on.
You got a soul quiz to take.

Do you want to see
what I'm writing?

No, just make me look good.

Not too cocky.

Is everything okay?

The last book he read
was nine stories.

Salinger. Wow.
It gets worse.

Salinger. Wow.
It gets worse.

The Beastie Boys, the eels
and old cheap trick.

He aced it.

Movies?

Stripes, Casablanca
and anything by monty python.

That's great.
No, it's not.

It's horrible.
Chris Campbell.

Maggie, it's not that bad.

"Not that bad"? Man, he's gorgeous.
What am I gonna do?

- After tonight's double date?
- Not a chance.

Why not? Because as far as I can see,
there is nothing special about this person.

Why not? Because as far as I can see,
there is nothing special about this person.

That's what he said about you.
He did not.

I'm serious.
He said those things.

He really likes you, okay?

It's just one date.
Trust me.

Trust me.

Hello.

When any chick goes on a talk show with her fiance...

And has a deep, dark secret,

has it ever been anything
other than "I'm really a man"?

Your fiance invites you on TV to tell you something,
she's packing sausage.

Come on, man.
I gotta get ready.

I know. Listen, that's why I'm calling.
Be careful tonight.

Maybe pat her down before you get in the car,
just to be sure.

Maybe pat her down before you get in the car,
just to be sure.

- I've got another call.
- So what? Let it go.

It might be Chris.
Inbreed!

- Hello?
- I'm sorry, Ryan. I can't do this.

- I'm calling Chris.
- What?

Maggie, you have to.
It just doesn't feel right.

What doesn't feel right?
He passed the soul quiz. Ryan...

Maggie, i need your help.

No, you don't.
You're gonna be fine.

Sorry.

- Yeah?
- What kind of mongrel leaves a guy on call-waiting?

Floyd, I gotta go.

Cosmo says to check for an Adam's apple,
all right?

- Talk.
- Hey, Chris?

- That's me.
- Hey, it's Maggie.

- Hey, Maggie.
- Listen, I'm calling you about tonight.

Yeah, yeah... can you hold on one second?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Talk.

- Maggie's gonna call you. Don't answer.
- I already did.

Shit. She wants
to cancel the date.

The soul quiz?

She liked all that stuff.
I don't know what happened.

- Maybe she's nervous.
- Nervous stomach?

- Yeah.
- Yeah, probably the pill.

Put me on hold, and I'll try
to talk you through this.

But keep coming back
to me, okay?

Let's start with...
"I was really looking forward to seeing you tonight.

We seem to have a lot in common."
Yadda-yadda.

No, I don't think
"bitch, we had plans" will work.

Hold on.

Maggie?

Sorry about the wait.
It's cool.

So...

Great. Now that's my other line.
Can you hold on a second?

What happened? Oh, my God!
Your mom fell down the stairs!

What happened? Oh, my God!
Your mom fell down the stairs!

- What?
- Mrs. Carter, are you okay?

Chris, can I call you back?

Talk.
I just bought us a few seconds.

Dude, you let her go.
She's not going.

She is going.
Tell her you need to talk to a friend tonight.

- Why?
- You're depressed. Your grades suck.

- Your father's on crack.
- My dad played pro football.

- Perfect!
- You're getting your ass kicked for that.

I don't know what your problem is, Ryan.

I don't know what your problem is, Ryan.

Okay, she's back.

Now, don't screw this up.

Hold on.

Hello.

Sorry.
Sorry.

Hello? Chris?
Chris, are you there?

Y-yeah, I'm here...

Baby.

Are you okay?
'Cause you sound kind of different.

Yeah, well, um...
Oh, yeah, see, um...

Yeah, well, um...
Oh, yeah, see, um...

The battery's running low on my wireless,
so I have to put you on speaker.

- Can you hang on?
- Okay.

Just a second.

Okay.

Sorry about that.
Can you hear me now?

Yeah, sort of.
Listen, I hope you're not sick.

Well, you know... I'm sick
about this not happening.

Well, you know... I'm sick
about this not happening.

I mean, I know I'm a jock.
I'm brainless,

conceited, in love with myself.

At least, that's how
you must see me.

But let me tell you
how I see you.

The you I see...
Has a big heart.

She's smart,
fun to hang around with,

she's smart,
fun to hang around with,

doesn't take my shit.

And I like that.

I like that you look nervous
sometimes for no reason.

And when you do,
you bite your lip.

I like that you probably rifled through your closet tonight...

And settled with
what you'd started out with.

I like your smile.

I don't usually talk
this way, but, uh...

I don't usually talk
this way, but, uh...

I think being with you
wouldn't be irrelevant.

You know what I'm saying?

Or maybe I should just stop
with all this weak shit.

- No, it's nice.
- Oh. All right.

So let's do this, huh?
You know? No pressure.

We'll go hang out, the four of us,
get to know each other.

- We could talk, maybe...
- Swap some spit.

- We could talk, maybe...
- Swap some spit.

- Okay.
- Famous!

- What?

Yeah!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Oops.

Sorry.
Yuck!

Hi. Hey.
Hey. Hey.

- No, not exactly.

Sorry, bri.

Let's go.

Hey, man,
can I borrow your shirt?

Hey, man,
can I borrow your shirt?

No way, man.
I'll get cold.

Hey, girls, wait up.

What do I gotta do
to win a t-shirt?

You break it, you rake it.

Could you help me out, pal?
I got puke all over my shirt.

So?

Yeah!

Let's go, kids!
Who saw it?

Let's go, kids!
Who saw it?

He gave you his shirt?

A Ferris wheel.
Let's go.

What, man?
She was cold.

Wait up, girls.

Cute shirt.

Cute shirt.

Thank you.

Madge, who do you hang out with at gilmore?
Because I never see you around.

Mostly just Ryan.

Ryan?
Yeah. Ryan.

See, th-that's me.
Ryan's my last name.

Wait, wait. Your name is Brian Ryan?
Cruel parents.

I've told you a million times.

You've got to get
a faster modem.

You've got to get
a faster modem.

So, um, you were right,
that e-mail you sent me.

My hair looks terrible. No, no,
your hair doesn't look terrible.

But it hides your eyes.

You have really amazing eyes.

Really pretty, wandering...

Besides, compared to your jeans,
your hair is a work of art.

So it's really great
that you like the eels.

I mean, other than Ryan,
I really don't know anyone else who likes them.

Uh-huh.
The eels?

Uh-huh.
The eels?

Yeah, yeah.

They're... electric.

I can't believe you don't like these jeans.
They were really expensive.

- Even worse.
- Shut up!

It's the rhinestones,
isn't it? For starters.

- Who else do you like?
- I like you.

Mommy, can I have some cotton...

Anything else you
don't like about me?

- I could do without those shoes.
- What is wrong with my shoes?

- They're monstrous, bigfoot.
- Shut up.

I like that shirt.

The things I do for you.

You didn't like him?
I don't know.

What's the problem?
I'm just not sure he has any heart.

Okay, it's a beautiful
spring day outside.

Most of you are graduating soon.

You've got your entire lives ahead of you,
so let's talk about death.

We all know lung cancer's a serious killer in this country,

what? As is aids,
leukemia and diabetes.

How'd I do last night?
What is the leading cause of death in America?

Okay, but she says you don't have enough heart.
"Heart"?

Thank you, Mr. Campbell.

Heart disease
is the correct answer.

Heart disease

Oh.
Nice.

Last year alone...

Okay, make sure
you finish chapter 14.

I guess it could be worse.
Grant doesn't think you have any stones.

What?
She said that? Yeah.

But you're gonna play football with me and some of the guys today.

She'll be there?
Yeah. She loves it.

We'll make you look great.

Hey, man, is Ashley okay?

She's a little different
than I expected.

Did you go out with your dream girl,
and you don't like her?

Did you go out with your dream girl,
and you don't like her?

No, it's not that.
It's just...

- Good.
- Bad. Yeah.

Oh, she was nervous.

She gets that way
when she really likes somebody.

Hey,
you gonna play with us today or what?

Touch football, right?
Of course.

Get up, man. She's watching.

Okay, time-out. You said
this was touch football.

Okay, time-out. You said

These guys are like some huge government experiment gone wrong.

Come on.

Ouch.

Get up, man.

I used to play a little ball
back in the day.

Back in what day?

Ready to end this thing, Brian?

She wants heart.

We'll give her heart.
You want her to fall for you, right?

Maggie's gonna be here any second.
All right. Wait.

If she digs it, then what?

Then I don't know.
Try talking to her.

- Tell her how you feel.
- See if she needs a lift home.

- Tell her how you feel.
- See if she needs a lift home.

All right,

Hey, you work here too?

Yeah.

I, uh...

I like to come here

Uh, to visit

You think that's gay?
No, I think it's nice.

Oh, yeah?
Yeah.

Well, that's what I do.

- Who ate my jell-o?
- Pipe down, you old bag.

- Fine.

Brian, give me that jell-o.

Hey, that's my jell-o.

Mmm-mmm-mmm.

Mm-hmm. Don't you think it's sweet,

I have to go to the bathroom.

Okay.
You want me to take you to the bathroom?

No.

- You want Chris to take you?
- That would be nice.

- Do you mind?
- I was hoping that she'd ask.

Now, don't drop me.

Well, I guess this room's

Yeah.
I should get going.

Oh... okay.

That is a really nice outfit.

Ride home.

Do you want a ride home?
No, I have some stuff to do at the school theater.

There's a school theater?
Since when?

I mean, uh... that's cool.
I don't mind.

Okay.
Yeah.

I'll meet you downstairs in 15 minutes?
Fifteen minutes.

Okay.
Okay.

The theater.
That's perfect.

Yeah, right.
Look, nobody better see me there.

So... are you in a play
or something?

Me? No.
I'm not much of a thespian.

Yeah, well, I hope not.

I'd be wasting my time
if you're only into chicks.

So do you like plays?

Oh, yeah.
We got this one...

We got this one...

Will you help me out?
Shh.

Hey, Chris. Yeah?

Let me ask you something.
Okay.

Then he has these
amazing moments.

- So he's okay?
- Yeah, he's okay.

You know,
I can remember summer nights when I was younger,

just lying in bed and listening to your
father play the accordion for your mom.

"Melt with you."
It was her favorite.

I can remember feeling so safe and happy listening to that song.

Just wondering if one day someone would be that good to me.

He used to say he played
every note just for her.

This feels so strange.

You know, me and Chris,
you and Ashley.

It's almost like somebody messed with fate.

I'm gonna call it a night.

Hey, Ryan.

He'd be proud of you,
you know...

Your father.

Yeah.

You guys want to check out my prom date finalists?

Taylor and cinnamon.

Whoa.
Hookers?

Escorts.
Their people tell me they're interested.

You talked to their pimp?
We prefer "broker."

You talked to their pimp?
We prefer "broker."

Floyd, you can't bring
hookers to the prom.

No way, dude.
I guess not.

Bet you Virgil Doolittle went stag anyways.

I just had my legs waxed.
Oh, and look. It's new.

Do you like it?
'Cause I can take it out.

It works.

Sorry.

Wow, three more of those and you walk today...

No way.

So...
I'll see you tonight then.

Floyd, wait up.
I'm sorry, okay?

But I'm this close to getting her.
That's great.

but maybe at some point
it's just not worth it.

I got this one.

Hold up, guys.
I got this one.

Thanks, man.

I heard his father's in prison.

I heard he slept
with the school nurse.

He's hot!
Oh, he's boiling!

Take me to the hotel, driver.

Somebody's in a hurry for some lovin'.

Chris...

This night is really
important to me, okay?

It's important to me too.

Um, why don't you
lie on the bed...

And make yourself
a little more comfortable?

Good idea.

Ooh, this is it!

On your back, stallion.

Ash, look,
we got all night, right?

Yes, we do.

Okay, well...
Mmm, okay.

Why don't you just wait here,
and I'll go get us some champagne.

Okay.
All right.

Forgot something.

Hurry back.
Okay.

Hey, um,
do they have a jail out here in the woods?

Damn, Carter,
these knots are pretty tight. Summer camp.

Oh, God.

When good girls go bad.

Hey, uh, this isn't like
one of those games when you...

You give me a 30-second head start and then hunt me down,
is it?

Don't move.

Because I'm really slow
and not very cunning.

I'm sure you'd have me
in 45 seconds, tops.

Maggie?

Have you seen Maggie Carter?

Who knew you were such a freak?

I'm surprised you didn't.

I mean,
you knew so many other things about me...

Like my favorite movie.

Casablanca.

And my favorite book.

Ni-ni-ni-nine stories.

By the way,
which one's your favorite...

Of the nine stories, hmm?

Of the nine stories, hmm?

The long one?

Sorry, Chris.
Wrong answer. What?

Yeah, uh...

Carter, you're sort of starting to creep me out here.

Shh.

There's just one more question.
Okay.

How's it feel to be played?

What?

Okay.

Smile now, prom date.

Smile now, prom date.

You know, Chris,
there's one thing you're right about.

What we do tonight is probably how we'll be remembered.

Hey, Maggie.
Hey, guys.

Is that, um...
Chris.

Yeah.
Tell your friends.

Shh. Don't say a word.
Just have me.

Uh, you do know that people
will be looking for me and...

This is really all Virgil Doolittle's fault.

Sure, I want to be a legend and all, but, hey...

Hey, I was just joking around,
pulling a prank.

You should really
think about it...

Your future.

Yeah. Okay,
I'll do that.

Thank you.

Maggie.

Maggie!

Maggie, I need to talk to you.

Lying and cheating weren't enough?
Now you're breaking and entering?

Lying and cheating weren't enough?
Now you're breaking and entering?

Ow.

The prince ascends my balcony,

looks deeply into my eyes
and says, "ow."

How romantic.

You didn't let me finish.

I mean, ow,
that really hurts like hell.

But not near as bad
as losing you.

Or knowing that
I can't take it back.

Or knowing that
I can't take it back.

I wish I could, Maggie.

You lied to me, Ryan.

You steered me right
into that world,

made me feel like I belonged.

You do belong.

You belong with me.

You know, talk is cheap, Ryan.

And if there's one thing I've learned from all this,
it's that.

And if there's one thing I've learned from all this,
it's that.

If I let you off the hook,

do you know how much you owe me?

I do.

The things I do for you.
