What's going on over there? That's Remi's place.

Who? Remi Aguilar?

- What, is she famous or something? - Yeah. I mean, kinda.

How was I?

- You were wonderful. - Great.

I mean, so calm. And eloquent.

You have a real camera presence.

I didn't sound too pretentious when I called

the other finalists my "peers"?

No, not at all. No, don't be ridiculous.

No, I mean, that's what they are. They are your peers.

I know, but that's such a gross word.

You know, I... I feel like the mere act of using it

makes me sound like some sort of snob.

You make a good point.

Carmen! What? I hear her argument.

No. Thank you, Mom. Yeah, yeah.

You are not a snob, okay?

In no world are you a snob. No.

She's like the smartest girl at my school.

Perfect SATs, perfect everything.

I heard she won some big Google fellowship thingy.

I bet they're interviewing her for that.

Is she cool? No idea.

I think I've said eight words to her in four years.

Who does she hang out with?

Honestly, I think her parents.

♪ I'm alive

Okay, I think I'm all set.

Okay, well, text us when you get to Penn Station.

Yeah, and when you're safe in Stephanie's dorm.

You know, navigating the city alone could be a little overwhelming.

Yeah. I put some mace in your bag just in case.

Where? What... Honey,

we just want to make sure you're okay.

I know, but I think I've been to New York enough times.

It'll be fine. Okay.

Better to have it and not need it, right? Exactly.

All right. I love you guys.

Love you. Love you.

Are you Remi?

Uh, yeah. Okay.

I thought so. I...

This is gonna sound, like, super weird, but I...

I was just talking about you today.

My friend was telling me about this, like, super smart girl

that won this Google award, and she, like,

lives across the street from him or whatever,

and I just saw you on the platform, and I thought, "Wow, crazy coincidence."

Kind of random, but I just thought, I don't know,

I thought it was cool, so I thought I would say hello.

I'm not a stalker.

Who's your friend? Oh, PJ.

Fader? Yeah. He... he lives...

Yeah, neighbor. Mm-hmm.

He's a drug dealer, right?

PJ? No.

Okay, I'm not naive.

There's people coming in and out of his place all afternoon.

Well, yeah, he... I mean, he...

He sells weed sometimes, but he's not like a drug dealer.

I mean, his cousin lives in Colorado and sends him stuff

sometimes, and then he, you know, resells it to people he knows.

At a profit?

Okay... I see what you did there.

I'm Barnes, by the way.

Did you say "Barnes"? Barnes Hawthorne.

Barnes Hawthorne? Yeah, I know.

It makes me sound like a crusty old author or something.

I'm assuming that you're referring to Nathaniel Hawthorne?

I wouldn't call him crusty. You know...

I know, technically, he was a Puritan and whatever,

but he was really edgy and provocative for his time.

You know, just a direct influence to Emerson and Whitman,

and I don't know, I think there's crustier authors out there.

Right. Right, right, right. Just, yeah.

PJ said you were a genius. No. I'm not a genius.

Oh!

I'm on the floor tonight for the David Byrne show at the Beacon.

Really good seats. You said David Byrd?

David Byrne, like from... Talking Heads.

I'm stoked.

You know Talking Heads? No, I haven't...

I don't. Yeah. Really?

Oh, my God! Oh, my God.

Talking Heads are this New Wave band from the '80s,

and the lead vocalist, David Byrne, he's like the greatest performer ever.

He's such a crazy guy.

They made music, like, 40 years ago,

but it sounds like, it's from the future.

It's incredible. You have to check it out.

Yeah, I never even heard of them.

What about you?

Where are you going tonight? I'm visiting Columbia this weekend.

Okay... Is that where you're going next year?

Maybe, but I just want to see where I get in first.

I'm sure that's gonna be a real nail-biter.

What do you mean? Well, you're gonna get in everywhere.

No, not necessarily, I don't think.

Come on. I'm serious.

You've got perfect SAT scores.

You've got the whole Google thing.

You've got the whole Hispanic thing.

The whole Hispanic thing? Yeah.

You have... "Aguilar" is Hispanic, no?

Yeah.

I don't see how that's relevant.

You don't? No, I don't.

I didn't mean it like, that you need a leg up or... or whatever.

You know, if you did... Right obviously, you don't.

That's not what I'm... I just mean if you did,

having that particular background wouldn't necessarily,

like, hurt your cause, you know?

I think I'm gonna... get back to my podcast.

Really? So, that's it? We're... we're done?

No worries, man.

I will relocate.

Yeah, I'm at the station now.

I'm getting on the second train.

Yeah, I know where I'm going.

Excuse me. Sorry. Sorry about that. Hey, Remi!

Remi!

Sorry. I'm still not stalking you.

Okay. I swear. I...

I made you a playlist.

What do you mean? Yeah, a...

a bunch of Talking Heads tracks that I thought you would like.

I made it public, like on my Spotify, so you can just...

You know, because I thought...

There's only one other Barnes Hawthorne on there,

but he's, like, you know, some old guy who listens to country music

and stuff like that, so I'm the other guy.

Okay.

Also don't shuffle it, because the order is intentional.

I started with the more, like, accessible, mainstream stuff,

and then down near the bottom, it gets into,

like, experimental territory, so it's... it's cool.

Just... yeah, so I don't know. Check it out on the train or something.

Yeah. Or don't.

You know, no pressure whatsoever. All right.

I wish you good luck at Columbia.

Thank you. Good talking to you.

Yeah, you too.

Hey!

Are you... You're not... You should take the three instead.

Why?

If you get on the local now,

it's going to make, like, a million stops.

It's gonna take forever.

But if you take the express to 92nd and then transfer to the local.

You're gonna save yourself, like, 30 minutes.

Are you sure? I'm going to the same place.

You said you were going to a concert?

I am. I'm... I'm stopping at my cousin's place first.

It's on 119th, so...

You take the express with me,

you're gonna save yourself a major headache later.

That's all I'm saying.

Sorry about before.

It's fine. You don't need to apologize.

I... I... It was a little rude. I felt like a dick.

Yeah, maybe it was a little dickish.

Yeah. I hate when people make assumptions about me too.

Apology accepted.

Yeah? All right. Yeah.

Well, okay, so... let me start over.

I know you're not a shoo-in, but just for fun.

You get in everywhere you applied.

Where you gonna go?

Harvard. Boring.

Okay, yeah, whatever.

It's the predictable choice, but...

it's Harvard.

No, seriously, the courses, the professors, the resources...

they're insane.

Their track record for getting undergraduates

into top law schools is unbelievable.

You wanna be a lawyer.

Yeah, it's been, like, the thing since I was five.

Are your parents lawyers? Yeah.

My mom's a litigator and my dad's a consultant.

Who does he consult? Mostly lawyers.

Yeah, but they do corporate stuff.

I... I would do public sector.

So, advocacy and legislation, labor and employment too.

The plan is a circuit judgeship by 40.

Holy smokes.

That's making good time. That's... Wow, man.

Seems like you've got it all figured out.

What about you? What about me, what?

Where are you going? I'm not.

You're not going to college? Correct.

Yeah, but you applied. Nope.

People who don't even think they're going to get accepted apply.

I bet even PJ applied.

Seems like you're struggling to understand here.

Okay, so no college. What's the plan? What are you doing?

I'm taking a gap year. To do what?

What do you mean? How are you using your gap year?

For nothing. That's, like, the whole point.

Is it?

Mm-hmm. No plan at all?

Well, no, I told you, the goal is to do nothing.

So, one might argue that I actually have a very solid plan.

No one is arguing that. Oh...

Okay, but because you're not going to college,

you should, you know, bolster your resume,

or just get real-world, practical experience.

You mean like a job. Yeah, exactly, like a job.

Sounds like a lot of work. No, you're doing something.

I'm sorry. It's none of my business,

but at the same time, I'm inserting myself.

- What about music? - Like, what do you mean?

I... I feel like...

I don't know, it's something you're really interested in.

You could probably get a really good internship somewhere at, you know,

- a record label, or production company. - I see. Maybe.

No, it could be, I don't know. I'm just saying, you have options.

- No, yeah, I'll... I'll keep it in mind. - Because think about it.

You could do... You just don't get it.

No, you have the freedom to do whatever you want.

You know, you could teach English in Kathmandu,

or you could plant trees in the Amazon,

you know, save the sea turtles in Costa Rica.

Sea turtles? Yeah.

I just saw this documentary on it, actually, at my dentist's office,

and they were... Wait. Your dentist has a TV?

Yeah, you know, like the ones on the ceiling?

Yeah, right. Whatever. That's not the...

In the documentary, they were showing that, you know,

anyone could just go and work and live with these volunteers,

and you guys hatch these sea turtles

and release them into the ocean, it's...

That looks like an incredible experience.

Maybe you should take a gap year.

Yeah.

Why not? I got the college thing.

I mean, what's the... Says who college? Take a gap year.

A-ha!

I see what you're doing. I get to dish out life advice if you do.

That's all I'm saying. I got it.

I hear the feedback. Okay.

Yeah.

I... I'm going.

I suppose this is...

goodbye.

Tragic.

Au revoir. Bye.

Hey. Remi, hey!

We should go on a date!

I'm sorry, what?

I was... I was... I was...

I was just saying, do you want to go on a date with me?

I literally can't hear what you're saying.

Hey, watch out!

Shit! Hey! Hey! Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. It's not even... that bad.

You know you don't have to stay with me, right?

I don't mind.

What about your concert? There's an opening act, so...

So, how about that date?

I feel like there's something happening here, you know?

It'd be nice to... Nice to continue it.

You know, we could go see a concert.

We could go see, like, a movie or something, or grab sushi.

Sushi?

Yeah, I know this wicked sushi place. No.

You don't like sushi? No, I love sushi.

All right, perfect. Barnes.

What?

We are not going on a date.

Why is that? I...

I don't know. I feel like it's pretty obvious.

Is this about the pot? Because I don't smoke weed.

You know, as much as it might seem.

I'm not like a... I smoke weed...

I'm not like a... I don't wake and bake.

This has nothing to do with the pot.

What is it, then? Look at where we are right now.

You think this is my fault? This is not my fault.

How? What, you want me to...

Okay, first, you sit next to me on the train.

You know, you talk my ear off,

and you're making me these curated playlists,

and then you sell me on the uptown express, and you...

I was trying to save you some time...

Yeah, but you're missing the point

that I'm trying to make though. I...

I just...

I have a lot of important things in my life right now that...

I worked really hard for, and I'm not going to risk messing...

it all up because of some cute guy I met on a train.

"Cute guy"?

She called me a cute guy. Yeah, you're proving my point exactly.

Aguilar, Remi.

That's you. Yeah. Yeah.

I...

wish you all the best, Barnes.

Handshake. Ouch.

Just one date?

It could be really fun. Sorry. I can't.

You're just not the kind of person that I want to let into my life right now.

Don't take that personally.

Why would I take something like that personally?

Remi Aguilar!

Here. Keep it.

It's yours though. I don't want it.

Yeah, well, I'm... My bad.

Um. Yeah... wish you the best.

Good luck. You too.

Good luck with... the stitches.

Okay. We know that prom comes with certain...

Yeah. For girls.

Oh, um...

I actually don't think we need to...

I think we're... we're good. No, we talk about everything.

Yeah, sex shouldn't be any different. Yeah.

Well, I don't... I think... I think I know what you guys are going to say,

so we should drop it.

Well, I mean, honey, your father and I trust you completely.

We just want you to know that.

Yeah, no, really, thank you. I am so good.

Well, we really like Lucas.

No, you guys...

Hey, you think I could... you think I could borrow the car tonight?

Where are you going? I'm going to the prom with Erica.

Remember Erica Morris? How could I forget?

She's not that bad.

I've met her at least four times,

and she could never remember my name.

Not once. She called me "Sam." Well, you do look like a Sam.

I don't know. No, she is pretty full of herself, you're right.

Please tell me you're not dating her again.

God, no. Honestly, I don't even like her that much.

Then why are you going to her prom?

I don't know. It's like a...

it's like a favor, you know?

Her boyfriend just broke up with her,

and she's too embarrassed to go by herself, so I just thought... Eh!

Well, that's awfully chivalrous of you. Yeah. I'm a chivalrous guy.

Yeah, that was irony. I was being ironic.

- Okay, smile. - Prom!

Can I just say, sir, your shirt is amazing. I love it.

Thank you. Yeah, there you go. You want another one?

One, two...

Here we go.

That was great. Cool.

I love you. Yeah, make sure you do that.

- Have fun. - Not too much fun, but fun.

- All right, see you. - All right, you guys.

- Bye! - See you.

-Thanks for doing that, -No problem.

Your parents are great.

Yeah, they're ridiculous.

Sweet.

Oh, yeah, no, sorry. Ew.

I had a hunch you were into me.

That's why I booked us one of the bedroom slots at the lake house.

Bedroom slots? At the after-party.

Got us midnight to 12:30.

Wait! Okay, please tell me you're joking.

Lucas, we agreed to go as friends.

So, did half the other couples going tonight,

and they're all gonna have sex.

I'm not having sex with you. What?

Yeah, not tonight, not ever.

Yeah, I think he fixed my neck.

Oh, my God, Barnes, I'm so sorry.

I can't believe Connor did that.

It's all good. Did he ask about me?

What? Or say anything about my dress?

Just tell me what he said!

He... he actually told me to stay away from you.

Oh! Really? Anything else?

Is he, like, wondering how I'm doing

or where I'll be at later tonight?

I don't... I don't think so.

Oh. Well, if he comes back, maybe let it slip in

that I'll be at Kaley's place down in Long Branch, okay?

Thanks, Barnes. You're the best.

Yeah, nice to see you too, Erica.

Sweet girl.

You know, I'm beginning to think that I was in the middle

of some sort of plot to make her boyfriend jealous.

How do you even know her?

Um. We used to... Doesn't matter.

Hmm.

It was a long time ago.

You hear that?

"Burning Down the House."

You listened to my playlist? Yeah.

Well, you told me to.

Yeah, I didn't think... Yeah, I listened in order.

And then I became obsessed,

and then I had to go through their entire discography,

and I fell into this wormhole for weeks,

and then I found out they had that concert film,

you know, where it starts off with him and the boombox,

and then, like, every track, they add a new musician,

and then there's 20 of them by the end? That's Stop Making Sense.

Yeah, Stop Making Sense. That's the greatest movie of all time.

I've never seen anything like that before.

I really wish that I had been at that Beacon show that you went to,

because that set list was insane.

It was the greatest show I've ever seen. I'm so jealous.

Well, twice. What?

Once tonight, and then once on the train.

Yeah, but once previously. Twice total.

I got you there.

Come on! Let's go!

Is anybody home? My mom's on graveyard.

You want to see my room?

These are the digs.

Nice. You want something to drink?

No, I'm all right, thank you. I have, like, water and orange juice.

What's all this?

These are my flowers. Is this, like, a hobby?

I don't know.

There was this old man who lived in our complex in Japan.

I used to go over to his place when my mom was at work,

and he had all these flowers he would grow, and bonsai trees and stuff.

So, like, a floral Mr. Miyagi?

Yeah, kind of.

Yeah, but I... I don't know. I got into it, and then when we moved,

I snuck a few plants across customs and stuff.

This guy here is the Rocky Mountain Coneflower.

It's from Colorado.

It's, like, a super hard seed to find. PJ's cousin got it for me.

This is cool.

Plants are highly sensitive to music, actually.

Oh, yeah, I... I knew that.

There's this documentary out there where they talk about

how plants take on the energy of their surroundings.

So, what they ended up doing is they filmed the plants in a time-lapse

and then played a bunch of different sounds,

stuff like Beethoven, screaming babies,

train horns, glass shattering, whatever, just like a wide variety of noise,

and you could see the plants reacting on film.

It was... it was actually pretty beautiful.

We don't have to if you don't want to, but... No...

I don't have any. No, I have some.

PJ gave me some.

Don't.

Oh, my God. No.

We're not talking about that. Those aren't mine.

Well, they're meant for me. Like, I can use them.

Here. You got a lighter?

I actually don't. I was banking on you having one.

Well...

you were right.

You should... Go easy.

First time smoking can be... It's not my first time.

Oh? It's my second.

Whoa!

I know. I tried it for the first time a couple weeks ago

during a school debate trip.

Remi Aguilar, the pothead? Don't be condescending.

My apologies.

I wouldn't say...

You good? All right, hold on.

Sorry.

Here. Whoa, whoa, whoa!

She's dying over here.

Sorry. You okay?

Mm.

You need me to call somebody? No, it's fine.

Can I tell you something?

Sure.

I... I kind of only went...

to be a sacrificial prom date

because I hoped that you would be there.

What do you think about that?

I knew that you were a stalker. Is it stalker?

I think it's more on the charming side.

Yeah, okay, so it's stalker adjacent.

Okay.

If you felt that way, why didn't you try to contact me sooner?

Well... I seem to recall you saying

I'm not the kind of person you want to let into your life right now.

You remember that?

God, I'm such an asshole.

Maybe we should help him.

Dude, it's the 4th of July. I'm not painting a house.

I'm going to the lake to get wasted, right?

Yeah. That does sound like more fun.

Hey. All these years, I've lived across the street from you.

I thought you were just some stuck-up nerd.

I thought you were just an illiterate drug dealer.

I knew you guys would get along, eh? All right, all right.

I don't do three-ways.

Hey, kid!

Let's keep it moving, huh? This ain't the playground!

Bite me, PJ!

It's okay. No. You're good. Just say hi to your sister for me, okay?

Whoa!

Are you kidding me? Wow.

That's my hero. I just got abused.

That's it for me. Party wagon leaves at 2:00.

All right.

Yo!

Save that for the lake. No.

We don't leave for another hour.

Yeah, we got a long night ahead of us.

Your dad's right there. I'm trying to be a good influence.

How's that going?

Fair.

You can really see into my bedroom from here.

Oh, I know.

What is this? It's my visa application.

So, we can tell your parents now?

How many times have we talked about this?

Okay, when we tell my parents that I'm going to put off school

so that I can go save sea turtles with you...

it's gonna get ugly.

Maybe they'll be happy for us. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe.

You know, maybe they'll chop you up into a bunch of tiny little pieces

and use you as fertilizer for the lawn.

Is that what happened to the last guy? Yeah, the last couple.

That's why the grass is so green.

Sunglasses. I think you're underestimating them.

We're actually becoming very good friends, do you know that?

No. I've been texting your dad.

We were sending each other Supertramp videos on YouTube last night.

That's so weird. I can't find my sunglasses.

Can I tell you something? Yeah.

They're on your head.

Thank you.

Your parents love me, I'm telling you.

It's crazy. They're like obsessed with me.

Yeah, sure, they love you now, but they think you're temporary.

Why would they think that I'm temporary?

Because they see you as sweet,

slightly rebellious bad boy, on the summer fling

with their perfect, Ivy League-bound daughter.

So, I'm just a fling? No.

Am I a fling? No.

No, I'm saying this is how they see you, that everything is good right now.

Yeah, maybe you're right. Maybe we'll tell them.

I have faith in them.

This is a prank, right? No.

This is real. It's happening. Sea turtles?

We're talking about the round green things that are swimming around in the ocean.

Those sea turtles? Correct.

I was talking to my daughter.

Dad. Baby, come on.

Aren't there other people that can look after the turtles?

Yeah, maybe we can send someone else, you know, as a replacement.

Then that completely defeats the purpose. You guys are missing my point.

Honey, you got into Harvard.

You can't just throw that away for turtles.

She's not throwing anything away.

This has nothing to do with you. Nothing to do with you.

Dad. Remi, it's Harvard.

You're going. End of discussion. Guys, it's just a gap year.

She can re-enroll when she gets back.

Oh!

Re-enroll? Mm. She can re-enroll?

Hmm.

Just re-enroll? What do you think this is, man?

It's Harvard. Hey!

Relax, all right? It's just for one year. Baby, that's how it starts.

Did Barnes force you into this? No.

Barnes doesn't force me to do anything. But he came up with it, right?

No, I had heard of this project years ago,

and I've been thinking about it ever since.

Ah. Is that what he told you to say, huh?

No! Stop trying to pin this on him.

Stop. All right, this is my decision.

This is something that I want... Remi, we're trying to protect you.

That's our job, is to protect you from throwing away your future,

for what?

For some aimless loser?

It's already decided. I'm going.

First, it's Costa Rica, right?

Then it's Australia, and then the next thing you know,

you're getting arrested for muling in a Bangkok airport

and spending life in a Thai prison.

Muling? Have you even thought this through?

What you just said has no relevance.

You have never mentioned this to me.

We've never talked...

Dad!

Stop! What are you... What are you doing? What am I doing?

I am destroying something of value for absolutely no reason.

Yeah, you're acting like a child. Exactly.

Says the little girl who wants to trade in her future at Harvard

to go play with turtles!

You guys are crazy.

Where do you think you're going? I'm going to the lake!

You're not going anywhere. You're grounded.

Okay.

Yeah.

Hmm. You want some gummy bears?

I love these little shits. I'll take a gummy bear.

Yeah? Yeah.

Oh, shit. I'm running out of the blue ones.

Okay. Why?

I'm sorry about your parents earlier. I should have listened to you.

No, I think you were right, you know?

It's probably better to rip the Band-Aid off.

You sure? Mm-hmm.

Because that was, like, pretty intense. I know.

I'm pretty sure my dad always hated my grandma's china.

that we were going on a trip in the fall, so...

Remi's not going to college? She is, just not this year.

Ah...

Wow.

Why is that so crazy?

This is the girl that's been ready to go to college

since, like, the fifth grade, you know? I know.

Sheryl's out of limes, so I'm going to run to the store.

Do you guys want anything?

Oh! Could you get me some gummy bears?

Gummy bears. Thank you.

What?

What you doing? Going to go get limes.

We're out. Limes?

You can't have margaritas without limes.

You've been drinking and smoking.

I've barely had like two hits. And three margaritas.

Are you counting my drinks now?

What? You shouldn't drive.

Stop. No. Hey.

I'm gonna be gone for like ten minutes. Okay, then I'll come with you.

No, because I don't need a babysitter. I think you do, actually.

Okay, if I wanted to hang out with my parents all day,

I would have just stayed home. Who even are you right now?

Really?

I'm a girl who's doing whatever the fuck she wants

for the first time in her life.

Go ahead. Go drive and get limes.

Shit. Stop the car!

Remi!

Jesus Christ, Remi!

Remi!

- No way! - I told you not to park in the driveway!

Oh!

This is sick. This is awesome. Hey, hey. Stop filming her.

Bro, no way. Stop filming her, dude.

Hey, Remi!

Where are you going? Stop!

Stop what? Where are you going? Leave me alone!

Are you okay?

That was insane. You're acting kind of crazy right now.

I told you that it wasn't time to tell them!

What? You didn't listen!

You didn't listen to me, and then look at what happened!

What are you talking about right now?

How is that my fault? Because... I...

I never should've gotten on that fucking train!

Okay. Okay. It's okay. I never... Stop, stop, stop!

I... I have a future!

What is that supposed to mean?

I have things that I want to do in my life!

Things that matter! And I don't?

I thought that our future was supposed to be together.

Yeah, so did I.

What do you mean, "did"? What are you saying?

You know, maybe I didn't want to tell my parents about...

Costa Rica because, deep down, I always knew that this was gonna happen.

I'm going to Harvard in the fall.

Okay, okay, you're drunk. I'm not drunk!

I'm really sorry. I...

Seth told me not to talk about that stuff with the talent

because he said it always backfires

and assistants shouldn't have opinions,

and, you know, even if a compliment is really good,

it might not be taken that way by the artist,

you know, so it's better to just shut up.

Seth's a smart guy.

Off the record though, I really liked it.

I thought it was, like, soulful and...

it sounded familiar, but it's also,

I don't know, it's really fresh and original, you know?

It's definitely gonna be stuck in my head all day, so...

So, do you.

There's a coffee cart over there, in the quad.

Whoa!

Remi Aguilar, are you stalking me on social media?

No!

Okay. No.

Interesting. I don't even know why that's the...

No, I mean, your pictures come up sometimes... randomly.

Right. Yeah, I... I would not say stalking.

Stalker adjacent.

So?

Um.

No, I'm not following them around. I actually work for them.

Or, technically, I work for the record company.

A record company? Yeah.

That's pretty cool.

It's like a, just a small little indie label,

and I'm the assistant to one of the VPs,

so he's got me set up with this group on their first solo tour.

That's amazing.

You're gonna be the next Jimmy Iovine or David Geffen.

Yeah. No, totally.

I'm... fetching people's lunches all day

and hosing out the tour bus.

It's very glamorous. Yeah, you love it.

Hey, how's PJ?

He's good.

He's... still with Ashley. Really?

Mm-hmm.

I was not expecting that one. Yeah, I don't think anybody was.

What about Jav and Carmen? They good?

Other than relieved I'm out of your life?

I wouldn't say that.

Hmm.

I mean, yeah, they were happy the first month, and...

Then I don't know.

I think that they kinda saw me start to spiral over the summer,

and then... by August, my dad was threatening to text you.

I find that hard to believe. It's true.

You know, my parents are a lot, but they just want me to be happy.

You really spiraled?

You broke up with me.

Yeah, but that doesn't make it suck any less.

You know, I was seeing you every day,

and then we weren't even talking.

It's like... you were my best friend, and then you were gone.

Yeah.

Well, it sucked for me too.

Tell me more about Harvard.

Ah.

All right. Yeah, man.

Do you want the truth?

Yes, I want the truth of the Harvard experience.

It is the most exhausting,

difficult experience I've ever had in my entire life,

and I love it.

The... the classes are interesting, the people.

My roommate... my roommate is this super cool chick from L.A.

She has the body of a lingerie model and the brains of Bobby Fischer.

I've never seen anything like it. You got a little crush on her?

Definitely, but in a... in a friendly way.

In a friendly way? Yeah.

Man, what does that mean?

Everybody's supposed to fall in love with their roommate in college,

and, you know, experiment or whatever.

No, I'm still into boys,

if that's what you're trying to get at.

It's none of my business. Mm, I mean, it's fine because...

Well, if I want to keep being honest, actually...

All right, this is where I live. It's very... very collegiate.

Yeah. We're on the top floor too so we've got a nice view of... something.

I bet.

My roommate is throwing this pre-game thing for a Halloween party.

You wanna come?

Um.

I think I gotta... gotta head out.

The band's going on early tonight, so. Oh, of course. Uh.

No problem.

I thought this was going to be really weird,

seeing you today...

but I'm... glad we can just be friends like this.

Yeah. Me too.

You know what I mean?

Like, I feel like we made the right decision.

I'm very happy for you. You're clearly...

exactly where you're supposed to be in your life, and...

things are going good for me, and...

I feel like everything kind of worked out for the better.

Yeah.

Totally.

All right, well, I should go.

Sure.

All right.

Goodbye, Remi.

Goodbye, Barnes.

So, you blew it.

I did not blow it.

Then why didn't you tell him how you feel?

Because I don't know exactly how I feel.

I thought you said you were in love with him.

What do I know though?

You know, I... I didn't talk to him in months,

and maybe I was just thrown by seeing him again.

And he's right.

You know, we've been doing great apart, him especially. He's...

Maybe he's just better off without me?

Correlation does not imply causation.

She's right about that.Yeah.

What? Just because he thrived without you

doesn't mean he wouldn't thrive with you.

Stop. This isn't some mock trial. This is my life.

I hereby sentence you to getting off your ass

and telling Barnes you love him before he leaves town.

I can't. Why not? What do you have to lose?

she busted backstage, and she was crying,

and... and she told me she made this huge mistake,

because we love each other...

and that's all that matters.

Oh, my God, yeah. Shit.

Three, two, one...
