All language subtitles for The Carrie Diaries s02e12 This Is the Time.eng

Before there was sex,

before there was the city,
there was just me,

Carrie... Carrie Bradshaw
from Castlebury, Connecticut.

It's from N.Y.U.

- Aah! I got in!
- Oh, that's great!

I knew this was gonna be hard...
coming out.

- So what are you saying?
- I can't do this.

Mom? I wanna come home.

I think there's
a market out there

that hasn't been tapped into.

All based on skate culture.

I'm really excited
about this, Carrie.

I'd definitely consider
relocating back to Laguna.

You said you'd move.

I heard it.

I want you to know
my life is here.

I'm not leaving.

I know you wrote the parachute
pants piece for him.

I just... I really wanted
to help Bennet out.

Stop worrying about Bennet.
Think about yourself,

because this piece is going
in the Magazine under your name.

I just got fired.

Oh, my gosh.
Are you serious?

Oh, don't act so shocked,
Carrie.

What was I supposed to do?

Not stab me in the back.

It's a bigger desk.
Why don't you take it?

It was Bennet's.
I'd feel weird.

You did a good job.
You should own that.

It's Carrie Bradshaw from
�Interview� Magazine calling.

There are things you always
envision while growing up,

certain long-standing
traditions

like going dress shopping
for your senior prom.

What do you think?

Wow. You look gorgeous.

That... do we have a winner?

I don't think
it's formal enough.

Um, maybe something...
longer.

Yeah.

You know what?
It is too unform...

It's... it's not formal
enough.

Yeah.

I thought that, too.

Go long.

I thought I would be
doing this with my mom.

But sometimes,
things don't turn out

exactly how you imagined.

(Psychedelic Furs)

Which occasionally
is a really nice surprise.

Holy moly!

Mm. I always wondered what
10 grand in cash looks like.

Should we roll in it or something?
(Chuckles)

I can't believe we raised
this much extra money

for the Prom Committee.

You raised $6,000 of it?

How did you do that?

(ZZ Top)
She's got legs

What can I say?
People like a clean car.

- And your boobs.
- That, too.

What are we gonna do
with all this extra money?

Ooh! Maybe we could hire
one of those skywriting planes

and have �Class of '86�
scrawled over the Gold Iron Inn.

I scrawl �sucks�
over that idea.

Don't worry.

I can always think of a good way
to spend the dollars.

Wait. Wait, wait, wait.

Why do you have

the course catalog
from Columbia?

No reason.

Did you get into Columbia?

Maybe.

Are you smart?!

(Whispers) Be quiet!

(Whispering) You are!
You are smart!

(Normal voice) I knew there had
to be a reason why I liked you.

(Under breath) I don't want
anyone else to know. So zip it.

Why wouldn't you want people
to know you have a brain?

Because I want people
to know I have a bod.

Can't you have both?

Not and be Prom Queen.

People find out
I have geek in me,

it might blow up
all my hard work.

And I'm so close to my goal,

so just keep your trap shut.

Don't worry.

Your secret is safe with me.

(Sighs)

Nobody would believe me,
anyway.

(Laughs)

So, what's everyone
thinking for prom?

I got nothing.

Me either.

I'm going with Pete.

Aren't you going
with Sebastian?

Mm, can't.

My adorable hooligan
isn't allowed to step foot

into any school function
since he was expelled.

But we're still
gonna go, right?

With each other?

For sure! It's prom.
Our Senior Prom.

We have to go.

- Besides, I found a really great dress.
- Me, too.

Then it's settled.
We're going as a team.

Yay, team.

That sounds... fun.

It will be.
(Chuckles)

All of us together
before we head off

to our new lives at college.

It's our last hurrah.

Hurrah.

(Walt laughs)
So do you think Pete

will let us borrow you
for a dance or two?

Oh, I think he can deal.

And I want a dance
with each of my ladies.

(Maggie, Carrie, Mouse) Done!

Gold Iron Inn, here we come.

You can kiss my ass
whenever you want to begin.

Wow, that would be never.

Oh, you will change your mind
when you hear this.

You can all say good-bye to prom
at the sad, tired Gold Iron Inn

with its crappy food
and hideous carpeting.

I got the prom moved
to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

In Manhattan?

Okay, that is actually
ass-kiss worthy.

How did you manage that?
Th... it's so old-world glamour.

I used my amazing charm,
fantastic cleavage,

and our extra 10,000 bucks.

Oh, you're a genius.

You have no idea.

Wow. New York City,
here we come.

(Carrie) - Hurrah!
- Hurrah!

(Girls laugh)

(Mugs clink)

Hey! No P.D.A.

Why? You let me
hold your hand

in front of your dad sometimes.

Yeah, only to piss him off.

So you're only hooking up
with me to annoy your father?

Thanks a lot.

And maybe 'cause
you're a good kisser.

So let me kiss you now.

Not gonna happen.

So I was thinking of going
to the junior/senior prom.

(Scoffs) Of course you are.
Who you gonna take?

Um...

you?

See, this is why you're not
boyfriend material.

You are way too nice
and traditional.

Asking me to some
stupid school dance?

That's not my thing.

And if you really got me
and understood me,

- you would know that.
- I do know that.

I wanna go ironically.

I'll wear a hideous tux,
a ruffled shirt.

We can mock everyone.

Dance like spazzes,
spike the punch.

Can you get us
a white stretch limo?

Done. But you have to wear
poofy pink.

Only if your tie and cummerbund

match my hideously
poofy pink dress.

It's a deal.

I'd shake on it,

but I know you
don't like hands touching.

(Laughs)

Oh! And I want a corsage
the size of my head.

(Knock on door)

Hi, mom.

Wasn't expecting you.

I was in the neighborhood.

With a puppy.

Isn't it so cute?

Sure.

It's a gift...
for you from me.

Uh, I don't understand.
A gift? For what?

Can't a mother just wanna give
her son something special?

Giving someone a puppy
isn't really a gift.

It's kind of more of a burden.

A dog's a crazy responsibility.

Tell me about it.

It needs so much attention.

Keeps wanting to go out
all the time

and peeing on things
and whining.

So not really a gift.
More like a hand-me-down.

It was just so cute and Fluffy.

And then it got so big.

It just isn't happy
in our condo.

�It�?
Is �it� a boy or a girl?

And I-I'm not so sure
a city loft is gonna be

that much better for...

Him! (Laughs)

Oh, look how happy
he is with you.

I'm just too busy
to have a dog right now.

Lucas and I have so many
vacations planned.

I don't think I can
take this dog, mom.

I'm really swamped
with work stuff.

So you'd abandon
this sweet little thing?

I think that's what
you're doing.

That was hurtful.

I just know you're here
all by yourself,

and I want you
to have some companionship.

I don't want you to be alone.

Yeah. You'd never let
that happen.

Oh, come on.
You two practically match.

You have to keep him.

I'll just go get his things.
They're in the hall.

Carrie! Darling.

Ah, good morning.

No, it's a great morning
because I have fabulous news.

It took some convincing,
but I fought for you,

and now it's official.

You have a job
at �Interview� Magazine.

And you start immediately.

A summer job here?

No. All four seasons.

So it's a part-time job?

Full-time, darling.

But I'm going to N.Y.U.
In the fall.

Whatever for, Poppins?

To get an education
and a degree.

A degree is bollocks.

(Paper rustles) All these people have
applied for the job I just gave you.

And they just graduated
from Columbia or N.Y.U.

Or some other confusing jumble
of three letters.

Why waste four years
going to university

in order to get a job that
you've already been given?

And one I fought for you
to have, I might add.

And... and I'm honored
and thrilled you did that.

So why I haven't I heard
a resounding �yes� from you yet?

(Dog panting)
Oh. Ow.

So how long is this little mutt
supposed to be around?

It's just visiting, right?

It's a he. Ollie.

You already named him?

I-I can't just ditch him.

He's already been left once
by someone in my family.

Do you know how many times

he's going to have to go
to the bathroom?

You'll have to take him
out constantly.

I already am
taking him out constantly.

And because of that,

I am seeing a whole new side
of New York...

like garbage everywhere
and other people's dog poop.

And I'm pretty sure
people poop.

Oh, ew!
I'm eating here.

I just... it's kind of hard

now that I'm getting so busy
with work.

But it's going well, right?

Really well. I love it.

You do, don't you?

I feel like I've finally
found my thing,

like you have with writing.

So you think I should
take the job at �Interview�?

It's your dream job, right?

Yeah!

But I'm excited
about college, too.

You know, being on
the N.Y.U. Campus,

studying from big, dusty
old books at the library,

eating out late
with my roommates

while bonding over
the classics.

College is a rite of passage.

But maybe it's one
you don't need.

True.

But what about my dad?

Can you imagine
having to tell him

that I'm not going to college?

He would freak.

Yes, he would.
He's a traditional guy.

I just wish my dad
wasn't so focused

on how things should be.

Sometimes I wish
he was more like your parents.

That's a sentence
I never thought

- I'd hear in this lifetime.
- Oh, you know what I mean.

Just that you're finding
your own way in the world,

and they're okay with it.

They can see how doing things
a different way is all right.

For my dad, it's just
his way or no way.

(Door bells jingle)

I hear Carrie got you guys
a stretch limo for prom.

So glamorous.

(Mouth full) I'm not going.

What? Why?

Because prom is stupid.

Well, of course it is.
That's not a reason not to go.

It is tradition to mock it
and love it at the same time.

Just seems like more trouble
than it's worth now.

It's gonna take an hour
to get into the city, at least.

So... you're not going anymore
because it's in the city?

Maybe. I don't know.

I just haven't been back there
since I, you know,

broke up with Bennet.

I want that part of my life
to be in the past,

and going into the city
would make it in the present.

Well, if you're not going,
I'm not going.

- Then I guess you're not going.
- Hmm.

We made a pact freshman year
to be each other's prom dates,

no matter what, remember?

I was a foot taller
than you back then.

Yeah. A lot's changed.

Not how much I want
to go to prom with you.

Aren't you going with Pete?

Eh, you know what?
Not anymore.

I will tell him that
I need to go with a friend...

a friend that I made a promise
to a very long time ago.

He'll understand.

You would choose me over Pete?

Yeah.

So... you're going?

All right! I'll go.

Good.

But remember,
we're just going as friends.

Don't try anything.

That Saturday night,
i prepared for my senior prom.

(Exhales)

You look beautiful.

Aw, thanks, dad.

What I wasn't prepared for...

Move it on over!
Pink cupcake coming down.

Whoa.
How do I look?

So pretty.

- You really do.
- Ugh.

Aren't I every little girl's
princess dream?

I'm guessing you won't pose
for a photo?

Oh, I will.

(Camera clicks) All right.

(Dorrit laughs)

(Camera shutter clicks)

Later, losers.
I'm off to meet Scott.

Ah, right.
Have a good night.

(Door closes) Just what
I always dreamed of...

Dorrit at my prom.

(All) To us!

Whoo!

I am on record on saying
that you are crazy to consider,

even for a second,
not going to college.

I think you need college
on your resume.

Well, not if I'm writing
stories for �Interview.�

but what if that job
doesn't work out

and you don't have
a college degree?

Well, then you could be me.

I'm sure Pete has a cute friend.
We could be army wives.

(Mouse and Walt laugh)

(Sunroof whirring) Yeah, I kinda
can't see myself like that.

Can you see yourself like this?

Maggie!

(Maggie) Wa-hoo!

Prom, baby! Yeah!

Excuse me, sir.

Do you have any Grey Poupon?

If this was the way
the night was beginning...

- Whoo!

I couldn't imagine
how it might end.

As seniors,

prom is a traditional
rite of passage...

a time to get dressed up,
make memories...

(Falco's
�Rock Me Amadeus� playing)

And acknowledge
for just one moment

that you are at the top
of your high school game.

(Carrie) For us, it was
a celebration of friendship.

(Cyndi Lauper's
�Time After Time� playing)

I think our arms need
to be even stiffer.

Like this.

And we need even less rhythm.

This is actually fun.
(Laughs)

Oh, it's just the beginning.
Next up?

Hideous pictures
and punch spiking.

I like the way you think.

I'm so glad
we're all here together.

Me, too.

And you're not too bummed

that you're not here
with Sebastian?

Well, it would've been nice
to see him in a tux.

He'd be so handsome in a tux.
(Chuckles)

But it wasn't meant to be,
I guess.

You okay?

Of course.
Why wouldn't I be?

I just thought maybe
a part of you

wants to be dancing
with Bennet.

No. That part of my life
is o-v-e-r.

Actually, I wanted
to talk to you about him.

I don't really want to, Carrie.

Well, I've been trying to figure
out a way to tell you this

but, uh, Bennet was fired from
�Interview� a few weeks ago.

I'm sorry he lost his job,

but Bennet is not
my problem anymore.

The thing is, the job
Larissa offered me? It was his.

Good for you.

I guess.
I feel so guilty.

Even though Bennet
was out partying all the time,

I did not want him
to lose his job.

He was partying?
Like... with other guys?

(Inhales deeply)
You know what? I don't care.

Well, it kinda seems like
you do care.

I know how you must feel, Walt.

It's tough to be
at a party like this

and not be with
the person you love.

I know you're trying, Carrie,

but you don't know anything
about what I'm going through.

Well, I know you're struggling
with stuff, and I am, too.

I understand how hard it is

to want to make
your parents happy.

I'm going through
the same thing with my dad,

trying to figure out
if I should go to college

- or take the job.
- Are you kidding me?

Are you really comparing
your situation with mine?

Boo-hoo, you don't get
to dance with

your amazing boyfriend at prom

when you have a lifetime
to dance with him.

And boo-hoo, your dad might be
mad at you for a minute

if you don't go to college.

We both know that in five years
you'll be married with kids

living in the suburbs,
and none of this will matter,

while I, on the other hand...

I have to keep living a lie
so that the world accepts me.

Shane, buddy, these designs
you did are amazing.

But I wish I'd been there
to help you present 'em.

I know, dude.

We're partners and it sucks
you can't be around

when we're digging
into the creative.

I know. The time difference
thing is rough.

I'm gonna miss the vendor
meeting next week, too, huh?

Unless you can come out
to Cali, yeah.

It's nonstop out there.
This is getting real.

I think we need some more
office space,

because my parents' garage
is not hacking it anymore.

We can get someplace small.
Maybe in Malibu?

A view of the break
at surfrider?

I miss that.

The one thing I really liked
about my time there with my dad,

the sound of the ocean.

So come back out, man,

even if it's just
for the summer.

Be hands on,
see your investment grow.

We do get more done working
face-to-face in an hour

than a week's worth
of phone calls.

Right on. And you need to be
living the lifestyle

in order to sell it.

The thing is,
I have Carrie here.

Then she can come, too.

I could totally see
that little Betty on a board.

(Sighs loudly)

One more coat
of frosted lip gloss,

and I'll be ready

for the inevitable announcement
that I'm prom queen.

You don't exactly
look like a prom queen-to-be.

I don't? Why?
Is a boob uneven?

No, I mean...

You don't look happy.

Oh, that. It's just,
my date is Pendleton.

Not exactly queen consort
material.

Didn't you get asked

by every captain
of every sports team?

Including girls softball?

Yeah, but I've dated everyone
important already.

I don't do repeats.
So Pendleton it is.

I need a new batch of men.

Which you will have
at Columbia.

Shh!

Someone might hear you.

(Sighs) God forbid someone knows
you're a brainiac.

Look, I worked really hard
pretending to be dumb

so I could be prom queen.

And so I wouldn't end up
in classes with losers

and pasty social rejects.

The way I played it,

I ended up in classes
with jocks and pretty boys.

Just the men I wanted to date.

You're kind of an evil genius.

Yes, I am.

And because everyone
I hang out with are dummies,

they never figured it out.

(Sighs)
Those Jens are such Ding-Dongs!

(Laughs)

Mm? You coming to see
my big moment?

Did she just
call us Ding-Dongs?

Ding-dong.
That bitch is dead.

(�Etude in A-Flat Major, Op. 8,
No. 8� playing)

I always wanted that...
here at this hotel.

A traditional wedding
with a cake and a band.

(Chuckles)

Which is why
I didn't wanna come here.

Yet another reminder
of what I can't have.

Maybe you can't have
the wedding,

but you can have
authentic love.

You already did have it
with Bennet.

And you shouldn't
have to choose

between that and your parents.

You deserve both.

But this... life...

Being gay?

I don't know
if I can handle it.

It's not fair, Walt...

that people don't wanna
recognize your relationship

because it doesn't look like
what they know.

It sucks.

But is it gonna be
any easier for you

to deny who you are
and hide from your feelings?

Real connections?

I'll be right back.
Okay?

Where are you going?

To be... authentic.

Prom...

Short for the word �promenade,�

a tradition when couples
walk into a ballroom,

two by two.

But that wasn't my prom.

It was just me...

And my ex-boyfriend.

Hi and... bye.

Carrie, wait, uh, please.

Look, I've been...
I've been practicing

what I wanted to say to you

if I ever got to see you again,
but... (Blows lips)

Please, let me... let me
have a do-over.

Um... (Clears throat)

Hi.

Hi.

My apology is gonna be
really long,

do you... do you wanna sit?

I'm fine standing.

Don't say I didn't warn you.
(Chuckles)

By the way, why are you here
dressed as a vision?

I'm here for my prom.

Ah.

And, um, who are you here with?

It's a long story,
but I'm here with friends.

So, no boyfriend?

That's part of the long story.

Uh, no boyfriend here,
but I am back with Sebastian.

I-I assumed as much.

But boyfriend or no boyfriend,
I-I need you to know,

that play that I said
I was writing about you,

I never wrote it.

I was never even planning
on writing it.

I just said it...
I just said it to hurt you.

Because selfishly,
I wanted you to feel

what I was feeling.

It's no excuse, but I...

I lashed out because...

I've never been so hurt before.

Wow.

That was a really good apology.

So the practiced part
I'm done with.

Wanting to talk to you?

Never.

You always were wonderful
with words.

So prom, huh?

Yeah.

The school year's
pretty much over.

Oh, yeah, where'd you
decide to go to college?

Um, N.Y.U., I think.

But I thought... I thought it was
your first choice?

It was, but then Larissa
offered me a job

at �Interview� Magazine.

That's fantastic.
When do you start?

Uh, well, I-I don't think
I'm gonna take it.

I feel like I need
to go to college.

You're a writer.
You don't need school.

You... you need
life experiences.

To walk down the streets

of this amazing
and beautiful city

and take it all in.

Hey.

I'm... I'm so happy
you called.

I'm... so happy
you came.

How are you?

Good... actually.
Really good.

Good.

How are you?

Okay.

It's been...
a hard few months.

I'm sorry, Walt.

Me, too.

And everything's really
okay with you?

I was worried because
I heard you got fired.

And were maybe...
partying a lot.

Carrie told you I, uh, went off
the deep end a bit, huh?

She did.

And she feels terrible
about getting you fired.

Actually, it was
the best thing for me.

I realized I didn't even wanna
be at �Interview� anymore.

It was just something
I fell into.

I... (Scoffs)
I wasn't even enjoying it.

And since then, I found what

I really wanna be doing
with my life.

What? Ascot model?

(Chuckles) There's always that.

No, I started volunteering
at gay men's health crisis,

and a job opened up
a few weeks ago.

I'm now working there
full-time.

That's great.

I've missed you.

Not as much as I've missed you.

Well, I should, um,
get back in there.

Yeah, and I should probably get
back to drinks with my producer.

Probably thinks I got lost
in the bathroom.

(Chuckles) (Chuckles)

Take the job.

You were born to write.

Thank you.

It's really good
to see you, Carrie.

Yeah, it was good
to see you, too.

(Kisses)

(Woman)
There was a time

Bennet, I am so sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

No, I'm the sorriest!
(Laughing)

Hey, where have you guys been?

You totally bailed on me.

So much for choosing
your friends over a guy.

(Both) We're sorry.

Eh, it's okay.

Dorrit gave me spiked punch.

I am a terrible date,
Maggie, really.

But I have... (Singsongy)
Someone I want you to meet.

This is my boyfriend, Bennet.

Oh, my God.
Oh, my God!

Oh!
Finally I get to meet you.

I'm the ex-girlfriend,
you know.

Oh, I know.

You really do have
legs up to here.

Walt said that?

Punch?

Oh, I think we're gonna get
along just fine. (Giggles)

(Man, amplified voice)
Gather around as we crown

our queen of queens.

- Oh! Let's go watch Donna's coronation.
- Yay.

Your Class of 1986 Prom Queen is...
(Fanfare playing)

Donna Ladonna!

(Cheering)

Give me that tiara!
(Microphone feedback)

What?!
Secret nerd!

What are you doing?
Don't mess with the hair.

You don't get to be prom queen
based on a lie.

What the hell is going on?

Did you know that she is smart?

(Crowd gasping and murmuring)

She isn't one of us.
She got into Columbia.

- That cannot be true.
- All this time she acted like

she was interested in partying
and being cool,

she was actually laughing at us
behind our backs.

And studying!

I wasn't. I swear.
I just got lucky on a few tests.

Okay, that is it.

(Girl gasps)

(Amplified voice)
It is a sad state of affairs

that smart people,

especially
beautiful young women,

are made to feel ashamed
of their intellectual prowess

when they should be celebrated!

(Under breath) What is Mouse doing?
(Mouse continues speaking indistinctly)

- She's destroying Donna...
- By accident.

Did Mouse just say
�Sandra Day O'Connor�?

Sit down, nerd!
(Laughter)

We need to do something
to help Donna,

because she helped me
when I was almost outed.

Okay. That's it.

I'm gonna go butch.

What are you talking about?
Nobody will believe that.

Hey!

Nobody messes with my girl.

Who are you?

And I stand corrected.

I'm a senior at U.N.L.V.,
that's who.

And Donna's my, uh,
my broad. My dame.

(Laughs) Oh, God. It's like
he's in �Guys And Dolls�"

wait a minute.

Who's this college guy?
I thought I was your date.

Y-you are.

Well, then, back off, buddy.

Oh. (Whispers) Right.

Thank you.

(Amplified voice) Donna...

I-I don't care
that you're smart

or if you study

or if you got into some
fancy college.

You still have the sweetest rack...
(Crowd murmuring and laughing)

in the entire school.

And that is the only thing
that matters.

Donna...

This is for you.

Pendy, that is the sweetest
thing anyone's ever said to me.

Oh!

(Applause)

I give up.
Somebody punch me.

(Laughs)

(Amplified voice) People...

My subjects,

thank you for this
greatly deserved honor.

(Sighs deeply)

As Christie Brinkley's husband
sang,

this is the time to remember.

And by that I mean,
remember this.

Did she just quote Billy Joel?

Yes. And she's not wrong.
This is the time to remember.

(Glasses clink)

It certainly is.

(Glasses clinking) Cheers.

This wasn't the most
traditional way to go,

but it was the prom
we were meant to have.

(Billy Joel)

And as I went out
to find my limo,

I ended up finding my date.

What's a bad boy like you
doing outside a place like this?

Thought you might want
an escort home.

(Giggles)

Now that I see
how beautiful you look,

I'm even more sorry that
I couldn't be here with you.

You look kind of beautiful,
yourself.

This old thing?

Yeah, everything else
was dirty.

(Laughs)

So tell me everything.
How was your night?

Very eventful.
For all of us.

I decided to take
the job at �Interview.�

Yeah? Good.
That's awesome.

Yeah, it is.
It's awesome. (Chuckles)

You seem totally confident
about your decision.

What made you see things
so clearly?

I guess I just needed
more time to think about it.

And then all my thoughts
came together.

That's great, Bradshaw.

The scary part now is,
how am I gonna tell my dad?

Well, let's worry
about that tomorrow.

For now, let's just walk.

The two of us,
like a promenade.

So how was prom?

(Gasps) Oh. Hi.
You... you scared me.

Um, it was great.
Yeah, it was a great night.

Time to remember, really.

Mm, like that Billy Joel song.

Exactly.

Is everything okay?

Um...

Dad, we need to talk.

While I was about
to tell my father

about my new job in the city,

Sebastian was trying
to figure out

if he could stay in it.

(Ollie barks)

(Sighs)

Hey! Excuse me.
It's after 9:00 A.M.

Your dog shouldn't
be off leash.

And while one man
was trying to find his freedom,

another was escaping
his own prison.

How was the prom, dear?

- It was fun.
- Wonderful.

Those traditions
are such important ones.

Yeah, they are.

But... they're not the only
things that are important.

Like being true to one's self.

Can you stop reading
your papers, please?

Here's the thing...

I've been living the way
you want me to live

the last three months,

and I've been dying inside.

Walt, don't be dramatic.

I haven't even had
my second cup of coffee.

I'm not being dramatic.

I'm being me.

(Cup clatters)

I can't keep pretending
to be someone I'm not.

I'm gay.

If you can't accept that,
I understand.

I also understand
if you'd like me to move out.

It's your house,
so it's up to you.

But... how I live my life
is up to me.

You can go back
to your papers now.

So...
let me understand this.

You are throwing away college,
throwing away your future,

so that you can take some job
at �Interview� Magazine?

I'm not throwing away
my future.

My future is writing.

I'm just getting there
sooner than we had planned.

Why are you in such a hurry?

Dad,
this is a huge opportunity.

People with college degrees
on their r?sum?s

are trying to get the job
that I was offered.

What about the next job?

What will you tell
those employers

when they ask you
where you went to college?

Well, I'll tell them
I started working instead,

that I got
real world experience.

Ah, but college sets you up
to be able to handle

that real world experience.

And the fact that you are being
so impetuous and irresponsible

tells me you're not even
close to being ready.

You're still just a kid.

I'm 18, dad.

Well, oh, then you must
have all the answers.

So let me ask you this,

do you plan to continue to still
be on my health insurance?

Or does your job
provide benefits?

What's your salary?
You get overtime?

I-I don't know about
any of those things yet.

Okay, all right.

Uh, do you even
have a contract?

Can you get fired
without severance?

And if you do,
what will you do then?

Well, I don't know,
but I guess I'll figure it out.

What do you know?!

I know that
I've made up my mind.

I'm taking the job!

I've allowed you to have
everything that you wanted...

The internship at the Magazine,

the classes
at the new school, N.Y.U.

And I appreciate all that.

Then why are you
doing this to me?!

This isn't about you.

This is about me,
and I am not you.

I never have been.

We don't want
the same things for me.

All I want for you
is to be safe and stable

and to have opportunites

and you are throwing it
all away on a whim.

Well, I'm sorry you feel that way, dad.
I really am.

But not sorry enough
that you'll go to college?

No.

You wanna be an adult?

Great. Be an adult.

No more credit cards from me.

You don't come home
to do your laundry.

No more allowance.
No more buying you clothing.

I will not subsidize your life
unless you are going to college.

You will be on your own.

Got it?

(Sighs)

I'm all yours.

I'm taking the job.

Oh, how delightful!
Carrie, I am thrilled.

Yeah, me, too.

Um, I just have
a couple questions

about my salary
and insurance and stuff.

Oh, darling.

Human resources deals with
l those boring details.

You'll have to pop down
and speak to someone there.

Right now the most important
thing for me to do

is to go and find some
champagne so we can celebrate!

(Chuckles)

I had officially entered

the grown-up world
of publishing,

where champagne was the answer
to all my questions.

(School bell rings)

(Boy) Yeah! Pendy!

Look at this photo.

I think we have a real shot

at being in the yearbook
next year.

Wait, you're being serious?

You really like
that photo of us?

How could I not?
Look at that smile.

I'm sorry, so the whole time
we were hating the prom,

you were actually loving it.

Was the whole making fun
of it thing

just a way to get me
to go with you?

Yeah.

Why would you do that?

Because you've been
jerking me around for months,

using me to get back
at your dad.

But I like you, Dorrit.

A lot.

And I wanted to go
to my junior prom with you.

So, yeah.
I tricked you.

And by the way,
I know you had fun.

So don't even try to deny it.

But what you did was
so devious and manipulative.

Can't believe you would
have the gall

to trick me like that.

Oh, I have huge gall.

And you should remember that.

You're a little bit of a snake.

Maybe you're not too nice
for me, after all.

Maybe you're actually
kind of worthy of me.

Smart girl
for finally seeing that.

P.D.A.? Really? I don't know.
Someone might see.

Shut up and be
my boyfriend already.

Don't worry.
I'm almost finished packing.

You won't have to force me out.

No, no, no. I'm... I'm... I'm not
here to tell you to leave.

(Sighs)

Look, I just always thought
that you'd...

you'd follow tradition.

You'd go to Dartmouth,
you'd join my fraternity,

but I heard you.

Your life is...
it's your life.

It won't look like my life,
but... I get that.

I want you to have this ring,

even if you decide
not to go to Dartmouth.

Because you're my legacy,

and I'm proud of that.

Thank you.

(Woman)

Now... let me help you
unpack this stuff, yeah?

(Pats shoulder)

Sometimes you can
break free from tradition

and live the life you want...
by staying put.

And other times,
in order to find the right

kind of life for yourself,
you have to leave.

So what made you
change your mind?

I don't know.

I guess I just saw Carrie
go for it and I realized,

what am I doing?
It shouldn't even be a question.

- I need to follow my dreams, too.
- That's right.

I'm going to California.

And I'm gonna tell Carrie today

so she can make some plans
to come visit.

She's gonna love it.

Yeah, I hope so.

(Clink)
'cause we won't,
although we'll want to

I'm sorry.

It sounds like it got
pretty intense

between you and your dad.

Yeah, it did.

(Barks)
Hey! Come on, Ollie. No.

You sure you wanna keep him?

This dog and the city
don't go together.

The city doesn't go
with a lot of things,

but I'm sure I'm keeping him.

Well, he is cute.

And it's nice to be able
to walk with you,

have you by my side.

Same.

(Chuckles)

I hope it doesn't scare you,
how much I need you.

What are you talking about?

I feel like you're all I have.

That's crazy.

You... you have your friends,
your family.

My friends are all
heading off to college.

And my dad...
you should've seen him.

He basically cut me out...

for good.

I know your dad.
He'll come around.

I'm not so sure this time.

Hey, it'll be okay,
one way or the other.

I promise.

If you weren't here,
I don't know what I'd do.

Thank you for being here
for me.

Hey, of course.
Always.
