(bell ringing)

>> Do you know where sixth grade science is located?

>> There are three science class.

You have to find the room 106.

>> Which way is 106?

>> You want to go down this hallway,

on the third classroom on your left side.

>> Thank you.

>> Do you know where room 106 is?

>> I'm going there too, you can follow me.

>> Thanks.

>> I'm Jack. >> Matt Collins.

>> Did you go to Fosters Elementary?

>> No.

>> Didn't think you looked familiar.

>> Thanks for all your help.

>> Middle school is survival of the fittest

and in sixth grade, we're minnows.

>> I guess that's why they call it a school.

>> We'll need to work on your humor.

>> Jack, over here.

I was hoping we'd have the same lunch period.

>> Really?

>> Well you're kind of the only person I know.

>> Yeah, it's hard when you didn't go to the same

elementary school as everyone else.

Even still, a lot of my old friends didn't seem

to come to this school.

>> You got any good classes yet?

>> I have fifth period of writing class,

that seems promising, you?

>> I have introduction to team sports first period.

That's kind of cool.

>> What a way to start the day.

You into team sports?

>> Mostly basketball and soccer but yeah,

it's always been my thing.

>> Jack: I like basketball too, you any good.

>> Pretty good.

>> You up for a challenge?

I got a pro side supe last summer if you're game.

>> If I'm game?

We need to work on your puns.

>> Three to five, my ball.

(gentle orchestral music)

(kids murmuring)

>> Look out below!

(laughing)

(suspenseful music)

>> Girl: You dropped me and I broke.

(murmuring)

Come play with me.

>> Woman: I wanna leave this house.

(screaming)

>> Woman: It's not the house that's haunted.

(bell ringing)

>> Hey. >> Hey.

Did you see last night's game?

>> Which one?

>> Portugal versus England.

>> Yeah, no, I missed it.

>> It was no competition.

They were so outmatched, it wasn't even a game.

It was a death sentence.

>> Sorry I missed it.

>> In other soccer news, guess who made first string offense?

>> No freaking way, you did not.

>> Yeah, coach told me during class today.

He said starting next game, first string striker.

>> Congrats, man, I knew it was a matter of time

before you made first string offense.

>> First string all the way, bro.

>> Bro, you've always been first string.

It just took Coach Reynolds some time to figure it out.

But hey, after school, let's celebrate.

>> I can't, I got practice after school.

But you should come and check me out.

>> Yeah, I'm there, man.

>> I gotta get to class.

>> Hey Jennifer. >> Hey.

>> Hey so what's the geography test like?

>> Jack: 25 multiple choice, seven math questions,

and there's three essays.

>> Damn essays.

>> Jack: It's nothing we didn't study for last night.

You got this, Matt.

>> I offered to study with you last night.

>> I didn't wanna occupy your time.

Jack has Mr. Grer too so I figured we'd study together.

>> This was a way for us to spend more time together.

>> I'll ask you next time.

You still coming to practice today?

>> Yeah, I wanna see my soccer star in action.

(students shouting)

>> Hey it's great Matt finally made first string.

>> Yeah.

>> He worked really hard for it.

It's great it finally paid off.

Look, I'm sorry about the whole studying thing.

>> I'm used to it.

I'm tired of it,

but I'm used to it.

(whistle blowing)

>> Bro, you were amazing out there, you're unstoppable.

>> Almost unstoppable, I have to tighten up my defense.

Where's Jennifer?

>> She had to go, she said she'd call you though.

>> Hey I'm gonna take a swim to cool down.

You wanna come over?

You could probably stay for spaghetti.

>> Well if there's gonna be spaghetti.

(coughing)

You may be the champ on land,

but I'm the king of the water.

>> Holding your breath doesn't make you King Neptune.

>> King Neptune? >> The king of the water.

>> I would've gone Poseidon.

>> Really, well let's see how long you hold your breath.

>> The king needs to breathe.

>> The king of the ocean would have gills.

(mumbles) kingdom, King Poseidon.

(gentle music)

>> I need to go.

>> What about dinner?

>> I'm sorry.

>> Matt: It's not a bad thing to fall in love.

>> Matt, we need to talk, it's about why I left last night.

Matt, sorry for being so weird last night.

I can explain.

Matt, what if I told you,

what if I told you that you and I--

>> You okay?

>> Yeah.

>> Peter: You were mumbling to yourself.

Is something bothering you?

>> No, well it's just a little problem.

Possible problem between a friend and I, it's complicated.

Kind of.

>> I get it, friendships can be complicated, I know.

Well actually I don't know, I don't have many friends.

I'm Peter.

Gallagher.

>> Clear off your desks except

for your unit three study guide.

>> Peter: By the way.

>> Hey. >> Hey.

>> Is everything all right? >> Yeah.

>> Okay, you left in kind of a hurry last night.

I thought maybe I did something.

>> It's cool, I'd rather not talk about it.

>> But we're good? >> Yeah.

>> Okay (mumbles).

I forgot to do my AP bio homework.

>> Jack: I got some notes if you want.

>> Teacher: With five golf balls sold in a canister,

and golf tees sold 12 to a bag.

We need an even number of canisters and bags

a one to one ratio.

Of tees for each golf ball purchase.

>> Are you gonna try and block me?

>> I can block you from here.

>> Matt: You wanna move closer?

>> Strangely I do.

I'm good.

(people muttering)

>> Matt: Jack, Jack!

Your ball.

>> You men, should I remind you that placing wet clothing

on top of the drawer will not dry them?

Must I explain how the drier works?

You're very quiet this morning.

>> Yeah, what's wrong, you okay?

>> I'm not sure, I think I'm starting

to feel something for someone

I've never felt this way towards.

>> Young love can be so confusing.

>> I didn't say it was love.

>> Do they feel the same way about you?

>> I don't know, I didn't ask them.

>> So then how else are you supposed to know

if you don't ask them?

>> They may surprise you when you tell them how you feel.

>> That's my concern, it's going to be a surprise.

(gentle music)

>> Hey, Jack, right?

>> Yeah.

>> Need a place to sit?

>> Nah, I have my own table, thanks.

>> Claire found out that the guy that she likes,

likes her too and now everybody (mumbles) Claire

is mad at Claire and me which makes no sense

because she didn't even know he had a girlfriend.

>> Girls are confusing and petty.

>> Watch it.

>> What's with you?

>> Nothing.

>> Hey so Hell Has No Fury is coming out finally

this weekend, you wanna go see it?

>> Sure, but I'm sure Jennifer would like to see it more.

>> Thanks for the afterthought but I'm not into that garbage.

>> She doesn't like horror movies.

She finds them grotestic and dribble?

>> Drivel, drivel.

>> The point is she doesn't like them

whereas you and I love them.

Jack and I have seen every horror film made

since we were 12.

>> Yeah he calls us horror buddies.

>> We're horror buddies.

>> It just means you're as equally warped.

>> It's why we're best friends.

>> Mrs. McKay: You feeling any better

after our discussion this morning?

>> Not really, it's complicated.

I thought I would ignore how I felt,

yet I think about it all the time.

But I can't tell him that.

>> Jack, romantic feelings are new for you.

There's no reason to rush into anything.

Make a note in other ways you have feelings for them.

Then wait and see if they show those feelings back.

>> Well if they don't, I'll feel like a fool

or worse, it could end the friendship.

>> Or your honesty can make it stronger.

>> It's pretty strong right now.

>> You know, I didn't know you had any other friends besides,

wait a minute, who are we talking about here?

>> Matt. >> Matt?

That's ridiculous.

>> I don't know what it is.

>> You know what?

It'll ruin your friendship.

>> Not necessarily, Jack, you and Matt have been friends

for a long time, but this is your first feelings of love.

It's natural you're confusing it with someone

you're so close with.

>> Your mother's right, friendship is a bond

that you're misunderstanding as love.

>> It would be better to wait and see

what these new feelings really are.

>> You can't tell this boy you're in love with him.

'Cause you're gonna scare him away.

>> We need to be prepared--

>> I don't wanna hear it.

(birds chirping)

What the hell is this?

Put your shirts back on!

>> I'm sorry about that.

He's worried about skin cancer.

What was that out there?

>> Mr. McKay: What was that?

What's he doing shirtless?

>> We've always played like that, it gets hot out there.

>> Guess what, things are different now, aren't they?

>> I don't know.

>> I do.

I don't need you displaying your boy toy

in front of the whole neighborhood.

>> My what? >> Your boy toy.

I'm assuming you haven't told him how you feel

'cause if not, he wouldn't be shirtless out there.

>> I don't know how I feel yet.

>> I do, and without telling him,

you give him no chances against

your unwanted sexual advances.

>> I'm not some kind of predator.

>> I don't agree.

You keep sexualizing him without him knowing.

It's what you people do.

>> I forgot, is it all right if we meet you

at the theater tonight?

Jennifer thought it'd be a good idea

for us to have dinner first before meeting up with you.

>> Yeah, that's cool.

What, you changed your mind about Hell Has No fury?

>> No, she's gonna see something less scary.

>> I don't mind being scared, I like thrillers.

Thrillers are much scarier than horror.

>> How so?

>> Thrillers, you don't see the scare coming.

With horror it's so predictable.

You know the victim's gonna fall as they run away.

You know the killer's eventually gonna catch them.

And you know that the killer is never really dead

even after being shot like a zillion things.

You can't be scared if you know what's coming.

>> She's right.

>> Matt: So Jack, is that all right with you?

>> Yeah, it's fine.

You guys go ahead and have dinner, we'll meet up after.

Do you guys know where you're going?

>> I wanted tacos but she wants a waitress.

>> I don't wanna eat dinner out of a paper bag.

>> So no, we don't.

(bell ringing)

>> Hey.

>> Matt: Hey.

>> Whoa.

That shirt looks amazing on you.

>> Thanks, man, Jennifer picked it out.

>> Yeah, I picked it out.

>> Cool, all right, let's go.

(movie actor muttering)

>> That's my hand.

>> Jack: Oh I'm so sorry.

I'll get more.

>> Boy: Thanks, man.

>> Another large popcorn please.

>> Man: Coming right up.

>> Jennifer. >> What?

>> What the hell is this?

>> This is two friends going to the movies.

>> What's up, bro?

>> She has a boyfriend, bro.

>> Boy: I know.

>> Oh you remember he's my boyfriend.

>> What's that supposed to mean?

>> I know what's going on with you.

>> We need to get the seats.

>> Why don't you go back to your date, Jack?

He might miss you.

>> Man: What's the matter, afraid of the dark?

>> Child: No, afraid of what's in the dark.

(movie actor muttering)

(child actor screaming)

(movie actor muttering)

(jazz music)

>> Opening game, court side.

(upbeat music)

Man, your back is so strong.

I wish I had a body as great as yours.

Hey, how do you feel when I say those things to you?

>> It's cool, I'm lucky I guess.

Look at this body, I mean.

>> Practice like you play!

Hustle, Matt!

Good boy!

>> All right, Matt, all right, awesome shot!

>> Enough, you two.

Don't make me get the hose.

>> So coach had us running multiple laps

and it was the biggest pain--

>> Hey so I know how much you love brownies,

so I got you one.

>> Matt: Thanks, man.

>> Matt, are you all right?

>> I think it popped.

>> All right.

(tense music)

Oh my god, I did not just see that ending.

>> Didn't I tell you?

>> I guess there is something with that (mumbles) thing.

>> If you love that one, you have to see this next one.

It'll have you thinking about it for days.

>> It's after nine, this one will probably run to like 11.

>> Spend the night?

>> All right, let's see if this will top the last one.

Oh my god, what are you doing?

>> It won't be over 'til 11, I'm getting ready for bed.

>> Jack: I'm not ready for this, Matt.

>> Ready for what?

>> We can't lay in bed together in our boxers.

Something's changed.

>> Okay, I'll sleep on the floor.

>> No, it's your room, I can't ask you to sleep on the floor.

>> Okay, you sleep on the floor,

but I don't see what's wrong.

>> Matt, I'm not ready for this.

>> Matt: Ready for what?

>> These feelings, all right?

I have to go, something's changed.

>> What?

>> Well I blew it.

>> You explain it.

>> Our friendship, I got all freaked out

and made things weird.

>> Mrs. McKay: What happened?

>> Last night we were watching a movie in his room

and he took off his pants and--

>> God damn it, I don't need to hear this!

>> Mrs. McKay: Why do you think you felt uncomfortable?

>> Because I definitely have feelings for him

and I've tried so hard to be one of the crowd.

In high school, being different just makes you a target.

>> So you don't tell everyone, but you need to tell him.

Now that you know for sure.

>> First let me see if I can repair the damage

from last night.

Telling him would be doing more damage than good.

>> Honesty is the best way to do it.

(phone ringing)

>> Matt: Hello?

>> Hey Matt, it's Jack.

Listen I just wanted to apologize

for what happened last night.

>> Matt: No problem, actually it was a good thing you left.

During the night I came down with a temperature.

It's better but I still have body aches.

>> Oh, I'm sorry, are you staying home?

I can get all your homework from your teachers if you want.

>> Matt: That's really nice of you,

you're a good friend.

>> No problem, man, you just get better.

I've got your back.

>> Matt: Thanks, man.

>> Matthew's not here.

>> Jack: I know, I'm bringing him

lobster bisque after school.

>> I mean there's no reason you should sit here.

You're bringing him lobster bisque?

>> Yeah, it's his favorite soup.

>> I know it's his favorite soup,

but don't you think that's the kind of thing

his girlfriend should be doing.

>> I guess but we take care of each other.

>> Somewhere the line of friendship

has been blurred for you.

You both have always been oddly close.

But I've seen the way you look at him.

That's the way I used to look at him.

You're in love with him.

>> No, I don't--

>> Let me explain something to you, Jack.

You have been his first priority our entire relationship.

He makes plans with you before he even considers

spending time with me.

I am done being number two with him

and I am done digging the shadows

of this all powerful bond you share with Matt.

>> I didn't realize--

>> Here's what's going to happen.

You are going to end this sick pursuit of my boyfriend

because I am done sharing him with you.

>> I didn't mean to--

>> I'm going to become number one in his life,

and the only way for that to happen

is for you to go away.

>> We've been friends ever since--

>> Because if you don't go away,

I will tell him in front of all of his friends

that you love him.

And the shock and embarrassment that he will receive

from his friends will make him hate you.

>> Hey Jack, need a seat?

This place is so crowded.

Your only chance at sitting down is to know

someone at the table or booth.

>> Yeah, thanks for letting me sit here.

>> No problem.

What's wrong?

>> My best friend who I always eat lunch with

is sick today.

>> Oh. >> Yeah.

And because of that I can't sit with his girlfriend.

She wouldn't let me.

>> That's mean.

>> Yeah, I thought she liked me.

>> Well she doesn't act like it.

How sick is your friend 'cause you can sit here

as long as you need until he returns.

>> Thanks but I'm hoping he'll be here tomorrow.

>> Yeah hopefully.

>> You know, how'd you get your own booth?

>> I began sitting here the first week of school.

No one chose to sit with me so (mumbles).

They each sat where they usually sit

and my booth is empty for me.

>> Wow, well that worked out for you.

>> Yeah, but I eat lunch alone everyday.

>> Look, maybe tomorrow I can eat lunch with you too.

I'll know for sure after school.

I'm going by to drop off his homework

and give him some soup.

I'm hoping it'll lift up his spirits.

>> You're a good friend, I hope he knows that.

>> He does.

(knocking on door)

>> Matt, you have a visitor.

>> Hey, man, lobster bisque.

>> Wow, my favorite.

>> Yeah, and I gave your mom your homework

you know in case you feel up to it later on.

>> You didn't have to do that.

>> Well you know, I feel bad for you

when you're sick, man.

I care about you a lot.

>> That makes me feel good to know.

You wanna sit down?

I'm wearing pants.

>> Yeah, sure.

So how you feeling today, man?

Still got that fever?

>> I think it's gone but it could get worse tonight.

The worse part is the lack of energy.

(gentle music)

>> So has Jennifer been by to visit yet?

>> She doesn't like to be around sick people.

I didn't even bother telling her I was sick.

>> I really got to talk to you about her, man.

>> Okay.

>> Don't be mad, but I was worried about you.

>> Matt: Why would I be mad?

>> Well Jack told me you didn't want visitors.

But I wanted to bring you soup.

It's lobster bisque. >> Really?

>> Oh but don't tell Jack.

He yelled at me for wanting to bring it to you.

He made me promise I wouldn't come over.

>> He yelled at you?

I don't mind visitors.

In fact, Jack came by earlier and brought me soup too.

>> Jack yelled at me for wanting to bring you soup.

And he stole my idea and did it himself?

>> No, why would he do that?

Maybe you misunderstood.

>> I don't think he likes me.

I tried to walk with him after third period

and he just sped past me and he wouldn't let me

eat with him at lunch.

I had to eat outside alone.

I missed you, Matt.

>> This is offensive and more than that

it's disrespectful to Matt.

>> Who the hell do you think you are

lecturing me about being offensive?

Your feelings for him is what's offensive.

Don't make this hard on yourself.

>> Who's that guy?

>> Just an obstacle.

>> Jack: Hey man, brought your class work.

>> Matt: That's all from today?

>> Yeah, I suggest you get back to school soon.

>> Thanks, man.

So how are things going over there?

How was your day?

>> I need to talk to you about that.

About Jennifer.

>> Yeah, what's your deal with her?

She told me you told her not to visit me?

>> What, I didn't, I wouldn't do that.

>> She thinks you're jealous.

Are you jealous?

>> Honestly there have been times where,

yes I have been jealous when I see her kissing you,

but today--

>> You are jealous of me?

Are you trying to break us up so you can be with her?

>> What, no.

>> Matt: You're my friend.

>> You know I care way too much about you

to let her do this to you.

>> Get out, Jack!

I need some space until I'm better.

>> You're misunderstanding the jealousy.

Not jealousy, I mean.

>> Matt: Get out!

>> Jack: I'm not in love with her, I'm in love with--

(door slamming)

(Jack sniffling)

>> What happened?

>> It's over.

>> What's over? >> Our friendship.

>> You told him?

>> I never got the chance to.

His girlfriend's got him so convinced

that I'm trying to break them up when she's the one

cheating on him.

>> Now he hates me, he won't even open the door

or answer my calls.

>> Well it was bound to happen if you told him anyways.

At least you got saved the embarrassment.

>> Jack, you and Matthew have a bond

that is stronger than her.

It got you through middle school,

it'll get you through this.

>> Why would he believe her?

>> Mrs. McKay: Just give him time to cool down.

Once he does, I'm sure he'll listen.

>> Matt, I know you're still mad about what Jennifer

told you but it's a lie.

She's just trying to ruin our friendship.

>> Leave me alone.

>> Teacher: Good morning, let's find our seats.

That includes you Mr. McKay.

>> Just wait for me after class, I can explain.

(bell ringing)

Matt, Matt!

Hey.

Look, man, you and Jennifer, whatever,

you can have her all to yourself

just tell her boyfriend about you.

>> I don't want her to myself.

We're just having fun, no commitment, bro.

>> Whatever, man, just tell her boyfriend,

so that way he knows you're the one cheating not me.

>> You?

No, bro, I'm good.

>> Hey.

>> Hey.

>> So TGIF, am I right?

>> What?

>> Do you have any plans for the weekend?

>> Jack: No, Matt and I are supposed to see a movie,

but those days are over.

>> Well maybe someone else would go with you.

>> Doubt it, I don't really know anyone else.

(coughing)

You?

Will you go?

>> Well sure, I guess I could go with you.

>> Were you trying to be subtle?

(Peter mumbles)

>> You've returned?

>> Can I sit here? >> Of course.

>> Thanks. >> No problem.

So is your friend sick again?

>> No, it's just,

it's complicated.

>> I get it, but even if you talk to me about it,

you'll find it's not so complicated after all.

What's your friend's name?

>> Matthew.

>> Peter: What's the problem with you and Matthew?

>> It's not really him, it's me and his girlfriend Jennifer.

She has a secret of mine and she threatened to tell him,

so instead of coming to me, she went off

and convinced him that I'm in love with her.

>> That's not the secret?

>> No, that's the farthest from the secret.

But now he thinks I'm just trying to end the friendship.

>> Which you're not.

>> No, I'm not.

But my secret could create a problem

between the three of us.

>> You're right, this is complicated,

but it obviously sounds like a case of a misunderstanding.

You should tell Matt what's been going on

and what this girl's doing.

>> Matt won't even talk to me.

He hates me now.

>> You don't seem like that type of guy.

If he is your friend, he'll realize that.

>> Mr. McKay. >> Have you seen Matt?

>> Not since this morning, sorry.

(phone ringing)

>> Matt: Hey, this is Matt.

Say what you need to say but keep it brief.

>> Hey, sorry I'm running late.

>> No worries, Matt usually gets around here

the previews anyways.

I like to show up half an hour early

in case there's a long line.

>> I guess it's good one of us is the planner.

>> All right thank you. >> All right.

(ticket seller mutters)

>> I don't know too much about this movie.

I'm not the whole comedy or adventure types person.

>> What type of movies do you like?

>> Matt likes to watch horror films.

>> What type of movies do you like?

>> Matt and I like to watch horror films.

>> So how are things between you and Matt?

>> He won't return my calls, my texts, I don't know.

>> Well his loss of friend is my gain, so.

>> I guess so.

You know what would be funny?

If Matt actually showed up here tonight.

>> How would that be funny?

>> 'Cause, you know, Matt and I always come here

on Saturdays at eight.

It'd be hilarious if he showed up if you knew him.

>> Actress: Who, that's what I always ask myself.

(muffled singing)

I don't owe anybody anything.

I did it myself.

♫ I'm so happy

(phone ringing)

>> Man: You called me?

(phone ringing) Who are you?

(TV show drowned out by phone ringing)

You got me. >> I didn't ask for you.

>> Actor: Not in words.

>> Matt: Hey, this is Matt, say what you need to say

but keep it brief.

>> Matt, I miss you, man, let's talk.

>> Freeze, drop the gun, now! (phone beeping)

(TV show mumbling)

>> Actor: John Clarke I am placing you under arrest.

Drop the gun and get on the ground.

Missile to dispatch.

Requesting location of my back up.

(toilet flushing)

>> Matt, come on, man, I've given you enough time

to cool down.

>> After school.

>> Hey. >> Hey.

How far have you gotten in the novel?

>> Oh, like chapter seven or eight, I think.

>> Cool, me too.

Hey do you wanna meet in the library after school?

We can knock out the next chapter together?

I'd like to get your thoughts on it.

>> I can't after school, Matt has the game.

>> You know, I don't think I've ever been

to a school football game.

>> It's soccer, Matt prefers soccer over football.

>> Which do you prefer?

>> I just told you, but anyways, wish me luck,

he finally agreed to talk to me after the game.

I really need to fix this.

I haven't been myself these last two weeks.

>> Have you noticed you talk a lot about Matt?

Everyday it's something you both do,

what you once did, how much you miss him?

>> Well he's my best friend.

>> Yeah, but sometimes

it sounds like that you're one person.

>> How's that?

>> Sometimes you talk like his life is your life.

>> We have separate lives, Peter.

>> Well I don't mean no disrespect to either of you

but he has the life.

He has soccer, he has teammates, he has a girlfriend.

You only have Matt.

>> That can't be true.

>> You're just so focused on him that you've never stopped

to just focus on yourself.

>> No, you're wrong, Peter.

>> Maybe I am, sorry.

So Jack, tell me about yourself, who are you?

>> Oh shit, I'm Matt's friend.

I've always been just Matt's friend.

>> Well maybe now's the opportunity to change that.

>> I don't know how.

(whistle blows)

>> What are you doing here?

>> I'd never miss one of Matt's games.

Especially not his first string one.

>> Can you possibly be that dense?

I don't want you here and now neither does Matt.

>> Because of you, I'm gonna fix that right after the game.

>> He made his choice.

And for the first time, he chose me.

>> He would never choose you over me.

>> Well let's see.

After the game I'm going to tell him in front

of his entire team about your lust for him.

Then we'll see which is stronger.

>> Jennifer you can't do that to him.

>> Enjoy the game.

>> Where's Jack?

>> He left, I'm sorry.

He was saying some really mean things about your team

and when you fell he started mocking you.

I would've just ignored him

but he had so many people in on it.

So I told him to leave

and then he called me a bitch and left.

>> He laughed at me?

>> I'm sorry.

I know you usually celebrate with Jack after your game,

but I was thinking maybe we could do our own

kind of celebrating.

Just a celebration for my soccer champion.

(moaning) (dramatic piano music)

>> Mrs. McKay: Jack, you overslept, it's quarter to seven.

>> I'm not going today.

>> Are you all right?

>> Matt knows.

>> You can't avoid him, Jack.

>> I know.

I need a day to deal.

>> Okay, one day.

♫ Today

♫ I feel less safe

♫ Why ask an empty shell

♫ Today

♫ I feel as lonely as hell

♫ In my head

♫ And I'm so tired

♫ Of you (mumbles)

♫ And when I look at you

♫ It makes me realize

♫ I don't even know who I am

♫ But maybe someday

♫ Maybe someday I will find me

♫ Maybe someday

♫ Maybe someday I will find you

♫ But for now

>> Someone needs to talk to her like today.

>> Have it be Sammy.

>> As if she has style to talk about.

>> Can we go now?

>> That was the joke.

>> That was so the joke. (laughing)

♫ What's missing to me

♫ But maybe someday

♫ Maybe someday I will find me

♫ And maybe someday

♫ Maybe someday I will find you

♫ And maybe someday, maybe someday

♫ I will find you

>> Matt: Hey this is Matt.

Say what you need to say, but keep it brief.

>> Hey, Matt, I know you probably can't answer

the phone right now because you're at school

and right now I probably prefer it.

I know what Jennifer told you about me.

I didn't want it to ruin the friendship.

Otherwise I would've told you myself.

I'm not trying to end your current relationship

or change ours if you don't feel the same.

I just wanted to let you know.

♫ Then I'll know

♫ It will take some time

♫ But I'm ready to do what it takes

♫ And I know

♫ It won't be easy to find my way out there

♫ But maybe someday

♫ Maybe someday I will find me

♫ Maybe someday, maybe someday

♫ I will find you

♫ Maybe someday, maybe someday

♫ I will find you

♫ I will find you

♫ Maybe someday, I will find you

>> It's okay, Jack, I feel the same way.

>> I love you, Matt.

>> I love you more.

>> Matt.

Matt.

>> Have you seen Jack today?

I think he's avoiding me.

>> Who cares, we finally get to spend

some time together without him.

>> We had a fight about you and I think he's angry.

>> Yeah, probably, I told you he's jealous of us.

>> Which doesn't make sense.

Why would he wanna go after you?

>> Wow, thanks.

>> That's not what I meant.

>> He's just not the type of guy that would

go out with another guy's girlfriend.

It just doesn't make sense.

>> Okay, I didn't wanna have to tell you this,

but Jack is avoiding you.

>> He is?

>> Yeah, his jealousy of us has become hatred towards you.

>> He told you he hated me?

>> Yep, he's so mad, he says your friendship is over.

>> Over you?

But I'm his best friend.

>> I know, it hurts that he's gone forever.

At least we still have each other.

>> Out of all the girls in the school,

why choose you?

>> Oh my god, I don't know, Matt,

maybe he doesn't know any other girls.

I mean besides you, who else does he know?

>> Hey. >> Oh hey.

>> What are you doing here?

>> I brought you your homework.

>> Jack: You did, wow, man, thank you,

that's so cool of you.

>> Well I noticed you were absent

and I thought you were upset about what I said

to you yesterday.

Sometimes I say too much and it causes me

to lose a lot of friends.

>> It's cool, but you were right though.

I need to redefine my identity.

Hey, you wanna come in?

>> Sure.

>> I lost myself somehow.

Hey do you need anything?

Something to drink at all?

>> No, I'm good.

>> Jack: All right.

>> I have to admit, I only got your Language Arts homework.

I don't really know what other classes you have.

>> Oh man, don't sweat it.

It's my fault, I didn't really tell you much about me.

But yet you're still looking out for me.

>> You'd be surprised at how many people

might just wanna be your friend.

If you just let them get a chance to know you.

>> Thank you. >> Mm-hm.

>> Phone: You have one unheard message.

>> Jack: Hey Matt, I know you probably can't answer

the phone right now because you're at school.

Right now I probably prefer it.

I know what Jennifer told you about me.

I didn't want it to ruin the friendship.

Otherwise I would've told you myself.

>> She was right?

>> Jack: I'm not trying to end your current relationship

or change ours if you don't feel the same.

>> How am I supposed to feel?

>> Jack: I just wanted to let you know.

>> Phone: End of messages.

To hear your messages press (beeping).

(phone ringing)

>> It's Matt?

>> Yeah, but he can wait.

>> You could've taken it.

>> No, man, I'm hanging with you right now.

>> Hey boys. >> Hey.

>> Jack, I think it's time for your friend

to head home, okay?

>> Well I can do the rest on my own.

Thanks for helping me out, man, I appreciate it.

>> Okay, hey are you a dog or a cat person?

>> Um, I don't know.

I guess I never really thought about it.

>> After dinner, you wanna find out?

>> Yeah.

>> I find that dogs are better trained than cats.

You could use dogs commands whereas cats are stubborn.

>> Yeah but people online teach cats to talk.

>> Yeah but dogs are more willing to please their owners.

Cats are snobs who try to suffocate their owners.

>> All cats try to kill their owners.

>> Dogs are more friendly, at least give me that.

>> I'll give you that, not all dogs are friendly either.

How about they're both equally good pets?

>> You can't walk a cat, cats would (mumbles) on a leash.

But you could walk a dog to a park

and you'd both enjoy it.

Try it.

>> I called Jack.

>> You did?

>> Yeah, he left a message admitting his feelings for you.

>> (laughs) Can you blame him?

How can he resist you?

Me, resist me.

>> Good night. >> Good night.

>> Phone: You have two unheard messages.

First message.

>> Matt: Hey it's Matt, I was hoping to talk to you.

I didn't really wanna share this over the phone.

Remember that pact we made in ninth?

Whoever lost their virginity first had to call the other?

I just did, call me.

I'd like to talk to you in person.

>> She won.

Lust over friendship.

>> Phone: Next message.

>> Matt: Got your message.

What the hell, man?

>> She did tell him.

>> Of course I'm mad.

You were my friend.

Not willing to ruin our friendship,

how the hell wouldn't it?

I wish you had told me yourself like a man,

but you're not a real man

'cause a real man doesn't try to steal

his best friend's girl.

>> What?

>> Matt: Oh, but that wasn't your intentions.

What were your intentions?

To share her?

>> Share her?

>> Matt: You're sick, Jack.

I never suspected this betrayal from you.

I'm glad you hate me.

Now I feel the same way about you.

>> Phone: End of new messages.

To hear your messages, press.

(melancholy music)

(bell ringing)

>> Jack: Matt.

Matt.

Matt.

>> Teacher: No talking in my class.

>> You still haven't told him.

>> Still might.

>> Jack: You won't because I was right.

>> About?

>> Jack: You're afraid that if given the choice,

he'd choose me.

>> I don't think that would be a problem

since you'll never actually be man enough

to tell him yourself.

>> Jack: Oh I'm gonna tell him how I feel.

Our friendship means more to me than my humiliation.

>> Telling him now is futile.

>> I know you slept together but you know

that's when I realized just how nervous

and desperate you are about losing him.

>> Call it what you will, but now he'd definitely choose me.

>> I guess we'll see.

>> When I'm not doing that I spend most of the afternoons

jogging to the park.

It's important to keep your body as fluid as your mind.

You know you should come with me sometime.

Okay what are you doing?

>> I'm looking for Matt.

>> Of course you are.

>> Jack, over here.

I was hoping we had the same lunch period.

>> Really?

>> Well you're kind of the only person I know.

>> You into any team sports?

>> Mostly basketball and soccer.

>> You up for a challenge?

I a pro side supe last summer if you're game.

(laughing)

(crowd shouting)

(laughing)

>> Oh my god, The Hard Good Bye is playing.

>> Two tickets for The Longest Farewell.

>> That'll be 16.50.

>> I didn't really wanna-- >> 16.50.

>> Man: Enjoy the movie.

(gentle music)

>> Mrs. McKay: We're going to bed, good night.

>> Good night.

>> You know what, I feel weird saying anything

but I noticed Matt hasn't been around in awhile.

>> His girlfriend still has him convinced

I'm trying to break them up.

I tried talking to him about it but now he's mad at me

and our friendship's destroyed.

>> That's appalling, why would Matt choose a girl

like that over his best friend?

>> Well to be fair, he doesn't know that she is lying

or that she threatened me.

>> Don't you think he needs to know?

>> She has him so strongly convinced,

he won't even listen to me.

>> It seems to be her plan just to end our friendship

and keep him all to herself.

I guess she succeeded.

>> If you ask me, I think she did you a favor.

>> And how's that?

>> She saved you from the humiliation

of having to tell him you love him.

If I were you, I would just say thank you and move on.

>> She already resolved the issue of your fear

of telling Matt and ruining your friendship.

Don't you think it's time that you tell him?

>> Your mom is wrong, she's sending you down a path

of humiliation and pain.

>> Jack, whether you're friends or not,

Matt has every right to know.

>> You're right, he deserves to be treated better.

>> You know I think it's time everyone needs to be honest.

>> You know, I don't know why you keep

promoting this behavior.

>> Why are you so verbally brutal when he needs our support

more than ever.

>> Me verbally brutal?

You don't know how brutally verbal society can be

for these people?

>> He's not making a choice, he is what he is.

Whether the world accepts him or not, we are his parents.

>> I just don't want this for my son.

>> I understand, no parents wants their child

to be hated or judged but just because the world

may treat him that way, doesn't mean you should.

It's (mumbles).

(bell rings)

(soft orchestral music)

>> Peter: Hey Jack.

>> Jack: Matt.

>> Jack, I'm glad you're here, I wanna apologize--

>> Just, come on, come with me.

Your relationship with Jennifer Ross ends today.

She has a boyfriend and you're gonna respect that.

>> What do you care?

You're not her boyfriend.

>> Yeah, my best friend is.

>> Well your friend must be an idiot

not to notice we've been hooking up for almost two months.

>> That ends today.

>> Whatever, he can have her.

She's terrible in bed.

>> You disgusting bitch!

>> Jack: Oh he knows about the other guy.

>> How many other guys are there?

You made me look like a fool.

Like an ignorant putz that has no clue his cow

is giving every farm man she meets.

>> Now wait just a damn minute.

>> I can't believe I let your visage blind me

from how ugly the person you really are.

>> Ugly, look at me.

>> Jennifer, you're ugly on the inside and you know that.

That's why you're so desperate to be with any guy

who shows you attention.

But now I can finally see that too.

>> She is ugly on the inside.

>> It's about time she got told.

>> Boy: You got told, bitch.

>> Jack's in love with you, you know.

>> Really, first he's in love with you

and now he's in love with me?

You lie so much, how did I ever believe anything you said?

You're a manipulative psycho!

(gentle music)

>> Matt, where are you going?

>> Matt: I need to be alone!

>> You can't leave in the middle of the day!

(melancholy music)

(knocking on door)

>> Come in.

>> You feeling up to guests?

Jack's here.

>> I'm not really in a friendly mood, Mom.

>> I'm sure he understands that.

He's your best friend,

he might be just what you need right now.

>> Hey. >> Hey.

>> I didn't want you to see me cry.

>> I've seen you cry before.

Look, I'm sorry about all that.

>> Why should you be sorry?

Jennifer's the one that's been dishonest.

>> Yeah, but still I should've told you.

>> I'm sure you tried but I wasn't listening.

>> Well I'm sorry I confronted him the way I did.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

>> You did what you were supposed to.

That's what a best friend does.

>> Jack: Come here, man.

(hopeful music)

>> Matt: But I loved her.

>> Jack: I know.

>> I really loved her.

>> I know.

>> I let her lie about you.

I knew none of that was true.

I knew you wouldn't try to break us up.

But yet I let her come between us.

>> But that's the thing, Matt,

our friendship is stronger than her.

That's what she was afraid of.

>> Some friend I was.

To think that you would try to break us up.

Then to say that you were in love with me?

After this, no one will ever love me.

>> Well actually Matt.

That last part wasn't a lie.

I do love you.

>> I love you too, man.

>> Matt, please look at me.

No, I'm in love with you.

>> What?

>> Don't you get it?

You've always been a constant in my life.

That when things go wrong, I know I have you there

to make it right.

You're always there for me.

Through the good and bad times.

I can't fathom the thought of you not being there with me,

every moment and every experience in my life.

Being apart these past few weeks though,

it just made it more obvious.

>> I totally understand.

You're the only person I can be myself with.

That I can trust and do trust.

I'm glad I have someone like you to share

my every thought and not be judged.

To not only share my life experiences

but to make every experience worth sharing.

But that's friendship not love.

If that's not enough, I can't give you

what you're looking for in return.

>> Oh my god.

Oh my god.

I'm such a fool.

>> I was coming back from the mailbox

and I saw him mowing our side of the lawn.

>> Our lawn?

Who was he?

>> Some kid about eight or nine years old.

>> Eight or nine?

>> He was a little funny looking too.

>> How so?

>> In a goofy kind of way.

>> Why was he cutting our lawn?

>> I don't know, apparently he inverted the numbers.

Some guy down the block hired him.

>> Mrs. McKay: Good thing you stopped him when you did

and now we'll have to pay for his mistake.

>> Mr. McKay: I'm not gonna pay him, I didn't hire him.

>> Mrs. McKay: How was your day?

>> Well Matt found out about Jennifer cheating on him

and broke up with her.

>> How did he find out?

>> I showed him.

He told her off pretty good.

Matt was all broken up about it.

>> I find when people break up,

they usually feel rejected.

>> He did so I thought it was the right time to tell him.

>> What do you mean, you told him?

You told him how you feel?

>> Mrs. McKay: Did he feel the same?

>> No, he said no.

>> Mrs. McKay: I'm sorry, Jack.

>> I felt like a fool.

>> Jack, don't feel like a fool.

You know, you did a brave thing.

I'm very proud of you.

>> What did he say exactly?

>> He said he only felt friendship

which left me feeling humiliated.

I ran out of his house.

>> Perhaps what he meant was when you have

a special friendship like you and Matt both have,

it doesn't need another label.

Just cherish that friendship.

What it means to both of you.

>> I just wish he had said it that way.

>> Don't give up on your friendship with him.

He's not gonna give up on you.

>> It's just, it's just gonna be awkward now.

(muffled speaking)

(birds chirping)

Hey. >> Hey.

>> How have you been?

I've tried calling but--

>> Yeah, I've been okay.

>> I'm glad.

Seems Jennifer hates me too now, so.

>> I don't hate you if that's what you're implying.

>> Good.

Look I know you feel blind sighted

about the whole situation.

I wish I had handled it differently--

>> Jack, you don't have to say anything.

I mean please don't say anything.

>> It's just I realize now though

a friendship like ours, I should just cherish it for--

>> I gotta go.

>> Oh.

Well hey maybe this weekend we can maybe--

(Matt mutters)

(melancholy music)

>> Dinner's ready.

>> I don't feel like eating anything.

>> I can bring you something.

>> Actor: You trespassing, boy.

(clunking)

>> So, Matt.

I have given us some thought over the past month

and I've decided to forgive you

for your embarrassing outburst.

>> Fuck you.

>> Hey babe. >> Whoa.

What are you doing?

Your boyfriend made it pretty clear.

We're over.

Whatever it was we were doing, it's over.

>> Well I hope you're very happy with yourself.

You got what you wanted in the end.

>> I didn't get anything, I lost everything.

His support, his friendship, my identity

and most importantly I lost Matt forever.

>> So you ruined our relationship for nothing.

>> No Jennifer, you ruined your own relationship.

Between your lying and your cheating,

your manipulative behavior.

No, that was you.

>> Well this loss of whatever, that's on you.

You scared him, you confused him.

>> Jack: Confused him?

>> Imagine if everything you thought was true

suddenly changed, not only would it change

your thoughts on the present

but you would think back on the past

and it would feel like those changed too.

>> So now what?

>> Who knows, you altered your relationship with him.

I guess you should've just kept your mouth shut.

>> But then I'd be lying to myself.

>> Woo, good job, Jack!

So you're not a surfer, we can cross that off the list.

>> Hey I really appreciate you helping me move forward.

I think I finally get it now.

Finding myself, owning my own identity.

>> Cool, man.

>> It got me to a better place than where I was.

But me and Matt, five years of experiences and memories

that I just can't forget so easily.

>> This hasn't been about forgetting Matt.

You have the deepest friendship of anyone I've ever met.

You could never abandon those memories

or even that friendship.

Matt will have to realize that the same way you have.

>> Jack: You know, next Friday's the last soccer game

of the season for him.

I really want to be there to support him.

>> Then go, friendship is not either or.

He is or was your best friend.

Do what you think is right.

>> Wanna go with me?

♫ Ha, true definition of a champion

♫ (mumbles) to do what can't be done

♫ No one to hold your hand and help you fight through pain

♫ I would walk through the fire just to bring you the rain

(crowd cheering drowns out rapping)

♫ It's a race against the clock

♫ You got the perfect timing

♫ Bring you down to course the lightening

♫ The only thing that kills diamond is diamond

♫ I'm the way you know my life

>> Yeah, Matt, go, go, go!

♫ Show you I can do that

♫ So let's get to it

♫ I've got the heart of a champion

♫ I've got the heart of a champion

♫ I've got the heart of a champion

(whistle blowing)

♫ Careful I've been fightin' all my life

♫ Just to get a little taste or a slice of the pie

♫ I train hard to play hard

♫ Even on my off days I stay on

♫ To rise above the weakness that'll bring it on

♫ Our normal voice, sunlight 'til the day's gone

♫ The early bird gets the craze

♫ The book worm gets the praise

♫ And I'mma get it off

♫ Not the way you know my life

♫ Just for this one time

>> Matt, you did great out there, man.

>> I'm surprised he would even come here.

>> I'm surprised he came too.

I mean even after the hurt you've caused him,

the constant neglect he felt when you shunned him.

But he still wants to rebuild a friendship

that you believe that he destroyed.

So many people would strive for a bond that strong.

Don't be so quick to discard a friendship

that others would cherish.

(melancholy music)

>> Hello, Jack.

>> Mrs. Collins.

>> Mrs. Collins: Hi, how are you?

>> All right.

>> I've missed seeing you come around.

>> I've missed being around.

>> What you told Matt was really brave.

>> Thank you, Mrs. Collins.

>> It was really good seeing you.

>> It was good seeing you.

>> Hey so that was a great way to end the season.

>> They were ranked second in the district.

>> Now you know why.

So where do you wanna go to celebrate?

>> I'm pretty sweaty.

Can we just take something home?

>> Sure thing.

You know I saw Jack at the game.

>> I know, I saw him.

>> You know why he was there, don't you?

To support you

because that's what you guys have always done

for each other.

He's been there for you and you've been there for him.

>> I know that.

>> Look, it wasn't that long ago when your heart

was broken, he was there to make sure

you weren't alone.

>> It's just weird now.

>> It doesn't have to be.

Maybe instead of being frightened,

you can just be flattered.

>> What are you getting at?

>> Look, he trusted you enough to open his heart to you

and that must've taken a lot of courage.

He's always been your biggest supporter.

Be his when he needs you most.

>> Nice try.

>> Nice try on you.

>> Matt: Lucky shot.

>> Matt?

How are you?

>> I'm not sure.

>> Oh.

>> I haven't been sure since you told me.

>> I'm not gonna apologize for saying it.

>> I'm not asking you to because I've been thinking

about what we had.

We've been friends for so long,

I consider you like a brother to me.

Maybe that confused you?

Maybe your feelings are more than our strong bond

of friendship, but I can't give you more

than what I have in the past.

>> Matt, if all you can give me is the friendship

we used to have, I can ask for no greater gift.

>> That was beautiful.

>> This is Peter, Peter, this is Matt.

>> We've met. >> Huh?

>> I'll let you guys continue your game.

Maybe we can hang out sometime.

>> Jack: Yeah that would be awesome.

>> Hey.

You wanna join us?

>> You sure?

>> Yeah, it's every man for themselves.

>> All right.

>> Jack: Matt and I soon regained that bond

that others often whispered about.

(screaming)

As if we'd never been apart except my entire life

is no longer exclusively focused on Matt.

I had a teacher once state true friendship

multiplies the good in life and divides its evils.

I believe that now because life without friends

is like life on a deserted island.

To find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune

but to keep them is a blessing.
