00:00Dude Tom you gotta stop kidding yourself man. I'm serious. I've been working on my pull-up jumper
00:07I think I could crack the starting lineup
00:10The starting
00:12Have you seen Jack play basketball?
00:16His arms are thicker than your legs
00:21We'd be happy to even let us on the team
00:25Besides that wait
00:28Hey, what happened you're not gonna believe this Jack broke up with Heidi
00:33What why would anyone ever break up with Heidi?
00:37Rumor has it he was seen on a date with Kylie Massimino. Oh

01:44These are like sad looks looks like the news is out about you and Jack these people feeling sorry for me
01:55I
01:59Don't show any weakness it could get disastrous. Hey, you know what you need a new boyfriend
02:05But who oh, I heard John Daniels likes. Oh, he's really cute when he's the guy who got me in trouble in the first place. I
02:12Don't know. I mean it's just date the hottest guy and the captain of the whatever. It's just they leave you
02:18You know, I need a bad boy who plays by his own rules no
02:24I mean a nice guy you nice guys don't leave you an embarrassing from the whole school. So
02:31They're nice just need to find the perfect candidate
02:37Hey, don't worry only a few dozen people stop it
02:46So, what are we looking for here
02:50What about him

03:14What about him?
03:17Yeah, it's athletic
03:20Girl, he smells like dirty gym socks
03:23And girls, okay, I've got this I've got this just I've been doing some thinking and I know just who to talk to
03:31Tom Grant who?
03:34Exactly
03:35It's perfect. I don't get it. Why Kim?
03:40He's cute enough athletic
03:45Enough
03:46And with a little hard work, there's potential to turn it from geek to chic. I still don't see it
03:52Most important of all is he's totally not a threat to leave me high and dry like Jack did
03:57That's for sure that kids not going anywhere
04:01Don't worry
04:04Wouldn't it be crazy what you made a shot
04:07That's not that crazy

04:11Three or four times ever
04:13Okay
04:18Okay, hot shot make it fly no, man, I mean
04:23What it wouldn't it be crazy if I could actually get today Heidi. It doesn't sound like crazy to me

06:20About you. Yeah, fine saying daisies
06:29So
06:30What else do you like? Um
06:33You know, I actually really like the presentation you did it mrs. Crawford's English class it it was really good what
06:43No, I mean, come on. No, I'm serious
06:46It made me rethink Lord of the Flies completely. I was all caught up in the hunting and monster stuff that I
06:53Missed all the symbolism. I didn't see it, but you did
06:57That says a lot about you really, of course, I mean obviously you have the beauty
07:05Anyone can see that
07:06Not everyone, but you clearly also have the brains and that can get lost sometimes
07:13But that's what's important. It's not more so
07:18That's nice. Thank you
07:23Do you like bounce houses
07:28Up well, it's been a while to be honest, but yeah, sure who doesn't
07:34Why?
07:36My little brother is having a birthday party this Sunday. It's gonna be so lame
07:41But maybe if you come it won't
07:46Sunday well, I was supposed to hang out with Vince, but
07:54Okay, I'll go cool
07:57Oh
08:11I'm really glad you decided to come Tom, of course
08:15Sorry, but um, I wasn't sure what to get your brother, but I saw he's a gamer. So I figured some Roblox story
08:22Yeah, no, they will for sure. He'll love that. Thank you
08:28Oh
08:29You're such a nice guy Tom
08:32Jack would have never done this with me
08:35Got my brother a present for that matter. Oh, it sounds like you're better off without
08:40Yeah
08:43Yeah, you're probably right I know that you never done me for Kylie Massimino I
08:49I
08:51Can't say that I have a lot of experience with heartbreak, but when I'm sad, you know, what makes me feel better what I
08:58I
09:13Don't like it she actually said the words nice guy
09:18What I mean, you're the one who said maybe she sees the real me
09:23true
09:25But something ain't right here
09:29She took it to the diner
09:32Knowing that Jack would be there with Kylie
09:38Have you thought that maybe she's he is not using me to make him jealous. Oh
09:42So you have thought about it then? Okay. Well, aren't you? Mr. Good things happen to good people
09:47Maybe it's my turn for something good to happen to me. Haven't you thought about that? I
09:53Want nothing but good things for you, man
09:56But if and I mean big if
10:00Well, not that big of an if but if she's just using you to make Jack jealous
10:05How is that good for you?
10:09Something good happens for me and all of a sudden it must be some kind of trick, right?
10:14Cuz no one could actually like me
10:16No, I don't think this has anything to do with Jack. You're the one who's jealous
10:21Yeah, I
10:22Too wish I had a fake relationship
10:26I'm on man. I was just messing around
10:35I don't know what his problem is. I
10:38Finally have something good in my life and he's getting all mad about it. We've seen this before
10:44Many times it's jealousy. Yeah, you've moved on to hire a class of people and
10:50Left him behind and he doesn't like it. I
10:52Know it's hard because you guys like to talk about your little robots or whatever. I mean technically they're not robot
11:01What I was gonna say is I know it's hard
11:05But this is a really good thing. I can't have my boyfriend hanging out with losers
11:10You have better friends now
11:12I'm gonna get you more. Okay?
11:15Wait, did you just call me your boyfriend?
11:19Yeah, what else would I call you silly
11:23You
11:34Hey, kiddo, hey, oh
11:39Tom you okay, son, you know, you've been acting a little strange lately
11:46Yeah, I'm fine
11:48I mean, Hattie is great in, uh, in a lot of ways.
11:57What?
11:58But she's trying to convince me to not hang out with Vince anymore.
12:01Vince doesn't like her either, and he thinks that she's just trying to use me to get back
12:07at her ex-boyfriend.
12:09I don't know.
12:10I like her, and I think she likes me.
12:12Well, that's great, son.
12:15But I think the real question is, does she like you for you, or is she trying to change
12:20you?
12:21It's a nice, snazzy jacket, don't you think?
12:25Where'd you get it from?
12:28Heidi.
12:29Look, I'm sure that Hattie is a great girl, son, but I also think that you're a pretty
12:35great kid, too.
12:36You're perfect just the way you are, and if Hattie doesn't see that, then maybe she's
12:42not the one for you.
12:44She's not trying to change me.
12:45She's just trying to help me become cooler.
12:49That's a good thing.
12:50Yeah.
12:51Uh-oh.
12:52What happened?
12:53Well, she bought me another jacket, and she wants me to wear it to school tomorrow so
13:00we can match.
13:01I...
13:02Okay.
13:03I...
13:04She bought me another gift.
13:07There's...
13:08There's nothing wrong with that.
13:09There's nothing wrong with that.
13:10What's wrong?
13:11It's always...
13:40It's not bad, you know, my dad paid for it, so.
14:06Heidi, I gotta say, this boyfriend project of yours is genius.
14:11I may even make him popular if I'm not too careful.
14:24Hey babe.
14:26My cousin is a trainer. I think I'm gonna hook you up with him this summer.
14:29You know, so you can get all beat up for football next year.
14:32Oh, uh, I don't want to play football. I'm doing cross country.
14:37Cross country? No, that's snooze fest. All the popular boys play football.
14:43My boyfriend is gonna play football.
14:45Yeah, but Heidi, I'm not big enough to play football, and I'm gonna get killed out there.
14:49Duh, that's what the personal trainer's for, silly.
14:52Joe, boom, buff. Like all the-
14:54Like Jack? I'm not Jack!
14:57No. I was gonna say like a football player.
15:00Oh, sorry.
15:03Well, you can start working out this weekend. We're gonna go to the boy band Bonanza concert.
15:07It's gonna be so fun. Jenna and Chloe are gonna take pictures of us, we got backstage passes,
15:11and then we're gonna be so close that we can literally smother hair gel.
15:14And then we can make everyone jealous of our amazing relationship. Okay?
15:19Well, um, I can't make it this weekend. My dad and I are going to the local Comic Con.
15:26You're blowing me off for a bunch of nerds? I don't think so.
15:30I've not invested this much time and money for you to be going to some geek convention.
15:34Well, Heidi, it's not a geek convention-
15:36No! I said no. No boyfriend of mine is going to Comic Con.
15:40I've not invested this much time and money for you to be going to some geek convention
15:44and hang out with a bunch of losers. I'm trying to raise yourself up from an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan.
15:49You're just trying to ruin that.
15:51I'll see you tomorrow. At the concert, got it?
15:56Yeah.
15:58Good.
16:00Bye.
16:05Ah, that sounded fun.
16:07Oh, yeah. She's just mad at me because I wanted to go to Comic Con.
16:11Yeah, I heard. Actually, everyone heard.
16:16But you're still going.
16:20Right?
16:24It's the best weekend of the year. Every year. Come on.
16:30Look, Heidi just wants to help me, man.
16:32Dude, you don't need any help. You're fine just the way you are.
16:39If Heidi liked you for you, she'd be trying to do the things you like sometimes, not just what she wants.
16:48But hey, it's your life. I'll see you at Comic Con. Or I won't.
16:55The important thing is, it's your decision.
17:00Not Heidi's.
17:02Come on, guys. Let's play some ball.
17:11Ah, I think I've outdone myself this time.
17:17Now tell me this is not the best homemade flash costume you've ever seen.
17:23Yeah, it's great, Dad. But, um...
17:27Uh-oh.
17:28I... I don't think I can go to Comic Con tomorrow.
17:34Heidi?
17:36She wants me to go to some boy band concert or something. I don't know.
17:40So this boy band concert, is it pretty important to her?
17:45I don't think so. I mean, they're just going so they can take pictures.
17:49I don't think Heidi even likes boy bands. Maybe she does. I don't know.
17:56You see this flash costume that I made for you to wear tomorrow?
18:00What color is the flash?
18:02Red. Always red.
18:04Right. So, let's just say I decided I didn't want the flash to be red. I wanted him to be... purple.
18:13Now this is what I want it to be. This flash. But it's just some purple lightning guy. See what I'm saying?
18:23So I'm the flash?
18:24Well, with Heidi, you're just this big purple flash. But personally, I like the good old-fashioned red flash.
18:32How about you?
18:35Yeah. Um, I do too.
18:39Now, if Heidi doesn't realize the amazing flash that you are, then maybe she's not the one for you.
18:48Suit up, son. Suit up.
18:52Where is he? Literally, the opening act starts in 15 minutes. Is that his car?
19:00Finally! Where have you...
19:18Why are you dressed like that?
19:20Because. We're going to Comic Con. And I just wanted to stop by to let you know that I won't be able to make it today.
19:27No. We have plans. You're gonna go get changed, we're gonna take pictures, and we're gonna look adorable.
19:34Or go to your little Comic Con, find a new girlfriend. If you can.
19:40You know, maybe you can date a Martian. I'm sure they'll love your costume just fine.
19:44It's interesting that you bring that up, because I've been thinking that maybe we should break up.
19:50What?
19:52I mean, I just don't think you like me for me. And this is me.
19:57I cannot believe this is happening to me again. And this time, it's from some loser.
20:03I don't know what I did to deserve this.
20:06Gee, I can't imagine.
20:08Gee, I can't imagine.
20:12I just tried to make you better. Okay?
20:16See? That's the thing. I was fine the way I was. I don't need to change, Heidi. Because I'm the Flash.
20:27Do not post that!
20:29Stop! Janet, stop it!
20:32Hey, good job. Hey, I know that wasn't easy.
20:35Alright, so, who's ready to go get some comics?
20:38Me!
20:39Hey, hey, hey, hey!
20:40Hey, move, move!
20:41Father!
20:42Can I drive? Can I drive?
20:43Father!
