00:00You know that nothing can happen between us.
00:06Why is that?
00:07I go to college in the fall.
00:09In four months, right?
00:12I don't get it.
00:22This is going to sound like super weird,
00:24but my friend was telling me about this like super smart girl
00:26that lives across the street from him.
00:28I just saw you on the platform and I thought, wow.
00:31I thought I would say hello.
00:33So you get in everywhere you applied.
00:35Where are you going to go?
00:36Harvard.
00:37Boring.
00:38It's Harvard.
00:39It's been like the thing since I was five.
00:41What about you?
00:42You're not going to college?
00:43Correct.
00:44I feel like there's something happening here.
00:46We are not going on a date.
00:47Why is that?
00:48You're just not the kind of person
00:50that I want to let into my life right now.
00:53I suppose this is goodbye tragic.
00:58Au revoir.
00:59Au revoir.
01:01Bye.
01:01Bye.
01:05I feel like you're not going to give up on this date idea.
01:20No, I'm not.
01:21My mom was an army medic.
01:30Was your dad in the army too?
01:31Never really had one of those.
01:32I have a lot of important things in my life right now.
01:35Yeah, my parents are a lot.
01:37It's going to get ugly.
01:39We're actually becoming very good friends.
01:42Did Barnes force you into this?
01:43You're not going anywhere.
01:44You're grounded.
01:44Okay.
01:49See, maybe you should slow down.
01:51Mommy's not going to college?
01:53Who even are you right now?
01:54I'm a girl who's doing whatever she wants
01:56for the first time in her life.
01:57I thought that our future was together.
01:59Yeah, so did I.
02:04Am I an idiot?
02:06Yes.
02:06Yeah.
02:07Yes.
02:07I thought you said you were in love with him.
02:12Crap.
02:15I miss you so much.
02:17I've ruined a really great thing
02:18and not a day that goes by
02:19where I don't regret that decision.
02:24Sometimes the most unexpected people
02:26are the best ones.
02:33Maybe they'll be happy for us.
02:35You know, maybe they'll chop you up
02:36into a bunch of tiny little pieces
02:37and use U.S. fertilizer for the lawn.
02:39Is that what happened to the last guy?
02:41Yeah, last couple of them.
02:42That's why the grass is so green.
