00:00I'll go back. I'm going to throw up.
00:03Okay, let's see.
00:09Dear stranger, every time I open my locker, my heart sinks if it's empty.
00:16Each letter you leave makes the story of my life feel a little more complete.
00:20Ooh, that's good.
00:23But every story has to step off the page eventually.
00:26What if we met?
00:32She wants to meet?
00:35Oh my God.
00:45What's this?
00:48It's a coolie favorite band.
00:50You want her to think you guys have things in common, right?
00:53Yeah, yeah.
00:54What about when girls like when guys have their own interests?
00:58Okay, but not when their thing is basketball and burping the alphabet.
01:02You remember that?
01:03Yeah.
01:05That's bad. That's really bad. Oh my God.
01:08Okay, so let's see. Okay.
01:12Chloe's favorite book?
01:14The Night Circus.
01:19Chloe's favorite movie?
01:21Pride and Problems.
01:22Prejudice.
01:25The movie's called Prejudice?
01:26Prejudice. Pride and Prejudice.
01:28Oh, Pride and Prejudice.
01:29Good job. Okay.
01:31All right. What food does she hate?
01:34Anything with olives.
01:37Good job!
01:38Hey, look at you.
01:40You're not completely a lost cause.
01:42Hey, they don't call me B-Rad for nothing.
01:44Okay.
01:45You're taking her on the first date.
01:49Where are you going?
01:51The drive-in movie theater.
01:53Hmm.
01:55Good.
01:56Let me ask you something.
01:57If someone were to take you on a date, where would you want to go?
02:06It's not important.
02:07Anyways, I don't drive, so...
02:09Yeah.
02:09You don't drive?
02:12I never got my license.
02:14You're lying.
02:16Oh, my God.
02:18Little Miss Overachiever never got her license.
02:20This is amazing.
02:21It's not funny.
02:22It's very funny.
02:24It's pretty funny.
02:25Wow.
02:27Well, lucky for you,
02:29Coach Sterling over here is open for driving lessons.
02:34No, Brad.
02:35It's not happening.
02:35Yes.
02:36I'm serious.
02:37No.
02:38No, I'm serious.
02:39It's not a joke.
02:40It's not going to happen.
02:42Anytime.
02:52All right.
02:52Drivers, anytime.
02:53Are you ready?
02:54I'm not doing it.
02:56Come on.
02:56You're a genius.
02:57How hard can driving be?
02:59No, I'm serious.
03:00Brad, please just drop it.
03:01Look.
03:02What are you so afraid of?
03:03It's a car, not a shark.
03:04You're going to be fine.
03:05Yeah, well, my dad died in one.
03:07And my mom's been in the hospital ever since.
03:10So, uh...
03:11I'm not driving.
03:17I got an idea.
03:19All right, so why don't you just stay right here?
03:21Is it okay?
03:23Is it okay?
03:23Okay.
03:34What are you doing?
03:35We're going to take it slow.
03:38Just like a turtle.
03:40And look at...
03:41Nothing's going to happen.
03:45Do you trust me?
03:46I do.
03:49I do.
03:49Great.
03:51Hop on in.
03:53Okay.
03:55I'm going to get you a gift.
03:57I'm okay.
03:59And this is...
03:59Cube.
04:04Oh, God.
04:05You got this.
04:07Perfect.
04:12All right.
04:13That's the brake.
04:14That's the gas.
04:16We're in drive.
04:18That's reverse.
04:19Okay.
04:20All right.
04:21So, it's a neutral right now.
04:23Whenever you're ready,
04:24put it in drive.
04:25Slowly click on the gas.
04:28Okay.
04:29On the gas.
04:31I know, yes.
04:31Hold on.
04:33I'm coming.
04:34Okay, all right.
04:38Wow, that was great.
04:40No, no, no, no.
04:40Hey, no, hey.
04:41Hey, I got you.
04:42I got you.
04:43Honestly, not too bad for your first time.
04:46I almost killed us.
04:47Well, that builds character.
04:49Yeah, you did great.
04:51I think lesson one is complete.
04:54All right.
04:55My turn.
04:57Lucas?
04:59You take me.
05:00Oh, my God.
05:01How dare you.
05:02Do people really look at each other like that?
05:05I mean, come on.
05:07Yeah, if they're blind.
05:11Watch, I better get a kiss right here.
05:13Right here.
05:14Oh, God, babe.
05:17Wow.
05:17Look at you.
05:19I just don't understand why people think this stuff is, like, so romantic.
05:24It's the buildup.
05:26The anticipation, you know?
05:28You can kiss your company goodbye.
05:31So, for you.
05:35Sure.
05:37I think we're getting more sure of anything in our life.
05:45What?
05:46What about your mom in the company?
05:49Sorry, I need to take this.
05:50Okay.
05:51Hello?
05:52Hello?
05:53I'll be right there.
05:57Mom?
05:58You said it was an emergency?
06:00It's nothing, sweetie.
06:01Just a little scare.
06:03I'm fine.
06:05Who is this handsome young man?
06:08Your boyfriend?
06:08Yes, yes.
06:10Hi, I'm Brad Sterling.
06:12It's great to meet you, ma'am.
06:14Oh, you were quite the catch.
06:17What are your intentions with my daughter?
06:19Mom?
06:20He's not my boyfriend.
06:21Her heart is failing faster than we expected.
06:29She needs a transplant within the week.
06:31How much?
06:33Even with insurance, you're looking at $200,000.
06:37Man, there are other options.
06:39It's okay.
06:39I'll figure it out.
06:40Man.
06:41Trust me.
06:42I'll figure it out.
06:51Hey.
06:58I'm such a freaking idiot.
07:01This whole time, paper hearts, it's...
07:04That's why you're doing it.
07:05Yeah, but Brad, I'm stuck.
07:08Even with everything I've saved, it's not enough money.
07:10Hey, hey, hey, it's okay.
07:11It's okay.
07:20You know what?
07:21You're not doing it alone anymore.
07:24Because I got a plan.
07:25All right?
07:26Yeah.
07:26Mm-hmm.
07:29Mm-hmm.
07:30Mm-hmm.
07:31Mm-hmm.
08:31And you're going to keep trying, too.
08:43Oh, no.
08:47I'm falling for him.
08:49Come on.
08:53Get the word.
08:58Just five more essays.
09:00Is that why I didn't give Chloe the letter?
09:07Because I wanted him for myself?
09:10Okay.
09:11Here you go.
09:12You'll wear this on your date.
09:14I'll feed you the lines.
09:16You repeat them.
09:17No improvising.
09:18Got it?
09:19Just repeat them.
09:20No improvising.
09:21Okay?
09:22What if I think it's something really funny to say?
09:24Well, just keep it to yourself.
09:26Okay.
09:27Yep.
09:28Wow, my very own dating coach.
09:30Yeah.
09:31You need it.
09:32So.
09:33You ready?
09:35Oh, I'm ready.
09:35Okay, smile and relax, okay?
09:45Oh, my God.
09:45I'm going to pee my pants.
09:48You're going to do great, okay?
09:49I'm right here.
09:50Okay.
09:50She's coming.
09:51She's coming.
09:51Brad Sterling.
09:59Hi.
10:00It's great to officially meet you.
10:02You too.
10:04Okay.
10:08Wow.
10:09I can't believe it's you that's been writing me those letters.
10:15You know what they say.
10:18You know what they say.
10:20You can't judge a book by its cover.
10:24I guess you're right.
10:28Tell her she looks beautiful.
10:32You look beautiful.
10:35You know, that word is so overused that it's lost all of its meaning.
10:42But it has it with you.
10:48So.
10:50Why me?
10:51Why the letters?
10:53You're smart.
10:54You smell.
10:56You smell.
10:57I'm sorry?
11:00You smell like a wet dog in the summer.
11:06What?
11:07No, no, no, no.
11:08Say.
11:09I mean, in the sun.
11:10I mean.
11:10Is that better?
11:11No, no, no.
11:12Say.
11:13Say.
11:14You're easy to talk to.
11:15You're easy to talk to.
11:17Because you're so easy.
11:22Are you okay?
11:23Can you hear me?
11:24Brad, books.
11:25Tell her you liked her book.
11:28Pride and Olives.
11:29Olives.
11:30It's an overrated book.
11:32Uh-huh.
11:33It's overrated.
11:36I mean.
11:36Okay.
11:37No, no, no, no.
11:38Look.
11:38Oh, my God.
11:39Oh, my.
11:40I knew this was a mistake, so I think I'm just going to go.
11:43No, no, no.
11:43Don't let her leave.
11:45Stole her.
11:45I'm going to go.
11:46I'm really thinking.
11:47Hold on.
11:47I'm sorry.
11:49I'm not sorry.
11:50I just feel a little bit.
11:52Can I try again?
11:54I'm sorry I wasn't being honest with you.
11:56Stick to the plan.
11:58What are you doing?
11:59Okay.
12:03Brad.
12:05Chloe.
12:06Hello?
12:09Hello?
12:09I just, you know, you're somebody that I kind of, uh, have been watching and kind of...
12:16What is he saying?
12:18Sorry.
12:26He's got this.
12:29And I'm losing him.
12:34Nothing.
12:36Not a word.
12:38Guess it went well.
12:39He doesn't need me anymore.
12:45He's so funny.
12:47Yeah, that's all.
12:48Oh, my God.
12:48Thanks, man.
12:49Mm-hmm.
12:50What do you think you came?
12:52Oh, my God.
12:53What are you doing?
12:54What are you doing?
12:55Oh, hey, Mia.
13:00Hey.
13:05It's not what it looks like.
13:06Oh, really?
13:07Let me guess.
13:08You were just tutoring her in anatomy.
13:11Hey, come on.
13:12I'm sorry.
13:15Really?
13:17Okay, look.
13:18There's...
13:19Obviously, there's enough of me for all of you.
13:23Gotta learn to share.
13:24Oh, my God.
13:25Oh, my God.

13:38I just thought you were.
13:39But reality check?
13:42You're just another generic jock with a two-brain cell capacity and an expiration date.
13:48Yeah.
13:49And years from now, you'll just be that guy at the bar, washed up, talking about the high school games that nobody remembers.
13:56Right here, Dan.
13:59Right here, Dan.
13:59Right?
14:00This is your peak.
