What just happened?

You guys were supposed to...

I mean, you said

you wanted to...

It's Rob Cokran.

He doesn't deserve me.

Nonetheless, very shocking.

Sociopath, 12 o'clock.

Uh-oh.

Does it smell like pee in here?

Stop.

Norma Bates!

What?

Just don't.

But it's Juliet.

Exactly, it's Juliet.

She has a name

and she is a person.

Yesterday, you said

you were afraid

she would bite you

if she got too close.

That was a long time ago.

That was yesterday.

Hey, Linds.

All right, well, let's do this!

Linds.

What?

How come you never told me

about your parents' divorce?

Are you serious?

Yeah.

Why would I talk about something

that happened a thousand years ago?

Because it happened to you.

And you matter to me.

I don't know what

you're talking about.

Come here.

Okay? Let's go inside.

Come here.

You know you don't have to

act so tough all the time.

Mmm.

Don't worry about me, okay?

I love you no matter what.

Let's get inside.

Okay.

Move, move, move.

Hey, um, you made it.

Come with me.

What? Okay.

What?

I believe

you owe me a secret, right?

I believe I do.

Okay, so let's hear it.

The secret is

yours was the best kiss

that I've ever had

in my entire life.

Um...

But we haven't kissed.

I mean,

not since the third grade.

Better get started then.

I don't have much time.

What was that for?

Because I wanted to.

I love you.

Juliet, I need to talk to you.

Just for a second.

It's okay. Please?

Actually, I kind of have

somewhere I have to be.

I know what you have

planned for tonight

and I want you to know that you

don't have to do this. Okay?

You don't know anything.

I know that you have

something to tell me.

You have something

to tell all of us.

You're a b*tch.

I have been a b*tch.

I have been a b*tch. We all

have been b*tches, and I...

I'm sorry.

I have to go.

Listen to me. I'm trying

to tell you how sorry...

I am sorry.

You said that.

I'm sorry,

but I have to come with you.

Leave me alone!

I can't.

Sam! Sam!

Why did you run away from me? I

can't talk to you right now.

You've been ignoring me for

years, and then you...

You kiss me and then go back

to acting like I'm invisible?

I meant everything

that happened back there.

That's all I can say,

that I meant it,

and I wish it hadn't

taken me so long.

Sam, are you in trouble?

You can trust me.

You can trust me back.

Juliet!

Juliet!

Juliet!

Juliet!

Juliet, don't!

Wait! Wait!

Why? What's going on?

Why are you following me?

Why can't you leave me alone?

You don't want to die.

You want the pain to stop.

Stop. You stop.

You don't know me.

You could never understand.

You have a choice, Juliet.

Not everybody gets that.

Sam!

Please let me help you.

Don't you get it?

You can't help me.

I can't be fixed.

You're not the one

who needs fixing.

There is nothing wrong with you.

Don't let anyone tell you

that there is.

This is just a blip.

Your life will change, Juliet.

If you just hold on

for one more minute.

It's too late.

No, it's not.

It's never too late.

Juliet, stop!

Maybe for you

there's a tomorrow.

Maybe for you

there's 1,000 or 3,000

or 10.

But for some of us,

there's only today.

And what you do today matters.

In the moment

and maybe into infinity.

I see only my greatest hits.

I see the things

I want to remember.

And be remembered for.

That's when I realized that

certain moments go on forever.

Even after they're over,

they still go on.

They are the meaning.

Sam?

Sam?

You saved me.

No.

You saved me.
