attain anywhere else, but...

what if I'm unable to...

What if I'm unable

to form a human connection?

Raise your hand

if you can articulate the arguments

that Lona and I have been arguing today.

Now raise your hand if you can understand

what Jasmine and Dana have been saying.

They've been doing this all year,

just like us.

But they're nothing like us.

Because they didn't choose to focus

on the pressure to win that we did.

Instead they chose

something more important,

communicating.

Next year scares the sh*t out of me.

I don't know where I'll end up,

or what I'm going to do,

or what I'll become.

But as of right now...

I'm happy to be here.

And maybe it was all worth it,

just to see you two come in here

and free the robots.

So that we would stop

talking at each other,

and start talking to each other.

Thanks.

Thank you, everyone. This is it.

In a 2-1 decision,

your state champions,

from Washington High,

Jasmine Spencer and Dana Martinez.

Sometimes we lose.

Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to Debate Club.

The first rule of Debate Club is,

you do not talk about Debate Club.

The second rule of Debate Club is,

you do not talk about Debate Club.

The third rule is,

if someone yells "stop",

goes limp, or tags out,

the debate is over.

- Brad Pitt.

- In Fight Club.

Thank you, Taylor and Tanner.

Once more from the top.

The first rule of Debate Club is,

you do not talk about Debate Club.

I can feel you watching me, Mom.

Sorry for being excited for you.

- It's just another dance.

- It's your last dance.

It's prom.

I know you've been all grown up

ever since I gave birth to you,

but I hate to tell you this,

life after high school

is just a series of disappointments.

You always know just what to say.

'Cause I love you.

I love you, too.

Now let me finish getting ready, please.

The day has arrived

Fresh off the ironing board.

Oh, my gosh. Let me take a look at you.

Take pictures, okay?

- For you or your campaign?

- Hey.

Very funny. For you.

This is one of those life moments, right?

You're going to college for four years,

and two years of law school,

and then you're gonna be working

14-hour days in your 20s,

so you really just got...

Relax.

Relax.

Exactly.

Uh...

You want me to call a limo?

- Then you can have a driver.

- No.

- You could stay out all night.

- I don't need a limo.

I have a car that works.

I know.

I'll be home by midnight.

One o'clock is fine.

12:
30.

Here you go.

And congratulations.

You look good in red.

- It's crimson.

- Oh, shut up.

Congratulations to you.

I always thought

you were a bit of a Bulldog.

I didn't even know what their mascot was.

You're gonna go

to so many football games.

And so many parties.

Nah, not really.

One popcorn, one soda.

And during this evening's performance

will you be enjoying some candy?

Yes. We will have

some Reese's Pieces, please.

- And Milk Duds.

- And Whoppers.

- And let me get a KitKat.

- And Twizzlers.

- Let me get the Good and Plenty.

- And some Jolly Ranchers as well.

And that Mr. Goodbar.

Wait for it.

No. I am not eating

out of that sweaty hat

that's been on your sweaty head.

My head is not sweaty.

Your head is sweaty, and so is your hat.

- And now our candy is contaminated.

- Contaminated?

Absolutely,

at least on a microscopic level.

So by that rationale

we should never hold hands.

You don't want that.

No. You don't want that.

Look at him.

Look at that smug look on his smug face.

He thinks that we're a couple.

He thinks we have a thing going.

He has no sense that in just a few months

we'll go our separate ways,

probably lose contact,

gain the freshman 15,

and jump head first back into studying.

He thinks I actually like him.

Don't you, Bennett Russell?

You think I like you?

Well, damn it.

You might be right.

- Mm?

- Mm-hm.

- Yeah, I know. It's awesome.

- You want some?

I actually do want some.

Shut up.

Oh.
