Date with Love

Hollywood extra

is coming to you live

from the red carpet

for the world premiere

of Alex Allen's

"heart full of wind."

Now let's hand it off

to Jeremy Mitchell,

who's in the middle

of all the star-studded action.

Thanks, Michelle.

What an exciting night!

Every celebrity in Hollywood

must be here.

And look,

here comes America's sweetheart,

miss Alex Allen!

Alex, congratulations

on the premiere

of your new film,

"heart full of wind."

Tell us what made you

want to make this movie.

Well, I love romance.

"Heart full of wind"

tells the story

of two lonely people

who are afraid of

opening up their hearts,

but they learn

to trust each other

and love one another

for who they really are.

And your co-star

in this film, of course,

your very handsome boyfriend,

Mr. Colin hartling.

Now, we have heard rumors

that there's trouble

in paradise.

Any comment?

Oh, you know how rumors

travel in Hollywood,

so let me set

the story straight.

Colin and I are

very much in love.

Uh-huh,

so where are you hiding him

tonight?

Well, he's right...

Well...

He was right here

a minute ago.

Excuse me.

Sure.

As you can see,

Alex Allen...

Alex!

Alex, Alex, right here!

Hi.

Sorry to interrupt.

Alex, you know

Rebecca havercroft.

Of course.

How are you, Rebecca?

Alex.

We were just discussing

the possibility of me being

in Rebecca's next picture.

Oh! Really?

I think Colin is wonderful

in your little movies, Alex,

but I'm sure he'd like to try

some serious acting

sometime, too.

Excuse me a minute.

She's adorable.

May I?

So, as I was saying...

Go find your own co-star.

What did you

do that for?

Oh, come on. Like she was

really just interested in you

for your acting?

You don't think

I'm a good actor?

Colin...

Let's not do this here.

No, you know,

maybe it's time

I moved on.

To what?

Before you started dating me,

you were making

dog food commercials.

And now I'm a star.

You know, I don't need you

anymore, Alex.

What? Wait.

Are you breaking up with me

on the red carpet?

Goodbye, Alex.

Colin, you said you loved me!

Guess what...

I was acting!

We still love you, Alex!

Alex, Alex...

All the world's a stage...

And all the men and women

are merely players.

At least,

that's what our friend

Mr. Shakespeare said.

What he really means

is that we all play roles.

We have our public faces,

the faces we share

with our friends and family,

and then we have

the one true private face,

the face we only share

with ourselves in the mirror.

Yes, David?

What if you don't like

what the mirror says?

Sorry, I can't help you

out there, David.

My specialty is English.

All right, guys,

remember your homework

for tomorrow.

Chapter eight.

See you tomorrow.

Courtney!

Oh!

Hi, Dennis.

Actually, it's David.

I was...

Okay.

Whatever.

Do you want something?

Yeah, um...

I was just wondering,

since the prom's coming up,

and I was just wondering

if you wanted to go...

With me.

Me?

With you?

You mean, together?

Yeah.

I already have a date.

Oh.

Yeah, so...

Right, yeah.

Um...

Well, maybe I'll see you there,

then, okay, right?

Yeah. Right.

Or maybe not.

That went well.

Shut up, watts.

Look, Rogers,

no pressure,

but there's only

a week until prom.

So who's left

on your list?

Nobody.

Courtney was

the last one, and...

This has been

a disaster, watts.

I mean, I've asked

every girl in school,

and they've all said no.

What am I going to do?

Hey, why do you even want to go

to the stupid prom, anyways?

It's just an archaic ritual

designed to force us to conform

to society's expectations

for the rest of our lives.

It's also the last

chance I have

to make a mark

at this school.

And that is

important why?

Because

for the last four years,

nobody at this school

has paid any attention

to me at all.

Aw, thank you.

I mean, you had to.

I mean, we've been friends

since first grade.

Come on, I'm talking

about everybody else.

To them, I don't even

exist at this school.

I want to be remembered

for something

more than just...

Being... me.

Look,

I hate

to break it to you, Rogers,

but I don't think having

Courtney Cornell

or any other member

of her bubble-head brigade

on your arm

is going to do anything.

In fact, we are so far

down the social ladder

in this school,

that taking a movie star

like Alex Allen to the prom

wouldn't even help.

- Heidi watts?

- What?

You are brilliant!

I'm afraid to ask why.

I'm going to invite

Alex Allen to the prom!

Great.

And look, here comes

America's sweetheart,

miss Alex Allen!

Alex!

Congratulations...

- Gentlemen.

- Hey. Mr. Walsh.

...on the premiere

of your new film,

"heart full of wind..."

Remember tomorrow's

homework, David.

I don't want to hear

that your dog ate it again.

Hey, Mr. Walsh!

Wait up!

You're good

with words, right?

I like to think so.

Well, I'm having

a little bit of trouble

writing something.

What kind of writing?

Oh, a promposal.

A what?

You know, like a formal

invitation to the prom.

Ah... prom.

Proposal.

Prom-posal.

That's very clever.

Right?

Except I'm kind of having

a hard time with it.

I want it to sound romantic,

but not too...

Mushy.

Well, the first thing

I would do

is make an observation

about your object of affection

that no one else can.

Something... insightful,

but not too...

Creepy stalker-ish?

Yes, exactly.

Right.

Can...

Can you keep a secret?

Yeah?

No way,

this is you!

In my prior life.

I wasn't always

an English teacher, you know.

I didn't know

you wrote poetry!

It's not exactly something

I want to spread

around the school,

but...

Maybe it will give you

some inspiration.

Thanks, Mr. Walsh!

Good luck

with that promposal.

Mr. Walsh!

Did I hear you mention

the prom?

Uh, yes.

Was just helping out

one of the kids.

Mm-hmm.

Well, as your fellow

prom committee member,

save me a dance.

Hollywood starlet

Alex Allen

has a red-carpet meltdown,

and it's all caught on tape!

Are you breaking up

with me on the red carpet?

Goodbye, Alex.

Colin, you said you loved me!

So, Meghan,

what do you think?

Is this the end...

Alex?

You never know, Brian.

Hollywood is always...

Alex, honey,

you can't stay in here forever.

Why?

Nobody cares about me.

I do.

You have to.

You're my publicist.

I am also

your best friend,

and you're Alex Allen.

You're a huge movie star.

You've got the number one

romantic comedy in the country

right now.

Yep, I can fall in love

on-screen,

but every romance I've ever had

ends in disaster.

Okay, so you've had

a few bumps along the way

with the men

that you've dated.

No, Paige...

I haven't dated them,

they've dated me,

and only because

I'm famous.

Nobody wants me

for who I really am.

That is not true.

You have millions of fans

out there

who love you

just the way you are.

Oh, yeah?

Have you checked

the Internet recently?

"Alex Allen,

a star has fallen."

"Alex Allen,

is it really over?"
