- How so?

- You just are.

- Listen, I'm

seeing someone now.

What about that

don't you understand?

- You're seeing someone else?

- That's what I f***ing said.

- Claire?

And how is that going

for you, by the way?

Are you gonna come

with us on Saturday

to watch her boyfriend

score some baskets?

- Go f*** yourself.

Here's your f***ing discount.

Don't ever f***ing

call me again.

- You look

beautiful for the dance.

- Thank you.

- Is this like forever?

- Matthew!

- I'm good.

- Call for help!

Close your eyes.

Open.

- Oh!

- What's that?

- Panda.

- Okay, what about this one?

It's okay, we'll move on.

What about this?

- Grey wolf.

- Perfect, good job!

Jimmy.

Jimmy, what's wrong?

- I want to be that.

- Oh, sweetie.

It's okay.

- Claire.

Claire, are you awake?

- And how did you find out?

- Instagram.

She found me and messaged me.

- Why?

- What do you mean "why?"

She was f***ing Steve, too.

And apparently for a while.

And when she found

he had a girlfriend,

she was really pissed off.

I just don't get it, all this

time he seemed so genuine.

And my parents loved him.

Three f***ing years?

Three, Claire, and we like

talked about marriage a lot.

How do you talk about spending

your whole f***ing life

with somebody and then f***ing

someone else on the side?

It doesn't make the

slightest bit of sense.

How can I have been so stupid?

- What can I do?

- Come with me.

I can't do this.

- You can.

You can do anything you want.

You're free.

- I love you.

- I love you, too.

- He's an animal.

- I agree.

Why don't you come

out with me tonight?

- Where?

- To Jason's,

he's having a huge party.

- I don't even think I

feel like going out now.

- Come on, it's Halloween.

Everybody goes out on Halloween.

I don't wanna go alone,

and you are the most

beautiful girl I know.

Hey, Liz.

- Have you heard

from Jen or Lacey today?

- No, I haven't.

- Oh my god,

they're such sluts.

- They've probably just been

out and then went to class.

- Yeah, but they usually

come home and shower first.

Oh well, I thought I'd

just check with you.

- Yeah, sorry.

- It's okay.

- I'm sure they're fine.

- Okay, whatever.

I'll see you tonight.

- Okay, see you tonight.

Here you are.

I can tell, I can tell

- Jen?

This will be

My last date with you

- Jen, can you hear me?

I know you're

gonna make me blue

My heart is trembling

through and through

'Cause I know very well

I can tell, I can tell

This will be

- Claire.

Come in.

- Is this a bad time?

- Absolutely not.

What's up?

- I'm

switching my major.

- Pardon?

- I'm switching my major.

- I'm confused, Claire.

- I don't wanna do

psychology anymore.

- And why is that?

- I don't know.

- That isn't very sound logic.

- I've just been lost

in my head a lot lately.

I can't focus during lectures,

and I'm sure you've noticed.

- So, you're having

trouble focusing

and now you just

wanna jump ship?

- It's more than that.

- You're the top of your class.

- Mr. Pal--

- You're exceptionally bright.

- That's not--

- You have a deeper

understanding of people.

You have a gift.

- I don't.

- Claire, you need to think

about what you're saying.

- I have, I've done a

lot of thinking lately.

It's over.

- Okay and what about

the three years,

all the time you've put in?

- I feel like I've been

running for so long

I've forgotten

what's chasing me.

I don't even know if

college is right for me.

- Claire, are you okay?

- Yes.

- Did something happen?

I mean, your hands are shaking.

- No, I'm fine.

- You're positive?

- Yes.

- Well, then...

I wish you luck.

And I just want you to know

that it's been an absolute

pleasure having you

as one of my students.

- Thank you.

- And one thing, before you go.

Your paper, the

best I've ever read,

but it's incomplete.

- How is it incomplete?

- Forgot to tell

us what happens to the boy.

Is that what this is about?

- I have to go.

- Do you wanna dance with me?

- Hey.

We need you tomorrow.

Look, I know the NCAA

really f***ed up this year

by pushin' the

season up one week,

but we need a win.

- I know.

- We open against Irvine,

for Christ's sake,

on Halloween weekend.

What a f***in' debacle.

- We'll be ready.

- We need a win.

- I know.

- Don't go drinkin' tonight.

I need you to be 100%.

We need a win!

- I'll be in bed by 10, coach.

- You're a lyin' son

of a b*tch, Jason,

but I appreciate the sentiment.

Jason?

- We need a win!

I got it, coach.

- God damn right we need a win.

Irvine, for f***'s sake.

What a debacle.

- Oh, f***.

I know we had a quarrel

- Jen?

But all sweethearts do

- Jen?

Hello?

I gave my

- Jen?

Hello?

Is anyone here?

Jen?

Hello?

Hey.

Starin' out the window

Waitin' for life to stop

'Cause everythin'

I've been through

Never seems to let up

- Yo, take it easy.

Someone ask me why

I feel like I feel

Take pill after pill

- Claire.

- You scared?

- No.

I don't know the

fake from the real

The way you can steal

from the things are I killed

When I signed my life away

Girl you know I want this

And I know you need it

- What's wrong?

- Nothin', babe.

- What?

- I'm just not in the mood.

- What do you mean,

"in the mood?"

- Just, give me one sec.

- I'm sorry, do you want

me to call a friend?

- What?

- That way you

could f*** us both.

- Wait, what the f***?

- Favor for a favor, that's

what you like, right?

- F*** you.

- I'm gonna go.

- You always do, anyway.

- What the f*** is

your problem today?

- This!

This whole situation.

- There's no situation.

- Yeah, it looks like it.

- What's that supposed to mean?

- Nothing.

- Nothing?

- It's just, look at you.

Your hair's a mess,

your makeup's running.

You look like you've

been crying all day.

And then you come over and you

just wanna do blow and f***?

Like this is normal to you?

- Normal?

- You're a mess.

- I had a long day.

I wanted to come

over here and relax

and not worry for once, okay?

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah.

- Does your boyfriend

know where you are?

- I guess I'm gonna leave that.

- Claire.

- No.

- Just sit down for one second.

- No, it's fine.

- Sit down for one

f***ing second.

- Let go, let go!

- Claire, sit down!

- Let go of me, stop it!

- Jesus!

Fine, there!

I'm sorry!

Do you know how

long I've liked you?

Since Freshman year,

back in San Raf.

Street 1201, do

you remember that?

- Don't pretend that

you care about me.

- Excuse me?

- Don't pretend, you

got what you wanted.

- I'm telling you.

- You and I both are

the same type of person.

- How's that?

- Just want what we want, we

don't care about the cost.

- You're wrong, Claire.

So wrong.

- How?

- I like you.

Claire, you're, you're

smart, you're beautiful.

We have more fun stayin' in

and eatin' Chinese food, and,

I wanna be with you, Claire.

Why won't you be with me?

- Well, it was fun

while it lasted.

- What?

That's it?

No.

- I should go.

- Claire, just wait a minute.
