I can't pick one Headlight

over another.

Just can't.

But there's no

one else like me, Garrett.

And deep down, you know it.

You know, I honestly don't know

what I know anymore, FanGirl.

Except that you're

all out there.

And that makes me feel

like I'm home.

Okay, imagine,

like, living in this world.

And having to actually, like,

fight these goblins.

Just on a daily basis.

It's really good.

It's the worst date food

ever, right?

I didn't want to say anything,

but it is!

Oh! What was I thinking?

Gosh! No, no, no. It's

really delicious.

I know.

Really good.

I love it.

That's why I come here, but...

I'm an idiot.

Yeah.

But the good kind.

Okay, so, what the f***

is hydrology?

Um, it is the, uh...

the part of fluid mechanics

that tries to make sense

of how liquids, gasses and

plasmas react to applied forces.

You say "plasmas" so casually.

Most people I know

use plasmas to blast aliens.

Well, you say "aliens"

so casually.

True.

Are you with anyone?

Lately it kind of feels

like I'm with everyone.

If that makes any sense.

Yeah.

Just haven't found

the one yet, huh?

I don't even know

if there is a one.

I mean, yes, of course,

to control the Matrix.

Mm-hmm.

You know, but...

Yeah, but, you... you don't think

there's such a thing as true love?

Yeah. Yeah, I do.

But is it forever?

I don't know.

Do you only get one?

Well, more than one

would be complicated.

Sorry. Excuse me, I...

And what are you doing?

Texting Number Two?

No, you... you gave me

an idea for a bit.

So, we all have this mythology

that there's, like, one perfect

person out there for us.

Mm-hmm. But what if

there's, like, five?

Five?

Yes.

So you could have, like, four...

Four perfect girlfriends,

but you still need

a number five!

Sorry, hang on.

So this... this is where

it all happens.

So... the "Rule."

Is that real?

Uh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

It's real.

You wouldn't go out

with one of those girls?

It just...

It doesn't feel right,

like it would be taking

advantage somehow.

That girl, who sent you

her panties every week?

And um...

FanGirl on the livestream?

Y-you're not tempted?

I don't know what they want.

Maybe just to make you happy.

They don't even know me!

What don't they know?

Well...

not that much, actually.

You okay with all this?

What do you mean?

You know, if you get

involved with me,

you get involved in all this.

My whole life,

it gets likes and comments.

So you think

we are getting involved.

I like you.

Yeah?

Yeah, you seem real.

I am real.

Good morning.

Yeah. Yeah, it is.

I knew it would be.

I told you rules

were made to be broken.

What do you mean?

Oh, come on. You're telling

me you didn't know?

Know what?

Hey, Garrett. I'm in your head again...

and in your bed.

What the hell are you doing?

Being me.

I'm sorry, um...

I'm kinda freaking out here.

You really didn't know?

No!

Jesus, no! FanGirl lives

in... in Chicago!

Not anymore. I moved here.

I quit school, and I moved

here, and I took that job

so we could do this

with no rules.

You... you what? I'm sorry?

You can't tell me

it wasn't good.

No, that... that was f***ed up.

Is you name even

really Michelle?

Of course it is.

I didn't lie to you.

I-I just told you some truths

you didn't know yet.

What?

Listen, y-you gotta go. Sorry.

Are you kidding me?

No, seriously. You gotta

get the f*** outta here.

Why? Because you

f***ing stalked me.

No. I met you.

How else was I supposed

to meet you, Garrett?

I don't know. Honestly?

How?

You had a rule,

and if... if I didn't

do something,

we would never

have had last night.

Last night was bullshit.

You know that's not true.

You felt something.

I know you did.

Actually, I don't know

what the f*** I felt.

Okay?

Then why don't we figure it out?

Sometimes people

just click, Garrett.

And you can't make

rules for that.

Knock, knock!

Dude, you're not up?

We brought coffee!

What happened to the clock?

This was our special

time together.

Nice almost meeting you.

You, too.

Take care.

You know, sometime soon,

you're going

to regret this, Garrett.

And when that happens,

just know that I'm waiting.

Okay?

Goodbye, Michelle.

Yeah.

I don't know, bro.

I mean...

what'd she do wrong exactly?

So you met online. How's that

any different than Tinder?

Because only one

of us signed up.

Love that doesn't listen.

You like her.

I mean, you guys have been

talking for, what, a year?

You texted.

She... sexted you.

What's your point, Lyle?

Did you ever tell her to stop?

Can we just get to work?

Yeah?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Hey, it's Garrett.

Do what you gotta do.

Garrett, listen.

I'm in the top two percentile.

Me and all of my friends.

And we're all so f***ed up.

And nobody cares, just as long as

you're perfect on the outside.

I was going

to kill myself, Garrett.

I went to this guy

who sold pills,

and when I got there...

he was watching

your live stream.

And you were just...

connecting with all

of these people.

You didn't give a f***

what anyone thought.

You were just... connecting.

It didn't matter what

grade you got or...

Or who was going

to stop loving you.

So instead of taking the pills,

I started coming

on the stream as FanGirl.

And then last month,

I decided we had to meet.

We had to see

what it would be like.

Because you saved

my life, Garrett.

I know you have a rule,

but I also know

that I'm in love with you.

And last night,

I think you let yourself

be in love with me, too.

Just a little.

And last

night, I think you let yourself

be in love with me, too.

Just a little.

Call me. Okay?

Do I have a raging

marionette doll fetish?

Yes, I do.

Am I in therapy for it?

Yes, I am.

My therapist recommends having

as many one-night stands

as possible

to help cure me

of my puppet perversion,

but I can't, I won't. I just...

I could never be with a

girl, no strings attached.

It's been a week

Since I've seen you smile

Leaving your heart

outside my room

How ya doing?

Hi, yeah, you were great.

Thank you. Wasn't he?

Wasn't he awesome?

Yeah, he's awesome.

Stop it, guys.

But seriously, more.

How... did you... you're

not... I loved it.

Don't make me feel this way

Told my heart

It should stay

Okay. Really?

Don't make me feel this way

I'm just going to go use

the restroom.

Let me go,

let me go, let me go

Oh, let me go,

let me go, let me go

Oh

Let me go

Whoa! Hello.

Hi. How are you?

I'm good now.

Hey, hold up. I'm not exactly

a bathroom kinda guy.

I am so drunk.

Really?

I'll, uh...

I'll take you home.

Whoa! Come on.

F***ing man-eaters

everywhere I turn.

Eat me! You're not gonna

eat me today!

Everywhere.

Okay, please, God.

Zombies.

All up in it.

Alright, where are we now?

It's dark. I can't...

really see anything

in this hallway.

Okay.

I see some sort of light.

It's like a...

A doorway.

Boo!

Oh, what the f***?

I said "hello" like ten times.

I didn't...
