Nerve Page #2

---

What the hell's so urgent?

We have to go

to colonnade diner.

- We have 15 minutes.

- Why? What's going on?

I signed up for nerve and

that's where my first dare is.

What do you mean?

You signed up as a player?

Oh, man.

What?

Is that so hard to believe?

You know that some kid supposedly

died in Seattle playing nerve?

Oh, I don't buy that.

If kids were dying,

the game would be shut down.

No, they can't shut it down.

There's not a single server.

What does that mean?

Everybody that logs

onto the game

becomes a new server.

So it's impossible

to turn the game off.

How do you even know

so much about this game?

You've never even played.

Look, I spend a lot of time

on the dark web, all right?

Oh, a lot of time

on the dark web?

Is that right, hacker boy?

Yes, that is right.

You're only accessing

10% of the Internet, you know.

Why are you even doing this?

Seriously, it's dangerous.

Is it because of Sydney?

This is not about Sydney.

I'm...

It's just not like you.

That's the point.

Kiss a stranger for five seconds?

A stranger?

Vee, I'll give you $100.

Okay, okay.

You're just gonna

kiss some random person?

Oh...

He has a girlfriend.

Hi.

Ugh!

Just kiss that guy.

Okay. I'm gonna

kiss that guy.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Gonna do it.

Or that guy.

He reads.

Well, make a choice.

Clock's ticking.

Hey.

Hey.

I'm kissing that guy.

Okay, you sit here.

Tell me when

you're rolling, 'Kay?

'Kay, it's

mission impossible now?

Just go.

To the lighthouse,

that's my favorite book.

Really?

Please, tell me they get

to the lighthouse in the end.

Um...

Actually, don't tell me.

Uh... okay,

just tell me real quick.

Yeah, they do, but that's...

That's not really

what it's about.

The lighthouse means something

different to each

of the characters.

It basically represents

the thing

they want most in life.

And I'm sorry that I'm totally

geeking out and ruining the story.

No, I was the one who asked.

Um...

One

Mississippi, two Mississippi,

three Mississippi, four

Mississippi, five Mississippi.

Done.

Done.

Done.

Okay.

Okay, bye.

I can't believe I just did that!

Shut up! Oh. Gosh,

why am I embarrassed?

Did you get it?

Yeah, it was a miniseries.

I got all six episodes.

Where did he go?

I have no clue.

"Vee, $100 has been

wired to your account."

Should I check?

Should totally check.

What is he doing?

I have no clue.

He's singing to me.

No, it's a dare.

It's a dare.

You got it.

Thank you.

Good job.

You won your dare.

Congratulations.

Back at ya.

Mine was totally embarrassing,

but, hey, at least

I got 100 bucks, right?

I'm sorry.

I promise I didn't know

what was comin'. You mind?

Sorry, I'm sitting here.

They just told me to sit

in that booth and... sorry.

Um... some kid came by

and gave me that book.

To the lighthouse,

yeah, my favorite.

Exactly. Because

it's on your Facebook page.

They know all the information

about you, Vee.

Your name's Vee?

Short for Venus.

I like that.

Well, her parents, they named

her after the goddess of love.

There's a Roman myth.

Yeah, I guess my mom

was expecting somebody else.

I dunno about that.

That was some kiss.

I got a game to play.

But good night to you guys.

Thank you.

What?

Apparently, the watchers

like us together.

I mean, you can't even

go to the city, right?

You know, I can't go

to the city, yeah.

I'm not even playing,

I was just doing one dare.

You sure? It's 200 bucks.

Uh...

She's pretty sure, man.

He always tell you what to do?

No. No, he doesn't.

I'm gonna be outside

if you change your mind.

It's nice to meet you, Vee.

See ya, man.

He thought that

those were our fries.

I could use 200 bucks.

Vee, you're not going

to the city.

You said one dare.

I'm sorry.

You know what?

Charles Manson was a singer.

I was hoping you'd come.

I'm just warning you, I don't think

I'd make a very good partner.

I'm not the daredevil type.

You should team up with

my friend Sydney, actually.

She's obsessed

with playing nerve.

But the watchers want me

to team up with you.

The second I feel

uncomfortable, I'm out.

That's fair.

Okay.

Hold on.

I just have to

go to the bathroom.

Oh, my god.

Excuse me, ladies?

Ladies?

Hey, where are you going?

Please, let me fart on you.

Please!

Oh, my god, oh, my god!

Oh, my god.

It's going up so fast!

I know.

Who's your favorite player?

Well, I mean,

I was gonna say you, but...

Now I don't know.

Is that Vee?

Yeah, she's playing nerve and she

has, like, a lot of watchers.

Oh, my god, girl!

Hey, try screaming.

No. Just do it. Let it out!

There you go.

All right, this is it.

Am I supposed

to come in with you?

Uh...

Doesn't say anything about that.

Well, thank you for the lift.

You gonna be okay?

Yeah, yeah, no, I'm...

I'm tired,

so I'm probably just gonna

make my way back home.

Um...

This was fun.

Yeah.

I just gotta... you know.

Okay.

You got three more steps.

If you keep up the exercises,

you're gonna get

really strong on that.

Excellent.

Thanks, miss.

Somebody's sending Vee money.

White people problems.

What is she doing?

And you have your receipt.

So thank you so much

for shopping at Bergdorf's.

You have a wonderful day.

Excuse me. Um... sorry.

Do you know where I can

find this dress?

Your mom's calling.

Sh*t!

That's very expensive.

Couture. Fourth floor.

Thanks.

Please, don't undress

the mannequin.

Sorry.

Would you like to try this on?

Mmm-hmm.

Let me see if

I have it in your size.

Thank you.

If you could hurry up,

I'm a little bit late

for a party.

Cute.

Okay. Right this way.

If you need anything else,

just let me know.

- Okay, thank you.

- Oh. All right.

Okay. Dressed.

Hello?

Everything okay?

Everything is great, thank you.

Hey. What's your email number?

I mean your...

What's your info?

Oh, this? This old thing?

Vee!

Oh.

Hey.

Hi.

You, uh...

You look very pretty.

Thanks. So do you.

I mean you look, you know,

hot, or handsome or...

Do you know what we're

supposed to do now?

The watchers would like me

to complete your ensemble,

mademoiselle.

Neither. Is that an option?

All right, how 'bout

my firstborn son, too? Yeah?

What are you doing, Vee?

How much are they, sir?

That'll be $900, madam.

Oh, in that case, I'll take two.

One for the city

and one for the Hamptons.

Excellent choice, mademoiselle.

I'll wrap them up for you

right away.

Um, I'll see ya downstairs?

Uh... yeah, sure.

Okay. All right.

What?

Oh, excuse me, miss!

Did you move

my clothes in there?

Of course not.

This is not happening.

This is not happening.

Vee?

Vee?

Ian.

Hey.

Did you take my stuff? I mean,

my wallet, my clothes.

Everything's gone.

No, my stuff is gone, too.

No.

Okay, um...

No. No.

Come on, we have to

make a run for it.

Come on, let's go.

I am not shoplifting!

We don't have a choice.

Come on!

Okay, technically,

it just says

we have to leave the store.

Right?
