Dude, David!

What can we

do with these?

Anything.

Oh, my God.

QUINN:
David,

you're the man!

We're backstage right now.

We are backstage right now.

I can't believe

you did this.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

I got a surprise coming.

I got a surprise for her.

Listen, listen.

SINGER:
This song goes out

to Jessie Pierce.

(JESSIE GASPS)

(CROWD CHEERING)

Dude, that was sick!

Okay, okay. You guys,

I've got an idea.

Just do what I do, okay?

Follow me!

(CROWD CHEERING)

Hey, how are you?

(SINGING)

DAVID:
No way.

Bend your knees.

Just bounce.

Like this or something?

Loosen up a little bit.

Just, like do this,

and you'll look like

a cool guy.

He's dancing! (LAUGHING)

DAVID:
Is that good?

(JESSIE LAUGHING)

JESSIE:
Yeah!

ADAM:
Whoo!

Whoo!

(QUINN GRUNTING)

Whoo!

QUINN:
That's my boy!

That's my boy!

I'm number one!

JESSIE:
That was so much fun.

This is the best day ever.

I can't believe it.

Thank you so much

for taking us.

She's really cool, David.

DAVID:
Who?

Jessie, the girl you've been

freaking spying on

for five minutes.

DAVID:
What?

(JESSIE SCREAMING)

DAVID:
Where'd you go?

Whoo!

Ahh!

DAVID:
Oh! Hey.

JESSIE:
Hi.

This is awesome.

DAVID:
Yeah.

(JESSIE LAUGHING)

(SONG ENDING)

(CROWD CHEERING)

SINGER:
(OVER SPEAKER)

Thank you very much.

DAVID:
Best friends, man.

ADAM:
My best friends.

CHRIS:
Oh, my God,

he's actually gonna go for it.

DAVID:
Hey. How's it going?

JESSIE:
Hey!

DAVID:
This is harder

than it looks, huh?

To write something.

JESSIE:
What would you do?

DAVID:
Um...

"Before the world ends,

I want to dance the

night away."

That's pretty

dumb actually.

Hey, I wrote that one.

I mean, it's okay.

It's not that dumb.

I just...

David, I'm messing with you.

DAVID:
Oh.

JESSIE:
Oh.

This is a good one.

"Before the world ends,

I have to run naked

"through the streets."

DAVID:
Hmm.

Are you picturing me

naked now?

No.

Really?

Not even a little?

Some. A whole lot.

I don't know...

What's the right answer?

You'll never know. Oh!

MAN:
Sorry, dude!

DAVID:
No problem.

JESSIE:
Check it out!

"Before the world ends,

I have to time travel."

"Before the world ends,

I have to win the lottery."

Two for two.

"Before the world ends,

I have to tell

those b*tches off?"

Oh, yeah, my sister

probably wrote that.

I think she did.

Don't mind her.

She has a bad attitude.

I think we've almost crossed

everything off this list, huh?

I think we're just

getting started.

"Before the world ends,

I have to fall in love."

(SNIFFS)

Probably not the worst thing

you could wish for, right?

No.

Probably better than owning

your own monkey or something.

Probably, yeah.

"Before the world ends,

I wanna go skydiving."

Yeah, that's

a good one, too.

Totally. I heard

it's really fun.

I'm going to go

grab a water.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, all right.

You know what,

I'll be right here.

I'll wait.

Oh, my God.

The world is ending.

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

How'd it go?

What?

With Jessie.

What with Jessie?

We were just talking!

CHRIS:
Seriously, David?

She left the door wide open.

No, no, she didn't.

She never even...

What are you guys

talking about?

It's okay.

It's all right, man.

Let's have fun.

Let's just have fun.

It's all right.

I'm burning up.

We gotta go. Okay?

I mean, we gotta go.

I'm gonna get some water.

We gotta go soon!

(LAUGHTER)

(ADAM GROANING)

What happened

to your shirt?

We were there

for nine hours!

But we were only gone

for 41 seconds!

Dr. Lou still thinks

I'm on my bathroom break!

(QUINN LAUGHING)

Oh, my God!

QUINN:
Oh, my God!

That was the best!

CHRIS:

Best day of my life!

That was the most

fun I've ever had

in my entire life!

I love you.

Yeah!

QUINN:
Whoo!

CHRIS:
David?

What?

CHRIS:
You're not

gonna believe it.

What are you talking about?

CHRIS:
Just go, come on.

You'll see.

Hey, Mom, so how

was work today?

It's been a long day,

sweetheart.

What?

When did she get a job?

Literally, check this out...

4,000 likes.

ADAM:
Let me see.

4,000. Yeah, I have 18,000

Instagram followers.

Texts from 20 different girls,

half, like, "Quinn,

oh, my God, please call me."

ADAM:
Show me the texts.

Dude, I swear to God,

I'll show you.

What up? So I talked

to you-know-who.

Got one for you,

one for Adam,

one for me

and one for Andre.

You're down, right?

Uh, yeah, totally down.

Good. Wear your black skirt.

You look hot in that.

ADAM:
You and Sarah

Nathan are hanging out?

What's that about?

Dude, literally no idea,

but since we got back,

she's been acting batshit,

like we're best friends

or something.

I don't know what happened.

It's insane.

Have you guys seen Jess?

Uh, yeah, but you know what?

I think she just said

that she's really busy

or something.

I wouldn't read

too much into it.

I'm kicking your butt.

Three, two, one.

(BELL DINGING ON TV)

(LAUGHING)

You're kidding me.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

CHRIS:
Whatever, I quit.

I'm inherently good

at video games.

All right, who's next?

Hey, you don't want

to play?

No, I'm kind of tired.

Really?

JESSIE:
Yeah.

DAVID:
Taking off?

JESSIE:
Yep.

DAVID:
Okay, cool, cool.

Look, uh...

Hey, can I... Can I talk to

you for just one second?

JESSIE:
Yeah, sure.

DAVID:
Um...

Did we have some kind of,

like a moment?

Wasn't that a moment

the other day at the

wall, and...

I don't know. I mean,

it was a really fun day.

It was cool, right?

And when you said

that one thing,

and I kind of...

I don't know, there were

so many people around,

I wasn't really thinking.

I didn't expect you...

I didn't expect someone like

you to really say that to me.

What do you mean,

someone like me?

You're like, fun,

and you go out to parties

and, like, hang out

and all that kind

of crazy stuff.

That's it.

I mean, you don't care

about that important sh*t.

You just have fun.

I'm sorry, I didn't

mean to say that.

No, no, I know

what you meant.

It's fine.

Whatever moment

you thought,

you know, happened,

you should probably

just forget about it,

I think.

Okay.

Some things just aren't

meant to be, you know?

You don't have to

film everything, Chris.

QUINN:
You wanna

play some foosball?

DAVID:
No.

(PEOPLE CHEERING ON LAPTOP)

JESSIE:
That was so much fun.

This is the best day ever.

I can't believe it.

"...I have to run naked

through the streets."

DAVID:
Hmm.

Are you picturing me

naked now?

DAVID:
No.

Oh!

MAN:
Sorry, dude!

DAVID:
No problem.

"Before the world ends,

I have to fall in love."

"Before the world ends,

I wanna go skydiving."

"Before the world ends,

I have to fall in love."

"...I have to fall in love."

"...love." "...love."

"...love."

"Before the world ends,

I wanna go skydiving."

JESSIE:
Yeah,

that's a good one, too.

DAVID:
Totally.

I heard it's really fun.

JESSIE:
I'm gonna go

grab a water.

DAVID:
You know what,

I'll be right here. I'll wait.
