for something in exchange

or using you to make her more popular?

- Or using you to bring her grades up?

That was the only reason

she came over after school.

It was our little secret.

I had a secret with Nella Kingsberry.

- I was her project.

She made sure I was on

the cool side of the table

as long as I kept pot in her pocket

so she looked cool at parties.

And she used me as a wing man, ironically,

for all the guys she knew I liked.

- I did awful things

with her in high school.

I wasted so much time

being her partner in crime.

I said terrible things to people.

- But you're not those people anymore.

High school is over, guys,

and no one wants to live

the rest of their lives

being remembered like that.

Look, I know that we live in a small town

and that everywhere we look feels like

an extension of high school,

but it doesn't mean we

have to let it be that way.

So who's with me?

Who wants to come with

me and help bring down

the infamous Nella Kingsberry?

- I'll go.

It should be me.

- Right, let's go then, Sarah.

We won't be long.

- Don't pretend that this isn't giving you

some sort of a thrill.

- What are you talking about?

- You have been waiting for this day

since my brother and

Nella started going out.

- I'm sick of listening to you.

- Why don't you go by Tammy Jane anymore?

- Do not call me that.

- Why, Tammy?

- I swear to God, Carly.

You stole my brother's

relationship with God.

- No, I didn't.

- And then you murdered his unborn child.

- I did not have an abortion, Carly.

- That's why he left you, isn't it?

- Shut up!

- You had to have known that

David would never end up

with trailer trash like you.

F***

you.

- TJ, can I talk to you?

- Why am I here?

Why did I agree to be a bridesmaid?

It's because I'm a f***ing

masochist, that's why.

F***ing masochist.

- Teej?

David is coming over here.

Carly called him and told

him to come join the party.

- When you gonna talk to her?

- I don't know.

Like when we get there

or find her or whatever.

- I mean TJ.

- TJ, I, I don't.

What are you trying to pull, Sarah?

I'm, it's too late.

I can't do that now.

- No, it's not.

- Yeah, it is.

I mean, she's still

clearly in love with David,

aka my best friend.

Besides, I don't think,

I'm not the kind of guy she needs anyways.

- You already have been, Drew.

Listen, she and David are over.

No matter what happens

with Nella and David,

TJ and David were always going

to be over at some point,

like so over.

Just give her a little bit of time,

but don't give up on her.

- I have given her time.

I've given her time and energy,

and I've given her a shoulder to cry on.

I mean, I feel like all I've done

is talk her through about

seven years of David.

I feel like that's enough time.

- But you haven't asked her out.

- So how did the night end after that?

- Whoo!

- Stay.

- Okay.

- You're making me spill, you guys.

Okay.

Carly's turn.

- No, I'm not playing.

- Go, Carly.

- Pick a card, Carly.

Pick a card.

- Five.

- Five, okay.

Five.

We are going to try to touch

our noses with our fingers,

and whoever doesn't do it loses, okay?

- What?

- On the count of three.

Ready?

One, two, three!

- Nella, you lose.

- Did I miss it?

- Oh, take a drink, Nella!

- Uh, whatever.

- Take a drink, take a drink,

take a drink.

- Cheersies.

- Cheers!

I'll drink with you.

- Mmm.

- Mmm, yum.

- This is pretty strong.

- Okay, TJ's turn.

- What's ace?

- Ooh, never have I ever!

Everybody put three fingers in the air.

- No.

- Yes, this is the fun part!

- No.

- So, we start with TJ, and

we each have to say something

that we have not done, okay?

And if anyone's done

it, they lose a finger.

- Drink that water, Nella.

- Oh.

- Never have I ever...

- This gonna be kind of hard

for us, right, Sarah?

Because of all of

our behavior in high school.

- Okay.

- Do you remember?

- Okay, keep goin', TJ.

- Never have I ever...

- Oh, my gosh!

Do you remember our game

with Coach Anderson?

- Okay, high school memory time is over.

- Never have I ever...

- Carly, can I ask you a question?

Have you lost weight?

You look really good.

- Thank you, Nella.

Yeah, I lost a couple of

sizes over the summer.

You're a size five, right?

- Enough, Nella.

- I wear size five, Sarah.

- You do?

- I do, mm-hmm, when

I wanna wear something

really, really, really,

really, really baggy,

like during my lady time.

- Yeah.

Yeah, mine are a little baggy, too.

- So, yeah, if you lose

a couple more pounds,

then we could share clothes, right?

- Yeah.

- Never have I ever, TJ.

What have you never done?

- There are moments in life

when you see your mortal enemy struggling,

and the sick satisfaction washes over you.

Then there are moments

you find yourself invited

to participate in the infliction.

I'd like to say I chose the

higher road, and when I'm old,

I can look back, pleased with myself,

but sometimes that's just

not the human response.

Never have I ever puked

up my food on purpose.

- Yeah, that was a good one.

- Hey, that's me.

- Oh, yeah, I forgot.

You went through that phase.

- Yeah, it was so stupid.

I had this friend that made...

I thought that was Carly.

- Jenny, it's your turn.

- Okay.

Never have I ever...

No, I totally did that.

- You did not!

You did not!

- Okay, okay.

Never have I ever

kissed a girl.

- Ew!

- Really?

- What?

- What?

- I was trying to tell you.

I had this friend fall

semester that I did, you know.

You know.

- I'm getting out of here.

- Oh, no.

- Excuse me.

- It's your turn.

- No, no, no. I am gonna go.

- Nella, you can't leave yet.

- Where my purse, guys?

- Yeah, you have to stay until you play,

and it's your turn.

- I'm leaving.

It's late.

I have to go.

- It's

your

turn.

- Fine, um,

never have I ever been to New York.

There you go!

- Boo!

That doesn't count.

- Oh!

- Again!

- I don't know.

Okay.

Never have I ever done my own homework.

- Try again.

- I'm all out of ideas, okay?

I don't know.

- Hmm, here I'll help you, okay?

Never have I ever cheated on my fiance.

- Really?

Never have I ever cheated on my fiance.

Where's my purse?

- Hey, cut the sh*t!

We know.

- Could you be

a little more specific?

I don't know what you're talking about.

- You know damn well

what we're talking about.

- Mmm...

Oh, you know what?

Actually, my ride is almost here,

so I need my purse now!

- Wait, what ride?

I thought I was your ride.

Why am I sober right now?

- I didn't want to ruin

your fun, so I got a car.

- I

am

Sober.

I can drive.

- Nella, look at me.

- No!

You're just gonna look at me

with your emotastic eyes, okay?

Let me tell you, that look?

It's over.

It's over, just like your

relationship with my fiance.

- You know what else is over, Nella?

High school.

- Good one.

Awesome.

Ten points.

Did they teach you those

comebacks at Stanford?

- You're dodging the subject, Nella.

Why are you cheating on David?
