my dead body to be here with you.

Thanks, I'm not interested in Josh.

I should take you home.

- Yeah, you should.

- Yeah.

But...

I'm not ready to say goodnight.

What do you want to do?

Careful. I can't swim.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Show me how?

Yeah.

Come here.

You got to know how to float

and kick, so lean back.

Yeah... very important.

You're a natural.

- Like that?

- Yeah.

The side's right here.

That's easy.

It's okay. I want you to.

Wait, wait.

We can't do this.

We can't do this.

It's all right.

It'll be our little secret.

Maybe not so little.

Ben!

Tell me you love me.

What?

You don't have to mean it.

Just say it for me.

I love you.

So...

So...

- Don't think I do this all the time.

- No!

Of course not, no.

I don't want to be

a locker room joke, so...

don't tell anybody, okay?

I won't tell anybody.

Good. Still friends?

See you tomorrow.

You are so busted.

I thought you'd keep me company

in the restaurant last night.

I'm sorry. I had some homework

at Randy's.

How's his mom doing?

She broke her wrist.

Is it still in a cast?

She seemed okay.

I'm trying to...

Didn't seem like she was in pain.

That's good.

- I left you something.

- What?

It's in your locker.

I hope you like it.

- I love you.

- Yeah, I love you too.

Ben, I'm so proud of you.

I love having you in my life.

- Where will your parents be?

- Jamaica.

- Will they be gone all weekend?

- No, all week.

Nice.

I didn't hear Amy invite you.

I'm sorry, I didn't hear anyone

talking to you.

Good time on the over-sleep.

Coach is seriously pissed.

Are these for me?

They're a thank you for the card.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Way to swim, Josh!

Everybody else, keep your focus.

Focus is key.

Are you okay? What's up?

I don't know if it's

this low-carb diet I'm on,

but Ben and I are like this now

in the water.

Josh, he had a bad swim.

Why don't you give it a rest?

What's up, ladies?

What's going on? Everything cool?

- My swimming buddy.

- That's right.

- May the best man win.

- Absolutely.

There you go. I'm sorry.

Let me give you mine, buddy.

Ben, over here!

Oh my gosh!

I missed you. Where have you been?

- Around.

- Yeah?

Yeah. That's so great. Come here.

There's someone I want you to meet.

Madison?

This is my boyfriend, Ben Cronin.

Nice to meet you. Madison Bell.

Nice to meet you.

I already know all about him.

Amy can't stop talking about

her perfect boyfriend.

Even when I beg her to stop.

Excuse me. I gotta use the bathroom.

You want to hold this?

- It was nice meeting you.

- You too.

Cronin, I'm making a video run

and you're truck's blocking me in.

I'll do it. Just one second.

I'll be right back.

I gotta get more ice first.

Keys?

Yes.

Don't we have English together?

She's really nice.

She's so sweet and uncomplicated.

Madison, this is a little

awkward for me.

We could go somewhere else.

- Not what I meant.

- I know. I'm kidding.

Is it hot in here or is it me?

I know you're tied up tonight,

but when do I see you again?

- I don't know.

- How about tomorrow?

Tomorrow's not good for me.

I should get back to the party.

By the way, do you have my panties?

- Excuse me?

- My panties.

I may have left them in your car.

Let me do it. It's acting funny.

Thank you.

You got to bring your times down.

I'm not seeing Olympic swimming.

And neither will Stanford.

I know. I've got a lot on my mind.

Sorry.

Get your head back in the game.

- Are you listening?

- Yeah.

Sorry.

If you think you'll waltz it through...

No, Coach, no!

I'll be ready on Thursday.

And whatever's going on

between you and your girl,

fix it.

Now go.

- I'm home!

- We're in here.

We?

- He's so cute.

- Yes, I know.

Happy birthday!

Those are beautiful. Thank you.

Madison brought me those.

I'll put these in water.

Surprise!

Can you excuse me for a second?

How long has she been here?

About 20 minutes. Who is she?

It's great to finally

meet your mother.

What do you mean "finally"?

You just met me.

It doesn't feel that way.

How did you know

it was her birthday?

You told me.

At the party, remember?

Madison? I think you're

misunderstanding our relationship

in a fundamental way.

- We're friends?

- Right.

Friends. Exactly.

Friends see each other and are happy

when they stop by with flowers.

What's the problem?

You're coming on strong, you know?

You didn't think so when

we were in the pool.

I have a girlfriend.

I told you I had a girlfriend.

What are you saying?

Making love to me was a mistake?

I guess I am. I'm sorry.

You want to forget about it?

Pretend it never happened?

Maybe I was wrong about you.

Madison?

You won't tell anybody, right?

Tell anybody about what?

Ben, it's not good for him.

It's not good for me either.

Yeah, but don't crap on the carpet

every time you're sick.

Got a point. Sorry, buddy.

- You going into work later?

- Yeah.

- I'll see you.

- Okay. Bye.

Ben!

Now what?

How many times have I told you

to club lock this car?

I guess I forgot. I'm sorry.

Sh*t, Cronin. Get a grip.

Please enter your password.

You have 81 new emails.

Picture received.

Gotcha!

So here's what I think.

When school's over, we should

go to my empty, parentless house...

I have work.

Maybe afterwards.

My shift starts at six.

Tomorrow?

Is it the meet?

I thought a little release

was supposed to help you sleep.

I just got work. I'm sorry.

I'll let you get back to it.

I'll give you a call.

- I'm Randy, a friend of Josh.

- Right.

- He's told me about you.

- Really?

- Yeah, he did.

- Cool.

Well, I'll see you.

So you and Josh? That's cool.

Could we just sit down?

I want you to know that I know.

- You know?

- I know how freaked out you are.

I know why. It's because of

the other night, right?

Yeah.

I was pushing because

it's senior year.

I was afraid of losing you, but...

but we don't have to make plans now.

We can take everything one step

at a time. I'm fine with that.

I am.

That was my whole speech.

I practiced it and everything.

I don't deserve you.

- Thank you.

- It's true.

I've been looking all over for you.

What are you doing in here?

What's going on?

You're not returning my calls.

Are you mad about Josh?

I'm late for work.

He doesn't mean anything to me.

When I'm with him,

I pretend it's you.

Wow!

Did I do something wrong? Talk to me.

I have a lot going on right now.

Maybe too much.

What don't you get?

I'm trying to drop you.

You don't mean that.

I don't know any other way

but to just say it.

I'm not with you.

I'm with Amy. Amy!

I told you this. Remember?

Sure I remember.

But I also remember

you told me you loved me.

You asked me to!

How are you feeling, sir?

Just get me some Viagra

and a nurse under 70.

Take these, please.

What's wrong?

Is it the swimming?

Pressure getting to you?

Take the pills. I'm running late.

Thank you.

I checked and re-checked

the meds before I left.

Somebody must've switched
