00:02 What's your name?
00:03 Cairo Sweet.
00:05 I'm Mr. Miller.
00:06 I'm assuming that you got one of these before.
00:09 I read the whole list.
00:11 There's 12 books on that list.
00:12 "Party Hard."
00:13 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:15 (SINGING) Always said I was a good kid.
00:18 What is an adult?
00:21 I'm 18.
00:23 Languishing in the wilds of Nowhere, Tennessee.
00:26 Don't know how I'll ever break this curse.
00:30 Don't you get scared walking through those woods?
00:34 I'm the scariest thing in there.
00:35 [LAUGHS]
00:36 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:38 Never knew I could be speechless.
00:42 I want you to write a short story in the style
00:45 of your favorite author.
00:47 Are you having a special treatment, Mr. Miller?
00:49 Well, uh--
00:52 John here is prepping her to be his transcendent.
00:55 Is she pretty?
00:56 No, she's talented.
00:57 Damn, even worse.
01:00 What are you writing about?
01:02 I'm uninspired.
01:03 I've had an achievement.
01:05 Make him love you.
01:06 (SINGING) I set fire to the wrong place.
01:11 I don't know how I--
01:13 She opened her mouth to say something.
01:17 But the words fell away.
01:21 Why did you write this?
01:23 This is inappropriate.
01:24 Write what you know is what you said.
01:26 If you don't rewrite this, I'll have to fail you.
01:28 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:30 I dare you.
01:31 (SINGING) I'll shoot down, I'll shoot down,
01:33 I'll shoot down, I'll shoot down.
01:37 It's like he's been living in grayscale,
01:39 and you're the first thing he's ever seen in color.
01:41 (SINGING) I'll shoot down, I'll shoot down, I'll shoot down.
01:44 You are the adult. Show some responsibility.
01:47 You're my student, and I'm your teacher.
01:49 That's all.
01:50 (SINGING) I'm burning down, I'm burning down,
01:53 I'm burning down.
01:54 If she can convince them that something happened between us,
01:57 I could lose my job.
01:58 It's not all he could lose.
02:01 He can ruin his life.
02:02 (SINGING) Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down, down,
02:06 down, down, down, down, down.
02:12 In your own words, how did it start?
02:15 (SINGING) Always said I was a good kid.
02:19 (upbeat music)
