Short filmTranscript
00:00:00You ready to party? I don't think we've pre-gamed enough gaming girls to wait for that.
00:00:15The game has begun. I really don't think it's too late for us to just go home.
00:00:19No, it's too late. You've done this yourself. And I quote,
00:00:23I don't want to spend my entire college career reading about other people's sex lives.
00:00:27This is the last party of our college career. And even if you don't get laid, just dance and have a good time.
00:00:37OK, OK, you're right. Let's go.
00:00:45So you're falling for me. I, uh, thanks.
00:00:56Girl, you just tripped yourself into an incant romance.
00:00:59That's exactly what it was. It felt like I was in one of Adam's old stories. It felt just too real and too fast.
00:01:06Wait, wait, wait. Adam, that smut writer you got hung up on?
00:01:10It's not smut. OK, he writes about love and tragedies and everything in between.
00:01:15And I don't just read them. We talk about them, about ourselves, about what it means to be alive.
00:01:22Hon, you never even met this guy.
00:01:26I was going to Megan. We had set up a date and he ghosted me.
00:01:31I don't think I can forgive him, but I can't forget him. I mean, he's the whole reason that I'm an English literature.
00:01:36Uh-huh, yeah. OK, so tonight we are undoing all that damage. You take this.
00:01:41And I need to dance, so see ya.
00:01:45Wait, he's leaving me?
00:01:49Megan!
00:01:51Are you enjoying me, girl?
00:01:53Oh, or go see if your lover boy wants to dip you again.
00:01:57There we go.
00:02:01Oh, God, no.
00:02:23Oh, God.
00:02:24Hey.
00:02:25I'm good, thank you.
00:02:27Keep it great.
00:02:30Did you really think that was going to work, creep?
00:02:33You want to raise a hand? Raise one of these.
00:02:36It's cool, dude, really, it's cool. I've been drinking a little bit.
00:02:39I didn't mean to. I'm sorry, really, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get out.
00:02:44It's cool, it's cool.
00:02:54Are you OK?
00:02:56I don't go to many parties, this is all.
00:03:00Go back, he's gone.
00:03:03That's twice tonight, I save you. Do you like playing damsel in distress?
00:03:08No, you're my damsel, I'm your knight.
00:03:13Never mind.
00:03:15What?
00:03:16Goodbye.
00:03:21OK, OK.
00:03:25Hi, excuse me, sorry, so sorry.
00:03:28OK, bye.
00:03:31Oh, my God, what is going on? What happened?
00:03:34I don't know why I thought I could just go out for one night and expect everything to go perfectly.
00:03:38I'm an idiot. I had one guy almost hit me.
00:03:40Hit you? Wait, who? Where?
00:03:42He's gone, and the guy who caught me earlier saved me again, and I thought he was flirting with me, so I tried to throw it back.
00:03:48But I screwed that up.
00:03:50Hey, he's a guy, it's harder to screw up your chances than you think.
00:03:53He probably thinks I'm insane. I think I called him my knight.
00:03:57I don't know, I'm trying to block it all out already.
00:04:00You win some, you lose some.
00:04:02Let's just go home and binge some ice cream and go more girls.
00:04:08Yeah.
00:04:09Hey, damsel, wait up.
00:04:12Julie, be cool.
00:04:15She had run far.
00:04:17Trying to outrun her own heart.
00:04:20Wait, is that from Forgotten Garden?
00:04:23Yeah, and you played for Reader.
00:04:25And as a runner, where are you going?
00:04:27I just thought it was better if I cut my losses for the night and give up flirting.
00:04:31Maybe forever.
00:04:34Was that what all that falling down and getting into fights was?
00:04:38Us flirting?
00:04:40Or even trying to save me back there?
00:04:43I'll be your damsel if you play my knight that rescues me.
00:04:48I'm actually really glad you can say that.
00:04:51Well, how about the truth?
00:04:53My friend dragged me to this party because she thinks I need to have fun in real life.
00:04:57And I think you're super hot, but I'm way too much of a wuss to do anything about that.
00:05:07How's that for fun?
00:05:13Hi.
00:05:26What?
00:05:28I want to hear you say it.
00:05:30Say what?
00:05:36That you want me now.
00:05:39I want you now.
00:06:44Oh.
00:06:46So you're leaving.
00:06:48Well, you know I've got to take my shirt, too.
00:06:50Oh, I just thought we had a great time last night.
00:06:54We did.
00:06:56You said you wanted to have some fun, and we got it.
00:06:59Let me tell you, I'm having a blast now.
00:07:01Look, I'm just really not looking for anything beyond one night.
00:07:04The shirt, the staying over.
00:07:08I can only break so many of my own rules.
00:07:10Here.
00:07:12I'd hate for you to break some of your made-up rules.
00:07:28Oh, my God.
00:07:30That does not look like the kind of thing you're supposed to be doing.
00:07:34Oh, my God.
00:07:36That does not look like the face of one who's just had the best night of her life.
00:07:40It's not.
00:07:42Oh, honey.
00:07:44What happened?
00:07:46It's like there was something about this guy.
00:07:48He and I were getting along so well.
00:07:51He was passionate, but smart, too.
00:07:54He quoted my favorite book, The Forgotten Garden.
00:07:57Yeah, never heard of that.
00:07:59But he sounds like your exact type.
00:08:01That's all that matters.
00:08:03But then it's like I slept with Jekyll and woke up with Hype.
00:08:08Oh, he's one of those?
00:08:10He basically kicked me out of the house.
00:08:12What?
00:08:14I'm telling you, he's two different people, and one of them wants nothing to do with me.
00:08:18Damn.
00:08:20Well, the beauty of one-night stands is that you'll never have to see his face again.
00:08:25But what if he's in my class?
00:08:27No, no way.
00:08:29He probably doesn't even go here.
00:08:31He's probably one of those locals that likes to hang around college kids.
00:08:35Yeah, gross.
00:08:37I'm going to shower.
00:08:39Yeah, get washed up.
00:08:59Good morning, class.
00:09:26And welcome to the start of a new year.
00:09:28I know you all must be thrilled to see me after I announced my retirement last year.
00:09:33But I'm sorry to say your joy will be short-lived.
00:09:37Or is it short-lived?
00:09:39Anyway, for the first two weeks of this semester, I will be showing your new creative writing professor the ropes he's running behind.
00:09:46Oh my God, if it's Professor McSteamy I saw in the hall today, I will not be able to concentrate.
00:09:51Ah, here he is now.
00:09:52Mr. Mitchell.
00:09:57Oh my God, that's him.
00:09:59This is Mr. Mitchell's first year as a professor, but he was one of my best students not too long ago.
00:10:07I assure you, you are in capable hands.
00:10:12Anything you'd like to say?
00:10:16Yeah, it's great to be here.
00:10:19It's a good day.
00:10:21Looking forward to it.
00:10:25I promise you, he's much better on the page.
00:10:32All right, folks, that's it. Thanks. See you tomorrow. At least he will.
00:10:47Hey, I'm sorry.
00:10:50Mr. Mitchell.
00:10:52It's Jace, right? It's Mr. Mitchell.
00:10:55I wanted to apologize for my rude behavior that morning, and I hope that we can keep what happened in our personal lives out of the class.
00:11:02Oh, don't worry. You already made it crystal clear that you want me nowhere near your personal life.
00:11:07Look, this is just as a surprise to me as it is to you. It wasn't my intentions to make you feel like...
00:11:13Like I was trash on garbage day?
00:11:15Julie, that's not it. Do you want me to be honest?
00:11:19Yes, Mr. Mitchell.
00:11:21Honestly, I didn't know I was going to be a professor that night.
00:11:26I just finished grad school. No clue where to go from there.
00:11:30And if I had known, I probably wouldn't have even followed you outside and all the rest.
00:11:36You're not the only one who regrets what we did, but don't worry. It'll never happen again.
00:11:52Hmm.
00:11:59Hey, Julie!
00:12:01You good? What's got you all worked up?
00:12:04Do you remember that guy, Mr. Jekyll and Hyde?
00:12:07Yeah. Wait, he's in one of your classes, isn't he?
00:12:11Sort of. He's teaching it.
00:12:14Shut up. I know this is horrible.
00:12:17Oh my god. I mean, why though? It's not like you're going to hook up with him again.
00:12:20Miss, you forgot something.
00:12:22You left it in the hallway. I wanted to make sure you didn't leave without it.
00:12:26Well, thank you. That was very nice.
00:12:28Well, it was pretty selfish.
00:12:30I was afraid if I left it in the lost and found, I wouldn't be able to see your beautiful face light up when I return it.
00:12:39This is Tuli.
00:12:40Oh, I know. I'm in her creative writing class.
00:12:43I'm Armand. It's a pleasure to finally meet you.
00:12:47Okay, quite the charmer.
00:12:49In France, we never hold back when we see something we like.
00:12:57I'm telling you, that French guy is so into you.
00:13:01He seems like the type that'd be into anybody.
00:13:03What? No, he was treating me like I wasn't even there.
00:13:08Which is absolutely crazy.
00:13:11Oh my god.
00:13:12What?
00:13:13He put his name in my phone.
00:13:15Oh, girl, he likes you.
00:13:19I know, but the crazy thing is, is meet-cutes and gestures like this only make me think of Adam and his stories.
00:13:26Oh, please. It's probably for the best that he stopped catfishing you.
00:13:31Forget him. Now, Armand, he's your real-life French lover. Okay?
00:13:38Good guys are hard to come by nowadays. You better hop on that before somebody else does.
00:13:45Trash. Garbage, too.
00:14:15Hey, Tooey.
00:14:39Hey, Tooey.
00:14:40Chase. Mr. Mitchell. I didn't know you wrote.
00:14:45Well, why would I teach others how to write if I wasn't doing it myself?
00:14:49More professors should have that attitude. What's the quote? Those who can't do, teach?
00:14:54Teachers do plenty. Knowledge is a thing that gives a person power.
00:14:59Who is that, Lockhart?
00:15:01I'm glad I got one student who reads. Doesn't seem to be too common these days.
00:15:06You sound like Professor Connor.
00:15:08That's fine, as long as you don't think I look like him.
00:15:13What are those?
00:15:14From Professor Connor. He said you know what to do with them.
00:15:17You didn't volunteer to bring them, did you?
00:15:19I'll leave you alone to flatter yourself.
00:15:21That wasn't a no.
00:15:23I thought you said you wanted to keep our personal lives separate. Isn't that what you want?
00:15:27What I want doesn't matter. What matters is what we are, teacher and student.
00:15:33Well, the next time you think about flirting with me, remember what we are.
00:15:38I can manage if you can.
00:15:40Oh, believe me, that won't be an issue.
00:15:43Thank you for dropping off the papers, but next time only visit when you really need me.
00:15:48You won't be seeing much of me then.
00:15:50Julie.
00:16:02Armand.
00:16:03I was waiting for you to call.
00:16:05Sorry, I've just been distracted.
00:16:08What is it? A face as beautiful does not deserve a frown.
00:16:11I just... It's nothing. One of my teachers is an ass.
00:16:16Sounds like you need a break from school.
00:16:19Let me cheer you up. Whatever you want.
00:16:22How about I cook you some boeuf bourguignon, we watch a French movie, and we have a little tour of France?
00:16:28How does that sound?
00:16:30That might get me out of it.
00:16:32Yeah? How about dancing?
00:16:34Would you like that?
00:16:47Let's go.
00:16:53So what do you think? Does this hold up to your dirty dancing?
00:16:58Nothing ever does. But it was good.
00:17:01Well, good for you then, because I have another one for you.
00:17:04There is a screening of L'Avignon Rose this Friday. One of my favorites. Would you come with me?
00:17:11Friday is actually my birthday.
00:17:13That sounds nice. I don't have anything planned.
00:17:16Because I'm cool with that.
00:17:18Your birthday? I mean, truly, a movie won't do it.
00:17:22Like, you deserve a party.
00:17:24Let me host a, what do you say, a big bash?
00:17:28We barely know each other. You don't have to do it.
00:17:32Please, Tully, I insist. Let me do that for you.
00:17:35Like, let's take it as the beginning of a new year. The year of Tully.
00:17:39Okay.
00:17:55Tully? What are you doing?
00:17:58I'm reading some of Adam's old stories.
00:18:01What? I thought everything with Armand was going so good.
00:18:05It did.
00:18:06Okay.
00:18:07Adam's just been on my mind lately, and I can't figure out why.
00:18:10Okay, you have to show me something of his. There's no way that he's that good of a writer.
00:18:14Okay.
00:18:17Here. The blue blossom fields matched her eyes, and the spirit within them.
00:18:21That life, joyful, free thing that danced and arced across her gaze when she looked at me.
00:18:27I swam wondrously in those eyes, desperate and sad as she drifted off to sleep.
00:18:33My heart shattered because I knew I wouldn't be there when she opened them again.
00:18:38Damn. That is good.
00:18:41Too bad he's not real.
00:18:43He was real, Megan.
00:18:45Uh-huh.
00:18:46But he just... vanished.
00:18:50I don't know if I can take that kind of rejection again.
00:18:53Honey, Armand is a real-life human with real-life humans, I'm gonna tell you.
00:19:00And he's throwing you a birthday party in an hour.
00:19:03He won't ghost you like Adam. I won't let him.
00:19:09That's enough of that, okay?
00:19:12Get ready for your party.
00:19:16Okay.
00:19:18Okay.
00:19:28Okay.
00:19:37Tuli.
00:19:38Hey.
00:19:40Oh.
00:19:42Come in.
00:19:43Everyone, say hi to Tuli, it's her birthday.
00:19:45Happy birthday!
00:19:48Armand, come on, let's go to the club, it'll be fun.
00:19:52No, Lucia.
00:20:01Come dance with me.
00:20:03Sorry, I'm gonna fail.
00:20:05Okay, but before the end of the night we're dancing, right?
00:20:11Here.
00:20:12Take this.
00:20:15Tuli, look, look at this party.
00:20:17Look at what Armand is doing for you, okay?
00:20:20Just forget about your days lost in fiction and get with your wife.
00:20:24It's real life.
00:20:26Okay, alright!
00:20:28Now that's what I'm talking about, girl.
00:20:30Come on.
00:20:37Tuli, look at you.
00:20:39You should go to ballroom dancing sometimes.
00:20:41You love dancing, don't you?
00:20:44No.
00:20:45There's something else that I love more, though.
00:20:47Armand, I've had too much to drink.
00:20:49Tuli, look what I've done for you.
00:20:51Let's have a good time.
00:20:52I was having fun.
00:20:54Come to my room, I'll show you your birthday gift.
00:20:56Armand, don't do this.
00:20:58Tuli, you're making a scene right now.
00:21:00I'm gonna make a scene if you grab me like that.
00:21:02Leave it.
00:21:13Tuli?
00:21:14Oh, it's you.
00:21:16Are you okay?
00:21:18No, I'm walking home.
00:21:20How far away is your place?
00:21:22I'm almost there.
00:21:24Just three, four more miles.
00:21:29Okay, come on.
00:21:31I'm gonna take you home after your glass of wine.
00:21:33No, I'm not going.
00:21:35I'm not going.
00:21:36I'm not going.
00:21:37I'm not going.
00:21:38I'm not going.
00:21:39I'm not going.
00:21:40I'm not going.
00:21:41I'm not going.
00:21:42I'm gonna take you home after your glass of water.
00:21:44What do you care?
00:21:46Tuli, I'm trying to help you.
00:21:51I thought you wanted to keep it professional-based, Mr. Mitchell.
00:21:58I am not your professor right now.
00:22:00I'm just someone who cares about seeing you wake up tomorrow safe.
00:22:05Come on.
00:22:11You really care, don't you?
00:22:14Like more than just someone wanting me to get home safe.
00:22:17You care about me.
00:22:20I'm trying so hard not to.
00:22:23You can do anything to me and it wouldn't be forced.
00:22:28It wouldn't be right either.
00:22:30That's the thing.
00:22:33It may seem wrong, but it's just what you're taught.
00:22:39What was that?
00:22:48My heart shattered because I knew I wouldn't be there when she opened them again.
00:23:10I had to go run an errand.
00:23:33There's some coffee in the kitchen.
00:23:35Advil on the counter.
00:23:37I hope your head doesn't hurt too much.
00:23:49Chase!
00:23:50Tuli!
00:23:51Why were you off with the call to cops?
00:23:53I'm sorry.
00:23:54Honey.
00:23:56What happened?
00:23:58I left the party after Armand basically forced himself on me.
00:24:01What?
00:24:02My phone died and I ended up staying with Chase.
00:24:06Oh my God.
00:24:07Please tell me you didn't sleep with your professor again.
00:24:10I didn't.
00:24:11He just took care of me.
00:24:13That doesn't sound any better.
00:24:15No, it's...
00:24:16We didn't do anything.
00:24:18I made an idiot of myself and passed out.
00:24:21That's it.
00:24:22The important thing is you're safe.
00:24:24I'm just glad you're home.
00:24:28Shit.
00:24:37Tuli.
00:24:39Chase.
00:24:40Are you feeling better?
00:24:43I am, thanks.
00:24:45I wanted to apologize.
00:24:46I wasn't...
00:24:49I wasn't in a good place.
00:24:52Thank you for taking care of me.
00:24:54Of course.
00:24:55I'm sorry I couldn't be there when you woke up, but it was probably for the best.
00:25:00Not exactly the Friday night you wanted to deal with, I'm sure.
00:25:03I didn't mind the company.
00:25:06Well, I could have been better.
00:25:09You want to keep things professional and that certainly didn't help.
00:25:14I don't think keeping things professional is an option for us.
00:25:18Do you?
00:25:26This is a bad idea.
00:25:29I could lose my job.
00:25:31I could get kicked out of school.
00:25:33The risk is too high.
00:25:34We've got to keep this completely academic.
00:25:36I'm glad we agreed.
00:25:39Fuck.
00:25:52The only way I'm going to allow myself to do this is if it's no feelings, just fun.
00:25:58Anything else is just too messy.
00:26:01And you can do that?
00:26:03You can be my professor with benefits.
00:26:07God, I hate the sound of that.
00:26:10Then we don't have to close anything.
00:26:12Just our dirty little secret.
00:26:23Not here.
00:26:38Go.
00:26:59Love is divine only.
00:27:02And difficult always.
00:27:04Does anyone know who said that?
00:27:07Toni Morrison.
00:27:08Great job, Tuli.
00:27:10Great job, Tuli.
00:27:12I bet she hears that every night.
00:27:14She's been teacher's pet all semester, hasn't she?
00:27:16I'm going to visit his office later today and maybe I'll get some extra credit too.
00:27:20You wouldn't need the extra credit if you'd actually pay attention instead of talking about me.
00:27:23I'm not the only one talking about you.
00:27:25Ladies, please.
00:27:27So, we're talking about cognitive dissonance and how it can be more than a useful tool.
00:27:33How sometimes it's everything that it means to be human.
00:27:38Now, last night I read some of your papers.
00:27:42I would say about 50% of you understand what I'm talking about.
00:27:47Or I should say, Toni's talking about.
00:27:50You know, Cassandra and her cronies won't shut up about you and they're starting to bring me into it now too.
00:28:04You have no reason to be jealous, trust me.
00:28:07I only sleep with one student at a time.
00:28:10Ha ha.
00:28:17Dinner is ready.
00:28:19Julie, that's my novel. It's not.
00:28:22I love it. I'm only a few pages in, but I absolutely love it.
00:28:27I do have a few notes though.
00:28:30Oh, you have some notes, do you?
00:28:32Yeah, it's a diamond in the rough.
00:28:35I'll show you the rough.
00:28:43Which character grew up in Hades?
00:28:46John T.
00:28:51Oh, I'll get it.
00:28:57Hi, could I talk to Julie?
00:29:00I'll check.
00:29:03It's Armand.
00:29:11I'll be in the other room if you need me.
00:29:17Hi.
00:29:19I'm sorry for how I acted.
00:29:22Not just for trying to kiss you, but I shouldn't have let you go without making sure you had a safe way home.
00:29:29I made it home safe. Bumped into an old friend.
00:29:32Please tell me I didn't ruin anything between us.
00:29:35I'm trying to keep up with you and I'd like to make it up to you.
00:29:39And I'm trying to show you that I'm the gentleman you deserve.
00:29:44Hey, why don't we go on a date together? I mean a real one.
00:29:48Just you and I, no French film, no party.
00:29:51Just us.
00:29:53What do you think about that?
00:29:55Not right now.
00:30:04So, are you gonna go out with him?
00:30:07I don't know. I told him not right now.
00:30:10Is it because of the party?
00:30:12I totally get that.
00:30:14Well, um...
00:30:16I've kind of been hooking up with someone.
00:30:19Ooh, spicy.
00:30:21Well, it better not be your teacher, because that would be crazy.
00:30:26Tuli?
00:30:28No, Tuli!
00:30:30What?
00:30:31Well, it better be hot.
00:30:33Oh, it's hot.
00:30:34You're gonna get in trouble, girl.
00:30:36I am the trouble.
00:30:38Come here. Oh, my God.
00:30:41Just be careful, okay?
00:30:43Yeah.
00:30:44All right.
00:30:49What does your piece have to say?
00:30:51Behind everything written on the page,
00:30:53what is the reader supposed to walk away from your story with?
00:30:56For example, justice is one of the major themes in Tuli's Mockingbird,
00:31:02or To Kill a Mockingbird.
00:31:04Excuse me.
00:31:08What was I saying?
00:31:15You're gonna get me in trouble with those Freudian slips in class.
00:31:18I'm the one who's gonna get into trouble.
00:31:20And you've loved it, I can tell.
00:31:22I've got a hot professor
00:31:24inserting my name into classic literature titles.
00:31:27That's not to love.
00:31:29Wait till we talk about a Tuli of two cities.
00:31:31No, shut up.
00:31:32All right, catch, Tony Tuli.
00:31:34I am shutting you up, then.
00:31:39Okay.
00:31:53Yeah, if I don't get an A this semester,
00:31:55my mom's totally gonna cut off my meal card.
00:31:58Yeah, I know, who does that?
00:31:59Like, totally psychotic.
00:32:01Like, I'm already suffering enough.
00:32:09Hello, Mr. Mitchell.
00:32:11Hey, Sandra.
00:32:12I just wanted to turn in this paper a little early this week.
00:32:15Yeah, absolutely.
00:32:16Is everything okay?
00:32:18Yeah, it's, uh, it's all part of the grading process.
00:32:23Interesting.
00:32:25Thanks, we'll see you next week.
00:32:35That was too close.
00:32:37No more of that here.
00:32:39I'll see you later tonight, then.
00:32:42Now, we wait a few seconds,
00:32:44he might still be out there.
00:32:45Oh, yeah?
00:32:46What are we supposed to do while we wait?
00:32:48Anything but what we were doing before.
00:32:51Damn.
00:32:52My notebook.
00:32:54Damn.
00:32:55My notebook.
00:33:24That bastard.
00:33:25That's why he wanted to keep it physical.
00:33:27I can't believe I let him lead me on like that.
00:33:29You think he could be married?
00:33:31I don't know.
00:33:32Should I call him, confront him?
00:33:33Mm-mm.
00:33:34Drop him.
00:33:35If he's gonna treat you like you're nothing,
00:33:36you should do the same.
00:33:38I say call him on.
00:33:40He wants to take you out on a real date, right?
00:33:43Yeah, but Jace is...
00:33:44The Jace is your teacher,
00:33:47and you're his student.
00:33:49But what else is he hiding from you
00:33:50if he's, like, seeing this other woman?
00:33:52You're right.
00:33:53I know.
00:33:54Let's party.
00:33:58Armand?
00:34:00I think...
00:34:02I think I changed my mind about that date.
00:34:07Your date with Armand is gonna be so cute.
00:34:10I bet that he knows all the best French restaurants around here.
00:34:14He says they're all awful.
00:34:16We're getting sushi.
00:34:17What?
00:34:20Oh, it's my dad.
00:34:23Hey, Dad.
00:34:29What?
00:34:31Is it my grandma?
00:34:35And that's all, everyone.
00:34:38Come back Monday with those revisions,
00:34:40and have a great weekend.
00:34:50Hey, it's Tuli.
00:34:52Just leave me a message.
00:35:01Hi.
00:35:02Is Tuli here?
00:35:03Sorry, I'm alone.
00:35:04She's not here.
00:35:05Can you give her that?
00:35:07Thanks.
00:35:09Bye.
00:35:14Hey, Tuli.
00:35:16Just leave me a message.
00:35:20Hello?
00:35:22There's a rain check on Armand,
00:35:24but he said he's sorry for your loss and gave you these.
00:35:27Tulips?
00:35:28Yeah.
00:35:30They're so pretty.
00:35:42Come on.
00:35:43Tell me what's going on.
00:35:45Really, it's nothing.
00:35:48BS.
00:35:50I know when you've got girl problems.
00:35:53I'm telling you, I'm only focusing on writing and teaching.
00:35:57That's enough to deal with.
00:36:00Mm-hmm.
00:36:02I can always tell.
00:36:04Face it, bro.
00:36:05Twin intuition is a real thing.
00:36:07That really only seems to go one way.
00:36:10Well, that's because your head's always in the clouds.
00:36:13Or on the next great American novel.
00:36:15So you wish, anyway.
00:36:22Your phone's been going off all night, and you keep declining it.
00:36:25I don't want to get involved.
00:36:28I think she's seeing someone else, so I...
00:36:31So...
00:36:33you're ghosting her?
00:36:35Oh, my God, I'm shocked.
00:36:38Jace Mitchell vanishing at the slightest bump in the road.
00:36:43Janelle, I tried to settle down, and marriage didn't work for me.
00:36:49Brooke didn't work for you.
00:36:51Don't blame the entire institution on one psychotic ex.
00:36:55You can bounce back.
00:36:57I can't get over everything so easy.
00:37:00And I tried.
00:37:01My heart wasn't in it.
00:37:03I'm better off just not starting down that path again.
00:37:07Jace.
00:37:10Come on, do you really believe that?
00:37:25Jace.
00:37:27Tully.
00:37:29Jace, I'm sorry I missed class.
00:37:32It's been a rough few days.
00:37:34Oh, yeah, I bet.
00:37:36I'm chilling up at your house with flowers.
00:37:38Are you guys dating?
00:37:40No.
00:37:42So that's why you haven't been answering my calls?
00:37:44What do you care if I'm dating someone?
00:37:46You're not exactly single yourself, are you?
00:37:50I can see you're busy. I'll leave you two alone.
00:37:52No, Tully, come back.
00:37:54I want you to meet someone.
00:37:56Janelle, is this Tully?
00:37:58Tully is my sister, Janelle.
00:38:02So, you're the one that's got my brother all twisted up in knots.
00:38:06I'm sorry. I don't know why I just showed up like this.
00:38:09Tully, no need to apologize.
00:38:11You both started this off badly.
00:38:13Come inside.
00:38:22Jace, be a good host and get the bottle of wine.
00:38:25And another glass.
00:38:32Sorry for your loss.
00:38:34Was she a good woman?
00:38:36The best.
00:38:38She took care of us when my mom and dad broke up.
00:38:41She was the only thing that got me through it.
00:38:43Our parents broke up, too.
00:38:45Did Jace tell you that?
00:38:47He doesn't really talk about himself, not really.
00:38:49I don't even know his middle name.
00:38:51I...
00:38:53Jace and I are just...
00:38:55We're just having a fling, no feelings.
00:38:59So, he says.
00:39:01Why does he keep pushing me away, then?
00:39:03Hiding himself when I know he wants to open up.
00:39:06He's a closed book.
00:39:08I know.
00:39:10We went through a really rough time growing up.
00:39:12And it's not my story to tell, but...
00:39:14He has his reasons.
00:39:16I'm sorry.
00:39:33I'll let you two talk.
00:39:36Okay.
00:39:45I'm sorry for lashing out.
00:39:48You're grieving.
00:39:50Believe me, I understand.
00:39:54Do you wanna...
00:39:56Tell me about her?
00:40:00Grandma was always there for us.
00:40:02More than...
00:40:04Your normal, sweet old grandma.
00:40:06She was special.
00:40:08Patient, kind.
00:40:12Everything that my mom wasn't.
00:40:15And when my mom and dad broke up,
00:40:17she moved in to take care of us.
00:40:23My first romance novels were the ones
00:40:25that I would sneak out of her room.
00:40:27She said it was okay.
00:40:29I just wasn't allowed to explain anything to my dad.
00:40:35I just, um...
00:40:40If I had known that we were gonna lose her so suddenly,
00:40:42I would have spent every second that I could have with her.
00:40:46All those great things.
00:40:49Let that be what she leaves behind in this world.
00:40:53Inside you,
00:40:55and everyone who knew her.
00:40:58Carry her with you.
00:41:01You know what she would have told me about you?
00:41:03Stay awake.
00:41:07She would have told me
00:41:09to stop messing around
00:41:11and give you my heart.
00:41:13And I want to.
00:41:18Jace, I know you have feelings, don't you?
00:41:22Not just the sex, not just the fun.
00:41:24Real feelings.
00:41:27You're in an emotional place right now.
00:41:29We can talk about this later.
00:41:31I know you feel it, too.
00:41:33You're horrible at hiding it.
00:41:35We can't be together, too.
00:41:37We've crossed too many lines.
00:41:39That's bullshit, and you know it.
00:41:41Tell me the truth.
00:41:43Why are you pushing me away?
00:41:45What are you afraid of?
00:41:47You don't know me.
00:41:50You don't know what I've been through.
00:41:52That's exactly what I want to know.
00:41:54You never would have let me read your book
00:41:56if you didn't want more.
00:41:58I told myself
00:42:00I wouldn't get sucked into this.
00:42:02There's too much at stake.
00:42:04No more than when we kissed in your office.
00:42:06This isn't about you being my teacher anymore.
00:42:08It's about us being serious.
00:42:11I don't know if I can.
00:42:14I don't know if you'll stay.
00:42:16My mother had her secrets.
00:42:18She left us high and dry
00:42:20having planned her exit for years.
00:42:22I need to know that the man
00:42:24I'm spending my time with isn't going to leave.
00:42:26That is me sharing myself
00:42:28with you, Jace.
00:42:30Why can't you do the same?
00:42:32Keep your secrets or keep me.
00:42:48Jace.
00:42:50Don't let her slip away.
00:42:54Jace.
00:43:24Jace.
00:43:34Thanks for coming to the funeral with me, Megan.
00:43:36Of course, girl.
00:43:38Your grandma was such a badass.
00:43:40Oh, I'll get it.
00:43:44Still here.
00:43:46She has a lot going on right now.
00:43:48I don't think she has time for you.
00:43:50Megan knows.
00:43:52Tully, what do you even know about him?
00:43:54If he wants to tell me more, I'll listen.
00:44:08You want to know why I won't commit?
00:44:10Why I can't let you in
00:44:12the way you want?
00:44:16I was married
00:44:18for two years.
00:44:20And it started off
00:44:22great.
00:44:24I was in love.
00:44:28I thought I was, at least.
00:44:30But we fell apart.
00:44:34She cheated.
00:44:36She threatened to ruin me
00:44:38when I tried to leave her.
00:44:44Still,
00:44:46I had to get out of it.
00:44:48I had lost
00:44:50so much.
00:44:52I had told myself
00:44:54that my book would come first.
00:44:58And I didn't have time
00:45:00to fall for someone.
00:45:06Until I met you.
00:45:08Jace.
00:45:18Jace.
00:45:22Jace.
00:45:24Jace.
00:45:26Jace.
00:45:28Jace.
00:45:30Jace.
00:45:32Jace.
00:45:34Jace.
00:45:36Jace.
00:45:38Jace.
00:45:40Jace.
00:45:42Jace.
00:45:44Jace.
00:45:46Jace.
00:45:48Jace.
00:45:52Jace.
00:45:56Armand. I'm sorry...
00:45:58We can't be together.
00:46:00I wanted to feel the same sort of passion
00:46:02that you felt for me, but...
00:46:04This is because of Professor Mitchell.
00:46:06What? What are you talking about?
00:46:08I saw him at your house today.
00:46:10I wanted to tell you
00:46:12about it, but it's complicated with him.
00:46:14I was never really sure about anything.
00:46:17Was our date really going to happen?
00:46:19Armand, yes. But I told you that my grandmother...
00:46:22Yes, yes, I know, but your heart was never really in it, was it?
00:46:27I felt pressured to be with you, Armand.
00:46:30If you read the romance novels, you're the perfect guy.
00:46:33But I don't think perfect is for me anymore.
00:46:38It's gotta be more than just gestures. It's gotta be real.
00:46:42So you think what you got with him is real?
00:46:45It's becoming more real every day.
00:46:49I just hope he feels the same for you, Thuy. Or he's gonna hurt you.
00:47:03Hello, Thuy.
00:47:07No use hiding something.
00:47:13F**k.
00:47:17Well, it's over with Armand.
00:47:21Thuy, I have to tell you something about Jace.
00:47:24What?
00:47:26Okay, um...
00:47:28Remember when I was like, what do we even really know about him?
00:47:33Well, that thought stuck with me.
00:47:35And I know you guys have been, you know, making up.
00:47:39I know I'm nosy and an awful friend.
00:47:42But please, just hear me out.
00:47:44Megan, it's fine. What did you find out?
00:47:46Okay, well, I found his faculty page and his email and I decided to search it up.
00:47:52I...
00:47:54Okay, and?
00:47:56You're gonna want to sit down for this one.
00:47:58Jace's website was created using the same email as Adam's inkit account.
00:48:29I didn't hear you come in. Everything okay?
00:48:31No, Jace, it's not.
00:48:33Were you ever gonna tell me?
00:48:35Tell you what?
00:48:36That you're Adam.
00:48:40No wonder I loved your writing. I've been reading it for years.
00:48:43Who's Adam, huh? Just some alter ego that you made up?
00:48:47Adam is my middle name.
00:48:50The person you were talking to was a real me.
00:48:53How long have you known?
00:48:54Was it before that first night? Did you plan all this?
00:48:57No. I found out when I saw you in class months after that first night between us.
00:49:03You said the name to one of your chapter titles and I realized who you were.
00:49:07I wanted to stay away, but I couldn't.
00:49:10Then why didn't you tell me even when we first started seeing each other?
00:49:16I was afraid you'd think I was manipulating you.
00:49:18What else am I supposed to call it when that's exactly what you're doing?
00:49:22Three years ago when we were supposed to meet, you were married, weren't you?
00:49:28The whole time we talked online, you were married.
00:49:34Yes.
00:49:35Unbelievable, Jace Adam. I don't know which version of you I'm more angry with.
00:49:40It's bad enough that he's my teacher, but this?
00:49:43I just think back on everything between us and wonder what he's been operating on behind the scenes.
00:49:51I knew something was wrong with him. That's why I had to look into it.
00:49:54Thank you for being nosy.
00:49:56You're right. You're awesome.
00:49:59I'm sorry.
00:50:00I'm sorry.
00:50:01I'm sorry.
00:50:02I'm sorry.
00:50:03I'm sorry.
00:50:04I'm sorry.
00:50:05I'm sorry.
00:50:06I'm sorry.
00:50:07I'm sorry.
00:50:08You're also a great friend.
00:50:10Hey, at least it all came out now and no real damage was done.
00:50:15You dodged a bullet.
00:50:17Should I drop out of the class?
00:50:19Girl, absolutely not. We are not letting him win this one, okay?
00:50:38I am not sentimental. I am as romantic as you are.
00:50:56The idea that you know is that a sentimental person thinks things will last.
00:51:01A romantic person has a desperate confidence that they won't.
00:51:08What does Fitzgerald mean by this?
00:51:10It sounds nice, but I don't think it's honest.
00:51:15How so?
00:51:17Because some people are neither.
00:51:20Some people just use others thinking that they won't last.
00:51:26And then they're glad to throw them away.
00:51:37I'm sorry.
00:52:07So, yes, they called me back in to finish off your class.
00:52:18I'm sorry to say that Mr. Mitchell has resigned.
00:52:23Some administrative matter. That's all I'm going to say.
00:52:27So help me get caught up with where we are in the assignment.
00:52:32From what I understand, you're supposed to take one chapter out of the Weyland novels and write it in your own style.
00:52:46Chase.
00:52:48Cynthia. I was just packing up.
00:52:51What happened?
00:52:53You tell me.
00:52:55Look, I know you're hurt, but I don't think you'd do anything like this.
00:53:03Julie.
00:53:16Did you do it?
00:53:17Do what?
00:53:19Tell me the truth. Did you report Chase to the school?
00:53:22I did report him because it was the right thing to do.
00:53:25Right thing? You only did that because I chose him over you.
00:53:29Can it be both, Julie? There are rules that exist and you can't deny that you broke them.
00:53:33Even if he doesn't hurt you, what is he going to do with the other student?
00:53:36The next student? Armand, you cost him his job, maybe his whole career.
00:53:40I did that, huh? What about him? What about you?
00:53:43You think you're innocent in all of that?
00:53:45I know how the investigation is going to end.
00:54:00I figured I'd better leave under suspicion and be the confirmed disgrace that I am.
00:54:07Doesn't this mean you can see Julie now, with no secrets?
00:54:10That's the best part.
00:54:13Julie's gone. We're through.
00:54:19Chase, why?
00:54:22We didn't realize it, but we used to talk on a site where I would write my stories.
00:54:28I was married to Brooke. Things were already falling apart at that point.
00:54:35But when we set an actual date, I knew I had gone too far.
00:54:41I knew I had to break it off.
00:54:45And by the time Brooke and I had divorced, it was too late.
00:54:51She blocked me.
00:54:53So even when we started seeing each other as, well, us, I still couldn't tell her.
00:55:03I knew she wouldn't forgive me for ghosting her, for lying to her.
00:55:10And she didn't.
00:55:13She turned me in.
00:55:16And I deserve that.
00:55:19Well, what you don't deserve is to beat yourself up about this.
00:55:24You have to find a way to move on.
00:55:40Oh, my God.
00:55:52Tules, we did it.
00:55:54No school, no books, no grades, no teachers.
00:55:57Sorry.
00:55:58Smart subject.
00:55:59No, you know, finally it's done.
00:56:02Okay, Tules, I'm proud of you. You've grown so much.
00:56:05What do you say we go out tonight?
00:56:08Now that's what I'm talking about.
00:56:31Jace's novel.
00:56:33Wow.
00:56:34He actually got it published.
00:56:36Is that the one you read?
00:56:38Yeah.
00:56:40Oh, looks like he got back on his feet.
00:56:43Oh, my God, he wrote something.
00:56:46For my damn soul, Adam.
00:56:50Too little, too late, right?
00:56:52Right.
00:56:54Still want to go dancing today?
00:56:56Sure, let's do it.
00:56:58I've been dying to get you into your little red dress.
00:57:02Let's go.
00:57:32Oh, my gosh, girl, did you see the guy who was dancing with you?
00:57:35Yes.
00:57:36Now that's how you cap off a college career.
00:57:38Yeah, it is.
00:57:39I need a high-five.
00:57:40Night, Megan.
00:57:41Good night.
00:58:01They stood in the winter-withered garden, dead flower beds at their feet.
00:58:17John didn't notice.
00:58:19He gazed deeply into her eyes.
00:58:21I'm ready, Victoria, John whispered.
00:58:26Every universe we've met, every timeline, every version of me, you are the constant.
00:58:34You're the one thing I can't change, and I'll never want to.
00:58:39He placed a flower in her hand.
00:58:42It was a tulip.
00:58:44Not dead, no.
00:58:46It was in full bloom.
00:58:58Oh, no.
00:59:26Your timing is astounding.
00:59:37Jace is moving?
00:59:38He got a publishing deal.
00:59:40And besides, I mean, nothing's keeping him here anyways, right?
00:59:44I'm sorry, I shouldn't be here.
00:59:55Looks like you followed for me.
00:59:56Again and again.
00:59:59You're leaving?
01:00:00What about the line in the book?
01:00:01You left it on my doorstep for a reason.
01:00:06I wanted to be honest with you one last time.
01:00:09And the only way I thought you'd be willing to listen, after everything I'd done.
01:00:14Yeah, I gotta go.
01:00:17You're not getting off that easy.
01:00:19I need you to be open with me, Jace.
01:00:21Not through a book.
01:00:25I had always run from commitment.
01:00:28I thought I was done with that life.
01:00:30But when we started seeing each other, keeping our secret, I thought I'd keep my old life in the past.
01:00:39But I realized we only connected because of our past.
01:00:45Whether you knew it or not.
01:00:48I am so sorry I didn't let you know the moment I realized.
01:00:54No matter which version of you it is, I keep falling for you.
01:00:58And I'm done running.
01:01:01Don't listen to them.
01:01:14Where are we running off to then?
01:01:17How the New York City sounds.
01:01:47Oh my love.
01:01:49Oh my love.
01:01:51I have only love for you.
