00:00:00I finally got into one of the top music programs in the country, and now I can't even use my
00:00:08hand.
00:00:09Don't!
00:00:10I'll take your place.
00:00:11From now on, your name is Charlie Quinn.
00:00:17OMG, this hottie is my new roommate, but I have to pretend to be a guy.
00:00:29Can you help me get your sister's number?
00:00:32What about my brother?
00:00:33Do you think you could cut him some slack?
00:00:35I know you've been pushing him pretty hard in practice.
00:00:37If you want to stay in this school, you better start working twice as hard.
00:00:43Stay away from my man, or you'll regret it.
00:00:46Someone, help me!
00:00:49Stop!
00:00:51You hiding something?
00:00:54I'm a real man, I'll prove it.
00:01:00Miss Quinn, your brother Charlie had a massive stroke.
00:01:06Where's my brother?
00:01:07Charlie Quinn?
00:01:08Where is he?
00:01:09Doctor, tell me where my brother is, please, please.
00:01:12Where's Charlie?
00:01:13Go, let's go.
00:01:14Charlie!
00:01:15What the hell are you doing?
00:01:18One stroke isn't the end.
00:01:21You can still recover from this.
00:01:24And you still have your voice!
00:01:27You don't get it, Astra.
00:01:30What the hell are you doing?
00:01:32One stroke isn't the end.
00:01:34You can still recover from this.
00:01:36And you still have your voice.
00:01:38You don't get it, Astra.
00:01:41I finally got into one of the top music
00:01:43programs in the country.
00:01:45And now I can't even use my hand.
00:01:48It's over.
00:01:49What?
00:01:50Mr. Quinn, we have the best nerve treatment in the country.
00:01:53Your hand can recover in a month.
00:01:55I don't have a month.
00:01:57The registration deadline is today.
00:02:04Don't!
00:02:06I'll take your place.
00:02:09What?
00:02:14Charlie, I'll go in your place.
00:02:17I'll figure this out together, OK?
00:02:28OK.
00:02:40From now on, your name is Charlie Quinn.
00:02:46No, I'm not joking.
00:02:48I have to pretend to be Charlie and live in the guy's dorm.
00:02:52Can you just please cover me in class for like a month?
00:02:55I swear I'll make it up to you.
00:02:57Okay. You're an 18 year old guy. Just walk tall, be cool, and only care about three
00:03:06things. Drinking, farting, and girls. You got this.
00:03:14Hey, that Charlie Quinn guy is rooming with us, right? Oh yeah? Apparently he can play
00:03:20any string instrument and has like the voice of an angel. Hey Brian, you got some
00:03:23competition coming in. Sup bros, my name's Charlie. I'm your new roommate.
00:03:35Oh God, maybe I can't do this.
00:03:45What the hell is wrong with you? Never seen dudes shimmy before? Here, I'm Eason, this is
00:03:52Finn, and this asshole is Brian. You looking for something?
00:04:00Nah, nah bro. You guys have just been hitting the gym. Not bad, but I think I got you guys
00:04:08beat. You know, you know, I think you're a flyer style. Alright, first period starts in
00:04:28ten minutes. You should hurry up and get changed. Let's see if you're as weird as
00:04:33you said you are, bro. Shit, swimming on the first day?
00:04:48You got this, Astra. Walk like a guy.
00:04:55Okay, this is working. They're impressed. Flirt with girls like a guy. Own it.
00:05:19God, he's too fine.
00:05:25Oh my God, this hottie is my new roommate? But I have to pretend to be a guy. Wow.
00:05:42Help, I can't swim. Brian, we're having a party tonight. You should come. Wait, is that
00:05:53Charlie?
00:06:04Hey, hey, it's okay. He smells like a girl. Does he know? Brian, somebody help! Oh God.
00:06:21Hey, Brian, Brian. Wait, I'm so sorry. What are you doing? This is your fault, idiot. Stay away from my man or you'll regret it.
00:06:36Great, day one and I'm already the most hated person here.
00:06:41Gotta switch back to dude mode before anybody comes back.
00:06:51Thanks to you, first day of college, now I'm already in a cast. But you did it on purpose, didn't you?
00:07:05You're the one who grabbed me in the pool. Look, I'm sorry man, okay? Why would you freak out if a
00:07:11guy touched you? What, are you not securing your masculinity? And clearly you're not as fit as you
00:07:18said you are, so the answer is probably yes.
00:07:26Look, I've been hitting the gym all summer, man. I've got serious abs under here. With your skinny
00:07:33ass? Seriously, you don't even have any stubble on your face. You could almost pass for a girl.
00:07:38What are you talking about? I'm a real man. You don't believe me? I'll prove it.
00:07:45Dude, stop. What the hell are you doing? Stop. What is that? What the hell is this?
00:07:54Shit, he stole my menstrual cup.
00:07:57Shit, he stole my menstrual cup. It's a water cup, you know, for when you're on the go and you need
00:08:06to keep your vocal cord nice and lubricated. Give me. Where'd you even get this? It's not for sale,
00:08:11not for sale. It's custom made.
00:08:17You've been acting weird ever since you got here. You hiding something?
00:08:26Hey, check this out. It's a flyer for the band competition. The winner gets a whole record deal.
00:08:35Yeah, starts next month. Finn and I already took the liberty of signing the four of us up as a band.
00:08:40We're calling ourselves Soul. Soul. Soul. Yeah, you like it. I'm on keys. I'm on electric guitar.
00:08:48And you, my friend, you're on bass. The heart of the band. Wait, the four of us? And you,
00:08:55our vocally talented friend, can be our lead singer. Come on, the four of us together. There's
00:09:01no way we lose. Yeah. I'm not Charlie.
00:09:16I'm not Charlie. What? What do you mean you're not Charlie? I mean, I'm not the same Charlie
00:09:25that I used to be.
00:09:30You know, now I just want to focus on studying. Charlie, this competition is a huge deal. This
00:09:35isn't open to every student, you know. This is the best of the best only. But I'm not the real
00:09:38Charlie. I can't sing and I don't play any instruments. I got things to do. I got no time
00:09:43for some random contest. You should just ask someone else. Well, look, you don't have to
00:09:49decide right now. You got two days. Hey, we're all going drinking tonight, huh? First roommate
00:09:53excursion. You coming? Oh, my sister needs something. You guys go ahead. Okay.
00:10:06Hey, look, don't worry about Brian. He's just, you know, he's like that. He's the one actually
00:10:12who wanted to go out tonight. He wants to, you know, make you feel welcome. Okay. Astra,
00:10:20I got the confirmation for the band competition. Did you sign me up? No, I already dropped out.
00:10:27What? But this competition is huge. If I win, I can sign with a record label.
00:10:34The contest is in a month. I'll recover by then. Charlie, it's hard enough pretending to be you.
00:10:39I'm an English major. I don't know how to sing or play anything and they want me
00:10:44as the lead singer. I can't do a whole competition. Charlie?
00:10:53Charlie? I've worked my whole life for this. For nothing. Jesus. Jesus. Okay. Okay. I'll do it.
00:11:02I'll sign up for the contest. But you better be back in a month.
00:11:14I almost got caught covering your ass tonight. You owe me. What? No, no, no, no. I'm not getting
00:11:19into any more trouble tonight. Not too bad, bitch. Throw on some makeup, put on this dress,
00:11:23and no one can recognize you.
00:11:39Hey, over here.
00:11:40Hi. Lily? Lily, I've been DMing you for days. Oh, sorry. I think my account got
00:11:55hacked or something. So actually, something just came up. We gotta go. Yeah, sorry.
00:11:59Wait, wait, wait. Why don't we all sit down together? Hey, Brian, check it out. It's Lily
00:12:05and her cute friend. I can't let him find out his roommate is a girl.
00:12:11Ugh!
00:12:29You hiding something?
00:12:36Are you okay? Does he not recognize me?
00:12:40I'm Brian. Uh, Astra.
00:12:45Have we met before? Why is my heart beating so fast?
00:12:51Have we met before? No, I don't think so.
00:12:55Oh, there you are. Hey, game time. Game time. Sit down, please. Game time. Game time. Check
00:13:13this out. There's one king in this deck, and the rest are numbers. Whoever gets the king
00:13:20can tell the other two numbers that they have to do anything. And I do mean anything.
00:13:28Let's do it. All right, it's fruity. I think you'll like it. What am I, five?
00:13:38I mean, I do like sweet things.
00:13:41Hey, you two. You guys in this or what? Oh, yeah. Um, sure. Sorry. All right, come on.
00:13:53I'm the king, baby. I decree, number three and number four should kiss.
00:14:04Hey, I see you three and four. There's no backing out now.
00:14:09Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss.
00:14:16Oh, come on. That wasn't even on the lips. Was that okay?
00:14:34I shouldn't do this, but I don't want it to stop.
00:14:44There we go. Yeah. I have to go.
00:14:49Wait. Damn it. Didn't even get her number. I can't believe you kicked Brian.
00:15:00Finn has been bugging me all night asking about you. You should see Brian right now. He's so
00:15:05pissed off. But you should be proud, girl. You got the school heartthrob down bad for you.
00:15:12I know. That cocky jerk could never care about someone like me.
00:15:30Why do you have that?
00:15:46Why do you have that? What? What are you doing? Hey, stop.
00:15:52Now that I think about it, you kind of look like that girl,
00:15:55Astra. You even got her clothes too? It's because she's my sister, okay? We're twins.
00:16:01Twins? Why didn't you say that before? Wait, uh, does she go here?
00:16:09She's an English major, but we barely see each other.
00:16:13Why did I mention my major? Whatever. He's probably drunk. He'll forget by tomorrow.
00:16:18Quit it. My boy, sit here. I, um, I kind of, um, need your help with something.
00:16:27What is it? Can you help me get your sister's number?
00:16:34What? Are you crazy? Uh, no. Come on, man. I, I just want to ask her out.
00:16:39No, I'm not helping you get with my sister.
00:16:42No, no, no, no.
00:16:50You're Charlie, remember? You can't let anyone find out who you are.
00:16:55Turning him down is the right thing.
00:16:59Looking like this? There's no way, Brian.
00:17:03So, Charlie told me that you wanted to ask me out. Sorry, but you're not really my type.
00:17:10But last night, we...
00:17:13Last night? You mean the kiss? Come on, that was just part of the game.
00:17:19Just a game?
00:17:23Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about, but it was just part of the game.
00:17:27Come on, that was just part of the game.
00:17:30Just a game?
00:17:38Look, you don't really think that one tiny kiss means we're like a thing, do you?
00:17:44God, I hate guys that get too clingy.
00:17:48Anyways, later.
00:17:50Wait, Charlie!
00:17:54Shit! Did he find out?
00:17:56Sorry, it's just, uh...
00:17:59You and your brother, you look exactly the same.
00:18:01Well, I mean, we're twins, aren't we? Isn't that normal?
00:18:06Look, just stop bugging me and stop picking on Charlie.
00:18:09He's a dumbass, but he's still my brother.
00:18:15Hit the ramp, bro! It's like you're trying to miss every ramp.
00:18:20Oh, hey, what up, dude? Hey, how'd the thing go?
00:18:23Don't ask.
00:18:24Oh, that bad, huh?
00:18:26Oh my god.
00:18:27Yo, okay, hey, guys, band practice starts tomorrow.
00:18:30Yeah, yeah, yeah, I hear you.
00:18:32And you are a lead singer and guitarist.
00:18:38I'll be keeping an close eye on you.
00:18:42Great, now he's mad at me as Charlie and Ashton.
00:18:50If I don't learn guitar quick, I'm gonna get busted.
00:18:56Okay.
00:19:18What are you doing?
00:19:20Guitar book for adult beginners.
00:19:23I thought you were, like, the best guitarist in the school.
00:19:25Why do you have this?
00:19:25No, I just, uh, I slacked over the summer and got a little rusty.
00:19:30Don't worry, I'll catch up, I promise.
00:19:32Just please don't tell Brian.
00:19:40Weird, it's like they could almost be the same person.
00:19:46What are you doing?
00:19:48Brian takes music very seriously.
00:19:51If he finds out you're this far behind, he's gonna go nuclear.
00:19:56But if you had someone to give you some late-night lessons,
00:19:58maybe you'd catch up faster.
00:20:03Just don't tell Brian, okay?
00:20:07Wait till Brian sees this.
00:20:10Sees what?
00:20:13Hey, what the fuck are you two doing?
00:20:15The fuck are you two doing?
00:20:17This is our rehearsal room.
00:20:19If it's not music, it doesn't belong in here.
00:20:26You should follow Mr. Adams' example.
00:20:30Rehearsal rooms are for practice only.
00:20:32This competition is a big deal for the academy.
00:20:36Just one person doesn't cut it, the whole group's out.
00:20:42What do I do?
00:20:42The headmaster's here.
00:20:43I can't let him find out.
00:20:46What's wrong, Charlie?
00:20:48You're the most talented person here.
00:20:51Since the headmaster's here,
00:20:53why not give a sneak peek of your guys' performance?
00:20:58Of course.
00:20:59Okay.
00:21:04Why is he holding her like that?
00:21:05It's like he's never held a guitar in his life.
00:21:08This is the end.
00:21:10I'm so sorry, Charlie.
00:21:21You should follow Mr. Adams' example.
00:21:27What was that?
00:21:29I don't know.
00:21:30You know, the guitar string broke.
00:21:32That's gonna be a week to fix, maybe two weeks.
00:21:35I think we're gonna have to postpone the rehearsal.
00:21:37You don't have another guitar you can use?
00:21:41Brian, we was in charge of the equipment.
00:21:42Brian, do we have another guitar?
00:21:47Please say no, please say no.
00:21:51The backup is out for maintenance.
00:21:55This is all we have right now.
00:21:57What?
00:21:58The guitar string doesn't just break like that.
00:22:01Charlie must have done it on purpose to get out of the competition.
00:22:03That's not true.
00:22:04I'd never do that.
00:22:05Mr. Jacobs, I'm really sorry.
00:22:08We're not ready yet.
00:22:10But I promise, we won't let this cool down.
00:22:14I expect great things from all of you.
00:22:17Don't disappoint me.
00:22:20Practice is over.
00:22:28We're done for today.
00:22:30He actually helped me?
00:22:32But I thought he hated me.
00:22:35So why?
00:22:43Brian's not a pushover, okay?
00:22:51If you mess up again, he's not gonna let you off that easy.
00:22:53You're gonna have to learn fast.
00:22:55So the prodigy Charlie Queen doesn't really know how to play guitar.
00:23:00How the hell did you make it into the school then?
00:23:03Hey, look, look, look.
00:23:04Brian, it's okay.
00:23:05All right, it's fine.
00:23:06Stay out of this.
00:23:07Brian.
00:23:07Out, out.
00:23:09Yeah, fine.
00:23:10No, Brian, I'm just a bit rusty.
00:23:12But just give me some time and I'll be ready by the competition.
00:23:15Look, dumb excuses won't save you, okay?
00:23:18If you want to stay in this school, you better start working twice as hard.
00:23:22Show me what you got, Quinn.
00:23:33What?
00:23:34Wait, did you hit your head over the summer?
00:23:38How could you forget the basics?
00:23:40Oh, now you're tough.
00:23:42But when there's a girl in front of you, you're all quiet.
00:23:45Okay, look.
00:23:47When you plug the string, right, your fingers seem to come toward your palm, like this.
00:23:54Look, look, I can do it myself, okay?
00:23:55Stop moving.
00:23:56I'm trying to teach you, okay?
00:23:57So you go like...
