00:00Senior year, the culmination of all my careful planning.
00:05Perfect grades, the model boyfriend.
00:07It's all falling into place.
00:09Hey, Jake.
00:12What'd you want to talk about?
00:14We need to break up.
00:15What?
00:17Come on, Claire.
00:18Things haven't been working out for a while.
00:20But everything was going so well.
00:22I've been seeing someone else.
00:24It's okay, Claire.
00:26I mean, it's not the end of the world.
00:28You'll find someone.
00:32Claire.
00:34My jacket.
00:44See you at school.
00:51Look, I get it's only been a week, but this moping, it's got to stop.
00:55We were together for two years, though.
00:57Exactly.
00:58Forget him.
00:59This is our senior year.
01:00Literally the perfect time to just start fresh.
01:03I don't want to start fresh.
01:04I just want Jake back.
01:06Wait, wait, wait, pause.
01:08You want to get back together with him?
01:10Of course I do.
01:11Even though he cheated on you.
01:17Everyone makes mistakes.
01:19Look, sooner or later he's going to realize how much he misses me.
01:23You know you're my best friend, right?
01:25Yeah.
01:26So seeing you like this, it honestly kills me.
01:30So if you really, really want to get back together with Jake, then I'm willing to help you.
01:37Really?
01:38Yeah.
01:39Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you.
01:41Okay, okay, okay, okay.
01:42Okay, there's one thing you can do.
01:44Like, one thing that will drive him crazy and just straight back into your arms.
01:47What is it?
01:48Operation Jealousy.
01:51Operation Jealousy.
01:53Yep.
01:54You got to make him crazy jealous and then he'll be crawling on his knees begging to get back together with you.
01:59Okay, and how do I do that?
02:01Simple.
02:02You bring a hot guy to his birthday party tomorrow.
02:05I don't know.
02:06Seems kind of crazy to me.
02:08Well, you need to trust me because it's going to work.
02:10Okay, well how am I supposed to find a new boyfriend in the next 24 hours?
02:14Babe, it's 2020.
02:16You know that anything's possible.
02:18Plus, I found this new app called BF Bundle where you can hire a fake boyfriend for the night.
02:24Wait, how do you know about this?
02:26This is about you.
02:28This is about you.
02:29So...
02:30Okay, well how does it work?
02:32Well, first we need to create your profile.
02:34And... done.
02:36Now we just wait.
02:39Actually, hold on.
02:40I'm going to add a bio to make you seem a little bit more... fun.
02:46Okay, I am plenty of fun.
02:48Look at you right now.
02:51Okay, fair enough.
02:52Yeah.
02:53And...
02:55Oh, oh, whoa.
02:56You already have a match, dude.
02:58You have a match.
02:59And the reviews are raving that he is a total hottie.
03:02Oh my god, let me see.
03:04Swoon-worthy.
03:06Local athlete.
03:08He has a five-star rating.
03:10Yeah, that sounds perfect for you.
03:12Wait, why aren't there any photos?
03:15Oh, the app says it's a privacy thing.
03:17You have to commit to at least a meet-up.
03:19Oh.
03:20I'll take this.
03:22Let's see.
03:23Wait, what are you doing?
03:26Done.
03:27You're meeting him today.
03:29Today?
03:30Yeah.
03:31Like, this today?
03:32This one.
03:33So...
03:34Let's get dressed.
03:35Zoe!
03:36Yeah!
03:37Zoe!
03:38Come on!
03:39That is too soon!
03:45Damon!
03:46Hey.
03:47I thought you were at a hockey convention all summer.
03:50No, it ended.
03:51I just got back into town.
03:52Plus, Jake wouldn't stop going on about his big birthday bash.
03:55Guess I'll see you there.
03:57Um...
03:58No.
03:59Actually, we broke up.
04:00Oh.
04:01Oh, man.
04:02I'm sorry to hear that.
04:03Thanks.
04:04Well, I'm meeting someone, so have a good night.
04:07Yeah, you too.
04:09You know, I'm sure they'll be here any second.
04:12You don't have to wait.
04:13Thank you, though.
04:14Oh, no.
04:15No problem.
04:16Bye.
04:17Bye.
04:18Bye.
04:19Bye.
04:20Bye.
04:21Bye.
04:22Bye.
04:23Bye.
04:24Bye.
04:25Bye.
04:26Bye.
04:27Bye.
04:28Bye.
04:29Bye.
04:30Bye.
04:31Bye.
04:32Bye.
04:33Bye.
04:34Bye.
04:35Bye.
04:36Bye.
04:37Bye.
04:38Thank you, though.
04:39I'm not.
04:40I'm actually...
04:41I happen to be meeting someone, too.
04:42Do you have to do it right here?
04:44It's public street, so I'm pretty sure that means we can share the sidewalk.
04:50I'm supposed to meet this girl I've been texting.
04:52Poor thing's going through a rough breakup.
04:59Drama Queen 2020?
05:01Oh, man.
05:02What?
05:03This is epic.
05:04This is a mistake.
05:05Look, forget about everything.
05:06I didn't even keep the money.
05:07Oh, no, no, no.
05:08You can't get away that easy.
05:09Please don't tell Jake about this.
05:11Okay.
05:12I won't tell him.
05:13And I'll do you one better.
05:15I'll be your fake boyfriend.
05:19What?
05:21What?
05:22That's why you're in the app, right?
05:23I just wanted to hire someone for a date.
05:26You know, make Jake jealous.
05:27Great.
05:28I'm in.
05:29No.
05:30Look, we can't do that.
05:31He's your brother.
05:32Who also happens to be a massive jerk for what he did to you.
05:34I mean, I can't believe he cheated on you.
05:37No one's going to believe that you're actually dating me.
05:41Everyone knows you don't do relationships.
05:44Maybe I'm full of surprises.
05:45No.
05:46Forget it.
05:47Look, I'll find someone else.
05:48Look, you're not going to do better than going out with Jake's older, charming, and much hotter brother.
05:54Come on.
05:55You want to make him jealous, and I want to teach him a lesson.
05:57It's a win-win.
05:59Hmm?
06:02Fine.
06:03You follow my plan.
06:04No improvising.
06:06Yes, ma'am.
06:08So, when exactly are we going to do this?
06:10Tomorrow night.
06:12That's his birthday party.
06:14Exactly.
06:15That's his birthday party.
06:17Exactly.
06:20Well, you're definitely full of surprises.
06:24Will you please answer the question?
06:26Jeez, take it easy.
06:28I hired you to be my boyfriend.
06:30Remember?
06:31You have to know how we got together in case anyone asks.
06:34Okay, okay, yeah.
06:35What was the question?
06:36Where did we go on our first date?
06:39Um...
06:41We had a magical night at the movies.
06:44Do people even go to the movies anymore?
06:46Yes, they do.
06:47Isn't that kind of lame?
06:49It's not lame.
06:50It's believable.
06:52No, what we need is an epic love story to blow everyone's mind.
06:59What epic love story?
07:00We've been dating for like a week.
07:04Well...
07:06Haven't you ever heard of love at first sight?
07:10Haven't you ever heard of love at first sight?
07:14I've known you for two years, Damon.
07:16Fine, love at second sight.
07:19Look, I just don't want this to blow up in my face because of one misstep.
07:22I'm getting Jake back.
07:24He cheated on you.
07:25It was a mistake.
07:26Besides, I put too much in this relationship just to throw it away.
07:29Wow, how romantic.
07:31You just don't understand the value of being in a committed relationship.
07:35Real relationships never work.
07:38That's why I'm on the app.
07:40With fake relationships, I can enjoy it all without any disappointment.
07:46How romantic.
07:50Uh, well, I gotta go.
07:51I've got hockey practice before the party tonight.
07:54Wait, we haven't even gone over my favorite hobbies yet.
07:56How about you drop the plan and just see where the night takes you?
08:00Ever heard of the risk worth taking?
08:02Ever heard of don't mess with a good thing?
08:04Look, I'll follow your lead tonight, but you need to loosen up.
08:08I mean, have some fun.
08:10When was the last time you had fun, Claire?
08:12I have plenty of fun.
08:14Yeah?
08:15Yeah, that's fun.
08:16That's almost too fun.
08:19Can't wait to see that later tonight.
08:25Nope, no more of that.
08:29Didn't realize you're an expert in makeup now.
08:31What I mean is you don't need any makeup.
08:33You already look amazing without it.
08:35You can save the theatrics for now.
08:37We're not at the party yet.
08:38No, I'm serious.
08:39You look beautiful.
08:41You always do.
08:44I guess I'm just nervous.
08:46Don't worry.
08:47I'll be by your side the whole night.
08:49Promise.
08:50You shouldn't have to work so hard for Jake anyway.
08:52I mean, you're already way out of his league.
08:54Okay, now I know you're joking.
08:56When you guys first started dating,
08:58I couldn't believe my brother's luck.
09:01And you're ridiculously smart.
09:03You starred in all the school plays, got every solo and chorus.
09:06You still had time for math leads.
09:10I can't believe you know all that.
09:12I always thought you just ignored me.
09:14You're my little brother's girlfriend.
09:15I had to keep my distance, but...
09:17I still paid attention.
09:18You know, when you dropped the whole
09:20too-cool-for-school act,
09:21you're actually a pretty decent guy,
09:23Damon Coyle.
09:25Hey, careful.
09:26I have a reputation to uphold.
09:28No, I'm serious.
09:29I think you might actually make a great boyfriend.
09:32I mean, when you finally decide to try with someone, of course.
09:39Claire?
09:40We're here.
09:59People are looking.
10:01Why are they looking?
10:02They're looking because you're with me.
10:04What?
10:05Because you're with me.
10:07Why are they looking?
10:08They're looking because you're with me.
10:10And when you're with me,
10:11you actually get to have some fun for once.
10:37I'm gonna go get us a drink.
10:53I'll be right back.
11:01Okay, wow, wow, wow.
11:03It looks like things are heating up.
11:04I know, right?
11:05It's almost like Operation Jealousy
11:06jealousy might actually work yeah no I was talking yeah no I was talking about

13:35what you two deserve each other hey are you okay cuz that game was brutal and
13:44where did Damon run off to I don't know he said he was gonna be by my side the
13:49entire night and I thought we were doesn't even matter anymore is Claire
13:55Sanders actually breaking protocol no matter how hard I plan or how carefully
14:01I try to put my life into this perfect little box it all comes crashing out
14:05around me and now the one guy I might actually have real feelings for is off
14:09God knows where probably setting up a new date with a girl in that stupid app
14:14so yeah I'm I'm done planning plans can suck it
14:26you
14:31hey sorry I ran out like that left my phone in the car and I had to grab it to
14:36get on the app of course what just where are you going home and don't worry I'll
14:43still write a good review for you I wouldn't want you to miss out on any
14:45more epic date hey talk to me you just left me in there I know I'm sorry I
14:53wasn't thinking I don't care anymore Damon look you were right
14:56Jake's an ass so the plan this it's over what if I don't want it to be over
15:05what if I don't want it to be over you could have your pick of any girl out
15:10there so why don't you just get on the app and find someone else yeah I got on
15:13the app because I wanted to delete it what I deactivated my account why would
15:20you do that look I know I'm just another number you're not just another
15:23number okay you never were I don't want to fake date with you anymore all right
15:31I want a real one I thought you said that real relationships never work well
15:43maybe I realized that you're the rest worth taking
15:50you
16:07come on slap shot two three nine take me home
16:14Are you sure I'm doing this right?
16:20Yeah.
16:21Just make sure these two dots match, so make that side a little bit bigger.
16:25Okay.
16:26I am trusting the process.
16:28I'm just glad we get to go sag together.
16:31You never got a date, right?
16:32No date.
16:33But Damon's really not coming?
16:35I bought him a ticket in case he changes mind, but he won't budge.
16:39Well that's his loss, because you are about to be the best homecoming queen that we have
16:44ever seen.
16:45No way!
16:46I don't even know how I got nominated.
16:49And of course, Jake is on the ballot because he's the only reason why our soccer team wins.
16:53I feel like the only reason I'm on there is because people want to see what Chelsea will
16:56do if I win.
16:57Knowing her, she'll probably dump a bucket of pig's blood on my head.
17:00At least she's vegan, so you know it'll be synthetic.
17:04Maybe Jake, like, campaigned for you guys to reignite something, because I heard rumblings
17:09that him and Chelsea aren't doing too hot right now.
17:13Ooh, trouble in cheater's paradise.
17:15Shocker.
17:16Where did you even hear that, anyway?
17:20I don't even remember.
17:21You know, gossip travels.
17:23That looks pretty good.
17:27But it could also be your newfound popularity from dating Damon.
17:30It hasn't exactly gone unnoticed that you get picked up on a motorcycle every single
17:34day.
17:35Yes, Damon.
17:37My knight in shining armor who can't even be bothered to take his girlfriend to her
17:42school dance.
17:43I mean, at least he's hot.
17:47So hot.
17:50It's so weird that Joey didn't ask you to be his date.
17:53Um, not that weird.
17:54We haven't talked in a while.
17:55Why?
17:56I thought you were starting to dig him.
17:57As soon as I figured out that our names couldn't have one of those cool celebrity abbreviations,
18:00it was over before it began.
18:03Jay-Zoey.
18:04Zoey.
18:05Absolutely not.
18:06Well, more Zoey for me.
18:07Nothing's going to keep us apart.
18:10Oh, it's Damon.
18:13Oh, it's Damon.
18:16Or should I say Claremon?
18:19Can I call you back to finish this?
18:22Yeah, you can, Claremon.
18:23But you better, because we need to finish this look.
18:26Okay, bye.
18:27Hey, beautiful.
18:28What's up with your eyes?
18:31It's not finished yet.
18:34You look like Amy Winehouse on a Tuesday morning.
18:37Zoey is giving me a tutorial for the dance tonight.
18:40Ah, yes.
18:41I almost forgot who I was speaking with.
18:44My sincerest apologies.
18:46Your royalness.
18:47I know how you can make it up to me.
18:49Nope.
18:50Come on, you're seriously going to let me do this alone?
18:53You're not going to be alone.
18:54I thought you were rolling with Zo.
18:56Plus, if you listen very carefully, I bet you can hear Jay-
19:00Yep, there's Jay, bouncing off the walls.
19:03Dude is pumped.
19:04Yeah, because dances are super fun.
19:06And even more fun if you have a date like he does.
19:09Yeah, for now.
19:10What do you mean?
19:11Chelsea's been soft-ghosting him.
19:13I don't think she's that excited about the dance.
19:16Why could that be?
19:17Because yours truly got nominated and she didn't?
19:21Oh yeah, I'm sure that's it.
19:23I bet that is it.
19:25She's going to be so pissed if I win.
19:28Queen for the night.
19:30She's going to be so pissed if I win.
19:32Queen for the night.
19:34And then, you know, for the rest of the school year.
19:36Because I would have to play in prom.
19:38And then the homecoming queen normally becomes the prom queen.
19:41And then-
19:42I seriously doubt she's thinking about this a quarter as much as you are.
19:45How could she not be?
19:48Because nobody cares about this king and queen stuff as much as you and Jake.
19:52It's lame.
19:53Easy for you to say.
19:54You got nominated all four years and didn't even show up.
19:57I get that this seems like a big deal to you now.
19:59But I promise when you get out of high school you'll realize none of this stuff matters.
20:05Wow.
20:06And you think Chelsea has already reached this higher consciousness?
20:11No, I'm not talking about her.
20:12You know, come to think of it, if you both are so mature,
20:15maybe you should skip the dance together and get a cheese board
20:18and, you know, talk about all the super important adult stuff that actually matters.
20:25Oh look.
20:26Someone my age is calling.
20:28I didn't mean-
20:29Claire.
20:30Bye.
20:37I need to fix this.
20:39Hey, Jake.
20:41Claire.
20:42Hey.
20:43Thanks for picking up.
20:46Whoa.
20:47Did Zoe do this to you?
20:48It's a work in progress.
20:50What's up?
20:51Cool.
20:52Um, I just wanted to call you and touch base.
20:57And just, you know, make sure that things don't get awkward tonight.
21:02You mean if we win?
21:04We're gonna win.
21:07Is Chelsea gonna be upset if, when, we win?
21:12If, um, if she looks up from her phone long enough to notice, maybe.
21:16Aw, texting someone else?
21:19It'd be a shame if she were in, like, a secret relationship.
21:22That would suck.
21:23Look, Claire.
21:24I know that I can never apologize enough for what I did, but
21:29I really am sorry.
21:31I didn't mean to hurt you.
21:33And if I could take it back, I would.
21:37It's fine.
21:39It's fine.
21:40Just, at least she'll be there.
21:42Damon won't even come.
21:44Yeah, I never really understood his thing with dances.
21:47I mean, like, we always had a great time.
21:49I know.
21:50It's a chance to get, like, dressed up and have fun and make grand romantic gestures.
21:56Jinx!
21:59Don't tell anyone that I just said that.
22:03Whoa.
22:04Is that the dress that you've been saving since freshman year?
22:07Yeah.
22:09I can't believe I'll finally be able to wear it.
22:11And I can't believe this will be our first high school dance where we aren't going together.
22:17Yeah.
22:18Me neither.
22:21I hope we win so we at least get one dance together.
22:27Well, how about, either way, we make it happen.
22:30One dance before the night's over.
22:32Deal.
22:34As long as you promise not to step on my dress like you did Jinx.
22:37As long as you promise not to step on my dress like you did Junior year.
22:41That was sophomore year.
22:42It was both.
22:46Fine.
22:48As long as you promise not to bust out your grandma moves.
22:51What?
22:52You mean...
22:53This one?
22:54Oh, God.
22:55My eyes!
22:56Stop it!
22:57My eyes!
23:02What?
23:03Like, you can do better?
23:04Oh, come on.
23:05Anyone can do better than whatever that was.
23:07Let's see, by all means.
23:25Oh, uh, sorry.
23:27Chelsea's calling me.
23:28I should get it.
23:30I'll see you later?
23:32Yeah, yeah.
23:33See ya.
23:35Bye.
23:51Hello?
23:53Hello?
23:54Just trying to show you what you're missing.
23:57Wow.
23:59You look incredible.
24:00Thanks.
24:02Are you...
24:03Are you going somewhere?
24:04Yeah, there's a cheese board with my name on it I need to get to.
24:07Look, I'm sorry about before.
24:10I know it's just a stupid dance, but it's my last homecoming and...
24:15I don't know, I really wanted you to be there.
24:17Yeah, I'm sorry too.
24:18I should have known how important it was to you.
24:20It's okay.
24:22How do you...
24:23How do you do this?
24:24You're getting pretty dressed up to eat a cheese board with your brother's girlfriend.
24:29If you think I'm going to let my brother have all the fun, you're crazy.
24:32Is this going to match your dress?
24:35You're coming?
24:37And you got me a corsage?
24:39Is that against the rule to bring your own crowns?
24:41I just want to make sure people know who the true king and queen are.
24:44My crowns are meant to protect you.
24:46They're what?
24:47Nothing.
24:49I'm just talking to myself.
24:50Okay, well how about a little less chit chat and a little more boogie?
24:53Come on, Claire, we've got a homecoming to get to.
24:55And I, for one, am wearing my dancing shoes.
25:00Okay.
25:01Okay.
25:15This part always gets me.
25:20Yes!
25:22Yes!
25:23Yes, it is.
25:24I'm so sad.
25:25Are you watching hockey right now?
25:27What?
25:28No.
25:29No, I mean, I'm not not watching hockey.
25:34Come on, babe.
25:35Cut me some slack.
25:36It's my birthday tomorrow, and these are two of my favorite teams.
25:38This is a classic, Damon.
25:40Anybody who's anybody has seen this.
25:42Classics just code for old.
25:44I don't know why I bother trying to culture you.
25:47Anyway, what's the plans for tomorrow, birthday boy?
25:52Well, since I've been away for two weeks, I was thinking I could kiss your face for the first half of the day.
25:57And, you know, we've got the party later.
26:00Crap.
26:01Crap.
26:04Um, Nico Guitar Flames is calling.
26:07Who's that?
26:09I completely forgot I have a lesson now.
26:14Is this why you've gotten so into guitar lately?
26:19Hey, my favorite student.
26:21And my favorite student's friend?
26:24We were just watching The Long Way, and we lost track of time.
26:28Oh, yes.
26:29I see you took my recommendation.
26:31Such a classic.
26:34Boyfriend.
26:36What?
26:37I'm not her friend.
26:38I'm her boyfriend.
26:39Oh, lucky guy.
26:41Who was just leaving.
26:43Bye, Damon.
26:44I mean, I can stay.
26:46I'd love to see what you two have been working so hard on lately.
26:48No.
26:49I mean, no.
26:52She's right.
26:53She's right.
26:54Music is so personal.
26:55So intimate.
26:56Something to be shared between two.
26:58Or three.
26:59Oh, no.
27:00Almost never three.
27:05Young love.
27:06Such a beautiful thing.
27:07Love?
27:08Who said?
27:09I don't...
27:10We...
27:11I...
27:12We don't...
27:13Um...
27:15Have you ever been in love?
27:17Of course.
27:19Of course.
27:20Of course.
27:21Yeah, I've been in love a bunch of times.
27:24I mean, not a bunch of times.
27:27The normal amount of times.
27:29There's just a lot of pressure on when to say it.
27:32You know?
27:33There's a lot of stress.
27:34And then you don't know who should say it first.
27:36Or when you should say it.
27:38Or if they'll ever say it back.
27:42Maybe I can help you find a way to say it.
27:44Should we begin?
27:46Should we begin?
27:48Yeah!
27:55Damon?
27:56Hey, Zoe!
27:57What's up?
27:58How are you doing?
27:59I'm good.
28:03That's awesome!
28:04I'm...
28:05I'm also good.
28:06You know, I've been away at training camp for a couple weeks.
28:08Got my first job.
28:09Got my first job.
28:10Got my first job.
28:11Got my first job.
28:12Got my first job.
28:13Couple weeks.
28:14Coming home tomorrow.
28:16So...
28:17Here's a funny little question for ya.
28:20Claire's guitar teacher.
28:23Nico.
28:25Yeah.
28:27He's...
28:28He's not even that good looking.
28:29Like, at all.
28:30Oh no, he's a solid 9.5
28:31And then him playing guitar takes him to about a 12.
28:35I just think it's weird...
28:36You know?
28:37We...
28:38She's doubled her lessons while I've been away.
28:40And...
28:41We're watching movies...
28:42Wouldn't you feel a little bit weird about your girlfriend hanging out with some guitar
28:46player multiple times a week?
28:48I thought you said he wasn't good looking.
28:50Zoe.
28:51Okay.
28:52I wouldn't feel great about it, but I'd be confident in my relationship.
28:59I would know that she really wants to be with me and not him.
29:02I just don't get it.
29:04I mean, she's being so secretive about it.
29:07I haven't even heard her play anything.
29:09Yeah, Damon.
29:10I don't know.
29:11Don't you have any guy friends to call about this?
29:13Who am I going to talk to, Zoe?
29:15Guys don't talk about stuff.
29:16If only you knew somebody that dated Claire and knew her really, really well.
29:20Jake?
29:21Yeah.
29:22Is that weird?
29:23I mean, it can't be weirder than you calling me about this.
29:26Yeah, okay.
29:27You're right.
29:28You're a good friend, Zoe.
29:29Claire's lucky to have you on her side.
29:32Don't stress.
29:33I'm sure there's absolutely nothing to worry about.
29:35Plus, isn't it your birthday tomorrow?
29:37Focus on that.
29:39Yeah.
29:40Thanks, Zoe.
29:41I'll see you tomorrow.
29:42Hey, birthday boy.
29:43Not until tomorrow.
29:44Where's Jake?
29:45He's in the shower.
29:46He just got back from practice and he's disgusting.
29:47I was totally going to wish you a happy birthday, but I didn't have your number.
29:48Yeah, let's keep it that way.
29:49So what's on the agenda?
29:50What time am I picking you up tonight?
29:51Kidding.
29:52Obviously.
29:53I'm not a kid.

31:25I'm a grown man.
31:26I'm a grown man.
31:27I'm a grown man.
31:28Honestly though, Damon, hockey's like your one true love and it's kind of boring.
31:32I love other things.
31:34Like what?
31:35Like Claire.
31:36And I don't want to run it off with some guitar-playing, art-culture-looking snob, alright?
31:44Look, I'm not saying I'm an expert on all things Claire, but Dating Brothers has forced
31:51us to hang out with each other more than either of us would have liked, and she's actually
31:55kind of interesting.
31:59So maybe you should at least pretend to care about some of the things she likes.
32:03Yeah.
32:04That's actually not terrible advice.
32:08Consider it my birthday gift to you.
32:10Gee, thanks a lot.
32:12So what are you still doing here?
32:14Go before she hires Sneako to be her boyfriend at your party tomorrow.
32:18Bye.
32:19So what are you still doing here?
32:22Go before she hires Sneako to be her boyfriend at your party tomorrow.
32:25Bye.
32:26Yeah, yeah, okay, whatever.
32:29Thanks, bye.
32:42Hey!
32:43I was just gonna call you.
32:46You're all dressed up.
32:48Damon?
32:49I've been wanting to tell you how I feel, and this was going to be your birthday surprise,
32:55but I just, I didn't think I could wait.
33:03Okay.
33:04You're the cream in my coffee, you're the apple in my eye.
33:18You make me wanna laugh when I think I'm gonna cry.
33:22But you're the one, so there's one thing I must do.
33:28I have to say, I...
33:34I love you.
33:37I love you too.
33:40Moments, you are.
33:42I'm sorry, but I needed you to know it.
33:44I love you so much, Claire.
33:46And I'm sorry that I got weird earlier, but I talked to Zoe and...
33:49You talked to Zoe?
33:50Yeah, and she told me not to worry.
33:53And she told me that she always has your back, which I love.
33:57Love.
33:58And I talked to Chelsea.
34:00Ew, why didn't you talk to Chelsea?
34:01I don't know, she sucks.
34:03But she did say one thing that wasn't terrible.
34:06I want to make more of an effort to share your interests, Claire.
34:09I want to watch whatever you want to watch and talk about musicals.
34:14Even the old ones, I don't care.
34:15Just no subtitles, deal?
34:18Deal.
34:19Okay.
34:21Babe?
34:22Yeah?
34:23Do you think I could finish my song?
34:25I worked really hard on it.
34:27Yes, please.
34:33Blue-eyed, baby-eyed, as bright as the sky.
34:37Hidden in a cloud that never felt so high.
34:40Think that you're the one, so it's one thing I must do.
34:47I have to say,
34:50I love you.
34:59Did you change your pillowcases?
35:01No, Claire did not leave them there.
35:04That looks like trash.
35:06Do you have time to do a load of laundry?
35:08Not really, but yeah.
35:10Did you get the champagne?
35:12Yes.
35:13Chocolates?
35:14Rose petals?
35:15Massage oils?
35:16Scented candles?
35:17All of that?
35:18Claire, I'm playing with you.
35:20I literally don't understand why you're freaking out right now.
35:22One, Damon's been in your room,
35:24and two, you're not a virgin.
35:26I'm a virgin to sleeping with brothers.
35:28True.
35:30That's awkward.
35:31Is there a term for that?
35:33Sleeping with brothers.
35:38Please do not ever Google that.
35:41Ever.
35:42You're not helping, so...
35:44Look, this is a big night.
35:46After tonight, that's it.
35:48What do you mean, this is it?
35:50Like, me and Damon.
35:52There's no going back.
35:53Going back to what?
35:55To Jake?
35:56Have you guys been talking or something?
35:58No.
35:59Not talking.
36:00Just...
36:01I don't know.
36:02We dated for so long.
36:03It feels like a betrayal, you know?
36:07And plus, I know Chelsea broke up with him,
36:09so I know he's not in a good place.
36:12About time.
36:13She dragged that on.
36:15Nothing.
36:16She dragged that on long enough.
36:17What's that supposed to mean?
36:19Nothing, Claire.
36:20I don't think you sleeping with your boyfriend is a betrayal.
36:23You're good.
36:24You think they'll talk about it?
36:26Oh my god, what if they compare notes?
36:28Oh god, that's so awkward.
36:30I think the only one that gets to do the comparing is you.
36:33Plus, Damon is gonna be ten times better than Jake.
36:36Think about all that experience.
36:38Why would you say that?
36:40So, I didn't even think of it like that.
36:43He's been with so many girls.
36:45What if he thinks I don't know what I'm doing?
36:48God, thanks a lot.
36:50Just what I needed.
36:51That's literally not what I meant at all.
36:55Oh, it's Damon.
36:57Wish me luck.
36:58Bye.
37:04Hey.
37:07You are definitely running late,
37:09but since you are shirtless
37:12and you probably smell good, I'll let it slide.
37:16You are definitely running late,
37:18but since you are shirtless
37:21and you probably smell good, I'll let it slide.
37:24Hey, uh, so I got some news.
37:26Bad news?
37:27No, just, uh, do you remember Natasha?
37:32Natasha, your super hot ex who ran away to, like, live off the land in Japan?
37:37Ride her bicycle across Thailand, but yeah, great.
37:40So you remember.
37:41She's back.
37:42Oh, so it's horrible news.
37:45I know we're supposed to hang tonight.
37:46Do you mind if I rain check?
37:47Do I mind if you bail to run off with a literal model
37:51who also happens to be your ex-girlfriend?
37:54Hm, let me think about that.
37:56I know it's a little bit weird, but I promise,
37:58she just wants to stop by, show me some pictures,
38:01and she's leaving again in like a week.
38:03Wait, wait, she's coming over to your place?
38:05Why can't you just insta-stalk her like any normal ex-boyfriend?
38:10Actually, uh, do not.
38:13She is the literal girl version of you.
38:16That's exactly why we didn't work.
38:17Trust me, it's strictly a friend thing.
38:19I don't know.
38:20I know who you guys were when you moved together.
38:22You couldn't keep your hands off each other.
38:24Yeah, now I can't keep my hands off you.
38:26I'm being serious.
38:28We both have exes, Claire, come on.
38:30Don't forget I had to watch you date my brother for two years.
38:33Don't forget I had to watch you date my brother for two years.
38:36Okay, I don't want to fight.
38:38I just, I really wanted to spend time with you tonight.
38:41I was hoping this could be our special.
38:45She's here, I gotta go.
38:46Love you.
39:00I know I said I wanted updates, but definitely did not mean in real time.
39:04Ha ha, funny.
39:06You know what else is funny?
39:08Damon running off with his ex-girlfriend.
39:10Wow, which one?
39:12Please don't say Natasha.
39:17Didn't she move to the Philippines?
39:19Thailand.
39:20And just for the year, sadly.
39:23Damon finally moving on must have triggered her spidey sense
39:26and now she's returned to ruin my perfect night.
39:29Claire, she's an influencer, not a comic book villain.
39:32Same difference.
39:33Okay, Natasha's back, but that doesn't have to mean anything.
39:36Was Damon acting excited or weird?
39:39He showered.
39:41Okay, he's pretty.
39:43He does that.
39:45Anything else?
39:47I trust Damon, I don't trust her.
39:51Shit, she just posted a story.
39:54I can't look at it, she'll know.
39:56She has 80,000 followers, she's not gonna see your name.
39:59I can't look, Zoe, you look.
40:03What is it?
40:05Are they kissing?
40:06Are they back together?
40:08Okay, maybe you should look at it so you can stop freaking out.
40:17Why would you have me look at that?
40:23This is it.
40:24They're gonna get married, have two and a half kids, and have a yurt in Iceland.
40:28You know, I did hear that Reykjavik is really beautiful in springtime, actually.
40:34Again, with the not helping.
40:36But this was supposed to be our biggest night of our lives, I'm allowed to be disappointed.
40:40But you're being insane.
40:42Damon loves you, he's not getting back together with Natasha.
40:45Did you see the photo?
40:47He is supposed to be drinking and snuggling with me, not her.
40:51They're not snuggling.
40:53And to be fair, you didn't tell him about this perfect night, so you can't be mad at him for not being a mind reader.
40:58You didn't tell him about this perfect night, so you can't be mad at him for not being a mind reader.
41:04What's going on? Why are you taking my side on this?
41:07Nothing's wrong with me, I'm just saying that, like...
41:11Whatever, I gotta go.
41:13Don't trip, I'm sure it'll be fine.
41:29Hi.
41:30You calling from Reykjavik?
41:31What?
41:32Nothing.
41:34Where are you? I thought you were hanging out with Natasha.
41:37Uh, yeah, I was, but, you know, there's only so many pictures of Thailand a person can take.
41:41What happened?
41:42Nothing, what? Nothing.
41:44Nothing nothing, or something nothing?
41:47You were right.
41:49That was a bad idea, it was stupid for me to think we could just hang as friends.
41:53She hasn't changed at all, I mean, she invited me to go to Bali with her, and she tried to kiss me.
41:58Wait, you kissed?
42:01No, no, she tried. Look, I'm really sorry, Claire, I shouldn't have put myself in that position.
42:06Did you want to kiss her?
42:08No way, are you kidding? You're the only person I want to kiss, like, ever.
42:13Why don't you say that to my face?
42:16Why don't you let me up? I'm outside.
42:19You're here? Wait, are you sure? I only have 700 followers.
42:24Please, you know she bought all those followers, right?
42:26What?
42:28100%. But, do I see some black silk under there? I'm much more interested in that. Come on, let me up.
42:36Keep going. Now, target zone for the straight punches, right for the front of the face, palms are down, elbows are tight. There we go.
42:43Damon's texted me, I love you, three times since this morning.
42:48Who knew he'd get so mushy after sex?
42:50That's awesome.
42:52And he took me out for breakfast.
42:54Did I say that already?
42:56Like, four times.
42:58Oh, well, now I guess I said it.
43:01Did I say that already?
43:02Like, four times.
43:04Oh, well, now I guess I said it five.
43:06Anyway, did you hear that Natasha pays for her followers?
43:09How embarrassing and sad is that?
43:13Damon was talking about how-
43:15Upper cuts, target zone, where is it? Underneath the chin, elbows tight to the body.
43:18Can you turn that down?
43:20Wow, that's actually the first question you've asked me in months.
43:25Whoa, are you mad at me?
43:27Not mad, I'm just tired.
43:29Well, we can pause it, I mean-
43:31No, Claire, I'm tired of this one-sided friendship dance that we've been doing since you started dating Damon.
43:37I don't know what you're talking about.
43:39You realize that we were supposed to go to homecoming together, right?
43:42And then Damon came, and the only time you call me is to ask or talk about Damon, and now Damon's calling me to talk about you, and I am tired of it.
43:51We're supposed to be best friends, right?
43:53I am your best friend.
43:54No, I'm your best friend, and you've been asleep at the wheel.
43:57I am your best friend.
43:59No, I'm your best friend, and you've been asleep at the wheel.
44:02Well, I'm sorry I'm talking a little too much about my boyfriend, but I don't think it's fair to say that I've been a bad friend, I mean-
44:08Well, I think a good friend would notice that their best friend has been going through something huge the past few months.
44:15Oh my god, what? Zoe, are you okay?
44:18Yeah, I'm actually great. I've been seeing someone, and it's getting pretty serious, but it's been exhausting not being able to just talk to you about it.
44:30You can talk to me about anything. This is so exciting, who is it?
44:34It's not important.
44:35What do you mean it's not important? I want to know who stole my bestie's heart, come on!
44:41She didn't steal anything, it just kind of happened. I didn't think we'd get along so well, but she's just perfect.
44:51Okay, so we've established it's a girl. I mean, that shrinks the pool a little, but you still haven't given me a good enough hint.
44:59Okay, maybe she's not perfect, and it's just like the honeymoon phase talking. I don't know. I don't know what we are.
45:07It's like we're dating, but we haven't put a label on it yet. I guess it's just like a little bit more complicated for Chelsea.
45:16What does Chelsea have to do with this?
45:19Because I'm the first girl she's ever been with.
45:22I guess it's just like a little bit more complicated for Chelsea.
45:26What does Chelsea have to do with this?
45:29Because I'm the first girl she's ever been with.
45:32Hold on. You're dating Chelsea? Like, like ruined my life, Chelsea. Are you kidding me? We hate Chelsea!
45:42You know she broke up with Jake and he's like devastated, right?
45:45Okay, but we don't care about Jake. We care about me, right?
45:49So you're the other woman now.
45:51That's not fair. Especially because she wasn't even that into him.
45:55I'm sorry, what? She weaseled into our two-year relationship because she wasn't that into him?
46:01Claire, why are you so wrapped up in that?
46:03Aren't you in heaven with Damon? Because I haven't heard you shut up about him in the last three months.
46:08Well, I'm sorry I didn't shut up long enough to hear of your disastrous plan to date the she-devil herself.
46:14I would have talked you out of it.
46:16You don't even know her, Claire.
46:18Seems like I don't know either of you.
46:20And whose fault is that?
46:22Listen, I can tell you exactly what Damon had for breakfast.
46:26But as soon as I share an important detail of my love life for once,
46:29you get up on your high horse and you rain judgment on everyone below you.
46:34I'm over it.
46:45Well, that went well.
46:47Uh-oh. How bad?
46:49If a dumpster fire filled with fuzzy puppies was a 10, then that was a 14.7.
46:56Gross.
46:57I'm sorry, babe. I know it couldn't have been easy.
47:00But at least Claire stopped talking long enough for you to tell her.
47:03That feels like a small win.
47:05I guess.
47:06I don't know, it's hard because I don't even know what I'm supposed to be telling her.
47:10Like, I didn't say that you were my girlfriend because you and Jake just broke up and I totally respect that.
47:16I think after last night, it's pretty safe to say you're my girlfriend, Zoe.
47:22Cool.
47:24Cool.
47:26Chelsea, I really like you and I haven't been this happy with someone in a long time.
47:32I just wish that Claire could get her head out of her butt for five seconds to be excited for me.
47:39Whatever.
47:41I don't need her.
47:42I have you.
47:43As much as I'd love to have Claire out of my life forever, you guys have way too much history to throw it away.
47:49But that dumpster fire I was talking about? Yeah, it's active.
47:53Babe, I'm serious. You guys have been friends forever and I'm sure you've taken your turns over the years being the needy one.
47:59Babe, I'm serious. You guys have been friends forever and I'm sure you've taken your turns over the years being the needy one.
48:06Yeah, well, her 90 days have expired. They're done. I'm over it.
48:11I've never known you to be the type to not say what's on your mind, but for some reason with Claire you just bottled up and it's like you forgot how to stand up for yourself.
48:20Well, she dominates every single conversation with, me and Damon did this and me and Damon did that.
48:26So you're telling me you haven't had a single chance to tell her about us? Or about how you were feeling?
48:32Or you may be holding back because you knew how she'd respond.
48:36Maybe. Claire's the one who needs to apologize, but she's not the only one in the wrong.
48:45Why do you have to be so perfect?
48:48Bad habit.
48:50Alright, let me figure this out.
48:53Okay, call me back. Bye.
48:58Hey, what's going on?
49:00Hey, what's going on?
49:02Chelsea? Did I open a cursed box? Was I a serial killer in a past life?
49:06What horrible karma am I due that Chelsea exists to date everyone I love?
49:11She hasn't dated me.
49:12I will literally murder.
49:14She hasn't dated me.
49:15I will literally murder.
49:17Sounds like you'll be a serial killer in this life too.
49:20Why aren't you more bothered by this? Don't you feel bad for Jake?
49:23No, do you?
49:26No? Look, she has just weaseled her way through our entire friend group and I'm sick of it.
49:31I thought you guys were becoming buds. Didn't she set you up with Miko?
49:34Oh yeah, another way how she's ruined our lives.
49:38Why can't she just stay in her lane?
49:42What?
49:44Nothing, I just... I hope you weren't like this with Zoe.
49:48I think it's cool. Zoe's never really had a relationship stick, has she?
49:51So maybe the fact that she's bringing this up to you could be something serious.
49:56Why'd she wait so long to tell me then?
49:58Maybe because she knew you were going to act like you did?
50:01Okay, so you think I'm the jerk?
50:04No, no. I just... I think it's... maybe it's your turn to be the best friend.
50:09Yeah, the best friend to someone who's just screamed at me?
50:12Zoe's literally never screamed at anyone. She's the chillest person I know.
50:16I'm sorry to say it, babe. You know I'm on your side, but if she's this upset...
50:21I was wrong.
50:23You're still very cute, though. And I bet you're even cuter when you apologize.
50:28Not that I've ever seen it, but I'm sure we'll get there one day.
50:32Don't hold your breath.
50:36Okay. I am going to give her the best, best friend apology she's ever had.
50:43You got this. I'm proud of you.
50:46And thanks for loving me, even though I'm a teeny tiny bit difficult.
50:52Of course. You got this.
50:59Pick up. Please pick up.
51:03Never have I ever been the biggest jerk in the history of the world.
51:07I was gonna say been so selfish to someone who's always been there for me, but yours works too.
51:14I messed up.
51:16You messed up big time.
51:17I know. I freaked. I'm just, I'm so tired of hearing Chelsea's name.
51:24But that doesn't matter. Because this isn't about me.
51:29Well, you're gonna be hearing it a lot more.
51:32Seriously, Claire. I've never felt this way about anybody before.
51:38I think she might be my person.
51:42If you're happy, I'm happy. Truly.
51:46Look, I love you, so you're my best friend.
51:50And I'm yours, and you are not allowed to replace me.
51:54You're my best friend. And I'm yours, and you are not allowed to replace me.
51:59You know there's an app for that? Best Friend for Hire?
52:02Yeah, but unfortunately they don't seem to have anybody as good as you.
52:07I checked.
52:12I'm sorry too. I should have told you way sooner.
52:16It's just I was afraid that you were gonna freak out, which you did.
52:20And I know Chelsea's probably the worst person for this to happen with,
52:24but if you guys just gave each other a chance, I'm sure you would get along.
52:29Wait, Chelsea doesn't like me?
52:35But if you like her, I guess she can't be all that bad.
52:42Now, spill the deets. You have dirt to catch me up on.
52:46Well, let's just say last night wasn't just your special night.
