00:00:00You ready to party? I don't think we've pre-gamed enough
00:00:13gaming girls to wait for that. The game has begun.
00:00:15I really don't think it's too late for us to just go home.
00:00:18No, it's too late. You've done this yourself, and I quote,
00:00:22I 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
00:00:33and have a good time. Okay. Okay. You're right. Let's go.
00:00:39That's what you're falling for. I, uh, thanks.
00:00:57Girl, 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
00:01:04too real and too fast. Wait, wait, wait.
00:01:06Adam, that smut writer you got hung up on? It's not smut. Okay. He writes about love
00:01:13and tragedies and everything in between. And I don't just read them. We talk about them,
00:01:18about ourselves, about what it means to be alive. Hon, you never even met this guy.
00:01:26I was going to Megan. We had set up a date and he ghosted me. I don't think I can forgive him,
00:01:32but I can't forget him. I mean, he's the whole reason that I'm an English literature.
00:01:36Yeah. Okay. So tonight we are undoing all that damage. You take this
00:01:41and I need to dance. So see ya. Wait, he's leaving me?
00:01:46Oh, I'll go see if your lover boy wants to dip you again.
00:02:16Oh, hey. I'm good, thank you. You'll be great.
00:02:30Did you really think that was going to work, creep? You want to raise a hand?
00:02:35Raise one of me? It's cool, dude. Really, it's cool. I've been drinking a little bit.
00:02:40I'm sorry, really. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get out. It's cool.
00:02:46Are you okay? No, I'm, I don't go to many parties. This is all.
00:03:00He's gone. That's twice a night. I save you. Do you like playing dams on the streets?
00:03:07No, I, you're my dancer. I'm your night, uh,
00:03:11uh, right. Bye.
00:03:21Okay. Okay. Hey, excuse me. Sorry. So sorry. Okay.
00:03:31Oh my God. What? What is going on? What happened? I don't know why I thought I could just go out
00:03:36for one night and expect everything to go perfectly. I'm an idiot. I have one guy almost
00:03:39hit me, hit you. Wait, who, where he's gone. And the guy who caught me earlier saved me again.
00:03:45And I thought he was flirting with me. So I tried to throw it back, but I screwed that up.
00:03:49Hey, he's a guy. It's hard to just pull up your chances. So you think
00:03:53he thinks I'm insane. I think I called him my night. I don't know. I'm trying to block it all
00:03:58out already. You win some, you lose some. Let's just go home and binge some ice cream and go more
00:04:06girls. Yeah. Hey, damsel, wait up. We be cool.
00:04:15She had run far trying out, run her own heart. Wait, is that from forgotten garden?
00:04:22So how'd you pay for reader? And as a runner, where are you going? I just thought it was
00:04:27better if I cut my losses for the night and give up flirting maybe forever.
00:04:33Um, was that what all that falling down and getting into fights was? I was flirting
00:04:40or even trying to save me back there. I'll be your damsel. If you play my night, that rescues.
00:04:48I'm actually really glad you didn't say, well, how about the truth? My friend dragged me to
00:04:53this party because she thinks I need to have fun in real life. And I think you're super hot,
00:04:59way too much of a list to do anything.
00:05:07How's that fun?
00:05:16What? I want to hear you say it. Say what?
00:05:30You want me now? I want him now.
00:06:30Okay.
00:06:51Oh, so you're leaving. Well, you know, I'm going to take my shirt too.
00:06:56Oh, I just thought we had a great time last night.
00:07:00We did. He said, you want to have some fun and you got it.
00:07:04Let me tell you, I'm having a blast now, but I'm just really not looking for anything beyond
00:07:08one night, the shirt, the staying over. I can only break so many of my own rules
00:07:15here. I'd hate for you to break some of your made up rules.
00:07:36Oh my God. That does not look like the face of one who's just had the best night of her life.
00:07:41It's not. Oh, honey, what happened?
00:07:46It's like there was something about this guy. He and I were getting along so well.
00:07:51He was passionate, but smart too. He quoted my favorite book, The Forgotten Garden.
00:07:57Yeah. Never heard of that. But he sounds like your exact type. That's all that matters.
00:08:02But then it's like I slept with Jekyll and woke up with Hyde.
00:08:07Oh, he's one of those? He basically kicked me out of the house.
00:08:12What? I'm telling you,
00:08:13he's two different people and one of them wants nothing to do with me.
00:08:17Damn. Well, the beauty of one night stands is that you'll never have to see his face again.
00:08:24But what if he's in my class? No, no. He probably doesn't even go here.
00:08:30He's probably one of those locals that likes to hang around college kids.
00:08:34Yeah, girls. I'm going to shower.
00:08:37Yeah, go wash up.
00:09:03Good morning, class, and welcome to the start of a new year.
00:09:27Now, I 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. Or is it short-lived?
00:09:38Well, anyway, for the first two weeks of this semester,
00:09:41I will be showing your new creative writing professor, The Ropes.
00:09:45He's running a little behind. Oh, my God. If it's Professor McSteamy
00:09:47I saw in the hall today, I will not be able to concentrate.
00:09:50Ah, here he is now. Mr. Mitchell.
00:09:56Oh, my God. That's him.
00:09:58Now, this is Mr. Mitchell's first year as a professor,
00:10:01but he was one of my best students not too long ago.
00:10:06I assure you, you are in capable hands.
00:10:11Anything you'd like to say?
00:10:14Uh, I, yeah, it's great to be here. It's a good day.
00:10:21Looking forward to it, uh, teaching.
00:10:23I promise you, he's much better on the page.
00:10:33All right, folks, that's it. Thanks. See you tomorrow. At least he will.
00:10:48Hey, um, I'm sorry, who are we?
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,
00:10:58and 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.
00:11:10It wasn't my intentions to make you feel like-
00:11:12Like 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.
00:11:20Honestly, I didn't know I was going to be a professor that night.
00:11:25I just finished grad school. No clue where to go from there.
00:11:29And if I had known, I probably wouldn't have even followed you outside and all the rest.
00:11:34You're not the only one who regrets what we did, but don't worry, it'll never happen again.
00:11:50Hey, Philly.
00:12:01You good? What's got you all worked up?
00:12:03Do you remember that guy, Mr. Jekyll and Hyde?
00:12:06Yeah. 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.
00:12:17I mean, why though? It's not like you're going to hook up with him again.
00:12:20Miss, you forgot something. You left it in the hallway.
00:12:24I 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. I was afraid if I left it in the lost and found,
00:12:32I 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.
00:12:42I'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.
00:13:11What?
00:13:12He put his name in my phone.
00:13:14I know, but the crazy thing is,
00:13:16is meet-cutes and gestures like this only make me think of Adam and his stories.
00:13:21Oh, please. It's probably for the best that he stopped catfishing you.
00:13:26Forget him. Now, Armand, he's your real-life French lover, okay?
00:13:34Good guys are hard to come by nowadays.
00:13:35You better hop on that before somebody else does.
00:13:44Trash and garbage, too.
00:14:14Hey, Tui.
00:14:39Chase. Mr. Mitchell.
00:14:44I 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.
00:14:51What's the quote?
00:14:52Those who can't do, teach.
00:14:54Teachers do plenty.
00:14:56Knowledge 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.
00:15:03Doesn't seem to be too common these days.
00:15:05You sound like Professor Connor.
00:15:08Well, that's fine, as long as you don't think I look like him.
00:15:11What are those?
00:15:12From Professor Connor. He said you know what to do with them.
00:15:15You didn't volunteer to bring them, did you?
00:15:17I'll leave you alone to flatter yourself.
00:15:19And that wasn't a no.
00:15:20I thought you said you wanted to keep our personal lives separate.
00:15:23Isn't that what you want?
00:15:25What I want doesn't matter.
00:15:27What matters is what we are, teacher and student.
00:15:30Well, the next time you think about flirting with me, remember what we are.
00:15:35I can manage if you can.
00:15:37Oh, believe it or not, I can.
00:15:40Oh, believe me, that won't be an issue.
00:15:43Thank you for dropping off the papers,
00:15:45but next time only visit when you really need me.
00:15:48You won't be seeing much of me then.
00:16:01Julie.
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?
00:16:09A face as beautiful does not deserve a frown.
00:16:11I just...
00:16:13It's nothing.
00:16:14One of my teachers is an ass.
00:16:16Sounds like you need a break from school.
00:16:18Let me cheer you up.
00:16:20Whatever you want.
00:16:22How about I cook you some boeuf bourguignon,
00:16:25we watch a French movie,
00:16:26and we have a little tour of France?
00:16:28How does that sound?
00:16:29That might get me out of it.
00:16:31Yeah?
00:16:31How about dancing?
00:16:33Would you like that?
00:16:38So what do you think?
00:16:55Does this hold up to your dirty dancing?
00:16:58It nothing ever does.
00:17:00But it was good.
00:17:01Well, good for you then,
00:17:02because I had another one for you.
00:17:04There is a screening of La Vie en Rose this Friday.
00:17:07One of my favorites.
00:17:09Would you come with me?
00:17:11Friday is actually my birthday.
00:17:13That sounds nice.
00:17:14I don't have anything planned.
00:17:16Because I'm cool with that.
00:17:17Your birthday?
00:17:19I mean, Thouly, a movie won't do it.
00:17:21Like, you deserve a party.
00:17:23Let me host a, what do you say,
00:17:26Big Bash?
00:17:29We barely know each other.
00:17:30You don't have to do that.
00:17:31Please, Thouly, I insist.
00:17:32Let me do that for you.
00:17:34Like, let's take it as the beginning of a new year.
00:17:37The year of Thouly.
00:17:39Okay.
00:17:55Thouly, what are you doing?
00:17:59I'm reading some of Adam's old stories.
00:18:01What?
00:18:02I thought everything with Armand was going so good.
00:18:05It did.
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.
00:18:12There's no way that he's that good of a writer.
00:18:15Okay.
00:18:17Here.
00:18:18The blue blossom fields matched her eyes and the spirit within them.
00:18:22That 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.
00:18:40That is good.
00:18:42Too bad he's not real.
00:18:43He was real, Megan.
00:18:47But he just vanished.
00:18:51I don't know if I can take that kind of rejection again.
00:18:54Honey, Armand is a real-life human with real-life humans, I'm gonna tell you.
00:19:01And he's throwing you a birthday party in an hour.
00:19:04He won't ghost you like Adam.
00:19:07I won't let him.
00:19:10That's enough of that, okay?
00:19:13Get ready for your party.
00:19:17Okay.
00:19:27Okay.
00:19:31Hey.
00:19:41Come in.
00:19:42Everyone, say hi to Julie, it's her birthday.
00:19:45Happy birthday!
00:19:48Armand, come on, let's go to the club, it'll be fun.
00:19:51No, Lucien.
00:20:01Come dance with me.
00:20:03Sorry, I don't know.
00:20:05Okay, but before the end of the night, we're dancing, right?
00:20:11Here, take this.
00:20:15Julie, 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.
00:20:27All right, now that's what I'm talking about, girl.
00:20:29Come on.
00:20:31Okay.
00:20:37Julie, 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 I love more, though.
00:20:47Armand, I've had too much to drink.
00:20:49Julie, 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.
00:20:58Julie, you're making a scene right now.
00:20:59I'm gonna make a scene if you grab me like that.
00:21:02I'm leaving.
00:21:23Julie?
00:21:24Oh, it's you.
00:21:26Are you okay?
00:21:28No, I'm walking home.
00:21:30How far away is your place?
00:21:33I'm almost there.
00:21:34Just three, four more miles.
00:21:39Okay, come on.
00:21:41I'm gonna take you home after a glass of water.
00:21:44What do you care?
00:21:46Julie, I'm trying to help you.
00:21:51I thought you wanted to keep it professional, yes?
00:21:55Mr. Mitchell?
00:21:56I am not your professor right now.
00:21:58I'm just someone who cares about seeing you wake up tomorrow safe.
00:22:04Come on.
00:22:10You really care, don't you?
00:22:12Like, more than just someone wanting me to get home safe, you care about me.
00:22:19I'm trying so hard not to.
00:22:21You can do anything to me and it wouldn't be fair.
00:22:25It would be worse.
00:22:27Well, it wouldn't be right, either.
00:22:30That's the thing.
00:22:33It may seem wrong, but it's just the right time.
00:22:39What was that?
00:22:48My heart shattered, because I knew I wouldn't be there when she opened them again.
00:23:26I had to go run an errand.
00:23:33There's some coffee in the kitchen.
00:23:35Advil on the counter.
00:23:36Hope your head doesn't hurt too much.
00:23:48Jeez, Julie!
00:23:50Why weren't you off with the call to cops?
00:23:52I'm sorry.
00:23:53Honey.
00:23:55What happened?
00:23:57I left the party after Armand basically forced himself on me.
00:24:01What?
00:24:01My 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.
00:24:09I 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.
00:24:17I 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.
00:24:37Julie.
00:24:39Chase.
00:24:40Are you feeling better?
00:24:42I am, thanks.
00:24:44I wanted to apologize.
00:24:46I wasn't...
00:24:49I wasn't in a good place.
00:24:51Thank you for taking care of me.
00:24:53Of course.
00:24:55I'm sorry I couldn't be there when you woke up, but it's 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?
00:25:24This is a bad idea.
00:25:29I could lose my job.
00:25:30I could get kicked out of school.
00:25:32The risk is too high.
00:25:33We got to keep this completely academic.
00:25:36I'm glad we agree.
00:25:38The only way I'm gonna allow myself to do this is if it's no feelings, just fun.
00:25:57Anything else is just too messy and you can do that.
00:26:03You can be my professor with benefits.
00:26:06Oh god, I hate the sound of that.
00:26:09Then we don't have to close anything.
00:26:11Just our dirty little secret.
00:26:23Not here.
00:26:36So
00:26:59love is divine only and difficult always.
00:27:04Does anyone know who said that?
00:27:07Toni Morrison.
00:27:08Great job, Tui.
00:27:09Great job, Tui.
00:27:12I bet she hears that every night.
00:27:13She's been teacher's pet all semester, hasn't she?
00:27:15I'm gonna visit his office later today and maybe I'll get some extra credit too.
00:27:19You 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.
00:27:58You know, Cassandra and her cronies won't shut up about you and they're
00:28:01starting to bring me into it now too.
00:28:03You have no reason to be jealous.
00:28:05Trust me.
00:28:06I only sleep with one student at a time.
00:28:09Ha ha.
00:28:16Dinner is ready.
00:28:19Tui, that's my novel.
00:28:21It's not.
00:28:22I love it.
00:28:23I'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?
00:28:31Yeah, it's a diamond in the rough.
00:28:34I'll show you the rough.
00:28:43Which character grew up in Hades?
00:28:45Uh, John T.
00:28:50Oh, I'll get it.
00:28:56Hi, uh, could I talk to Tuli?
00:29:00I'll check.
00:29:03It's Armand.
00:29:10I'll be in the other room if you need me.
00:29:12Okay.
00:29:17Hi, um, I'm sorry for how I acted.
00:29:22Not just for trying to kiss you, but I shouldn't have let you go
00:29:26without making sure you had a safe way home.
00:29:29I made it home safe.
00:29:30Bumped 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, uh, I'm trying to show you that I'm the gentleman you deserve.
00:29:44Hey, uh, why don't we go on a date together?
00:29:46I mean a real one.
00:29:47Just you and I.
00:29:48No French film, no party.
00:29:51Just us.
00:29:53What do you think about that?
00:29:55Not right now.
00:30:01So, are you gonna go out with him?
00:30:05I don't know.
00:30:05I told him not right now.
00:30:07Is it because of the party?
00:30:09I totally get that.
00:30:10Well, um, I've kind of been hooking up with someone.
00:30:16Ooh, spicy.
00:30:18Well, it better not be your teacher, because that would be crazy.
00:30:23Tuli?
00:30:25No, Tuli!
00:30:26Well, it better be hot.
00:30:27Oh, it's hot.
00:30:29You're gonna get in trouble, girl.
00:30:31I am the trouble.
00:30:32Oh my god.
00:30:33Come here.
00:30:34Oh my god.
00:30:36Just be careful, okay?
00:30:38Yeah.
00:30:38All right.
00:30:44What does your piece have to say?
00:30:45Behind everything written on the page, what is the reader supposed to walk away from your story with?
00:30:50Behind everything written on the page,
00:30:52what 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,
00:31:01or To Kill a Mockingbird, excuse me.
00:31:07What was I saying?
00:31:14You're gonna get me in trouble with those Freudian slips in class.
00:31:17I'm the one who's gonna get into trouble.
00:31:19And you loved it, I could tell.
00:31:21I've got a hot professor inserting my name into classic literature titles.
00:31:27It's not to love.
00:31:28Wait till we talk about a Tuli of two cities.
00:31:31No, shut up.
00:31:31All right, catch 22.
00:31:33I am shutting you up, Ben.
00:31:50Ugh, yeah, if I don't get an A this semester, my mom's totally gonna cut off my meal card.
00:31:54Yeah, I know, who does that?
00:31:56Like, totally psychotic.
00:31:57Like, I'm already suffering enough.
00:32:06Hello, Mr. Mitchell.
00:32:08Hey, Sandra.
00:32:09I just wanted to turn in this paper a little early this week.
00:32:12Yeah, absolutely.
00:32:14Is everything okay?
00:32:15Yeah, it's, uh, it's all part of the grading process.
00:32:19Interesting.
00:32:21Thanks.
00:32:30That was too close.
00:32:32No more of that here.
00:32:34I'll see you later tonight, then.
00:32:37Now, wait a few seconds.
00:32:39You might still be able to see me.
00:32:41Yeah.
00:32:42Now, wait a few seconds.
00:32:44You might still be out there.
00:32:45Oh, yeah?
00:32:46What are we supposed to do while we wait?
00:32:48Anything what we were doing before.
00:32:58Damn, my notebook.
00:33:24That bastard.
00:33:25That's why he wanted to keep it physical.
00:33:26I can't believe I let him lead me on like that.
00:33:29You think he could be married?
00:33:30I don't know.
00:33:31Should I call him, confront him?
00:33:33Drop him.
00:33:34If he's gonna treat you like you're nothing, you 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, and you're his student.
00:33:48But what else is he hiding from you if he's, like, seeing this other woman?
00:33:52You're right.
00:33:53I know.
00:33:57Armand, I 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?
00:34:23Oh, it's my dad.
00:34:24Hey, Dad.
00:34:32What?
00:34:33It's a regular move.
00:34:38And that's all, everyone.
00:34:41Come back Monday with those revisions, and have a great weekend.
00:34:55Hey, it's Tuli.
00:34:57Just leave me a message.
00:35:07Hi, uh, is Tuli here?
00:35:10Sorry, I'm alone.
00:35:10She's not here.
00:35:12Can you give her that?
00:35:13Thanks.
00:35:15Bye.
00:35:21Hello?
00:35:22There's the rain check on Armand, but he said he's sorry for your loss and gave you these.
00:35:26Tulips?
00:35:27Yeah.
00:35:30They're so pretty.
00:35:42Come on, tell me what's going on.
00:35:44Really, it's nothing.
00:35:48B.S. I know when you've got girl problems.
00:35:52I'm telling you, I'm only focusing on writing and teaching.
00:35:57That's enough to deal with.
00:36:01I can always tell.
00:36:03Basic, bro.
00:36:04Twin intuition is a real thing.
00:36:06That really only seems to go one way.
00:36:10Well, that's because your head's always in the clouds.
00:36:12Or 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... you'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.
00:36:59And I tried.
00:37:01My heart wasn't in it.
00:37:03I'm better off just not starting down that path again.
00:37:08Jace, come on.
00:37:10Do you really believe that?
00:37:20Jace, I'm sorry I missed the class.
00:37:24It's been a rough few days.
00:37:25Oh yeah, I bet.
00:37:27I saw Armand chilling up at your house with flowers.
00:37:29Are you guys... dating?
00:37:32No.
00:37:34So that's why you haven't been answering my calls?
00:37:36What do you care if I'm dating someone?
00:37:37You're not exactly single yourself, are you?
00:37:42I guess you're right.
00:37:43I'm single.
00:37:44I'm single.
00:37:44I'm single.
00:37:45I'm single.
00:37:46I'm single.
00:37:46I'm single.
00:37:47I'm single.
00:37:47I'm single.
00:37:48I'm single.
00:37:48I'm single.
00:37:49I'm single.
00:37:49I'm single.
00:37:50I can see you're busy.
00:37:51I'll leave you two alone.
00:37:52No, Tuli, come back.
00:37:53I want you to meet someone.
00:37:56Janelle?
00:37:56Is this Tuli?
00:37:58Tuli is my sister, Janelle.
00:38:01So, you're the one that's got my brother all twisted up in knots.
00:38:04Janelle?
00:38:06I'm sorry.
00:38:07I don't know why I just showed up like this.
00:38:08Tuli, no need to apologize.
00:38:11You both started this off badly.
00:38:13Come inside.
00:38:20Hi.
00:38:22Jace, be a good host and get the bottle of wine and 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.
00:38:44Did Jace tell you that?
00:38:46He doesn't really talk about himself, not really.
00:38:49I don't even know his middle name.
00:38:52Jace and I are just...
00:38:55We're just having a flame, 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 won't stop.
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 he has his reasons.
00:39:19I'll let you two talk.
00:39:44I'm sorry for lashing out.
00:39:47You're grieving.
00:39:48Believe me, I understand.
00:39:52Do you want to tell me about her?
00:39:58Grandma was always there for us.
00:40:01More than your normal, sweet old grandma.
00:40:05She was special, patient, kind.
00:40:11Everything that my mom wasn't.
00:40:13And when my mom and dad broke up, she moved in to take care of us.
00:40:21My first romance novels were the ones that I would sneak out of her room.
00:40:25She said it was okay.
00:40:27I just wasn't allowed to explain anything to my dad.
00:40:32I just...
00:40:37If I had known that we were going to lose her so suddenly,
00:40:39I would have never told her.
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 and 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 to stop messing around and give you my heart.
00:41:12And I want to.
00:41:18Jace, I know you have feelings, don't you?
00:41:22Not just the sex.
00:41:23Not just the fun, real 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, Tuli.
00:41:38We've crossed too many lines.
00:41:39That's bullshit and you know it.
00:41:40Tell me the truth.
00:41:43Why are you pushing me away?
00:41:44What are you afraid of?
00:41:47You don't know me.
00:41:49You don't know what I've been through.
00:41:51That's exactly what I want to know.
00:41:54You never would have let me read your book if you didn't want more.
00:41:58No, I told myself I wouldn't get sucked into this.
00:42:01There's too much at stake.
00:42:03No 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.
00:42:10I don't know if I can.
00:42:14I don't know if you'll stay.
00:42:15My mother had her secrets.
00:42:17She left us high and dry, having planned her exit for years.
00:42:21I need to know that the man that I'm spending my time with isn't going to leave.
00:42:25That is me sharing myself with you, Jason.
00:42:28Why can't you do the same?
00:42:31Keep your secrets or keep me.
00:42:39Okay.
00:42:48Jace, don't let her slip away.
00:43:10So,
00:43:33thanks for coming to the funeral with me, Megan.
00:43:35Of course, girl.
00:43:36Your grandma was such a badass.
00:43:40Oh, I'll get it.
00:43:43Is Tuli here?
00:43:45She has a lot going on right now.
00:43:46I don't think she has time for you.
00:43:50Megan knows.
00:43:52Tuli, what do you even know about him?
00:43:53If he wants to tell me more, I'll listen.
00:44:07You want to know why I won't commit?
00:44:10Why I can't let you in the way you want?
00:44:15I was married for two years, and it started off great.
00:44:24I was in love.
00:44:27I thought I was, at least.
00:44:30We fell apart.
00:44:33She cheated.
00:44:34She threatened to ruin me when I tried to leave her.
00:44:43Still, I had to get out of it.
00:44:48I had lost so much.
00:44:52I had told myself that my book would come first,
00:44:58and I didn't have time to fall for someone.
00:45:05That's how I met you.
00:45:08Jeez.
00:45:34Ornette, I'm sorry.
00:45:57We can't be together.
00:46:00I wanted to feel the same sort of passion that you felt for me, but...
00:46:03Is this because of Professor Mitchell?
00:46:05What?
00:46:06What are you talking about?
00:46:07I saw him at your house today.
00:46:10I wanted to tell you about it, but it's complicated with him.
00:46:14I was never really sure about anything.
00:46:16Was our date really going to happen?
00:46:18Armand, yes, but I told you that my grandmother...
00:46:22Yes, yes, I know, but your heart was never really in it, was it?
00:46:26I 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.
00:46:37It's got to be more than just gestures.
00:46:40It's got to 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, too, or he's going to hurt you.
00:47:03No.
00:47:05Tully, I know he was hiding something.
00:47:17Well, it's over with Armand.
00:47:21Tully, I have to tell you something about Jace.
00:47:24What?
00:47:26Okay, um, remember 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.
00:47:38I know I'm nosy and awful friend, but please just hear me out.
00:47:44Megan, it's fine.
00:47:45What did you find out?
00:47:46Okay, well, I found his faculty page and his email, and I decided to search it up.
00:47:53Okay, and?
00:47:55You're going to want to sit down for this one.
00:48:03Okay.
00:48:05Jace's website was created using the same email as Adam's inkit account.
00:48:29I didn't hear you come in.
00:48:30Everything okay?
00:48:31No, Jace, it's not.
00:48:33Were you ever going to tell me?
00:48:35Tell you what?
00:48:36That you're Adam?
00:48:40No wonder I loved your writing.
00:48:41I've been reading it for years.
00:48:43Who's Adam, huh?
00:48:44Just some alter ego that you made up?
00:48:47Adam is my middle name.
00:48:50The person you're talking to is a real me.
00:48:53How long have you known?
00:48:54Was it before that first night?
00:48:56Did you, did you plan all this?
00:48:58No, I found out when I saw you in class months after that first night between us.
00:49:04You 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.
00:49:11Then why didn't you tell me even when we first started seeing each other?
00:49:17I was afraid you'd think I was manipulating you.
00:49:19What else am I supposed to call it when that's exactly what you're doing?
00:49:23Three years ago when we were supposed to meet, you were married, weren't you?
00:49:29The whole time we talked online, you were married.
00:49:34Yes.
00:49:35Unbelievable, Jace Adam.
00:49:37I don't know which version of you I'm more angry with.
00:49:51It's bad enough that he's my teacher, but this?
00:49:54I just think back on everything between us and wonder
00:49:57what he's been operating on behind the scenes.
00:50:01I knew something was wrong with him.
00:50:03That's why I had to look into it.
00:50:04Thank you for being nosy.
00:50:07You're right, and you'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.
00:50:20We are not letting him win this one, okay?
00:50:27Hmm.
00:50:51I am not sentimental.
00:50:53I am as romantic as you are.
00:50:55The 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.
00:51:07What does Fitzgerald mean by this?
00:51:09It sounds nice, but I don't think it's honest.
00:51:14How so?
00:51:16Because some people are neither.
00:51:19Some people just use others thinking that they won't last.
00:51:25And then they're glad to throw them away.
00:51:55So, yes, they called me back in to finish off your class.
00:52:17I'm sorry to say that Mr. Mitchell has resigned.
00:52:22Some administrative matter, that's all I'm going to say.
00:52:26So, help me get caught up with where we are in the assignment.
00:52:32Now, from what I understand, you're supposed to take one chapter out of the
00:52:36Weyland novels and write it in your own style.
00:52:46Chase.
00:52:48Cynthia, I'm just packing up.
00:52:51What happened?
00:52:52You tell me.
00:52:54Look, I know you're hurt.
00:52:56But I don't think you'd do anything like this.
00:53:15Julie.
00:53:16Did you do it?
00:53:17Do what?
00:53:18Tell me the truth.
00:53:19Did you report Chase to the school?
00:53:22I did report him because it was the right thing to do.
00:53:25Right thing?
00:53:26You only did that because I chose him over you.
00:53:28Can it be both, Julie?
00:53:30There are rules that exist and you can't deny that you broke them.
00:53:32Even if he doesn't hurt you, what is he going to do with the other student?
00:53:35The next student?
00:53:37Arman, you cost him his job, maybe his whole career.
00:53:40I did that, huh?
00:53:41What about him?
00:53:42What about you?
00:53:43You think you're innocent in all of that?
00:53:55Really?
00:53:57I 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 Tuli now with no secrets?
00:54:10That's the best part.
00:54:13Tuli's gone.
00:54:14We're...
00:54:16We're through.
00:54:19Chase, why?
00:54:19We didn't realize it, but we used to talk on a site where I would write my stories.
00:54:26I was married to Brooke.
00:54:29Things were already falling apart at that point.
00:54:33But when we set an actual date, I knew I had gone too far.
00:54:39I knew I had to break it off.
00:54:40I 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.
00:54:52So even when we started seeing each other as, well, us,
00:55:00I still couldn't tell her.
00:55:02I knew she wouldn't forgive me for ghosting her, for lying to her.
00:55:09And she didn't.
00:55:12She turned me in, and I deserved it.
00:55:18Well, what you don't deserve is to beat yourself up about this.
00:55:23You have to find a way to move on.
00:55:38Oh, my God.
00:55:51Tuls, we did it.
00:55:53No school, no books, no grades, no teachers.
00:55:57Sorry.
00:55:58Smart subject.
00:55:59No, you know, finally it's done.
00:56:01Okay, Tuls, I'm proud of you.
00:56:04You'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, he actually got it published.
00:56:36Is that the one you meant?
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.
00:56:49Too 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.
00:57:01Let's go.
00:57:09I don't know the time, I'm letting go.
00:57:13I want to find someone to love.
00:57:17I feel alive, I think I know.
00:57:21We're getting down, we're getting low.
00:57:28Low, low, low, low.
00:57:29We're getting down, we're getting low.
00:57:31Oh, my gosh, girl, did you see the guy who was dancing with you?
00:57:34Yes.
00:57:35Now that's how you cap off a college career.
00:57:37Yeah, it is.
00:57:38I need to hydrate.
00:57:39Night, Megan.
00:57:40Good night.
00:58:07They stood in the winter-withered garden, dead flowerbeds at their feet.
00:58:17John didn't notice.
00:58:18He 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.
00:58:33You're the one thing I can't change.
00:58:36And I'll never want to.
00:58:38He placed a flower in her hand.
00:58:41It was a tulip.
00:58:43Not dead, no.
00:58:45It was in full bloom.
00:59:05Oh, no.
00:59:20Oh, no.
00:59:35Your 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?
00:59:45I'm sorry, I shouldn't be here.
00:59:49Looks like you followed for me.
00:59:56Again and again.
00:59:58You're leaving?
00:59:59What about the line in the book?
01:00:01You left it on my doorstep for a reason.
01:00:05I wanted to be honest with you one last time.
01:00:08And the only way I thought you'd be willing to listen, after everything I'd done.
01:00:13Yeah, I gotta go.
01:00:16You're not getting off that easy.
01:00:18I need you to be open with me, Jace.
01:00:21Not through a book.
01:00:25I had always run from commitment,
01:00:27trying to think I was done with that life.
01:00:30But when we started seeing each other,
01:00:33keeping our secret,
01:00:35I 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?
01:01:15How the New York City sounds.
