00:01:00Do you believe in ghosts?
00:01:15Do I believe individuals can have a profound impact on the world long after they're gone?
00:01:20Yeah.
00:01:22But do I think they're, like, walking among us now?
00:01:24Probably not.
00:01:25Then heed the words I bring upon you this noon.
00:01:34Objects can certainly be enchanted with history.
00:01:37Or rather, haunted!
00:01:40Baba! Baba!
00:01:41She's a star!
00:01:43And entirely improvised.
00:01:45I'm impressed.
00:01:46Ooh, not too out there for you, Miss Ivy League.
00:01:49Don't call me that.
00:01:51I haven't even been accepted yet.
00:01:53Well, so you do believe in superstition.
00:01:54I just don't want to say, do, or think anything that might jeopardize my chances.
00:01:59That's...
00:01:59Whoa.
00:02:01Whoa there, Tiger.
00:02:03You are one of the most intelligent and capable people I've ever met.
00:02:07And you have perfect grades.
00:02:09You're like a shoe-in.
00:02:11Thanks.
00:02:11Can we go look at sweaters now?
00:02:14Yeah, this way, this way.
00:02:37What do you think of this one?
00:02:41Ruby.
00:02:43Huh?
00:02:44It's pretty!
00:02:46Isn't it supposed to be ugly?
00:02:48You really want to look ugly at our first Jessica Jacobs party?
00:02:51It's an ugly sweater party, right?
00:02:53Right, but I'm single, so I want to look hot.
00:02:57You always look hot, Alice.
00:03:00What'd you find?
00:03:03Cute!
00:03:05Happy belated birthday, my lovely Sagittarius.
00:03:08Thanks, Alice.
00:03:09Thank your sister for the invite.
00:03:10Blake's going too, right?
00:03:12Yeah, he's still working on his look.
00:03:15So what's going to happen after you two graduate?
00:03:18I don't know.
00:03:19I mean, I already told him in the beginning I just want something temporary.
00:03:22Everything is temporary, dear.
00:03:24So, Ruby, you submit your applications yet?
00:03:38Yes, 12 total.
00:03:52You're going to love college.
00:03:56I think I will.
00:03:56Hey, cutie.
00:03:58What you up to?
00:04:24Still studying.
00:04:32I want to do well tomorrow.
00:04:33Ruby?
00:04:46Yeah?
00:04:48Blake's outside for you.
00:04:50Oh.
00:04:51Okay.
00:04:53Are you going somewhere with him?
00:04:55No, Mom.
00:04:56It doesn't seem like the best timing to me.
00:05:03It's fine.
00:05:05I have been studying all weekend.
00:05:14Hey.
00:05:15Ruby.
00:05:15So what do I...
00:05:17Oh, this surprise.
00:05:19Oh.
00:05:20I just thought that even mad geniuses deserve a hot chocolate break every now and then.
00:05:24Helps fuel the, uh, star power.
00:05:27Hmm.
00:05:28Mad genius, huh?
00:05:29Hmm.
00:05:29Hmm.
00:05:34Thanks, Blake.
00:05:35This is sweet.
00:05:36Here comes Mr. Snowy.
00:05:45Here comes Mr. Snowy.
00:05:52Don't stay out here too long.
00:05:54It's cold tonight.
00:05:55So, what have you been up to tonight?
00:06:03Oh, you know, just, uh, watching this new show about the deep sea.
00:06:06Of course you were.
00:06:08Did you know that the ocean water has diluted gold in it?
00:06:11I didn't.
00:06:12That's pretty incredible.
00:06:13It's so diluted, though, that humans haven't even found a way to extract it yet.
00:06:17I hope they never do.
00:06:23Thanks for coming by tonight.
00:06:33Your dad did a good job.
00:06:35He has his moments, his projects.
00:06:39Sounds like someone else's set up.
00:06:43Alright.
00:06:44Time to go and let you get back to showing those stars who's boss.
00:06:47Like, you might be one of the most dorkiest people I know.
00:06:51That's the good thing, right?
00:06:54Definitely.
00:07:00Sweet dreams, Ruby.
00:07:17Don't stay out here too long.
00:07:25It's cold tonight.
00:07:29You're gonna love college.
00:07:33Doesn't seem like the best timing to me.
00:07:35for me.
00:07:56I mean, do you want people to take care of me?
00:08:57What's happening?
00:09:04Ruby!
00:09:20Hello?
00:09:21I'm right here!
00:09:27Where are you?
00:09:29Ruby!
00:09:30Help me!
00:09:31Please!
00:09:32Ruby!
00:09:33Hey, George!
00:09:34Where were you?
00:09:35I was looking everywhere for you.
00:09:36Oh, my God.
00:09:37Let me show you something.
00:09:40And now we go to our meteorology so that I have Pamela Atwood, ma'am.
00:09:41Thank you, Jeff.
00:09:42We will continue to see record-breaking heat all throughout New England this weekend.
00:09:43Thank you, Jeff.
00:09:44Thank you, Jeff.

00:09:51Good job, girls.
00:09:52Here in Massachusetts.
00:09:53The western side of the state will be getting the worst of it.
00:09:54Here in Massachusetts.
00:09:55The western side of the state will be getting the worst of it.
00:10:00But closer to the coast, the wind will be a welcome addition to the weather forecast.
00:10:02Thank you, Jeff.
00:10:03We will continue to see record-breaking heat all throughout New England this weekend.
00:10:12Dad, we fixed it!
00:10:15Good job, girls.
00:10:17Here in Massachusetts, the western side of the state will be getting the worst of it.
00:10:23But closer to the coast, the wind will be a welcome addition to the weather forecast.
00:10:28What are you doing, Ruby?
00:10:35Let's just put one orange and one cake in there.
00:10:41Let's do a little bit of a big step.
00:10:46Silver, silver, silver.
00:10:51Oh, I remember this game.
00:10:52Oh, my gosh.
00:10:53Leah looks so free.
00:10:54It's your turn, Ruby.
00:10:55Who are you and where did you come from?
00:10:56I'm the world's largest action.
00:10:58I can get you all the way from outer space.
00:11:00Woo!
00:11:01Next up, March!
00:11:02Woo!
00:11:03This must be the new image from Curiosity.
00:11:04I can get you all the way from outer space.
00:11:05Woo!
00:11:06Next up, March!
00:11:07Woo!
00:11:08This must be the new image from Curiosity.
00:11:10I can get you all the way from outer space.
00:11:11Woo!
00:11:12Next up, March!
00:11:13Woo!
00:11:14This must be the new image from Curiosity.
00:11:29Wow.
00:11:30Oh, there's Crab Nebula.
00:11:31And the Saturn rings.
00:11:33You're so adorable and you nerd out.
00:11:44Why do you like space so much anyways?
00:11:46Well, there's so much to explore.
00:11:49It's endless.
00:11:57Blake?
00:12:03What's wrong?
00:12:04It's just really hard for me, okay?
00:12:05What is?
00:12:06I think you should go.
00:12:33I never meant to hurt you.
00:12:48Coming through.
00:12:49Got some Christmas cheering to do.
00:12:53How about some light for our star of the season?
00:12:59As if she couldn't get any brighter already, huh?
00:13:03Uh, girl.
00:13:04That's right.
00:13:20Oh!
00:13:23Is there anything she can't do?
00:13:26Don't ruin it for us.
00:13:56What's next?
00:13:57What's next?
00:13:58We can't get all the fun things, too.
00:13:59It's fun.
00:14:01The moment, this is the night's in the future.
00:14:02We'll be looking forward to it.
00:14:03If I could leave the sun forever.
00:14:04No matter what it is, we'll be looking forward to it.
00:14:05I think we're looking forward to it.
00:14:06How many people are looking forward to the light?
00:14:08I wish it having a light.
00:14:09They just have really good work.
00:14:10I can't get back.
00:14:11I can't get the light.
00:14:12I don't even have some light.
00:14:13I don't even have an light.
00:14:14I can't get to it.
00:14:15It's no light.
00:14:16It's awesome.
00:14:17I can't get to it.
00:14:19But I can't get it.
00:14:20I can't get it.
00:14:21I don't have a light.
00:14:22Mom?
00:14:28Dad?
00:14:30Liam?
00:14:52Don't ruin it for us.
00:15:14I thought you studied for this.
00:15:18All that effort for nothing, for nothing.
00:15:26Ooh, not to let the famous Ivy League.
00:15:30Does it even matter that much?
00:15:34Everything is temporary, dear.
00:15:38They build your Ivy League dreams.
00:15:42Ruby, this is not good.
00:15:46Does it even matter that much?
00:15:50Of course it matters.
00:15:52But you've already applied.
00:15:54Yeah, and I still have to turn in my midterm grades.
00:16:00Look, I...
00:16:02I don't see any universe where a single test defines you.
00:16:04Yeah, maybe you're right.
00:16:06Probably got like an A on it anyways.
00:16:10I don't think I can do this.
00:16:12Oh no.
00:16:14I don't think I can do this.
00:16:16Oh no.
00:16:18I don't think I can do this.
00:16:20Damn, someone looks good for their age.
00:16:22We thought you could use these a bit early.
00:16:24Oh, what a lovely surprise.
00:16:26Thanks you guys.
00:16:28Happy closing night.
00:16:30Look, I hate to break it to you but they might kick you out of here.

00:16:38Alright.
00:16:39damn someone looks good for their age we thought you could use these a bit early
00:16:45oh what a lovely surprise

00:17:16it's my dad he's here
00:17:20oh shit yeah he flew back from l.a yesterday to surprise me
00:17:25oh that's so sweet it's the last thing i need the night before my final performance
00:17:30okay i'm sorry i'm just stressed
00:17:34it's okay girl me too
00:17:36well i'm here for you
00:17:39and i'm here for you
00:17:42so what can i do to help
00:17:45oh ruby i'll be fine i probably just need to stay distracted
00:17:49what's going on with you
00:17:52well i had this really intense dream the other night
00:17:56oh subconscious troubles lay it on me
00:17:59well it's blurry but blake was sobbing at one point and it was really hard to watch
00:18:07and then i was opening letters from college and they caught on fire
00:18:14trippy what did the letters say
00:18:17they were rejection letters all of them
00:18:21okay this is what we call an anxiety dream
00:18:25it's like your worst fears manifesting in a performance made just for you
00:18:29excellent
00:18:31i'm sorry you had to experience that
00:18:34for starters mercury is in retrograde so there's a lot of crazy energy in the air right now
00:18:43seriously this can heighten the different challenges for the signs
00:18:49for example sagittarius's tend not to like feeling stifled or controlled
00:18:55and they fear they may not reach their goals if something gets in their way
00:18:59hmm
00:19:00okay
00:19:02so what does that mean for gemini's
00:19:04oh look at you showing interest
00:19:07well we might not be as good at communicating
00:19:10but it's a good time to rekindle relationships
00:19:14so dad had good timing
00:19:18maybe
00:19:20but
00:19:21your dream
00:19:23or nightmare
00:19:25maybe an opportunity to address what's bothering you
00:19:28and deal with it accordingly
00:19:30seriously nightmares can be a great way to release emotion
00:19:35and then feel a sense of relief knowing it's over
00:19:38well i don't feel relief at all
00:19:42maybe try focusing on blake
00:19:45i'm so happy you have a water sign boyfriend to keep you calm
00:19:49he can probably help you feel better if you let him
00:19:54yeah maybe

00:27:28I'm not okay.
00:27:30I, I, I, I'm not okay.
00:27:36I'm not okay.
00:27:37I'm not okay.
00:27:37I, I, I, I'm not okay.
00:27:45Everything's wrong.
00:27:48What, what, what if I don't, what if I don't make it?
00:27:54I, I, I love you, Ruby.
00:27:56Uh, everything's gonna be okay.
00:28:00Alright?
00:28:02Shhh. Just breathe.
00:28:04Just breathe.
00:28:06You're going to be okay.
00:28:08Just breathe.
00:28:10Come on.
00:28:12Take a deep breath.
00:28:14Slowly. Alright?
00:28:20There you go.
00:28:26Alright.
00:28:30I'm sorry.
00:28:34I'm sorry.
00:28:36I'm so sorry.
00:28:38It's okay.
00:28:40Do you feel better now?
00:28:46I don't know.
00:28:50Have you ever had a panic attack before?
00:28:54What?
00:28:56Panic attack.
00:28:58You just had a panic attack.
00:29:12Okay.
00:29:14Do you want to talk about it?
00:29:16Okay.
00:29:18Okay.
00:29:20Do you want to go home?
00:29:22Do you want to go home?
00:29:24Do you want to go home?
00:29:26Well, keep going and have a Emran above her.
00:29:28Cheers.
00:29:30Oh my god.
00:29:32There you are.
00:29:34It's hard to leave.
00:29:36Amen.
00:29:38There you are.
00:29:40I know.
00:29:42Out here.
00:29:44To keep Slovenan Brown,
00:29:46and Doctor Vuckie you love her.
00:29:48My dad is taking me to NYC this weekend.
00:30:16And...
00:30:18Amazing!
00:30:22Say hi to the Big Apple for me.
00:30:28Yeah, I'm pissed though because Aunt Flo just showed up.
00:30:31Ugh!
00:30:46Mm-mm, too plain.
00:31:07Oh, too weird.
00:31:17What about this one?
00:31:21Well, it's definitely ugly.
00:31:23I think it's cute.
00:31:24Winner, winner.
00:31:25Sure!
00:31:28Thanks, Dad.
00:31:30Okay.
00:31:30Bye.
00:31:31I better get going.
00:31:33You'll pick me up tomorrow at eight?
00:31:34You count on me?
00:31:35All right.
00:31:36See you love birds later.
00:31:38Bye.
00:31:48You know, I can't believe I haven't taken you to the aquarium yet.
00:31:52My dad and I used to go, like, all the time.
00:31:54And, well...
00:31:55Why don't I book us some tickets and we can, like, make a day out of it?
00:32:00That's nice.
00:32:03I promise you'll never look at penguins the same again.
00:32:05Hey, Blake?
00:32:18Yeah?
00:32:20My stomach still hurts.
00:32:24Really?
00:32:24It's been, like, three days.
00:32:26I know.
00:32:27Well...
00:32:27There's...
00:32:31Something else I need to tell you.
00:32:33I'm, like, four days late, which isn't a big deal, but my cycle is usually on point.
00:32:45And my stomach hurts a lot.
00:32:50Oh.
00:32:50I really don't think, but it's possible, right?
00:33:07What do you want to do?
00:33:11I think I should take a test.
00:33:14So I know.
00:33:16So, you know.
00:33:18Yeah.
00:33:22Yeah, no, um...
00:33:23Yeah, no, um...
00:33:27Yeah, no, um...
00:33:31Yeah, no, uh...
00:33:42Yeah, no, um...
00:35:44It's negative.
00:35:50I read it wrong.
00:36:34That was quite the look.
00:36:35Yeah, that was pretty intense.
00:36:41Pretty intense.
00:36:42It's crazy how fast I fell in love with what ever was inside of me.
00:36:54My mind just moved so fast.
00:36:55I fell in love too.
00:37:07I fell in love too.
00:37:08I fell in love too.
00:37:14You're gonna be a great mom one day.
00:37:17Thanks.
00:37:18Not today.
00:37:19Yeah.
00:37:20Yeah.
00:37:21Not today.
00:37:25Yeah.
00:37:26Not today.
00:37:27Hey mom.
00:37:28Hey.
00:37:29Can you wash this sweater?
00:37:34Where'd you get this?
00:37:35Alice got it for me for my birthday.
00:37:36It's for the Christmas thing we're going to this weekend.
00:37:41I think it's wool.
00:37:42It looks familiar.
00:37:43Well, it is vintage.
00:37:44Yes, I can take care of it.
00:37:45Thanks mom.
00:37:47Thanks mom.
00:37:53.
00:38:06Thanks mom.
00:38:10Thanks mom.
00:38:16I'm sorry.
00:38:46Okay.
00:39:46Yeah, that's definitely cash.
00:40:16Yeah, that's what you say when it's out.
00:40:23You learn something new every day.
00:40:27I think I'm starting to feel it.
00:40:33My brain's growing wings.
00:40:36And it's ready to fly.
00:40:38Go, Alice.
00:40:39Go.
00:40:40Fly.
00:40:41Fly.
00:40:44Thanks, you guys.
00:40:47Yeah, no problem.
00:40:51Hey, you're a Ruby, right?
00:40:54Yeah.
00:40:55There's something about her sweater.
00:41:00Yeah.
00:41:02It's got a nice aura to it.
00:41:04It's got a nice aura.
00:41:09It's got a nice aura.
00:41:10Hmm.
00:41:11It's got a nice aura to it.
00:41:12It's got a nice aura to it.
00:41:14It's got a nice aura to it.
00:41:16It's got a nice aura to it.
00:41:16It's got a nice aura to it.
00:41:17It's got a nice aura to it.
00:41:18It's got a nice aura to it.
00:41:18It's got a nice aura to it.
00:41:19It's got a nice aura to it.
00:41:20It's got a nice aura to it.
00:41:20It's got a nice aura to it.
00:41:21It's got a nice aura to it.
00:41:22It's got a nice aura to it.
00:41:23It's got a nice aura to it.
00:41:54Where's Alice?
00:41:58Hey, Alice.
00:42:13Hey, girl.
00:42:18It's me.
00:42:20How are you doing?
00:42:24Here, add some water.
00:42:29I don't want any.
00:42:30That's not going to work with me.
00:42:32You will sink me in the morning.
00:42:38Why does this shit always happen to me?
00:42:41Because you're the life of the party.
00:42:44No, I'm just fucking dumb.
00:42:47Hey, this happens to everyone.
00:42:49I'm a fucking mess.
00:42:53But tonight, you're my mess.
00:42:56No, I'm embarrassed.
00:42:59I'm not.
00:43:00If anything, I feel like I'm pretty lucky.
00:43:04You're just saying sweet shit to make me feel better.
00:43:10Okay.
00:43:11Yes, it's working.
00:43:13Okay, keep drinking.
00:43:20Girl.
00:43:23I love you.
00:43:25I love you too, babe.
00:43:31She'll be okay here, right?
00:43:33For sure.
00:43:35She'll be fine.
00:43:36I'll make sure she stays on her side.
00:43:41Thanks for letting her crash here.
00:43:43Of course.
00:43:45You're a good friend.
00:43:47I just feel bad for what the poor girl's gonna have to endure tomorrow.
00:43:50I don't know.
00:43:57He's a prettyock for all you guys.
00:43:58Take care.
00:43:58Good night.
00:44:02Goodbye.
00:44:04I don't know.
00:44:05Bye.
00:44:06Bye.
00:44:07Bye.
00:44:09Bye.
00:44:09Bye.
00:44:12Bye.
00:44:14Bye.
00:44:15Bye.
00:44:15Bye.
00:44:16Bye.
00:44:17Bye.
00:44:17Bye.
00:44:20Bye.
00:44:20I love you, Ruby.
00:44:43Wow.
00:44:44They're wonderful, Ruby.
00:44:46She could be a gardener.
00:44:48I'm still learning.
00:44:51My rare boobie rose.
00:44:56You're so beautiful, Alice.
00:45:01Is it okay if I kiss you?
00:45:07Blake?
00:45:08Yeah.
00:45:10Of course.
00:45:10You want to go away, don't you?
00:45:32I don't know.
00:45:34Maybe.
00:45:35Well, check your wings carefully before you go.
00:45:41What if I crash?
00:45:42Space princess.
00:45:44You've always got us.
00:45:52That suits you.
00:45:53I knew it would.
00:46:02But she could lose everything.
00:46:05Just another reckless dreamer flying too close to the sun.
00:46:08What's happening?
00:46:09I thought you guys were excited for me.
00:46:12Couldn't keep up, huh?
00:46:14Stop it.
00:46:15It will never be enough.
00:46:17Why are you saying that?
00:46:21I should go.
00:46:28Ruby?
00:46:29Can I show you something?
00:46:31Yeah, sure.
00:46:33Girls, it's time to go.
00:46:35Leah, you look like you're ready.
00:46:36Ruby, where do you think you're going?
00:46:38You're a fucking mess.
00:46:44You've got a lot to learn.
00:46:46Girl.
00:46:48Are you sure you're ready for the real world?
00:46:51They will always be.
00:46:55What on earth are you doing with your life?
00:46:59They will always choose me.
00:47:02Way too fast.
00:47:04You're moving way too fast.
00:47:06Is this really the truth?
00:47:09What are you going to do without me?
00:47:13This nightmare is permanent.
00:47:28College will be perfect.
00:47:36Ruby, you have some mail.
00:48:01It's a big envelope.
00:48:05That's a good sign.
00:48:06Go ahead, Ruby.
00:48:07Open it.
00:48:16Hey, Ruby.
00:48:17What's up?
00:48:17Alice?
00:48:18What?

00:48:27Soon, I promise.

00:55:33Oh, my bad.
00:55:35I didn't mean to startle you.
00:55:36Is it the sweater?
00:55:41Yeah, you definitely didn't hold off on the party theme, that's for sure.
00:55:44I take pride in my affinity for dressing stupid on purpose.
00:55:49But hey, at least it would be hard to forget, right?
00:55:54Yeah, right.
00:55:56Oh, by the way, those cookies are definitely special cookies.
00:56:01Good to know.
00:56:02Hey, wait, do you go to school in Boston by any chance?
00:56:07I thought I might have seen you around.
00:56:09I have to go talk to someone, but have a good night.
00:56:16Hey, Blake.
00:56:18Hey, Ruby.
00:56:18How are you?
00:56:22I'm good.
00:56:23It's good to see you.
00:56:24I'm really happy to see you.
00:56:27Yeah, it's good to see you, too.
00:56:30How was it?
00:56:32How was what?
00:56:33Your Ivy League dream.
00:56:35Is it, like, really awesome?
00:56:37Oh, yeah, it's great.
00:56:39It's just surrounded by a bunch of smart people.
00:56:41That's great.
00:56:45Can I...
00:56:46Is it...
00:56:48Can I hug you?
00:56:50You know, Ruby, I don't think that's such a great idea.
00:56:54Oh.
00:56:56Okay, yeah, no problem.
00:56:58I understand.
00:57:00Hey, Ruby, um, listen.
00:57:02I wanted to tell...
00:57:03Oh, my God, I love those things.
00:57:05Finally, I will to park the car.
00:57:07It took me, like, three times.
00:57:09Ruby.
00:57:10Ruby.
00:57:10What's this?
00:57:16I really didn't expect to see you here, Ruby.
00:57:21I didn't even know you were home.
00:57:25Here.
00:57:28Both of you!
00:57:29Ruby, hold on, I...
00:57:30Ruby, wait.
00:57:40Hey, Ruby.
00:57:44Please talk to me.
00:57:47I have nothing to say to you, Alice.
00:57:51Okay.
00:57:51I can talk.
00:57:54I just need you to listen.
00:57:58Please.
00:58:01Don't try to make me have sympathy for you, Alice.
00:58:03That's not what I want.
00:58:07I tried to tell you.
00:58:09Tell me what?
00:58:10It's kind of hard to keep in touch with a ghost.
00:58:18I gave you space because I wanted to see you live out your dreams, but I was not expecting you to fall off the face of the planet.
00:58:23I had to do what was best for my future.
00:58:27You know that!
00:58:30I admire your bravery, Ruby.
00:58:33I really do.
00:58:33But it hurt when you left.
00:58:40So you're sleeping with my ex to get back at me?
00:58:43No.
00:58:48We're not just sleeping together.
00:58:52We really care about each other.
00:58:58We care about you, too.
00:58:59You never gave me the chance to talk to you.
00:59:10I wanted to talk to you.
00:59:14I just kept myself under this idea that I had to be alone to be able to make something of myself.
00:59:20That I had to focus to be something or do something that mattered.
00:59:29I just kept myself under this idea.
00:59:38But loving Blake.
00:59:44And you.
00:59:47Mattered.
00:59:53I knew I couldn't have it all.
00:59:57It scared the hell out of me.
00:59:59I wish you would have talked to me.
01:00:09I would have been there for you.
01:00:14I know.
01:00:16I'm sorry.
01:00:20I'm sorry to...
01:00:29I want you to be happy.
01:00:35I want both of you to be happy.
01:00:42I'm happy for you.
01:00:48I am.
01:00:52Can I hug you?
01:00:56Is that okay?
01:00:59No, I am.
01:01:59Hey, where'd you go?
01:02:04Jessica said she saw you go outside.
01:02:08You okay?
01:02:18Ruby.
01:02:21You've got to take better care of yourself.
01:02:24What if I don't know how?
01:02:27Ask for help.
01:02:30Yes.
01:02:33You know, you can leave pillars if you want to.
01:02:36I've thought about quitting the swim team at Fillington.
01:02:39But you love swimming.
01:02:42I love being a part of a team.
01:02:45I mean, honestly, there's so much more to life than sleepless nights and conditioning your body until it breaks.
01:02:52But you're indestructible.
01:02:56Ruby, life is hard for everyone.
01:03:01And I'm definitely changing my major to education.
01:03:10What about your engineering scholarship?
01:03:13I'll lose it.
01:03:15Maybe I'll be happier.
01:03:17You've always seemed so put together.
01:03:25I had no idea you were struggling.
01:03:30Well, maybe my next major should be acting.
01:03:33And you're welcome.
01:03:39By the way.
01:03:41What?
01:03:42With my track record, you could have joined the circus for all our parents cared.
01:03:47But you're a dreamer.
01:03:47And I really admire that about you.
01:03:54I don't think I want to leave pillars.
01:03:57I love what I'm learning there.
01:03:59I don't know why I'm not happy.
01:04:09It's all about balance.
01:04:13You know a mom has anxiety, right?
01:04:17Really?
01:04:18Yeah.
01:04:20You should probably talk to her a little bit more.
01:04:24I mean, now that we're all adults, they're not as scary.
01:04:29You can maybe do some of those grounding techniques that she does.
01:04:34I know that they're really helpful.
01:04:43Yeah.
01:04:44I've missed you.
01:04:47I've missed you, too.
01:04:50You know, we gotta look out for each other.
01:04:59Who are you and where did you come from?
01:05:03I'm your sister.
01:05:04And I came from college to help you.
01:05:08Thanks.
01:05:11Another piece of advice.
01:05:13You should probably get a plant for your dorm.
01:05:15It's a powerful source of energy.
01:05:20And it feels really good to take care of something.
01:05:23What if it dies?
01:05:24Just get another one.
01:05:26Why are you so hard on yourself?
01:05:27Oh.
01:05:28They're all right.
01:05:29Take care.
01:05:30And take care.
01:05:30And take care.
01:05:30And take care.
01:05:32And take care.
01:07:14I'm ready.
01:07:20I'm worried about Ruby.
01:07:36Pam.
01:07:38She feels distant.
01:07:40She's got a lot going on right now.
01:07:43She just needs some time to settle.
01:07:45She doesn't talk about her friends.
01:07:47She spends almost all of her time cooped up in her room studying.
01:07:51I don't want to see her throw away a life outside the school.
01:07:56Repeat my mistakes.
01:07:59Ambition shouldn't come at the cost of peace or happiness.
01:08:05You know what isolation can do to these kids in schools like Pillars.
01:08:12You raised our daughters to be able to be and do anything they wanted to do with their lives.
01:08:17That's an amazing feat.
01:08:19I just feel like I've made a big mistake and it's starting to scare me.
01:08:25What you're scared of is seeing Ruby get hurt chasing after her dreams the way that you did.
01:08:32Maybe I'm dreaming, but nothing took Pam away from Pam in the end, right?
01:08:39She's still here.
01:08:42Nothing will take Ruby away from Ruby.
01:08:46She'll find her way just like her mother did.
01:08:49In the meantime, we just need to provide her encouragement along the way.
01:09:07At Midnight by Sarah Teasdale
01:09:10Now at last, I have come to see what life is.
01:09:16Nothing has ever ended.
01:09:18Everything only begun
01:09:20And the brave victories that seem so splendid
01:09:24Are never really won.
01:09:27Even love that I built my spirit's house for
01:09:32Comes like a brooding and a baffled guest
01:09:35And music and men's praise
01:09:39And even laughter
01:09:41Are not so good as rest.
01:09:48I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love that I love
01:10:18Mind if I come in?
01:10:34Sure.
01:10:39May I?
01:10:41Of course.
01:10:42Sunlight is beautiful in this room.
01:10:50I was just thinking the same thing.
01:10:52I never really noticed it before.
01:10:56You are doing a great job, Ruby.
01:11:01Thanks, Mom.
01:11:02Hey, Dad.
01:11:20What's up, Ruby?
01:11:23Can we at least put up Mr. Snowy this year?
01:11:26Yeah.
01:11:29Now that sounds like a great idea.
01:11:32Come back.
01:11:40Come back.
01:11:42There's the face.
01:11:43There's a face.
01:11:45There's a face.
01:11:47Yes.
01:11:48Let's go, Mr. Snowy.
01:11:50Woo-hoo!
01:11:50Woo-hoo!
01:11:51What?
01:11:53What?
01:11:55What?
01:11:57What?
01:11:59What?
01:12:01Wait, wait, wait.
01:12:03Wait, wait, wait.
01:12:05You're okay.
01:12:07You're okay.
01:12:09You're okay.
01:12:11You're okay.
01:12:13Wow.
01:12:15Wow.
01:12:17You guys are intense.
01:12:19Not all stars become supernovas
01:12:23when they die.
01:12:25Smaller ones elegantly expand
01:12:27into gas without
01:12:29the possibility of turning into a black hole.
01:12:37Okay, that's it for today.
01:12:39I have your planetary test grades here.
01:12:49I'm sorry.
01:12:51I'm sorry.
01:12:53You're right.
01:12:55I'm sorry.
01:12:57It's okay.
01:12:59It's okay.
01:13:01I'm sorry.
01:13:03I'm sorry.
01:13:05It's okay.
01:13:07It's okay.
01:13:09Can I help you find something?
01:13:24No, I'm just looking.
01:13:27I'm Enzo.
01:13:28Ruby.
01:13:29Nice to see you again, Ruby.
01:13:32This is a nice place to come to when you need a smack of color in the winter.
01:13:35For sure.
01:13:37So, do you go to school around here or something?
01:13:39Yeah, I go to Pillars.
01:13:40Wow, very nice. I'm at Royce. What's your major?
01:13:44Astrophysics.
01:13:44No way! I love space.
01:13:46Really?
01:13:47Yeah, I mean, I'm probably not as smart as you, but I do keep up with stuff.
01:13:51I'm so excited the Curiosity mission was extended.
01:13:53Can't wait to see what else we found out about Mars.
01:13:55Yeah, it's pretty exciting.
01:13:56Yeah.
01:13:57So, what's your major?
01:13:59I'm in film. Like, old school film with projectors and stuff.
01:14:03Interesting.
01:14:04Yeah, I'd love to show you some of my work, but I don't really digitize it,
01:14:07so you'd have to come on campus to watch.
01:14:09Yeah, that could be fun.
01:14:11Yeah.
01:14:12So, why don't you digitize it?
01:14:15Uh, I like the idea of having my work within a tangible object.
01:14:19It gives it more meaning, I suppose, and makes every screening special,
01:14:23because it's so temporary.
01:14:24So, are you wanting to take a plant home with you?
01:14:30Yeah, that was the plan.
01:14:32All right, follow me.
01:14:34If you look up, we've got some plants you can hang.
01:14:37And over here, we've got a lot of color.
01:14:38These, specifically, are violet, African violets, actually.
01:14:43Okay, nice.
01:14:45I like that.
01:14:45And over here, these are some mums.
01:14:49Mom?
01:14:49Yeah.
01:14:49I miss my mom.
01:14:51Aw.
01:14:52Perfect.
01:14:53And, um, these are some low-light options over here, as well.
01:14:56Okay.
01:14:57Yeah, follow me.
01:14:58I've got some more options.
01:14:59Cool.
01:14:59More color, more sun.
01:15:30I know
01:15:55Things have been hard
01:16:01And these days
01:16:07You forget who you are
