- Magazine? Good afternoon, everyone.

This is your captain speaking. Sorry for the delay.

It should be just a few more minutes. Thanks for your patience.

- Can I help you? - I don't know. Can you?

May I help you?

Yes. I would like to know why we're behind schedule.

It'll be just a few more minutes. Can I get you something to drink?

I don't know. Can you?

Right this way.

- Thanks. - You're welcome.

Hi. I'm Jennifer.

Wait until the last minute to pack?

Nope. Got my first period.

- Oh. - Good afternoon, everyone. This is your captain again.

We're making our way out to the runway and should be taking o ff shortly.

- Enjoy the flight. - Does it gross you out to know that I'm bleeding right now?

Why should it? It's just biology.

We could have sex right now, and I wouldn't even get pregnant.

Do you have orgasms?

I don't think that's any of your business.

Yeah, well, you're still young. What are you, ten?

Twelve.

So, do you live in L.A. or New York?

- L.A. - Me too. My dad ran off with his secretary,

so my mom and I moved to California.

Your parents still together?

- No. Yes! - What's that mean?

They're divorced, but they're getting back together.

- That's great. - I have the whole thing planned out.

You're getting them back together?

I've already talked to my father about it.

I'm gonna explain to my mother how the divorce is ruining my life.

- Maybe they're not in love. - You have to work at love if you want it to last forever.

- Who says love should last forever? - They're married.

- They're divorced. - They shared vows. They made commitments.

They have responsibilities. Someone needs to remind them of that.

My mother says, "If love's broken, you have to throw it out with the rest of the trash."

That's exactly what's wrong with grown-ups. They're lazy.

- You're an idiot. - Well, you're an idiot.

You're ugly.

Try breathing.

Take a deep breath. It'll help you relax.

- I'm hot, not relaxed. - Oh.

This is just how I am.

One... two...

three... four... five...

six... seven...

six... seven...

eight... nine.

Twenty-two. Hut, hut, hut.

Halftime!

And that's halftime,

with the Knights leading the Gophers 14-7.

It should come as no surprise that this year's homecoming king...

is tonight's star quarterback, Cameron Fitzgerald.

What good is a king without a queen

So, let's give a royal Harding High cheer...

to this year's homecoming queen, Jennifer Burrows.

Bow down to my queen and king.

Jennifer Burrows?

Gopher, do you mock my queen?

- Huh? - I thinketh that you do.

And for that, you shall die!

Whoo!

Run it over. Run the head over.

No! No, don't!

Aha! Yes!

- Are you all right? - My head.

You're going to be okay.

No, my head. Where is it?

Hey.

How's your head?

Oh, it... it's not so good.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

You don't remember me, do you?

No. Should I?

No.

We were on a plane together once.

Oh, my God!

Ryan

- You're "Counting Ryan"? - Yeah.

Of course I remember you. Once a month I remember you.

I must have told that "period on the plane" story like a million times.

Not me.

You wanna go grab a coffee or something?

What about your boyfriend, the king?

Don't have a boyfriend. Hate commitments.

I figure, why limit yourself when there's a world of possibilities out there?

Well, maybe all those possibilities distract you from what you really want.

I mean, that's why I don't watch cable.

- What? - There's too many choices.

Lucky your school has a uniform.

You know, you might just wake up and have to pick out an out f it.

And then with all those choices, you might end up walking out of your house naked.

- That's dumb. - Yeah, well, you're pretty dumb.

Don't call me dumb.

Why not? It's true. You are. You're dumb.

Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb.

No...

you're dumb!

- Hey, so you wanna go? - No.

- Why not? - Because this... us...

- We don't click. - Since when?

Since now. Since right now. Does this feel like we're clicking?

I was only talking about going and getting a cup of coffee.

You know, maybe decaf for you.

It just doesn't make sense to me.

Fine.

- Fine. Fine. - Fine.

You know what I do what I do

Riding my wave once again

It's always the same It never ends

Riding my wave once again

It's always the same It never ends

What-What time is it?

Time for me to leave for the airport.

That's impossible. I set my alarm exactly one minute before you had to leave.

I set mine three minutes before, just to be sure.

- I love you. - I love you.

- Gopher boy? - What's wrong?

- Uh, nothing. - It is you.

I don't believe it. Are you going to school here?

Uh, yes.

Oh, uh, this is Betty. Betty, this is...

Jennifer. Hi. How you doing?

Gopher boy and I go way back.

Please stop calling me that.

Okay.

Well, um, I guess I should get going.

- It was good seeing you again. - Yeah.

Bye.

- Gopher boy? - It's a long story.

Help! Is somebody there?

Hey, a little help here, please.

Somebody, hello? Open up!

Excuse me!

- Hello. Whoo! - Whoa!

Wow.

- Are you all right? - Oh, I'm fine.

I am... I'm fine. You're Ryan, right?

- Yeah. Hey. - Hey!

I'm Hunter. Your roomie, Hunter.

What were you doing in the trunk?

Right. Uh, well, um, well, I got to the room...

first, here, before you, and, uh, I thought that it would be, you know, funny...

if, uh, if I popped out of the trunk and surprised you.

Surprise! And, uh, the rest is history.

Wow, we haven't even known each other for 20 seconds and already we have a story.

This is gonna be great.

- So, uh, so how are you gonna tell it? - Uh...

- Tell what? - Our story. Oh, oh, I know.

I know. You'll probably say I was gasping for air and you saved my life.

- Well, I... - Actually, that's a great way to tell it.

Chicks love drama. You're good, man.

Thanks.

Wow, really good. I'm gonna have a hard time keeping up with you.

Ha. Come here.

Oh, man!

Four years.

Huh.

Yeah, I know a girl

Can't remember her name but I know what she wants

She wants to be everything

So, is she your high-school sweetheart?

As a matter of fact, she is.

Good for you. Where is she going to school?

Seattle.

Oh, a long distance.

- So? - Good luck.

We don't need luck. We have a very strong relationship.

We weren't together over the summer, and everything was fine.

Mm. What was she gone, a month?

Six weeks, two days.

You visited back and forth...

maybe three times, called each other every night?

That's right. You have to put in the work.

I've seen it happen a hundred times.

Last year, every long-distance relationship in my dorm...

was over by the second semester.

- Wow. - Just keeping it real.

Next in line, please.

So, where are you living?

- Herman Hall. - Oh, I can give you some tips.

- Do you live there? - No, no, but I do have friends there.

I live off-campus with my boyfriend.
