Greek

This is a form for declaring a major.

I saw the form. Why did you lie to me?

Why didn't you tell me you're nowhere close to picking a major?

OK, I'm sorry. I screwed up.

But the truth is, I'm not ready to graduate.

Um... hi.

Will you accept my a-pollen-gy?

"A-pollen-gy?"

Well, ahem, it was either that or, uh...

"please flor-give me."

I bought the flowers. I didn't steal them from someone else's lawn.

So what do you say?

Come on, Case, we've barely spoken since Mardi Gras

and now I'm apologizing.

Thank you for the flowers.

And how about the a-pollen-gy?

Do you really mean it? - Sure. I'm sorry for our fight.

The fight? That's it?

And anything else I may have done recently, hence the flowers.

Can we just make up and pretend like this never happened?

When I thought I might have had a chance in Washington

you told me you wanted to declare a major, which implied

that you wanted to move forward with us after graduation.

But now that you don't,

I'm a little freaked out about us.

Um...

I have to get to class.

Cool! Yeah, no, I'll just...

...bring the flowers by later, then.

Your hair, it looks...

Like Madonna's Lucky Star video, 1983?

Exactly!

I'm just trying out some looks for '80s Night at Dobler's.

Are you going?

'Cause you should really come

and dress as Anthony Michael Hall in Sixteen Candles.

Or in The Breakfast Club. Or Weird Science.

I might, but I wouldn't know who to take.

You see, I'm kind of in this complicated dating situation.

You see, there's Katherine and there's Dana.

I'm sort of dating Katherine,

but Dana told me she likes me, too.

But if I'm gonna get into another relationship,

I want to make sure that I have the right match.

OK, so how serious is it with Katherine?

She asked me to take her virginity,

but I turned her down.

Rusty. - What? I left her a bunch of messages,

but I haven't heard from her yet.

Uh, you're never gonna hear from her

'cause she is never going to talk to you again.

You ran out on her when she tried to lose her virginity to you?

It wasn't because of her. The circumstances were completely wrong.

Rusty, she's gonna think you thought she was fat.

- She's so not fat. - It doesn't matter. She's a girl.

She's mortified, and you blew it. Case closed.

Can anyone tell me what movie that was from?

- A-heezy? - Can't Buy Me Love, 1987.

Yes! Today we're looking at marketing in the 1980s

and how companies started using movies to sell to teens.

Teens were finally recognized for their legitimate buying power.

They also flocked to movies that could be made on the cheap,

and all it took to market them was one great pop song on the soundtrack.

Can anyone name one of these songs?

Anyone? Anyone?

Anyone?

Bueller? Get it?

OK. Ferris Bueller...

Hey, so you're absolutely positive

that I blew it with Katherine?

Yeah. But doesn't that solve your problem?

You are free to date Dana.

She is perfect for you anyway.

Yeah, she's pretty great.

So what if she thinks that I slept with Katherine,

and I haven't talked to her since she told me she liked me?

- I'm gonna go for Dana. - Oh, Rusty.

She thinks I think she's fat, too.

Yeah, probably.

Hello.

Are you OK?

Yeah.

So I haven't seen you in a few days. How are you doing?

You don't have to give me that pitying look,

like I'm some kindergartener who came to school

with a maxi pad around her knee because she thought it was a bandage.

And if that did happen, it would be a totally honest mistake...

- Your finger's stuck? - No.

Let me help.

Nothing happened with Katherine after the Mardi Gras party.

- Really? - No.

Even though she's blonde and leggy

with high cheekbones and a sure thing?

Yeah. That's right.

Uh, what I'm trying to say now is...

Dana, will you go out with me Saturday night?

I'll have to think about it.

I'm just kidding.

- Of course I will. - Great.

I'm sorry, Case.

I just don't get why someone as smart and amazing as Cappie

would want to stay in college forever.

I understand wanting to party and screw around for a while.

I've done plenty of that myself.

But I can't hehelp but wonder if maybe you weren't right, Ash.

What if we are too different?

And what if we're... not going to last forever?

No matter how much we try or how much we love each other.

I don't want to be right about that,

so you need to address this with Cappie,

head-on. - OK, well, how do I address someone

who says he might never want to leave college?

He can't possibly mean that. That'd just be crazy, right?

Would it? I mean, it's Cappie we're talking about here,

and he definitely has his own way of doing things.

And, didn't you kind of already know that when you got back together?

So why are you trying to change him now?

You're right. I know.

I love Cappie, and I don't want to change him.

But if we're on completely different paths

and he stays here forever we're never going to work,

which scares the crap out of me.

Then you need to make him understand that.

Cheap beer and The Political Economy.

Wow, Evan, this is sad.

I am behind in my reading, and I can't afford good beer.

I guess the economy and I are both a bit depressed.

- About Rebecca? - Mmm.

How could I have been so stupid?

You know, buying her that necklace with money I didn't have?

I put my position in the house at risk,

not to mention my friendship with you.

And she slept with someone else.

You have any idea who it was with? - No. I don't really care.

OK, I care a little.

God, why, when beer is called "something's best", is it always the worst?

Good question. Hey, Grant went to Michigan to see Kylie Minogue,

so I'm flying solo this weekend.

How about we go to this, uh, '80s party?

Everybody Wang Chung like a virgin! -

Maybe if my jokes were better she wouldn't have cheated.

Look, don't beat yourself up about it, all right?

Everybody knows Rebecca Logan's got issues.

For what it's worth, I got the impression

that she really did like you.

That's worth about as much as a bottle of...

...Sandusky's Best.

Rusty!

Hey, Katherine. I don't think you're fat.

Nor do I.

Oh, well, good. But you're mad at me, though, right?

Well, I see my failure to return all seven of your voice messages

has not gone unnoticed. Rusty, I'm not angry.

- You're not? - Initially, I was.

It was very embarrassing.

But I realized that you were completely right to withdraw when you did.

The timing was completely off,

and for you to have the restraint to realize that

in such a passionate moment really was the height of chivalry.

I'm completely mortified by my actions,

and I'm hoping that we can move past this.

Of course we can.

So I guess we got through our first big fight. -

You know what they say about relationships: they all have speed bumps.

Relationships? - Furthermore, I think we should take it slow.

- You know, no sex yet. - No.

So do you have plans tomorrow night?

- No. - Great.

We can go to the Dobler's '80s party together.

That's nice. I never have any dates for these Greek events.

Um, but I'm late for my hierarchy and hegemony seminar,

so we'll talk details later.

I promise I'll call you back.

I know how much you don't want to talk about this, but we have to:

graduation, our future, all of it.

We have to figure it out. I mean, I am graduating in May.

And I might be leaving CRU.

But you might get into CRU Law,

- and then we don't have to worry about it. - But what if I don't?

- But what if you do? - Cappie.

OK, look, if you go somewhere else,

then we'll just do long-distance.

But for how long? For 20 years, until you graduate?

- How will that work? - Graduation isn't even until May.

Why can't we just deal with it then?

Because I'm not as good at living in the now as you.

I just... I can't feel comfortable in our relationship not knowing where we're going.

- You might be going to CRU Law. - But what if I don't?

- But what if you do? - Oh, my God, Cappie!

You... You have to accept you can't be in college forever...

Surprise!

April? Tobias? What the hell are you guys doing here?

Whoa! Too early for a philosophy quiz.

It's great to see you!

This must be Casey. She's gorgeous!

- Hi. - Amazing eyes.

Who are you?

- Oh! - Oh! Uh, Casey, um...

These are my parents.

Wow! - So this is where the magic happens, huh?
