>> PREVIOUSLY, ON AWKWARD...
>> I GOT THE HEISMAN FROM JENNA.
DO YOU KNOW WHO SHE'S GOING
WITH?
>> WHY HAVEN'T YOU TOLD HIM?
>> I TRIED TO, BUT HE--
>> TAKE CARE.
I'M NOT GOING TO FORMAL.
I DON'T HAVE A DATE, AND MY
NOMINATION WAS A JOKE.
>> AS FAR AS WINTER FORMAL'S
CONCERNED, YOU WON'T BE GOING.
>> WE SHOULD GO TO THE DANCE
TOGETHER.
>> I'M IN.
>> SOMEONE ONCE SAID
THAT IT'S CHOICE, NOT CHANCE,
THAT DETERMINES OUR DESTINY.
MY HEAD MADE THE CHOICE
TO END THINGS WITH MATTY.
BUT MY HEART?
MY HEART WAS STILL WAITING
FOR THE CHANCE THAT MY HEAD
MIGHT...
[knocking]
RECONSIDER.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
>> I NEED YOU TO KNOW SOMETHING.
>> OKAY, I'M LISTENING.
>> I LOVE YOU.
>> I REALLY LOVE YOU.
>> WHAT?
>> OH, IT'S OKAY.
WE CAN SHARE.
>> YOU DON'T HAVE TO CHOOSE.
>> BECAUSE WE CAN ALL SHARE.
>> THIS ISN'T REAL.
THIS ISN'T REAL.
>> THE AD DOES SEEM FAKE
AND CREEPY.
"WE CAN ALL SHARE."
WHO WANTS THAT?
>> WHAT ARE YOU READING?
>> THE MISSED CONNECTIONS
IN OUR AREA.
I'M SEEING IF ANYONE WAS
TOO SHY TO ASK ME TO THE FORMAL.
BUT THIS SITE IS CLEARLY
ONLY FOR PERVS.
GOD, CAN YOU IMAGINE BUMPING
UGLIES WHILE OTHER PEOPLE WATCH?
>> I CAN, AND IT'S DISTURBING.
>> ARE YOU EXCITED FOR TONIGHT?
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE GOING
TO YOUR FIRST FORMAL
WITHOUT ME.
>> I KNOW.
IT'S NOT GONNA BE THE SAME.
>> WAIT. LISTEN TO THIS.
I'VE BLOWN IT OVER AND OVER
AGAIN, BUT IF YOU GIVE ME
ONE LAST CHANCE, I'LL SWEEP YOU
OFF YOUR FEET
ON THE DANCE FLOOR
AND FINALLY BE YOUR GUY.
[gasps] DOESN'T THAT SOUND
LIKE RICKY?
>> OR MATTY.
>> DON'T DO THIS TO YOURSELF.
IF MATTY HAD ANY GONADS,
HE'D FIGHT FOR YOU.
BUT HE DOESN'T, AND HE DIDN'T.
>> DO YOU THINK DESTINY IS
DETERMINED BY CHANCE OR CHOICE?
>> CHANCE. 100%.
IF DESTINY WAS BY CHOICE,
I WOULD HAVE DEVELOPED AN ASS
INSTEAD OF A MUSTACHE.
>> BUT I WAS THE ONE WHO ENDED
THINGS WITH MATTY.
MAYBE I MISDIRECTED FATE
AND MISSED MY CONNECTION
TO BE WITH HIM.
>> OKAY, YOU'RE GETTING REALLY
DEEP, AND IT'S FAR TOO EARLY
FOR ME TO PROCESS ANYTHING
MORE THAN YOUR MORNING BREATH.
[sniffs]
WHICH, BY THE WAY, IS RANK.
>> DID I SCREW UP MY DESTINY,
OR WAS MY FATE SUPPOSED
TO STINK?
[keyboard clacking]
I'M THINKING I WANT TO WEAR
MY HAIR...
UP.
>> DOWN.
HONEY, YOU HAIR IS THE BEST
WEAPON IN THE FIGHT AGAINST
YOUR HERITAGE.
PRINCESSES DON'T HAVE BIG EARS.
JENNA'S BEEN NOMINATED FOR
SOPHOMORE WINTER PRINCESS.
>> I'D LIKE IT UP.
>> WITH ALL THAT HAIR ON TOP,
YOU'RE JUST GONNA LOOK LIKE
A BOBBLEHEAD.
>> GOOD.
>> BAD NEWS.
I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE
WITH MING.
SHE'S GOING TONIGHT.
>> WHO IS SHE GOING WITH?
>> SHE SAID IT'S A SURPRISE.
THIS SUCKS.
NOW I'M GONNA BE LONE LOSER'ING.
>> WHY DON'T YOU COME WITH
ME AND JAKE?
>> I'M NOT A DATE-CRASHER.
>> WE'RE GOING AS FRIENDS.
>> I'D DEFINITELY ADD SOME SAUCE
TO THE MIX.
[phone ringing]
>> HAMILTON.
>> HEY.
>> I ALREADY KNOW.
WE CAN'T WEAR THE SAME COLOR
DRESS.
>> GOOD CALL.
CAN TAMARA COME WITH US?
SHE DOESN'T HAVE A DATE, AND...
>> UH, SURE.
I'LL SEE YOU AT 6:00.
>> IS THERE ANYONE HERE
WHO CAN DO SOMETHING
IN THE VEIN OF GRECIAN GODDESS
MEETS GAGA?
LET ME DRAW IT UP FOR YOU.
>> WITH T BY MY SIDE,
A GOOD TIME AT THE DANCE
WAS ALL BUT IN THE CARDS.
>> BOO-YA.
>> POKER IS NOT MY GAME.
>> POKE 'ER?
BUT I DON'T EVEN KNOW HER.
[laughter]
>> YOU GUYS ARE LIKE
A BRAIN TRUST.
>> DUDE, CALL HER ALREADY.
>> both: OOH-OOH-OOH.
>> DOES MCLIGHT HAVE
A GIRLFRIEND?
>> HE DID.
>> OH, [bleep].
YOU GET YOUR ASS HANDED TO YOU
OR WHAT?
>> WASN'T REALLY MY FAULT.
>> IT'S NEVER OUR FAULT,
BUT YOU STILL GOT TO OWN UP
TO WHATEVER YOU THINK THAT SHE
THINKS THAT YOU DID.
>> YEAH, I THINK SHE WANTS ME
TO LEAVE HER ALONE.
>> [scoffs]
>> DUDE, ARE YOU A WUSS?
I SERIOUSLY WANT TO PUNCH YOU
RIGHT NOW.
>> SHE TOLD ME TO TAKE CARE.
>> all: OOH.
>> WHEN SHE SAID IT,
WAS SHE LOOKING DIRECTLY
AT YOU, OR WAS SHE, LIKE,
LOOKING AT THE GROUND,
TWIRLING HER HAIR?
>> THE HAIR TWIRL?
OH, SIGNATURE TELL.
>> IT WAS PRETTY DIRECT.
[all groan]
>> GIVE HER SOMETHING
SHE WANTS.
>> SHE WANTS TO GO
TO THE FORMAL.
>> TAKE HER.
>> I CAN'T.
THE FORMAL'S TONIGHT.
>> SO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
YOU'RE A MCKIBBEN.
MCKIBBENS ARE WINNERS.
>> YOU'RE RIGHT; WE ARE WINNERS.
FLUSH BEATS YOUR STRAIGHT.
[all scream]
>> [screaming]
>> WHAT HAPPENED?
>> ME!
I CAN'T GO ANYWHERE LIKE THIS.
>> DON'T PANIC.
[groans]
WE CAN FIX YOUR HEAD.
>> YEAH, BUT YOU CAN'T FIX
MY DRESS.
YOU WERE RIGHT; IT'S AWFUL.
HAPPY?
>> A LITTLE.
BUT DON'T FRET.
COME ON.
>> THERE'S NOTHING IN YOUR
CLOSET I'M GONNA WANT TO WEAR.
>> WHAT ABOUT THIS?
>> YOU'D LET ME WEAR NANA'S
DRESS?
>> SPECIAL TIMES CALL
FOR SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES.
TRY IT ON.
YOU KNOW, THAT DRESS WAS
SPECIALLY MADE FOR NANA
WHEN SHE WAS A MODEL.
[sighs]
I USED TO THINK, IF I COULD LOOK
AS GOOD AS HER IN IT THAT SHE
WOULD LOVE ME AS MUCH AS SHE
LOVED THAT DRESS.
ISN'T THAT SILLY?
>> YES.
>> THE ONLY TIME SHE EVER
LET ME WEAR IT WAS TO MY PROM.
OH, YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN ME
TRYING TO FIT MY BIG-ASS
PREGNANT BELLY INTO THAT
TINY--
>> DO I LOOK STUPID?
>> YOU LOOK...
PERFECT.
[giggles]
I WANT YOU TO KNOW
THAT I WOULD NEVER LOVE
A DRESS MORE THAN YOU,
UNLESS IT'S VINTAGE CHANEL.
>> UNDERSTANDABLE.
>> JENNA, YOU ARE THE BEST PART
OF ME...
BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT ME.
YOU'RE BETTER.
OH.
I'M SO SORRY.
>> MOM.
CAN'T BREATHE.
GOT TO LET GO.
>> OKAY. OKAY, I'M SORRY.
I WAS JUST HAVING A MOMENT.
I AM ENTITLED ONE ON OCCASION,
CONSIDERING YOU RUINED MY
FIGURE.
>> MOM?
DO YOU THINK YOU WERE MEANT
TO BE WITH DAD?
I MEAN, IF I WASN'T HERE,
WOULD YOU HAVE CHOSEN HIM?
>> HMM.
THERE WAS NEVER A CHOICE.
[doorbell rings]
>> JEN!
THE GIRLS ARE HERE!
>> IF I WASN'T GOING TO LET FATE
INFLUENCE MY DECISIONS,
I WOULDN'T LET SOME VILE
LETTER DO IT EITHER.
IT WAS TIME TO PUT MY PAST
WHERE IT BELONGED...
IN THE PAST.
>> MING'S GOING WITH VERA.
>> SURPRISE.
>> HI.
CAN WE SIDEBAR?
IS THERE SOMETHING YOU WANT
TO TELL ME, BECAUSE I'M PRETTY
SURE VERA IS OF THE ELLEN
VARIETY.
>> GOING WITH A GIRL FRIEND
WAS THE ONLY WAY MY PARENTS
WOULD LET ME GO.
SO IF I HAVE TO LET HER
FEEL ME UP AT THE END
OF THE NIGHT, I'M DOWN
FOR THE CAUSE.
>> GIRLS, GET TOGETHER.
>> LOOK AT YOU.
>> OKAY, NOW, CHINS OUT
AND DOWN.
>> DAD, I THINK YOUR ALLERGIES
ARE ACTING UP AGAIN.
>> NO.
I'M CRYING.
>> DAMN YOU, 'CAUSE NOW
I'M CRYING.
>> CAN YOU BELIEVE WE DID THIS?
>> [laughs]
>> WE RAISED A BEAUTIFUL GIRL.
>> YOU'RE EMBARRASSING JENNA.
>> YOU'RE BOTH EMBARRASSING
JENNA.
[doorbell rings]
>> IT'S YOUR DATE.
[squeals]
>> [laughs] THANKS.
CAN I PLEASE SPEAK TO JENNA?
>> YOU JUST MISSED HER.
SHE'S ON HER WAY TO THE FORMAL
WITH HER FRIENDS.
>> ALL RIGHT, YOU'RE GOOD.
BUT YOU MIGHT WAN TO RETHINK
THE LAMBSKIN RUBBER IN YOUR BAG.
THEY DON'T REALLY WORK.
>> SADIE.
I KNEW IT.
THAT LITTLE--
YOU ARE FORBODEN
FROM THIS DANCE,
FORBODEN FOR...
LOOKING SO FABULOUS.
>> KITTEN, YOU NEED TO RELAX.
>> I KNOW.
IT'S JUST, SADIE ALWAYS
UNDERCUTS MY AUTHORITY,
AND I JUST KNOW SHE'S GONNA
CRASH.
"KITTEN"?
>> TOO SOON?
>> NOT AT ALL, MY VELVET
VINDALOO.
>> OOH.
[laughs]
RRRR.
GO. GO IN.
>> UH, MR. MISHRA.

BUT WATCH THE BUMP-AND-GRIND.

I WORE THIS TO MY GRANDMOTHER'S
FUNERAL.
>> I KNOW.
>> DORK ALERT.
WE ARE HERE WAY TOO EARLY.
>> MS. HAMILTON, ALLOW ME
TO EDUCATE YOU.
IT'S ALL ABOUT ARRIVING EARLY.
THAT WAY, WE GET OUR PICTURES
TAKEN BEFORE WE RUIN OUR HAIR
OUT ON THE DANCE FLOOR.
>> YOU'RE GONNA DANCE.
>> LADIES, PREPARE YOURSELVES.
* I LIKE TO RIP IT UP
* AND IT AIN'T PRETTY
>> UNLIKE MATTY, JAKE WASN'T
AFRAID TO BE A DORK.
AND I WAS READY TO DORK OUT
WITH HIM.
[upbeat pop music]

GET ONE, JUST THE TWO OF US?
>> all: OOH.
>> OW! OW!
>> YEAH, JENNA.

>> WIGGLY.
[door opens]
>> YEAH.
>> DUCK.
>> HE'S SO SWEET.
I'M GLAD HE INVITED ME.
>> YEAH, IT'S BEEN FUN.
LIP GLOSS?
>> I NOTICED YOU WERE WITH JAKE.
>> WE'RE JUST FRIENDS.
>> I DON'T CARE.
WE'RE NOT TOGETHER ANYMORE.
JENNA?
YOU LOOK REALLY PRETTY.
>> THANKS.
SO DO YOU.
>> WHAT WAS THAT?
"YOU LOOK REALLY PRETTY."
HELP ME IN SO I CAN SLAP YOU.

YOUR FAULT JAKE DUMPED ME.
BREAK IN YOURSELF.

AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS

BUT I DIDN'T CARE.
IT WAS TIME FOR ME TO BUST
A MOVE.

IF YOU GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE,
I'LL SWEEP YOU OFF YOUR FEET.
>> ON THE DANCE FLOOR...
>> both: AND FINALLY BE
YOUR GUY.
>> IT'S YOU.
>> NO, IT'S YOU.
IT'S ALWAYS BEEN YOU.
I WAS JUST TOO BLIND TO SEE IT.
>> * DON'T LET IT GO TO WASTE
>> WHERE'D TAMARA GO?
>> RICKY'S THE MISSED
CONNECTION.
>> HE'S HER WHAT?
>> IT'S A LONG STORY.
>> LOOK, I ONLY HAVE 60 BUCKS,
BUT I CAN PROMISE YOU THAT
HELPING ME GET IN IS LIKE
THE GIFT THAT WILL KEEP ON

LIGHTEN UP.
IT WAS A JOKE.
I CAN DOUBLE YOUR MONEY
ON MONDAY.
>> YOU HAVING A GOOD TIME?
>> YEAH.
YOU?
>> I ALWAYS HAVE A GOOD TIME
WITH YOU.
>> IT WAS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS
THINKING.
EVERYTHING WITH JAKE WAS EASY.
>> EVERYTHING WITH YOU IS...
EASY.
>> DO YOU THINK THINGS
HAPPEN TO US BY CHANCE
OR BY CHOICE?
>> IN WHAT WAY?
>> FATE.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN FATE?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
BUT CONSIDERING YOU'RE HERE
WITH ME RIGHT NOW
MEANS THE UNIVERSE IS WORKING
IN MY FAVOR.
>> MAYBE THE UNIVERSE
WAS WORKING IN MY FAVOR TOO.
*
>> * OH
* EVERYBODY'S STARRY-EYED
* AND EVERYBODY KNOWS
* OH
* EVERYBODY'S STARRY-EYED
>> EVERYTHING WAS AS IT WAS
MEANT TO BE, 'CAUSE FINALLY
THE OTHER GUY I HAD BEEN

YOU MADE IT.
WHO'D YOU COME WITH?
>> NOBODY.
THERE WAS A GIRL,
BUT I MESSED IT UP.
>> OH. WHAT HAPPENED?
>> YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW.
>> I DO.
>> AH, WELL, I WAS GONNA TAKE
THIS GIRL, THIS GREAT GIRL.
AND THEN THINGS GOT COMPLICATED,
AND I WAS TRYING NOT TO HURT
SOMEONE ELSE, BUT I ENDED UP
HURTING HER.
I DIDN'T THINK SHE WAS GONNA
COME, SO I WENT TO HER HOUSE.
>> YOU WENT TO HER HOUSE.
>> YEAH, HER DAD SAID SHE WAS
HERE.
>> WELL, WHERE IS SHE?
>> SHE'S WITH ANOTHER GUY.
>> DUDE, THAT SUCKS.
YOU SHOULD STEAL HER AWAY.
>> NAH, I THINK IT'S TOO LATE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
IS IT TOO LATE?
>> I WAS CONFUSED.
I DIDN'T KNOW IF I SHOULD
LISTEN TO MY HEAD
OR MY HEART.
SO I WENT WITH MY HAND.
I'M SO SORRY.
I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.
IT'S TOO LATE.

[sighs]
WHAT?
>> YOU REALLY LIKE TO DANCE.
>> YEAH.
>> WE'RE GONNA HIT UP
JOSH HARRISON'S AFTER PARTY.
YOU GUYS WANT TO COME?
>> HARRISON'S PARENTS HAVE
A WATER BED.
>> RICKY!
>> IT'S UP TO YOU.
>> I THINK WE'RE GONNA PASS.
>> LET'S GET OUR STUFF.
>> OKAY.
THERE'S SOMETHING STUCK
TO YOUR BACK.
>> IS THAT, LIKE, DIRTY CODE?
>> LIKE WHAT?
>> LIKE...
>> LIKE THERE'S A NOTE
STUCK TO YOUR BACK.
>> OH, MY PARENTS ARE OVER
AT MY NEIGHBORS', WHICH MEANS
THEY'RE GETTING HAMMERED
AND THEY AREN'T COMING HOME
ANYTIME SOON.
>> HMM.
>> DO YOU WANT TO COME IN?
>> YES.
>> ACTUALLY, IS IT OKAY
IF YOU DON'T COME IN?
>> SURE.
>> I MEAN, IT'S NOT THAT
I DON'T WANT YOU TO.
I DO.
BUT I WANT TO TAKE THINGS
SLOWLY.
>> LOOK, THERE'S NO RUSH.
I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
WHAT IS IT?
>> TONIGHT IS THE FIRST NIGHT
ANYONE HAS EVER HELD MY HAND
IN PUBLIC,
BESIDES MY PARENTS.
>> DOES THAT FREAK YOU OUT?
>> NO.
IT JUST MAKES ME REALIZE
WHAT I'VE BEEN MISSING.
[alarm blaring]
>> [laughing]
[alarm blaring]
>> LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
I'VE COMPLETELY BLANKED
ON THE ALARM CODE,
AND NOW I HAVE TO CALL
MY PARENTS.
>> DO YOU WANT ME TO STAY?
>> NO.
>> OKAY.
HEY, DON'T BE FREAKED OUT
IF I CALL YOU WHEN I GET HOME.
>> I WON'T.
I'LL ONLY BE FREAKED OUT
IF YOU DON'T.
HEY, IT'S ME.
I'M HOME, AND I CAN'T REMEMBER
THE ALARM CODE.
WAIT.
THE CODE IS IN THE JUNK DRAWER.
NEVER MIND.
[alarm blaring]
SOMEONE ONCE SAID THAT IT'S
CHOICE, NOT CHANCE, THAT
DETERMINES OUR DESTINY.
BUT IT WAS HARD FOR ME
TO PROCESS WHO WOULD EVER
CHOOSE TO FIND WHAT I FOUND.
IT WAS CHANCE.
