00:19:37,803 --> 00:19:42,433
And then I puked all over your shoes and
you didn't even make me feel bad about it.
352
00:19:43,141 --> 00:19:44,311
No. You just said, um...
353
00:19:44,393 --> 00:19:47,273
"No worries. I've been wanting to get rid
of these shoes for a while."
354
00:19:47,354 --> 00:19:49,194
Yeah, because you outgrew them.
355
00:19:49,273 --> 00:19:50,573
The thing is...
356
00:19:51,275 --> 00:19:53,105
I never outgrew you.
357
00:19:54,111 --> 00:19:56,321
And I don't really know
what happens tomorrow,
358
00:19:56,405 --> 00:19:58,945
or in two minutes
when we walk out that door.
359
00:19:59,032 --> 00:20:00,952
-(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
-All I know is...
360
00:20:01,702 --> 00:20:03,452
I want this feeling to keep going.
361
00:20:05,706 --> 00:20:07,576
Because this whole experience...
362
00:20:08,959 --> 00:20:10,339
I'm just...
363
00:20:10,419 --> 00:20:12,209
I'm not ready for it to be over.
364
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,630
For us to be, I mean.
365
00:20:17,634 --> 00:20:20,514
And if that means doing another musical,
then fine.
366
00:20:21,388 --> 00:20:24,888
-I get to pick the musical.
-Fine. That's fine. It's all fine.
367
00:20:25,434 --> 00:20:28,814
I just... I don't want this to be
just be a showmance. Really.
368
00:20:30,063 --> 00:20:31,823
I want it to be the real thing.
369
00:20:31,899 --> 00:20:34,819
I mean, I think it is the real thing,
I just... (SIGHS)
370
00:20:36,153 --> 00:20:38,453
I want a chance to prove it. I do.
371
00:20:39,948 --> 00:20:41,528
I mean, look...
372
00:20:41,617 --> 00:20:44,577
Ricky, um, you know in musicals
373
00:20:44,661 --> 00:20:47,541
when people burst into song
when they've run out of things to say?
374
00:20:48,123 --> 00:20:49,123
Yeah?
375
00:20:51,460 --> 00:20:53,210
Sometimes it's easier to just kiss.
376
00:20:53,295 --> 00:20:54,295
-Yeah?
-(CHUCKLES) Yeah.
377
00:20:54,379 --> 00:20:55,379
RICKY: Yeah.
378
00:21:07,226 --> 00:21:08,726
-(RICKY EXHALES)
-Hey, wait.
379
00:21:10,896 --> 00:21:11,896
What's this?
380
00:21:11,980 --> 00:21:13,150
-Open it.
-What?
381
00:21:13,815 --> 00:21:15,025
(LAUGHS)
382
00:21:15,984 --> 00:21:16,994
Okay.
383
00:21:18,487 --> 00:21:20,107
"To Freaky Callback Boy."
384
00:21:20,656 --> 00:21:21,776
-(GIGGLES)
-Wow.
385
00:21:22,115 --> 00:21:23,905
This is nice. (CHUCKLES)
386
00:21:23,992 --> 00:21:27,202
I am a guy who wears
necklaces now, apparently.
387
00:21:27,287 --> 00:21:28,287
Yeah.
388
00:21:28,914 --> 00:21:31,964
And I also feel less stupid
for doing this.
389
00:21:42,678 --> 00:21:45,968
"To Freaky Math Girl." Of course.
390
00:21:46,515 --> 00:21:48,595
There's a song, too. I, uh...
391
00:21:48,684 --> 00:21:50,734
(CHUCKLES) I kinda owe you one.
392
00:21:54,231 --> 00:21:55,771
-(KNOCK ON DOOR)
-Uh, knock, knock.
393
00:21:55,858 --> 00:21:58,988
Nini, your moms are asking for you,
and I think your grandma wants pictures.
394
00:21:59,361 --> 00:22:00,361
Got it.
395
00:22:02,364 --> 00:22:03,994
-I should probably...
-Yeah.
396
00:22:04,908 --> 00:22:06,078
-One more.
-Mm.
397
00:22:08,245 --> 00:22:09,575
-(BOTH CHUCKLE)
-Okay.
398
00:22:09,663 --> 00:22:10,663
RICKY: I'll catch up.
399
00:22:10,747 --> 00:22:12,287
-Gotta get this makeup off.
-Okay.
400
00:22:13,792 --> 00:22:14,792
(NINI CHUCKLES)
401
00:22:16,837 --> 00:22:19,757
Cast party at Ashlyn's, you guys!
Everybody's invited!
402
00:22:20,132 --> 00:22:22,382
-I'm in.
-Wait, didn't we just do a party?
403
00:22:22,467 --> 00:22:24,337
What can I say? I was born to rage.
404
00:22:24,428 --> 00:22:26,558
I smell a-choosical redo-sical!
405
00:22:26,638 --> 00:22:28,178
I made up some new questions.
406
00:22:28,265 --> 00:22:30,555
-(MISS JENN GASPS)
-Gina, wait.
407
00:22:30,642 --> 00:22:31,772
Hey, you coming?
408
00:22:31,852 --> 00:22:35,112
Uh... (SIGHS) I can't.
Flying back in a couple hours.
409
00:22:35,189 --> 00:22:37,819
Cancel it.
You can spend the night in our guest room.
410
00:22:37,900 --> 00:22:40,110
Honestly, you can stay through Christmas
if you want.
411
00:22:40,194 --> 00:22:41,534
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
412
00:22:41,612 --> 00:22:43,282
Or, actually...
413
00:22:45,032 --> 00:22:46,032
What?
414
00:22:46,950 --> 00:22:48,660
I just had the craziest idea.
415
00:22:49,536 --> 00:22:50,656
(SHORT CHUCKLE)
416
00:22:52,247 --> 00:22:53,457
Mr. Mazzara!
417
00:22:55,792 --> 00:22:58,592
-I have something to say to you.
-Well, that makes two of us.
418
00:22:59,213 --> 00:23:01,973
We finally figured out who started
the fire in the theater.
419
00:23:02,049 --> 00:23:03,259
-Faulty wiring?
-Senior prank?
420
00:23:03,342 --> 00:23:05,092
It was the two of you.
421
00:23:08,430 --> 00:23:09,930
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
422
00:23:11,099 --> 00:23:13,229
Hey! Thank you. Appreciate it.
423
00:23:17,064 --> 00:23:18,154
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
424
00:23:21,735 --> 00:23:23,775
-Nini.
-Oh, my gosh.
425
00:23:23,862 --> 00:23:26,242
-Hi.
-Uh... You're from the...
426
00:23:26,323 --> 00:23:29,333
Conservatory. Kalyani Patel.
It's nice to meet you.
427
00:23:29,409 --> 00:23:31,699
I just... I, uh... I thought you left.
428
00:23:31,787 --> 00:23:34,407
Ah. Forgive me for leaving
before the curtain call.
429
00:23:34,498 --> 00:23:37,498
I had an important phone call to make
to the president of the board.
430
00:23:37,584 --> 00:23:38,594
(SHORT CHUCKLE)
431
00:23:40,128 --> 00:23:42,338
(SIGHS) Nini, you have talent.
432
00:23:43,048 --> 00:23:46,388
But more than that,
you have a unique voice,
433
00:23:46,468 --> 00:23:48,758
and it's clear you have things to say.
434
00:23:50,013 --> 00:23:53,143
I'd like to offer you a spot
starting next month.
435
00:23:55,727 --> 00:23:57,437
-Mm.
-You'll let me know?
436
00:23:57,521 --> 00:23:58,521
Yeah.
437
00:23:59,189 --> 00:24:00,269
(GASPS)
438
00:24:06,738 --> 00:24:08,568
Yo, Nini! You ready to go?
439
00:24:11,326 --> 00:24:13,536
-(SIGHS SOFTLY)
-Come on. Everyone's waiting.
440
00:24:16,248 --> 00:24:19,458
Buckle up, Wildcats.
You ain't seen nothin' yet.
441
00:24:20,752 --> 00:24:21,842

(GASPS SOFTLY)
447
00:25:41,416 --> 00:25:42,416
Wow.
448
00:25:43,794 --> 00:25:45,804
I have a lot of questions.
449
00:25:59,768 --> 00:26:01,188
(BOTH LAUGHING)
