00:00:06,528 --> 00:00:09,280
Miss Jenn went a little insane.

00:00:09,364 --> 00:00:11,699
And Nini and Ricky
were nowhere to be found.

00:00:13,034 --> 00:00:14,786

I have to wear this jacket?
12
00:00:24,879 --> 00:00:26,839
-It might rip.
-You're great. Don't worry!

18
00:00:56,661 --> 00:00:57,662
You're late.
19
00:00:57,745 --> 00:00:59,873
(SCOFFS) We finished painting the sets
20 minutes ago.
20
00:00:59,956 --> 00:01:01,040
What's the big emergency?
21
00:01:01,124 --> 00:01:03,918
I wanna play you something.
Just promise me you won't laugh.
22
00:01:04,002 --> 00:01:05,712
I have no control over when I laugh.
23

(CHUCKLES) Here goes.
24
00:01:10,091 --> 00:01:15,263
(SINGING) I fell in love
25
00:01:15,346 --> 00:01:19,017
With the only girl
who knows what I'm about
26
00:01:19,100 --> 00:01:22,020
-I'm gonna stop you right there.
-Can I at least do the first verse?
27
00:01:23,062 --> 00:01:24,480
-Sure.
-Okay.
28

After all is said and done
29

I can't just pretend I'm movin' on

00:01:30,904 --> 00:01:33,406
Is it just a part we're playing
31

'Cause it don't feel like we're faking
32
00:01:36,117 --> 00:01:37,577
Uh... Can I talk now?
33
00:01:38,578 --> 00:01:40,038
So this is for Gina?
34
00:01:40,121 --> 00:01:41,372
I thought she moved away.
35
00:01:41,789 --> 00:01:44,375
She did.
The day after she missed tech rehearsal.
36
00:01:44,459 --> 00:01:45,793
It all happened so fast.
37
00:01:46,586 --> 00:01:47,587
Okay.
38
00:01:47,879 --> 00:01:49,672
The song is for Nini.
39
00:01:49,756 --> 00:01:51,883
Like an opening night thing.
40
00:01:53,343 --> 00:01:55,178
Nini and I almost kissed the other day.
41
00:01:55,261 --> 00:01:56,304
Wait, what?
42
00:02:03,019 --> 00:02:04,270
You're not talking.
43
00:02:04,354 --> 00:02:05,438
I'm reading.
44
00:02:05,522 --> 00:02:08,983
Come on, it's not a novel.
It's just four words.
45
00:02:09,442 --> 00:02:10,610
Four little words.
46
00:02:11,486 --> 00:02:12,487
It's jewelry.
47
00:02:12,570 --> 00:02:13,696
It's a dog tag.
48
00:02:13,780 --> 00:02:16,282
But he's gonna wear it around his neck.
That's jewelry.
49
00:02:16,366 --> 00:02:17,659
Silly opening night gift.
50
00:02:17,742 --> 00:02:19,702
I'm sure
Ricky's gonna give me something, too.
51
00:02:21,037 --> 00:02:22,038
What?
52
00:02:22,705 --> 00:02:23,831
I just think it's deep.
53
00:02:23,915 --> 00:02:24,999
Well, it should be.
54
00:02:25,083 --> 00:02:29,087
We've come a long way,

Everything okay?
58
00:02:38,096 --> 00:02:40,265
Miss Jenn asked if I knew Taylor's lines.

MISS JENN: We were able to secure the gym
as our performance space tonight.
70
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,801
I made a video on my phone of three rats
71
00:03:16,885 --> 00:03:19,178
fighting over a Milk Dud
at the El Rey Theatre,
72
00:03:19,262 --> 00:03:22,265
and the school board
and the principal caved. (CHUCKLES)
73
00:03:23,057 --> 00:03:26,978
I just like to take a moment alone
on opening night,
74
00:03:27,061 --> 00:03:28,646
before all the chaos begins.
75
00:03:29,814 --> 00:03:31,316
Savor the solitude.
76
00:03:32,942 --> 00:03:35,069
Sorry! Didn't mean to startle you.
77
00:03:35,153 --> 00:03:36,487
Ricky! You're really early!
78
00:03:36,946 --> 00:03:39,949
I know. I didn't know what do with myself
all afternoon.
79
00:03:40,033 --> 00:03:42,202

Yeah, it's just a lot.

My mom's coming tonight,
82
00:03:45,747 --> 00:03:48,791
and I've technically never been
in a musical before, so...
83
00:03:48,875 --> 00:03:50,752
I understand the stress you're under.
84
00:03:51,336 --> 00:03:53,588
All I can tell you
is what my director told me
85
00:03:53,671 --> 00:03:55,673
the night somebody sneezed
a blueberry muffin
86
00:03:55,757 --> 00:03:58,760
onto the stage during a regional
production of South Pacific.
87
00:04:00,094 --> 00:04:01,095
Use it.
88
00:04:02,013 --> 00:04:03,014
Okay.
89
00:04:03,097 --> 00:04:05,892
Besides, if you're the only actor
with opening night jitters,
90
00:04:05,975 --> 00:04:07,352
we are in excellent shape.
91
00:04:11,064 --> 00:04:12,190
Oh! Uh...

00:04:12,273 --> 00:04:14,359

Let me guess, jitters?

Little bit. I just realized this morning
this is the first time

00:04:20,114 --> 00:04:21,950
I've been cast as the lead on purpose.
97

But it won't be the last.
98
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,286
Tell her the muffin story.

Do I have to?

in a couple hours for pre-game.

Yeah. Well, one night only.
378

It's tough, you know?
Seeing Gina, it's like she never left.
380

But I'm also not who I was a week ago.
381
00:19:59,304 --> 00:20:01,681
Or maybe I'm just back
to who I always was?
382
00:20:02,390 --> 00:20:05,101
I don't know. Something's different.
383
00:20:05,768 --> 00:20:07,562
I didn't think we'd ever see you again.
384
00:20:08,021 --> 00:20:09,147

Don't say anything.

just in time.

You were so funny, Kourt.

that we were out there together.

The Dean.
From the Youth Actors Conservatory.

What? Why?

and I thought about what you said.
