I've loved you since seventh grade

347
00:19:27,105 --> 00:19:30,608
when I made you ride in the front row
of Demon's Destiny at Six Flags,

348
00:19:30,692 --> 00:19:33,862
and you told me you sometimes get
a little seasick on roller coasters,

349
00:19:33,945 --> 00:19:36,239
and I said, "Come on, live a little."

350
00:19:36,322 --> 00:19:37,740
-I remember.
-Yeah.

351
00:19:37,824 --> 00:19:42,453
And then I puked all over your shoes and
you didn't even make me feel bad about it.

352
00:19:43,162 --> 00:19:44,330
No. You just said, um...

353
00:19:44,414 --> 00:19:47,292
"No worries. I've been wanting to get rid
of these shoes for a while."

354
00:19:47,375 --> 00:19:49,210
Yeah, because you outgrew them.

355
00:19:49,294 --> 00:19:50,587
The thing is...

356
00:19:51,296 --> 00:19:53,131
I never outgrew you.

357
00:19:54,132 --> 00:19:56,342
And I don't really know
what happens tomorrow,

358
00:19:56,426 --> 00:19:58,970
or in two minutes
when we walk out that door.

359
00:19:59,053 --> 00:20:00,972
-(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
-All I know is...

360
00:20:01,723 --> 00:20:03,474
I want this feeling to keep going.

361
00:20:05,727 --> 00:20:07,604
Because this whole experience...

362
00:20:08,980 --> 00:20:10,356
I'm just...

363
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,233
I'm not ready for it to be over.

364
00:20:14,861 --> 00:20:16,654
For us to be, I mean.

365
00:20:17,655 --> 00:20:20,533
And if that means doing another musical,
then fine.

366
00:20:21,409 --> 00:20:24,913
-I get to pick the musical.
-Fine. That's fine. It's all fine.

367
00:20:25,455 --> 00:20:28,833
I just... I don't want this to be
just be a showmance. Really.

368
00:20:30,084 --> 00:20:31,836
I want it to be the real thing.

369
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,839
I mean, I think it is the real thing,
I just... (SIGHS)

370
00:20:36,174 --> 00:20:38,468
I want a chance to prove it. I do.

371
00:20:39,969 --> 00:20:41,554
I mean, look...

372
00:20:41,638 --> 00:20:44,599
Ricky, um, you know in musicals

373
00:20:44,682 --> 00:20:47,560
when people burst into song
when they've run out of things to say?

374
00:20:48,144 --> 00:20:49,145
Yeah?

375
00:20:51,481 --> 00:20:53,233
Sometimes it's easier to just kiss.

376
00:20:53,316 --> 00:20:54,317
-Yeah?
-(CHUCKLES) Yeah.

377
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:55,401
RICKY: Yeah.

378
00:21:07,247 --> 00:21:08,748
-(RICKY EXHALES)
-Hey, wait.

379
00:21:10,917 --> 00:21:11,918
What's this?

380
00:21:12,001 --> 00:21:13,169
-Open it.
-What?

381
00:21:13,836 --> 00:21:15,046
(LAUGHS)

382
00:21:16,005 --> 00:21:17,006
Okay.

383
00:21:18,508 --> 00:21:20,134
"To Freaky Callback Boy."

384
00:21:20,677 --> 00:21:21,803
-(GIGGLES)
-Wow.

385
00:21:22,136 --> 00:21:23,930
This is nice. (CHUCKLES)

386
00:21:24,013 --> 00:21:27,225
I am a guy who wears
necklaces now, apparently.

387
00:21:27,308 --> 00:21:28,309
Yeah.

388
00:21:28,935 --> 00:21:31,980
And I also feel less stupid
for doing this.

389
00:21:42,699 --> 00:21:45,994
"To Freaky Math Girl." Of course.

390
00:21:46,536 --> 00:21:48,621
There's a song, too. I, uh...

391
00:21:48,705 --> 00:21:50,748
(CHUCKLES) I kinda owe you one.

392
00:21:54,252 --> 00:21:55,795
-(KNOCK ON DOOR)
-Uh, knock, knock.

393
00:21:55,879 --> 00:21:59,007
Nini, your moms are asking for you,
and I think your grandma wants pictures.

394
00:21:59,382 --> 00:22:00,383
Got it.

395
00:22:02,385 --> 00:22:04,012
-I should probably...
-Yeah.

396
00:22:04,929 --> 00:22:06,097
-One more.
-Mm.

397
00:22:08,266 --> 00:22:09,601
-(BOTH CHUCKLE)
-Okay.

398
00:22:09,684 --> 00:22:10,685
RICKY: I'll catch up.

399
00:22:10,768 --> 00:22:12,312
-Gotta get this makeup off.
-Okay.

00:22:13,813 --> 00:22:14,814
(NINI CHUCKLES)

401
00:22:16,858 --> 00:22:19,777
Cast party at Ashlyn's, you guys!
Everybody's invited!

402
00:22:20,153 --> 00:22:22,405
-I'm in.
-Wait, didn't we just do a party?

403
00:22:22,488 --> 00:22:24,365
What can I say? I was born to rage.

404
00:22:24,449 --> 00:22:26,576
I smell a-choosical redo-sical!

405
00:22:26,659 --> 00:22:28,203
I made up some new questions.

406
00:22:28,286 --> 00:22:30,580
-(MISS JENN GASPS)
-Gina, wait.

407
00:22:30,663 --> 00:22:31,789
Hey, you coming?

408
00:22:31,873 --> 00:22:35,126
Uh... (SIGHS) I can't.
Flying back in a couple hours.

409
00:22:35,210 --> 00:22:37,837
Cancel it.
You can spend the night in our guest room.

410
00:22:37,921 --> 00:22:40,131
Honestly, you can stay through Christmas
if you want.

411
00:22:40,215 --> 00:22:41,549
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

412
00:22:41,633 --> 00:22:43,301
Or, actually...

413
00:22:45,053 --> 00:22:46,054
What?

414
00:22:46,971 --> 00:22:48,681
I just had the craziest idea.

415
00:22:49,557 --> 00:22:50,683
(SHORT CHUCKLE)

416
00:22:52,268 --> 00:22:53,478
Mr. Mazzara!

417
00:22:55,813 --> 00:22:58,608
-I have something to say to you.
-Well, that makes two of us.

418
00:22:59,234 --> 00:23:01,986
We finally figured out who started
the fire in the theater.

419
00:23:02,070 --> 00:23:03,279
-Faulty wiring?
-Senior prank?

420
00:23:03,363 --> 00:23:05,114
It was the two of you.

421
00:23:08,451 --> 00:23:09,953
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

422
00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:13,248
Hey! Thank you. Appreciate it.

423

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

424
00:23:21,756 --> 00:23:23,800
-Nini.
-Oh, my gosh.

425
00:23:23,883 --> 00:23:26,261
-Hi.
-Uh... You're from the...

426
00:23:26,344 --> 00:23:29,347
Conservatory. Kalyani Patel.
It's nice to meet you.

427
00:23:29,430 --> 00:23:31,724
I just... I, uh... I thought you left.

428
00:23:31,808 --> 00:23:34,435
Ah. Forgive me for leaving
before the curtain call.

429
00:23:34,519 --> 00:23:37,522
I had an important phone call to make
to the president of the board.

430
00:23:37,605 --> 00:23:38,606
(SHORT CHUCKLE)

431
00:23:40,149 --> 00:23:42,360
(SIGHS) Nini, you have talent.

432
00:23:43,069 --> 00:23:46,406
But more than that,
you have a unique voice,

433
00:23:46,489 --> 00:23:48,783
and it's clear you have things to say.

434
00:23:50,034 --> 00:23:53,162
I'd like to offer you a spot
starting next month.

435
00:23:55,748 --> 00:23:57,458
-Mm.
-You'll let me know?

436
00:23:57,542 --> 00:23:58,543
Yeah.

437
00:23:59,210 --> 00:24:00,295
(GASPS)

438
00:24:06,759 --> 00:24:08,595
Yo, Nini! You ready to go?

439
00:24:11,347 --> 00:24:13,558
-(SIGHS SOFTLY)
-Come on. Everyone's waiting.

440
00:24:16,269 --> 00:24:19,480
Buckle up, Wildcats.
You ain't seen nothin' yet.

Wow.

00:25:43,815 --> 00:25:45,817
I have a lot of questions.
