Original subtitles

You take my hand for the first time.

It's like a perfect rhyme.

I'm falling head first, but I can't wait.

I've never felt this great.

But Jake doesn't hear me because I'm not a tomato.

Allie and Claire, where the heck did they go? My friends are too busy and I'm

feeling low.

But I think you're great, and my name is Becky.

You're the new girl, she's singing with me. We're singing together, it's perfect

harmony.

Hi, I'm Becky Baker.

But you already know that because I just sang it to you.

Jenna.

You are so good at singing.

Except good musicians usually have an audience.

You read my mind.

I'm having some people over tomorrow, and they love music.

You should come play.

Like a jam session?

Sure.

Do you invite strangers to your house often?

I'm coming on a little strong, aren't I?

Sorry, it's just hard to make friends here.

Well, I know what that's like.

I was the new girl once.

Does that mean you'll come?

I'll let you know.

You know what they say.

When God closes the door, he opens the window.

And if I hold out, I know I can make it through.

People go, they go, they go after me.

But every time, I know I can make it.

I can make it. I can make it through.

What do you know about Becky Baker? All I can gather from Faith's range is

from Florida and loves musicals. I don't know.

She's perky.

And she gave Dave this weird pamphlet thing.

She met me to her house for a jam session.

Well, maybe she wants to give you a pamphlet.

God. Come with me.

Oh, I would love to, Jenna, but this whole fast -tracking thing equals zero

What about Jake? He's busy with his garden, and Claire has her once -in -a

-lifetime internship, and Eli.

School goes.

Still not dressed, Jenna.

Maybe my mom can be your date.

And she'd hate me more.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that.

So what do you and this Becky girl have in common?

Music. She even emailed me a song to learn for later.

Well, that sounds like a match made in heaven.

Becky Baker, here I come.

Torres.

You can't play basketball.

Of course I can. Did you see a three -pointer?

Sorry, son. No physical activity until that noggin's back to normal.

Mom's orders.

What am I supposed to do, watch?

That would be cruel.

Here's a health assignment.

Great.

You hit your head too?

That time of the month.

Or at least that's what I told Armstrong so I could look for a new roommate

online, but then he stuck me with this health assignment.

What's the smallest contractile unit of a skeletal muscle?

Don't know.

Me neither.

And there are 49 more questions just like that one.

Have these?

Sure. So, 20 each?

Um, that's only a reconsidering. Okay, I'm no mathematician, but I do know.

Okay,

easy, Thor.

Um, okay, you take the bottom half, I'll take the top.

I'm not a girl.

Act gross, then I tell Bianca.

You can't get a write -up room, so

send me the files.

Newsy, what do you got for me?

I, uh, I just finished transcribing your interview with the mayor. That guy sure

does talk.

Yeah, he doesn't say much, though, does he? Also, here's the list of all the

outdoor pools on the east side for the Outdoor Workers Union piece.

What's this?

Oh, no, that's nothing.

Oh, Claire Edwards' original.

It's just a stupid geography assignment. I'm supposed to meet my group after I'm

done here.

Your name's on it, right?

Now, Claire, if you want to be a journalist, your byline is your

You take a stand, people will use your entire back catalog to discredit you.

There's no reason.

Every piece of work shouldn't be your best.

Well, how can I make it better?

Well, for starters, your introduction is limp.

You're trying to grab the audience and hold their attention.

Second, you're supposed to build this around a narrative.

Storytelling's key, mm?

Jenna, I'm so happy you came.

Um, did you get the songs I emailed you? Uh, yeah, hope you don't mind, but I

reworked some of the chords to suit my range.

I can't wait to hear them. You can set up here.

Whoa, full house.

I promised you an audience.

Everyone, this is Jenna.

Looks like I'm the only one who brought my guitar. Hope you guys like music. Who

doesn't? Ever since Becky and her family joined us, there's been so much more of

it around.

Joined?

How do you know each other?

We go to the same church.

Becky's dad's the new minister.

So this is some sort of youth group.

A Christian youth group.

Becky didn't mention it?

Um, didn't I?

I don't know about you guys, but I'd love to hear Jenna sing.

Please, Jenna?

Yeah.

I want to walk with you, dear friend of mine.

Killer Bee's second stinging 3D tonight?

It's supposed to be so bad it's good.

I wish I'd have to finish this stupid health assignment.

This concussion is ruining my life. I can't do anything fun.

That's not true.

It's supposed to be relaxing after school, Drew.

Um, that was relaxing.

And you, Miss Bianca, should be working on your university application for the

application fee.

Thank you, Mrs. Torres.

You're going to get this back every penny.

School's important for both of you.

Then why is it I can't do the one class I'm not failing?

Because the doctor said that another injury could lead to permanent damage.

Audra's just looking out for you, Drew.

How? By making me feel stupid and smothered?

Okay.

Let's focus on your assignment.

For every muscle you remember, you get one of these.

You have another headache?

Okay, maybe you should just relax for real this time.

What about my health assignment?

Don't worry.

It'll be finished when you wake up.

I picked up some samosas at the store and thought they would inspire some

ideas for our presentation.

I think we should just open up with a map of India showing how each territory

joined and when.

Asher says we need to dig deep, find the narrative in the work.

Who's Asher?

Well, the assignment says we're supposed to, quote, pick a Commonwealth country,

illustrate how they joined, and discuss whether their membership was positive or

negative, end quote.

And we'll do that.

Through a multi -sensory experience that transports her audience to India.

It's a grade 11 geography assignment.

Let's just get the A and get out.

But Asher says every piece of work needs to be your best work.

Wow. This Asher guy sounds like a real piece of work.

You know what?

Clearly you guys don't share my vision.

You can go.

I'll do the project myself.

are in the kitchen, and I'll meet you there.

Wasn't that fun?

Um, you're leaving.

You're mad? You lied to me. I didn't lie.

Lying's a sin. I just left out a few details. Did you invite me over because

think I need saving or something? No, I was trying to help. You said you needed

a friend.

Oh, so I'm like your charity cake. No, Jenna, I'm sorry. You're

me. No, you're misunderstanding me.

I am not Christian, Becky.

I don't even know if I believe in God.

I'll let myself out.

Then she was like, oh, P .S., this is my church group. The nerve.

I guess you and Becky won't be besties for everything.

Not a chance in hell.

Well, can't say I didn't warn you.

You didn't tell me she was Christian.

Wait, the problem is that she lied, right? Not that she's Christian?

Attention, class.

Subject for your midterm creative project is... Elizabethan era.

Shakespeare. Spanish armadas.

Colonization. Groups of three.

Go, go, go, go.

Ali, you want to partner up? No, no, no.

Boyfriends get first priority.

Plus, I already said yes to Connor.

Well, that's okay. I'll just partner up with a random.

Hi.

Hello. Relax. Act natural.

Would you like to join my group?

Yes.

I mean, yes.

I started to say sure, but I was thinking yes.

I'm Luke.

So, who's our third? My sister. I think you know her.

Come on.

You've got to be kidding me.

Did you finish your questions, Thor?

Yep. Did you finish yours? Yes, I did.

Let's swap fast for Armstrong's seat.

Crap.

Crap, crap, crap, crap.

Is this a concussion thing where you repeat the same word over and over

No, no. I did my assignment last night.

Bianca did it.

Well, V, it's due by the end of class.

I could have swore I put it in my bag.

Or maybe I left it on the kitchen counter.

Oh, Drew, think. Think. Again with the repetition.

Just back off.

Okay? It's not my fault. It's my stupid brain.

You know, at some point you're going to have to stop blaming your concussion and

get your life in order.

Especially when people are counting on you.

Where are you going?

Nowhere.

Marking rubrics are on my desk.

I got it.

So how are you and your brother in the same grade?

Luke's only 11 months older.

And he's great.

But it's not the same as having a real girlfriend.

Seriously, Becky, why do you want to be friends with me?

You hardly know me. Well, I can get to know you.

Fine.

I had a baby last year.

And I gave him up for adoption.

So does the Christian girl still want to be friends now?

Didn't think so.

That must have been so hard.

It was.

Wait, why aren't you being more judgy?

God doesn't care about your past.

And neither do I.

So, you'll be in our group?

Please, please, please.

With Jerry on top.

Well, when you put it that way.

Wasn't your co -op over for the day an hour ago?

Yeah, I just thought I'd stay and get some work done on my group project

heading back to school.

Where's your group?

They didn't share our enthusiasm for insightful storytelling.

Too bad. India's a fascinating adventure.

You've been?

While I've got you, maybe I can ask you about another thrilling adventure into

the online world. Oh, a story on email scams?

No.

How does one get something trending on Twitter?

Really? Well, I can show you. I'd prefer to be at Luddite, remaining as offline

as possible, but my editor prefers otherwise.

Okay, well, this is me.

There are a few ways to get stuff trending. First, you have to add a

your tweets. It's helpful if it's catchy.

Like this? Stuff Claire says?

What?

Is that about you?

Uh, no.

No, it couldn't be. Aren't they addressed to you?

Why settle for that?

We can do so much better, Asher says.

Are you sure you wouldn't prefer to remain a Luddite? It's very principled.

I will for now.

I'm going to be uptown in 20.

Hey, Mott Walker.

This is like your fifth lap. Shouldn't you be at school?

No, I skipped. I don't exactly feel like I belong in the team.

I spent over $700 on this phone because you said that I could video chat with my

niece. And it doesn't work.

Do you have the right app?

Where do I get the right app?

Maybe the phone's not the problem. Either you get me a manager or you take

piece of junk and give me my money back.

Well, there's a whole lot of commission down the drain.

Ma 'am.

If you return this, you'll never be able to video chat with your niece.

And if she looks anything like you, I'm sure she's a cutie.

May I see your phone?

There.

All right. To talk to your niece, you just press the picture of the video

right here.

And then type her number in? Yeah.

That is easy.

Thank you. No problem.

Dude, that was amazing.

I moved an app. You were her hero. Plus, you saved my commission.

Is there any chance you're looking for a job?

I wasn't thinking about it. Start thinking.

You've got people smarts and a smile that makes a lady's mouth?

Seriously? You should fill out an application online.

Why did you post that thing to Twitter?

Stuff Claire says? It was a joke. It wasn't funny?

Adam thought it was.

I was just egging you on. You realized what you posted was public. Anyone can

read it.

That was the point.

You were acting so full of yourself. But my mentor saw it. Do you understand how

embarrassing that was?

I love working with Asher, and I don't want to lose my co -op just because you

have Asperger's. Because I have Asperger's?

Do you hear yourself?

Don't overreact.

Please.

Delete the tweets.

Delete the tweets.

Tweet.

Stop it. I'm begging you. Stop it. I'm begging you.

Keith, anything else you'd like to say?

Got it.

Elizabethan era's fourth, like shuttlecock.

Watch your mouth.

What? That's like badminton.

How about the Globe Theater and how it reflected the time?

Studying class and culture through the theater?

Sounds like an inspired idea.

Oh, hey, Dad. This is Jenna. Oh, nice to meet you.

I'm off to evening service.

Please don't burn the house down while I'm out.

Whoa, check it. Lower class people only paid a penny and they put it in a box.

That's where the term box office comes from.

Thanks, Bastoid.

Hello? Hello?

Kelly? Oh, my goodness. One sec.

Jenna. I'm so sorry. This is my BFF from Florida, and we haven't talked in

weeks. This could be a long one. I don't mind.

Austin, you're out.

Did you win the Pure Grand Championship?

She's a little spark plug, huh?

Yeah. She reminds me of me.

Well, old me.

Yeah, what happened to spark plug Jenna?

Life.

Let's just say I kind of lost my way.

How is Becky so positive all the time? Both of you.

Faith. We believe God has a path for us, and if we follow it, everything will be

okay.

You really think that?

No, I know it.

It's like I feel more confident knowing he's watching out for me.

I know he's always got my back, so I'm never alone.

Must be nice to have a path.

Someone always watching your back.

It's just...

How do you believe in something you can't see?

Easy, just... feel.

I have no previous experience.

Lie. Everyone's had a fast food job. Just say you excel in fast -paced retail

environments. You should feel good at that.

That better be homework.

Uh, no. I'm applying for a job.

You have a job recovering from a concussion. It's only a couple of hours

school, plus it's fun.

You're sick right now.

You need tutoring and brain exercise, not a job.

You gotta get your grades up.

Not if I didn't have school.

So you gonna drop out?

Funny. Mom, I need this. You need to get better.

I'm sick of her treating me like such a baby.

Then stop acting like one.

Then he said, God has a path for all of us.

And we kissed.

JM is back in the game. Can I get a whoop whoop?

Kay, you've been hanging around Dave too much.

Sorry. So do you think it's true that we all have a past because of God?

I believe we're the masters of our own destiny.

I have this good feeling in my tummy, like I can turn my life around and find

place again.

Is this good feeling for God or for Luke?

Both. Maybe a little more Luke. He has this kissable face.

Well, speaking of the divine... Hi!

Hey.

So we should talk about last night.

Yeah, I agree.

Jenna, last night was... Was really something.

I know.

But will Becky be upset?

No, I just think it was a mistake.

What? Look, you're sweet and you're crazy too, but you tempt

me.

Tempt you?

Yeah. Like sexually?

Yeah, it's not.

Part of God's path.

Luke, no one's having sex here.

You already have, which means that we could.

Maybe it would be different if you were Christian.
