EMCEE:
Welcome to STEMCON...

[applause]

...the biggest science, technology,
engineering and mathematics competition

of the year.

Now, welcome to the stage
our reigning champion,

sure to dazzle us yet again,

Ms. Avery Hansen‐White.

[cheering]

STUDENT: Go, Avery!

AVERY: I might not have been standing
naked in front of this audience,

but, trust me, this was
my absolute worst nightmare.

Let me back up a bit.

♪ upbeat music playing ♪

I thought I had it all figured out.

♪ I'm amazing! ♪

I had a record‐breaking GPA,
an impeccable résumé,

and an early acceptance to MIT,

with a side of full ride.

♪ Who you lookin' at? ♪

I don't want to say I ruled the school,

but I ruled the school.

STUDENT: Whoa!

AVERY: And not because I cared about
fitting in with the popular crowd

or finding a hot date to prom.

Eff all that.

STEMCON was my prom.

Hello, girlfriends.

The national STEM competition
was the event of the year

and wining the senior year competition
is the holy grail.

You win a fellowship
that basically sets you up for life.

Everyone was rooting for me except...

Carlson.

‐ Hey, Avery.

AVERY: But she teaches sex ed,
which doesn't count.

STUDENT: Avery's here.

[indistinct conversation]

‐ Today is the day.
‐ Ooh!

‐ Ah, there she is.
‐ God, what a power couple.

Got a perfect score on his SAT.

‐ He is a perfect score.

And trust me, his brain is huge.

AVERY: Here it comes, here it is!

[computer beeps]

[rhythmic fanfare plays]

‐ Hey, hey, STEMMERS,
are you excited? I am.

Former STEMCON champ Nada Raj here,

coming at you
with this year's STEM challenge.

Now I know at this moment
you're all at the edge of your seats,

anxiously awaiting this year's prom,

so, without further ado, here it is.

Create an app...

‐ Oh, my God, it's your thing!

‐ ...that solves a problem
in your personal life.

‐ Oh, my God, you are so
gonna win STEMCON again.

MIT, Nobel Peace.

Look out, world,
here comes Avery Hansen‐White!

So, you must have concepts
flooding your mind.

‐ Oh, yeah. No, they sure are.

‐ Like what? Like what?

NADA:
Here's a chance to prove your mettle

at the nation's greatest
science competition.

We'll see you and your
life‐improving app in a month.

Get ready, get set...

make like an apple and STEM!

STUDENT: Avery?

[school bell ringing]

Hello?

So... what's the story?

‐ Oh, uh, STEMCON.
‐ Oh, they announced the challenge?

‐ Yeah. I basically have to create an app
to solve a problem in my personal life.

‐ Ooh, maybe you should start
by having one.

AVERY: Hmm.

This is Larson.

[blows raspberry]

We've been friends
basically our whole lives.

‐ I have a bootiful and powerful vagina.

This is my vulvar,
up dare is my cervakicks.

‐ [chuckles]
This is my pee‐pee! Waaah!

AVERY: While he didn't share my passion
for scientific precision...

‐ I'm in the ocean!

AVERY: ... he was always game to be
the subject of my experiments.

While I was setting
the academic bar for our peers,

he was giving the assist.

I was breaking records
and publishing research...

‐ You did it!

‐ ...he was taking one for the team.

Until freshman year when
our experimenting came to a hard stop.

‐ Oh!

AVERY: We decided to retire
our scholarly partnership

and just be friends.

‐ Sorry.

‐ Cute.
‐ Shut up.

Some of us experience
attraction to other humans.

‐ Yeah, and for some of us,
attraction is sapiosexual.

‐ Wha...

‐ Intellectual.

‐ Right, like with your imaginary
science camp boyfriend?

‐ Yes. Casper does my brain
like no one else.

You know he speaks fluent Vulcan?

‐ Vulcan? Why not learn a useful language
like Latin or Chinese?

‐ What do you mean, Mandarin or Cantonese?

Doesn't matter, he actually speaks both.

And there's actually a petition
circulating to make Vulcan

the eighth romance language,
so knock it off.

‐ Are you taking him to prom?

‐ Prom? Are you kidding?

‐ No.

‐ Do you really think prom
is on my list of priorities?

‐ No. That's my point.

You never do any
of the regular high school stuff.

You need to have fun.

‐ Nailing life is fun for me, Larson.

‐ We're seniors, and you still have
never been to a school dance.

Now, we both know you don't
do things you're not great at,

which makes me think you can't dance.

‐ Oh, I could dance if I wanted to,

but it won't win me a Nobel Prize.

‐ Okay, so go to nerd prom with Casper
and go to fun prom with me.

‐ Go to prom with you. Oh, no.

‐ Come on.
Senior single scene is dire.

Everyone's all coupled up.

‐ Well, why don't you ask that cute girl
who melted your brain seconds ago?

‐ She didn't melt my brain.
Besides, I have zero ins.

You, you're my oldest friend.

And next year, you'll be far away.

It's the end of an era.

Let's do prom.

It's like a rite of passage.

‐ That's really sweet, Larson,

but if you wanna do prom, you should
ask someone who would enjoy it.

[scoffs]

Just more concerned with academic
milestones than superfluous ones.

[Larson scoffs]

‐ It's a rough one.

‐ Yeah.

[school bell rings]

AVERY: I had 33 days to create
an app for STEMCON.

I never had a shortage of ideas,
but I had already optimized my life

so there were no areas of weakness.

There was nothing to improve.

Give me global warming,
give me world hunger.

But a personal problem?

Do we have a bad connection here?

What's going on?

‐ Oh, thank God.

It's not like I was scared of sex.

I was raised in a progressive family.

But I just was not prepared for this.
Let me explain.

WOMAN 1: How are you feeling?
WOMAN 2: Yes, how are you feeling?

WOMAN 1: Name your feelings by name.

Do you understand what's going on?

‐ These are my moms.

Mama Suze is a steadfast lesbo,

and Ma Deb is an artist,

renowned for vulvic art that would
make Georgia O'Keeffe blush.

‐ We still love you.

‐ So much.

‐ And that's Kim, my bonus mom.

She doesn't do labels,
but she does do Ma Deb.

‐ And you can live with whoever you want.

‐ I'm going to split my time 50‐50
so as to reduce the burden on all.

‐ Ohh!

AVERY:
I have no shortage of maternal support,

but they weren't exactly the ones
to turn to for advice on sex with men.

‐ Don't you think you'll feel better
if you just tell me?

‐ No, 'cause you'll just tell Ma Deb.

‐ Would you prefer I guess?

‐ [scoffs] Yeah. Good luck there.

‐ You and Casper are ready to have sex.

‐ How did you know?

‐ A mother always knows.

Hulu recommended 40‐Year‐Old Virgin
and Wet Hot American Summer.

‐ Damn algorithms.

‐ Listen, you shouldn't feel pressured
to do this if you don't want to.

‐ Okay, I know that,

but... I want to.

‐ Okay.

What have you two explored so far?

Kissing?

Probably kissing.

But like anywhere...

other than the mouth?

‐ Oh.

Um...

No, but I haven't seen him
since last year's STEM, so...

‐ Okay.

‐ God, I can't be bad at this.

‐ This is not the time
to be a perfectionist.

Sex is supposed to be messy.

It's fun.

I'm gonna blow.

AVERY: How was I supposed to get
great at sex by STEMCON?

The thing is, Larson was right.

I don't do things I'm not great at.

I just have to master it,
like everything else in my life.

Avery Hansen‐White can do
anything she puts her mind to.

♪

[softly] "Get good at sex."

That's it.

Utilizing AI, I could create an algorithm
that would take the data

and prescribe steps
for a successful sexual experience.

I... I'd have my app and be prepared
for STEM night with Casper.

This was a win‐win.

My app would have a dictation feature,

so I programmed the AI
to sound like the sexiest of voices.

SPOCK‐LIKE VOICE: Greetings.
Dictation feature is ready.

AVERY: Spock, of course.

I trained Spock to scan
all corners of the Web

for information regarding sex.

Spock, how does one have good sex?

SPOCK: Based on current data,
good sex is achieved by

butt plug, choking, stepmom, dick out...

‐ Ow!
SPOCK: ...naughty gorilla,

squirting, yoga pants‐‐

AVERY:
I needed to refine the search.

What better resource to turn to

than the collective
high‐school wisdom of the ages?

MAN: Like this!
[audience laughing, gasping]

‐ So this is what people watch.

SPOCK: Based on available data,
good sex is achieved by boobs, flashing...

MAMA SUZE: Everything okay in there?
‐ What? No, everything's fine.

SPOCK: ...boobs, kegger, pie...

AVERY: Apparently Hollywood
was not the best source either.

I hated to do it,
but I have to revisit sex ed.

‐ Mycoplasma, genitaliums,
the new chlamydia.

May I help you, Ms. Hansen‐White?

‐ I'm collecting sources in preparation
for losing my virginity.

‐ Oh.

SPOCK: G‐spot, premarital sex,
burn in hell...

‐ I know it's not in the manual,

but I could use a little tutorial
on the mechanics of the clitoris.

‐ I cannot tell you
how to pleasure yourself.

Ask your parents.
You have three months.

AVERY:
Clearly sex ed wasn't the answer.

I was back to the drawing board.

What would I tell Casper?
[phone buzzing]

I had made no progress.

Research was consuming my life.

The rest of my studies
were starting to slip.

I know you're new here,
so perhaps you didn't find value

in my argument that Romeo and Juliet
had total control over their tragic fate

and rather chose to weaken themselves
to adolescent impulse.

SPOCK: Booty, butt cheeks...

‐ Logic is the beginning of wisdom,
not the end.

‐ Yeah, I...

get that you were quoting Spock.

SPOCK: Slap my ass!

‐ And it's clear that you
understood the text,

but you missed that fundamental thing.

to Google hang,

and all I can think about is,
what does his penis look like?

I mean, normal to think that.

if his penis is normal.

You know what, how about a book?

I might have a copy
of Fifty Shades of Grey.

your friends for advice?

anything about boys.

wouldn't be any help.

I should be collecting data
from my fellow students.

‐ Well, I'm glad I couldn't help.
[school bell rings]

AVERY: Prompted by absolutely
nothing Mama Suze said,

I decided the best course of action

was to crowd‐source
the necessary intel from my peers.

‐ Do you consent to the recording
of this conversation for the purpose
of data collection?

‐ Um... sure, why not?

‐ You see, chicks like
their asses slapped.

And if they're making lots of noise,
you know they're super into it.

‐ The louder they are,
the more they want it.

‐ Um, I haven't had sex yet.

‐ But cheerleaders are the most
sexually exploited of all the sports,

and therefore the most common object
of pursuit for your male classmates.

How are you not getting laid all the time?

‐ I'm not discussing anything
of a sexual nature,

but by saying the word "sexual" just now,
I did not mean to imply anything sexual.

‐ Sex just isn't a priority for me.

‐ Is that like code for "super Christian"?

‐ No, and despite what you've seen on TV,
we're not ruled by our libidos.

‐ Now my fave go‐to is the titty fuck.

she actually had a preference
on length and girth.

4‐and‐one‐quarter centimeters in diameter.

That's about half a centimeter
larger than my vaginal canal

which is at a hotel where we're
going to be staying in hotel rooms,

and he's gonna wanna do sex stuff,

and, you know, I've never done it
and I don't want to embarrass myself,

so, I need someone to practice with
in a safe and exploratory environment,

and since you and I have a history
of experimentation

and scientific rapport, I chose you.

‐ Ah! Thank you.

‐ Yeah, you're welcome.

Where are you...
Where are you going?

Could you slow down, please?

Okay, these are the things I need
to try and/or get better at.

Kissing, fondling, hand jobs,
blow jobs, fingering.

I wrote "butt stuff"
but then I crossed that out,

dry humping and, hey,
that sounds like...

‐ Whoa, whoa, hey, slow down!

Seriously?

You fired me when I even got
remotely close to you.

‐ Oh! You Afterschool Special' d me.

‐ I was 14 and I was trying to kiss you.

‐ By groping me!

‐ I grazed your boob, it's a move,

one I admit I executed poorly,
but I was nervous.

It was my first almost kiss

and you friend zone'd the shit out of me.

So hard! You sent me to friend jail.

‐ Well, I'm letting you out on parole

if you return to your position
as my test subject in this venture.

‐ How is this not cheating
on your boyfriend?

‐ No, I looked into it.

This arrangement,
it's actually quite common.

And let's be real,
how can I be exclusive

with someone I've never
done anything with?

So as long as we don't have sex
and there's no intimate feelings,

it's fair play.

‐ Technically it's foreplay.

‐ That's bad.
‐ Yeah.

So?

‐ I can't sexualize you.

I respect you too much for your brain,

for your independence, for...

My God.
‐ Oh.

cinematic tactic across genres.

But, I‐I... no.

I'm 90% sure.

I'm laying track to ask her
to prom right now,

and I really can't have anything
throwing a wrench in that plan.

Countless features
and mutually beneficial.

I mean, if cute girl
ever fully looks at you,

you wanna be ready on prom night, right?

‐ Please don't blow this for me.

‐ Technically I'll be blowing you.
‐ Avery!

‐ Okay, your house, tomorrow, 3 p. m.

Study that.

[school bell rings]

‐ Why is "butt stuff"
before "dry humping"?

‐ You know, so we'll follow the same
protocol as all our other experiments.

And all the data will go straight
into the development of the AI,

which I'll use to conceptualize my app,

and then I've secured
my presentation for the challenge

and prepared myself for STEM night,

which, mind you, is in just 23 days.

Questions?
‐ You sure you want to do this?

For Casper?

‐ For me.

I may be a genius, but I imagine

I'll enjoy sex as much as
any other young adult.

‐ Okay then.

Yeah, you seem to have mapped this
all out quite thoroughly.

‐ Obviously.

So, our objective is
to master sexual excellence

by putting research
and physical skill into practice.

‐ How?

‐ Crowd sourcing
and simulating that information.

‐ Cool. So I'm a simulator.

Do I come with VR
or time travel capabilities?

‐ Simulation can involve real people.

‐ So I'm glad I'm a real person
as opposed to a non‐real person.

Are you a real person?
‐ Of course.

Just with an advanced operating system.

‐ I have a hypothesis for our experiment.

‐ Hmm.
‐ Love is what makes a good lover.

‐ Oh, well, I can already disprove that.

AVERY:
It was just like our other experiments,

so why did this somehow seem different?

Hmm.

Trial one, kissing,
and trial two, fondling,

were both successful entrées
into foreplay,

but trial three would first require
extensive intel

on assorted dick stuff.

So, what's your penis like?

‐ Real thick.
‐ Long Dong Silver.

‐ No, uh, what does it like?

‐ A blow job. A blow job.

'Cause you can't pull that off yourself.
I've tried.

‐ Icy hot. [snarls]

‐ To be spoken to like a sad little boy
who accidentally ruined Christmas.

AVERY: What?
‐ The fuck?

‐ What?

‐ If you wanna become
a dick‐sucking artist...

‐ You've gotta have
a strong hold on the base.

‐ This part, sensitive.

‐ A penis Picockso,
a Bonet, a Frida Cocklo.

‐ Then with the other hand,

you come up gently over the top.

‐ It's all about the tip.

‐ This is where it gets good.
[splatters]

Voilà!
‐ Pfft! Eww!

‐ No guy is splooging in my mouth.

Or on my face.

‐ Oh, that's hot.

‐ Why are we expected to act
like a dude's sperm

is some sugary sweet nectar
from the gods?

There's a reason they call it junk.

‐ It's not junk, it's something
my body works hard to produce.

‐ Thoughts on cradling?

‐ I do not consent to this conversation.

‐ Hey, let's say I successfully
perform oral to the point of ejaculation.

Am I expected to swallow the discharge?

‐ Okay.
[door clatters]

AVERY:
The more the data kept pointing to it,

the more I couldn't stop
thinking about "it."

I was seeing them everywhere.

to desensitize you.

‐ And she's the perfect source, too,
because she's never been with a man.

‐ The gold star is a badge I proudly wear.

‐ Okay, there's a diversity of options.

You've got your lefties, your righties,
your straight shooters, your curvatures,

and there are some
really veiny ones out there, Avery,

just... keep that in mind.

‐ Are you some secret dick wizard, Kim?

‐ I saw a few in college.

Terrifying skin pickles, but you gotta
try things to know what you want.

Or don't want.

‐ Cool. I'll just be at Hometown Buffet
sampling the local beef.

‐ Okay, just remember, no matter the size,
it's the biggest you've ever seen.

‐ Oh, the fragile male ego.

Women don't measure
the size of their pussy.

this is what we've been training for.

[gasps] Oh, my God.
What are you watching?

WOMAN ON TV: Ride 'em, cowboy!
‐ Oh, it's just... it was just on TV.

‐ Uh, that's not TV, that's porn.

‐ Now, how come a penis on screen
is considered porn,

but breasts aren't?

‐ Interesting.
Well, I don't know.

Maybe 'cause breasts aren't
ramming some chick in the ass.

‐ Language.

‐ This has Ma Deb written all over it.

‐ I told her this was a bit much.

‐ This is why I can't
tell you guys anything.

‐ You are right, this is, yecch!

Actually, I don't...
I really don't like this kind of porn.

I prefer a little softer.

Mostly cuddling.

And sharing feelings.

Actually, I think I just like
documentaries.

‐ Do not condone this.
‐ Mm‐hmm.

‐ Learning how to have sex
by watching porn

is like learning how to drive
by watching Fast and the Furious.

‐ Wait, wait, where are you going?
I thought I was going to return the favor.

‐ Why? We achieved foreplay.

‐ Yeah, for me.

But getting a guy off
isn't rocket science.

It's only a successful mission
if we both enjoy it.

‐ I had a great time.

‐ No, I mean, I want to get you off too.

I mean, that's sort of how you know
it went well, if we both do, right?

AVERY:
Larson knew what he liked, but I didn't.

‐ Tactics?

Frank?

‐ There's a common misconception
that most women climax
from penetrative sex,

but statistics show
that 75% of women

can't achieve orgasm
from penetration alone.

Stimulating the clitoris
and other erogenous zones is key.

‐ Damn.

‐ And how does one locate said e‐zones?

‐ My cousin said that it's best to think
of your body like a game of Twister

and eventually you'll find the spot.

‐ Avery, look at me.
Your body is a Costco, okay?

You're trying
all these different samples, right?

You're trying all these different samples.
Oop! Uh‐oh. You found the one.

‐ Okay, but where
are the sample booths located?

‐ Avery, I cannot tell you everything.
Jesus.

‐ If I may, the G depends
largely on the individual,

of other erogenous zones

that occur across genders
and sexual preferences,

including toes, neck, ear, butt,
behind the knees, elbows.

sexual achievement.

My first orgasm.

EMCEE: Now, welcome to the stage
our reigning champion,

sure to dazzle us yet again,

Ms. Avery Hansen‐White!

[cheering]

STUDENT: We love you, Avery!

AVERY: How was I going to sell an app
to an entire room of people

when I knew it didn't work?

I was terrified that my first
sexual encounter would be a failure.

We've all been there, am I right?

[audience silent]

[scattered murmuring]

What if you could erase
all that fear of failure

from your first time
with a sexual partner?

What if there was an app
designed to prepare its user

for a mutually appealing
and successful experience?

♪

Imagine if you had Sex Appeal.

[murmuring continues]

I'm really sorry, um...

I withdraw my, my presentation.

I... Thank you.

[confused murmuring]

EMCEE: Ms. Hansen‐White?

[applause]
‐ Thank you so much. Thanks.

GIRL: Thank you.

‐ Thank you.
‐ Thank you. Thank you.

[applause continues]

‐ All that build‐up, you know,
all the anticipation,

and it wasn't really anything.

And, you know, given that it was
technically a milestone event,

it was so uneventful.

[scoffs] And I don't know,

I thought I'd feel...

different?

‐ Well, maybe that's the problem, Avery.

You don't seem to feel anything.

Or care about anyone.

‐ What?

That's not true.
I mean, I care about you.

‐ Right.

Okay, well, I have homework, so...

‐ Cool. I'll do it for you,
and then we can hang.

‐ I can't do that with you, Avery.
‐ Why not?

‐ Do you actually think
I'm into bioluminescence?

‐ I mean, I'm guessing you're not
for the sake of your argument,

but... everyone should be.

‐ Well, they're not.

Avery, let me explain something to you.

I have always cared about you.

That boob graze, I...

I was an idiot 14‐year‐old getting advice
from other idiot 14‐year‐olds

who told me if I wanted to be
more than friends with you,

I needed to make a move.

So I did.

And you rejected me, and that's fine.

But I spent the next three years
trying really hard to move on.

And I finally did.

But then you suck me back in
with this thing that I didn't want to do

and here I am again.

And I'm done.

I'm done waiting for the moment
where you...

change your mind about me.

About us.

‐ Us?

I mean, Larson, I'm moving
to Massachusetts in the fall,

so it just wouldn't be practical.

‐ Practical? Jesus, Avery!
What about emotional, huh?

‐ Okay, well, you do seem
to be getting a little emotional.

‐ Yeah... You know what?

You... you're right.

I have no place to be upset.

This grew for me.

It didn't grow for you, and that...

that just sucks.

‐ Well, I never said
that it didn't grow for me.

‐ Do you have feelings for me?

‐ I mean, I...

‐ You...?

‐ I mean...

‐ Come on, Avery,
you always have an answer.

‐ Yeah, well, I wanna have
the right answer.

I...

‐ I don't wanna be
your guinea pig anymore.

‐ Hey, you're not.

‐ Really?

Then why do you always ask
to experiment on me and never with me?

‐ Larson... hang on.

We both were practicing...

‐ For you, Avery!

‐ We both agreed to everything.

Are you upset that I slept
with Casper instead of you?

‐ No.

No, I'm glad we didn't.

Because I'm waiting to be
with someone who cares about me

as much as I care about them.

So... it would have been a big mistake.

AVERY:
Maybe Larson was right.

Maybe I should have considered
his hypothesis

that love and sex were intertwined.

Was that the missing data?

Had I disregarded
a crucial piece of intel?

‐ The best part about sex
is for sure the love.

‐ There is no greater feeling.

It's beyond a physical feeling.

‐ The idea that you could be
completely naked with someone

and be totally comfortable, that's...

that's incredible.

That's like next level trust.

‐ You just want to spend
every second with them,

want to share everything with them.

If you lose them...

‐ If that trust is broken...

‐ The emptiness, it's...

suffocating.

‐ My ex broke up with me over text, and...

he didn't even give me a reason.

‐ Best way to get over someone
is to get under someone else.

Doesn't really work like that.

‐ When Melissa Delazzo started sitting
with Dwayne on the bus instead of me...

it was like I lost the rudder
to the ship of myself.

‐ To quote T. Swift, "I never heard
a silence quite this loud."

[sobbing]
‐ I know.

Just... please.

‐ Feelings.

You can't control shit.

‐ Rejection can have you shattered
into a million pieces.

‐ All of a sudden,
you're reaching out for this person

who was always there before,
but now they're gone.

‐ Truth is, you don't... you don't
just lose a piece of your heart,

you lose...

you lose your best friend.

‐ Hey, hon, how are you feeling?

‐ Fine. Shut the door.

MAMA SUZE: Are you su...

Need to just talk a little? Okay.
‐ Shut the door. Nope. Nope.

‐ What are you feeling?
Name your feelings by name.

‐ Shut the door!

MAMA SUZE: I told you
she's not gonna talk to you.
‐ Please!

[Avery groans]

MAMA SUZE: Get in there! Go!
AVERY: Oh, my...

‐ Oh, yay, it's my turn.

‐ [whines] Maternal figures multiplying.

‐ I know.

Go easy on me.

Look, I...

I'm here for you,

and I'm just gonna sit here
till you ask me to leave.

‐ I lost...

‐ STEMCON?

‐ That too, I guess.

‐ Oh, your virginity.

‐ Hmm, that too.

No, that's not what I mean.
‐ Oh, shit. What else did you lose?

‐ The only real friend I've ever had.

‐ Oh.

So that means they lost someone
special to them too.

‐ I hadn't considered that.

‐ Yeah, that's the thing
with friendship or sex.

‐ You may continue.

‐ Yeah, so the key
to a good friendship or good sex

is, um, it's about giving, not taking.

So luckily, like sex,
friendship is something

that you can get better at
with practice.

‐ That lands.

Good job, Kim.

‐ Cool.

[sighs] Glad I could help.

This teen crisis has been so stressful.

Okay, good.

‐ What did she say?
Tell her to name her feelings and...

‐ Oh, my God.
‐ Don't ask me to name my feelings.

‐ Okay.

But...

he probably needs to know how you feel.

So...

when you know, you should tell him.

‐ Like I gotta go get the guy?

‐ Yeah. And speak from the heart.

It's the best way back into his.

Okay.

I don't know why I did that. Okay.

I did it.
MAMA SUZE: That went great!

MA DEB: Yay!

‐ Ahem. Excuse me. So sorry.

Larson, your hypothesis was correct.

Love and sex are absolutely intertwined.

I've got an answer for you.

[Burl Ives singing
What Child is This?]

My answer is that there is no answer.

There is no answer because
this isn't math or physics

or some kind of equation.

We got into this
under the pretense of an experiment,

and you're right, it evolved
into something much more.

Larson, it's not that I don't

Okay?

Look, I... I do.

I feel more than I've ever felt
for a person, and...

if I had known that I was hurting you,
I never would have‐‐

But it wasn't for nothing.

Because I learned how much
I truly care about you.

‐ Avery, you were right.

You're the crocodile.

But the crocodile can live alone
in that swamp.

And that is okay.

'Cause we need people like you
who are gonna change that swamp

with their achievements
and discoveries and...

but we need birds like me
who are gonna love them

But for that symbiosis
to work in the world...

the bird really needs
to go fly with other birds.

AVERY: Larson, wait!

Go to prom with me.

‐ [scoffs] What?
‐ Yeah. Let's go to prom.

‐ No.

‐ Why?

‐ You said it yourself, it's just a bunch
of overhyped, superfluous‐‐

‐ No, you were right, okay?

We never did any
of the fun high school stuff.

[sniffles]

‐ What are you doing here?

‐ I come up here every day
to cry and smoke.

Why are you in my spot?

Oh, shit.

All right.

Talk to me.

AVERY: I told her everything,
about the sexperiments,

failing STEMCON,
realizing I love Larson.

I messed up.

I was so focused on doing things right...

that I didn't...

I didn't realize that I was hurting him.
I failed him.

‐ Didn't Einstein fail a bunch of times
before he got it right?

‐ That is an exhausted anecdote,
overused by underachievers.

‐ You kids are overly worried
about getting good at the sex stuff.

That's the easy part.

It's the relationship that takes practice.

‐ How much practice?

Because I don't think I ever want
to feel like this again.

‐ All right, if your heart hurts,
your heart works.

You got one rep in, it'll be easier
to go there next time.

‐ Next time?

‐ Yeah.
‐ But what about Larson?

Is there any saving of friendship
that went beyond friendship?

‐ Sometimes.

And sometimes a person or friendship
is just part of the journey

to figuring your own shit out.

‐ Thank you.

‐ Yeah.

He's incredible.

Sorry, uh...

I... I just... I regraded my paper.

Um... you gave me an 89
and I deserved...

‐ An A‐plus?

Avery, I'm a massive Trekkie.

None of the references were lost on me.

I just didn't find them relevant
in an essay about...

love.

Wow. That's a B.

That's a big ugly B regular.

‐ While those references were spot‐on...

I missed the point.

You can't calculate for love.

You can only experience as much love
as you're willing to give.

That's the real choice.

I didn't get that, so...

I concede.

I don't deserve an A.

‐ That's very mature of you, Avery.

‐ Well, I am a woman now.

[muffled laughter]

Not because I popped my cherry.

Relax.

It's, I just...

learned that sometimes
you have to fail to grow.

‐ Well, you didn't fail.
I mean, that's a B.

And your grade won't be compromised
