00:00:00,224 --> 00:00:02,892
Previously on <i>Awkward...</i>

2
00:00:03,929 --> 00:00:05,328
I fucked your girlfriend.

3
00:00:05,330 --> 00:00:06,329
Everyone is talking about you.

4
00:00:06,331 --> 00:00:07,363
Your secret blog--

5
00:00:07,365 --> 00:00:09,131
Not so secret anymore.

6
00:00:09,133 --> 00:00:10,633
You humiliated me.

7
00:00:11,870 --> 00:00:13,703
Jenna Hamilton
tried to kill herself!

8
00:00:13,705 --> 00:00:14,637
Again!

9
00:00:16,173 --> 00:00:17,974
I was dead.

10
00:00:17,976 --> 00:00:19,709
Metaphorically speaking.

11
00:00:19,711 --> 00:00:22,445
Like Sylvia Plath,
I'd taken my own life.

12
00:00:22,447 --> 00:00:25,247
Except while hers
ended in an oven,

13
00:00:25,249 --> 00:00:26,950
mine ended on the internet.

14
00:00:26,952 --> 00:00:29,418
My blog was no longer
a safe haven,

15
00:00:29,420 --> 00:00:31,721
so there was only one way
I could take refuge

16
00:00:31,723 --> 00:00:34,023
from the internal slaughter
in my head.

17
00:00:34,025 --> 00:00:36,893
I had to put pen to paper.

18
00:00:36,895 --> 00:00:39,261
Turns out, releasing
my blog to the public

19
00:00:39,263 --> 00:00:41,397
was not the answer
to my problems.

20
00:00:41,399 --> 00:00:43,232
Once again, I was a pariah.

21
00:00:43,234 --> 00:00:45,234
And even though
I hadn't forgiven

22
00:00:45,236 --> 00:00:46,803
my mom for writing the letter,

23
00:00:46,805 --> 00:00:48,771
she was wise to my guilt trips.

24
00:00:48,773 --> 00:00:50,707
So I couldn't expect
she would let me stay home,

25
00:00:50,709 --> 00:00:53,275
which meant I had to ensure it.

26
00:00:56,981 --> 00:01:00,950
Mom, I have a fever!

27
00:01:03,353 --> 00:01:06,222
My hand wasn't the only thing
getting hot and bothered.

28
00:01:07,859 --> 00:01:10,026
My mom was too.

29
00:01:10,028 --> 00:01:12,695
Suddenly I didn't need
to play sick anymore.

30
00:01:12,697 --> 00:01:14,864
I was sick,
and I needed to escape

31
00:01:14,866 --> 00:01:18,568
before I was confronted
with what I expected to see--

32
00:01:18,570 --> 00:01:23,139
My mother with a...

33
00:01:23,141 --> 00:01:24,306
Dad?

34
00:01:24,307 --> 00:01:27,007

35
00:01:29,847 --> 00:01:31,480
How are you feeling?

36
00:01:31,482 --> 00:01:33,582
- Uncomfortable.
- Understandable.

37
00:01:33,584 --> 00:01:35,584
It's probably a little shocking

38
00:01:35,586 --> 00:01:36,819
to see us together.

39
00:01:36,821 --> 00:01:38,821
Seeing you together,
not so shocking.

40
00:01:38,823 --> 00:01:41,958
It's more of where and how.

41
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:43,159
Mm-hmm.

44
00:01:46,264 --> 00:01:47,563
Your boobs.

45
00:01:47,565 --> 00:01:49,798
Might want to belt up.

46
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,101
I thought you were
dating Hannah.

47
00:01:52,103 --> 00:01:53,236
So did I.

48
00:01:53,238 --> 00:01:54,703
I wasn't.

49
00:01:54,705 --> 00:01:56,739
Which is why I came over
to clear things up.

50
00:01:56,741 --> 00:02:00,376
And you did.

51
00:02:00,378 --> 00:02:03,279
Are you guys back together?

52
00:02:03,281 --> 00:02:05,714
We're working it out.

53
00:02:05,716 --> 00:02:08,985
Right, there's still
work to do.

54
00:02:08,987 --> 00:02:11,888
And if that work was gonna
happen in the house,

55
00:02:11,890 --> 00:02:13,822
I had to vacate the premises.

56
00:02:13,824 --> 00:02:17,960
Right, well, I am feeling
much better now,

57
00:02:17,962 --> 00:02:19,728
so I'm gonna head to school.

58
00:02:19,730 --> 00:02:21,931
- Well, let me get dressed.
- She can drive herself.

59
00:02:21,933 --> 00:02:23,432
She is not driving
the slut-wagon.

60
00:02:23,434 --> 00:02:25,301
The thing will only
bring her negative attention.

61
00:02:25,303 --> 00:02:26,802
Car or no car,

62
00:02:26,804 --> 00:02:29,505
negative attention
was about the only attention

63
00:02:29,507 --> 00:02:31,874
I could expect.

64
00:02:33,543 --> 00:02:36,478
You sure you're feeling okay?

65
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:37,646
You don't look so good.

66
00:02:37,648 --> 00:02:39,015
I'm fine.

67
00:02:39,017 --> 00:02:40,749
I wasn't, but how
do you tell your mom

68
00:02:40,751 --> 00:02:42,118
you're about to walk into
a public lynching?

69
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,252
Really?

70
00:02:43,254 --> 00:02:45,054
Well, there are
a couple small things

71
00:02:45,056 --> 00:02:46,755
that happened recently
which are making me

72
00:02:46,757 --> 00:02:48,724
a wee bit apprehensive.

73
00:02:48,726 --> 00:02:50,759
- Bitch!
- Like that.

74
00:02:50,761 --> 00:02:52,194
Don't call my daughter a bitch!

75
00:02:52,196 --> 00:02:54,630
Not her, you.

76
00:02:56,934 --> 00:02:58,267
What's going on?

77
00:02:58,269 --> 00:02:59,635
So Jake broke up with me

78
00:02:59,637 --> 00:03:00,869
and then caught me
making out with Matty,

79
00:03:00,871 --> 00:03:02,171
which shouldn't
have been a thing,

80
00:03:02,173 --> 00:03:04,040
'cause I was
technically single,

81
00:03:04,042 --> 00:03:05,707
but he thinks I'm a cheater
because he didn't know

82
00:03:05,709 --> 00:03:07,109
that I was with Matty
before I was with him,

83
00:03:07,111 --> 00:03:08,877
so he thought that we
were seeing each other

84
00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:10,579
while I was seeing him,
that "him" being Jake.

85
00:03:10,581 --> 00:03:11,613
Following?

86
00:03:11,615 --> 00:03:12,881
So I exposed my blog

87
00:03:12,883 --> 00:03:14,583
and basically
everything about myself,

88
00:03:14,585 --> 00:03:16,218
and I didn't realize that there
would be collateral damage,

89
00:03:16,220 --> 00:03:18,554
which I guess sort of
definitely involves you

90
00:03:18,556 --> 00:03:22,058
and the letter.

91
00:03:22,060 --> 00:03:25,428
Everyone knows
I wrote the letter?

92
00:03:25,430 --> 00:03:27,964
You're disgusting.

93
00:03:27,966 --> 00:03:29,798
I know it seems
like I did this on purpose

94
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,667
because things aren't
resolved between us.

95
00:03:31,669 --> 00:03:33,669
I didn't mean to hurt you.

96
00:03:33,671 --> 00:03:36,872
Have a nice day, honey.

97
00:03:44,114 --> 00:03:45,348
We need to talk.

98
00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:46,782
I can't.
Not now.

99
00:03:46,784 --> 00:03:48,917
Please, let me say my piece.

100
00:03:48,919 --> 00:03:51,387
Writing that letter
to Jenna was terrible.

101
00:03:51,389 --> 00:03:52,921
- Agreed.
- And cruel.

102
00:03:52,923 --> 00:03:54,991
- I get it.
- No, you don't.

103
00:03:54,993 --> 00:03:57,994
But I do, because despite
how together I may seem

104
00:03:57,996 --> 00:03:59,728
I was once a misfit too.

105
00:03:59,730 --> 00:04:01,897
Yeah, I know
it's hard to believe,

106
00:04:01,899 --> 00:04:03,332
but things weren't always
smooth sailing

107
00:04:03,334 --> 00:04:04,666
for this old kimosabe.

108
00:04:04,668 --> 00:04:07,936
And do you know who always
lifted me up?

109
00:04:07,938 --> 00:04:09,838
- Your mother.
- That's right.

110
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,974
And let me tell you,
I was pretty heavy back then.

111
00:04:11,976 --> 00:04:14,076
I had a tendency
to eat my feelings,

112
00:04:14,078 --> 00:04:17,613
but no matter how heavy my load

113
00:04:17,615 --> 00:04:18,947
or my ass,

114
00:04:18,949 --> 00:04:20,582
my mother could always
lighten it

115
00:04:20,584 --> 00:04:22,551
with her unconditional love

116
00:04:22,553 --> 00:04:24,887
because that is
what good mothers do.

117
00:04:24,889 --> 00:04:28,290
They love their kids.
They don't tear them down.

118
00:04:28,292 --> 00:04:31,560
L-Dawg, I really expected

119
00:04:31,562 --> 00:04:33,562
we were on the road
to being besties,

120
00:04:33,564 --> 00:04:36,165
but now I--

121
00:04:36,167 --> 00:04:39,035
I don't think I can
even be your friend.

122
00:04:46,777 --> 00:04:48,411
What kinda day
are we looking at,

123
00:04:48,413 --> 00:04:49,778
lunch in the bathroom?

124
00:04:49,780 --> 00:04:51,347
Nope, I'm clear
for quad exposure.

125
00:04:51,349 --> 00:04:53,849
I'm back in
with the mafia, big time.

126
00:04:53,851 --> 00:04:56,552
They got my parents
to buy me a car.

127
00:04:56,554 --> 00:04:58,320
You're kidding.
Why?

128
00:04:58,322 --> 00:04:59,621
It's a peace offering.

129
00:04:59,623 --> 00:05:01,490
Becca's scared shitless of you,

130
00:05:01,492 --> 00:05:02,858
and by proxy, now me.

131
00:05:02,860 --> 00:05:04,493
Why is she scared of me?

132
00:05:04,495 --> 00:05:05,994
'Cause putting yourself up
for public consumption

133
00:05:05,996 --> 00:05:07,696
is, like, batshizat on crack.

134
00:05:07,698 --> 00:05:10,399
You're the scariest kind
of loose cannon, Jenna.

135
00:05:10,401 --> 00:05:11,733
You're a suicide bomber.

136
00:05:11,735 --> 00:05:12,868
I wasn't trying
to blow myself up.

137
00:05:12,870 --> 00:05:14,270
Motive doesn't matter

138
00:05:14,272 --> 00:05:15,671
but mission accomplished.

139
00:05:15,673 --> 00:05:18,006
Your social suicide
scared everyone silent.

140
00:05:18,008 --> 00:05:20,876
I assumed it was merely
the calm before the storm,

141
00:05:20,878 --> 00:05:24,080
and as such I was
battening down the hatches.

142
00:05:24,082 --> 00:05:26,648
Watch it!

143
00:05:26,650 --> 00:05:28,284
- Jenna.
- Sorry, Julie.

144
00:05:28,286 --> 00:05:29,952
Julie.

145
00:05:29,954 --> 00:05:32,321
I had hit the hornets nest--
The Julies.

146
00:05:32,323 --> 00:05:33,889
They were power brokers,

147
00:05:33,891 --> 00:05:36,459
the kind of girls who could
make or break a reputation

148
00:05:36,461 --> 00:05:38,894
with a simple smile or a smirk.

149
00:05:38,896 --> 00:05:40,463
Nobody wanted
to mess with them,

150
00:05:40,465 --> 00:05:43,099
and I definitely didn't want
them to mess with me.

151
00:05:43,101 --> 00:05:45,267
- What you did was ballsy.
- And psychotic.

152
00:05:45,269 --> 00:05:46,702
It was a mistake.

153
00:05:46,704 --> 00:05:48,604
No, the mistake was ditching
Matty for Jake.

154
00:05:48,606 --> 00:05:50,139
Team Jake all the way!

155
00:05:50,141 --> 00:05:52,308
Seriously, when Matty
showed up at the dance,

156
00:05:52,310 --> 00:05:53,709
total panty drop.

157
00:05:53,711 --> 00:05:54,910
Forget you.

158
00:05:54,912 --> 00:05:56,278
Nothing trumps
the bit with Jake

159
00:05:56,280 --> 00:05:57,713
when he decked out
his mom's minivan.

160
00:05:57,715 --> 00:05:59,815
It wasn't really a bit.

161
00:05:59,817 --> 00:06:01,383
That actually happened.

162
00:06:01,385 --> 00:06:04,120
Whatever.
I just loved it.

163
00:06:04,122 --> 00:06:05,387
Anyhoo, gotta go.

164
00:06:05,389 --> 00:06:07,156
Back-up pants a-calling.

165
00:06:09,392 --> 00:06:11,527
That was strange.

166
00:06:11,529 --> 00:06:12,728
And unexpected.

167
00:06:12,730 --> 00:06:13,929
She just said
"back-up pants."

168
00:06:13,931 --> 00:06:15,197
That was her quoting you
quoting me.

169
00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:17,766
Do you realize
what just happened?

170
00:06:17,768 --> 00:06:19,935
You've just been bitch-backed
by the Julies.

171
00:06:19,937 --> 00:06:21,670
- Okay.
- You don't get it.

172
00:06:21,672 --> 00:06:23,005
You're, like,
a small cable show.

173
00:06:23,007 --> 00:06:24,673
You may not have
a budget or marketing,

174
00:06:24,675 --> 00:06:26,142
but you're interesting

175
00:06:26,144 --> 00:06:27,676
and you're catching on
with the right peeps.

176
00:06:27,678 --> 00:06:29,845
Peeps that get you
and care what you think.

177
00:06:29,847 --> 00:06:31,280
Nobody cares what I think.

178
00:06:31,282 --> 00:06:33,282
But ironically, they did.

179
00:06:33,284 --> 00:06:34,716
I had fans.

180
00:06:34,718 --> 00:06:36,552
♪ And I don't know, know ♪

181
00:06:36,554 --> 00:06:39,622
♪ I don't know
what I can do for you ♪

182
00:06:39,624 --> 00:06:41,857
And they wanted
dating advice...

183
00:06:41,859 --> 00:06:44,527
Psst.

184
00:06:44,529 --> 00:06:47,396
Fashion tips...

185
00:06:48,766 --> 00:06:51,200
And a teenage perspective.

186
00:06:51,202 --> 00:06:54,136
Suddenly everyone needed
my opinion on their life

187
00:06:54,138 --> 00:06:55,437
and to weigh in on mine.

188
00:06:55,439 --> 00:06:57,339
It was overwhelming

189
00:06:57,341 --> 00:06:58,674
and exhilarating.

190
00:06:58,676 --> 00:07:00,643
I was a tastemaker.

191
00:07:01,045 --> 00:07:05,513
Ugh, how is the hamil-troll's
star rising while mine falls?

192
00:07:05,515 --> 00:07:07,315
The bitch
really crossed the line

193
00:07:07,317 --> 00:07:09,217
exposing my relationship
with Ricky.

194
00:07:09,219 --> 00:07:10,619
I call shenanigans.

195
00:07:10,621 --> 00:07:12,120
She didn't ho and tell.

196
00:07:12,122 --> 00:07:13,689
Everyone already knew
about you and Ricky.

197
00:07:13,691 --> 00:07:14,923
Ho and tell?

198
00:07:14,925 --> 00:07:16,257
Don't make me puke

199
00:07:16,259 --> 00:07:18,460
with that side-stooge's lingo.

200
00:07:18,462 --> 00:07:19,962
Look, I know Jenna's blog

201
00:07:19,964 --> 00:07:21,362
didn't paint you
in the best light.

202
00:07:21,364 --> 00:07:23,632
But you gotta give her credit.
She can spell.

203
00:07:23,634 --> 00:07:25,166
I'm not going
to give her credit

204
00:07:25,168 --> 00:07:27,803
for anything except
inducing my stress.

205
00:07:27,805 --> 00:07:31,006
She totally exaggerated
Ricky's past indiscretions

206
00:07:31,008 --> 00:07:32,540
on that retarded blog,

207
00:07:32,542 --> 00:07:35,376
which is why I now have
the worst breakout

208
00:07:35,378 --> 00:07:36,712
of my life.

209
00:07:36,714 --> 00:07:38,279
See?

210
00:07:38,281 --> 00:07:39,915
Tia!

211
00:07:39,917 --> 00:07:41,783
Please, stop with the slang

212
00:07:41,785 --> 00:07:44,419
or I'm gonna slap you.

213
00:07:44,421 --> 00:07:46,121
Why are you looking at me
like that?

214
00:07:46,123 --> 00:07:47,522
I don't think
you're breaking out.

215
00:07:47,524 --> 00:07:50,125
You've been making out.
That is a kiss blister.

216
00:07:50,127 --> 00:07:51,960
What the hell
is a kiss blister?

217
00:07:51,962 --> 00:07:54,630
Herpes.

218
00:07:54,632 --> 00:07:57,833
This is not that.

219
00:07:57,835 --> 00:08:00,301
It's a zit.

220
00:08:00,303 --> 00:08:01,937
Good luck with everything.

221
00:08:08,111 --> 00:08:09,811
You should say something.

222
00:08:09,813 --> 00:08:13,314
What is there to say
that hasn't already been said?

223
00:08:13,316 --> 00:08:14,482
Or read?

224
00:08:14,484 --> 00:08:15,450
Good point.

225
00:08:15,452 --> 00:08:17,585
With all
my newfound validation,

226
00:08:17,587 --> 00:08:19,420
I had almost forgotten

227
00:08:19,422 --> 00:08:21,256
the one opinion
that mattered most.

228
00:08:21,258 --> 00:08:23,158
Make that the two opinions.

229
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:24,559
Maybe it is
a good time to talk.

230
00:08:24,561 --> 00:08:26,427
'Cause my new
positive approval rating

231
00:08:26,429 --> 00:08:28,596
could be rubbing off
on them too.

232
00:08:28,598 --> 00:08:30,231
- Right?
- I don't know about them.

233
00:08:30,233 --> 00:08:32,100
But it's definitely
rubbing off on me.

234
00:08:32,102 --> 00:08:34,402
People have been rocking
my slanguage left and right.

235
00:08:34,404 --> 00:08:36,237
I've heard three Tamara "isms"

236
00:08:36,239 --> 00:08:37,572
in the first two periods alone.

237
00:08:37,574 --> 00:08:40,075
Although Amy Dube
doesn't really get

238
00:08:40,077 --> 00:08:43,611
that a "Fail Mary"
isn't a good thing.

239
00:08:43,613 --> 00:08:45,047
Go.
Talk to them.

240
00:08:45,049 --> 00:08:46,882
What's the worst
that could happen?

241
00:08:46,884 --> 00:08:48,516
They could spit in my face.

242
00:08:48,518 --> 00:08:50,986
They could, but they won't.

243
00:08:59,428 --> 00:09:01,797
Turns out
my great expectations,

244
00:09:01,799 --> 00:09:03,364
not so great.

245
00:09:10,478 --> 00:09:11,912
Hey, do you mind
if we switch seats?

246
00:09:11,914 --> 00:09:14,281
I do.
I'm not on your team.

247
00:09:14,283 --> 00:09:16,116
I am.
You could switch with me.

248
00:09:16,118 --> 00:09:20,020
Thanks, but my objective
is to get further from someone,

249
00:09:20,022 --> 00:09:21,054
not closer.

250
00:09:21,056 --> 00:09:23,524
- Can we trade?
- No.

251
00:09:23,526 --> 00:09:26,026
You're lame.
No wonder Jenna dumped you.

252
00:09:26,028 --> 00:09:28,128
All right, frenchies,

253
00:09:28,130 --> 00:09:31,331
Miss Kang had an emergency
and had to go home,

254
00:09:31,333 --> 00:09:34,668
probably 'cause she ate some
bad creme fraiche this morning.

255
00:09:34,670 --> 00:09:37,938
Some creme not-so-fraiche,
huh?

256
00:09:39,507 --> 00:09:41,007
<i>C'est la vie.</i>

257
00:09:41,009 --> 00:09:42,810
Well, I didn't have time
to call in a sub,

258
00:09:42,812 --> 00:09:44,478
so you're watching a movie.

259
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:45,979
It's called <i>Jules and Jim.</i>

260
00:09:45,981 --> 00:09:48,214
So in case you wanna tune out
and take a napster,

261
00:09:48,216 --> 00:09:49,750
here are the highlights.

262
00:09:49,752 --> 00:09:52,586
"Two best friends fall in love
with the same woman,

263
00:09:52,588 --> 00:09:54,788
who leaves the insecure one
for the passionate one,

264
00:09:54,790 --> 00:09:56,657
causing friction between them.

265
00:09:56,659 --> 00:09:59,125
Then the woman drives
one of them off a bridge."

266
00:09:59,127 --> 00:10:02,128
A stupid suicidal girl
comes in between two friends.

267
00:10:02,130 --> 00:10:03,764
That sounds familiar.

268
00:10:03,766 --> 00:10:06,333
Oh, it's just like
Jenna Hamilton's life.

269
00:10:06,335 --> 00:10:08,134
Except the movie is better

270
00:10:08,136 --> 00:10:11,404
because the girl actually dies.

271
00:10:11,406 --> 00:10:13,106
I hope you're taking notes,

272
00:10:13,108 --> 00:10:15,576
'cause Matty's
not in the wrong-- You are.

273
00:10:15,578 --> 00:10:16,944
Listen,
I appreciate your opinion,

274
00:10:16,946 --> 00:10:18,612
but you don't have
all the information.

275
00:10:18,614 --> 00:10:20,547
Actually, I do.
I read the blog.

276
00:10:20,549 --> 00:10:22,115
Good for you,
but there's no way

277
00:10:22,117 --> 00:10:24,585
a stupid movie's gonna
give me a new perspective.

278
00:10:24,587 --> 00:10:28,388
I'm never talking
to that asshole again.

279
00:10:34,496 --> 00:10:37,764
We should talk.

280
00:10:37,766 --> 00:10:40,200
Why didn't you just tell me
that the camp girl was Jenna?

281
00:10:40,202 --> 00:10:41,401
I don't know, man.

282
00:10:41,403 --> 00:10:42,803
I was still figuring it all out

283
00:10:42,805 --> 00:10:44,872
when suddenly
you were into her,

284
00:10:44,874 --> 00:10:46,940
and every time
I tried to tell you,

285
00:10:46,942 --> 00:10:48,274
it got more complicated.

286
00:10:48,276 --> 00:10:49,877
More complicated than this?

287
00:10:49,879 --> 00:10:52,746
Dude, I don't want our
friendship to go out this way.

288
00:10:52,748 --> 00:10:55,181
- Neither do I.
- So what do we do?

289
00:10:55,183 --> 00:10:56,583
We just move on.

290
00:10:56,585 --> 00:10:58,284
And we tell
each other the truth, okay?

291
00:10:58,286 --> 00:11:00,253
About everything.

292
00:11:00,255 --> 00:11:01,722
Yeah.
Good for me.

293
00:11:01,724 --> 00:11:03,790
Me too.

294
00:11:03,792 --> 00:11:04,625
Well...

295
00:11:04,627 --> 00:11:08,461
- So you should know--
- So you should know--

296
00:11:08,463 --> 00:11:11,932
- I still love Jenna.
- I still love Jenna.

297
00:11:14,670 --> 00:11:16,036
Can you help get me
somewhere safe

298
00:11:16,038 --> 00:11:17,103
and out of the spotlight?

299
00:11:17,105 --> 00:11:18,405
I got you, J.

300
00:11:18,407 --> 00:11:19,806
Back off, sycophants.

301
00:11:19,808 --> 00:11:21,542
Jenna doesn't have
all the answers.

302
00:11:21,544 --> 00:11:23,476
But you do have
all the answers.

303
00:11:23,478 --> 00:11:25,211
Have you read my blog?

304
00:11:25,213 --> 00:11:27,014
I don't.
My life is a mess.

305
00:11:27,016 --> 00:11:28,415
<i>Au contraire.</i>

306
00:11:28,417 --> 00:11:29,850
That's French for
"on the contrary."

307
00:11:29,852 --> 00:11:31,117
I gathered.

308
00:11:31,119 --> 00:11:32,886
Your life isn't a mess.
It's amazing.

309
00:11:32,888 --> 00:11:35,255
You have friends,
a bro-down,

310
00:11:35,257 --> 00:11:36,757
and a very nice way with words,

311
00:11:36,759 --> 00:11:39,426
which I know because I devoured
every last one of them,

312
00:11:39,428 --> 00:11:41,261
virtually speaking of course.

313
00:11:41,263 --> 00:11:42,629
Of course.

314
00:11:42,631 --> 00:11:44,297
So here's what I need to know.

315
00:11:44,299 --> 00:11:46,232
I was bracing myself.

316
00:11:46,234 --> 00:11:49,202
Will you help me
write my memoir?

317
00:11:50,739 --> 00:11:52,505
This is getting insane.
I'm not a role model.

318
00:11:52,507 --> 00:11:54,608
No, you're a Lifetime movie.

319
00:11:54,610 --> 00:11:57,811
Seriously, we should think
about adapting your blog.

320
00:11:57,813 --> 00:11:59,479
This isn't a movie,
this is my life,

321
00:11:59,481 --> 00:12:01,048
and I don't have
a remote to take control

322
00:12:01,050 --> 00:12:03,951
or delete the traumatic episodes
involving Matty and Jake.

323
00:12:03,953 --> 00:12:06,119
They're never gonna
talk to me again.

324
00:12:06,121 --> 00:12:07,888
That's so major!

325
00:12:07,890 --> 00:12:09,222
May-jer!

326
00:12:09,224 --> 00:12:10,724
May-jor!

327
00:12:12,860 --> 00:12:13,927
May-jer, may-jor.

328
00:12:13,929 --> 00:12:16,196
Lose the E and stress the O.

329
00:12:16,198 --> 00:12:17,664
Amazeballs.
And so are you.

330
00:12:17,666 --> 00:12:19,633
You really dodged a bullet
with that Ricky reject.

331
00:12:19,635 --> 00:12:22,069
Rumor has it he's rocking
some nasty STDs

332
00:12:22,071 --> 00:12:23,904
in his sex-cretins.

333
00:12:23,906 --> 00:12:25,005
Sex-cretions.

334
00:12:25,007 --> 00:12:26,740
But he is a cretin,
that's for sure.

335
00:12:27,743 --> 00:12:30,543
See, Jenna?
Nothing to worry about.

336
00:12:30,545 --> 00:12:32,479
You're on a positively
positive upswing.

337
00:12:32,481 --> 00:12:34,114
The boys are bound
to come around.

338
00:12:34,116 --> 00:12:35,582
No doubt.

339
00:12:35,584 --> 00:12:37,718
I mean, it's not like
you gave them herpes.

340
00:12:43,825 --> 00:12:45,391
Shit.

341
00:12:58,673 --> 00:13:00,707
Finally, the tide had turned,

342
00:13:00,709 --> 00:13:02,542
and I was about
to get the smackdown

343
00:13:02,544 --> 00:13:04,077
I had anticipated.

344
00:13:04,079 --> 00:13:07,447
Okay, here we go.

345
00:13:07,449 --> 00:13:09,683
Lay it on me.
I'm ready.

346
00:13:09,685 --> 00:13:13,086
We've decided not to let
a girl come between us.

347
00:13:13,088 --> 00:13:14,254
I understand.

348
00:13:14,256 --> 00:13:16,890
So you need to choose.

349
00:13:16,892 --> 00:13:19,893
Him or me.

350
00:13:19,895 --> 00:13:21,327
Team Jake!

351
00:13:22,865 --> 00:13:25,999
Team Jake!
Team Jake! Team Jake!

352
00:13:34,092 --> 00:13:35,692
I know.

353
00:13:35,694 --> 00:13:38,128
I know!
Just let me be!

354
00:13:38,130 --> 00:13:39,763
Mom?

355
00:13:39,765 --> 00:13:41,431
I'm home.

356
00:13:42,500 --> 00:13:44,534
- Please don't.
- Hello.

357
00:13:44,536 --> 00:13:47,738
I'm fine.

358
00:13:47,740 --> 00:13:51,574
My mother is not a monster.

359
00:13:51,576 --> 00:13:52,909
Has this been happening
all day?

360
00:13:52,911 --> 00:13:54,811
Honey, don't worry about it.

361
00:13:54,813 --> 00:13:56,246
How 'bout a snack?

362
00:13:56,248 --> 00:13:59,282
Apparently my stigma
hadn't disappeared.

363
00:13:59,284 --> 00:14:01,417
It transferred to my mother.

364
00:14:01,419 --> 00:14:03,153
Mom, I'm so sorry.

365
00:14:03,155 --> 00:14:05,722
You have nothing
to apologize for.

366
00:14:05,724 --> 00:14:06,957
I deserve this.

367
00:14:06,959 --> 00:14:08,792
This isn't tit for tat,
I swear.

368
00:14:08,794 --> 00:14:10,193
I know.

369
00:14:10,195 --> 00:14:11,895
Because even though
you haven't forgiven me,

370
00:14:11,897 --> 00:14:14,430
you have never been cruel.

371
00:14:14,432 --> 00:14:16,099
But I have.

372
00:14:16,101 --> 00:14:19,502
That letter was cruel.

373
00:14:19,504 --> 00:14:21,805
So why did you write it?

374
00:14:27,813 --> 00:14:29,045
The day I wrote it,

375
00:14:29,047 --> 00:14:31,014
my mother laid into me,

376
00:14:31,016 --> 00:14:33,950
telling me that I wasn't
raising you right.

377
00:14:33,952 --> 00:14:37,220
And instead of tuning her out,

378
00:14:37,222 --> 00:14:39,322
I tuned her in.

379
00:14:39,324 --> 00:14:43,093
And I did what I never
wanted to do.

380
00:14:43,095 --> 00:14:47,197
I attacked you the way that
she has always attacked me,

381
00:14:47,199 --> 00:14:50,633
and it wasn't right or fair.

382
00:14:50,635 --> 00:14:52,269
It was just a family pattern

383
00:14:52,271 --> 00:14:54,437
that apparently
I couldn't break.

384
00:14:54,439 --> 00:14:55,605
We need to call dad.

385
00:14:55,607 --> 00:14:56,840
No, please don't call him.

386
00:14:56,842 --> 00:14:58,308
He can fix this.

387
00:14:58,310 --> 00:15:00,443
I know, but he can't fix me.

388
00:15:00,445 --> 00:15:02,445
I'm a monster.

389
00:15:02,447 --> 00:15:04,514
That's not true.

390
00:15:04,516 --> 00:15:07,284
Jenna.

391
00:15:07,286 --> 00:15:10,954
Your dad didn't stay
with me for me.

392
00:15:10,956 --> 00:15:12,322
He stayed for you.

393
00:15:12,324 --> 00:15:15,525
And while I will always
be your mother

394
00:15:15,527 --> 00:15:19,696
and I will always love you,

395
00:15:19,698 --> 00:15:23,566
you have a choice.

396
00:15:23,568 --> 00:15:28,138
You don't have to love me.

397
00:15:28,140 --> 00:15:30,974
Again, my life was full
of unexpected choices.

398
00:15:30,976 --> 00:15:34,845
Choices that I didn't
want to make.

399
00:15:35,147 --> 00:15:38,314
You can handle this
with medication.

400
00:15:38,316 --> 00:15:40,483
I don't want
to take medication.

401
00:15:40,485 --> 00:15:43,153
I want to wring Ricky's neck.

402
00:15:43,155 --> 00:15:44,454
And you should.

403
00:15:44,456 --> 00:15:46,322
A real man
would have disclosed.

404
00:15:46,324 --> 00:15:47,524
He's branded you for life.

405
00:15:47,526 --> 00:15:48,891
So should I break up with him?

406
00:15:48,893 --> 00:15:50,092
I don't know.

407
00:15:50,094 --> 00:15:52,295
Who else is gonna want you now?

408
00:15:52,297 --> 00:15:55,465
Actually, a lot of guys.

409
00:15:55,467 --> 00:15:57,167
According to the commercials,

410
00:15:57,169 --> 00:15:58,568
one out of every four.

411
00:16:00,405 --> 00:16:01,971
It's my doctor.

412
00:16:01,973 --> 00:16:03,594
I'm too nervous.
Answer it.

413
00:16:04,426 --> 00:16:05,549
Hi.

414
00:16:07,418 --> 00:16:08,483
Yes, this is Sadie.

415
00:16:11,463 --> 00:16:12,665
It's not herpes.

416
00:16:13,732 --> 00:16:15,199
- So it's nothing.
- I told you so.

417
00:16:17,016 --> 00:16:20,711
I was just about to break up
with Ricky thanks to you...

418
00:16:21,325 --> 00:16:24,937
I'm gonna go
before I wring your neck.

419
00:16:27,198 --> 00:16:28,798
Dropped a new word today.

420
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,801
"Adora-whore-able."

421
00:16:31,803 --> 00:16:33,269
Adora-whore-able?
What's it mean?

422
00:16:33,271 --> 00:16:34,671
Slutty yet sweet.

423
00:16:34,673 --> 00:16:35,938
You've heard it?

424
00:16:35,940 --> 00:16:37,373
Unfortunately.

425
00:16:37,375 --> 00:16:39,242
Amanda Shillingford
said it in reference to me

426
00:16:39,244 --> 00:16:40,743
on my way out of Geometry.

427
00:16:40,745 --> 00:16:43,613
God, I'm so on fire!
I'm trendsetting.

428
00:16:43,615 --> 00:16:45,848
And I'm trending
in two categories,

429
00:16:45,850 --> 00:16:48,351
hashtag Jenna-pick-Jake
and Jenna-pick-Matty.

430
00:16:48,353 --> 00:16:49,885
Why can't everyone
just mind their own business?

431
00:16:49,887 --> 00:16:51,421
You need to breathe.

432
00:16:51,423 --> 00:16:54,724
And then tell us,
who's it gonna be?

433
00:16:54,726 --> 00:16:57,327
- Is it Matty or me?
- No pressure or anything.

434
00:16:57,329 --> 00:16:58,794
I appreciate that.

435
00:16:58,796 --> 00:17:00,230
But we need to know.

436
00:17:00,232 --> 00:17:03,633
And so did everyone else.

437
00:17:03,635 --> 00:17:05,602
I just-- I can't think
like this.

438
00:17:05,604 --> 00:17:08,137
Then don't.
We'll do it for you.

439
00:17:08,139 --> 00:17:09,839
I can vouch for Matty.

440
00:17:09,841 --> 00:17:12,342
He's a good-looking guy
with a great head of hair

441
00:17:12,344 --> 00:17:14,009
and a really big heart.

442
00:17:14,011 --> 00:17:15,378
Wow.
That means a lot, man.

443
00:17:15,380 --> 00:17:17,046
And see, it's that kind
of thoughtfulness

444
00:17:17,048 --> 00:17:18,814
that makes Jake
the better contender.

445
00:17:18,816 --> 00:17:20,916
He's about the best kind
of friend to have around

446
00:17:20,918 --> 00:17:22,585
when the going gets tough.

447
00:17:22,587 --> 00:17:24,687
Well, you're no slouch
in that department either, man.

448
00:17:24,689 --> 00:17:26,256
I don't know, what would
I have done without you

449
00:17:26,258 --> 00:17:28,157
when my brother
went to rehab last year?

450
00:17:28,159 --> 00:17:29,626
And when my mom
had that cancer scare,

451
00:17:29,628 --> 00:17:30,993
you were right by my side.

452
00:17:30,995 --> 00:17:32,562
And I'll be there again.

453
00:17:34,398 --> 00:17:36,899
So?

454
00:17:36,901 --> 00:17:39,902
I've made a decision.

455
00:17:39,904 --> 00:17:41,203
You should date each other.

456
00:17:53,790 --> 00:17:55,456
Is mom coming to dinner?

457
00:17:55,458 --> 00:17:57,192
She went to bed.

458
00:17:57,194 --> 00:17:58,660
It's 6:00.

459
00:17:58,662 --> 00:18:00,262
She's had a rough
couple of days,

460
00:18:00,264 --> 00:18:03,064
and she's gonna get through it.

461
00:18:03,066 --> 00:18:05,400
With you?

462
00:18:05,402 --> 00:18:07,803
I'm not going anywhere.

463
00:18:12,842 --> 00:18:16,577
Did you only
stay with mom for me?

464
00:18:16,579 --> 00:18:18,446
Your mom tell you that?

465
00:18:18,448 --> 00:18:21,482
Yeah.

466
00:18:21,484 --> 00:18:24,186
Uh, when we were younger,

467
00:18:24,188 --> 00:18:27,488
I did and said
a lot of awful things to her,

468
00:18:27,490 --> 00:18:33,428
things she's forgiven
but clearly hasn't forgotten.

469
00:18:33,430 --> 00:18:36,397
I-- I wasn't always
the best guy.

470
00:18:38,434 --> 00:18:39,835
Let's be real,

471
00:18:39,837 --> 00:18:41,937
she hasn't always
been the best either.

472
00:18:41,939 --> 00:18:43,071
No, I know.

473
00:18:43,073 --> 00:18:45,073
But you've got
to cut her some slack.

474
00:18:45,075 --> 00:18:48,543
Because what you don't know
is that I wasn't always around

475
00:18:48,545 --> 00:18:50,846
as much as I should have been.

476
00:18:50,848 --> 00:18:53,114
And when I was,

477
00:18:53,116 --> 00:18:55,150
you didn't want me to hold you.

478
00:18:55,152 --> 00:18:56,617
That's not true.

479
00:18:56,619 --> 00:18:58,553
You were the only one
who could put me to sleep.

480
00:18:58,555 --> 00:19:00,155
With your mom's song.

481
00:19:00,157 --> 00:19:02,824
Singing that lullaby

482
00:19:02,826 --> 00:19:06,427
was the only way
to get you to calm down.

483
00:19:06,429 --> 00:19:09,764
So your mom taught it to me.

484
00:19:09,766 --> 00:19:12,133
She wanted me to be your hero.

485
00:19:12,135 --> 00:19:14,402
You are my hero, dad.

486
00:19:14,404 --> 00:19:17,705
And your mom is mine.

487
00:19:23,379 --> 00:19:25,613
In an unexpected
turn of events,

488
00:19:25,615 --> 00:19:28,449
I was neither
a winner nor a loser.

489
00:19:28,451 --> 00:19:30,118
I was a chooser.

490
00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:31,286
But someone had to win.

491
00:19:31,288 --> 00:19:32,754
Someone had to lose.

492
00:19:32,756 --> 00:19:34,589
And I was still left to choose.

493
00:19:34,591 --> 00:19:36,157
It was a big decision

494
00:19:36,159 --> 00:19:38,293
and not an easy one to make.

495
00:19:45,334 --> 00:19:48,036
So I had chosen...

496
00:19:50,406 --> 00:19:53,041
my mom.

Next on Awkward...

507
00:20:32,857 --> 00:20:34,916
"If you had to do-over,
how would you handle it?"

508
00:20:34,918 --> 00:20:36,784
A do-over-- It was
an interesting concept.

509
00:20:36,786 --> 00:20:38,186
I was afraid
you weren't gonna show.

510
00:20:38,188 --> 00:20:40,322
Wait.

511
00:20:40,324 --> 00:20:41,990
"Enough about Matty.
I'm pro-Jake."

512
00:20:41,992 --> 00:20:43,558
So I'll break it off
with Matty,

513
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:44,892
you get rid of Lissa,
and we can be together.

514
00:20:44,894 --> 00:20:46,227
Cool.

515
00:20:46,229 --> 00:20:47,795
I didn't have to choose
between Matty or Jake,

516
00:20:47,797 --> 00:20:48,964
but I wanted to.

517
00:20:48,966 --> 00:20:50,765
And I finally knew
who it would be with.
