Anyway, I decided to come up

with this bad boy.

Look at this.

I present to you,

a Jack Spier production.

- (mouse clicks)

- ("Heaven" playing)

I don't need to be the king

Of the world

Wait, wait.

Look at that!

Oh, it's so good.

As long as I'm the hero

Of this little girl

Look at this.

Wait, wait, wait.

Heaven isn't too far away

SIMON:
Yup. Okay.

(stops video)

What are you...

Look, this is your

20th anniversary,

so I'm gonna be super real

with you right now.

This looks

like a fourth grader made it.

And not even the smartest

fourth grader in the class.

Just, like,

a deeply average fourth grader.

What are you talking about?

This is amazing.

I got fade-ins.

I got dissolves.

- This is beautiful.

- Get up for a second.

I'll help you. Trust me.

We can make this good.

We just gotta put in...

you know, some home video.

Maybe put in some better music.

"Better music"? This was huge

when we were young.

Yeah. So was Bill Cosby.

("Waterloo Sunset" playing)

(cell phone ringing)

Hey.

Have you seen the new post?

No. What? Oh, my God.

You know, I'm never getting

back in that pool again.

Wait, no. About the closeted

gay kid at school.

What?

LEAH:

Yeah, it's on Creek Secrets.

People so busy

Makes me feel dizzy

Taxi light shines

So bright...

- Who do you think it is?

- (exhales)

I bet it's that sophomore

with the rimless glasses.

I get a vibe.

- Actually.

- Hmm.

Maybe it's Parker O'Malley.

I've heard he's, like,

obsessed with Les Mis.

Oh, gosh. Jeez. I gotta go.

Bieber just took a dump

on the floor.

LEAH:
Aw, Beebs.

- Feed him some rice...

- Can I call you back?

SIMON:
"Sometimes, I feel like

I'm stuck on a Ferris wheel.

One minute I'm on

top of the world,

and the next,

I'm at rock bottom.

Over and over, all day long.

Because a lot of my life

is great,

but nobody knows I'm gay.

Blue."

(exhales)

As long as I gaze

on Waterloo sunset

I am in paradise

Every day I look at the world

From my window

But chilly, chilly

Is the evening time

Waterloo sunset's fine

Waterloo sunset's fine

Terry meets Julie

Waterloo Station

Every Friday night

(clears throat)

But I am so lazy

Don't want to wander...

Blue. Okay.

(exhales)

But I don't feel afraid

SIMON:
Dear Blue,

I'm just like you.

For the most part,

my life is totally normal.

My dad was the annoyingly

handsome quarterback

who married

the hot valedictorian.

And no, they didn't peak

in high school.

I have a sister

I actually like.

Not that I'd

ever tell her that.

And then, there's my friends.

We do everything friends do.

We drink way too much...

So, like I said,

I'm just like you.

I have a totally,
