Diane Court!

Suck it.

Come on. Get the bag.

An exciting kick.

My brother. Let's go.

You're headed for daycare, buddy.

-Be tough, J-man.

-He's a mess!

I'll be in my office.

I just washed this shirt, didn't l?

Please, not in my ear. Not in my ear.

-Jim Court.

-Hello. May I please speak with Diane?

-Sorry, Diane isn't in at the moment.

-Oh, okay.

-This the guy with the Mustang?

-No.

-Guy with the Datsun?

-No.

-The truck?

-No, not really.

You don't know me.

I'm a friend of Diane's.

I sat with her yesterday at a mall.

I drive a blue Chevy Malibu.

I'm pretty bad at this,

but what I want to do is, can l--?

Give me your number.

That's usually how it works.

Okay. Lloyd Dobler. 555-1 342.

It's 555-1 342.

-555- 1342.

-Okay, I'll get her the message.

-She's pretty great, isn't she?

-What?

-She's really pretty great, isn't she?

-She is. Good luck, kid.

Good afternoon. Okay, bye.

Jim Court.

No, this is her father. Can I take--?

What?

No, I didn't get the letter.

Yes, right away.

Yeah, thank you. Goodbye.

Oh, Mr. Taylor.

You're a vision in green.

I'll mail this for you. You can trust

a man who writes a letter daily.

-Diane here? I gotta talk to her.

-She's upstairs.

I gotta tell you this carefully.

Would you mind?

-Just a few minutes.

-Yes, sir.

Great. It won't be long. Thanks.

What?

-I had a phone call.

-Tell me.

-Is it bad news?

-Just listen.

You won the Reed Fellowship.

Are you kidding?

You're not kidding?

You'll study at

the finest institute in England.

The toughest fellowship

in the country.

You're gonna take a big step.

I want one thing from you.

You stand up straight.

Admit you're special.

-God. I'll have to go on a plane.

-Worry about that later.

Now, come on.

Tell me that you're special.

You're too good at making me nervous.

Listen! You're the best

in the country, don't you understand?

It's like a pyramid.

It starts with everyone. . .

. . .and it narrows through your life.

The competition narrows it down

to one brilliant person. . .

. . .who is so special they celebrate

you on two continents. It's you.

So tell me something.

Where's the flaw in that?

There is no flaw.

Yeah, just a second, Corey.

Oh, sorry.

Diane Court.

-Don't go in there.

-Forget it. It's mine!

It's too bad.

No noise, no sound,

no movement, nothing.

Hello. Diane?

Hi. You called me?

I read about your fellowship,

and I'm glad you called me back.

I just wanted to congratulate you. . .

. . .and tell you I thought

your speech was incredible.

-Thank you very much.

-Whoa, what a day, huh?

Yeah. What a day.

-Do you know who I am?

-We sat together at Bell Square.

-You remember.
