Nerve
1
Okay.
Good morning.
What you doin'?
Besides stalking JP, of course.
I'm reading the news,
thank you very much.
Oh!
You're reading the news.
You're such a good liar.
Seriously, how do you know
I'm stalking JP?
Because I know you
very, very well.
Oh, wait! Did you tell
your mom 'bout calarts yet?
Yeah, I told her.
to move across the country
and go to a really
expensive art school.
Really?
- No.
- No?
No, I haven't found...
I haven't found
the right time to tell her.
Oh!
Nerve is starting.
Sorry, this is really important.
What's nerve?
It's a game.
Here, just click on the video.
Welcome to nerve New York City.
Nerve is a 24-hour game.
Like truth or dare,
minus the truth.
Watchers pay to watch.
Players play to win
cash and glory.
Are you a watcher or a player?
Are you a watcher or a player?
Are you a watcher or a player?
It's cool, right?
This looks very sketchy.
Is this legal?
I don't know.
Probably not.
Just do it. Just sign up
and watch. Time's ticking.
Okay, signing up. Look, this
is me signing up to watch you.
Vee! You have to sign up
and watch me.
It's very important
that I have watchers.
Hey. I gotta go, my
mom just got home.
I'll sign up after breakfast.
I promise.
Thank you. I love you.
I'll see you in a little bit.
- Bye.
- Bye.
I mean, Syd hasn't
gotten into any schools yet.
And she doesn't even care.
You know what?
Sydney doesn't have to care.
She has a trust fund.
And you have something
far more valuable than that.
Here we go.
You have drive, you have focus.
You have a scholarship
to a local college.
And even though
we can't afford the dorm,
you get to have me
as your new college roommate.
Actually, I, um...
I had kind of
a cool idea about that.
What if we fixed up Mike's room
and listed you
on airbnb or something?
Maybe it's time we finally
go through his stuff
and maybe give
some of it to goodwill.
And I could give you some space.
I don't want space.
I just want you.
Okay.
I'm totally down
with commuting. I can...
I can get my reading done
on the ferry.
Yeah?
That'll work, right?
Yeah.
Let's say, "go cougars"
on the count of 1, 2, 3.
Go cougars!
Let's go, cougars!
Let's go, cougars!
Hand me the zoom lens.
Here.
Doesn't it feel
a little unbalanced
if every single yearbook photo
is of JP Guerrero?
It's not my fault
he's on the team.
Here.
Okay, guys.
Be careful, careful.
Let's hit it, JP!
All right, let's go!
Let's go! Come on!
Watch out, watch out, watch out!
You got it.
Yeah, you got it.
All right, be careful.
Careful.
Yeah!
Let's go, cougars!
Let's hear it for Sydney Sloane!
The girl with the shades.
Let's go, cougars.
Ooh, yum!
Let's go, cougars.
Liv! Liv!
Show 'em what we got, cougars!
Okay, let's play...
Where you goin', Syd?
We've lost our cheerleader.
Okay, show 'em what we got, VHS!
Are you ready?
Remember what to do?
- Okay.
- Okay. You're on!
Hey, watchers!
It's Syd baby.
I'm counting on you
to get me to the final round.
So don't let me down
and I won't let you down,
I promise.
Go, dude!
Show 'em what we got!
Show 'em what
Staten island's really about!
Go cheer, baby!
Okay. Okay.
Nerd!
Ooh!
How 'bout that ass, though?
Okay. Thank you, Sydney.
Ah... you guys dared me
to eat dog food.
You can do this!
This is so gross. This is so gross.
Okay.
Keep it in.
Ty!
Wassup, watchers?
Oh! Money, money!
Oh. Whoa!
I have so many watchers now.
Yeah, you do. Girl!
I just need to get
in that little box thing.
Who's winning now?
Apparently, this guy named Ryan.
on his junk
and let his dog lick it off.
I could do that.
But you don't have a dog.
Or a dick, Liv.
Ooh, they're coming up
with your next dare!
What is it?
I need something flashy
- Hey.
- Hey.
Hey!
Hey.
My god, how weird.
How do they know
you're afraid of heights?
- What?
- That's what they do.
It's easy.
They just take all your info
from your old profiles
and put it
in your nerve profile.
That's so creepy.
You just got suspended.
I thought you were
done playing nerve.
Hell no!
The girl who won Seattle
now has millions of followers.
She is insta-famous.
- Who cares?
- I care, Vee.
I don't expect you
to understand.
I'm an adrenaline junkie.
You like to stay within your
comfort zone. That's fine.
That's not true.
What about that
Vee, I dragged you there and you
sat in the corner and watched.
I'm a visual learner.
Why are you attacking her?
I'm not attacking her, Tommy.
Yeah, you are.
Life is passing you by.
You need to learn to take a few
risks every once in a while.
I do take risks.
Really?
Okay. Fine.
Let's just say hypothetically
you're playing nerve.
What'd be a good
nerve dare for Vee?
Make out with JP.
Baby steps. Baby steps.
Just talk to JP.
What?
You'll just never know
if you don't talk to him.
And then everybody
that's watching you,
they would just go on and vote.
Who wants to see
Vee mackin' on JP?
Oh, my god!
You guys!
All who wanna see
Yes!
Yes. Yes.
I assume, "no"?
Abstain.
Thank you.
All right.
You've been dared.
Do you accept your dare, Vee?
Say, "yes." Say, "yes."
