and be here on time.

Keeping that in mind,

could you give me an example

of your dependability

or your willingness to work?

I'll be honest with you. I have

really bad dependability problems.

- I'm always late, always.

- All right.

Do you smoke?

Yeah.

Okay. Do you have any objections

to psychological or drug tests?

Yeah.

Okay, let's give her a round of applause.

All right.

After high school,

do you want just a job?

Or do you want a real career,

making real money?

International Business College in

Fort Wayne, Indiana can take you there.

What I want to do when I grow up,

I want to work in film.

I want to be a director,

so I want to go to college in California.

But most people around here

just stay in Indiana for college.

That doesn't sound great to me,

because I want to, you know,

I want to just work my heart out on this.

I want to actually...

My goal is, I want to make movies

that people remember forever.

I want people to remember me

after I die.

I don't want to just live for nothing,

and work some 9-to-5 sh*t job

and just die, you know.

I want to do something

that people will remember

and that will really touch people.

- One point.

- So it kind of sucks.

Hey, Clarke!

Hannah wants to talk to you.

Hello?

Hey, what's the matter?

I just needed to talk to someone.

- Do you want me to come over?

- Okay.

All right. I'll see you soon.

Did something happen?

Okay.

- Tonight he said that?

- Yeah.

So... Kill me.

I'm sorry.

I'm so in love with him.

I just can't stop being in love with him.

I can't go to school anymore.

I can't. I can't see him.

Hannah's at home again.

She missed all last week.

Didn't go to school at all.

- She's gonna get in big trouble.

- I know.

Four, five, six, seven, eight...

I have a new crush,

and her name's Lorrin.

She's a freshman in band.

She just moved here,

so she hardly knows anyone at all.

So I actually might

have a chance with her.

- Hey.

- Hey, is Lorrin here?

Yeah.

Lorrin?

- Hi.

- Hello.

- How are you?

- Pretty good, how are you?

Wow, thank you. What are these for?

- Just because.

- Oh, thank you, these are awesome.

I just got back from my game.

I'm smelling like crap. It's disgusting.

I took a shower today,

and then did almost nothing,

so I'm kind of just the opposite.

I got my oil changed. That was exciting.

So, do you want to go see

a movie Sunday?

Yeah.

They're not the easiest things

to eat in the world.

I am nervous, 'cause somebody

likes me that I like back.

I mean, usually

it's like a one-sided thing,

where it's a really creepy girl

that likes me,

or it's some girl that I like and hates me.

So, what's going on with Hannah?
