J,/' [ Continues]

That's really... optimistic.

Look. Things are gonna work out.

Okay? I promise.

You'll know what to do.

What makes you

so sure?

I know you.

I don't even

know me.

[Cell Phone Ringing ]

Who's that?

Alanna.

I'll just call her back.

No, no, no. You can answer it.

Are you sure? Yeah.

I mean, you should.

[ Ringing Continues]

Hello?

He)'-

No, no. Just hanging out.

What's up?

Um- Yeah. Yeah, sure.

[ Inhaler Rattling ]

I guess you can come.

Look, can I- Actually,

can I call you back?

Yeah.

No, I promise.

All right.

Thanks. See you.

J,/' [ Continues]

I am officially the worst

at planning road trips.

Three days

before we leave,

and we have

no idea where we're going.

Awesome.

Look.

Get in my car.

I'll take you home.

We both have

exams tomorrow.

That's the last thing on

my mind right now, Jason.

I know, but we need to s-

I need to study.

[Sighs]

Come on.

Just agree reluctantly.

Please?

J, [ Grows Louder]

Okay, you stalker.

,/~ Whoa, /'// make it

J /n my //fe,/'

,/~ /'// make /I

without you,

,/~ And though my bodyk

laying here ,

,/' It's my mouth

that must be lying HOW,/',/'

Behold.

Wow.

What a piece of junk.

It's vintage classic.

[Jason ] it's vintage junk.

Look at it.

- It's dead.

- It's not dead.

This is your cousin's?

Yes.

What does he look like?

Not nearly

as good as the van.

[Jason ] By the way, I think

I know where we're going.

[ Clears Throat ]

You have

a wild side, Hannah.

What?

I know you got one deep down

in there somewhere. I mean-

Don't you ever wanna

just go crazy?

[ Patrons ] Shh! No, I don't.

I need you to have a

wild side, Hannah.

Can I hear you say

Mardi Gras?

[ Patrons ] Shh! Shh!

No, you can't.

And are you even aware that

you're in a library right now?

So, did Truman tell you?

Tell me what?

Well, spring break.

We finally decided on New Orleans.

And we want you

to come.

Come on, Hannah.

NOLA. Mardi Gras!

[ Patrons ]

Shh!

You know, uh, Mardi Gras didn't

actually start in New Orleans?

Yeah, it began

in Mobile, Alabama.

Which is on our way,

so I figured, you know,

if we got some time, we can swing

by there and check it out.

It's a pretty cool place.

Yeah. Thank you

for the history lesson.

I'm just saying, I don't want anyone to

feel like they're stuck on this trip.

You know? Like, if someone wants

to go somewhere, they should go.

I was doing just fine

before you came over here.

Do you think I'm ready

for a trip like that?

I think

it's now or never.

- It's now or never!

- [ Patrons] Shh!

- Come on!

- [ Hannah] Can't believe this.

Who's that?

Sir, this is a library.
