Are you done?

Ooh!

Call her.

Call her.

No.

Do it.

That was 19 summers ago.

Tell her you lost

track of time.

Yeah.

Come on, dig deep.

Ok.

Yes! Henry!

Attaboy!

Oh, yes...

All right. What's her number?

Ooh, she is a cute little wafer.

You know.

There you go.

Ready?

869...

Do you want me

to get that, mom?

If it's Brad, I'm not here.

Is this it?

It's all I could find.

Hello?

Uh, yeah. Um...

Hello?

Oh!

Yeah.

What did you do that for?

Because I shouldn't

be calling her.

Oh, no. no, no, no.

You know what, Just don't call her.

I'll call her for you.

Just what the f*** you know?

Just let me do it for you.

You see, we don't have to call her.

Give it to me.

I'll call her.

Yes! Now that's my man.

There you go.

You just need to

loosen up a little.

That's what it was.

What's her number?

861...

I'll get that.

Listen, freak! It's over!

Sh*t!

Now, deal!

Just...

What?

Too harsh?

Hello?

Is Scarlet there?

Um, who is this?

This is, um, Henry...

Henry McCarthy.

Who's this?

Um, this is her best friend of

30 years, Darcy.

Who is it?

Henry McCarthy?

High school?

Oh yeah.

I was just, um...

I was flipping through

my yearbook, and...

She had written in the yearbook...

"You're a great, sweet guy.

and you better call me this summer."

That was with one of those exclamation

like you're screaming thingies

kind of thing.

Ok, well, she has no idea

who you are.

She doesn't...

She doesn't remember me.

Hold on one second.

Just...

If you turn the pages,

you look and turn the pages,

Twelve, one, thirty...

Ok, well, we'll have to

take a look.

Get your yearbook!

I don't think I even

have it anymore.

There's... it's 132.

There's a pretty good

picture of me there also.

But it's not listed.

Ok, great.

Ok, well, listen, Harry.

She doesn't have it right now.

She can't find it.

What?

Uh, no, it's sounds like it's sitting

on her nightstand

next to her retainer

underneath her unicorn poster.

All right, if you'd just tell her

that Henry McCarthy called.

Ok, I'm gonna get off

the phone now, Harry.

But thank you so much

for your interest.

Bye!

That's all right.

Bye... bye.

OMG!

I don't know.

But he's in love with you.

I'm so weak.

Yeah.

I'm serious.

That sucked.

You did what?!

I called Scarlet Smith.

Well, we did.

You did not!

He did.

I can't eat.

No, I can eat.

Yeah.

Henry.

Please. Let it go.

You stop being such an enabler.

He has nothing to lose.

He has nothing to gain

either.

Look, I was just wondering

what she's up to. That's it.

I'm sure she was wondering

the same thing about you.

She was.

Let it go!

Let. It. Go.

Let it go.

Henry, you made me proud.
