(sighing)

- Mr. Glass?

Do you have a minute?

(doorbell ringing)

- Corinne, watch your brother.

- Hi.

- I know you told me to stop,

but I made way too much of

this casserole, so please.

- Joey, turn it off.

Corinne has to study.

- I'm sorry, thank you so much.

- Listen, do you have someone

to watch Joey tomorrow?

Because I know of

a great day care.

- The Consores said they'd

watch him, thank you.

- [Teacher] I know it's

Corinne's first test.

- We're going to be fine.

- You know I'm here

if you need me.

I'll see you tomorrow, okay?

(jump rope smacking floor)

(panting)

(exhaling)

- So, as far as tomorrow?

- I wouldn't worry

about a thing.

- If you're watching this video,

then I am no longer alive.

does a pentagon have?

- Five.

are in the alphabet?

- 26.

- Who loves you?

- (Laughs) You do.

I love you so much.

(dramatic music)

- Hey, you ready to go?

- [Corinne] Uh huh.

- Name, please?

- Corinne Michaels.

- Okay, thanks.

Good luck, Corinne.

- [Guard] Name, please?

(dramatic music)

- You have a sit down with

Greet the Press at 1pm

directly after the announcement.

- Great, what about the speech?

- We got the revisions

this morning,

they're good.

- Did Georgina sign off?

- Yes, sir.

You're car will be

ready for you at 11.

- Hey, knock knock.

- What do you want,

I'm running late.

- Not everything I do

has a grand intention.

I just wanted to say hey.

- Hey.

- Blake.

I wish there was something

I could have done.

But none of us

are above the law.

Not me, not you, not Ellie.

- That's a good line.

You should use it in

your speech today.

Is there anything else

you want to try out?

(dramatic music)

- [Voiceover] Hey.

- Hey.

- I can't believe

this is the last one.

I don't know why I'm

telling you this right now

but I'm sweating so much

that my backpack is just wet.

- [Laina] That's gross.

- I know you don't stress

out about this stuff

because you're a

genius or whatever,

but, you gotta be a

little bit relieved.

I mean, think about it,

this is the last time

you have to worry

about grades forever.

- Not exactly.

You know you don't have

to hang out with me,

it's okay.

- Oh, really, sweet.

Did I get you?

- No, you do this everyday.

- Oh, well, do I

do this everyday?

'Ello, do I look British?
