Such a beautiful girl.

351
00:21:46,333 --> 00:21:48,503
Beth was wondering
who you were going with.

352
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,040
No, Mom.

353
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,880
We just thought
it would be a hoot if you took Lindsey.

354
00:21:57,625 --> 00:21:59,415
She's a cheerleader.

355
00:21:59,916 --> 00:22:01,746
She comes from a great family.

356
00:22:01,833 --> 00:22:05,463
You guys would be
the best-looking couple at the thing.

359

See you after school.

360
00:22:20,666 --> 00:22:22,536
[young Colin]
You going to the Winter Formal?

361
00:22:22,625 --> 00:22:25,415
Oh, yeah. Ashley is making me go.

362
00:22:25,500 --> 00:22:28,880
She said she got us a hotel room
and stuff for an after party.

363
00:22:29,458 --> 00:22:30,788
-Are you going?
-Yeah.

364
00:22:31,625 --> 00:22:34,875
Gotta just check up with Crystal.
Haven't seen her in a hot minute.

365

-You're taking Crystal?
-Yeah.

Are you sure?

367

For real, Colin?

368
00:22:59,666 --> 00:23:03,876
It's not like we were engaged.
And we haven't seen each other in weeks.

369
00:23:03,958 --> 00:23:05,248
What? Not true.

370
00:23:05,333 --> 00:23:07,883
Passing each other in the hall
doesn't count.

371
00:23:07,958 --> 00:23:09,748
-I've been busy.
-I know.

372
00:23:09,833 --> 00:23:11,583
I'm busy too, Colin.

373
00:23:12,083 --> 00:23:16,333
But like my momma always says,
we make time for the things we care about.

374
00:23:17,583 --> 00:23:20,923
So instead of waiting for you,
I'm living my life.

375
00:23:25,333 --> 00:23:27,713
-You going to the Winter Formal?
-We'll see.

376
00:23:27,791 --> 00:23:30,751
Well, you know, I was gonna go,

377
00:23:31,250 --> 00:23:34,040
but the girl I wanted to bring,
she dissed me.

378
00:23:35,666 --> 00:23:37,456
My parents are trying to set me up.

379
00:23:41,416 --> 00:23:42,536
You should go.

380
00:23:43,916 --> 00:23:44,826
We'll see.

381
00:23:54,833 --> 00:23:56,543
Sorry I screwed this up.

382
00:23:57,166 --> 00:24:00,626
-You have nothing to apologize for.
-No, no, I do.

383
00:24:01,541 --> 00:24:05,331
You deserve my respect.
You deserve my time.

384
00:24:33,583 --> 00:24:34,423

we're gonna forget football

386
00:24:37,291 --> 00:24:38,791
and take a baseball scholarship.

Hmm?

388
00:24:40,875 --> 00:24:42,035
I think it's smart.

389
00:24:42,541 --> 00:24:45,541
