she is a tenured professor.

for her work reducing global poverty,

00:15:28,792 --> 00:15:31,625
Yeah, well, I was mad at you
when I put in the order, so…

00:15:31,709 --> 00:15:32,875
[chuckles] Sorry.

It's over. [sniffles]

362
00:16:36,166 --> 00:16:40,083
Harvard, Dr. Downs,
saving the world, my life. It's all over.

363
00:16:40,166 --> 00:16:43,959
Stop. You've been wait-listed, okay?
You haven't been rejected.

364
00:16:44,041 --> 00:16:45,542
It's the same thing.

365
00:16:47,750 --> 00:16:52,166
Harvard was supposed to be the place.
[chuckles] My place.

366
00:16:53,959 --> 00:16:55,500
And they don't want me either.

367
00:17:02,542 --> 00:17:04,041
What am I looking at?

368
00:17:05,291 --> 00:17:07,917
Who is this sad, little person?

369
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,625
This is not the Mandy I know.

370
00:17:10,291 --> 00:17:12,083
The Mandy I know would get up,

371
00:17:12,583 --> 00:17:14,917
march into school
in her "Future is Female" T-shirt,

372
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,291
and she would figure out a way
to get into Harvard!

373
00:17:17,792 --> 00:17:19,041
Be that Mandy.

374
00:17:30,458 --> 00:17:31,458
Thank you.

376
00:17:40,291 --> 00:17:41,291
I need to talk to you.

377
00:17:41,375 --> 00:17:44,542
- I am with a student right now!
- Oh, that's okay. I'll wait.

378
00:18:00,542 --> 00:18:05,125
Okay, the only reason I'm gonna let
that fly is because I don't like that kid.

379
00:18:05,208 --> 00:18:07,041
- So...
- I got wait-listed at Harvard.

380
00:18:07,125 --> 00:18:08,583
Oh. I'm sorry.

381
00:18:08,667 --> 00:18:11,417
Don't be sorry.
Just help me figure out how to get in.

382
00:18:11,500 --> 00:18:13,417
Mandy, let's take a beat.

383
00:18:13,500 --> 00:18:16,792
Maybe it's finally time
to start to discuss backup schools.

384
00:18:16,875 --> 00:18:20,625
You know, with your grades,
community service, extracurriculars...

385
00:18:20,709 --> 00:18:23,750
They've been applied to
and forgotten. Next.

386
00:18:23,834 --> 00:18:26,125
Fine. You need a killer letter of rec.

387
00:18:26,208 --> 00:18:29,166
Okay, I can't believe
I'm about to say this,

388
00:18:29,750 --> 00:18:31,500
but what about Graham Lansing's dad?

389
00:18:32,083 --> 00:18:35,041
The Harvard-alum senator?
That's a great idea. Ask him.

390
00:18:35,125 --> 00:18:39,083
Uh, I don't know him,
but I was hoping maybe you knew him.

391
00:18:39,166 --> 00:18:43,667
Oh, me? Yeah, we're super close.
Let's just call him right now.

392
00:18:43,750 --> 00:18:46,041
[humming]

393
00:18:46,125 --> 00:18:47,208
- Ms. Chen?
- No, be quiet.

394
00:18:47,291 --> 00:18:49,625
I'm trying to psychically connect
with him.

395
00:18:50,125 --> 00:18:52,083
[humming continues]

396
00:18:52,166 --> 00:18:54,959
Okay, stop! You made your point.

397
00:18:55,041 --> 00:18:58,333
I know that a letter from a senator
would seem big and flashy,

398
00:18:58,417 --> 00:19:00,166
but unless you have a magic in with him,

399
00:19:00,250 --> 00:19:03,792
get a rec from a teacher
who can speak to your passion,

400
00:19:03,875 --> 00:19:06,166
your character, your Mandy-ness.

401
00:19:06,250 --> 00:19:08,250
That is your best bet.

402
00:19:11,041 --> 00:19:13,375
Yeah, yeah. Totally. Okay, okay.

403
00:19:13,458 --> 00:19:15,709
Uh, I hear you, loud and clear.

404
00:19:18,750 --> 00:19:20,041
She don't hear me.

405
00:19:21,917 --> 00:19:24,959
So, Ms. Chen told you to become BFFs
with Graham Lansing

406
00:19:25,041 --> 00:19:28,333
so you can ask his senator father
for a letter of recommendation?

407
00:19:28,959 --> 00:19:31,000
Uh, not in so many words.

408
00:19:31,083 --> 00:19:32,542
But what's with the pushback?

409
00:19:32,625 --> 00:19:35,458
I thought you wanted a banal,
party-filled high school experience.

410
00:19:35,542 --> 00:19:37,502
Hanging out with Graham Lansing
can give you that.

411
00:19:37,542 --> 00:19:40,559
Yeah, I also said I want arm muscles,
but have you seen me sign up for a gym?

412
00:19:40,583 --> 00:19:43,017
Besides, this is... this is manipulation,
okay? It's unethical.

413
00:19:43,041 --> 00:19:45,851
Are you really willing to compromise
your values for some letter of rec?

414
00:19:45,875 --> 00:19:49,750
Okay, this is not some letter of rec!
This is my life's ambition.

415
00:19:49,834 --> 00:19:53,250
Besides, there is a long history
of men taking advantage of women

416
00:19:53,333 --> 00:19:55,667
for things far less important
than Harvard.

417
00:19:55,750 --> 00:19:57,250
I don't know, Mandy.

418
00:19:57,333 --> 00:20:00,125
[squeals] Put me down!

419
00:20:01,750 --> 00:20:03,291
He's crazy.

420
00:20:03,959 --> 00:20:06,500
Okay, but we would, like,
hang out with all the Everests?

421
00:20:06,583 --> 00:20:09,166
- [indistinct announcement]
- Probably.

422
00:20:09,250 --> 00:20:10,250
I'm in.

423
00:20:11,208 --> 00:20:13,568
Let's do it. Let's live out
this little '80s movie of yours.

424
00:20:13,625 --> 00:20:15,000
Okay, this is not an '80s movie.

425
00:20:15,083 --> 00:20:18,583
In an '80s movie, Molly Ringwald falls
in love with the cute boy with dimples,

426
00:20:18,667 --> 00:20:21,208
going to great lengths to be with him,
future be damned.

427
00:20:21,291 --> 00:20:23,434
In my movie, Molly Ringwald
falls in love with Harvard,

428
00:20:23,458 --> 00:20:26,083
going to great lengths to get there,
dimples be damned.

429
00:20:26,792 --> 00:20:28,500
What are you even saying?

430
00:20:28,583 --> 00:20:30,393
- What are you saying?
- [Ben] What is the plan?

431
00:20:30,417 --> 00:20:32,917
Let's start with what we know
and then fill in the gaps.

432
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,500
So, aside from being a popular womanizer
with a senator father,

433
00:20:37,583 --> 00:20:40,792
what do we know about Graham Lansing?

434
00:20:40,875 --> 00:20:42,709
- Uh, basketball.
- Right.

435
00:20:42,792 --> 00:20:43,792
Um…

436
00:20:44,792 --> 00:20:46,291
Basketball team.

437
00:20:46,375 --> 00:20:49,583
Okay. Um, so a lot of gaps.

438
00:20:49,667 --> 00:20:50,709
Yes, lots of gaps.

439
00:20:50,792 --> 00:20:54,458
It just means we check his socials.
Do some under-the-radar recon.

440
00:20:54,542 --> 00:20:57,208
Recon? Okay, well, who are we gonna ask?

441
00:20:58,166 --> 00:20:59,875
The only other people we talk to.

442
00:20:59,959 --> 00:21:02,792
Mandy, Ben told us. We are so sorry.

443
00:21:02,875 --> 00:21:04,500
We've ordered you an Edible Arrangement.

444
00:21:04,583 --> 00:21:05,875
Thanks, guys.

445
00:21:05,959 --> 00:21:08,917
Uh, but let's... let's talk
about something normal, yeah? [chuckles]

446
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,917
- Normal?
- You know, like, uh…

447
00:21:11,500 --> 00:21:13,583
Uh, Graham. Lansing.

448
00:21:13,667 --> 00:21:18,417
What... What does he do?
You know, besides basketball.

449
00:21:18,500 --> 00:21:19,709
Very under the radar.

450
00:21:20,667 --> 00:21:23,792
Okay. He's probably going
to Kayla Jacobson's party tonight.

451
00:21:23,875 --> 00:21:25,792
The entire senior class is going.

452
00:21:25,875 --> 00:21:27,959
- I mean, besides you two.
- Ouch.

453
00:21:28,041 --> 00:21:29,875
Noted. Zenobia, what about you?

454
00:21:31,208 --> 00:21:32,417
We have AP Psych together.

455
00:21:32,500 --> 00:21:35,667
Last week, I heard Graham talking
to the teacher about needing extra credit.

456
00:21:35,750 --> 00:21:38,375
Zenob, baby, we gotta go.
Bethany's making money moves.

457
00:21:38,458 --> 00:21:40,698
She's eating with the color guard girls
in the band room.

458
00:21:41,625 --> 00:21:46,250
She will not stop until she has my head
on a platter. Let's go.

459
00:21:46,333 --> 00:21:47,583
Okay, wait.

460
00:21:49,500 --> 00:21:52,041
I got it.
Okay, we go to the party tonight…

461
00:21:52,125 --> 00:21:53,542
- Whoa, okay.
- …talk to Graham.

462
00:21:54,041 --> 00:21:56,208
I'll offer to tutor him in psych for free.

463
00:21:56,291 --> 00:22:00,250
Then once I earn his trust, I will ask him
to ask his dad for the letter of rec.

464
00:22:00,333 --> 00:22:03,083
Okay. Okay, so the plan is, uh,

465
00:22:03,166 --> 00:22:06,000
we... we stage a run-in
with the most popular guy in school,

466
00:22:06,083 --> 00:22:10,500
whom we have never spoken to before,
at a party that we were not invited to,

467
00:22:10,583 --> 00:22:13,834
and then charm him by super casually
bringing up his failing grades.

468
00:22:13,917 --> 00:22:16,000
And then ask him for a gigantic favor.

469
00:22:16,083 --> 00:22:18,542

Yeah. They need to bring a hammer,
not show up hammered, right?

No, I'm looking for Graham Lansing.

Yeah.

Are you liking it?

Well, um, if you ever need help,
I'd be happy to tutor you.

I'm all set.

589
00:28:03,083 --> 00:28:07,208
Are you sure? Because, you know,
I got a five on the AP exam.

590
00:28:07,291 --> 00:28:09,083
And I'm a great tutor. I have references.

And it's free!
I mean, what's better than free?

And now you're crashing parties
and team service projects

00:28:21,458 --> 00:28:23,417
and offering to tutor me just 'cause?

597
00:28:23,917 --> 00:28:27,083
Come on. There's gotta be a catch.
So, what is it, hmm?

598
00:28:29,375 --> 00:28:31,417
Do you want us to take a selfie
or something?

599
00:28:31,500 --> 00:28:34,375
[chuckles] I do not want a selfie, okay?

600

I'm just a nice person
trying to do a nice thing,

then that's your problem and not mine.

LaToya Reynolds
is not my girlfriend, okay?

609
00:29:04,542 --> 00:29:07,000
Besides, she barely even looked
at me anyway, so…

610
00:29:07,083 --> 00:29:08,625
So, you noticed her not looking?

611
00:29:08,709 --> 00:29:10,709

Oh, no. I don't know them.
That's just quality content.

641
00:30:29,709 --> 00:30:31,667
No clue. Why?

642
00:30:31,750 --> 00:30:33,250
Well, I just think it would be nice

643
00:30:33,333 --> 00:30:37,250
if any of these promposals took
into account the girl's interests or life.

644
00:30:37,333 --> 00:30:38,792

645
00:30:38,875 --> 00:30:41,000

in front of his friends.

646
00:30:42,375 --> 00:30:43,792

We did a group project
for AP Bio last year.

658
00:31:10,875 --> 00:31:11,875
No, I know.

659
00:31:12,875 --> 00:31:15,041
Wait. Do you not know my name?

660
00:31:15,125 --> 00:31:18,709
I do. Obviously.
I mean, you're... you're like...

LaToya Reynolds,
I mean, does that make any sense?

666
00:31:31,792 --> 00:31:33,542
Not entirely. [chuckles]

667
00:31:34,041 --> 00:31:35,500
- Try to hang on to that.
- Right.

00:31:35,583 --> 00:31:39,083
But if you lose it, we have your name
at the door, Ben Plunkett.

Ebbinghaus was famous
for his forgetting curve,

674
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,291
which shows that you forget about 75%
of the information you learn in a day

675
00:31:56,375 --> 00:31:58,375
without relearning or repetition.

676
00:31:58,458 --> 00:32:01,208
Which is kind of what makes tutoring
such an effective tool.

677
00:32:01,291 --> 00:32:02,667
Can you stop with the tapping?

678
00:32:02,750 --> 00:32:05,834
Sorry, but if you're just gonna sit here
and talk at me like Ms. Allen does,

679
00:32:05,917 --> 00:32:06,917
I'm gonna get antsy.

680
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,250
Like it's my fault you have
the attention span of a golden retriever.

681
00:32:11,291 --> 00:32:13,458
Well, this was fun.

682
00:32:13,542 --> 00:32:16,250
Thank you. I'll let you know
how I do on the next test.

683
00:32:16,333 --> 00:32:17,750
Wait. I'm sorry.

684
00:32:18,709 --> 00:32:20,083
[sighs] I'm sorry.

685
00:32:20,917 --> 00:32:23,458
- Can we start over?
- I don't think this is gonna work.

686
00:32:24,041 --> 00:32:25,041
You're right.

687
00:32:27,333 --> 00:32:28,625
Follow me.

688
00:32:29,417 --> 00:32:30,417
You serious?

689
00:32:31,166 --> 00:32:33,250
You said it yourself. You get antsy.

690
00:32:33,333 --> 00:32:37,458
So, let's redirect that nervous energy
into something else so you can focus.

691
00:32:37,542 --> 00:32:40,250
It'll be like a fidget spinner for jocks.

692
00:32:40,333 --> 00:32:41,458
We prefer the term athletes.

693
00:32:41,542 --> 00:32:42,959
I'm sure you do.

694
00:32:43,041 --> 00:32:45,375
So, Ebbinghaus's forgetting curve says

695
00:32:45,458 --> 00:32:50,208
you forget 75% of the information
you learn in one day without relearning.

696
00:32:50,291 --> 00:32:51,971
- [Graham] He shoots.
- What did I just say?

697
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,083
He scores.

698
00:32:55,375 --> 00:32:57,875
You said
Ebbinghaus's forgetting curve says

699
00:32:57,959 --> 00:33:04,250
we forget up to 75% of the things
we learn in a day without relearning them.

700
00:33:06,625 --> 00:33:08,625
- You might be onto something.
- ["bad guy" playing]

701
00:33:08,709 --> 00:33:11,500
The stereotype threat is
where someone does worse academically

702
00:33:11,583 --> 00:33:13,417
because they're told
they're not good enough.

703
00:33:13,500 --> 00:33:15,959
Oof. That one hits deep.
Thanks a lot, Dad.

Mandy, heads up.

No.

707
00:33:22,250 --> 00:33:24,458
So, me being able to remember
the last thing you said

708
00:33:24,542 --> 00:33:26,667
is an example of the recency effect.

709
00:33:26,750 --> 00:33:28,125
That actually makes sense.

710
00:33:28,208 --> 00:33:30,083
You can store that explicit memory…

711
00:33:32,709 --> 00:33:33,875
in your hippocampus.

712
00:33:33,959 --> 00:33:35,583
- Am I right?
- You actually are.

713
00:33:35,667 --> 00:33:37,542
Huh. Look at me learning.

What? You have to.

732

You said that when we store memories,
we store the emotion we felt at the time.

Okay. So the acronym we use

And, finally, follow-through.

Keep moving your hand after
you release the ball to finish your shot.

[scoffs] Well, that was pathetic.

748

Hey.

749
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,250
What? If I said that was good, you would
lose all respect for me as a coach.

750
00:35:16,333 --> 00:35:17,583
Okay, let's try again.

00:39:40,333 --> 00:39:41,375
[cell phone ringing]

846
00:39:41,458 --> 00:39:44,250
- Oh. Make yourself at home, sweetie. Okay?
- Thanks.

847
00:39:44,333 --> 00:39:46,333
[ringing continues]

848
00:39:49,875 --> 00:39:51,083
[Mrs. Lansing] Hello.

849
00:39:51,166 --> 00:39:53,333
Oh, yes. I've been meaning to call you.

850
00:40:04,333 --> 00:40:06,250
You found the Lansing wall of fame.

851
00:40:06,333 --> 00:40:08,208
[chuckles] It's very impressive.

852
00:40:09,041 --> 00:40:11,542
Your brother went to nationals
in Academic Decathlon?

853
00:40:11,625 --> 00:40:14,834
Teddy? Yeah, he got third place.
Cried afterwards.

854
00:40:14,917 --> 00:40:16,375
[chuckles]

855
00:40:16,458 --> 00:40:17,500
Where are you?

856
00:40:19,750 --> 00:40:21,166
[chuckles] Aw.

857
00:40:21,834 --> 00:40:23,417
But where's the real stuff?

858
00:40:23,917 --> 00:40:26,667
You know, being crowned homecoming king

859
00:40:26,750 --> 00:40:29,458
and winning basketball player of the year
or whatever.

860
00:40:29,959 --> 00:40:32,625
It's called MVP.
And none of that counts for the wall.

861
00:40:32,709 --> 00:40:36,125
According to my father, the wall
is reserved for actual achievements,

862
00:40:36,208 --> 00:40:39,000
not silly games or popularity contests.

863
00:40:39,083 --> 00:40:42,500
He's a senator. His job is literally
winning a popularity contest.

864
00:40:42,583 --> 00:40:43,583
That's what I said.

865
00:40:43,667 --> 00:40:46,834
And now I'm stuck on the wall
with my fifth-grade graduation picture.

866
00:40:49,291 --> 00:40:51,458
Let's go get me on this wall
for real, huh?

867
00:40:52,959 --> 00:40:57,041
The Babinski reflex and the Moro reflex.

868
00:40:57,125 --> 00:40:59,041
[Mandy] Correct. And that's it for today.

869
00:40:59,125 --> 00:41:01,750
[Graham] It looks like we got time
to work on that jumper.

870
00:41:03,250 --> 00:41:05,417
So, what's the deal with your folks?

871
00:41:05,500 --> 00:41:06,500
You guys get along?

872
00:41:07,291 --> 00:41:09,667
Person with the ball
has to answer the questions.

873
00:41:09,750 --> 00:41:11,959
It's kind of the rule
of our tutoring sessions.

874
00:41:12,750 --> 00:41:14,041
Fine. Uh…

875
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:19,834
Yeah, we do for the most part,
just normal annoying parent stuff.

876
00:41:20,500 --> 00:41:22,041
- You?
- I don't have the ball.

877
00:41:22,125 --> 00:41:23,605
I don't have to answer your question.

878
00:41:23,667 --> 00:41:26,917
Hmm. Do you get along with your parents?

879
00:41:28,792 --> 00:41:31,125
Uh, yeah, with my mom it's easy.

880
00:41:31,208 --> 00:41:33,333
Hmm, she's a talker, but my dad…

881
00:41:34,500 --> 00:41:36,208
No matter how hard I try, I just...

882
00:41:36,917 --> 00:41:38,750
I just can't live up to his standards.

883
00:41:38,834 --> 00:41:40,959
You know, the only reason
I took this AP class

884
00:41:41,041 --> 00:41:44,166
is so maybe he'd think of me
as not a complete idiot for once.

885
00:41:45,625 --> 00:41:48,000
- [sighs] Sorry.
- For what?

886
00:41:48,750 --> 00:41:51,375
People don't wanna listen
to Graham Lansing's daddy issues.

887
00:41:52,041 --> 00:41:53,166
I'll listen.

888
00:41:59,625 --> 00:42:00,750
Who's your best friend?

889
00:42:00,834 --> 00:42:02,250
Ben Plunkett.

890
00:42:02,333 --> 00:42:04,083
No Nuts Plunkett is your best friend?

891
00:42:04,166 --> 00:42:05,917
Yes. And don't call him that.

892
00:42:07,166 --> 00:42:08,417
Who's your best friend?

893
00:42:09,333 --> 00:42:10,542
Owen Kirksey.

894
00:42:10,625 --> 00:42:11,625
Favorite movie?

895
00:42:12,291 --> 00:42:13,375
<i>9 to 5.</i>

896
00:42:13,458 --> 00:42:14,625
Favorite book?

897
00:42:14,709 --> 00:42:15,709
<i>Unbroken</i>.

898
00:42:15,792 --> 00:42:17,125
First kiss?

899
00:42:17,208 --> 00:42:19,000
Peter Garcia. Seventh grade.

900
00:42:19,083 --> 00:42:20,083
Last kiss?

901
00:42:20,166 --> 00:42:21,917
Sophie Homan. Kayla's party.

902
00:42:22,458 --> 00:42:24,709
Did you think
I was just a dumb jock before this?

903
00:42:24,792 --> 00:42:25,917
Yes.

904
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,834
- Did you know who I was before this?
- No.

905
00:42:28,917 --> 00:42:30,166
Why'd you offer to tutor me?

906
00:42:31,125 --> 00:42:33,792
Dinner in 15 when your dad gets home.
Get cleaned up.

907
00:42:33,875 --> 00:42:36,542
Dad's joining us for dinner?
To what do we owe the pleasure?

908
00:42:36,625 --> 00:42:39,208
Get it all out now before he gets here.

909
00:42:39,291 --> 00:42:40,959
Hey, do you wanna stay for dinner?

910
00:42:41,041 --> 00:42:42,166
With your parents?

911
00:42:42,667 --> 00:42:45,667
- Right. That's weird. You don't have to...
- No, I want to.

912
00:42:46,875 --> 00:42:50,125
Unless you wanna take it back,
in which case, I don't have to. [chuckles]

913
00:42:51,125 --> 00:42:53,291
I want you to. It's why I asked.

914
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,583
- Okay. Then I'm in.
- Good.

915
00:42:59,834 --> 00:43:01,667
- I'm gonna go wash up.
- [Mandy] Okay.

916
00:43:15,041 --> 00:43:16,041
[sighs]

917
00:43:21,834 --> 00:43:22,834
[cell phone chimes]

918
00:43:44,500 --> 00:43:45,875
- LaToya Reynolds!
- Oh!

919
00:43:46,583 --> 00:43:49,000
[sighs] Ben Plunkett, you scared me.

920
00:43:49,083 --> 00:43:50,667
Oh, I'm so sorry. So sorry.

921
00:43:50,750 --> 00:43:53,750
I'm just... I'm surprised to see you here.

922
00:43:53,834 --> 00:43:55,792
Because I'm not going
to Corey Eckhart's party?

923
00:43:55,875 --> 00:44:00,083
Yeah, yes, 'cause I...
I am definitely aware of that party.

924
00:44:00,166 --> 00:44:02,166
So, why aren't you going?

925
00:44:03,083 --> 00:44:05,625
Every once in a while,
I just need a break from that scene.

926
00:44:05,709 --> 00:44:08,041
Yeah, I mean... [scoffs] Same. [chuckles]

927
00:44:08,750 --> 00:44:10,125
I thought you could relate.

928
00:44:11,792 --> 00:44:13,500
Uh... What are you here to see?

929
00:44:14,166 --> 00:44:15,166
<i>Infinite Doom</i>.

930
00:44:15,667 --> 00:44:19,583
Scary movies are not my thing, but where
Michael B. Jordan goes, I follow.

931
00:44:19,667 --> 00:44:22,458
Well, I'm here to see that too.
Do you wanna go together?

932
00:44:22,542 --> 00:44:24,625
Not together, of course.
Obviously not together.

933
00:44:24,709 --> 00:44:26,250
I just meant, like, would you...

934
00:44:26,333 --> 00:44:28,458
Would you wanna go as friends?
Or you know what?

935
00:44:28,542 --> 00:44:31,250
Now that I say it out loud,
friends may be presumptuous.

936
00:44:31,333 --> 00:44:32,500
I can totally hear that now.

937
00:44:32,583 --> 00:44:35,458
What I mean to say is
that I have this extra ticket,

938
00:44:35,542 --> 00:44:37,792
and you can totally have it
if you want it.

939
00:44:37,875 --> 00:44:41,792
And it would just be, like, one classmate
helping out a fellow classmate.

940
00:44:41,875 --> 00:44:43,393
Nothing more than that. You know what?

941
00:44:43,417 --> 00:44:46,542
We don't even need to sit next to
each other if you don't want to, so…

942
00:44:48,792 --> 00:44:51,291
I'd be happy to help out
a fellow classmate.

943
00:44:52,750 --> 00:44:54,375
And we can sit next to each other.

944
00:44:54,458 --> 00:44:56,750
Great. 'Cause the seats are assigned.

945
00:44:57,583 --> 00:45:00,500
So your dad won't be joining us. [sighs]

946
00:45:00,583 --> 00:45:03,166
He got pulled into last-minute drinks
with a donor.

947
00:45:03,250 --> 00:45:05,917
Can't be missed.
Reelection's right around the corner.

948
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:07,583
[Graham] Well, I, for one, am shocked.

949
00:45:07,667 --> 00:45:09,917
[Mrs. Lansing] Stop it. He works hard.

950
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,917
So, Mandy, where are you off to next year?

951
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:17,709
The way Graham talks about you, I imagine
you must have your pick of schools.

952
00:45:17,792 --> 00:45:21,041
[groans] Well... You know,
my first choice is Harvard.

953
00:45:21,125 --> 00:45:23,583
I wanna study under Dr. Downs.
She's this amazing...

954
00:45:23,667 --> 00:45:24,667
I know who she is.

955
00:45:24,750 --> 00:45:26,166
I love her.

956
00:45:26,250 --> 00:45:28,959
- I went to her book signing last year...
- Uh, me too.

957
00:45:29,041 --> 00:45:30,458
- What?
- Yeah.

958
00:45:30,542 --> 00:45:33,750
[laughs] Where have you been hiding?

959
00:45:33,834 --> 00:45:37,417
The last girl Graham brought home asked
why we didn't live in the White House.

960
00:45:37,500 --> 00:45:40,291
[chuckles] Mandy's my tutor, Mom.

961
00:45:40,375 --> 00:45:42,291
- Okay? She's not like Tess.
- No.

962
00:45:42,375 --> 00:45:44,917
- Or Jenna or Hannah or Taylor.
- Stop.

963
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:46,625
[laughs] Kidding.

964
00:45:47,959 --> 00:45:52,083
Mandy, so please, go on.
You're going to Harvard.

965
00:45:52,166 --> 00:45:53,417
Oh, hopefully.

966
00:45:54,125 --> 00:45:55,125
I got wait-listed.

967
00:45:55,208 --> 00:45:57,417
Oh, that's a shame.

968
00:45:58,500 --> 00:46:00,500
Did you know my husband went to Harvard?

969
00:46:02,333 --> 00:46:06,709
Uh, no. I had no idea.
Wow. That is so impressive. [chuckles]

970
00:46:08,333 --> 00:46:11,000
You know, I would love the opportunity
to pick his brain.

971
00:46:11,083 --> 00:46:12,542
See if he has any tips.

972
00:46:13,041 --> 00:46:14,208
Only if he has the time.

973
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,834
[Mrs. Lansing] Oh, well,
clearly his schedule is unpredictable.

974
00:46:18,333 --> 00:46:22,375
But, you know, next weekend there's
a fundraiser where he's being honored.

975
00:46:22,458 --> 00:46:24,834
The whole family is going.

976
00:46:25,417 --> 00:46:27,917
You should come.
You could talk to him then.

977
00:46:28,458 --> 00:46:30,291
- You don't have to.
- I would love to.

978
00:46:31,333 --> 00:46:34,583
[Mrs. Lansing] Excellent.
I will have Graham get you the details.

979
00:46:40,041 --> 00:46:42,881
- [Ben] What did you think of the movie?
- [LaToya] I'm just gonna say it.

980
00:46:42,917 --> 00:46:45,083
- Michael B should be in every movie.
- [Ben] Okay.

981
00:46:45,166 --> 00:46:49,458
[LaToya] Even the old ones.
<i>Titanic</i>, <i>Godfather</i>, <i>Citizen Kane</i>.

982
00:46:49,959 --> 00:46:52,375
Go back. Remake 'em all with him in it.

983
00:46:52,458 --> 00:46:53,709
Okay. So, you liked it?

984
00:46:53,792 --> 00:46:56,500
It... It was hard to tell.
You spent the whole movie like this.

985
00:46:56,583 --> 00:46:57,583
I did not.

986
00:46:57,667 --> 00:47:00,875
I'm pretty sure I have a bruise on my arm
from how hard you were leaning into me.

987
00:47:00,959 --> 00:47:02,041
Shut up!

988
00:47:02,125 --> 00:47:04,792
- Oh, I'm sorry. Did that hurt?
- A little. [chuckles]

989
00:47:05,959 --> 00:47:08,291
Well, this is me.

990
00:47:09,250 --> 00:47:10,250
I had fun.

991
00:47:10,834 --> 00:47:12,125
I'm glad Mandy canceled.

992
00:47:14,500 --> 00:47:17,166
You said you two usually grab waffles
after a movie?

993
00:47:17,250 --> 00:47:18,250
Yep.

994
00:47:21,792 --> 00:47:24,333
- Do you wanna...
- I will see you at school. [chuckles]

995
00:47:26,208 --> 00:47:27,417
See you at school.

996
00:47:29,750 --> 00:47:33,000
See you at school?
What are you doing, Ben? [grunts]

997
00:47:33,667 --> 00:47:35,709
Why am I running?
This is only making it worse.

998
00:47:35,792 --> 00:47:36,917
Why am I making it worse?

999
00:47:39,083 --> 00:47:41,458
You made quite the impression
on my mom tonight.

1000
00:47:41,542 --> 00:47:46,000
[chuckles] I guess I have Britney,
Tiffany, Rachel and Jessica to thank.

1001
00:47:46,083 --> 00:47:47,883
- You're just making up those names.
- [laughs]

1002
00:47:47,959 --> 00:47:50,000
But how many of them
are girls you've dated?

1003
00:47:50,083 --> 00:47:51,208
Uh, two-ish.

1004
00:47:51,291 --> 00:47:53,083
Oh, I feel bad for that ish-girl.

1005
00:47:53,166 --> 00:47:54,375
No, she was very happy.

1006
00:47:54,458 --> 00:47:55,667
[chuckles] Gross.

1007
00:47:56,709 --> 00:47:57,709
Good night, Graham.

1008
00:48:03,333 --> 00:48:04,333
Wait, wait.

1009
00:48:06,667 --> 00:48:08,750
I'm glad you're coming to the fundraiser.

1010
00:48:08,834 --> 00:48:11,542
My dad's gonna freak
when I show up with a Harvard girl.

1011
00:48:11,625 --> 00:48:13,208
The hopeful Harvard girl.

1012
00:48:13,291 --> 00:48:15,458
