Rules Of Attraction (Phan) (Without Trilogy Part III)

She should have been here already!

Calm down, I'm sure it's fine.

It's not fine! And I am calm!

You've been pacing for, like, an hour.

I know I shouldn't have procrastinated
on practicing such a big scene, but...

But you procrastinate on everything.
Right. Give me that.

The script? Why?

What? Now that you've got yourself
a girlfriend I'm not good enough to
practice with anymore?

Actually...

Complete that sentence and I'll kill
you.

I was just going to say that she wasn't,
and isn't, my girlfriend!

Sure. Okay, is it this highlighted page
here?

Yeah, those are your lines. 

Cool. "I had a lot of fun tonight."

What?

It's the line.

Oh, right..."Me too. I haven't gone to
the lake in years, not since...But I'm 
glad I could show you, before you left.
And I'm glad..."

"Glad what?"

"Glad that I met you, even if it's just for
the summer. Glad that we were able to
know each other, and that I was able to..."

"Yeah. I think that, if we'd never met...

I'd somehow be different. Worse. And it's
gonna suck, leaving after everything, but
it would have sucked worse to have never
known you at all. I've never met anyone like
you, Ryan. No one that I've ever connected with
and loved so easily. It's like.."

"Like we knew each other before."

"Like we were met to know each other. 
In every life and soul, we were meant
to meet."

"What does this mean?"

"I guess it means...it means I love you."

Uh...'she kisses him.'

I don't see that line anywhere.

No, but, that was the end. That and then 
we—er, they kiss. 

That's not a very good ending.

While, there's more after that, of course.
It's just the end of the scene.

So why'd you stop?

Because...Because!

Aw, you're stuttering.

Shut up.

Ah, I get it now. You wanted Jade
to do this with you so you could kiss
her, and now you can't handle a kiss
with the guy you've been friends with
for forever.

For a year!

Ouch.

It's not that I can't handle it, just that I...
don't want to.

Sure.

Yes.

Well, I guess that just means we'll have
to break script.

Thank God—I mean...WHAT ARE YOU 
DOING?

Acting.

What are you even saying?! You
can't just kiss people!

You were going to just kiss Jade.
What's the difference, if we're all "just
friends". 

You know very well that there is a
difference!

Yeah, well, tell that to your blush.
Don't wait up for me.

Dan!

Bye, Phil.

...Fuck.
