Jane, we need to talk.

Before you say anything,

I just wanna say

thank you for the best summer

of my short life.

[CHUCKLES] What? No.

I should be the one thanking you.

First, you saved my hide by helping me

plan a pep rally that is gonna knock

- this whole town's socks off.

- [LAUGHS]

But I enjoy that sort of thing.

And then this happened.

And and this

Has been a dream.

Yeah.

I need you to know,

I am not some naive girl.

You're popular, and I'm not,

and those are just the facts.

Listen, I know it wasn't easy

being the new girl

- at Rydell last year.

- It wasn't.

But I started to hope

that this year, maybe

Never mind.

No, what?

I had this dumb idea.

I could run for student council.

And I know that popular kids usually win,

but I thought after

everyone sees our pep rally,

maybe I'll have a chance.

And if when you win president again,

we could still be a team.

As friends, of course. [CHUCKLES]

Wow. That

That is a dumb idea.

Jane, we're not gonna be friends.

- Oh.

- At least

At least I hope not.

Because I've been trying

to ask you to go steady.

- What?

- And you should definitely

run for student council, I'll endorse you.

This this isn't the end?

Of course not.

It's only the beginning.
