Ooh, did you hear

sue Ms. Atkinson

'cause she wouldn't let him
charge his phone in class.

d*ck in him, that Christopher.

- I'm not saying he actually
has a big penis.

- Right, okay.
- I'm just saying that, like,

you know, it's the energy.

There's like a big
energy penis around him.

- Yeah, you still can't
say that.

What are you doing here?

It's my day today.

I look at calendars

- Oh, thanks for
the m*rder mystery party,

by the way.
It was fun.

telling me about?

- Did you really have sex
with Tom Kapoor?

- Yeah.
- Oh.

- Did you really--did you--
- Yeah, yeah, I did.

- Did you, really, really?
- Have you told everyone?

- Oh, my God.
- That's great. Yes, I have.

I did.
- What? No.

Honestly...
- We're just very proud of you.

- It's not a big deal.
- It is.

It's like fan fiction,
but it's real.

It's like fan non-fiction.

- Okay, well, I'm not a fan,
so...

- Well, it sounds like
you were a fan.

I couldn't do that to you.

That's really--

I would love to go.

come full circle there.

Tom obviously wants you to go.

- No, it'd be weird.
- No, it's not.

Because you know what this is?
You've got the upper hand.

You're gonna go in there.
You're gonna see Tom Kapoor.

And you're gonna grab him
by the scruff of the neck

and say,

"Who do you think you are?"

wouldn't be weird.

- Right.
You're gonna be there?

- Don't be dumb.

- You're gonna be
on the red carpet,

looking sexy as all hell.

"Oh, my God,
who is that beautiful lady?

Wow."
Even Tom is gonna be like,

"Oh, my God, is that Jessie?
She looks insane tonight.

I can't believe
how beautiful she is."

- Why do we have a f*cking cane
in the house?

- I don't know,
but you're gonna use it.

- I am not going
to the premiere with a cane.
