Speaker A
You all right down there? I'm a bit jet-lagged. I just got back from Europe.
00:05
Speaker A
So do you go to Hollis? I'm gonna start my first teaching job. I think I'd like to teach.
00:09
Speaker A
I love this song. B26. What's your major? Well, I'm leaning toward English. That's what I'm teaching.
00:21
Speaker A
You're smart, you've traveled, great taste in music. Like to know more about you. Yeah.
00:26
Speaker A
I'd like to know more about you too. So I hear the new teacher's really hot.
00:54
Speaker A
Holy crap. Sorry. I'm Mr. Fitz. Your new English teacher. Aria: Maybe he fools around with students all of the time.
01:12
Speaker A
A lot of teachers do. Just ask your dad. - A Look, I think you're amazing, Aria.
01:19
Speaker A
When I first met you I thought, "Who is nice girl?" I'm still that girl.
01:24
Speaker A
Nothing's changed. Yes, yes, it has. I'm your teacher. I know it's not just me.
01:31
Speaker A
Hey, you feel like this is right for us too. But it's not right. We just can't.
01:40
Speaker A
I'm sorry. For Alison or for being a jerk? Both. Thank you. I would never wanna do anything that would get you in trouble.
01:52
Speaker A
Goodbye Ezra. Can I talk to you? Yeah, of course. I'd like to transfer out of your class.
02:14
Speaker A
This isn't an easy decision. I can keep my feelings in check. I can't. It's too hard to sit in this room every day and call you "Mr. Fitz." I can't pretend like I don't know you.
02:25
Speaker A
Will you sign it? You sure? Yeah, I'm sure. "DECLINED". Aria. Mr. Fitz, hi. This is my mom, Ella.
02:53
Speaker A
It's one of my favorites. Aria's too. She's told us a lot about you. Although you forgot to mention the "you're very young" part.
02:59
Speaker A
- Well... - I... - I just... - We should get going. The movie's starting.
03:04
Speaker A
And you forgot to mention the "really cute" part. Mr. Fitz. Why don't you come sit with us?
03:11
Speaker A
Yeah. Yeah, okay. Good morning. Hi. Hey. Hey. Are you here to ask about the homework assignment?
04:14
Speaker A
Do you have plans this weekend? I'm thinking we should talk about the homework assignment.
04:19
Speaker A
So you do have plans. I don't. What if we met up afterwards? I could tell them I'm going to Noel Kahn's party.
04:26
Speaker A
Maybe you should. Why? So your classmates don't suspect you've lost interest in your peers.
04:31
Speaker A
Too late. Ezra, I want... Hey. Can I come in? I'm not sure if that's a good idea.
04:44
Speaker A
I'm sorry. This was a mistake. I shouldn't have come here. I just didn't know where else to go.
04:50
Speaker A
I'll see you on Monday. No wait. Are you okay? Can we just be here for a minute?
05:14
Speaker A
I spy with my little eye something that begins with F. Hey, Mr. Fitz. There are teachers that you don't wanna see on a bike.
05:20
Speaker A
And there are teachers you do wanna see on a bike. I saw you riding around town the other day.
05:25
Speaker A
Yeah. I saw you too. I waved. I would've stopped, but you weren't alone. My friends thought you had nice legs.
05:35
Speaker A
What do you think? That I was embarrassed. It's a little awkward, under the circumstances.
05:40
Speaker A
Aria, what are the circumstances here? If you know, please tell me, because this is completely new territory to me.
05:46
Speaker A
Yeah, me too. Maybe this isn't smart. I promise you it's not smart. But we need to talk.
05:54
Speaker A
We need to cover what we can't between classes. I'm home tonight. I wanna talk to you when I'm not looking at you over a desk or through Dan Farren's faux-hawk.
06:05
Speaker A
What time? Seven. Seven's good. Do you use this? As a paperweight. What do you think?
06:14
Speaker A
It's nice. Thanks for asking me. You're welcome. Like adults. Like adults? Right. Well, if I'm such a child, why did you ask me here?
06:21
Speaker A
I asked you here because I don't see you as a child. And that's exactly why we need to figure out what's going on between us.
06:29
Speaker A
Okay. I think I made a mistake coming here. I don't think you did. I do.
06:36
Speaker A
It's not something an adult would have done. You think he had a different opinion?
06:41
Speaker A
Jem would've said yes. You're sure? He was brought up right. That Aria made an attempt to understand this book, and you haven't.
06:48
Speaker A
Okay, I have never been so embarrassed in my life. First you complain about me being immature...
06:53
Speaker A
...and then you act like that in class. Like I needed to be protected. What? Were you trying to teach me some kind of lesson?
06:59
Speaker A
Because I totally don't need that from you. And you don't know anything about my parents.
07:04
Speaker A
You don't know them, and you don't know me, okay? Yeah, you're right. I am?
07:10
Speaker A
I really don't know anything about you. You're lucky. My cooking's always better the next day.
07:20
Speaker A
I make really good leftovers. Don't laugh. I'm sorry about what happened in class. I was mad at you for walking out of here.
07:29
Speaker A
It's stupid, but I was. You're right about me. I am a fixer, when it comes to my family.
07:35
Speaker A
Just trying to keep us together and keep things solid. What are you afraid of?
07:39
Speaker A
That things will change. That's not really helping, is it? It's just... It's just trying to keep things frozen.
07:45
Speaker A
It's human nature to try and hold on to things. I have to go. Do you need help cleaning up?
07:53
Speaker A
You could stay. No, I have to go talk to my mom. Hey there. Hey.
08:05
Speaker A
I've been thinking about you. Can you give me an excuse not to go home?
08:09
Speaker A
Extra credit assignment or six-hour detention? I'm sorry, I actually can't stay late today.
08:18
Speaker A
I've got this thing. A reading. Of a story. That I wrote. Can I come?
08:29
Speaker A
You can. But if it sucks... ...I'm going to have to hurt myself, you'd be a witness, it could get ugly.
08:36
Speaker A
You're the teacher, I'm the student, remember? Yeah. Thank you. I thought I'd come get some face-time with the president of your fan club, apparently.
08:54
Speaker A
Really that bad? No, it was beautiful. Didn't know he was gonna be here. You laugh in your sleep?
09:04
Speaker A
That's cute. It's better than snoring. Right. Dude, you are so screwed. It... It's not what you think it is.
09:15
Speaker A
Don't give me that look. It just happened. And that makes it okay? - Hardy, wh...? - Ezra. She's cute, she's smart.
09:22
Speaker A
I get it, no argument. But she's your student. That's not how I met her.
09:26
Speaker A
It doesn't matter. When this is over, she'll get her diploma, you're gonna get a pink slip.
09:31
Speaker A
And an orange jumpsuit. Okay, so how about this. Thanks for this. I'm having fun.
09:39
Speaker A
Yeah, me too. Did Hardy say something? About us? Or about me? No, why would he?
09:44
Speaker A
I was just having fun in a bar with a high school student. Don't make it sound so awful.
09:49
Speaker A
Well, maybe it is. - I mean, if you think about it... - Well, why?
09:52
Speaker A
Was I acting like a high school girl? Did I do anything to embarrass you?
09:57
Speaker A
- No. It's not about that. - Okay. Age is never an issue when we're together.
10:02
Speaker A
When it's just us. But when we're out in the world, people notice. Let's get real.
10:06
Speaker A
In theory, we are a lot more wrong than we are right. You wanna be real?
10:11
Speaker A
Forget about theory. I wanna be with you. I wanna hang out in a bar, introduce you to my friends...
10:17
Speaker A
...split a plate of fries like everybody else. But I don't think we can do that.
10:20
Speaker A
When I'm with you I don't care about anybody else. So are you...? Are you talking yourself into this or out of it?
10:27
Speaker A
Yes. No. No. Maybe. Let's review. Look, we're here now and it's just the two of us.
10:36
Speaker A
And it feels good. So let's not care together. Wait. You sure you have to go?
10:59
Speaker A
Yeah. Yeah. It was so weird when I left home this morning. I'm not sure what I'm gonna walk into.
11:05
Speaker A
I like having you here. Well, I didn't say I wasn't coming back. What if I cook dinner tomorrow?
11:19
Speaker A
Tell me you have a deep pan and tell me I left my phone here.
11:22
Speaker A
You did. What's wrong? Who's A? UNKNOWN Lucky you, Aria! Other girls have to do their homework.
11:25
Speaker A
You get to do the teacher... -- A I don't know. - How many did you tell? - I didn't.
11:29
Speaker A
If A knows, B and C and everybody else does too. You told me you were mature enough to handle this.
11:34
Speaker A
You have to believe me. Well, I don't. Just go. Now. I didn't plan this.
12:00
Speaker A
I already said I believe you. Yeah, but you don't. I do. Nice haircut. I didn't tell anyone about us.
12:08
Speaker A
Let's just drop this, okay? I'm just grateful it ended before one of us got seriously hurt.
12:13
Speaker A
Too late for that. It wasn't a friend who sent that text. So who's A?
12:20
Speaker A
It's someone who's messing with me. Aria, why would someone wanna mess with you? I don't know.
12:24
Speaker A
It's complicated. When you've had enough, I'd be happy to relieve you. Thanks, Miss Welch. I'm fine.
12:31
Speaker A
I was talking to her. I've had enough. Ezra wait. I know it's over. I know that.
12:53
Speaker A
I can't stand the idea of...
13:02
Speaker A
Seeing you out there, out on the dance floor... ...having fun with guys your age...
13:07
Speaker A
...not sneaking around and holing up with me in my apartment. Because I can't take you to the movies.
13:13
Speaker A
I can't take you out to a nice restaurant. I could never hate you. I figured you'd be here tonight.
13:17
Speaker A
My new haircut wasn't to impress Mrs. Welch. I was looking for Mr. Fitz. He's not in. I'm his sub, Ms. Shepard.
13:26
Speaker A
Oh, is he sick? I don't know. Do you know if Mr. Fitz will be back tomorrow?
13:31
Speaker A
I don't. When you need to leave Rosewood... Ezra I just have to ask Mr. Fitz a few homework questions.
14:02
Speaker A
You're back. I never left. I went to New York. Why? I needed to clear my head.
14:07
Speaker A
I spent days thinking about you. I thought about you every second I was gone.
14:13
Speaker A
But I also thought about the consequences. We just can't go back to the way it was.
14:16
Speaker A
Things need to change. Yeah, well, they already have. No wonder Aria talks so highly about you.
14:23
Speaker A
Well, I am grateful to have her in my class. She's very engaged. Good. She's very strong.
14:31
Speaker A
But she puts up a good front. And when she's hurt and wants to shut you out, you could die of frostbite.
14:37
Speaker A
You know, I'm really glad that she has you in her life right now. An adult that she admires.
14:50
Speaker A
What's this? READ PAGE 22 - A I don't know. A wants you to read 22.
14:54
Speaker A
It's a poem by Ezra Fitz. B-26 "It's a number. It's a song. It's a girl." - Can I have that? - Sure.
15:18
Speaker A
I read your poem. "B-26". How could you write these words and feel these feelings...
15:23
Speaker A
...but give up on us so easily? You let me believe that you didn't love me.
15:27
Speaker A
I thought I was doing the right thing. For you. Not for me. That's not true.
15:30
Speaker A
Honestly I don't know which of your stories to believe anymore. But it wasn't my age that ruined us Ezra, you did.
15:36
Speaker A
- Aria, please... - No. I've moved on. You should too. What's going on here?
15:40
Speaker A
Nothing. There is absolutely nothing going on here. I need to see you, Ezra Thanks for meeting me.
15:51
Speaker A
I don't blame you for being angry. I deserve it. I was a coward. I should've fought for you.
16:01
Speaker A
Yeah, why didn't you? I wasn't looking for another job so I could leave you.
16:04
Speaker A
Aria, I was... ...looking for you. I thought that if I resigned from Rosewood... ...we'd have a chance.
16:11
Speaker A
Then I saw you with Noel... and I decided I was being selfish. That if you had a chance at being happy without all the complications that...
16:20
Speaker A
You really are a jerk, Ezra. You can't just go around deciding how things are supposed to work out.
16:25
Speaker A
And you don't get to choose how I feel. I have always been honest with you.
16:28
Speaker A
But you hiding your feelings from me is just like lying. I was wrong. Forgive me.
16:33
Speaker A
No. Forgive me. Mr. Fitz and... Oh, my God. I SEE YOU I didn't see it till this morning.
17:05
Speaker A
This happened last night. I don't know that, neither do you. Aria, it means somebody saw us last night.
17:12
Speaker A
It doesn't mean anything. I couldn't tell anyone. I promised Ezra. How long have you been seeing him?
17:21
Speaker A
Since right before school started. Oh, my God, since Labor Day? I was gonna look for you.
17:28
Speaker A
I'm sorry about the car. You're right. Somebody probably just doesn't like the way I park.
17:33
Speaker A
You are right about there being other people. We have to be really careful. Careful made you unhappy?
17:41
Speaker A
You don't make me unhappy. Totally mess me up and I feel miserable sometimes. If you knew that it would be this complicated, would you have even talked to me that first day in the bar?
17:51
Speaker A
If had left before you walked in we'd have no problems. You'd be a girl that sits one row from the windows and I'd be the new teacher.
17:59
Speaker A
All neat and tidy. Is that what you want? No. Me neither. So we don't go back.
18:09
Speaker A
We go forward. Together. And he hit on you? Yeah, we were talking about writing.
18:15
Speaker A
Yeah, read any good books lately? Hey seriously. I know who wrote that message on your car.
18:23
Speaker A
It was Noel Kahn. Who else knows? Nobody else knows. Look, and he's not gonna tell anyone.
18:30
Speaker A
How do you know that? He promised he'd just forget what he saw. Look, let's not talk about this here.
18:35
Speaker A
Can I come to your place later? What are you asking me to do, Noel?
18:42
Speaker A
Change the grade? Because that's not gonna happen. Hey there. You're not coming over. Why? What happened?
18:51
Speaker A
I had a visit from your friend Noel. Turns out he's not too good at keeping promises.
18:55
Speaker A
Hey. I mean, come on, it's not like things aren't different now. Parties like this must feel like you're babysitting.
19:03
Speaker A
What? I don't feel like that at all. I never should've never told you guys.
19:09
Speaker A
You should've told us a long time ago, when it started. I couldn't. Okay? I swore to Ezra that he could trust me.
19:16
Speaker A
Well, we trusted you too. Right. And now I've blown it with everyone. The English teacher, ...you know, the one that you think is so great,...
19:36
Speaker A
...is having a thing with his student. Accusations can ruin someone's life. And he feels terrible for the girl but...
19:42
Speaker A
...tomorrow, he's gonna tell the principal. What happened today? The hiding, the sneaking around. It's over What you and I have is the most real and honest thing in my life.
19:56
Speaker A
And that's something I hope you remember. I know how you feel about me. And I will not let him hurt you.
20:02
Speaker A
If I resign tomorrow and get the hell out of Rosewood... ...he'll have no reason to tell anybody about us.
20:09
Speaker A
Even though this doesn't look right... ...it has always felt right. And I will not let him change this into something that feels wrong.
20:21
Speaker A
I love you. Okay, that I won't let you do. What? Look at me like this might be the last time you see me.
21:25
Speaker A
- Step aside, please. - Somebody set me up, okay? You have to explain this one, Mr Kahn.
21:29
Speaker A
You have to believe me. You stole the answers to three midterms, Mr. Kahn. I can't imagine ever believing in you again.
21:48
Speaker A
A is for Alison not Amateur. What? A saved my relationship. Mr. Fitz is in, and, Simone, you are booked till lunch.
22:00
Speaker A
If you have time for coffee while in town he would really like to pick your brain.
22:04
Speaker A
He's very single and very handsome. Am I wrong? Is this a bad time? No, no, I just...
22:13
Speaker A
It was impulsive. I should have called. I know that's our deal. I reading one of Simone's short stories.
22:20
Speaker A
You didn't mention you were doing this. Your mother was pretty persistent and I couldn't exactly tell her I was seeing someone.
22:27
Speaker A
Oh, of course. You're okay with this, right? Yeah. Why wouldn't I be? I mean, you should be seen out in public with someone closer to your own age.
22:35
Speaker A
It's just coffee, Aria. No, I know. You should probably go first and I'll count to 50.
22:54
Speaker A
- Hey. - Hey. Do you need your jacket? Thanks. I'll kick her to New York if I have to.
23:03
Speaker A
Aria stop. Before you do something you regret. Spencer, let go of me. It's a train ride away and a 15 minute walk from Penn Station.
23:11
Speaker A
- Thank you. - We need to talk. What's going on? Mr. Fitz... ...will you dance with me?
23:16
Speaker A
What? We're allowed. Come on. Someone's crushing on their English teacher. What the hell was that about?
23:26
Speaker A
Saving your relationship. Five more seconds and you would've ended up on YouTube. That was a suicide mission and you know it.
23:33
Speaker A
She's your age. I can't... I can't compete with that. Nobody's asking you to. Yeah, but it's true. You two even look like a couple.
23:41
Speaker A
I am already in love with someone else. I don't know, I figured that a date out of town...
23:50
Speaker A
...would give us a chance to actually have a date. Yeah. I get it. You guys do kind of have the social lives of shut-ins.
23:59
Speaker A
Hey. Miss Montgomery. What do you think of my work so far? Looks outstanding. Great.
24:30
Speaker A
Hello. Hey. Where are you? You look good. So this is what a real date with Ezra Fitz looks like.
24:43
Speaker A
Damn. The only person I cared about seeing is here. I'm sorry. For a second I forgot I was...
25:06
Speaker A
Not in Rosewood? It's okay. Me too. When I first saw the limo, I thought I was gonna have to ride in the trunk.
25:24
Speaker A
Yeah. I could get used to this. Ready for more culture? Lead the way. Last night...
25:38
Speaker A
Last night was one of the best nights of my life. And you're right, okay?
25:42
Speaker A
Being with Ezra, it's a risk. But he's someone that I'm willing to take a risk for.
25:48
Speaker A
And are you going to meet Ezra? Ezra? Ezra Fitz, her English teacher. Aria's crazy about him and I can see why.
25:56
Speaker A
He's very smart, he's attractive, sensitive. Where are you? What do you mean? I'm right here.
26:01
Speaker A
Oh, my God. Are you in his apartment? Are you on the bed? No. - Hey. - Hey.
26:07
Speaker A
Sorry, it took so long. It's okay. I meet your dad tomorrow. I know. I was thinking this is gonna be a bit more complex...
26:16
Speaker A
...than the usual parent-teacher discussion. You will I like him, he'll like you. Just be your normal incredible self.
26:27
Speaker A
Aria does a great deal of independent reading. Yo can see she's excited by the idea of fiction.
26:32
Speaker A
It's one of the things that makes her a good student. So you're taking my wife out.
26:37
Speaker A
Sorry? I'm not misinterpreting. I'm telling you. Your dad came in like he wanted to chop me off at the knees.
26:42
Speaker A
And I'm telling you that's not my dad. I act like I'm not in love with his daughter.
26:46
Speaker A
He's acting like he wants to challenge me to a duel over your mother. He hates me.
26:50
Speaker A
He doesn't hate you. He hates me or he's crazy. How do you like Mr. Fitz?
26:56
Speaker A
He was okay. I thought he was a lightweight. What do you mean? Well, there's just not a lot of depth there.
27:05
Speaker A
Boy, that's funny, because I like him. He's a good teacher. I can see why he's a hit with the kids.
27:11
Speaker A
I mean, he's a nice.looking guy, he's easygoing. He does that boyish smile thing too much, but that must work for him.
27:17
Speaker A
Well, you were with him like, what, half an hour? I'm in his class every day.
27:20
Speaker A
Well, every English department has one... ...full of charm and promise. It's... I understand that you and your mother see more of him than I do.
27:29
Speaker A
But perhaps that's why I have a clearer perspective. Mr. Fitz, this is Byron Montgomery, Aria's dad.
27:39
Speaker A
Look, I'm sorry about how our meeting went. I owe you a make-good on that.
27:43
Speaker A
I've read your stories and I'd like to talk to you... ...so maybe we could have a beer?
27:47
Speaker A
Give me a call, okay? Thanks. So you want an egg roll? Sounds good. Why don't you audition?
27:58
Speaker A
You kind of have an in with the director. Stop. Is he wearing the tie you gave him?
28:03
Speaker A
Stop. It would be so awesome to hang out with you two after school... ...see you as a couple.
28:08
Speaker A
Yeah, you won't even send us pictures. Pictures? We meet at his apartment. It's not SeaWorld.
28:13
Speaker A
- Surprise. - What...? Hey. What's this? Your newspaper. I don't subscribe. What's up? What are you doing here?
28:25
Speaker A
Nothing. I just wanted to talk to you before school. Because it'd be cool if my dad could see how special you are.
28:32
Speaker A
I want my friends to see that too. And why do we suddenly care what your friends think about me?
28:37
Speaker A
Who's your stage manager? Couple of kids have asked. You'll be spending every day, after school and weekends...
28:42
Speaker A
If I'm stage managing, we can see each other all the time. On campus. Off campus too.
28:48
Speaker A
It'll give us an excuse to finally have coffee outside this little apartment. I love this little apartment. I do. A lot.
28:56
Speaker A
Let me be your stage manager, please? - Part of me says this is a terrible idea. - I'm not talking to that part.
29:02
Speaker A
Say yes, Ezra. Come on, just say it. Say it. Yes. You need help? Oh, no, I'm good, thanks.
29:18
Speaker A
I got it. Thanks. Why don't you hand out the schedules? It's like when we reading Shakespeare...
29:29
Speaker A
...and Ezra talked about the fools and how they can get away with saying... ...things that other people can't.
29:37
Speaker A
Let's jus focus on this play, okay? My daughter thinks that you are pretty hot stuff.
29:48
Speaker A
And you know what? After reading your stories that Aria gave me... ...I have to agree.
29:54
Speaker A
But I gotta say, it's very bold of you, exposing yourself to your students. Come on. You look like you need that beer.
30:06
Speaker A
I love teaching high school. Oh, of course you do. I mean, everybody always loves their first class.
30:12
Speaker A
You bond with them in a special way. But don't forget the same kids that you love are gonna move on.
30:20
Speaker A
You know, time goes by so fast. Aria's already looking at colleges in California. If you taught at the college level you'd have a lot more time for your writing.
30:36
Speaker A
Hey. I'm sorry about slipping up yesterday. But I don't think anyone picked up on it.
30:43
Speaker A
Oh, they did. I'll be more careful. Promise. What'd you two talk about? He offered to help me get a job at Hollis College.
30:52
Speaker A
Why? There's one class available there and it could lead to something more. If I worked at Hollis, I'd have more time to do my own writing.
30:58
Speaker A
So you're planning on leaving here? Maybe eventually. But you are too. Leaving eventually, right?
31:05
Speaker A
We'll be blocking that scene on Saturday. I mentioned that. You didn't. I assure you, Mona, from this point on, Aria will be on top of things.
31:13
Speaker A
Are you still angry at me about yesterday? I'm angry at myself because I knew this wasn't gonna work.
31:18
Speaker A
Fine. But it sounds like you're trying to replace me in other parts of your life.
31:22
Speaker A
Were you talking about your future versus our futture? Because they may not be linked.
31:25
Speaker A
You're looking at colleges in California which you have every right to do. One. I looked at one college in your favorite city. We could move there together.
31:32
Speaker A
College is to broaden your world not pack up your English teacher, bring him with you.
31:37
Speaker A
Is that how you see yourself? No. But you will, when the time comes. It's unforgivable if she'd only thinking of herself.
31:46
Speaker A
Sorry to bother you, but I'm not sleeping tonight until I say this. - Take your coat off. Sit down. - No, no. I'm not staying.
31:53
Speaker A
I signed up for the play for the wrong reasons... ...so I'm officially done. You're right, it was a terrible idea.
31:59
Speaker A
- Aria... - You were wrong too. About the future. We're both here now. Can't we just be happy that we have that?
32:19
Speaker A
The LOVER and the SCORNED are now BFFs. Scared yet? You will be. --A Sorry to interrupt. I can come back later if you're busy.
32:27
Speaker A
I was just leaving. He's all yours. Tonight I was thinking that I would cook instead of take out.
32:34
Speaker A
Sure. Welcome home, honey. Are we celebrating something I'm not aware of? No. You're wearing this dress because...?
32:47
Speaker A
Because I just wanted to hear you say, "wow". I've been leaving messages all morning.
32:53
Speaker A
I know. I've been avoiding you. Why? What's going on, Aria? You're starting to scare me.
33:00
Speaker A
I've been walking around your block... ...for the past two hours. Trying to talk myself out of what I'm about to tell you.
33:06
Speaker A
Because I know if I do... ...there's a chance that you'll never look at me the same again.
33:12
Speaker A
Aria. I try not to look back... ...but if there's anything... ...that I could change in my life, it would be that night.
33:22
Speaker A
I love you. And nothing you just said to me changes that. Thank you for looking at me tonight the same way you did yesterday.
33:36
Speaker A
Thinking of your eyes. How I want to be looking into them right now. This second. XO. Aria I don't think you meant this for me.
33:42
Speaker A
Mom, that, that, was a mistake. So who is it? Somebody I know? No, it's just somebody.
33:51
Speaker A
Really? Doesn't seem like just somebody. Couple of more slips like that text and I'll know all about him.
33:58
Speaker A
Our first coffee together. The night that he read his short story. Okay, I'll give you a catalogue later.
34:06
Speaker A
Just put this stuff in your locker. Hey. Hi. Can we talk about this weekend? The festival?
34:14
Speaker A
- I was thinking... - Oh, God. I am so sorry. Did I do that?
34:19
Speaker A
Sorry. How do you feel about a stay-at-home weekend instead... ...your place, with me? Yeah. What's going on?
34:27
Speaker A
Look, we can just talk about it later. Sure. My classroom, after school. No, we can't. Can we just do this over dinner?
34:34
Speaker A
Sure. So you guys are still texting? Wow. I'd have thought after that thing with your mom...
34:40
Speaker A
He doesn't know that. If he thinks my parents are sniffing us out... ...it'll just make him paranoid, not romantic.
34:57
Speaker A
Meeting's a bit long. You know what? I can't stay. Is something wrong? No, no. We'll talk later, okay?
35:05
Speaker A
Okay. Runaway Bride, Top-Secret Affair, all five seasons of Big Love. I sense a theme here.
35:13
Speaker A
Trying tell me something? Yeah I guess I am. But after I do, you have to tell me something.
35:18
Speaker A
Okay. I saw a photo on your website page of you and Jackie. And I couldn't help but notice how happy the two of you were.
35:27
Speaker A
And, oh, did I mention a ring? She was wearing a ring. I am not coming from some freaky, jealous place, okay?
35:32
Speaker A
I just feel like you know everything about me... ...and I don't feel like you've shared as much.
35:37
Speaker A
I met Jackie my freshman year in the dorm. We saw each other on and off for about two years.
35:44
Speaker A
Good. I need more. She was the first really serious girlfriend I ever had. When we got back together, I proposed.
35:52
Speaker A
You were married? No. No, it never happened. Why did you break it off? I didn't. She did.
35:59
Speaker A
So why hasn't she taken down that photo? I don't know. And what about you?
36:04
Speaker A
Aria that's her photo, not mine. And you've never told me this because... I guess I'm one of those people...
36:10
Speaker A
...that doesn't put things that didn't work out on my résumé. What's bothering you more?
36:13
Speaker A
That old photo being out there... ...or the fact that you and I can't take a picture like that?
36:20
Speaker A
Aria. That was then. You are very much now. Put that over your head. Are you gonna torture me because I gave somebody else a ring?
36:42
Speaker A
We're taking a picture as a couple. You know this is nuts, right? I have to leave.
36:54
Speaker A
Now? Are you coming back? I don't know. I might. I'll call you. Love you.
36:59
Speaker A
Me too. Excuse the mess. I just gave my resignation. Hollis offered me the job.
37:10
Speaker A
You scared the hell out of me. That hurt. I don't care. The cops, the 10 messages you sent, does that ring a bell?
37:16
Speaker A
I'm sorry. I panicked last night. Because the guy was standing in my doorway asking questions about a student.
37:21
Speaker A
Aria, I'm not gonna be your teacher anymore. We can grab a cup of coffee, go to a reading.
37:26
Speaker A
We can live outside my apartment. I'm sorry I punched you. Professor Fitz. So I'll be attending the faculty mixer at your house tonight.
37:39
Speaker A
I'll show you my room. Okey then. Hi, I'm Jackie Molina. I teach at Hollis.
37:48
Speaker A
Excuse me. What were you thinking? It didn't occur to you she'd be there tonight?
38:04
Speaker A
No, it didn't. Aria, I haven't seen her since last summer. I can't help but think that you still have feelings for her.
38:10
Speaker A
There's no reason to keep that from me. She is not a part of my life anymore.
38:14
Speaker A
Yes, she is. She's downstairs having wine with my dad. I screwed up. Not telling me about her was a lie.
38:21
Speaker A
I'm sorry. Until today you were the one guy who had never lied to me.
