1:38:01
Yeah, but I always get so nervous.
1:38:03
Why? There's nothing at stake.
1:38:05
If there was a chance of you
actually getting laid...

1:38:08
then you'd have
a reason to be nervous.

1:38:09
Try working someone in a bar
for three hours...

1:38:11
and then you gotta close the deal
right before last call.

1:38:15
That's pressure. Okay?
1:38:18
You guys can treat this
like it's a warm-up.

1:38:21
You're trying to fiind your style.
So you get nervous?

1:38:24
Maybe you're the nervous guy.
Maybe that's your hook.

1:38:27
So go ahead and blush.
Stutter all you want.

1:38:31
Show her
how she makes you feel.

1:38:33
Think of it. You're combining
honesty and flattery.

1:38:35
- That's lethal.
- Yeah, but...

1:38:37
you can't let a girl know
how nervous you are.

1:38:40
You gotta let her know
you're in control, right?

1:38:44
''In control''?
Who is this guy?

1:38:46
You're in high school. You don't
control any-- Look at your face.

1:38:48
Look at what you're eating,
for Christ's sake.

1:38:51
Look at that shirt.
1:38:53
In control.
1:38:55
All right.
1:38:57
Who's the one you guys
are all desperate to talk to?

1:38:59
Angela.
1:39:01
Defiinitely.
1:39:04
- Angela.
- Okay. Here's what you could say.

1:39:09
Hi, Angela.
My name is-- What is it?

1:39:12
- Darren.
- My name is Darren.

1:39:16
Every time I see you in the hall,
I have the urge to talk to you.

1:39:20
So I try to think
of something clever to say...

1:39:22
but I get so nervous...
1:39:26
that nothing comes out.
1:39:29
We don't know each other right now,
but I'd like to maybe...

1:39:33
invite you out for a soda sometime
so that we could talk.

1:39:36
I'd like to see
what we have in common.

1:39:39
But most of all,
I'm curious to fiind out...

1:39:41
what kind of person
you really are...

1:39:43
because I am tired
of looking at you from a dist--

1:39:46
And so on and so forth.
1:39:48
Take that out for a spin.
See how it works.

1:39:50
Yeah. See her turn around
and walk back to the jock table.

1:39:53
- Yeah.
- If that happens...

1:39:54
you go to sleep
knowing you gave it your best shot.

1:39:56
Remember, she has to
show you something as well.

1:39:59
I'd love it
if Angela showed me something.
