RYDER: Hi!
JULIA: Um, hi.
RYDER: You're Julia, right? I'm Ryder. Is this seat taken?
JULIA: Um, no.
RYDER: So what are you doing here?
JULIA: Lunch.
RYDER: You know, I thought everyone would be, like, so obsessed with you.
JULIA: Really?
RYDER: Yeah, you know, that's what happens. New kid comes. Everyone fawns over them for a couple of days. They literally can't get enough. [gasps] I know. Are you hiding from your fans?
JULIA: I'm really not. [laughs]
RYDER: So you just don't have any friends.
JULIA: Yeah.
RYDER: Damn, that sucks. Do you want to be my friend?
JULIA: Sure.
[music - Charlie Chan, 'Childlike']
(singing) You with the smile, got me high, got me but I'm a lie. You with the love, with you just I'm a lucky soul.
RYDER: Pay attention.
JULIA: I am paying attention! [laughs]
RYDER: Ugh.
[laughter]
JULIA: --seven days, and we got--
[laughs] No!

RYDER: [groans] I don't wanna.
JULIA: OK. No, seriously. Let's go. Let's--
RYDER: Shh.
JULIA: [giggles]
We were about to make out.
PETER: What?
JULIA: Like-- like, we had this look. Like, a look, look?
PETER: Yes. Julia, I know. Be serious right now. Your girl is leaving today. and frankly, it has been quite painful having to watch you two pine over each other for the past, what, year?
JULIA: Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
PETER: [sighs]
This is your last chance to ask her out. What's the worst she could do, say, no, and leave Sydney forever?
JULIA: Yes!
[sighs]
[background chatter]
Ryder!
RYDER: Jules.
JULIA: Um, I know your train's leaving really soon, so like, I'll be quick. Um-- We've been friends for so long now, and I don't want to keep you in the dark. So I'm gay.
RYDER: Oh, congrats?
JULIA: No. Um-- Like, I'm gay for you? And I totally understand if you don't want to be friends anymore. But I mean, you're leaving Sydney now, forever, and I just felt like I couldn't lie to you, and--
RYDER: No, Jules, I like you, too, not just as a friend.
JULIA: Oh, OK.
[background chatter]
RYDER: My train's leaving soon. I really should go.
JULIA: Wait. Just-- will you be my girlfriend?
RYDER: Yeah, sure.
