I promise you, you will regret that... ...if you don't visit her. (SCOFFS) You'll regret it for the rest of your life. Mom, that's probably true. But honestly, I have a shitload of things to regret right now. I regret not having a date for tomorrow's stupid prom. I regret being too weird to make friends. I definitely regret making all those shitty films with Earl. And I assume you saw the email I got today, from Pitt?

Oh, my God, Greg. I know. Admission rescinded, due to significant change in my academic record. Oh, well, no college next year. I guess I'll just be home, which sucks for you... ...because it's gonna be so hard for you to go through all my stuff. Can you just do me a favor right now, Mom? Just leave me alone. Okay? Just let me sit here and regret stuff. I'm just gonna think about all the things that I've ever done... ...and all the things I haven't done and just regret the living shit out of it. Okay?

GREG'S MOM: All the deadlines have passed, Victor. What's he gonna do next year? He's just gonna waste the year? GREG'S DAD: He is grieving, honey. You have to let him grieve. GREG'S MOM: But I can't just sit by and just let him ruin his life. GREG'S DAD: That's not what I'm saying. GREG'S MOM: Well, he's doing it. GREG'S DAD: The universe does not operate according to a college deadline!

What is up with the arm touching? Are you just being friendly, or is this some calculated maneuver... ...to get me to do whatever you want? 'Cause you have to understand what it does when a beautiful, sexy... ...otherwise thoughtful girl... ...touches the arm of a scrawny, pasty groundhog-faced kid. It's an act of cruelty.
