Ladies and gentlemen,

Taylor, could we get a quote
about how much you adore Yuwen
and how the team would be nothing
without him?

You're Internet famous.
No!
Wow! You caught that. That's really good.
Yuwen, what the

You're just a sad little boy who's picking
on her because you like Laurie!
-(KIDS GASP)
-I never knew
-Wait, how long have they been together?
-That makes sense.
-Classic, picking on the girl you like.
-My mom owns a Dairy Queen.
If you want,
we could grab a Blizzard sometime.

Girl, you know that you love me.
So, you wanna go out, or what?
Yeah, sure.

She loves me!
Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes,
yes, yes, yes. Awesome!
Uh, I think that's my bag.
It's okay.
What movie are you seeing?
I don't know,
Squids and Trucks 7, or something.
Okay, what's the special occasion?
(COUGHS)
Mom.
Why do you smell like that?
Mom. I'm a man now, so I smell like one.
MAMA WANG: Mommy will pick you up at 9:30.
Wow!
I should greet her. Hi, sweet Taylor.
Hey, Yuwen. You look nice.
Oh, wassup, my rad she-bro?
You don't have to front with me.
Just be yourself. (CHUCKLES)
(SCREAMS)
I don't care if you're an octopus.
You're family to me.

(GASPING)
Hey, Taylor, study after school?
-No, thank you. We're busy.
-I can't.
-(GIGGLES)
-So happy for you two!
Not for the championship, or anything.
Maybe by next season?
You really want my help?
I just want, you know, kind of, for fun?
Don't even mention it, I don't
'Cause it's stupid.
No, it's not stupid.
I'm just surprised
you wanna be a catcher.
Don't beat yourself up
if you can't catch my heat at first.
I'm like the best pitcher in the state.
You know, kind of a big deal. Nice catch.
Seriously, Yuwen.
Don't go easy on me, I need to learn.
Huh. Okay. Here comes the airplane.
(IMITATES FLYING NOISES)

-I'm so stupid.
-Wait! Okay.
Okay, wait! I'll throw it for real.
(GASPS)
Whoa.
-Here you go. Thanks.
-Thank you.
TAYLOR: And Ira's been,
like, really struggling.
He keeps hanging out
with the Bleacher Creatures.
-YUWEN: Whoa.
-Yeah, I know.
I just I really worry
about him sometimes.
Don't worry, I'll talk to him.
-Really?
-Yeah, of course.
And done.
Hey, Taylor. Since we're being honest
Always be honest, Yuwen.
I wanna tell you something.
That I am the perfect human being, Yuwen!
-(IMITATING FANFARE)
-Yuwen.
Just kidding. But this is something
that I haven't told anyone,
-not even Kai.
-Okay.
(SIGHS)
(CLEARS THROAT) This Can I trust you?
Absolutely.
(GASPS)
Hi, this is the real me.
(GIGGLES)
Aw! (CHUCKLES)
And this is me.
Um, I do that when I'm nervous.
Taylor, you're amazing!
(BOTH GIGGLING)
(POP SONG PLAYING)
Ooh, get butterflies
every time you're close
Been around the globe,
but I ain't seen this before
It must be paradise
No there ain't no roads,
it's just you and I
Ow! (CHUCKLES)
Make it up as we go,
let's just improvise
The whole world just stops
Thank you.
"X" marks the spot
Oh, my, my, my, this must be paradise
I'm living, I'm living
I can't deny
Shout out to Tay-Tay,
the cutest girl in the school. Whoo-hoo!
-Fastball, again, full speed.

Now, rise ball.
-Changeup!

Curve! Inside. Out.
-Yeah!
-Yes!
-Roar!
-Roar!
-TAYLOR: That was such a good run!
-(BOTH LAUGHING)
This must be paradise
Woo, hoo
(YUWEN HUMMING)
We both love music, and we like skating,
and she laughs at all my jokes.
-Hey, steak or chicken?
-Um, vegetarian?
Ew. Fine. Tay and I like meat.
And we like the city
more than the country,
we want two kids, maybe three.
Jacob, Katherine and Aspen.
Wow, you're, like, a romantic now, huh?
She's lucky to have you.
I'm lucky to have her.
Actually, I'm lucky to have her.
I think I like this Yuwen.
(CHUCKLES)
You're so sweet. Thank you.
Hey, Tay. You dropped your phone.
Screen's good.
-You're so sweet. Thank you.
-TOM: Me?
No, thank you. Uh, it's nothing.
No, really. Thank you.
-Taylor. Can I talk to you for a second?
-(GIGGLES)
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
(TAYLOR CHUCKLING)
Okay, bye.
(GASPS)
-How's everything with your brother?
-TOM: Oh, it's good.
I'm having a hard time
focusing on school, though. It's
I had a brother, too.
Absorbed him in the womb.
There can only be one.
Not now, Yuwen.
I'm here for you if you need anything.
Yeah, it's been really hard,
and I could really use some tutoring.
-That's right, you do.
-Seriously? Is that some kind of joke?
Wow, okay. So, you don't even
have a sense of humor now?
It's okay. I'm just gonna go ask Rochelle.
Listen to me, I just need you
to be serious sometimes.
(SONG PLAYING IN FRENCH)
-Parole, parole, parole
-Écoute-moi
-Parole, parole, parole
-Je t'en prie
-Parole, parole, parole
-Je te jure
Parole, parole, parole, parole, parole
Encore des paroles que tu sèmes au vent
Je te regarde comme pour la première fois
LUCIANA: They should've never been
together in the first place.
Why are they so angry? I don't get it.
-It's the championship.
-So toxic.
I hate conflict.
Taylor says he's insecure.
(ECHOING) Insecure.
TOM: Hey, Tay, you dropped your phone.
-Screen's good.
-Taylor says he's
(ECHOING) Insecure.
TOM: Hey, Tay.
(SCREAMS)
Did Taylor tell you how she wants to take
Rochelle's spot as catcher?
As if she's even good enough.
-Am I right, folks?
-Hey, gang, has anyone seen Rochelle?
I was just with her mom, actually.
Well. Okay,
she's probably just a little late.
So, we will need a catcher. Ooh.
Bup, bup, bup, bup.
-Terrence.
-Oh, no.
-Coach, I'll catch.
-(SIGHS)
Is it possible
that you're better than Rochelle at it?
I'm sorry, never mind.
Hey, Taylor!
Don't get nervous.
You better not puke. (CHUCKLES)
No! No! No!
(COUGHS, CLEARS THROAT)
(CROWD CHEERING)
-I'll see you on the field.
-COACH DAN: On three!
-One, two, three!
-PLAYERS: Pickles!
Ball.
MAN: Come on, let's go!
Hey!
That's not Yuwen, stop!
-I'm serious.
-Try to keep up.
Coach! Coach! We need to change pitchers.
-No! What are you doing?
-TAYLOR: Coach?
I didn't mean
BOY: No!
MAN 1: Just catch the ball. Come on!
I did it!
WOMAN: Where's the good catcher?
MAN 2: This is ridiculous!
That's it. I'm done. We're done.
Grow up!
Please, Taylor! Come back!
Taylor! Where are you going?
We're in the middle of a game.
Yuwen?
Time, Blue! Time! Give me time!
FRANK: I can't stop the play.
(CRYING)
(MELANCHOLY SONG PLAYING)
Guess my skin ain't really thick enough
Not the type
to take a sucker punch real well
I spent my whole life try'na crowd please
Grinning with tears on my cheeks
Funny bone turning' black and blue
Someone must've let the air
out of the room
'Cause now they're laughing so hard
they can't breathe
Ha, ha, ha
Guess the joke's on me
All this talking out my neck
I should respect you more
I threw it all away
Then I went back, made sure
There's a hole in my heart like yours
It was my fault, my fault,
something time can't cure
I know, deep in the abyss I go
We, we're cool 'til it all turned cold
Now I'm thinking it can't be
Ha, ha, ha
Guess the joke's on
Me
Joke is on me, yeah
Me
Joke is on me, yeah
Guess my skin ain't really thick enough
I'm not the type
to take this sucker punch real well
I spent my whole life try'na crowd please
Take a look around,
yeah the joke's on
Me
Wanna run away, but I just freeze
Ha, ha, ha
Yeah, the joke's on me
