[voiceover, writing a love letter on behalf of Jordan] Dear Angela, I know in the past I've caused you pain and I'm sorry. And I'll always be sorry 'till the day I die. And I hate this pen I'm holding because I should be holding you. I hate this paper under my hand because it isn't you. I even hate this letter because it's not the whole truth. Because the whole truth is so much more than a letter can even say. If you want to hate me, go ahead. If you want to burn this letter, do it. You could burn the whole world down. You could tell me to go to hell; I'd go, if you wanted me to. And I'd send you a letter from there. Sincerely, Jordan Catalano.

Brian, did you do something... or something?? What did you do?
I wrote this letter... to her.
Oh my God, and she thinks he wrote it.
It's always tempting to lose yourself with someone who's maybe lost themselves. But eventually, you want reality.
Uh, Delia? Maybe we should, uh, go somewhere sometime?
DDelia
Okay.
You know, like, uh, to a movie or something.
DDelia
I'd like that.
'Cause, um, I, I really think that we'd be good together.
DDelia
Okay, but um, you're gay, right?
Well, I, you know, I, I-
DDelia
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't-
No, it, it, it's okay.
DDelia
That came out so rude.
No, uh, see I, I try not to, um, no, I, I don't like, uh... Yeah, I'm gay. I just don't usually say it like that.
DDelia
And how do you usually say it?
I don't usually say it. I mean, I've actually never said it... out loud.
DDelia
I'm honored.
Uh, Delia, if I were attracted to girls, I'd be attracted to you.
Brian? Brian, look at me. [pause] Um, that letter I told you about...um, Rickie said you wrote it. And I have to know, because...
Know what? There's nothing to know. [pause] OK, what Rickie probably meant is that...see Jordan Catalano asked me to like proofread it for grammatical errors.
You proofread a love letter?!
[pause]
Is this like a game to you?
Um, hardly!
But you admit that you were involved.
I'm not admitting anything.
This is a joke, right? The...the two of you...Oh God. I can't believe I fell for it. It's obviously a total lie!
No, I meant every word. [pause] I mean the person who wrote it meant every word...probably.
[looking at him in a new light] Brian?
I didn't write it!
Brian, you said...
Forget what I said. Forget this whole conversation!
How?
You liked it though right? It made you, like happy?
Yeah.
'Cause that's all that, you know, matters.
To who?
To, you know, the person...who wrote it.
