I love you beth cooper 2009

Forget me, you're on your way We don't have to stay ín touch We may remember someday Tíll then ít doesn't matter that much Someday l'll have to wonder And dreams may cloud the truth But íf you promíse me l promíse l'll never forget you Forget the tears we críed Forget the good tímes too Forget the paín ínsíde You wíll never see her agaín. Dude. after graduation. she'll be gone until like the tenth reunion... ...if you both even live that long. And she'll be so very pregnant by then. baking someone else's DNA. And she'll have this. like. big. pregnant cow grin on her face. She won't even remember who you are. Well. l sat behind her in almost every class. -Behind her. -Shh . Behind her. She never saw you. dude. You don't give this big speech at graduation. you don't exist. No. Denis. if you-- If you don't do this.... If you don't do this.... You'll regret it. Maybe not today. maybe not tomorrow. but soon... ...and for the rest of your life.'' What are you talking about? Come on. it's Casablanca. 1942... ...Michael Curtiz. director. -Bogart. dude! -Shh . Seriously? Bogart. Thank you. Angelica. lt's Angelica. Whatever. Angelica. Thank you for that rousing rendition of ''Forget Me.'' Next. and finally. your valedictorian... ...Denis Cooverman. Today we look forward. Look forward to getting out of here. Heh. heh. heh. But today. l would also like to look back... ...look back on our four years here at Buffalo Glenn High School... ...looking back not with anger... ...but with no regrets. No regrets for what we wanted to do.. . ...but did not... ...what we wanted to say... ...but could not. And so l say here today... ...the one thing l wish l had said... ...the one thing l know l will regret if l never say: l love you. Beth Cooper. He likes you. l have loved you. Beth Cooper... ...since l first sat behind you in Ms. Rosa's math class in the 7th grade. Heh. l loved you when l sat behind you in Señor Weidner's Spanish... ...and Ms. Calumet-Hobey's Literature of the Oppressed. l loved you from behind... ...in Biology. History. and. yes. Practical Science. l loved you. but l never told you because we never spoke. Unbelievable. But now l say it. with no regrets. l love you. Beth Cooper. And so let us all say the things that we longed to say... ...but our tongues would not. Let us be unafraid to admit: ''l have an eating disorder. and l need help.'' Let us confess: ''l'm a stuck-up bitch... ...because deep down. l believe l am worthless.'' Let us declare: ''l'm a big. dumb moron. l'm a big old asshole who beats up on other kids... ...because l was unloved as a baby... ...or was sexually abused or something. l am sorry for the cruel swirlies... ...the pink bellies... ...the purple nurples.'' And let us. no. Iet all of us vow: ''When l graduate. l'm not gonna keep hanging around my old high school... ...like some kind of creepy loser... ...who can't get an adult girlfriend.'' You know who you are. You. And. yes. Iet us not regret... ...that we never told our own best friend: ''l'm gay. dude. l'm totally gay.'' l'm not gay. -Yes. lndeed. Let us all-- Thank you. Denis. Food for thought. Thank you. Thank you. Wow. Perfect. -Whoa. -Oh . -lt's okay. -Sorry. -Sorry. -All right. -Mr. Cooverman. hi. -Hey! Hello. l've never known you to do anything so reckless... ...really at all reckless. Well. thank you. Uh. no. That is not what l would expect... ...from somebody who is going to Stanford. You know one call from me... ...and you could be going to Harper Community College. That would be unimaginable. You can't-- Look. l don't know why l did th-- Who was that? That wasn't me. l was under an influence. -Are you drunk? -What? l just meant my thinking had been compromised. -Look. Rich told me if.... -Rich Munsch? Yeah. l wouldn't take heterosexual advice from Rich Munsch. But he was right. l mean. l had to do something. l'm not there in her brain. She will have no memory of me. So? So? Come on. Dr. Gleason. haven't you ever been in love?
