Charlie summons his courage.      He hands her the mix tape.

                         SAM (CONT'D)
               What's this?

                         CHARLIE
               Just a mix tape. No big deal. My
               parents have a pretty good stereo. It's
               all about that night in the tunnel. I
               couldn't find that song we were listening
               to, but I'm still searching for it, so--

                         SAM
               It's okay. These are great.   You have
               really good taste, Charlie.

                         CHARLIE
               Really?

                         SAM
               Yeah. Way better than me as a freshman.
               I used to listen to the worst top 40.

                         CHARLIE
               No.

                         SAM
               Yeah, I did. But then I heard this old
               song. Pearly Dew Drops Drop. And I
               thought someday I would be at a party in
               college or something. And I'd look up
               and see this person across the room. And
               from that moment, I'd know everything was
               going to be okay. You know what I mean?

                         CHARLIE
                   (devastated in love)
               Yeah.
