I invited my foolish friend Jay around for tennis because I thought he'd make me look good.

How the hell are you meant to concentrate on your game?

How are you meant to live your life with this sort of shit going down?

Beg your pardon?

As it's your last night, can I ask you a question?

Well, it's just that Kit Kat warned me that if you were to ever mention it, I should be very firm with you and tell you you must treat me like your sister.

Or have I just made a total fool of myself, and you were actually going to ask me for late night last minute tennis tips?

You should have tried creeping along the corridor while we still had time.

It feels like an ever so slightly insulting afterthought.

But over the last month, I've fallen completely in love with you.

But even if you didn't have a nice face, I'd still adore you.

I just wondered whether, by any chance, you might share my feelings.

Why don't we see how the summer goes, and then you ask me again on my last night?

(Let's) See what happens then, shall we?

All the time travel in the world can't make someone love you.

So the love of my life just drove away.

1. Why did Tim invite Jay to play tennis? Why did his plan fail?
2. Tim says he would still adore Charlotte even if she were ugly. Do you believe him? Why do you think Tim is in love with Charlotte?
3. Tim's father tries to embarrass him at lunch by asking him about Charlotte. Was it funny or cruel? How would you react if your parents did this to you? Have you ever done something similar to your friends (or children)? What happened?
4. Charlotte is clearly not interested in Tim, but she lies to him (twice) to be kind. Is this a good approach, or should she just be honest? How do you deal with these situations?
5. What is the best way to reject someone? Practice with a partner. Try a) lying and being kind AND b) being direct and honest. Which one is easier?
6. What does Tim learn about time travel from his experience with Charlotte? Do you agree with him?
