[repeated line]
Carter Davis : Oh hey. You're up!
-
[at the restaurant, Tree burps]
Carter Davis : [smiles] That's... impressive.
Tree Gelbman : That was nothing.
[Tree gives a long fart, then a short fart. Carter looks embarrassed. Tree smiles]
Carter Davis : Did you get it all out?
Tree Gelbman : Whatever. You won't remember it anyway.

[mid-credit scene: Tree wakes up in Carter's bed, her cellphone rings the birthday ringtone, as repeatedly happened]
Carter Davis : Oh, hey, you're up.
[Tree rises, uncertain whether the time-loop stopped]
Carter Davis : I wasn't sure if you wanted to, uh, sleep in or not.
[Tree's heart freezes as she hears the familiar sentence, thinking she is still stuck in the time-loop. She stares at Carter in horror]
Carter Davis : [smiles] I'm kidding. It was...
[Carter shows Tree his cellphone]
Carter Davis : It was me. I just called your phone.
Tree Gelbman : What?
Carter Davis : It's Tuesday, the 19th. You made it.
Tree Gelbman : [relieved] Oh, my God. You are such a jerk!
[Tree stands up, pretends to be angry. She grabs a pillow and playfully beats Carter with it]
Tree Gelbman : I'm gonna kill you!
Carter Davis : Hey, that's not fair.
Tree Gelbman : What is wrong with you? That was not funny! You are such a punk! I hate y...
[they both laugh. Tree lies back in the bed. Carter bends over her, about to kiss her. The door opens. Ryan enters the room]
Ryan Phan : [sighs] She's back?
Carter Davis : Out.
Ryan Phan : [irritated] I'm not sleeping in my car again. It smells like Hot Pockets and feet.
Carter Davis : Get out!
Ryan Phan : I just want clean underwear!
[Carter throws a pillow at Ryan. Ryan quickly exits, closing the door behind. The pillow hits the door, where there is a sign "Today is the first day of the rest your life". Tree and Carter laugh, then kiss lovingly]

Carter Davis : I was never close to my dad. Can't even remember the last time he called me on my birthday. He kinda always forgets.
Tree Gelbman : Yeah. I'm supposed to be with mine. I don't know, I couldn't bear the thought of sitting through another uncomfortable celebration while we both pretend that everything is awesome.
Carter Davis : Are you closer with your mom?
Tree Gelbman : Was.
Carter Davis : What happened?
[Tree does not answer, just looks sadly]
Carter Davis : Oh, she...
Tree Gelbman : Yeah. Three years ago.
Carter Davis : I'm sorry. That-that sucks.
Tree Gelbman : Yeah. We actually share the same birthday, though.
Carter Davis : [smiles] Seriously? That's crazy.
Tree Gelbman : [smiles] You know, when I was a kid, I always got to skip school. We'd go to the beach. My dad would buy us this like huge birthday cake. And put just one candle on it. We'd blow it out together.
Carter Davis : I bet you miss her.
Tree Gelbman : [nods] Yeah.
[pause]
Tree Gelbman : You know, it's funny, you relive the same day over and over again, you kind of start to see who you really are. If my mom saw me now, and who I've become, I don't think she'd be very proud.
Carter Davis : Don't say that.
Tree Gelbman : [sharply] It's true. I'm not a good person, Carter. Maybe it's karma, maybe I deserve it.
[Tree lowers her eyes, saddened]
Carter Davis : Well, look, I don't know you all that well, but... it's never too late to change. I mean, especially if what you're saying is true, each new day is... it's a chance to be somebody better.

[ending scene: Tree and Carter are at the restaurant, watching Danielle's interview on TV. Tree's cellphone rings]
Tree Gelbman : Hey, Dad. Dad.
David Gelbman : Tree, are you okay? Are you hurt?
Tree Gelbman : Dad, no, Dad. I'm fine. I promise.
David Gelbman : Are you sure?
Tree Gelbman : Yeah. Just a little scratched up.
David Gelbman : All right.
Tree Gelbman : Okay. I'll see you soon.
David Gelbman : I love you.
Tree Gelbman : I love you, too. Bye.
[Tree closes her cellphone]
Carter Davis : So, uh, now that your bedroom is officially a crime scene and all, where are you planning on crashing?
Tree Gelbman : [chuckles] Is that an invitation?
Carter Davis : You sure you wanna wake up in the dorm room again?
Tree Gelbman : Only if it's yours.
Carter Davis : Only of course, you'll have to sleep in Ryan's bed.
Tree Gelbman : [smiles] Of course.
Carter Davis : Yeah. We can, you know... oh, uh... I almost forgot.
[Carter takes Tree's bracelet out of his pocket and hands it to Tree]
Carter Davis : You left this little guy.
Tree Gelbman : Thanks.
Carter Davis : Hey, you know what your little scenario reminds me of?
Tree Gelbman : What?
Carter Davis : Uh...
Tree Gelbman : What's that?
Carter Davis : "Groundhog Day". The movie "Groundhog Day"?
Tree Gelbman : [shakes her head] I don't know.
Carter Davis : With Bill Murray?
Tree Gelbman : Who's Bill Murray?
Carter Davis : [surprised] Are you kidding me? "Ghostbusters".
Tree Gelbman : [shrugs] Sorry. I... I don't know.
Carter Davis : How do you sleep at night? You've never seen "Groundhog Day"?
Tree Gelbman : No.

Carter Davis : Whoever's killing you knows it's your birthday. Alright, look - give me a list of everybody who knows it's your birthday and whoever's trying to kill you.

[repeated scene in the beginning of every day: Ryan enters the room he shares with Carter]
Ryan Phan : [to Carter] Dude, you hit that fine vagine or what?
[Ryan notices that Tree is still in the room, and heard what he said]
Ryan Phan : [embarrassed] Oh, I'm... I'm sorry.
[Tree leaves]
Carter Davis : [angrily] Nice one, dickhead!
