Capítulo 11 de 22 · 3'00"
Beavis works up the nerve to ask how you know you're in love, gets called a wuss, and pretends he said nothing. Later he calls the phone's voice assistant, Serena, to confess — "I've never said this to any girl before" — but the signal drops before he can finish, and Butt-Head starts hunting for the missing phone.

Beavis Almost Confesses
Beavis nervously asks Butt-Head how you know when you're in love, then backs off when Butt-Head mocks him. Alone, he reaches the voice assistant on the phone — Serena — and tries to confess, but the connection fails and the call is lost. Butt-Head suspects he's talking to Serena and makes him fish the phone out of the toilet.
The scene plays Beavis's crush as something he can't say out loud. He opens with a question he's clearly rehearsed — "how do you know when you're like, in love?" — and the moment Butt-Head mocks him, he retreats: "never mind, never mind," then invents an excuse to leave. On the phone he gets further, telling Serena "I've never said this to any girl before," and the punchline is that the network drops right as he tries to say the word. What's going on underneath is the gap between the two friends: Butt-Head's rule is that girls are something you "score," not someone you love, so Beavis's confession has to happen in secret, in a toilet, through a voice assistant. The film lets him get close to the words and then yanks them away.

I just want to say, you know, like, um, we were eating some nachos, you know? And I love nachos, you know? And then, um, and then I was thinking about you and me. And I just want to say that I also love, um, I mean-- - I didn't get that. Could you try again? - You know what I'm talking about though, right?
