The transcript is a dialogue from a character named Tanya, who has a reputation for giving advice that often leads to positive outcomes. She recounts her life, which has been marked by her ability to help others, but also by her own struggles and insecurities. Tanya's father, who was once a successful tech executive, now spends his days watching YouTube videos. Tanya, despite her popularity, feels unfulfilled and uncertain about her future.
Tanya's life takes a turn when she meets Matt, who seeks her help to get his ex-girlfriend back. They form a unique friendship, where they help each other navigate their personal issues. Tanya, initially resistant, eventually accepts Matt's offer to help him with his ex. However, their plan backfires, and Tanya feels used.
Tanya decides to take a stand and ask for help, which she had previously refused. She delivers a speech at school, expressing her feelings and encouraging others to seek help when needed. This speech resonates with many students, who surprise her with gifts and cards.
Tanya reflects on her experiences, acknowledging that she may not always have the perfect advice, but she continues to strive to help others. She realizes that it's okay to not have everything figured out and that she will find her purpose someday. She and Matt decide to hang out as normal friends, instead of as part of a deal.
In the end, Tanya concludes that no one can give perfect advice all the time, but that doesn't mean she should stop trying. She expresses her gratitude to those who have stood by her and reassures herself that she will continue to help others, even if it sometimes fails.
