00:00:00Oh my baby's back home. Hey mom. Hey mom. How are you? I'm good. You look good. Thanks.
00:00:13No dirty laundry? Plenty, but the airline's lost it. It's headed to Tokyo. Sweetheart, I'm sorry. Yeah.
00:00:19Ooh, go shopping! How's dad? Oh, he's dad, you know.
00:00:23I felt like a stranger in a strange land at home. Mom treated me like a three-year-old,
00:00:28and dad obsessed with his hobbies. Hey dad. Good to see you. You look good.
00:00:33So, what would you like to eat? I have all your favorites. It's alright, mom. I'm not that hungry. I'm really tired.
00:00:39I gotta get up early and do the speech. What would you like for breakfast, Cindy? Pancakes or waffles?
00:00:44Waffles would be good. After graduation, I took my toothbrush and a pair of shoes and bailed as fast as I could.
00:00:53But I left one big what-if behind. And I knew that someday I'd have to go back and find out the answer.
00:01:04Hello. Where are you? I'm in my bedroom. Oh dear. Hold on one second. I don't get very good reception.
00:01:12I've read your handbook on heartbreak five trillion and two times. I know this is a painful place for you to be right now.
00:01:17Right here. I'm your manager. Okay, you call me ASAP. If there's anything Javier can do, I can be there in less than 24.
00:01:23Alright. I gotcha. Alright, Javier. I'll talk to you soon. Bye-bye. Okay.
00:01:36Hey, did you listen to John Todd in the morning? K-R-A-C-N-E-8.1, the home of...
00:01:48...
00:01:56Girls were a mystery to me. I didn't know how to smell, or what to say to them, or how to dress for them.
00:02:03The girls weren't a guy with boxers or tighty-whities. I stuck to the tighties for comfort.
00:02:08I mean, my body was still changing and my testicles wouldn't drop like the other guys in gym class.
00:02:13Then I discovered Lionel. He was cool and knew things about women, secret things.
00:02:20Lionel said things like, you mean more to me than words can ever say, and you are the rain that makes my life this foolish game.
00:02:27I studied him. He became my crash course in getting laid.
00:02:37Morning.
00:02:39I'm bringing sexy back.
00:02:44K-R-A-C-E-88.1.
00:02:47Alright, hey, let's welcome to the studio live this morning, our local talent best-selling author, Henry McCarthy.
00:02:54Let's talk about your book, How Lionel Got Me Laid.
00:02:57Folks, I gotta tell you, this is a serious look at high school heartbreak here.
00:03:01Hey, how about that girl in your book, Lauren, the cheerleader? Was she a real heartbreaker?
00:03:05You can't name names.
00:03:07You think she read the book?
00:03:09I would be surprised.
00:03:11Hey! Thanks a lot, Henry.
00:03:14Listen, we'll be right back with a pause here for station identification.
00:03:17K-R-A-C-E-K-R-A-C in the morning. Be right back with John.
00:03:19John, you know who it is.
00:03:23I think I'll have the T-bone steak and eggs.
00:03:27Well, that's it.
00:03:30And the strawberry pancakes. Just a short order.
00:03:33And no whipped cream.
00:03:35Light on the whipped cream.
00:03:37Is that it?
00:03:39No, hold on a minute.
00:03:40Three vegetables, please.
00:03:42I'm not gonna eat all of it, just...
00:03:45Is that Mike Miller?
00:03:46Mm-hmm, it is.
00:03:47I don't think he recognizes us.
00:03:48No, he knew who you were.
00:03:50He's been here for two years.
00:03:52Stephanie Reed works at Bank of America, and Josh Williams works at the Duffy's Dry Cleaning.
00:03:57You're so wrong, man.
00:03:58You'll see the entire class of 88 scattered around and littered throughout Rockville.
00:04:04If you see somebody in the grocery store, they won't even look you in the eye.
00:04:08It's as though you share some dark, dank, deep little secret.
00:04:11And as long as you don't register the other person's existence,
00:04:14then you're not losers for not leaving and doing something more profound with your lives.
00:04:18It's just embarrassing, it is wrong, it is self-hating, and Big Girl will have none of it.
00:04:24What about, um, Scarlett Smith?
00:04:29What?
00:04:31Oh, come on. No, no, no. No, no, no, no, no.
00:04:35I'm just asking.
00:04:37You poor, sad little creature. No, no, no, no. You may not do that. No.
00:04:44Forget about it.
00:04:45Yes, I will forget it, and that's exactly what you should do. Forget it.
00:04:48Forget it, Henry.
00:04:51Forget I asked.
00:04:58This is our high school.
00:04:59What happened?
00:05:00Gone. They tore it down.
00:05:03Didn't want it to serve as a reminder of all the lives it ruined.
00:05:05Come on, let's go.
00:05:06Oh, I'm not going in there.
00:05:08Oh, no, sir.
00:05:10That, my dear friend, is a teenage torture chamber.
00:05:12I wouldn't go back in there if you paid me a million dollars.
00:05:15Wish me luck.
00:05:16Forty-five minutes.
00:05:17Is that good?
00:05:18Forty-five?
00:05:19Forty-five.
00:05:20Pull your pants up.
00:05:31That's mine now.
00:05:37What's that?
00:05:38Use your imagination.
00:05:40Let's go.
00:05:47It's a pen.
00:05:51Stop talking. Take the line over. Let's go.
00:06:01Henry!
00:06:03Principal Marshall.
00:06:04Good to see you.
00:06:05Good to see you, too. Thank you for having me.
00:06:07Well, you know, when they told me, uh, we have an alumnus who's a best-selling author,
00:06:11I knew right then and there you're the man for the commencement speech.
00:06:13Forgive me, I haven't read any of your books, but, yeah, you're the prime example
00:06:18of what a student can do with his or her life after he or she graduates from his or her high school.
00:06:25You are a winner. I always knew you'd do well. You're a winner.
00:06:28And these students need a winner to tell them how to be a winner.
00:06:31Yes, they do.
00:06:33Feel free to use any of the facilities here. Of course, the library, the cafeteria, the gym.
00:06:40Okay.
00:06:41Whatever you need to connect you in some way in the commencement.
00:06:44Okay, so would there be any parameters or guidelines you'd want me to follow?
00:06:48Well, profanity's out. We really don't want to offend anybody.
00:06:51I wouldn't use the word shit or penis.
00:06:56But, yeah, as I say, we just don't really want to offend anyone.
00:07:00No, we don't.
00:07:01No.
00:07:02Hey, there's something else I forgot. Here are some sample speeches, some of my all-time favorites.
00:07:07Okay.
00:07:08Yeah.
00:07:09These ones.
00:07:10Be good to look at, yes. I mean, think Gettysburg. Think Martin Luther, Can't We All Get Along?
00:07:15Or, you know, Bette Midler, Wind Beneath My Wings.
00:07:18Okay.
00:07:19Whatever she needed. And whatever invigorates you.
00:07:22You just go with it, invigorate, energize our students.
00:07:25Make them feel confident. Make them feel, I want a higher education.
00:07:29Of course.
00:07:30By the way, the senior class committee will be in charge of the schedule and events.
00:07:35So I want you to meet with them after you see me. And you're seeing me.
00:07:39They're in room 502.
00:07:52I understand you all have other obligations and commitments, but this is a crucial time for the senior class committee.
00:08:02Oh, Mrs. Loach.
00:08:05May I help you?
00:08:06Principal Marshall sent me over here.
00:08:08Please take a seat. I will see you after class.
00:08:11Now, everyone needs to volunteer, give up a little bit more time.
00:08:15Your families are well aware of how important this is for you.
00:08:18Now, wouldn't you like to head up one of these committees?
00:08:20That has to go to the yearbook publishing company. And, um...
00:08:24Shasta.
00:08:28Pay attention. Thank you.
00:08:35I will need to review your speech prior to the graduation ceremony.
00:08:39Reason being?
00:08:41To assure the faculty and student body that your speech is sufficient while meeting the necessary requirements.
00:08:46And if it doesn't?
00:08:48And if it doesn't?
00:08:50We don't need to venture into that territory this early.
00:08:53It seems we already have.
00:08:55Oh, Liza, we have seen some times together, haven't we? Yes, we have.
00:08:59There's big girl. Who's your daddy?
00:09:01Yeah.
00:09:03I don't know why they call it a bra. Looks like a G-string to me.
00:09:07What happened?
00:09:09Don't even ask. She just walked through a thousand memories.
00:09:11I told you.
00:09:12It doesn't matter. They tore our school down. It's all there.
00:09:14I told you.
00:09:16You managed to get out of there the first time.
00:09:19You may not be so lucky this time.
00:09:22I'm just trying to reprocess these memories here. It's all be fine.
00:09:26I told you. That place ruins people's lives. That's its sole function on planet Earth.
00:09:31I know. I told you.
00:09:33You know what? When big girl talks, big girl means it.
00:09:35You see the kimono? The kimono means I'm right.
00:09:37You have to listen to me. Listen to the kimono.
00:09:40Reprocess. Your stupid game is reprocessing.
00:09:42What does that mean, anyway?
00:09:44Reprocess your feelings on wheat toast with mayo.
00:09:47I told you.
00:09:49Memories.
00:09:54Would you like a drink?
00:09:56No, I'm good.
00:09:58Okay.
00:10:05So how was school?
00:10:08You know, school...
00:10:14I don't know what I'm going to write that's going to even inspire these kids.
00:10:18Let me see. Let me see. Just flipping through my yearbook.
00:10:22Oh, the old yearbook. Who else is in there?
00:10:25Yeah. Yeah.
00:10:31Scott, thank you for being you and sweet and...
00:10:37Huh?
00:10:39Call me this summer.
00:10:41Scarlett Smith.
00:10:43Scarlett Smith? Ooh!
00:10:46You mean, I'm so in love, I don't know what to do unless...
00:10:50That's Scarlett Smith?
00:10:52Are you done?
00:10:54Call her. Call her!
00:10:57No.
00:10:59Do it!
00:11:01That was 19 summers ago.
00:11:03I told you you lost track of time.
00:11:05Yeah.
00:11:07Come on, dig deep.
00:11:09Yes! England! Attaboy.
00:11:11All right, what's her number?
00:11:13Ooh, she is a cute little wafer.
00:11:15There you go.
00:11:17Ready?
00:11:18869...
00:11:22Do you want me to get that, Mom?
00:11:24If it's Brad, I'm not here.
00:11:27Is this it?
00:11:29I'm going to have to dump it so I can find...
00:11:31Hello?
00:11:32Oh. Yeah. Um...
00:11:37Hello?
00:11:38Oh!
00:11:40What'd you do that for?
00:11:41Because I shouldn't be calling her.
00:11:43No, no, no, no, no.
00:11:44Just don't call her.
00:11:45I'll call her for you.
00:11:46Just let me call her for you.
00:11:48Give it to me. I'll call her.
00:11:49Yes! That's my man.
00:11:51Hey, you just need to loosen up.
00:11:53That's what I'm talking about.
00:11:55What's her number?
00:11:56I'll get that.
00:12:01Listen, freak! It's over!
00:12:05No deal!
00:12:07What? Too harsh?
00:12:09Hello?
00:12:10Is Scarlett there?
00:12:12Um, who is this?
00:12:14This is, um, Henry, uh...
00:12:16Henry McCarthy. Who's this?
00:12:18Um, this is her best friend of 30 years, Darcy.
00:12:21What the...
00:12:22Henry McCarthy?
00:12:24High school?
00:12:26Oh, yeah, I was just, um...
00:12:28I was flipping through my yearbook, and, uh...
00:12:30What she'd written in the yearbook, uh...
00:12:33You're a great, sweet guy, and, uh...
00:12:35You better call me this summer.
00:12:36That was with, uh...
00:12:37One of those exclamation, like, you're screaming thingies kind of thing.
00:12:40Okay, well, she has no idea who you are.
00:12:42She doesn't.
00:12:44Get your yearbook.
00:12:45She doesn't remember anything.
00:12:46Hold on one second.
00:12:48If you turn to pages in your yearbook,
00:12:50can you turn to pages 12, 132...
00:12:52Okay, well, we'll have to take a look.
00:12:53Get your yearbook.
00:12:54I don't think I even have it anymore.
00:12:57There's a...
00:12:58It's 132.
00:12:59There's a pretty good picture of me there also.
00:13:01But it's not listed.
00:13:02Okay, great.
00:13:04Okay, well, listen, Henry, she doesn't have it right now.
00:13:06She can't find it.
00:13:07What?
00:13:08Uh, no, it's not like it's sitting on her nightstand
00:13:10next to her retainer underneath her unicorn poster.
00:13:13All right, if you just tell her that, uh, Henry McCarthy called...
00:13:17Okay, I'm gonna get off the phone now, Harry,
00:13:19but thank you so much for your interest.
00:13:20Bye.
00:13:21That's all right.
00:13:22All right, bye-bye.
00:13:25This is so weird.
00:13:26I don't know, but he's in love with you.
00:13:29I'm so weak.
00:13:31Are you serious?
00:13:34That sucked.
00:13:37You did what?
00:13:38I called Scarlett Smith.
00:13:39Well, we did.
00:13:41You did not.
00:13:42We did.
00:13:43I can't eat.
00:13:45I can't eat.
00:13:46Yeah.
00:13:47You're a man.
00:13:49Please, let it go.
00:13:52Stop being such an enabler.
00:13:53He has nothing to...
00:13:55He has nothing to gain either.
00:13:57Look, I was just wondering what she's up to.
00:13:59I'm sure she was wondering the same thing about you.
00:14:01Yes, she was.
00:14:02Let it go.
00:14:03Let it go.
00:14:05Let it go.
00:14:06And it made me proud.
00:14:08Self-destructive.
00:14:09She rendered me down to the geek.
00:14:11I can two seconds flat.
00:14:12I mean, that's some serious power, dude.
00:14:14That's the first thing you've said that I absolutely agree with.
00:14:16Rendered you a geek means that you're not a geek now.
00:14:19You are, in fact, still a geek.
00:14:21Let it go.
00:14:23Let it go.
00:14:24You do not need that in your life.
00:14:26All right?
00:14:27Smoking crack is easier on your heart.
00:14:28Have some syrup.
00:14:31I'm just going to take one good look at that yearbook photo.
00:14:34And remember what she doesn't remember, man.
00:14:36That's positive thinking.
00:14:37That is the power of positive thinking right there.
00:14:40I found it.
00:14:41I got the yearbook.
00:14:43Please.
00:14:44Thank you very much.
00:14:45Here you go.
00:14:47Color works on you, bub.
00:14:50You find him?
00:14:51Was he hot?
00:14:53McCarthy.
00:14:54You know him?
00:14:55We had chemistry.
00:14:56You had chemistry with him?
00:14:57We had chemistry class.
00:14:59He was such a sweet guy.
00:15:00He always tried to help me.
00:15:01No, he was taking advantage of your lack of intelligence.
00:15:03That's how geeks work.
00:15:05Oh, I feel bad now.
00:15:07Are you kidding me?
00:15:08There's like a thousand reasons why you forgot him.
00:15:10Looks like something from the old days.
00:15:11Like my dad.
00:15:12Yes.
00:15:13You're not going to call him back?
00:15:15I can call.
00:15:16I mean, he probably thinks I'm a total bitch.
00:15:18Well, you are.
00:15:19Baby, come on.
00:15:21Hey, what would happen if I took one of these right now?
00:15:23Evil leakage.
00:15:24Peace.
00:15:30Already ditching, huh?
00:15:33Oh.
00:15:34Shasta O'Neil.
00:15:35Senior class committee.
00:15:37Shasta.
00:15:40You weren't in class today.
00:15:42Didn't do my homework.
00:15:44Oh, that is not good.
00:15:47Um, I figured if I came in here, I'd probably get better insight into the classroom.
00:15:52And?
00:15:53As far as I can tell, your library is still the sanctuary for the social media.
00:16:01Get down!
00:16:02Get down!
00:16:03Come on, you know the drill.
00:16:04Get down!
00:16:07Get down!
00:16:11Are we supposed to leave with a fire alarm?
00:16:13It's not a fire alarm.
00:16:14It's a crisis alarm.
00:16:16A crisis alarm?
00:16:18Yeah.
00:16:19Someone could be on campus with a gun.
00:16:21Oh.
00:16:22Relax.
00:16:23Nobody has a gun, okay?
00:16:25It's just a drill.
00:16:27Oh.
00:16:28How often do you guys do this drill?
00:16:30A couple times a week.
00:16:32Oh.
00:16:33Lovely.
00:16:43Hello?
00:16:44Oh, I'm sorry.
00:16:45Is this too late to call?
00:16:46This is Scarlett Smith from high school.
00:16:49Yeah.
00:16:50Scarlett.
00:16:51Scarlett?
00:16:52Hello?
00:16:53Um.
00:16:54No, it's alright, Dad.
00:16:55I got it.
00:16:56It's for me.
00:16:57It's a little late for both.
00:16:58Dad, it's a girl.
00:16:59Come on.
00:17:00Hey.
00:17:01Hi.
00:17:02How are you?
00:17:03I'm...
00:17:04My life's just a little bit crazy right now.
00:17:06I'm in the middle of moving.
00:17:07I'm sort of in the middle of everything.
00:17:10It's good to hear from you.
00:17:12I'm temporarily living with my mom right now.
00:17:15And, uh, so I'm dealing with that too.
00:17:19Ah.
00:17:20Henry McCarthy.
00:17:21How are you?
00:17:22Good.
00:17:23Good.
00:17:24How are you?
00:17:25It's good to hear from you.
00:17:26And then I saw her.
00:17:28Lauren Landers.
00:17:29And something extraordinary happened.
00:17:32Now, even though we'd gone through grade school together
00:17:34and she'd never noticed me,
00:17:35suddenly, she had blossomed into a woman
00:17:38and from that point on, she haunted my every moment.
00:17:42She's what?
00:17:43One day in the middle of our junior year,
00:17:44Lauren bumped into me in the hallway.
00:17:46I felt the feel on my lower arm near the elbow.
00:17:48It was lightning.
00:17:50Tomorrow night, 7.30?
00:17:53Yeah, that sounds great.
00:17:55That sounds fun.
00:17:56That's perfect.
00:17:57All right.
00:17:59She walked away and I stood there like an idiot,
00:18:01whispering to myself,
00:18:03Lauren.
00:18:05I wondered, so is this what love feels like?
00:18:09It's me.
00:18:24Hello?
00:18:25Henry, wake up, it's Javier.
00:18:26Hold on, I don't get reception.
00:18:29Hold on.
00:18:31I have some news.
00:18:32Hey, man, are you okay?
00:18:34Henry, I need to talk to you.
00:18:37Guess what? Great news! A major studio wants an itsy-bitsy option on your book.
00:18:42I doubt it's itsy-bitsy, but...
00:18:44The only thing is they tested the name of the book, and they want to update the title from Lionel.
00:18:48What would they want to do? What do they want to change it to?
00:18:50They want to go with something more modern, like Linkin Park.
00:18:53Linkin Park. I don't think Linkin Park gets you laid, but...
00:18:57I guess women 15 to 25 tested best to Linkin Park, and males 15 to 35 seem to like it hands down.
00:19:02Ew.
00:19:03Hello? Henry? Trust me, remember you wanted to tell your last book my testicles were the last to drop?
00:19:08And I said I know you went through that, but that's not a great name, remember?
00:19:11I doubt Linkin Park gets you laid.
00:19:12Of course they do!
00:19:13Do they get you laid?
00:19:14Great, I'll tell them you agree.
00:19:16You treat Desiree nice, she'll treat you nice.
00:19:34She does like to be manhandled now and again.
00:19:40I'm not going to take her anywhere you don't want her to go.
00:19:44She needs to get out and get socialized.
00:19:48Damn it. If you'd like, if it makes you feel more comfortable, I'll just rent a car, it'd be easier.
00:19:53No, no, no, no, no, this is caviar on the hook.
00:19:56Okay.
00:20:00Oh dear, she's already making me break out.
00:20:06Let's have a little look here.
00:20:08My God, what is that, your parasitic twin? I think I see an arm.
00:20:12Okay, good, ladies.
00:20:13Come on, some privacy, please. This isn't a tourist attraction.
00:20:16Let's have a look here.
00:20:20Okay, ladies, I'm going to need a cold compress, some herbal tea, a nice light foundation, and a donut.
00:20:28Donut?
00:20:30It's for me, I know, I know.
00:20:32Come on, what are you going to do?
00:20:34Well, not much at this point. It's subterranean.
00:20:37I mean, we could attack it, but the outcome would be disastrous.
00:20:40I mean, we're talking a seven-day war that the world would notice.
00:20:44This is scarlet-related, stress-related.
00:20:47I've got to do something, what can I do?
00:20:48Relax. Do you like little Tibetan bells or little whale sounds?
00:20:54Let's go, cold compress!
00:20:57Senior year, somehow I had the karmic good luck of sitting beside Lauren in chemistry class.
00:21:01But all I could say to her was, would you like some help dissecting that frog?
00:21:07Henry?
00:21:08Scarlet?
00:21:09Hey.
00:21:12This is really weird, huh?
00:21:13No, I don't. I just, I keep thinking about Henry from chem and, you know, like a kid, and I'm sitting across from you.
00:21:24I'm just getting used to it, you know?
00:21:27That bad?
00:21:28No, no, no, it's just, you know, Henry from class is, and you're now, you're this, you're a man with facial hair.
00:21:37Facial hair and beard.
00:21:39Yeah, that, that just happened, like, I just.
00:21:44You still look the same.
00:21:46Is that good or bad?
00:21:48You're really pretty.
00:21:51That was awkward, huh?
00:21:55I'm a pharmacist.
00:21:56That's good.
00:21:57It's depressing handing out antidepressants.
00:21:59It's all right.
00:22:00I can spin it, though.
00:22:01Okay.
00:22:02I've been a small-town drug dealer for the past ten years.
00:22:05I don't feel like I'm where I should be, you know?
00:22:07Yeah, well, we all kind of ain't where we think we should be, but, you know.
00:22:12Well, you've clearly done something as you do the commencement speech.
00:22:16Yeah.
00:22:17I, um, I read a few books.
00:22:19You write books?
00:22:21Well, if people actually read it, it would maybe mean something.
00:22:24I'm sure you have many fans out there who read your books, and I would like to be one of them.
00:22:29So, I'm going to get it. Where do I get it? Where do I get it?
00:22:32I'll get you a copy.
00:22:33No, I want to buy it with my own money.
00:22:35I want to buy it.
00:22:36All right.
00:22:37Now, bookstores have it.
00:22:38They'll have the most recent copy.
00:22:40Okay.
00:22:42It was good to see you.
00:22:44It was really good to see you, too.
00:22:47Bye.
00:22:48Bye-bye.
00:22:52So, what's the name of your book?
00:22:54Uh, How Lionel Got Me Laid.
00:22:57Oh.
00:22:58Okay, just a moment.
00:22:59Um, who's Lionel?
00:23:01Who's Lionel?
00:23:03Richie.
00:23:04As in Dancing on the Ceiling, Lionel Richie?
00:23:06Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:23:07Lionel Richie Got Him Laid.
00:23:08I don't...
00:23:09Perhaps.
00:23:10Maybe I have to read it.
00:23:11Wow.
00:23:12Sounds like a winner.
00:23:13Um, the book is in aisle E, and that's alphabetical by author.
00:23:19Okay, fess up.
00:23:20Nothing happened.
00:23:21No, you are smiling like either he was really cute, or you're totally embarrassed you even went on a date with him.
00:23:26It wasn't a date.
00:23:27Oh, come on.
00:23:28I will not tease you, I promise.
00:23:30He was bald and fat, right?
00:23:31No, he was...
00:23:32What, mustache?
00:23:33He was okay.
00:23:34Was he wearing pleated jeans?
00:23:35He was okay, really.
00:23:36See, he was one of those, like, weird divorced guys with, like, 18 kids.
00:23:38He was okay.
00:23:39Oh.
00:23:40Well, he must have been pretty okay if you're willing to invest in this relationship.
00:23:43I'm not...
00:23:44I wouldn't...
00:23:45You are buying his book.
00:23:46I would never read something for a guy.
00:23:49Ooh, got it.
00:23:51Bingo, author's photo.
00:23:53Let's see what okay looks like.
00:23:55Does that really matter?
00:23:56Uh, yeah, it's the only thing that matters.
00:23:58Do you want to dilute your gene pool?
00:23:59Well, betting it all on looks got me living with my mother at 36 years old.
00:24:04Please, I love your mother.
00:24:05Wait a second.
00:24:06Is this him?
00:24:08Yeah.
00:24:09Yes.
00:24:10Are you sure?
00:24:11Yeah.
00:24:13Well, he is actually kind of cute.
00:24:16I know.
00:24:17Huh.
00:24:18I wonder what other geeks got hot after high school.
00:24:30You're so pretty.
00:24:32Oh, your pretty blonde hair.
00:24:33Oh, you're so pretty.
00:24:34Why can't Scarlet be 500 pounds with five fat kids and then all would be fine?
00:24:40All would be wrapped up.
00:24:42Life would go on.
00:24:44Why can't that happen?
00:24:45World peace depends on it, my friend.
00:24:48I'm going to act like that made complete sense.
00:24:53Beautiful.
00:24:54Nice choice.
00:24:56Henry.
00:24:57Hey.
00:24:58Hey, Shasta.
00:24:59Hi.
00:25:00Hey, how are you?
00:25:02Good morning, Mr. McCarthy.
00:25:04May I see your speech?
00:25:06I'm still working on it.
00:25:09Is there a problem?
00:25:10Indeed, you do have a problem.
00:25:12As stated before, I, the faculty, and the committee will need sufficient time to review your speech.
00:25:17Without our review, it is highly unlikely you will be able to deliver the speech.
00:25:20That being said, when can we expect to see something, Mr. McCarthy?
00:25:24As soon as I do.
00:25:49Hi.
00:25:50Hey, Scarlet.
00:25:52What are you doing?
00:25:53What are you doing?
00:25:55Just seeing what you're doing.
00:25:57Oh, the speech.
00:25:59Just trying to get it going.
00:26:02Oh.
00:26:03How's it going?
00:26:05It's not going.
00:26:07Well, how about a distraction?
00:26:09I could use that.
00:26:10I could do that.
00:26:13Meet me out front.
00:26:15Oh, okay.
00:26:18I want to know who this Lionel guy is.
00:26:20Hey, hey, hey, hey!
00:26:22Oh, it's a school night.
00:26:24Don't, don't...
00:26:25I'll be back later.
00:26:29To Mrs. Looch, who's looking for any reason to crap on me.
00:26:32Mrs. Looch.
00:26:36How can we call Mrs. Loochdenberger Mrs. Looch?
00:26:39Say her last name.
00:26:41Loochdenberger.
00:26:42Loochdenberger.
00:26:44Looch.
00:26:45Yeah, like, Loochdenberger.
00:26:47Looch.
00:26:48Looch.
00:26:49Loochdenberger.
00:26:50Loochdenberg.
00:26:51Yeah, see?
00:26:52Did you not have a Looch ready to hock?
00:26:53Totally.
00:26:54Why did you do that to me?
00:26:55That's so gross.
00:26:57That's where she gets her name.
00:26:58Right there.
00:27:00She's still trying to fail me.
00:27:02Gotta let it go, Henry.
00:27:04Those who can, do.
00:27:05And those who can't, turn into Mrs. Looch.
00:27:12I think you could try, if that's what you mind.
00:27:14Yeah, I'll try.
00:27:15Hold on, watch it.
00:27:16All I need is a DUI.
00:27:20Oh.
00:27:21Get any more lights on that car?
00:27:22Yeah, it's Brad.
00:27:23Oh, God.
00:27:24Me Brad?
00:27:25Your Brad?
00:27:26No, my ex Brad.
00:27:27Is he aware of that?
00:27:28Ah, well, you know, he has a disability.
00:27:29He doesn't hear things that he doesn't want to hear, so.
00:27:30Can you lose him?
00:27:31Why?
00:27:32Yeah, just, trust me.
00:27:33If you can lose him, do it.
00:27:34Wait, then you're gonna kick my ass?
00:27:35Yeah.
00:27:36Oh, my God.
00:27:37Oh, my God.
00:27:38Oh, my God.
00:27:39Oh, my God.
00:27:40Oh, my God.
00:27:41Oh, my God.
00:27:42Oh, my God.
00:27:43Oh, my God.
00:27:44Oh, my God.
00:27:45Oh, my God.
00:27:46Oh, my God.
00:27:47Oh, my God.
00:27:49You know what?
00:27:50He says he wants to just sit down and have a tea party and shoot the breeze, about,
00:27:53the great times we had in high school.
00:27:55Oh.
00:28:01Okay.
00:28:03Did we lose him?
00:28:04I don't think so.
00:28:05I think we lost him.
00:28:06Ah!
00:28:08Hold it right there, driver.
00:28:09Hands with where I can see them.
00:28:10Nice and easy.
00:28:11Get out of the car.
00:28:12Come on, come on.
00:28:15Hands on the hood.
00:28:16Yes, take it easy.
00:28:18Oh my goodness.
00:28:20Going a little fast, don't you think?
00:28:22Sorry, officer.
00:28:24You know, this is a school zone through here.
00:28:26You know what the speed limit is, don't you?
00:28:28Uh, 25.
00:28:30Been drinking tonight?
00:28:31No, sir.
00:28:32You sure about that?
00:28:33Yes.
00:28:34New York, it figures.
00:28:39What the hell, McCarthy?
00:28:40Bird!
00:28:41Yeah!
00:28:42Come on!
00:28:44You look good!
00:28:45Thanks!
00:28:46Wow!
00:28:47Didn't recognize me dressed like a pig, huh?
00:28:48Well, it's, um, your...
00:28:49Yeah?
00:28:50Yeah, I dropped a couple pounds.
00:28:51I'd say more than...
00:28:52Like two, maybe.
00:28:53Too pity.
00:28:54Had the surgery done.
00:28:55No more deep dish pizzas for me.
00:28:57I was gonna shoot you there, man.
00:28:59That was intense.
00:29:00Glad you did.
00:29:01Who's your buddy here?
00:29:05Hey!
00:29:06That's, uh...
00:29:07Scarlett Smith, isn't it?
00:29:08Yeah.
00:29:09Scarlett.
00:29:10Right on.
00:29:11Um...
00:29:12You got Scarlett Smith in your car?
00:29:14Yeah, she were just...
00:29:15Dick!
00:29:16Yeah.
00:29:17Isn't she with, um...
00:29:18Brad now?
00:29:19I think...
00:29:20Hey, I ain't saying nothing.
00:29:21You sleeping with her now?
00:29:23No, no, no, no.
00:29:24We're just talking.
00:29:25No, I'd rather not.
00:29:26Um, Office 320 responding.
00:29:28Sorry, duty calls.
00:29:29I'm gonna take it a little bit slower there.
00:29:31It's good seeing you, McCarthy.
00:29:33You look good, Bird.
00:29:34You do, too.
00:29:35Watch your back.
00:29:36And, uh...
00:29:37You need to borrow my handcuffs.
00:29:38You let me know.
00:29:39Have a good night!
00:29:43Look, I'm so sorry, man.
00:29:45I-I should have told you that Brad is totally still Brad.
00:29:49Yeah, he's Brad.
00:29:50Yeah, I've kind of figured that.
00:29:52Yeah, he just hasn't really...
00:29:55Accepted that we're over for good.
00:29:58Shh.
00:29:59It's all good.
00:30:05You can drive.
00:30:06Yeah.
00:30:07All right.
00:30:08Okay.
00:30:09Good night.
00:30:10Okay.
00:30:11Good night.
00:30:12Okay.
00:30:13All right, I'll call you.
00:30:16Coach Nelson!
00:30:17Coach Nelson!
00:30:18Come on, come on, come on!
00:30:19Go, go, go!
00:30:20He's going in for a whip!
00:30:21Wow!
00:30:22Because you're late!
00:30:23You're standing out there and scratching your ball!
00:30:24Check it out!
00:30:25Speaking of a set of balls,
00:30:26you and I need to have a little chat.
00:30:28About what?
00:30:29About Scarlett.
00:30:30Nothing's happening.
00:30:31You're damn right nothing's happening.
00:30:32And if you're planning on something happening,
00:30:34you and I are gonna have problems.
00:30:35Hey, hey!
00:30:36Coach is throwing down!
00:30:37Coach Nelson's gonna throw down!
00:30:38And I'm gonna not stop throwing at you.
00:30:39Don't worry about it.
00:30:41Let's take this into my office.
00:30:42Come on.
00:30:43Coach is in trouble!
00:30:52All right, boys, what's the issue?
00:30:59Oh, we can sit here all day.
00:31:01If that's what you both want.
00:31:07I'll tell you this.
00:31:08We will resolve this issue today,
00:31:11in my office, before either of you leave.
00:31:13Is that clear?
00:31:16Let's start with you, Coach.
00:31:20No, I'm sorry, Chuck.
00:31:21I was just minding my business,
00:31:23teaching my students,
00:31:24trying to coach my team
00:31:25when Num Nuts decides to confront me.
00:31:27Really, Brad?
00:31:28Num Nuts?
00:31:29Can we just stick to the story?
00:31:30Can you just tell them what happened?
00:31:31I'm walking the hall without a badge.
00:31:33He's walking the hall without a badge, Chuck.
00:31:35I wasn't issued a badge.
00:31:36They didn't give me a badge.
00:31:37They didn't give me a badge.
00:31:38I didn't need a badge.
00:31:39I don't need a badge.
00:31:40I'm walking down the hallway,
00:31:41Principal Marshall,
00:31:42minding my business.
00:31:43He's walking down the hallway,
00:31:44pops his head in.
00:31:45He tries to interrupt my practice,
00:31:46just trying to win another
00:31:47state championship, Chuck.
00:31:48That's so unnecessary, Brad.
00:31:49Seriously.
00:31:50That's measly.
00:31:54Now, you have some issues, Henry.
00:31:58You really should just be writing.
00:32:01But zip it.
00:32:02Zip it.
00:32:07I think I understand Brad's frustration.
00:32:10I do.
00:32:11Think about it.
00:32:12He's around a ton of hot teenage boys,
00:32:14half naked, half his age.
00:32:17He could take his toll on anybody.
00:32:19It is.
00:32:20It's taking it.
00:32:21Come on, man.
00:32:22Dude gives losers a bad name.
00:32:23You know what I mean?
00:32:24Yeah.
00:32:25You know what I'm saying?
00:32:26Yeah, it does.
00:32:27So what are you gonna do?
00:32:28He's gonna stay away.
00:32:29No.
00:32:30Henry, honey,
00:32:31some people don't evolve.
00:32:32You're gonna kick your ass.
00:32:33He's a pass.
00:32:34Don't be a young buck
00:32:35and lock horns with him.
00:32:36Brad will break your neck.
00:32:39Sometimes you have to do
00:32:40with what nature gave you.
00:32:42All right?
00:32:43The geek doesn't get the girl.
00:32:45It hurts him a lot.
00:32:46Check, please.
00:33:06Check, please.
00:33:24I have one small announcement to make.
00:33:27To all those seniors attending the prom
00:33:30and fellow students attending the prom,
00:33:32Please, I urge you, use your best judgment.
00:33:36Don't let this dance be your last.
00:33:39And one other thing.
00:33:42Go Wildcats!
00:33:49I found the nerve to ask Lauren to the senior prom,
00:33:52but I did it in writing.
00:33:54The thought of asking her face to face was terrifying.
00:33:56I slipped a note in her chemistry book.
00:33:59She never even acknowledged my request.
00:34:02I began to count not only the days,
00:34:04but the hours until graduation,
00:34:07waiting for my liberation.
00:34:10Hey.
00:34:14Hey.
00:34:16Are you okay, Shasta?
00:34:18Shasta.
00:34:20You okay?
00:34:20You okay?
00:34:21You okay?
00:34:23So stupid.
00:34:25I just need a hug.
00:34:26Oh, my boyfriend just broke up with me.
00:34:30Oh, good.
00:34:32Not appropriate.
00:34:36I good?
00:34:37Okay.
00:34:38Please just tell me that your senior fall sucked butt
00:34:42you regret ever going.
00:34:43Actually, I didn't go.
00:34:45What?
00:34:46Why?
00:34:48Stupid.
00:34:49Dumb.
00:34:49Dumb reasons.
00:34:50Oh.
00:34:51Just dumb.
00:34:52Looks like you need a hug.
00:34:53No, it's okay.
00:34:54I'm good.
00:34:55Are you sure?
00:34:56Yes, I'm good.
00:34:57A good hug can just, like,
00:34:58unlock all those years of pent-up pain.
00:35:01Yeah.
00:35:03One good hug would probably get me locked up
00:35:05for another good 20 years of pain.
00:35:08Yeah, I know.
00:35:09It's okay.
00:35:11You're good.
00:35:12Let's go.
00:35:13Okay.
00:35:14You all right?
00:35:15Come on.
00:35:16Oh, you'll be okay.
00:35:17Thank you for making me feel better.
00:35:18Hey, what's this about?
00:35:22So, before we discuss your book,
00:35:24can I ask you a few questions?
00:35:25Sure.
00:35:26So, is there any truth to getting into a fight
00:35:28with Coach Nelson?
00:35:29What?
00:35:30Are you denying that you threw down with Coach Nelson?
00:35:32There are eyewitnesses.
00:35:33Would you like to comment on what exactly happened?
00:35:37Not really.
00:35:38Does that mean yes or no?
00:35:39It means neither.
00:35:41Any truth to the rumors about Shasta O'Neil?
00:35:43Sources say they saw you two embracing.
00:35:46Embracing?
00:35:48We hugged.
00:35:49No.
00:35:50The average hug lasts 3.2 seconds.
00:35:52Witnesses say it was closer to 20.
00:35:53I would say that the hug qualifies as an embrace.
00:35:56She was upset.
00:35:57So, are you or aren't you seeing each other?
00:36:00Neither.
00:36:01You have the opportunity to set the record
00:36:02straight on both of our findings.
00:36:05Tell the truth.
00:36:06We promise we'll blog it word for word.
00:36:08Do you even read the book?
00:36:10The back cover's really good.
00:36:13I like the title.
00:36:14I want to meet Lionel.
00:36:15Me too.
00:36:20Hey, cool ranch.
00:36:21Looking good like I knew you would.
00:36:22Oh, look at this.
00:36:24This is sweet.
00:36:25This is nice.
00:36:26Huh?
00:36:27Oh, baby's breath.
00:36:28How classy.
00:36:29Yep, Brad's a real charmer.
00:36:31Well, you know, you got him in a jealous rage.
00:36:33He called me 20 times today.
00:36:36That's not what I was intending to do.
00:36:38Oh, really?
00:36:39How did you think Brad was going to respond?
00:36:41Exactly like this.
00:36:44I mean, I just, I can't allow him to dictate my behavior,
00:36:49how I live my life.
00:36:50Or who I'm going to see.
00:36:52Listen, you got him where you want him.
00:36:54All right, now just make some demands
00:36:56and then it'll change.
00:36:57Brad doesn't change his underwear.
00:36:58No.
00:36:59Brad's all about Brad.
00:37:01It's over.
00:37:03I think you've got to come to terms with that too, Darce.
00:37:05Oh my God.
00:37:06You really like this guy.
00:37:09Yeah, I do.
00:37:10Wait, no, no, no.
00:37:10You like him like him, don't you?
00:37:12Yeah, I like him like him.
00:37:15All right, well just remember what happened
00:37:16to the last guy you really liked.
00:37:19Glass eye.
00:37:23All right.
00:37:25I think we're being followed.
00:37:27Oh, it's not him.
00:37:37Hey, hey, I'm here.
00:37:38Hey.
00:37:54Hey.
00:37:54What?
00:37:55You knocked us off.
00:37:56Oh.
00:37:57Oh, Henry.
00:37:58Can't be worried.
00:37:59You can be worried, but you're being a freak now.
00:38:01Look, I just think you need a little more protection
00:38:02than what's in your wallet.
00:38:03I get it, I understand.
00:38:04I totally appreciate it, but-
00:38:05Is that Scarlet Smith?
00:38:07Can I say hi?
00:38:08Well, hello.
00:38:09Let's say hi.
00:38:09Stay, shut up.
00:38:13Phil?
00:38:15How you doing?
00:38:16Good.
00:38:17Listen, girl to girl.
00:38:20You break it, you own it.
00:38:24You kids have a good time.
00:38:27Start it up.
00:38:33I'm a big, strong man.
00:38:34Come on, you can do it.
00:38:37You can do it.
00:38:44You're being very quiet.
00:38:48I've always been quiet.
00:38:50You are a cheerleader, right?
00:38:53Yeah.
00:38:56I'm sorry.
00:38:57I'm just,
00:38:59just remembering, just thinking.
00:39:02Yeah.
00:39:04Are you not happy?
00:39:05No, I'm not sad.
00:39:07I know that.
00:39:08I mean, God, I see so many depressed people every day.
00:39:12I mean, no, seriously, you'd be,
00:39:14you'd be shocked at the sheer number of people
00:39:17in this town that are taking something for something.
00:39:21I mean, it's just their way of coping with the mundane.
00:39:26I think I've made just about every bad decision
00:39:28there is to make ever.
00:39:31Yeah, well, we don't stop making them.
00:39:34You're gonna make one a minute from now
00:39:35and it's gonna affect your life.
00:39:37And the minute you start realizing that every decision
00:39:39amounts to something,
00:39:40then you have to start making them count.
00:39:49There's a decision.
00:39:50Is that a good decision or a bad decision?
00:39:53What do you think?
00:39:55Good one?
00:39:55Very.
00:39:57Very.
00:39:58Oh.
00:40:05Was it Makeout Mountain right around here?
00:40:10I don't know.
00:40:12I've never been here.
00:40:14What do you mean you don't know?
00:40:16Hello, slut.
00:40:18I've never been here.
00:40:20Please.
00:40:21No, you haven't been here for a while.
00:40:23They've like paved it.
00:40:25It's like a neighborhood now.
00:40:26It's developed and stuff.
00:40:27But this is definitely it.
00:40:29This is exactly the end result when you make out too long.
00:40:33You already know where you're going.
00:40:35I don't know what to do.
00:40:36Hmm?
00:40:37What are you doing?
00:40:38I can't.
00:40:39Come here, we're gonna get a better view.
00:40:40Come here.
00:40:43Shh.
00:40:45We're gonna see what's behind model house number four.
00:40:49Come on.
00:40:52Shh.
00:40:53Come on.
00:40:58Close the door.
00:40:59Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:41:03Okay.
00:41:05Wow, look at that big screen TV.
00:41:07Come on.
00:41:11What do you think?
00:41:13It's not bad.
00:41:13Look at the view.
00:41:14It's not bad.
00:41:16Yeah.
00:41:18You asked me to stay in your prom, didn't you?
00:41:21Yeah.
00:41:24You didn't answer.
00:41:26But that's okay.
00:41:28That's fine.
00:41:40I wish I would've said.
00:41:43It's a good answer.
00:41:49Here, activate this thing.
00:41:50I don't have one.
00:41:52Here, I'm gonna put the address.
00:41:53Like, put your home address in there.
00:42:01Ah, it's red.
00:42:07Oh my.
00:42:10You're warm at this point.
00:42:22Oh my god.
00:42:31Let me talk to him.
00:42:33I'll talk to him.
00:42:34No.
00:42:35Scarlett, Scarlett, I'll talk to him.
00:42:37No, just, Henry, please get back in the car.
00:42:39Let me do this.
00:42:44I can't believe you.
00:42:46Why?
00:42:47Because I have nothing to say to you.
00:42:53This is Linda from All-Star, Mr. McCarthy.
00:42:55Are you hurt?
00:42:56I'm fine.
00:42:57Have you been in an accident?
00:42:58Are you lost?
00:43:00Very.
00:43:01♪ This is not where I'm meant to be ♪
00:43:06♪ It seems like everything that I love ♪
00:43:10Lauren moved to another seat in chemistry class.
00:43:15It was as if I no longer existed.
00:43:18I ceased to be in her life.
00:43:20I no longer existed.
00:43:21I ceased to be in her line of sight,
00:43:22so I somehow evaporated into the ethers
00:43:25like a worm dropped into an acid bath.
00:43:27♪ I'm feeling sick and tired ♪
00:43:29♪ It's time to break free ♪
00:43:32I would ride my bike at my Lauren's house nightly,
00:43:35dreaming of the day she'd realize how great I really was,
00:43:38how cool and interesting I was.
00:43:41Lauren consumed my every waking thought,
00:43:44and as she continued to ignore me,
00:43:47the days turned into endless torture.
00:43:49♪ I don't wanna die ♪
00:43:51♪ I'm getting out of here alive ♪
00:43:56Fortunately, I had my friends,
00:43:59Brian and Wayne, who were always there
00:44:00to yank me out of my hole
00:44:02and make me feel like I belonged
00:44:03to something bigger than my self-pity.
00:44:06I never told them how grateful I was for their friendship.
00:44:08I wouldn't have survived Lauren Landers if not for them.
00:44:12♪ And I promise you, I promise that I'll run away with you ♪
00:44:18They knew the antidote to my depression,
00:44:20and they always made me laugh.
00:44:22Once, Wayne got a tattoo of a cow smoking a cigar
00:44:25just to crack me up.
00:44:28♪ You move just like heaven ♪
00:44:32♪ You move just like heaven ♪
00:44:35Put your mark.
00:44:36♪ You move just like heaven ♪
00:44:42She did what?
00:44:44Don't make it worse than it already was.
00:44:45It wasn't that short.
00:44:46It's just, we didn't go out, it's...
00:44:50You went out to dinner, you went out in your car.
00:44:54Technically, that's going out.
00:44:56What, did the police get a souvenir?
00:44:58Fancy.
00:45:00I'm gonna slap you.
00:45:01What?
00:45:02It'd be nice to get a little something-something
00:45:03from every man, you know what I'm saying?
00:45:05Ow!
00:45:07She just can't get over herself.
00:45:09Hey, man, that was a long road, but you stayed the path.
00:45:14I'm proud, man.
00:45:17You're my hero.
00:45:19Give it up.
00:45:22Gotta run, Roxxar.
00:45:25It's history repeating itself.
00:45:28Everything's exactly the same, everything's changed.
00:45:30It's like the day after we just graduated.
00:45:3220 years down the vacuum.
00:45:35You know what?
00:45:38You beat this scarlet fever once before.
00:45:40I know you can do it again.
00:45:43We were 18.
00:45:45A lot younger.
00:45:46My genetic makeup doesn't let me get the girl.
00:45:50I know exactly how you feel.
00:45:53Come here.
00:45:54Come here.
00:45:55Yeah.
00:45:56All right, I get it.
00:45:58Do you want a hug?
00:45:59Yeah, I need a hug.
00:46:00Okay, good.
00:46:01Is that Old Spice?
00:46:01I think that's your problem.
00:46:03You need to change.
00:46:03Hold on, come to the club, I'll get you something.
00:46:07And we will be able to put everything together
00:46:09and have a wonderful celebration.
00:46:12Now, who has envelopes with the completed work?
00:46:16Is everyone finishing up their projects?
00:46:19Very good.
00:46:20I'm sorry, Mrs. Luchtenberger,
00:46:22but if I could have just one minute,
00:46:24it's about the speech.
00:46:25If it's done, leave it.
00:46:27If not, take a seat and we can discuss this
00:46:29when class is dismissed.
00:46:30Okay.
00:46:31Now, we don't have much time.
00:46:34I need you all to finish up your individual projects,
00:46:37bring them up to the front so I can cross them off
00:46:40and we will finalize everything.
00:46:42This is going to be a special event.
00:46:45And we have got to finish.
00:46:51I'll take that.
00:46:52Oh, I bet you will.
00:46:56You have two options.
00:46:58Would you like me to read it or throw it away?
00:47:01It depends on what it says.
00:47:07I'd be lying if I didn't say
00:47:09how disappointed I am in your conduct.
00:47:11You seem to be getting yourself
00:47:13into quite a few altercations.
00:47:16This is the second time you've been in my office
00:47:18on disciplinary issues.
00:47:20And this particular incident is quite a bit of a mess.
00:47:26I'm sorry, Mr. Luchtenberger.
00:47:28This incident is quite damaging.
00:47:32She passed me a note.
00:47:35Are you aware of its contents?
00:47:36No.
00:47:40Would you like to be?
00:47:40I think I should since it was intended for my eyes only.
00:47:51That's pretty funny.
00:47:52I'm glad you find it humorous, Mr. McCarthy.
00:47:54I do.
00:47:55When I asked that you get connected with a senior class,
00:47:59this was not what I was implying.
00:48:02So you're saying I shouldn't go to the prom with Shasta?
00:48:05I can't control what happens off campus.
00:48:08What happens on campus is my full responsibility.
00:48:10I and the district employ a no-tolerance policy.
00:48:16Therefore, I have no option but to suspend you.
00:48:19I'm suspended.
00:48:21You're suspended.
00:48:22You're suspending me.
00:48:23You're suspending me.
00:48:24Shh, shh.
00:48:28Beat it.
00:48:30Hang 10.
00:48:32♪ You lie alone in your bed ♪
00:48:35♪ Another long day ahead ♪
00:48:38Hey.
00:48:39Hey, oh my God, everything's cool, right?
00:48:41Yeah, it's cool, it's cool, it's fine, it's fine.
00:48:44Don't worry, I just got suspended.
00:48:47I know.
00:48:48Oh my God, oh, I'm so, so sorry.
00:48:50No, it's okay, really, it's okay.
00:48:51It's gonna be my fault, it's gonna be my fault.
00:48:53Don't worry, he's been wanting to do that
00:48:55for a long time now.
00:48:57Really?
00:48:58Yeah, he got his wish.
00:48:59What do you think?
00:49:00About?
00:49:02About the notes?
00:49:03Oh.
00:49:06That's funny.
00:49:07You've been funny.
00:49:08I can't go to the prom.
00:49:10Why not?
00:49:11Because they go against everything.
00:49:13Like what?
00:49:14Like gravity, like what we're walking,
00:49:16what keeps us on Earth.
00:49:17Just think of it like research, you know?
00:49:22If you just say yes now, then you can always say no later.
00:49:25But if you say no now, then you may never, ever,
00:49:29ever get a chance to say yes.
00:49:32That's very clever, I like that.
00:49:34But no way, isn't there just a hundred guys
00:49:37waiting to take you?
00:49:38You're very cute.
00:49:39There's gotta be a hundred of them,
00:49:40maybe a thousand.
00:49:41That's standard, okay?
00:49:42And Mr. Marshall did not suspend you
00:49:44from the senior ball.
00:49:45He didn't.
00:49:46So piss him off and go with me.
00:49:49Please, please, please, please, please, please.
00:49:53My days of defiance are done.
00:49:55They just ended in those doors over there.
00:49:57You suck butt.
00:49:59You know that.
00:49:59You totally, totally suck butt.
00:50:01Well, you know what?
00:50:02I guess that's what happens when you turn 37.
00:50:05Good.
00:50:06Oh, they got it.
00:50:09What color's your dress?
00:50:10Really?
00:50:12Teal.
00:50:13Teal.
00:50:15Great.
00:50:16I should have never agreed to go to this.
00:50:19But you did.
00:50:20So just accept it, embrace it, own it.
00:50:24This is your golden crowbar
00:50:26that you are going to use to pry yourself from your past.
00:50:29All right, and don't let Scarlett keep you
00:50:30from going to another ball.
00:50:32I'm just gonna call Sherston and say,
00:50:33look, I can't go.
00:50:35Wait, let me explain something to you, okay?
00:50:37Once you achieve a certain level of success, okay?
00:50:41You get celebrity immunity.
00:50:42You can do no wrong.
00:50:44Well, if you do, you just get a slap on the wrist.
00:50:45You can sleep with your stepdaughter.
00:50:47You can have a slumber party with little boys.
00:50:49I'm not a celebrity.
00:50:51Well, let me explain something to you, okay?
00:50:52If you can do what you want
00:50:54and answer to nobody but yourself,
00:50:56in big girl's world, you are a celebrity.
00:51:00Look at that.
00:51:01Voila.
00:51:03I get arrested, I'm calling you.
00:51:04You should be taking me and him.
00:51:06Corsage, you wanna try it on me first?
00:51:08Whoa, Francesca.
00:51:09Oh my.
00:51:12Henry McCarthy.
00:51:14Uh-huh.
00:51:15Yeah, yeah.
00:51:17Oh, Shasta told us all about you.
00:51:20Yeah, okay.
00:51:21Yeah.
00:51:22Right.
00:51:24Uh, please.
00:51:24She, we're not.
00:51:25Yeah, please come in.
00:51:26She's not mine.
00:51:27No, oh, please, no.
00:51:30She's not mine.
00:51:30She's not mine.
00:51:31She's not mine.
00:51:32She's not mine.
00:51:33She's not mine.
00:51:34She's not mine.
00:51:35She's not mine.
00:51:35She's not mine.
00:51:36She's not mine.
00:51:38Come in.
00:51:53What is it that you do?
00:51:54Um.
00:51:55Oh, I write, I'm a writer.
00:51:57No, what do you write?
00:51:59Oh, that's a good question.
00:52:02It's a how-to book.
00:52:03Here she is, looking smashing.
00:52:05Hi.
00:52:07Hi.
00:52:10Daddy, what's wrong?
00:52:11You're wearing that.
00:52:13Mom likes it.
00:52:13She looks so pretty, honey, what?
00:52:16Uh.
00:52:17Uh-uh.

00:52:19Have a good time.
00:52:20Whatever.
00:52:20He's still so cute.
00:52:22No.
00:52:25Happy place, happy place.
00:52:28Hello?
00:52:32You're swimming in sorrow right now.
00:52:33All I ask is for you to swim to me.
00:52:34Swim to your rock.
00:52:35Do you want anything?
00:52:36No, I'm fine, I'm fine.
00:52:37Sure?
00:52:38Yeah, I don't need anything, I'm good.
00:52:39Bickle, slurpy.
00:52:40Something's going on.
00:52:41No, I'm fine.
00:52:42I'm just at a 7-Eleven, it's okay.
00:52:44What the hell are you doing at a 7-Eleven?
00:52:45I'm worried, Henry, I'm really worried.
00:52:47Does anything good ever happen at 7-Elevens?
00:52:50You're a victim before you even walk in.
00:52:51Don't worry, Javier, it's gonna be okay.
00:52:53I beg you to get out of there.
00:52:557-Elevens are the gateway to life in prison.
00:52:57Okay, bye, I'll talk to you later.
00:53:00I got us some refreshments.
00:53:02Great, all right.
00:53:04What'd you get us?

00:53:12Okay.

00:53:59Oh, yeah.

00:54:02Let's go!
00:54:04You okay?
00:54:12I'm already convinced that you're a marketer.
00:54:16Shasta, how does it feel to go to a guy with a pedophile?
00:54:18No.
00:54:18B.
00:54:19OMG, what are you wearing?
00:54:21You look fabulous.
00:54:24Hey Shasta.

00:55:56Lauren was so beautiful, I could barely look at her.
00:56:01And school politics didn't allow her to look at me.
00:56:05She was too popular.
00:56:07She'd become a cheerleader and started dating a football jock.
00:56:11She went to the prom with the jerk. I didn't go.
00:56:14I couldn't stand the thought of seeing them together,
00:56:17king and queen of the ball.
00:56:21I anonymously sent Lauren a corsage.
00:56:24On prom night, I waited in my car
00:56:27to cross the street from her house to see if she wore it.
00:56:31She did. It was a ridiculous gesture,
00:56:34but I wanted to be a part of her life in some small way.
00:56:38The next day, I pretended to be sick.
00:56:41I couldn't face sitting next to Lauren.
00:56:45Please, please, please, please, please, please, with the cherry on top!
00:56:50No, I can't, no. Look, I had a really good time in there.
00:56:53We're only going to stay at the party for 10 minutes. 10 minutes!
00:56:56I've stayed 10 minutes too long already.
00:56:58Henry, think of it as doing charity.
00:57:01Like, you can just write it off on your taxes.
00:57:04And what cause would this be for?
00:57:06Because I want you to, and because why not?
00:57:10Come on!
00:57:12I'll drink at home.
00:57:15You know what? Just go home. I think your mommy is calling you.
00:57:3110 minutes, right? You just said...
00:57:33You're going to want to stay longer than 10 minutes until you get sick,
00:57:36because I promise you that you're going to have fun.
00:57:40He's trying to caress!
00:57:43Hey! Oh, my goodness, that's crazy!
00:57:45He's a giant!
00:57:47Hey!
00:57:49Come on!
00:57:51Hey, go get us a drink.
00:57:53Go get us a drink. Okay?
00:57:55Okay.
00:57:57Oh, my God!
00:57:59Oh, my God!
00:58:01Oh, my God!
00:58:03Oh, my God!
00:58:05Oh, my God!
00:58:07Oh, my God!
00:58:09Oh, my God!
00:58:11Oh, my God!
00:58:13Oh, my God!
00:58:15Oh, my God!
00:58:17Oh, my God!
00:58:19Oh, my God!
00:58:21Oh, my God!
00:58:23Oh, my God!
00:58:26Mm-hmm.
00:58:28Okay. All right.
00:58:30You don't have to do that.
00:58:32I don't see a ring around your finger.
00:58:34Yeah, I don't want one around my ankle either.
00:58:39Wow. Okay.
00:58:41Okay, how's this? Is this okay?
00:58:42Okay, that's fine.
00:58:43You know, if you keep your hands to yourself, I can accept it.
00:58:46Okay. All right?
00:58:47Wait, hold on.
00:58:50Are you afraid that I don't know what I'm doing?
00:58:54Why would you say yes to this if you weren't going to follow through?
00:58:59I promise you won't have any regrets.
00:59:04Yeah, I know.
00:59:06But there's nothing about taking this moment further that's going to benefit our lives.
00:59:12What is that supposed to mean?
00:59:14It means that messing around with an 18-year-old won't even come close to fixing the problem of the heartbreak I had 20 years ago.
00:59:27Ugh. She is such a bitch!
00:59:31Yeah.
00:59:32And I have to deal with it. I get to deal with it.
00:59:36Oh, come on, come on, come on.
00:59:39What? Oh, my God!
00:59:54What? Oh, my God! What?
00:59:57Come on, jump. Jessa, jump.
00:59:59I can't do that.
01:00:00Trust me. Jump.
01:00:01Dammit, if you don't jump right now, you're going to be doing the same exercise in rehab. Come on, jump.
01:00:10Marty, it's over.
01:00:11Oh, my God!
01:00:27Could you think of anything better to do with your Saturday night than this?
01:00:30Yeah. I could be cuddled up on the couch watching Cops.
01:00:34Love that show.
01:00:35Yeah. The one thing I thought I could learn was never to run from them.
01:00:52Please come out from behind the bushes.
01:00:57That's not what it looks like, officer.
01:01:02I won't be the judge of that.
01:01:05You two been drinking?
01:01:06No.
01:01:11Like it?
01:01:13When Brian, my best buddy, came out of the closet that year, he became the token gay of West Rockville High.
01:01:19After that, I was uncomfortable hanging out with him.
01:01:22It was tough enough for me to be accepted without being associated with another freak.
01:01:28In a vain attempt to fit in with the cool crowd, I snuck out with a group of guys during a pep rally and egged Brian's car.
01:01:35We spelled P-U-S-S-Y in soap and covered his entire car with panty liners, implying that he should have been a woman.
01:01:45I'm gonna kill him. I will kill that boy. I will kill him dead.
01:01:49Brian. He could have at least picked a name like Trevor.
01:01:58No priors.
01:01:59Yeah.
01:02:00That just leaves us with a 37-year-old at a high school party.
01:02:05Sir.
01:02:06Carthy?
01:02:08Hey, bird.
01:02:10I got this.
01:02:16Nothing happened, I swear to you. Nothing happened.
01:02:27You're the man.
01:02:28Yeah.
01:02:30Go make it happen.
01:02:32Thanks.
01:02:35He's good.
01:02:38Oh my god, I'm so embarrassed.
01:02:40Well, it's better you do this stuff now. Get it out of the way.
01:02:43Henry.
01:02:44Wow.
01:02:45Henry!
01:02:46Yeah.
01:02:49Oh my god.
01:02:51Yeah.
01:02:54Um, you suck.
01:02:56You suck.
01:02:57Yeah, I suck.
01:03:00Yeah.
01:03:01Oh no.
01:03:05Oh my god.
01:03:17Come on, come on.
01:03:19Young lady getting the house.
01:03:21My sincerest apologies, Mr. O'Neil.
01:03:24She's in one piece, at least.
01:03:26There's nothing I can do to you that your dad isn't gonna do
01:03:29when he sees that car.
01:03:36Oh god.
01:03:44Dad, I'm so sorry.
01:03:45Sorry?
01:03:46Where in the lord's name did you take her?
01:03:52I think it's just cosmetic.
01:03:53Really, I'm sorry. I'll take care of it.
01:03:55You know something, son?
01:03:56Your smart-ass attitude isn't welcome at a time like this.
01:04:00I'm sorry, I think it's cosmetic only.
01:04:01It's coming out of your allowance.
01:04:03I don't get allowance, Dad.
01:04:04I mean your inheritance.
01:04:11So how is the speech coming?
01:04:13Haven't even started working on it yet.
01:04:15I know.
01:04:17Scarlet.
01:04:18Something really cold.
01:04:20Scarlet cold?
01:04:21Dad, you were in for the night.
01:04:23Dad, you trying to ground me?
01:04:24You don't think you're ready to take the Cadillac?
01:04:27I think I got two feet and I think I can walk over to her house.
01:04:35Pick up. Pick up.
01:04:48Come on.
01:04:54Dammit.
01:05:04Sometimes you have to take action.
01:05:06I discovered sitting in the back of the class doesn't get you the grades or the girl.
01:05:10So I moved up a seat.
01:05:12By that time, Lauren was in danger of flunking chemistry.
01:05:15This was the perfect scenario for boy genius to swoop in and rescue the damsel in distress.
01:05:21The token town gay?
01:05:23I was 500 pounds, Henry, because it took me a while to figure out that I was craving the wrong ding dong.
01:05:29You like what I did to your dad's car?
01:05:31Quit running away from me.
01:05:34Stop that.
01:05:43There you go. Hi, how you doing?
01:05:45That's right. What do you think you got?
01:05:49Hey, hey, yo, ho.
01:05:51What happened, Will?
01:05:54B.J.?
01:05:55Henry.
01:05:56What are you doing? I'm tapping out.
01:05:58What's going on here now? We're letting him go, okay?
01:06:00Oh, yeah.
01:06:04Sorry.
01:06:05Leave. Sorry.
01:06:11Bitch.
01:06:12I had to make Lauren excruciatingly aware of my existence.
01:06:15When moving up a seat didn't work, I became her chemistry tutor.
01:06:18But the only thing that was heating up in that class was on top of the Bunsen burner.
01:06:23I'll admit I made it a little more complicated than it needed to be.
01:06:26But I wanted to spend as much time as possible with her.
01:06:30I was distracted by her beauty, her soft, pale skin, her haunting eyes and her silky hair.
01:06:35Somehow, I managed to guide her to an A in the class.
01:06:39The day she thanked me with a hug and a kiss on the cheek was the happiest day of my life.
01:06:44I felt as if I'd been touched by an angel.
01:06:47That was the day she signed my yearbook.
01:06:49Stay cool.
01:06:53I thought it was code for I love you forever.
01:06:57Henry?
01:06:58Yes?
01:06:59What are you doing here?
01:07:00Is it too late?
01:07:01No, no.
01:07:02Um, come in.
01:07:03My bags are right there.
01:07:04Oh, yeah, yes.
01:07:08One of the reasons that I was calling was because I'm reading your book.
01:07:13I was just wondering how much of it was true.
01:07:16Ah.
01:07:20Everything but the late part.
01:07:21Yeah.
01:07:23Oh, um, the girl in it that you write about, Lauren.
01:07:27Yeah, yeah.
01:07:28I was really moved and touched by...
01:07:33You wrote about her so beautifully and I thought she must be really special and inspiring.
01:07:39She's both.
01:07:41Who is she?
01:07:44Who do you think she is?
01:07:53Stop!
01:07:54Stop it!
01:07:56Get out of here!
01:07:57What are you doing?
01:07:58Go home!
01:07:59It doesn't matter!
01:08:00It doesn't matter?
01:08:01Leave, okay?
01:08:02I'm gonna call the police.
01:08:03I'm gonna beat his ass!
01:08:04Super Tramp!
01:08:05No, no, no.
01:08:07Don't.
01:08:10No.
01:08:11You know what?
01:08:12There's tomorrow and there's next week.
01:08:13He's gotta come after me.
01:08:14He wants me.
01:08:15He wants to kick my ass.
01:08:16So let's go do this.
01:08:18Here's your little pansy-ass beer, Max.
01:08:21How about that?
01:08:28How about that?
01:08:46Better never catch you over there again.
01:08:51Max!

01:11:32Hey Javier so much for being in a coma your painkillers kicked in yet
01:11:39What is that that is the review in your hometown paper
01:11:43Let's hope mr. McCarthy doesn't repeat any of his dribble during his commencement speech this Friday. Don't worry
01:11:49I think she meant dribble. It didn't inspire. It nearly made me slit my wrists
01:11:53Who's this? Who's this Fields woman? You know, I don't know, you know
01:11:57Probably did something to you know, probably egged your house or something. Who knows at this point?
01:12:02Well, we need to get you out of here before your next review is in the obituary section
01:12:06No, I wish I could but I can't
01:12:09These people don't like you
01:12:12I get it. I can get you out of your commencement duties as well as this cat TV interview scheduled for later today
01:12:17You know me on the first flight out of here. Oh, yeah, I believe now
01:12:21I'm gonna be writing about this for the next 20 years. I
01:12:25Want a new subject how Lionel got me laid out help me get to graduation
01:12:35You can pick up your prom photos today after school in room 113 between 3 and 4 and now to John Campbell
01:12:42Oh
01:12:43Neil I think we're pushing a book about domestic violence
01:12:48You know what I
01:12:50Got a punch in. Mm-hmm. I don't know where but I got one. Okay, I'm gonna take a moment to digest that
01:12:55Cuz that's what people like in their writers. They like a little sort of rugged sort of beat-up. Look you're on
01:13:00I
01:13:15Was wondering if you could share with us how you came up with this title how Lionel got me laid sure. It's based on
01:13:22Singer
01:13:36Developed a philosophy in my last days of high school
01:13:39I realized as long as I just concentrated on being alive and stopped worrying about a future. I couldn't predict in the past
01:13:45I couldn't change then my time on earth would be a hell of a lot more enjoyable
01:13:50And I'd probably get laid I figured at least once
01:13:55Years later, I noticed that the lessons I'd learned in high school were being repeated in my life over and over
01:14:02Didn't seem to be an end in sight I
01:14:05Was an a student in school. Why did I feel like a C-minus in life?
01:14:09Did I need to go back to West Rockville for a refresher course? Oh
01:14:12Oh
01:14:14Got you pretty good, didn't he?
01:14:16You know, I can't help you. All you have to do is tell me who did this to you. Ah, it's nothing. It's not
01:14:21Mm-hmm. What are you gonna do suspend them to if necessary? Yes
01:14:25I'll be okay. I'm fine. Just let me cross campus over here and get my speech approved
01:14:31All right. There's a running track goes around the campus various entrances for guests
01:14:3772% of the graduating class will be on an antidepressant
01:14:4161% will be divorced. Very interesting. I
01:14:47Do find your choices humorous somewhat shocking and very clever
01:14:50But overall I can't allow this while you will be grabbing their attention with frightening statistics about the future
01:14:55Ultimately, it will be ineffective. The truth just doesn't go for well these days
01:14:59Does it speak when you're angry and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret Lawrence Peter
01:15:04Thank you. I
01:15:07Just don't think time would permit me to write a speech that you would approve
01:15:14You already have
01:15:21Even when it was uncomfortable high school forced me to live in my own skin which included my clothes
01:15:28You
01:15:36Now I would like to introduce Wes Rockville to one of my all-time favorite
01:15:45Students
01:15:47He attended the school some years ago and he's a writer now doing quite well, I understand please welcome your commencement speaker
01:15:55Mr. Henry
01:16:00Thank you, thank you
01:16:03Thank you
01:16:05If I could read from this little book that I wrote I
01:16:09Would eventually learn that every one of us would carry our moments differently their color
01:16:16Their shape their feeling they would all be different depending on our intentions and use for them
01:16:22I sat with each moment for a long period of time one moment
01:16:26I would continue to feed give it all my love and attention. I would worry was it gonna hatch into a beautiful memory or
01:16:35Would it die on a vine I
01:16:39Stand here today
01:16:40Because of that memory every day it bounces from my head to my heart
01:16:46To my stomach
01:16:48Aimlessly, there is no place to hide this memory. Not even the pages of this book. It has affected the way I speak
01:16:57The way I talk the way I live
01:17:00Remember this our memories make us who we are
01:17:03These four years will only become that your memories you can't define them
01:17:09But they can't define you
01:17:12You
01:17:15Congratulations
01:17:42Oh
01:17:56I'm good. Good to go. Don't stop here
01:18:05God created I hop and there was a God said let there be I hop and there was I hop
01:18:12You didn't come back here to talk to a thousand students you came back to talk to one person
01:18:18Yeah, well
01:18:20It is what it is
01:18:23She is what she is
01:18:25It is what it is. It says
01:18:28You know what I have to say that
01:18:36Times in my life
01:18:42I
01:18:51Henry
01:18:54What are you doing see what you're doing I was a
01:18:59Debating whether to stand outside and hold a boombox over my head
01:19:05This is your room, yeah
01:19:12To have Lauren kiss me
01:19:15Just once I was wondering if Lionel would get me late the way I dreamed of kissing her
01:19:22Would make my life complete
01:19:25Yeah
01:19:27Yeah, I'm just gonna ignore the fact
01:19:42Oh
01:19:44Lionel's words taught me about love
01:19:50Loyalty
01:19:54Desire and
01:19:56Romance
01:19:59I want to get a shot at you and mom my family taught me tolerance. Nobody take that. Oh, yeah
01:20:05My friends gave me brotherhood and Lauren showed me what my ideal woman could be
01:20:12You want to follow your own advice?
01:20:13Did you read your own book? Mm-hmm? I did. I wonder sometimes if she's even remotely like the woman I used to imagine her to be
01:20:20Or if I made it all up in order to stay alone
01:20:28Why else would you fall in love with the most unattainable girl in the entire school who had the perfect boyfriend
01:20:35Ultimately what I learned from my imaginary relationship with Lauren was to seize and experience life as it happens
01:20:43Henry
01:20:45Override my fears and stop dragging around the unfulfilled dreams of yesterday
01:20:50Stay cool
01:20:52Okay
01:20:57Some nights I lie awake wondering whatever happened to Lauren. Did she marry the job?
01:21:02Does she have kids? Would she even remember who I was?
01:21:06Well
01:21:07And now I'm not afraid of love
01:21:10My heart might be squashed again, but at least I know I'll live to write about it
