00:02:00It's the night we've waited for

00:02:05Hi. I'd like a corsage. Tonight. For my date. To the prom. It's a girl.

00:02:12Oh, it's okay. Everybody's nervous on their prom night. Even us girls.

00:02:17Oh, it's a relief. Guess I am a little bit nervous.

00:02:22She must be pretty. Oh, yeah. She's more than pretty.

00:02:27She's really cute. No, cute's wrong. She's pretty cute.

00:02:35Oh, that's so sweet. What color gown is your young lady wearing?

00:02:41Excuse me? Well, we don't want to corsage their clashes now, do we?

00:02:46No, we don't. That's for sure.

00:02:50She's wearing pink. Pinkish. Actually, it's kind of a green.

00:02:57With a little lavender. Do you have any black flowers?

00:03:02You know, you boys never have an eye for clothes.

00:03:05You know, I remember when Mr. Krellman...

00:03:08I'll just save you. I'll just take this. This is no problem.

00:03:11That's a cactus. And a corsage.

00:03:20Thank you very much. Have a good day.

00:03:22There's too much money.

00:03:25Oh, God.

00:03:27I'm gonna go get my dress, okay?

00:03:30Oh, sorry. Oh, hi, Patrice, Roger.

00:03:34Hi, there. Sorry we can't talk long.

00:03:37We've got tons of shopping to do before the prom.

00:03:39Isn't this so exciting? I can't wait until tonight.

00:03:42I wonder who'll be named king and queen.

00:03:44Oh, God, I would just die if it was me and Roger, too, of course.

00:03:47Well, in that case, good luck. And Roger, too, of course.

00:03:53Bye. Thanks. Great to see you again.

00:03:56What's he buying corsage for? I mean, who'd go to the prom with him?

00:04:00It's Lucy's polo shirt, and it didn't even have a polo guy on it.

00:04:03Please. Huh?

00:04:05Never mind.

00:04:07I gotta get some starlight pink blusher,

00:04:09and then run over to the shoe store to get those Charles Jadon pumps

00:04:12because I decided to wear the puce taffeta sheath,

00:04:14which is why you've got the pearl gray Riviera tuxedo

00:04:16with the dusty rose tie and cummerbund.

00:04:18Oh. Oh, and you need to get me a corsage.

00:04:21Listen, couldn't you do that because... Honestly, Roger.

00:04:24It is tradition that the guy gets the corsage.

00:04:26Now, you're supposed to surprise me

00:04:28with a rosebud and silver ribbon bristled here.

00:04:30I wrote it down for you. Okay.

00:04:32Now, remember, Roger, this is the most important night of my life.

00:04:35I do not want one single thing to go wrong. Hmm?

00:04:40Yeah.

00:04:42Hi, Shelly. Hi, guys.

00:04:44Hi, Marina. Hi.

00:04:46Don, I love your perm. Hi, Lori.

00:04:48Hi. Kathy.

00:04:50Oh, what a cute little charm Ron gave you.

00:04:53What is it, a football cleat? Yes, it is.

00:04:56It's the diamond pre-engagement ring I had Roger get for me.

00:04:58Oh. Cost him a fortune,

00:05:00but after all, you only get pre-engaged once, right?

00:05:03Okay. Shelly.

00:05:05Shelly, you didn't ask for Pete at my afro prom party.

00:05:08You and Kevin are gonna be there, aren't you?

00:05:10Well, actually, Patrice, I'm not sure if I'm going with Kevin tonight.

00:05:13Oh, my God. You mean Kevin didn't ask you to the prom?

00:05:15Ask me? Well, sure, of course he asked me.

00:05:18It's just that this college guy invited me to go to this frat party with him,

00:05:21and I'm not sure I'm gonna make it to the prom.

00:05:23Oh, my God, you're seeing a college guy?

00:05:25Well, don't you think you should tell Kevin?

00:05:27He's standing right over there.

00:05:29Oh. Okay.

00:05:31Yeah, yeah, you're right. I guess I better go tell him.

00:05:34Oh, my God, he is such a stone fox.

00:05:37Yeah.

00:05:40You know, you have to be 18 to buy these.

00:05:43No, you don't.

00:05:45Well, you have to be married.

00:05:47Fine. Then the missus would like some of the colored ones.

00:05:51Hi, Kevin.

00:05:53Shelly, hi.

00:05:55Look, Kevin, I know you're upset about the last time we, you know,

00:06:00but I told you I'm just not ready yet.

00:06:03And I'm sorry that you rented the van and everything, but...

00:06:05Shelly, we've been going out for four years.

00:06:07For four years, you've been getting ready and I've been getting horny.

00:06:10Well, if that's all you want,

00:06:12then why don't you just ask Ramona Gielgud to the prom?

00:06:15How do you know I haven't?

00:06:17What? You mean you and Ramona?

00:06:19I don't have to tell you anything. What are you, my wife?

00:06:22No. But I thought I was your girlfriend.

00:06:26Think again.

00:06:31Well, fine, because it doesn't really matter anyway,

00:06:34because I'm going to a frat party. Bye.

00:06:42Kevin is devastated.

00:06:45God, Shelly Sheridan ditching our senior prom.

00:06:49She's almost like the most popular girl in class.

00:06:51I'm way shocked.

00:06:53Well, maybe she's just afraid that she won't be elected queen of the prom.

00:06:56You girls voted, didn't you?

00:06:58Uh-huh. And you know, Shelly's going to be the only girl in our senior class

00:07:01that's not going to be at the prom.

00:07:04Totally untrue, Marina.

00:07:06Check out the prom dresses on Angela and the bag lady over there.

00:07:09Ew!

00:07:13You know, we're going to need at least five videotapes

00:07:15if we're going to stay up all night.

00:07:17I don't know, Margaret. I promised my parents I'd be home early tomorrow morning.

00:07:20Church, you know.

00:07:22Angela, we have been planning this night since our freshman year.

00:07:25We made a sacred pact.

00:07:27Tonight we're going to watch movies, eat popcorn and pig out until dawn.

00:07:30I mean, come on. This is our prom night.

00:07:33I know, but high school's over forever.

00:07:36In a few months, we'll be in college.

00:07:39Angela, if you don't want to go to this religious college,

00:07:41just stand up to your parents and say so.

00:07:43I mean, what are they going to do to you?

00:07:45They'll probably just turn the other cheek.

00:07:47I'm not like you, Margaret. You do what you want.

00:07:49True.

00:07:50You say what you want.

00:07:51True.

00:07:52You wear what you want. You don't care what people think.

00:07:54You don't like my new hat?

00:07:56I love it. Really.

00:07:57Anyway, it doesn't matter what I think

00:07:59because the people at fashion school loved your designs.

00:08:01You're really talented.

00:08:03True. But what about you?

00:08:05You're a great artist.

00:08:07That's why they accepted you into art school.

00:08:09How can you let your parents stand in the way?

00:08:12It's not just that.

00:08:14I'm afraid.

00:08:16Afraid of what?

00:08:18I don't know. Everything.

00:08:20I just wish I could stay in high school.

00:08:23Why couldn't I have flunked a grade?

00:08:27Hey, looking good, buddy.

00:08:29Hey, cabman, check this out.

00:08:31I'm putting studs in my shirt. Get it? Studs?

00:08:33You know what that makes me, don't you?

00:08:35A jerk.

00:08:37What is up with this belt?

00:08:39It's way too wide for the loops.

00:08:41Guys are like children. That's not a belt.

00:08:43That's a cummerbund. You wear it around your waist.

00:08:45How come?

00:08:46Because it's decorative, you doofus.

00:08:48World War I to Paul Einstein.

00:08:50Dude, you're not really gonna wear a pink tuxedo, are you?

00:08:53It's not pink. It's salmon.

00:08:55I guess Shelly's making you wear it, huh?

00:08:57I'm not going with Shelly.

00:08:59What? But you two have been going together since the ninth grade.

00:09:02I mean, this is practically like getting a divorce or something.

00:09:05Maybe you should see the guidance counselor.

00:09:08Look, Shelly is a great girl and everything,

00:09:10but a man needs more than that.

00:09:12A man has only one prom night,

00:09:14and he has to be absolutely sure that he, uh...

00:09:18Do I have to explain the facts of life to you boys?

00:09:21Oh, so she won't do it, huh?

00:09:23You guys are vulgar, you know that?

00:09:25Then why don't you ask Ramona Gielgud?

00:09:28Feel good, Gielgud.

00:09:30Yeah, well, I already asked her.

00:09:32Turns out she's dating a Spanish teacher.

00:09:34Oh, really? Are you gonna go stag?

00:09:36What, is that a joke?

00:09:38I can get a date, no problem. I got, what, six hours.

00:09:41I feel sorry for you, my man.

00:09:43I don't know what I'd do if I had a woman who wouldn't give me any.

00:09:46Yeah, give you any what? Wallace gum?

00:09:48You expect me to believe that you and Lori have been, uh...

00:09:51Hey, I didn't say Lori, all right?

00:09:53Then who? Yeah, who?

00:09:55And I don't have to tell you guys.

00:09:57Oh, I bet I know who. The bag lady.

00:10:00Ha-ha-ha! No.

00:10:02No way, man. It was somebody else.

00:10:04It was, uh...

00:10:06It was, uh...

00:10:08It was Angela.

00:10:10Angela Stroh?

00:10:12Yeah.

00:10:14She's real easy. Well, she's an artist, you know.

00:10:17No kidding.

00:10:19Yeah, and she's not that bad-looking either.

00:10:21Not once you get her out of those geeky clothes, you know what I mean?

00:10:32So what you're saying is she's a sure thing?

00:10:35Yeah.

00:10:37Aw, man, you're not gonna ask Angela Stroh to the prom, are you?

00:10:41Dole Stroh?

00:10:43Sure thing.

00:10:45What about Top Gun?

00:10:47Oh, yeah, my parents wouldn't let me see that one.

00:10:49What's it about? Tom Cruise.

00:10:52Don't look up.

00:10:54Kevin McCrae just walked in. God, he's so conceited.

00:10:57He's coming this way, Margaret. I hate him.

00:10:59I bet he doesn't even talk to us.

00:11:01Hey, Angela.

00:11:03What?

00:11:05Hey, Margaret.

00:11:07It's great we bumped into each other here

00:11:09because I'm going away pretty soon.

00:11:11I got accepted to Stanford. How about you?

00:11:13Midland Bible College.

00:11:15I had a man who went there.

00:11:21Um, look, you know, us bumping into each other like this,

00:11:24it's totally fake.

00:11:26What do you mean?

00:11:28Because tonight is gonna be a very special night,

00:11:31a magical night for us to remember for the rest of our lives.

00:11:34We're gonna be writing some really good movies.

00:11:37Um, actually, this was just an excuse

00:11:40so I could come in here and ask you to the prom.

00:11:44What?

00:11:46What do you say?

00:11:48Uh, I'm sorry, Kevin. I don't think so.

00:11:50What?

00:11:52Well, it's really nice of you and all that,

00:11:54but, well, it's just kind of last minute.

00:11:56Come on, Margaret. We better get going.

00:11:58Angela.

00:12:00What?

00:12:02Angela, wait, wait, wait, look.

00:12:04Now, I know I should have asked you earlier,

00:12:06and the reason that I didn't do that is, I mean, the truth...

00:12:10is because I couldn't get up the nerve to ask you.

00:12:14I mean, look, I know everyone thinks that I'm cool and self-confident,

00:12:18but deep down, I'm... I'm a shy guy.

00:12:24I'm sorry I bothered you.

00:12:28That's okay, Kevin.

00:12:30I know how it feels.

00:12:35So, then, what do you say?

00:12:38Do you want to go?

00:12:40Yes. Yes.

00:12:44Okay. Good. Great.

00:12:47I'll see you at 7.30.

00:12:51Hey. Well, you got a big night tonight, huh?

00:12:54Yeah.

00:12:56Did I tell you I ran into Robbie Lipson down at the hairstylist?

00:12:58Said he got accepted to Princeton.

00:13:00Oh, great.

00:13:02How about you? Did you hear from Maryville College yet?

00:13:05Um, you know what?

00:13:07I think I forgot to send in the transcripts.

00:13:09But besides, Dad,

00:13:11I don't think my grades would have been all that great.

00:13:13You know, that's so typical of you, Dad.

00:13:16Come on, you're a bright kid. You don't apply yourself.

00:13:19Dad, look, I don't even know if I want to go to college.

00:13:22I don't know anything about anything.

00:13:24Well, I'll tell you something. You got to be more self-confident.

00:13:27You got to be more aggressive.

00:13:29Now give me that Springsteen tape. I got a date tonight.

00:13:32Um, I think it's by my computer.

00:13:37Oh, great. Another picture of Jupiter.

00:13:42Where's that Heather Locklear poster I gave you?

00:13:45You know what? I think I hung that one up at Mom's house.

00:13:49I know what's bothering you.

00:13:51You? Yeah.

00:13:53It's your date tonight. What about her?

00:13:55Well, you got a real fox, right?

00:13:57Oh, uh, right.

00:13:59Uh, she's real cute, Dad.

00:14:03I knew it.

00:14:05You are Jack Lefkort's boy,

00:14:07and the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?

00:14:09That's right, Dad. I'm an acorn.

00:14:13I remember my senior promise.

00:14:15I had the hottest chicken Bedford Falls on my arm.

00:14:18And my arm was all over her, if you know what I mean.

00:14:21Yeah. Uh, Dad, look, um...

00:14:24Can we talk about something?

00:14:26Of course we can talk. I'm a marriage counselor.

00:14:28Problems are my business.

00:14:30I know. I know what you're thinking.

00:14:32You're afraid I'm gonna come down on you if you stay up all night.

00:14:35I don't even want to see you back here until dawn, young man.

00:14:37You got that?

00:14:39And I know you want to impress her by showing up in a great car.

00:14:42Hmm?

00:14:44All right, here.

00:14:48You take the caddy.

00:14:55Happy now?

00:14:57Dad.

00:14:59Dad.

00:15:03Dad!

00:15:05I can't believe I let you talk me into this.

00:15:07I mean, me go to the prom? I feel so weird.

00:15:10Well, I went too far putting lip gloss on my nails.

00:15:13Oh, I thought it was a fingernail brush.

00:15:16Now what am I gonna tell my parents?

00:15:18I mean, they'll never let me out of this house.

00:15:20Angela, you've been listening to your parents all your life,

00:15:23and where has it gotten you?

00:15:25Middle and Bible college? Come on.

00:15:27This is your one big chance to go out and really have some fun.

00:15:30Don't chicken out on me.

00:15:32Yeah, but what about our pact?

00:15:34Our pact is that we're friends, and I want you to go to the prom.

00:15:37You'll be alone.

00:15:39No, I won't. I'll be with Tom Cruise.

00:15:44How come you can draw so good on paper,

00:15:47but you can't draw on your own face?

00:15:49Who am I kidding here?

00:15:51I mean, I don't know anything about this kind of stuff.

00:15:54I'm just gonna call Kevin and tell him I broke my hip.

00:15:57Angela, will you chill out? I'm gonna talk you through this.

00:16:00Yeah, but even if we salvage my face,

00:16:02I still don't have anything I could wear to the prom.

00:16:05Well, you must have something we can work with.

00:16:07I mean, you're standing here with a girl

00:16:09who has been accepted to the Allied School of Design.

00:16:12Whoa. This is it?

00:16:14You know my parents.

00:16:16Yeah, not exactly Sean and Madonna, huh?

00:16:19Wait. Wait. I remember when I was a little girl way back in the 70s

00:16:23when I saw this old picture of my mom when she was in high school,

00:16:26and she was wearing the most fabulous gown. Come on.

00:16:37Sit. Sit.

00:16:41This is great!

00:16:43You like it? Yeah!

00:16:45Think it'll work?

00:16:47I guess your mom never came out of the closet, huh?

00:16:50Come on. Let's go. Okay.

00:16:52Mother, this is a disaster.

00:16:54How am I supposed to serve a wheel of brie without a decent cheese knife?

00:16:58And what am I supposed to serve the espresso in? Jelly glasses?

00:17:01Mother, please, can't you make them stop?

00:17:04Larry, will you please stop making that racket and come in?

00:17:07We're gonna be late.

00:17:09Mom, promise me that you and Daddy won't fight tonight.

00:17:12Oh, come on, honey. Come on. We don't fight. We talk.

00:17:15Loudly sometimes. Right, Nancy?

00:17:17Right. Right. We're getting along much better lately.

00:17:20Nice haircut, honey. Thank you, darling.

00:17:23Oh, no. Forgot to push back my cuticles.

00:17:26Oh.

00:17:28So, uh, it's absolutely necessary that I go to this thing.

00:17:31Larry, please. I promised the school that we would chaperone the prom. Remember?

00:17:35Yes. Yes, I remember. That's fine. No.

00:17:37Good. Thank you. Now, may I ask you one more favor?

00:17:40Would you please not do what you did at her sweet 16th birthday party?

00:17:44Oh, come on, Nancy.

00:17:46Those guys begged me to come up on stage with them.

00:17:49They had never heard the long version of Light My Fire.

00:17:52Well, they'd certainly never heard one that long before.

00:17:55Thank you. Thank you very much.

00:17:57You and I both know that I could have been a professional guitar player.

00:18:00Oh, God, here we go again. Poor Larry had to get a job.

00:18:03Yeah, well, someone had to put Brie on the table.

00:18:06Is that meant for me? Because, face it, Larry, we have both overindulged our daughter.

00:18:10Anyway, it's the least we could do after all this bickering we put her through.

00:18:13Agreed. So I've spent 17 years trying to pay for it all.

00:18:16Hey, hold it!

00:18:18Do you think that you're the only one here who's had to make sacrifices?

00:18:21Do you think it's been my life's ambition to become a substitute teacher?

00:18:26We're doing it again. Right now.

00:18:31Yeah, you're right. I know.

00:18:33Pushing each other's buttons.

00:18:35Just like the marriage counselor told us.

00:18:38I just wish he would tell us why.

00:18:42Ah, hey, honey, Roger's here.

00:18:45Oh, look at this. This color. I love this color.

00:18:48What do you call this color? Puce.

00:18:50Puce. Don't touch my hair, Daddy.

00:18:53No, no. Good night, sweetie. Have a good time. Bye-bye.

00:18:56Bye.

00:18:58Larry, could you get dressed now, please? I'd like to actually get there tonight.

00:19:01Yes! I'm getting dressed. Thank you. Right now.

00:19:04Look, my limo was supposed to be here 20 minutes ago.

00:19:07Okay, okay. Did you tell him to come to the door and to say that thing?

00:19:10I gotta go. Bye.

00:19:12There she is. The belle and the ball.

00:19:14Let's get a few pictures, baby.

00:19:16Oh, Daddy, please. No pictures. Oh, come on.

00:19:18No, you know what? She's right. Let's wait till Kevin gets here.

00:19:21Okay. Okay, what the heck? Let's take some pictures.

00:19:24Go ahead.

00:19:26Marcia Schlemmer saw Kevin last week,

00:19:28and he didn't say anything about going with you.

00:19:31Carrie, you little dork.

00:19:33If you tell anyone that Kevin didn't ask me to the prom,

00:19:36I will die of humiliation.

00:19:40Because it's simply not true.

00:19:42Well, of course it's not true.

00:19:44Shelly and Kevin have been dating for nearly four years now.

00:19:47And there he is. That's him. That's Kevin.

00:19:53Ah, it's the chauffeur.

00:19:55Miss Shelly Sheridan? Yes.

00:19:57Mr. Kevin McRae awaits the pleasure of your company.

00:19:59Great. Oh, you look so beautiful.

00:20:02I think I'm gonna cry.

00:20:06Me too, Mom.

00:20:08Bye. Bye. Bye, honey.

00:20:10Have a good time. Bye.

00:20:12Be careful.

00:20:15Where to, miss?

00:20:17Just drive until this runs out.

00:20:21Yes, friends, it is in the Bible.

00:20:24Hello, Ed.

00:20:26How was work today?

00:20:28Oh, fine.

00:20:30Good.

00:20:32How was your day today, Mother?

00:20:34Good.

00:20:36Fine.

00:20:38How was your day today, Ed?

00:20:40Fine.

00:20:42Good.

00:20:44Good.

00:20:46Good.

00:20:48Fine. How was your day today, Angel?

00:20:50Oh, good.

00:20:52Fine.

00:20:54Fine.

00:20:56Mom, Dad, I'm going to the prom.

00:20:59Prom?

00:21:01Oh, honey, you look so pretty in that dress.

00:21:05Look at you.

00:21:07What is that on your face?

00:21:09What kind of a girl wears a dress like that?

00:21:11It's Mom's.

00:21:13Don't you ever talk to your mother that way.

00:21:15Oh, Ed, settle down.

00:21:17If Angela wants to go with Margaret to her little prom,

00:21:19I don't see harm in it.

00:21:21Well, actually, Mom...

00:21:23That would be fine, wouldn't it, Angela?

00:21:25Yes, fine.

00:21:27Fine.

00:21:29Fine.

00:21:31Good.

00:21:38Angela.

00:21:40You look great.

00:21:43I wish I'd been for the swimsuit competition.

00:21:46Well, I better go clean those tapes.

00:21:51Um, Kevin?

00:21:53This is my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Strahle.

00:21:56Mrs. Strahle, it's a pleasure to meet you.

00:21:58May I say that's a charming outfit you're wearing?

00:22:01Mr. Strahle, I'm a big fan of your pharmacy.

00:22:03I've been in there many times, sir.

00:22:05Yes, I remember.

00:22:07I also remember what you came in for.

00:22:10Well, we'd better be going, Angela.

00:22:12Mr. and Mrs. Strahle, nothing to worry about.

00:22:14I'll have her back very early, say, 6, 7 a.m., okay?

00:22:17Ciao.

00:22:19Now, listen to me, young lady.

00:22:21You are not going anywhere with that punk.

00:22:23But, Daddy, I want to go to my prom.

00:22:25Yes, well, the only place you are going

00:22:27is to the bathroom to wash your face.

00:22:29You're ruining my life. You can't do that.

00:22:31Listen, you'll thank me for this later, darling.

00:22:33Oh, and don't bother coming out

00:22:35until you've got all that goo off your face.

00:22:37That was the back door, Ed.

00:22:45Mother, get your coat.

00:22:47What for?

00:22:49We're going to the prom!

00:22:57I can't believe it's finally here.

00:22:59Prom night. Our night.

00:23:01I just don't understand

00:23:03why this prom is such a big deal to you.

00:23:05I told you.

00:23:07If we become king and queen of the prom,

00:23:09it'll help us get into the right sorority

00:23:11and fraternity at Central State.

00:23:13Which will allow us to make business contacts

00:23:15that will pay off when you become a CPA

00:23:17and I become an advertising executive.

00:23:19And we're going to need a six-figure income

00:23:21if we're going to afford two Jaguars

00:23:23and a vacation home in Maui

00:23:25before we have our two children at age 33.

00:23:27Oh, yeah, right. I forgot.

00:23:29You can't forget, Roger.

00:23:31We have to stick to the plan.

00:23:33Otherwise, we're liable to end up like my parents.

00:23:44No, Ann, please. Don't get so close.

00:23:46Ann!

00:23:48I can't believe I just did that.

00:23:50I don't know what my father's going to do to me

00:23:52when I get home.

00:23:54Yes, I do. He's going to kill me.

00:23:56I mean, I've never disobeyed my parents before.

00:23:58Have you?

00:24:00Nah. If I leave her home,

00:24:02most of the day, I disobey the maid.

00:24:04Hey, relax, will ya?

00:24:07Okay.

00:24:09I'm sorry.

00:24:12Nice car.

00:24:14Yeah, it's Italian.

00:24:16I love Italy.

00:24:18You've been to Italy?

00:24:20Yeah, I went there with my parents when I was six.

00:24:22It's so romantic.

00:24:24I've always dreamed of going to Italy.

00:24:26I've read all about it.

00:24:28It's some of the world's greatest artists in Italy.

00:24:31Well, then, you will love the place

00:24:33I'm taking you for dinner tonight.

00:24:35You know, it's got the statue of the nation's greatest artist.

00:24:38I'm taking you for dinner tonight.

00:24:40You know, it's got the statue of the naked lady with no arms.

00:24:43The Venus de Milo?

00:24:45Nah, it's called Ristorante Federico,

00:24:48which means Fred's Restaurant.

00:24:51Ristorante Federico. I've heard of it.

00:24:53It sounds wonderful.

00:24:55Grazie.

00:24:57Then we'll make an appearance at the prom

00:24:59and maybe drop by Patrice's party.

00:25:01And we'll, uh...

00:25:03do some stuff.

00:25:06Then we'll go for the traditional breakfast at Hud's.

00:25:09How does that sound?

00:25:11It sounds perfect.

00:25:13I don't know what more I could ever want.

00:25:20Did you see that? Did you see that?

00:25:22What?

00:25:24He's lowered his hand. Where is his hand?

00:25:26Oh, it's settled down now.

00:25:28I'm sure he's just reaching for the cigarette lighter.

00:25:30Oh, that's perfect.

00:25:32I bet it's in the car with that punk already she's smoking.

00:25:47One, please.

00:25:49Um...

00:25:51what time does the last movie get out?

00:25:546 a.m.

00:25:56Perfect.

00:25:58Don't go, Skip. It's too dangerous.

00:26:01Oh!

00:26:03I am so sorry.

00:26:05Excuse me.

00:26:07Pardon me.

00:26:30Take care of her, Gus.

00:26:32Gus?

00:26:34Gus!

00:26:36Oh, no! It can't be!

00:26:38No!

00:26:40Oh, no!

00:26:44No! That's dealer!

00:26:46This guy's Gus!

00:26:51Save yourself!

00:26:56Oh, hi.

00:26:58You're Kelly Sheridan, aren't you?

00:27:00Are you okay?

00:27:02I'm fine, but I just got a little carried away

00:27:04because Gus got eaten by the giant ant.

00:27:07Okay.

00:27:11Look, I could have gone to the prom if I wanted to, okay?

00:27:15I mean, a lot of guys asked me to go.

00:27:17There was Tony Pallendino and Mike Gelman

00:27:20and Kenny Edwards and Eddie Sokoloff

00:27:22and that exchange student from Pakistan.

00:27:25Oh, yeah.

00:27:28Why... why didn't you go with one of them?

00:27:32Because I was waiting for Kevin McCray to ask me.

00:27:36Not that I care, you know.

00:27:38I'm glad he didn't ask me.

00:27:40I didn't want to go with him anyway.

00:27:42I'd much rather watch a good movie.

00:27:45Die, insect! Die!

00:27:48So, uh, what are you doing here?

00:27:51I'm hiding from my father.

00:27:55You see, he'd kill me if he knew I didn't make it to the prom.

00:27:59Just don't tell anyone from school you saw me here, okay?

00:28:03Who would I tell?

00:28:05No one speaks to me.

00:28:07All right.

00:28:10You want some popcorn?

00:28:15No, thanks. I have enough here.

00:28:18Look, can... can we just ignore each other, okay?

00:28:21Sit back and watch the movie and pretend you don't know who I am,

00:28:25and I will do the same for you, Don.

00:28:27Damn.

00:28:28Sorry.

00:28:30What?

00:28:31Oh, no.

00:28:32What?

00:28:33Look out! There's Del Pino!

00:28:40Buona sera, signore. Dining at Federico's tonight, eh?

00:28:43Ah, oui, Mr. McCray. Eight o'clock.

00:28:46Oh, very good, signore.

00:28:48Show Signore McCray and his bella signorina to a lovely table.

00:28:52This way, please.

00:29:04Thank you, Santori.

00:29:06Um, I'd like to see a wine list.

00:29:09Uh, don't you have to be 21, Kevin?

00:29:12I can handle this.

00:29:15Oh, thank you, signore.

00:29:18Right. Now the wine list.

00:29:21You must be 21.

00:29:23Right.

00:29:25So what kind of mineral water do you have?

00:29:28Enjoy your meal.

00:29:36Buona sera, signore.

00:29:38The cafeteria is downstairs by the shoeshine stand.

00:29:41Listen, did you see a nice girl in a punk come in here?

00:29:44Scusa, signore.

00:29:46Oh, Ed, I'm sure she's fine.

00:29:48Why don't we just go out and drive around the block some more?

00:29:51Fine, is she?

00:29:52What do you think he's playing her with right now?

00:29:54Water?

00:29:55Give us a table, fellow.

00:29:56Mario, I think I have just the table for you, eh?

00:30:00Mario, take these people to the table by the, uh, gabinetto.

00:30:04Oh, thank you.

00:30:12Marina!

00:30:14Oh, Marina, I love your hair like that.

00:30:17Hi.

00:30:19Lori, I'm going to die.

00:30:21Your dress is fabulous.

00:30:23Didn't I see this on sale?

00:30:25Karen, Abby, hi.

00:30:27Oh, this is so exciting.

00:30:29It's our prom, I can't believe it.

00:30:31Oh, my God, Patrice, your gown is way cool.

00:30:34What would you call it?

00:30:35I don't know.

00:30:36I don't know.

00:30:38Patrice, your gown is way cool.

00:30:40What would you call that color?

00:30:42Puce?

00:30:43Come on, Roger.

00:30:47Well, I guess we know who chose our geeky prom theme.

00:31:09Don't mind me, darling.

00:31:11You'll never need to worry.

00:31:15Patrice, your dress looks like the tablecloths.

00:31:19Of course.

00:31:20I'm the only girl here who goes with the room.

00:31:24You know, when I'm named queen,

00:31:26I hope that gold tiara doesn't clash.

00:31:30Yeah!

00:31:32Yeah!

00:31:58Yeah!

00:32:00Let's call this music, huh?

00:32:02Right.

00:32:03See, I don't think these kids know what real music is.

00:32:06Remember Crosby, Sills, and Nash?

00:32:08Yeah, the Righteous Brothers.

00:32:10Remember, you lost that love and feeling?

00:32:12They don't play music like that these days.

00:32:14Yeah, see, maybe they'd like to hear some of it.

00:32:16Maybe they're tired of this canned stuff.

00:32:18They'd like to hear some real music.

00:32:20I could go get my guitar.

00:32:22And I'll just hide in the case.

00:32:24Thank you!

00:32:25Thank you!

00:32:26See, that's not what you said when I sang at our prom.

00:32:29Remember?

00:32:30I do, I recall.

00:32:31You said I was groovy.

00:32:33That's not true.

00:32:35I never said you were groovy.

00:32:37I never said the word groovy.

00:32:39It's a stupid word, groovy.

00:32:41You probably said you were groovy.

00:32:43Why do you always have to put me down because I'm a musician?

00:32:46Reality alert, Larry.

00:32:48You're not a musician.

00:32:49You're a salesman.

00:32:51Yeah, thanks for never letting me forget it.

00:32:53May I have some punch, please, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson?

00:32:55Yes, of course.

00:32:56How you doing?

00:32:58Oh!

00:32:59Oh!

00:33:00Oh!

00:33:01Oh!

00:33:02Oh!

00:33:03Oh!

00:33:04Oh!

00:33:05Oh!

00:33:06Oh!

00:33:07Oh!

00:33:08Oh!

00:33:15Damn!

00:33:16Not a bullet.

00:33:17Do you know any prayers, Samuel Bowen?

00:33:20They're going to charge any minute, Skip.

00:33:23Wait!

00:33:24I'm going to die. I'm simply going to die.

00:33:30They're only 10th graders.

00:33:3210th graders from Hoover High.

00:33:35Everybody knows me at that school.

00:33:37If they see me, the whole world will find out that I didn't have a date to the prom,

00:33:41and you have no idea how humiliating that would be.

00:33:43Hey, guys, let's move up a little closer.

00:33:45Oh, my God! They're coming this way!

00:33:47Do something!

00:33:49Oh, no!

00:33:51Oh, my God! They're coming this way!

00:33:53Do something!

00:33:55Oh, no!

00:33:57No!

00:33:59Yeah, come on.

00:34:01I can't believe it!

00:34:03Hey, look at that girl on the ground!

00:34:05Maybe she dropped some change.

00:34:07Get off those seats.

00:34:09Who do you think you are?

00:34:11I am an usher, thank you very much.

00:34:13Why do you think I have this tux on, huh?

00:34:15To go to the prom?

00:34:17Well, we're not doing nothing.

00:34:19Give me that lip, young man.

00:34:21Now sit down and be quiet.

00:34:23There are decent people in this theater, and they're trying to watch ants.

00:34:25Yes, sir.

00:34:37Miss. Miss. Miss. Miss.

00:34:39Miss. Miss.

00:34:41Here, let me help you.

00:34:43Too much candy, eh?

00:34:45Can't tell you how many times I've seen this happen.

00:34:47It's a sad sight.

00:34:53This is a nightmare.

00:34:55This is horrible.

00:34:57This is worse than the time that I had a milk mustache

00:34:59and everyone was staring at me.

00:35:01Oh, yeah, right, yeah.

00:35:03I caught that on Nightline, I think.

00:35:05Look, do you have a car?

00:35:07No, I took a limo.

00:35:09I couldn't afford to have him stay all night for me.

00:35:13I suppose I could give you a ride home.

00:35:15Home? I can't go home.

00:35:17My little sister's there. She hates me.

00:35:19If she found out that I didn't have a date to the prom,

00:35:21she'd tell all the junior high kids,

00:35:23and then all my friends would find out,

00:35:25and then the whole world would know, and then, and then...

00:35:27The, uh, milk mustache.

00:35:29Exactly.

00:35:31Look, um,

00:35:33I can't go home either.

00:35:35Um, so if you want to

00:35:37and you don't mind too terribly much,

00:35:39you know,

00:35:41you could hang out with me all night.

00:35:43I don't think that that's...

00:35:45Yeah, hey, that was a stupid idea.

00:35:47I don't know what got into me.

00:35:53That's Phil Hargrove and Donna Munson

00:35:55who used to date my best friend's brother Dave.

00:35:57What did you do?

00:35:59Write your name on a wall somewhere?

00:36:01Where's your car?

00:36:03Right out here.

00:36:05No, let's go the back way.

00:36:07Come on.

00:36:09What?

00:36:11Excuse me.

00:36:13Really nice of you to invite me for dinner

00:36:15and cook for me.

00:36:17Oh, I'm not sure how long I can stay, Dr. Lefkowitz.

00:36:19I have an early patient in the morning.

00:36:21He suffers from displaced aggression,

00:36:23and if I'm late,

00:36:25he breaks all my pencil points.

00:36:27Please, will you call me Jack?

00:36:29Hmm?

00:36:31Cooking's just one of the ways

00:36:33that I like to express the yin,

00:36:35the feminine, the sensitive part of my personality.

00:36:37What's your poison?

00:36:39Banana daiquiri.

00:36:41You know, I don't get to meet

00:36:43many really sensitive men.

00:36:45Well, except this one patient I have,

00:36:47but, of course,

00:36:49he's heavily medicated.

00:36:51I'll tell you the truth, Cecile.

00:36:53I think one of the reasons

00:36:55that my own sensitivity awareness is so heightened

00:36:57is I know what it's like to go through a divorce

00:36:59and try to raise a child alone.

00:37:01I'm all out of bananas.

00:37:03I hope you don't mind bourbon.

00:37:05So you have a child, huh?

00:37:07Mm-hmm, yeah, but not to worry.

00:37:09He's going to be out late tonight,

00:37:11so you and I have this place to ourselves

00:37:13until morning.

00:37:15He's at the senior prom.

00:37:17Oh, well, then what's his corsage doing here?

00:37:19Oh, well, he must have forgotten that.

00:37:23You smell so nice.

00:37:25Don't you think that's just a little insensitive?

00:37:27I mean, just imagine

00:37:29his feelings of embarrassment

00:37:31and inadequacy,

00:37:33you know, something like that.

00:37:35Inadequacy?

00:37:37You know, something like this

00:37:39could really scar him emotionally.

00:37:41Yeah, yeah, it could.

00:37:43Listen, you want to come downstairs

00:37:45and kick your shoes off?

00:37:47I think you should drive this over to the prom.

00:37:49What? No, no, forget that.

00:37:51I mean, no, I think that would just embarrass him even more.

00:37:53You know how fragile the male adolescent ego is?

00:37:55Oh, yes, I do.

00:37:57I wrote a paper on it.

00:37:59Come on, let's take it to him.

00:38:02All right, all right.

00:38:04Take him to flower.

00:38:13Hi, may I take your order?

00:38:15Uh, yes, please.

00:38:17Um, I'll have two bobbin burgers,

00:38:19two regular fries, and two large ice waters, please.

00:38:21And I'd like a Moby Fish burger,

00:38:23the whale-sized fries, onion rings,

00:38:25a chocolate shake, a cherry pie,

00:38:27and a couple of shrimp kebabs.

00:38:29That'll be all.

00:38:31That'll be $12.86.

00:38:33Pull forward to the window, please.

00:38:35Thank you.

00:38:37No, don't.

00:38:39What the hell are you doing?

00:38:41What?

00:38:43I know that kid's voice.

00:38:45Who? What?

00:38:47That's Stanley Lamar, his locker's next to mine.

00:38:49Oh.

00:38:51He'll recognize me.

00:38:53What?

00:38:55Oh.

00:38:57What's the matter with you?

00:38:59What's the matter with me?

00:39:01Yes, please, tell me.

00:39:03Okay, we can't go to Pizzarama

00:39:05because Michelle Fordham is the waitress there.

00:39:07We can't go to Dairy Maid

00:39:09because J.J. Koren and all of his friends go there.

00:39:11And we can't go to Hudson

00:39:13because that's where all the kids go after the prom.

00:39:15And all the other hangouts are closed by now.

00:39:17That's fine. Okay.

00:39:19We'll just drive around till morning.

00:39:21But I'm hungry.

00:39:23All right, I've got an idea.

00:39:25My dad gave me $100.

00:39:27I know this restaurant downtown my dad sometimes goes to.

00:39:29I'm positive you'll see none of your friends there.

00:39:31Fine.

00:39:41Oh, this looks fabulous, Kevin.

00:39:43It's an Italian specialty, my personal favorite.

00:39:45I order it all the time.

00:39:47I forget what it's called.

00:39:49Zabaglione.

00:39:51You're welcome.

00:39:53I ordered Zabaglione.

00:39:55I knew that.

00:39:57You know, you're different than most of the girls I know.

00:39:59You're smart.

00:40:01And I like that, sort of.

00:40:03You mean it?

00:40:05Sure. I mean, why else would I have asked you out?

00:40:11Uh, wait.

00:40:13This is another Italian specialty.

00:40:17Okay.

00:40:19Wait, wait, wait.

00:40:21Yeah.

00:40:23Okay.

00:40:25You like it?

00:40:27Yes.

00:40:29Good?

00:40:31Mm-hmm.

00:40:39Look at them.

00:40:41Eating out of the same dish.

00:40:43What are they, dogs?

00:40:45Weird.

00:40:47Sharing is nice.

00:40:49What are they?

00:40:51Germs.

00:40:53This happens to be the cold and flu season.

00:40:55Lucky for her, I got a quantity discount on this drink.

00:41:07Wow.

00:41:09This really is a nice place.

00:41:11Everything looks so classy.

00:41:13Oh, and the food looks terrific.

00:41:15The food is superb here.

00:41:17To you, you will not see anyone here from Hoover High.

00:41:19Good.

00:41:21May I describe our specials this evening?

00:41:23Our fresh fish is calamari, squid

00:41:25sautéed in garlic and butter.

00:41:27Or,

00:41:29for our less adventurous diners,

00:41:31we...

00:41:33What are you doing?

00:41:35We have a surf and turf special.

00:41:37What's going on?

00:41:39It's Kevin McCray. He's right over there.

00:41:41If he sees me with you, it will be

00:41:43the most humiliating moment of my life.

00:41:45It's worse than squatting under a table in a four-star restaurant.

00:41:47It's worse than humiliating.

00:41:49Did you see who he was with? Did you?

00:41:51It's Doll Stroll, the geekiest girl in the whole class.

00:41:53And worse than that,

00:41:55she's beautiful.

00:41:57So what do you suggest we do?

00:41:59Crawl out of here on our hands and knees?

00:42:01Excuse me.

00:42:03Shh.

00:42:05Follow me.

00:42:07Follow me.

00:42:09Grazie, signore.

00:42:11Yeah, yeah.

00:42:15$63?

00:42:17For the natural bounty of the earth?

00:42:19Well, this green thing I had was quite tasty.

00:42:21Shelly!

00:42:23Shelly!

00:42:25I'm just glad you didn't order what they did.

00:42:33They're leaving.

00:42:35Let's roll, Mother.

00:42:37Where's your wallet?

00:42:39In my purse at home.

00:42:41What's wrong?

00:42:43Oh, this is just perfect.

00:42:45This is just great.

00:42:47Well, we'll just talk to the manager. I'm sure he'll understand.

00:42:49Darling, we cannot spend an hour

00:42:51sitting in a room talking to an Italian.

00:42:53Well, what are we going to do then?

00:42:55Okay, here's the plan.

00:42:57We're just going to get up

00:42:59and casually walk out of here.

00:43:01Let's go.

00:43:03This is embarrassing. You're going to make a scene.

00:43:05Besides, it's immoral.

00:43:07Oh, really?

00:43:09What do you call charging $63 for spaghetti?

00:43:13Just, uh, act natural.

00:43:25Well, Ad, Drew.

00:43:27Oh, Reverend Swally, we're so sorry.

00:43:29Please forgive us.

00:43:31Oh, of course. I understand.

00:43:33Hey, you in a rush?

00:43:35Oh!

00:43:37We've got the weekend off!

00:44:01I hate this music.

00:44:03I hate it. It's driving me nuts.

00:44:05I mean, it's just noise.

00:44:21So when can we go home?

00:44:23In the morning.

00:44:25What?

00:44:27In the morning!

00:44:29No, no, that wasn't an I didn't hear you what.

00:44:31That was like a what the hell are you talking about what.

00:44:33Patrice's after prom party, remember?

00:44:35We promised Patrice

00:44:37she didn't have to have a chaperone, remember?

00:44:39Okay, okay, let me get this straight.

00:44:41You and I have to spend

00:44:43the next 8 to 10 hours together?

00:44:45What the hell are we going to do?

00:44:47Well, we can certainly

00:44:49rule out sex.

00:44:51Oh, what a shot!

00:44:53What a shot. Well, prior to me,

00:44:55Miss Joan Collins.

00:44:57And I suppose that's all my fault.

00:44:59No, right, I suppose I'm just

00:45:01the lousiest lover in the world.

00:45:03Yeah, I suppose

00:45:05and that's the only reason why

00:45:07we haven't made love in two years.

00:45:17Good.

00:45:19Good one, Larry.

00:45:21Really done it this time.

00:45:23Now you just stay

00:45:25the hell away from me.

00:45:31This is a very special night

00:45:33for Roger and me.

00:45:35I mean, not only does it signal the end of my era

00:45:37as head of the prom committee,

00:45:39captain of the girls' golf team,

00:45:41and female lead in the drama club's production

00:45:43of South Pacific, but also because

00:45:45we're here with you, our friends.

00:45:47And no matter what honors

00:45:49Roger and I may achieve in the future

00:45:51or even here tonight,

00:45:53we'll always look down at you with fondness.

00:45:55Right, Roger?

00:45:57Yeah, we're all loaded here.

00:46:00Hey, look.

00:46:02Kevin's here. Hey, Kevin.

00:46:04Ho, ho, ho.

00:46:06All right, who is that with him?

00:46:08Is she a fox or what?

00:46:16Oh, my God.

00:46:18She must be a college girl.

00:46:20I've never seen her at this school before.

00:46:22Yes, you have. That's Angela Strahl.

00:46:24Look at this.

00:46:29Oh, my God.

00:46:45Here we go.

00:46:47It'll be what you said the last time.

00:46:49Look, it's time. Trust me.

00:46:51Hey, you, come here.

00:46:54What is the matter with you?

00:46:56We're running out of crab puffs.

00:46:58Get in there.

00:47:00Crab puffs?

00:47:02Well, uh, of course.

00:47:04Coming right up.

00:47:06Why didn't you bring more crab puffs?

00:47:08And how many times do I have to tell you

00:47:10to wear a white jacket?

00:47:12Oh, my God.

00:47:25You see her anywhere?

00:47:27There she is.

00:47:29Surrounded by punks.

00:47:33Oh, don't let her see you.

00:47:38Whoa, bro, she's a primo.

00:47:40You really know how to pick her.

00:47:42Yeah, she is. She really is.

00:47:44Wow, your dress. I love it. It's way cool.

00:47:46Oh, thank you.

00:47:48Your dress is very...

00:47:50Oh, wait. And nice, too.

00:47:52Um, so how long have you and Kevin been dating?

00:47:54Since 7.30.

00:47:56That's funny.

00:48:00So, uh, so, Angela, you want to dance?

00:48:02I don't know, Wallace. I don't dance all that well.

00:48:04Don't worry. Neither does he.

00:48:06Come on.

00:48:11Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

00:48:13Dance until your feet fall off

00:48:15Dance until your feet fall off

00:48:23Hey!

00:48:27Oh, Ed, isn't she beautiful out there?

00:48:29She certainly is.

00:48:31Gonna have her mind to go out there and drag her home.

00:48:33Oh, Ed, you promised.

00:48:35I know. I know.

00:48:37She's never betrayed our trust before.

00:48:39Ed, she's 18. She can vote.

00:48:41I'm not too crazy about that, either.

00:48:43Ed, she voted Republican.

00:48:45What more do you want?

00:48:47She is a good girl, isn't she?

00:48:49Yeah.

00:48:51Come on, Ed. Let's dance.

00:48:53Thank you. No.

00:48:55Mother, the roof.

00:48:57Dance until your feet fall off

00:49:07Hey!

00:49:09It's about time you two got here.

00:49:11Morris called in sick four hours ago.

00:49:13You. Breaks over.

00:49:15Hit the kitchen. Clean the grease trap.

00:49:27Look at her, Roger.

00:49:29I don't get it.

00:49:31You tell me.

00:49:33Why is everybody making such a big fuss over her?

00:49:35Huh?

00:49:37Dance until your feet fall off

00:49:39Dance until your feet fall off

00:49:41Dance until your feet fall off

00:49:43Dance until your feet fall off

00:49:45Dance until your feet fall off

00:49:47I really think you've made the right decision for eating this corsage.

00:49:49Oh, yeah.

00:49:51Excuse me. Could you get that to Dan Lefcourt?

00:49:53Dan Lefcourt?

00:49:55Lefcourt. Big Dan.

00:49:57Are you sure he came to the prom?

00:49:59Of course I'm sure.

00:50:01My son missed his own prom.

00:50:03Had a good-looking date lined up, too.

00:50:05Nice rental tux.

00:50:07But he bought this corsage, and it was a good deal.

00:50:09I'm sure he'll come back.

00:50:11I'm sure he'll come back.

00:50:13I'm sure he'll come back.

00:50:15Nice rental tux.

00:50:17But he bought this corsage, and...

00:50:19Well, there's no Dan Lefcourt on the list.

00:50:21He never bought a ticket.

00:50:23Never bought a ticket?

00:50:25Well, now, what's the problem? I'm sure there's...

00:50:27Well, the problem is my son lied to me.

00:50:29My son lied to me. That's the problem.

00:50:31Well, not necessarily.

00:50:33I'm sure there's...

00:50:35Mmm.

00:50:37Mmm.

00:50:39Mmm.

00:50:41Mmm.

00:50:43Did you see the way Kevin kept staring at her?

00:50:47Do you think he likes her?

00:50:49uh, I mean, like...

00:50:51like really, really likes her?

00:50:53Oh.

00:50:55Well, I don't know if he really, really, really...

00:50:59likes her.

00:51:01Mmm.

00:51:03But... I mean, don't get me wrong.

00:51:05I think... I think he really likes her.

00:51:07This is not funny, okay?

00:51:09Kevin and I went out for four years.

00:51:11deeply in love with him. Yeah, why? Well, he's popular. This, this is deep. Hey, look on

00:51:28the bright side, only seven hours and 46 minutes to go. And then the prom's gonna

00:51:34let out in a couple of hours and the streets are gonna be swarming with

00:51:37people I know. Wait a minute here. Hold on for a second. I know this place outside of

00:51:45town. I'm sure none of your friends would go there. It better be way outside of

00:51:51town. Where is it? Another planet.

00:52:07Okay, everybody. It's the magic hour. Time to announce the king and queen of the Hoover

00:52:27High senior prom. And here to announce the winners is the head of the prom

00:52:41committee, your very own Patrice Johnson.

00:52:49Thank you. Thank you so very much. Principal Tidwell, teachers, mom, dad,

00:52:56fellow students, it is my great privilege to announce the highest honor

00:52:59that Hoover High School can bestow upon a student. What is a queen? A queen must

00:53:05be beautiful, of course, but she must also be fair, wise, intelligent, popular, and

00:53:10have a C in phys ed. The king, too. Given such strict criteria, there can only be

00:53:15one choice for such an honor. So your prom king for this year is...

00:53:27Kevin McRae.

00:53:30Congratulations, Kevin. Tough luck, Roger. I voted for you. And now, the moment that

00:53:49you've all been waiting for. Your prom queen is...

00:54:01Shelly Sheridan.

00:54:10This is all your fault. Huh? Remember when you went through your punk rock period?

00:54:15Your spite's here reflected on me. So, Kevin and Shelly, would you like to come up and

00:54:20get your little aluminum crown things? Oh, wait. Wait, stop. Shelly Sheridan isn't

00:54:29here, ladies and gentlemen. So, as head of your prom committee, I've moved that we

00:54:34elect a new queen.

00:54:37Wow. I come up here a lot. I call it Space Mountain. See, it's the best place to look

00:54:51at the stars because it's the farthest away from all the light pollution. You want to

00:54:58see a galaxy? Yeah. Um, right there. I can't see. That cloud's in the way. No, that cloud

00:55:10is a galaxy. Oops. It's the Milky Way. Right now, you're looking at about 100,000 million

00:55:19stars. Give or take a few. How'd you learn all this stuff? Um, I don't know. Um, I guess

00:55:31astronomy's a good hobby. You know, when you have your nights free, and those nights are

00:55:38usually on Saturday nights. My Saturday nights aren't all that great either. What are you

00:55:46talking about? You've always got dates. You're always invited to parties. You're the most

00:55:53popular girl in our school. Yeah. But why do you think being popular is so important

00:56:01to me? I have no idea. Let's put it this way. You're not the only one who feels alone inside.

00:56:13Maybe we just handle it in different ways.

00:56:19You're standing in front of Venus, kid. Fred.

00:56:25Danny. How's it going? Good night tonight, eh? Well, it's a little hazy down here, but up there, it is a miraculous night. Four planets in conjunction.

00:56:37Oh, Fred, this is Shelly. Hi. Fred's the most brilliant man I've ever met. Are you a professor at Central?

00:56:44No, I'm a toll collector on the Turnpike. Did you get a look at the Pleiades? Why? Are they crooked?

00:56:51No, no. No, it's a constellation. What are you doing with this nerd? No, Fred. She's not a nerd. You and I, we're nerds.

00:57:06I'm sorry, but when it comes to this stuff, I'm, like, really dumb. I mean, when I look up at the stars, all I see are stars.

00:57:17See, that's why the ancient Greeks used to make up stories so they could remember the constellations. Like the Pleiades.

00:57:25That's so cool. What's that star over there, the real bright one?

00:57:31That's not a star. That's Venus. Here, take a look. You look through the little end. Don't touch the knobs.

00:57:40Even I know who Venus was. The goddess of love, right? That's right. Venus was the most beautiful goddess ever.

00:57:50She dated a lot, and all the other gods wanted to marry her. So who'd she choose?

00:58:01That's funny. She married Vulcan. What's so funny about that?

00:58:12Nothing, I guess. Vulcan was, you know, a nice guy and everything. It's just that, you know, he was the ugliest god in the heavens.

00:58:22Sort of like a nerd god.

00:58:26Okay, okay, all the votes have been counted. Excuse me, excuse me.

00:58:41Thank you. Principal Tidwell, teachers, fellow students, it is my great pleasure to announce Hoover High School's senior prom queen...

00:58:52Angela Struhl.

00:59:22Congratulations!

00:59:52Thank you.

01:00:23I'm sorry. I'm falling. Take my breath away tonight. Heaven is calling. I'm dreaming. I'm flying.

01:00:40I am so proud, Ant. Our little Angel is queen of the prom. Can you believe that?

01:00:48It's a once-in-a-lifetime magic that I feel.

01:00:55I'm standing here, smoked away. Is it fantasy or real?

01:01:02All my emotions are rushing through my mind. I'll cherish it when I'm old.

01:01:12Kevin, I have to ask you something. Out of all the girls in school, why'd you ask me?

01:01:22So happy. So lucky. Out of everybody.

01:01:42Can I help you?

01:01:44Yeah, I'm through with this Tom Cruise. I'd like this Kevin Costner.

01:01:49Hey, hey, you were in here before, weren't you? You're friends with Angela Struhl.

01:01:54Yeah, that's right.

01:01:55Hey, you think maybe you could, uh, fix me up with her?

01:01:58Gee, I don't know. She's going out with Kevin McCray, you know.

01:02:02Yeah, I know. And I know why.

01:02:04What are you talking about?

01:02:06Come on, you know. Because Angela does it.

01:02:09Does what?

01:02:10Does it.

01:02:12My friend Maury told me that his friend Wallace told him that his friend Kevin is only going out with her tonight because Angela's got a mattress tied around her back.

01:02:23Hey, hey, hey, you gonna take that Kevin Costner or what?

01:02:31Was that a no?

01:02:34Come on, you can do it.

01:02:35Try it.

01:02:36Try harder.

01:02:37Come on.

01:02:40She's hard enough.

01:02:42Okay, now move your arm.

01:02:44Clap.

01:02:46There you go. That's it.

01:02:50I really appreciate this, Shelly.

01:02:52Oh, don't mention it. You're getting it.

01:02:55Yeah, right.

01:02:57Do you always have to wear your glasses?

01:02:59No, um, I just need them for reading. But I like them.

01:03:14I think you look good without them.

01:03:16I can see your eyes.

01:03:25Someone's coming.

01:03:27Brett, can I see this for a second?

01:03:33You're a little low for Saturn.

01:03:36Wish I was on Saturn. It's my father.

01:03:57Look, I'm sorry about that. That was a stupid thing to do.

01:04:13Doesn't even matter anymore, Larry.

01:04:15Look what's become of us. We're like two caged animals.

01:04:19Yeah, you're right.

01:04:23I just wish there was something we could do about it.

01:04:26There is.

01:04:29Monday morning, let's call the lawyer...

01:04:33and tell him we're ready to start divorce proceedings.

01:04:40Yeah. Absolutely.

01:04:43I mean, it'd be crazy to go on like this.

01:04:46Whoever thought it would turn out like this?

01:04:50Hoover High, class of 66.

01:04:53A couple most likely to get married.

01:04:56Yeah, and we did. We did, just like everybody said we should.

01:05:00Hello, baby. And now it's time for a little slow dance.

01:05:06Slow dance.

01:05:22Perfect. They're playing our song.

01:05:25That's how it all got started.

01:05:30I guess it's appropriate it should end on the same note.

01:05:34In that case, I think we should have one last dance.

01:06:04Love me like you used to do

01:06:12We had a love, a love, a love we don't find every day

01:06:21So don't, don't, don't, don't let it slip away

01:06:29Baby, baby, baby

01:06:33I'm beggin' you please

01:06:36I'm beggin' you please

01:06:39I need your love

01:06:42I need your love

01:06:45I'm beggin' on that

01:06:48Yeah, I'm beggin' on that

01:06:51Bring back that love feeling

01:06:57Whoa, that love feeling

01:07:02Bring back that love feeling

01:07:06Now it's gone, gone, gone

01:07:10And I can't go on

01:07:20Larry.

01:07:22Bring back that love feeling

01:07:27Whoa, that love feeling

01:07:32Bring back that love feeling

01:07:36Now it's gone, gone, gone

01:07:42Bring back that love feeling

01:07:48Whoa, that love feeling

01:07:53Where are you?

01:07:55Come on, I know you're up here.

01:07:57That nut ought to see a psychiatrist.

01:08:00As long as it isn't me.

01:08:05Hey, could you give me a lift home?

01:08:08Well, I...

01:08:11Sure.

01:08:14This is a miraculous night.

01:08:17Hey, Cecile, wait a minute.

01:08:19We're in the middle of a date.

01:08:21A date? No, no, this is not a date.

01:08:23This is a session with cocktails.

01:08:26It's not a session. No, look, I'm just sharing with you...

01:08:28All right, all right, listen to me.

01:08:30Why do you think you're so angry with your son?

01:08:33I told you, because he lied to me.

01:08:35And why do you think he lied?

01:08:37Well, he couldn't get a date.

01:08:39Now, why should that be so important to you?

01:08:42Because I want him to be...

01:08:44To be what? Exactly like you?

01:08:48Well, rest assured,

01:08:50you and your son do have something in common now.

01:08:57Neither one of you has a date.

01:09:06Yo, yo, time to go.

01:09:09What a night, what a night.

01:09:11Super high-end. It was beautiful.

01:09:13It was wonderful. Good night.

01:09:25Flowers for me?

01:09:27Yeah, well, I got them off the centerpiece,

01:09:29but people were taking them. You could take them home.

01:09:31Okay, thank you.

01:09:33Very nice.

01:09:36So, uh, what do you want to do?

01:09:39I mean, we have this whole night to kill.

01:09:43I don't know. I mean, I wouldn't even know where to go.

01:09:46It's been so long since we've had a night on the town.

01:09:49It's been, what, uh...

01:09:51Two years.

01:09:54Maybe we could go where we went after our prom.

01:09:59Oh, Ed, it looks like she's about to leave.

01:10:01Let's go so she doesn't see us.

01:10:03Yeah, I'm out of shrimp toast, anyway.

01:10:06Let's, uh, go home, Mother.

01:10:09Well, Ed, what's gotten into you?

01:10:12Oh, I was just thinking about how sexy you looked on our prom night.

01:10:16Remember what I said when I was a kid?

01:10:18I said, you know what?

01:10:20I don't know. I don't know.

01:10:22I don't know.

01:10:24I don't know.

01:10:27Remember what I said when I first saw you in that dress?

01:10:30Yeah. Where's the zipper?

01:10:33That very dress that Angela is wearing right now.

01:10:38Oh, Ed, look at her.

01:10:40She just looks so happy.

01:10:42Mother, we are not leaving.

01:10:44What?

01:10:47Quick, quick.

01:10:49Hide behind these balloons.

01:10:52Angela, Laurie and Cindy and me are going to the ladies' room.

01:10:55You want to come, too?

01:10:57Well, if you're sure I'm not imposing.

01:10:59Oh, don't be silly. You're quitting the prom. Come on.

01:11:02Uh, Patrice, you want to hold Angela's crown?

01:11:05Of course.

01:11:10So, uh, you done anything tonight, Kevin?

01:11:13Yeah, I won Wimbledon. Of course I haven't done anything yet.

01:11:16Well, what are you waiting for, man?

01:11:18Nothing.

01:11:20It's just that Angela's a lot different than I expected.

01:11:23I think maybe you guys are wrong about her.

01:11:26You chickening out, stud?

01:11:28No.

01:11:30I'm just waiting for the right time to make my move.

01:11:33Oh, right, like at Patrice's party?

01:11:35Yeah, right, at the party.

01:11:37All right, I knew our stud would not let us down.

01:11:43Angela.

01:11:45Finally. I've been waiting here for over an hour.

01:11:47Margaret, I can't believe you're here.

01:11:49Tonight has been the most amazing night.

01:11:51I went to the video store to rent this cassette.

01:11:53Margaret, I was named prom queen.

01:11:55And there was this real jerk behind the counter.

01:11:57It was like a dream.

01:11:59And he told me the real reason why Kevin asked you out to the prom.

01:12:01Margaret, it was incredible. Kevin is incredible.

01:12:03Kevin only asked you out to the prom because he heard that you were easy.

01:12:07What?

01:12:09Kevin only asked you out tonight because he heard that you were easy.

01:12:12No, I don't believe it.

01:12:14Oh, believe it.

01:12:16I'm not the Alice who told Maury who told this jerk behind the counter who told me.

01:12:20Well, that doesn't mean it's true. Kevin really likes me.

01:12:23Angela, you have never been asked out in your entire life...

01:12:26and then on the night of the prom, the coolest kid in school comes up and asks you out?

01:12:30You've never gone out on a date in your life.

01:12:33Just get your stuff and let's get out of here.

01:12:35I'm not going anywhere with you.

01:12:37Look, I'm having too good of a time. I'm staying with Kevin.

01:12:40Angela, you have to listen to me. I'm your friend.

01:12:42No.

01:12:44What I want you to know is that this is the best night of my entire life...

01:12:47and I am not going to let you ruin it.

01:13:15I can't keep driving around all night.

01:13:17Um, we can just hang out here until morning.

01:13:20Okay. How much longer do we have?

01:13:23Um, a couple hours.

01:13:27Great.

01:13:29So, Shelly...

01:13:32what are you going to do with your life?

01:13:35I don't know.

01:13:38I don't know.

01:13:41I don't know.

01:13:44I never really thought about it. I mean, I do think about it a lot, but...

01:13:49I still don't know.

01:13:52Looks like neither of us know what we're going to do.

01:13:57Yeah.

01:14:02I'm scared, Dan.

01:14:07Me too.

01:14:12Oh, my God.

01:14:15Do you have any idea where we are?

01:14:18This is where everyone goes to make out.

01:14:20We're parked at Mount Everest.

01:14:24So, this is it.

01:14:26I have looked for this place. I cannot tell you how many times.

01:14:29This is great.

01:14:31Oh, gosh.

01:14:41This is a nightmare. That's Joe Schell and Claudia Wallach.

01:14:45Look, look, look.

01:14:47That's Dan Spurlock and Annie Palmer.

01:14:50Any second, they're going to look over here and they're going to see me.

01:14:52Will you please do something?

01:15:06Nice prom.

01:15:08Are you trying to be funny?

01:15:10Do you have any idea what happened tonight, Roger?

01:15:13We lost. We're losers.

01:15:16You know, I was planning on getting into the best royalty at Central,

01:15:19but now I'll be lucky if we're rushed by an audiovisual club.

01:15:22Excuse me. You kids realize it's time and a half after midnight, don't you?

01:15:26Huh?

01:15:27Time and a half.

01:15:29It means you pay him a little extra, Roger, along with the appropriate tip.

01:15:32What's the big deal?

01:15:34Well, you know, I bought you that ring.

01:15:37Yes, so?

01:15:39I only have 32 cents left.

01:15:49I cannot believe that you've done this to me.

01:15:52This is all your fault.

01:15:53My fault?

01:15:54Yes, you're the one who didn't bring enough money.

01:15:56Yeah, but you're the one who called him a dweeb.

01:16:10Come on!

01:16:22Jeff!

01:16:26Where the hell's Patrice? Huh?

01:16:30You know, Kevin, we don't have to go to the party.

01:16:33We could just go down to Hud's and talk.

01:16:36You know, maybe that would be better anyway.

01:16:40Yeah, sure.

01:16:42We could do that.

01:16:43Great.

01:16:45You mean it, Kevin?

01:16:47Sure, yeah.

01:16:49Just hold on for a second, okay?

01:16:51Okay.

01:16:55Bad news, guys.

01:16:57Angela wants to go to Hud's.

01:16:59And since there's no way to get to the house anyway,

01:17:01it looks like we're going to have to go out a few more times before we...

01:17:04You know, it's too bad.

01:17:06It's no problem, dude.

01:17:09Here you go.

01:17:16Thanks, thanks.

01:17:21Remember walking through the park after our prom?

01:17:24Yeah, I remember talking for hours about the future.

01:17:29You were going to hitch a ride to Los Angeles

01:17:31and see if the mamas and papas needed a bass player?

01:17:34Yeah, and you were going to join the Peace Corps

01:17:36and go to Zimbabwe and stage a violent overthrow of the government.

01:17:40Yeah.

01:17:45Hey, hey, hey.

01:17:46What?

01:17:47Look at this.

01:17:48Wait a minute.

01:17:49What?

01:17:50It's here.

01:17:51It's here.

01:17:52Look, see?

01:17:53Larry loves Nancy, 66.

01:17:54You remember?

01:17:55Yeah.

01:17:56You remember what happened next?

01:17:57Right after I carved this?

01:18:00You proposed to me.

01:18:02Yeah, and then the next thing, I know I'm out looking for a job.

01:18:05I'm renting an apartment.

01:18:06I'm buying a house.

01:18:08Then Patrice came.

01:18:13We were too young.

01:18:20If you had it to do over again,

01:18:25would you still marry me?

01:18:35No.

01:18:44There's no one home.

01:18:46This is so unbelievable.

01:18:48Everybody's standing around outside waiting for me to show up so the party can start.

01:19:06Come on, come on, come on.

01:19:20Dad.

01:19:22We just go on home.

01:19:23I'm sure this party is chaperoned.

01:19:26And who is their chaperone, hmm?

01:19:29Caligula?

01:19:31Boom, that's a boom, boom.

01:19:44Having a good time tonight?

01:19:46Best night of my life, Kevin.

01:19:49I just, I just don't want anything to ruin it.

01:19:53You know what I mean?

01:19:55We're gonna go home.

01:20:01Let's get away from these jerks, huh?

01:20:03Where?

01:20:05Well, we could, uh, go upstairs.

01:20:10What for?

01:20:12Just to, uh, you know, talk.

01:20:17Okay.

01:20:30We're home!

01:20:46You know, Kevin,

01:20:48before tonight, I felt kind of,

01:20:52I don't know, out of it.

01:20:55Like I didn't fit in anywhere.

01:20:58I mean, I didn't have too many friends at school.

01:21:01Only one, really.

01:21:03And my parents are so really hard to talk to.

01:21:08And now it's like in one night, my whole life is changing.

01:21:14I feel like somebody.

01:21:17And it's all because of you.

01:21:22I really like you, Angela.

01:21:26Oh, no!

01:21:34Kevin, don't, please.

01:21:36Angela, let's just not say anything, okay?

01:21:39No, Kevin, don't stop!

01:21:43This is the reason you asked me to the prom!

01:21:46No! How could you say that?

01:21:49I didn't say that, you said that.

01:21:51To Wallace, who told Murray,

01:21:53to some kid in the video store who told Margaret, who told me!

01:21:57Okay, wait.

01:21:58Now, maybe that was the reason that I asked you at first.

01:22:01But now that I've gotten to know you, I really do like you.

01:22:04I mean it, Angela.

01:22:05You got it backwards, Kevin!

01:22:07You should have liked me first!

01:22:09Okay. You're right.

01:22:12But, I mean, we could still go out together, can't we?

01:22:16No. It's too late.

01:22:24I can't believe this has happened.

01:22:26We've only got a dollar and 20 cents left.

01:22:28We're miles away from my house.

01:22:30We're gonna end up in a news report on the homeless.

01:22:33Well, can't we call up Lori or Marina or somebody?

01:22:36Roger, all our friends are at my house.

01:22:38Well, where are your parents?

01:22:40I don't know.

01:22:41They promised they'd go out someplace.

01:22:43They won't be back till morning.

01:22:45All right, okay. We can call my dad.

01:22:48Roger, understand this, okay?

01:22:50I will not arrive at my apres prom party

01:22:53in an exterminator's van with a rubber roach on the top.

01:22:59Hey, you kids go to Hoover High?

01:23:01Yes. Yes, we do.

01:23:02Well, am I glad to see you.

01:23:04Oh, not as glad as we are to see you.

01:23:06You're in the senior class?

01:23:07Yes, that's right.

01:23:08Have you seen Dan Lefcourt? I've been looking all over for him.

01:23:10That geek? Why would we have seen him?

01:23:12I mean, he didn't go to the prom. He couldn't even get a date.

01:23:14Uh, well, we did see him buy croissants.

01:23:16That's why he's a geek.

01:23:17I mean, who's he trying to fool?

01:23:19His father.

01:23:22This is all his father's fault.

01:23:25Wait, wait, no! No!

01:23:27Uh, I'm sorry.

01:23:28Come back.

01:23:40Um, I believe we're the only ones left now.

01:23:45We're the only ones left now.

01:23:47Um, we could go home, but we don't have to.

01:23:56I'll give you ten bucks for the watch and six for the compact.

01:24:00You can keep your yo-yo.

01:24:03We're gonna need more than $16 to get a cab home from here.

01:24:09I can't believe it's come to this, Roger.

01:24:11But you know, I've learned something.

01:24:13I've learned that gold and diamonds and jewels aren't the most important thing in the world.

01:24:17Money is.

01:24:19Here, take it.

01:24:24I'm sorry, Roger. I know how you must feel.

01:24:27I know that ring symbolized the strength of your commitment to me.

01:24:30Two bucks.

01:24:32What?

01:24:33Imitation zirconium.

01:24:44Hmm.

01:24:56Um, it's morning.

01:25:01Yeah.

01:25:04Um, we should probably go home now.

01:25:09Yeah.

01:25:11Um, you know, it's funny how things seem different in the morning.

01:25:19Yeah.

01:25:30Angela!

01:25:33What are you doing here?

01:25:35Margaret, you were so right about Kevin.

01:25:38Oh, my God, are you... are you okay?

01:25:42Never been better.

01:25:44God.

01:25:46What was it like?

01:25:47It was terrific. I dumped him.

01:25:50Oh, my God. You dumped Kevin McRae?

01:25:54Well, sure. I mean, after all, we made a pact to spend prom night together, remember?

01:25:59True, but one of us forgot.

01:26:01Oh, sure, you dumped your new friends and Kevin McRae, and now you want to come back to good old Margaret.

01:26:06Well, Margaret isn't here.

01:26:11Margaret, I was wrong.

01:26:13True.

01:26:15And you were right.

01:26:16True.

01:26:19It's just... it's just that nobody has ever treated me like that before.

01:26:27And I forgot who my best friend really was.

01:26:32Or is.

01:26:34Margaret, all I want to say is that I'm sorry.

01:26:58Oh, this is lovely.

01:27:00The perfect end to a perfectly horrible night.

01:27:04Well, it could be worse.

01:27:05Oh, really, Roger? Could it be worse?

01:27:08Why don't you tell me, Roger, how could it possibly be worse than this?

01:27:12You know, we have a noise ordinance in this city.

01:27:16Now, who's responsible for this party?

01:27:21You can't climb up there. You got orthopedic shoes on.

01:27:23Well, tell you what, Mother, get down on your hands and knees.

01:27:25I don't think prayer will help.

01:27:27I don't want to pray. I want to step on your back. I need a boost.

01:27:29That does it. Give me your keys. I'm going home.

01:27:32But...

01:27:33Give a...

01:27:34But...

01:27:39What the hell do you think you're doing?

01:28:00That's my house.

01:28:03Um...

01:28:05You better get out of here.

01:28:07Why?

01:28:09Well, you don't want anyone to see you get out of my car.

01:28:12Oh.

01:28:14Right.

01:28:17I'm still hungry.

01:28:21Um, the only place open at this time is Hungry's.

01:28:23Oh, yeah?

01:28:25Yeah.

01:28:27Um, the only place open at this time is Hunt's.

01:28:30And you don't want to go there.

01:28:32You know, that's where everybody goes after the prom, you know, for breakfast.

01:28:35Right.

01:28:37Yeah.

01:28:43Goodbye, then.

01:28:47Goodbye.

01:28:49Duh-duh-duh-duh.

01:28:55Thank God they released us before they made me wear one of those blue jumpsuits.

01:28:59We have criminal records now, Roger. We're ex-cons.

01:29:02Our futures, our lives, our very careers are ruined.

01:29:05And you can kiss any dreams of getting into a decent country club goodbye.

01:29:08I never wanted to be in a country club anyway.

01:29:10I'm going to pretend that I didn't hear that.

01:29:12So what? You never listened to me anyway.

01:29:14I'm not listening to this.

01:29:16Like when I told you I didn't want to become a CPA.

01:29:18I don't even want to go to college.

01:29:22I want to be a fireman.

01:29:27They brainwashed you in jail, didn't they, Roger?

01:29:29And one more thing, Patrice. I don't want to be pre-engaged or engaged or married to you.

01:29:42Dad, Mom.

01:29:43Honey, what happened to you?

01:29:45This has been the worst night of my entire life.

01:29:47Roger and I just broke up.

01:29:49Oh, sweetie, that's too bad.

01:29:51But you know what? It's probably for the best.

01:29:54What do you mean?

01:29:56Your mom's right, honey.

01:29:58You and Roger were pushing it a little.

01:30:00You don't want to make the same mistake we did.

01:30:03Don't say that. Your marriage wasn't a mistake.

01:30:06Yes, it was. At least getting married so young was.

01:30:11And it's taken us 20 years to correct it.

01:30:18Well, why Italy?

01:30:20I don't know. There's an art school there that I've always wanted to go to.

01:30:24Italy? Angela, that's a big step.

01:30:26What happened to you tonight?

01:30:28I'm not sure.

01:30:30All I know is that I started out as a dull stroll and wound up prom queen.

01:30:35If I can do that, I can do anything.

01:30:41All right, stud, man, you must have been really good.

01:30:44She is still smiling.

01:30:48Oh, my God!

01:30:50He didn't do anything.

01:30:52Neither did she.

01:30:54Get out of here or we'll put a whole place in the gang violence.

01:30:57All right, you listen to me, young lady.

01:30:59Get your things together. We're going straight home.

01:31:01Daddy, what are you doing here? I bailed him out.

01:31:04Right. Now get your things together. Let's go. We're going home.

01:31:07But I didn't do anything wrong. Nothing bad happened last night.

01:31:10Oh, really?

01:31:12What do you call running out on a restaurant check, hmm?

01:31:15What do you call sneaking into a private party?

01:31:17Destroying hotel property? Breaking a window?

01:31:19Oh, don't forget, being arrested for voyeurism, Ed.

01:31:22Right.

01:31:24But I didn't do any of those things.

01:31:26No, but I did!

01:31:28Hey, any of you kids seen Dan Lefcourt?

01:31:31Hey, look, buddy, wouldn't you just butt out? Thank you.

01:31:34Hey, I know you.

01:31:36Hoover High, class of 69, you're...

01:31:39Strull. Wildman Strull.

01:31:41Wildman?

01:31:43Well, just a nickname.

01:31:46Doesn't mean anything.

01:31:48Children are cruel.

01:31:50Remember the time you streaked the girls' gym class?

01:31:53Whoa! They let you back in school after that, huh?

01:31:56Yeah.

01:31:58You ran naked in front of girls?

01:32:00Well, it was, uh...

01:32:02Before I met your mother.

01:32:04And that, oh, the scandal, that everybody was talking,

01:32:07it was, like, the girl you got pregnant,

01:32:09her name was, uh...

01:32:11Ruth.

01:32:13Ruth! Yes, yes!

01:32:15Red-hot Ruth!

01:32:18Red-hot.

01:32:20Well, it's great seeing you again, Wildman.

01:32:25Honey, it's nothing like you think.

01:32:27You got married because you had to?

01:32:29Well, honey, you see, the reason we carry on this way

01:32:32is because, well, we hate to see you get in trouble the way we did.

01:32:35But you raised me to be a good person.

01:32:38So why can't you have a little bit of faith in me?

01:32:42Angela, you're right.

01:32:44I guess I'll just have to try. I promise.

01:32:48Thank you, Daddy.

01:32:50I promise to write you every week from Europe.

01:32:53Did you say Europe?

01:32:55Well, that's where I'm going after school to study art.

01:32:59I see, yes.

01:33:01It's not enough you went out with that punk tonight.

01:33:03You gotta go to a whole continent full of them.

01:33:05Ed, let's just go home.

01:33:17Wade, I remember you!

01:33:20You're the weenie!

01:33:22Look! Ed!

01:33:24Here, Ed's the weenie lapcord.

01:33:27It's Dr. Weenie, Dr. Leftcord.

01:33:29Hey, weenie!

01:33:31You remember the time you came to the prom with your aunt,

01:33:34tried to pretend you were dating a cocktail waitress?

01:33:37Oh, my gosh!

01:33:39Okay, all right, sure, all right.

01:33:41Maybe I might have been a little weenie-ish, but people can change.

01:33:45Good to see you, weenie.

01:33:57Oh, my God, Shelly, what are you doing with that dweeb?

01:34:05Going steady.

01:34:27Oh, my God!

01:34:57Oh, my God!

01:35:27Oh, my God!

01:35:29Oh, my God!

01:36:56But once in my life, I don't have to be hung by eleven

01:37:02Our senior pride

01:37:06It's the night we've waited for

01:37:13Our senior pride

01:37:17And for now and evermore

01:37:20We will always have our senior pride

01:37:42Hi. I'd like a corsage. Tonight. For my date. To the prom. It's a girl.

01:37:49It's okay. Everybody's nervous on their prom night. Even us girls.

01:37:54It's a relief. I guess I am a little bit nervous.

01:37:59She must be pretty. Oh yeah. She's more than pretty.

01:38:04She's really cute. No. Cute's wrong. She's pretty cute.

01:38:12Oh, that's so sweet. What color gown is your young lady wearing?

01:38:18Excuse me? Well, we don't want to corsage their clashes now, do we?

01:38:23No, we don't. That's for sure.

01:38:27She's wearing pink. Pinkish. Actually, it's kind of a green.

01:38:33With a little lavender. Do you have any black flowers?

01:38:39You know, you boys never have an eye for clothes. You know, I remember when Mr. Krellman...

01:38:45You know what? I'll just save you. I'll just take this. This is no problem.

01:38:49That's a cactus. And a corsage.

01:38:58Thank you very much. Have a good day. There's too much money.

01:39:02Oh, God.

01:39:05I'm going to go get my dress, okay?

01:39:08Oh, I'm sorry. Hi, Patrice. Roger.

01:39:12Hi there. Sorry we can't talk long. We've got tons of shopping to do before the prom.

01:39:16Isn't this so exciting? I can't wait until tonight.

01:39:20I wonder who'll be named king and queen. Oh, God, I would just die if it was me.

01:39:23And Roger, too, of course. Well, in that case, good luck.

01:39:28And Roger, too, of course. Bye.

01:39:32Thanks. Great to see you again. What's he buying corsage for?

01:39:36I mean, who'd go to the prom with him? Do you see his polo shirt? It didn't even have a polo guy on it.

01:39:40Please. Huh? Never mind.

01:39:44I've got to get some starlight pink blusher, and then run over to the shoe store to get those Charles Jadon pumps...

01:39:49Because I decided to wear the puce taffeta sheath, which is why you've got the pearl gray Riviera tuxedo...

01:39:53With the dusty rose tie and cummerbund. Oh.

01:39:56Oh, and you need to get me a corsage. Listen, couldn't you do that because...

01:40:00Roger, it is tradition that the guy gets the corsage.

01:40:03Now, you're supposed to surprise me with a white rosebud and silver ribbon bristled here.

01:40:07I wrote it down for you. Okay.

01:40:09Now, remember, Roger, this is the most important night of my life.

01:40:12I do not want one single thing to go wrong. Hmm?

01:40:17Yeah.

01:40:19Hi, Shelly. Hi, guys.

01:40:21Hi, Rena. Hi.

01:40:23Oh, Donna, I love your perm. Oh.

01:40:25Hi, Lori. Hi, Kathy.

01:40:27Oh, what a cute little charm Ron gave you.

01:40:30What is it, a football cleat? Yes, it is.

01:40:33Did you see the diamond pre-engagement ring I had Roger get for me?

01:40:36Cost him a fortune, but after all, you only get pre-engaged once, right?

01:40:40Okay.

01:40:42Shelly, Shelly, you didn't ask for Pete and my afro prom party.

01:40:45You and Kevin are gonna be there, aren't you?

01:40:47Well, actually, Patrice, I'm not sure if I'm going with Kevin tonight.

01:40:50Oh, my God. You mean Kevin didn't ask you to the prom?

01:40:53Ask me? Oh, sure. Of course he asked me.

01:40:55It's just that this college guy invited me to go to this frat party with him,

01:40:58and I'm not sure I'm gonna make it to the prom.

01:41:00Oh, my God. You're seeing a college guy?

01:41:02Well, don't you think you should tell Kevin?

01:41:04He's standing right over there.

01:41:06Oh. Okay.

01:41:08Yeah. Yeah, you're right. I guess I'd better go tell him.

01:41:11Oh, my God. He is such a stone fox.

01:41:14Yeah.

01:41:18You know you have to be 18 to buy these?

01:41:20No, you don't.

01:41:22Well, you have to be married.

01:41:24Fine. Then the missus would like some of the colored ones.

01:41:28Hi, Kevin.

01:41:30Shelly, hi.

01:41:32Look, Kevin, I know you're upset about the last time we, you know.

01:41:37But I told you, I'm just not ready yet.

01:41:40And I'm sorry that you rented the van.

01:41:42Shelly, we've been going out for four years.

01:41:44For four years, you've been getting ready, and I've been getting horny.

01:41:47Well, if that's all you want,

01:41:49then why don't you just ask Ramona Gielgud to the prom?

01:41:52How do you know I haven't?

01:41:54What? You mean you and Ramona?

01:41:57I don't have to tell you anything. What are you, my wife?

01:41:59No.

01:42:01But I thought I was your girlfriend.

01:42:03Think again.

01:42:08Well, fine. Because it doesn't really matter anyway.

01:42:11Because I'm going to a frat party. Bye.

01:42:15Kevin is devastated.

01:42:18Good.

01:42:20Shelly's sharing and ditching our senior prom.

01:42:22She's almost like the most popular girl in class.

01:42:25I'm way shocked.

01:42:27Well, maybe she's just afraid that she won't be elected queen of the prom.

01:42:30You girls voted, didn't you?

01:42:32Uh-huh. And you know, Shelly's going to be the only girl in our senior class

01:42:35that's not going to be at the prom.

01:42:37Totally unsure, Marina.

01:42:39Check out the prom.

01:42:42You know, we're going to need at least five videotapes

01:42:44if we're going to stay up all night.

01:42:46I don't know, Margaret. I promised my parents I'd be home early tomorrow morning.

01:42:49Church, you know.

01:42:51Angela, we have been planning this night since our freshman year.

01:42:54We made a stupid pact.

01:42:56Tonight we're going to watch movies, eat popcorn, and pig out until dawn.

01:42:59I mean, come on. This is our prom night.

01:43:02I know, but we're going to miss it.

01:43:04I know, but we're going to miss it.

01:43:06I know, but we're going to miss it.

01:43:08I mean, come on. This is our prom night.

01:43:10I know, but high school's over forever.

01:43:13In a few months, we'll be in college.

01:43:16Angela, if you don't want to go to this religious college,

01:43:19just stand up to your parents and say so.

01:43:21I mean, what are they going to do to you?

01:43:23They'll probably just turn the other cheek.

01:43:25I'm not like you, Margaret. You do what you want.

01:43:27True.

01:43:29You say what you want. True.

01:43:31You wear what you want. You don't care what people think.

01:43:33You don't like my new hat? I love it. Really.

01:43:35Anyway, it doesn't matter what I think,

01:43:37because the people at fashion school loved your designs.

01:43:39You're really talented.

01:43:41True. But what about you?

01:43:43You're a great artist.

01:43:45That's why they accepted you into art school.

01:43:47How can you let your parents stand in the way?

01:43:50It's not just that.

01:43:52I'm afraid.

01:43:54Afraid of what?

01:43:56I don't know. Everything.

01:43:58I just wish I could stay in high school.

01:44:00Why couldn't I have flunked a grade?

01:44:04Looking good, buddy.

01:44:06Check this out.

01:44:08I'm putting studs in my shirt.

01:44:10You know what that makes me, don't you?

01:44:12A jerk.

01:44:14What is up with this belt?

01:44:16It's way too wide for the loops.

01:44:18You guys are like children.

01:44:20That's not a belt, that's a cummerbund.

01:44:22You wear it around your waist.

01:44:24How come?

01:44:26Because it's decorative, you doofus.

01:44:28You're not really going to wear a pink tuxedo, are you?

01:44:30It's not pink. It's salmon.

01:44:32I guess Shelly's making you wear it, huh?

01:44:34I'm not going with Shelly.

01:44:36What? But you two have been going together

01:44:38since the ninth grade.

01:44:40I mean, this is practically like getting a divorce or something.

01:44:43Maybe you should see the guidance counselor.

01:44:45Look, Shelly is a great girl and everything,

01:44:47but a man needs more than that.

01:44:49A man has only one prom night,

01:44:51and he wants to be absolutely sure that he, uh...

01:44:55Do I have to explain the facts of life to you boys?

01:44:58No, so she won't do it, huh?

01:45:00You guys are vulgar, you know that?

01:45:02Then why don't you ask Ramona Gielgud?

01:45:05Gielgud, Gielgud.

01:45:07Yeah, well, I already asked her.

01:45:09Turns out she's dating a Spanish teacher.

01:45:11Oh, really? Are you going to go stag?

01:45:13What, is that a joke?

01:45:15I can get a date, no problem. I got, what, six hours.

01:45:17I feel sorry for you, my man.

01:45:19I mean, I don't know what I'd do

01:45:21if I had a woman who wouldn't give me any.

01:45:23Yeah, give you any what? Wallace gum?

01:45:25You expect me to believe that you and Lori have been, uh...

01:45:28Hey, I didn't say Lori, all right?

01:45:30Then who?

01:45:32Yeah, who? And I don't have to tell you guys.

01:45:34Oh, I bet I know who.

01:45:36The bag lady.

01:45:38No, no way, man.

01:45:40It was somebody else.

01:45:42It was, uh...

01:45:44It was, uh...

01:45:46It was Angela.

01:45:48Angela Stroh?

01:45:50Yeah.

01:45:52She's real easy.

01:45:54Well, she's an artist, you know.

01:45:56Yeah, and she's not that bad-looking, either.

01:45:58Not once you get her out of those geeky clothes,

01:46:00you know what I mean?

01:46:10So what you're saying is she's a sure thing?

01:46:13Yeah.

01:46:15Aw, man, you're not going to ask Angela Stroh to the prom,

01:46:18are you, Dole Stroh?

01:46:20Sure thing.

01:46:22What about Top Gun?

01:46:24Oh, yeah, my parents wouldn't let me see that one.

01:46:26What's it about?

01:46:28Tom Cruise.

01:46:30Don't look up. Kevin McCrae just walked in.

01:46:32God, he's so conceited.

01:46:34He's coming this way, Margaret.

01:46:36I hate him. I bet he doesn't even talk to us.

01:46:38Hey, Angela.

01:46:40What?

01:46:42Hey, Margaret.

01:46:44It's great we bumped into each other here,

01:46:46because I'm going away pretty soon.

01:46:48I got accepted to Stanford. How about you?

01:46:50Midland Bible College.

01:46:52I had an aunt who went there.

01:46:58Um, look, you know,

01:47:00us bumping into each other like this,

01:47:02it's totally fake.

01:47:04What do you mean?

01:47:06Because tonight is going to be a very special night,

01:47:08a magical night for us to remember

01:47:10for the rest of our lives.

01:47:12Oh, you must be running some really good movies.

01:47:16Um, actually, this was just an excuse

01:47:18so I could come in here

01:47:20and ask you to the prom.

01:47:22What?

01:47:24What do you say?

01:47:26Uh, I'm sorry, Kevin. I don't think so.

01:47:28What?

01:47:30Well, it's really nice of you and all that,

01:47:32but, well, it's just kind of last minute.

01:47:34Come on, Margaret. We better get going.

01:47:36Angela.

01:47:38What?

01:47:40Angela, wait, wait, wait.

01:47:42Look, now, I know I should have asked you earlier,

01:47:44and the reason that I didn't do that is,

01:47:46I mean, the truth

01:47:48is because I couldn't get up the nerve

01:47:50to ask you. I mean, look,

01:47:52I know everyone thinks that I'm cool

01:47:54and self-confident, but deep down,

01:47:56I'm a shy guy.

01:48:00I'm sorry I bothered you.

01:48:06That's okay, Kevin.

01:48:08I know how it feels.

01:48:12So, then,

01:48:14what do you say?

01:48:16Do you want to go?

01:48:18Yes.

01:48:20Yes.

01:48:22Okay.

01:48:24Good. Great.

01:48:26I'll see you at 7.30.

01:48:30Hey.

01:48:32Well, you got a big night tonight, huh?

01:48:34Yeah.

01:48:36Did I tell you I ran into Robbie Lipson

01:48:38down at the hair stylist?

01:48:40Said he got accepted to Princeton.

01:48:42Oh, great.

01:48:44I think I forgot to send him the transcripts.

01:48:46But besides, Dad,

01:48:48I don't think my grades would have been all that great.

01:48:50You know, that's so typical of you, Dad.

01:48:52Come on, you're a bright kid.

01:48:54You don't apply yourself.

01:48:56Dad, look, I don't even know if I want to go to college.

01:48:58I don't know anything about anything.

01:49:00Well, I'll tell you something.

01:49:02You got to be more self-confident.

01:49:04You got to be more aggressive.

01:49:06Now, give me that Springsteen tape.

01:49:08I got a date tonight.

01:49:10Um, I think it's by my computer.

01:49:14Oh, great.

01:49:16Another picture of Jupiter.

01:49:18Where's that

01:49:20Heather Locklear poster I gave you?

01:49:22You know what?

01:49:24I think I hung that one up at Mom's house.

01:49:26I know what's bothering you.

01:49:28You do?

01:49:30Yeah. It's your date tonight.

01:49:32What about her?

01:49:34Well, you got a real fox, right?

01:49:36Right.

01:49:38She's real cute, Dad.

01:49:40I knew it.

01:49:42You are Jack Lefkort's boy,

01:49:44and the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?

01:49:46That's right, Dad.

01:49:48I'm an acorn.

01:49:50I remember my senior promise.

01:49:52I had the hottest chicken Bedford Fold

01:49:54on my arm.

01:49:56And my arm was all over her,

01:49:58if you know what I mean.

01:50:00Dad, look, um,

01:50:02can we talk about something?

01:50:04Of course we can talk.

01:50:06I'm a marriage counselor. Problems are my business.

01:50:08I know. I know what you're thinking.

01:50:10You're afraid I'm gonna come down on you

01:50:12if you stay up all night.

01:50:14I don't even want to see you back here until dawn, young man.

01:50:16You got that?

01:50:18And I know you want to impress her

01:50:20by showing up in a great car.

01:50:22Hmm?

01:50:24All right, here.

01:50:26You take the caddy.

01:50:34Happy now?

01:50:36Dad.

01:50:38Dad!

01:50:40Hey.

01:50:42I can't believe I let you talk me into this.

01:50:44I mean, me go to the prom?

01:50:46I feel so weird.

01:50:48Well, I went too far putting lip gloss on my nails.

01:50:50Oh, I thought it was a fingernail brush.

01:50:52Oh, now what am I gonna tell my parents?

01:50:54I mean, they'll never let me out of this house.

01:50:56Angela, you've been listening to your parents

01:50:58all your life, and where has it gotten you?

01:51:00Middle and Bible college? Come on.

01:51:02This is your one big chance to go out

01:51:04and really have some fun.

01:51:06Don't chicken out on me.

01:51:08Yeah, but what about our pact?

01:51:10Our pact is that we're friends,

01:51:12and I want you to go to the prom.

01:51:14You'll be alone.

01:51:16No, I won't.

01:51:18I'll be with Tom Cruise.

01:51:20How come you can draw so good on paper,

01:51:22but you can't draw on your own face?

01:51:24Who am I kidding here?

01:51:26I mean, I don't know anything about this kind of stuff.

01:51:28I'm just gonna call Kevin

01:51:30and tell him I broke my hip.

01:51:32Angela, what are you doing?

01:51:34I'm gonna talk you through this.

01:51:36Yeah, but even if we salvage my face,

01:51:38I still don't have anything I could wear to the prom.

01:51:40Well, you must have something we can work with.

01:51:42I mean, you're standing here with a girl

01:51:44who has been accepted to the Allied School of Design.

01:51:46Whoa.

01:51:48This is it?

01:51:50You know my parents.

01:51:52Yeah, not exactly Sean and Madonna, huh?

01:51:54Wait, wait.

01:51:56Remember when I was a little girl way back in the 70s

01:51:58when I saw this old picture of my mom

01:52:00when she was in high school?

01:52:02And she was wearing the most fabulous gown.

01:52:04Come on.

01:52:14Sit, sit.

01:52:18This is great.

01:52:20You like it?

01:52:22Yeah.

01:52:24Think it'll work?

01:52:26I guess your mom never came out of the closet, huh?

01:52:28Come on, let's go.

01:52:30Mother, this is a disaster.

01:52:32How am I supposed to serve a wheel of brie

01:52:34without a decent cheese knife?

01:52:36And what am I supposed to serve the espresso?

01:52:38In jelly glasses?

01:52:40Mother, please, can't you make them stop?

01:52:42Larry, will you please stop making that racket

01:52:44and come in?

01:52:46We're gonna be late.

01:52:48Mom, promise me that you and Daddy won't fight tonight.

01:52:50Oh, come on, honey, come on.

01:52:52We don't fight. We talk.

01:52:54Loudly sometimes, right, Nancy?

01:52:56Right, right.

01:52:58Nice haircut, honey.

01:53:00Thank you, darling.

01:53:02Oh, no, forgot to push back my cuticles.

01:53:04Oh.

01:53:06So, uh, it's absolutely necessary

01:53:08that I go to this thing.

01:53:10Larry, please, I promised the school

01:53:12that we would chaperone the prom, remember?

01:53:14Yes, yes, I remember, that's fine, no.

01:53:16Good, thank you.

01:53:18Now, may I ask you one more favor?

01:53:20Mm-hmm.

01:53:22Would you please not do what you did

01:53:24at her sweet 16th birthday party?

01:53:26To come up on stage with them.

01:53:28They had never heard the long version of Light My Fire.

01:53:30Well, they'd certainly never heard one that long before.

01:53:32Thank you.

01:53:34Thank you very much.

01:53:36You and I both know that I could have been a professional guitar player.

01:53:38Oh, God, here we go again.

01:53:40Poor Larry had to get a job.

01:53:42Yeah, well, someone had to put Brie on the table.

01:53:44Is that meant for me?

01:53:46Because, face it, Larry, we have both overindulged our daughter.

01:53:48Anyway, it's the least we could do

01:53:50after all this bickering we put her through.

01:53:52Agreed, so I've spent 17 years trying to pay for it all.

01:53:54Hey, hold it!

01:53:56Do you think that you're the only one here who's had to make sacrifices?

01:53:58Do you think it's been my life's ambition

01:54:00to become a substitute teacher?

01:54:04We're doing it again, right now.

01:54:08Yeah, you're right, I know.

01:54:10Pushing each other's buttons.

01:54:12Just like the marriage counselor told us.

01:54:16I just wish he would tell us why.

01:54:20Uh, hey, honey, Roger's here!

01:54:22Oh, look at this.

01:54:24This color, I love this color.

01:54:26What do you call this color?

01:54:28Puce.

01:54:30Puce.

01:54:32Don't touch my hair, Daddy.

01:54:34No, no.

01:54:36Good night, sweetie.

01:54:38Have a good time.

01:54:40Bye-bye.

01:54:42Bye.

01:54:44Larry, would you get dressed now, please?

01:54:46I'd like to actually get there tonight.

01:54:48Yes!
