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?
00:18:08Oh, love.
00:18:26Hello?
00:18:27Henry, wake up, it's Javier.
00:18:29Hold on, I don't get the...
00:18:30Hello?
00:18:31Just a second, I don't get reception.
00:18:32Henry?
00:18:33Hold on.
00:18:34I have some news.
00:18:36Henry, I don't understand.
00:18:37Guess what?
00:18:38Great news.
00:18:39A 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,
00:18:46and they want to update the title from Lionel.
00:18:48What would they want to do?
00:18:49What do they want to change it to?
00:18:50They want to go with something more modern,
00:18:52like Linkin Park.
00:18:53Linkin Park.
00:18:54Oh, I don't think Linkin Park gets you laid, but.
00:18:57I guess women 15 to 25 tested best to Linkin Park,
00:19:00and males 15 to 35 seem to like it hands down.
00:19:03Hello?
00:19:03Henry?
00:19:04Trust me, remember you wanted to tell your last book
00:19:06my testicles were the last to drop?
00:19:08And I said I know you went through that,
00:19:09but 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.
00:19:41I'm not going to take her anywhere
00:19:42you don't want her to go.
00:19:44She needs to get out and get socialized.
00:19:48Damn it.
00:19:49If you'd like, if it makes you feel more comfortable,
00:19:51I'll just rent a car.
00:19:52It'd be easier.
00:19:53No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:19:54This is caviar on the book.
00:19:56OK.
00:19:59Oh, dear.
00:20:01She's already making me break out.
00:20:05Let's have a little look here.
00:20:07My god, what is that, your parasitic twin?
00:20:10I think I see an arm.
00:20:12OK, good.
00:20:12Ladies.
00:20:13Come on, some privacy, please.
00:20:14This isn't a tourist attraction.
00:20:15Let's have a look here.
00:20:20OK, ladies, I'm going to need a cold compress,
00:20:23some herbal tea, a nice light foundation, and a donut.
00:20:28Donut?
00:20:29It's for me.
00:20:30I know, I know.
00:20:32Come on.
00:20:33What are you going to do?
00:20:34Well, not much at this point.
00:20:35It's subterranean.
00:20:37I mean, we could attack it, but the outcome
00:20:38would be disastrous.
00:20:39I mean, we're talking a seven-day war
00:20:41that the world would notice.
00:20:44This is scarlet-related.
00:20:45Stress-related.
00:20:46I gotta do something.
00:20:47What can I do?
00:20:48Relax.
00:20:49Do you like little Tibetan bells or little whale sounds?
00:20:51Aw.
00:20:54Let's go, cold compress.
00:20:56Senior year, somehow, I had the karmic good luck
00:20:59of sitting beside Lauren in chemistry class.
00:21:01But all I could say to her was, would you like some help
00:21:04dissecting that frog?
00:21:06Henry?
00:21:07Scarlet?
00:21:09Hey.
00:21:12This is really weird, huh?
00:21:13No, I don't.
00:21:14I'm just, I keep thinking about Henry from Chem,
00:21:19and, 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.
00:21:29No.
00:21:30It's just, you know, Henry from class is,
00:21:34and you're now, you're this, you know,
00:21:35you're a man with facial hair and beard.
00:21:39Yeah, that, that just happened, like, I just.
00:21:44You still look the same.
00:21:45It, was that good or bad?
00:21:48You're really pretty.
00:21:50Yeah.
00:21:51That was awkward, huh?
00:21:52Yeah.
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 could spin it, though.
00:22:01OK.
00:22:02I've been a small town drug dealer
00:22:04for the past 10 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,
00:22:11but, you know.
00:22:12Well, you've clearly done something as you
00:22:15do the commencement speech.
00:22:17Yeah.
00:22:17I, um, I read a few books.
00:22:19You write books?
00:22:21Well, if people actually read it,
00:22:22it would maybe mean something.
00:22:24I'm sure you have many fans out there who read your books,
00:22:27and I would like to be one of them.
00:22:29So I'm going to get it.
00:22:30Where do I get it?
00:22:31Where do I get it?
00:22:32I'll get you a copy.
00:22:33No, I want to buy it with my own money.
00:22:36I want to buy it.
00:22:37All right.
00:22:37Now, bookstores have it.
00:22:39They'll have the most recent copy.
00:22:41OK.
00:22:42It was good to see you.
00:22:44It was really good to see you, too.
00:22:48Bye.
00:22:49Bye-bye.
00:22:53So what's the name of your book?
00:22:55How Lionel Got Me Laid.
00:22:58Oh.
00:22:59OK, just a moment.
00:23:00Um, who'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.
00:23:09I don't perhaps.
00:23:10Maybe I have to read it.
00:23:11Wow, sounds like a winner.
00:23:13The book is in aisle E, and that's alphabetical by author.
00:23:19OK, fess up.
00:23:20Nothing happened.
00:23:21No, you are smiling like either he was really cute,
00:23:24or you're totally embarrassed you even
00:23:25went on a date with him.
00:23:27It wasn't a date.
00:23:28Come on, I 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 OK.
00:23:33Was he wearing pleated jeans?
00:23:34He was OK, really.
00:23:35See, he was one of those, like, weird divorced guys
00:23:37with, like, 18 kids.
00:23:39Well, he must have been pretty OK if you're willing to invest
00:23:41in this relationship.
00:23:43I'm not.
00:23:43I wouldn't.
00:23:44You 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 OK looks like.
00:23:55Does that really matter?
00:23:56Yeah, 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
00:24:02with my mother at 36 years old.
00:24:04Please, I love your mother.
00:24:05Wait a second.
00:24:05Is this him?
00:24:08Yeah.
00:24:09Yes.
00:24:09Are you sure?
00:24:10Yeah.
00:24:13Well, he is actually kind of cute.
00:24:15I know.
00:24:18I wonder what other geeks got hot after high school.
00:24:21You're so pretty.
00:24:23Oh, your pretty blonde hair.
00:24:25Oh, you're so pretty.
00:24:26Why can't Scarlett be 500 pounds with five fat kids
00:24:30and then all would be fine?
00:24:32All would be wrapped up.
00:24:34Life would go on.
00:24:36Why can't that happen?
00:24:37World peace depends on it, my friend.
00:24:40I'm going to act like that made complete sense.
00:24:42I'm going to act like that.
00:24:44I'm going to act like that.
00:24:45I'm going to act like that.
00:24:47I'm going to act like that.
00:24:48I'm going to act like that.
00:24:49I'm going to act like that made complete sense.
00:24:51Ha ha ha.
00:24:53Beautiful.
00:24:54Nice choice.
00:24:59Henry.
00:25:00Hey.
00:25:00Hey, Shasta.
00:25:01Hi.
00:25:02Hey, how are you?
00:25:03Ed.
00:25:04Ugh.
00:25:04Good morning, Mr. McCarthy.
00:25:06May I see your speech?
00:25:07I'm still working on it.
00:25:11Is there a problem?
00:25:12Indeed you do have a problem.
00:25:14As stated before, I, the faculty and the committee
00:25:16will need sufficient time to review your speech.
00:25:19it is highly unlikely you will be able to deliver the speech.
00:25:21That being said, when can we expect to see something,
00:25:24Mr. McCarthy?
00:25:25As soon as I do.
00:25:40I won't watch.
00:25:50Hi.
00:25:52Hey, Scarlett. What are you doing?
00:25:55Just seeing what you're doing.
00:25:57Oh, the speech. I'm just trying to get it going.
00:26:02Oh. How does it go?
00:26:05It's not going.
00:26:07Well, how about a distraction?
00:26:09I could use that. I could do that.
00:26:13Meet me out front.
00:26:15Oh, okay.
00:26:18I want to know who this Lionel guy is.
00:26:21Hey, hey, hey, hey!
00:26:23It's a school night. I'm done.
00:26:25I'll be back later.
00:26:29Mrs. Looch is 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.
00:26:43Loochdenberger.
00:26:45Yeah, like, Loochdenberger.
00:26:48Looch, Looch, Loochdenberger.
00:26:51Yeah, see? Did you not have a Looch ready to hock?
00:26:53Totally. Why did you do that to me? That's so gross.
00:26:56That's where she gets her name. Right there.
00:26:59She's still trying to fail me.
00:27:02Gotta let it go, Henry.
00:27:04Those who can do and those who can't turn into Mrs. Looch.
00:27:11Do you think you could try if that's what you want?
00:27:13Do you mind? Yeah, I'll drive.
00:27:15All I need is a DUI.
00:27:29Can I get any more lights on that car?
00:27:32That's Brad.
00:27:34Me Brad? Your Brad?
00:27:36No, my ex Brad.
00:27:38Is he aware of that?
00:27:40He has a disability. He doesn't hear things that he doesn't want to hear, so...
00:27:44Can you lose him? Why?
00:27:46Yeah, just trust me. If you can lose him, do it.
00:27:48What, you think he's gonna kick my ass?
00:27:50Yeah, well, he says he wants to sit down and have a tea party
00:27:52and, like, shoot the breeze about the great times you had in high school.
00:28:04Did we lose him? I don't think so.
00:28:06I think we lost him.
00:28:08Hold it right there, driver. Hands where I can see them.
00:28:10Nice and easy. Out of the car. Come on, come on.
00:28:15Hands on the hood.
00:28:17Let's take it easy.
00:28:19Oh, 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? No, sir.
00:28:32You sure about that? Yes.
00:28:34New York, it figures.
00:28:38What the hell, McCarthy?
00:28:40Bird! Yeah!
00:28:42Come on!
00:28:44Bird, you look good! Dude, thanks!
00:28:46Didn't recognize me dressed like a pig, huh?
00:28:48Well, it's, um, your... Yeah?
00:28:50Yeah, I dropped a couple pounds.
00:28:52I'd say more than, like, two.
00:28:54Too bitty. Had the surgery done.
00:28:56No more deep-dish pizzas for me.
00:28:58I was gonna shoot you there, man.
00:29:00That was intense. Glad you did.
00:29:02Who's your buddy here?
00:29:04Hey!
00:29:06That's, uh, Scarlett Smith, isn't it?
00:29:08Yeah, Scarlett.
00:29:10Right on. Um...
00:29:12You got Scarlett Smith in your car?
00:29:14Yeah, she was just...
00:29:16Dick!
00:29:18Isn't she with, um, Brad now?
00:29:20I think, um, they broke up.
00:29:22Hey, I ain't saying nothing.
00:29:24You sleeping with her now?
00:29:26No, no, no, we're just talking.
00:29:28No, I'd rather not.
00:29:30Um, office 320 responding.
00:29:32Sorry, duty calls.
00:29:34Hey, bird. You, too.
00:29:36Watch your back, and, uh...
00:29:38You need to borrow my handcuffs.
00:29:40Let me know.
00:29:42Have a good night.
00:29:46Look, I'm so sorry, man.
00:29:48I-I should have told you
00:29:50that Brad is totally still Brad.
00:29:52Yeah, he's Brad, yeah.
00:29:54I've kind of figured that.
00:29:56Yeah, he just hasn't really
00:29:58accepted that we're over for good.
00:30:00It's all good.
00:30:02Yeah.
00:30:04Mm-hmm.
00:30:06You can drive.
00:30:08Yeah.
00:30:10Okay, good night.
00:30:12Okay.
00:30:14All right, I'll call you.
00:30:16Go, go, go!
00:30:18Come on, come on, come on!
00:30:20Go, go, go!
00:30:22You're standing out there
00:30:24and scratching your ball!
00:30:26Tack it up!
00:30:28Speaking of a set of balls,
00:30:30nothing's happening.
00:30:32You're damn right nothing's happening.
00:30:34If you're planning on something happening,
00:30:36you and I are gonna have problems.
00:30:38Coach Nelson's gonna throw down!
00:30:40I'm not gonna stop throwing at you.
00:30:42I'm gonna stick this into my office.
00:30:44Come on.
00:30:46Coach is in trouble!
00:30:54All right, boys, what's the issue?
00:31:00You can sit here all day
00:31:02if that's what you both want.
00:31:06I'll tell you this.
00:31:08We will resolve this issue
00:31:10today in my office
00:31:12before either of you leave.
00:31:14Is that clear?
00:31:16Let's start with you, Coach.
00:31:20No, I'm sorry, Chuck.
00:31:22I was just minding my business,
00:31:24teaching my students,
00:31:26trying to coach my team
00:31:28Really, Brad, numb nuts.
00:31:30Can we just stick to the story?
00:31:32Can you just tell them what happened?
00:31:34I'm walking the hall without a badge.
00:31:36He's walking the hall without a badge, Chuck.
00:31:38I wasn't issued a badge.
00:31:40They didn't give me a badge.
00:31:42I didn't need a badge.
00:31:44I don't need a badge.
00:31:46I'm walking down the hallway,
00:31:48Principal Marshall, minding my business.
00:31:50He's walking down the hallway,
00:31:52pops his head in.
00:31:54He tries to interrupt my practice
00:31:56You have some issues, Henry.
00:31:58You really should just be writing.
00:32:00But zip it.
00:32:02Zip it.
00:32:08I think I understand Brad's frustration.
00:32:10I do. Think about it.
00:32:12He's around a ton of hot teenage boys,
00:32:14half naked, half his age.
00:32:16Hmm.
00:32:18He could take his toll on anybody.
00:32:20It is. It's taking it.
00:32:22Come on, man. Dude gives losers a bad name.
00:32:24You know what I'm saying? Yeah, it does.
00:32:26So what are you gonna do?
00:32:28He's gonna stay away. No.
00:32:30Henry, honey, some people don't evolve.
00:32:32You're gonna kick your ass.
00:32:34Don't be a young buck and lock horns with him.
00:32:36Brad will break your neck.
00:32:38Sometimes you have to do
00:32:40with what nature gave you.
00:32:42All right?
00:32:44The geek doesn't get the girl.
00:32:46Check, please!
00:32:54Yeah!
00:33:10Yeah!
00:33:12All right!
00:33:14Yeah!
00:33:24I have one
00:33:26small announcement to make.
00:33:28To all those seniors attending the prom
00:33:30and fellow students attending the prom,
00:33:32please, please, I urge you,
00:33:34use your best judgment.
00:33:36Don't let this dance
00:33:38be your last.
00:33:40And one other thing.
00:33:42Go Wildcats!
00:33:48I found the nerve
00:33:50to 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.
00:33:58Why did you say that?
00:34:00She never even acknowledged my request.
00:34:02I began to count
00:34:04not only the days, but the hours
00:34:06until graduation,
00:34:08waiting for my liberation.
00:34:10Hey.
00:34:12Oh, my God.
00:34:14Hey.
00:34:16Are you okay, Shasta?
00:34:18Shasta?
00:34:20Are you okay?
00:34:22Are you okay?
00:34:24So stupid.
00:34:26I just need a hug.
00:34:28My boyfriend just broke up with me.
00:34:30Oh!
00:34:32Not appropriate.
00:34:36Are you good?
00:34:38Please just tell me
00:34:40that your senior fall sucked butt
00:34:42you regret ever going.
00:34:44Actually, I didn't go.
00:34:46What? Why?
00:34:48Stupid. Dumb.
00:34:50Dumb reasons.
00:34:52Looks like you need a hug.
00:34:54No, it's okay. I'm good.
00:34:56Are you sure? Yes.
00:34:58A good hug can just, like,
00:35:00unlock all those years of pent-up pain.
00:35:02Yes.
00:35:04One good hug would probably
00:35:06unlock another good 20 years of pain.
00:35:08Yeah, I know. It's okay.
00:35:10You're good.
00:35:12Let's go. Okay.
00:35:14You all right? Thank you.
00:35:16Thank you for making me feel better.
00:35:18Hey, what's his problem?
00:35:22So, before we discuss your book,
00:35:24can I ask you a few questions?
00:35:26Sure. So, is there any truth
00:35:28to getting into a fight with Coach Nelson?
00:35:30What? Are you denying that you threw down
00:35:32with Coach Nelson? There are eyewitnesses.
00:35:34Would you like to comment on what exactly happened?
00:35:36Not really.
00:35:38Does that mean yes or no?
00:35:40It means neither.
00:35:42Any truth to the rumors about Shasta O'Neil?
00:35:44Sources say they saw you two embracing.
00:35:46Embracing?
00:35:48We hugged.
00:35:50No. The average hug lasts 3.2 seconds.
00:35:52Witnesses say it was closer to 20.
00:35:54I would say that the hug qualifies as an embrace.
00:35:56She was upset.
00:35:58So, are you or aren't you seeing each other?
00:36:00Neither.
00:36:02We set the record straight on both of our findings.
00:36:04Tell 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 is really good.
00:36:12I like the title.
00:36:14I want to meet Lionel.
00:36:16They do.
00:36:20Hey, cool ranch.
00:36:22Looking good like I knew you would.
00:36:24Oh, look at this. This is sweet.
00:36:26This is nice. Huh?
00:36:28Oh, baby's breath. How classy.
00:36:30Brad's a real charmer.
00:36:32You got him in a jealous rage.
00:36:34He called me 20 times today.
00:36:36That's not what I was intending to do.
00:36:38Oh, really?
00:36:40How did you think Brad was going to respond?
00:36:42Exactly like this.
00:36:44I mean,
00:36:46I can't allow him to dictate
00:36:48my behavior, how I live my life,
00:36:50or who I'm going to see.
00:36:52Listen, you got him where you want him.
00:36:54Now just make some demands and it'll change.
00:36:56Brad doesn't change his underwear.
00:36:58Brad's all about Brad.
00:37:00It's over.
00:37:02I think you've got to come to terms
00:37:04with that, too, Darce.
00:37:06Oh, my God, you really like this guy.
00:37:08Yeah, I do.
00:37:10Wait, no, no, you like him like him, don't you?
00:37:12Yeah, I like him like him.
00:37:14All right, well, just remember
00:37:16what happened to the last guy you really liked.
00:37:18Glass Eye.
00:37:22All right, I think we're being followed.
00:37:25Oh, it's not him.
00:37:27Oh, it's not him.
00:37:53Hey!
00:37:55What?
00:37:57You can'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
00:38:03than what's in your wallet.
00:38:05I get it, I understand, I totally appreciate it, but...
00:38:07Is that Scarlet Schmidt?
00:38:09Can I say hi?
00:38:13Phil?
00:38:15Yeah, how you doing?
00:38:17Good.
00:38:19Listen, girl to girl,
00:38:21you break it, you own it.
00:38:25Kids have a good time.
00:38:27Start it up!
00:38:33You're a big, strong man.
00:38:35Come on, you can do it.
00:38:45You're being very quiet.
00:38:47I've always been quiet.
00:38:51You are a cheerleader, right?
00:38:53Yeah.
00:38:55Yeah, I'm sorry.
00:38:57I'm just, um...
00:38:59just remembering, just thinking.
00:39:01Yeah.
00:39:03Are you not happy?
00:39:05No, I'm not sad.
00:39:07I know that.
00:39:09I mean, God, I see so many depressed people every day.
00:39:13I mean, no, seriously, you'd be...
00:39:15you'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...
00:39:23It's just our way of coping with the mundane.
00:39:26I think I've made just about every bad decision
00:39:29there is to make ever.
00:39:31Yeah, well, we don't stop making them.
00:39:33You're gonna make one a minute from now
00:39:35that's gonna affect your life.
00:39:37And the minute you start realizing
00:39:39that every decision amounts to something,
00:39:41then you have to start making them count.
00:39:44There's a decision.
00:39:46Is that a good decision or a bad decision?
00:39:48Um, what do you think?
00:39:50A good one?
00:39:52Very.
00:39:54Very.
00:40:02Wasn't Makeout Mountain right around here?
00:40:06Dry plants?
00:40:08I don't know.
00:40:11I've never been here.
00:40:13What do you mean you don't know?
00:40:15Hello, slut.
00:40:17I've never been here.
00:40:19Oh, please.
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. It's developed and stuff.
00:40:28But this is definitely it.
00:40:30This 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.
00:40:37What are you doing?
00:40:39Come here. We're going to get a better view.
00:40:41Come here.
00:40:43Shh.
00:40:45We're going to see what's behind model house number 4.
00:40:49Come on.
00:40:51Shh.
00:40:53Come on.
00:40:55Shh.
00:40:57Close the door.
00:40:59Come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:41:03Come here.
00:41:05Wow, look at that big screen TV.
00:41:07Come on.
00:41:11What do you think?
00:41:13Look at the view.
00:41:15It's not bad.
00:41:17Yeah.
00:41:19You asked me to stay in your prom, didn't you?
00:41:22Yeah.
00:41:24You didn't answer.
00:41:26But that's okay.
00:41:28That's fine.
00:41:38I wish I would have said.
00:41:42That's a good answer.
00:41:48Activate this thing.
00:41:50I don't have one.
00:41:52We're going to put the address, like put your home address in there.
00:42:00Ah, it's brown.
00:42:08Oh, my...
00:42:10You want to make this point.
00:42:32Let me talk to him.
00:42:34I'll talk to him.
00:42:35No.
00:42:36Scarlett, I'll talk to him.
00:42:37No, just...
00:42:38Henry, please get back in the car.
00:42:40Let me do this.
00:42:44I can't believe you.
00:42:46Why?
00:42:47Because I have nothing to do with this.
00:42:56This is Linda from All-Star, Mr. McCarthy.
00:42:58Are you hurt?
00:42:59I'm fine.
00:43:00Have you been in an accident?
00:43:02Are you lost?
00:43:04I'm sorry.
00:43:14Lauren moved to another seat in chemistry class.
00:43:18It was as if I no longer existed.
00:43:22I ceased to be in her line of sight, so I somehow evaporated into the ethers like a worm dropped into an acid bath.
00:43:29I would ride my bike at my Lauren's house nightly,
00:43:33dreaming of the day she'd realize how great I really was,
00:43:36how cool and interesting I was.
00:43:39Lauren consumed my every waking thought,
00:43:42and as she continued to ignore me,
00:43:45the days turned into endless torture.
00:43:53Fortunately, I had my friends.
00:43:56Brian and Wayne, who were always there to yank me out of my hole
00:43:59and make me feel like I belonged to something bigger than my self-pity.
00:44:03I never told them how grateful I was for their friendship.
00:44:06I wouldn't have survived Lauren Landers if not for them.
00:44:15They knew the antidote to my depression,
00:44:18and they always made me laugh.
00:44:20Once Wayne got a tattoo of a cow smoking a cigar
00:44:23just to crack me up.
00:44:39She did what?
00:44:41Don't make it worse than it already was. It wasn't that trip.
00:44:44We just, we didn't go out.
00:44:47You went out to dinner.
00:44:49You went out in your car.
00:44:51Technically, that's going out.
00:44:53What, did the police get a souvenir?
00:44:55Panties?
00:44:57I'm gonna slap you.
00:44:58What?
00:44:59It'd be nice to get a little something-something from the rear view mirror,
00:45:01you know what I'm saying?
00:45:03Ow!
00:45:05She just can't get over herself.
00:45:07Hey, man, that was a long road,
00:45:10but you stayed the path.
00:45:12I'm proud, man.
00:45:15You're my hero.
00:45:17Give it up.
00:45:19Give it up.
00:45:22Gotta run, Rockstar.
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.
00:45:3320 years down the vacuum.
00:45:36You know what?
00:45:38You beat this scarlet fever once before.
00:45:41I know you can do it again.
00:45:43We were 18.
00:45:45A lot younger.
00:45:47My genetic makeup doesn't let me get the girl.
00:45:50I know exactly how you feel.
00:45:53Come here.
00:45:55Come here.
00:45:56Yeah.
00:45:57All right, I get it.
00:45:59Do you want a hug?
00:46:00Yeah, I need a hug.
00:46:01Is that Old Spice?
00:46:02I think that's your problem.
00:46:03You need to change.
00:46:04Hold on, come to the club.
00:46:05I'll get you something.
00:46:07And we will be able to put everything together
00:46:10and 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.
00:46:26If it's done, leave it.
00:46:27If not, take a seat,
00:46:28and we can discuss this when 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,
00:46:38so I can cross them off.
00:46:40We'll be able to 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?
00:47:08It depends on what it says.
00:47:12I'd be lying if I didn't say
00:47:14how disappointed I am in your conduct.
00:47:17You seem to be getting yourself into quite a few altercations.
00:47:21This is the second time you've been in my office
00:47:24on disciplinary issues,
00:47:26and this particular incident is quite damaging.
00:47:31She passed me a note.
00:47:33Are you aware of its contents?
00:47:36No.
00:47:38Would you like to be?
00:47:40I think I should,
00:47:41since 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.
00:47:56When I asked that you get connected with a senior class,
00:48:00this was not what I was implying.
00:48:03So you're saying I shouldn't go to the prom with Shasta?
00:48:06I can't control what happens off campus.
00:48:09What happens on campus is my full responsibility.
00:48:12I, and the district, employ a no-tolerance policy.
00:48:17Therefore, I have no option but to suspend you.
00:48:20I'm suspended.
00:48:22You're suspended.
00:48:23You're suspending me.
00:48:25Shh, shh.
00:48:28Beat it.
00:48:30Hang ten.
00:48:33You lie alone in your bed
00:48:36Another long day ahead
00:48:39Hey!
00:48:40Hey!
00:48:41Oh my God, everything's cool, right?
00:48:43Yeah, it's cool.
00:48:44It's fine, it's fine, don't worry.
00:48:46I just got suspended.
00:48:48I know.
00:48:49Oh my God, oh, I'm so, so sorry.
00:48:51It's okay, really, it's okay.
00:48:53I'm so gonna be like, oh, that's disgusting.
00:48:55He's been wanting to do that for a long time now.
00:48:58Really?
00:48:59Yeah, he got his wish.
00:49:00What do you think?
00:49:01About the no?
00:49:03Oh, that's funny.
00:49:06You've been funny.
00:49:08I can't go with you to the prom.
00:49:10Why not?
00:49:11Because they go against everything.
00:49:13Like what?
00:49:14Like gravity.
00:49:15Like what we're walking, what keeps us on Earth.
00:49:17Just think of it like research, you know.
00:49:21If 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, ever get a chance to say yes.
00:49:31That's very clever.
00:49:33I like that.
00:49:34But no way.
00:49:35Isn't there just a hundred guys waiting to take you?
00:49:38You're very cute.
00:49:39There's gotta be a hundred of them.
00:49:40Like a thousand.
00:49:41That's standard, okay?
00:49:42And Mr. Marshall did not suspend you from 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.
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.
00:50:00You totally, totally suck butt.
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?
00:50:11Really?
00:50:12Teal.
00:50:13Teal.
00:50:15Great.
00:50:18I should have never agreed to go to this.
00:50:21But you did.
00:50:22So just accept it, embrace it, own it.
00:50:26This is your golden crowbar that you are going to use to pry yourself from your past.
00:50:31All right?
00:50:32And don't let Scarlett keep you from going to another ball.
00:50:34I'm just gonna call Sherston and say, look, I can't go.
00:50:37Wait, let me explain something to you.
00:50:39Okay?
00:50:40Once you achieve a certain level of success, you get celebrity immunity.
00:50:44You can do no wrong.
00:50:46Well, if you do, you just get a slap on the wrist.
00:50:48You can sleep with your stepdaughter.
00:50:50You can have a slumber party with little boys.
00:50:52I'm not a celebrity.
00:50:53Well, let me explain something to you, okay?
00:50:55If you can do what you want and answer to nobody but yourself,
00:50:58in big girl's world, you are a celebrity.
00:51:03Look at that.
00:51:04Voila.
00:51:05If I get arrested, I'm calling you.
00:51:07You should be taking me and him.
00:51:09Corsage, you want to try it on me first?
00:51:17Whoa, Francesca.
00:51:18Oh, my.
00:51:20Henry McCarthy.
00:51:22Uh-huh.
00:51:24Yeah, yeah.
00:51:26Oh, Shasta told us all about you.
00:51:29Yeah, okay.
00:51:30Yeah.
00:51:31Right.
00:51:32Uh, please.
00:51:33She would not.
00:51:34Yeah, please come in.
00:51:35She's not mine.
00:51:36No, oh, please, no.
00:51:38Come in.
00:51:40Monkey could have got that.
00:51:51What is it that you do?
00:51:53Um...
00:51:54Oh, I'm a, I write.
00:51:56I'm a writer.
00:51:57No.
00:51:58What do you write?
00:51:59Oh, that's a good question.
00:52:01Um...
00:52:02It's a how-to book.
00:52:03Here she is.
00:52:04Looking smashing.
00:52:05Hi.
00:52:06Hi.
00:52:09Daddy, what's wrong?
00:52:11You're wearing that.
00:52:12Mom likes it.
00:52:13She looks so pretty, honey.
00:52:15What?
00:52:16Uh.
00:52:17Uh-uh.
00:52:18Come on, let's go.
00:52:19Have a good time.
00:52:20Whatever.
00:52:21He's still so cute.
00:52:22No!
00:52:25Happy birthday.
00:52:26Happy birthday.
00:52:31Hello?
00:52:32You're swimming in sorrow right now.
00:52:33All I ask is for you to swim to me.
00:52:35Swim to your rock.
00:52:36Do you want anything?
00:52:37No, I'm fine.
00:52:38I'm fine.
00:52:39Sure?
00:52:40Yeah, talk to me.
00:52:41Bickle, slurpy.
00:52:42Something's going on.
00:52:43No, I'm fine.
00:52:44I'm just at a 7-Eleven.
00:52:45It's okay.
00:52:46What the hell are you doing at a 7-Eleven?
00:52:47I am worried, Henry.
00:52:48Does anything good ever happen at 7-Elevens?
00:52:50You're a victim before you even walk in.
00:52:52Don't worry, Javier.
00:52:53It's gonna be okay.
00:52:54I beg you to get out of there.
00:52:557-Elevens are the gateway to life in prison.
00:52:57Okay.
00:52:58Bye.

00:54:01I need a killer.
00:54:02Let's go!
00:54:03Let's go!
00:54:04Let's go!
00:54:05I'm already conscious of your turn.
00:54:12Shasta how does it feel to go again with the pedophile?
00:54:21No.
00:54:22B!
00:54:23OMG!
00:54:24What are you wearing?
00:54:25You look fabulous!
00:54:26Hey Shasta!
00:54:27Hey how are you?
00:54:28Do you look great?
00:54:29What are you wearing?
00:54:30It's for ever 21.
00:54:31Shhh!
00:54:32Who's he?
00:54:33Come on, let's go.
00:54:40Come on, let's go.
00:54:49Wow.
00:55:01Okay. Got it.
00:55:03Spotted Henry and Shasta dancing in very close proximity of the rest of the mansion.
00:55:08You know, they look so beautiful tonight.
00:55:10Ew! Rape! Rape!
00:55:12Hey.
00:55:13All right.
00:55:18I got to hold him.
00:55:19He's a bunny.
00:55:49Everybody have fun tonight.
00:55:53Everybody have fun tonight.
00:55:58Lauren was so beautiful, I could barely look at her.
00:56:02And school politics didn't allow her to look at me.
00:56:06She was too popular.
00:56:08She'd become a cheerleader and started dating a football jock.
00:56:12She went to the prom with the jerk. I didn't go.
00:56:15I couldn't stand the thought of seeing them together, king and queen of the ball.
00:56:24I anonymously sent Lauren a corsage.
00:56:27On prom night, I waited in my car across the street from her house to see if she wore it.
00:56:33She did.
00:56:34It was a ridiculous gesture, but I wanted to be a part of her life in some small way.
00:56:40The next day, I pretended to be sick.
00:56:42I couldn't face sitting next to Lauren.
00:56:49Please, please, please, please, please, please, with a cherry on top.
00:56:53No, I can't. Enough.
00:56:54Look, I had a really good time in there.
00:56:56We're only going to stay at the party for ten minutes.
00:56:58Ten minutes.
00:56:59I've stayed ten minutes too long already.
00:57:01Henry, think of it as doing charity.
00:57:03Like, you can just write it off on your taxes.
00:57:06And what cause was this before?
00:57:08Because I want you to, and because why not?
00:57:11Come on.
00:57:14I'm going to drink at home.
00:57:16You know what? Just go home.
00:57:18I think your mommy is calling you.
00:57:33Ten minutes, right? You just said...
00:57:35You're going to want to stay longer than ten minutes until you get sick,
00:57:37because I promise you that you're going to have fun.
00:57:41It's you on the grass.
00:57:44Hey, oh my goodness, that's crazy.
00:57:46It's true.
00:57:48Hey.
00:57:50Come on.
00:57:51Hey.
00:57:52Hey, go get us a drink.
00:57:54Go get us a drink.
00:57:55Okay.
00:57:56Okay?
00:57:57I love ice.
00:57:58I love ice.
00:57:59I love ice.
00:58:00Oh.
00:58:06Yeah!
00:58:21Hey.
00:58:28Okay.
00:58:29Alright.
00:58:31You 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.
00:58:37Sweet.
00:58:39Wow, okay.
00:58:40Yeah.
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.
00:58:47All right?
00:58:48Wait, wait.
00:58:50Um, are you afraid that I don't know what I'm doing?
00:58:55Why would you say yes to this if you weren't gonna follow through?
00:59:00I promise.
00:59:03You won't have any regrets.
00:59:05Yeah, I know.
00:59:07But there's nothing about taking this moment further that's gonna benefit our lives.
00:59:13What is that supposed to mean?
00:59:15It 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.
00:59:29She is such a bitch!
00:59:32Yeah.
00:59:33And I have to deal with it. I get to deal with it.
00:59:36Um, come on, come on, come on.
00:59:39Come on.
00:59:40What? Oh, my God.
00:59:42God.
00:59:55What? Oh, my God. What?
00:59:58Come on, jump. Jessa, jump.
01:00:00I can't do that.
01:00:01Trust me, jump.
01:00:02Damn it, if you don't jump right now, you're gonna be doing the same exercise in rehab.
01:00:05Come on, jump.
01:00:06Ah!
01:00:07Ah!
01:00:11The party is over.
01:00:12Oh, my God.
01:00:14Ah!
01:00:28Could you think of anything better to do with your Saturday night than this?
01:00:31Yeah, I could be cuddled up on the couch watching cops.
01:00:34Love that show.
01:00:36Yeah, the one thing I thought I could learn was never to run from them.
01:00:44What?
01:00:47He's right there. He's right there.
01:00:52Please come out from behind the bushes.
01:00:57It's not what it looks like, officer.
01:01:03I won't be the judge of that.
01:01:05You two been drinking?
01:01:07No.
01:01:08Ah!
01:01:12Vodka?
01:01:13When Brian, my best buddy, came out of the closet that year,
01:01:16he became the token gay of West Rockville High.
01:01:19After that, I was uncomfortable hanging out with him.
01:01:23It was tough enough for me to be accepted without being associated with another freak.
01:01:29In a vain attempt to fit in with the cool crowd,
01:01:31I 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
01:01:38and covered his entire car with panty liners
01:01:41implying that he should have been a woman.
01:01:45I'm gonna kill him.
01:01:47I will kill that boy. I will kill him dead.
01:01:49Brian. He could have at least picked a name like Trevor.
01:01:59No priors.
01:02:00Yeah.
01:02:01That just leaves us with a 37-year-old at a high school party.
01:02:06Sir.
01:02:07Carthy?
01:02:09Hey, bird.
01:02:11I got this.
01:02:17Nothing happened, I swear to you. Nothing happened.
01:02:20Uh-huh.
01:02:28You're the man.
01:02:29Yeah.
01:02:31We'll make it happen.
01:02:33Thanks.
01:02:36He'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.
01:02:44Henry.
01:02:45Wow.
01:02:46Henry.
01:02:47Yeah.
01:02:50Oh, my God.
01:02:52Yeah.
01:02:55Um, you suck.
01:02:57You suck.
01:02:58Yeah. I suck.
01:03:01Yeah.
01:03:02Oh, no.
01:03:15Hi, Daddy.
01:03:17Come on, come on.
01:03:19Young lady, get in the house.
01:03:21My, uh, 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 when he sees that car.
01:03:37Okay.
01:03:45Dad, I'm so sorry.
01:03:46Sorry?
01:03:47Where in the Lord's name did you take her?
01:03:53I think it's just cosmetic, really. I'm sorry. I'll take care of it.
01:03:56You know something, son?
01:03:57Your smart-ass attitude isn't welcome at a time like this.
01:04:00I'm sorry. I think it's cosmetic only.
01:04:02It's coming out of your allowance.
01:04:04I don't get allowance, Dad.
01:04:05I mean your inheritance.
01:04:12So how is the speech coming?
01:04:14Haven't even started working on it yet.
01:04:16I know.
01:04:18Scarlet.
01:04:19Something really cold.
01:04:21Scarlet cold?
01:04:22Dad, you were in for the night.
01:04:24Dad, you trying to ground me?
01:04:25You don't think you're ready to take the Cadillac?
01:04:28I think I got two feet and I think I can walk over to her house.
01:04:45Pick up. Pick up.
01:04:51Pick up.
01:04:56Come on.
01:05:02Dammit.
01:05:05Sometimes you have to take action.
01:05:07I discovered sitting in the back of the class doesn't get you the grades or the girl.
01:05:11So I moved up a seat.
01:05:13By that time, Lauren was in danger of flunking chemistry.
01:05:16This was the perfect scenario for boy genius to swoop in and rescue the damsel in distress.
01:05:22The token town gay?
01:05:24I was 500 pounds, Henry, because it took me a while to figure out that I was craving the wrong ding dong.
01:05:30You like what I did to your dad's car?
01:05:32Quit running away from me.
01:05:36Stop that.
01:05:38Come on.
01:05:44There you go.
01:05:45Hi, how you doing?
01:05:46That's right. What do you think you got?
01:05:50Hey, hey.
01:05:51Whoa, whoa.
01:05:52What happened, Will?
01:05:53Hello.
01:05:55B.J.?
01:05:56Henry.
01:05:57What are you doing?
01:05:58I'm tapping out.
01:05:59What's going on here now?
01:06:00We're letting him go, okay?
01:06:01Come on.
01:06:02Oh, yeah.
01:06:05Sorry.
01:06:06Sorry.
01:06:12Bitch.
01:06:13I had to make Lauren excruciatingly aware of my existence.
01:06:16When moving up a seat didn't work, I became her chemistry tutor.
01:06:19But the only thing that was heating up in that class was on top of the Bunsen burner.
01:06:24I'll admit I made it a little more complicated than it needed to be.
01:06:27But I wanted to spend as much time as possible with her.
01:06:31I was distracted by her beauty, her soft, pale skin, her haunting eyes, and her silky hair.
01:06:36Somehow, I managed to guide her to an A in the class.
01:06:40The day she thanked me with a hug and a kiss on the cheek was the happiest day of my life.
01:06:45I felt as if I'd been touched by an angel.
01:06:48That was the day she signed my yearbook.
01:06:50Stay cool.
01:06:54I thought it was code for I love you forever.
01:06:58Henry?
01:06:59Yes?
01:07:00What are you doing here?
01:07:01Was it too late?
01:07:02No, no.
01:07:03Um, come in.
01:07:04My bags are right there.
01:07:05Oh, yeah, yes.
01:07:09One of the reasons that I was calling was because I'm reading your book.
01:07:14I was just wondering how much of it was true.
01:07:17Ah.
01:07:21Everything but the late part.
01:07:22Yeah.
01:07:24Oh, um, the girl in it that you write about, Lauren.
01:07:28Yeah, yeah.
01:07:29I was really moved and touched by...
01:07:34You wrote about her so beautifully, and I thought she must be really special and inspiring.
01:07:40She's both.
01:07:42Who is she?
01:07:45Who do you think she is?
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?
01:08:12Tomorrow or next week, he's gonna 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?
01:08:22How about that?
01:08:29How about that?
01:08:47Better never catch you with her again.
01:08:53Max!
01:09:16How is he?
01:09:17I don't know yet.
01:09:22Dr. Thomas, please dial 118.
01:09:38He can see you now.
01:09:46Dr. Thomas, dial 118, please.
01:09:48Dr. Thomas, please dial 118.
01:09:53Dr. Thomas.
01:10:06Hey, guys.
01:10:07What did you do?
01:10:12Is that it? Just here?
01:10:14Yeah.
01:10:15A couple ribs, too.
01:10:18I told you.
01:10:19Didn't I tell you?
01:10:20I told you.
01:10:21Yeah.
01:10:22Yeah.
01:10:26Let's get some of that dry blood off.
01:10:29We never got to play doctor, did we?
01:10:31No.
01:10:32And you don't make this a chapter in one of your books, either.
01:10:34Okay, okay.
01:10:35Okay?
01:10:36That's good.
01:10:37Stay behind a tape reader.
01:10:39Fist-fighting.
01:10:42Now, I'm gonna get a doctor.
01:10:44Hey.
01:10:45Hey, why not?
01:10:47Yeah.
01:10:48This guy's got an idea.
01:10:49Jesus.
01:10:52Yeah, that hurts.
01:10:55Yeah.
01:11:01I'll be back in the morning.
01:11:09Yes, I did.
01:11:11I did.
01:11:12I told you.
01:11:13I read it, and it's crap.
01:11:15It's...
01:11:16It's crap.
01:11:17I told you the first...
01:11:18Nobody will care about it.
01:11:19It's a story about manure salesmen.
01:11:21No one will care at all.
01:11:25Henry?
01:11:27Henry?
01:11:28Henry, if you can hear me?
01:11:29This is Javier.
01:11:32Hey, Javier.
01:11:34Oh, so much for being in a coma.
01:11:36Your painkillers kicked in yet?
01:11:39What is that?
01:11:41That is the review in your hometown paper.
01:11:44Let's hope Mr. McCarthy doesn't repeat any of his dribble
01:11:46during his commencement speech this Friday.
01:11:48Don't worry, I think she meant dribble.
01:11:50It didn't inspire.
01:11:51It nearly made me slit my wrists.
01:11:53Who is this?
01:11:54Who is this Fields woman?
01:11:55You know, I don't know.
01:11:57I probably did something to her.
01:11:58I probably egged her house or something.
01:12:00Who knows at this point?
01:12:02Well, we need to get you out of here
01:12:03before your next review is in the obituary section.
01:12:06No.
01:12:07I wish I could, but I can't.
01:12:09These people don't like you.
01:12:12I get it.
01:12:13I can get you out of your commencement duties
01:12:14as well as this cat TV interview
01:12:16scheduled for later today.
01:12:18And we can be on the first flight out of here.
01:12:19Javier.
01:12:20If I leave now,
01:12:22I'm going to be writing about this for the next 20 years.
01:12:25I want a new subject.
01:12:28How Lionel got me laid out?
01:12:30Help me get to graduation.
01:12:35You can pick up your prom photos today after school
01:12:37in room 113 between 3 and 4.
01:12:39And now to John Candleman's portraits.
01:12:41Excuse me.
01:12:43Dios mio.
01:12:44You think we're pushing a book about domestic violence?
01:12:48You know what?
01:12:50I got a punch in.
01:12:51Mm-hmm.
01:12:52I don't know where, but I got one.
01:12:54Okay, I'm going to take a moment to digest that
01:12:55because that's what people like in their writers.
01:12:57They like a little sort of rugged,
01:12:58sort of beat-up look.
01:13:00I think you're on.
01:13:10Hello, West Rockville students.
01:13:12Today I will be talking with former students
01:13:13and author Henry McCarthy.
01:13:15Now, I was wondering if you could share with us
01:13:17how you came up with this title,
01:13:19How Lionel Got Me Laid.
01:13:20Sure, it's based on the singer.
01:13:22So his music was influential?
01:13:24Yeah, he had a lot to do with it.
01:13:26It wasn't as popular.
01:13:28I mean, he was popular, but we listened to other music.
01:13:30But yeah, Lionel.
01:13:31Lionel should have gotten a lot of people laid.
01:13:36I developed a philosophy in my last days of high school.
01:13:39I realized as long as I just concentrated on being alive
01:13:41and stopped worrying about a future I couldn't predict
01:13:43and a past I couldn't change,
01:13:45then my time on Earth would be
01:13:47a hell of a lot more enjoyable
01:13:49and I'd probably get laid,
01:13:51I figured, at least once.
01:13:54Years later, I noticed that the lessons
01:13:56I'd learned in high school
01:13:58were being repeated in my life over and over.
01:14:01There didn't seem to be an end in sight.
01:14:04I was an A student in school.
01:14:06Why did I feel like a C minus in life?
01:14:08Did I need to go back to West Rockville?
01:14:09Did I need to go back to West Rockville
01:14:11for a refresher course?
01:14:13Ow, ow, ow.
01:14:15Got you pretty good, didn't he?
01:14:17You know, I can't help you.
01:14:19All you have to do is tell me who did this to you.
01:14:21It's nothing, it's nothing.
01:14:23What are you going to do, suspend them too?
01:14:25If necessary, yes.
01:14:27I'll be okay, I'm fine.
01:14:29Just let me cross campus over here
01:14:31and get my speech approved.
01:14:33There's a running track that goes around the campus.
01:14:35Various entrances for guests.
01:14:3772% of the graduating class
01:14:39will be on an antidepressant.
01:14:4161% will be divorced.
01:14:43Very interesting.
01:14:47I do find your choices humorous,
01:14:49somewhat shocking, and very clever,
01:14:51but overall I can't allow this.
01:14:53While you will be grabbing their attention
01:14:55with frightening statistics about the future,
01:14:57ultimately it will be ineffective.
01:14:59The truth just doesn't go for well these days, does it?
01:15:01Speak when you're angry
01:15:03and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret.
01:15:08I just don't think time would permit me
01:15:10to write a speech that you would approve.
01:15:15You already have.
01:15:17Henry, your suitcase has arrived!
01:15:21Even when it was uncomfortable,
01:15:23high school forced me to live in my own skin,
01:15:25which included my clothes.
01:15:35Now I would like to introduce
01:15:37Wes Rockville
01:15:39to one of my all-time favorite students.
01:15:46He attended the school some years ago
01:15:48and he's a writer now,
01:15:50doing quite well, I understand.
01:15:52Please welcome your commencement speaker,
01:15:54Mr. Henry McCartney.
01:15:56Yeah!
01:16:05If I could read from this little book that I wrote.
01:16:09I would eventually learn
01:16:11that every one of us
01:16:13would carry our moments differently.
01:16:15Their color,
01:16:17their shape,
01:16:19their feeling.
01:16:21They would all be different
01:16:23depending on our intentions and use for them.
01:16:25I sat with each moment
01:16:27for a long period of time.
01:16:29One moment I would continue to feed,
01:16:31give it all my love and attention.
01:16:32Was it going to hatch into a beautiful memory?
01:16:35Or would it die on a vine?
01:16:39I stand here today
01:16:41because of that memory.
01:16:43Every day it bounces
01:16:45from my head to my heart
01:16:47to my stomach
01:16:49aimlessly.
01:16:51There is no place to hide this memory,
01:16:53not even the pages of this book.
01:16:55It has affected the way I speak,
01:16:57the way I talk,
01:16:59the way I live.
01:17:00Remember this,
01:17:02our memories make us who we are.
01:17:04These four years
01:17:06will only become that,
01:17:08your memories.
01:17:10You can't define them,
01:17:12but they can define you.
01:17:15Congratulations.
01:17:16Congratulations.
01:17:22Come on, honey!
01:17:39It's Jesse, right?
01:17:43Thank you, thank you.
01:17:44Jesse, good to see you.
01:17:47You'll be good, okay?
01:17:51Honey.
01:17:53Brilliant.
01:17:57I'm good.
01:17:58Good to go.
01:18:06God created IHOP.
01:18:08God said, let there be IHOP,
01:18:10and there was IHOP.
01:18:12You didn't come back here
01:18:14to talk to a thousand students.
01:18:16You came back to talk to one person.
01:18:19Yeah, well,
01:18:21it is what it is.
01:18:23She is what she is.
01:18:25It is what it is, he says.
01:18:29You know what I have to say to that?
01:18:36There have been times in my life
01:18:39I've been wondering why
01:18:43Still somehow I believe
01:18:50Henry?
01:18:53What are you doing?
01:18:55Seeing what you're doing.
01:18:57I was debating whether
01:18:59to stand outside
01:19:01and hold a boombox over my head.
01:19:04This is your room?
01:19:06Yeah.
01:19:09This is it.
01:19:13To have Lauren kiss me
01:19:15just once.
01:19:17I was wondering if Lionel
01:19:19would get me late.
01:19:21The way I dreamed of kissing her
01:19:23would make my life complete.
01:19:26You okay?
01:19:28Yeah, I'm just going to ignore
01:19:30the fact that I'm shaking.
01:19:39Lionel's words taught me
01:19:41about love.
01:19:46Loyalty.
01:19:49Desire.
01:19:51And romance.
01:19:55I want to get a shot
01:19:57at you and mom.
01:19:59My family taught me tolerance.
01:20:01You want me to take that?
01:20:03Oh, yeah.
01:20:05My friends gave me brotherhood
01:20:06and Lauren showed me
01:20:08what my ideal woman could be.
01:20:11You ought to follow your own advice.
01:20:13Did you read your own book?
01:20:15I did.
01:20:17I wonder sometimes if she's even
01:20:19remotely like the woman
01:20:21I used to imagine her to be
01:20:23or if I made it all up
01:20:25in order to stay alone.
01:20:27There he goes.
01:20:29Henry needs our support.
01:20:31Why else would you fall in love
01:20:33with the most unattainable girl
01:20:34of your perfect boyfriend?
01:20:37I love you, Scarlett.
01:20:39Ultimately, what I learned
01:20:41from my imaginary relationship
01:20:43with Lauren was to seize
01:20:45and experience life as it happens.
01:20:47Henry.
01:20:49Override my fears
01:20:51and stop dragging around
01:20:53the unfulfilled dreams of yesterday.
01:20:55Stay cool.
01:20:57Okay.
01:21:00Some nights I lie awake
01:21:02wondering whatever happened
01:21:04to her?
01:21:06Did she marry the jock?
01:21:08Does she have kids?
01:21:10Would she even remember who I was?
01:21:12Well,
01:21:14and now I'm not afraid of love.
01:21:16My heart might be squashed again,
01:21:18but at least I know
01:21:20I'll live to write about it.
