AAH!

AAH!

COME ON, RUDY.

IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY.

DO YOU WANNA SIT DOWN?

GOOD, BOY.

HEY, CHRISTY. CHRISTY.

CHRISTY!

HEY, HOWARD HUGHES! DID YOU NOT HEAR ME CALLING?

ELLIOTT WANTS TO KNOW IF YOU'RE COMING TONIGHT.

UM...

IT'S FRIDAY NIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW.

IT'S THE SEASON KICK-OFF PARTY. YOU HAVE TO BE THERE.

MINDY, I'M JUST NOT THAT INTERESTED.

HEY, CHRISTY.

HE IS SO IN LOVE WITH YOU, IT MAKES ME SICK.

KYLE WALKER'S NOT IN LOVE WITH ME.

I HOPE NOT. YOU DON'T NEED SOMEONE LIKE THAT TO RUIN YOUR REPUTATION.

MY REPUTATION?

WELL, YEAH.

WHAT DO YOU CARE ANYWAY?

HEY, SWEETIE.

HEY, BABE.

SO, IS EVERYBODY COMING TONIGHT?

OOH, CAN I DRIVE YOUR CAR?

NOBODY DRIVES MY CAR BUT ME.

PLEASE?

NO.

BUT YES, MOST OF THE TEAM WILL BE THERE.

MOST OF THE TEAM, BUT NOT ALL, RIGHT?

HE WOULDN'T DARE SHOW HIS FACE AT SOCIAL EVENTS.

'CAUSE IF HE DID, IT'D BE A SOCIAL FUNERAL.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S START WHERE WE LEFT OFF YESTERDAY.

OPEN YOUR BOOKS TO PAGE 72.

CARTER, DID YOU HAVE ANY TROUBLE WITH THAT LAST NIGHT?

AND FOLLOW ALONG WITH ME.

THE DIAMETER OF THE MOON IS ABOUT 261,000 MILES.

AND THE DISTANCE FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON

IS ABOUT 283,000 MILES.

USE THESE NUMBERS AND THE CONCEPT OF SIMILAR TRIANGLES

TO COMPUTE THE DISTANCE.

HOW DOES THE DISTANCE YOU COMPUTED

COMPARE TO THE DISTANCE YOU MEASURED ON YOUR EXPERIMENT?

YES?

CAN I GET A DRINK OF WATER?

MM-HMM.

OH, MY GOD!

HEY. HEY!

WHAT IS WITH YOU?

YOU'VE BEEN ACTING REALLY WEIRD ALL DAY.

YOU'VE BEEN DREAMING OF KYLE WALKER AND HOW MUCH YOU WANT HIS HOT BODY, HUH?

I DON'T THINK I'M GONNA COME TONIGHT.

YOU HAVE TO COME.

ANYBODY WHO'S ANYBODY'S GONNA BE THERE.

I JUST WANNA GET SOME SLEEP.

YOU'RE COMING.

I'LL THINK ABOUT IT.

YOU'RE COMING.

I DON'T KNOW WHY ELLIOTT HATES KYLE. HE'S A GOOD GUY.

I DON'T KNOW, MAN.

FOR SOME REASON, HE JUST--

THAT'S THE FUNNIEST-- THAT'S MY SHOE!

SHUT THE HELL UP OR I'LL KICK YOUR--

OH, SHIT.

HEY, LYNN, STILL COMING OVER WEDNESDAY NIGHT?

I'LL BE THERE. 8:00, RIGHT?

BULLSHIT.

THIS PARTY'S FOR THE WHOLE TEAM, RIGHT?

THE LAST I CHECKED, I'M STILL ON THE ROSTER.

NOT FOR LONG YOU AIN'T.

JUST KEEP DRINKING, HUH?

WHAT THE HELL, MAN?

WHAT A DICK.

HEY.

NO, I LEAVE THE TRYING UP TO OTHERS. I ACTUALLY EMBARRASSED THE UNDERCLASSMEN.

RIGHT.

HEY, SO I MEANT TO ASK YOU BUT YOU DISAPPEARED SO QUICKLY.

WHAT HAPPENED TODAY? NOTHING.

OH, WELL, YEAH, I MEAN, I SCREAM AND SHOUT "OH, MY GOD"

IN CLASS ALL THE TIME, SO I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND.

IT'S-IT'S STUPID.

HEY, COME ON. YOU CAN TELL ME, YOU KNOW.

WALKER! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?

YOU LOVE TO RUIN MY SHIT.

THIS JUST FIGURES.

LOOK, MAN, I WASN'T TRYING TO RUIN ANYTHING, ALL RIGHT?

BULLSHIT. YOU WERE JUST TRYING TO BE AN ASS AND SHOW UP WHERE YOU'RE NOT WELCOME.

I WAS JUST LEAVING, ALL RIGHT? THAT'S RIGHT, YOU WERE.

SEE, YOU TRY TO MAKE FRIENDS, BUT YOU HAVE NO FRIENDS.

I DON'T LIKE YOU. THEREFORE, NOBODY LIKES YOU.

NOW GET OUT OF HERE! STOP IT. YOU'RE SO JUVENILE.

I'LL CALL YOU TOMORROW.

WE'RE TRYING TO LEAVE NOW.

IF SHE NEVER BELIEVED YOU, WHY SHOULD SHE BELIEVE ME?

MAYBE SHE WON'T, BUT YOU WON'T KNOW UNLESS YOU TRY.

HELLO?

MOM?

CHRISTY?

MOM, WHAT?

MINDY CALLED.

I'M MAKING MYSELF SOME BREAKFAST. CAN I FIX YOU SOMETHING?

NOTHING. JUST COFFEE.

ROUGH NIGHT?

NOT REALLY.

WHAT TIME DID YOU GET IN?

AROUND MIDNIGHT.

WERE YOU DRINKING? MOM...

WELL, WERE YOU?

NO.

IS EVERYTHING OKAY?

YEAH. IT'S FINE.

HELLO?

HEY, COACH.

SO DID I TELL YOU ABOUT JACOBS'?

NO. NO, I DIDN'T HEAR.

WELL, AFTER YOU LEFT LAST NIGHT,

WE REALLY STARTED TO PARTY.

REALLY?

WELL, EVERYONE ELSE DID.

ELLIOTT AND I STAYED IN THE BARN MOST OF THE NIGHT.

OH, PLEASE, SPARE ME.

WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM? IS HE OKAY?

OH, NO, HE'S TOTALLY FINE, BUT HE GOT PULLED OVER.

AND GET THIS-- BECAUSE HE HAD A TAIL LIGHT OUT.

AND THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE...?

WELL, HE HAD BEEN DRINKING.

DRINKING?

HE'S KICKED OFF THE TEAM.

YEAH. ELLIOTT'S BEEN BITCHING ABOUT IT ALL DAY.

I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM THIS PISSED OFF SINCE WE LOST CONFERENCE LAST YEAR.

RIGHT, BUT SHOULDN'T ELLIOTT SINCE HE'S THE CAP--

HE WOULDN'T EVEN SPEAK TO THE POOR KID.

OH, THIS IS CLASSIC.

WHAT IS?

I FORGOT ABOUT THAT. YEAH.

SO ANYWAY, I HOPE IT DOESN'T EFFECT ELLIOTT'S...

GAMEPLAY, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

OH, MINDY...

IS THAT YOUR DAD?

YEAH. WHO'S THE OLD GUY?

SOME PROFESSOR WHO WAS HELPING MY DAD OUT WITH SOMETHING.

LOOK AT US.

MAN, I LOVE THAT OUTFIT.

I WAS CUTE.

WHO KNEW, RIGHT?

YEAH, SURE, I'LL TALK TO HIM.

ALL RIGHT, COACH.

ALL RIGHT, BYE.

WHAT AN IDIOT.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? COACH CALLED ME.

YEAH, WELL, YOU'RE NOT WANTED. SO BEAT IT.

HEY.

WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT?

I GOT PULLED OVER, ALL RIGHT?

WHY WERE YOU DRIVING?

GOD, IF IT'S NOT MY PARENTS, IT'S YOU.

I THOUGHT I WAS OKAY.

IT WAS ALMOST 3:00 IN THE MORNING, SO I DROVE HOME.

HALFWAY HOME, DIXON PULLED ME OVER

FOR A BROKEN TAIL LIGHT AND SMELLED BEER.

HE NAILED ME WITH A D.W.I., UNDERAGE DRINKING, AND THE BROKEN TAIL LIGHT.

I EARNED MYSELF A ONE-WAY TICKET

OFF THE HOCKEY TEAM AND INTO A.A.

WELL, IF YOU NEED ANYTHING-- I WON'T.

LOOK, I TRY TO DO THE RIGHT THING, BUT FORGET IT.

YOU GOT YOURSELF INTO THIS MESS...

YOU'LL PAY THE CONSEQUENCES.

( indistinct radio transmission )

I CAN'T GET THIS DAMN THING TO WORK. HERE.

TELL THEM THEY HAVE A BIG EXAM NEXT WEEK.

STUDENTS OF MEAD HIGH,

CLASSES WILL BE CANCELED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

I WOULD ASK THAT YOU PLEASE LEAVE THE PREMISES IMMEDIATELY.

HEY.

THEY BLOCKED TRAFFIC. THEY'RE SAYING THAT SCHOOL'S CANCELED.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

HELLO? CHRISTY?

CHRISTY?

Girl: WHAT HAPPENED?

CAN'T SAY. JUST BACK UP.

HEY. HEY.

DO THEY KNOW WHO IT IS?

THEY AREN'T TALKING.

I HAD A DREAM LAST NIGHT.

DREAM ABOUT WHAT?

NEVER MIND. IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING.
