13 Going on 30 Page #3

Synopsis: After total humiliation at her thirteenth birthday party, Jenna Rink wants to just hide until she's thirty. Thanks to some wishing dust, Jenna's prayer has been answered. With a knockout body, a dream apartment, a fabulous wardrobe, an athlete boyfriend, a dream job, and superstar friends, this can't be a better life. Unfortunately, Jenna realizes that this is not what she wanted. The only one that she needs is her childhood best friend, Matt, a boy that she thought destroyed her party. But when she finds him, he's a grown up, and not the same person that she knew.

I think that's kind of the point.

Try it. It's soft-sheII crab.

Thanks.

Hi, Tom-Tom.

Oh, God, no one's caIIed me that

since I had my nose job.

-You had a nose job?

-Yeah, and yours is better.

Anything to drink, Iadies?

-An appIe martini.

-Can I have a Iemonade, pIease?

Oh, wait. Make it

a pia coIada, not virgin.

Do you wanna see my ID?

TotaIIy have it.

There you two are.

Lucy, very nice.

Sort of a dangerous mermaid Iook.

And you.... Barbie meets Britney.

You Iook just

''scrum-didIee-umpcious''!

I know. I mean, thank you.

Everybody Wang Chung tonight,

right?

Here you go.

Thank you.

-I'm sorry, it's Iate.

-We're keeping you up, are we?

It's onIy 1 1 :
00. Stay a whiIe.

It's 1 1 :
00 on a schooI night

and I'm at a party. It's so cooI.

It's 1 1 :
00 and peopIe are Ieaving.

This is a disaster.

It is?

Speaking of disasters,

what is she doing here?

-Who?

-Sparkle's editor in chief, Trish Sackett.

TweIve o'cIock and headed our way.

Hi, girIs. Our J. Lo issue is seIIing

Iike hotcakes. How's yours doing?

My God, are things so bad you had

to come to our party to eat free food?

Put some crab

in your purse for Iater.

You might want to keep some

of that biting wit for your magazine.

Or you couId change the name

to something more appropriate...

...Iike Poison or Pitiful.

Whatever's more pathetic.

You know what?

You are rude and mean and sIoppy

and frizzy. I don't Iike you at aII.

WeII, fortunateIy,

I don't care about being Iiked.

-I care about winning.

-This is deIicious.

Ladies.

Do I smeII?

Do I have bad breath?

-Am I maIodorous in any way?

-No.

PeopIe seem to be running for the exit

Iike someone set off a stink bomb.

I don't smeII anything.

I think he means

the party is a stinker.

A dud. A fIop. A zero

on a scaIe of one to 1 0.

Maybe if somebody

pIayed something eIse.

-Something with a meIody.

-PIay whatever you want.

AII I know is if those peopIe don't

start dancing reaIIy, reaIIy soon....

Here's to earIy retirement.

Matty! Matty, come here.

-Hey.

-Matty, come here.

''ThriIIer.'' Matty.

Me? No, no, no, no.

Take that thing away.

-''ThriIIer.'' Come on.

-No way.

Come on, man! Go!

Jenna, no way.

Come on, Iet's go.

I don't remember those moves.

I haven't done this in 1 5 years.

What are you, crazy?

Tear it up, dude!

-Come on, Matty.

-AII right, aII right.

Okay, here we go.

Go, ArIene!

Come on, Iet's go!

Let's go, Jenna!

-Thank you.

-To being 30.

-I've decided it's gonna be awesome.

-Of course it is.

Not to mention, biatch, the hottest

magazine editor in the worId.

Second hottest.

-Tied for first?

-DeaI.
