A Matter of Faith Page #2

[Music]

[laughter]

So, she comes over last night

to watch TV

and then she said she is

only going to watch it with me

in the lounge.

Is that stupid or what?

You know how to pick them.

Yeah, I know how

to drop 'em too.

What'?

She's one of the cutest freshmen

we've seen.

I don't care.

Aren't you getting

with her later today

at that student union.

Supposed to.

You know what you're problem is

Jason, you give up too easily.

[Caught football]

KIMBERLY:

Stephen, Dinner in five.

STEVEN:
Washing up,

be right there.

[Music]

Alright, here's your hundred.

You know what

your going to say right'?

I already told you,

I'm not going to do this.

Rachel come on,

this is a good idea.

But I can't do it.

Yes, you can.

It's just Tyler.

He's my roommate.

The guy in the red shin.

I can't.

You have to because he's cute.

You think everyone is cute.

Well he is.

Now go.

I can't.

Rachel if you pull this off,

everybody is going to be

talking about this for years.

Yeah but why me'?

Let Ally go.

No, he met Ally this summer.

He might know something's up.

Where'd you come up with

something like this any way?

I found this old book

in the library.

From when,

the nineteen seventies?

Actually nineteen sixties,

but thank you very much.

That happens to be why

nobody knows about this.

This is so stupid.

Rachel this is fun.

What are you worrying about,

I got your back.

I don't know.

You've got to loosen up girl.

I won't be able to say it

with a straight face.

Yes you can.

Come on Rachel,

just do it in the

name of college fun.

Yeah, this is your moment.

It'll be great.

Trust me.

[chatter]

Alright.

Alright.

[Music]

Here are your eggs.

Now you just got

to say everything

exactly the way

I told you to say it.

Okay! I have no idea

why I'm doing this.

You both are going to owe me.

[Music]

Excuse me, good looking.

Me'?

Yes, you.

You wanna make

a hundred dollars'?

Hundred dollars'?

Yep, hundred dollars.

Right here.

Yeah, right.

What's the catch?

No catch.

You just let me crack these

three eggs over your head

and this hundred dollar bill

is yours.

What'?

You heard me.

I crack these eggs

over your head

and this hundred dollar bill

is yours.

FRIEND:
Do it Tyler.

Come on, this is a joke, right'?

Here, your friend

can hold the bill.

FRIEND:
It's real money man.

That's a lot of cash,

what gives?

It may seem like a lotto you

but from where I come from,

that's spare change.

BUDDIES:
Just do It man,

Come on.

Come on man, hundred bucks.

Easy money bro.

Three eggs.

Do it, come on, yeah dude,

let's go.

Okay, go for it.

What do I need to do?

Just sit right there.

BUDDIES:
Alright Tyler.

That's what I'm talking about.

Hundred bucks right here.

Here comes egg number one.

[egg. Cracks]

[friends laugh]

Okay, and now egg number two,

you ready'?

Here we go.

[friends laugh]

Alright, one more to go

boys and that hundred is mine.

BUDDIES:
A hundred bucks

let's go.

Last one.

You know, I think two's enough.

I'll just take this hundred.

BUDDIES:
What?

Hey, that's my hundred?

I said three eggs.

I only did two. Bye.

BUDDIES:
There goes

his money man.

What!

BUDDIES:
Are you kidding me.

One hundred dollars.

That's not fair.

That's not fair.

[Phone rings]

Marcus Kaman.

Professor Kaman.

Well hello Phil.

Just calling to get your topic

for the October debate.

I'd like to promo it at the one

we're doing tomorrow night.

I thought we were going

in November'?

Originally yes,

but it got switched around.

You didn't get the memo'?

No, I didn't.

You mean to tell me there was

a communication breakdown

between our journalism

department and yours, again?

Imagine that.

Phil, I don't even have

a topic yet.

Can you give me a week or so'?

Yeah, I'll just say it's going

to be your department

doing the next one.

So, what are you

and Jason doing later?

We're not.

Is he busy or something?

I don't know.

Wait,

isn't he still calling you'?

Yesterday when we talked,

he hinted that we were

just going to be friends.

So.

Oh. I'm sorry.

It's fine.

He's just a friend.

It was never anything more.

I'm going to the library.

[chair movement]

You okay'?

Yeah, fine.

See ya.

[typing on a keyboard]

How's the archiving

going buddy'?

It's going.

He gave me five years to do

and I'm on year two.

Sounds like world record

pace to me.

Sounds like

a waste of time to me.

Who's going read

these old things?

You do know why

you're doing this, right'?

[Music]

No idea.

You put the articles online.

The Alumni read them.

Re-live their glory days

and donations go up.

Couldn't have said

it better myself.

Wait if that's wh at

this is all about,

I should be getting a cut here.

Evan you all set to cover the

debate tomorrow night right'?

Yes sir, I'll be there.

I should get a cut

of this Mr. Jamison.

And the University will be

indebted to you for your effort.

[Music]

No matter how times

I throw it to him.

No matter how times

I throw it to him

and no matter how accurate I am,

he just can't catch it.

Hey just, just give me

about 5 minutes

and I'll meet you over

at the computers alright.

[Music]

A excuse me, can you tell me

if I'm in the right place

to get breakfast?

I was hoping to get

a couple of eggs.

Oh hi.

[both laugh]

I thought we should be formally

introduced, Tyler Mathis.

Rachel Whitaker.

I'm really sorry

about what I did.

What about that'?

Hey look anytime

a pretty girl comes up to me

and says hey good looking,

that's all I need to hear.

She can crack eggs

over my head anytime.

You know who put me up to it.

Yeah, yeah I know.

I'll get him back.

Get him one for me

while you're at it will you'?

You got it.

You mind if I sit

for a minute'?

Go ahead.

[chair movement]

Whatcha working on?

A report for Biology.

You got Kaman'?

I got Kaman.

You know you don't have to do

any work in there right.

All you have to do is show up

every time and you'll get a C.

That's what he said.

It's true.

I had him last year.

The man kept his word

and I am living proof.

Well I need to get

better than a C.

My major's Biology.

Gotcha.

So you are going to the debate

tomorrow night right'?

Debate?

Yeah at the Fine Arts Center.

What debate?

What is it'?

There's posters everywhere.

I haven't seen any.

Well, there's one

right back there.

Where'?

If you look just around the

corner next to the copy machine

on the left, on the bulletin

board, there's a poster.

I guess you missed it'?

Must have missed it.

[Both laugh]

And these are

can't miss events.

First of all,

they're educational,

which is what college

is all about.

Second of all everybody goes

so they're social,

which is what college

is all about.

The debates are a must.

[banging on table]

I'm picking you up.

What'?

You and me,

we're going to the debate.

I don't... I don't know.

I think there's a certain

someone at this table

that owes another someone
