Or I'll break your arm.|Your pitching arm!

Oh yeah? Well, don't make me|laugh, lawn boy.

Let go.

Now!

You broke your arm|once before, remember?

You fell out of our tree house.|Kenneth picked you up...

and we carried you 12 blocks to the|hospital. Yeah, you cried all the way.

We were all friends then, remember?

And now you want to end his life...

because he's talking to patty|on your side of the cafeteria.

Oh, man, that's stupid. I know, 'cause|that's where I wanted to be.

On your side, with your crowd.|But I messed up.

See, I tried to buy my way in.

But Kenneth...|he's not trying to buy anybody.

He's just trying|to make friends. Being himself.

Cools, nerds,|your side, my side.

Man, it's all bullshit.|It's just tough enough to be yourself.

It's all right.

- Sorry.|- It's okay.

This should cover it.

I saw a crack in the moon last night.

Yeah, me too.

You ready?

Come on. Let's go.

- I gotta go, okay?|- Yeah.

- See ya.|- Bye-bye.

Hi, Ronnie.

- All right! Take a chance!|- Whoo-hoo!

Ronald!

Ronald!

- Go for it!|- Donald!

- Let's go.|- Yeah. Now, hang on.

Whoo!

Okay, let's get this deal|straight one last time.

Now, you can have Saturday nights,|but only if you ask me in advance.

Okay, I'm asking you in advance:|Will you go to the prom with me?

Not if you do|that stupid dance.

- Okay, how about kissing?|- Yeah, it's important.

- Oh, it's a must.|- Definitely.
