Date with Love Page #8

---

dumb and stupid...

I heard you before,

and I didn't believe

you then, either.

Look...

If I show up

instead of you,

David will never

speak to me again.

Well, then you obviously

don't know him

as well as you think you do.

Heidi, you and David

are perfect together.

Anybody could see that,

except, apparently,

the two of you.

Look,

your senior prom

only happens once,

and if you miss it,

you could spend

the rest of your life

trying to make up for it.

Don't throw this chance away.

Well, the theme

is Hollywood dreams, right?

Mm-hmm.

Well, I am not exactly

what you would call

a glamour girl.

Well, that's...

That's my department.

Argh!

I can't get this

stupid thing to work.

I've got this.

Ready for the big night?

I think so.

Corsage, limo,

sweaty palms...

You name it.

I just checked Alex's

social media accounts.

She's peaking

in all platforms,

and alexanddavidgototheprom

is trending very hot.

Sounds like it's going to be

a win-win for everybody.

Oh, limo's here!

Yeah.

Win-win.

This is an outrage!

We flew all the way here,

paid our own expenses,

completely out of the goodness

of our hearts,

to make this young man's dream

come true,

and now you're telling me

that some petty bureaucratic...

Hello?

Hello!

Come on!

We've got work to do.

Love it.

Mm-mm.

No?

Daylight's still

a long time coming

okay.

But I know it will

been under their spell

oh, but we're coming awake

no.

No?

Mm-mm, nope.

Too much...

Too much?

Yeah, too much.

This is why, this is why

we crank the dial

to the right

ooh, this is why

we're biting the bullet

we know the kids are right

sing

ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

This is the one.

Different colors

ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

we carry each other

ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

we're just different colors

this is why

we're biting the bullet

we know the kids are right

we keep

cranking the music up

driving through our towns

but they don't wanna hear

they want us to turn it down

so come on, lovers

come on, haters

tonight we raise the fire

ready?

Ah, it's a little more

complicated than I'm used to,

but...

Wow.

Do I look okay?

You look amazing.

Really?

Thank you.

Oh, uh, by the way,

I hope you don't mind,

but...

I couldn't go all the way.

Let's see you.

It's probably

your Mr. Walsh.

He's been calling

all afternoon.

Well, don't answer it.

I'm not going to let him

ruin this perfect moment.

Ah, Alex, there's something

I have to tell you...

About Mr. Walsh.

I think I know

everything I need to know

about Mr. Walsh.

Well, actually...

You don't.

I didn't mean to snoop,

but I overheard

you two arguing today

about David's promposal.

You mean the one

Mr. Walsh made him write?

No.

You see,

Mr. Walsh really didn't

know anything about it.

David just ripped off the words

from Mr. Walsh's book,

and passed them off

as his own...

To you.

Why wouldn't he say

something?

He didn't want to ruin

the prom for David, I guess.

Mr. Walsh is pretty

loyal to people.

Mm.

So...

He wasn't after anything

at all.

He was just trying

to help out one of his kids.

And when he said

he didn't know who you were...

It's because

he didn't know who I was.

He just liked me for me,

and I threw it away.

Well, what are you going

to do about it?

Right now?

I am going to make

a little promposal of my own.

I'll be right back.

Hi, David.

Unfortunately,

due to circumstances

beyond my control,

i can't be with you tonight.

So, David Rogers,

consider this

my official unpromposal.

Instead, I am sending

a replacement.

Actually, she's much better

than a replacement.

She is who you should have been

taking all along.

See, I've gotten a chance

to get to know you both

this past week,

and whether

you guys realize it or not,

you're perfect for each other.

You just needed someone

to push you

in the right direction.

So please,

have fun at prom,

have the best night

of your lives...

Oh, and don't forget

to take pictures

and post them online.

Hi.

Um...

Heidi...

You're, um...

You're beautiful.

Shut up, Rogers.

You get me higher

you light the fire

somehow

you get the best of me

you make me want it

you know you got it

you got me hooked

and you're the key

yeah, I know

there's a million other girls

to see

but right now

you're the only place

I want to be

Isn't this exciting?

Takes you right back,

doesn't it?

Doesn't it?

I'd better check

the punch bowl.

Save me a dance!

I don't think we should

dance near the cool kids.

Ah, please.

We are the cool kids.

- David!

- Oh, hi.

Heidi?

Yeah!

It's really me

under here, Mr. Walsh.

It's kind of weird, right?

I think you

look wonderful,

but I thought you were supposed

to bring Alex tonight?

Oh, she wasn't allowed

to come

because of some sort of rule

or something, but...

I've got a better date anyway.

'Scuse us.

Howard...

Really makes you want

to groove, doesn't it?

Yeah.

I just heard that Alex Allen

won't be allowed

to attend tonight.

Oh, just some mix-up

with the rules.

Funny thing is, I double-checked

with the school board.

Miss hope must have

misunderstood.

Wait, it's because

of miss hope?

Yes,

but it seems that

the restrictions for attendance

do not apply to anyone

accompanying a chaperone.

Yeah.

Care to dance, Mr. Lee?

Oh, uh... okay!

'Scuse me!

We're taking

the next flight out.

She'll be back

in Los Angeles tonight,

and she can be on set

first thing Monday morning.

Absolutely.

Thank you so much.

I told you this would work!

You start a new movie

next week,

and I've had

four more phone calls

already asking

when you're available.

We're back in business!

That's great.

I...

Well, I suppose

we could always take

the first flight out

tomorrow morning instead.

Hi.

Hi.

You're leaving.

My agent wants me

back right away.

Duty calls.

So I guess

you didn't change your mind

about that driving lesson?

Well...

I changed my mind

about the teacher.

Does he accept apologies?

Well, that depends.

On what?

Whether or not you'd accept

a late invitation to the prom?

Let's dance in style

let's dance for a while

heaven can wait

we're only watching the skies

hoping for the best

but expecting the worst

are you gonna drop

the bomb or not

I wonder what happened

to Mr. Walsh.

He owes me a dance.

...or let us live forever

we don't have the power

but we never say never

sitting in a sandpit

life is a short trip

the music's

for the sad men...

Looks like somebody

found a loophole.

Can you imagine

when this race is won

turn our golden faces

into the sun

praising our leaders

we're getting in tune...

So, what's next for

America's sweetheart?

Well, I have been thinking about

that, and...

Maybe I could just be

a sweetheart here

for a little while.

Do you really want

to live forever

forever and ever

forever young

I want to be forever young

do you really want

to live forever

forever and ever

forever young

I want to be forever young
