Drive Me Crazy Page #5

Synopsis: Nicole Maris is a popular high school preppy senior in Utah who gets her life turned upside down when her perfect date, Brad, falls for a cute cheerleader from another school a month before the school's centennial senior prom. After recovering from the shock, Nicole comes up with a solution to save her reputation: find a guy to appear like they're going steady and to take her to the dance hoping to make Brad jealous. Nicole then hooks up with her next door neighbor, prankster and trouble maker Chase Hammond, and tries to model him in her own image while he's looking to make his long-term girlfriend Dulcie jealous too. However, both Nicole and Chase don't expect their charade to lead it where they never expected it to.

Nipple ring, cool.

Take your top off.

Let's get a look at it.

Hey, Nicole.

Wanna dance?

# I gotta turn up the action #

# And get some rock and roll #

# Don't got no time to waste #

# I'm a rockin' mass

ready to blow... #

yeah!

# 'Cause I'm gonna be

chasing the night #

# So turn up the radio #

# 'Cause I'm gonna be

out on the street #

# yeah, we're gonna

be out all night #

# We're gonna be

checking it out #

# All right, all right! #

# 'Cause I'm gonna be

out of my mind... #

- Hey, Brad.

- Hey, Alicia.

you know,

Kathy really is a sweetie.

yeah, she is. Thanks.

you know,

it's really cool that you say that.

I mean, it really is,

'cause a lot of the other girls

have been complete b*tches,

you know?

'Cause of the whole Nicole thing.

They're just jealous.

Besides, you're better off.

Really?

I thought that you and Nicole were,

like, really good friends.

Best of, but everyone knows

Nicole's a lot of talk

and very little action.

yeah, but a lot of girls

are like that.

Not all girls.

# yeah, I'm gonna be

out of my mind #

# yeah, I'm gonna be out of it #

# yeah, I'm gonna be out tonight. #

Thank you.

- Something to drink?

- Water.

Chase, I didn't expect

to see you here.

I come here a lot.

Not lately.

Hey.

There you go.

Chase, this is Joshua.

- How you doing?

- Hey.

I didn't expect you to fall in love.

I didn't expect you

to fall into the Gap.

(whispers)

# you better run, baby, run #

# Better move on in #

# Everybody gets out

before they get in... #

There you are.

# But you must get down #

# To the other side... #

- Oh, hey, Dulcie.

- Get a room.

- Masterful.

- Huh?

I guess now I should bow down

to the queen of scams.

# you better run, baby, run #

# Better move on in #

# Everybody gets out

before they get in... #

Dave:
Got more email

from Daughter Judy.

Chase:
The same one

who stood you up?

Dave:
She said she was

at the other Nyble flick.

We were at the wrong theater.

So when's the big hookup?

I don't know.

I'm having second thoughts.

I don't think I could take it

if she saw me

and I saw this reaction

on her face...

- you know, gross disappointment.

- Dave, it's not about looks.

Uh-huh, and that's what

the Tooth Fairy was just saying.

Hey, I'm doing a student poll

for the yearbook staff.

We are doing a student poll

for the yearbook staff.

Cool. Shoot.

So what's your idea

of a perfect date?

Date... series of activities,

or date... person?

- Person.

- Activities.

- The person.

- All right.

She's the kind of girl

who will call you on your bullshit.

She's not afraid to dance.

She offers to pay.

She doesn't decide before a date

whether she's gonna kiss you or not.

She's not completely earnest,

yet she's not completely ironic,

Girl:
Four grand is a good deal

for a jumbotron.

I'd rather take the overage out

of decorations than entertainment.

We'll lose the smoke.

Girl:
We got a Brandy-style cover band

that is so right, but they cost.

Nicole, where are we budget-wise?

Anyone got a stun gun?

Hello, Nicole?

yeah.

How much money do we have left

for decorations?

Oh, the info's in my locker.

I'll figure it out later.

Okay, I'll go get it now.

(sighs)

What's up with Nicole?

- I think she's in love.

- Rupert:
Well, they are a cute couple.

She orders dessert,

and she can be ready

in 10 minutes.

Wow.

Well, we will have to change

that "bullshit" to "bull."

Well, then use "pretensions."

Okay.

Who are you?

So, what's this I hear about you

and Chase Hammond?

What do you hear?

- you're an item.

- Item?

- Mm-hmm.

- Where do you get your news?

Mothers and daughters

should confide, honey.

We saw a band.

We're going to a dance.

I don't think he's such

a good idea, Nicole.

- Why not?

- you're neighbors, for one thing.

- And another thing is...

- Yeah?

...he's too tall for you.

Oh, Mom.

It'll be okay.

Nicole:
Do you like 'em?

They're the latest.

yeah, they're great. Thanks.

We're leaving early tomorrow.

You need me to call you?

No, I'm fine.

I'm not even tired.

Hey, you feel like a walk?

Some of us require

beauty sleep, Chase.

- (phone beeps)

- Nicole:
I'll let you get that.

See you tomorrow.

- (beeps)

- Ray:
Hambone.

Dickweed.

You gotta see

what I'm working on, guy.

Better yet, I'm offering you

a chance to participate.

What is it?

My man, you've gotta

see this to believe it.

I got the editing room reserved

all day tomorrow.

I'm... I'm all booked.

Bread crumbs, mi amigo.

Hasta.

(sighs)

# I met you #

# Before the fall of Rome #

# And I beg you #

# To let me take you home #

# you were wrong,

I was right #

# you said goodbye #

# I said good night... #

Look at 'em down there,

talking about us.

Saying what, Eddie?

you know, "He's cute.

He's sweet. He's built."

He primps.

Eddie takes longer

to get ready to go out than I do.

And he gets mad at me

for making him wait?

But I do my share

of waiting, too, all right.

Well, how long are you

gonna make him wait?

The key to pleasing a woman

is sweet talk.

"you're so beautiful."

"Have you lost weight?"

And then there

are the three words

- that always seal the deal for me...

- "Another tequila shot?"

(laughing)

Come on, Nicole,

we're bonding here. Dish, girl.

Chase Hammond... big hands,

big feet, you know?

(laughing)

- Hey, Bo.

- It's Dee.

Oh. yeah.

Sorry about that.

- It never was Bo.

- Oh, really?

- I thought it was always...

- When you're 40 pounds overweight

and your last name's Vine,

it doesn't take people long

to land on a nickname.

your parents named you

"Dee Vine"?

No, Dee's a contraction.

I changed it myself.

And no one said anything?

you should go into politics.

After I dropped the weight,

dyed my hair,

got contacts,

I just kind of giggle and say,

"Oh, yeah, so and so

started calling me Dee."

Just kept attributing it

to whoever wasn't around

and pretty soon,

well, here I am.

Dee Vine.

And now Miss Time Zone.

So, why share

all this juiciness with me?

We're kindred, Hambone.

(laughing)

you think you're happier now?

I don't know. Do you?

Jury's still out.

It may have been a short list,

but before I became what I am now,

at least I knew who cared

about me.

Really cared.

(dance music playing)

That's much better!

Oh, oh!

Oh, boy, yeah!

Hey, Kathy.

Hey, Kathy!

Have you been over to Brad's?

yeah. It's nice.

Weird, huh?

His family seems so normal.

you'd never guess they belong

to one of those doomsday cults.

Are you serious?

Nicole, better grab

Captain Kangaroo.

I swear,

I can't take him anywhere.

(yelling)

- Eddie:
Hang loose, Hambone!

- Dee:
'Night!

you know,

I still have the letter you wrote me

in seventh grade.

Burn it.

you said...

you said you hated me,

and there was something in there

about how the only way

you'd ever touch me again

was if you came down with leprosy.

yeah, sorry about that.

Don't be.

I deserved it.

I'm the one who should be sorry.

- Chase, when your mom got sick...
