Drive Me Crazy Page #6

- Please, Nicole, let's not do this.

I want to.

I've wanted to say this

for five years now.

When your mom got sick,

I couldn't bear to go over

to your house.

It was too hard.

I was too scared.

I just wanted to cry all the time

every time I saw her,

every time I saw you.

Even when we were together,

you wouldn't say anything.

you'd just sit there.

So, when you started wigging out

in school, skipping,

pulling the fire alarms,

I just acted like

I didn't know you.

Well, I'm over it now.

Well, 'night.

yeah.

(knocking at door)

you forgot your towels.

Oh. Thanks.

- 'Night.

- Good night.

(clinking)

After our last lab assignment,

Mr. Rope brought this

to my attention.

It seems they found four

during locker-by-locker searches.

(sniffs)

Consequently, your lab partners

will be chosen alphabetically

from now on.

(liquid pouring)

So, did you teach Chase

to jump through

fiery hoops yet?

Balance a ball on his nose?

I'm still working

on matching socks.

You two make

a very, very cute couple,

but I guess you hear that

all the time.

Why do you care?

I don't.

you're welcome to him.

I used to think he had some...

I don't know...

some social consciousness.

Is this the animal-testing thing?

your concern is noted.

Do you know anything

about his mother?

Only that she died

when he was young...

like 12 or something.

11. you know how?

No.

Cancer.

Lab rats,

medical research...

Think about it.

Hey, I finally downloaded

the original "Space Invaders."

I'm talking quality 1981 graphics.

We gotta play tonight, man.

yeah, I don't know.

I guess.

- (laughing)

- Let's see what Chase wants to do.

- What's up, man?

- What's up, man?

I think he has to make an appearance

at Brad Seldon's party tonight.

Oh, yeah.

Of course, of course.

# Crazy... #

So, this is the last

pre-centennial event for us.

We're in the home stretch.

Hey, did you say something

to Dulcie in lab?

Why?

I don't know.

She's been freaky around me.

Nice, even.

Well, mission

nearly accomplished then, huh?

I guess.

So, can I negotiate an entrance

with hand holding?

# It's easy to see

you drive me crazy #

# I just can't sleep #

# I'm so excited,

I'm in too deep #

# Oh oh oh, crazy #

# But it feels all right #

# Baby, thinking of you

keeps me up all night #

- # Sing it! Oh #

- # Crazy... #

(laughs)

(electronic beeping)

Uh! Ha! yeah!

# you can't mess with skills. #

Hey, Nicole.

Oh, hey, Brad.

- I was just waiting for the bathroom.

- Yeah, that's cool.

- So where's Kitty?

- Kathy.

Right, Kathy.

I haven't seen her here tonight.

Brad:

She said we had different beliefs.

And that was it.

Can you believe that?

I mean, I'm Lutheran.

So, it's like a fairy tale, right?

- Huh?

- I mean, you and Nicole.

Falling in love

with the girl next door.

Oh, yeah. Right.

Too bad.

What's too bad?

Well, you know,

that you're taken.

I mean, who could have known

that underneath all that rebellion

there was a heartbreaker

dying to get out?

Look at her in there.

Suddenly, Brad's on the market again,

and she's back to plan "A."

Old crushes die hard.

I wonder, are you sure

Nicole's the one?

Just think, if Brad hadn't fallen

into that cheerleader's arms,

Nicole would have gotten

exactly what she wanted.

Maybe then I would have gotten

what I wanted, too.

# Girl, your love is sweeter

than I've ever had before #

# Each and every day, girl #

# Always leaves me

wanting more #

# It's like sugar, sugar,

it's like honey, honey #

# It's even better than money... #

Remember that night

you yelled at me in the car?

- Vaguely.

- All that stuff

that you said about love

being for dopes?

you were right.

Not in this lifetime, Romeo!

- Nicole's my friend.

- Huh?

Chase:
Nicole.

Nicole!

(knocking at door)

Nicole.

# But we are two worlds apart #

# Can't reach to your heart #

# When you say #

# I want it that way #

# Tell me why,

ain't nothing but a heartache... #

How could you do that?

I was testing him.

Frankly, I think I did you a favor.

you weren't doing me a favor.

You're miserable,

and you know what they say

about misery loving company.

you just didn't wanna see me happy.

Chill, drama queen.

Remember, it's not life and death.

Are you okay?

I don't know.

(retching, coughing)

Oh, that's good.

That's good.

Reverse.

Okay, let me really see

the pain.

you called?

yeah, I called.

- I'm staying.

- Why?

- I like to party.

- (beeps)

- I like to get down.

- (sighs)

(engine starts)

I got another note

from Daughter Judy.

Yeah, she says

she thinks I'm funny.

Ha-ha-ha.

So, who all was at the party?

Everybody.

(tires screeching)

- (clanks)

- Oh!

Jesus! What the hell, Dave?

Look, sorry, but everybody

was not at the party.

I wasn't there.

Ray wasn't there.

you know, we used to be your friends

if you can remember that far back.

You know what

I remember, Dave?

I remember you cleaning out

Eddie Lampell's locker

because he said

he'd be your friend.

yeah, I did the guy a favor.

I remember you buying

Alicia DeGasario

at the student council auction

last year

and then letting her spend

the whole day with her boyfriend.

- Do you have a point?

- yeah, my point is, Dave,

you're not mad at me;

you're jealous.

What's wrong with wanting

to be liked?

You want them

to like you, Dave?

Tell them to go f*** themselves.

People like that

need people like you,

otherwise there's twice as much trash

and no one to take it out.

- you're totally losing me.

- (pager beeping)

Don't go, Dave.

There's sober people there.

They just don't wanna

leave the party.

I can't not go.

This is close enough.

I wanted to walk anyway.

(engine starts)

Eddie:

Come on, baby. Come on.

- Cut it out, Eddie. Stop.

- What?

No one's gonna know about it.

Come on.

Sorry, Dave, I would have driven

him home, but I can't drive his car.

It's a stick.

Well, I'll show you

how to drive a stick right now.

Here it is. Come on.

I meant a real car, Eddie,

not a Matchbox.

yeah, well, kiss my ass,

you once-fat b*tch.

I remember

when you were nothing.

Just a sweaty little egghead

drooling over football players.

Now you think that because

you're Mrs. Time Zone

- that your sh*t don't stink.

- Miss Time Zone.

yeah, whatever.

Shut up!

you think you're Miss Thing,

but you know what?

you're just a wannabe who got lucky

with a case of bulimia.

you're walking.

Hey, Dee, you all right?

I think so.

Eddie, stop it!

What are you thinking,

Designated Dave, huh?

This isn't

"Revenge of the Nerds," man.

- (grunting)

- Stop it, Eddie, stop!

No radioactive spider bit you.

- Dee:
Stop!

- (spits)

Get your ass up

and drive me home.

And you... (screaming)

Sorry.

you wanna get out of here?

Can you bring me back

to the party, please, Dave?

- I need to talk to Sue.

- Okay.

(Eddie groaning)

(engine starts)

Dulcie:
Maya Angelou...

"I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings."

- Really, you do?
