Drive Me Crazy Page #7

- Chase, you're not listening.

Some parents wanna take it off

the ninth grade reading list

because they think that...

Chase.

Why are telling me this?

I'm your past-tense

quasi-boyfriend,

not the American people.

Well, what I'm trying to say

is that both the tense and title

are negotiable.

Okay, 10 seconds.

Candy... we're not supposed

to eat it in school,

yet clubs sell everything

from M&Ms to breath fresheners.

Today, our investigative report...

"Dollars and Certs."

The marching band

couldn't march without it.

Cheerleaders couldn't cheer

without it...

Nicole...

about Friday night...

It's called an easy-out clause,

Chase,

'cause it's supposed

to be easy.

So that's it, huh?

you need more closure than this?

No.

Guess not.

Boy:

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

# I'm in with the in-crowd #

# I go where the in-crowd goes #

# I'm in with the in-crowd #

# And I know

what the in-crowd loves... #

- (gibbering)

- # Any time of the year #

- # Don't you hear... #

- (Hitler speaking in German)

- (cheering)

- Go! Fight! Win!

# We cruise up and down

the street... #

- (laughs)

- (screeches)

# We get respect

from the people we meet... #

# Baby! #

(singing off-key)

(croaking)

Hey!

Just give me the key!

Ugh!

(gibbering)

Okay, we're on Wednesday at 8:00,

Thursday at 8:
00,

Friday at 8:
05.

- 8:
05?

- (phone rings)

(man yelling over phone)

Not so fast, Ray Neeley.

Man on phone:
I want the guilty party

brought to my office now! Right now!

Can I just tell you I heard

from one of the office aides

they gave Ray three weeks

of in-school suspension.

They should have kicked his ass

all the way out.

Have you ever talked to the guy?

He is such a complete loser.

It just figures that he would do

something like this. Stupid-ass.

Sue, he's gonna be winning

MTV Awards

while you're still

the local weathergirl.

Well, I guess it's easy

to be a b*tch

now that Brad Seldon's

available again.

It's easy to be a b*tch either way.

# If it's coming over you #

# Like it's coming over me... #

- (phone ringing)

# I'm crashing like a tidal wave... #

- (phone ringing)

- # That drags me out to sea #

# And I wanna be with you #

# And you wanna be with me #

- # I'm crashing like a tidal wave... #

- (ringing continues)

# I don't wanna be #

# Stranded #

# Stranded, stranded, stranded #

# Stranded, stranded #

- # Stranded, stranded... #

- (beeps)

# Stranded, stranded #

# Stranded, stranded, stranded #

# Stranded, stranded #

# If it's coming over you

like it's coming over me... #

- Hey.

- Hey, Brad.

- # I'm crashing like a tidal wave... #

- Everything all right?

Uh, listen, so about the dance...

what do you think?

# I'm crashing like a tidal wave #

# I don't wanna be #

# Stranded #

# Stranded, stranded, stranded #

# Stranded, stranded #

# Oh, baby, I miss you #

# Stranded, stranded #

# Oh, baby, I need you #

# Stranded, stranded. #

Nicole:

Centennial weekend is here.

It's time you'll wanna share

with a special someone

because it truly is

a once-in-a-lifetime event.

On behalf of the entire

Centennial Dance Committee,

we look forward to seeing you there

in your formalwear.

Girl:
That's a cut.

All right, Ray, let's reset.

- Is that all you need?

- yeah, that was great, thanks.

These will air

all day tomorrow.

Hey, that sounded good.

It was bullshit.

"Share it with someone special."

That's not reality.

I'm really sorry about Chase.

I should've known better.

My dad did it to my mom.

Eddie did it to you.

What's the point?

Dee:

you can't give up, Nicole.

Why not?

I'm through with it... all of it.

yeah, but didn't Brad finally

ask you to centennial?

That's what you've been wanting

all along, isn't it?

That's the twisted part.

I finally got what I wanted,

but it doesn't matter anymore.

Girl:

Dee, you're up next.

Electronic Voice:

Cowabunga, dudes.

Dave:

I'm thinking about college.

Chase:
you're accepted.

What's left to worry about?

I'm thinking that maybe I should go

to an East Coast school.

you know, somewhere where

no one knows me.

Someplace where I'm not

Designated Dave.

Why don't you go to State

as planned

and let Designated Dave

go off to Long Island

Junior College?

Hey, guess who got asked

to the centennial extravaganza?

Chase:

Who's the lucky lady?

Daughter Judy.

- Oh, virtually a date.

- Virtually?

She's gonna email me her address

right before the dance.

Are you going?

Oh, he was going.

Oh, you mean the horribly freakish

distorted version of your former self?

yeah.

But now you're back.

Nicole on TV:

Centennial weekend is here.

It's time you'll wanna share

with a special someone

because it truly is

a once-in-a-lifetime event.

On behalf of the entire

Centennial Dance Committee,

we look forward to seeing you there

in your formalwear.

(knocking at door)

Mrs. Maris:

Nicole, I'm leaving for the dance now.

you almost ready?

(phone rings)

(sighs)

Okay, here we go.

(doorbell rings)

Whoa.

(swing music playing)

# you only go around once #

# On this big

spinning planet of love #

# So don't be wasting my time #

# Telling me

what you're dreaming of #

# We'll take a rocket to the moon

and when we get that far #

# I'll hang your coat and hat

upon a shooting star #

# So let's live it up,

let's live it up #

# Let's live it up #

# Hang up the cat

and put the dog out to dry #

# My, my,

roll up the bird #

# Let the alligator wave bye-bye... #

Nicole, this place is amazing.

I mean, you really pulled it off.

Thanks, Ray.

And thanks for coming through

at the last minute.

Well, of course.

you deserve to be here.

It's the best.

you know,

and you look beautiful.

Come on,

let's go spike the punch.

By the way, I like your hair.

Nicole, I'm honestly sorry

about how things worked out.

I really thought Brad

was gonna ask you.

He did,

but I already had a date.

He was bummed,

so I let him know you were easy.

# yesterday. #

Nicole?

Dad?

Weren't you supposed

to be in Rio?

No, I'm exactly

where I'm supposed to be.

For once.

Gotta start somewhere.

Ray, this is my dad.

Oh, yeah? Wow.

It's good to meet you.

It's a pleasure, Ray.

Hey, you must be

real proud of Nicole...

her dreaming this up

and putting it all together.

Wow.

It's not bad, is it?

No, not bad at all.

Okay, have fun.

I'm going up to the balcony

with the rest of the aged.

Dinner tomorrow night?

Pick me up at 7:
00?

Okay. See ya.

(fanfare playing)
