Easy A
The rumors of my promiscuity
have been greatly exaggerated.
I used to be anonymous,
invisible to the opposite sex.
... he couldn't find me if I was
dressed up as a 10-story building.
Pretty cutting-edge stuff, huh?
A high school girl feeling anonymous.
Who am I? What does it all mean?
Why am I here? Blah.
But don't worry,
this isn't one of those tales.
Though it sure started out that way.
And then it changed pretty quickly
when I started lying...
... about some very personal things.
So let the record show that I,
Olive Penderghast...
and below-average breast size...
... swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth...
... and nothing but the truth.
Starting now.
And what better way
to share my private thoughts...
... than to broadcast them
on the Internet?
So here it is. Part one.
The shudder-inducing and cliched,
however totally false account...
...of how I lost my virginity
to a guy at a community college.
Let me just begin by saying
that there are two sides to every story.
And this is my side, the right one.
George is not a sexy name.
George is what you name
your teddy bear...
...not the name you wanna
scream out during climax.
And by that, I assume you mean?
The stable and self-perpetuating
end stage...
...in the evolution
of a plant community.
- Right.
- Why, what were you thinking?
The same. But I don't say it out loud
lest someone get the wrong idea.
I think you know innuendo
is attached to everything these days.
Innuendo? What...?
Whatever do you mean?
Rhiannon, Olive, go hit the books.
They don't hit back.
Also, hugs not drugs.
Mess with the bull, get the horns.
And any other cliches
you can come up with.
Bye, Mr. Griffith.
Bye.
- Watch your mouth.
- Sorry.
Mr. Griffith is my favorite teacher.
Although,
after all the trouble I caused...
... I don't know if I'm still
his favorite student.
You know, these are bad for you.
It leads to unwanted pregnancy,
all sorts of things.
Mismatched tires on your vehicle,
which is nonexistent.
And here is where the trouble began.
The lie that started the whole thing.
Please, please, I'm begging you.
I will pay you. I'll pay you.
Rhi, I cannot go camping
with you, okay?
I'm sorry, but I have a date.
- Okay? I told you.
- With who?
- You don't know him.
- And neither do you, you selfish b*tch.
Yes, I do.
He goes to college with my brother.
Okay. What's his name, then?
Rhiannon is what you'd call
a strong personality.
She asked me to come camping
with her family...
... and I don't know why
I didn't wanna go.
A little because I didn't feel like
hanging out with her all weekend.
But mostly because her parents are
the weirdest people I have ever met...
... and I live in California.
I ate dinner at her house once
and I swore, never again.
- This is interesting.
- Patchouli burger.
We grew it in our victory garden.
You want some dessert?
No, thank you.
I'm trying to watch my figure.
Well, I'm not.
So I lied and told her I couldn't go...
... because I had a date with a friend
of my brother's named George.
Let's just face it, there is no such thing
as a sexy George.
Yeah, well, mine is...
put this conversation to bed.
Fine, don't go camping with us.
Just know I hate you, b*tch.
Go get your chocolate milk.
- Do you want one?
- No.
And here's how I really spent
the weekend.
That's the worst song ever.
But on Monday, when Rhi asked me
how my weekend was...
He was charming, you know?
He was a real gentleman.
And it feels like I got a love
and I know that it's all mine.
Okay, okay. Wait, wait.
So are you going to see him again?
No. No, probably not. You know,
it was just one of those weekends.
A whole weekend?
Yup.
- Wait a minute. You didn't have...?
- What?
No. No, of course not.
You liar.
You totally lost your V-card to him.
- No, I didn't.
- Yes, you did.
- Tell me everything.
- Rhi, I'm not that kind of girl.
The kind that does it,
or the kind that does it...
...and doesn't have the balls
to tell her friend?
- What?
- I want every detail.
- Rhi.
- Now, b*tch.
You know, you call me "b*tch" a lot.
Okay?
- It's not a term of endearment.
- I want every detail. Now, shitface.
You're not heading
in the right direction.
Tell me.
Fine.
We did it.
Yes!
Finally.
Now you're a super slut like me.
I don't think letting Peter Hedlund
motorboat you...
...behind a Bed Bath & Beyond
really makes you a super slut.
There were a lot of people walking
past. Someone could've easily seen.
Whatever. This isn't about me,
this is about you.
What'd you let him do?
It was normal. You know?
Nothing freaky.
I don't know why I did it.
I guess maybe it was because
it was the first time...
... I had sort of felt superior to Rhi.
But I just started piling on lie after lie.
It was like setting up Jenga.
Do you know, like, Glade candles?
Those kind, but they were, like,
sexy Glade candles.
- He was sweet. He was...
- Of course.
What the hell are you looking at,
Sister Christian?
Just a couple of admitted whores.
Marianne Bryant is the secretary
of the student council...
... chairman of the Orange Blossom
dance committee...
... and president of
... a club dedicated to shoving
their beliefs down people's throats.
Obviously they don't care.
the changing of the school mascot.
Give it up for your Blue Devils!
Blue!
Blue Devil!
Yeah.
Yeah!
How can we exhibit school pride
when we're conveyed to others...
...as Satan worshippers?
Now, thankfully,
we're the much less intimidating...
Give it up for the Woodchucks!
Hey! Go, Woodchucks!
Woodchucks!
I liked Todd much better
when he was topless.
Yeah, but even dressed as a
woodchuck, I still fantasize about him.
Woodchucks.
Now Marianne had
a new cause celebre.
Me.
Which brings us to part two.
The accelerated velocity
of terminological inexactitude.
Which is really just my obnoxious way
of saying that lies travel fast.
And, boy, did my terminological
inexactitude accelerate with velocity.
Did you hear about Olive?
No way.
- She's not a virgin anymore?
- I can't believe it.
- Olive lost her virginity.
- Yeah.
Maybe next time a certain somebody
will be a little more careful...
...what she says in the water closet.
Yeah, about that? It's...
That's actually not what you think.
Can I talk to you alone
for a second?
- You gonna be okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine. Thank you.
Bye, Nina.
What you heard in the bathroom
the other day wasn't true at all.
- It's actually a funny story.
- Olive. That's your name, right?
Yeah, yeah. And you're Marianne.
We've had nine classes together
since kindergarten.
Ten, if you count Religion
of Other Cultures, which you didn't...
...because you refused to go.
Yeah. Listen, I'm not the one
that you have to answer to...
...for your depraved behavior.
