Wait a minute, wait a minute.

I went to Elaine's

and then I saw Princess

Lee Radziwell, right?

And I said, "Hey..."

Hey, Princess Lee, what're you trying

to do, make me sick or something.

- Look!

- Right on.

Hey, you fine thing!

Hey, you got any tickets you wanna sell?

Wanna buy some ludes?

Anything you want, baby.

Not from you, slime.

- Dykes!

- Dykes!

Dykes!

Baby!

Kissy, kissy!

- Yes, yes, yes!

- Come on, girls!

- Why don't you stop, please?

- Why?

To check your purse.

Pull it down, please.

Come on. Where you guys been?

The first group's already on. Let's go.

Good evening.

Look, we're missing Heavy Waters.

Skip says they're dynamite.

I see you got your tickets okay.

Yeah. Thanks.

You don't have to thank me.

I mean, my dad gets these

tickets for free, right?

- Hi, Scott. How's tricks?

- Hi.

Hey, who's Skip?

- A surfer.

- What's wrong with that?

Let's shoot the curl, man.

She okay?

Maybe you better go on in

and check out the seats.

I already did.

They're dynamite. Come on.

Dynamite...

You got an attitude, you know?

Why don't you just try

and be sweet, okay?

I'm not going in by myself.

Why not?

'Cause you're with me.

- I mean, you're...

- What?

You used to be my girl.

Hey, Jeanie! There's your main man!

Here's your guy!

- Hey, there's Bobby.

- Where?

Okay, Dee. Do your stuff.

- Hi.

- Hi, Deirdre. Am I late?

Who are you?

Who is he?

Bobby, Bobby.

I got to talk to you, okay?

Come on. Come here.

I've got to talk to you.

Are you sick or something?

Here. Why don't you sit down?

Have you ever known me to sh*t you?

Yeah, all the time.

Well, this is the one time that

I'm not going to, all right?

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah. It's Annie.

She's really sick.

She doesn't look sick.

Well, that's 'cause she's not talking

to the blonde guy over there.

- I'm going in.

- No, no! Look, see...

We tried to distract her mind, right?

So we line her up with this guy

and she takes one look at him, right?

She totally freaks.

She thinks he looks like her dad.

- And she almost pulled...

- He doesn't look anything like her dad.

Well sure he does. I mean, he's got like

the whole cop thing going for him.

She almost pulled a whole self-destruct

thing right on the spot!

Bullshit!

And, well, you know that she's

always had this thing for you and...

Since when?

Since she was 12 years old!

Don't you remember?

She always thought that you

were like all four Beach Boys

rolled into one pair

of flippers, you know?

- You're a lying b*tch.

- Yeah, and you're Annie's date.

Well, what about Deirdre?

She's being kind.

- Yeah?

- She agreed to sit with Greg.

For Annie.

You gotta keep it low, keep it low.

Two bucks.

Do you want a lude?

Hey, what's going on?

Hi.

- Where are you sitting?

- With Annie.

I'm her date.

Well, f*** you guys.

What's wrong with him?

I don't know.

Watch 'em move

Watch 'em shake it down

All right!

Strolling to the beat

To the beat of the song

They're looking good

Like foxes should

Dancing to the music

All night long!

No one can do it

Better than they can

Twentieth Century Foxes!

Hanging tough through thick and thin

They're stepping out

Stepping out of...

You get your tickets, all right?

Yeah, thanks.

My friends say thanks, too.

- All right. How's your mom?

- She's okay. I was hoping...

- Dad, can I ask you something?

- Yeah, of course.

- He's on the bass.

- Good. Okay.

Oh, God, we gotta go

to Seattle tomorrow.

Three nights in a football field.

Dad...

I'm sorry. Go on, ask.

Maybe after the concert.

Come on. We'll go in here.

Oh, Christ.

Here.

Are you that unhappy?

It's not that, Dad. It's just...

We want some place where we can

help each other, you know?

Look, why won't it wait until

I come back into town, eh?

I'm gonna be here all through Christmas.

We'll see a lot of each other.

Anyway, I want you to meet Sandra.

Did you meet Sandra?

- No.

- Good God, what a cook!

Her Japanese is superb. You'll like her.

Just a minute. Give us a minute. Please.

Getting any rest?

What you ought to do?

You ought to go out and get a

nice little place for you and Mom

in the Valley with some trees around it.

I'll pay for it.

Mom likes where she is.

I'm talking about me, Dad.

What a bummer.

Living in a place like that

with all those dead plants.

Look, it's not gonna take much.

It just means the child

support bit, that's all.

Look, I can't mess with that!

Those lawyers would roast me,

wouldn't they?

You need any money or

anything for clothes?

No, I'm okay.

Look. Stick with Mom.

Christ, it's bad enough

having an absentee dad.

- I don't mind.

- I do.

Look, I'll tell you what.

At Christmas,

let's go back up on to the ranch.

Come on.

One of these days I'm gonna

buy out Zak and the other guys.

You and me can own the ranch.

We'll get rid of all

those crazies up there.

Just you and I

and lots of your friends.

And well get some horses in.

Plenty of horses.

It'd be great, wouldn't it?

Yeah.

Waste the night away!

Can I stay with you tonight, Annie?

I'm staying at Jeanie's.

Well, can I stay with you?

What do you mean?

Can I sleep with you?

God, Brad. What if I meet someone slick?

You know, you really

are shitty sometimes.

'Cause I won't sleep with you?

We've known each other

practically forever.

- Can I stay with you?

- Me?

I told my dad I wasn't coming home.

You want to... Jesus, Brad.

It wouldn't be bad.

Jeanie?

- Duke! Duke! There's Duke!

- Hey, don't! Will you let go?

- Honk the horn! Honk the horn.

- Would you quit it?

- Hey, Annie, what about my party?

- Duke!

Hey! How you been?

- Oh, crap.

- Sh*t.

It's all over with Scott, huh?

Guess so.

You know, you've been together

with him for three years.

- It's too much.

- Yeah.

You know, when I first met him

I was so much in love with him

that every time I saw him, I'd cry.

He couldn't figure it out.

"Hi," he'd say, and I'd just blubber.

It was really weird.

I bought this necklace,

this bracelet for him in Laguna.

I never had the guts to give it to him.

Then finally, when we got together,

I never gave it to him, because it

reminded me so much of him that

I just didn't want to

let it go, you know?

He sure has changed

since he got the van.

Changed since he got the hair blower.

Guess you don't feel

much like my party, huh?

Yeah, why not?

Jeanie, there's a lot of other guys.

Yeah? Like who, for instance?

Lots.

- Lots of egos.

- No.

Out of control egos.

You know about guys.

What's that supposed to mean?

I mean you've slept with guys.

A lot.

I slept with a couple of guys in

ninth grade, 'cause it was new.

But I'm not some total

dingbat like Deirdre.

Okay.

- I'm no Suzy Slut, you know what I mean?

- Yeah.

- I slept with a guy once.

- What?

We didn't do anything or anything.

We just slept.

I mean, he held me so tight my

nose was pushed against his neck.

I thought I was going to suffocate.

Who was this guy? The Boston Strangler?
