Well, Sheila had a baby at 16.

Yeah, my grandmother was married.

Well, she didn't want to marry the guy.

Okay, okay. Don't get mad.

I want to ask you a question.

Do you really love me?

- That's the question?

- No, I'm getting to that.

But I want to know that first.

I'm in love with you.

You know what that means?

Yeah, it means you throw up a lot.

No, seriously.

Every time I listen to the radio,

every song I hear is about you.

I've been sick a lot.

What's the question?

Well, I know how we didn't

actually do anything that night

because you have this tremendous

amount of respect for me.

I appreciate it.

Like you say, you don't

want to rush into anything,

not when you feel so deeply about

somebody and everything, but...

Yeah?

What would have been so wrong with it?

What?

If we made love.

Would it have been so terrible?

Well, no.

What time does your plane leave?

They got planes going

all day to New York.

Hello?

Jeanie? Hi.

I've been a terrible friend to you.

I've been keeping a secret from you.

It's just about the most

important secret in my life.

I feel terrible. I'm in love.

A guy named Jay. You don't know him.

He's much older.

Yeah, guess what?

I'm in his bed now. Yeah.

Madge?

Did you cry?

What the hell, maybe I will.

He says if I want why don't

I spend all my time here?

Except when he's out of town,

and then he says everybody can stay here.

Yeah, Annie, too. Annie's cool.

Well, he wants to meet you, too.

But I'll talk to you later, okay?

Okay. Yeah, okay. Bye.

- That was Madge.

- I heard.

Things like that can really

make you sad, you know?

Yeah. The day your best

friend gets de-virginized.

No, it's not that.

She's the type of girl that...

She goes to bed with a guy once

and that's it, she's gonna marry him.

Come on. A girl gets married at 16,

she'd have to be real ugly.

We'll probably never see her again.

You know, I'm not gonna

get married until I'm 26.

Maybe I'll have a baby and then

decide if I really need the guy.

But not before I'm 26.

What are you gonna do up until then?

Just what I'm doing now.

Have a good time.

Good time.

This is making me sick.

I hope Jay doesn't mind us

using all his logs.

Nah, he won't mind.

- Wait a minute.

- Sh*t.

We gonna have a fire again?

- We're trying.

- Isn't it awful hot?

Didn't you like the

fire we had last night?

Yeah, it was like Camp Fire Girls.

A lot of the old songs.

When you got a home,

you gotta have a hearth.

Okay. Here we go.

God, look at this!

Look what you did to my floor.

It's Jay's floor.

We better get a vacuum

and clean this sh*t up.

Hi.

- Yellow Zonkers. Fiddle Faddle.

- Caramel.

- Twinkies!

- LAY'S!

- Look at this!

- Wheat Thins?

I'm on a diet.

- What's this?

- Malt liquor.

This is supposed to be a dinner,

not a football game.

- Go yourself next time!

- You're the only one with an ID.

- Where's the cream cheese?

- I ran out of money.

No dip? Thirteen bucks and no dip?

I don't believe you, Deirdre.

God, what a gimp.

No dip?

F*** you all, okay?

I'm the only one who has to go to the

store all the time and buy that stuff.

And my mom doesn't even

know where I am for sure.

She sounded really worried on the phone.

Come on, Dee.

I don't even know what we're doing here.

This is a place of our own, you know?

A family sort of.

Wait right here.

Maybe I should go

home for a little while.

Look, Dee, forget your mom, you know?

When you go out in the world,

it gets scary sometimes.

Learn to laugh a little.

Yeah. Why don't we ever have a party?

A party without Jay?

Forget it.

I'm sorry. I'll be right back.

Hey! This is dumb.

Jeanie?

How about a little something

for those glasses?

- Sh*t!

- Annie!

Terry?

Carter? Here you go. Greg?

Thanks.

Greg?

Need anything from the kitchen?

Yeah, just you, Deirdre.

I think this occasion calls for a toast.

Great. Carter has this

tremendous speaking voice.

Sh*t!

- I'll get it.

- I got it!

I'll get it! I'll get it!

Are you gonna be gross at our party?

I told you we shouldn't invite him.

I wanted a real date.

- I'm a real date.

- You're a nerd.

You know, you piss me off sometimes.

Well, why don't you just grow up?

Get taller or something.

Brad, you're tall enough to eat dinner.

Now why don't you dry up?

Go get some coffee.

It's okay.

I'm sorry.

Hey! Rejection.

- Hey, hey, is this stoked?

- Yeah, really stoked.

Why don't you sit over there, okay?

- All right.

- Nice!

Everyone, start.

I'll be back.

- Is Laurie here?

- No, Debbie, this is a private party.

Well, Laurie told me to meet her here.

Look, Debby,

I'm really gonna get pissed.

I don't know how Laurie

knows about this party, okay?

Well, excuse me!

Can I at least come in and wait for her?

- No.

- God!

Good night.

This party is, like, wow!

I looked over at the other table.

- Yeah?

- And it was her!

Joni Mitchell, man.

I could not believe it

and she looked terrific.

Anyway I put my hand on Corky's hand

and I go, "Hey, that's Joni Mitchell".

And he goes, "Yeah," you know,

just like it was his mother or something.

Joni Mitchell. Wow! It was

like freaking out. I mean...

I could not believe it.

Joni Mitchell. Wow, man.

Anybody hear the new

album by Weather Report?

I smiled at her. She smiled

back at me. No sh*t, man.

I thought that was so hip.

I mean, Joni Mitchell smiled at me.

Okay, Annie, okay.

- I mean, no sh*t.

- Okay. Calm down, all right?

My turn.

At least she wasn't some stuck-up twat.

- Scarlett!

- Jason.

Scarlett, it's Rhett. Let me in.

Very funny.

On good looks alone,

I deserve more than that.

Look, why don't you take your good

looks back down the hill, all right?

- Jason! Jason!

- Hey, hey, Princess.

You still go to Hollywood High?

No, Christ. I go to Pierce College now.

I'm a Psych major.

Come on in and have some champagne.

Look, this is a private party, okay?

What? You guys know Buddy, don't you?

Hey Buddy, you want some champagne?

- Come on in, Buddy.

- Banzai, all right.

No, you don't. No, you don't.

Come on, Jeanie. Dinner's over.

Look, this isn't even our place.

Well, let's ask Madge. Come on.

- Stay there.

- I'm with Buddy.

Oh, Christ.

There's a lot of guys out there.

Hey, come on outside.

I'd like to show you something.

No, thanks. I've seen it.

Now, listen.

- If you're going with a guy...

- Yeah?

You can use a diaphragm.

'Cause you got an idea

when you're doing it.

But, on your own,

you better stick to the pill,

'cause you never know what

you don't know, you know?

No! They can't stay!

You can't stay. I'm sorry.

It's okay. Don't be sorry.

Look, this is a private party, okay?

I'm just leaving.

Hey! You ready to go, darling?

Yeah, he's ready to go.

Dang you!

What's going on?

Get off the line!

You bastard!

Get off the line! I'm trying to

call the police! Get off the line!

You f***er!

Any injuries?

Some items are harmed.

Stereo equipment mostly,

but nobody wants to remember who
