Girl Flu.

I believe in fairy tales

and serendipitous encounters

Catch a tiger by the

tail and make a wish

Drink from the fountain

Oh, oh oh, oh oh

I believe love will prevail

The path is clear for me to

follow

Shooting stars will leave a

trail

For me to fill with joy and

sorrow

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Leave your fear of

love behind

Let you dreaming

be your guide

If you seek then

you shall find

Rick, you're not supposed

to see me like this.

Well don't just stand

there, hand me a towel.

Sorry Gwyneth although in

this light with absolutely

no clothes on you look...

Rick we barely even know each

other!

[Jenny] Do you know what time

it is?

Um, 10:
30 I think.

I wanted to sleep in, ugh.

What are you doing here?

Aren't you supposed to be at

school?

Isn't it a school day?

Not until noon.

End of school picnic.

Really, they still have those?

Those always suck.

Mom.

Sh*t, I'll try to be more

positive.

I'm getting better at that

though, haven't you noticed?

You're doing great Mom.

Thank you.

Why do you always have to do

that?

I mean, it's still morning.

Cramps.

Much better!

(laughing)

Baby Bird is finishing sixth

grade!

That is so wild!

Oh I can't be that old.

Am I really that old?

Ugh.

You know what you should do?

Stay home from school

and watch movies with me.

Watch movies with me all day,

yes, yes!

You can't make me stay home

from school.

(giggling)

God you are a weird kid.

Coffee?

(gentle music)

Thank you Baby Bird.

There's seriously nothing in

here.

There's like pickles and yogurt.

That is not true.

There's like corned beef

hash and french fries

I brought home from work last

night.

I can't keep eating your diner

food.

Stop complaining, it's not

that bad if you nuke it first.

I hate grocery shopping.

Then let me do it.

I keep asking you and

you never let me do it.

- No!

- Why?

Kids do not grocery shop.

It's like, wrong.

But then you wouldn't be

all crabby about doing it

and then we'd have apples

and eggs and stuff.

Okay, I am totally not crabby.

You're totally crabby.

Those are Grandma's.

She's in India.

Besides, she told me I

could wear her stuff.

She didn't tell me that.

Well.

[Jenny] They're too big for

you.

I know.

Well you better be

super careful and not get

anything on them otherwise she'll

never stop giving me crap.

I will.

("Find A Little Love" by

Nick D' and the Believers)

Bye Mom.

I know a girl she

once said to me

That what you get

ain't always what you see

There's a shine behind

all the rocks and trees

The way you look

man is poetry

And while you're young

you gotta stamp your feet

Don't be afraid to

ever make a scene

They might see yeah

they might say

Gotta let it rain gotta

let it rain

But if there's a way if

there's a way

Gotta let them know let them

know

Find a little love before you

go

Hi Miss Selena.

Oh my goodness.

Robin, you look so extra pretty

today.

Thank you, so do you.

Thank you.

Hey which of the boys do you

think is gonna throw up first

after eating too much cake

and ice cream and soda?

Boys are so gross.

Some can be nice.

You gonna go over?

Um, you know I think

I'll just, think I'll...

[Selena] Here, have some

ginger ale.

Thanks.

[Boy] Ball!

(mellow music)

[Boy] Carlos, ball.

Hey you wanna listen to a

song?

My cousin wrote it.

Sure.

You gotta put both of them in.

[Dominic] Girl, you're a

dancer.

No, I'm not.

You were dancing.

That beat was epic, right?

Yo let me see your speaker, man.

Thanks.

Man, never thought I'd see you

dance.

White girl like you always so

pretty and pink and perfect.

Leave her alone man, that beat

was epic.

So I heard you used

to live in the Valley.

You're from the Valley?

Yeah, Reseda, mostly.

[Carlos] That's cool.

My uncle Charlie lives in the

Valley.

It's frigging hot there bro.

So how come you never talk?

I mean unless you have like

the answer in class or

something.

Um, I dunno.

Guess I'm just always

thinking about stuff.

[Richard] Like what?

Like how perfect she is.

It's picnic day and little

miss perfect brought a book.

(laughing)

Well.

Little miss perfect from the

Valley

always has to do everything all

perfect.

I'm not trying to be perfect.

Oh yes you are.

I'm not trying to be anything.

Huh.

Well I know one thing you

didn't do perfect today.

What?

You forgot to wear a tampon!

(laughing)

Look at that!

Didn't anyone ever tell

you to wear a tampon

if you're gonna bleed?

White jeans?

(rock music)

Oh yeah

Now listen

Back open roads

Down the city

Playing the music I love

Somehow I can't get my mind

off of you

Mom!

(gasps)

[Jenny] Oh my god!

Mom!

Okay, Arlo, will you turn off

the...

What are you doing here?

I think I'm bleeding

to death or something!

- What?

- What?

Mom look, Arlo, don't.

Oh my god.

(laughing)

You're not bleeding, you

got your first period!

Oh Arlo she got her first

period.

Oh.

- Mom!

- Honey!

You've got your period!

I think I'm gonna just

step out for a smoke.

(laughing)

Stop laughing!

I don't know what...

Oh my god, those are

Grandma's white jeans.

(gasps)

What am I?

Honey, Baby Bird, this

is a really great moment,

- you got your period!

- Mom, stop it!

Okay, okay.

What?

(coughing)

Okay.

In an ideal world what would you

want me

to do right now because I can do

it.

I mean Grandma is gonna

flip over those jeans

but let's not talk about that

right now.

But I mean when I got my

first period she did not

handle it well, she was all

like "here's a pamphlet,

"I hope you don't have any

questions."

And then slam.

I was at the picnic.

In white jeans.

Okay, everybody saw.

That girl Rachel told everybody!

I don't even know what to do!

Da da da da da

Happy first day of your first

period.

You're not helping.

I am trying to cheer you up.

It's not my fault if you don't

let me.

(humming)

I'll catch up with you guys.

Dude that's her house.

Oh.

Okay I see.

That's cool.

You know what they say.

Old enough to bleed, old enough

to breed.

Dude!

Dude you don't even

know what that means.

Hey man.

Hey.

She home?

Yeah.

I wouldn't.

I wouldn't do that if I were

you.

Why not?

Can you just give this to her

please?

Which her?

Robin, she's in my class.

Oh you mean Bird.

Yeah.

Alright, will do.

Alright cool.

Oh sorry.

Will you show me?

What?

You know.

The stuff.

The stuff?

It's not really like that.

It better not be.

Okay, you know I can do this.

Yeah I mean that is, nobody

stands when they do it.

Okay so, it, you know, you're

like that,

and then, you know, you open up

a thing

and you're like right up

in there, maybe this way.

And you're like in its spot.

You know mine veers a little to

the left

so you never really know.

You're terrible at this.

I am trying.

I want Lilli.

Okay.

Find a comfortable position.

That's bullshit.
