At the moment,

I'm only interested

Say a few words, Kevin.

Max:

Say a few words,

Kevin.

All right.

Kevin:
thank you.

As my first

official action

as your new

senior class president...

I think I'd like

to demand a recount.

What?

a recount.

Wait a minute,

you can't do that.

Yeah,

as a matter of fact,

I think we can

do it right now.

Everyone here

who voted for me,

could you just raise

your hand, please?

[Audience muttering]

Thanks.

And now

how many for Max?

Kevin:
come on

up here, Max.

Andrew!

Andrew!

Kevin:

There's your real

president.

Andrew!

Please...

Please, I'm not the person

you think I am.

[Gunshot]

Get down!

Down, everybody!

Get down!

[Screaming]

get down!

Aah!

get--

I thought I was the only one

that wanted to kill you.

Take a number.

[Grunting]

Easy, Max!

Andrew, you're pushing it.

You know, you're

a piss-poor hit man.

You seem a little nervous.

What kind of a--

what kind of a sniper

is afraid of heights?

What's your name?

You know my name,

what's yours?

How much is kapados

payin' you, anyway?

You know what Freud says

about people

who play with guns?

They have little d*cks.

[Grunting and yelling]

Aah!

Max!

Ow!

Aah!

[Screaming]

Aah!

[All scream]

Girl:
oh, my god.

[Sirens approaching]

Bailiff:

for the court.

Andrew morenski.

And do you,

Andrew morenski,

swear to tell the truth,

the whole truth,

and nothing

but the truth,

so help you god?

I do.

Mr. breach,

your witness.

Thank you,

your honor.

Mr. morenski,

how well do you recall

the first time

you met the defendant,

Mr. Victor kapados?

Andrew:
very well.

In your own words,

would you describe

for the court

the circumstances

of that meeting.

Mr. ahern, Mr. Rodriguez,

and I were at our offices.

I-i believe it was in...

Andrew.

Make it short.

You have a plane

to catch.

I'll wait over here,

Andrew.

I have to go away

for a little while, grammy.

They wouldn't

tell me where.

Yeah, I know,

that's, uh...

That's

one of the rules.

Well, it's a bad rule.

I'm your grandmother.

I can't tell you where.

But they let me

have a little bit of a say

in the decision so...

So I'll be fine.

No more trading stocks.

No.

No, but, uh...

[Exhales]

But that may not be

such a terrible thing.

Your parents would be

so proud.

And you already know

how I feel.

Good-bye, honeyboy.

Be good...

[Laughing and talking]

[Horn blares]

[Engine revs]

We're gonna bust

a move in a serious--

you know

what I'm sayin'?

Yo, Patrick!

Clinton, guy,

this is my new

set of wheels.

Patrick, my man,

get in here.

Yo, that's a live ride.

Whoo!

Check that out.

All right, all right,

picture time, let's go.

On 3--1, 2, 3!

Bust a move!

[Shutter clicking]

[Tower bells tolling]

Hi.

I'm getting

my teaching degree.

My s.A.T. Scores

were not very good,

but I had a few friends

in the justice department.

I know this

is a little strange.

A little strange?

It's a lot strange.

Yeah, well, uh,

I've been here a while

tryin' to figure out

how to talk to you.

So, uh, are you still

seein' that, uh, g--

Kevin?

yeah.

No, that

was high school.

I followed

the trial.

I'm really glad

you're ok, Max--

Andrew.

Oh, wait.

You stay right there.

Let's start

all over again.

Hi, I'm Eddie Collins.

Nice to meet you.

Uh, I'm new here.

May I?

Oh, thanks.

Ha ha--Eddie Collins?

It's just a name.

Is that the best

you could come up with?

It sounds so fake.

Shh.

It is.

So, Eddie...

How do you

like college?

You know...

It's much better

the second time.

[ So different now

by Felix Cavaliere playing]

drivin' home

when a song came on

and played my memory

I remember

when I hear that melody

your eyes, your smile

too

long ago

we paint a picture

of our dream

it's all so easy

when you're 17

ooh

ohh-ohh

the more things

seem to change

the more they

stay the same

ridin' shotgun

and holdin' hands

drive-in movies

and rockin' bands

all that lovin'

in midnight sands

it's so different now

oh,

it's so different now

where's it gone?

the feelings that

were once part of me

drifted out like waves

upon the sea

ooh

they come

they go

play that song

the one that holds

a special place for me

'cause it makes me

feel so right

ahh

ooh

the more things

seem to change

the more they

stay the same

ridin' shotgun

and holdin' hands

drive-in movies

and rockin' bands

all night lovin'

in the midnight sands

it's so different now

oh,

so different now

yeah

lions gate entertainment

it's so different now

oh,

it's so different now

ridin' shotgun

holdin' hands

drive-in movie

good rockin' band

ohh...
