♪♪ [ Toy Piano ]

It's because Camille

is playing the piano.

Knock it off, Camille!

You knock it off!

Can you meet me

at McCullum in 1 0?

You knock it off, Chip!

You're a penis cheese!

[ Needy ]

Uh, 1 5?

[ Woman ]

♪ Well, no one knows this place

- I gotta go.

- I am a god.

Okay. I gotta meet Chip

in McCullum Park.

You know, Chip is looking

really cute to me lately.

So, tell me, is he, uh, like, packing

some serious pubic inches?

What's the story down there?

I gotta go.

[ Siren Wailing ]

[ Chattering ]

Why are the cops

at your house?

They're not. They're

atJonas Kozelle's house.

Why? He try to sell fake peyote

to the eighth graders again?

No, Needy. He was murdered.

What?

Yeah.

Someone ripped Jonas

limb from limb in the woods

behind school.

They ate parts of him.

No one's even supposed to know yet,

but my dad just went over there

and talked to the cops.

His mom is, like, catatonic.

She's just staring out

the front window like a zombie

mannequin robot statue.

[ Insects Buzzing ]

This can't

be a coincidence.

What are you

talking about, Needy?

A fiery death trap

last night,

and now a cannibal psycho

takes down the biggest guy

in school?

Come on.

It's freaktarded.

Well, the bad luck's

gotta be over, right?

I mean, it can't get any worse,

right? It can't.

I mean, you agree, right?

You're shaking.

Well, I'm cold.

It's very cold out here.

You want my hoodie?

The days marched on as usual,

to enjoy ourselves.

Most of us.

♪ We made a mistake, dear ♪

[ Needy Narrating ]

To the rest ofthe world,

we were famous. We were saints.

Our town's only bar

had burned to the ground,

and our star linebacker

was someone's Snack Pack.

The whole country

got a huge tragedy boner

for Devil's Kettle.

And the press, God!

They couldn't get enough

of our little world of sh*t.

Still, we were healing.

Like Chip, we figured things

could only get better.

Hey!

We had faith.

We were f***ing idiots.

Before the period ends,

I'd like to make an announcement.

As you all know, today is

the one month anniversary...

ofthe tragedy

at Melody Lane...

and the murder ofJonas Kozelle.

[Jennifer ]

Boring.

[ Girl ] Jesus!

What a b*tch.

As I was saying,

Jennifer and Needy,

I finally have some good news

to share with all ofyou.

The members ofthe rock and roll

group Low Shoulder...

have decided

to extend a helping hand

to our community.

As you all know, their song,

"Through The Trees,"

has become our unofficial anthem...

of unity and healing.

[ Sighs ]

And they have decided

to release it as a benefit single.

Three percent ofthe profits

will go to local families...

who have been affected by loss.

What about the other 97%?

I mean, that's just crass, right?

"Crass." It means greedy,

exploitative, scummy.

Low Shoulder

are American heroes.

No, they're not!

I was there, Chastity.

They didn't help anybody

escape the fire.

I don't even know how

that rumor got started.

Rumor? Rumor?

It's true.

It's on the Wikipedia.

We wouldn't even know

who they were ifthey hadn't

been playing that night.

- They used us.

- You take that back, Needy Lesnicki.

- Girls—

- We need them now more than ever.

- That's enough.

- [ Bell Rings ]

I'm already sick ofthat song.

Yeah, it's really poorly produced.

Could the bass

be any lower in the mix?

No offense, but you

look really tired.

Is everything okay?

No. I feel like boo-boo.

My skin is breaking out,

and my hair is dull and lifeless.

God. It's like I'm one

ofthe normal girls.

Are you P.M.S.-ing

or something'?

P.M.S. isn't real, Needy.

It was invented

by the boy-run media

to make us seem crazy.

Don't look at me like that!

It's just wearing off

or something.

What's wearing off?

Hello, Needy.

Hi.

Jennifer.

Hi, Colin.

Can I borrow

your English homework again?

I forgot to read Hamlet.

Is he gonna f*** his mom?

No— I don't— I don't—

I don't think so.

Um, I actually wanted

to ask you something.

You wanna know

if I'll go out with you?

No!

Yeah. What? I—

- I don't g— How'd you know?

-Just go ahead with the pitch.

Okay. Um—

Well, we've been having

a lot of fun in class, you and I,

and I thought that maybe

you'd like to go see a movie

or something.

There's a, uh, midnight showing

of Rocky Horror at the Bijou

next weekend.

I don't like boxing movies.

Yeah, but it's no—

It's not a... f***ing boxing movie.

Um, f*** it.

Okay. Forget it.

- That was random.

- I'm used to boys asking me out, Needy.

Colin's really nice.

He's into maggot rock.

He wears nail polish.

My dick

is bigger than his.

I think he's really cool.

You do?

Yeah.

Wait. Colin.

Why don't you just come by

my place tonight?

I just got Aquamarine on DVD.

It's about this girl who's,

like, half-sushi.

I guess she has sex through

her blowhole or something.

Okay.

[ Chuckles ]

Great, yeah.

Okay. I'll text you

my address.

Cool.

Hi.

Hey.

Mmm. Hi, Chip.

[ Chuckles ]

Hey, hey.

Ugh.

Get a room.

So, talking

to your mysterious pal

Colin Gray again.

No. He was asking Jennifer

out on a date.

That's weird.

So are you gonna

come over tonight?

Sure, I'd like that.

I went to SuperTarget

and picked up more condoms, so—

Thanks.

Not that that has

anything to do with—

Oh, no, I didn't assume that.

Well, I'm—

Okay. I'll see you tonight then.

Okay.
