John Tucker Must Die Page #8

Synopsis: Kate (Brittany Snow) is the new girl in school. She catches John Tucker (Jesse Metcalfe) dating three different girls at once: Carrie - the smart girl, Heather - the cheerleader, and Beth - the activist slut; none of them are aware that they are not the only girl in John's heart. Kate, having been raised by a single mother, has seen the pain caused by playboys like John Tucker, and she won't stand idly by. Together with the three jilted ex-girlfriends, they hatch a plan to teach John a lesson. Things rarely go as planned, especially when Kate starts to think that she might be falling for John herself.

He deserves the best, okay?

He obviously deserves me,

- What?!

- Please,

You don't care about him,

All you care about is

getting into Hartford,

I believe it's ''Har-vard,''

Stop it, You guys,

we're supposed to be friends,

Well, friends don't say they're

gonna do something and then...

And then totally screw

everybody over!

If you're not againstJohn,

you are not with us,

You guys really think

this is gonna help you...

get overJohn Tucker?

You're either obsessed

with destroying him...

or obsessed with dating him,

Either way,

it's always all about him,

I'm done with it,

Well, cheerleaders don't quit,

I'm not a real cheerleader,

Whatever your plan is,

count me out,

Well, don't worry about it...

because you're fired!

But...

Okay,

Hang on,

I think I know what we need,

I wish it couldjust be simple,

like a retro pop song,

Boom, end of story,

we all live happily ever after,

That's a nice watch,

No, it's-it's not

what it looks like,

But it's never really

like that, is it?

Since when are Beth and Carrie

friends with Heather?

Those girls absolutely

hate each other, Kate,

And what are they

doing talking to you?

What happened to you?

You were so different,

and now you're like...

the rest of them-

you fell for my brother,

No, I-I didn't,

No, it's-it's not like that,

I mean...

It's something you cooked

up with those three,

It's just a joke to you, isn't it?

You want to know

whyJohn fell for you?

He thinks that you're the first...

honest relationship

that he's been in,

Well, he's not that innocent, okay?

I mean, y-you know

how John Tucker can be,

Everybody knows how he can be,

He is John Tucker,

And still, every girl

in school lines up...

to date him,

knowing what they know,

And yeah, he lies to girls

to get them to fall for him,

I can't imagine the kind

of person who would do that,

Can you?

Mom! The frosting!

There's cake under it,

Yeah, I sent Skip home,

Oh,

You know, I'm starting to get

this whole ''Skip'' thing,

Look, I know my...

relationship stuff affects you,

I made mistakes,

But I would never plan

to hurt somebody,

I-I'm just...

I just got so caught up in it,

I guess...

I was invisible for so long that...

it felt good to be noticed,

Kate...

you chose to be invisible,

You thought it would

be easier that way,

Well, they're

noticing me now,

I mean, none of this is really me,

And-and now I don't even know

who my real friends really are,

Maybe if you showed them

the real Kate, you'd find out,

- Hey, happy birthday, bro,

- Scrappy,

Hey, have you seen Tommy?

We have a birthday

present forJohn,

Yeah, he's on stage, in the truck,

We 'bout to thump up in here!

People in Planes,

Yeah, that was loud right there!

Hey, look, check me out over here,

Come on, now, gather round,

It's John Tucker toast time! Yeah!

Hey,John, come up here, man!

All right, look,

check this out,

A birthday comes

but once a year...

and the good Lord

you'll be thanking,

Now, old pal,

let's cut this cake...

and see who's giving you...

- a... spanking! Ho-ho-ho!

- Tommy! Tommy, hey!

- What's up? Whatcha got for me?

Oh,just a little something

extra from the girls at Kodiak,

We love you,John!

Happy birthday,John!

- Everyone in the Poetry Club...

-Kate!

You made it, Come on,

Come wish me a happy birthday,

John, that's not why I'm here,

o, Kate...

this is just something

to show you and...

whoever wants to know,

that I'm whipped,

- You're the one, Kate,

- Aw...

Look, I've never done this

before, so...

Look, I've never done this

before, so...

This is cool,

...I'm not exactly sure how it goes,

Will you be my girlfriend?

Oh, yeah!

John Tucker,

there's only one guy out there...

- for me...

- Oh, no!

but you are not...

What's going on?

Um...

John, I have something I have to say,

This entire time...

I've been pretending to be

a bunch of stuff that I'm not...

so you would... fall for me,

- Louder!

- What's the deal?!

We were trying to break your heart...

so you knew what it felt like,

''We''?

I get it,

Well, hey...

you girls pulled it off,

Yeah,

It worked,

I'm sorry,

- What's the deal?!

- What's going on?!

You guys breaking up?

Look, this entire time,

I've been...

I've been lying about who I am,

But... I'm done pretending,

This is the real me,

This is Kate,

- Hey, Kate!

- Yeah?

You're ruining the party!

- That is so not fair,

- Oh, no!

This is all our fault,

You do not deserve this,

We should never

have done this to you,

Give me that,

Okay, Hey!

So big deal, she lied,

We all lied,

What, like you've

never lied before?

Exactly, You should be

throwing drinks at each other...

- Yeah,

- not her,

Everybody chill,

Look... they're right,

All right, we all do it,

I lie,

I pretend I'm whatever

I need to to get girls,

And it works, dude!

You're the man!

Naw, I'm not saying

it's a good thing,

- It's a great thing!

-Guys...

what I'm trying to say is...

it's wrong,

There ain't nothin' wrong

with hookin' up...

with the finest girls

in the school!

- Yeah!

Tucker! Tucker! Tucker! Tucker!

Tucker! Tucker! Tucker!

Tucker! Tucker! Tucker!

Oh!

John!

Hi,

- Hey,

- Hey,

Wow, you look... clean,

Thanks, You look

pretty clean yourself,

Thanks,

- Listen...

I shouldn't have

thrown the cake...

Kate, stop,

I deserved the cake

in the face,

And, as hard as it might be

for you to believe...

I'm gonna start telling the truth,

I mean it,

Okay, well, that...

I think that's great,

So... truce?

I'd like that,

Ow!

I think you bobbed when I...

- Weaved, Yeah,

- Right,

( laughs ):

Okay,

See you around,

Yeah, Good luck,

So, it took us

and three days to get

the stripper cake out of our hair,

But you know what?

- Kate,

- It was all worth it,

Hey, Kate,

Hey, um, uh, one sec,

- Hi,

- Hey,

So, uh...

things didn't quite work out

with Alex and I,

Um... see, we have shop

together, as well,

- Was there another fire?

- No,

No, I...

I clearly warned him...

that I shouldn't be operating

a band saw,

No way,

Um...

but Chemistry

does suck without you,

What do you say?

Lab partners?

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure,

You're perfect, Kate,

Um... you know,

'cause you're, uh...

smarter than me,

and so far, uh...

not flammable,

Right?

True,

You totally have a crush...

on the other Tucker,

She'll definitely need help

with this one,

I just upgraded my boob cam,

- We can do a full-frontal attack,

- No,

No, Let's just

hang out tonight, okay?

Hang out?

Where's that gonna go on

my college application?

And John Tucker?

And John Tucker?

We definitely got to him,

He never lied to a girl again,

with our eyes open,

Complete honesty,

Jennifer, this is Jill...
