Laurie, run!

Somebody help!

Stop!

At the mall,

the video arcade

It's the same game

that we've played

If the boys come out tonight

Gonna see what...

I know.

I know, it's like fate

or something.

Tobe, you scared me to death.

Sorry, are you ready to go?

My dad's taking me.

It's three blocks away.

I'll see you at school.

Yeah, that was Tobe outside.

He's such a sweetheart.

I'm so glad he's gonna be there.

I can't believe

we're doing this.

My dad would kill me

if he found out.

Hang on.

Um... hold on.

Okay, come in.

Hey, kiddo.

Got a sec?

Um, yeah.

Hey, I gotta go, Jamie.

Yeah, I'll see you at school.

Okay, bye.

That's a lot of clothes

for one weekend.

It's my first sleepover.

I figure better

safe than sorry, right?

I haven't seen you this excited

in a long time.

I'm just nervous, I guess.

I don't have to go.

I can call Jamie back right now.

No. We gotta stop

burning that candle.

Laurie is cut from the same

cloth as your mother.

"Born to wander,"

your grandfather used to say.

And I knew that

as soon as she fell

for these long-haired

free-loving types,

she already had one foot

out the door.

Now, if she comes home, great.

It'll be open arms

and Thanksgiving dinners.

But you gotta worry

about you, too.

So you're going to this dance,

and you're gonna go

spend the weekend

with Jamie like you planned.

But you'll be all alone.

Don't you worry about me.

This weekend, just be 17, okay?

Okay.

All right.

Did you come in here

just to give me a pep talk?

Pretty much.

I'll see you downstairs.

Reject, reject

Reject, reject

Goddamn vandal.

You may not

respect authority, son,

but while you're on my campus,

you will respect the institution

placed here by

the good people of Michigan.

Let's go find the janitor.

You look beautiful.

You're just saying that

because you're my dad.

No, I'm saying that

'cause it's the truth.

Now get out of the car.

I will be home Sunday

before "60 Minutes."

Yeah, get out of here.

Jamie.

Look at that dress.

You look amazing.

Shut up, you do.

I've never done this before.

Sneaking out? Lying to my dad?

Ever since Laurie left, I...

Nuh. We are not telling

sad stories this weekend.

Happy thoughts.

Right. Happy thoughts.

Sean and Adrienne

sitting in a tree.

- K-I-S-S...

- Stop!

We just flirted.

He probably does it

with everyone.

Not this weekend, he doesn't.

- I gotta go grab my bag.

- Okay, I'll meet you outside.

I'm gonna get you laid.

Okay, coast is clear.

Man, I cannot believe

I let y'all talk me into this.

What else were you gonna be

doing this weekend?

Wasn't gonna be committing

a felony, I know that.

What do you think, Tobe?

I'm you're asking me

if I can get it started,

the answer's hell, yeah!

All right, dude.

Come on.

One, two, three.

Go. Go!

Get your big ass in there, man.

Quit shoving, all right?

Hey, man, it's all fun and games

until someone loses an eye,

all right?

Grab the bags.

Don't you walk away from me,

young lady!

I didn't do anything!

Maybe not yet, but you shouldn't

be hanging around

with those boys.

And that outfit is unacceptable.

What are you doing out here?

The dance is inside.

What's the matter

with what I'm wearing?

Gotta get with the times, Mr. C.

This isn't the same world

your parents grew up in.

You carry mace?

A.B.P., that's my motto.

Always be prepared.

When I was in the bush

with the 101st,

you can sure bet, little missie,

that we were prepared

for anything.

'Cause that was back in the day

when men were men

and women knew it.

Don't look at me with those

big dumb cow eyes.

Get right in there.

Get right in there.

- All right. How's that?

- Good.

Hey, man, I thought you said

you could start this thing.

I built a working ham radio

when I was 10.

I think I can start a bus.

I don't see how those two things

are related at all.

Hey, man,

if you get this thing started,

I'll even talk

to Marilyn for you.

I've talked to Marilyn

a million times, okay?

Homeboy, I'm talking

about talking, all right?

The kind you do without words?

Hot, wet, filthy conversation.

Shut up and let me work, okay?

Come on.

Come on.

Yes!

- That's what I'm talking about!

- All right, here we go.

- Whoo!

- Buckle up!

She's wearing what?

Speak of the slut,

and she will appear.

Seen Johnnie?

Not yet.

The boys should be here

any minute, though.

Maybe he's with Sean.

That's a cute dress.

It almost looks like

you have b*obs.

Thanks.

Is she for real?

She's clueless.

You seen Marilyn?

Marilyn will be here

in a minute.

She got cornered by Mr. C.

Did you hear that?

- Hear what?

- I just want to see what it is.

Psych!

You should have seen

your stupid faces.

- Real nice, Johnnie.

- Hi, baby.

- All right. Wheels.

- No way.

Come on, Jamie.

All right, whoo! Whoo!

Boom!

He got us a ride.

- Not bad.

- As if.

Adrienne, your chariot awaits,

my lady.

Whoa, hold on.

You did bring the key,

right, scholarship?

And you made arrangements?

No overprotective daddy

is gonna come

looking for us, right?

Yeah, it's all set.

You just made

the cool kids' table.

So you ready

to break some rules?

Sure, I... I mean, yeah.

Let's break some rules.

Who's missing?

Guys, I'm here!

Okay, let's get out of here

before Mr. C. realizes

we're not inside.

Getting all

Big Brother in there.

- Hey, Marilyn.

- Hey, man.

Something wrong?

What if someone notices

the bus is missing?

Johnnie's dad practically

owns this town, okay?

Nobody's gonna press charges.

Hey, would I let anything

happen to you?

No.

That's my girl.

Come on.

Goddamn turds went AWOL.

They don't know

who they're messing with.

All right, campers.

It is officially time

to party hearty!

Beer!

My... house.

Though I'm not aging

Like shadows on the wall

I know I thought

I could be in love

Just slip your hands

inside my glove

And we will see

if we feel different

When I'm not there

I want to care...

Yo, check this out.

Come on. Play.

What happened to the music?

Yeah.

Party people in the place

across the globe

We got a little story

that must be told

About the sucker MC

that took our rhymes

It sounded real good,

but it's just like mine

He liked to brag,

and he liked to boast

And all the little girlies

thought he had the most

Working real hard,

thinking that he God

So open up your ears

and listen close

The style that you need

is my style, indeed

You're deck

is steady frontin'

But you sure take heat

'Cause the suckers

on the front

And biters on the side

Ain't nowhere to run,

ain't nowhere to hide

Manny Lear was my boy

from way back when

Brotha stole my bike

when I was ten

I shoulda know better,

I shoulda known then...

What do you think

we'll endure...

Hey, man, how much longer,

you think?

Based on the direction

Adrienne gave us,

I'd say about another hour.

It's hard to tell.

It's not like they littered this

road with signs.

Sh*t!

What you mean?

We are so screwed.
