The six of us

met in elementary school,

and we've been together

ever since.

The sex, the Saturday nights,

all of that came way later.

And not all of it was my idea,

no matter what they say.

The boxes have been with us

as long as we've been together,

and they're a snapshot

at any given time of who we are.

The rules of the boxes

are simple.

You can put something in,

take something out,

but you have to say why,

and your box

can never be empty.

And the rules for the six of us

are just as simple:

Stay together, be a family,

love each other,

and never, ever apologize.

Video, video

Saved the day

Everyone's lookin'

For a game to play

No matter what it takes

Don't matter

if we're hangin' 'round

We're gonna take a chance

And gonna help ourself

to the sound

Sipping my wine

At the closing stage

Golf wing polos

Are the latest craze

I could never understand

Never understand

what went wrong

You know I hate to say

But I'm

never gonna get that far

I've been going nowhere

100 miles an hour

I've been going nowhere

Round and round and round

I've been saving myself

For a high-speed

Saturday night

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Wendy!

Whoo!

- Hi!

- Hello.

Nice BMW.

Check this sh*t out.

Hi.

Where'd you get

your purse? Target?

Hello.

- Don't do it.

- You can buy 'em. I made mine.

- Hey, wo-man.

- Hey, sweetheart.

Hey.

Seriously, guys, see her tan?

- Yeah.

- Yes.

- That's okay.

- I know.

We have all day.

- Are you serious?

- Eww!

- Yikes.

- What?

You should burn that hat.

- Yeah.

- Wait. No, you can't.

- You can't burn it.

- It's plastic. Toxic fumes.

Well, he could burn

a little bit of it.

- Yeah, why not?

- Symbolically.

Come on. Do it.

- Burn it a little bit.

- Burn it?

Lt'll be good for you.

- Take the lighter.

- "Burn me!"

All right. All right.

"I don't like von Dutch.

Burn me."

- Come on, dude.

- Do it.

Ooh, God, it smells really bad.

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

- Whoo-whoo!

- There it goes!

Sorry about that.

What?

I like your necklace.

"I like your necklace."

B*tch.

Okay, I think we've successfully

oriented ourselves.

- Yep.

- Shall we?

Ann, let go.

Are you leaving?

Uh, no,

I got to wait for my brother.

- Ooh, wrong way.

- Bye.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Bye! Bye.

All right, so what?

I'll just, uh,

call you later?

Call me later.

- Ahh!

- Ahh!

Kiss her, yeah!

What the f***, man?

Seriously.

When did being a lesbian become

cooler than blowing a rock star?

You've never blown

a rock star.

Neither have you.

- So?

- So?

What if you could

blow a rock star?

Ruin what we have? Mmm...

That's my girl!

Ow! Yes.

- See ya.

- Wait. Wait.

Had to cut our string.

- Bye.

- See you later.

You're not blowin' up

the school, are you?

Did you follow me here?

I'm just trying to get

the lay of the land, so...

The lay of the land, huh?

Yeah.

I'm new,

so I figured I could,

I don't know, memorize

where everything was.

Not much to memorize.

So please tell me you're

not blowing anything up.

Get the lights for me?

Okay, I read about this,

and I really wanted to try it.

Apparently,

the electrons get excited.

I think it's so cool how they

have human names, you know,

like, "Excited,"

"Aggressive," "Lazy."

Ooh, some of them can

even be "lmpure."

Hmm?

Let's see.

That is pretty cool.

But couldn't you

just try this during class?

Nah. I hate chemistry.

- Your secret's safe with me.

- Hmm! Who would you tell?

Right. Uh, well,

my mom's a chemist,

so I'd never make fun of you

for liking this stuff.

Wendy!

- Come on!

- My brother Nathan.

Can we go home

already... please?

You coming?

Uh... hey, I'm Sean.

Hi.

These are the classrooms.

Have you read The Watchmen?

I have all of them, if you want

to, uh, come over, hang out.

- Yeah. Yeah, I'll read 'em.

- This is the library...

Or you could come

over tomorrow if you want.

And this is

the meeting area...

where people

like to get together

and talk about

the lack of respect

in the public bathrooms.

- Mm.

- "Respect," Again...

the word that comes up

all the time.

So, tomorrow, come over,

read 'em...

- Tomorrow or the...

- Nathan!

Wendy.

This is me.

Ah, this is me.

Yeah, I know.

You know?

- How do you know me?

- I mean, I...

I saw you around, you know.

I didn't know who you were.

Well,

I'm gonna head inside.

You could come over,

you know?

Ask my mom about impure

electrodes or whatnot.

- No, I'm cool. See ya.

- Okay, fine.

Why'd you tell him

he could come over on Saturday?

Why not?

I like all the girls,

and all the girls like me

I like all the girls,

and all the girls like me

Everybody, come on

Ah, ah, ah

It's not a question

of confidence or retribution

I'd do anything

to find a solution

Change my name in 12 states

Just to escape

this prosecution

You know why?

I like all the girls,

and all the girls like me

I like all the girls

and all the girls like me

They tell me so

Ha! They tell me so

Oh

That's how I know, oh

Yeah,

that's how I K-N-O-W

He's here.

Hey.

maybe you'd wanna read 'em.

Ahem. Yeah.

That's... that's cool, thanks.

- Yeah.

- Come on.

So, uh, well, thanks

for invitin' me over.

Oh, we're neighbours.

Yeah, so...

- Holy sh*t.

- Hmm?

My mom can

barely make pop tarts.

Actually, um, I made 'em,

so... I made everything.

Did you make this for me?

Yeah, I did.

I mean, I don't really get

a lot of guys over, so...

No. No, I mean, people.

- I don't get a lot...

- No, no, no. That's...

I don't get

a lot of people over.

- I don't... over.

- Oh, yeah, yeah. No.

Look... That... That's okay.

I didn't mean... It's just...

I didn't mean

anything by that.

Because I just like to cook.

That... That's the thing.

I like to cook.

Okay.

It's... I didn't, like,

plan everything.

That would be weird. I've...

I'm not gonna

eat that one, um...

No. I'll...

I'll put that one back.

- Okay.

- I just... No, really.

I mean, like, this

isn't a trap or anything.

I didn't think it was...

I didn't think it was a trap.

Well, good, because if you just

wanna try these.

I mean, these are

really easy to make.

That's actually...

Um, I don't really...

So you can try these.

Oh, sh...!

Dude.

- Um...

- Mm-mm.

Uh...

- Yeah.

- Um...

I'm gonna... I'll clean up.

- I'll help you clean up.

- Good, I'm... No, that's fine.

I'm just gonna

go wash my hands.

Yeah, yeah. I'm gonna... Why don't

I clean up for you?

- Yeah, okay.

- Just, uh...

Oh, God.

Hey, have you seen

that kid, Sean, at school?

Barely.

He's so transparent,

see-through.

He's from Chicago.

So did he transfer

as a senior?

I guess.

Lots of people transfer.

Yeah, in third grade,

people transferred.

People in our class

have been there forever.

Dude, whatever. He's boring.

Pasty and colourless.

Looks like a pigeon

shat on his head.

Yeah.

He's actually really nice.
