Raquel?

Yeah, she's f***ing gorgeous.

She's pretty.

You think?

She's not ugly.

Don't blame yourself.

Okay.

All right.

I'll see you next week.

I don't think she's so pretty.

April, she's pretty.

So, you three upset, too?

Obviously.

Yeah, we're not crying

but we're upset.

It's just a game.

We played very well.

We kind of sucked.

Um, no, you sucked.

Thank you, Mr. B.

(LAUGHS)

Anyone need a ride?

SHAUNA:
No, my mom's

going to come get us.

CHRISSY:
I'm with her.

Sure.

MR. B:
Okay, let's go.

I'll see you guys later.

CHRISSY:
Bye, April.

Night.

Night.

BOTH:
Bye.

Where's Michael?

Oh, he's at his moms.

Oh.

Want some water or something?

Um, no, that's okay.

(GLASS CLANKING)

(CLEARS THROAT)

It's nice to have you back here.

(WATER RUNNING)

Don't worry about the game.

I know it's not Thursday.

I always get the days wrong.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

(JANE TALKING IN DISTANCE)

(INHALES DEEPLY)

(JANE LAUGHING)

You so crazy.

You're so crazy.

Hi, sweetie.

Hi, Mom.

Hold on, Jamal,

I'm gonna call you.

Do you want some breakfast?

Um, that's okay.

I'm gonna call you back, okay?

Let me call you right back.

I can make you eggs and bacon.

Okay, sure.

That sounds good.

How 'bout some orange juice?

You want some orange juice?

I just love you, you're such a good girl.

(CHUCKLES)

I love you, too. Aw.

You mean so much to me.

GAME ANNOUNCER:

Test your might!

(VIDEO GAME MUSIC PLAYING)

Fight.

You're not allowed to do that.

Are you going to tell on me?

Can I play?

Sure. I don't care.

All right, what do I do?

You have to pick

a character first.

I wanna be the girl character.

The girl character?

She sucks.

Trust me.

I've played her.

All right, well, I still

wanna be her, so...

Suit yourself.

GAME ANNOUNCER:
Fight!

Hey, how do I fight?

You press the buttons.

Oh, come on, which ones?

(MICHAEL EXCLAIMS) Which color?

Hey.

Yes!

Two cookies please!

What?

I get two cookies because I won.

(CHUCKLES) Says who?

Raquel.

Raquel?

Raquel's my other babysitter.

She lets me have

two cookies when I win.

Hmm.

Well, okay.

I want one Oreo

and one chocolate chip.

Here you go.

Have 'em all.

(CELL PHONE VIBRATING)

Hello.

MR. B:
April.

Who's this?

Look, what happened between me and

Raquel... It's nothing, okay?

Can I just explain

what happened?

What?

You broke up with me. And we weren't

talking to each other. Can I see you?

No. No, I'm not coming

over there anymore.

April, I love you.

Please.

(INDISTINCT TALKING)

FRED:

Dude, isn't this a...

IVAN:
Oh, gee, you're acting like

we're in a recession. Give me.

I wanna show you

how to do this sh*t.

I ought to...

Chef Ivan at your service.

Emily.

Hey, Emily.

Emily, hi, hi.

Hi.

Hi. (CHUCKLES)

You look, um...

You look really beautiful.

You look, uh...

Yeah, your whole,

um, dress.

You look really...

You look really great.

Thanks.

All right, sorry.

Hey, I have this idea, um...

Uh, I saw this pool.

And I was wondering

maybe you want to like

go swimming.

Swimming?

Yeah.

We could go swimming

We could go swimming

Okay, fine.

Fine.

Really?

Mmm-hmm.

Okay. Okay, all right.

Okay.

(LOUD MUSIC PLAYING)

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, where's the light?

The light?

Need a lighter?

Yeah.

Here you go.

IVAN:
Found it.

Jump. Jump to me.

Jump to me. Wait.

Jump... Whoa!

Let's go.

Are you ready to

see me get naked?

What are you doing?

I'm jumping in the pool.

Aren't you getting in?

No, it's cold.

Come on.

This is called night swimming.

Ready, one, two...

(SCREAMS)

They were just saying

that in college,

like girls have sex

all the time.

So maybe like when

you get to college,

you won't be a sweet

little virgin anymore.

Thank you.

(GIRLS CHUCKLE)

She's a virgin?

She's a virgin, you guys.

Isn't that so adorable, though?

Look at... She's so pretty.

We can do something about that.

No, April.

You scared her off.

They can help. Oh, honey.

I mean, are you

all virgins, too?

Hey.

Hey.

How's it goin'?

Good.

How are you?

You should, uh, flip one over

for good luck.

You know like when

you get a new pack,

you always flip one over

and save it for last

and then when you get

to it you make a wish.

Oh, cool, I've never

heard of that.

Like that?

Yeah.

Do you need a light?

Thanks.

Yeah.

That movie is pretty

stupid. (CHUCKLES)

Why?

I think all movies and TV shows

and video games these

days are just pointless.

Okay.

You're crazy.

No, I'm not.

Yeah, you are.

Why would you say that?

Because you just don't

care about anything.

I wish I didn't care

about anything.

But I do care. I care

about everything too much.

What do you mean?

It's whatever, Teddy.

I think you're the one

who doesn't care, not me.

What do you mean?

I care about you.

(SNICKERS)

What? You...

You never even hang out with me.

Yeah, I love you.

I love you.

APRIL:
Do you remember that

night at the graveyard?

When we went to that tree?

The one that

I carved a heart in?

Yeah.

That was fun.

That was fun.

I wish we could go

back to that night.

You know that me and Fred cut it down,

right?

What?

That's so sad.

(CHUCKLES) Yeah.

That tree was probably there

since the Civil War. (CHUCKLES)

And now it's gone.

It's kind of sad.

Come on, get in the pool.

No. Come on,

it feels great.

I'm shivering but not

because it's cold.

I'm shivering because

you're so beautiful.

Not gonna work this time.

Emily, just get in the f***in' pool.

No!

Get in the f***in' pool, Emily.

I'm not getting

in the f***ing pool.

Get in the pool!

I've been excited about this!

Just get in, okay?

Stop asking me. No!

Get in the pool, whore.

You can be a real c*nt,

you know that?

Just get in the f***ing pool,

okay?

You know what, Fred?

What?

I thought I loved you but you're a real...

What?

F***ing douchebag!

I'm a what? I'm a douche...

(SCREAMS)

(LAUGHING)

F***!

Got you!

Got you!

(LAUGHING) What the f***!

What? What? What?

You made me do all those things!

I hate you! Come on. Come on.

Come on.

You set me up!

Come on, kiss me, kiss me, kiss,

me, kiss me, kiss me. F*** you!

(IMITATING KISSING)

Sick and disgusting!

Are you gonna hit me with a bottle?

Don't!

You're gonna hit me with a bottle?

Don't!

You wouldn't do it, p*ssy.

P*ssy. Don't!

P*ssy, p*ssy, p*ssy.

Stop!

Stop! You're not gonna hit

me with a f***in' bottle.

(PANTING)

Ah. (PANTING)

(GROANS)

You b*tch.

What the f***!

I was just messing around.

F***!

Teddy?

BOY:
Let's go!

(YELLING)

BOY:
Hey what's going on?

Can we have some stogs?

Aren't you guys a little young

for drinking and smoking?

No, we like 'em.

What? No.

You guys look younger than me.

BOY:
How old are you?

BOY 2:
Where are you from?

APRIL:
Around here.

BOY:
I like your hair.

It's really pretty.

APRIL:
Thanks.

(CHUCKLES)

You want the last one?

They just took all my cigarettes.

Sucks.

I just bought this pack.

Well, at least now
