(SIGHING)

Peyton.

Peyton, I don't want to be a crummy uncle,

I want to be a great uncle.

I could be a great uncle,

if I could just find you.

(PEYTON LAUGHING)

Gosh, I wonder where Peyton is.

You found me.

I sure did.

(LAUGHING)

There you are.

You like that?

Pretty tasty.

It's almost 9:
00.

Time to call Mandy.

(SOME PLACE TO FALL PLAYING)

Some place to fall

No pain at all

I know I'm home when I'm next to you

DREW:
I can't believe I've been out of

your orbit for four years.

MANDY:
Yeah, well, I haven't exactly been

what you call a rising star.

You are tonight.

You're the most beautiful girl here.

Drew, I don't have to be

the most beautiful.

I'd just like to be somebody to you.

You are.

Do you wanna go somewhere

we can be alone?

Just the two of us?

(YOUR RIDE PLAYING)

Um...

I'm expecting a call.

Okay, I'll meet you up there.

Your dad's gonna call, like, in a minute.

We have to punk him one more time.

No.

No, it's time to take a stand.

I'm gonna tell him that I'm gonna do

what I want, when I want.

I mean, how could I even trust myself

if he can't trust me?

(DIALING)

What in God's name are you doing?

Sexual tension.

It's just too much for her, she's snapped.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Hello.

Daddy. Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

Yeah, I'm just whispering because

I finally got Peyton to go to sleep.

Hey, Mandy, listen.

When I raised you,

I did an okay job, right?

I mean, on a scale of one to 10,

I was probably an eight.

I mean, I was at least an eight, right?

I mean, it wouldn't be a five.

Dad, you're a 10.

Really?

Cross my heart.

Why didn't you call me?

Well, because

I trust you.

Yeah.

Oh.

Okay.

Well, I guess I'll go.

-Dad?

-Yeah?

Thanks for not calling.

Okay.

Hey.

Hey.

Every time I see you, I like you even more.

Thanks.

So, this is the tower.

Yeah.

MANDY:
Wow.

That's cool.

That's a good one.

That's...

My favorite.

(KIMBERLY AND BLAIR CHANTING)

-Drew, you are one of us.

-Drew, you are one of us.

-Drew, you are one of us.

-Drew, you are one of us.

LISA:
She took you away.

-Drew, you are one of us.

-Drew, you are one of us.

-Drew, you are one of us.

-Drew, you are one of us.

LISA:
Come back to us.

What is she doing?

She's using Marilyn Manson's blood

to put a curse on Mandy.

I told you, she is a real witch.

It's payback time.

Come back.

Come back to us.

-Drew, you are one of us.

-Drew, you are one of us.

-Drew, you are one of us.

-Drew, you are one of us.

-Drew, you are one of us.

-Drew, you are one of us.

LISA:
Come to me, Drew.

Come back.

She stole you away from me.

-Drew, you are one of us.

-Drew, you are one of us.

LISA:
Leave her.

Come back to me, Drew.

She is bad.

Come back to me.

-Drew, you are one of us.

-Drew, you are one of us.

-Drew, you are one of us.

-Drew, you are one of us.

-Drew, you are one of us.

-Drew, you are one of us.

(GULPING)

-Drew, you are one of us.

-Drew, you are one of us.

LISA:
I don't feel so good.

(LISA COUGHING)

(LAUGHING)

I can feel your heart beating.

So can I.

Drew.

You're the most handsome,

coolest guy I've ever met.

I've dreamt about this

a thousand times but...

My hands are sweating.

Would you excuse me?

''My palms are sweating''? Come on, Drew.

God. Okay, water, water.

(WATER RUNNING)

(EXCLAIMS)

(FRAGILE TOUGH GIRL PLAYING)

But now I hurt so bad

You think you have friends

that you

Don't really have

I can take a slap

like the best of them

But when it hurts

too much to feel

Oh, I just dress

my heart up

In these bandages of steel

Oh

I'm a fragile tough girl

Mandy?

(ALL LAUGHING)

BOY 1 :
Awesome spew.

BOY 2:
Lisa Cross, the vomit queen.

How you feeling?

That was so incredibly mean

and sneaky and underhanded.

I know, and I feel just wonderful.

-Wonderful.

-Did you see her face?

They're ridiculous.

How'd it go?

Let's just get out of here.

(DOOR CLOSING)

I know you're waiting up.

Ready to pounce.

Yeah, you're right, I couldn't sleep.

But I want you to know

that I don't wanna know.

You don't wanna know what?

It's none of my business.

I mean, I feel bad

that I tried to make it my business.

Remember when you said

that I was a good dad and that I was a 10?

Yeah.

Well, I finally listened

and I just sort of realized

at some point tonight,

I did the best I could.

And then everything felt like

it was gonna be okay.

And then,

well,

I have something to show you.

Step into my office.

I made a few changes.

Now, it's modular.

No longer attached.

Detachable.

Dad,

I don't want to be detachable.

It's just that I'm so sorry

about being paranoid and overbearing

and ridiculous and...

Keep going, you're on a roll.

Control freak.

Very good.

Thanks.

You know how you always say

I never listen to you?

-Well...

-Well, at this one particular moment...

Kind of a critical mass kind of thing,

when I wasn't sure, you know, what to do,

I just listened to my heart.

I was listening to you.

Sweetie.

Get some sleep.

So you could've had this boy,

this Drew Patterson.

This every-girl's-fantasy.

And turning him down means...

Social suicide.

I'm sorry.

Dad,

it was my choice.

You let me make it.

Thanks.

(SIGHS)

MANDY:
Once again, I had to walk as a

ghost on the grounds of high school.

For I, a humble peasant girl,

had done the unthinkable.

I had spurned the crown prince

of Camelot.

The repercussions of which

would no doubt haunt me

for weeks to come.

All right, all right, listen up.

This is the moment

we've all been waiting for.

Senior prince, Drew Patterson,

will now crown his princess.

Drew.

Come on, man, what's up?

If you do this, you're no longer one of us.

Come.

-Oh, no.

-Oh, yes.

Come with me, please.

(ALEXA AND CAYENNE GIGGLING)

Why are you doing this?

With all these people around,

I figured you might not say no to me.

And I could do this.

And this.
