and destroyed my f***ing concentration.

Because of you...

I lost the match.

We lost the Meet to Arizona State.

Lost our number one ranking.

And I lost the respect of my team.

I'm sorry.

Oh, you're sorry?

You're f***ing... sorry?

Goddamit!

Alright...

you better f***ing make me understand

why it was so important for you...

to walk out in the middle of

my f***ing point.

It was about you, Kent.

There I was, up in the stands...

and I realized that we're going

in different directions.

Good God, Carolyn!

What's happened to you?

I don't know.

You don't know?

That's no answer.

Ever since you started working with that...

f***ing retard.

F***ing retard! Retard, duh...

You're in love with him, aren't you Carolyn?

No.

Admit it, you're in love with him.

No. That's not why I'm here.

I can see you wheeling him down the aisle.

That's what it is, you're in love with him.

- No.

- Yes.

- Yes, you are.

- No.

No, no, no.

Yes, yes, yes.

Yes!

Yes. It's true.

It's not a fantasy.

He understands me.

I'm in love with him.

You are?

That's impossble.

I'm leaving you, Kent.

Carolyn!

Can I come in?

Hold me, Pumpkin.

- Hello.

- Hi, Betsy Collander, here.

Oh, I didn't wake you, did I?

No, no...

I've been up for hours, working.

Listen I've arranged for Pumpkin to star

in our public service announcement...

for this year's Challenged Games.

Betsy !

Claudia has forced Hansie on us every year.

But this year the director says

he refuses to work with him.

He says Hansie's too difficult.

Oh, what a coup!

Thank you, Betsy, thank you.

Pumpkin, I've great news for us!

You've raped my son!

Whore! Slut!

You prostitute!

Pedophile!

Pumpkin'll never understand what

you've done to him!

I'm gonna call your sorority...

the dean and the president of the university!

And your parents!

You'll never see Pumpkin again!

My poor dear!

Did they throw you out?

There there, darling. I understand.

You couldn't face them.

Did he rape you?

It was consensual.

It's just a phase, darling.

Just a horrible phase.

Let's get you inside where

no one can see you.

Father?

- Hello.

- Mrs. Romanoff?

- Yes ?

- This is Carolyn McDuffy.

I need to speak to Pumpkin.

Mrs. Romanoff, please.

We feel for you, man.

I mean I've heard about guys

losing their chicks to...

black guys...

or even to lesbians.

But to a retard?

Your manhood must really hurt.

Hey, man, no offence intended.

The chicks still love you, Kent.

You could have any one.

Ball!

Game, set and match.

Kent Woodlands, SCSU.

Kent ?! ... Kent Woodlands?!

I'm a free man.

Oh my God!

That was amazing!

How could Carolyn even think about... ?

I mean...

that little retarded boy must be

like some kind of superman.

I want Carolyn.

Kent Woodlands...

how could you want Carolyn

after what she did to us?

She has made us pariahs on Sorority Row.

She has not only disgraced this house...

made us ashamed to show our faces...

she has jeopardized our chances

of winning "Sorority of the Year".

We need you at our Formal Dance

to have any chance at SOY.

The Greek Council adores you, Kent.

If you don't look down on us...

no one else will.

Please...

let me fix you up with

one of the girls.

Courtney, Gina...

even Anne Chung.

I want Carolyn.

She is the only one.

Carolyn?

Sweety?

Carolyn, are you alright?

Sorry to bother you, sweety, but

you have some guests arriving soon.

What? Who?

It's nothing to worry about dear.

Some really nice people are coming over.

Mama!

There, there, Carolyn.

I didn't mean for any of this to happen.

He's just so sweet.

So pure.

He understands what's good in me.

No one else does.

And, mama, when he touches me...

he's so gentle...

so tender.

There, there, Carolyn.

In time this will heal.

We just have to forget this ever happened.

I know.

Mom, I know.

Don't be afraid, dear.

We were wrong to turn our backs on you.

That is not what A-O-Pi is all about.

Carolyn, can you hear me?

Carolyn?

Mr. Wohlfert...

has gotten the university to promise

there will be no repercussions from the...

the... what you did.

Carolyn, there'll be no

repercussions from the, ah...

the... what you did.

Carolyn, this is Jeanine, your roomie.

I think what the girls are trying to say

is that you can trust us.

No one's perfect. You know that. I know that.

We're here for you now.

Why are you all smiling?

Kent, talk to her.

I want you back...

in the worst way, Carolyn.

I want you to come back to school.

And move back in with the sorority.

Be my girl again and...

And go to our Formal with your

own Kent Woodlands.

You and Kent are still slated

to be King and Queen...

and to dance the first dance.

You have always been A-O-Pi's

best sister.

Please say you'll come back to the

house and go to the dance with Kent.

Please ?

It's such a long commute from

Pasadena to SCSU, Carolyn.

I love you, Carolyn.

Now, let's pack your things

and move you back.

What do you say, Carolyn?

You're the Queen, Carolyn.

And you're goint to have a

wonderful time at the dance with Kent.

Just to let you know, it cost me

$1,400 to fix the car...

on top of all this.

I'm not retarded.

OK, you're not retarded.

That's a bad word.

You're just... special.

But I can assure you, we had you tested.

Extensively, tested.

I'm not special...

and I'm not retarded.

Darling.

Now, you come on down and get some sleep.

Come on down,

give your mama a kiss, come on.

Oh, hell, Pumpkin, I wish you could drive...

go to Harvard...

go out with that b*tch, Carolyn...

but it's just not in the cards.

This is the best Formal the Greek Council

has been to, for years.

Did you see how many of those

giant prawns they ate?

Any minute, now, Carolyn and Kent

will make an appearance...

the dance can begin...

and we're back on the road to SOY.

Thank God you got them back together, Julie.

Carolyn, are you alright?

I'm fine, Kent. I'm fine.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Ready ?

Ladies ad gentlemen,

the King and Queen of the Formal...

from Kappa Lambda Sigma...

Mr. Kent Archibald Woodlands...

and from the A-O-Pi house,

Miss Carolyn McDuffy.

The first dance.

There is something wrong,

isn't there, Carolyn?

It's just... I threw something

in the wastebasket, I shouldn't have.

Kent, I'm sorry.

This isn't working, you and I.

Why, Carolyn?

Why ?

Because of him.

My God!

We took a c-cab, Carolyn.

It w-was easy.

I came to dance with you.

Goddamn, f***ing, dimwitted...

retard!

I am going to obliterate you.

No, Kent, he can't defend himself!

You can't do that Kent. He doesn't understand.

If he's man enough to take my girl,

then he's man enough to fight me!

C'mon, boy, let's do it!

Outside.

Stop!

Kent!

Stop!

Get off me!

I didn't mean to hurt him.

It must have been all the training.

I think they want us to leave, Carolyn.

He's right.

You two better go, Carolyn,

you've caused enough damage already.

No.

I'm a sister of A-O-Pi.

And Pumpkin Romanoff is my guest.
