Quintuplets.
Pretty Cool, Huh?
In A Word...
That's A Lot Of Babies.
The Grover Family?
Wow.
I'm Jamie Grover,
Part Of The Grover Family.
What A Weird Coincidence.
Ok, So It's Not A Coincidence.
You See, This Is My Story.
And, Yeah,
It's One Of Those
Girl Finds Herself
Even Though She Didn't Know
She Was Lost Stories.
But I Promise You,
It's Not Gonna Be Lame,
And It's Not
Gonna Be Boring. Ok?
Oh, And For The Record,
I'm Not One Of The Quints.
And To Really Understand
My Story,
We Need To Go Back
To Last January,
Before My Brothers
And Sisters Arrived.
Sound Good?
Great.
You Know, We're Gonna
Get Along Just Fine.
Jamie:
That's My Dad,Jim Grover.
And No, He's Not Doing
My Homework.
He's Doing His Own.
Dad's Taking Classes.
To One More Promotion,
At Least In Dad's
Big Plan.
See, Dad Believes You Should
Always Try To Improve Yourself,
Never Rest
On What You've Got.
Unfortunately...
He's A Lousy Student.
Still, A Plan Is A Plan,
And Yes, Dad Always
Has A Plan.
Oh, And That's Mom,
Nancy Grover.
She Publishes
A Little Town Paper,
And, Well, There's No Nice
Way To Say This,
But She's A Tiny Bit
Scatterbrained.
But Still, We're Used To It.
Morning.
Mom AND DAD:
Morning.
Ah, We Meet Again.
Oh, Did You See
The Fridge, By The Way?
Shrine To Me.
Anyway, I Remember This Day.
And You Don't Need To See
What Happened Next
To Understand My Story,
So Let's Just Move On, Ok?
Now, Please. Now.
Fine. Let's Just
Show You Where I Live.
That's More Like It.
This Is My House.
And It Looks Like 90%
Of The Houses Here In Milford.
Oh, And For Those Of You
Who Aren't So Quick,
Milford Is My Home Town.
So Let's Take A Peek At It,
Shall We?
Here We Go.
That's Downtown.
You Got Your Bank,
Grocery Store,
A Couple Of Restaurants,
And The Ice-Cream Parlor.
But The One Thing
Is Just A Block
To The East.
Ok, So That's
Not Really There.
Just Making Sure
You're With Me.
Next Stop...
Yep. School.
But Don't Worry.
This Isn't One
See? High School Is Great.
Now Come On Inside
With Me And My Best
Friends Zoe And Brad.
[School Bell Rings]
Come On!
The Same As Most Schools.
Every Day Is Like
Going To The Circus.
Oh, There Goes
My Math Teacher.
I'm Telling You,
Ok.
I Lied.
Hey, I Can Dream,
Can't I?
Anyway...The Truth Is,
My School's
Like Any Other School.
There Are No Circus Clowns
Or Acrobats Or--
Ooh, Hi, Jessica--
Or No--Ah, Eech--
Fire-Breathers.
Well, Unless You Count
The Gym Teacher, Mr. Brooks,
But That's
A Different Story.
Anyway, The Point Is,
I Have To Show You My School
Because I Have To Show You
Who I Was Back Then. Ok?
Here We Go.
[School Bell Rings]
All:
We Want As!Ha Ha. Not Bad.
One B-Plus
And 2 A-Minuses.
I Hate You.
Maybe You Should Take
My Card, Jamie.
It's All As.
That's Sweet,
But I Don't Believe
You'd Fool Her Parents.
You Know The Name Thing,
Male Versus Female?
Not Gonna Work.
Good Point.
Hey, Mr. Blackmer, Ready
For Art Club Tomorrow?
Indeed. And I Have Been
Supremely Busy
Whipping Up A 4-Course
Italian Meal
To Go With The Slides
I'll Be Showing
Of The Italian Masters'
Paintings.
Say, Why Don't
You Two Join Us?
Ahh. No Can Do.
I Gotta Work On
My Science Fair Project.
Huh?
Look, Everyone Has
Something That They
Love, Right?
And Science
Is Your Thing.
Anyway, Best Of Luck,
Jamie, Brad.
Oh, And, Zoe,
I Will See You
Tomorrow, Huh?
Come Hungry.
Don't Be A Dragola,
Jamie.
Science
Isn't Your Thing!
Come To Art Club!
Like I Have Time, Z.
We Grovers Have Turned
This Into Contest Year.
Contests Are My Thing.
Anyway,
It's Off To The Man
With The Plan.
Let Me Tell You
Something.
This Card--Eech--
Is Not Part
Of The Plan.
See You Later.
Both:
See You.The Plan,
In Case You Were Wondering,
Was For Me, Jamie Grover,
To Attend G.W. Next Fall.
G.W...Also Known
As George Washington
Science Magnet School.
Starting To See
The Picture?
I Felt Pressure
From My Folks,
Pressure From Myself,
Even Pressure
From The Dog.
Ok, We Don't Have A Dog,
But I Think You Get The Point.
The Bottom Line--
I'm An Only Child Who Hates
To Let Her Parents Down,
And That's Exactly
What I Was Doing.
[Sighs]
Oh, Hey, Dad.
Oh, Hey, Honey.
Ah...
Ok, My Beauty,
Here We Go.
Well...Ha.
The Important Thing
Is That You're Trying.
Yeah.
Come Into My Office
A Sec.
Ok.
I Like What You've
Done With The Place.
Yes, Thank You.
I Like To Call
This Style
Everything But
The Kitchen Sink.
Kitchen Sinks
Are In Aisle 12.
Aw, Honey, Once
I Get My Degree,
I'm Gonna Have
A Much Better Office.
Don't Worry.
I'm Gonna Get
Into College.
Yes, I Know.
Yes, You Are.
You're Gonna Be
The First Grover
To Do So.
But, You Know,
You Gotta Start
With These Baby Steps.
90% Of The Kids
Who Go To George
Washington Science
Magnet Go On To College!
It's A Lot More
Than At Your School.
I'm Working On It.
I Know The Plan.
Ok, Ok. I Know
You Know The Plan.
You're Very Smart.
Back In Those Days,
This Was My Life.
Only Child.
Do What The Folks Ask.
Was A Whole Different
Experience Than Seeing Dad.
Better Or Worse...
You Be The Judge.
Oh! Oh,
But Mr. Ziff,
You've Just Got
To Meet With Her.
She's Industrious,
Clever, And Very Bright.
Trying To Get You
An Internship.
Oh! Ok!
Well, Please
Think About It.
And Thank You
For The Interview.
You'll Be The Cover Story
Of The Next Milford Weekly.
So I Guess You're
Feeling Better.
I'm Feeling Great.
And I Almost Got You
A Meeting
With Mr. Raymond Ziff,
The Owner Of The Ziff
Chain Of Department Stores
And A Very Prominent Lawyer.
Oh, Yeah, That's What
I'm Gonna Be--
A Lawyer
And A Department Store
Owner.
Don't Sell Yourself Short,
Jamie.
You Can Be Anything.
If My Parents
Had Told Me That,
Who Knows?
I Might Be Running
The New York Times Now
Instead Of The Milford Weekly.
I Know You're Gonna
Get Into Magnet Somehow.
Did You Bring Me The Poem
Oh, No, Not That.
Yes. I Want To Publish It.
Right...
Right...
Jamie:
Mom TreatedThe Milford Weekly
Like One Of Those Family
Christmas Letters
Their Kids And Stuff.
Grover's Corner.
The Only Difference Is,
Mom Got People
To Pay For The Ads.
Everyone Loves To Read
Your Stuff, Jamie.
They Know
How Special You Are.
People Ask Me All The Time,
"Is She Gonna Be A Lawyer,
A Doctor,
Or Even A News Anchor?"
Maybe We're Not Doing
Enough To Help You.
We Want To Give You
Every Opportunity
To Succeed, Honey.
College And Beyond--
What A Great
Future You Have
Ahead Of You.
And We Can't Wait
To Watch.
Mm-Hmm!
Aah!
[Sighs] You Can
Quote Me, Brad.
Anyway, I Hope
You're Having Fun
Doing Whatever You're Doing.
I'm Here...Working.
