Senior Project Page #3

---

Spencer:
come on.

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

So, can give me,

like, an e.t.a.

Or, like, a rough --

spencer:

what do you want, andy?

Andy:
so, man, what's your topic

for senior project, huh?

Spencer:

I still haven't decided.

-stop.

-andy:
sorry.

Spencer:

I still haven't decided.

Andy:
so, like, are you jealous

of natalia and peter?

-spencer:
seriously?

-andy:
whoa. we're sitting up?

Spencer:
what do

either of those questions

-even have to do with you, man?

-andy:
yo, man, listen.

Everyone's been acting so weird

since he got here.

Spencer:
listen, dude,

the girls are just bored,

that's it.

Andy:
[ chuckles ]

yeah. I mean, yeah,

I guess you're right.

Spencer:

okay, now, you ready?

[ inhales deeply ]

take a deep breath in.

[ exhales sharply ]

let it out.

Andy:
[ exhaling ]

spencer:
and slowly lie back

with your palms facing up, okay?

Andy:
palms.

[ bell rings ]

ms. ghetty:
all right,

let's all break up

into small groups

and start declaring topics.

Natalia:

peter, can I join your group?

Sam:

um, actually, we work better

if we're just keeping

the group small.

Natalia:
one more person doesn't

make it that much bigger.

Sam:
it really does, actually.

[ chuckles ]

natalia:
ahem.

-ms. ghetty:
yes, natalia.

-natalia:
I don't have a group.

Ms. ghetty:

uh, why don't you

join mr. hammerstein's

group, then?

[ door opens ]

oh, spencer, perfect.

Take a seat.

Spencer:

if the universe wills it.

Ms. ghetty:
who's first?

Sam:
um, well,

I will be doing a fashion show

that features eco-friendly,

affordable clothing

for the high school student.

Jill:

[ clears throat ] natalia,

you forgot to include me

in your group like we discussed.

Natalia:

yeah, jill, about that.

Peter here

is my new fashion assistant,

so you're no longer necessary.

Thank you.

Andy:
damn,

another one bites the dust.

Ms. ghetty:

okay, who's next?

Natalia:
I'll go.

I'll be doing

a fashion show, as well,

but I'm going to be doing

real fashion, high fashion,

not weirdo fashion.

Sam:
wow, you really are

a demon from hell.

You just flat-out stole my idea.

Natalia:
um, excuse you?

You didn't invent fashion shows.

You're just afraid

of my impeccable taste.

Peter:

are they going to fight?

Spencer:
yeah. fashion

brings out the worst in them.

Sam:
I'm afraid of the holes

that you're gonna have to cut

in the back of the clothing

to make room

for all your demon b*tch wings

to just pop out.

Ms. ghetty:
um, samantha,

you can watch your language,

and you can both

do fashion shows.

You just have to communicate

your ideas clearly.

Who's next? Spencer.

Spencer:
well, uh,

I am gonna make a cookbook

for my ovo-lacto

vegetarian recipes.

Peter:

is that a "star trek" thing?

Andy:
no, man.

It means he doesn't eat meat,

but he still eats

animal products

like, you know,

honey, eggs, milk.

Spencer:
it's simple, peter --

nothing with a face.

Ms. ghetty:

that sounds delightful.

All right, andy, what's yours?

Andy:
uh, oh. I am doing

a documentary about my friends.

Ms. ghetty:

who are your friends?

-peter:
we're his friends.

-andy:
yeah, they're my friends.

Yeah, um [clears throat]

i-it's gonna be a reflection

of high school before,

you know, reality hits.

Ms. ghetty:

good luck with that.

[ camcorder beeps ]

and mr. hammerstein.

Peter:
hammer.

Ms. ghetty:

well, what is your topic?

Peter:

I didn't, uh, think of anything.

Ms. ghetty:

you mean you don't have one

after I specifically told you

you needed one by today?

Peter:
um...

Yeah, i-i have one

here somewhere.

Ms. ghetty:

oh, did you take these?

Peter:
yes.

Ms. ghetty:

they're really, really good.

You know,

I dabbled in photography myself.

You better do an incredible job.

Don't disappoint me.

All right, everybody.

No, you cannot do...

Peter:
I don't know

anything about photography.

Andy:
bro, don't worry.

There's great iphone apps

for that. you're good.

-peter:
I don't have an iphone.

-you still got apps.

Ms. ghetty:

remember, the senior project

is worth

two-thirds of your grade,

so if you don't pass,

you don't graduate.

Have a nice day.

Peter:
uh, sam.

Look, uh, I may need you

to write me a poem

that you can actually read

at my funeral.

Sam:
what, do you have,

like, a fatal illness

like one of those

lifetime movies?

Peter:
uh, yes, I do.

The, uh, pressure

of the senior project

has caused a fatal ulcer.

I may not make it to graduation.

Sam:
hm. lucky you.

Peter:
oh, come on.

I was kidding.

Look, I'm sorry I hung out

with her, okay?

She did something nice.

I felt like I had to be nice

back to her.

Sam:

yeah, I guess you're right.

I'd much rather you not

cross over into b*tch mode.

Peter:
okay.

Look, since we're

already walking,

do you want to come over?

Somebody followed me home

the other day.

It was kind of scary.

Sam:
wait, someone followed you

in this neighborhood?

Peter:
yeah. he's probably

at my fridge right now.

Andy:
mm.

[ smacks lips ]

mm.

Sam:
breaking and entering

for haagen-dazs.

That's just sad, andy.

Andy:

yeah, but you haven't tried

this new flavor

of lynch's lobster.

Sam:
you know what, though?

I can't really blame him.

This place

is kind of incredible.

Andy:
you know,

peter doesn't really live --

that, um...

Peter doesn't really live

that extravagantly.

It's -- it's normally

his father.

[ laughs ]

yeah, so, um...

Hey, you guys want to go do some

work or something like that?

Peter:
[ sighs ]

do you think ms. ghetty

really wants us all to fail?

Sam:

of course she does.

She's a pathetic troll

who hates everybody.

This one time,

I saw her spill her frappuccino

all over

my college portfolio sketches.

She didn't even say sorry.

She'd do anything to be sure

that I don't go

to fashion school.

You're gonna strike that

from the record, right, andy?

Andy:
oh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Strike -- strike that.

Peter:
I have to graduate.

I don't know anything

about photography.

Sam:
okay, well,

let's figure this out.

There has to be

something interesting

that you can photograph.

Peter:
buildings.

Oceans.

Andy:
how about...

You photograph your bugs?

[ insects chirping ]

peter:

see? I-it's weird.

You guys saw them.

Let's go back downstairs.

Sam:

no, really, tell me.

Why do you collect bugs?

Peter:
okay.

Um...

These aren't just any bugs.

[ sighs ]

they're masters of camouflage.

They can fit in anywhere

and disappear when they want to.

Sam:
[ chuckles ]

well, I'm not gonna lie.

It's kind of gross.

But, uh, I don't know.

It's actually kind of cool.

Andy:
um...i think you

just found your senior project.

[ chuckles ]

spencer:
yo, this documentary's

for a senior project, right?

Andy:
uh [chuckles] yeah.

Ms. ghetty said it was cool.

Spencer:
ms. ghetty --

I swear to god,

she'll do anything

to get in my pants.

Andy:
[ laughing ]

shut up, man.

Spencer:
dude,

you don't even realize, bro.

Like, I swear to god,
