There are 2 different ways
of getting into a swimming pool.
The first way, you take your toe...
and you carefully test
the water's temperature.
And if that feels okay,
slowly get into the water,
letting your body
adjust to the cold.
Then there's the second way
of getting into a pool.
- Aah !
- You jump.
That's me, Mary Katherine Gallagher.
It's nice to meet you.
Okay. Now, they say that God
works in mysterious ways.
And in my case, very mysterious.
Anyway, this is my story,
and you should pay attention
'cause it's starting right now.
[ Coughing ]
- Are you all right ?
- Yeah, I'm fine. [ Coughing ]
Your birthmark looks like sh*t.
- So, you're okay?
- Yeah.
Lifeguard!
Aah !
I grew up in a little town
called Besamee Heights.
It's this really friendly place
where everyone likes to say "hi."
[Man]
Hi there.
[Mary] I grew up in what people
called the ugliest house...
with the ugliest lawn
and the ugliest dog.
[ Growls ]
[ Squealing ]
My mom and dad died in this horrible
accident when I was a baby,
so my grandmother took care of me.
And my grandmother
was in an accident too.
Actually, most of my family
had gotten hurt at some point.
- We're sort of accident-prone.
- [ Groans ]
I'm off.
Now, my grandmother used to
always say that when I grow up,
I should become a business woman.
But I didn't really
think about business,
mostly because I couldn't stop
thinking about the one thing...
that I wanted more
than anything in the world.
A kiss. A big Hollywood
fireworks type of kiss.
So each night before I went to bed,
I would pray for God to help me.
And please, God,
send me someone to make out with...
and tongue kiss like this.
[ Slurping ]
Then one day
while me and my grandmother...
were watching some old movie,
it hit me.
There was only one way
I'd ever get what I wanted.
I would have to become
exactly like those people l saw...
getting kissed in the movies.
- I would have to become--
- A superstar.
Ooh, ah.
[ "Ave Maria" ]
This is St. Monica's.
It was the first place
I really thought l had a chance...
[Reciting
The Lord's Prayer]
[ Whispering ]
Superstar !
- Amen.
- Shh.
-[Singing Continues]
- Sorry.
So I tried out for every star-making
activity that St. Monica's offered.
- Higher. Higher.
- Like ballet.
Ooh !
And my gymnastics tryout
didn 't go very well either.
- [Whistle Blows]
- [ Grunts ]
Whoa !
[Girls Laughing]
Evian Graham,
the most beautiful, most popular,
most bulimic girl
at St. Monica's.
Summer, Autumn,
I need your help.
- Yes, Evian ?
- Yes, Evian ?
We could either organize a walkathon
to fight multiple sclerosis...
or a bike-a-thon
to fight polio.
- What'll it be ? Hmm ?
- Hmm.
All the boys liked her.
I think because she had a nice body.
What are you looking at,
boobsweat ?
- Nothing.
- It's called a bra, Mary.
But don't worry.
You'll never need one.
Ow ! You hurt my titty.
I'm sorry. You had a little spot
there on your brassiere,
and I was just trying
to... wipe it off.
I'm sorry.
I got this after-schooljob
at Kip 's Video Warehouse...
as the rewind girl...
so that I could study
as many superstars as possible.
I thought
the more movies I watched,
the more they'd rub off on me,
and people said that they did.
Especially movies like Carrie,
starring Academy Award-winner
Sissy Spacek.
What are you doing ?
I'm using my telekinesis
to kill the girl...
at the prom.
Okay.
Kip also had those made-for-
television movies which I love.
Father, forgive me
for I have sinned.
It has been two days
since my last confession.
Go ahead.
Tell me your sins, my child.
Father, my sins
would best be expressed...
in a monologue from
the made-for-TV movie Sybil,
starring Sally Field as a woman
with multiple personality disorder.
- Go ahead.
- Ah, look at you.
sitting there with her face all
painted up and a little halter top.
You're nothing
but a little slut.
Don't call me that.
I'm a Puerto Rican lady, senor.
We all know you're a slut,
Sybil Anne Dorsett.
We know you're a little slut.
No, I'm not ! I'm not a slut !
I'm not a slut!
I'm not a slut!
I'm not a slut! I'm not a slut!
I ain 't no slut!
[ Crying ]
Sorry. Sorry.
[ Speaking, lndistinct ]
No big deal.
The more I kept trying
to become a superstar,
the less they thought I was one.
In fact, they had
Hey, lesbo.
- Dogface.
- Panty stain.
-And they also called me--
- Skid mark.
- Nipple hair.
- Lame.
- Loser.
- Did I say lesbo ?
Are you aware that I am rubber
and you are glue...
and everything that you say to me
bounces off of me and sticks to you?
So put that in your
back pocket. Okay.
And then l saw the one
who I wanted to kiss.
[Boy]
Sam, what's up? Hey, Greg.
- Dig the sneaks.
- Thanks.
Debbie, shaved your legs.
- Hey, Tom, sorry your dad's dead.
- [Mary] It was him.
Sky Corrigan.
The best guy dancer
in the school.
"Don't
Don't stop it"
- I call this one The Pepper Mill.
-"Don't stop, don't stop it"
Enjoy.
"Don't, don't, don't
Don't stop it"
Uh-oh. Is that the prettiest girl
in all of St. Monica's ?
[Sky] I bet you put that
cherry lip gloss on just for me.
- Shut up.
- You shut up.
- No, you shut up.
- Make me shut up.
Okay.
[Sky]
I like sugar.
Sugar is sweet.
I had a really good time
on our date last night. Did you ?
I wore this kiwi lime lip gloss
just for you.
You like it ? Huh ?
You like kiwi ?
Shut up.
You shut up.
'Cause you're sexy.
Shh. Shh.
Huh? You want me
I'll spank you.
Shh, shh, shh, shh.
Oh, God.
Oh, my body.
Sorry. Sorry.
I was--
I was just-- I was just doing
my part to save the rain forest.
Sorry.
Mary, you're a special girl,
so special that we're going
to put you in special ed.
What are you doing
with your hands ?
Sometimes when I get nervous,
I stick my fingers under my arms...
and I smell them like that.
[ Inhaling ]
The universe.
How does it work ?
The Earth circles
around the sun.
