Tori Frederking is back.

Her parents sent her to Europe for

the summer as a graduation gift...

...but she's back. Now I have 3 confirmed

sitings of her in this mall.

Matt, I don't care about Tori Frederking.

I care about her, aged to perfection.

- Daddy likie.

- Barry, you gotta focus here, man.

I'm talking about "The Frederking".

You have to focus, okay.

That was in the 10th grade. You got Truth

or Dared into a closet with the girl.

That was literally, seven

minutes in heaven.

When we got out of that closet, she told

everyone at the party that I was...

- an amazing kisser.

- An amazing kisser.

- She did!

- But, you didn't kiss her.

You spent seven minutes shitting your pants

and not making a move.

I know, that's what makers her so

f***ing awesome.

When I got out of the closet, everyone

started ragging on me for choking.

She lied and said I was an amazing kisser.

- Pretty stellar move, huh.

- To the max.

Oh my god. I've been hearing this story

since we shared our mothers uterus.

Oh, and by the way, did you have the balls

to ask her out after that?

- I can't remember...

- No, but only because I never had my "in".

- Don't do this!

- Don't do this!

- Hey!

- Hey!

- Come on.

- Come on..

- How do you always know what I'm gonna say?

- How do you always know what I'm gonna say?

- F***!

- F***!

You guys are really freaking me out

with the twins sh*t.

Watch and learn brother. I'm going in.

Eye of the tiger, buddy.

I tiger.

- Don't like how this looks.

- No, no good.

So uh, so you like uh, music?

I hate it!

Swing and a miss.

Oh, not the book Barry.

No, no. Not the art of war. Oh God.

You ever read Sun Tzu's "Art of War"?

I have. It's amazing.

Give you my number.

I'll loan it to you. Get back to me, at a

later date, of your choosing.

And we'll have, I don't know, a bottle of

chilled white Zin.

I'm free on uh, Saturday.

Call me.

Shermer High Class of 84.

THE FUTURE IS YOURS!

Take Me Home Tonight

Ronald Reagan:
"Win one for the Gipper".

- Hey Tori.

- Hey guys.

Whew. This humpback whale just swims

right by me, right.

I've never felt so scared in my life.

That's when it hit me.

This is what I want to do with my life.

This is what I want others to do.

See. That's why the second I got back to LA...

boom... opened Mint Travel.

Wait, you own it?

Yeah dude.

Went to the bank, got a loan. Pieces fell

right into place.

So what about you, I

thought you went to uh...

- MIT!

- MIT!

I just graduated. But uh, I hated it.

Yeah it was all like, theory and machines...

I was on this one way highway...

I was like...

You know... rest stop, please.

So this is a rest stop?

Oh yeah. This is totally temporary.

You know what you should do? You

should travel.

See the world. Find your hump-back whale.

You come see me, ok?

Seriously, it's the slow season right now.

Everbody's at work or school. Perfect time

for Matt to shine.

You take care man.

- Excuse me.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

Hey, don't I know you?

Well I don't think so.

No, I do. I know you from somewhere.

- Oh, you went to Sherman, didn't you.

- I did!

- That must be it.

- Yeah, me too!

- Oh weird.

- I actually think you were in my homeroom.

What?

Yeah, you were the really smart kid.

You won the attendance award... every year.

Yeah.

- It's me, Tori.

- Matt Franklin.

I knew I knew you from somewhere... cool!

So... er... ah... what are you up too?

Well, uh...

I went to Duke and I

graduated, with honors.

Yeah. And then I got awarded this

internship at Drexel Burnham.

So, I moved back.

Oh, it's an investment bank.

- I know what it is.

- Oh, I didn't mean to...

- No no, it's fine. I'm in the same business, so.

- Really?

Yeah. Where do you work?

I'm at Goldman Sachs.

Oh that's funny. I didn't know they had

an office in Los Angeles.

I know, that's weird.

A lot of people don't.

I'm in Japanese takeovers.

So, are you going to Kyle Masterson's

party tonight?

Uh, I don't know...

Oh. You should totally go. It was pretty

good last year.

Word is, someones gonna ride the "ball"

tonight.

Where are they?

Weird.

Hellooo!

You know what. Just take it. Yup just

take it.

There we go. I'll pay for it when this

jackass gets back.

Great! Thank you.

So maybe I'll see you tonight... Terry?

- Tori.

- Right... Tori... sorry.

- Barry Nathan.

- Dude, you will not believe who was just in here, Tori Frederking.

Bottom line it for me.

I think she was flirting with me. I

honestly got that vibe.

That's highly unlikely. Can you do

better for me boss?

She said I should totally go to

Kyle Masterson's party tonight.

This is it. I finally have my "in".

- Ah, I see.

- We're going to that party!

I'm finally getting her phone number.

- Yeah. That's all you got for me?

- Oh yeah, what do you know about investment banking?

Nothing.

- Currencies?

- Nothing?

That's not acceptable!

You've got to bend a bit more here boss.

This guy just had another baby.

Oh, you're trying to close a sale.

Vagina, vagina, vagina...

Good luck. We'll pick you up at 5:00.

Fine. No I will! I'll take it out of my

own god damn salary!

No, thank you! It's a pleasure.

Such a f***ing pleasure.

I'm sorry that you had to witness that.

Steven. That bastards not gonna budge.

But um, off the top of my head, this is what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna knock 3 grand off.

Your boss is standing right behind you.

And I'm not buying your bullshit... Barry!

Or a sedan.

F*** me, f*** me, f*** me.

You know what?! I gave up college for

you bastards.

Oh sh*t.

Start the engine.

F*** you!

So um, dad. Somebody's gonna ride

the "ball" tonight.

Darling, nobody rode that thing when I was

a kid. And nobody's gonna ride it tonight.

How's your dad doing, Barry?

Well, his parole got pushed back about six

months, so he's pretty upset about that.

I still don't understand

why they let you go.

my youth.

Look at it this way, Barry. At least

you went for it.

You realized a goal. You rolled up your

sleeves and you applied yourself.

Well I see the traditional evenings

torture is in full swing.

Matthew, we had a deal.

You said just give me the summer to figure things out.

Well guess what. The summers over!

I want to hear your plan.

Dad, I guess my plan is to keep working at Suncoast until

I figure out what I really want to do with my life.

Why don't you just get an engineering job

until you figure it out?

Honey, we just think you have such potential.

You could be anything. You could be an astronaut.

Oh, problem solved. I'll just be an

astronaut.

Matthew, I didn't give a quarter of my savings

to MIT so you could work at the mall.

I'll see you all in the morning. I gotta

go to work.

Matt!

- Are you OK?

- I applied to Cambridge for my masters.

- Holy sh*t! You finally did it.

- I don't wanna open it.

- Why not?

- Because I'm scared, dip sh*t.

- Oh... want me to open it?

- No! Matt, no! Knock it off!

No I think you do.
