I could have you

in his arms like that?

Yeah, right.

Blue 42! Hut! Hike!

Heads up! Look out!

Are you okay?

Oh-

You're lisa sommers,

right?

You and your friends make

those clay pig movies?

I watch them online.

They're funny.

Lisa. I'm-

I'm lisa.

Nick! You done

over there, man?

I gotta go.

A lot more where

that came from.

He has strong hands.

And he's just

between girlfriends.

Perfect time

to make your move.

No, no, I can't.

I'm just-I'm not-

No, no, no.

I'm not. I'm not.

Well said.

We were almost friends

in the seventh grade.

A bunch of us

went over to his house

To watch him feed

his pet snake.

Then everything changed

over the summer.

Some girls got breasts. I

got braces and piano lessons.

And he got tall

and athletic.

And we all know

how that turned out.

I always wondered

what might've happened

If I just had

the courage to say,

"hey, nick, cool snake,"

you know?

You're like a human

sleeping pill.

Please don't ever talk

like that on a date.

But he knows my name.

And he's seen

pig tales.

Maybe I should leave him

a cool little message

In the next movie.

Look, I only have

five days.

You don't have to like me,

but I know how to hook a boy.

Are you really willing to pass that up?

Okay, it all starts

with how you look.

I know, I know. It's what's

on the inside that counts-

Blah, blah-which only ugly

people say, by the way.

But we're talking about

hardball high school popularity,

Which is based on looks

by about...

Hmm, 170%.

And the good news is,

you're not ugly...

Exactly.

You just gotta work

on your presentation.

And that's what

my life is all about.

Was.

Okay, fine. Was.

That's why we're

doing this together.

You're gonna help me

get into heaven,

And I'm gonna help

get nick into you.

Emotionally.

Wait.

That's my sister.

That's clementine.

God,

she looks so sad.

I wonder

what happened.

You died on Saturday.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, listen,

I gotta go.

I'll catch you

later.

In the meantime,

wax.

Everything.

Hey, mom.

Did you go to the office at all today?

Your sister got into

washington college.

I didn't even know

she applied.

Why didn't she tell me?

I did tell you.

Sdid tell you.

But you said

I wasn't good enough

To get into the school

where you went.

Now what do I do

with this?

I'm gonna

start dinner,

'cause people get

hungry, you know?

You did it, honey...

With no help from me.

You went out and got it.

I'll be damned.

Hmm.

You-lisa sommers-

Actually spoke

to nick ramsey?

Mm-hmm. I did.

Clear.

Clear.

Perfecto.

Click me off

two frames, raj.

It's speaking to me,

people.

Let's pick it up.

Today you finally

talked to him

After five years

of slack-jawed gawking.

Mm-hmm. I don't know,

things just-

Things just happen.

It was weird.

No, they don't.

Not with you.

Clear.

Wait, wait, cut. I want to

shoot this next one from above.

Let's go outside

and grab the ladder.

Are you sure

you're okay?

Because earlier, things

got a little, well...

You know.

Of course.

I'm better than okay.

I'm thinking of running

for prom queen.

What?

Okay.

Who was the first boy

that ever tried to kiss me,

And when did it happen?

What are you-

just answer the question.

It was

your cousin leo...

At your grandma's house

when you were ten.

What the hell

is wrong with you?

I had to make sure

it was still you in there.

Seriously? Prom queen?

Who are you?

Prom queen.

Hmm.

no, I don't care

don't want to be

typical

you could say

everything to me...

Mom? Hello?

no, I don't care

don't want

to be typical-

Excuse me.

Nice voice

in there, girl.

And the sweet tune

- is that something you wrote?

Have you ever heard

of a thing called privacy?

I knew I had my work

cut out for me, but this-

Please! I mean, nothing

goes with anything.

The salvation army would

reject this entire closet.

You're not going

to school today.

What? Why?

You're calling in

unattractive.

We're gonna go

to the mall

And get you some outfits

from this time period.

Are you all right?

Did you see your sister?

Yeah, I saw her.

Is she okay?

Let's just focus

on the job at hand,

Which is making you

look better.

I could use a little

of your help.

Lise, were you talking to somebody?

No.

Not really.

Mom, I was thinking of

skipping school today

So maybe I could go

buy a new outfit

For Saturday's

make-up prom.

Are you crazy?

You can't tell your mom you're cutting.

You want to buy

a new outfit?

Oh, honey!

That's wonderful!

Do you need money? I'll just take

some out of your dad's wallet.

So, do you always tell

your parents the truth?

I mean, like, what do

you do when you sneak out?

I don't sneak out.

Come on. Even amish

girls sneak out to...

Raise a barn

or something.

Did you have to

make it this hard?

Try on

that blue outfit.

How do you like it?

This is not me.

That's the point.

If they sold you here,

they'd go out of business.

I cannot wear

something like this.

Why? Someone might

find out you're cute?

I am not cute.

I hate to be the one

to deliver the bad news,

But you are.

You've got b*obs,

Which you seem to be in

denial about, and actual legs,

Which you could

show off on occasion.

And...

A perfectly nice little

butt, I have to say.

Are you coming on to me?

Honey...

I'm telling you

what guys like.

And it's not

that complicated.

Now, zip it down.

Hike it up.

The dress.

Now do this.

No, I refuse.

Do it.

Think of nick.

You're not ready

for that.

Let's stick to the

clothes. Hold that one up.

No, you couldn't pull it off. Could.

Oh, I would so kill

in that dress.

How'd you do that?

I don't know.

I thought I was gonna be stuck

in that prom dress forever.

Oh, my god.

I have fashion powers!

Ha ha!

You told her we're meeting

for lunch, right?

You were standing

right there, colin.

Then she must be

sick or something.

Well, she'd better not

be blowing us off.

Who said we were

being blown off?

She-she wouldn't do that.

Hmm. How about a shorter

cut with some highlights?

No.

Okay. What about

a swoop bang

And some lowlights?

I don't think so.

Maybe we should just

turn the lights off.

Hey.

We can dye it blond.

Bad idea.

I know what'll

fix this mess.

Let's add

some length.

Oh, that's nice.

Now, every girl needs

her signature scents

That their boy

can find in the dark.

Great. So, it's like

being sniffed out by a dog.

look at that.

What? Zac efron boy over there.

He's not

looking at me.

Well, he's sure not

looking at me.

This is perfect-

a starter boy.

Call him over.

I don't know his name.

Call him over.

Hi.

Um... I never know what

to say to a pretty girl.

Well, that's not

a bad start.

Say it. That's not a bad start.

Damn cute, isn't he?

Just say hi.

Hi.

Hi, my name's aiden.

Now tell him your name.

Back off.

I'm sorry, I was just-

No, no, no, no.

You're fine.

Oh.

I'm lisa.

And I have to go.

What?

Right now?

Yep. I was just here
