CLAIRE:

(laughs)

(to Bender)

Sounds like you...

ANDREW:

Look, you guys keep up your talking

and Vernon's gonna come right in

here...I got a meet this Saturday

and I'm not gonna miss it on account

of you boneheads...

BENDER:

(to Andrew)

Oh and wouldn't that be a bite...

Bender lets out a moan of fake agony.

BENDER:

Missing a whole wrestling meet!

ANDREW:

Well you wouldn't know anything

about it, f*ggot! You never competed

in your whole life!

BENDER:

(with mock hurt)

Oh, I know...I feel all empty inside

because of it. I have such a deep

admiration for guys that roll around

on the floor with other guys!

ANDREW:

Ahhh...you'd never miss it. You

don't have any goals.

BENDER:

Oh, but I do!

ANDREW:

Yeah?

BENDER:

I wanna be just--like--you! I

figure all I need's a labotamy and

some tights!

Brian becomes interested.

BRIAN:

You wear tights?

ANDREW:

(to Brian)

No I don't wear tights, I wear the

required uniform...

BRIAN:

Tights...

ANDREW:

(defensive)

Shut up!

They hear Vernon moving around out in the hall so Bender

quickly comes and sits in the chair between Claire and

Andrew. He folds his hands on the table.

Vernon goes back into his office. Bender laughs and

gets up. He starts walking towards the double doors

that separate the library from the hallway.

BRIAN:

You know there's not s'posed to be

any monkey business!

Bender turns and points at Brian.

BENDER:

(in a stern voice)

Young man...have you finished your

paper?

Bender turns back away and goes to the door. He looks

around cautiously and removes a screw from the door.

CLAIRE:

What are you gonna do?

ANDREW:

Drop dead, I hope!

CUT TO:

9. INT. HALLWAY - DAY

We see Vernon getting a drink at the fountain. He stands

up and checks the way he looks in a mirror. He does a

muscular pose and utters some manly jibberish “Cobadonga!”

CUT TO:

10. INT. LIBRARY - DAY

Brian looks up. Bender is messing with the door to the

library.

BRIAN:

Bender, that's, that's school

property there...you know, it doesn't

belong to us. It's something not to

be toyed with.

The door slams shut. Bender runs back to his seat.

ANDREW:

That's very funny, come on, fix it!

BRIAN:

You should really fix that!

BENDER:

Am I a genius?

ANDREW:

No, you're an a**hole!

BENDER:

What a funny guy!

ANDREW:

Fix the door Bender!

BENDER:

Everyone just shhh!

CUT TO:

11. INT. HALLWAY - DAY

We see Vernon walking back to his office. He stops and

listens to them through the closed door.

BENDER (OS)

I've been here before, I know what

I'm doing!

ANDREW (OS)

No! Fix the door, get up there and

fix it!

BENDER (OS)

(screams)

Shut up!

CUT TO:

12. INT. LIBRARY - DAY

We see Brian as we hear Vernon in the hall.

VERNON (OS)

God damnit!

He opens the door and storms in.

VERNON:

Why is that door closed?

For a few seconds no one says anything, they just stare

at Vernon.

VERNON:

Why is that door closed?

BENDER:

How're we s'posed to know? We're

not s'posed to move, right?

Vernon turns to Claire.

VERNON:

Why?

CLAIRE:

We were just sitting here, like we

were s'posed to...

Vernon looks around and looks at Bender.

VERNON:

Who closed that door?

BENDER:

I think a screw fell out of it...

ANDREW:

It just closed, sir...

Vernon looks at Allison in the back.

VERNON:

Who?

Allison lets out a squeak and slams her face onto the

table, hiding in her jacket hood.

BENDER:

She doesn't talk, sir...

VERNON:

(to Bender)

Give me that screw...

BENDER:

I don't have it...

VERNON:

You want me to yank you outta that

seat and shake it out of you?

BENDER:

I don't have it...screws fall out

all of the time, the world's an

imperfect place...

VERNON:

Give it to me, Bender...

CLAIRE:

Excuse me, sir, why would anybody

want to steal a screw?

VERNON:

(to Claire)

Watch it, young lady...
