The Curiosity of Chance Page #4
Good job!
Hank, your photos are totally wicked!
I think the team's going to read it
and be inspired.
It's going to be a good season!
They're going to blow.
Most assuredly.
Brilliant!
Good to have your bender back.
Yeah.
So uh... I gotta ask,
what were you thinking?
You know, talkin' to
the jack-off for his story?
It's just a stupid article, who cares?
Well, everyone man.
And now it's in print.
Forever.
Look, I don't know if you noticed lately,
but we are the sh*t around here.
Gods, man. And I've worked way too hard
to let you throw that away
by hanging with some
lunatic-fringe fairy-queen.
He's turning you into a joke, Levi.
And you don't even see it.
You give him too much credit.
No, the credit's all yours!
Stay away from him, man.
Is that a threat?
What are you looking for?
This was her favorite.
It's beautifully crafted.
Look at the beading detail.
A timeless fashion.
Exquisite...
Why are you looking through
Mom's old dresses?
Don't you have
a tiara to polish?
Hey, Levi.
I just wanted to say thanks again,
for aiding me with my article.
I thought you might like some of Hank's
photos of you at soccer practice...
Uh, hello?
Thanks, but I'll pass.
Chance do you have a--
Close the door!
It's not bad...
Have you ever heard of lip-liner?
Hello?!
If Cyndi Lauper can manage it,
so can you.
Your foundation is a tad uneven.
Is this your outfit for school tomorrow?
You're going to enter?
Teenagers get to do all the fun stuff.
I don't know how much fun it'll be
after ten minutes in heels.
I can show you wear to put band-aids.
They'll keep your feet from blistering.
Hey, don't tell anyone about this.
Especially not Sir.
If anyone I know sees me like this,
I am done for.
No matter how well I pull it off.
Jesus and Mary
and our Commander-in-Chief,
Ronald Reagan!
What the hell are we doing here?!
Is that your mother's dress?
It shouldn't go to waste.
I did his make-up.
Well, you did a very nice job, Honey...
Okay.
He wanted to spare your feelings,
but truthfully, I could tell...
he thinks your eye shadow is too dark.
Doesn't anyone ever knock in this house?
The Debbie-Gibson-Red
is definitely your color.
Stay calm.
Sasha means well, he thinks he can find for
every queen her name and 'inner song'.
It only should take a second.
Pepper Madison.
Dancing Queen!
Are you sure?
Listen to me Pepper,
if you sing 'Dancing Queen'
you will be the star performer of the night.
I might even make you a regular.
I didn't practice Dancing Queen.
Don't worry, Sasha means well,
but he's a little bit funny in the head.
He always want us to sing 'Dancing Queen.'
Are you nervous?
A little bit...
Yeah...
Okay, a lotta bit.
Don't worry. Butterflies are good.
failure is not an option.
And whatever you do tonight
don't turn on the mic.
Ok?
But you'll be a star tonight.
Claire Vuoyant everyone...
always hard to top.
In fact, I have it on good authority
she has her ass tattooed:
'No Entry.'
'For eight-inches and under.'
Okay, let's keep this train-wreck
of a night going.
Next up is a first-timer, so ladies,
keep those beer bottles in your
mouths where they belong.
Here she is:
Lucky Chance!I was bom to run
I was born to dream
Craziest boy you've ever seen
I've gotta do it my way
Or no way at all
And I was here to please
I'm even on my knees
Making love to whoever I please
I've gotta do it my way
Or no way at all
And then you came around
Tryin' to tie me down
I was such a clown
You had to have it your way
Or no way at all
Why don't you turn me loose
Turn me loose, turn me loose
I've gotta have it my way
Or no way at all
Why don't you turn me loose
Turn me loose, turn me loose
I've gotta have it my way
Or no way at all
And I'm here to please
Even on my knees
Making love to whoever I please
I've gotta do it my way
What's going on?
The Split Infinitives have officially...
split.
Look Chance, I don't mean
to be a jerk or nothing, but--
But you just decided to be one anyway.
Listen, I can't really hang with you anymore.
My dad's being a hard-ass about football,
and concentrating on getting a scholarship.
That's why he made you quit the band?
What happened to your whole
'music is my life' mantra?
Well,
it's like you said, we're...
What was it?
Pedicular?
So, no big loss.
I don't know a meteor could hit the earth,
causing you to get better.
I think I saw it once in an Ed Wood film.
I know the real reason you
don't want to be seen with me.
It's not what you think.
I don't care that you dig guys.
I believe that.
But you do care
if other people think you do...
by way of association.
so much sway over you.
Usually the drummer is the most expendable.
Look, I don't expect you to get it.
There's a news flash.
You don't expect me to get much, do you?
Continually underestimating me
for some unknown reason.
You're not as complicated
as you think you are.
How the hell would you know?
I'm a teenager, too.
And infinitely
more complicated than you.
Is that so?
I don't see any dresses in your closet.
It's okay.
Guys like you are never friends
with the likes of me.
So in that regard,
you turned out true to form.
Ouch.
Someday, you're gonna have
to stand up to people.
People like Brad...
like your father.
Eventually maybe even yourself.
So, how's your
revenge-on-Brad plan coming?
Yeah, what you got?
A headache.
Besides, I think
I'm off his radar.
Jerk!
Hey!
Look, Whoopi,
it ain't my fault his big fat face
got in the way, okay?
Hey! Marquis...
next time, duck.
Like the chicken you are.
That makes no sense.
On a pure poultry level.
Hey! Jimmy Olsen,
no one's talking to you.
Why are you so angry all the time?
What did I even do to you?
Invaded my school.
I mean, your presence alone is enough
to make me wanna puke.
Don't you get it man?
You don't belong here.
So, leave.
Fairy Academy is back in the states.
They're waiting for you.
Let's go, man.
Forget about it man,
well beat him up tomorrow.
So, what was that all about being
'off his radar'?
A man can't go on like this.
Or you, even.
Do something!
I know why he's so angry all the time.
This plan is unwise.
Not to mention, uncouth.
It's high-risk, I agree.
Grow some balls! The both of you.
And stop talking like
a forty-year-old British fop.
It's bizarro.
If I do like this--
Abort.
and if I do this-
Then the abort is off and we're back on.
But then, if I do...
Mr. Samsonite, shut it!
Okay, Air Craft Carrier Smelker
has passed.
C'mon!
I need to see the nurse!
I'm dying.
Not before I get a petition form.
The food at this institution is not fit for
sub-species consumption, let alone humans.
One at a time, boys, please I am alone here.
Are you okay?
Oh my God!
What's wrong with him?
