No, no, no. It's okay, Matt.|You're gonna be fine. I promise.

You're such a good friend, Klitzy.|I love you.

I love you so much.

This is gonna be amazing.

Wait a second.

Oh, my God.

WELCOME TO THE SHERIDAN|SCHOLARSHIP BANQUE You don't understand. It's|really kicking in right now.

Just try not to talk|so much, okay?

Talk so much?|I'm giving a speech.

-It's okay. Just go with it.|-Wait, wait.

In a few minutes, we'll begin|the speeches, and we hope....

Thank you again|for coming to what...

...promises to be a|very eventful evening.

Matthew Kidman?

My competition.

-Hey, what's up, Ryan?|-Jesus, what happened to you?

Just living life, my man.

Mina, how are you?

Okay. Just a little nervous.

But you're a little temptress,|though, aren't you?

Hey, buddy. How you doing?

Hey. Thanks a lot,|thanks a lot.

Hey, there's the big daddy.

Matthew, what has been|going on with you?

Some serious sh*t.

But, Jesus, man,|it's good to see you.

Will you excuse us, please?

Oh, my God.|Am I blowing it?

Just try and control yourself.

-Just breathe, okay?|-All right.

I have learned a lot|from my teachers.

But my best teacher|has always been my mother...

...a woman who worked three|jobs trying to support me...

...ever since|I was a little nia.

I will never forget the day|she said to me:

And that is why I have always|tried to answer the call...

...of the great|John F. Kennedy...

...who urged us to|"Ask not what your country"--

Let's see here....

I can't speak a|foreign language...

...so that's out.

And I-- I certainly|can't quote J.F.K. now...

...can I, Ryan? You know what?

It's funny, I have this whole|speech prepared...

...and I've been|practicing for weeks...

...but you know what?

I'm just gonna go with it.

Moral fiber.

So, what is moral fiber?|I mean....

It's funny, I used to think|it was always telling the truth...

...doing good deeds.

You know, basically|being a f***ing Boy Scout.

But lately, I've been seeing|it differently.

Now I think that moral|fiber's about...

...finding that one thing|you really care about.

That one special thing|that means more...

...to you than anything|else in the world.

And when you find her...

...you fight for her.|You risk it all.

...your future, your life...

You put her in front of|everything...

...all of it.

And maybe the stuff you do|to help her isn't so clean.

You know what?|It doesn't matter.

Because in your|heart you know...

...that the juice|is worth the squeeze.

That's what moral|fiber's all about.

First, I'd just like to commend|the candidates on...

...their impressive remarks.

This year was a|very tough decision.

And as much as we'd love to give|you all scholarships, we can't.

And so I am proud to announce|the winner...

...of this year's|Sheridan scholarship:

Ryan Winger.

Oh, God, what happened?

Yeah, I slipped.

Listen, Jeannie,|Samnang's coming on Monday.

-I know. How exciting.|-Yeah.

So I'm gonna need|to close out the account.

What do you mean?

I mean I'm gonna need|to close out the account.

-But it's already closed.|-What are you talking about?

Your teacher came by yesterday|and cleared out the account.

Who? What-- What teacher?

Your student advisor.|Mr. Salinger.

The one you were|with the other day.

Mr. Salinger? What are you--?

Cambodia

Samnang, what's wrong, my son?

That Matthew Kidman.

He f***ed me, Mom.|He f***ed me so bad.

Son of a b*tch.

Oh, my God.

-What's wrong?|-Jeannie...

...didn't you ask|for ID or anything?

You said he was|your student advisor.

Oh, my God.

-Jeannie, where are you going?|-To get the manager.

No, hold on.|Wait, wait, wait.

Matthew, what's going on?

Look...

...that guy wasn't|my student advisor.

No, I know, I know.|I can get the money back.

We just need to keep this|between me and you for now, okay?

That's a great blouse, by the way.|Have you lost weight?

No? No, wait, wait.

Jeannie.

You think about this.|This is your fault too. Right?

You didn't ask for ID.|You didn't do anything.

And I saw you flirting|with him too...

...all right?|So unprofessional.

You'll lose your job|over this.

Don't threaten me,|you little sh*t.

I could give a f*** about you|and your rice boy.

I'm not getting fired.

Okay, okay. I'm sorry.|Just-- Please, I....

Just-- No one can ever|find out about this.

If this gets out, I'll be expelled.|My life will be over.

If that money isn't|back by Monday...

...I wouldn't worry about|being expelled.

I'd worry about going to jail.

-Jeannie....|-Hi, Jeannie.

Hi, Martin.

BANK MANAGER:

Matthew, what's wrong?

Matt, is there something|you want to talk about?

Matthew, honey, what is it?

-Hi.|-Come here.

I'm in so much trouble.

I can't believe|we're even thinking about this.

Well, if you need that kind|of money by Monday....

Yeah-- What are we doing?

I mean, I can't get you|involved in this.

I want to do it.

Why?

Moral fiber.

I'm in.

You haven't heard|the whole plan yet.

Doesn't matter.

F*** film school.

This is gonna be huge.|This is gonna be my calling card.

-No.|-Klitzy....

-No way.|-Klitz...

...you know I wouldn't ask for|this unless I really needed it.

Matt believe me,|I want to help you, but-- No.

-We'll get expelled and--|-Klitz, shut up.

Do me a favor, okay?

Take a look at us, okay?|Take a good look at us.

Do you know what we are,|the three of us?

-What?|-We're a f***ing tripod.

-A tripod?|-Yeah.

And you know what that means?

That means that if you kick out|one of our legs, then we all fall.

Come on, baby.

F***.

I know it was you, Klitzy.

-Where is she?|-Oh, there they are. Hey.

-Hey!|-Hi, Danielle.

Hi.

-Hey, let's get our luggage!|-Yeah.

-Yeah!|-All right?

-I'll be there in a minute.|-Okay!

So if I pull this off,|I get the 25 grand on Sunday?

Kid, you pull this off I'll|take care of your little Samsung.

Samnang.

Whatever.

Have a nice prom, kid.

-All right, minions, over here.|-Good luck.

Relax, relax.

You know what?|Go wait in the car. Go.

Jesus.

Gentlemen, these are your|prom dates, April and Ferrari.

Ladies, we have Eli and Klitz.

Your name is Klitz?

With a K.

Okay, get a two-shot. Minions.|All right, guys, get closer.

Yeah, that's right. Show me|the love. Oh, feel it. Feel it!

-Nice.|-Eli?

Do those girls go to|your school?

Actually, no.

Mrs. Kidman...

-...they're porn stars.|-Oh, yeah, right.

You look....

You-- You look really nice.

Thanks.

You really do, hon.|You look so beautiful.

Really?

Thanks.

WELCOME|TO THE SENIOR PROM

What are all these cameras for?

For video yearbook.

So, what should we do?|Should we start setting up?

Yeah, look, we just gotta|keep this low-key, okay?

Okay. What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna get our actors.

-Dude, make sure they can act.|-Yeah, all right.

-Just get out of here, okay?|-Hey, I got this taken care of.
