The Good Student Page #3

where's my little girl?

We have a couple questions

for you, Mr. Palmer.

Was Ally using drugs'?

What?

Any reason she might have

run off?

Shady friends?

Was she depressed?

What in Christ

are you talking about?

Some nut job broke into my home

and kidnapped my daughter.

That's just it, sir.

Usually in a kidnapping,

there's a ransom note,

some sort of demand.

Without that, it looks more

like a runaway situation.

Allyson has a great life.

She got the best of everything.

Why the f*** would she run away?

Somebody took her.

I know it.

How are you so sure, sir'?

Scotches for everyone.

Not now, Tiff.

But, Philly, you--

Not now!

Let me tell you something.

I am a respected man

in this town.

My reputation is my life.

I got powerful people watching

this situation real close.

I'm gonna be the mayor one day,

so when I tell you

that you should be out

looking for a kidnapper,

then you and the freak

over in the corner

had damn well better be out

looking for a kidnapper.

And I'll tell you

something else.

If you ever insinuate again

that I know more

than I am saying,

I will personally slice your

nuts open with a rusty nail.

Sound fair to you?

Peachy.

Now, what about this pencil dick

that assaulted me

with a frying pan?

Gibb?

He's clean so far,

but we're not done

with him yet.

Problem remains,

no ransom note, no motive,

no kidnapping.

Karl, let's go.

Mr. Palmer's gonna be mayor

one day.

Shouldn't

you be in jail?

Ronnie,

it's not your fault, pal.

They're all hotties,

hotties dressed

like little hookers.

They're all asking for it.

It's no wonder

guys like us

do the things that we do.

Jesus!

Sorry.

Keep that piece of crap

out of here,

or I'll call the cops.

What is it exactly

that guys like us do?

Please, Ronnie, you think

you're the first teacher

to slip one of his flock

a little something extra?

I got two juniors.

They'd be failing right now

if they didn't f*** like champs.

You're disgusting.

How do you live with yourself'?

Wake up, Gibb.

A girl like Ally Palmer wouldn't

give you the time of day

if she wasn't fishing

for a good grade.

Wait a minute.

You think she's actually hot

for you.

That's f***ing hysterical, man.

That is funny, Ronnie.

Later.

He'!-

Pick-up for Phil Palmer.

Right, two double cheeseburgers

with the works,

two jumbo fries,

and a slice of cherry pie.

You must be hungry.

Ravenous.

That'll be $9.75.

Right.

Let's see

what I got here.

Yeah.

That's a ten.

You keep the change, hon.

Mr. Palmer.

You want to get out of my way,

fuckwit?

Yeah, hi, two Philly cheese

to go.

$5.75.

Hello?

Who's there?

You're insane.

I don't eat fast food.

No, wait.

Please don't go.

I'm sorry, please.

Excellent choice,

Mr. Palmer.

Seen this one,

like, ten times.

Hot sex scene.

Is that right'?

Yeah, real steamy.

Well, what do you know?

There you go.

Mr. Palmer.

Good evening.

Have they found

your daughter yet?

No. No, they have not.

My wife and I

are praying for her.

Thank you

and God bless.

So when is this one

due back?

Quarter past midnight.

What happened?

Just some local punks.

I chased them off.

You don't have to do that.

Do you think

I'm a good person?

Of course I do.

You're a teacher.

There's nothing nobler.

I betrayed a sacred trust.

I took advantage of a student.

How could I be

so stupid?

Been so long since I felt alive,

and when her lips touched mine,

I actually--

I wanted--

Shh, quiet,

that's enough.

Look what you're doing

to yourself.

I've been so awful to you.

It's not me

you've been awful to.

What's wrong?

You don't know me.

I don't know you.

Did you just say that?

I don't know you?

Six years I've been

your neighbor.

I know that you wear

the same brown jacket

Monday through Thursday,

sweater vests on Fridays.

I know that you overcook

your bacon.

You burn the sh*t out of it.

- Holly.

- No, shut up.

For someone so smart,

you can be such a dumb-ass.

I've never seen you

have a visitor,

not another human being.

Now, that's wrong.

You don't understand.

I get it.

You're hurting inside

just like everyone else

on this green earth.

Well, I'm hurting too,

and I'm scared,

scared as hell

I'll die alone.

I need to be held.

And maybe you can't see it,

but so do you.

Grow some balls,

Ronald Gibb.

Be a man.

Start living.

As I said, no

man can do it alone.

For good old Abe,

it was Mary Todd,

Mary Todd Lincoln,

that really got him on track.

He was a loner,

and she needed attention.

Not necessarily a match

made in heaven,

but it worked.

Ronald?

[man on M Bringing you the latest

update on the Ally Palmer kidnapping,

we now go live to--

Where Ronald Gibb,

local high school teacher,

is holding a press conference.

And I repeat, I did not

have a romantic relationship

with Allyson Palmer.

The horrible reality...

is that Ally is still missing.

I don't know

what happened to her,

but someone out there does.

I am hereto do what the police

and her father will not.

This is my life savings,

$68,000.

You want it?

Find Allyson Palmer.

No questions asked,

no explanation needed.

When Ally gets home safely,

this money is yours.

You brave son of a b*tch.

You stupid

son of a b*tch.

211 phone calls

in the past hour alone.

Well, that's good, right?

Nine of the callers say

that she was abducted by aliens.

It's gonna take us days

to sort through all of this.

We weren't prepared

to open up this can of worms.

There's something different

about you, Gibb.

Next time,

take a dump on my face.

Hey, hey, hey!

Back off, Palmer!

Back up!

Something had to be done,

something besides

bartering her life

for cut-rate prices

on used cars.

This is none of your business.

It's my daughter.

It's my problem.

I am trying to help her.

You like little blonde girls,

ain't that right?

Even if they're not on DVD.

You disrespected

my little baby,

and I am itching

to rip your heart out!

Now, I don't care

if barge ass here

has got anything on you

or not.

If I find out that you were

involved in any way,

God as my witness,

I will bite off your johnson.

Another thing:

your reward sucks.

I'm gonna double it.

No child of mine

is gonna be cut-rate.

She is not

a clearance sale item.

Look, Gibb,

father of the year is right.

It's time for you

to take a step back.

He is warped.

It doesn't matter.

You were the last person

to see that girl alive.

You better start praying

it doesn't stay that way.

You stay away from me.

I'll use this,

I swear.

Hold it.

Hold it.

I came to apologize.

I bought you--

I bought you a new camera.

This one's better

than the one you smashed.

It's top-of-the-line.

This doesn't make it all right.

I still think you're a creep,

but thanks.

You're welcome.

Hey, how do you know

Ally's dad?

I don't.

Yeah, Phil Palmer,

I'm just curious

how you two know each other.

Um...

I've seen him dropping Ally off.

Well, that's fascinating,
