The Outcasts
1
Richard Nixon High
wasn't the worst place
to spend four years.
Well for the most part.
By and large, it was your
average suburban high school
full of self-segregated cliques
and stereotypical angst,
and at the top of the food chain,
the rich and beautiful.
That's us.
In the background.
There's me, Mindy Lipschitz.
The assault victim.
And the girl with the Home Alone look
on her face.
Oh thanks.
That's Jodi, my best friend.
We've been best friends
since third grade.
I'm the one with the
unfortunate eye patch.
As you can see, my school
kind of sucked for us,
and so did Jodi's aim.
Zombie fascist!
Intended target, Whitney Bennett,
voted most likely to be
charged with war crimes.
She was 5'7" of sculpted,
flawless, sociopath.
Actual target.
Son of a...
Principal Whitmore,
tormenting students since 1979.
So sorry!
And that's how this whole thing started,
the rock that launched a revolution.
X-Files is on tonight.
Can't, I have homework.
What the F?
We get detention and
Whitney does a hair flip
and gets off scot-free.
Well if it makes you feel any better,
in at least one of the
infinite multiverses,
she doesn't.
Hey, I know it seems like high school
is the center of this
universe right now.
Do not say it gets better.
Next year you'll be in nerdvana at MI and I'll still be here
serving quadruple bypass
burgers at TGI Fridays.
Or you could be serving an entirely new
and decidedly classier set in Boston
when you come to live with me.
Great.
So in every multiverse you know of,
That's awesome.
I gotta go.
I've got family jazzercise at five.
It's gonna get physical!
Good luck with that jazzercising!
I am in control!
Weirdo!
Maniac!
Hey Dad!
Hey hon.
Mm mmm something smells
scrum-diddly-icious.
How was school?
Oh you know,
legalized torture paid for
by the American taxpayer.
Did you make the appointment
with the college counselor?
Jodi, you're graduating this year.
I think it's time you figured
out where you're headed.
that doesn't pay a living wage
so I can become a cog
in the 21st century's
version of serfdom.
When did you start
speaking like Trotsky?
Look, I just want you to be happy.
I want you to find
something that you love.
Follow your dreams.
So single 40-something postal carrier
with a PEZ collection
was what you put under
your yearbook photo?
Hey, this PEZ collection
completely different things.
I know.
Dad, I mean it's been five years.
You know, you're not
getting any younger.
Age is just a number.
That closely correlates with death.
You want me to start dating?
I just want you to find
something you love, Herb.
Follow your dreams.
I'll find a date if
you find a direction.
a lot easier than the other.
It's not finding a date...
And it's not finding a direction.
All right, so here's a new song.
I hope you enjoy it
and by you, I mean me
that Taylor Swift's music
has touched my cold, dark heart
than show it to anybody.
It's called Suburbageddon.
Bernoulli's theorem
will be on test next week.
Uh hey Mindy, could you, uh,
stick around for a nanosecond?
Oh, did my Spectro
floato-meter malfunction.
I knew I should have gotten...
Hey, slow down, Sonic.
I spoke with my old roommate
who is on the alumni board at MI and she agreed to set up
Are you serious?
As a radiation leak.
Oh my god, this is perfect.
Okay, next step is the interview,
then get in obviously, get
first pick for all my classes,
graduate with honors and
then it will set me up
for one of the more prestigious
graduate programs.
Mindy, one step at a time.
College is about more than
just classes and grades.
It's about exploring, having fun.
all night with my friends
solving proofs, cracking equations.
It was pretty wild.
But some of my best memories
are just hanging out,
meeting new people, living on the edge.
God I miss college.
Well in my experience,
meeting new people
usually leads to relentless
mockery by said people.
Don't you think that's
a little pessimistic.
Give people a chance.
That is a point worth
considering, Mr. Samuels.
Go forth.
Go!
The world is ready to embrace you.
Boo loser.
Eventually.
Since Mr. Samuels was
basically my real-life Yoda,
I knew he was right.
He'd proven it was time
to give people a chance.
Whitney to stop torturing us.
Did you forget to wear
your gas mask in lab again?
Whitney's a person too, right?
If we approach her like
confident, mature adults,
she will respect us and then
we can coexist in peace.
Of all the douche-nozzles
in this school,
Whitney is the worst.
She hasn't been that horrible.
What the?
Okay fine.
But it's this or suffer
from abject humiliation
for the rest of the year.
So I said to her if you
don't stay away from Rick,
I will call the police and say
that you molested my hat
and you have to register for that.
I'm here.
Took you long enough.
One center cut rare,
three meatball subs, extra sauce,
a hard boiled egg and a kombucha.
I'm going to die a virgin
and you don't even care.
Shh.
Are you guys selling
band candy or something?
Actually, no.
We were wondering if
we could talk to Whitney
for a second.
Do you have an appointment?
It's fine, Mackenzie.
I want to hear what Bill Nye
and the lesbian have to say.
Hello.
We know that there has
been some bad blood
between us throughout the years,
but we are seniors now
and there is no reason
why we can't finish off
the school year
being civil to each other.
We thought that if we came
and spoke to you like adults,
we could come to some sort of
mutually beneficial agreement.
Wow.
I applaud your courage.
Okay.
Wait what?
It didn't occur to me
until this exact moment
that I kind of respect you.
You didn't change yourself to blend in,
which is much more than can be said
for the rest of these automatons.
Well I'm glad we could come
to this understanding.
Actually, Colin's throwing
a party this Saturday.
You should come.
Thank you for coming.
Friends don't let friends drive drunk.
Ow.
The mean attractiveness of this party
is statistically significant.
How do I look?
Soccer mom goes to the Olive Garden.
I guess we should...
Colin!
Oh perfect.
Thank you for hosting us.
You have a lovely home.
My mom says never come
Sweet.
Oh.
Have fun, baby.
Hey bro, we got next game.
Oh my god.
Is that really how I just
See, we are diversifying
our portfolio of high
school experiences already.
That contains Colin's urine.
Hey.
MIT and what was it?
How's it going, guys?
Well we haven't been roofied yet so.
Wow.
Aren't you enchanting?
This is her trying to be nice.
