The Secret Lives of Dorks Page #9
Nothing?
You're Not Gonna Chide Me For My
Improper Parental Technique?
All Right, What's Wrong?
Oh, Look, I Know It's Football,
But I've Never Seen You This
Down.
You Don't Understand At All.
All Right.
So...
You Started Off With The Hots
For This Carrie Girl.
She Wanted To Play Matchmaker,
And You Had Hope That All The
Time You Spent With Her, She
Would Like You Back.
But Then You Realize You Really
Connect To This Samantha, And
Because You Don't Have
Experience In This World, You
Muck It All Up?
Muck! Muck! Muck! Muck!
[ Giggles ]
Watch, Watch, Watch, Watch.
You Know, Son, If You Had Some
Questions, You Could Have Come
To Me.
Heck, We're Both Out There In
The Dating World.
Maybe You Could Have Given Me A
Tip Or Two.
Son, All I Know Is, If I Were
You Right Now, I Would Need To
Prove To This Girl -- This
Samantha Girl -- That She Means
More To Me Than Anything In The
World, More Than This Carrie
Chick, More Than The Respect Of
Your Classmates, And, Yes, Even
More Than The Mighty
Chicago Bears.
[ Giggles ]
Hey, That's What You Got To
Do, Whether You Want To Believe
It Or Not.
Now, If You Want To Go Figure It
Out, I Officially Excuse You
Oh, Wait.
If You Are Really Determined
And Willing To Pay The Price,
You Can Get It Done.
Ditka?
Advice I Give You Is --
Yeah. Ditka. It's Ditka.
Longest Conversation We've Had.
So, Let's Really Think About
This, Andy.
No Way Batman's A Dork.
Robin Number 1, He Dated
Starfire, Right?
Little Thing Going On With The
Spoiler.
I Didn't Know You Like Comic
Books.
Yeah, I Like Comic Books.
Shh.
So, Next Time, Can I Get --
Superman?
No, You Can't Play Superman.
Oh, Really?
Then Look At This.
Whoo!
You Ready, Kiddo?
Hi, Mrs. Gardner.
Hey.
Same Time Next Week?
Yeah, Definitely.
Okay.
Ah.
Say "Thank You," Andy.
Thank You.
High Five!
You Ready?
Ready.
See Ya.
Thanks.
Did You Have Fun?
Do You Like Clark?
[ Talking Indistinctly ]
That Was Even Funner.
[ Laughs ]
Hey, You're Really Gonna
Enjoy These.
That'll Be $38 Even.
Thanks.
Thank You. Come Again.
Did You Know About Andy?
Sure.
Clark And Andy Come In Here All
The Time.
[ Sighs ]
Why Would He Hide This From Me?
He's Captain Of The Football
Team.
He Doesn't Want Anyone To Think
He's Uncool.
But I'm His Girlfriend.
Exactly -- He Especially
Doesn't Want His Girlfriend To
Think He's Uncool.
[ Sighs ]
I Need To Talk To You About
Payton.
My Whole Life, I Was Worried
About "What's The Worst That
Can Happen?"
But Now I Was Living It.
I Had Lost Samantha.
There Was Nothing Left To Be
Scared Of, 'Cause It Couldn't
Get Any Worse.
This Whole Time, I Was
Listening To Carrie's Advice --
How To Dress, How To Act, How
To Get A Reach-Around.
But It Was Time To Stop Doing
What She Wanted Me To Do And
Start Doing What I Wanted.
If I'm Really A Superhero, I'm
Gonna Have To Prove It.
I Just Need One More Brilliant
Plan To Woo Samantha.
So, Everything -- Everything
Involving You Was Part Of A
Brilliant Plan To Woo Me?
Yes!
Payton's Not Just A Dork -- He's
An Idiot.
You Make The Boy Stupid.
If That's Not Love, I Don't Know
What Is.
Stop.
Don't Say Anything.
Look, I Understand What You See
In Chester, Okay?
Yeah, He's President Of The
Chess Club And His Handwriting's
Impeccable And He's Got Really,
But -- But I'm Not That Guy,
Okay?
No. Samantha.
But I'm Just The Guy Who's --
Who's Gonna Do This!
Everybody, Get Down!
Is That A Turnip?
No, It's An Onion.
No Outside Food!
Well, It Looks Like A Turnip.
It's An Onion!
Pbht!
An Onion? Lame!
Shut Up! This Is So Romantic!
Yes, I Am Holding A Very
But That Is Only Because If You,
Samantha Gibson, Do Not Give Me
A Second Chance, Then...
Then I'm Gonna Have To Eat This
Right Here In Front Of
Everybody!
And If You Don't Go Out With
Me, I'm Gonna Eat This Corn Dog.
[ Laughter ]
No, And If You Don't Give Me
Another Chance, I'm Just Gonna
Finish My Fruit Cup.
He's Allergic To Onions.
He Could Become Violently Ill Or
Even Die!
Cool.
I Hope She Says No.
I'd Really Like To See That.
Son!
Dad.
Son, What Are You Doing Up
There?
That's Samantha.
Oh.
Hi.
H-Hi, Coach Bronko.
How You Doin'?
I'm Okay.
I'm Gonna Eat This Onion!
Son, You're Allergic To
Onions!
I Know!
Eat It! Eat It! Eat It!
No, There's Nothing That's
Stopping Me Now -- Not Unless I
Hear Something From Samantha
About It, But...
Payton.
...I Don't Hear Anything...
Payton?
...So It's Getting Really --
Payton!
What?
You Had Me At "I Have A Very
Large Onion."
[ Chuckles ]
[ Crowd Groaning ]
[ Squeals ]
[ Both Gasp ]
Dork Love Is In The Air!
Oww!
Kiss Me So You Can't Say
Anything Else Stupid.
You Know, This Is A Blatant
Violation Of The School's
"Public Displays Of Affection"
Ban.
I'll Tell You What.
What?
Just Saw, I Won't Bring Up Your
Thunder From Down Under At The
Next Faculty Meeting.
I'll Tell You What.
How About We Just Forget
Everything And You Take Me Out
To Dinner This Weekend?
Well, I-I...
How 'Bout Saturday Night?
Sounds Good.
Oh, Great.
Just So You Know -- Doing
Things Quickly Is Not A Trait
Women Are Always Looking For In
A Man, If You Get My Drift.
[ Giggles ]
Wow!
This Is Kicking Taco Day's Ass.
I Am Awesome.
Yeah. Yeah, You Are.
You Are One Loveable Dork,
Payton.
High School's Awesome!
[ Giggles ]
I Got The Girl, I Got The
Respect Of My Classmates, And
Even My Dad Was Happy For Me.
I Guess In The End, He Was
Right.
I Mean, You're Never A Loser
Until You Quit Trying.
And If You Know What You Want,
Even If It's Not The Same Thing
Beginning, Why Not Keep Trying
For It?
So, That's My Story.
And Somewhere Along The Way, I
Realized That There Are A Lot
Like Me.
[ Laughter ]
And They Might Also Want To
Know Some Of My Secrets.
You're Probably Gonna Be A
Teen Mom.
Besides, Dorks Are "In" Right
Now.
This Whole Time That I Was
Trying To Be A Superhero, I
Be...Myself.
I Mean, What's The Worst That
Can Happen?
Well, I Mean, The '85 Bears
Were The Best Chicago Football
Team Ever, And It Was Because --
They Were Amazing.
Mike Ditka.
Uh-Huh.
He Brought Them To The
Super Bowl.
Hey And Hello, Everybody.
Welcome To Ditka's.
Hello, Mr. Ditka.
How's The Food?
Really Good.
It's Really Delicious.
That Little Kick.
[ Choking, Coughing ]
[ The Features' "Lions" Plays ]
You May Find Yourself
Angry At The Things I Do
Things I Put You Through
Hope You're Able To
Forgive Me Like I Forgive You
I Forgive You
[ Gasps ]
Mmm. Snickers.
Aw, Come Here, Big Boy!
Can I Have A Little Bit Of
