and then afterwards, we have the dance

and everything, and...

Like, all the other guys

are taking dates.

You're a good-lookin'

fella, uh, Trip.

Lots of girls would

go with you, I bet.

I'm not interested

in lots of girls, sir.

I'll take it up with the wife, Trip.

Do what I can.

Thank you, sir.

- It's a graph.

- Oh.

Hmm.

Uh, Trip Fontaine

and some of the...

boys on the football squad have asked to

take the girls to the homecoming dance...

- You know how I feel about that.

- Dear, I'm going to be a chaperone.

- Oh, come on, Mom, please!

Your father and I

will discuss it later.

Mr. Fontaine. may I

speak with you, please?

Now, my wife and I

have had a little talk,

and we've come to a decision

about your request.

Yes!

- I'm taking Lux Lisbon to homecoming.

All I need is three guys

to take the other girls.

- I'll give you three joints, Trip.

- Come on, Trip.

- We can take my dad's Caddy.

You gotta pick me, Tripster!

Trip, man.

you owe me.

- I saved your ass with Woodhouse.

- Thanks, Dad!

- Okay, okay.

- Who are the other boys?

- Ah, let's see.

Uh, Parker Denton

and Jake Conley...

he's a very good student, dear...

and uh, Kevin Head.

- Who's taking who?

- "Whom".

They're just gonna

raffle us off.

It didn't make any difference...

which pattern of their dream dresses

the girls each chose.

Mrs. Lisbon added an inch

to the bustline...

and two inches to the waist and hems.

And the dresses came out

as four identical sacks.

- Everybody decent?

- Yeah.

Okay. Come on.

Oh. I'm sorry.

Okay, there we go.

Okay, come on.

Together.

- And cheddar cheese.

- I think there's a leak.

- Okay, let's go.

- I'm so excited.

- Any moment.

- We ready?

- Let's go.

I'm ready, man.

Let's do it.

In the end.

Parkie won because of the Cadillac,

Kevin Head because he had

the killer weed...

and Joe Hill Conley because he won

all the school prizes,

which Trip thought would

impress Mr. and Mrs. Lisbon.

- Hello. boys.

- Hello, Mrs. Lisbon.

Come in.

- Uh, who... Who's driving?

- I am.

How long have you

had your license?

Two months, but I had my learner's

permit for a year before that.

We almost never allow the girls to go

out in cars unless it's necessary.

There are so many

accidents nowadays.

- I'm sure you will be very careful.

- Oh, yes, ma'am.

Okay, third degree's over.

Girls?

I better get going.

I'll see you at the dance, huh?

- See you there, Mr. Lisbon.

- Okay.

- Bye. dear.

See you later.

Girls?

Come on down.

The boys are here.

We got white ones.

We didn't know

what you were wearing, and the guy...

the flower guy said that white

would go with anything.

I'm glad

you got white.

Why don't you pin them on?

Yeah.

Don't stick me.

This isn't... gonna work.

- There we go. All right. Let's do it.

- All right.

- Bye, Mom.

- Bye.

Oh, my gosh, look, you guys.

Her car is there late again.

I'm sure Mr. Leo's having

an affair with the maid. I saw him...

follow her

into the laundry room.

He's so sad, that red nose.

Totally an alcoholic.

Yeah, what about the Hessens?

You know they're Nazis.

They're Nazi sympathizers,

Bonnie.

They had a fit when the Schwartzmans

tried to join the tennis club.

Nice aluminum siding.

Do they really think that looks okay?

You know Mr. Kriegers

ordered that from TV late at night.

- It's the Baldinos' barbecue stump.

- I have never seen them...

barbecue on that thing.

Actually, it's an escape tunnel

for Sammy the Shark.

It leads to a river where he

keeps his speedboat.

Yeah, Paul goes down there all the time.

He can get into anyone's basement...

through the storm sewers.

- No way.

- Yeah.

Cool.

- Dad'll smell it on you.

- No, I got mints.

He'll smell it

on your clothes.

I'll just tell him some kids

were smoking in the bathroom.

- Don't let it die a virgin.

- That's gross.

Yeah. Grow up, Conley.

# You're #

# Sailin' softly

through the sun #

# In a broken

Stone Age dawn #

# You fly #

# So high #

# I get a strange magic #

# Oh, Lord. I do #

# Strange magic #

# Oh, it's a strange magic #

# Got a strange magic #

# Got a strange magic #

- Uh, do you wanna dance?

- Sure.

# You're #

# Walking meadows

in my mind #

# Making waves

across my time #

# Oh, no #

# Oh, no #

# I get a strange magic

Oh, Lord, I do #

# Strange magic #

We've been having such lovely weather,

don't you think?

- Yeah. Yeah, it's been nice.

- # Strange magic #

# Got a strange magic #

- # Got a strange magic ##

Uh, good evening, everyone. If I could

have your attention for just a moment.

I hope you're all having a goodtime.

Sure looks like it.

- Here's the spot.

- The dance committee outdid themselves.

I'd like to open the voting

for homecoming king and queen.

The ballot box is over

at the refreshments table.

so please cast your votes, and we'll

make the announcement in a little while.

Thank you.

- Did anybody see you come in?

- No.

- What about you?

- No.

- You'll love it.

Peach schnapps. Babes love it.

# I'm not in love #

# So don't forget it #

# It's just a silly phase #

# I'm goin' through #

- That stuff tastes really good.

- # And just because #

- I don't want any. Thanks.

- # I called you up #

- Come on, just a taste. A tiny taste.

Don't be such

a goody-goody.

- # I'm not in love #

- Don't swallow it.

# No, no #

# It's because #

# I'd like to see you #

# But then again #

# That doesn't mean

you mean that much to me #

# I'm not in love #

# No, no #

# It's because ##

Can I have

everyone's attention?

I'd like you to put your hands together

for this year's king and queen...

- Trip Fontaine and Lux Lisbon!

- # Some happy, some sad #

# Think of childhood friends

and the dreams we had #

Whoo!

# Lived happily forever #

# So the story goes #

# But somehow we missed out #

All right. Luxy!

# On the pot of gold #

# But we'll try

the best that we can #

# To carry on #

# A gathering of angels #

# Appeared above my head #

# They sang to me

this song of hope #

# And this is what they said

They said #

# Come sail away

Come sail away #

# Come sail away with me #

# Come sail away

Come sail away #

# Come sail away with me ##

I'm having the best time!

- Let's go for a walk.

We better not.

I've gotta go back in a minute.

We can keep an eye on the car.

They won't leave without us.

My dad.

Just tell him you had to put

your crown in your locker.

- Hey, you see that divot there?

- Uh-huh.

That's where I reamed

this guy today, man. Cross body block.

- Really?

- Maybe they went home with your dad.

- I doubt it.

- We're cooked.

- Luxy is. We're not.

Does anyone

have any mints?

- Sorry.

- No.

Bye, Parkie.

- We'll walk you to the door.

- No. Don't.

- Why not?

- Just don't.

- Okay.

- Will you call me?

Uh, absolutely.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Bye.

Are you okay? Are you hurt?

What happened?

Where have you been?

Where have you been?

Get in the house!

I walked home alone that night.
