Tru Confessions Page #2

A Developmental Disability.

Now That We're

Starting High School,

I Think It Would Be

Really Cool

If I Could Find Some Way

To Make Him More Comfortable

And Accepted In The World.

If Anybody Has Any Ideas

On How To Help Him Out,

I'd Really Appreciate

Hearing From You.

Tru W.

[Bell Rings]

Tru:
Can You Stand It?

Billy Meyer And I

Totally Connected.

He's, Like,

The Hottest Junior Ever,

And I'm Just

A Lowly Freshman,

But He Completely

Stopped To Talk To Me.

What'd He Say?

Hey, Kid, Is There

An Assembly Today?

Wow.

That Proves It.

He Has To Be

In Love With You.

It Means

He Knows I'm Alive.

Hey, Guys,

I've Got The Dirt On Something

You Are Definitely Gonna

Want To Hear About.

I Hope It's Not

About Billy Meyer.

What About Billy Meyer?

Nothing.

She's Delirious.

She Has No Idea

What She's Talking About.

She's Right.

I'm A Total Buffoon.

Aah! Don't Tell Me

You're In Love

With That Jerk.

I'm Not, Ok?

Do You Have News,

Or Don't You?

Well, What'll

You Give Me For It?

Forget It.

[Bell Rings]

Hey, Where

Are You Going?

Homeroom's This Way.

Denise:
Come Along, Jakey.

Forgive Him.

He's New To The Planet.

Aah!

Sorry. Sorry.

[Gasps]

Sorry.

[Laughs]

My Bad. Sorry.

Yeah. No Problem.

Tru:
Could I Be

A Bigger Freak?

Tell You One Thing:

If I Had Billy Meyer

For My Boyfriend,

My Life Would Be Perfect.

Tru-Cy, I'm Home!

Hi, Honey.

How Was Your Day?

Terrible.

I Got Fired From My Job,

I Wrecked The Car,

And We're A Week Late

On The Mortgage.

Oh, Darling, How Awful.

But Why All The Presents?

As Long As I Have You

For My Sweetie,

Nothing Can Get Me Down.

All:
Aww.

Hey.

Jake:
Hey, Tru!

Hey.

Hi.

Liverwurst.

Eww.

Hey, So, Remember

The News I Said I Had?

How About We Trade?

Info For Drumstick.

Pass.

Fine.

Look, Aren't You The One

Who's Always Babbling

About Being A Big Tv Star?

Tru's Gonna Be

A Star.

A Big,

Humongous Star.

Yeah. Well,

I Might Know A Way

You Can Make That Happen.

Mom! Mom! Guess What?

It's A Miracle.

It's The Chance

Of A Lifetime!

Wtuv Is Having

A Contest For Kids,

And The Winner Gets

To Host Their Own Tv Show.

Are You Fully

Comprehending This?

I'm Gonna Be On Tv!

Well, You Know,

They're Probably

Gonna Get

A Few Hundred Entries.

So?

So I Don't Want You

To Be Devastated

If You Don't Win.

Nice Vote Of Confidence.

Thanks A Ton, Mom.

Baby, I'm Only Trying

To Be Realistic.

Well, I'd Rather

Have You Be Supportive.

Well, It Sounds Great.

Ok, Titles For

My Award-Winning Tv Show:

How About

Tru Life Adventures?

So It's Not Just

Tru Like Me,

It's True Like Real.

Get It?

No.

The Tru Troupe.

Tru Stories.

Nypd Tru.

Mad About Tru.

Tru Tales.

Tried And Tru.

True Blue Tru.

Tru Wants To Be

A Millionaire?

[Sighs]

I Need To Keep Thinking.

Teacher:
Ok, Guys,

Write This Down.

Essays On The Pearl

Are Due On Friday.

And By Monday,

I Want To Hear The Titles

And The Authors

For Your Next Book Report

So I Can Sign Off On Them.

The Answer, Jake, Is No.

Comic Books And Graphic

Novels Don't Count.

[Laughter]

What, You Didn't Know

I Was Psychic?

[Bell Rings]

All Right.

See Y'all Tomorrow.

Mr. Taylor,

I Told You About

The Wtuv Contest.

[Chuckles]

9 Or 10 Times

In The Last Few Days.

Well, I'm Doomed.

I Mean, I Really

Need Your Help,

'Cause I Want To Do

Something Original And Great,

But Every Idea

I Come Up With Stinks.

What Do I Tell You Guys

When You're Writing?

Write What You Know.

Right. So Why Not

Apply That Same Concept

To Your Filmmaking?

Forget About Being Clever.

Go For Real.

Ginny, I Got

The Photo Layout For You.

Ginny?

This Is Strange.

What Is It?

I Was Looking

For Some Information

On Music Classes

For Eddie,

And I Came

Across A Posting That Tru Put Up.

What Does She Want?

Help For Her Brother.

Really?

A Way To Make Him

Feel More Comfortable

In The World.

You Know, It Used To Be

When She Was Worried

About Stuff Like That,

I Was The One That

She Came Running To.

Not Anymore.

Sweetie, When You

Were Her Age,

How Often Did You

Confide In Your Mother?

Never.

You Know

This Is Different.

I Mean, She And I Have

Always Been So Close.

Now, It's...

All She Ever Does

Is Yell At Me.

Everything I Do Is

Either Stupid Or Wrong.

I Have No Idea

When I Turned Into

The Most Annoying Mom

On The Planet.

She's 14.

You're Lucky

She Hasn't Moved Out

Or Gotten Her Own Apartment.

Yet.

Mm-Hmm.

You Know What Sucks?

Don't Use That Word.

It Sounds Awful.

Do You Know What Stinks?

Having A Boy For A Twin

Means I'll Never

Get To Do Cool Stuff.

You Know,

Like In The Parent Trap?

We Could Never Swap Dates

Or Take Tests

For Each Other.

We Can't Even

Fool You And Dad.

What's The Point

Of Even Having A Twin?

Shouldn't You Be Focused

On Finishing

Your Homework?

Ugh. Don't You Care

That I'm Being, Like,

Incredibly Profound Here?

Eddie:
Look At Me.

I'm A Doctor Like Daddy.

Hey.

Want To See Me

Do An Operation?

We'd Love To.

Uh-Oh. Broken Brain.

[Gasps]

Paging Doctor Eddie.

Paging Doctor Eddie.

Eddie:
Broken Brain.

That Sounds Serious,

Doctor.

Shh. I'll Make You

All Better.

[Tru Screams]

Ow! No, Doctor!

You're Hurting Me.

Aah!

Rrr. Rrr. Rrr.

[Imitating Drill]

Aah!

Dad:
What's

Going On Here?

I, Um...

Eddie:
I...

It's All Right,

Eddie. It's Ok.

He Was Performing

A Very Delicate Operation.

Eddie, Those Tools

Are Antiques.

They Were A Gift

From My Father.

When Did We Decide

They Were Toys?

Mom:
He's Being Careful.

I'm Not A Doctor.

Doctors Are Mean.

Dad:
I Don't Know

What You Want From Me.

It's Like Everything

I Do With This Kid Is Wrong.

It's All About Your Tone.

Tone.

You Scare Him.

You Intimidate Him.

Well, At Least

I Don't Baby Him.

I Give Him Help

When He Needs Help.

Look...

Unless We Start

Raising The Bar,

How Can We Expect Him

To Jump Any Higher?

This May Be It, Bob.

No, I Will

Not Accept That.

Each Of These Kids

Is Different.

There's No Rule Book.

There's No Handbook.

If We Get Lazy

And Quit Pushing Him,

He's Liable

To Stop Growing

Simply Because

We Let Him.

Yeah, But He's

Already Gone

Way Beyond

People's Expectations.

Nobody Thought He'd End Up

In A Mainstream School.

Exactly, So Why Not

Rewrite All The Rules?

As Long As We Don't

Lose Sight Of Reality.

Do You Happen

To Remember What I Do For A Living?

I Face More Reality

Every Single Day

Than Most People Have

To Face In A Lifetime,

So I'd Really

Appreciate It

If You Didn't Lecture Me

On Coming To Grips With

My Son's Limitations.

Eddie!

Eddie!

[Groans]

Tru.

[Sobs]

Ok, Ok.

[Sobs]

[Sobbing]

Shh. Shh. Shh. Shh.

Ok. Ok.

Everything's Ok.

Ok, Pal, Here We Go.

You Throw It,

I Catch It.

Ok. Ready?

Fire Away.

Ok.

Strike One!

[Laughing]

Good Throw, Son.

Ok.

Ok, Here You Go. Ready?

Here We Go.

Got It.

Good Catch.

Ok.

Ok. Try And Get This One

In The Glove Right Here.

Aim Right For The Mitt.

Right For The Mitt.

Here We Go.

I Need Love
