My Friend Deedee Says

I Shouldn't Be Afraid,

Even Though People Can

Be Really Cruel Sometimes.

While We're On

The Subject Of Deedee,

Can I Tell You

Something?

What, That Deedee Can Be

Some 800-Pound Guy?

I Know. That's

What Everybody's Saying.

But You Know,

She Gets Me, Mom.

She Understands.

If You Want

My Opinion, You Have To Send In Your Tape.

Remember, Dear,

If You Show Your True Self,

You Will Be Rewarded.

[Thunder Crashes]

Both:
Oh, Powerful,

Loyal Rulers

Of Contest Entries,

Protectors Of The Deserving,

Servants Of The Talented--

Hocus-Pocus

Mumbo Jumbo.

Let's Just Get

This Puppy In The Mail.

Hey, I Need All

The Luck I Can Get.

I Can't Believe You're

Sending This Off

Without Showing Us First.

I Know, But It's

Too Late To Make Any More Changes.

Time To Let It Fly

And Be Free.

Well, It's Done.

Is Eddie Out Front?

Yes. He's Playing

Catch With Jake.

What's Done?

I Mailed My Tape.

Good For You.

Now, If You Show

Your True Self...

You Will Be Rewarded.

What?

Where Did You Come Up

With That?

With What?

The Saying.

The Phrase.

Oh.

Oh, Dear.

It's...

You're Deedee.

Tru, Let Me Explain, Ok?

You Can't!

Why Would You

Trick Me Like That?

To Make Me

Feel Stupid?

To Trap Me Into

Saying Something

So That You Could

Use It Against Me?

Whoa. Slow Down

A Second. Let Me Talk To You About This.

No! I Don't Want

To Talk To You.

I Don't Want

To Talk To You Ever!

I Hate You! I--

I Can't Believe

That You Would Do This To Me!

[Door Slams]

So How Long Do You

Think She'll Go

Before She Speaks

To Me Again?

Well, I Don't Mean

To Make You Paranoid,

But The Guinness

Records Guys Called This Morning.

They Want To Sign Her

Up For Their Parental Freeze-Out Category.

It's True. Oh...

Good Shot.

Right In The Heart.

Eddie?

Eddie?

Where Are You?

Eddie, Where Are You?

Eddie, Where Did You Go?

Another Ride.

Where'd You Get

That Hat?

Oh. Well--

[Laughing]

What, Did Mom

Buy It For You?

No.

Did Dad?

Nope.

Oh, No.

You Didn't Steal It,

Did You?

No. No, No, No.

See, They Gave It

To Me. See 'Em?

Eddie, How Many Times

Have I Told You

Not To Take Stuff

From Strangers.

Come On.

Let's Go.

Tru, They

Gave It To Me.

Uh-Huh.

They Did.

No.

Ask 'Em.

[Laughs]

What Is It?

You Like Billy Meyer.

So?

You Do!

I Know.

Excuse Me?

Excuse You Why?

Um...

Does This Belong

To You?

Uh, No.

I Told Him

He Could Keep It.

I Mean, Isn't This

"Be Kind To Retard" Week?

Besides, Why Would

We Want That Back

After All Three Of Us

Took Turns Spitting In It?

And Then You Gave It

To Him To Put On His Head?

What Is Wrong With You?

What's Wrong

With Me?

What's Wrong

With You, Freak?

I'm Beginning To Think

You're A Bigger Mental Case

Than He Is.

Aah!

Aah!

Hey! Hey!

Let's Go.

Hey! Come Back Here!

We're Leaving.

What's Wrong?

You Wouldn't Understand.

It's Sad, But True

They Don't Know You

Like I Do

You're The Gold

At The End Of The Rainbow

And It Sparkles

While You Smile

You're The Light

In The Dark

They've Never Spent

Any Time In Your Heart

But I Have

So I Do

See The Beautiful

In

You

Hmm.

[Knock Knock]

Are You All Right?

I Don't Want

To Talk To You.

Ok.

I Need To Tell You

Something.

Well, I Don't

Want To Hear It.

Well, Then You Can

Just Listen.

I'm Sorry.

What I Did Was Wrong...

And I'm Really Sorry.

I Saw Your Posting

And I Just Dove In.

I Just Wanted

To Reach You.

Fine.

So We're Ok?

Everything's All Right?

They Spit

In His Hat, Mom,

And Then They Gave

It To Him To Wear!

What?

Yeah. No--

But

Everything's Fine.

Everything's Ok.

Hi. Wtuv?

Um, I Was Just Wondering

When You'd Be Announcing

The Winner Of The "Host

Your Own Tv Show" Contest?

No. Uh, Must

Be Somebody Else.

Ok.

Sorry. Thanks.

Oh, Oh, Oh, I Can Not

Believe They Recognized My Voice.

Big Surprise,

You Practically Call

Every 2 Seconds.

I Have No Idea

What You're Talking About.

[Bell Clock Rings]

Tru,

I'm Done. Can

I Get Another One?

Sure. You Know Where

The Kids' Section Is.

Right There.

Ok.

Ok.

[Ding]

[Ding]

[Ding]

[Whispering]

[Whispering]

Tru?

Tru?

Tru?!

Tru!!

Eddie:
Tru!

Tru!

Tru!

Tru!

Tru!

Shh. This Is A Library.

Where's My Sister?

Calm Down.

No. I Have

To Find My Sister!

Wait!

Aah!

Ohh!

[Sobs]

Eddie.

Eddie, It's Ok.

It's Ok. I'm Here.

Excuse Me.

This Is A Library.

Perhaps It Would Be Better

If You Took Him Outside.

[Sobs]

Sure, Just Give Us

A Minute.

We'll Be

Really Quiet.

This Is Unbelievable.

She Said

They Need A Minute, Ok?

Just Chill.

Fine.

If You Need Any Help,

Let Me Know.

I'll, Uh,

Go Call Your Mom

And Let Her Know

We're Ready To Go.

Thanks.

It's Not Fair.

What Isn't Fair?

Um. I Want To Be Done

Being Different.

I Want To Be The Same

As Everybody Else.

Everybody's

Different, Eddie,

Not Just You.

No. No, Tru.

I'm Real Different.

You Know What?

You're Right.

You Are Different.

But If You Were

Just The Same

As Everybody Else,

You Wouldn't Get All

That Special Help In School,

You Wouldn't

Be Allowed

To Rollerblade

In The House...

And You Wouldn't Be

The Amazing Brother

That I Love.

You Mean It?

What's Wrong, Tru,

I Make You Sad Now?

What's Wrong, Tru?

Nothing.

Blow.

[Sniffs]

I Love You, Tru.

I Love You, Too, Eddie.

Tru:
Right When Eddie

Was Melting Down,

I Was Mad That

I Didn't Have My Video Camera.

Is That Awful?

You Know, Sweetie,

Don't Be So Hard

On Yourself.

You're Only A Mere

Mortal, After All.

Get Some Sleep, Ok?

Yeah.

Eddie:
Hi, Mom.

We're Home!

Ginny:
Hi.

Eddie:
Hi.

Hang On. I'm Almost

Finished Here.

Tru, There's A Letter

For You By The Phone.

Oh, No. This Is It.

It's From The Tv Station.

Mom, Did She Win

The Contest?

I Don't Know.

I Did It. I Won.

She Won?

I Knew You Could Do It.

You Know, If Kids

Start Making Fun Of Me

For All The Personal Stuff

I Showed,

It's Totally

Gonna Be Your Fault.

Man:

Where Is Dad?

Did He Not Swear

That He Would Be Here?

He Still Has

A Few Minutes. He'll Be Here.

[Sighs]

Hey, Where's Eddie?

Here Comes

The Movie Star.

Ginny:
Oh, Look At You.
