Just forget you ever

heard that name, okay?

- Why? What's the big...

- I said forget it.

Hey, chill, Tina.

Graves is the one who

brought her up, remember?

Yeah, Tina.

Hannah didn't know.

Well, I wish we didn't

either, so she's the lucky one,

And principal graves can go

screw a heard of heifers

For all I care, so let's

just drop it.

Don't forget, girls.

6:
30 sharp on the field.

I'm such a skank.

HANNAH:
I don't know how

you guys put up with her.

BLAINE:
Hey.

You guys up for a

pre-Game shake at the shack?

LINDA:
Wow. Sounds like a plan.

HEATHER:
You guys coming?

No. Y'all go ahead.

I'm on a diet.

All right.

I'll see you at the game.

HANNAH:
What is with her?

What did I say?

Uh, I don't know.

She's probably on her

period or something.

Don't even sweat it.

What do you say, uh,

you and I be all like, hey

And go back to my place

before the game?

Um, I actually told

Linda and heather

We'd go get a shake.

Do you want to come?

No. I'll probably just go to

mike's and play video games

Or something, all right?

Later, babe.

Bye.

Can we say choad?

Would one of you please

tell me who the hell Ginny is

And what happened back there?

Uh, I need a shake.

Diet's off. Let's go.

(DUCKS QUACKING)

Huh, okay, so you know how

sometimes like serious sh*t

Goes down in these

little Podunk towns

And nobody ever wants

to talk about it again?

Yeah. Kind of like my

mom is with my dad.

Exactly.

Okay, so last year before

you moved here,

The principal's daughter, Ginny,

was killed Halloween night.

She was murdered?

No. She died in an accident.

It was alcohol related,

wasn't it?

That's why you

didn't want to tell me.

I mean, when we met

back in august,

You were still so upset

over your dad.

It just never felt right.

So why did Tina get

so upset earlier?

I mean, were they friends?

We were all her friends,

And I guess it's still just

hard for us to think about.

I mean, Ginny was one of the

sweetest, softest,

Most genuine people

you'd ever meet.

I don't think there was

a single person at school

Who didn't just adore her.

Hell, even Tina liked her.

She was on the cheerleading

squad, wasn't she?

That, that's why graves

looked at us so weird earlier.

I mean, Ginny was captain

of the JV squad

Since we were freshmen, and

the apple of her daddy's eye.

Yeah!

That man used to be

one easy-Going chap,

But he's been grim as

all get out ever since.

Yeah. It kind of

reminds me of my mom.

I mean, he seemed to be holding

it together pretty well today.

Yeah. Well, someone had to.

Our buddy, Ben,

Damn near fell apart right

before our very eyes.

Who's Ben?

Ben Youngblood. You know,

as in rick Youngblood,

The honky tonky farmer

dating your hot mom?

Wait.

I didn't know rick had

another son other than mark.

Well, mark was actually

a year younger than Ben was.

Ben was in our class.

Was? What happened to him?

After Ginny died,

Ben's wagon snapped

right off it's hitch.

What he means is that

Ben went to rehab

And not the kind

where celebs go.

Janitor Fred found a bunch

of downer meds in his locker.

Supposedly, it was

what was left of his mom's

Prescription pills that she od'd

on when she committed suicide

A few years back.

Diarrhea mouth.

God.

No wonder Rick's been

so sympathetic to my mom,

But I can't believe he never

mentioned he had another son.

He just didn't want to put

that on her after everything

Y'all went through with your

dad anymore than we did you.

Or maybe he told her, and

she just didn't tell you.

Parents have a

way of hiding sh*t.

I'm just saying. Okay?

So, where's Ben now?

He never responded to the rehab.

He just sits in this dark quiet

room painting portraits

Of old Ginny graves.

So he just left him there

in the nut house?

It's not a nut house.

More like extended stay

if he was suicidal.

Geez, that's heavy.

Do you guys think I should

say something to my mom?

Dude, your mom barely let

you out of the house as it is.

How do you think she's going

to respond to something like,

Hey mom, guess what?

I took some dead chick's spot

on the cheer squad today.

Runs of the mouth, remember.

Although he does have a point.

Hey, did you guys see that?

I thought I just saw something

behind those trees over there.

I don't see nothing.

Okay. Now, I'm officially

freaked.

Can we get out of here, please?

(HEAVY BREATHING)

So, you think peter will likey?

After all those slices

of sausage at Biggie's,

What I think is peter is

sausaging your stepsister.

What?

No way.

LINDA:
Why not?

Vickie's free loving

fearless screams, "screw me."

Because peter would never be

into a tree hugger like Vickie,

And likewise, Vickie would never

be into a jock like peter.

All I'm saying is I have

impeccable eyes and ears.

You wouldn't understand because

you've never been in love.

And neither have you.

Just because you been saving

yourself for Peter Paxton

Since kindergarten doesn't make

you some damn fool in love.

It just makes you a damn fool.

There's nothing

wrong with waiting

Until you've found

the right person.

Unless it means you're the only

virgin left in hogeye high.

So you think that peter

wants to screw Vickie

Because he thinks she's easy?

Not because she's easy

But because sex with her is

different then sex with you.

Sex with you is like

shooting a bunny,

Guaranteed to be

greeted with guilt.

Well, we'll see about

that tonight

When I hook up with

him, won't we?

Huh, I'll believe that

when I see it.

You and I both know the only

guy you're hooking up with

This weekend is Jesus come

church Sunday morning.

And you're one to talk.

You haven't dated

in over a year.

That's because there's

a lack of brothers

In this hick ass town.

I dated a few, but they're only

good for one thing, the booty.

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

Enter.

Hey, you guys mind if I catch a

ride with you to the game later?

But you never come to the games.

Well, maybe I want to see my

stepsister in action for once.

Or jump in your

stepsister's action.

Of course you can.

The only thing is we kind

of had plans afterward.

That's fine.

I can find my own ride home.

So you're not going to the

costume ball after all, then?

Not this year.

Apparently, Tina planned

a private party for us.

And why haven't I

heard about this?

Maybe because Tina doesn't want

the whole school to know.

Rude.

Oh, spill.

Where is it?

I don't know.

She wouldn't tell me.

LINDA:
Thank you,

thank you, thank you.

KRISSEY:
You mean to tell me

You had your hands on our

school mascot uniform,

And you didn't bring it to

come trick or treating?

JEFF:
Sorry. I had to

leave it at the school.

Someone got fake blood

all over the poncho,

But hey, if you like,

I can go get my cool

trainer T out of the car.

It's just down there.

Thanks, but I need

candy collateral,

Not a trainer with

sweaty tackles.

Yo, smarty pants.

We almost finished?

I got to get to the school soon,
