Youth in Revolt Page #7

I've lied and manipulated

and had you sedated.

I did all that so that...

...we wouldn't have to be

alone anymore.

You're him, aren't you?

I'm him?

You're my Francois.

You're the one I've been looking for.

Sheeni...

...I want what you want.

I wanna live all over the world

and have adventures.

But I'm not Francois.

I'm the guy who saw you

and fell in love with you...

...and would do anything for you.

That's who I am.

I don't wanna give you this...

...but I don't have anything else

to discard.

Thank you very much

and here's your change.

Always shop at...

It's a wonder that humankind has

constructed any kind of civilization...

...with this monumental distraction

at hand.

Trent.

- What are you doing here?

- I brought the police.

I wasn't fooled for one second

when I saw that ugly girl walking up.

- You were lurking outside my house?

- Of course.

Protecting you.

Trent, you're a very nice person...

...but I just don't have

those feelings for you.

- You're going to jail.

- I don't wanna hurt you.

I'll only ask once that you and your

adorable sweater step away from the-

- Son of a b*tch.

- Let go of me.

- Come here, you little sh*t.

- Get off, you son of a b*tch.

- Get off of me.

- Son of a b*tch.

This is the arsonist.

All right.

Just relax.

It's over.

I might be away for a long time,

darling.

You're 16.

You're going to juvenile detention.

- You'll be out in three months.

- So you'll wait for me?

Where the hell else am I gonna go?

Well, I'm headed for a stint

in juvenile detention.

I can at least feel comforted by

the fact that I'm not going in a virgin.

And at lunchtime...

...when hardened offenders gather

to swap tales of teenage rebellion...

...I bet they'll find mine hard to top.

Sheeni says she'll wait for me...

...and that when I'm released,

we'll finally be together and free.

And I believe her.

I can feel in my heart that Sheeni

is in love with me.

Not with some fantasy lover

in a French romantic novel...

...but with me...

...Nick Twisp.

It's funny.

After all that...

...Nick Twisp was enough.
