All language subtitles for Secret World of Alex Mack s03e20 The Creeper

I'm out now.

I was just an average kid until an
accident changed my life.

And since then, nothing's been the same.

My best friend Ray thinks it's cool.

My sister Annie thinks I'm a science
project.

I can't let anyone else know.

Not even my parents.

I know the chemical plant was to find me
and turn me into some experiment.

But you know something?

I guess I'm not so average anymore.

You've done a great thing by returning
to college to get your degree.

Does it bother you that you're on the
elderly side?

I'm not quite sure that elderly is the
word you're looking for, dear.

I am a little older than most of the
students, yes,

but I believe that you should never stop
learning.

As someone famous once said, life is a
journey, not a destination. And for

Barbara Hoffman Mack, that journey is
very, very interesting.

It's great.

It's classic, straight -ahead
journalism.

Barbara Mack?

I feel like I know her.

It's very good work, Alex.

Thank you.

You guys are treading on thin ice.

This is a video class.

This is not Sandbox.

Driscoll, are you ready to present your
video bio?

Um, no, sir, not quite yet. But I know
it's going to be called Me, Myself, and

I, the Louis Driscoll story.

It's all about myself.

Well, I want the three of you and Ray to
quit horsing around.

Yes, sir.

Nathan, do you have a late pass?

All right. I want everyone to pay close
attention.

But I always do everything right. I
drive. I fix the mirror. No.

You have to take a driving test again.

The reason that I love science so much
is that it's scientific.

I know it sounds like it doesn't make
any sense, but it's true.

You know, people lead such messy,
complicated lives. Their emotions always

in the way.

You know what I mean?

I know what you mean. I'm not sure I'd
buy it. There's more to life than

science, Annie.

Yeah, but you can count on science. You
can't count on people.

Hi, Dave.

How are you?

I'm fine.

There.

Okay,

remember, as Alex showed us today, a
video biography should

tell us more about a person than what we
get from a newspaper.

Would somebody please tell me what this
is all about?

Well, I need an explanation.

Nonetheless, so please tell me what is
so funny.

I'm a little disappointed, but I will
survive.

American history.

Who does this belong to?

It's mine.

Well, that was easy.

Detention.

Oh.

Hey, man.

You okay?

Not really.

A couple years ago, my license was
suspended because I got into an

I may have run over an innocent kid, and
I ruined the transmission on the

company van.

Transmission?

Wow. Yeah, they're expensive.

But it's not the money.

It's that I never got my license
reinstated.

I've been driving all over the place
without it.

And now that I have to take my test
again, I'm scared.

I hate tests.

I feel so alone.

Well,

I gotta get going. I got a paper route
to do.

Please don't leave.

From one human being to another, please
don't.

I could use a little moral support.

I'm sorry, Alex. I really am.

Well, I guess it's the price I pay for
hanging out with you guys.

You know, you could have just told him
that you knocked my book off the desk.

Yeah, I could have, but that would take
courage and honor, and, you know, that's

just not me.

I've got something for you, though.

Good for one favor.

Payable on demand?

It's an IOU.

Kind of a payback for the detention.

You name it, Alex, and I'm there for
you.

Well, thanks, Lewis, but this is only
going to be an hour, and I figure I

straighten up some video equipment for
Carrington, maybe get some extra credit.

Cool. Well, keep it. You never know.

Hey, Nathan's got detention, too.

I know.

Coach Meade gives the Creeper detention
every time he doesn't change his clothes

for P .E.

He's got this thing about getting naked,
which I have to admit I kind of

understand.

Hey, Creeper.

Lewis, leave him alone and don't call
him Creeper.

Okay. I'll talk to you later.

And say hi to the Creeper for me.

That was good, Nathan.

Really, really good.

V -I -N -G -O.

V -I -N -G -O.

V -I -N -G -O.

Guess it helps that your mom's a music
teacher, huh?

She must know how to play, like, a
million different instruments.

Oh, hey, your mom taught me clarinet in
the second grade.

Friends litched was born in Hungary.

Oh, yeah?

All right, pull out your homework,
please.

Um, I don't have any. I was hoping I
could prep the video equipment for extra

credit.

Sure, why not?

I have a parent -teacher conference
meeting.

No fooling around, okay?

There was a farmer who had a dog, and
Bingo was his name -o.

B -I -N -G -O, B -I -N -G -O, B -I -N -G
-O, and Bingo was his name

-o.

Thanks for coming down.

The fact that we can just have him from
company while I practice makes me feel

better. Hey Dave, before we go, can I
ask you a question about the accident?

Sure, I'm an open book.

Well, are they still looking for the kid
you hit?

At PV Chemical, we have a loop.

A loop?

What's a loop?

I don't know.

But anytime they start talking about
important stuff like the accident, they

say, Dave, take off.

You're out of the loop.

I just hope I get my license back.
That's all I really want.

Well, let's hit the road again.

It's hard to put your finger on it, but
it all adds up to the same thing.

Louis Driscoll.

Let's hear what others think.

Can you put it into words?

Louis's fun -loving attitude makes it
special for me to come to work. As I

always say, a day without Louis is like
a day without sunshine.

And he always lets me keep the change.

Now that's just one opinion, but I think
you'll... Creeper?

Cut it!

Two bear claws, por favor.

Creeper, we're trying to shoot a video
here, man.

I apologize, Lewis. I was not aware.

Hi, Alex.

Would you like one of my bear claws?

No, thanks.

I'm almost done with my video bio.

It's very good, and I think the entire
class will enjoy it very much.

Well, that's great, Nathan. I can't wait
to see it.

Nathan?

Here you go.

Alex, your boyfriend here just ruined my
shot.

Now remember,

we don't just deliver the news.

We understand the news.

Raymond, we need to talk.

I'm sorry to run it behind here.

It's important.

So is my route.

Hey, buddy, you fold it anymore, it
won't fit in the bag.

Well, he's a trainee. You can talk.

Listen, Ender, no uncertain terms are
you to spend any time with your new

friend. What new friend?

I think his name is Dave, and I don't
think we can trust him.

Look, Katie, I feel sorry for the guy.
Besides, he doesn't even work in the

security team anymore.

All he wants is his license.

I don't care.

Stay away from him, okay?

Got it.

Oh.

I tried to explain about Dave to Annie
that he isn't a bad guy, but she was

don't.

Well, when it comes to stuff like that,
Annie isn't normal.

But she's probably right.

Doesn't she at least have a heart?

Well, yeah, she does.

I think.

Hey, how about some more donuts?

No, six is my limit.

I don't know about you, but I'm heading
to the wigwam. All right.

Well, the essence of me is really much
more than just rolling some tape on

myself. We're talking music, effects.

Lewis, are you or are you not prepared
to show us your video bio today?

Uh, I finished my video bio.

Uh, Nathan.

Sure, go ahead.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Alex Mack,
the most wonderful, nifty girl at

High.

Everybody just loves her. She wears
pants, dresses, and all sorts of clothes

every variety of colors.

Oh, and hats, too.

She moves with the grace and beauty of a
deer.

Only their kids seem to honor her like a
goddess.

I mean, she's very funny, too.

B -I -N -G -O B -I -N -G -O B -I

-N -G -O And they go with his name.

Hey, what is that all about?

I don't know.

I'm so embarrassed.

I want to go home. I want to move. Take
it easy, okay?

Why'd you do that?

I should have never been nice to you.
You're a freak, Nathan. You made me the

joke of the entire school.

How's mom doing?

Good. Well, listen, I just wanted you to
know that I've overcome my problem.

I have a new friend named Ray.

He's a kid, but thanks to him, I think I
can pass my driving test.

And you know what that means?

It means I get a raise.

And you know what that means?

It means I can send you guys more money.

And you know what that means?

It means you can have your hip replaced.

And you know what that means?

There's nothing worse than letting
someone down.

Times like this, you could use something
special.

Double sprinkles.

How come you try and do the right thing
by someone and then it comes back to

haunt you?

People are like donuts, Alex.

If you look at them by the dozen,
they're all the same. But individually,

that's another matter.

I guess.

What do I owe you?

These are on me.

Bear claw.

Oh, hello, Nathan.

You're looking a little bit down today.

You all right?

Fine. Okay.

There you go.

Bye, Alex.

Beautiful. You know, when I first met
you, I had my doubts about you.

But... You're going to be okay.

Keep practicing.

What's up, Annie?

I was thinking, um, maybe I was wrong
about Dave.

Maybe you should help him out.

I think it'd be the right thing to do.

What? Wait, stop, go, push, pull.

I thought Dave was the enemy.

I know what I said, but I don't know.
You know, Dave has a family, too.

Why don't you go down to the plan? I
think that he might need your moral

support.

There's only one problem.

Oh, it's a telegram from my friend Ray.

Dave, stop.

Father got transferred.

Stop. Moving to Europe, I'm going to
miss your driving test.

Stop. Good luck.

Stop. Ray.

Indian thing.

Fun.

Um, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry
for all the things I said yesterday.

I guess I was just embarrassed about
what my friends might think.

You know how kids are, popularity and
all.

I mean, maybe it would have been better
if you had told me you were going to do

your piece on me.

But that doesn't really matter now.

I think you're really neat person.

I really do.

I just wanted to tell you that.

That's all.

Well, Dave, as you know, you've been on
a probationary period, but now we're

ready to give you a second chance.

What happens if I don't pass?

We'll have to fire you.

I need more time. I need to work on my
shifting. I keep getting the P and the R

mixed up.

Hey, fire up that engine.

Let's do it.

Gloria, I don't mean to be rude here or
anything, but do you have some kind of

problem with this dialogue?

It isn't believable, Lewis.

I'm not going on record as saying that
you are the foxiest guy in Paradise

Valley. Is it the word foxy that bothers
you? Because I can change that.

Oh, hi, Alex.

Can I get you something?

I'll think about it. Lewis, my IOU.

I need a favor.

I'm in the middle of something right
now.

I said I'm calling in my IOU.

Gloria, wrap up two sprinkles and a
couple low -fat milks.

Lewis and I have more to do.

Well, I've done my part.

How'd he do?

I don't know.

Why'd you decide to help him out?

I realized Dave's a person too.

Just like you and me.

Hey, right.

Bon voyage.

Mr. Driscoll, for whom the bell tolls,
you are the only student who has

yet to screen his video biography.

And I think we're all ready.

For me, myself, and I.

Mr. C, my production has spiraled out of
control.

Consequently, I did my video bio on
someone other than myself.

I understand this will come as a big
disappointment to most of you guys.

Sorry.

There are over a thousand kids that go
to our high school.

Each one of us has a style all our own,
or at least we think we do.

Sure, we may dress a little different
and stuff like that, but really, I think

we all just want to fit in.

My video biography is on Nathan Dean.

You know, the creeper.

Nathan is one single, solitary guy who
doesn't seem to mind being by himself.

Who knows what kind of stuff Nathan
really thinks about?

We may never find out.

But then again, if we're quiet and we
really listen, Nathan might surprise us.

Maybe he's not so weird after all.

What if he was actually the coolest kid
at Paradise High and we just didn't know

it?

As I said, my video is on Nathan Dean,
because guys like him remind me that

being unique really means having a style
all your own.
