I don't think this is a good idea, Fred

I decide what's a good idea.

Now pass me my driving juice.

Health class

the only place where making fun of drunk driving

was somehow educational

Fred, I think you are intoxicated

I told you, my name's not Fred, It's Francois

Drinkingbottom III

Okay Francois, I think you're drunk

Impossible

You are impaired Francois

you have had more than one drink.

Actually, I've had 10

Your blood alcohol levels are way off

And I'm underage. This mustache is fake. Out of the way seatbelt.

But Francois car accidents are the number 1

cause of teen deaths in America.

If you drink and drive terrible things can happen

- and if you don't believe me. - Look out!

I'm driving drunk full of acid!

Just look at the statistics

My name is Francois

Don't do drugs

That was the only line you got right of the script

Wow

I'm pretty sure I could win an Oscar someday

Ok, an Emmy

okay

A Golden Globe

Ok, dude, stop

Look, we're not going to get a good grade, okay

I mean, MacGrath seemed so pissed

What's with you, dude?

I don't know

Look, I just can't believe, that Alex didn't come to the game, alright

- I just don't get it - Forget her, man

OK?

Here, I've been meaning to show you this...

What's this?

That's the address to Chris Grice's house

OK, all it says is Palmer Street River Forest that's not an address

it's close enough

Grice's older brother is throwing a party on Saturday

Chris can get us in

A party?

I don't know

I don't know

what's wrong with you?

what was wrong with me was this...

I'd spent the last 10 years of my life being subjected

every anti-sex, anti-drug, anti-drinking, PSA imaginable

all designed to scare the living crap out of me

- You will die!

DARE, MADD, SADD, McGruff the crime dog, they all worked on me

Big time

And what did I know about parties?

The only parties I'd seen were in John Hughes movies

and I was scared of those too

Why is there toilet paper everywhere?

Why is that Asian dude, swinging from a tree?

Because he's at a high school party, Pete

That's what happens at high school parties

It's just a party, man

there's going to be girls there

New girls!

Maybe even public school girls...

forget Alex

we'll probably be the only freshman dudes

at this thing.

Chicks will be impressed

Hey, guys

Oh hey, missed you at our game on Saturday

Oh sorry, I couldn't get a ride

they don't have buses in Hinsdale?

I don't know

Did you guys win?

Heck yeah, my boy scored the winning touchdown

- That's great, Pete. - Yeah, thanks.

Okay, well, see ya.

What are you doing?

You're coming to this party

okay, okay, hair looks good

shirt looks, oversized, nice

Tuck-and-pull, tuck-and-pull don't be nervous, don't be nervous

now for the important stuff

I may have been forced into this party, but I wasn't going in ill-prepared.

Toothpaste, bandages, Kleenex, $27,

hand-warmer for some reason and the number of Cicero's

number one DUI lawyer, just in case

I was ready

I was petrified, but I was ready

We need a really big coat.

No officer, I have no idea what's in these bottles

I just found them on the street

and thought I'd do the right thing

by finding a trash can and disposing of them properly.

What's in this stuff anyway?

Mouthwash, pop, some kind of cooking wine. I don't know, it's booze!

- Well, what's it taste like? - What are you crazy?!

I'm not tasting the stuff, we're going to sell it

I'm going to make a fortune.

Okay, well you know we look utterly ridiculous right now, right?

Don't worry, you can ditch the coat as soon as we get there.

And where is that exactly?

Finding a party in 1994

was a lot harder than it is today.

Back then you had to get actual directions from an actual real-life person.

It's cool.

I got directions.

Which is a lot harder than it sounds.

Especially for a 14-year-old moron.

Okay, see

It's all right here.

You go down Lake Street

for like, a pretty long time.

Then look for a camper van, turn right

then turn on Palmer.

Which way on Palmer?

Oh, I don't know.

His house has an adjustable basketball hoop, though

- so just look for that. - This is bad, dude

I told my parents I was staying at your place,

I have like 10 pounds of mouthwash booze on me,

and if we get caught we're screwed.

We going to get in so much trouble man!

No way, the key to not getting in trouble

is telling yourself you won't get in trouble.

Say it, I'm Pete Hickey and I won't get in trouble.

Okay, I'm Pete Hickey and I won't get in trouble.

I'm Pete Hickey and I'm going to talk to some girls tonight

and not think about Alex.

And me and my buddy Rocco are going to make $75

and we're gonna fun and not going to trouble, say it.

- That's kinda lot to remem... - Say it!

Okay, fine, okay!

I'm Pete Hickey

I'm not gunna think about Alex

and we're going to make like 75 bucks or something.

Atta boy! See?

Now keep your eyes peeled for a camper van.

Literally, two hours later.

I can't feel my fingers.

Oh, stick 'em in the booze.

That makes no sense.

Sure it does, alcohol doesn't freeze

I'm going home dude, bye

No wait, look

A basketball hoop

Is it adjustable?

Is it adjustable?

It is! See?

The Grice's house, it's got to be.

Okay, look, look, there's no party here, okay

There's no cars or any beer cans

There's no toilet paper in the trees or anything, alright.

See that dude, yeah that dude, looks perfectly n...

- Awesome - Gross

See, this is totally the place.

Wait, wait, wait, stop, stop, look.

I can't go in there dude, I can't

Look, I'm...

I've never drink before, alright

Oh, me either

Oh, really

So, are you going to drink in there?

No way, we're freshmen, dude

- There's plenty of time for that crap later. - Okay

Wait, wait, wait

what about cops?

Come on, it's simple

You have an exit strategy and keep an eye out for headlights.

The cops always turn on the high beams because...

well, because their dumb.

Oh, okay

Oh, God!

- I can't see - Get down here!

Don't worry I have a cousin in jail

She'll hook us up, yo

Pete?

What are you guys doing?

You know... just, just smoking.

Okay, I didn't know you guys were friends with Joel.

We're friends with his little brother Chris.

Yeah man, we...

we know everyone, you know we're...

party animals.

- You're acting weird - You're acting weird

Alright, come on little dudes, let's go inside

- You all right, brother? - I'm cool

I am petrified

I don't get it

Yeah, not one person is wrestling in whipped cream like Teen Wolf.

- This sucks - I mean I don't get Alex

Look at her

I thought we weren't going to talk about her tonight

She's going to get drunk, isn't she?

Probably. Do you not want me to sell her booze?

I don't care

she can do whatever she wants

What's with you two?

she's mad at you, you're mad at her

It's like your married or something.

okay

You see those two girls over there?

I'm going to wave at them, and they're going to come over here.

- Okay, why would they do that? - Watch

Hey, so...

so, what is that stuff?

- Booze - What kind?

The best kind

I made it. You want to try some? It's a dollar

A dollar? Come on

You know what, it's free, for you.

You guys don't go to St. Roman's?

No, Hemingway

We're sophomores

- You guys party a lot or anything... - Yeah.

- Yeah, like every weekend? - Yeah

Who invited you?

One of our friends

- Eww... minty - Yeah

- Minty - Yeah, minty

Real nice minty

Hey, you're the kid everyone's calling Nicky Dick Leg or something, right?

It's... Hickey, Hickey Dick Leg

Why do they call you that?

Because he has an incredibly large penis.

Three...

Two...

One!

An hour and a half into my first high school party

and I still couldn't let myself enjoy it.

Why aren't you guys drinking?

You know, liver diseases.

Something about watching Alex flirt and

girls drink and

little Grice take his shirt off...

I hate wearing shirts!

It freaked me out.

I just kept thinking the cops would show up any minute.

They'd cuff me, bring me downtown

send me to juvie. I'd probably get shivved in the shower.

Probably never go to college.

Cops

I love this show!

You guys, "Cops" is on!

Now how long does one hide behind a tree

when the cops raid a party?

An hour?

Two hours?

The rest of his life?

Or until you realize the cops never came at all.

Of course the cops didn't come, you idiot.

There's like 20 people here.

Long Duck Dong's not hanging from trees

and Jake Ryan isn't letting Farmer Ted date rape his girlfriend.

This is just a normal, safe, real world party.

A party where you're just a dorky, little freshman

and the girl you love likes someone else.

You pussy, just leave before you embarrass yourself anymore.

Cops!

Cops!

Go, go, go, go, go

Hello, officer

Can I help you?

We've had complaints of vomiting...

That's weird. You got a warrant?

Well, now we're definitely coming in.

10-4, Checking out.

Garage is clear, heading inside.

Oh my God.

The cops must be inside.

They already checked out here, I mean, I don't think they'll check out here again.

Okay... You're freezing.

What about you?

Hand warmer.

Here you go.

Wait... You...

brought a hand warmer?

I kind of brought a bunch of stupid crap.

I didn't really know what to expect, so...

It was my first party.

Oh, me too.

Really?

Yeah, well with drinking and stuff.

I guess I just kind of assumed that you did this stuff before.

'Cause you're so popular, you know.

It's not like that.

Sure it is.

I mean, look at you.

You're like the queen of Saint Roman's

Everyone loves you.

I mean...

your life's pretty great.

Yeah.

Isn't it?

I don't know what to do with all these guys.

They're so much older.

My friends that are girls,

they don't talk to me anymore

and the girls that are here I don't even like.

I used to love soccer

and now, it's like every game is so important - I hate it.

I hate it.

Sorry, I would blame this on drinking

but frankly I haven't had anything.

I mean, I haven't either.

Why not?

Honestly?

I'm terrified

you know

I'm kind of a giant pussy.

I don't think you're a giant pussy.

Thank you, makes me feel a lot better.

Here, this thing is humongous, we can just share it.

OK

Thanks

Yeah

That's better.

This is my brother's, you know

You get one when you make varsity.

You don't get one when you make girls varsity.

I mean... still better than playing on JV, though, right?

You try being on a varsity soccer team with only freshmen.

We get pounded by schools.

I guess I never thought of that.

Which is weird considering, you know

ever since high school started, I...

I just, I lay in bed at night and I just think about stuff

like, for like hours.

Me too.

I never used to do that.

Me either.

You're a pretty cool guy, you know that

I am?

Yeah

Here

That's the hand warmer.

Thanks

You okay?

Yeah

I'll never forget it.

The smell of that sweaty old coat with whatever shampoo

she was wearing.

The way that sliver of light hit her eyes.

That moment -

it was the realest

biggest, most perfect thing that had ever happened to me.

Hey, here you are.

What the heck are you doing in here?

The cops, everyone was running...

Yeah, they're still here, looking for kids so we gotta go.

He let me borrow his coat.

You mean his brother's coat.

Come on, let's go.

I thought about running after her but I didn't.

Instead I just sat in that garage for

I don't know how long.

I wasn't hiding anymore.

I was just... thinking.

How could I be so close to something so perfect,

yet still so far away?

Why'd I let her walk away?

Why didn't I tell her how I felt?

Why was I always blowing it at the last second?

But

I did kiss her.

I did kiss Alex Campbell.

God damn, right I did.

Sports fans, tonight, Pete Hickey had become a man.

A man who'd held hands and touched lips.

A man who wasn't scared of anything or anyone anymore.

a man who...

Ah well...

first beer and first kiss in the same night, let's not push it.

When you get older

you forget about running.

You forget how good it feels.

How when the wind hits your face,

you feel so alive,

you can almost taste it.

You forget about running

just to run.

Yo!

Shush!

Who we running from?

I don't know

Cool

I kissed her.

I kissed Alex.

No way!

Shush!

- Pete Hickey! - Be quiet!

How was it?

It was amazing

What happens now?

Is she still with Justin?

No idea.

So...

Which way is home?

No idea.

Well, what do we do now?

We run 'till daylight, Hickey, We run 'tlll daylight.

Let's go.
