19
00:01:13,396 --> 00:01:17,597
i must say i'm honored you've chosen to spend your valuable saturday night with me.
20
00:01:17,622 --> 00:01:21,144
what happened? tom's parents send him off for more forty-watt bulbs?
21
00:01:21,169 --> 00:01:26,160
i was just craving a bit of sisterhood, so long as it doesn't involve my actual sister.
22
00:01:26,185 --> 00:01:27,255
what'd you do today?
23
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,583
i actually accomplished something... i mean, other than getting up.
24
00:01:30,608 --> 00:01:33,243
i applied to lawndale state and state university.
25
00:01:33,268 --> 00:01:37,275
really? why? i thought you wanted to go to boston fine arts college?
26
00:01:37,300 --> 00:01:40,909
i do want to go to bfac, but unlike lawndale state and state u,
27
00:01:40,934 --> 00:01:42,597
you have to have talent to get in.
28
00:01:42,622 --> 00:01:45,892
so they give you extra time to put together a killer art portfolio.
29
00:01:45,917 --> 00:01:46,823
how's that going?
30
00:01:46,848 --> 00:01:48,901
why, it's going so well that when you called to go out,
31
00:01:48,926 --> 00:01:51,737
i only cried tears of relief for ten minutes.
32
00:01:51,762 --> 00:01:54,715
what about you? still thinking about... bromwell?
33
00:01:54,740 --> 00:01:57,784
they don't really talk like that there... i hope.
34
00:01:57,809 --> 00:01:59,110
anyway, i'm applying because
35
00:01:59,135 --> 00:02:02,493
it's an outstanding university, not because the students engage
36
00:02:02,518 --> 00:02:04,970
in the rectal transport of steel rods.
37
00:02:04,995 --> 00:02:07,509
the equestrian club must be in constant pain.
38
00:02:07,534 --> 00:02:09,511
i probably won't get in anyway.
39
00:02:09,536 --> 00:02:12,198
they're big on wide-ranging extra-curriculars.
40
00:02:12,223 --> 00:02:13,886
damn well-rounded crap.
41
00:02:13,911 --> 00:02:14,839
what about your safeties?
42
00:02:14,864 --> 00:02:17,238
i've applied to raft, ellis, lloyd...
43
00:02:17,263 --> 00:02:19,941
raft's your safety? gutsy, morgendorffer.
44
00:02:19,966 --> 00:02:22,652
no, no, no. raft's my second choice.
45
00:02:22,677 --> 00:02:24,310
my parents won't think i've sent out enough
46
00:02:24,335 --> 00:02:27,580
applications if i only get rejected from one place.
47
00:02:27,605 --> 00:02:29,183
hey, raft's in boston, right?
48
00:02:29,208 --> 00:02:31,691
wouldn't it be great if we went to college in the same town?
49
00:02:31,716 --> 00:02:34,089
we could meet on the weekends to eat pizza and complain.
50
00:02:34,114 --> 00:02:37,824
well, they say college is all about broadening your horizons.
51
00:02:39,656 --> 00:02:42,629
gaaaah! six hundred dollars for shoes?
52
00:02:42,654 --> 00:02:44,832
that you walk in? on the ground?
53
00:02:44,857 --> 00:02:47,512
relax, jake. i'll take care of it.
54
00:02:47,537 --> 00:02:49,895
quinn! i want you to come downstairs and
55
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:51,145
explain yourself!
56
00:02:51,170 --> 00:02:53,332
finally, the mystery will be solved.
57
00:02:53,357 --> 00:02:55,543
sandi, i know you're not color blind.
58
00:02:55,568 --> 00:02:59,762
i'm just saying tangerine isn't as orange as... call you back.
59
00:03:00,203 --> 00:03:01,803
sorry, fashion club crisis.
60
00:03:01,828 --> 00:03:05,048
never mind. what's this six hundred dollar charge at cashman's?
61
00:03:05,073 --> 00:03:07,004
but mom, i actually saved money
62
00:03:07,029 --> 00:03:10,004
by buying faux alligator instead of real alligator.
63
00:03:10,029 --> 00:03:12,012
and i helped save the animals too.
64
00:03:12,037 --> 00:03:14,166
oh yeah, you got a thank-you note from the
65
00:03:14,191 --> 00:03:16,699
international brotherhood of alligator wrestlers.
66
00:03:16,724 --> 00:03:19,018
well, you can also save your excuses.
67
00:03:19,043 --> 00:03:20,096
the shoes are going back.
68
00:03:20,121 --> 00:03:22,478
but i can't return them. final markdown.
69
00:03:22,503 --> 00:03:23,955
however, if it makes you feel better,
70
00:03:23,980 --> 00:03:26,197
i promise never to buy on sale again.
71
00:03:26,222 --> 00:03:29,361
you're not buying anything, period, until you pay off this bill.
72
00:03:29,386 --> 00:03:32,916
i understand. i shall require a substantial increase in my allowance.
73
00:03:32,941 --> 00:03:33,689
no!
74
00:03:33,721 --> 00:03:35,571
but you know i don't have any money.
75
00:03:35,596 --> 00:03:37,408
it's why i have to buy on credit.
76
00:03:37,433 --> 00:03:38,627
let's work together, mother,
77
00:03:38,652 --> 00:03:40,744
and attack the problem at its source.
78
00:03:40,769 --> 00:03:43,650
good idea. you'll have to go out and get a job.
79
00:03:43,675 --> 00:03:46,982
uh! water.
80
00:03:47,007 --> 00:03:49,286
hope she doesn't get any on the shoes.
gah!
81
00:03:49,311 --> 00:03:52,021
sit down, jake. she's not wearing them.
82
00:03:52,046 --> 00:03:54,591
shouldn't you be working on your college applications?
83
00:03:54,616 --> 00:03:56,630
hey, yeah! you know, daria, i'd be happy to
84
00:03:56,655 --> 00:03:59,122
give your application to middleton a quick going over.
85
00:03:59,147 --> 00:04:00,763
i think i know a thing or two about
86
00:04:00,788 --> 00:04:02,911
what they like at the old alma mater.
87
00:04:02,936 --> 00:04:06,669
ummm, gee, thanks. yes... i... uh, you're right.
88
00:04:06,694 --> 00:04:10,177
i should be working on my applications. right now.
89
00:04:10,886 --> 00:04:13,645
you know, jake, just because we went to middleton
90
00:04:13,670 --> 00:04:15,396
doesn't mean daria will.
91
00:04:15,421 --> 00:04:17,325
she's applying to a lot of different places.
92
00:04:17,350 --> 00:04:20,357
oh, sure. but why would she want to go to just any old college
93
00:04:20,382 --> 00:04:22,529
when she could follow in our footsteps?
94
00:04:22,554 --> 00:04:24,302
middleton's a morgendorffer tradition.
95
00:04:24,327 --> 00:04:25,997
so's military school.
96
00:04:26,022 --> 00:04:27,404
bite your tongue, helen.
97
00:04:27,429 --> 00:04:29,786
no daughter of mine is ever going to share a latrine
98
00:04:29,811 --> 00:04:31,240
with fifty hateful boys who can
99
00:04:31,265 --> 00:04:33,740
sniff out weakness like day-old cheese.
100
00:04:33,765 --> 00:04:35,357
let's hope not, dear.
101
00:04:39,641 --> 00:04:42,876
say your prayers you marrow-sucking creatures from beyond death!
102
00:04:43,562 --> 00:04:44,376
yeah!
103
00:04:44,401 --> 00:04:46,399
how come you didn't send out the zombie sweeper?
104
00:04:46,424 --> 00:04:47,517
are you sure you're trying?
105
00:04:47,542 --> 00:04:48,438
i don't know.
106
00:04:48,463 --> 00:04:51,095
pulverizing beelzebub's flesh-eating lackeys
107
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,446
just isn't as much fun as it used to be.
108
00:04:53,471 --> 00:04:55,470
maybe there's something more uplifting on tv.
109
00:04:55,495 --> 00:04:59,315
you know, like a movie about pulverizing beelzebub's flesh-eating lackeys.
110
00:04:59,340 --> 00:05:01,806
everyone hates a message board miscreant,
111
00:05:01,831 --> 00:05:03,658
but now you can do something about it!
112
00:05:03,683 --> 00:05:07,083
flame wars: the next generation. tonight on sick, sad world!
113
00:05:07,108 --> 00:05:09,072
finally, news you can use.
114
00:05:09,097 --> 00:05:11,166
finish your college applications yet?
115
00:05:11,191 --> 00:05:12,478
all except bromwell's.
116
00:05:12,503 --> 00:05:14,214
mom and dad want to want to review the alumni section to
117
00:05:14,239 --> 00:05:15,862
make sure i didn't leave anyone out.
118
00:05:15,887 --> 00:05:17,837
that shouldn't take more than a week or two.
119
00:05:17,862 --> 00:05:20,477
so a few people in my family have gone to the school.
120
00:05:20,502 --> 00:05:22,594
that sort of thing doesn't count like it used to.
121
00:05:22,619 --> 00:05:24,533
now you actually have to know stuff to get in.
122
00:05:24,558 --> 00:05:25,923
or donate a building.
123
00:05:25,948 --> 00:05:27,939
that was my uncle, and it was only a wing.
124
00:05:27,964 --> 00:05:30,361
yeah, they probably didn't even notice.
125
00:05:30,386 --> 00:05:32,931
did you ask about going up to newtown to visit bromwell with me?
126
00:05:32,956 --> 00:05:35,283
it's cool with my mother as long as your mother's
127
00:05:35,308 --> 00:05:38,360
definitely chaperoning and we can drive up to boston afterwards
128
00:05:38,385 --> 00:05:40,635
to check out a couple of other colleges.
129
00:05:40,660 --> 00:05:42,955
that's the plan. boston's where all my safeties are.
130
00:05:42,980 --> 00:05:44,580
umm, mine too.
131
00:05:44,605 --> 00:05:45,931
hey, don't worry, daria.
132
00:05:45,956 --> 00:05:48,743
you'll get into bromwell with your incredible test scores and grades.
133
00:05:48,768 --> 00:05:51,063
i'll get in the old fashioned way: bribery and nepotism.
134
00:05:51,088 --> 00:05:55,158
gee, when you put it that way, it all sounds so fair and just.
135
00:05:59,168 --> 00:06:02,154
guys, it is so nice of you to take me out on my birthday.
136
00:06:02,187 --> 00:06:03,873
our pleasure, stacy.
137
00:06:03,898 --> 00:06:06,473
we would never leave you alone on your birthday
138
00:06:06,498 --> 00:06:07,988
without a date.
139
00:06:08,013 --> 00:06:08,817
brrrr.
140
00:06:08,842 --> 00:06:11,992
just because the rest of us had dates on our birthdays...
141
00:06:12,017 --> 00:06:13,887
um, yes, sandi. you mentioned that.
142
00:06:13,912 --> 00:06:16,418
oh, i can't believe i'm another year older.
143
00:06:16,443 --> 00:06:18,019
time goes by so fast.
144
00:06:18,044 --> 00:06:21,504
i know. just yesterday i was playing with makeup starter kits,
145
00:06:21,529 --> 00:06:24,879
and today i'm being forced out in the working world.
146
00:06:24,904 --> 00:06:28,106
and i thought these were supposed to be the carefree years.
147
00:06:28,131 --> 00:06:30,254
i know, quinn. why don't you get a job here?
148
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,231
there are lots of cute guys, and the hostesses
149
00:06:32,256 --> 00:06:34,442
get to dress up and wear hoopy earrings.
150
00:06:34,467 --> 00:06:36,942
stacy! are you suggesting that a fashion
151
00:06:36,967 --> 00:06:39,098
club member serve the public?
152
00:06:39,123 --> 00:06:41,035
stacy, tsk.
153
00:06:41,060 --> 00:06:41,863
uhmmm...
154
00:06:41,888 --> 00:06:45,518
uh, geez, sandi, it's not that bad an idea.
155
00:06:45,543 --> 00:06:47,231
this place is sort of fun, and it wouldn't be like
156
00:06:47,256 --> 00:06:50,215
the kind of job where you'd endanger your nails or anything.
157
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,246
mmmm... good point.
158
00:06:52,271 --> 00:06:54,924
fine, if you want to sully the fine name...
159
00:06:54,949 --> 00:06:55,846
surprise...
160
00:06:55,871 --> 00:06:57,461
make a wish, stacy!
161
00:06:59,930 --> 00:07:02,346
and don't worry. i'm sure that chocolate won't
162
00:07:02,371 --> 00:07:05,240
cause your sensitive skin to break out.
163
00:07:06,915 --> 00:07:08,034
yay!
164
00:07:08,059 --> 00:07:09,127
thanks, guys.
165
00:07:09,152 --> 00:07:10,432
what'd you wish for?
166
00:07:10,457 --> 00:07:11,737
ummm, nothing.
167
00:07:11,762 --> 00:07:16,748
come on, stacy. tell us! don't be your usual drippy self.
168
00:07:16,773 --> 00:07:19,389
nothing. anyway, it didn't come true.
169
00:07:23,521 --> 00:07:24,916
how'd your father's meeting at the bank go?
170
00:07:24,941 --> 00:07:28,721
not good. my dad says i can't go to vance unless they give me a scholarship.
171
00:07:28,746 --> 00:07:32,103
we can only afford state university, and they don't even have a business school.
172
00:07:32,128 --> 00:07:33,658
oh, mack. you've worked so hard.
173
00:07:33,683 --> 00:07:35,502
you've just got to get that scholarship.
174
00:07:35,527 --> 00:07:37,623
would you mind calling the committee and telling them that?
175
00:07:37,648 --> 00:07:39,935
i'll even tell them how cute you look when you study.
176
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,279
what about you? how are your applications going?
177
00:07:42,304 --> 00:07:45,662
well, i got the big ones in today. turner and crestmore.
178
00:07:45,687 --> 00:07:47,912
crestmore... the dream of dreams.
179
00:07:47,937 --> 00:07:48,591
hmmm.
180
00:07:48,616 --> 00:07:49,451
what's wrong?
181
00:07:49,476 --> 00:07:52,677
it's a top school and everything, but i'd really rather go to turner.
182
00:07:52,702 --> 00:07:54,998
your father's alma mater? he must love that.
183
00:07:55,023 --> 00:07:56,404
he doesn't know i applied.
184
00:07:56,429 --> 00:07:57,005
why?
185
00:07:57,030 --> 00:07:58,983
because he wouldn't let me go anyway.
186
00:07:59,008 --> 00:08:00,836
he says not even a great african-american
187
00:08:00,861 --> 00:08:04,171
college like turner can beat the crestmore name on a resume.
188
00:08:04,196 --> 00:08:06,983
to say nothing of the bragging rights it would give him on the golf course.
189
00:08:07,008 --> 00:08:09,022
oh, man. that sucks.
190
00:08:09,047 --> 00:08:12,716
you know, my grandmother was in the first turner graduating class to admit women.
191
00:08:12,741 --> 00:08:15,928
i'd be carrying on a tradition. plus, i'd finally get a break from having
192
00:08:15,953 --> 00:08:18,967
to be the perfect jodie doll at a mostly-white school.
193
00:08:18,992 --> 00:08:19,913
i hear that.
194
00:08:19,938 --> 00:08:21,327
i wish my father did.
195
00:08:21,352 --> 00:08:24,061
i could always transfer to crestmore after a year or two.
196
00:08:24,086 --> 00:08:26,155
at least, i'd find what turner's like.
197
00:08:26,180 --> 00:08:27,483
but his mind's made up.
198
00:08:27,508 --> 00:08:29,585
well, crestmore hasn't accepted you yet.
199
00:08:29,610 --> 00:08:32,202
hey, maybe we should both go to state university.
200
00:08:32,227 --> 00:08:34,905
then we wouldn't have to worry about how to get together on weekends.
201
00:08:34,930 --> 00:08:39,391
hi, jodie. hi, mack. you know, i applied to state university too.
202
00:08:39,416 --> 00:08:42,070
they've one of the best cheerleading squads in the country.
203
00:08:42,095 --> 00:08:42,922
god help me!
204
00:08:42,947 --> 00:08:46,087
ummm, that's nice, brittany. kevin, do you know where you're going yet?
205
00:08:46,112 --> 00:08:47,289
it's a secret, man.
206
00:08:47,314 --> 00:08:48,961
why? is the school embarrassed?
207
00:08:48,986 --> 00:08:51,258
why would it be embarrassed? i'm a qb.
208
00:08:51,283 --> 00:08:53,134
it's not like i'm a brain or anything.
209
00:08:53,159 --> 00:08:54,739
truer words were never spoken.
210
00:08:54,764 --> 00:08:56,094
thanks, man!
211
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,977
tsk, tsk. oh, kevin. well, maybe you'll find a job
212
00:09:01,002 --> 00:09:03,523
that doesn't require the ability to read and write.
213
00:09:03,548 --> 00:09:04,805
i'm so depressed!
214
00:09:04,830 --> 00:09:05,428
janet!
215
00:09:05,453 --> 00:09:06,914
do you know what today is?
216
00:09:06,939 --> 00:09:10,203
d-day, the fifth anniversary of my d-vorce.
217
00:09:10,228 --> 00:09:13,322
five years since that lazy no-good self-proclaimed man
218
00:09:13,347 --> 00:09:16,070
had his cowardly desertion of me legalized.
219
00:09:16,095 --> 00:09:17,241
janet, i'm sorry.
220
00:09:17,266 --> 00:09:18,391
you're sorry?
221
00:09:18,416 --> 00:09:21,945
you didn't spend years of your life telling him again and again
222
00:09:21,970 --> 00:09:24,281
to get his grubby hands off of the remote,
223
00:09:24,306 --> 00:09:27,469
quit his damned coughing and stop behaving like an imbecile,
224
00:09:27,494 --> 00:09:30,772
only to be tossed into the trash like a broken record!
225
00:09:30,797 --> 00:09:35,467
um, janet! i can certainly understand your, well, sadness.
226
00:09:35,492 --> 00:09:38,602
why, marriage is a sacred union that's supposed to represent
227
00:09:38,627 --> 00:09:40,687
the love and trust two people sh...
228
00:09:40,712 --> 00:09:42,336
skinny, what did you say?
229
00:09:42,361 --> 00:09:44,221
marriage is a sacred union that...
230
00:09:44,246 --> 00:09:45,203
yeeees!
231
00:09:45,228 --> 00:09:46,648
euh... yes?
232
00:09:46,673 --> 00:09:47,852
i accept!
233
00:09:47,877 --> 00:09:49,859
um, hmmm, huh?
234
00:09:49,884 --> 00:09:54,016
my silly, silly skinny. you don't have to ask again.
235
00:09:54,041 --> 00:09:56,164
yes, i will marry you!
236
00:09:56,189 --> 00:09:57,828
oh, dear!
237
00:10:01,921 --> 00:10:03,577
daria, the sloanes are here.
238
00:10:03,602 --> 00:10:06,824
remember, if i'm not back in lawndale in four days
239
00:10:06,849 --> 00:10:08,936
don't send anyone out looking for me.
240
00:10:08,961 --> 00:10:11,967
hey, is middleton is on this whirlwind college tour of yours, kiddo?
241
00:10:11,992 --> 00:10:13,622
umm, not this trip.
242
00:10:13,647 --> 00:10:18,303
oh, um, daria, you know, some people just aren't cut out for military school.
243
00:10:18,328 --> 00:10:20,905
i know, dad, but i think it's admirable the way you've
244
00:10:20,930 --> 00:10:24,131
managed to pull your life together despite that early trauma.
245
00:10:24,156 --> 00:10:26,416
hey, thanks kiddo. i... what?
246
00:10:26,441 --> 00:10:28,858
now daria, when you meet the college representatives,
247
00:10:28,883 --> 00:10:31,624
please try to be enthusiastic!
248
00:10:32,152 --> 00:10:34,366
less unenthusiastic...?
249
00:10:35,032 --> 00:10:38,506
at least promise me you won't physically assault anyone.
250
00:10:38,797 --> 00:10:41,008
relax, my pom-poms are packed.
251
00:10:41,033 --> 00:10:43,453
good attitude land here i come.
252
00:10:44,211 --> 00:10:45,524
ready?
253
00:10:46,953 --> 00:10:50,109
lindy, this is quinn. i just hired her to be our new hostess.
254
00:10:50,134 --> 00:10:53,609
great! i can really use the help. have you done hostessing before?
255
00:10:53,634 --> 00:10:56,304
actually, um, this is my first job.
256
00:10:56,329 --> 00:10:58,632
really? are you still in high school?
257
00:10:58,657 --> 00:11:02,015
umm, yeah. although, people say i dress like i'm older.
258
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:03,851
well, this isn't all that different from high school,
259
00:11:03,876 --> 00:11:06,434
except instead of telling teachers your homework isn't ready,
260
00:11:06,459 --> 00:11:08,551
you're telling customers their table isn't ready.
261
00:11:08,576 --> 00:11:10,801
and they can't take a single point off your grade.
262
00:11:10,826 --> 00:11:12,088
( laughs )
263
00:11:13,759 --> 00:11:16,693
tom, if i'd known you were going to wear those scuffed-up sneakers,
264
00:11:16,718 --> 00:11:17,974
i would have bought you new ones.
265
00:11:17,999 --> 00:11:19,286
but i just got new ones a year ago.
266
00:11:19,311 --> 00:11:21,630
that's exactly what your father would say.
267
00:11:21,655 --> 00:11:23,708
you two are so stuck in your ways.
268
00:11:23,733 --> 00:11:25,044
we're stuck in our ways?
269
00:11:25,069 --> 00:11:27,613
two sugars, a tiny slice of lemon would be dreamy,
270
00:11:27,638 --> 00:11:30,177
just place it on the saucer, dear, i don't like it in the cup.
271
00:11:30,202 --> 00:11:30,801
( laughs )
272
00:11:30,826 --> 00:11:35,208
i can't help if i'm particular about my tea. oh, look. we're here!
273
00:11:38,924 --> 00:11:40,356
boy, did i do well tonight.
274
00:11:40,381 --> 00:11:41,809
a lot of guys trying to distract their dates from
275
00:11:41,834 --> 00:11:43,653
their toupees by leaving big tips.
276
00:11:43,678 --> 00:11:45,418
hmm. must be first dates.
277
00:11:45,443 --> 00:11:46,660
really? why?
278
00:11:46,685 --> 00:11:49,445
well, not that i date inconsistent tippers,
279
00:11:49,470 --> 00:11:52,789
but some of my friends say that guys tip twenty percent on the first date,
280
00:11:52,814 --> 00:11:55,039
seventeen on the second, and fifteen on the third.
281
00:11:55,064 --> 00:11:57,000
although to be fair, a lot of people order more food
282
00:11:57,025 --> 00:11:59,851
on the third date because they're not as worried about looking like pigs.
283
00:11:59,876 --> 00:12:01,411
( both laugh )
284
00:12:01,756 --> 00:12:02,526
( laughs )
285
00:12:02,551 --> 00:12:03,781
quinn, you're a riot.
286
00:12:03,806 --> 00:12:04,732
i know!
287
00:12:04,757 --> 00:12:05,121
( laughs )
288
00:12:05,146 --> 00:12:06,912
hey, i don't know if you guys are interested,
289
00:12:06,937 --> 00:12:09,128
but my roommate and i are having a party on saturday.
290
00:12:09,153 --> 00:12:09,623
sounds cool.
291
00:12:09,648 --> 00:12:10,850
i'd love to go!
292
00:12:10,875 --> 00:12:12,550
great. let me write down my address.
293
00:12:15,731 --> 00:12:19,409
you call that a tax cut? i've seen haircuts more drastic.
294
00:12:19,434 --> 00:12:21,839
um, dad? could i talk to you a second?
295
00:12:21,864 --> 00:12:23,347
sure! what's on your mind?
296
00:12:23,372 --> 00:12:26,768
well, i've been thinking a lot about crestmore, and a lot about turner.
297
00:12:26,793 --> 00:12:30,472
turner's a great school. not nearly as elite as crestmore, though.
298
00:12:30,497 --> 00:12:33,137
that's just it. i don't want to go to an elitist school.
299
00:12:33,162 --> 00:12:34,081
sure you do.
300
00:12:34,106 --> 00:12:36,815
i want to go to a school where i fit in, where i can be myself
301
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,442
and relax for once and really focus on learning.
302
00:12:39,467 --> 00:12:42,067
i want to go to turner. at least for a year or two.
303
00:12:42,092 --> 00:12:43,770
you want to go to college to relax?
304
00:12:43,795 --> 00:12:46,575
that doesn't sound like my honor society daughter.
305
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,215
relax socially. stop being the black kid, and just being a kid.
306
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,160
i'm tired of being in the extreme minority,
307
00:12:52,185 --> 00:12:54,129
and i don't want to go to a place where people might
308
00:12:54,154 --> 00:12:56,707
think i got in just because i'm african-american.
309
00:12:56,732 --> 00:12:58,840
let people think what they want.
310
00:12:58,865 --> 00:13:00,676
but dad, you don't know what it's like.
311
00:13:00,701 --> 00:13:02,620
you went to a black high school and then to turner.
312
00:13:02,645 --> 00:13:06,340
because i had to. if i had a crestmore degree in my pocket...
313
00:13:06,365 --> 00:13:09,612
jodie, their graduates are literally running this country.
314
00:13:09,637 --> 00:13:12,260
think of how that degree can help you catapult ahead.
315
00:13:12,285 --> 00:13:15,260
i'm not saying your life won't be harder til you graduate
316
00:13:15,285 --> 00:13:17,276
but it'll be a hell of a lot easier after.
317
00:13:17,301 --> 00:13:19,417
four years versus the rest of your life.
318
00:13:19,442 --> 00:13:21,456
where is that landon spirit?
319
00:13:22,935 --> 00:13:25,928
( blowtorch welding )
320
00:13:26,589 --> 00:13:28,222
what's shaking, bacon?
321
00:13:28,857 --> 00:13:32,989
i don't smell anything. hey, cool sculpture.
322
00:13:33,014 --> 00:13:36,636
it's like a comment on the underbelly of pain... or something.
323
00:13:36,661 --> 00:13:40,435
actually, it's a comment on bfac's incredibly high admission standards.
324
00:13:40,460 --> 00:13:42,163
do you think it needs more lima beans?
325
00:13:42,188 --> 00:13:43,050
nah.
326
00:13:43,075 --> 00:13:47,599
um, why do you want to go to art college? you're already an artist.
327
00:13:47,624 --> 00:13:51,691
i know. but i want to be a starving artist, so i need to ring up more debt.
328
00:13:51,716 --> 00:13:54,450
well, i'd never go to music school.
329
00:13:54,475 --> 00:13:57,644
i wouldn't want any teachers trying to corrupt my vision.
330
00:13:57,669 --> 00:13:59,466
and that is their evil plan.
331
00:13:59,491 --> 00:14:00,827
tell me about it.
332
00:14:00,852 --> 00:14:05,143
i mean, can you imagine what spiral would sound like if we were, like,
333
00:14:05,168 --> 00:14:08,698
forced to practice, even when we don't want to?
334
00:14:08,723 --> 00:14:11,200
umm... oh, lookie, missed a spot.
335
00:14:11,225 --> 00:14:12,849
( blowtorch welding )
336
00:14:13,278 --> 00:14:16,580
there it is, tom: the place where your father and i met.
337
00:14:16,605 --> 00:14:19,121
i was a sophomore, angier was a senior.
338
00:14:19,146 --> 00:14:21,301
it was a free concert by the carpenters.
339
00:14:21,326 --> 00:14:24,608
um, i hope you weren't injured in the ensuing riot.
340
00:14:24,894 --> 00:14:27,160
well, i guess daria and i better go in for our meetings.
341
00:14:27,185 --> 00:14:28,701
don't want to get points off for being late.
342
00:14:28,726 --> 00:14:31,850
especially when we can get them off just for being ourselves.
343
00:14:31,875 --> 00:14:33,670
little chance of that, i'm sure.
344
00:14:33,695 --> 00:14:34,701
i'll see you later.
345
00:14:34,726 --> 00:14:35,350
good luck!
346
00:14:35,375 --> 00:14:36,325
thanks.
347
00:14:36,350 --> 00:14:39,180
your parents met at a free carpenters concert?
348
00:14:39,205 --> 00:14:41,382
not only that, i'm pretty sure my dad had cotton in his ears
349
00:14:41,407 --> 00:14:43,704
just in case the music got too raucous.
350
00:14:45,623 --> 00:14:48,069
hi. we have appointments to see lisa goldwin.
351
00:14:50,858 --> 00:14:54,638
so that's why the skating rink has that sign saying "clothes required."
352
00:14:54,663 --> 00:14:56,506
well, according to my grandfather, anyway.
353
00:14:56,531 --> 00:14:59,817
then again, his motto is, "never let the truth get in the way of a good story."
354
00:14:59,842 --> 00:15:01,609
tom, it was really nice meeting you.
355
00:15:01,634 --> 00:15:04,748
you too, lisa. daria, i guess it's your turn. see you later.
356
00:15:04,773 --> 00:15:08,140
come on in, daria. are you as full of bromwell lore as tom?
357
00:15:08,165 --> 00:15:11,586
um, i doubt it. he seems to be really full of it.
358
00:15:13,414 --> 00:15:17,388
daria, now that you've had a chance to drink in the campus, so to speak,
359
00:15:17,413 --> 00:15:18,594
what are your impressions?
360
00:15:18,619 --> 00:15:21,945
talk about the atmosphere? no, that's frivolous.
361
00:15:21,970 --> 00:15:24,812
the resources? no, she'll think i mean money.
362
00:15:24,837 --> 00:15:30,234
the campus? no, shallow. oh no, inappropriately long pause.
363
00:15:30,259 --> 00:15:32,140
talk. say anything.
364
00:15:32,165 --> 00:15:37,320
ummm, i like the campus, the dorms, and, um, libraries...
365
00:15:37,345 --> 00:15:39,662
the learning... feeling?
366
00:15:39,687 --> 00:15:43,131
the learning feeling? could i be any less articulate?
367
00:15:43,156 --> 00:15:45,187
yes, we like those things, too.
368
00:15:45,212 --> 00:15:47,680
tell me, daria, aside from gaining a first-rate
369
00:15:47,705 --> 00:15:50,680
education from one of the finest faculties around,
370
00:15:50,705 --> 00:15:52,608
why do you want to attend bromwell?
371
00:15:52,633 --> 00:15:54,633
should i talk about wanting to be a writer
372
00:15:54,658 --> 00:15:57,358
and hoping bromwell will help me find my voice?
373
00:15:57,383 --> 00:15:59,795
oh, god, how pretentious can i get?
374
00:15:59,820 --> 00:16:02,906
um, well, i guess i'm hoping that if i come here,
375
00:16:02,931 --> 00:16:07,633
i may be exposed to, um, points of view i never considered.
376
00:16:07,658 --> 00:16:12,448
right, education. but what are you hoping to reap from your bromwell experience?
377
00:16:12,533 --> 00:16:16,003
reap. reap? ...reap reap!
378
00:16:16,028 --> 00:16:18,061
um, i hope to reap...
379
00:16:18,086 --> 00:16:20,194
god, what does she want?
380
00:16:20,219 --> 00:16:22,617
ummm, a chance to grow...?
381
00:16:22,642 --> 00:16:24,023
i did not say that!
382
00:16:24,048 --> 00:16:25,047
you're asking me?
383
00:16:25,072 --> 00:16:29,640
um, well, i think at bromwell, i can, umm...
384
00:16:30,281 --> 00:16:31,898
find your voice, perhaps?
385
00:16:31,923 --> 00:16:35,851
umm, yes, exactly. find my voice.
386
00:16:35,876 --> 00:16:40,615
note to self: stop thinking so much, morgendorffer, you idiot!
387
00:16:40,836 --> 00:16:42,748
daria, is everything all right?
388
00:16:42,773 --> 00:16:46,195
ummm, do you think we might possibly start over,
389
00:16:46,220 --> 00:16:48,789
and this time, i'll just answer your questions instead of
390
00:16:48,814 --> 00:16:52,609
agonizing over them internally and then blurting out something asinine?
391
00:16:52,634 --> 00:16:53,379
( laughs )
392
00:16:53,404 --> 00:16:54,190
sure.
393
00:16:55,414 --> 00:16:57,828
and so i seated this one couple right next to this other couple,
394
00:16:57,853 --> 00:16:59,805
and all of a sudden, the guy at the first table started
395
00:16:59,830 --> 00:17:01,773
screaming at the girl at the second table.
396
00:17:01,798 --> 00:17:04,586
i mean, how was i to know that she dumped that guy for the other one?
397
00:17:04,611 --> 00:17:05,975
quinn, that's terrible!
398
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,587
i know! the first guy was a lot cuter. hey sandi!
399
00:17:09,612 --> 00:17:10,673
how are you?
400
00:17:11,765 --> 00:17:13,205
what did you say sandi?
401
00:17:14,284 --> 00:17:15,993
whaaat?
402
00:17:18,914 --> 00:17:24,837
can't talk. laryngitis. sandi! you lost your voice!
403
00:17:24,862 --> 00:17:25,550
( gasps )
404
00:17:27,011 --> 00:17:30,417
so once i stopped worrying about what to say and just said it,
405
00:17:30,442 --> 00:17:32,136
i thought the interview went okay,
406
00:17:32,161 --> 00:17:35,135
but by then, i'd used up five of my fifteen minutes.
407
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,042
your interview was only fifteen minutes? i mean...
408
00:17:38,339 --> 00:17:42,749
ummm, we should probably get going if we want to make boston by dinner.
409
00:17:42,774 --> 00:17:44,141
right. um, mom? we should be...
410
00:17:44,166 --> 00:17:46,461
look, tom. it's bill woods.
411
00:17:46,486 --> 00:17:48,617
you're right. he's a lit professor here;
412
00:17:48,642 --> 00:17:50,727
he was also in the lawn tennis team with my father.
413
00:17:50,752 --> 00:17:51,727
of course.
414
00:17:51,752 --> 00:17:54,320
kay! tom! i don't believe it!
415
00:17:54,345 --> 00:17:56,109
why didn't you tell me you were coming to town?
416
00:17:56,134 --> 00:17:58,453
well, i knew we'd only be here for the day, but...
417
00:17:58,478 --> 00:18:00,024
please, bill, do join us!
418
00:18:00,049 --> 00:18:01,914
actually, i'm on my way to a meeting.
419
00:18:01,939 --> 00:18:04,875
macarthur winners get so testy if they're kept waiting.
420
00:18:04,900 --> 00:18:06,291
how about lunch tomorrow?
421
00:18:07,039 --> 00:18:07,953
umm, mom?
422
00:18:07,978 --> 00:18:11,578
we'd love to, but i'm afraid we have to go to boston and look at some other schools.
423
00:18:11,603 --> 00:18:13,813
really? you mean there are other schools?
424
00:18:13,838 --> 00:18:14,913
( laughs )
425
00:18:14,938 --> 00:18:16,282
oh, i'm sorry.
426
00:18:16,307 --> 00:18:18,945
professor woods this is daria morgendorffer.
427
00:18:18,970 --> 00:18:20,547
daria, professor woods.
428
00:18:20,572 --> 00:18:21,359
hello.
429
00:18:21,384 --> 00:18:24,063
well then, how about a 7:30 breakfast?
430
00:18:24,088 --> 00:18:26,820
you can still make boston by noon. what do you say, tom?
431
00:18:26,845 --> 00:18:28,781
you can update me on your interview here.
432
00:18:28,806 --> 00:18:32,249
maybe i can even throw a little influence your way. not that you'll need it.
433
00:18:32,274 --> 00:18:34,680
that would be great. daria had an interview, too.
434
00:18:34,712 --> 00:18:38,491
then it's a date. i'll see everyone tomorrow in the faculty dining room.
435
00:18:39,018 --> 00:18:40,899
daria, you don't mind, do you?
436
00:18:40,924 --> 00:18:42,820
umm. no, it's fine.
437
00:18:42,845 --> 00:18:45,300
you know, it never hurts to know the faculty.
438
00:18:45,325 --> 00:18:48,707
i'm sure he'd be happy to put in a good word for both of you.
439
00:18:48,732 --> 00:18:50,949
right, although he failed to say so.
440
00:18:50,974 --> 00:18:53,769
and hey about tomorrow? i don't really need to visit any more colleges,
441
00:18:53,794 --> 00:18:55,191
so we can go straight to raft.
442
00:18:55,216 --> 00:18:55,857
perfect.
443
00:18:55,882 --> 00:18:58,738
daria you'll have plenty of time to see the campus.
444
00:19:06,195 --> 00:19:09,099
mom, bill was supposed to meet us at seven-thirty. it's eight.
445
00:19:09,124 --> 00:19:12,402
i promise. if he's not here in another... there he is!
446
00:19:12,427 --> 00:19:15,662
sorry i'm a little late, but i just couldn't get my publisher off the phone.
447
00:19:15,687 --> 00:19:17,060
he does love to chat.
448
00:19:22,377 --> 00:19:24,468
well, the worst of rush hour should be over,
449
00:19:24,493 --> 00:19:26,757
so with a little luck, we'll be in boston by one.
450
00:19:26,782 --> 00:19:28,343
yeah, that'll be plenty of time.
451
00:19:30,911 --> 00:19:32,762
( horns honking )
452
00:19:32,937 --> 00:19:33,926
oh dear.
453
00:19:34,911 --> 00:19:36,284
( thunder )
454
00:19:36,309 --> 00:19:37,310
oh my.
455
00:19:38,636 --> 00:19:42,871
"and so, due to her inability to manage fashion club meetings
456
00:19:42,905 --> 00:19:46,577
and a minor part-time job, quinn has been granted permission
457
00:19:46,602 --> 00:19:53,937
to take an officially sanctioned sabtical..." "sabbactical..."
458
00:19:55,570 --> 00:20:00,109
let me help. "saaaa..."
459
00:20:01,770 --> 00:20:04,329
"vacation from her vice-presidential duties."
460
00:20:04,354 --> 00:20:05,929
ooohhh.
461
00:20:05,954 --> 00:20:06,767
( nervous laugh )
462
00:20:09,710 --> 00:20:13,162
daria, my sincerest apologies for arriving here so late.
463
00:20:13,187 --> 00:20:15,929
mom, it's not your fault. it's raining, and there was that pile-up,
464
00:20:15,954 --> 00:20:17,265
and then that really slow truck.
465
00:20:17,290 --> 00:20:20,585
well, if only i could learn to drive a little more aggressively.
466
00:20:20,967 --> 00:20:24,398
daria, if you like, maybe we could stay on an extra day.
467
00:20:24,423 --> 00:20:27,882
um, i don't think the admissions office is open on saturday.
468
00:20:27,907 --> 00:20:30,640
oh, dear. well, let's at least drive through the campus
469
00:20:30,672 --> 00:20:32,358
and try to get some sense of it.
470
00:20:34,792 --> 00:20:36,105
wow, deserted.
471
00:20:36,130 --> 00:20:37,780
well we've learned that raft students know enough
472
00:20:37,805 --> 00:20:39,445
to come in out of the rain, huh daria?
473
00:20:39,470 --> 00:20:41,710
daria, just let me know if you want to pull over.
474
00:20:41,735 --> 00:20:44,077
good thing we didn't get to bromwell this late, huh?
475
00:20:46,443 --> 00:20:50,234
janet, about our um... situation, and all.
476
00:20:50,259 --> 00:20:53,163
i was thinking... things are moving awfully fast.
477
00:20:53,188 --> 00:20:56,429
exactly. none of this long engagement crap.
478
00:20:56,454 --> 00:20:59,148
we've got to get cranking before my eggs dry up!
479
00:20:59,173 --> 00:21:01,210
janet, we really have to talk.
480
00:21:01,235 --> 00:21:05,515
we'll live at my house. your house, with all those plants and macramé...
481
00:21:05,540 --> 00:21:08,640
well, pardon my french but it's just too damn artistic.
482
00:21:08,665 --> 00:21:11,312
see, janet, that's what i mean. this talk about moving in...
483
00:21:11,337 --> 00:21:14,093
better yet we'll get rid of both our places and buy a new one
484
00:21:14,118 --> 00:21:17,491
that doesn't reek with the stench of that loser ex-husband of mine.
485
00:21:17,516 --> 00:21:21,296
now, about the honeymoon, i've always had an itch to learn parasailing.
486
00:21:21,321 --> 00:21:22,921
oh, dear!
487
00:21:24,754 --> 00:21:27,930
absolutely, eric! accidents can happen.
488
00:21:27,955 --> 00:21:30,711
listen, they're bound to have pictures of seagulls covered in oil;
489
00:21:30,736 --> 00:21:34,125
maybe we can get some pictures of sailors covered in guano.
490
00:21:34,150 --> 00:21:36,817
okay, eric, bye.
491
00:21:36,842 --> 00:21:38,786
daria, how was your trip?
492
00:21:38,811 --> 00:21:41,434
let's see. we spent so much time at bromwell
493
00:21:41,459 --> 00:21:44,629
that we only had time for the drive-by tour of raft,
494
00:21:44,654 --> 00:21:47,645
but i can safely report it has nice smooth roads.
495
00:21:47,670 --> 00:21:51,825
oh, that's a shame. but, at least you got to see bromwell. what did you think?
496
00:21:51,850 --> 00:21:55,676
well, it's pretty obvious you have to be in who's who to teach there.
497
00:21:55,701 --> 00:21:58,708
the libraries are big enough to park a jumbo jet in,
498
00:21:58,733 --> 00:22:01,771
and what can i say about the dorm room's high speed computer lines,
499
00:22:01,796 --> 00:22:04,911
except that hacking the pentagon just got a whole lot easier.
500
00:22:04,936 --> 00:22:06,115
that sounds wonderful!
501
00:22:06,140 --> 00:22:07,019
yeah.
502
00:22:07,044 --> 00:22:10,872
the only drawback is trying to find your classes through the fog of smugness.
503
00:22:10,897 --> 00:22:14,023
yes, it's a small price to pay for a bromwell education.
504
00:22:14,048 --> 00:22:16,289
remember that when i come home on break
505
00:22:16,314 --> 00:22:18,578
referring to you and dad as the farmers.
506
00:22:18,603 --> 00:22:20,640
i just mean the school's high opinion of itself
507
00:22:20,665 --> 00:22:22,586
isn't completely without merit.
508
00:22:22,611 --> 00:22:25,523
so you don't care either that i never got to see raft.
509
00:22:25,548 --> 00:22:26,233
what?
510
00:22:26,258 --> 00:22:28,679
hey, daria! guess what came in the mail?
511
00:22:28,704 --> 00:22:31,078
the middleton course catalog! and guess what?
512
00:22:31,103 --> 00:22:34,492
they've eliminated all the requirements, so you can take whatever you want!
513
00:22:34,517 --> 00:22:37,711
you know, bromwell isn't the only university in the world.
514
00:22:37,736 --> 00:22:39,859
bromwell? i was talking about middleton.
515
00:22:39,884 --> 00:22:40,905
( sighs )
516
00:22:40,930 --> 00:22:44,086
wait a minute! bromwell's not a military school!
517
00:22:44,219 --> 00:22:46,633
yeah, bromwell! great idea, daria!
518
00:22:46,658 --> 00:22:47,937
leave me alone.
519
00:22:48,130 --> 00:22:49,383
what's the matter with her?
520
00:22:49,408 --> 00:22:50,408
( exasperated sigh )
521
00:22:51,237 --> 00:22:53,950
"will you accept our gift of a dollar just to answer a few
522
00:22:53,975 --> 00:22:57,325
simple questions about potency?" yeah!
523
00:23:01,130 --> 00:23:04,362
hey, quinn, glad you could make it. these are my friends, cain and don.
524
00:23:04,387 --> 00:23:05,365
hi
how's it going?
525
00:23:05,390 --> 00:23:06,842
quinn works with me at governor's park.
526
00:23:06,867 --> 00:23:09,779
i love governor's park, they hire such pretty women.
527
00:23:09,804 --> 00:23:11,224
oh, heh...
528
00:23:11,249 --> 00:23:12,076
what's your major?
529
00:23:12,101 --> 00:23:16,060
um, i don't have a major per se. i'm kind of still in high school.
530
00:23:16,085 --> 00:23:18,443
high school? lucky... not!
531
00:23:18,468 --> 00:23:19,455
( they laugh )
532
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,193
but i'm planning on going to college.
533
00:23:21,218 --> 00:23:25,083
college is absolutely essential. the concerts and parties are so much better.
534
00:23:25,108 --> 00:23:27,741
i know. i heard "boys r guys" are coming.
535
00:23:27,766 --> 00:23:30,003
yeah. can you believe it? are they bad enough?
536
00:23:30,028 --> 00:23:31,831
euch! awful.
537
00:23:32,275 --> 00:23:36,854
yeah! they're terrible! so, what bands do you guys like?
538
00:23:39,559 --> 00:23:40,715
( camera shutter )
539
00:23:40,918 --> 00:23:46,349
i can't submit you to bfac. you suck. you all suck, too.
540
00:23:46,575 --> 00:23:47,372
( sighs )
541
00:23:47,397 --> 00:23:49,974
or maybe it's time for janey's sugar break.
542
00:23:50,981 --> 00:23:58,911
oh, look, this month's mail. wow, state university and lawndale state.
543
00:23:58,936 --> 00:24:01,435
"we regret to inform you that..."
544
00:24:03,187 --> 00:24:07,982
"due to an unprecedented number of applications..." damn.
545
00:24:08,007 --> 00:24:08,694
huh?
546
00:24:08,719 --> 00:24:11,046
both the colleges i applied to rejected me.
547
00:24:11,071 --> 00:24:14,075
i knew i shouldn't have taken the math portion of my sats.
548
00:24:14,100 --> 00:24:19,060
oh. hey, sorry. wasn't there some other college?
549
00:24:19,085 --> 00:24:22,202
bfac? they're waiting for my portfolio. hmm.
550
00:24:22,227 --> 00:24:24,379
no point in busting my ass to finish that.
551
00:24:24,404 --> 00:24:28,740
no kidding. who are these people to judge you, anyway?
552
00:24:28,765 --> 00:24:29,607
what do you mean?
553
00:24:29,632 --> 00:24:34,165
hey janey, if they could create art, they wouldn't be teaching it.
554
00:24:34,190 --> 00:24:37,113
you know, you're actually beginning to make sense.
555
00:24:37,138 --> 00:24:40,136
why waste four years learning a bunch of useless technique and theory
556
00:24:40,161 --> 00:24:43,703
i'll probably just have to unlearn if i ever want to create my own style?
557
00:24:43,728 --> 00:24:44,938
works for me.
558
00:24:44,963 --> 00:24:47,867
what's the point of lawndale state or even bfac?
559
00:24:47,892 --> 00:24:50,047
galleries won't care if i have a degree.
560
00:24:50,072 --> 00:24:52,657
in fact, i bet most artists don't go to college.
561
00:24:52,682 --> 00:24:54,016
why would they?
562
00:24:54,041 --> 00:24:56,438
unless they wanted to avoid the draft.
563
00:24:56,463 --> 00:24:58,182
or their parents made them.
564
00:24:58,207 --> 00:25:00,453
or they followed some girl there.
565
00:25:00,478 --> 00:25:02,508
or they were showing a movie. or...
566
00:25:02,533 --> 00:25:03,024
trent!
567
00:25:03,049 --> 00:25:03,578
huh?
568
00:25:03,603 --> 00:25:06,415
i've come to a decision. i'm not going to college.
569
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:07,492
good plan.
570
00:25:07,517 --> 00:25:09,664
you and i will pursue our muse together,
571
00:25:09,689 --> 00:25:11,805
hunker down here in our creative bunker,
572
00:25:11,830 --> 00:25:14,000
periodically issuing forth new works that will
573
00:25:14,025 --> 00:25:17,016
invariably rock the art and music worlds, respectively.
574
00:25:17,041 --> 00:25:21,703
hmmm. this isn't going to require me to get up for breakfast, is it?
575
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,661
and when my friend woke up, they had stolen his liver.
576
00:25:27,686 --> 00:25:29,591
that's what he said. although the way he drinks,
577
00:25:29,616 --> 00:25:31,786
it's possible he just left it in a bar somewhere.
578
00:25:31,811 --> 00:25:33,098
( they laugh )
579
00:25:33,504 --> 00:25:35,591
i wonder who her designer is?
580
00:25:35,616 --> 00:25:37,575
i know, alicia's dress is awesome!
581
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:38,661
you like it?
582
00:25:38,686 --> 00:25:40,981
sure. that's what you meant, right?
583
00:25:41,006 --> 00:25:42,075
you weren't trashing her?
584
00:25:42,100 --> 00:25:43,388
no, of course not.
585
00:25:43,413 --> 00:25:45,552
i didn't think so. you're not the type who has to build
586
00:25:45,577 --> 00:25:48,880
herself up by putting others down. i hate people like that.
587
00:25:48,905 --> 00:25:53,692
yeah, me too. this mirror is so pretty. where did you get it?
588
00:25:53,717 --> 00:25:54,372
i made it.
589
00:25:54,397 --> 00:25:56,297
really? you know how to make glass?
590
00:25:56,322 --> 00:25:57,708
i bought the actual mirror,
591
00:25:57,733 --> 00:26:00,224
but i painted the tiles and put the frame together.
592
00:26:00,249 --> 00:26:01,669
i'll make one for you if you like.
593
00:26:01,694 --> 00:26:05,200
lindy, that's really, really nice, but i can't pay you right away.
594
00:26:05,225 --> 00:26:07,317
quinn, don't be silly! it's a gift.
595
00:26:07,342 --> 00:26:09,466
i make mirrors for all my good friends.
596
00:26:09,491 --> 00:26:11,013
i'm gonna grab another beer,
597
00:26:11,038 --> 00:26:13,114
then you can tell me what color tiles you like.
598
00:26:13,139 --> 00:26:14,372
okay.
599
00:26:16,615 --> 00:26:17,711
( phone rings )
600
00:26:17,736 --> 00:26:18,423
hello?
601
00:26:18,448 --> 00:26:20,056
hey daria, up to anything?
602
00:26:20,081 --> 00:26:22,251
just my usual nefarious tricks.
603
00:26:22,276 --> 00:26:24,159
and i'm working on a short story.
604
00:26:24,184 --> 00:26:26,200
or at least it was twenty pages ago.
605
00:26:26,225 --> 00:26:28,239
want to take a break and go to the hitchcock festival?
606
00:26:28,264 --> 00:26:30,372
rope is playing. i thought a film about bumping off your
607
00:26:30,397 --> 00:26:33,223
ivy-league classmate would help us get in the spirit for next year.
608
00:26:33,248 --> 00:26:37,176
hmm. i'll admit a good murder movie never fails to cheer me up.
609
00:26:37,201 --> 00:26:39,239
how about we meet there? it'll save me some time
610
00:26:39,264 --> 00:26:41,247
if i don't have to swing by your place on the way.
611
00:26:41,272 --> 00:26:41,957
sure.
612
00:26:41,982 --> 00:26:44,028
great. see you inside at 7:30.
613
00:26:49,715 --> 00:26:50,847
( redials )
614
00:26:50,872 --> 00:26:51,599
hello?
615
00:26:51,624 --> 00:26:54,013
on second thought, i really shouldn't leave my
616
00:26:54,038 --> 00:26:57,419
protagonist all alone just after her eyeballs have burst.
617
00:26:57,444 --> 00:26:58,966
how about later in the week?
618
00:26:58,991 --> 00:27:01,255
um, okay. give me a call when you're free.
619
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:02,911
okay. bye.
620
00:27:07,492 --> 00:27:09,227
( note sliding under door )
621
00:27:09,795 --> 00:27:14,165
huh? when will ms. li stop trying to collect fingerprint samples?
622
00:27:15,766 --> 00:27:16,665
oh.
623
00:27:20,073 --> 00:27:21,728
the liquid dinner?
624
00:27:23,496 --> 00:27:25,425
i hate bad bang fluff days.
625
00:27:25,450 --> 00:27:28,250
oh, quinn! i have to talk to you about something just awful!
626
00:27:28,275 --> 00:27:31,417
um, stacy, if this is about how your little toe is all knobbly...
627
00:27:31,442 --> 00:27:34,792
not that. you know when i made that birthday wish at governor's park?
628
00:27:34,817 --> 00:27:37,946
well, i didn't mean to, but sandi was talking and it was ruining my concentration,
629
00:27:37,971 --> 00:27:40,672
and, well, i wished that she'd just shut up and then i blew out the candle
630
00:27:40,697 --> 00:27:42,250
and it was too late to take back the wish
631
00:27:42,275 --> 00:27:44,204
and then sandi came down with laryngitis!
632
00:27:44,229 --> 00:27:47,235
that's terrible! it's like that movie where that lady
633
00:27:47,260 --> 00:27:49,618
put that curse on that guy and he kept losing weight,
634
00:27:49,643 --> 00:27:52,211
although i still haven't figured out what was supposed to be bad about that.
635
00:27:52,236 --> 00:27:54,391
i don't know what to do, and i don't want to tell sandi,
636
00:27:54,416 --> 00:27:56,149
because you know how her eyes get all narrow
637
00:27:56,174 --> 00:27:58,508
and her lip curls and she gets that lizard face.
638
00:27:58,533 --> 00:28:01,352
stacy, this is easily solved. just lift the curse.
639
00:28:01,377 --> 00:28:04,055
but how do you do that? i didn't know i was cursing her!
640
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,461
god, stacy! what do i look like, a hoodoo expert?
641
00:28:07,486 --> 00:28:10,633
i don't know how to lift a curse. you're gonna have to find someone who does.
642
00:28:12,896 --> 00:28:17,655
i'm so excited! i just found out i got into great prairie state university!
643
00:28:17,689 --> 00:28:18,915
you did? me too!
644
00:28:18,940 --> 00:28:20,213
so did i!
me, too!
645
00:28:20,277 --> 00:28:23,166
wow! it was really nice of them to take all of us!
646
00:28:23,191 --> 00:28:26,330
i know! especially after everyone else said no.
647
00:28:26,355 --> 00:28:27,697
hey, how's it going?
648
00:28:27,722 --> 00:28:30,924
kevvie! guess what? practically the whole cheerleading squad
649
00:28:30,949 --> 00:28:33,463
is going to great prairie state university.
650
00:28:33,488 --> 00:28:34,549
that's nice, babe.
651
00:28:34,574 --> 00:28:36,018
wait, where are you going?
652
00:28:36,043 --> 00:28:36,986
practice.
653
00:28:37,163 --> 00:28:38,143
ooh!
654
00:28:38,168 --> 00:28:40,807
brittany? didn't you mean where's he going to college?
655
00:28:40,832 --> 00:28:42,150
hey, yeah!
656
00:28:42,175 --> 00:28:44,330
brittany, isn't football season over?
657
00:28:44,355 --> 00:28:47,057
hey, yeah! kevvie!
658
00:28:48,939 --> 00:28:51,936
hey, shake the hand of a vance university man.
659
00:28:51,961 --> 00:28:54,725
you got the scholarship? oh, mack! that's great!
660
00:28:54,883 --> 00:28:56,561
you're actually shaking my hand?
661
00:28:56,586 --> 00:28:57,592
oh, mack!
662
00:28:58,346 --> 00:28:59,530
is something the matter?
663
00:28:59,555 --> 00:29:01,874
what could be the matter? everything's perfect.
664
00:29:02,382 --> 00:29:04,999
i got into crestmore.
665
00:29:05,879 --> 00:29:08,436
crestmore took you when turner didn't? that's weird.
666
00:29:08,461 --> 00:29:10,147
i got into turner, too.
667
00:29:10,172 --> 00:29:12,725
what? but didn't you tell your father that's where you want to go?
668
00:29:12,750 --> 00:29:14,491
i tried, mack, but he's right.
669
00:29:14,516 --> 00:29:17,272
crestmore is gonna open doors for me that turner never could.
670
00:29:17,297 --> 00:29:18,889
i think it's a better choice.
671
00:29:18,914 --> 00:29:20,983
no, you don't. look at you! you're miserable!
672
00:29:21,008 --> 00:29:23,217
i don't want to talk about it anymore, okay?
673
00:29:23,242 --> 00:29:25,811
i told you, i want to go to crestmore.
674
00:29:29,421 --> 00:29:31,522
this college waiting game sucks,
675
00:29:31,547 --> 00:29:33,999
although it does provide the unexpected benefit
676
00:29:34,024 --> 00:29:37,154
of taking my mind off of every other aspect of my life.
677
00:29:37,179 --> 00:29:39,546
i know the feeling. well, i did know the feeling.
678
00:29:39,571 --> 00:29:41,132
or, at least, kind of knew the feeling.
679
00:29:41,157 --> 00:29:42,952
wait, you heard from bfac?
680
00:29:42,977 --> 00:29:44,240
um, no.
681
00:29:44,265 --> 00:29:46,040
when do you send in your portfolio?
682
00:29:46,065 --> 00:29:48,741
see, the thing is, daria, after much thought and consideration,
683
00:29:48,766 --> 00:29:51,726
i decided not to bother. i don't need college to be an artist.
684
00:29:51,751 --> 00:29:53,577
oh look, someone drove into the munsen's pool again.
685
00:29:53,602 --> 00:29:54,546
you what?
686
00:29:54,571 --> 00:29:56,554
now daria, i've talked this over with trent.
687
00:29:56,579 --> 00:29:58,273
oh, now i'm reassured.
688
00:29:58,298 --> 00:30:02,970
it's not completely my choice. i got rejected by lawndale state and state university.
689
00:30:02,995 --> 00:30:05,484
and i filled in the little lines so neatly too.
690
00:30:05,509 --> 00:30:07,000
oh, sorry.
691
00:30:07,025 --> 00:30:10,288
but you said yourself their art teachers couldn't even draw spunky.
692
00:30:10,313 --> 00:30:13,363
exactly, and if college is about placing your fate in the hands of such
693
00:30:13,388 --> 00:30:16,765
untalented dopes, it just seems like a colossal waste of time.
694
00:30:16,790 --> 00:30:18,616
besides, you know me, i gotta be footloose.
695
00:30:18,641 --> 00:30:21,234
the phrase you're looking for is screw loose.
696
00:30:21,259 --> 00:30:23,538
you can't let two rejections from places you don't
697
00:30:23,563 --> 00:30:26,273
even want to go make you afraid to try again.
698
00:30:26,298 --> 00:30:28,976
you know, daria, not everyone goes to college.
699
00:30:29,001 --> 00:30:32,218
in fact, get past the sloane-esque snobbery and you'll realize
700
00:30:32,243 --> 00:30:35,320
there are a lot of really successful people with mere high school diplomas,
701
00:30:35,345 --> 00:30:36,640
or no diplomas at all.
702
00:30:36,665 --> 00:30:39,061
i'm not saying everyone has to go to college.
703
00:30:39,086 --> 00:30:42,761
i'm saying old footloose jane lane doesn't know all there is to know yet
704
00:30:42,786 --> 00:30:46,535
about art or anything else, and may be making an ill-advised decision
705
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:51,097
to end her education based on temporary, if admittedly justified, disappointment.
706
00:30:51,122 --> 00:30:55,066
daria, you're so predictable. i knew you were going to try to talk me out of this.
707
00:30:55,091 --> 00:30:56,535
is that why you brought it up?
708
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,527
look, dr. freud, i appreciate your concern and all, but our 45 minutes are up.
709
00:31:00,552 --> 00:31:01,629
see you later.
710
00:31:02,665 --> 00:31:04,621
"sloane-esque snobbery?"
711
00:31:07,999 --> 00:31:11,014
envelope big and thick. good.
712
00:31:12,141 --> 00:31:15,428
"welcome to raft." great, one down.
713
00:31:16,733 --> 00:31:20,233
envelope small and thin. not good.
714
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:27,622
"thank you for your interest in bromwell... record number of qualified applicants..."
715
00:31:27,647 --> 00:31:29,325
waiting list!
716
00:31:29,350 --> 00:31:33,241
this year's list is exceptionally long due to the high volume of...
717
00:31:33,499 --> 00:31:35,467
well, i guess that's settled.
718
00:31:35,492 --> 00:31:37,358
daria, is everything all right?
719
00:31:37,383 --> 00:31:38,545
i got into raft.
720
00:31:38,570 --> 00:31:40,950
you did? congratulations!
721
00:31:40,975 --> 00:31:43,108
don't put on your party hat just yet.
722
00:31:43,133 --> 00:31:45,248
i've been wait-listed at bromwell.
723
00:31:45,748 --> 00:31:51,241
oh. daria, i'm sorry. although bromwell's still not out of the question.
724
00:31:51,266 --> 00:31:54,412
you're right. the entire incoming class could be stricken
725
00:31:54,437 --> 00:31:58,537
with a crippling disease, moving me up a couple of notches on the waiting list.
726
00:31:58,562 --> 00:32:02,920
honey, i know you're disappointed, but raft is a great university,
727
00:32:02,945 --> 00:32:06,959
and it's smaller the bromwell so you'll probably get more individual attention.
728
00:32:06,984 --> 00:32:10,974
says the woman who thinks bromwell is a magic carpet ride to success.
729
00:32:10,999 --> 00:32:12,272
don't patronize me.
730
00:32:12,297 --> 00:32:14,280
don't patronize me, daria.
731
00:32:14,305 --> 00:32:16,108
i haven't changed my opinion of bromwell,
732
00:32:16,133 --> 00:32:18,709
but i haven't changed my opinion of raft, either.
733
00:32:18,734 --> 00:32:20,256
it's a wonderful school.
734
00:32:20,281 --> 00:32:22,787
it's just not the wonderful school.
735
00:32:27,436 --> 00:32:28,443
one mai tai.
736
00:32:28,468 --> 00:32:31,482
don't remember the last time i made one of these, much less tasted one.
737
00:32:31,507 --> 00:32:34,599
really? they're very refreshing. quite citrusy!
738
00:32:34,624 --> 00:32:37,771
yeah, that's what our customers come in for, the citrus.
739
00:32:38,195 --> 00:32:38,905
anthony?
740
00:32:38,930 --> 00:32:41,913
timothy, forgive me if my actions are presumptuous,
741
00:32:41,938 --> 00:32:45,007
but i cannot stand idly by when a colleague and friend
742
00:32:45,032 --> 00:32:47,990
teeters on the precipice of unimaginable misery.
743
00:32:48,015 --> 00:32:51,765
no, really! it's very refreshing. the citrus adds a tang...
744
00:32:51,790 --> 00:32:56,230
i'm talking about your espousal to the she-devil who walks among us!
745
00:32:56,255 --> 00:32:57,330
umm... huh?
746
00:32:57,355 --> 00:33:00,175
you... barch... engaged!
747
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,808
eep! you sent me the card! but, how did you know?
748
00:33:03,833 --> 00:33:04,693
what'll it be, bub?
749
00:33:04,718 --> 00:33:07,290
i'll have the same, whatever it is.
750
00:33:07,315 --> 00:33:09,325
we're keeping our engagement a secret because of
751
00:33:09,350 --> 00:33:11,805
ms. li's rule about faculty fraternization.
752
00:33:11,830 --> 00:33:15,282
the one school regulation i heartily agree with!
753
00:33:15,307 --> 00:33:19,000
but i happened to overhear your proposal, or lack thereof.
754
00:33:19,025 --> 00:33:24,185
and timothy, i cannot be silent! i'm going to help you, help you be strong,
755
00:33:24,210 --> 00:33:27,641
help you stand up for yourself, help you take back the night!
756
00:33:27,666 --> 00:33:33,672
you'd do that for me? oh, anthony, i felt so scared, so alone.
757
00:33:33,697 --> 00:33:35,860
you're my best friend in the whole world.
758
00:33:35,885 --> 00:33:36,465
( sobs )
759
00:33:36,490 --> 00:33:40,844
now, now, timothy, there's no need for that. you'd do the same for me.
760
00:33:40,869 --> 00:33:43,422
oh, god, i'm getting dewy-eyed.
761
00:33:43,711 --> 00:33:47,695
( both crying )
762
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,921
( phone rings )
763
00:33:57,975 --> 00:33:58,563
hello?
764
00:33:58,588 --> 00:33:59,270
hey, daria.
765
00:33:59,295 --> 00:33:59,891
hi.
766
00:33:59,916 --> 00:34:00,555
what's the matter?
767
00:34:00,580 --> 00:34:04,781
i can't do a thing with my hair. oh, and i've been wait-listed at bromwell.
768
00:34:04,806 --> 00:34:07,282
wait-listed? nobody gets in from the wait-list.
769
00:34:07,307 --> 00:34:09,277
stop being so diplomatic, would you?
770
00:34:09,302 --> 00:34:12,092
god, i'm sorry, i didn't mean to blurt that out. i'm just shocked.
771
00:34:12,117 --> 00:34:13,687
i did get accepted to raft.
772
00:34:13,712 --> 00:34:15,813
i can't believe it. i was sure you'd get in.
773
00:34:15,838 --> 00:34:18,063
did i mention that i was accepted at raft?
774
00:34:18,088 --> 00:34:19,922
yeah. i mean, that's good.
775
00:34:19,947 --> 00:34:21,687
try to control your enthusiasm.
776
00:34:21,712 --> 00:34:24,156
i said that's good. raft's a really good school.
777
00:34:24,181 --> 00:34:29,968
hmm, what about you? you hear anything? you got into bromwell.
778
00:34:29,993 --> 00:34:31,775
that's sort of why i was calling.
779
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,431
well, surprise of surprises. a sloane at bromwell.
780
00:34:35,456 --> 00:34:37,510
hey, come on, daria. it wasn't a sure thing.
781
00:34:37,535 --> 00:34:39,455
your uncle built them a wing.
782
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,306
the only thing that might have kept you out of bromwell is a murder conviction,
783
00:34:43,331 --> 00:34:45,845
and even then, only if you'd killed the dean of students.
784
00:34:45,870 --> 00:34:48,126
hey, it's not my fault you had a shaky interview.
785
00:34:48,151 --> 00:34:52,134
yes, well, nothing like dropping a few ancestor anecdotes
786
00:34:52,159 --> 00:34:54,205
to convince them of your qualifications.
787
00:34:54,230 --> 00:34:56,759
i got into raft without any interview at all.
788
00:34:56,784 --> 00:34:58,119
i'm not gonna touch that one.
789
00:34:58,144 --> 00:35:01,103
what are you saying? i got in because they didn't meet me?
790
00:35:01,128 --> 00:35:02,197
screw you!
791
00:35:02,222 --> 00:35:03,019
( slams phone down )
792
00:35:15,192 --> 00:35:18,119
quinn, i'm so glad you wanted to see a kiss before heaven.
793
00:35:18,144 --> 00:35:20,869
i can't help myself, i'm a sucker for these tear-jerkers.
794
00:35:20,894 --> 00:35:25,869
are you kidding? i love hospital room movies. and i hate seeing them with guys.
795
00:35:25,894 --> 00:35:28,033
they always get mad because nothing blows up.
796
00:35:28,058 --> 00:35:31,244
guys love explosions and rocket attacks and death rays.
797
00:35:31,269 --> 00:35:34,658
they don't understand how much more fun it is to watch someone die slowly.
798
00:35:34,683 --> 00:35:35,627
i know!
799
00:35:35,652 --> 00:35:37,082
( both laugh )
800
00:35:45,541 --> 00:35:48,188
daria, can we finish our conversation?
801
00:35:48,213 --> 00:35:52,325
tom got into bromwell. so you see, they're not rejecting everyone.
802
00:35:52,350 --> 00:35:57,548
oh, well, some people have a certain... edge over the rest of us.
803
00:35:57,573 --> 00:36:01,860
you don't say. look, i didn't mean to snap at you,
804
00:36:01,885 --> 00:36:05,765
but you're the one who told me about the advantages of a bromwell education.
805
00:36:05,790 --> 00:36:06,993
that doesn't mean raft...
806
00:36:07,018 --> 00:36:10,290
i didn't get into the school that i wanted, and you wanted for me.
807
00:36:10,315 --> 00:36:12,445
what am i supposed to think about my prospects?
808
00:36:12,470 --> 00:36:17,867
your prospects? daria, you'll be going to your second choice college, not prison.
809
00:36:17,892 --> 00:36:22,500
look at me: i went to middleton. it's not half the school that raft is.
810
00:36:22,525 --> 00:36:23,249
what?
811
00:36:23,274 --> 00:36:27,454
middleton's not half the school that raft is, as you know damned well.
812
00:36:27,479 --> 00:36:29,977
i applied to college during the height of the baby boom.
813
00:36:30,002 --> 00:36:34,048
competition was so fierce i got rejected from my first and second choices.
814
00:36:34,073 --> 00:36:36,016
and, see, i lived to tell about it.
815
00:36:36,041 --> 00:36:36,700
hmm.
816
00:36:36,725 --> 00:36:40,188
i made the most of the education i did get, and so will you.
817
00:36:40,213 --> 00:36:45,338
raft is an excellent school. you should be very proud. i know i am.
818
00:36:45,363 --> 00:36:48,617
um, dad seems to think middleton's hot stuff.
819
00:36:48,642 --> 00:36:51,782
your father needs to maintain certain illusions about his youth
820
00:36:51,807 --> 00:36:55,800
in order to function. it's... cute.
821
00:36:55,825 --> 00:36:57,786
i hope i don't end up the same way.
822
00:36:57,811 --> 00:37:02,024
daria, you're destined for great things no matter where you go to school.
823
00:37:02,049 --> 00:37:03,075
i know it.
824
00:37:03,100 --> 00:37:07,790
hmmm. all right, then. i suppose i can stop worrying about getting into college
825
00:37:07,815 --> 00:37:10,470
and start worrying about this disgusting elitism i have
826
00:37:10,495 --> 00:37:12,626
managed to develop during the process.
827
00:37:12,651 --> 00:37:13,257
good.
828
00:37:13,282 --> 00:37:17,110
that'll keep you from worrying about what kind of weirdo you'll get for a roommate.
829
00:37:17,135 --> 00:37:18,087
mmm.
830
00:37:18,750 --> 00:37:23,194
quinn, didn't you love that movie? it was so sad when eleanor died.
831
00:37:23,219 --> 00:37:26,594
um, eleanor didn't die. her sister eileen did.
832
00:37:26,619 --> 00:37:30,990
oh, right. eileen. what should we do now? wanna to go clubbing?
833
00:37:31,015 --> 00:37:35,015
um, thanks, but i'm still in high school. you know, underaged.
834
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:36,505
oh, yeah. that sucks.
835
00:37:36,530 --> 00:37:40,214
well, look, it's so nice out, let's just pick up some wine and hang out in the park.
836
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:44,016
umm, lindy, are you sure you want more to drink? it's getting kind of late.
837
00:37:44,041 --> 00:37:47,736
that's what the morning's for. sleep. now, where is my car?
838
00:37:47,761 --> 00:37:51,273
lindy, maybe you shouldn't drive. come on, i'll call us both a cab.
839
00:37:51,298 --> 00:37:54,640
put that away. hey movie pal you're acting like i'm drunk.
840
00:37:54,665 --> 00:37:56,914
well you do seem a little, you know, tipsy.
841
00:37:56,939 --> 00:37:59,297
just happy! now let's find my car.
842
00:37:59,322 --> 00:38:02,273
lindy i'm serious. i really don't know if you should drive.
843
00:38:02,298 --> 00:38:04,218
relax, i drive like this all the time.
844
00:38:04,243 --> 00:38:04,984
really?
845
00:38:05,009 --> 00:38:08,679
well, well, if it isn't miss morgendorffer the younger.
846
00:38:08,704 --> 00:38:10,875
and who is your comely companion?
847
00:38:10,900 --> 00:38:11,788
( laughs )
848
00:38:11,813 --> 00:38:15,226
upchuck, don't get any ideas or anything, but i need a ride home.
849
00:38:15,251 --> 00:38:16,023
no, you don't.
850
00:38:16,048 --> 00:38:19,640
do my ears deceive me? a delectable damsel in distress
851
00:38:19,665 --> 00:38:23,164
reaching out to senõr suavicito in her hour of need?
852
00:38:23,189 --> 00:38:26,679
lindy, it's no big deal, he just lives around the corner from me, that's all.
853
00:38:26,704 --> 00:38:30,062
in fact, why don't you come, too? we can pick up your car tomorrow.
854
00:38:30,087 --> 00:38:31,734
do you mind driving my friend home, upchuck?
855
00:38:31,759 --> 00:38:32,813
rarrr!
856
00:38:32,838 --> 00:38:36,945
quinn, the night is so young. i think i'm gonna hit a couple of clubs after all.
857
00:38:36,970 --> 00:38:37,968
see you tomorrow.
858
00:38:37,993 --> 00:38:41,484
lindy, come on, we'll drive you to the clubs! lindy!
859
00:38:41,509 --> 00:38:45,609
i don't understand the charade about being neighbors, my lissome enchantress,
860
00:38:45,634 --> 00:38:50,744
but it concerns me not. come, allow me to escort you to my... chariot.
861
00:38:50,769 --> 00:38:54,047
get away from me, you creep. hello, cabs 'n stuff?
862
00:38:55,314 --> 00:38:57,892
( phone rings )
863
00:38:58,711 --> 00:38:59,298
hello?
864
00:38:59,323 --> 00:39:01,751
that crack i made was stupid and completely out of line.
865
00:39:01,776 --> 00:39:04,595
thank you for the bulletin, but i already knew that.
866
00:39:04,620 --> 00:39:05,501
forgive me?
867
00:39:05,526 --> 00:39:07,055
what's in it for me?
868
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,055
as a matter of fact i've got an answer for that.
869
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:10,923
let's say, for the sake of argument,
870
00:39:10,948 --> 00:39:13,751
that my family connections at bromwell did help me get in.
871
00:39:13,776 --> 00:39:17,055
i'm sure my parents would be happy to write a letter of recommendation for you.
872
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:17,882
what do you say?
873
00:39:17,907 --> 00:39:22,040
yes, virginia, there really is such a thing as noblesse oblige.
874
00:39:22,065 --> 00:39:26,040
thanks, but i'll pass. i'd rather get in on my own merits, and besides,
875
00:39:26,065 --> 00:39:28,298
i think i'm gonna like raft just fine.
876
00:39:28,323 --> 00:39:29,048
you sure?
877
00:39:29,073 --> 00:39:30,805
yeah, but thanks.
878
00:39:33,746 --> 00:39:35,340
your eight o'clock is here.
879
00:39:35,365 --> 00:39:36,368
send him in.
880
00:39:36,895 --> 00:39:39,925
come in, mack. have a seat, and congratulations about vance.
881
00:39:39,950 --> 00:39:42,508
thank you. thanks for squeezing me in before school.
882
00:39:42,533 --> 00:39:46,696
no problem, no problem. you said on the phone you wanted to talk about jodie?
883
00:39:46,721 --> 00:39:47,235
yeah.
884
00:39:47,260 --> 00:39:49,548
you're not gonna ask me for her hand in marriage, are you?
885
00:39:49,573 --> 00:39:52,095
because i'm too young to be a grandfather, mack, you understand?
886
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:55,376
grandfather? ummm, no, mr. landon, it's nothing like that.
887
00:39:55,401 --> 00:40:00,179
thank you, god! i mean... of course not. so, how can i help you?
888
00:40:00,204 --> 00:40:02,180
i hope you don't think i'm out of line but,
889
00:40:02,205 --> 00:40:05,515
jodie's been acting really unhappy lately, and i think it's because of crestmore.
890
00:40:05,540 --> 00:40:09,480
impossible! we had a long talk about it and she's really looking forward to going.
891
00:40:09,505 --> 00:40:11,955
with all due respect, sir, i don't believe that's true.
892
00:40:11,980 --> 00:40:14,705
she's been putting a lot of pressure on herself for a long time.
893
00:40:14,730 --> 00:40:18,291
i think she really needs a different kind of environment. like turner.
894
00:40:18,316 --> 00:40:18,735
( laughs )
895
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,563
how is she gonna go to turner? she didn't even apply.
896
00:40:23,483 --> 00:40:25,241
what do you mean acting unhappy?
897
00:40:25,266 --> 00:40:27,516
quiet. distracted. crying.
898
00:40:28,663 --> 00:40:30,139
you're not gonna be a grandfather.
899
00:40:30,164 --> 00:40:33,536
look, michael, we all think we know what we want when we're young.
900
00:40:33,561 --> 00:40:37,421
if jodie passes on crestmore, she'll end up regretting it for the rest of her life.
901
00:40:37,692 --> 00:40:41,107
besides, crestmore is a lot closer to vance than turner is.
902
00:40:41,132 --> 00:40:43,075
better for you if you want to see each other.
903
00:40:43,100 --> 00:40:46,482
we won't see each other if jodie has a breakdown and drops out of school.
904
00:40:46,507 --> 00:40:49,622
then it's a good thing breakdowns aren't allowed in our family.
905
00:40:49,647 --> 00:40:53,159
anyway, if she really wanted to go to turner, she'd have applied there.
906
00:40:53,184 --> 00:40:54,958
she did. she got in.
907
00:40:54,983 --> 00:40:55,704
what?
908
00:40:55,729 --> 00:40:57,864
she got in. she's afraid to tell you.
909
00:40:59,855 --> 00:41:03,050
well it was nice of tom to offer to get his folks to write to bromwell.
910
00:41:03,075 --> 00:41:06,778
it's just that the whole thing smacks of some crappy romance novel
911
00:41:06,803 --> 00:41:09,950
where the troubled young viscount decides the lowly stable girl
912
00:41:09,975 --> 00:41:11,919
is good enough for him after all.
913
00:41:11,944 --> 00:41:14,205
i always saw you as more of a scullery maid.
914
00:41:14,230 --> 00:41:16,260
and why should the sloane's seal of approval
915
00:41:16,285 --> 00:41:18,403
matter more to bromwell than my transcripts?
916
00:41:18,428 --> 00:41:20,810
"dear dean skippy, please admit daria.
917
00:41:20,835 --> 00:41:23,449
she's a fine young woman, even if she isn't one of us."
918
00:41:23,474 --> 00:41:26,622
exactly. besides, if they write a recommendation,
919
00:41:26,647 --> 00:41:30,260
it'll just make it that much worse when i do get that ultimate rejection.
920
00:41:30,285 --> 00:41:33,550
you are very wise for a humble laundress, and generous, too.
921
00:41:33,575 --> 00:41:34,985
how come you bought the pizza?
922
00:41:35,010 --> 00:41:38,130
to make you feel too guilty to storm off in a huff when i ask if
923
00:41:38,155 --> 00:41:40,591
you've sent your portfolio in to bfac yet.
924
00:41:40,616 --> 00:41:42,324
why bother? it's too late.
925
00:41:42,349 --> 00:41:43,942
not for mid-year enrollment.
926
00:41:43,967 --> 00:41:47,013
daria, i already told you. i'm just not the college type.
927
00:41:48,274 --> 00:41:52,836
oooh, a cheeseless bell pepper pizza! and you don't even like cheeseless.
928
00:41:52,861 --> 00:41:54,789
hey! nothing but the best for my babe!
929
00:41:54,821 --> 00:41:57,956
gee kevvie, i can't believe how nice you've been lately.
930
00:41:57,981 --> 00:41:59,850
well heck, your my babe!
931
00:42:00,043 --> 00:42:04,135
i just love bell peppers. you can almost hear them ringing.
932
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:07,840
hey, brit, even though you're going away to great prairie state next year,
933
00:42:07,865 --> 00:42:11,760
you'll still be my babe, right? i mean, no matter where i go? right?
934
00:42:11,785 --> 00:42:14,102
um, sure. why do you ask?
935
00:42:14,127 --> 00:42:16,358
i just want to see how deep is your love, babe.
936
00:42:16,383 --> 00:42:19,007
hey, and speaking of deep, watch this!
937
00:42:19,031 --> 00:42:25,123
i'm a clown, i'm a clown, i'm a... funny, huh babe?
938
00:42:25,148 --> 00:42:26,158
( sighs )
939
00:42:26,810 --> 00:42:30,396
i couldn't paint anything decent with that application hanging over my head, anyway.
940
00:42:30,421 --> 00:42:33,452
believe me, that portfolio would never have gotten me into bfac.
941
00:42:33,477 --> 00:42:34,005
( laughs )
942
00:42:34,030 --> 00:42:36,093
que ironico, the minute the pressure was off,
943
00:42:36,118 --> 00:42:38,435
i started doing some really interesting stuff again.
944
00:42:38,460 --> 00:42:41,544
so it's the old "reject them before they reject me."
945
00:42:41,569 --> 00:42:43,489
yeah, the same thing you're doing with bromwell.
946
00:42:43,514 --> 00:42:45,607
i was already rejected by bromwell.
947
00:42:45,632 --> 00:42:48,068
so was i. by state u and lawndale state.
948
00:42:48,093 --> 00:42:52,543
but you told me you don't care what their sucky art departments thought of your work.
949
00:42:52,568 --> 00:42:55,030
really. they're so sucky they didn't even ask to see it.
950
00:42:55,055 --> 00:42:55,757
what?
951
00:42:55,968 --> 00:42:58,958
they didn't ask to see any of my stuff, so i didn't send any.
952
00:42:58,983 --> 00:43:03,224
wait. you get rejected by schools that don't care if you have artistic talent,
953
00:43:03,249 --> 00:43:06,122
but the one that does care, you decide not to go for?
954
00:43:06,147 --> 00:43:08,788
for the same reason you're not gonna let the sloanes write a letter
955
00:43:08,813 --> 00:43:11,764
that might get you into bromwell, even though you wouldn't have to lift a finger.
956
00:43:11,789 --> 00:43:14,163
rejection sucks. you said so yourself.
957
00:43:14,353 --> 00:43:15,329
( takes deep breath )
958
00:43:15,354 --> 00:43:16,850
i'll make you a deal.
959
00:43:16,875 --> 00:43:21,064
if i prostrate myself before the sloanes and ask them for that letter,
960
00:43:21,089 --> 00:43:24,286
will you finish your portfolio and send it to bfac?
961
00:43:24,624 --> 00:43:27,284
god, daria! you must really think i have a shot.
962
00:43:27,309 --> 00:43:30,469
and all i had to do to convince you was offer myself up
963
00:43:30,494 --> 00:43:33,266
for a round of thoroughly gratuitous humiliation.
964
00:43:33,454 --> 00:43:37,172
well, i guess i wouldn't be much of a friend if i deprived you of that.
965
00:43:37,363 --> 00:43:40,977
you drive a hard bargain, morgendorffer, but you've got yourself a deal.
966
00:43:46,900 --> 00:43:47,579
hello?
967
00:43:47,604 --> 00:43:50,127
hey. you know that letter we talked about?
968
00:43:50,152 --> 00:43:51,791
you mean the one you wanted my parents to write?
969
00:43:51,816 --> 00:43:53,893
the one you offered to have them write.
970
00:43:54,182 --> 00:43:56,075
well, i guess it couldn't hurt.
971
00:43:56,100 --> 00:43:57,627
great! i knew you'd come around.
972
00:43:57,652 --> 00:44:00,205
then you know me better than i know myself.
973
00:44:00,230 --> 00:44:03,345
i'll ask my parents right now. i'm sure they do this kind of thing all the time.
974
00:44:03,370 --> 00:44:06,409
oh, good. then they can just send out the form letter.
975
00:44:06,434 --> 00:44:10,409
right. the good form letter. let me catch them before they go out. call me later?
976
00:44:10,434 --> 00:44:12,889
sure. um, thanks.
977
00:44:14,071 --> 00:44:14,826
damn.
978
00:44:17,490 --> 00:44:20,514
yo, trent! you're just in time to run me down to package-air.
979
00:44:20,539 --> 00:44:22,506
i want to get my portfolio off to bfac.
980
00:44:22,531 --> 00:44:25,623
whoa. i thought you weren't going to college.
981
00:44:25,648 --> 00:44:28,850
i changed my mind, although first i kind of have to get them to take me.
982
00:44:28,875 --> 00:44:31,107
what about focusing on your art?
983
00:44:31,132 --> 00:44:33,912
see, i can do that at boston fine arts college.
984
00:44:33,937 --> 00:44:36,560
that's why they put in the word "arts." come on, let's go.
985
00:44:36,585 --> 00:44:41,326
i don't know. i have to get used to this whole selling out thing first.
986
00:44:41,351 --> 00:44:42,717
trent, i'm not selling out.
987
00:44:42,742 --> 00:44:46,326
i'm attempting to acquire the skills and knowledge that will allow me to sell out.
988
00:44:46,351 --> 00:44:50,889
now, are you gonna give me a ride, or do i have to throw fear into the hearts of pedestrians by myself?
989
00:44:51,093 --> 00:44:52,321
( keys jangle )
990
00:44:52,986 --> 00:44:55,208
huh. see you later.
991
00:44:55,977 --> 00:44:58,139
yeah... later.
992
00:45:00,931 --> 00:45:02,373
hi, jodie. what are you doing?
993
00:45:02,398 --> 00:45:04,420
do you need me something? i'll get up.
994
00:45:04,445 --> 00:45:06,990
we just want to talk to you. about mack.
995
00:45:07,015 --> 00:45:07,779
what about him?
996
00:45:07,804 --> 00:45:09,414
he came to see me at my office.
997
00:45:09,439 --> 00:45:11,428
what? without telling me? why?
998
00:45:11,453 --> 00:45:13,240
he's got quite an imagination.
999
00:45:13,265 --> 00:45:17,654
he seems to think you want to go to turner so much you applied there behind our backs.
1000
00:45:19,533 --> 00:45:24,318
"curse begone. for the reversal and elimination of curses, spells and incantations.
1001
00:45:24,343 --> 00:45:28,151
no animals were harmed to make this product, other than the ones we sacrificed."
1002
00:45:28,176 --> 00:45:31,816
boy, i hope this stuff works, or sandi will never talk to me again.
1003
00:45:31,841 --> 00:45:37,930
actually, she'll never talk to anyone again. that's not funny, stacy!
1004
00:45:41,455 --> 00:45:44,540
sandi, i'm so sorry it took me so long, but i wanted to make sure the ice
1005
00:45:44,565 --> 00:45:46,969
in your soda was crushed enough because i know how much you hate
1006
00:45:46,994 --> 00:45:48,882
big or even medium chunks of ice.
1007
00:45:48,907 --> 00:45:51,688
you know, my mom says soda rots your teeth, but if that were really true,
1008
00:45:51,713 --> 00:45:54,499
wouldn't you see a lot more people in high school with dentures or no teeth at all,
1009
00:45:54,524 --> 00:45:55,829
just tiny little stubs?
1010
00:45:55,854 --> 00:45:58,244
stacy. eww...
1011
00:45:58,269 --> 00:46:02,485
sorry. so, um, how are the sodas? i mean, not that they shouldn't be okay.
1012
00:46:02,956 --> 00:46:03,952
( chokes )
1013
00:46:03,977 --> 00:46:06,516
ewww. what's in this?
1014
00:46:06,541 --> 00:46:10,352
oh, no! i must have given you the one with the potion.
1015
00:46:11,274 --> 00:46:13,229
( continues choking )
1016
00:46:13,949 --> 00:46:17,650
oh, sandi, i am so sorry. see, when i was blowing out my birthday candles
1017
00:46:17,675 --> 00:46:20,611
i accidentally wished you'd be, well, quiet, and then you lost your voice
1018
00:46:20,636 --> 00:46:23,322
and i was afraid to tell you so i got this curse undoer stuff
1019
00:46:23,347 --> 00:46:26,861
over the internet and i guess i used too much because i really wanted you to be cured,
1020
00:46:26,886 --> 00:46:30,630
and then tiffany got it by mistake and i am so sorry!
1021
00:46:33,007 --> 00:46:36,091
no, sandi, i swear! i didn't try to kill you!
1022
00:46:36,116 --> 00:46:39,482
see, it's only cayenne pepper, cooking oil, and some big long name.
1023
00:46:39,507 --> 00:46:42,904
sandi, you know i would never hurt anybody, especially not you.
1024
00:46:42,929 --> 00:46:45,013
i mean, i really, really care about people and please,
1025
00:46:45,038 --> 00:46:49,271
i'll do anything you want to make it up to you! just tell me what to do.
1026
00:46:50,292 --> 00:46:52,818
now, here is my kind of credit card bill.
1027
00:46:52,843 --> 00:46:56,405
no cashman's, no doo dads, just a single two-hundred dollar charge
1028
00:46:56,430 --> 00:46:59,912
to bulk cat food dot com. cat food?
1029
00:46:59,937 --> 00:47:03,944
this isn't our address... this isn't my name! damn idiot mailman!
1030
00:47:03,969 --> 00:47:09,506
jake, settle down! hmmm, from bromwell. daria, look what just came in.
1031
00:47:09,531 --> 00:47:13,795
either that's a rejection, or they printed the registration forms on microfilm.
1032
00:47:13,820 --> 00:47:16,069
now, don't jump to any conclusions.
1033
00:47:17,864 --> 00:47:21,934
well, the freshman class is full. i won't be going to bromwell.
1034
00:47:21,959 --> 00:47:22,942
oh, honey.
1035
00:47:22,967 --> 00:47:27,052
that sucks, daria! passing on a smart kid like you! they're idiots!
1036
00:47:27,077 --> 00:47:29,209
you know what? i'm not even sorry.
1037
00:47:29,234 --> 00:47:31,021
you have nothing to be sorry about.
1038
00:47:31,046 --> 00:47:36,388
stuffy arrogant... "oh, look at us, we're bromwell!"
1039
00:47:36,413 --> 00:47:41,300
but listen, middleton is a very good school. well, a pretty good school.
1040
00:47:41,325 --> 00:47:44,020
well, anyway it was good enough for your mother and me.
1041
00:47:44,045 --> 00:47:44,325
jake...
1042
00:47:44,350 --> 00:47:47,544
um, dad... about middleton... i didn't apply there.
1043
00:47:47,569 --> 00:47:51,981
you didn't? so... you're going ahead with this crazy notion about military school?
1044
00:47:52,006 --> 00:47:53,136
military school?
1045
00:47:53,161 --> 00:47:56,825
jake! what are you talking about? daria is going to raft.
1046
00:47:56,850 --> 00:48:02,028
raft? you mean, no barracks? no buzzcut? no inspection time? latrine duty?
1047
00:48:02,053 --> 00:48:04,153
training marches at 0600 hours?
1048
00:48:04,178 --> 00:48:08,317
hmmm, if raft has those things, it was pretty crafty of the brochure
1049
00:48:08,342 --> 00:48:11,388
just to show kids on the quad hanging out and throwing frisbees.
1050
00:48:11,413 --> 00:48:16,223
oh, thank god! my daughter, going to college instead of a military academy.
1051
00:48:16,248 --> 00:48:21,021
hey, raft is a damned good school. daria, you won't be sorry you did this.
1052
00:48:21,046 --> 00:48:23,170
there'll always be time for the army later!
1053
00:48:23,712 --> 00:48:27,951
you'll understand when i don't invite my roommate home for thanksgiving, right?
1054
00:48:29,241 --> 00:48:32,421
look, you crossed my name off without even calling me. see?
1055
00:48:32,446 --> 00:48:34,390
just relax, okay.
1056
00:48:37,595 --> 00:48:40,829
excuse me ma'am, we have a table for you right here.
1057
00:48:42,835 --> 00:48:43,993
how long is the wait for two?
1058
00:48:44,018 --> 00:48:45,259
table twenty-one is ready.
1059
00:48:45,284 --> 00:48:46,564
i'll seat you right now.
1060
00:48:46,589 --> 00:48:48,145
come on!
we've been waiting!
1061
00:48:48,170 --> 00:48:50,130
i'm sorry. is there a problem here?
1062
00:48:50,155 --> 00:48:52,365
that hostess seated those people who just came in,
1063
00:48:52,390 --> 00:48:53,986
and we've been waiting forty minutes.
1064
00:48:54,011 --> 00:48:57,548
my apologies. let me see what i can do, and dessert's on me.
1065
00:49:02,104 --> 00:49:03,479
hmmm.
1066
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:10,767
folks, we've been holding a table for six we can split up.
1067
00:49:10,792 --> 00:49:13,454
please, come with me and i'll get you settled right away.
1068
00:49:13,479 --> 00:49:15,899
then the three of us are gonna have a little talk.
1069
00:49:16,714 --> 00:49:17,868
what's that about?
1070
00:49:17,893 --> 00:49:20,134
oh, quinn, i'd never thought he'd find it there.
1071
00:49:20,159 --> 00:49:20,767
find what?
1072
00:49:20,792 --> 00:49:21,773
my screwdriver.
1073
00:49:21,798 --> 00:49:23,517
lindy! you've been drinking?!
1074
00:49:23,542 --> 00:49:27,329
just a little hair of the dog. i wouldn't have done it except i'm really hung over.
1075
00:49:27,354 --> 00:49:28,501
but we're at work!
1076
00:49:28,526 --> 00:49:32,024
i know. damn, damn, damn! quinn, listen to me.
1077
00:49:32,049 --> 00:49:34,399
normally, i would never, ever ask you to do something like this,
1078
00:49:34,424 --> 00:49:37,329
but i'm in college, i'm broke, i really need this job.
1079
00:49:37,354 --> 00:49:40,040
maybe if we said we think one of the bus boys left it there or something?
1080
00:49:40,065 --> 00:49:41,837
but then, won't they get in trouble?
1081
00:49:41,862 --> 00:49:44,915
ladies, shawna's gonna man your post for a while. come with me.
1082
00:49:50,050 --> 00:49:53,884
okay, i want to know whose cup this is. quinn?
1083
00:49:53,909 --> 00:49:56,001
umm, it's not mine.
1084
00:49:56,026 --> 00:49:57,246
we don't know whose it is.
1085
00:49:57,271 --> 00:49:59,907
then explain to me why this smudge here matches your lipstick.
1086
00:49:59,932 --> 00:50:01,462
that could be anybody's lipstick!
1087
00:50:01,487 --> 00:50:02,126
not really.
1088
00:50:02,151 --> 00:50:04,626
for instance, quinn asked me if she could try my lipstick...
1089
00:50:04,651 --> 00:50:06,673
not that i'm saying it's hers, of course...
1090
00:50:06,698 --> 00:50:08,118
oh, lindy...
1091
00:50:08,866 --> 00:50:09,891
come on, lindy.
1092
00:50:10,088 --> 00:50:13,509
please, michael, i've never done anything like this before, i swear.
1093
00:50:13,534 --> 00:50:16,266
i don't even like to drink. it's just i have this migraine...
1094
00:50:16,291 --> 00:50:18,001
i'm gonna have to let you go.
1095
00:50:22,745 --> 00:50:24,245
damn! you know what i've just realized?
1096
00:50:24,270 --> 00:50:26,698
the phrase "chicken fingers" is misleading ?
1097
00:50:26,723 --> 00:50:29,313
besides that. we forgot to check out the pizza in newtown.
1098
00:50:29,338 --> 00:50:33,097
oh. well, i guess you'll just have to send mine package-air to boston.
1099
00:50:33,122 --> 00:50:36,737
won't that be a little messy? oh, daria! no!
1100
00:50:36,762 --> 00:50:41,162
yep. it's official. the gods have spoken. i didn't get into bromwell.
1101
00:50:41,187 --> 00:50:45,123
i'm really sorry. and after my parents wrote such a glowing recommendation, too.
1102
00:50:45,148 --> 00:50:49,535
shocking, isn't it? i'm such a loser, even a nod from the sloanes couldn't help me.
1103
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:50,739
that's not what i meant.
1104
00:50:50,764 --> 00:50:52,871
good. because i'm not a loser,
1105
00:50:52,896 --> 00:50:55,043
and even if i didn't go to the right prep school,
1106
00:50:55,068 --> 00:50:57,465
or pull the right strings, or donate a wing...
1107
00:50:57,490 --> 00:50:58,973
that was my uncle!
1108
00:50:59,457 --> 00:51:02,684
listen. you're a smart guy and a good student.
1109
00:51:02,709 --> 00:51:06,656
i'm sure you deserve to get into bromwell, and i wish you every success there.
1110
00:51:06,681 --> 00:51:09,542
well, that's a nice thing to say, even if that daria voice of yours
1111
00:51:09,567 --> 00:51:12,132
makes it sound like a kiss off... wait...
1112
00:51:12,157 --> 00:51:13,492
i think we should break up.
1113
00:51:13,517 --> 00:51:15,281
what? when did you decide this?
1114
00:51:15,306 --> 00:51:16,132
just now.
1115
00:51:16,157 --> 00:51:19,335
because i got into bromwell and you didn't? that's not fair, daria.
1116
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:21,515
it's got nothing to do with bromwell.
1117
00:51:21,540 --> 00:51:22,851
although if i were you,
1118
00:51:22,876 --> 00:51:25,960
i wouldn't use the word fair in any discussion of what happened there.
1119
00:51:25,985 --> 00:51:28,718
well, if it's not about bromwell, then what? why?
1120
00:51:29,570 --> 00:51:32,093
because you're going one place and i'm going another.
1121
00:51:32,118 --> 00:51:34,242
so what? we won't be that far away.
1122
00:51:34,267 --> 00:51:35,554
i don't mean physically.
1123
00:51:35,579 --> 00:51:38,265
i mean you're from one place and i'm from another,
1124
00:51:38,290 --> 00:51:40,593
and college is going to make it even more obvious.
1125
00:51:40,618 --> 00:51:41,578
i don't believe that.
1126
00:51:41,603 --> 00:51:44,656
tom... we have little enough in common as it is.
1127
00:51:44,681 --> 00:51:47,156
now we won't see each other for months at a time,
1128
00:51:47,181 --> 00:51:50,671
and every time we do, it'll be more difficult to pick up where we left off.
1129
00:51:50,696 --> 00:51:51,726
not if we work at it.
1130
00:51:51,751 --> 00:51:54,242
why should we work at it when we are already getting bored?
1131
00:51:54,267 --> 00:51:55,828
who's bored? i'm not bored.
1132
00:51:55,853 --> 00:51:59,484
really? or are you just upset that i admitted it first?
1133
00:52:01,174 --> 00:52:04,265
you'll get over it. we both will.
1134
00:52:04,290 --> 00:52:06,109
hey, kids! what's new?
1135
00:52:07,247 --> 00:52:09,837
oops, sorry. wrong table.
1136
00:52:18,181 --> 00:52:19,074
hi.
1137
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:20,028
hmm.
1138
00:52:20,630 --> 00:52:21,707
tv's off.
1139
00:52:21,980 --> 00:52:24,653
yeah. want something?
1140
00:52:24,678 --> 00:52:29,473
no. just... if you had a friend and you knew she had a problem but she didn't,
1141
00:52:29,498 --> 00:52:30,606
would you tell her?
1142
00:52:30,631 --> 00:52:31,418
huh?
1143
00:52:31,443 --> 00:52:34,891
this girl i was working with... i think she has a drinking problem.
1144
00:52:34,916 --> 00:52:37,789
if i don't say anything, i'm afraid she'll get in an accident or something,
1145
00:52:37,814 --> 00:52:40,906
but if i do say something, she'll probably never speak to me again.
1146
00:52:40,931 --> 00:52:42,358
not that she is now.
1147
00:52:42,383 --> 00:52:47,203
i don't really feel qualified to give any advice on interpersonal relationships today.
1148
00:52:47,228 --> 00:52:48,039
why not?
1149
00:52:48,064 --> 00:52:51,695
i just broke up with my boyfriend. it's kind of a first for me.
1150
00:52:51,720 --> 00:52:54,953
so's this feeling in my stomach like it's been through a paper shredder.
1151
00:52:54,978 --> 00:52:56,273
you broke up with tom?
1152
00:52:56,298 --> 00:52:58,516
you sound almost as surprised as i was.
1153
00:52:58,541 --> 00:52:59,391
why?
1154
00:52:59,416 --> 00:53:02,117
because i felt we'd come to the end of our relationship,
1155
00:53:02,142 --> 00:53:04,687
for a bunch of reasons, and we should both move on.
1156
00:53:04,712 --> 00:53:06,828
so you said that to him, just like that?
1157
00:53:06,853 --> 00:53:09,632
you didn't want to wait so you'd have someone to go out with for the summer?
1158
00:53:09,657 --> 00:53:12,927
no, although i'm sure tom would've been very flattered
1159
00:53:12,952 --> 00:53:15,124
at being asked to play the role of warm body.
1160
00:53:15,149 --> 00:53:17,217
you don't tell him, daria.
1161
00:53:17,242 --> 00:53:20,069
for some reason, i continue to opt for honesty,
1162
00:53:20,094 --> 00:53:23,792
despite mounting evidence that it's inexorably transforming me into an
1163
00:53:23,817 --> 00:53:26,177
old woman alone in a one room apartment filled with
1164
00:53:26,202 --> 00:53:28,667
thirty year old newspapers and cats.
1165
00:53:28,692 --> 00:53:31,060
oh, daria, that's not gonna happen to you.
1166
00:53:31,085 --> 00:53:35,224
i was at a college party. i know what goes on there. people are smart and nice.
1167
00:53:35,249 --> 00:53:36,935
so it's the opposite of high school?
1168
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:39,950
you're gonna have friends and everything. i know it sounds hard to believe.
1169
00:53:39,975 --> 00:53:42,732
gee, thanks. but, um, thanks.
1170
00:53:43,229 --> 00:53:45,841
you were right to be honest. that's what i'm gonna do.
1171
00:53:45,866 --> 00:53:48,404
good. you can help me feed the cats.
1172
00:53:48,561 --> 00:53:50,288
( doorbell rings )
1173
00:53:51,563 --> 00:53:56,677
daria, your face at the pizza place. your face now... did that bastard dump you?
1174
00:53:56,702 --> 00:53:58,624
i was always afraid he'd do that!
1175
00:53:58,649 --> 00:54:00,288
no, i dumped him.
1176
00:54:00,313 --> 00:54:03,623
you dumped... you're the bastard? whoa.
1177
00:54:03,648 --> 00:54:07,513
yes, i'm the bastard, and the bastard is hurting like hell.
1178
00:54:09,608 --> 00:54:10,780
( knock on door )
1179
00:54:15,424 --> 00:54:18,468
oh, hi. i didn't think i'd ever see you again.
1180
00:54:18,493 --> 00:54:20,733
why not? we're friends, right?
1181
00:54:20,758 --> 00:54:24,384
i mean, that was a really crappy thing i said about you borrowing my lipstick.
1182
00:54:24,409 --> 00:54:26,728
i can't believe i did it. i was desperate.
1183
00:54:26,753 --> 00:54:27,525
i know.
1184
00:54:27,550 --> 00:54:30,962
it was, like, the worst thing i've ever done in my life, and i'm really sorry.
1185
00:54:30,987 --> 00:54:34,497
lindy, i know i'm only in high school and i'm not really used to being around
1186
00:54:34,522 --> 00:54:36,900
people who drink except for my father, but that's only when
1187
00:54:36,925 --> 00:54:40,066
he's really mad and talking about military school and even then and...
1188
00:54:40,091 --> 00:54:43,331
okay, my mother had a few too many at this wedding, but if you knew my aunt rita,
1189
00:54:43,356 --> 00:54:45,558
and i think you have a drinking problem.
1190
00:54:46,444 --> 00:54:47,350
( sighs )
1191
00:54:47,375 --> 00:54:50,386
all right, i hurt you, you hurt me, fair enough.
1192
00:54:50,411 --> 00:54:54,253
i'm not trying to hurt you, lindy. you really need to think about your drinking.
1193
00:54:54,278 --> 00:54:56,753
quinn, i'm in college. everybody drinks.
1194
00:54:56,778 --> 00:55:00,300
if i had a problem, it would be affecting my schoolwork or personal life, wouldn't it?
1195
00:55:00,325 --> 00:55:02,113
but you got fired because of it!
1196
00:55:02,138 --> 00:55:04,050
i got fired because michael's a jerk.
1197
00:55:04,075 --> 00:55:06,152
and guess what? i already found another job.
1198
00:55:06,177 --> 00:55:08,667
but you just said that what happened in michael's office was
1199
00:55:08,692 --> 00:55:12,605
the worst thing you ever did in your life. doesn't that mean it's affecting you?
1200
00:55:12,630 --> 00:55:15,706
that was out of panic, and now with your nasty little accusation
1201
00:55:15,731 --> 00:55:19,206
you've gotten me back for it, which i guess is why you came over in the first place.
1202
00:55:19,231 --> 00:55:21,230
so, we're even, okay? so goodbye.
1203
00:55:21,255 --> 00:55:22,230
goodbye?
1204
00:55:22,255 --> 00:55:25,160
i've got a paper due tomorrow and i've got a lot of writing left to go.
1205
00:55:25,185 --> 00:55:27,201
you'll notice i said writing, not drinking.
1206
00:55:27,226 --> 00:55:29,748
you'll notice i've a got a book open, not a bottle.
1207
00:55:29,773 --> 00:55:31,662
and now the door's open, too.
1208
00:55:35,038 --> 00:55:36,467
( door slams )
1209
00:55:45,797 --> 00:55:47,290
( phone rings )
1210
00:55:47,585 --> 00:55:48,579
hello?
1211
00:55:55,658 --> 00:55:56,980
( school bell rings )
1212
00:55:57,005 --> 00:55:59,360
all right! last day of school. no more classes.
1213
00:55:59,385 --> 00:56:00,165
or homework!
1214
00:56:00,190 --> 00:56:01,977
or those things with the pages!
1215
00:56:02,346 --> 00:56:02,915
books?
1216
00:56:02,940 --> 00:56:04,016
yeah, that's it.
1217
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:06,829
i want to talk to you. alone.
1218
00:56:07,586 --> 00:56:10,073
okay. obviously, you found out i went to see your father.
1219
00:56:10,098 --> 00:56:12,305
and told him what i confided in you.
1220
00:56:12,330 --> 00:56:13,790
look, i was just trying to help.
1221
00:56:13,815 --> 00:56:16,321
yeah? well, as a result of your butting in...
1222
00:56:16,454 --> 00:56:18,774
i'm going to turner! i'm going to turner!
1223
00:56:18,799 --> 00:56:20,110
you are? that's great!
1224
00:56:20,135 --> 00:56:23,265
my parents said if i was so upset about crestmore that i'd applied to turner
1225
00:56:23,290 --> 00:56:25,852
behind their backs, they had to respect my feelings.
1226
00:56:25,877 --> 00:56:28,431
they told me i'd earned the right to be treated like an adult.
1227
00:56:28,456 --> 00:56:29,706
your father really said that?
1228
00:56:29,731 --> 00:56:32,236
well, my mother said it and then kind of glared at him
1229
00:56:32,261 --> 00:56:35,072
and then sort of elbowed him and then finally he nodded.
1230
00:56:35,097 --> 00:56:36,165
but he did smile.
1231
00:56:36,190 --> 00:56:37,415
i knew you'd work it out.
1232
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:39,908
i wouldn't have worked it out without you.
1233
00:56:39,933 --> 00:56:42,579
did i ever tell you how lucky i am to have you?
1234
00:56:43,236 --> 00:56:46,064
jodie! mack! have you seen mr. o'neill?
1235
00:56:46,089 --> 00:56:47,493
nope, haven't seen him.
1236
00:56:47,518 --> 00:56:50,915
oh sure. all you males stick together!
1237
00:56:54,198 --> 00:56:56,775
kevvie, do you want to go to the place we have to go to
1238
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:58,298
to get the cap and gown with me?
1239
00:56:58,323 --> 00:57:01,158
mmmm, nah! but, you go ahead.
1240
00:57:01,183 --> 00:57:03,337
why? did you already get yours?
1241
00:57:03,362 --> 00:57:06,478
um, brit... remember when you said you'd still be my babe,
1242
00:57:06,503 --> 00:57:07,931
no matter where i went to school?
1243
00:57:08,165 --> 00:57:10,065
umm... i think so.
1244
00:57:10,090 --> 00:57:11,103
but you will, right?
1245
00:57:11,128 --> 00:57:13,205
sure! where are you going?
1246
00:57:13,410 --> 00:57:14,619
right here, babe!
1247
00:57:14,644 --> 00:57:15,345
huh?
1248
00:57:15,536 --> 00:57:20,197
right here. lawndale high. see, um, my grades were so good,
1249
00:57:20,222 --> 00:57:21,712
they want to see if i can do it again.
1250
00:57:21,737 --> 00:57:27,897
ohhh. wait a minute... your grades aren't good... kevvie, you flunked!
1251
00:57:27,922 --> 00:57:30,571
no, no, no! i just, um, didn't pass.
1252
00:57:30,596 --> 00:57:34,149
but, see, if i repeat this year, then my grades will be really good.
1253
00:57:34,174 --> 00:57:37,110
mr. o'neill says i can go away to any college in the country!
1254
00:57:37,135 --> 00:57:37,635
really?
1255
00:57:37,660 --> 00:57:40,728
or did he say some college way out in the country?
1256
00:57:40,753 --> 00:57:43,735
anyway, we're still, like, boyfriend and girlfriend, right?
1257
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:45,923
ummm, sure.
1258
00:57:47,589 --> 00:57:50,925
britanny! stop letting kevin debase you and tell me where mr. o'neill is.
1259
00:57:50,950 --> 00:57:53,558
but ms. barch, he didn't touch my base!
1260
00:57:54,215 --> 00:57:58,316
timothy, you've got to be firm. now, repeat after me:
1261
00:57:58,341 --> 00:58:03,000
"barch, it'll be a cold day in hell before i kiss my common sense
1262
00:58:03,025 --> 00:58:07,991
and will to live goodbye, and enter the bonds of unholy matrimony
1263
00:58:08,016 --> 00:58:10,818
with such a shrew!" now, you!
1264
00:58:10,843 --> 00:58:14,038
um, janet, it'll be a chilly day in hades...
1265
00:58:14,063 --> 00:58:15,022
louder!
1266
00:58:15,047 --> 00:58:16,265
um, janet...
1267
00:58:16,290 --> 00:58:20,421
there you are. if i didn't know better, i'd swear you were hiding from me!
1268
00:58:20,446 --> 00:58:22,140
oh. me? hiding?
1269
00:58:22,165 --> 00:58:23,038
( nervous laugh )
1270
00:58:23,063 --> 00:58:27,600
madam? timothy has something he'd like to say to you! don't you, timothy?
1271
00:58:27,625 --> 00:58:28,725
well, what is it?
1272
00:58:28,750 --> 00:58:32,233
and make it snappy, skinny, we have to go pick out honeymoon cruise wear.
1273
00:58:32,258 --> 00:58:35,929
um, janet, about the wedding, well, um, you see...
1274
00:58:35,954 --> 00:58:37,491
there's not gonna be a wedding,
1275
00:58:37,516 --> 00:58:40,600
so you can dig your talons into the flesh of some other prey!
1276
00:58:40,625 --> 00:58:41,350
what?
1277
00:58:41,375 --> 00:58:42,327
you heard him.
1278
00:58:42,352 --> 00:58:46,718
uh, you see, janet, it's not that you wouldn't make a very desirable life partner...
1279
00:58:46,743 --> 00:58:50,436
all right then, mr. gigolo, you hear this:
1280
00:58:50,461 --> 00:58:54,182
if there's no wedding, then that's it. it's over, buster.
1281
00:58:54,207 --> 00:58:59,424
we will never play farmwife and national geographic photographer again.
1282
00:58:59,860 --> 00:59:01,052
timothy?
1283
00:59:01,077 --> 00:59:01,833
( takes deep breath )
1284
00:59:01,858 --> 00:59:02,916
as you wish.
1285
00:59:02,941 --> 00:59:03,807
aargh!
1286
00:59:03,832 --> 00:59:07,078
congratulations! you stood up to her like a man!
1287
00:59:07,103 --> 00:59:08,484
exactly!
1288
00:59:09,259 --> 00:59:13,365
ow! my good eye! aaaaaah!
1289
00:59:13,390 --> 00:59:15,130
( school bell rings )
1290
00:59:15,155 --> 00:59:17,780
( cheering )
1291
00:59:19,393 --> 00:59:22,992
stacy, of course sandi didn't say anything about being mad at you.
1292
00:59:23,017 --> 00:59:24,591
she can't talk, remember?
1293
00:59:24,616 --> 00:59:25,319
( doorbell rings )
1294
00:59:25,344 --> 00:59:28,649
no, she didn't say anything in sign language.
1295
00:59:30,582 --> 00:59:37,170
stacy, i've got to call you back. um, hi, lindy. come in! how are you?
1296
00:59:37,203 --> 00:59:38,742
i'm just fine, really great.
1297
00:59:38,767 --> 00:59:42,016
um, i forgot to give this to you when you came over the other day.
1298
00:59:42,539 --> 00:59:45,727
lindy! the mirror; it's beautiful!
1299
00:59:45,752 --> 00:59:46,649
you really like it?
1300
00:59:46,674 --> 00:59:48,727
i love it! thank you!
1301
00:59:49,188 --> 00:59:51,404
um, listen, about our conversation.
1302
00:59:51,429 --> 00:59:52,207
( takes deep breath )
1303
00:59:52,232 --> 00:59:55,945
maybe every now and then i do go a little overboard when i drink,
1304
00:59:55,970 --> 00:59:57,852
but that doesn't mean i've got a problem.
1305
00:59:57,877 --> 01:00:01,109
believe me, i you'd had my mother, you'd know what a real problem looks like.
1306
01:00:01,134 --> 01:00:01,633
oh.
1307
01:00:01,658 --> 01:00:03,016
you know how i'm sure i can handle it?
1308
01:00:03,041 --> 01:00:04,770
whenever i think i'm drinking too much,
1309
01:00:04,795 --> 01:00:07,285
i stop for a week, just to prove to myself that i can.
1310
01:00:07,310 --> 01:00:07,973
really?
1311
01:00:07,998 --> 01:00:10,512
yeah. i do it all the time. so you see?
1312
01:00:10,537 --> 01:00:12,707
yeah, that's great, lindy.
1313
01:00:13,068 --> 01:00:15,059
anyway, i'm glad you like the mirror.
1314
01:00:15,084 --> 01:00:16,274
it's beautiful.
1315
01:00:16,299 --> 01:00:18,090
thanks. i'll see you around.
1316
01:00:18,669 --> 01:00:21,301
um, lindy? do you want to go to a movie or something?
1317
01:00:21,326 --> 01:00:23,887
i can't today, but i'll give you a call, okay?
1318
01:00:24,153 --> 01:00:25,840
okay, sure.
1319
01:00:29,420 --> 01:00:30,271
hey.
1320
01:00:30,296 --> 01:00:32,848
wow, you're talking to a sellout like me?
1321
01:00:32,873 --> 01:00:33,895
about that...
1322
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:34,676
yes?
1323
01:00:34,823 --> 01:00:37,215
i don't really think you're a sellout.
1324
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:41,129
well, that's not exactly an apology, but you know what they say about beggars.
1325
01:00:41,154 --> 01:00:43,488
that they'll only spend it on booze?
1326
01:00:43,513 --> 01:00:44,403
never mind.
1327
01:00:44,428 --> 01:00:45,957
um, janey?
1328
01:00:45,982 --> 01:00:47,020
um, trent?
1329
01:00:47,045 --> 01:00:51,465
this college thing... i gave it... thought... and, um,
1330
01:00:51,490 --> 01:00:54,145
i kind of understand if you want to go.
1331
01:00:54,170 --> 01:00:57,105
what i don't get is why you were so against it in the first place.
1332
01:00:57,130 --> 01:01:02,270
i guess i didn't want you to go because... well... you would be there...
1333
01:01:02,295 --> 01:01:04,285
admirable grasp of the situation.
1334
01:01:04,310 --> 01:01:06,168
...and i would be here.
1335
01:01:06,193 --> 01:01:08,934
oh. you're worried about losing me?
1336
01:01:08,959 --> 01:01:14,902
well, the house gets kind of spooky at night. maybe i should get a puppy.
1337
01:01:14,927 --> 01:01:17,917
hey, trent, do you really think i'm gonna let you slack off being my brother
1338
01:01:17,942 --> 01:01:19,770
just because of an address change?
1339
01:01:19,795 --> 01:01:20,566
hmm.
1340
01:01:20,591 --> 01:01:24,649
and if i do end up going to bfac, think of all the gigs to be had in boston.
1341
01:01:24,674 --> 01:01:28,743
think of all the college girls looking for a dark, mysterious musician to swoon over.
1342
01:01:28,768 --> 01:01:29,563
jesse?
1343
01:01:29,588 --> 01:01:30,602
you, you dope!
1344
01:01:30,627 --> 01:01:34,142
but i hear those dorm floors are a little less sticky than the floor of the tank,
1345
01:01:34,167 --> 01:01:35,884
so be prepared to pack accordingly.
1346
01:01:35,909 --> 01:01:39,509
right. they probably don't shake as much either.
1347
01:01:39,534 --> 01:01:41,484
or roll into traffic. now listen.
1348
01:01:41,509 --> 01:01:45,618
my guess is mom and dad won't be back from the azores until monsoon season's over.
1349
01:01:45,643 --> 01:01:48,009
you want to represent the lane family at my graduation?
1350
01:01:48,034 --> 01:01:50,579
hmm, i don't know if i could take it.
1351
01:01:50,604 --> 01:01:53,532
i didn't even go to my own graduation.
1352
01:01:53,557 --> 01:01:54,923
so you did graduate.
1353
01:01:54,948 --> 01:01:56,657
i'm pretty sure...
1354
01:02:01,598 --> 01:02:05,731
hmm. what's tom doing out there? he looks unhappy about something.
1355
01:02:05,756 --> 01:02:08,817
he's probably mad at those stuck-up bromwell goons, too!
1356
01:02:08,842 --> 01:02:11,012
lousy, tea-drinking, pinky-raising...
1357
01:02:11,037 --> 01:02:15,528
jake! tom got into bromwell. oh!
1358
01:02:19,653 --> 01:02:21,020
um, hello.
1359
01:02:21,045 --> 01:02:21,707
hey, daria.
1360
01:02:21,732 --> 01:02:23,449
i'm not getting into that car.
1361
01:02:23,474 --> 01:02:25,942
that's how all this trouble started in the first place.
1362
01:02:25,967 --> 01:02:28,379
trouble? is that how you think of our relationship?
1363
01:02:28,404 --> 01:02:30,254
i'm just kidding. what's up?
1364
01:02:30,514 --> 01:02:33,410
oh, jake! i think something bad is happening!
1365
01:02:33,435 --> 01:02:38,020
and she's already had one disappointment. oh, no! i was dreading this day!
1366
01:02:38,045 --> 01:02:40,778
sounds like i should do something! i think i'll go clean the attic!
1367
01:02:40,803 --> 01:02:41,965
jake!
1368
01:02:43,793 --> 01:02:46,903
um, i've been thinking a lot about why you said we should break up,
1369
01:02:46,928 --> 01:02:51,004
and i don't disagree. i just wanted to know: you liked me for a while, right?
1370
01:02:51,029 --> 01:02:54,629
tom, come on. i still like you. you're a good guy.
1371
01:02:54,654 --> 01:02:57,838
a little spoiled, a hair smug, a trifle egotistical...
1372
01:02:57,863 --> 01:02:59,315
this isn't going quite the way i'd hope.
1373
01:02:59,340 --> 01:03:02,063
...but a smart, funny guy who's basically very caring
1374
01:03:02,088 --> 01:03:04,505
and sensitive in the not-pukey way.
1375
01:03:04,530 --> 01:03:07,664
i'm glad we went out. it was a really good experience.
1376
01:03:07,689 --> 01:03:08,422
you mean that?
1377
01:03:08,447 --> 01:03:11,008
yeah, of course. what's the matter with you?
1378
01:03:11,033 --> 01:03:15,492
nothing. it's just... i really look up to you, and your opinion's important to me.
1379
01:03:15,517 --> 01:03:17,360
you look up to me? huh.
1380
01:03:17,385 --> 01:03:19,602
do you think next year i could call you from school,
1381
01:03:19,627 --> 01:03:22,914
and we can compare notes on our lives in a completely non-romantic fashion?
1382
01:03:22,939 --> 01:03:24,141
you know, like friends?
1383
01:03:24,166 --> 01:03:28,895
umm, yeah. yeah! that's a good idea. call me. that'll be nice.
1384
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:31,864
ok. i'm starting to feel a little better. how about you?
1385
01:03:33,662 --> 01:03:37,028
i've got one more bed of hot coals to walk through first.
1386
01:03:39,309 --> 01:03:43,528
daria! hi! how was the last day of school? anything new?
1387
01:03:43,553 --> 01:03:45,887
can i get you anything? do you want to lie down?
1388
01:03:45,912 --> 01:03:47,465
i have an announcement to make.
1389
01:03:47,490 --> 01:03:50,739
oh, god, daria! it'll be all right, i promise!
1390
01:03:50,764 --> 01:03:52,942
i have broken up with my boyfriend.
1391
01:03:52,967 --> 01:03:56,918
yes, it hurts, but it was my idea, and despite the pain i feel,
1392
01:03:56,943 --> 01:03:59,262
i remain convinced it is for the best.
1393
01:03:59,287 --> 01:04:02,254
i am looking forward to summer, and, to my amazement,
1394
01:04:02,279 --> 01:04:04,309
excited about college next year.
1395
01:04:04,334 --> 01:04:07,286
now i shall go to my room without taking questions.
1396
01:04:07,311 --> 01:04:11,207
ignore any muffled screams you may hear, especially if they're quinn's.
1397
01:04:11,893 --> 01:04:15,223
she and tom broke up? just like that? no clues, no warning signs?
1398
01:04:15,248 --> 01:04:18,359
i'd better go talk to her! this could drive her back to military school!
1399
01:04:18,498 --> 01:04:22,046
what should i say? damn it, helen! where's our copy of mr. spock?
1400
01:04:22,071 --> 01:04:26,710
jake, your concern is very sweet, but i think she's going to be okay.
1401
01:04:28,475 --> 01:04:32,682
just tell me what i did to make you drag me to jodie's graduation party?
1402
01:04:32,707 --> 01:04:34,218
you need a break from the break-up.
1403
01:04:34,243 --> 01:04:37,096
one more night with those whose stupidity has so tormented and
1404
01:04:37,121 --> 01:04:40,627
entertained us, lo these many years. a farewell to dopes!
1405
01:04:40,652 --> 01:04:44,528
you want me to forget about my heavy heart by getting sick to my stomach.
1406
01:04:44,553 --> 01:04:47,676
doesn't that bring a lump to your throat? come on, it's just a party.
1407
01:04:47,701 --> 01:04:50,895
sure, and the romans said it was just a cat show.
1408
01:04:54,579 --> 01:04:57,747
andrea, my dark-eyed mistress of sweet, sweet pain.
1409
01:04:57,772 --> 01:05:01,895
are you, like me, finding this party a bit too... festive?
1410
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:04,332
let us depart for a darker place, where we can
1411
01:05:04,357 --> 01:05:09,309
explore the melancholia that always accompanies true, unbridled passion!
1412
01:05:09,334 --> 01:05:11,160
you're hitting on me?
1413
01:05:11,185 --> 01:05:12,129
um...
1414
01:05:12,486 --> 01:05:13,121
okay.
1415
01:05:13,146 --> 01:05:18,153
really?! i mean, say no more, my raven-haired ravisher!
1416
01:05:19,237 --> 01:05:22,400
behold, daria! the group dynamic you crave so much!
1417
01:05:22,425 --> 01:05:26,837
i suppose pulling out a can of mace right now would be considered bad form.
1418
01:05:26,862 --> 01:05:28,205
hey, guys. thanks for coming.
1419
01:05:28,230 --> 01:05:30,853
well, you know how daria can't resist a party.
1420
01:05:30,878 --> 01:05:31,939
no tom tonight?
1421
01:05:31,964 --> 01:05:33,900
um, no tom no more.
1422
01:05:33,925 --> 01:05:35,970
what? he dumped both of you? i mean...
1423
01:05:35,995 --> 01:05:38,869
au contraire! tom was the dumpee!
1424
01:05:38,894 --> 01:05:39,642
wow!
1425
01:05:39,667 --> 01:05:43,189
yes, i terminated the relationship so i could indulge my
1426
01:05:43,214 --> 01:05:45,267
compulsive need to play the field.
1427
01:05:45,292 --> 01:05:48,345
hi, daria! hi, jane! where's tom?
1428
01:05:48,370 --> 01:05:50,072
um, covert mission.
1429
01:05:50,097 --> 01:05:52,597
really? i didn't know he was religious.
1430
01:05:52,622 --> 01:05:54,626
hey, daria! where's that guy you know?
1431
01:05:54,651 --> 01:05:56,119
he joined a mission!
1432
01:05:56,144 --> 01:05:58,283
really? he's going to mars?
1433
01:06:00,052 --> 01:06:02,913
so, once i paid off my credit card bill, i just quit.
1434
01:06:02,938 --> 01:06:07,706
my friend was already gone, and i mean, who works in the summer? puh-lease!
1435
01:06:07,731 --> 01:06:09,175
you're so good with money, quinn!
1436
01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:10,320
will you balance my checkbook?
1437
01:06:10,345 --> 01:06:11,909
you've got fiscal smarts!
1438
01:06:11,934 --> 01:06:16,800
well, i see i'm the only one who still believes in arriving fashionably late.
1439
01:06:16,825 --> 01:06:18,854
sandi! you got your voice back!
1440
01:06:18,879 --> 01:06:20,179
that's great, sandi!
1441
01:06:20,204 --> 01:06:22,385
yeah... great...
1442
01:06:22,410 --> 01:06:26,065
stacy, you'll be happy to know i figured how you can almost
1443
01:06:26,090 --> 01:06:29,721
make it up to me for the physical and emotional anguish you caused.
1444
01:06:29,746 --> 01:06:32,260
you have? oh, sandi, thank you!
1445
01:06:32,595 --> 01:06:36,942
organize your waif magazine inventory, ironing any and all wrinkled pages...
1446
01:06:36,967 --> 01:06:39,137
take over babysitting your brothers all summer...
1447
01:06:39,162 --> 01:06:40,551
clean your lipstick tubes...
1448
01:06:40,576 --> 01:06:43,804
whoa, stacy... i pity you.
1449
01:06:43,829 --> 01:06:46,554
um, sandi, i'm really, really sorry about what happened and all,
1450
01:06:46,579 --> 01:06:49,226
but this seems kind of... unfair.
1451
01:06:49,251 --> 01:06:52,280
i mean, we don't know if i really made you lose your voice, right?
1452
01:06:52,380 --> 01:06:55,168
and tiffany's the one who drank that horrible anti-curse stuff.
1453
01:06:55,193 --> 01:06:57,692
eww, the memory.
1454
01:06:57,717 --> 01:07:01,950
are you saying you don't care if you jeopardize your status in the fashion club?
1455
01:07:02,465 --> 01:07:06,239
sandi, if this is what it'll take to keep me in the fashion club,
1456
01:07:06,264 --> 01:07:09,051
maybe i'm better off taking a sabbatical like quinn.
1457
01:07:09,507 --> 01:07:14,129
um... fine. but you're missing out, because quinn is coming back.
1458
01:07:14,154 --> 01:07:15,371
right, quinn?
1459
01:07:15,396 --> 01:07:19,075
um, actually, sandi, the time off was a nice change of pace.
1460
01:07:19,100 --> 01:07:20,887
i'm thinking of extending my sabbatical.
1461
01:07:20,912 --> 01:07:21,590
what?
1462
01:07:21,615 --> 01:07:25,700
huh. i think i'll take a sabbatical, too.
1463
01:07:28,373 --> 01:07:31,895
well, that is certainly an amusing coincidence,
1464
01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:36,020
because tonight i was going to announce my sabbatical from the fashion club.
1465
01:07:36,045 --> 01:07:39,653
yes, i find that your precious club no longer serves my needs
1466
01:07:39,678 --> 01:07:42,457
as a multi-faceted young woman of today.
1467
01:07:42,482 --> 01:07:44,278
it's just too confining.
1468
01:07:44,310 --> 01:07:47,558
gosh! does this mean there isn't any more fashion club?
1469
01:07:47,807 --> 01:07:49,871
i guess it's time to move on.
1470
01:07:49,896 --> 01:07:51,372
it's like the end of an era.
1471
01:07:51,397 --> 01:07:52,031
( sniffs )
1472
01:07:52,056 --> 01:07:53,098
i'm gonna miss it.
1473
01:07:53,123 --> 01:07:54,871
me, too.
1474
01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:58,515
( they cry )
1475
01:07:58,540 --> 01:08:01,731
you want to come over tomorrow and discuss what we'll do
1476
01:08:01,756 --> 01:08:03,660
with all our new free time?
1477
01:08:03,685 --> 01:08:05,349
that's a great idea, sandi!
1478
01:08:05,374 --> 01:08:06,989
i'll bring some magazines to look at.
1479
01:08:07,014 --> 01:08:09,815
i can't wait to brainstorm.
1480
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:10,746
then it's a date.
1481
01:08:10,771 --> 01:08:13,082
cool!
this will be so great!
absolutely!
1482
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:15,004
he said he looked up to you?
1483
01:08:15,029 --> 01:08:17,973
isn't that weird? flattering, but weird.
1484
01:08:17,998 --> 01:08:21,176
no, i guess i could see where people would value your opinion
1485
01:08:21,201 --> 01:08:23,934
and take what you say very seriously.
1486
01:08:23,959 --> 01:08:26,114
really? where can i meet these people?
1487
01:08:26,139 --> 01:08:28,950
well, i kind of take what you say seriously.
1488
01:08:28,975 --> 01:08:30,168
what's in that cup?
1489
01:08:30,193 --> 01:08:33,403
that's why, after your constant haranguing and brow-beating,
1490
01:08:33,428 --> 01:08:37,556
i went ahead and sent my portfolio to bfac... and got in.
1491
01:08:37,704 --> 01:08:40,290
jane lane! what did you say?
1492
01:08:40,315 --> 01:08:45,010
you. me. college. same town. get ready to have your ass dragged to more parties.
1493
01:08:45,035 --> 01:08:46,915
i knew you could do it. i knew it!
1494
01:08:47,355 --> 01:08:48,696
why the hell didn't you tell me?
1495
01:08:48,721 --> 01:08:52,118
i just found out today. besides, you know what a drama queen i am.
1496
01:08:52,143 --> 01:08:53,446
so, what do you say?
1497
01:08:53,471 --> 01:08:56,587
make a pledge right now to go up there and get separate boyfriends?
1498
01:08:57,696 --> 01:09:00,814
thanks for talking me into applying. i owe you a huge one.
1499
01:09:00,839 --> 01:09:02,417
you don't owe me anything.
1500
01:09:02,442 --> 01:09:04,837
thanks for helping me get through high school.
1501
01:09:05,313 --> 01:09:09,806
me at bfac, you at raft. you think it's true that things happen for a reason?
1502
01:09:10,379 --> 01:09:11,329
naah!
1503
01:09:12,702 --> 01:09:14,923
... for today we leave the days of our youth behind
1504
01:09:14,948 --> 01:09:16,984
and begin our journey into adulthood.
1505
01:09:17,009 --> 01:09:19,910
many years from now, i'm sure we will look back on our days at
1506
01:09:19,935 --> 01:09:24,810
lawndale high with a great fondness, for what once was, and will never be again.
1507
01:09:24,835 --> 01:09:26,720
that last part sounded good.
1508
01:09:26,745 --> 01:09:27,571
thank you.
1509
01:09:27,596 --> 01:09:30,252
( crowd cheers )
1510
01:09:30,825 --> 01:09:33,695
thank you, jodie landon, valedictorian of the graduating
1511
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:35,773
class of laaawndale high.
1512
01:09:35,798 --> 01:09:38,328
and remember, parents, your child doesn't have to be a current student
1513
01:09:38,353 --> 01:09:40,726
for us to accept your generous donations.
1514
01:09:40,751 --> 01:09:45,012
endow, people, endow! and now, awards time!
1515
01:09:45,037 --> 01:09:47,360
we'll do the sports and other good prizes after i get these
1516
01:09:47,385 --> 01:09:49,064
academic jobbies is out of the way.
1517
01:09:49,089 --> 01:09:53,204
now, as you know, at lawndale high we prefer to reward students for both
1518
01:09:53,229 --> 01:09:55,976
their scholarship and contribution to student life.
1519
01:09:56,001 --> 01:09:59,515
but, occasionally, a student does so well in one area that we are forced to
1520
01:09:59,540 --> 01:10:02,954
recognize him or her despite crippling deficiencies in the other.
1521
01:10:02,979 --> 01:10:07,064
and so, i give you the winner of this year's lawndale high school diane fossey
1522
01:10:07,089 --> 01:10:12,079
award for dazzling academic achievement in the face of near-total misanthropy...
1523
01:10:12,104 --> 01:10:14,701

1524
01:10:14,726 --> 01:10:16,008
( applause )
1525
01:10:16,033 --> 01:10:17,740
bravo, bravo!
1526
01:10:17,765 --> 01:10:20,311
very good, daria! you go, girlfriend!
1527
01:10:20,336 --> 01:10:21,678
brav... oh!
1528
01:10:21,703 --> 01:10:26,062
all right, timothy! this is it! you've gone this far; you can't turn back now!
1529
01:10:26,087 --> 01:10:27,764
anthony! where are you going?
1530
01:10:27,789 --> 01:10:30,115
sorry, but that right hook is a killer!
1531
01:10:30,140 --> 01:10:32,160
now, janet, i know you're disappointed...
1532
01:10:32,185 --> 01:10:35,036
no, i'm not! i'm intrigued...
1533
01:10:35,061 --> 01:10:40,325
...but as the poet said, time will heal thy wounded heart in... you're what?
1534
01:10:40,350 --> 01:10:43,553
intrigued by this alluring new backbone of yours.
1535
01:10:43,578 --> 01:10:47,850
where have you been hiding that erogenous chutzpah all these years, you big lug?
1536
01:10:47,875 --> 01:10:49,975
oh, well, i...
1537
01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:59,132
( applause )
1538
01:11:00,327 --> 01:11:05,528
um... thank you. i'm not much for public speaking, or much for speaking,
1539
01:11:05,553 --> 01:11:08,006
or, come to think of it, much for the public.
1540
01:11:08,031 --> 01:11:09,777
and i'm not very good at lying.
1541
01:11:09,802 --> 01:11:13,871
so let me just say that, in my experience, high school sucks.
1542
01:11:13,896 --> 01:11:17,629
if i had to do it all over again, i'd have started advanced placement classes
1543
01:11:17,654 --> 01:11:21,387
in preschool so i could go from eighth grade straight to college.
1544
01:11:21,559 --> 01:11:25,582
however, given the unalterable fact that high school sucks,
1545
01:11:25,607 --> 01:11:28,746
i'd like to add that if you're lucky enough to have a good friend
1546
01:11:28,771 --> 01:11:32,480
and a family that cares, it doesn't have to suck quite as much.
1547
01:11:32,707 --> 01:11:36,629
otherwise, my advice is: stand firm for what you believe in,
1548
01:11:36,654 --> 01:11:40,254
until and unless logic and experience prove you wrong;
1549
01:11:40,279 --> 01:11:43,840
remember, when the emperor looks naked, the emperor is naked;
1550
01:11:43,865 --> 01:11:46,913
the truth and a lie are not "sort of the same thing";
1551
01:11:46,938 --> 01:11:53,182
and there's no aspect, no facet, no moment of life that can't be improved with pizza.
1552
01:11:53,207 --> 01:11:54,770
thank you.
1553
01:11:54,795 --> 01:11:57,381
( applause )
1554
01:12:06,555 --> 01:12:10,450
so, dazzling academic achievement, eh? what a sellout.
1555
01:12:10,475 --> 01:12:13,491
i know. and then i had the perfect opportunity to beat
1556
01:12:13,516 --> 01:12:16,780
ms. li senseless with my trophy, and what do i do?
1557
01:12:16,805 --> 01:12:18,358
give a heart-warming speech.
1558
01:12:18,383 --> 01:12:20,452
you're getting soft around the edges, morgendorffer.
1559
01:12:20,477 --> 01:12:23,194
maybe, or maybe you've got glaucoma.
1560
01:12:23,784 --> 01:12:27,741
to college! i can't wait! what do you think we'll find when we get there?
1561
01:12:27,766 --> 01:12:30,655
hmm. that the students are shockingly ignorant,
1562
01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:32,796
the professors self-centered and corrupt,
1563
01:12:32,821 --> 01:12:36,405
and the entire system geared solely to the pursuit of funding?
1564
01:12:36,430 --> 01:12:39,397
hmmm, yes. you know that thing i said about you getting soft?
1565
01:12:39,422 --> 01:12:40,382
yeah?
1566
01:12:40,407 --> 01:12:41,680
i take it back.
