I don't even know where
her parents live.

It's a place back east, I think.

Charlie...

And I tried calling some
old friends of ours,

but nobody kept in
touch with her.

She just split.

I know, we've been
over this but...

It doesn't make any sense.

She blows back into my life

and asks me to help
take care of my kid.

My kid.

And then she takes off like
that doesn't even matter.

She must have changed her mind.

Well, that's not her right!
She can't do that.

How can she just do that?

I know I'm not the
greatest person

to be saying this, but...

If you think about it...

I don't know, but...

Maybe it's easier this way.

Easier for who?

Well...

For you.

For me?

Are you kidding?

Okay, for Spencer then.

You said yourself,
you know, before,

that it can't be in
his best interests

to have someone come
in and out of his life

all the time.

It's got to be better than
growing up without a father.

Maybe.

But the more time
you spend with him,

the more you're gonna
fall in love with him,

and the more he'll
fall in love with you.

Who's to say that she
wouldn't take off anyway?

Kirsten, I worry about him.

I know that sounds crazy, but...

I do.

Of course you do.

But...

By leaving like this,

she's telling you

that it's not your
responsibility anymore.

She's letting you
off the hook and...

Maybe that's for the best.

So I'm supposed to just...

forget about him?

How can I do that?

How can I possibly do that?

And so, classes of
'96 through '98,

it is my pleasure

to welcome you back for
another school year.

Thank you. Thank you.

Now announcements.

I'd like to remind
the senior class

that it's time to begin thinking
about your college plans.

Isn't she supposed to be dead?

Mrs. Stickley?

God, she'll be here when our
children are in high school.

"Our" meaning "each
of us respectively."

Shh. I'm trying to get
this stuff about college.

You're taking notes?

Look at this. He's taking notes.

We have a couple of
new rules this year.

Students must...

Wait, wait. Go to the left.

- Left?
- Mm-hm.

No, your left.

And more importantly,

self-control.

- There?
- There.

Therefore, there is to be no...

touching,

feeling, fondling

or kissing on campus.

Hand-holding and "hello,
goodbye" kisses

will be acceptable

at the discretion
of the faculty.

Thank you all very much and
welcome back to school.

You want to let me in on this?

My dad wants me to go to Perry.

Perry? I can't get into Perry.

You'll have to screw
up your application.

Put down ax murderer as a
career goal or something.

Or maybe for some strange reason
you actually want to do this.

Well, I was thinking about it.

I mean,

I'm going out there,

you know, to interview and
check out the campus.

I'm sort of flying
out tonight and...

Tonight?

And what? You were just going
to let me think you'd vanished?

Look, why don't
you come with me?

Dad was going until he got a
more important call on line two

so the ticket's paid for.

It's only three days.

What am I gonna do around
campus for three days

while you're off playing Mr.
Ivy League?

I don't know, Bay. What are you
gonna do hanging out here?

Unless, of course, you're planning on
buckling down and hitting the books.

Sullivan, Nancy. Large.

Locker 37. Suit up.

Salinger, Claudia.

Size?

Um, medium?

How about extra small?

Um, small's fine, I guess.

- Locker 38. Suit up.
- Okay.

Burgess, Kate.

Ooh! Sorry. Sorry.

What is it?

It's on the bottom!

Watch it!

Ever notice how when somebody tells
you, you can't do something,

it's all you can
think about doing?

Only now,

that's what I'm restricted to.

A "hello, goodbye," might as
well be kissing my sister,

no moving parts
allowed, kind of thing.

I think that's up to the
discretion of the faculty.

- Oh.
- Hm.

When I really want to do this.

Justin, maybe we shouldn't.

You're right.

Might lead to insanity
or something.

Miss Salinger.

Mr. Thompson.

We were just

saying goodbye.

Well, say it again and
you're in detention.

Oh, please.

It's not like we were having
sex in the teachers lounge.

It's school policy, Mr.
Thompson.

Fine, then.

Your choice. That's
detention for both of you.

Okay.

I got football,
basketball, baseball.

That shows I'm pretty
well-rounded, right?

Yeah. You'll be a regular
big man on campus.

...so we can get an
accurate head count.

Look, you want to come along

just to make sure my guilt barometer
doesn't dip below red, fine.

Go ahead. Heap it on.

But you know what?

I'm still glad you're doing this

because I think it might
actually be good for you.

You're right.

I'll be able to picture
your surroundings

while I send you hate mail
from Loser Community.

Will you stop it
with that stuff?

You're going to
college somewhere.

And think about it.

It's college, Bay.

Women. Adventure.

Ivy.

I mean, it's like
a whole new life.

Clean slate all the way.

You can totally start over.

Let's face it, Will.
I am who I am.

Mr. Fordham?

Thirty-two A and B? Mr. Fordham?

No, no, there must be a...

Please. Bill. Hi.

I just wanted to let you know

that we're just a
teensy bit overbooked

in coach right now.

So we're inviting

some of our preferred flyers
to join us in first class.

If that's all right
with you, of course.

Uh, I guess we could
live with that.

What do you think?

Sure. Sure, happy to help out.

- Then follow me.
- Great.

Kirsten, can you
hand me that wrench?

This other section's
gonna have to come off.

It's clogged or something.
I don't know.

Wow.

Do I look kind of green to you?

'Cause I'm kind of clammy

and, and I think I'm
going to ralph.

You don't feel warm.

You want some ginger ale?

That's okay. I just feel like...

I don't know.

Maybe just a 72-hour
bug or something.

Charlie, before I forget,
will you sign this for me?

A 72-hour bug, Claud?
What's going on?

Nothing. Maybe I should
just go lie down.

I just hate to have to miss
any school, that's all.

Come on. Charlie Salinger on the
line "parent and/or guardian."

Nice try. You're
going to school.

Oh, man! Like that's fair?

You let Bailey cut and
go look at that school.

I didn't let Bailey do anything.

Will you just sign this?

I'm talking to Claudia.

Detention?

Don't pop an artery. It's just...

What the hell you do, Jule?

It's no big deal. Charlie,
what do you care?

Fine.

You're right. I don't care.

Whatever you did, it's
none of my business.

You know what Claud, you
want to skip school,

go right ahead, you
and Bailey both.

I'll write you notes
until you're 30.

Just do whatever
the hell you want.

Hey, know what?

Let's get out of here

and go listen to some
music or something.

Come on. It'll be fun.

I used to babysit
for those guys.

And they thought 'cause I was
just their stupid brother,

they could do
whatever they wanted.

I mean...

I'd try to get them to go to bed

or not watch an R-rated
movie on cable,

and they'd be like, you know,

"You're not the boss of me."

The only way I could
keep them in line

was to threaten them, you know?

"Wait till Mom and
Dad get home."

Only now, I'm 25 years old, and
I'm trying to be a father.

I really am and, you know...

Hey, I'm just the babysitter.

That's all I'm ever going to be.

That's not true, Charlie.

Yes, it is.

Except there's this
kid out there.

My kid. My son.

I'm his father, Kirsten.

And he might actually,
you know, look up to me

and listen to me and love me.

And that'd just be...

I have to find him.

I have to find him, and
I have to be his dad.

I just do.

Okay. Is everybody
here for the tour?

That's us!

Will McCorkle.

Great. I'm Keri.

What's your name?

Oh, uh, I'm just Bailey...

Salinger.

What, should I call you "just"

or maybe J.B.?

Uh, Bailey's fine, actually.

So, uh, Bay,

you wanna meet back at the room?

We should probably get
started on the tour.

I can't wait to get a
look at this place.

Let's do it.

Let's. Definitely.

Okay.

So, um, Will McCorkle?

Great.

- Mark Knowles?
- Yes, that's me.

And, um...

That's funny. You said Salinger?

Yeah. Um, but I'm probably
in with the transfers.

See, Will and I,

we're old friends
from San Francisco,

and he wrote me to tell me

that he was coming out
to look at Perry,

and I'm thinking of
transferring from state.

Oh.

Yeah, well, I've heard all
about you state guys.

Well, I'm an exception.

Why don't we all head
over to north campus

and get the dull stuff
out of the way first?

Great. I have got a
ton of questions.

So, Keri, what do you study?

Premed.

Puke, right?

Oh, I don't know.

Kind of been noodling
that myself.

So where did you say
we're going first?

No, you don't understand. I've been to
every university and art school in town.

I told you.

If you knew how many
guys come in here

asking for the numbers of women

they've seen naked...

This isn't about that.

Just look and tell me
if she models here.

I think you should go.

Hey!

Do you want me to
call the police?

Look,

she took off with my son, okay?

My three-year-old son.

And I didn't even know I had
a son until a few days ago,

and this whole thing is
just driving me crazy.

You have to help me, and I am not
going to leave here until you do.

What was the name again?

Pamela. Pamela Rush.

Hmm.

She called in yesterday
looking for work.

Finally.

The Incredibra.
Yes, that's right.

Just how incredible is that?

Oh. Well, never mind.

Well, what about the junior?

Uh, size?

Wow!

I don't know.

Um...

well, actually,
actually it's a gift.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's a gift for
my little sister.

Yeah, well, she's 14 and...

Oh, no, no, no.

She definitely needs more
than a training bra.

Well, you know, something
with a little room in it.

No, not a C cup.

Well, more like, more like an A.

Or maybe A minus?

Hello, hey!

The Big Kiss-Off

tomorrow after sixth period.

Lips unite for civil rights.

Justin, do you really think

anyone's actually
going to do this?

Yeah. Civil disobedience. Sex.

It's not like we're asking them

to pick up a gun and run at
the White House or anything.

Hey, there's Griffin.

Could use people who aren't
scared of detention.

Justin...

Hey, Griffin.

- Hey.
- Oh, you got one.

So are you gonna come?

Are these your lips?

Oh, um, Sheryl Crow's, actually.

We could really use your help.

You got somebody for me to kiss?

Well, what about your, uh...

Erica?

Uh, uh...

That's not happening.
That's history.

Thanks, anyway.

So are you in a sorority?

No. It's, it's totally
not my scene.

Hmm.

I like to keep my personal
time, you know, open.

Really?

Me too.

I got better things to do

than spend all my time with
a bunch of other guys.

Yeah.

Probably like...

spending time with your
girlfriend, right?

I'm sorry.

Sensitive subject?

No.

Uh, no.

No.

I don't actually
have a girlfriend.

Was it a messy breakup?

No.

No, no. It was... It's...

No, it was nothing like that.

The truth is...

I guess I've never
really been in love.

Get out of here.

- You?
- Yeah.

Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know.

I guess...

Guess I've never really...

met the right girl, actually.

Oh.

Charlie! What are
you doing here?

I want an explanation.

Sorry, guys. Let's take a break.

Could you hand me my robe?

Were you gonna call me?

Write me a letter? Tell me where
to send the checks? What?

Actually, no, I wasn't. I, uh...

I mean, you come to me for help,

and when I say I'll
give it to you...

I know.

I know.

I guess what you wanted to give
was more than I wanted from you.

What you wanted?

What about Spencer?

- Charlie...
- What? What?

You just decided for yourself that I
wouldn't be a good enough father?

You think I'm so terrible

that you don't want me to be a
part of his life? Is that it?

You don't know me at all, Pam.

A lot can happen in four years.

I mean, God, he's my son.

No, he isn't, Charlie.

Why are you doing this?
Why are you lying to me?

I'm not lying to you, Charlie.

The truth is,

Spence was born 11 months
after you and I split up.

And I lied about the dates so you'd
think he was yours because...

Because I remember what
you used to be like.

And I thought...

I thought if I told
you he was yours,

you would just
give me some money

and send me on my way.

And I didn't know
what else to do.

Money's really tight.

My mother doesn't think
that I'm providing for him.

And I think that she's
even talked to a lawyer

because she wants to
take him away from me.

And he's all I've got.

But that's not your problem

because he's not
your son, Charlie.

He's not.

And I'm sorry.

I'm so...

sorry.

I mean, how hard is it to
shave two months off his age?

That's an easy lie.

But why? Why would she do that?

Maybe she thinks I'm still
the way I used to be.

Maybe she can't get past that.

I don't know, Charlie.

I mean, yes, it was a
terrible thing to do to you.

Horrible. But...

There's got to be
more to it than that.

You know, I played with this kid.
I saw him.

And this may sound crazy,
but I felt a connection.

Claud, you about done in there?

Almost!

And I can't just take
her word for this.

If I do, I'll be wondering about
it for the rest of my life.

Claudia!

Hold on! Just a second.

What?

Nothing.

I was just wondering
about today.

How we're supposed to get
our marriage license

and that maybe we
should just put it off

until you have time
to deal with this.

No. No, we should go.

- Are you sure? Because...
- I'm positive. I want to.

Is Claud still in there?

Claudia? Come on.

In a minute.

Oh, it's okay. I'll
go downstairs.

Sorry. I was, um, flossing.

Will, we really
don't have to run.

I just wanted to get there
a few minutes early

so I won't be all sweaty
for my interview.

I'm sorry I was late.

It's just, we sort of
lost track of time.

"We"? As in you and Bailey?

Yeah.

We met for breakfast

and then we just spent hours
at the student museum.

Really? How was that?

He is so great.

He mentioned he's really
into postmodernism, and...

Can you believe it?

There just happens to be
this exhibit here on campus.

So I just had to show him.

Well, I guess he gets the whole
culture thing from his parents.

Yeah, that's what he said.

God, the way he talks about
them, they sound so great.

Yeah. They really were.

Were?

Well, I just wanted
to say I'm sorry.

You know, about you and Erica.

Yeah, why?

Well, I just am.

I mean, I know it's hard when
you break up with someone,

and since you're my, um, friend,

I just hate to see you go
through that, you know?

But if you don't wanna
talk about it, it's okay.

What's to talk about?

Oh, so you broke up with her
and not the other way around?

I mean...

It just sort of
happened, you know?

She's just always talking

about nothing, you know?

Yeah.

Well, I'll see you around.

Oh, yeah!

Uh, good luck with
that kissing thing.

You were right.

I'm off the hook.

Put them right up here.

Hey, Sarah. Are you
going to join us?

Well, not technically, no.

For obvious reasons.

I just came to show my support.

I've never really been
part of a protest before.

It's kind of invigorating.

Great.

Well, uh, if you wanna
be point person,

keep an eye out for
Miss Stickley.

She's coming from the lounge.

Got it.

Hey, give me something
good for the front page.

Front page?

Of the school paper.

You guys are the
official poster kids

for the kissing cause, so...

So kiss.

Ooh! Ooh, ooh! Vice
squad at nine o'clock!

Perfect. Give us a big one!

Okay. Okay, everybody,
this is it.

So, uh, so, uh, go for it.

Justin...

- What's wrong?
- Nothing, just...

Well, this really feels stupid.

- That's the whole point.
- Well, I know.

But maybe we're making too
bigger deal out of this.

We're making a statement here.

Well, maybe we should
make a statement about...

I don't know, saving the
rainforest or the ozone layer

or something that
actually matters.

Mr. Thompson?

What's all this, Mr. Thompson?

The Big Kiss-Off.

Apparently.

Hey, Jul, did you get that
message on the machine

from the guy with
the school paper?

'Cause he called again.

He said that he wants a
comment and... Hello?

- What do you think you're doing?
- Asking you if...

Go take those off.
God, you look stupid.

Boy, forget you.

Like it's any of your
business anyway.

It's ridiculous. I mean,
why are you doing this?

Oh, you'd really understand.

It's not like you ever
had this problem.

Trust me, Claud, okay,

you're so much better off staying
12 until you're like 80.

It's a whole lot simpler.

I bet you didn't feel that way

when you were
starting junior high.

I mean, I thought it was gonna
be like this really big deal,

and everything was
gonna be different,

and I was gonna be all
grown up or something.

And then I go there, and
it's not any different,

and it's not any better, and
I don't know what to do

because I'm exactly the same,

only now I'm taking gym with a bunch
of Amazons with D cups, and I just...

Well, I wanna look
like everybody else.

So I was thinking that maybe I
could come back in a few weeks.

And if I make early acceptance,

I'm gonna be starting
spring semester.

So that'd be pretty cool, right?

Yeah, Bailey, that
would be great.

Well, I'm... I'm babbling here.

I do that sometimes
when I'm nervous,

just babble.

So you wanna, uh,
get out of here?

You wanna go grab
something to eat

or see a movie?

Or...

Or just do this.

This is nice.

Hey, I'm coming back, you know.

Bailey,

not now.

Okay.

Why not?

God, it's like, intellectually,

I have every right to
be angry with you,

but when I think about
everything you've been through,

I just...

I understand, you know?

Oh.

I'm so sorry, Bailey.

I wasn't going to say
anything, but...

I can't imagine how hard
it must have been for you.

- And...
- Will told you.

About your girlfriend.

And about your parents.

Look, thanks. It's been a blast.

Bailey, wait. I
want you to stay.

Why?

Why? So you can look at
me like that all night?

No, I just thought maybe
you'd wanna talk about it.

No, see, that's just it, Keri.
I don't wanna talk about it.

I'm handling this, you know?
I'm... I'm figuring it out.

And people looking at me

and asking me if I'm okay all the
time, that doesn't help at all.

That just makes
everything worse.

I just wanted to get
away from that for once.

For once. And now I can't.

I'm sorry.

Bed's kinda empty.

What are you doing?

Ed McMahon addressed to you.

Probably should toss it.

'Cause it'll just lay around.

You'll think about sending
it in, but you won't.

And then it'll still be here.

It's only gonna irritate me, so I
should probably just throw it out.

You do that, you know?

It's four o'clock
in the morning.

I mean, I kinda like things to
be in their place, you know?

Like, bills sorted,
junk mail tossed out.

But you're happy with
all these little...

piles of stickies with
your handwriting on them.

All these little Charlie nests

that end up laying around
wherever they end up.

And I guess it's
okay, because...

I mean, I'm in love with you,

and I'm the one with the
issue, so I don't mind.

But I'm wondering,

am I still gonna feel
this way in five years?

Or 25?

Is it gonna be endearing or
is it gonna make me crazy?

What are you talking about?

I'm scared.

Because I leave junk
mail on the counter?

No.

Because I know you're
in love with me,

and you're willing to
overlook things right now.

But I have this...

little problem, Charlie.

I can't have children.

And I know that you say
you're okay with that now,

but I've been here.

I've watched you go
through this whole thing.

And I'm scared because I
saw the look on your face

when you found out Spencer
wasn't really yours.

And I saw how much
he mattered to you.

Your heart is broken
over something

that I can never, ever give you.

And I don't want you to say
that you're okay with this now

because you might wake
up in a few years

and realize that you're not.

I won't do that.

You might, Charlie.

We're looking at an
entire lifetime together

with no children of our own.

And I can live with all these
little piles of paper.

I can.

But can you honestly tell me
that you're okay with that?

Can you?

There you go.

Will you at least cough so I know
you haven't lapsed into a coma?

I'm trying to watch.

It's Free Willy, Bay.

It has a happy ending.
You'll hate it.

- And for you?
- I'll have a Scotch.

Got milk?

I'm trying to apologize here.

Okay? I didn't mean to tell her.

It just sorta slipped out.

Yeah.

Juicy gossip, I bet.

What?

No. It wasn't like that.

And I stood by you

on the whole transfer-from-state thing.
I swear.

That's just great, Will.

How's that make me feel,

you guys talking about
me behind my back?

We were talking about how glad
I was to see you having fun.

Yeah. You know what? I was.

I was, because for once
in, like, forever,

no one was whispering
or feeling sorry for me

or saying, "Oh, poor Bailey."

I didn't have any of that
crap following me around.

I was just...

I was just this guy.

You know, why shouldn't I
be allowed to do that?

No one says you shouldn't.

Everybody does, Will. You did.

And that is just it. Unless
I am 3000 miles away,

surrounded by people who
don't even know me...

You said college
was a clean slate.

Well, that is what I
need, completely clean.

And I'm entitled to that, Will.
I'm entitled to at least that.

Justin.

Julia.

I have a rather difficult
admission to make.

Well, Miss Stickley,

you're among friends.

You're both very good students.

Top five percent of your class.

And I guess what
you've made me realize

is that my first responsibility

is as an educator,
not a chaperon.

You mean you're lifting the ban?

I'm amending it.

The fact is, I do
have recollections

of being your age and,

in love.

And when I see the
two of you together,

I'm reminded of that, so...

I think you'll find the
terms much less severe.

So basically, no petting?

Basically, yes.

Well, I think we could
probably live with that.

Don't you, Jule?

Mm. Sure.

Why not?

Hi.

I'm Donald Grosse.

I know it's an unfortunate name,

but in the original German
it actually means great.

So, uh, you're Claudia, right?

Uh, yeah.

It's the feminine
form of Claude,

which is Latin meaning lame.

Not that you're
lame or anything.

Of course, obviously not.

Obviously, you're
very, very mature.

Sorry.

I gotta go.

Mind if I walk with you?

I'm, uh...

I'm going to the bathroom,
the girls' bathroom.

I'll wait for you.

Hey. What happened?

Oh. You're back.

I'm back.

You didn't tell me
you were going.

It was kind of a spur
of the moment thing.

No kidding.

I mean, I looked
for you at lunch,

and then, when I didn't see
you in the study hall,

I called your house
and Claudia told me.

Are you keeping tabs on me?

No, no, I just didn't know if
you were sick or something

and maybe needed to
borrow my Lit notes.

That's all.

But then, when I read
your horoscope, I...

You read my horoscope?

Well, yeah.

I mean, it's not like I sat and
drew up your charts or anything.

- I just read it in the paper.
- Hm.

Anyway, it said something
about adventure

and a legal issue
resolved in your favor,

so I figured you were okay.

Yeah. I'm okay.

And you're back.

I'm back.

I know what my transcript says.
I know it's on my record.

And I know that I'm
a prime candidate

for San Francisco State or Oakland
Community or someplace like that.

But I have got a whole
year ahead of me.

And I hope you don't
laugh when I say this,

but I don't want to go
to any of those places.

And what I need from you
right now is a plan.

You just tell me exactly
what I have to do this year

and I will do it,
whatever it takes.

Just as long as it means

that I can get as far away
from here as possible.

Damn it.

Go ahead, huh?

Ask me why I'm here instead
of out shopping with Kirsten.

I'm kind of busy, Claud.

Well, it's because
we were in Macy's,

and, well, she just, She
just started crying,

and she couldn't stop, so
it seemed kind of stupid

to go try on
bridesmaid's dresses.

I'll go talk to her.

She isn't here.

She dropped me off.

She said that, that she
needed some time to herself.

She's really sad, Charlie.

I mean, she's sad,
and she's crying,

and it's all your fault.

This really doesn't
concern you, Claud.

Yes, it does.

Because I'm scared that you
guys are gonna break up.

I mean, is that what
you're gonna do?

And, and then, I just,
I don't get it,

because I've seen your other
girlfriends, Charlie.

And Kirsten is so great.

She's just, she's just so great,

and I just, I'm so scared that
you're not gonna marry her

just because she
can't have kids.

She told you?

I sleep in the dining
room, Charlie.

I heard you guys fighting, but...

- We weren't fighting.
- And now it's like,

I can't believe you would just
dump her because of that.

And then, and then...

You think you're gonna find
someone who can have kids,

but what if you don't?

Then you're not gonna have kids,
you're not gonna have Kirsten,

and that would be pretty stupid.

That would be the stupidest
thing you ever did.

It's just...

kinda complicated.

No, it isn't, Charlie.

It's so simple.

Oh, hi.

What are you doing?

Um, well, Mrs. Stickley

couldn't let us off
the hook completely.

Pretty lame, huh?

Looks like it.

So, uh, congratulations,

on, uh, making it legal
to kiss somebody again.

Have you just been
standing there?

I heard you pull up.

What are we gonna do, Charlie?

Just keep avoiding each other
and hope that this goes away?

It's probably not gonna go away.

Because you were right.

I mean, um, I've thought
a lot about it.

And, yeah, I want
to have children.

And, uh, I want to have
children with you.

But...

I want to be with you more.

And, you know, as for kids,

I mean, it's...

something we sort
of already have.

It seems pretty simple to me.

But I think we should
make it official.

I talked it over with
everybody, and they said yes.

So...

I want us to adopt him.

So he'll be ours.

And I know it won't
be the same thing.

Is that enough for you?

Yeah.
