Michelle: OKAY, HOW'S THIS?

ACID RAIN IS CAUSED BY THE EMISSION OF CERTAIN GASES

MAINLY SULFUR DIOXIDES AND NITROGEN OXIDES

FROM VEHICLE EXHAUSTS, HOMES, FACTORIES, AND POWER STATIONS.

WHAT, NO GOOD?

UH... NO, NO, IT'S GREAT.

TOO DRY, RIGHT?

I HATE PRESENTATIONS.

I GET SO NERVOUS.

ME, TOO.

MAYBE WE SHOULD REFUSE TO DO IT.

RIGHT.

WHAT COULD THEY DO

EXCEPT FLUNK US AND EXPEL US SO WE CAN'T GO TO UNIVERSITY.

SO WE WON'T GET GOOD JOBS.

EXACTLY-- WE'LL LIVE ON THE STREET AND BEG FOR CHANGE.

WE'LL SLEEP UNDER THE VIADUCT AND FREEZE TO DEATH.

OKAY, OKAY, YOU PERSUADED ME.

I'LL KEEP WORKING ON THIS.

Snake: 50% OF EMISSIONS FALL IN DRY FORM.

30% COME DOWN AS PRECIPITATION.

THE REST IS BLOWN TO OTHER AREAS.

TREES IN QUEBEC, VERMONT, AND GERMANY ARE DYING.

MANY LAKES IN SCANDINAVIA AND CANADA ARE SO ACIDIC

THEY WON'T SUPPORT FISH AND OTHER LIFE.

SO ACID RAIN IS

A SERIOUS PROBLEM

AND IT'S UP TO ALL OF US TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

THANK YOU!

VERY GOOD WORK.

OKAY, TOMORROW WE'LL HEAR FROM MARK AND TIM.

OKAY?

CLASS DISMISSED.

( bell rings )

Michelle: I THINK SHE LIKED IT

EVEN THAT PART WHERE WE MESSED UP.

YOU CHANGED THE OVERHEAD, SO SHE DIDN'T NOTICE.

THANKS FOR BEING MY PARTNER.

NO PROBLEM, REALLY, ANYTIME.

HI, WHEELS.

HI.

SO, HE LIKES MICHELLE.

OH, RIGHT, VERY FUNNY!

SO?

WHAT'S WRONG WITH MICHELLE?

NOTHING.

SHE'S SWEET, SHE'S GENTLE

AND SHE'S SMART.

HAVE YOU EVER REALLY LOOKED AT HER?

SHE IS SO PRETTY.

SO ASK HER OUT.

SHE'S NOT GOING WITH B.L.T. ANYMORE.

I CAN'T.

I LIKE HER TOO MUCH.

THAT'S WHY YOU ASK HER OUT.

I ALWAYS MESS IT UP WHEN I LIKE A GIRL.

HEY, YOU GUYS

WANT A RIDE?

SURE. SURE.

COME ON.

SO HAVE YOU HEARD?

SNAKE LIKES MICHELLE.

Snake: I DO NOT!

ANNOUNCE IT ON THE P.A. WHY DON'T YOU?

ATTENTION, STUDENTS, SNAKE HAS THE HOTS...

( laughter )

A RESTAURANT GUIDE?

IT'S MY PARENTS' ANNIVERSARY.

I WANT TO TAKE THEM OUT.

HOW LONG HAVE THEY BEEN MARRIED?

20 YEARS.

20 YEARS!

OH, THAT'S SO ROMANTIC.

CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING MARRIED FOR THAT LONG?

ARE YOU JOKING?

I CAN'T EVEN GET A DATE.

LOSER! LOSER!

I WANT IT TO BE NICE--

SOMEPLACE ROMANTIC, SO THEY WON'T ARGUE.

ALL THEY DO LATELY IS ARGUE.

ABOUT WHAT?

EVERYTHING.

MY DAD DIDN'T GET THE VICE-PRINCIPALSHIP... AGAIN.

OUCH! YOUR MOM IS ALREADY A VICE-PRINCIPAL.

EXACTLY.

Maya: I'M FINALLY ORGANIZED.

MY MOM GOT TAKEN TO THE BISTRO.

SHE SAID IT WAS VERY ROMANTIC.

BRILLIANT-- THAT WAS THEIR FAVORITE RESTAURANT.

IS IT EXPENSIVE?

I CAN ASK.

OR WE COULD CHECK ON THE WAY HOME.

GREAT, LET'S GO!

BYE, GUYS.

Man on P.A.: Attention all football players.

Practice commences promptly in half an hour on the field.

Thank you.

Alexa: I'M SORRY YOU GUYS BROKE UP.

OH, I'M NOT.

BREAKING UP WITH BRYANT WAS THE BEST THING

THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED.

Cindy: BRYANT!

I FEEL FOR HIM, THOUGH.

WHAT'S HER NAME AGAIN-- BAMBI?

CINDY.

RIGHT.

SHE DOESN'T LOOK TOO BRIGHT.

CINDY'S OKAY.

BUT ONLY OKAY... AVERAGE, EVEN.

YOU TALK TO HER?

IT'S HARD NOT TO.

B.L.T. AND SIMON ARE BEST FRIENDS.

I'D BETTER GO.

SIMON IS WAITING.

WAIT!

I GOT SOME DAYS OFF WORK.

LET'S DO SOMETHING TONIGHT.

SIMON AND I ARE GOING TO THE MOVIES

AFTER THE GAME.

OH, RIGHT.

THAT'S OKAY-- I NEED TO STUDY, ANYWAY.

WHY DON'T YOU COME WITH US?

YOU WOULDN'T MIND?

OF COURSE NOT.

WE'RE SEEING RETURN TO SENDER.

THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD!

IT'S PLAYING NEAR MY APARTMENT.

LET'S GO FROM MY PLACE.

SURE.

BYE.

DOES SHE HAVE TO COME WITH US?

SHE'S BEEN OUT WITH US A KAZILLION TIMES

SINCE THEY BROKE UP.

SHE'S SUCH A DOWNER.

I'D BE A DOWNER TOO

IF YOU WERE CHEATING ON ME...

WHICH YOU'D NEVER DO.

RIGHT?

OH, YEAH.

B.L.T.: GUYS, HAVE WE GOT NEWS!

MY UNCLE GOT FOUR FREE TICKETS

TO THE SAVAGES CONCERT TONIGHT

AND HE'S GIVING THEM TO US.

OH, WOW!

NO WAY! I LOVE THE SAVAGES!

WE'VE GOT SECOND ROW CENTER SEATS.

COME TO MY PLACE TONIGHT

AT 7:00, OKAY?

Coach: OKAY, LET'S GO, BRYANT.

AND DON'T BE LATE.

THE SAVAGES-- OH, WOW!

OH, NO... WHAT ABOUT MICHELLE?

SHE'LL UNDERSTAND.

SHE LOVES THE SAVAGES.

THAT'S NOT THE POINT.

IMAGINE THIS:

"MICHELLE, WE CAN'T GO OUT TONIGHT.

WE'RE GOING OUT WITH B.L.T. AND CINDY."

MAYBE YOU BETTER MAKE SOMETHING UP.

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?

YOU HAVE TO TELL HER SOMETHING.

( engine stutters )

COME ON, BABY, COME ON!

DID I GET THIS STRAIGHT?

FROM NOW ON, YOU'LL ONLY DATE GIRLS YOU DON'T LIKE?

NO!

THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!

SNAKE, SHE SEEMS TO LIKE YOU.

YOU THINK SO?

Joey: COME ON!

PLEASE?

I CAN'T ASK HER.

SHE'S ALWAYS WITH ALEXA AND SIMON.

I WON'T ASK TO SPEAK TO HER ALONE.

IT'S GOT TO BE CASUAL, SPONTANEOUS.

YOUR MOM LENDS YOU HER CAR, RIGHT?

YEAH, SO?

YOU COULD CASUALLY PICK UP MICHELLE

GOING TO SCHOOL.

YOU JUST HAPPEN TO DRIVE BY.

SHE LIVES IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.

SO YOU WERE AT YOUR GRANDMOTHER'S.

MY GRANDMOTHER LIVES IN MONTREAL.

SNAKE, DO WE HAVE TO SPELL IT OUT?

( car finally starts )

ALL RIGHT!

IT'S ABOUT TIME!

LET'S GO!

( coughing )

HERE IT IS.

WOW!

SURE LOOKS CLASSY.

I THINK I CAN AFFORD IT.

I MEAN, IT IS A SPECIAL OCCASION.

TRUE.

LET'S MAKE THE RESERVATION.

OKAY.

( soft dinner music playing )

THIS IS PERFECT.

THIS IS GREAT.

HEY... ISN'T THAT YOUR DAD?

WHAT?

YEAH, IT IS!

DON'T LET HIM SEE US.

IT'LL RUIN THE SURPRISE.

WHO'S THE LADY?

I DON'T KNOW.

Maya: THEY SEEM PRETTY FRIENDLY.

Caitlin: YEAH, I KNOW.

MAYBE IT'S HIS SECRETARY.

HE DOESN'T HAVE A SECRETARY.

AN OLD FRIEND?

MAYBE.

I GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE.

( phone rings )

HELLO?

Alexa: Michelle? Hi.

WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?

AREN'T WE GOING TO A MOVIE?

THAT'S WHY I'M CALLING.

I FORGOT-- AUNT HELEN INVITED US FOR DINNER.

SORRY.

OH... WELL, THAT'S OKAY.

Maybe we could go tomorrow... if you're free?

SURE.

SO SEE YOU AT SCHOOL?

Yeah, see you.

BYE.

Radio announcer: BIG SHOW IN TOWN TONIGHT!

THE SAVAGES WILL BE BEATING THEIR DRUMS AROUND 8:00.

HERE'S A TRACK FROM THEIR LATEST DISK, ON KRAZ-Y RADIO.

( door opens )

Dad: I'M HOME!

Mom: HI, HONEY.

( door closes )

HOW WAS YOUR DAY?

FINE, AND YOURS?

FINE-- THE SAME AS USUAL.

HI, GORGEOUS.

HI.

I CALLED THIS AFTERNOON.

THEY SAID YOU WERE OUT.

DID THEY PAGE ME?

I WAS IN THE RESOURCE CENTER.

THEY SAID THEY DID PAGE YOU.

YOU DIDN'T GO OUT AT ALL?

NOT EVEN FOR LUNCH OR ANYTHING?

NO, I GUESS I WAS TOO BUSY.

OH, WELL, THESE THINGS HAPPEN.

NATURAL AND SPONTANEOUS.

MICHELLE!

WOULD YOU CARE TO ACCOMPANY ME TO A MOVIE?

NO, THAT'S TOO FORMAL.

YO, MICHELLE!

HOW ABOUT A DATE WITH ME AND SOME POPCORN?

NO.

MICHELLE, WILL YOU PLEASE GO OUT WITH ME?

ACT NATURAL AND SPONTANEOUS.

MICHELLE!

WOULD YOU CARE TO ACCOMPANY ME TO A MOVIE?

WRONG.

HI, MICHELLE?

( horn toots )

HI!

MICHELLE, I THOUGHT IT WAS YOU.

UH... I WAS VISITING MY GRANDMA.

YOU WANT A RIDE?

SURE, THANKS.

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD A CAR.

UH...

IT'S MY MOM'S.

IS THERE SOMETHING IN MY HAIR?

UH... NO, NO, IT'S FINE!

GREAT, IN FACT.

SHOULDN'T WE BE GOING?

RIGHT, RIGHT!

( gears grinding )

( nervous laugh )

OOPS!

OKAY, JUST A SEC.

( clears throat )

OOPS, AGAIN.

ALL RIGHT.

READY FOR TAKEOFF?

I'M PUSHING!

THANKS FOR THE RIDE.

NO PROBLEM-- ANYTIME.

I MEAN, WHEN I HAVE THE CAR.

THANKS AGAIN.

HI.

Girl: HI, WHAT'S UP?

SO, DID YOU ASK HER?

Both: SNAKE!

GUYS, I'LL ASK HER.

GIVE ME A BREAK.

I CAN DO IT.

YEAH...

I CAN DO IT.

THAT WAS THE BEST CONCERT IN MY LIFE.

THEY'RE AMAZING.

WHEN THEY SMASHED THE GUITAR--

I LOVED THAT.

AND WHEN THE LEAD SINGER...

HI, GUYS!

ARE WE GOING OUT TONIGHT?

SURE!

I DON'T KNOW.

I'M BROKE AFTER LAST NIGHT.

TEN BUCKS FOR FOOD.

THIS SHIRT WAS $15.

YOU WENT TO THE SAVAGES CONCERT?

UM...

YOU, TOO?

MICHELLE, I CAN EXPLAIN.

YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO YOUR AUNT'S.

I'M SORRY, BUT...

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE ME, JUST TELL ME.

NO, IT WASN'T LIKE THAT.

WE WERE GOING TO GO, BUT CINDY'S UNCLE GOT US

THESE FREE TICKETS AND...

CINDY?

YOU WENT WITH CINDY?

BRYANT, TOO, I SUPPOSE.

GREAT, THANKS A LOT.

I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS.

WE ARE FRIENDS.

I DIDN'T TELL YOU SO I WOULDN'T HURT YOU.

SO YOU LIED.

THAT'S LOGICAL.

GO PLAY WITH BAMBI, OR WHATEVER HER NAME IS.

HOW GENEROUS!

THERE'S NOT ONLY YOU-- I'VE GOT A LIFE, TOO!

COULD HAVE FOOLED ME.

YOU NEVER DO ANYTHING WITHOUT SIMON.

THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK.

SEE IF WE GO OUT WITH YOU AGAIN!

I DON'T CARE!

I DON'T NEED TRAITORS

FOR BOYFRIENDS OR BEST FRIENDS.

HE IS HAVING AN AFFAIR?

HE TOLD YOU?

HE DIDN'T HAVE TO.

HE TOLD MY MOM HE WAS AT SCHOOL ALL DAY YESTERDAY.

HE SAID HE DIDN'T GO OUT AT ALL.

HE LIED TO HER, TO ME.

YOU DON'T KNOW IT'S AN AFFAIR.

YOU SAW WHAT HAPPENED.

YOU SAW THE WAY THEY KISSED.

YOU DON'T THINK THEY'RE BOWLING PARTNERS.

WELL...

MAYA!

LOOK, ALL I'M TRYING TO SAY IS

DON'T JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS.

WHY DON'T YOU TALK TO HIM?

I CAN'T EVEN LOOK AT HIM.

COME ON, CAITLIN--

HE'S YOUR DAD!

GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN.

SO TONIGHT'S THE BIG NIGHT-- 20 YEARS!

DO PEOPLE STILL HAVE SEX AFTER 20 YEARS OF MARRIAGE?

WHAT KIND OF A DUMB QUESTION IS THAT?

Man: Attention, students, school jackets are in

and are available through the Student Council.

Don't be seen unless you're wearing the official jacket.

W... WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO FOR SOME PIZZA?

OR TO A MOVIE OR SOMETHING...

T... TONIGHT...

WITH ME?

SURE, WHY NOT?

REALLY?

YEAH.

UH... GREAT!

ALL RIGHT!

I'LL PICK YOU UP AT 6:30?

FINE.

EVERYBODY TAKE YOUR SEATS, PLEASE.

( bell rings )

ALL RIGHT.

GOOD.

I MEAN, GREAT.

Teacher: SETTLE DOWN.

SETTLE DOWN.

CAN WE HAVE QUIET, PLEASE?

Joey: WAY TO GO, STUD MAN!

I CAN'T BELIEVE I ASKED HER.

I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE SAID YES.

HOW COULD SHE RESIST THOSE BABY BLUES, MAN?

WELL, GOOD LUCK

GETTING HOME, GUYS.

NO PROBLEM.

NO PROBLEM, MAN!

THE CAR WILL START.

WELL, I WON'T PUSH IT AGAIN.

YOU WON'T HAVE TO, MAN.

LET'S GO.

( engine starts )

MAN, YOU'RE LUCKY!

HI, MOM.

HI.

YOU'RE HOME EARLY.

I'M MAKING A SPECIAL DINNER.

WON'T BE FOR A WHILE, THOUGH.

YOUR FATHER SAID HE HAD TO WORK LATE.

RIGHT.

OH, HONEY, I'M SORRY.

IT HASN'T BEEN FUN AROUND HERE RECENTLY.

DON'T BLAME YOUR FATHER.

A LOT IS MY FAULT.

I'VE BEEN SO BUSY AT WORK

I HAVEN'T BEEN HERE FOR HIM.

IT'S BEEN TOUGH FOR HIM RECENTLY.

HE'S HAD A LOT ON HIS PLATE.

BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS FOR A BEAUTIFUL LADY.

DARING, THEY'RE WONDERFUL!

THANK YOU.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, SWEETHEART.

WHY DON'T YOU GET SOME GLASSES

WHILE I OPEN THE CHAMPAGNE?

I THOUGHT YOU HAD TO WORK LATE.

THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO THINK.

HI, GORGEOUS.

HI.

TONIGHT I'M TAKING US ALL OUT

TO DINNER.

WHERE SHOULD WE GO?

I DON'T KNOW.

IT'S BEEN SO LONG

SINCE WE'VE BEEN OUT TO DINNER.

HOW ABOUT LE BISTRO?

Mom: OH, WHAT A WONDERFUL EA!

IT'S BEEN AGES SINCE WE'VE BEEN THERE.

I DON'T KNOW.

IT'S GONE DOWNHILL.

HOW DO YOU KNOW, DAD?

BEEN THERE LATELY?

NO, NO-- FRIENDS HAVE TOLD ME.

I KNOW WE CAN FIND SOMEPLACE BETTER.

LET'S THINK.

YOU GUYS GO ALONE.

IT'S YOUR ANNIVERSARY.

YOU DON'T WANT ME TAGGING ALONG.

NO, CAITLIN, COME.

NO, I'M TIRED.

I HAVE WORK TO DO.

I'LL JUST MICROWAVE SOMETHING.

YOU'RE SURE?

YES.

DON'T WORRY ABO ME.

HAVE FUN.

WELL... HERE'S TO 20 YEARS.

AND MORE OF THE SAME.

HAVE I DONE SOMETHING WRONG?

NO, WHY?

YOU'RE SORT OF QUIET.

WHAT, WE HAVE TO TALK?

NO, I'M SORRY.

NO, I'M SORRY.

I SHOULDN'T BE HERE.

OH, I DON'T MEAN YOU...

I JUST MEAN...

I'VE GOT A LOT ON MY MIND.

B.L.T., RIGHT?

WHY WOULD I BE THINKING ABOUT HIM?

WELL, YOU DID GO OUT WITH HIM FOR A LONG TIME...

THAT'S BECAUSE IT TOOK ME THAT LONG TO REALIZE

HE WAS A JERK.

AND TODAY I REALIZED

MY BEST FRIEND IS A JERK, TOO.

WHY SHOULD I BE SURPRISED?

I SHOULD KNOW BY NOW THAT LIFE IS FULL OF SURPRISES.

LOOK, IT'S NOT THAT BAD.

OH, NO? HOW DO YOU KNOW?

LOOK, I'M SORRY.

I KNOW YOU'RE UPSET.

I'M NOT UPSET-- I'M FINE, JUST FINE!

WHY CAN'T PEOPLE GET IT THROUGH THEIR THICK HEADS

THAT I'M PERFECTLY FINE?

TEN MINUTES INTO THE DATE

AND I HAD HER CRYING.

TEN MINUTES?

YOU'RE GOOD!

JOEY...

NO, NO, HE'S RIGHT.

I MESS UP FAST.

FORGET IT-- NO MORE DATING.

I'LL JOIN A MONASTERY.

I'LL WORK WITH LEPERS.

WE HAVE LOTS IN COMMON.

SNAKE.

OH, BOY.

TRY IT NOW!

( engine cranking )

Joey: HANG ON A SEC.

LOOK, UM...

I'M SORRY FOR UPSETTING YOU YESTERDAY.

DON'T BE SORRY.

I'M SORRY.

I WRECKED YOUR EVENING.

YOU DIDN'T WRECK IT.

IT WAS JUST, UH...

REALLY DIFFERENT.

WHEN I GOT HOME, I DID A LOT OF THINKING.

I'VE BEEN BOTTLING A LOT OF STUFF UP.

I WON'T BE READY TO DATE

FOR A WHILE.

RIGHT.

BUT WHEN I AM, MAYBE WE CAN TRY AGAIN

IF YOU STILL WANT.

SURE.

SO, UH...

I DIDN'T MESS UP?

NO, NOT AT ALL.

YOU WERE GREAT.

Joey: OKAY, TRY IT NOW.

I'LL SEE YOU.

( engine cranking )

Joey: OKAY, HANG ON A SEC.

OKAY, TRY IT NOW?

I DIDN'T MESS UP.
