- Checking out the new guy, Case?

- No. I was just enjoying a muffin.

But who is the new guy? - Well, let's see what I got.

He moved here from Toronto,

went to a private school and he goes by Truman.

- Hey, I moved here from Toronto and I went to a private school!

- I would steer clear. He may look like a ten,

but he is a total zero.

- Em, that's kind of harsh. - Harsh?

He's been here three days and he's already graded every single girl in our grade.

- What?! That is outrageous

and ridiculous and demeaning and... what did I get?

- What? What difference does it make? It's, it's wrong.

- Oh, yeah. I totally agree. So what did I get?

- Um, I don't like raisins in my muffins. You like raisins in your muffins?

- Emily, don't change the subject. What did I get?

- You know the bran muffin is totally overrated. Compared to cranberry?

- Em, just tell me! I'm not going to get my feelings hurt,

like when I was six. - Six and a half.

- Years or points? - Your Truman rating?

Six and a half. - Six and a half?!

That is ridiculous, outrageous and demeaning!

- Ah, come. Let's go to class. - What did you get?

- I have no idea. - Em, just tell me.

Seven? Seven and a half?

Eight? Eight and a half? Nine?!

Ten?! - Nine.

- [Gasps]: O'clock or points?

- ♪ Used to be my mother and my sister and me ♪

♪ A happy little family and all right with me ♪

♪ But Mom got married, that's when everything changed ♪

♪ Some things were lost and others were gained ♪

♪ A new school... A new house... ♪

♪ So many changes it makes my head spin ♪

♪ Now I've got a brother who gets under my skin ♪

- High school is a daily fashion show

where the hallways are like runways.

Girls worry about their looks instead of worrying

about the important things in life. Which isn't boys.

Really!

- So, Casey. I heard about your rating.

- You know about the Truman list?

- What's a Truman list?

- Some new guy has rated all the girls in our grade.

- No! - Yes. Isn't that outrageous?

- No! It's hilarious. - Wish I'd thought of it.

- So, what'd you get? - I bet she got a ten.

- I bet Casey doesn't care what that kind of guy thinks of her.

- I bet you're right.

- Ah, can we talk about something else, please?

- That bad, eh? - Six and a half.

- Six and a half? Ouch! - I could care less

about some jerk's evaluation of my appearance.

Do you know how much time and money girls spend

trying to look good? What if they spent all that time

and money inventing something for the good of humanity?

- Like, uh, better beauty products!

- [Laughing]: Nice!

Not high-five nice. - Oh.

- Huh!

- Um, bad day?

- In need of some chocolate therapy. Thanks, Sal.

- Okay.

Hello. And what can I get you?

- Let's see... ah, how about...

Your phone number?

- Um, that's not on the menu.

- It's the only thing in here that interests me.

- Then perhaps you should try another restaurant?

- Isn't the customer always right? - Yes,

but you are not a customer because you're not ordering anything on the menu.

- Good point. I'll have an iced tea.

- You got it. - And your phone number.

Fine, forget the phone number. Email's fine, too.

- Where do all the single socks go?

- Hm, one of life's tough questions.

- George, I have a question.

When deciding if you like a girl, what's more important,

her looks or her personality?

- One of life's tougher questions!

- Seems like an easy answer to me.

- Well, it's her personality, of course!

- So, uh, you didn't think I was pretty when you first met me?

- Are you kidding? No! I thought you were a knockout!

- Then you didn't notice my sparkling personality?

- I didn't say that! Can we just talk about socks?

- Please, explain what you mean. - Well. Okay, okay, okay.

Looks might get a guy's interest,

but they can't keep it. - So it's a good thing I have

a great personality because you no longer think I'm great looking?

- No! No! No!

Every day we spend together you get more and more beautiful.

- Nice try, Venturi.

- What's the right answer?

- If you don't know I'm not tellin'!

- Ouh!

I think you just answered my question.

- I don't even remember the question!

But please don't ask it again!

- Uh, waitress?

- Waiter, actually.

So you're the new kid at SJS. Newman, right?

- Ah, Truman actually. So uh, what happened to the waitress?

- Oh, you mean my girlfriend? - Girlfriend?

That's too bad. She's really something.

- Yeah, she is. And I'd appreciate it

if you kept her off your little rating sheet.

- Ah, so you heard about that.

- Way to get attention at your new school.

- Well, us new kids gotta make an impression somehow.

- Well "new kid", I'm gonna be your server

for the rest of the evening so, uh, what are you gonna have?

- You know, I preferred the blond, she's a total nine.

- Ten. And tough.

You get me.

- Hey, how come you look like that? Is it picture day?

- I look the same as I always look.

- Trying to get a better score from that guy?

- No! But how do I look? - Same as always. Great.

- Oh, Casey. I know I'm supposed to ask if I can borrow something

before I put it on, but I was just so bored with my own clothes.

- Oh! Trying to look good for George?

- No! But how do I look? - Great.

- Mmm. Seems kinda... "try-hardy."

- Yeah, well you know what, Liz? Women can wear whatever they want whatever their age!

- So now I'm unfashionable and old?

Excuse me while I go put my old lady clothes back on!

Oh, and by the way,

do you have any sensible shoes I can borrow?

- Honey, that's not what I meant.

And, anyway, your feet are bigger than mine.

[Door shuts] [Gasps]

- I'm sorry, Mom! I'll never be honest again, I promise!

- I'm ready for school!

- Ah, you sure are!

- Do you like my pigtails? - Mm-hm.

- No. - Huh?

- I love your pigtails. - Me too.

♪♪

- Nice outfit. - Thanks. You too.

- This old thing? - Old?

- This brand new thing?

- Emily, look at what this stupid

Truman rating has us both doing!

- Looking good? - You always look good, Em.

But girls would never rate guys in such a superficial, degrading way.

- I know! Girls are way more evolved than that.

- Emily, tell me you don't rate guys in your hallway research book.

- I would never!

...Tell you about it.

- It's colour-coded? Emily, what does red mean?

- Hot. - And blue?

- Not. But at least I don't number grade them or anything!

- You put Truman in the hot category?

- Give me that. Totally a mistake. He's strictly yellow.

- Huh? - Proceed with caution.

- You guys are looking spiffy. Trying to boost your rating?

- Please. Your rating is insulting to our intelligence...

Though we are curious as to how you can rate someone without even meeting them.

- Well, we're meeting now. I'm Truman.

- Casey. - Emily.

- Nice to meet you both. And Casey, now that we've talked,

I'm willing to go up to six and three-quarters.

- [Gasps]: Can you believe that guy?

- He really is cute.

But his behavior is despicable!

- Casey! Look at you, just hanging in the hallway!

- In between classes. Who'da thunk it?

You're organizing a fashion show?

- First annual! Do you love the theme?

- Yeah, I do. You know, it's really cool

that you're celebrating individuality.

- Fashionable individuality.

Nothing freaky, funky, or...

Funny. - "Funny"?

- Kidding! Little sensitive today? Don't feel bad.

Didn't you just get bumped up a quarter?

- Six and a half! - Six and a half of what?

- My score! My six and a half that just got upgraded

to six and three-quarters because of my "personality"!

- Uh, what class is that from? - Oh, it's not from a class.

It's a rating from a classless new guy.

- So some joker's rating girls. The Casey that I know wouldn't even give that a second thought.

- That's what's bothering me so much! That it's really bothering me!

And it's not just me. Lucy got a five and she was crying in the bathroom.

Elsie got a seven and now she's getting coloured contacts.

I mean, it's silly to care, but for some reason we do!

- Well, I know how it feels to be insecure about your looks.

I wasn't always this dashingly handsome man you see before you.

- Excuse me? - Mm.

- Oh! Oh, you're...

You're adorable...

- My ears were too big, my head was too small!

They called me Dweebie-Greebie! - Oh, oh! That is, that's mean.

- You're laughing at my painful memory?

- [Laughing]: No, no, no! Not at all. You were cute! Really!

- Casey, Emily! In the lunchroom?

- At lunch, who'da thunk it? - So, how goes the fashion show?

- How would you two like to join the executive committee?

I've done most of the planning, but I really need help with the little things.

- So you want us to do the grunt work? - What a great idea!

- So, should we put a list together of our favourite stores as potential sponsors?

- No need, I've already done that.

Plus I've thought of a perfect way to pick the models.

- You don't mean-- - The Truman rating!

That way it's totally fair because it's scientific.

All the models have to be at least a seven but, Casey,

since you're a six and three-quarters,

I'm totally fine with rounding you up.

- Kendra, the Truman rating isn't scientific.

It's just one creepy guy's opinion. Right, Em?

- Um... - Ladies.

Ah, it's Carrie, right? Kendra.

- 'Sup, Truman. - So Emily. Pick you up at 7?

- Hm? - Um, sure.

- You again? With Emily?

- What, is she your girlfriend too?

- No, she's a... friend. - "She" is sitting right here.

- Then can I have a word with her? Uh, you?

- Sure. I'll be back in a sec. - Take your time.

I'll check out the scenery.

- What are you doing? - I'm on a date with Truman.

- Uh, yeah. I know. Why are you going out with him?

- Not that I have to explain myself, but it's no big deal.

He's cute, he asked me out, I said yes. End of story.

- No, it's not the end of the story because he was here last night, hitting on Sally.

- Well, it's sweet of you to care, but please butt out.

- Emily, I'm a guy. And guys can tell stuff about other guys,

kinda like girls can tell stuff about other girls.

It's called the... "guy-dar".

- Derek, you need to turn your guy-dar off

and trust that I know what I'm doing, okay?

- Emily has no idea what she's doing!

- I know! Wait, how do you know?

- 'Cuz I saw her at the restaurant tonight.

With Truman, the day after he hit on Sally!

- That guy is doing a number on both of us.

You know what, Derek? I think he's playing games with you.

- With me? - I bet he's trying to get your goat.

- Well, he's welcome to my goat.

Just my girlfriend is off limits.

- I mean, he's deliberately trying to provoke you.

Maybe he sees you as some kind of rival.

It's like a "Hey I'm cooler than you" stand-off.

- Interesting.

- You think something I said was interesting?

- Yeah. Hey, even a broken clock's right twice a day.

- I love sleepovers. Thanks for inviting me!

- I'm glad you could come. This'll be fun!

- Yeah. But no snoring, 'kay?

- I do not snore. - Yes you do.

Just after you drool. [Giggles]

And can you wake me up early in the morning so I can choose my outfit?

- Marti, when you decide what to wear,

do you worry about what other people will think?

- Nah. I worry about what I think.

I think clothes should be...

Fun and original. And "me".

- You are pretty smart, Smarti.

- And you are pretty snorey, Casey.

- Ah! I don't snore!

- You snore! Fine. [Laughing]

- Don't forget! Fashion show meeting today at lunch.

- Yeah, um, I've been thinking about that, Kendra,

and if you're going to use the Truman-rating to pick your models,

then I don't want to be on the committee.

- Oh, well that's okay. I decided not to use the Truman rating.

- Well, that's a relief. - 'Cuz I'm going to use Truman!

He agreed to co-chair the fashion show committee.

We're going out tonight to discuss it. - On a date?

- [Sighs]: Could be!

- That guy is totally, utterly...

[Hits her head] Ouh! Unbelievable!

- Uh, What? You've always been a klutz.

- Not that. Want to hear the latest?

- Ah, since when do we do this? - Do what?

- Talk in the halls?

- It's about Truman and your ex-girlfriend Kendra!

- You were saying? - The night before last:

your girlfriend Sally. Last night: our friend Emily.

Tonight: your ex-girlfriend Kendra! Do you see a pattern here?

- So what if I do? - Make him stop!

Give him a thorough tongue-lashing! - A what?

- Make him answer for his insulting behaviour.

That guy gets away with way too much.

- Why do you care?

Oh! Because of the six and a half?

- No! It's because he's rude and arrogant

and someone needs to tell him off!

And it's six and three-quarters!

- Oh ho! If it isn't my...

favourite customer in his favourite booth.

- Derek, we're having a meeting.

- Yeah, mind if I have words with Truman before your meeting?

- You really like "having words," huh?

- Derek, please! - It's okay.

- So, Sir Dates-a-lot, what kind of point are you trying to prove

by asking out my girlfriend,

my ex-girlfriend and a girl who's my friend?

- Is that what you think? - I think you're trying to get my goat.

- Your what? - So does Casey.

- You know Casey? - Ah, yeah. She's my stepsister.

But, seriously, why do you keep asking out girls I know?

- Actually I was trying to ask out girls Casey knows.

- Casey? The girl you rated six and a half?

- Six and three-quarters and,

please, keep my strategy to yourself.

- Strategy?

- Oh! You mean the old

"rig-the-rating-system-then- make-her-jealous-by-dating- her friends" strategy?

- That is the strategy. - Look, Truman, I admire your nerve,

but your strategy backfired. She can't stand you.

- Oh! Well, that... that wasn't the strategy.

- No.

- You guys aren't gonna fight over me, are you?

- [Both]: No.

- [Disappointed]: Oh.

- Casey, what are you wearing? - Some old clothes of Edwin's.

I'm making an anti-fashion statement.

Caring about clothes is wrong.

Plus I'm going to get as many girls as possible to boycott Kendra's fashion show.

- Oh, good for you.

- Yeah, I guess, but I'm conflicted because

I love clothes and... [Sniffs]

Edwin's smell funny.

Whatcha got there? - Just some groceries.

- Then why do I hear the rustle of tissue paper?!

Lemme see!

- Okay, I felt stupid the other morning wearing your clothes,

but I still want to look great even if I am married

and have a house full of kids. Lame, huh?

- Not at all!

- Ahh! Oh, I love it! Can I borrow it?

- Can I wear it first?

- Mom. Trendy jeans, too?

- I felt so great when I put them on.

- You know, I am so impressed.

You know, you and Marti are going to be my new fashion inspirations.

- I'd take that as a compliment, but Marti has been known to wear bathing caps to school.

- But that's the point. Marti's not dressing for anyone but herself.

The answer isn't my anti-fashion statement!

It's wearing what makes you feel good.

Oh, Edwin, you can have your stinky clothes back! Ew!

- What gives?

- I am putting on my own alternative fashion show.

- Is this because of Truman and because I went out with him last night?

- No. This is because I don't want anything to do with a guy

who goes out of his way to make a lot of girls, including me,

feel bad about themselves. And I don't want any part

of a fashion show that caters to that kind of thinking.

- It's just the way the world works.

- Casey, I'm sorry about Truman, okay? I should never have dated a guy like that.

- Well, forget Truman. I have a fashion show to organize!

Would you like to be in it? - Yeah!

Who are the other models? - Any girl that wants to be one.

- Welcome to the Alternative Fashion Show

where all models are wearing...

Well, whatever makes them feel good. And that's the point!

- Hi.

- Bummed you didn't get to choose models

for Kendra's fashion show? - It was good it was cancelled.

- I wasn't trying to sabotage Kendra's thing, you know.

- But you did want to sabotage me because of my list.

- Well, yeah.

- My plan worked better than I thought it would.

- What plan?

- The plan to get your attention.

- You gave me a lousy score to get my attention?!

- Casey, no guy in their right mind would give you

a six and a half. You're...

Beautiful.

- And you're... pretty cute.

But your personality? Needs a lot of work.

[Cheering]

- [Casey]: I'm the klutz? [Drops his bag]

- Alright! - Lizzie!

- Liz! [Cheering]

- I don't even remember the question!

Please don't answer that... Ask it again.
