[SCREAMING CONTINUES]

I-I'd like to go... away.

I know I'm supposed to wait in that line, but listen...

I wouldn't even be here if this weren't, like, a dating emergency.

Our cutoff is 25.

Try VH-1.

The reunion's less than a week away.

I just can't believe you turned down a job.

I thought the idea was to impress people.

How am I gonna impress anyone by selling Ban-Lon smocks at Bargain Mart?

- [BEEP] - I'm sick of this. I'm gonna go weigh myself.

[BEEP]

Oh, God!

I've been killing myself for eight days and I gained a pound!

That's impossible. Did you deduct 16 pounds for your shoes?

Just forget it. I'm not going.

What?

Come on. Get real, Michele. We're idiots.

We can't get jobs and boyfriends and lose weight in two weeks.

But I thought you said we could.

[SHOWER RUNNING]

Wow.

God, the top female executives are all so pretty.

Those aren't the actual executives, Michele. Those are models.

Oh, I thought they looked familiar.

God, they really look like executives, don't they?

That's only because they're wearing those stupid suits and phony glasses...

and carrying briefcases.

Huh.

Oh, my God, Michele. That's it!

We can go to the reunion and just pretend to be successful.

Who's gonna know? They're in Tucson, we're here.

We could just show up looking like businesswomen.

Oh, my God! [LAUGHS]

Wait... Ohh.

If the people at the reunion see us drive up in a Nova...

won't they know we're not really businesswomen?

If you can make us the clothes...

I can get us the car. [CHUCKLES]

- Keep telling yourself that. - [CROWD MURMURING]

- I do love those outfits. - Yeah, sure do.

- Oh, great. - Thanks.

Michele made them.

Well, I just sewed them. We both designed them.

- Fifty-fifty. - Wow.

Yeah, that's so cool.

Well, it's been really terrific seeing all of you.

- Come on, Michele. - Oh, okay, bye.

Hi.

I am sorry that I blew your big lie for you.

Hey, that's okay. It was better this way anyway.

It's ironic, isn't it? I really thought you guys had it made in high school.

- Us? - Yes, you.

With your long hair and your long legs...

walking on your legs, flipping your hair.

I can't compete with that. You made Sandy crazy.

And the whole time you were makin' my life hell...

the "A" group was making your life hell; I didn't know.

You know what? I bet in high school everybody made somebody's life hell.

Mm-mmm, not me. Never had the opportunity to make anyone's life hell.

You know what? I bet that's not true. You were really unpleasant.

- You think? - Oh, yeah.

Heather? Oh, I'm off duty.

Um, since you never got around to it in high school...

I was wondering if you could sign my yearbook.

And, uh, please don't tell me to fuck off...

because it really hurts my feelings.

- I hurt your feelings? - Yeah, all the time.

Tremendous! That's tremendous!

Go get your stupid yearbook. I would be happy to sign it.

Okay, great. I'll be right back, okay?

Michele, I think maybe we should leave.

There is no way this reunion is gonna get any better.

Hey, everybody, Sandy Frink just landed in a helicopter!

Sandy Frink has a helicopter?

Yeah, apparently, he's worth, like, millions.

He invented some kind of special rubber or something.

Like for condoms?

Michele.

- After all these years, you still take my breath away. - Thanks.

So you must be, like, the most successful person...

in our entire graduating class.

Well, I guess that depends on how you define "success."

If, to you, success means having a house in Aspen...

one in Acapulco, a penthouse in New York, a mansion in Malibu...

a 60-foot yacht, an eight-seat Windstar...

a Bell Jet Ranger, a Bentley, a personal trainer, a full-time chef...

a live-in masseuse and a staff of 24...

then, yeah... [CHUCKLES]

I guess I am successful.

But no matter how much I accumulate...

there's still one thing I just don't have.

Your own country?

I don't have you, Michele.

Will you dance with me?

Only if Romy can dance with us.

Sure.

[ROMY] See, I told you it would pay off...

to go to those clubs every night.

Oh, come on.

Oh, Jesus, Mary and Joseph. What do you want?

You were right. I was a brain-dead, redneck asshole.

Although I never screwed a sheep or my sister.

Why not? Couldn't catch 'em?

I guess I deserve that.

I was a jerk.

But I was so miserable in high school...

I don't think I spoke more than two words the entire time.

I just couldn't breathe there, you know?

Plus, I had this really bad stutter.

Listen, you, uh, wanna go somewhere quiet?

Somewhere where we can talk?

- You-You wanna talk to me? - Yeah.

Okay, cowboy, I don't know what your trip is...

- but if this is some kind of a sick game... - What? No.

If you fuck with me in any way...

I will rip each and every appendage from your body, starting with your dick.

Capisce?

Look, I j-just w-wanted to talk.

Okay.

What the hell?

- What is your name? - C-Clarence.

- I like your hat, Clarence. - Thank you.

Pick up the pace.

You wait here. I'll prep my chopper.

- Okay. - All right.

- [VOMITING] - Oh, my God, somebody's puking in the bushes.

Eeewww!

Hey, how you guys doin'?

Billy?

Chubbo?

The name is Romy.

Romy and Michele.

So, weren't you guys, like, totally in love with me in high school?

[SCOFFS] She was.

You wanna get a room?

But you're married.

- To Christie. - Yeah, but you've got children...

and you're a successful real estate developer.

I do drywall for her old man's construction company.

And you know this new kid? Don't even know if he's mine.

[GIGGLING] So...

How about that room?

Okay.

Why don't you go and get that room?

Go and wash your face and take off all your clothes...

and I'll be up there in five minutes.

All right.

Your fantasy is gonna come true...

tonight.

- See you later. - Ugh... Okay.

- [BOTH SNICKERING] - God.

- Now he's gonna see what it feels like to wait. - That's such a good one.

- Ladies. - [MICHELE GASPS]

- God, can you believe we're going home in a helicopter? - I know. It's so cool.

I just wish everybody inside the reunion would come out and see us lift off.

Ohh!

Thank you.

Oh. [CHUCKLES]

Oh, my God! I'm so glad you didn't bring your big notebook with you.

- Michele. - [CHUCKLES]

[ROMY] Thanks for stopping by.

Yeah, enjoy your fashions.

Have a Romy and Michele day.

- That was a good one. - Thanks.

I cannot believe how busy we've been.

I know. Hey, maybe we can pay back Sandy this week.

Um, I think we're about, like, two years away from that.

Oh. Okay.

♪♪

Heather, has anyone ever told you that smoking can kill you?

No. No one. Thank you.

Okay, but if you burn it, you bought it.

Like I give a shit. I look like an asshole.

What? Nuh-uh. You look totally cute.

This dress exacerbates the genetic betrayal that is my legacy.

Okay, I don't even know what you're talking about because of those words...

but come here.

- Ow! - God, that has been bugging me.

- Stay away from my bikini area. - Um, okay.

- I'm in a rush. Ring it up if you must. - Okay.

Let me have the tag, please.

Thank you.

You really do look cute.

- You know what? - Huh?

Despite that surly demeanor, I think we've just given her a big gift.

Okay, I mean, to give someone...

like Heather Mooney the chance to express herself through fashion...

We could've really changed her life.

Yeah. For me though, it's like...

I've given birth to my own baby girl, you know?

Only she's, like, a big giant girl...

who smokes and says "shit" a lot.

- You know? - Yeah.

- Yeah. Let's fold scarves! - Okay.

♪♪

- You know what, Michele? - Huh?

I think you are, like, the funnest person I know.

Me too. With you.
