- Oh.

- Later.
- So, what did we decide?

- About what?
- About tonight.

Oh, uh, look, I'll probably get, you know,

hung up with the guys
maybe, you know, later.

- Why don't we just meet at the party?
- All right.

Wouldn't want you waitin' around
for me all night anyway.

- All right. Whatever.
- Cool.

- I'll see ya later?
- Bye.

Bye.

[woman on PA] Attention, all students.

Please have all lockers...

- Slater-san.
- Hey, man.

[both hissing]

- How's it goin'?
- Fixin' to be a lot better, man.

- What time is your party tonight, man?
- 9:30, man.

9:30. Hmm.

Okay. Um, I'll be there, man.

- [chuckles]
- Slater, alligator.

[chuckling] Wait, wait, wait.

I gotta cruise by this afternoon
on a little business,

if you know what I'm talkin' about, so —

- [boy] That's what you're talkin' about.
- That's what I'm talkin' about, man.

[chuckles] Oh, man, I'm fuckin' wasted.

- Walkin' down the hall by myself.
- [giggling]

Smokin' a "J" with 50 elves.

- Later.
- Woodward. Bernstein.

Guess that makes you Deep Throat.

- So, is this a smoked or a liquid lunch?
- Hey.

- Smoked, right?
- [chuckles]

So, guys, are we gonna play poker tonight?

- Mmm, count me out.
- Sure.

I'll probably be going to
Pickford's party later, okay? So —

- No. We should do somethin' like that.
- Yeah.

Goodwin's off on his senior trip.
We can play poker anytime.

- Go to a party?
- "Gotoap—"? Come on.

- Mike. Cynthia.
- Don't worry. It's under control.

- I don't feel comfortable at those things.
- Pick us up at 8:00.

- Okay. All right.
- It's gonna be all right.

Guess we're going to the party then.

- Okay.
- All right.

[sighs] Oh, Mike. I gotta tell you
about this dream I had last night.

- Oh, yeah? Why's that?
- But, um,

- you gotta promise not to tell anyone.
- Yeah, sure.

- No. Say, "I promise."
- Jesus.

- I promise not to tell anyone.
- Okay, thank you.

Um, well —

- Okay, there I am, and I'm gettin' it on —
- [snickers]

you know, with what had
this perfect female body.

Uh-huh.

But — [sighs]

- What? What? What?
- Um, I can't say.

Come on, man. You can't give
a buildup like that and not deliver.

I mean, come on. A perfect female body.
It's not a bad start.

But the head of Abraham Lincoln.

- Ah.
- I mean, the hat and the beard.

Oh, well. Best not think
too deeply on this one, right?

Best not.

I gotta get some stuff
from Mr. Birchfield.

- See you in a few minutes.
- l understand. Right.

I'm sorry.

[girl] Gilligan's transistor radio mouth.
Yeah. That was a good one.

Hey, what about that one
where that sexy surfer guy

catches that huge wave
and lands on the island?

- Oh, yeah!
- Do you remember that?

"Sexy surfer guy."

- The Mosquitoes. They were a rock group.
- [boy] Pink, let's go. Come on.

[girl] Then Ginger and Mary Ann
formed their own group.

I can't go yet
until Miss Wilkes gets here.

So go get Benny and check me out
on the way back, okay?

All right.

- What?
- Coach gave me something to give to you.

- [Pink] They're really doing this.
- Yeah.

He wants them all back by the end of
the day too. Can you believe that one?

- And everybody's signing it?
- Just to get him off our back.

The coaches are being fucking assholes.
Know what I'm saying?

I mean, you sign it, you never
think about it again. Just let it go.

You're gonna make a big deal
out of this, aren't you?

[sighs]

[inhaling]

You — You're gettin' air from there, man.
It's no good. You see this?

- [blowing]
- It's gotta be tight.

You're gonna have to put some gum
around the base of that to get a good hit.

[shores]

[whispers] Slate.

Benny. Psst.

- [Slater] I ain't believin' that shit...
- [whispers] Two minutes.

...about Bonham's one-hour drum solo, man.

One hour of drums? You couldn't
handle that shit on strong acid, man.

- [whispers]
- Okay.

Okay. We're gonna go to the bathroom.

Could you guys let Miss Wilkes know?

All right. This is totally amazing.

"I voluntarily agree to not indulge
in any alcohol, drugs,

or engage in any other illegal activity

that may in any way jeopardize
the years of hard work

we as a team have committed to our goal
of a championship season in '76."

What bullshit.

- The guys are actually signing this crap?
- Apparently.

God, what are they gonna do next?
Give you guys urine tests or something?

I didn't know that drugs and alcohol
were such a big problem

that they had to resort
to neo-McCarthyism.

I think they're just afraid some of us
might be having too good a time.

It's the old age-suppressing-youth thing,
you know.

- "Neo-McCarthyism." I like that.
- Oh, that's good, Tony.

And there you guys were in class trying
to list all the Gilligan's Island episodes

without even a hint of irony.

What in the hell
are you talking about, girl?

- You weren't thinking about it, were you?
- Gilligan's Island?

It's what's called
a male pornographic fantasy.

- Oh, my —
- Think about it.

You're basically alone
on a deserted island

with two readily available women,

one, a seductive sex goddess type,

the other, a healthy girl-next-door type
with a nice butt.

So guys have it all.
The Madonna and the whore.

Women get nothing.

We get a geek,
an overweight middle-aged guy,

some nerdy scientific type, I mean —

The professor is sexy.

Pink! Come on, man.

We're off to raise some hell.
Look at that. Look at that!

- Guys.
- Look at —

- All right. Let's go kick some ass.
- Hey, you guys.

- You guys, wait up.
- What?

- Benny.
- What?

- I have a favor to ask ya.
- What do you need?

Take it easy on my brother
this summer, okay?

- All of you.
- Mitch Kramer?

- Yeah. Mitch Kramer.
- Yeah, yeah.

I'm gonna give him a beating
he'll never forget.

Well, just don't get him
more than the other guys. Any of you.

- Kind of little. All right?
- [Pink] Got our word, sis.

- Little brother'll be okay.
- Thanks. See you guys.

- [slaps]
- Ow!

Benny! [scoffs]

- These guys. I don't know.
- [girl] Oh, you love it.

Oh, there's just a little bit of bullshit
in all that, right?

Major bullshit. He's a dead man.
He's fuckin' dead.

- Shotgun!
- Shotgun!

[radio: rock music playing]

[Benny] Check it out, boys. I've been
waitin' three long years for this one.

[Pink] Oh, yeah.

[Benny] Those junior high kids
are dead meat. I promise you.

- Gonna beat 'em!
- Oh, man. Oh, yeah.

[music stops]

Okay, all you freshman fucks.
Listen up. It's your lucky day.

Usually you'd be spending
your freshman summer

getting your asses busted and
running for your worthless little lives,

but this year,
because we feel so sorry for you,

we're gonna take it easy on you
and save us all a lot of time.

So, if you meet here — right here —

after school today,

you only get one lick from each of us.

But you run like cowards —

well, it's open season
all summer long, boys.

Oh, yeah. Mitch Kramer?

Mitchy. Mitchy, Mitchy, Mitchy.
[chuckling]

- [all laughing]
- We're looking for you, pal.

Your ass will be purple
before the day is over.

Have a nice afternoon. [Kisses]

[laughs]

You better get out of town.

Go spend the summer
with your grandparents or somethin'.

- [pickup engine starts]
- [rock music resumes playing]

Hey, man. You are gonna show up
to our game tonight, aren't you?

[scoffs] Yeah. I'm pitching.
I kind of have to.

How should we inscribe
your tombstone? [laughs]

How about "Ben Over"?

Yeah, right, pissant.
Why aren't they after anybody else?

[boy] They are, man. Believe me.

[boy 2] I know, man.

- [Benny] Come on, Mel. Hop on.
- Let's go, boy.

[radio: "Highway Star" playing]

- Oh, shit.
- [music stops]

Hey, Coach.

So, tell me.

Any of you girls gonna be ready
to play some football this fall?

- Oh, yeah.
- I don't know, Coach.

You know, uh, I been doing so good
in English classes, you know,

I figured I'd take next fall off
and become a writer.

- What do you think about that, huh?
- [all laughing]

Boy, you wouldn't know
how to write your name

if it wasn't stenciled on your locker.

No, seriously. Everybody.
Don't go getting soft on me this summer.

You know, you're sitting around
the pool all day, chasing the muff around.

- Break down!
- [all grunt]

Hell, man. My grandmother's quicker
and tougher than you pansies.

Of course, she's 6'3", 250.

- [mouthing words]
- Runs a 4.5 40.

- [chattering]
- What's the matter with you, Floyd?

What, quarterbacks don't have to do
what their coaches say? Is that it?

Dawson, did you give him
that pledge sheet?

- Huh?
- The pledge sheet. You give it to him?

Yeah, Coach. It's right here.

Randy, if you could get that
back to us by the end of the day,

we'd feel a lot better about it.

- You guys see that he does this, okay?
- All right, Coach.

[Mel] See ya, Coach.

- Randy Floyd.
- [Pink] Aw, shit.

Before next fall, you're in need of
a serious attitude adjustment, young man.

You better get your priorities straight.

And watch out with that other crowd
you're runnin' with.

Don't think I haven't noticed.

- Hey!
- Uh-oh, Pink.

I want that piece of paper on my desk
before you leave here today.

Do you hear me?

[Benny] Get an attitude adjustment.
You know what I mean?

- Priorities straight, buddy.
- Runs with a bad crowd.

- Bad people.
- Watch yourself.

Yeah, well, I've got Coach's
and everybody else's

attitude-adjusted priorities right here.

- Yeah, that's good, Pink.
- Yeah.

[Dawson]
Oh! Did you know O'Bannion flunked?

[Benny] Yeah. What a dumb-shit.

[engine off]

Whoo! Y'all ready to bust some ass?
[laughs]

- What's up, Don? Benny. Melvin.
- Hey.

- See ya later.
- Good to see ya.

- Talk to you in half an hour. Okay?
- Yeah.

Hey. We gotta take your truck.
I'm low on gas. All right?

- We need to take my truck?
- Yeah. Okay?

- Yeah.
- Good.

- What are you doing? Picking up trash?
- What? What?

Man, I was just waiting for one of them
idiot coaches to piss me off again.

I think you take the whole thing
a little too personal.

I think you just gotta —
You gotta shake it off.

Don, have you ever thought about
why we play football?

How many times have you gotten laid
strictly because you're a football player?

- I don't know. A few probably.
- A few?

Don, all I'm saying is that
I bet we could do just as well

if we were in a band or somethin'.

Well, I gotta put in
a final appearance. So —

Wait a minute.
Who you got goin' in there? Shh.

[whispers] Vicky. Vicky!

Come on. Let's skip out.
Let's go get naked right now. Let's go.

Come on. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

- Mr. Dawson.
- Yeah.

Why don't you take it somewhere else?

Oh, Mr. Floyd. Are you gracing us
with your presence today?

Uh, might as well.

Janie, I was thinking maybe you and I
can get together over the summer.

It'll be legal. We could make things
happen. I'll keep it mum's the word.

I promise. I swear to you.

At the party tonight, I heard there's
gonna be a girl with knockers this big.

- Bullshit.
- Promise.

- Shut up, Carl.
- Two handfuls.

- No way.
- Yes.

- Uh-uh.
- Hey.

Hey. [mouthing words]

Pentico got his brother's car. Let's go.

- Cool, man.
- Cool.

- Go talk to him.
- I'm not going alone.

Come on. Come on. Ask him.

[Mitch] Uh, Mr. Payne, sir,

you know, every second
that you could let us out early

would really increase
our chances of survival.

It's like our sergeant told us
before one trip into the jungle.

"Men!

Fifty of you are leaving on a mission.
Twenty-five of ya ain't comin' back."

[sighs] Okay.

[teacher]
You know, the '68 Democratic Convention

was probably the most bitchin' time
I ever had in my life.

- [bell rings]
- Hey, guys. One more thing.

This summer, when you're being inundated

with all this American bicentennial
Fourth of July brouhaha,

don't forget what you're celebrating,

and that's the fact that a bunch of
slave-owning aristocratic white males

didn't want to pay their taxes.

- [boy] Yeah!
- Have a good summer.

What's fascinating is the way not only
the school, but the entire community

seems to be supporting this —
or at least turn their heads.

They apparently have permission
to use the parking lot.

No parents seem to mind.
They're selling concessions.

- I mean —
- I know.

Well, seniors, we tried.
We — We gave you all a chance.

But since you little prick-teases
can't follow instructions,

we're just gonna have to try

- Hi.

- Hello there.
- I would like for you to propose to Tony.

Oh, God.

Will you marry me?

- What am I supposed to say here?
- I — I don't know.

Um, what'll you do for me, huh?

Um, anything you want.

- Imagine the possibilities.

No, seriously, you can stand up.

- Um, what's your name?
- Sabrina.

- I'm Tony.
- Hi.

- Anthony, actually.
- Sorry.

- This is Mike.
- Hey.

We were just discussing the utter
stupidity of these initiation rituals

and we were — we're kind of wondering
why someone like you

would subject yourself
to the losing end of it all.

What are we having? Social hour over here?

I'm supposed to be being a bitch.
Back to the pit.

All right, kiddo.
It's almost over. Don't worry about it.

So, uh, am I mistaken,

or was there a little unspoken thing
going on with that young vixen?

- You stud.
- You know how it is.

I bet she's pretty cute
once you clean all the shit off her.

I bet she is.

Okay, girlies! It's hot out here, and I'm
really sick of looking at all of you.

So let's just — Let's get out of here.

What are you looking at?
Wipe that face off your head, bitch.

Let's go! Get in the truck!

Get in the truck! Come on!

You know, maybe if you ever
left the poker table —

Maybe if / ever left the poker table?
What about you?

Whatever. I mean, the point is, that's why
we're going out tonight. You know?

Who knows? You might experience
something a little more tangible

than an Abraham Lincoln dream.

- That's a hairline fracture right there.
- Shit.

- What's that about?
- I wouldn't doubt it.

- My boy Benny was wearing their asses out.
- Shit.

I just gave him
a little beating he'll never forget.

Here's to ya, Ma.

That's your fucking mother.

Just do it for us, man.

- You picked this thing up?
- Yeah. You know.

Hey. What are you doin'?

- He ain't doin' shit now.
- What?

Got any more details of my life you got
figured out you can let me in on, Ben?

- I got lots of details.

- Hey, O'Bannion, what are you doing?
- What's happening?

- [chattering]
- Oh, you didn't hear, did you?

- What?
- I got a shotgun pulled on my ass.

- No way!

Hey, Dad, Ma. What's up?

- Did you order some kegs of beer?
- No.

Well, there's a fella in a beer truck
out on the street that says you did.

[Pickford] Oh, really?

- Yeah.
- Just a sec.

Shit.

- That guy said I ordered a keg of beer?
- Yeah.

He said it was to be delivered
to the Pickford residence.

- This address?
- This address.

[chuckles] That's kind of funny. Why don't
I go out there and see what's goin' on?

Yeah. I think you better.

to show up and let 'em know

[chuckles]

I'm just saying, if we're gonna drive
around, we should do something — Ohh!

Yeah. You know, you're right, man.

I'm just gonna, you know, get drunk,
maybe get laid, or get in a fight.

No, I'm serious, man!
We should be up for anything!

I know. We are. But what?

I mean, God, don't you ever feel like

everything we do
and everything we've been taught

is just to service the future?

Yeah, I know.
It's like it's all preparation.

Right. But what are we
preparing ourselves for?

- Death.
- [Tony] Life of the party.

[Mike] It's true.

You know, but that's valid.

Because if we're all gonna die anyway,
shouldn't we be enjoying ourselves now?

You know? I'd like to quit thinking
of the present — like, right now —

as some minor, insignificant preamble
to somethin' else.

Exactly!

That's what everybody in this car needs —

some good old, worthwhile
visceral experience.

Be goin' a lot better

Yeah, I hear that.

- Oh, yeah.

- Just graduated.
- Graduated. Congratulations.

- So, you off to college in the fall?
- Uh, you know, I'm still not sure.

I'm workin' right now for the city.

Thinkin' of holding on to the job
for a while.

- You know, it's money in my pocket.
- I hear that.

Here's some more money for your pocket.

- You have a nice night tonight.
- Okay. Thanks.

Hey, take it easy.

Psst! Hey, Mitch.

Hey. There you guys are.

- Hey, man, what's in the bag?
- Ah, a sixer.

- You owe me one, man.
- [chuckles] Yeah.

They busted the hell
out of Hirshfelder too.

- Yeah, I heard.
- Hey, man, you're over at the Emporium?

Oh, yeah.

Hey, is that bastard O'Bannion over there?

Hey, good game, man. You too.

Y'all are an embarrassment

that I even let you play at my table.

You are the worst pool player

Carl Burnett. What about him?

Hey, man. That Julie chick? Loves you.

Oh, yeah. You want her?

Gotta play it cool, you know.
Can't let her know how much you like her.

‘Cause if she knows,
she'll dump you like that. Believe me.

If she asks you to ride out there
with her, don't do it. Say something like,

"Nah. Got my own ride.
But maybe I'll see you later."

Sounds stupid, doesn't it? It works.

Whoo-ee! Whee!
We got another one, huh, fellas?

Whoa-whoa-whoa. Guys, guys.

You wouldn't mind if I went first,
would ya?

Is that all right?

It's kind of a personal thing between me

Just now, man, when you walked past.
What'd you say?

A-About what?

You said, "Someone's tokin' some reefer."

[chuckles] No, I may have said something
about smelling some pot.

Kick some ass and drink some beer.

- Looks like we're almost out of beer.

- You okay, man?
- Yeah. [sighs]

[Mitch]
Why is it called the moon tower, anyway?

Uh, I guess they decided
to put it up out here

whenever they were
building the power plant.

Actually, it's a good idea.

You got a full moon out here
every day of the year. You know?

Yeah, but nothing's ever been repaired,

so this whole place
could fall down at any time.

So you'd better watch your step, junior.

Whoa!

This place used to be off-limits, man,

‘cause of some drunk freshman
who fell off.

He went right down the middle,
smackin' his head on every beam, man.

I hear it doesn't hurt
after the first couple, though.

Autopsy said he had one beer, man.
How many did you have?

[sighs] Four.

You're dead, man. You're so dead.

- Look at the bloodstains right there.

[Mitch laughing] Shut up.

- That asshole on the way in — Clint.

Super-dominant male
in a '560s greaser uniform.

I wouldn't suggest that, Mike.
[chuckles]

Look, man, I got it all planned out.

Most fights in places like this
never get past a punch or two

before they're broken up.

There's almost a natural instinct
not to upset the herd.

All I gotta do is get in one good punch,
play defense, and wait.

- [laughing] What?
- What are you talking about?

I-1-I guess at first I was relieved
to get out of the situation,

but now there's this level
of humiliation setting in

that I can tell is gonna be with me
for-fucking-ever!

I'm just not gonna let this be
yet another situation

which contributes to me being a little,
ineffectual nothing the rest of my life.

- Slater, what's happenin', man?
- What's goin' on, man?

- Guys, what's goin' on?
- Nothing!

- Pickford, what do you know?
- What time is it? God.

Let's go smoke a joint, man!

On the 50-fuckin'-yard line,
in honor of your daddy, Coach Conrad.

We're there! Great idea!

- [Wooderson] The man with the plan.
- Wanna come with me?

Okay.

[Dawson] Hey.

Joint subcommittee meeting
on the 50-yard line in 15. You there?

- Okay.
- [Wooderson] Don, y'all ride with me, man.

Let's hit it.

- This is cashed, man.
- It's in there, man.

You can ride with us, man, but you're
ridin' in the back, 'cause I got shotgun.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- H-Hey!

- Hey, hey, hey! Watch the leather, man!
- [Dawson yelling]

[giggles]

- Oh, fuck it!
- [engine starts, revving]

[Dawson] Don't you quit!
Do you wanna hit him?

- [Pink] He was wide open!
- [Dawson] Do you want to hit him?

[Pink] Jesus, son!
You're wearing Rebel gray!

- Now, break down! Break down!
- I'm sorry, Coach.

I want you on him like stink on shit!
I say, stink on shit!

Break down! You don't deserve
to wear that Rebel gray, boy!

You don't deserve to wear it!
You won't hit him? You won't hit him?

OTSS! Only the strong survive!

- Only the strong survive!
- Only the strong survive, boy!

- Only the strong survive!
- That's it!

Now, where's your pitch man?
Hit your goddamn pitch man!

[all yelling, laughing]

He fumbles!

- [laughing, yelling continues]
- [Slater] Hey, man!

Hell, my grandmother
can hit harder than that!

[Slater] What the fuck, man?

Course, she's an 8' 4",
652-pound, hairy-ass gorilla,

drives a Mack truck
and runs the 40 in 10.2.

Hell, she's gotten bigger lately, man.
She was only 6'2", 195 in my day.

Still drives that Mack truck though.

Hey, Pink, you got my papers, man?

Uh, yeah, there's some
in my glove compartment.

I got 'em. Hit me on a slant.
Give me the keys to an inside.

Hut. Down!

- Marijuana on one!
- [girls laughing]

Reefer on two!

- Hut! Hut!
- [laughing continues]

- [Wooderson] Wide open!
- [Dawson, Pink groaning]

I got it! Sweet!

On! [yelling, indistinct]

[Mike] That's pretty good.

- Don't you think?
- Yeah.

Could be, like, a little — I don't know.
Maybe perhaps a little more symmetrical.

- Does that hurt?
- Oww!

- Yes! Pl — It —
- Sorry. Sorry.

- It's a bruise.
- Okay.

I don't know.
Let me ask you something, though.

I mean, I got some
pretty good ones in there.

I mean, it's not like I — You wouldn't
say I got my ass kicked, right?

Oh, no. You know — I don't know.

After a couple years, people won't even
remember, really, who won or lost.

Yeah — No, you're right.

You read about, like, Jackson Pollock
or Ernest Hemingway —

You never read about who won or lost,
just, they got into a brawl.

Right. Exactly.

Well, uh, thanks for the ride
and breakfast and everything.

No problem.

Sure is nice to pile on
some pancakes and syrup

after a night of beer drinking, isn't it?

[Sabrina giggles]

Un —

Good night.

Good night.

[engine starts]

[Tony] Hope you're not grounded
or anything.

- Thanks.
- [car door closes]

"Not to indulge in any alcohol,
drugs, sex after 12:00

or any other illegal activity — "

- Oh, not my shadow.
- Slater, pay me for that.

Found that in your glove compartment, man.

You're the third person
who's given me this today. God.

- What do you reckon you're gonna do?
- [sighs] I don't know.

I'll probably end up signing it.
I just don't wanna give in so easy.

Man, it's the same bullshit
they tried to pull in my day.

If it ain't that piece of paper,

it's some other choice
they're gonna try and make for ya.

You gotta do what Randall "Pink" Floyd
wants to do, man.

And let me tell you this —

The older you do get, the more rules
they're gonna try to get you to follow.

You just gotta keep livin', man.
L-I-V-I-N.

[girls laughing]

Man, if you're gonna sign that paper, man,

you should throw a little grass
right in the middle,

roll it up, sign the joint, man.

- That's gonna tell 'em something.
- [Pink] That's what I'll do. Assholes.

Yeah, so what? They're all assholes.

But think about it. We've had
a lot of good times right here, Pink.

[Simone] Yeah, I mean, come on, Pink.
I can't believe this.

You act like you're so oppressed.
Man, you guys are kings of the school.

You get away with whatever you want.
What are you bitching about?

Look, all I'm saying is,

if I ever start referring to these
as the best years of my life,

remind me to kill myself.

[Dawson] All I'm saying is,
I just wanna look back and say

that I did it the best I could
while I was stuck in this place,

had as much fun as I could
when I was stuck in this place,

played as hard as I could
when I was stuck in this place,

dogged as many chicks as I could
when I was stuck in this place.

[laughing]

Yeah, right, Mr. Premature Ejaculation.

- Ooh!
- [Wooderson laughing]

Oh, that's good. That's good.

- That's good, baby.
- You know it's true.

- [Simone] Is that the cops?
- What the hell?

- [Wooderson] Oh, shit.
- Hey! All of you!

Get over here!

- Now!
- Hey, man, ditch that pot.

[Simone]
Is it illegal to be on the football field?

- I got some more in this fuckin' bag.
- Dump it, dump it, dump it.

- [Simone] Come on, Slater.
- [Slater] What'd we do?

[Simone] You got any Visine?

Man, I can't believe this.

[Wooderson] If it ain't ol' Richard Wrath.
How you doin', Dick?

Well, well, well.
Couple of football players.

Wonder what Coach
is gonna think of all this.

Line up.

- Wooderson.
- Slavey.

Relivin' old glories
on the football field?

Get through there!

You shouldn't still be mad
‘cause I got all-district and you didn't.

- What?

Floyd! Dawson!
Get your scrawny butts over here.

[Dawson] Mornin', Coach.

So what the hell's goin' on?

Why am I gettin' wake-up calls
from the cops?

- That was nothin'. They left just now.
- False alarm, Coach.

Come here, Randy. Come here.

You been out with those losers all night?

Hey, Coach Conrad.

Remember me? Second period gym class?

That's the kind of people
I was telling you about.

Trouble like this means nothing
to that bunch of clowns.

You're the one with something to lose.

- Coach, you don't even know them.
- Randy —

How can you even pretend
to talk that way? Huh?

Okay, Randy, I shouldn't do this,

but I'm willing to wipe the slate clean
and forget about all this.

I want you to finally
get your priorities straightened out,

quit hanging out
with that bunch of hoodlums

and sign your commitment to your team.

- Have you done that yet?
- I'm still thinkin' about it.

No one's paying you to think about it.
Just do it, son!

You know, Coach...

I gotta get going.

Me and my loser friends,
we gotta go get Aerosmith tickets.

Top priority of the summer.

Oh, uh, Coach, uh, I forgot.

I might play ball...

but I will never sign that.

[sighs]

[engine starts]

[Pink] Let's rock and roll.

All right, man! Livin'!

Shit, I'm gettin' my third wind.
Let's get on the road.

- Let's go. You gonna come, man?
- Shotgun!

- [laughing]
- Talk to you later, then.

- You guys not goin'?
- Can I use your keys?

- Yeah.
- Time to boogie on outta here.

- Hey.
- Let's do it.

So that's that, huh?

All right.

Slate. Aah!

I never get shotgun.

[gasps] Uh, hi, Mom.

Mmm, okay, Mitchell. [chuckles]

This is your one
get-out-of-jail-free card,

so I hope you enjoyed it.

No.

Your sister told me everything, so I've
decided to make this deal with you.

I'm — I'm gonna be open-minded
about it this time.

But... next time you come in at sunrise,

we've got problems.

And, uh, who is this older girl
who gave you a ride?

[groans] She's just, like —

- Have you been drinking?
- No!

Are you drunk?
