[theme music]

On Saturday, I was thinking
maybe we could go to a concert

or the ballet.

Yeah, dinner's fine.

Excuse me.
What was that?

- What was what?
- You were looking at Viki.

Uh, I wasn't lookin' at her.
I was just saying hello.

Don't you think it's a little
rude to be talking to someone

when you're thinking about
someone else, Alex?

Eric?

Excuse me.
What was that?

- What was what?
- You just called me Alex.

Oh, and I suppose you're going
to read something into that.

Dennis, I have got the greatest
idea for my biology project.

I proved scientifically,
which came first

the chicken or the egg.

Obviously, it was the chicken.

No, it was the egg.

- It was the chicken.
- It was the egg.

- Chicken. Chicken!
- Egg.

Will you listen to yourself?

This is my science project

a-and you still
have to one-up me.

You-you're always trying
to get in the last word.

- No, I don't.
- Yes, you do.

- No, I don't.
- Yes, you do.

- No, I don't!
- Yes, you do!

Excuse me, uh

it seems each of you
thinks the other

always has the last word.

- That's right.
- That's right.

Well, there you go.

Now, each of you
has had the last word

simultaneously.

So, the next one who speaks
to the other loses.

Simone, can I talk
to you for a second?

Uh, tell me if I'm out
of line here, but..

...would you like to
go out Friday night?

Oh, Alex,
that is so sweet.

I'm so flattered.

Was that a yes?

No, um, Eric and I.
Well..

Hey, I understand.
It's no.. It's cool.

No, uh..

I mean, Eric and I
go out, sure.

But, we're not exactly,
you know, you know?

No, I don't know.
Which is it?

I don't know.

[instrumental music]

In fact, uh

by participating
in our revolution

the French had virtually
wiped out their finances

which became a leading factor
in their own revolution.

And so, with the help of this
nifty little bibliography

I'd like, oh, say

'fifteen hundred words
by Monday'

uh, comparing
the two revolutions.

[school bell ringing]

Au revoir, mon ami.

- Bye, Mr. Moore.
- 'Oh, come here.'

- Viki, hi.
- Oh, hi, Eric.

You know, I meant to tell you
that was a really

brilliant analysis
you did of "Moby Dick"

for Mrs. Butler's class.

I mean, Ahab symbolizing
the intellect of man

challenging the primeval
forces of nature

of the spiritual
of God itself.

Thanks. I also liked it
because the fish won.

- Oh, that too.
- Mm-hmm.

Mr. Moore, um,
can I talk to you

about something
of a very personal nature?

Well, sure, Simone,
you know I'm always ready

to listen to whatever it is
that's bothering you.

[sighs]
Thanks, Mr. Moore.

As long as it has nothing to do
with you and Eric.

You know, I did vow,
not to be involved

any longer
in your relationship.

Yes, I remember.

So, what was it you wanted
to talk to me about?

Well, uh, see I have this
friend, uh, Kathy

and she's been dating this guy,
Heath Cliff.

Well, there's another guy,
Todd, and--

Goodbye, Simone.

Goodbye, Mr. Moore.

- See you later.
- See ya!

Viki.

Do you wanna go out
Friday night?

Sure, Alex.
I'd love to.

You're gonna
go out with him?

You got a problem with that?

No, but..

I, um, was..

...thinkin' about
a possible date with you.

What about Simone?

You-you, you and Simone.
Of course.

Double date.
That's so sweet. Bye.

That's very sweet.

But I think Viki and I will go
out by ourselves Friday. Bye.

[sighs]

Hey, uh, Mr. Moore.

Can I talk to you for a minute?

Simone, huh?

Yeah.

No.

Hey, Aristotle.

Can I ask your advice
about somethin'?

Me? You want my advice?

Sure, why not?
I mean, you're new here.

You can be objective,
unemotional, unbiased, right?

Yeah, yeah.
I can do that.

Go, man. Talk to me.
Strip your soul bare.

Reach into your guts.
Rip 'em out.

And throw 'em down
in front of me.

Okay.

Well, you-you know I've been
going out with Simone

for quite a while now, right?

Oh, I dig it already.
A love story.

Yeah, and I like her,
I really do, but lately

I don't know,
I kind of feel tied down.

Ooh, man.
Some conflict.

Hmm, good, good. Come on. Gimme
some more. Gimme some more.

And then, you know,
Viki came along.

Ah, the other woman.
A plot twist.

And I really wanna go out
with her, you know?

But I don't know
what to do.

It's like directing
a scene, man.

You gotta stare right
into your belly and say

"What is the truth?"

'Cause if you don't,
truth'll hunt you down

and stab you
like Arnold Schwarzenegger

in "The Terminator."

What are you talkin' about?

Go out with Viki, fool!

Hey, that's good advice.

Right after you tell
Simone the truth.

Oh.

Gotta be honest with her, right?

Right, right.
Yeah.

Thanks.

[instrumental music]

- Hi, Simone.
- Hi, Alex.

Um, Alex.

When you asked me out yesterday,
were you serious?

- Yeah.
- Do you still want to?

What about you and Eric?

Oh, don't worry about Eric.

- Hey, I just stopped worrying.
- Great.

If you like art,
I'll show you

my favorite place
in the whole city.

That sounds like fun to me.

Okay, see you Friday night.

Friday night, uh..

I really want to go out
with you, Simone, but, uh--

It's me, isn't it?

I'm so pushy and overbearing.

I hate myself.

No, no.
You're great, Simone.

Look, we're on for Friday night.
Definitely. Alright?

Yeah.

Viki, um, listen..

...about our date, Friday night.

I don't think I'm going
to be able to make it.

See, my mother's sick.

She's got the flu.

I-I probably should
stay home with her.

Of course, I understand.

I have some herbs
that might help.

I could come over
and make her a poultice.

That's very sweet, but no,
really, you-you don't have to.

Then I'll chant for her.

Great, thanks.

I know that'll help.

- Hi, Eric.
- Hey, Viki, hi.

Listen, I have
some bad news.

- What's the matter?
- Alex can't go out with me.

Oh, shucks.

Yeah, his mom is sick.

But I was wondering,
would it be okay if I still

tagged along with you and Simone
on Friday night?

Oh, sure. It'd be great for you
to come along with us.

Except, I don't think
Simone can make it.

But if you'd like to go out
with me, Friday night..

- Simone won't mind?
- Mind? Ha!

Simone doesn't have a jealous
bone in her whole body.

But if it makes you
feel uncomfortable

then we just won't
mention it to her.

- Now, do you like art?
- Sure.

Then I'm gonna take you to one
of my most favorite places

in this whole city.

[instrumental music]

I can't believe it. You have
a date with Alex tonight.

And it's okay with Eric?

Oh, well..

I'm so excited,
I can hardly wait.

Till history class, huh?
Yeah, I love it, too.

Well, better get goin'.

I can't.
You have my books.

Here.

Told you two, I don't want
to talk about this.

There's nothing
to talk about.

Yeah, everything's fine.

- Great.
- Never better.

Okay, let's do it.

One last time.

I hope, I hope, I hope.

So, there's obviously been some
tension between you two lately.

Is that correct?

- Yeah.
- Uh-huh.

Good, good.

Whatever you've been
fighting about

deep down you both really want

to be together, right?

[chuckles]

Good, good.
That's all you need to know.

So, uh, Eric, you have
any plans for tonight?

- No!
- Just asking.

Simone, how about you?

[chuckles]

Good, good.

I've got it.

Why don't you two
go out together tonight

and have a nice time, okay?

Everybody happy?

Good.

'Bye.'

Boy, I would...really love

to go out with
you tonight, Simone

but...my mother's sick.

That's wonderful.

You wanna be with her.

I hope she's okay.

Oh, yeah, yeah.
Nothing serious.

- But I'll call you.
- No.

I mean, I'm not gonna
to be home.

I was supposed to babysit
for my nephew.

Your nephew?

You don't have
any brothers or sisters.

Uh, I meant
my neighbor's nephew.

I just think of him as mine.

Oh, well, that's nice.

Well, see ya.

See ya!

[instrumental music]

(Harold)
'Sit down, boys.
Sit down.'

It's come to my attention that
you two boys are not speaking.

Now, I want you
to tell me why.

Who wants to go first?

Arvid?

'Dennis?'

Mr. Moore?

Funny, very funny.

[laughs]

Well, I'll tell you. Ahem.

I'm just going to sit here
and not say a word

until somebody tells me
what's going on.

Uh, Dr. Samuels, Nurse Sweeny
is here for your shots.

Is everything alright
in here?

Could you come back,
Nurse Sweeny?

I think they're praying.

[instrumental music]

There it is, Alex.
This is it.

It's my favorite painting.

It's beautiful.

Look at the reds. They are
so striking, passionate.

Ooh, yeah.

And the grace of the lines..

He must have been
totally consumed by the vision.

I know the feeling.

Uh, come on.

I want to show you
the Jackson Pollock.

It's in this room.

I think it's one of my most
favorite paintings.

Here it is.

What do you think?

It's interesting.

I don't usually care much
for abstraction

but I like his color sense.

It's really powerful,
you know?

Almost angry.

I bet he ate a lot of meat.

You have a very interesting
perspective on things.

I like that.

And I like the way
you listen to me.

Like you take me seriously.

Hmm, I do take you seriously.

'I mean, I've known
a lot of girls'

but you're nothing
at all like--

- Simone?
- What?

Simone, look.
Wait, where are you going?

- Simone?
- Eric!

What, what are-what are you
doing here?

What do you mean?

I thought you were babysitting.

I am. I brought my nephew, who's
really my neighbor's nephew

to the museum for some culture.

Right now, he's crawling around
the Italian Renaissance room.

Oh, yeah, right.
You expect me to believe that?

"Italian Renaissance?"

Oceanic art?

Well, what are you
doing here?

You said your mother was sick.

She is, and I'm very
depressed about it.

That, that's why I came here
to look at our painting.

Oh, Eric.

I'm sorry about your mother.

And about doubting you, and..

I've done something
just terrible.

Please forgive me.

There you are.

- What is going on here?
- Uh, I can explain.

Eric, what's going on here?

I can explain, see--

Simone, why did you run away?

Hey, what's goin' on here?

Alex, I can explain.

What is goin' on here?

Eric, I can explain.

Do you know
what's goin' on here?

Yes, you lied to me.

You told me
your mother was sick.

I can explain, see--

Well, maybe she caught it
from Eric's mother.

Oh, I can explain.

Well, you should do
some explaining.

[clamoring]

Alright. Alright.
What is goin' on here?

He can explain.

You better start explaining.

[clamoring]

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

[instrumental music]

And interestingly enough

on the very day
that the Bastille was stormed

'the King of France'

'entered one word'

'in his diary.'

"Rien."
Nothing.

Why? Fact.

He had a bad day hunting.

Give this to Darlene,
to give it to Aristotle

to give it to Eric.

This is the last one, Simone.
I'm trying to concentrate.

So am I.

Let's have the notes.

Mr. Moore, we really don't
want to embarrass

our fellow classmates.

Fine. I'll do it.

[chuckles]

Feels like a paper drive.

Alright, here..

"I really care
about you, Viki.

Love, Alex."

- Oh, that's sweet.
- Oh!

"I really, really
care about you, Simone.

Love, Alex."

"I chanted for you
last night, Alex.

"Don't be surprised
if you get a boil.

Viki."

"Viki, believe me.

"It wasn't my fault.

Eric."

"Simone, believe me.
It wasn't my.."

I think we know where
Eric stands on this.

"Eric, you're a jerk.
I hate your jacket.

"I hope your zippers rust.

'Simone."'

"Chicken."

"Egg."

Okay, folks, seriously

this is supposed to be
a high school honors class

and not a second-grade class,
okay?

And Alex and Viki, I'm really
surprised at how quickly

you've sunk to the level
of Simone and Eric.

Whom I would like
to see, hopefully

for the last time in my life,
in the hall, now.

I'd also like to clear up
the chicken-egg argument

by citing Aristotle

who pointed out that the chicken
was an actual chicken

while the egg
was a potential chicken.

Therefore

since actuality
precedes potentiality

it follows that the chicken
must have come before the egg.

Aristotle, did you
really say that?

You two do have a lot in common
with Marie Antoinette

and Louis XVI.

[chuckles]
Because of their dishonesty

and their inability
to face reality

they failed to notice that the
world was crumbling around them.

Now, of course,
your world is smaller.

But it's crumbling

in my classroom.

We're sorry
we disrupted class, Mr. Moore.

And I think I know
what you're gonna say.

We should try and
resolve our differences.

Yeah, I'm willing
to give it another try.

Well, I'm not.

- What?
- Oh, look, Eric, I..

You've been flirting with Viki

'since the first day
she walked into class.'

Now.. Now, obviously,
you're trying to send

some kind of signal to Simone.

So, why don't you just
come out and say it?

- Well..
- Go on.

Simone, I guess
the truth is

I wanna go out
with other girls.

Oh, Eric.

Oh, Simone. Come on.

I mean, you enjoy
Alex flirting with you.

You've done everything
in response

short of drop your hanky.

Uh, Mr. Moore,
now really--

Hey, come on.

Just be honest.

Well, Eric.
You are my first boyfriend.

And you're wonderful.

But after going out with Alex,
I don't know how to say this--

Hey, it's okay.
I think I understand.

I'm glad that I could, uh,
bring you two apart.

Are you angry?

No, no.
Not at all.

I'm just sorry I had to
put you through all this.

Don't be. I'm not.

Eric, we've had some really
great times together.

I can't even begin to tell you
what you've meant to me.

When I first met you,
I was just a girl.

I've grown so much with you.

I guess we both have.

Now, it's just time
to move on.

You know, it's funny

'cause now that this
is all over, I feel like

this huge weight has been
lifted off my shoulders.

I know. Me too.

And th-this is nothing at all
how I thought this would feel.

I know.

I don't think you do.

I feel sad.

I know.

[school bell ringing]

- Is it safe to come out?
- Oh, yeah.

We're fine, everybody.

'Thanks to Mr. Moore.'

You mean,
you're back together?

No, we broke up.

Let me get this straight.

Because of Mr. Moore
or whatever he said to you

you guys are not gonna
go out with each other?

That's right.

- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.

No, no. I did it for myself
as much as for anyone.

At least, I'm finally out of the
relationship repair business.

[laughing]

[mouthing]

[whispers]
Why me? Why me?

[instrumental music]

[screams]

[mouthing]
Chicken.

[chicken clucking]

Well, this proves one thing.

Chicken joke comes
before the egg joke.

[chuckling]

Dennis, we have to talk.

I mean, this silence is causing
a rift in our friendship.

And our friendship
is more important to me

than any silly bet, so..

What do you say?

[chuckles]
You're right.

You lose.

[theme music]

[music continues]
