What's going on?

Oh, poker party, pal.

A what?

My poker club.

Usually we meet at Otto's Oompa Palace.

But there was a sudden schnitzel bar and a stench drove us out.

Would you mind if we meet here?

Yes, I do.

Oh, you.

Come on, big guy, really. Can we meet here?

I'll get back to you, Steve.

Out of my way, Tinkerbell.

Wow, I see someone woke up on the wrong side of the gutter.

Children, Vice Principal Mallet is here today because he wants to speak to all

of you about the...

listen up, everyone.

In two weeks, it will be homecoming. And as you all know, that's when our

football team, after a season of brutal defeat, has one final home game where we

generally get massacred.

Hi. We're kind of on a roll. We're losing by less every year.

Well, that's this boomba.

The point is, every year we have a parade and even build one of those

cockamamie floats.

Now, I am here to find some sucker student to be chairman of the Homecoming

Float Committee.

The chairman must design the float, gather

volunteers, and actually construct it on a budget of $58 .12.

volunteering to do this?

Well,

I am out of here before you change your mind. Go team, go!

Paul, if she says she's fine, she's fine. You ready to go to the movies? I'm

going to any movie.

Why not?

Because my mommy's injured.

Put a sock in it, Paul.

I will not put a sock in it. Then I will.

Thanks

for

inviting me to meet your frat brother.

love you, Waldo.

You know, I've been meaning to ask you, do you have any fraternities that you

cook in school?

Yeah, I'm thinking about joining one. I ate a pie.

Well, is it hard to get in?

No, they have a big door right in front.

What's all this stuff for?

Steve's building a float.

Hmm.

Why doesn't he use ice cream and root beer like everybody else?

Just smiling now.

And what's with him?

I don't know, Steve, but it keeps me up nights.

Hey, you guys want to help me and the gang build this float?

Get real.

We are in college now.

With a capital K.

We have matured far beyond this.

juvenile float building stuff.

Oh, so what's your plan?

We're going to defend some guy and leave him in the cemetery.

So, Steve, where's your crew? Oh, they're 25.

They're late. It's 520.

What kind of watch is that?

Hope your cruise shows up, Steve.

Building the float.

None of the volunteers showed up.

Oh, that's right.

You were one of them.

Oh, why?

Why did all the kids volunteer but not show up?

Well, Steve, everybody's busy. I mean, we have homework, midterms, jobs, dates,

SATs, college applications.

Building the float just isn't high on our list of priorities.

I know, but I'm chairman of the committee.

And I promise to deliver an A number one float.

But I'm feeling miserable.

I'll tell you what, I'll help you.

Really? A sudden burst of school spirit?

No, pity.

I'll take it.

Here, help me with this chicken one.

Hey,

guys, great bike.

Thanks. We rented it for the day.

Max is amazing.

No matter how fast I pedal, she's right behind me.

Hey, why don't you guys grab your bikes, and we'll ride down to the lake.

Oh, sorry. We're building the homecoming float.

Want to help him, Wally Pop?

Sure. I worked on a float every year I was in high school.

Let's see. That'd be seven floats.

Where do we start?

Yeah, what's this thing supposed to look like? Oh, I'm glad you asked.

Here, take a look at my design.

catching the winning pass in his mouth as he scurries across the goal line. Oh,

great, Steve.

Oh, thanks, Mark.

Oh, gee.

Oh, gee.

What's the matter, Waldo?

This jar reminds me of my dear departed grandma.

Oh, what is it? The buck teeth?

The beady eyes?

I have to tie the cord around my other ankle.

You actually like to bungee jump.

Oh, yes.

It's a rush.

Yeah, rush to the ground.

Lazy, you can't walk around your own house?

No, Mama, it's for you.

For me?

Yeah.

Well, what on earth am I going to do with that?

Well, lots of things. It'll take you shopping, to the movies, to the park.

Carl, if I take that to the park, won't somebody steal it while I'm jogging?

Well, Mom, that's the point.

You shouldn't be jogging anymore.

or kung fu -ing or rollerblading or bungee jumping.

And why not?

Well, Mama, because you're too old.

Too old?

I'm going to get my camera.

Oh, good. Then you can take a picture of Mama in her new motorized chair.

Yeah, as she runs over you.

Mom, come sit next to me, sugar.

All right.

Now, tell me, what's all this malarkey about me being too old?

Well, Mom, you're 84 years old. Don't you think that's a little late to take

parasailing?

That's where you're wrong, Paul.

There's nothing so cute as a granny with a chute.

But, Mama, I'm worried about what may happen to you if you don't slow down.

I'm worried what will happen to me if I do slow down.

But, Mama, some of your hobbies are a little dangerous. I mean, you could get

seriously hurt or even die.

I'm not worrying about dying.

I'm too busy being glad I'm alive.

But, Mama... Carl, I am active.

And that's a part of who I am.

You understand?

I think I do, Mama.

I've got a rep to maintain.

And a lot of little old ladies look up to me.

Well, you know what, Mama?

What, honey?

I look up to you, too.

And you know what, sugar?

What? I want a big hug. Oh.

And there I was, locked out of the house in my pajamas.

You know, Laura, we've been in the same homeroom now for three years, and we

never really talked.

Why is that?

I was a fool.

Guess what, lollipop? What, Mackie -poo? In a few months, you'll be dating a

high school graduate.

I will.

But I'm in love with you.

I was talking about me. I'm the high school graduate.

Oh, cool.

Did you mean what you just said? Are you really in love with me?

Uh, uh, yeah, I am.

Waldo, I love you, too.

How's that?

Why, that's wonderful.

Excellent work, Donna.

Oh, thanks, Moncast.

You know, all this time I thought you were some sort of wild -eyed, tough

-talking motorcycle tramp.

But now I see you're just an artistic soul with questionable taste in jackets.

Okay.

Oh, Steve, the helmet's on. All right.

Helmet's on.

Gold post is in position.

Fully creased. Why, we've achieved full bloating. This baby is fine.

floating over to the floor.

down the drain, and for nothing.

What a total waste of time.

Let's get it.

Freeze!

Okay, so Stevie brews the float.

I'll give you that.

But don't you dare tell me that building it was a waste of time.

We're seniors, and soon we're all going to be saying goodbye to each other.

This experience Experiences brought us closer together.

She's right. I mean, Jeff and I got to know each other today.

We're going out this Saturday night.

We are?

You were going to ask me, weren't you?

You bet.

And if I hadn't come here today, I wouldn't have found out that Waldo loves

And if I hadn't come here today, I wouldn't have gotten glue all over my

And I found out that Donna Santangelo was a very creative soul.

You see, guys, we weren't just building a float.

We were building a memory.

Like floats, they're just temporary.

But a memory, it lasts forever.

Come on, guys, let's put this thing back together.

All right. But somebody else better drive it.
