Here we are in space, a silver school.

Open to finding two of a kind.

Making it go, making it grow.

Together, we're going to find our way.

Together, taking the time each day.

To learn all about those things you just can't find.

Two silver spoons together.

So, you want to stop at Music City?

Look at the posters?

No, I have to get home for dinner.

Me too.

Another burger, double cheese, double onions, side order of fries and a large

Coke.

I don't think I want to see this.

Oh, sorry, let me help.

Uh, thanks.

Hey, you go to Eisenhower High?

Yeah. I hear it's pretty dull over there.

Yeah. Someone told me your school cheers a yawn.

Hey, you taking entomology?

Yeah. That's great.

Terrific class.

What is it?

Study of bugs.

Oh, yeah. You know, my school has that, too.

But we call it lunch.

Were you just leaving?

No, I was just coming in.

Gosh, what a coincidence.

So was I.

My name is Rick Stratton. Leslie Hayworth.

Leslie, you know, I almost went to Eisenhower.

Really? Yeah.

You two have already met.

Huh?

Rick, this is my girlfriend, Leslie.

Girlfriend? Is this a small world or what?

Brad, I didn't know you had a girlfriend.

Where do you think I've been for the last week?

I just figured you were grounded again.

How did you guys meet, anyway?

It was fate.

I ran into her at the mall.

With his bicycle.

How quaint.

Oh, dirt Karen. I have to give her my bug homework. Excuse me.

Karen.

So what do you think?

She's terrific.

I know.

She's more than just pretty, too.

She's funny and she's smart.

How smart can she be? Look who she's going with.

I'm going to be late for dinner.

Coming, I'm coming.

Thank you. I'm starting to get a headache.

Where did you get all those books?

At the university bookstore.

The university... You didn't. I did.

I'm in college!

That's wonderful!

I've been saying I was going to finish college for years, and I finally got up

off my butt and did something about it. That's terrific!

Yeah, this time nothing is going to stop me from getting that degree.

I am so proud of you.

It's going to be a lot of hard work.

Hey, hey, nothing worthwhile comes easy.

How many classes did you sign up for?

One.

It's a toffee.

Huckleberry Finn?

Classic American Literature 101.

Just starting slow.

Well, not too slow. You zoomed right past Dick and Jane.

Why don't we go out tonight and celebrate your going back to college?

I'd love to, but I gotta get through the Scarlet Letter by Monday.

Oh. Well, in that case, I'll just tuck myself away somewhere.

Oh, thanks, hon. Let you burn the midnight oil.

Hey, Kate. Oh, Rick.

You startled me.

Kate, where's Dad? He's in the living room.

Oh, okay.

But, Kate. Yeah?

Why are we whispering?

Your father is studying. He finally enrolled in college.

Kate, I was hoping I'd get there first.

Very funny.

Don't disturb him, okay? Right.

Way to go, Dad.

Kate just told me. Thanks, son.

Don't you have something to do?

No.

Where are your friends? Where's Alfonso? Where's Brad?

Alfonso's got band practice. Brad's with his girl.

Brad has a girlfriend?

He sure does, Dad, and she's perfect.

She's sweet and pretty.

Smart and funny.

Laughing eyes.

Whose girl did you say this was?

Dad, she's Brad's girl.

Oh.

I got it.

Rick, I gotta talk to you. I have a humongous problem. What's the matter?

I got two tickets to see Van Halen Friday night.

And that's the problem.

Well, I also got grounded.

Oh, Brad, what did you do this time?

I lost control of the lawnmower and wiped out my mom's rose garden.

So? So I came to you for help.

Brad, we don't have any roses.

I want you to take Wesley to the concert.

I think I'll take my book in the library.

Read.

Library.

Latin root is Libra.

Book.

That's why they put him in there.

Brad, you want me to take Leslie?

I mean, she's nuts about Van Halen, and I'd hate her to miss him.

Yeah, but Brad, Van Halen's gonna be back here in four or five years.

Take her then.

Come on, please.

Be a buddy. Help me out.

It'd mean a lot to Leslie and me.

Brad, she won't want to go with me anyway.

I already talked to her, and she said it was okay.

She did?

Well, I mean, she knows you're not me. Then again, who is?

Brad, I don't know.

Come on, please.

Just for me, your good friend.

Okay, I guess. Thanks, man. I knew I'd count on you. You're a real pal.

And by the way, the tickets are 30 bucks.

Oh, downpour.

Oh, just made it. Yeah.

Oh, you know, I had a really, really great time.

concert tonight. Yeah, it's one of the best I've ever been to.

Dancing and screaming and yelling and fireworks.

Yeah, and that was just on the bus.

Do you want hot chocolate?

Sure, but let me pay. Come on, don't be silly. No, no, no, no, no. You got the

concert. Please don't.

How much longer are you going to be?

Four or five hundred pages.

I was hoping we'd watch a little TV together.

It's been a while since we've done anything together.

That's nice.

Hi, Dad.

Hey, son.

Sigh.

Problem?

Dad.

I did the craziest thing with Leslie tonight.

Please tell me you stole a car.

I kissed her, Dad.

Oh.

Isn't she Brad's girl?

Yes, but I couldn't help myself.

Dad, it happened before I had time to think about it. Because if I had time to

think about it, there's no way it would have happened, which would be best for

all concerned, except I sure enjoyed it while it was happening.

Even though I'm not too happy it did happen. Dad, what am I going to do?

I'm still trying to figure out what you said.

Dad, I kissed my best friend's girl.

Now I don't know what to do about it.

It's pretty simple.

You should stop seeing Leslie.

I knew you wouldn't understand.

I think I understand. You want me to tell you it's okay to go out with her.

Well? Well, you're going to have a lot of dates in your life, son, but good

friends are hard to come by.

I know.

You're not willing to give up your friendship with Brad.

I'm not?

No, I'm not.

Then you're going to have to nip it in the bud.

You're right.

But, Dad, it's not going to be easy, because I really like her.

You have to be strong.

Put a check on your emotions.

Oh, you need any tips on that? I'm becoming an expert.

Leslie. Hi.

What are you doing here?

I need to talk to you.

About last night?

Oh, come on in.

Good. You know, because I've got to talk to you, too.

I've been thinking a lot about last night.

Go ahead.

No, you go ahead.

Look, I think what happened last night was a big mistake.

Oh, boy, am I ever glad to hear you say that.

I feel the same way.

Well, that's good news.

Oh, yeah, it was just a crazy evening.

Yeah, it must have been the rain.

Yeah.

I guess that's why my mom's always telling me to carry an umbrella.

Anyway,

it won't happen again.

Oh, no, and we wouldn't want to hurt Brad. He's a great guy.

A terrific guy.

You can't say enough about him. Oh, I really like Brad.

I really like him, too.

Yeah, well, I'm glad we had this talk because I feel a lot better.

Me, too.

It was just one of those things that happened.

Right? Right.

And, uh, we can still be friends.

Of course we can.

Come on, let's shake on it.

Sure.

Oh, I feel horrible.

Isn't this horrible, Rick? Horrible.

Terrible.

Awful.

Oh.

Oh.

What are we gonna do?

Well, for starters, let's not shake hands anymore.

Good idea.

There's only one thing to do.

I'm gonna have to tell Brad.

What are you gonna tell him?

I don't know.

Let's see.

I'll tell him I don't want to be tied down to one guy.

Uh -huh.

That he's all wrong, that he's not my type, that there's just no chemistry

him. Good. You know, just so you don't hurt his feelings.

That's the important thing.

Right.

Look, until you tell him, we'll just have to cool it. Oh, I agree.

Cool it.

Starting tomorrow.

Okay, honey, I'm off to school.

Do we have...

Cute. Brad.

Hi, Mr. S.

Are you okay?

Who cares?

Rick!

Brad's here!

Coming!

Hang in there, guy.

Why bother?

Hey, buddy.

What's new?

Leslie dumped me.

No.

Yes. Well, did she say why?

Something about me not being any good at chemistry.

Girl, try and figure him.

Yeah.

Well, you're not going to let this get you down, are you?

No way.

In fact, if you want to know the truth, I was getting ready to dump her.

You were?

Face it, Rick.

I'm not a one -woman man.

There's too many fish in the sea.

A lot of pebbles on the beach.

A lot of stars in the firmament.

You know what I mean?

Absolutely. I mean, Brad, there's tons of girls who like you.

Yeah.

Who?

Who?

Um, Sheila Winchell. That's who.

I mean, she's got a real thing for you.

She does?

Hmm. She told Pam she thought you were an animal.

She did?

Mm -hmm.

I mean, I can't remember what animal.

Yeah, well, like I said, hey, who needs Leslie?

Good for you, ma 'am. I mean, it's ended as far as I'm concerned. Finito

history. I don't care what she does.

You really mean that? I sure do.

Well, then it wouldn't bother you if Leslie went out with someone else.

I wish her only the best.

I mean, what the hay? I gotta get on with my own life.

Good for you.

I'm so glad to hear you say that.

Because Leslie and I, we kind of hit it off at the concert.

Yeah? Yeah.

You does what?

You're dead, Stratton. Brad, what happened with going on with your own

Yeah, I will, after I end yours.

No, not that. It's Tiffany Crystal. It's worth a fortune.

Not the entry box, Brad. It's worth thousands.

Stratten, you live in too good a house.

Brad, I'm sorry.

You're slime, Stratten.

Slime? That's no way to talk to a friend.

Friend. Friend?

You call yourself a friend?

Yeah, well, let me tell you something, friend.

You and Leslie deserve each other.

my earring.

Hope I'm not bothering you.

No problem.

Ow! Oh, I bumped my leg.

Gee, I hope it doesn't leave a mark.

How does it look, dear?

What was the question?

That's all right.

Good night.

If you think a cheap trick like that is going to work,

you're right.

I hate it when adults are so cheerful.

I think it's great.

So, what do you want to do?

I don't care.

Why don't we go to burgers? It's a lot of fun on Saturday night.

Nah, I'm not really in the mood.

Oh, okay.

Hey, want to put on some music?

No, I'm not really in the mood.

Okay.

Is there another set of Scrabble in the house?

Not really in the mood.

Is something wrong?

No.

Is it me?

No, not you.

It's Brad, isn't it?

Brad?

Rick, you and I didn't do anything wrong.

I dated Brad for almost three weeks, but now I'm with you.

I know, but...

Leslie, it's not that easy for me.

It isn't, huh?

You know, we first met, you were a lot of fun, like that night at the concert.

Yeah, I was.

I'm gonna miss that.

Huh? It's over, Rick.

What's over?

Us.

Why?

Well, for one thing, you've become a real drag.

Well... I'm not finished.

You're moody, distant, and a real downer.

But Leslie, you can't leave me. I gave up my best friend for you.

I know.

That was sweet.

Hey, Alfonso.

Hi, Rick.

Brad.

Alfonso, isn't it strange that you -know -who is here alone without the other

you -know -who?

Alfonso, you can tell Brad that you -know -who and I are no longer seeing

other. Well, Alfonso, that's very interesting to hear.

Alfonso, it's the truth.

I'll take it from here, Alfonso. Why?

I've done a great job so far.

So, uh, how come you're not seeing Leslie anymore, lover boy?

We discussed the situation and realized that continuing our relationship was

nothing either one of us wanted to pursue.

So she dumped you, huh?

If you want to get technical, it can happen to a nicer guy.

Brad, I'm sorry, okay?

I wouldn't blame you if you never spoke to me again.

Brad, I was selfish. I was thoughtless.

I was stupid. I was a jerk.

You forgot two -timing creep?

That too.

And you were lower than the lowest pond scum.

Yes, even lower than tooth plaque.

Rad, whatever you say.

And you'll replant my mother's rose garden?

Don't push it.

Friends?

Friends.

Well, I feel a lot better now.

Me too.

Come on, Brad.

The movie starts at six.

Hey, babe.

She called me last night.

Begged me to take her back.
