I really think you're all crazy. I'm fine. There's nothing wrong with me. I

think there's a strong possibility that Holly is anorexic.

I like you, Tina.

I like you, too.

I'd like to have somebody around who understands.

I'm fine.

I'd be just fine if everybody would leave me alone.

It's just because we care about you. Get out of my life!

Hey, I'm Nicole.

You want to go to prom with me?

You want to die an urban death?

I'm going to study with Jessie, remember?

Oh, yeah.

I'm free. Let's get in.

Hey, why don't you ask Mary Jo Capoletti? You know, she really likes

Yeah, she's cute.

So, Adama, who are you going to ask?

I don't know, man. The problem's a big thing. I don't want to decide too fast.

You better hurry up, man. The problem's in less than a month.

Yeah, but what if I ask one girl and I see another one I like better?

Do like I do, man. Ask both of them.

Yeah, I don't get it. If you already got a date, why are you asking all these

other ladies? For insurance.

You see, if I get locked in and then I find somebody better, then I'll just

my first date and then I got it covered.

What about the girl you dump? You're still free.

Hey, Margaret!

Thanks for the lift, Daddy. You're welcome, baby.

And for breakfast, too.

What breakfast? You hardly ate anything.

I didn't have much of an appetite.

Holly, this thing with your mother and me, it's just something we have to work

out for ourselves.

How are you going to work it out when you're living in Connecticut and she's

New York?

Sweetheart, I love your mother.

She loves me.

We just want different things, that's all. Different things?

Well... Holly, wait!

promise you were gonna make.

One thing I can promise you, though, I'm always gonna love you.

You're always gonna be daddy's little girl.

Daddy, I love you.

Hit the showers. Hit the showers.

Hi.

Polly, nice work today. You really look good.

Was it? I thought so. Come on. Baby, you were gliding all over the floor.

Oh, thanks, Miss Fran. I just have to lose a little more weight.

Lose more weight? You lose one more pound and you're going to be invisible.

Keep up the good work.

You ready for the shower, Skinny?

Where's your sense of adventure, Miss Sherwood?

Where's your sense of fun?

Why is this so important to you, anyway?

Well, I don't think Miss Grant and Mr. Sharofsky are all that interested.

Well, I can't speak for Mr. Sharofsky, but I'm dying to know.

Speak for me, Miss Grant.

What's the story?

Well, if you must know, I asked Miss Sherwood to be my prom date, and she

refused. What?

Elizabeth, how tired, Lydia.

Can't you just see Mr. Morlock all dressed up in his blue tuxedo?

And you know he's going to buy you one of those beautiful wrist massages.

I can just see the two of you foxtrotting the night away.

There you go. And she's going to pass all that up. And we have to be there

anyway. We're chaperones. My point, exactly. We are chaperones.

The prom is not for us. It's for the kids.

Sorry. You understand. We're both guys.

I went to an all -boys school. I never got to go to a prom. Since we have to be

there anyway, I thought we could go together.

Why don't you go, Mr. Sherwood? It's not going to kill you.

Well, thank you, Benjamin. Thank you for your support.

Don't mention it. Even a guy like you deserves a break once in a while.

Not necessary.

Just a minute.

Is that a yes or a no?

Don't look now, but you just put your apple pie on my tray.

My tray?

You don't do me any favors. You know where this stuff goes, don't you? Right

your side. Oh, please, Nicole, you don't have an ounce of fat on you.

Nicole's talking.

Is that all you're eating?

Shawl happens to be loaded with calories.

Yes, but that happens to be diet jello. You know, I haven't seen you eat

anything but low -fat, fat, diet bits.

I'm on a diet.

You don't keep going.

When I have lunch with you, Holly, I feel like I'm eating a godly. Look, do

want the pie or not?

Oh, I don't want the pie. Thank you.

Do you want my pie?

Have my jello, too.

All right, Clash. You've had three weeks to read the tin drum. Let's discuss.

Personally, I felt that this was a very weird book.

All right.

That's fair.

What were your feelings about the little boy?

You mean the one that never grew? Yeah.

Why do you think he didn't grow?

Well, see, I don't know.

Well, he didn't grow because he fell down the stairs and that stunted his

growth. Everyone agree with that?

Not necessarily.

You see, I think the author was going for something more. I think that there

something in the little boy's life that he really hated.

And it was all that stuff with his parents.

So to punish them and to get their attention and maybe even their love, he

himself down the stairs.

But that's not why he didn't grow. He didn't grow because he decided not to.

But that's ridiculous. Why would anybody decide not to grow?

I don't think he liked adults.

So he decided not to be one.

Boy, talk about picking out.

Mm -hmm.

Park the city.

You're not actually going to eat all that stuff, are you?

Just watch me.

What about your diet?

What diet?

Yo, Nicky.

Well,

hello.

Hey, so you going to sing at the prom or not?

I don't know, Jessie. I mean, it's the prom. I might want to dance, you know?

Geez,

it was just the fry. What's the big deal? The big deal is that I have my

over here, I have my cake over here, and I have my hamburger over here. You just

don't disarray somebody's food, okay?

I don't like the sloppy tray.

Congratulations. On what?

I didn't hear you were nominated for prom queen.

That's great.

That's all you're going to say? That's great?

What do you want me to say? That's nice.

I'm excited.

Holly, is something wrong?

I'm sorry.

I've got to go, Chris.

I really don't understand what the problem is. There are students in this

who'd be willing to kill for a B+. I really think I deserve an A, Ms.

I worked very hard on this book report.

If it makes you feel any better, nobody got an A. It doesn't. I don't care about

anybody else or their grades.

I just care about mine.

My parents are going to be very disappointed in me. With a B+. They're

through something right now, and they just don't need this.

Hi, are you okay?

You don't feel okay. Your hands are freezing. I said I'm okay, okay?

I have to talk to you all about that. I know all of you all are going to find it

a bit boring, but needless to say, I'm going to say it anyway.

Now, this is a ballet class.

In ballet class, there are certain things I expect from you. One of them

To dress properly.

How did you get here?

It wasn't hard to figure. You've been on my case ever since I got into this

school. You look like I'm still on your case.

How come I'm the only one you ever pick on? What makes you think you're the only

one?

Amatulo.

Amatulo, baby, baby.

These are not tights, honey. These look like jogging pants.

They are jogging pants.

Short shorts.

We don't wear tennis shoes in this class. Pink.

Pink ballet slippers. Got it?

Got it. And I'm the only one that wears earrings.

A pink baked potato.

And Holly, Holly, what is this thing you are wearing?

Miss Graham, cold.

Cold? After that bar we just finished doing? Honey, come on, take that off.

Come on.

I said no!

Class dismissed.

Miss Grant, I'm sorry I snapped at you. It's all right.

It's just... It's okay, honey. If you want to wear this big old thing, you go

right ahead.

It seems a real shame to me. You have a very nice figure, and I don't know why

you want to hide it.

Nice figure? I'm fat.

Fat? I know, you probably think I'm crazy, but, Miss Grant, my thighs aren't

best. That's why I want to keep dieting. I just want to shed a few more pounds.

Holly. What are you talking about, honey? Come on, come on. Look, you're

few pounds. You're only a few pounds of water you're shedding. Weight. New

calories.

Awesome.

How much weight have you lost?

I don't know.

Not nearly enough.

It's going to be great.

Oh, put those up there.

That'll work.

Jesse, you call that a palm tree?

Palm trees are green. That's brown.

No, it's brown.

It's a dying palm tree.

Well, can you keep it alive until the prom? Put a little green on it.

This is crazy. We're New Yorkers. What do we know about Hawaiian decor?

That's right. I mean, what are we going to have for music? What lovely hula

hands? Hawaiian wedding song, the war chant, Don Ho's greatest hits. I love

this. I'm writing it down.

Oh, and for the freshmen, so we can have Hawaiian fun.

Cute.

She looks like she's doing this right.

Put you away.

She's supposed to be painting trees.

Dreams. That's what Holly was supposed to do before she would show up.

What's with her?

I don't know. I don't even think she's got a date for prom, Doris.

No date? No, that's not normal.

You don't have a date.

Yeah, but that's different. I'm saving myself.

so long for this night I pray that a

star would guide you my way to share

with me this special day where a

ribbon in the sky for our love if a

light

I'm working on this piece for an audition, and I thought an objective

might... Uh -huh.

It's Holly, Susie.

She's losing weight.

I know. She's on a diet. I think she's way past being on a diet. I think

a strong possibility that Holly is anorexic.

Just to keep an eye on...

All right, maybe she's lost a little bit too much weight. All she's got to do is

eat. I know. I know.

I feel the same way as you. All Lydia suggested was... How are you guys doing

out there?

We're doing fine, pal.

Listen, what does a dance teacher know about this?

She's not a doctor.

I don't care what she had. We know our daughter.

Less talking, more eating.

Now, Holly, why don't you come in here and join us? I'll go in a second. Just

let me finish the chocolate souffle.

There. Does that sound like a kid who doesn't like food? She makes three kinds

of salad. She invites us to the big dinner. She makes soup, a main course,

now she's working on a chocolate souffle. She likes to cook.

Susie, I'm trying to understand your concern, but I think you're... Oh.

Wow. Who's this?

The leg of lamb is to die for, huh?

Let me card. No, no, no.

It's the fun part. I want to do it, Daddy.

This is so great having the three of us here in my place for dinner.

It's like a family.

I'm looking forward to this all day.

Daddy, you're going first. You're a growing boy.

I'll just have a 10 -pound portion, please.

There.

Thanks. You want more?

Yeah, hold the plate.

Mmm, smells good.

Potatoes?

Just two.

Here we go.

Oh, thank you.

You guys can thank me by making all gone.

This is really good, honey. Really good.

Oh, Miss Sherwood!

Mr. Morlock, I've already told you I will go with you, is your... Date!

Not so loud.

Okay, I'm sorry, but... You've got to start making some plans. All right.

I'll meet you at the Punchbowl, 8 o 'clock.

It's not that simple. I don't know what to do. What's the procedures? What do we

do now? Mr. Morlock, you're making much too much of it. Look, it's my first

prom. I don't even know what to wear.

Look. You rent yourself a nice tux, not brown.

What color should the cover be?

Well, thanks a lot. My parents want me to go see a psychiatrist.

Well, maybe that's not such a bad idea. It's a terrible idea. I don't need a

psychiatrist. I'm fine. Sometimes we think we're fine and we're not.

What's that supposed to mean? Holly, I know. I have been there.

If you're anorexic, there may come a point where your body chemistry takes

and you have nothing to say about it anymore.

That's ridiculous. Holly!

You may want to eat, but your body will reject food. If you get to that point,

there may be no going back.

I can't believe this.

I really think you're all crazy. I'm fine. There's nothing wrong with me.

You know, when I was your age, I remember having a similar conversation

mother. I told her I was fine. I meant that.

But I wasn't.

You're wrong this time, Miss Grant.

You're wrong.

I hope not.

Well, I got to be careful.

No. Take my time.

No. Hey, Holly.

Hey, look, look. I've asked 100 girls to go. I thought about six have accepted.

You're going to take six girls at a prom? Of course not, man. Don't be

can't afford six corsages. That's what I figured. I got to whittle down the list

a little bit, you know, pick the best one.

Okay, so who's the contenders here? I'd say there's Mary Ann Lewis.

Oh, does she still have her braces?

She got braces?

Yeah. That's why she didn't smile. She just nodded her head.

Forget Mary and Louis.

So let's see, that leaves, um... That's your date for the prom.

Go ask her, man.

Go ahead.

What did you ask her?

It's still too early, Emmett. Something better may come along.

Come on, something better than that?

Yeah.

Well, if you ain't gonna ask her, I am.

Oh, we're going to the hookey loud.

Hookey, hookey, hookey, hookey, hookey, hookey loud.

Everybody loves the hookey loud.

Where the loud loud is the cow cow at the hookey loud.

To the hooky loud.

Hooky, hooky, hooky, hooky, hooky loud.

Pardon me.

Pardon now. We are talking hooky loud. Hooky.

I'm talking hooky.

They're there. They're right.

Be careful now. Hold it tight. We hooky.

Hooky.

Guess I messed it through the sink.

All the people don't see.

That was wonderful.

Why didn't you guys look that up?

It's about greatness.

You know, when I picked up a Hawaiian motif for our prom, I never realized I'd

figure out something so dazzling, so spectacular, so stupid. Well, at least

it's worthless.

I mean, I will get up and change from my prom dress into my sarong.

Sorry I'm late.

Miss Laird, you're late for rehearsal.

And why aren't you in your costume?

Because I couldn't get into it.

They're too revealing, Dorian.

Half naked. Ah, what's that word for?

It makes us look fat and ugly.

Come on, you have about 11 steps before you're ugly.

Really? And about 15 before you're fat?

Okay, now I'm the head of the prom committee, and if I say we do the whole

number, we do the whole number. If not, it's just tough noogie.

Well, then I guess it's tough noogie for me.

Holly?

Holly, what is going on? Leave me alone.

No, you're not getting off that easily. Now, there is something wrong. You're

not acting like yourself.

If you ask me, it's this crazy diet you've been on. I'm trying to lose

What's the matter with that? Millions of people do it. Right. Well, maybe

millions of people diet. That's one thing. But starving, you're... Are you

right?

Holly! I'm fine.

I'd be just fine if everybody would leave me alone.

It's just because we care about you. But out of my life!

We should have listened to you, Miss Grant. Can we see her?

She doesn't want to see anybody right now.

But is she going to be okay?

Is there anything I can do, Susie?

You had this.

And you got over it. How?

I wanted to live.

She's doing this because she doesn't want us to split up, isn't she?

Forgive me, Mr. Lear, but I would not play that game with her right now. If

thinks she's winning by doing this, she's just going to keep...

The doctor said she could... She might... Excuse me. I want

to get some air.

Excuse us, please.

Holly, what are you trying to do?

What are you trying to prove, Holly?

You're killing yourself. This is not good. Stop it. You're killing yourself,

Holly. Baby, no. Baby, no.

me away, but I'm just going to come back because I love you. You have to go now.

There's nothing you can do to change that.

Get well, because I'm not giving up on you.

I'm Tina.

I'm Holly.

I heard they had another one of them in here.

You want to see something really great?

Go ahead, take a look. What is it? It's an album.

I cut out pictures of my favorite models.

They're all so thin.

Yeah, I know.

Is that Cheryl Teague's? Yeah.

Does she have a great body or what?

I want to be her.

I'd give anything to have a figure like that. You?

I'd have to lose 10 pounds before I could even get close to fitting into

bikini. I'd have to lose 15.

Oh, yeah? You haven't seen my thighs.

I have baby hippo thighs.

Oh, you should see my... So where?

Lunch, girls.

Tina, you get back to your room, and I want to see you eat this time, okay?

You haven't touched food in days.

I touched it.

Happy? Keep pushing it, Tina.

I ate my whole breakfast this morning. Sure you did.

Honey, the next time you throw your food away, make sure you do it off camera.

What are you going to do to get any privacy around here anyway?

Just eat and put some meat on those bones. Then you can have all the privacy

want.

Well, I guess I better go now.

Remember, Big Brother is watching you.

You put all these up.

They're here to deal with them.

They think I'm eating.

What do you mean they think you're eating? How do you fool them? From

and everything.

I have this tricksy.

I take bites of food and I make believe like I'm chewing.

And when I wipe my mouth, I spit it out of my napkin.

And later, I flush it down the toilet.

There's no cameras in there.

I used to throw it out the window, but I almost hit an orderly.

I like you, Tina.

I like you, too.

It's nice to have somebody around who understands.

Yeah.

I don't need a friend right now.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

I just got a little dizzy.

Get used to it.

Holly, why don't you eat?

Please, eat.

I'm not hungry, Mom.

I know your father, and I love you very much.

I know, Mom.

And we know that you love us.

I do.

But you can't solve our problems by starving yourself to death.

You might succeed in keeping us together for a little while.

But time is not on your side.

And if you die, Holly, if you succeed in killing yourself,

your father and I will grieve for you,

we'll mourn for you, and we'll miss you very much.

But life will go on.

And we'll be here, and you won't.

You won't be here, Holly.

Do it for yourself, honey.

Tomorrow morning, the sun will come up.

The darkness will fade.

Tomorrow morning, without a warning.

In each of our hearts, the whole world will start

again.

Celebration, a song on the wind.

I feel it.

Get shining.

There is a promise.

A sword in the stone.

Make it your own.

Tomorrow morning.

Reach out so far. Your dreams touch the sky.

When he calls you, just hold it.

Because you know just what to say.

And you know just what to do.

And I want to tell you so much.

I love you.

Sharofsky, don't you want to try some of my homemade poi?

No, thank you. I already have some. Mr. Morlock?

Are you kidding? That stuff looks awful.

Well, thank you very much.

Well, don't get your nose out of joint. When you made those cookies last year,

they were terrific. I told you so at the time. You messed up on the poi.

Now, if the truth hurts, I'm sorry. I'm just being honest.

Well, Mr. Morlock, you look like a geek in that tuxedo.

If the truth hurts, I'm sorry. I'm just being honest.

Elizabeth! Here I am, Mr. Murlock, reporting for duty.

Just kidding.

For you, Elizabeth.

How sweet.

It's a wrist corsage.

Can I have everybody's attention, please?

Are we having a good time?

privilege of announcing this year's prom queen.

Our contestants are Jamie Carter, Nicole

Chapman, Alicia Ayer,

Miss Nicole Chapman.

For this.

Um.

But I really can't accept it.

Because there's.

There's someone.

Who deserves it more than I do.

Holly Laird.

And now our new prom queen will lead off the next dance with her escort.

I don't have to take that much more time.

Would you like to dance?

I'd love to.

Long to see the sunlight in your hair

much I care Sometimes I feel my heart will

overflow Hello

I've just got to let you know

Cause I wonder where you are.

And I wonder what you do.

Or is someone lost?
