You have the power to make us both happy.

Stop kidding around.

No, I'm not kidding.

Don't you think you're making a big deal out of nothing?

You

and

Jesse never... Jesse doesn't even register with anyone but you.

You ever go near Jesse again?

I'll rip your arms off.

The emotions that I feel I wouldn't really

be

Inside Myself Inside Your Love

Have you seen how you brought

me outside myself, inside

your love, where I'm free to be me, to let go,

outside myself, inside your

love.

my soul now I love losing control

I've come home

I wasn't exactly happy either.

Yeah, but you have the power to make us both happy.

Stop kidding around.

No, I'm not kidding.

I mean, seriously, we've been going together almost a year now.

Eleven months and twelve days, but who's counting, right?

Well, I gotta go.

See you later.

Oh, Miss Sherwood.

So what do you think of our new principal?

He seems very nice.

Oh, yes, he does.

It's just such a shame.

Mrs. Berg, if I give you ten dollars, will you tell me what you're talking

about? Well, it's just that he is such a nice man, and he has been having the

most awful run of bad luck lately.

Mrs. Berg, would you call my insurance company, please, and ask them what the

blue book is on a 67 Chevelle?

But you don't own a 67 Chevelle.

No, but the guy I hit does.

I just know he's going to make a real big case.

Did I pay my premium?

Oh, I'm sure you did.

What a bet he didn't.

Miss Chapman, please.

What did I do?

You're being depressed too well.

I mean, for what you and Jesse had a fight, all couples are gonna fight. But

it's intense.

How intense?

Intense. Shh.

I mean, you and Jesse never... Shh.

Well, Nicole, what are you gonna do about it?

Miss Tyler, would you care to share your problem with the rest of the class?

Well, it's really not my problem.

It's Nicole's.

Yo, Donald, man, what do you think of that new girl?

Oh, what's she doing now? You know that Reggie chick?

She's kind of cute, man. I'm thinking of asking her to the Sadie Hawkins dance.

You can't ask her. She has to ask you. That's why they call it the Sadie

dance. The girls ask the boys.

So now just ask her to ask me.

You'll remember there's one thing that concerns me.

What's that?

She may be funnier than me.

What did I do?

You were there, you know.

Don't you think you're making a big deal out of nothing?

You know, if you want to be a stand -up comedian, you're going to have to

lighten up.

Did you see that?

I'm too old.

She may not be funnier than you, but she's definitely tough.

So, Douglas.

So, Donovan.

Give all the girls in school a manature.

Oh, yeah?

That's the story they're giving you?

Women.

Cute.

What's that supposed to mean?

Come on, Donovan. You're a big boy. Figure it out.

You want to live in school with these chicks?

Aren't you?

Me? Yeah, of course. What do you think?

Chicks dig me.

Me too, babe.

You don't think I score?

I score plenty.

Plenty.

Johnny, you guys can talk about men scoring.

What are you talking about, man? You're going steady.

Did you see the way she was flaunting herself at him?

They were only dancing, Nicole.

I've seen dancing.

That was flaunting.

Okay, so what? She was flaunting with him. Lots of girls flaunt with Jesse. I

myself flaunted once.

Before I met you, of course.

Hi, Deathy.

Hi.

Wow, that was beautiful.

I didn't know you played the recorder.

Yeah.

Well, it's kind of medieval.

Reminds me of knights and ladies of the court.

Romantic stuff like that.

It's kind of dumb, huh?

No, no, no, it's not dumb at all.

Actually, it was very nice.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt you or anything. I was just going to

on my solo for the variety show. No, you didn't disturb me.

I'll get out of your way.

No. I mean, you're not in my way.

Different now. Jesse's vulnerable.

Something I don't know. It's nothing serious. Nothing except our entire

relationship is on the line. You're imagining things.

Stop. Jesse doesn't even register with anyone but you.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Jesse.

Oh, thank you. Hi.

Listen, what happened yesterday, I don't think it should happen again.

Yeah, me neither.

Then you're going out with Nicole.

I feel bad.

Yeah, me too.

Like they say in Casablanca, it's just a kiss.

So we're going to leave it at that, okay?

Okay.

Great.

It was my one big investment.

All the money I had in the world.

Well, I guess there has to be one computer company that fails.

Are you all right, Mr. Virenforth?

I'm fine.

I think he's being very brave in the face of it all.

The only giveaway is an occasional nervous twitch.

Why is he limping?

Well, he was sitting in his trailer the other day, and the lock is broken on the

door. So it kept falling open.

And this big dog came in and bit him right on the leg. Wouldn't let go for 20

minutes. Oh, it was a vicious attack.

Maybe he can sue the owner of the dog to pay for the lawsuit he's going to get

from the owner of the Blue Chevelle.

Well, that would be nice.

Except that Mr.

Dierenforth is the owner of the dog. He's had him since he was a pup.

You shouldn't have made your goal.

I didn't mind.

Come on, Jesse, you hated it.

Well, I mean, a one -woman anti -nuclear show.

And I hate bombs as much as the next guy.

I guess that's why I hated it.

Well, just that it was a mom's friend, you know? I said I didn't mind.

No, I can't do anything right. Nicole!

I know that was a dumb thing to say.

It's just... You go.

No, you.

Well, I was just going to say that, you know, a few months ago we would have

laughed at all of this.

Yeah. Listen, do you want to, like, go get some coffee or something?

I don't know. We already talked.

I don't know.

I don't really feel like calling you.

Unless you do.

No.

I guess I'll just go home, then.

Okay. I'll call you again.

Taxi!

Jesse?

What?

So

Jesse

hasn't called you in a couple of days. That's no big deal. I used to call her

every night.

Well, what did he say about her? Have you talked to him? He said that he's

busy. Well, maybe he has been busy.

Yeah, right.

What's Jesse got to be so busy about?

Well, apparently... I don't know. It could be anything.

You want to know what I think? I think that Jesse... Look, if you guys really

need me, I'll be over at the mirror putting my makeup on, okay?

Think maybe we hurt her feelings? Yeah, I think maybe we came on a little too

strong.

I feel bad for her, Dusty, but when a guy says that he's been too busy, it

usually means that he's losing interest, doesn't it?

Well, I don't think so.

But in general, when a guy says he's been too busy to call you, 99 % of the

it means he's pulling out of the relationship.

But if I stop and close my eyes, I see you in my mind.

Never show the way I feel Always in control

In a world of push and shove It's the way to go

When the pressure's building

things haven't been going that good between us for the past two weeks and I

don't know what to do. Because of me. I didn't say that. You didn't have to.

It just seems so natural.

I know it does.

A lot of times it's just as difficult for me as it is for you.

So then why do you hold back?

I don't know.

Because we're young.

Because we could be making a mistake because things could change between us.

Things are already changing between us.

I know.

I don't know.

It just seems to me like you're making such a big deal out of this, you know? I

mean, other kids in school... Oh, Jeffy, I really wonder how many other kids.

Well, there just comes a time in a relationship where things either move

or they stop growing.

So maybe it's time we stopped seeing each other for a while.

Maybe.

So I guess that's it, huh?

I guess so.

I'll see you around.

See you.

Jesse.

Is it really that easy for you just to walk away?

I just don't want us to start hurting each other, that's all.

Neither do I.

Take care of yourself.

You too.

Would you like my rice pudding?

Reggie, if I wanted rice pudding, I would have gotten my own.

Well, you may not have been thinking.

Look, guys, I really appreciate your concern, but can you go back to treating

like a normal human being?

Sure. Well, of course, don't mind that. I mean, what are you trying to see into

this horrendous ordeal?

You did the right thing. I agree.

There's nothing else to do. You have no choice, girl. Can we change the subject,

please?

Good idea.

What we need is a game plan. Yeah.

You know, the best thing we can do for you is to get you back into circulation.

No, wait a minute. I've only been broken up with Jesse for a week.

I've got too much respect for him to start going out so soon.

Any chance the two of you might be getting back together?

Things don't look too good.

I guess it wouldn't be breaking the code of growth then if I asked you to the

Teddy Harkins dance.

Well, you know, I'd love to.

But, I mean, we've only been broken up for about a week.

I don't know, it just seems like there should be a period of mourning

you know what I mean?

Yeah.

Yeah, I understand.

Maybe next year.

Kate?

Let's do it.

Great.

I think it's time I grew up.

and got myself a date for the Sadie Hawkins dance.

Me? You want me to take you to Sadie Hawkins dance? Uh -huh.

Would you pinch me?

Is that a yes?

No.

No, but you seem so happy.

I am happy.

I'm ecstatic. Come on. To think Nicole Chapman, beautiful, mysterious,

unattainable, wants me, Danny Amatulo, simple, humble, and easy to get to, to

a date. So what's the problem?

The problem is the code of the guys. You know, the one -year rule.

The one -year rule? I never heard of that.

Well, that's when one guy can't go out with another guy's girl until they've

been broken up for a year.

Thanks.

Hey, you know, we can meet in Jersey.

Never mind, Danny.

Gee, Nicole, I'd love to, but even if I didn't adhere by the one -year rule,

there is a six -month rule, and I'd have to be a real lowlife to break that.

The six -month rule?

Yeah, when a guy and a girl's going together for over four months.

Four months? I thought you said it was the six -month rule.

It gets a little complicated. You see, when a guy and a girl's going out for

over four months, a guy's friend could ask her out after six months, providing,

and this is the key, that there's been no prior relationship between the friend

and the girl.

And you gotta keep your date secret, of course, right?

What are they, give you guys a rule book at birth?

You know, there is one all the way around this.

There is?

Can meet in Jersey.

Look, it's not the year rule or the six -month rule.

The truth of it is, Nicole, I'm afraid that if I go to the Sadie Hawkins dance

with you, Jesse will beat me up.

That's okay, Dwight. I understand.

I can't even get a date with Mendenhall.

That settles it. I am just untouchable.

I wouldn't be so sure.

You've got to be kidding me.

All you've got to do is keep him in a public place.

Well, what about the one you rule?

Yeah, Joe Douglas is famous for his ethics.

I think I got myself a date.

Yo, man, how can you be sitting on a keg of dynamite like that and you ain't

even gonna tell us about it? It's not a keg of dynamite, man. We're just

friends. The girl doesn't ask you to do the Sadie Hawkins dance unless you give

her some encouragement.

What's up with you, guy?

What's up with me?

What's up with me?

I'll tell you.

I was in the cafeteria, you know, kind of making eyes at Kate from across the

room, you know, subtly letting her know that I wouldn't mind at all if she asked

me to do the dance. Yeah?

So I eased up next to her. Sort of looked the other way because I didn't

look too eager, right? Right. So?

So I hear a sweet tone of a female voice saying, Chris, would you like to go to

the dance with me?

And me being Mr. Cool, you know, without even looking back, I say, yeah.

Yo, what do I got to lose?

Oh, God, man, how many times do I have to tell you? You're supposed to look at

them first. It gets worse, Amatulo.

It's not until I hear, hey, I got a date. Do I realize I'm not Kate at all?

It's Mary Ann Kaczynski.

Oh, tough break.

So funny, Douglas.

You, man, getting stuck with a pooch like Marianne Kaczynski.

Oh, yeah?

And what gorgeous creature nailed you?

You creme de la creme, man.

You can call it chaffing.

Some girls have all the luck.

It's amazing what they've done with the cafeteria.

I mean, to think that just a few hours ago this was assumed a major food fight.

I think I stepped on a hamburger over there.

Stepped on a hamburger. What a sense of humor, beauty, charm.

She's got it all.

It's me, Mendenhall.

I think we can pull it off.

Just be cool. Cool.

I'll be back.

So, would you like to get some pint?

Yeah, I'd like that.

Jesse, I know it must be hard for you to see the comic show.

Are you kidding?

You called her Nikki, didn't you?

You girls are too much to come right into a man's trailer and kidnap him.

While he's watching Hamlet on TV?

Well, at least until the cable went out.

I just love it.

I don't know what to say.

Don't say anything, Mr. Deere, of course. Just enjoy yourself.

Mrs. Berg and I have agreed that we're going to pay for the ticket you got for

driving through Slovenia.

Oh, I can't let you do that.

We insist.

I'm beginning to think my run of bad luck is over.

Well, Danny, I was really surprised that you asked me to ask you to this dance.

Well, I was surprised that you asked me. I mean, I had no idea that you liked

me. You never even laughed at my jokes.

Well, that was because you never laughed at mine.

I guess it brought me back. I mean, that you were funny.

Where I'm brought up, the guys are the ones who are supposed to be funny.

Oh, Danny, I really like you, but I don't think I could stop being funny.

No, I like that you're funny.

You know what?

Let's just be off now, okay?

Okay. All right.

Hey, you want some dip?

Are you setting me up?

So we want everybody to pick a different girl, not your date.

Now go to it.

Yo, could I have this dance?

But you're my date.

So let them sue me.

And up the head of the...

Well, it's quite a show you put on last night.

I apologize, Mr. Darenforth.

I didn't mean to ruin everybody's good time.

Well, you did ruin mine.

And it was pretty good there for a while.

Do you have any idea what it feels like to have two women pick you up, bring you

flowers, take you out to dinner, and spend the whole evening fussing over

Yes, I do.

Oh, you do?

Well, I'm inclined to be a little lenient with you. I've had more than my

of problems lately. Maybe it's making me more sensitive to other people's.

In any case, I sense that you are having a problem with Miss Chapman.

I guess I am, sir.

What is it, a lover's spat?

Well, you can tell me. Don't be shy. I mean, I've been to hell and back.

Sir, I really don't want to talk about it. It's a very personal matter.

Oh. Well, thank you for sharing that with me, Mr. Velasquez.

But I didn't say anything.

You didn't have to.

My day was a lot simpler. There were good girls and there were bad girls.

Nowadays, there are just girls.

Some are more fun than others and some are not.

I take it that Nicole Chapman is not a fun girl.

Well, sir, she's fun, but she's just not as much fun as she could be.

Wait a minute. Are we talking about more than fun here?

Are you in love with Miss Chapman?

Oh, I know. You kids think that us adults don't really believe that you can

love somebody.

Well, that's a crock.

The most intense love that I ever had was when I was in high school.

I was 15.

If you really care about Nicole Chapman... Wait.

Thanks for the advice, Mr. Jernforth.

You're welcome.

Oh, by the way...

You have detention every day this week.

Yes, sir.

Nicole, wait, please.

I hope you're not going to ask if we can be friends.

I wasn't.

I felt funny asking Jesse to the dance.

But you did it anyway.

Yeah.

I just want you to know that I don't stand a chance with him.

Nobody does, Nicole.

Jesse only cares for you.

How do you know that?

When he took me home last night, I didn't get to first base with him.

He didn't even try to kiss you goodnight?

Nicole, I would like to be friends.

Me too.

One more thing.

If you ever go near Jesse again, I'll rip your arms off.

I don't believe this.

Yep, it's a nice one.

Excuse me, but...

Your brochure said antiques for poster beds, fireplaces. It sounded more

romantic. Oh, this isn't our brochure. You've come to the wrong place.

The Lionsgate Lodge is another 60 miles.

And what with the fog and the mountain roads, you're talking another four -hour

drive. Oh, it's only four hours.

We'll stay.

Oh, fine.

Give me a nice big tip and I'll be on my way.

Oh, yeah.

A heater takes quarters.

There ain't no room service.

And the bathroom's right outside, about 50 yards.

Will you and the missus be staying more than one night?

Off the top of my head, I say no.

Oh, fine. Well, suit yourself.

Thank you.

Good night.

Well... No, Nicky.

Maybe it's not as romantic as we wanted it to be.

I mean... It's okay. Don't worry about me.

And the important thing is that we're together, right?

Besides, this was my idea.

You would have settled for the makeup room.

Listen, if you really want to go back... No, no, no, no, no, no, really.

I'll just duck in the closet over here and slip into something a little

more comfortable and get ready for the major sacrifice.

Oh, come on. I'm just kidding.

I'm going to go check.

Hurry back.

I will.

Oh.

Can you get the heater started? It's kind of cold in here.

Consider it done.

Something wrong?

Nothing. Everything's great.

How are

we doing in there?

Doing fine.

Jesse? Are you cold?

Because I'm freezing.

Stop stalling, Nicole.

No, I'm not stalling. It's freezing in here.

All the heater's broken.

Well, can you close the window?

Don't go away.

What's wrong?

I don't know.

Stuck. We're gonna freeze to death in here.

No, we're not.

What are you doing?

Trying to keep warm.

Are you gonna wear all that to bed?

Yeah, you got a problem with that?

No.

It's just that...

I like your nightgown better.

This is it, Jesse.

Take it or leave it.

I'll take it.

Is that?

Yeah, it's moving.

I don't think so.

All right, all right, come on now. How'd you guys get whiplash?

Yeah, you guys don't even have a car.

You wouldn't believe how many different ways there are to get whiplash.

We were in a cab on our way to Nicole's house for dinner, and a car rear -ended

us.

Flaskers, what was the last time you paid for a cab?

Come on, are you guys going to give us a straight scoop or what?

Okay.

Here it is.

Jesse and I went up to a mountain cabin for a romantic weekend.

The place was a disaster.

The heater didn't work.

The window broke.

We both fell through the bed and wound up on the floor and nothing happened

except we got whiplash.

Okay, so don't tell us. See if we care.

But I can see tomorrow. See you guys later. Bye.

So what do we do now?

I don't know.

Want to try it again next weekend?

I think we've got to wait till the whiplash collars come off.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Maybe even a little longer?

Yeah.

How much longer?

A while.

I mean, when you say a while, do you mean like a short while or a long while?

Time is relative.

Yeah, but I mean, are we talking like days, weeks, months, what? We'll see,

we'll see. A year?
