1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:02,920
I just had a wonderful idea.

2
00:00:03,140 --> 00:00:05,080
You're sending Wesley to Afghanistan.

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:11,580
Oh, it's just that you've been here for
five years and you'll probably be with

4
00:00:11,580 --> 00:00:12,580
us another five.

5
00:00:12,660 --> 00:00:13,660
What?

6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:16,540
So I'm redecorating your room.

7
00:00:17,060 --> 00:00:18,060
What?

8
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,660
Don't worry, it will be tasteful and
charming, I promise. Just look what I

9
00:00:23,660 --> 00:00:24,660
with Kevin's old room.

10
00:00:24,860 --> 00:00:29,080
You mean putting in a giant screen TV
and painting the windows black?

11
00:00:31,340 --> 00:00:32,380
Real sentimental, Mom.

12
00:00:37,020 --> 00:00:39,580
I appreciate your good intentions, Mrs.
Owens.

13
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:40,920
Where do I sleep?

14
00:00:42,100 --> 00:00:43,800
There's an extra bunk in Wesley's room.

15
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,960
Hey, look what I dreaded my accordion
for.

16
00:00:53,980 --> 00:00:55,460
Hi, Ed. Hi, Ange.

17
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:57,340
You ready for school?

18
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,520
Almost. I'm reading up on current
events.

19
00:01:00,810 --> 00:01:03,650
a current event once, but that was years
ago.

20
00:01:05,770 --> 00:01:07,270
This is for speech club.

21
00:01:07,970 --> 00:01:12,050
You're joining the speech club? Yeah, to
learn how to express myself better and

22
00:01:12,050 --> 00:01:13,050
become more articulate.

23
00:01:13,650 --> 00:01:15,610
Okay. Who's the guy?

24
00:01:16,070 --> 00:01:17,390
There is no guy.

25
00:01:18,090 --> 00:01:20,230
You know, maybe I'll join the speech
club, too.

26
00:01:20,750 --> 00:01:25,130
You? Well, don't act so shocked,
Heather. I'm really good at expressing

27
00:01:39,370 --> 00:01:40,370
can stay here.

28
00:01:41,410 --> 00:01:43,570
Just think, I'll be living here all
week.

29
00:01:43,910 --> 00:01:45,270
Isn't that great, Mr. Blowhole?

30
00:01:50,830 --> 00:01:51,830
Wonderful.

31
00:01:52,430 --> 00:01:57,250
With your moving in and my bunking with
Wesley, it'll be a dream come true.

32
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:38,260
And sometimes people leave their
sprinklers running even when it's

33
00:02:38,260 --> 00:02:40,440
they hose off their dryers in the middle
of a drought.

34
00:02:40,660 --> 00:02:41,660
Angela?

35
00:02:42,510 --> 00:02:44,890
The topic is illegal immigration.

36
00:02:48,090 --> 00:02:50,350
I thought you said illegal irrigation.

37
00:02:53,070 --> 00:02:54,210
An easy mistake.

38
00:02:55,090 --> 00:02:56,190
Should I start over?

39
00:02:56,590 --> 00:02:58,570
No, no, no, no, no, no.

40
00:02:59,510 --> 00:03:03,550
I tell you what, why don't we hear from
one of our more experienced speakers,

41
00:03:03,950 --> 00:03:04,950
Marvin.

42
00:03:13,420 --> 00:03:16,840
topic will be healthcare in the United
States.

43
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,560
Go. Healthcare.

44
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,840
Many Americans cannot get or afford the
medical care they need.

45
00:03:24,460 --> 00:03:27,560
Conservatives propose slashing public
healthcare programs.

46
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,240
Liberals want to pour billions of
dollars into national health insurance.

47
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,240
In my opinion, we should encourage
insurance companies to pay for

48
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:41,480
medicine and establish a decentralized
delivery system of public healthcare.

49
00:03:42,340 --> 00:03:43,340
Thank you.

50
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,660
Boy, he's really good.

51
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,840
Yeah, he's cute, too, in a geeky sort of
way.

52
00:03:54,900 --> 00:03:56,420
Excellent, Marvin. Thank you.

53
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:57,740
See you all next time.

54
00:03:58,700 --> 00:04:00,680
Watch this. I'm going to go introduce
myself.

55
00:04:05,300 --> 00:04:06,300
I'm Heather.

56
00:04:07,020 --> 00:04:08,020
You know, that was a...

57
00:04:31,660 --> 00:04:32,660
Mr. Belvedere?

58
00:04:38,020 --> 00:04:39,020
Yes?

59
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,260
What was that for?

60
00:04:41,860 --> 00:04:46,300
I wanted to strike first before you
unleashed whatever fiendish prank you

61
00:04:46,300 --> 00:04:47,300
planning.

62
00:04:47,980 --> 00:04:49,720
Well, I guess you got me.

63
00:04:50,860 --> 00:04:51,860
I'm going to bed.

64
00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:56,040
Well, Wesley, if we're going to be back
late, I mean, we might as well make the

65
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:56,699
best of it.

66
00:04:56,700 --> 00:04:57,700
I guess so.

67
00:04:57,840 --> 00:04:58,840
I'll get the lights.

68
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:04,400
Are you asleep, Wesley?

69
00:05:06,780 --> 00:05:07,780
No.

70
00:05:08,180 --> 00:05:10,540
Would you like a little entertainment?

71
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:13,880
Huh?

72
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,380
Back by popular demand.

73
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,500
Sir Rodney...

74
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:33,560
Good afternoon, speakers.

75
00:05:33,820 --> 00:05:39,160
Why don't we begin today with a practice
debate on the subject of nuclear

76
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,560
disarmament. Who would like to take the
proposition?

77
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,160
Heather. And opposing?

78
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:46,240
Marvin.

79
00:05:46,620 --> 00:05:47,940
Heather, your opening statement?

80
00:05:52,860 --> 00:05:56,780
Well, I think we have enough nuclear
weapons in this world.

81
00:05:57,100 --> 00:05:59,500
I mean, how many times can we blow
ourselves up?

82
00:05:59,780 --> 00:06:03,420
All it is is a big waste of money, which
we could put into... social programs to

83
00:06:03,420 --> 00:06:04,379
help humanity.

84
00:06:04,380 --> 00:06:05,380
Thank you.

85
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:12,280
Peace.

86
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,860
Who among us doesn't want peace?

87
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:21,200
The question, of course, even to the
most naive, is how to achieve peace.

88
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,480
And in conclusion, I say, strength,
power.

89
00:06:26,700 --> 00:06:28,580
These are the guardians of liberty.

90
00:06:29,050 --> 00:06:32,250
The protectors of this grand experiment
we call democracy.

91
00:06:33,010 --> 00:06:34,010
Thank you.

92
00:06:41,590 --> 00:06:43,090
Anything to add, Kathy?

93
00:06:45,450 --> 00:06:46,450
I give.

94
00:06:48,990 --> 00:06:50,270
See you all next time.

95
00:06:56,730 --> 00:06:57,730
So, congratulations.

96
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:08,080
I'm sorry, but I... Well, you know what?
You're so good, I could sure use a few

97
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,080
pointers from you.

98
00:07:10,060 --> 00:07:12,320
How about tomorrow after school, my
house?

99
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:14,760
You mean your house?

100
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:16,360
Where you live?

101
00:07:17,580 --> 00:07:18,580
Yeah.

102
00:07:18,980 --> 00:07:19,939
Well, sure.

103
00:07:19,940 --> 00:07:20,940
Why not?

104
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:22,760
Gosh,

105
00:07:28,500 --> 00:07:31,800
he's so shy, except when he's debating.
It's like he's two different people.

106
00:07:33,870 --> 00:07:34,870
Batman.

107
00:07:38,070 --> 00:07:39,650
So, you want a soda?

108
00:07:40,970 --> 00:07:43,570
I never drink carbonated beverages
before a debate.

109
00:07:44,770 --> 00:07:46,150
Me neither.

110
00:07:49,950 --> 00:07:51,830
So, do you have a girlfriend?

111
00:07:52,850 --> 00:07:53,850
No.

112
00:07:55,070 --> 00:08:01,150
I mean, I'm on the debate team, varsity
towel boy, and president of the chess

113
00:08:01,150 --> 00:08:02,150
club.

114
00:08:02,700 --> 00:08:04,080
I don't have much time for girls.

115
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,720
Well, we're not all that time
-consuming.

116
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:09,960
Frankly, I think it's me.

117
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,120
In case you didn't notice, I'm kind of
awkward.

118
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,380
Well, maybe you just haven't met anyone
you feel comfortable with.

119
00:08:20,860 --> 00:08:21,860
I like girls.

120
00:08:23,020 --> 00:08:24,780
I'm just never sure how to ask them out.

121
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:26,320
Oh, that's easy.

122
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,580
I mean, let's take a hypothetical
situation.

123
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,740
for a pizza and maybe see a movie
tonight.

124
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,600
Slow down. This is good stuff.

125
00:08:49,860 --> 00:08:54,860
Anyway, chances are the hypothetical
person would say I'd love to.

126
00:08:55,660 --> 00:08:56,660
Hi, Marvin.

127
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,640
Hi. Uh, Angela, we were kind of in the
middle of something.

128
00:09:01,140 --> 00:09:02,240
Oh, okay.

129
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:09,380
Say, Angela, before you go, would

130
00:09:09,380 --> 00:09:12,680
you like to get a movie and...

131
00:09:13,610 --> 00:09:14,610
see a pizza tonight?

132
00:09:44,460 --> 00:09:45,460
Even sexy.

133
00:09:45,900 --> 00:09:49,340
There was a moment when he got his thumb
stuck in the ball and I was trying to

134
00:09:49,340 --> 00:09:50,340
help him get it out.

135
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,400
And our bodies became completely
intertwined.

136
00:09:54,340 --> 00:09:55,500
And then what happened?

137
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,240
He had an asthma attack.

138
00:09:58,700 --> 00:10:00,000
Gee, too bad.

139
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,020
You know, I never would have met Marvin
if I hadn't joined the speech club.

140
00:10:04,260 --> 00:10:06,160
And I never would have joined if you
hadn't joined.

141
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,500
Boy, talk about destiny, huh?

142
00:10:16,300 --> 00:10:19,960
is one of our most cherished rights and
must never be taken for granted. Thank

143
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:20,960
you.

144
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:23,680
Thank you, Heather.

145
00:10:24,060 --> 00:10:28,060
You've just earned a spot on the debate
team for this Saturday's speech meet

146
00:10:28,060 --> 00:10:29,060
against Fielding High.

147
00:10:32,180 --> 00:10:33,180
That's all for today.

148
00:10:33,340 --> 00:10:35,300
Angela, could I see you for a second?

149
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,420
Hey, that's great about you making the
team.

150
00:10:40,780 --> 00:10:41,780
Oh, thanks, Marvin.

151
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:43,920
And thank you.

152
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,180
Angela has changed my life.

153
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,500
Marvin, you went bowling together once.

154
00:10:51,620 --> 00:10:55,560
The thing is, Angela has brought me out
of my shell. I can talk to her just like

155
00:10:55,560 --> 00:10:56,560
I'm talking to you.

156
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,780
Well, now that you can talk to me, why
don't you ask me out?

157
00:11:01,540 --> 00:11:02,540
Huh?

158
00:11:02,900 --> 00:11:07,520
Well, if it just so happens, I have two
tickets to a special taping of Firing

159
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:08,520
Line from Pittsburgh.

160
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,320
Gee, that sounds tempting, but...

161
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,280
I kind of had plans on going to the
library with Angela.

162
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,440
William S. Buckley's debating Mr.

163
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:20,720
Rogers.

164
00:11:22,660 --> 00:11:26,020
Well, the library will always be there
tomorrow.

165
00:11:28,220 --> 00:11:31,640
Mr. Wiggins took me out of impromptu
speaking and made me a scorekeeper.

166
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:32,920
Says I'm a natural.

167
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,940
Well, now that you're keeping score,
it's one to one.

168
00:11:37,420 --> 00:11:38,600
See you later, Marvin.

169
00:12:29,550 --> 00:12:30,489
What happened to you?

170
00:12:30,490 --> 00:12:32,450
I got Mr. Belvedere as a roommate.

171
00:12:33,670 --> 00:12:35,350
There's no reason to foam at the mouth.

172
00:12:38,770 --> 00:12:42,590
He's doing all these dumb gags like I'm
still eight years old or something.

173
00:12:43,710 --> 00:12:44,770
So what are you going to do?

174
00:12:45,410 --> 00:12:50,270
Nothing. Well, Mom's finishing his
stupid room tomorrow. The nightmare is

175
00:12:50,730 --> 00:12:51,649
Hi, guys.

176
00:12:51,650 --> 00:12:54,730
Hello. Oh, Mr. Belvedere, about your
room.

177
00:12:55,850 --> 00:12:59,230
Ashley motif just didn't work out, so
I'll need a few more days.

178
00:12:59,510 --> 00:13:00,510
Huh?

179
00:13:01,570 --> 00:13:04,130
Take as long as you need, right, Rumi?

180
00:13:07,530 --> 00:13:09,850
Come on, I'll help you get that shaving
cream off.

181
00:13:16,150 --> 00:13:17,150
Morning!

182
00:13:17,650 --> 00:13:19,750
Oh, you got in kind of late last night.

183
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:26,820
some scrambled eggs? No, thanks.

184
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,040
Juice?

185
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:29,520
And grenades?

186
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:35,040
Look, Angela, I'd get help if Marvin
wanted to go out with me. He had a date

187
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,280
with me and you made him break it.
Angela, don't be such a sore loser.

188
00:13:38,700 --> 00:13:39,940
This isn't over yet, sister.

189
00:13:41,420 --> 00:13:43,480
This Marvin must be some guy.

190
00:14:15,630 --> 00:14:18,490
I left my topic file out in the car. Be
right back.

191
00:14:20,450 --> 00:14:22,470
I'm gonna go get some root beer. He
loves it.

192
00:15:02,510 --> 00:15:03,510
a card in here on me.

193
00:15:04,290 --> 00:15:05,510
I know that one best.

194
00:15:10,730 --> 00:15:11,730
Hold that thought.

195
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,560
This looks like that old fish netting
from the basement.

196
00:16:21,870 --> 00:16:23,530
what the three little piggies are up to.

197
00:16:25,630 --> 00:16:29,570
You know, I'm working on getting my
locker room next to yours.

198
00:16:30,390 --> 00:16:32,870
Cindy and Wesley sitting up a tree.

199
00:16:33,170 --> 00:16:35,450
A -I -S -S -I -N -G.

200
00:16:36,870 --> 00:16:38,130
Just say more of that.

201
00:16:38,910 --> 00:16:40,270
Yeah, I did my math homework.

202
00:16:40,950 --> 00:16:41,950
Problem seven.

203
00:17:15,589 --> 00:17:16,790
thought you were enjoying yourself.

204
00:17:16,990 --> 00:17:21,170
I know I am. Well, I'm not, you
oversized candy cane.

205
00:17:23,569 --> 00:17:25,010
Yes, you've made that quite clear.

206
00:17:25,670 --> 00:17:27,050
Can't you just leave me alone?

207
00:17:27,589 --> 00:17:28,870
By all means.

208
00:17:35,390 --> 00:17:37,690
I'll not be patronized by you any
longer.

209
00:17:38,670 --> 00:17:40,630
You humorless little snot!

210
00:17:52,910 --> 00:17:53,589
It's her.

211
00:17:53,590 --> 00:17:54,990
What are you doing here?

212
00:17:55,770 --> 00:17:59,590
Beverly Clark has Mono, and everyone
else has entered another event, so Mr.

213
00:17:59,750 --> 00:18:00,750
Wiggins put me in.

214
00:18:00,890 --> 00:18:03,770
And that's the last thing I'm going to
say to you for the rest of my life.

215
00:18:04,750 --> 00:18:06,190
By the way, you're ugly.

216
00:18:09,290 --> 00:18:15,490
Good afternoon, and welcome to today's
debate between Fielding High and our own

217
00:18:15,490 --> 00:18:17,330
Van Buren Speechmasters.

218
00:18:23,939 --> 00:18:30,500
is in an era of serious national debt,
can we preserve the social security

219
00:18:30,500 --> 00:18:31,500
system?

220
00:18:32,020 --> 00:18:37,100
Van Buren, having won the toss, will go
first and defend the parole position.

221
00:18:37,900 --> 00:18:39,160
Social security.

222
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,860
Yes, it is expensive, and it will get
more expensive, but whatever the cost...

223
00:18:53,350 --> 00:18:54,189
Rightfully yours.

224
00:18:54,190 --> 00:18:57,810
Or you haven't, and the next thing you
know, your so -called best friend tries

225
00:18:57,810 --> 00:18:58,810
to steal it.

226
00:18:59,190 --> 00:19:00,169
I object.

227
00:19:00,170 --> 00:19:02,330
This isn't supposed to be tag team
debating.

228
00:19:02,710 --> 00:19:03,990
Please, Heather, Angela.

229
00:19:04,330 --> 00:19:05,330
Oh, shut up.

230
00:19:06,390 --> 00:19:09,110
Speechmasters, you're supposed to be
debating them.

231
00:19:09,650 --> 00:19:12,190
Well, maybe we would be if he'd make up
his mind.

232
00:19:12,430 --> 00:19:13,730
Yeah, this is all his fault.

233
00:19:14,190 --> 00:19:17,650
Look, you're driving me crazy. I can't
take it anymore.

234
00:19:18,130 --> 00:19:22,170
I appreciate everything you two have
done for me, but you're just too...

235
00:19:27,340 --> 00:19:29,780
a nice, quiet girl without a best
friend.

236
00:19:30,220 --> 00:19:31,220
Thank you.

237
00:19:35,060 --> 00:19:41,040
Mr. Liggins, I guess we kind of made
fools of ourselves, and I'm really sorry

238
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,040
embarrassed the school.

239
00:19:42,380 --> 00:19:44,400
Yeah, what can we do to make it up to
you?

240
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,420
Join the skydiving club.

241
00:19:52,500 --> 00:19:56,240
This was the most humiliating experience
of my life.

242
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,880
time you were talking to Chad Smith and
I made a face behind his back and you

243
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,520
laughed and chocolate milk came out of
your nose?

244
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,740
We made fools of ourselves over a guy.

245
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:09,600
What did you see in him anyway?

246
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,000
I don't know.

247
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:12,500
What did you see in him?

248
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,820
I guess we wanted to want him so bad
that we wanted to want him just to want

249
00:20:16,820 --> 00:20:17,820
him.

250
00:20:18,120 --> 00:20:20,560
You mean we got cut up in the
competition for him?

251
00:20:21,540 --> 00:20:22,540
Yeah, that too.

252
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,400
Well, let's promise never to do that
again.

253
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:26,920
Promise.

254
00:20:31,110 --> 00:20:33,930
Would you like to go out for a pizza and
maybe see a movie tonight?

255
00:20:35,670 --> 00:20:37,150
We have to go to the bathroom.

256
00:20:41,750 --> 00:20:43,130
Room's still not ready yet, huh?

257
00:20:43,730 --> 00:20:45,310
Your mother promised it for tomorrow.

258
00:20:47,850 --> 00:20:51,150
I guess we could have avoided all this
if I'd been honest with you from the

259
00:20:51,150 --> 00:20:54,910
beginning. Yes, well, it would have been
reassuring from the start to know how

260
00:20:54,910 --> 00:20:55,910
much you despise me.

261
00:20:57,270 --> 00:20:58,930
I don't despise you.

262
00:20:59,710 --> 00:21:00,710
It's just...

263
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,140
When you came here, I was only eight.
Now I'm twelve.

264
00:21:05,220 --> 00:21:06,220
That's odd.

265
00:21:06,860 --> 00:21:08,800
I've aged 30 or 40 years.

266
00:21:10,360 --> 00:21:11,700
You know what I mean.

267
00:21:12,220 --> 00:21:13,820
I'm not that little kid anymore.

268
00:21:14,500 --> 00:21:16,680
The one that plays dumb practical jokes.

269
00:21:17,540 --> 00:21:18,540
I know.

270
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,300
It's just that sometimes I miss the old
days.

271
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:26,400
Me too.

272
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:28,680
Life was simpler then.

273
00:21:31,930 --> 00:21:33,450
So, no hard feelings?

274
00:21:34,070 --> 00:21:35,070
None at all.

275
00:21:36,150 --> 00:21:39,730
You know, it's nice that you're maturing
a little.

276
00:21:45,130 --> 00:21:46,150
Being temporarily...

277
00:21:59,210 --> 00:22:02,570
I'm forced to record my journal entry
where I can find a moment's peace.

278
00:22:03,730 --> 00:22:07,170
Wesley and I have reached an
understanding about his emerging

279
00:22:08,110 --> 00:22:11,710
Although I dare not let my guard down
since he seems prone to relapse.

280
00:22:12,770 --> 00:22:18,390
And as for Heather and Angela, their
friendship seems to have endured love

281
00:22:18,390 --> 00:22:19,390
war.

282
00:22:20,110 --> 00:22:23,730
And as for my room, well, that's
anyone's guess.

283
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:32,300
Ready to sneak a peek?

284
00:22:33,980 --> 00:22:35,280
Actually, I am a bit curious.

285
00:22:35,940 --> 00:22:38,520
Well, I'm all done. Go ahead, take a
look.

286
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:18,140
Later tonight on Nightline, the tragedy
that struck United Flight 811.

287
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,340
It's hardly an isolated event.

288
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,560
Ted Koppel looks at the crisis of
confidence surrounding the airline
