00:02:48 High school is like the training wheels...
00:02:51 for the bicycle of real life.
00:02:53 It is a time when young people can explore...
00:02:56 different fields of interests...
00:02:58 and hopefully learn from their experiences.
00:03:02 In coming to terms with my own personal setback...
00:03:05 I have been able to learn...
00:03:08 that I don't need to rely on drugs and alcohol...
00:03:11 and that I'm very lucky...
00:03:14 that more people besides myself and Kerry...
00:03:19 weren't injured in the accident.
00:03:21 And I have learned...
00:03:23 that to overcome life's obstacles...
00:03:26 you need faith, hope...
00:03:30 and above all, a sense of humor.
00:03:40 No more education
00:03:42 It's time for celebration
00:03:44 'Cause this is the day of our high school graduation
00:03:48 We've stayed for the duration
00:03:49 Achieved matriculation
00:03:51 Now we're the newest members of the general population
00:04:08 God, what a bunch of retards.
00:04:11 God, I know. I thought that chipmunk face...
00:04:13 was never going to shut up.
00:04:14 I know. I liked her so much better...
00:04:16 when she was an alcoholic crack addict.
00:04:17 She gets in one car wreck...
00:04:19 and all of the sudden she's Little Miss Perfect...
00:04:20 and everyone loves her.
00:04:22 Let's see if they gave me the right diploma.
00:04:29 - What?
00:04:31 These assholes are saying I have to go to summer school...
00:04:32 and take some stupid art class.
00:04:34 Why?
00:04:35 God, I didn't think that just because you get an "F"...
00:04:36 you have to take the whole class over again.
00:04:38 Loser.
00:04:55 Wow. This is so bad, it's almost good.
00:04:57 This is so bad, it's gone past good and back to bad again.
00:05:03 At least we'll never have to see...
00:05:04 any of these creepy faces ever again.
00:05:07 Unless they're in your summer school class.
00:05:10 Shut up.
00:05:14 - Don't turn around.
00:05:16 - Don't turn around.
00:05:18 Oh, my God. You guys, I can't believe we made it.
00:05:22 Yeah. We graduated high school.
00:05:24 How totally amazing.
00:05:25 So, what are you guys doing this summer?
00:05:27 Nothing.
00:05:28 Well, I'm going to this actor's workshop...
00:05:30 and I'm hoping to start auditions soon.
00:05:33 Oh, we have to get together this summer.
00:05:35 Yeah. That'll definitely happen.
00:05:40 Well, bye, you guys.
00:05:42 Congratulations!
00:05:59 - Hey, Rebecca.
00:06:02 So, we finally--
00:06:04 What about me? Am I not even here?
00:06:06 Hey, Enid.
00:06:09 - So, we finally made it, huh?
00:06:15 So, where are you going to go to college?
00:06:18 We're not.
00:06:20 Really?
00:06:21 Both of you? Why not?
00:06:23 Just because.
00:06:25 Yeah, we made other plans.
00:06:28 I guess I should have figured...
00:06:29 that you two would do something different.
00:06:32 So, Todd, what are you going to be when you grow up?
00:06:35 Well, I'm majoring in Business Administration...
00:06:39 and thinking of minoring in Communications, so--
00:06:43 See, that's exactly the type of thing we're trying to avoid.
00:06:46 Look at this.
00:06:48 Is Stacy Himmler going out with Rod Harbaugh?
00:06:51 Oh, God. How perfect.
00:06:53 He better watch out, or he'll get AIDS when he date-rapes her.
00:06:58 Where is the love
00:07:01 You said you'd give to me
00:07:03 As soon as you were free?
00:07:05 Will it ever be?
00:07:09 God, just think. We'll never see Dennis again.
00:07:12 Good.
00:07:14 No, really. Think about that.
00:07:18 It's actually totally depressing.
00:07:34 Is it crazy for an oil company to care about the environment?
00:07:37 We don't think so.
00:07:38 I already told you I'm not going to college.
00:07:40 I think it's a good idea to keep all your options open.
00:07:43 You can even enroll in the winter quarter.
00:07:46 Actually, you could live here...
00:07:48 and go to the city college part time...
00:07:51 and still get a job if you want.
00:07:55 Look at me. I'm not even listening...
00:07:56 to a word you're saying.
00:07:58 Did I tell you who I ran into at the bagel place?
00:08:01 Who?
00:08:02 - Guess.
00:08:04 Well, someone from the past.
00:08:09 - Who?
00:08:12 - Yes.
00:08:16 - Not the Maxine?
00:08:20 Oh, God. How horrifying.
00:08:28 It's very good.
00:08:37 Jesus.
00:09:05 Check out these people behind you.
00:09:07 I'm totally convinced they're Satanists.
00:09:19 So when are we gonna start looking for our apartment?
00:09:21 Soon.
00:09:22 I have to wait and see how this summer class goes first.
00:09:24 God, it's so weird that we're finally out of high school.
00:09:27 We've been waiting for this our whole lives.
00:09:29 It's such a weird feeling.
00:09:31 Yeah. It hasn't really hit me yet.
00:09:34 Well, well, well.
00:09:37 If it isn't Enid and Rebecca--
00:09:40 the little Jewish girl and her Aryan friend.
00:09:42 - You're late, asshole.
00:09:45 Did you bring the tape?
00:09:50 You never paid me for that tape of the Indian dance routine.
00:09:52 Yes, I did.
00:09:55 You Jews are so clever with money.
00:09:57 Fuck you! You stupid redneck hick.
00:09:59 Oh, my God. Look, the Satanists are leaving.
00:10:01 Hey, we should follow them.
00:10:03 Oh, we totally have to.
00:10:08 Oh, my God!
00:10:16 So, what do you do if you're a Satanist, anyway?
00:10:20 Sacrifice virgins and stuff.
00:10:22 Well, that lets us off the hook.
00:10:27 How the hell did we get so far behind them?
00:10:29 I don't know. That's just great.
00:10:30 - Jesus!
00:10:33 Oh, my God. Look at this.
00:10:36 "Wowsville"? Authentic Fifties diner?
00:10:40 Since when were there mini-malls in the 1950s?
00:10:46 Who could forget this great hit from the Fifties, huh?
00:10:49 I feel as though I've stepped into a time warp.
00:10:53 Hey, check out the awesome Fifties hairdo on our waiter.
00:10:58 Hi. My name is Allen...
00:11:02 and I'll be your waiter this afternoon.
00:11:04 - Hi, Al.
00:11:07 I'd imagine so.
00:11:11 You should check out the personals.
00:11:13 Maybe our future husbands are trying to contact us.
00:11:19 Here we go.
00:11:21 "Windsurfing doctor, Mensan IQ, maverick Sagittarius.
00:11:26 "Let's hit the clubs, make each other laugh."
00:11:29 You can have that one.
00:11:31 Jesus, listen to this one.
00:11:33 "Do you remember me, airport shuttle, June 7?
00:11:36 "You, striking blond with yellow dress...
00:11:39 "pearl necklace, brown shoes.
00:11:40 "I was the bookish fellow in the green cardigan...
00:11:43 "who helped you find your contact lens.
00:11:45 "Am I crazy, or did we have a moment?"
00:11:47 God, that's so pathetic.
00:11:48 I mean, she probably didn't even notice him.
00:11:51 And he's psychotically obsessing over every little detail.
00:11:54 We should call him and pretend to be the blond.
00:11:56 Oh, we totally have to.
00:12:01 It's his machine.
00:12:05 Hi, it's me.
00:12:08 Your striking blond.
00:12:09 Of course I remember you.
00:12:11 Let's get together for lunch sometime.
00:12:12 How about Friday at 1:00?
00:12:15 Meet me at my favorite restaurant--Wowsville.
00:12:19 It's in the mall on Century Parkway.
00:12:21 See you there, darling.
00:12:23 Oh, yeah, and be sure to wear that sexy green cardigan.
00:12:30 Oh, it's that comedian I was telling you about.
00:12:33 - I still live with my mother.
00:12:37 So what if she's been dead for fifteen years?
00:12:41 See? That's barely even a joke.
00:12:43 Well, it's like I always say--
00:12:47 take my life...please.
00:12:51 Joey McCobb, the weirdest man in show business.
00:12:54 If he's so weird, how come he's wearing Nikes?
00:12:59 Joey McCobb is our god.
00:13:01 - I want to do him.
00:13:04 Actually, he kind of reminds me...
00:13:05 of that one guy you went out with--Larry.
00:13:07 God, what look was he going for...
00:13:08 a gay tennis player from the Forties?
00:13:10 - Fuck you.
00:13:14 Why do you have this?
00:13:15 I don't know. You lent it to me in, like, tenth grade.
00:13:17 Oh, look at how cute I am.
00:13:22 What a little hose bag.
00:13:26 Look, there's my dad with Maxine.
00:13:28 God, look at her. What a fucking monster.
00:13:33 If he starts dating her again, I'll kill myself.
00:13:38 Listen, lady, you tell me you want to relax your hair.
00:13:40 Sing it a lullaby or use this. It's all I've got.
00:13:45 Hey, what you doing?
00:13:46 You have five minutes left on your shift.
00:13:55 Well, hello there, young employee of the Sidewinder.
00:13:58 Look, I already told you guys, I'm not giving you a ride.
00:14:02 What can you tell me, young man...
00:14:03 about the various flavors of frozen yogurt?
00:14:06 I'll be done in a minute. Can you guys just wait outside?
00:14:09 I don't understand. I simply wish to know--
00:14:11 Josh, what are you doing?
00:14:14 In addition to our favorites, chocolate and vanilla...
00:14:17 this week we are featuring six-gun strawberry...
00:14:19 wild cherry roundup, and ten-gallon tangerine.
00:14:22 I don't believe I care for any of those.
00:14:25 What's up, Josh? Give me two packs of cigarettes today.
00:14:28 Working overtime. Sixteen hours.
00:14:34 And nature's nectar, wake-up Juice.
00:14:38 And give me six of these beef jerkys.
00:14:41 I'm hungry enough to chew the crotch out of a rag doll.
00:14:44 Hey! Hey, you!
00:14:46 How many times I tell you? No shirt, no service.
00:14:48 Get the hell out of my store.
00:14:49 What do you think this is, Club Med?
00:14:51 It's America, dude. Learn the rules.
00:14:53 No, you learn the rules. We Greeks invented democracy.
00:14:56 - You also invented homos.
00:14:59 You wish. You got to buy me dinner first.
00:15:04 So...
00:15:05 Can we talk about this in a minute?
00:15:07 Seriously, I'm, like, this close to being done.
00:15:24 Son of a bitch.
00:15:27 What do you think you're doing?
00:15:29 Turn off that goddamn noise.
00:15:31 Rock 'n' roll, baby. Freedom of speech.
00:15:33 What do you think this is, Woodstock?
00:15:34 - That guy rules!
00:15:37 That guy spends more time in here than I do.
00:15:40 It's my parking lot!
00:15:41 So, Josh, will you please give us a ride?
00:15:44 - Please, Josh?
00:15:46 - Please? It'll be super fun.
00:15:51 Look, I don't see why you guys even need a ride.
00:15:54 You could walk there in two minutes.
00:15:56 It's just an excuse for us to spend time with you, Josh.
00:15:59 If this guy freaks out, will you protect us?
00:16:01 This guy has every reason to freak out.
00:16:04 This is a pretty fucked up thing to do to somebody.
00:16:07 I think Josh is becoming too mature for us.
00:16:14 Oh, look, maybe that's him.
00:16:15 No. It's still twenty-five minutes too early.
00:16:20 Aren't there a million places like this?
00:16:22 No. This is the ultimate.
00:16:24 It's, like, the Taj Mahal of fake Fifties diners.
00:16:29 So, where's the Weird Al guy?
00:16:33 There he is back there.
00:16:35 I can see his hair bobbing up and down.
00:16:39 I want to make love to him.
00:16:42 I'm gonna tell him you said that.
00:16:45 So nice to see you again, ladies.
00:16:47 Hi, Weird Al. My friend here has--
00:16:49 Shut up!
00:16:51 - She says she wants to--
00:16:56 Oh, my God.
00:16:57 God, that is obviously him.
00:17:18 Oh, my God. He just ordered a giant glass of milk.
00:17:24 That's a vanilla milkshake.
00:17:49 Oh, God, this is totally unbearable.
00:18:18 Fucking asshole! What's wrong with you?
00:18:20 Oh, my God. It's him.
00:18:24 - Can anybody drive?
00:18:27 - We should follow him home.
00:18:30 Come on, Josh. Don't you want to see where this guy lives?
00:18:44 God, he lives right in our neighborhood.
00:18:45 He doesn't even look all that bummed out really.
00:18:47 I know.
00:18:49 Wouldn't he be, like, totally pissed off?
00:18:53 This type of thing must happen to him all the time.
00:18:57 Mirror, father, mirror.
00:19:25 That piece is entitled "Mirror, Father, Mirror."
00:19:32 I like to show it...
00:19:33 to people that I'm meeting for the first time...
00:19:35 because I think it says so much about who I am...
00:19:39 and what it feels like to inhabit my specific skin.
00:19:48 And this is exactly what I'm hoping to get...
00:19:52 from each of you over the course of this summer--
00:19:54 a picture of your own self-exploration.
00:20:00 Now, my own background is in video and performance art...
00:20:06 but I'm hoping that doesn't influence you too much...
00:20:09 and you'll find your own ways of externalizing the internal.
00:20:14 And at the end of the summer, this class has been invited...
00:20:17 to participate in a show of high school art...
00:20:21 at the neighborhood activity center.
00:20:24 The title of the show will be...
00:20:27 "Brotherhood and Community: Art as Dialogue."
00:20:34 Are there any questions so far?
00:20:42 Great!
00:20:44 This is really creepy.
00:20:46 We just need to find out what apartment he's in...
00:20:48 and we'll stalk him from a distance.
00:20:50 I'm afraid if I see him, I'll feel really bad again.
00:21:00 This is girl mail.
00:21:05 This is computer catalogs and stuff.
00:21:07 "The W.C. Fields Fan Club Newsletter"?
00:21:11 Oh, my God. The National Psoriasis Foundation?
00:21:14 - Bingo.
00:21:22 Come on.
00:21:23 What if he recognizes us?
00:21:33 Eww, look at this.
00:21:36 Eww. Gross.
00:21:37 Kinda cute.
00:21:39 It looks like a gross rat.
00:21:40 That's a mongoose.
00:21:43 How much is it?
00:21:47 That's not officially for sale.
00:21:49 I might have to hang on to that for the time being.
00:21:57 So, you looking for anything in particular?
00:22:02 Do you have any other old records besides these?
00:22:04 Seymour does.
00:22:06 Who does?
00:22:07 Oh, him. Seymour.
00:22:09 He's the man with the records.
00:22:18 Do you have any old Indian records?
00:22:21 Indian records?
00:22:22 Yeah. You know, like, old Indian 1960s rock 'n' roll music.
00:22:26 I may have one Hindu 78...
00:22:29 in my collection from the Twenties...
00:22:31 but it's not really for sale.
00:22:33 I don't really collect foreign.
00:22:41 Those are all 78s. You play 78s?
00:22:45 Maybe not 78s, but I can play regular records.
00:22:49 Well, there's some good stuff in here.
00:22:51 - You like old music?
00:22:54 There's some choice LPs in here...
00:22:56 that reissue some really great old blues stuff.
00:22:58 How about this one? Is it any good?
00:23:00 No, that one's not so great.
00:23:03 Excuse me.
00:23:06 This is the one I'd recommend.
00:23:07 It's...
00:23:09 This track alone by Memphis Minnie...
00:23:11 is worth about $500 if you own the original 78.
00:23:14 I know the guy who owns the original...
00:23:16 and lent it for use on this reissue.
00:23:18 Wow.
00:23:21 - How much is it?
00:23:27 If you don't like it, you can bring it back for a refund.
00:23:33 We're here every Saturday.
00:23:36 I'm sure it's OK.
00:23:44 Enjoy.
00:23:47 It was so cute how he had his own little bags.
00:23:49 I thought I was going to start crying.
00:23:51 Yeah, he should totally just kill himself.
00:23:53 Oh, here's one.
00:23:56 But you have to share with a...
00:23:58 "nonsmoking feminist and her two cats."
00:24:01 I don't know. I kind of like him.
00:24:03 He's the exact opposite of everything I really hate.
00:24:07 In a way, he's such a clueless dork...
00:24:09 he's almost kind of cool.
00:24:10 That guy is many things, but he's definitely not cool.
00:24:15 This would be good, but there's no kitchen.
00:24:18 Yeah, but... you know what I mean.
00:24:21 Not really.
00:24:24 Forget it. I can't explain it.
00:24:28 Oh, my God. What are you guys doing here?
00:24:31 What are you doing here, Melorra?
00:24:33 My acting workshop is across the street from here.
00:24:35 I'm just on my break.
00:24:36 Well, we won't keep you.
00:24:39 I love this place.
00:24:42 It's so, I don't know... You know, funky.
00:24:50 So, what are you guys up to?
00:24:52 We're looking for apartments.
00:24:54 God, how cool. Where are you moving?
00:24:56 We don't know yet. That's why we're looking.
00:24:59 Somewhere downtown.
00:25:00 God, that's so exciting.
00:25:04 Oops, I should go.
00:25:06 Bye, you guys. Call me. Bye.
00:25:15 Funky.
00:25:17 What, is she black now?
00:25:20 So, I was thinking that when we look for our apartment...
00:25:23 we have to convince these people that we're totally rich yuppies.
00:25:28 What are you talking about?
00:25:29 That's who people want to rent to.
00:25:32 So all we have to do is buy semi-expensive outfits...
00:25:36 and I think it's no big deal.
00:25:39 It'll be really fun.
00:26:00 Honey, have you seen my blue spatula?
00:26:02 What, are you making pancakes?
00:26:04 Not if I can't find that goddamn spatula.
00:26:19 That's just great. When did you do that?
00:26:23 God, how long have you been standing there?
00:26:27 Hey, look. There's the pants.
00:26:29 Where are we going?
00:26:31 Let's go hassle Josh.
00:26:33 Hassle?
00:26:36 - Oh, look, there he is.
00:26:38 Waiting for the bus that never comes.
00:26:40 I wonder if he's just totally insane...
00:26:41 or he really thinks the bus is coming?
00:26:42 Why don't you just ask him?
00:26:49 Hi. What's your name?
00:26:52 Norman.
00:26:55 - Are you waiting for a bus?
00:27:00 I hate to tell you this...
00:27:01 but they canceled this bus line two years ago.
00:27:05 There are no more buses on this street.
00:27:08 You don't know what you're talking about.
00:27:15 Josh!
00:27:29 I bet he's in there jerking off.
00:27:31 I'll bet he never jerks off.
00:27:33 Yeah, he's beyond human stuff like that.
00:27:38 Should we leave a note?
00:27:40 - Yeah. You got a pen?
00:27:52 "Dear Josh, we came by to fuck you...
00:27:57 "but you were not home. Therefore, you are gay.
00:28:02 "Signed Tiffany and Amber."
00:28:08 - You're going to leave that?
00:28:11 Why do we have to go in here? I hate this place.
00:28:13 Don't worry. It'll only take a second.
00:28:16 Whoever told you that bullshit about boiling...
00:28:17 is out of his mind.
00:28:18 Carpet beetles are the only way to get flesh off a corpse.
00:28:22 I'm just telling you what he said.
00:28:25 Don't you creeps ever talk about anything nice?
00:28:27 Don't you ever talk about fluffy kittens or the Easter Bunny?
00:28:31 Look who's talking, Little Miss Badass.
00:28:33 Yeah, nice outfit.
00:28:35 Who are you supposed to be, Cyndi Lauper?
00:28:38 Blow me, doofus.
00:28:39 Oh, my God. Didn't they tell you?
00:28:41 - Tell me what?
00:28:44 I know it's over, asshole.
00:28:45 Want to fuck up the system? Go to business school.
00:28:49 That's what I'm going to do.
00:28:50 Get a job at some big corporation...
00:28:52 and, like, fuck things up from the inside.
00:28:54 - You know, I'm not even trying--
00:28:57 Hey, do you have my money?
00:29:04 Oh, how punk.
00:29:06 You know that tape sucked, by the way?
00:29:08 - So sorry if it offended Jew.
00:29:10 - Get a job.
00:29:13 Can we go now?
00:29:15 You know, it's not like I'm some modern punk, dickhead.
00:29:18 It's obviously a 1977 original punk rock look.
00:29:22 Johnny Fuckface over there is too stupid to realize it.
00:29:25 I didn't really get it, either.
00:29:27 Everyone's too stupid.
00:31:50 It took me a while before I got a chance to actually play it...
00:31:54 but once I heard that song, it was like--
00:31:56 You liked it, huh?
00:31:57 There's some really rare performances.
00:32:01 What about--Did you like the Memphis Minnie?
00:32:04 That was good, too. The whole record was good...
00:32:06 but that one song, "Devil Got My Woman..."
00:32:08 I mostly just keep playing that over and over.
00:32:12 Do you have any other records like that?
00:32:13 There are no other records like that.
00:32:16 Actually, I have the original 78 in my collection.
00:32:20 It's one of maybe five known copies.
00:32:23 Wow.
00:32:25 Yeah. Do you want to see it?
00:32:27 I can run upstairs and get it.
00:32:29 Sure, yeah.
00:32:32 Watch my stuff.
00:32:36 Here we go. It's...
00:32:40 It's only about a B-minus.
00:32:41 It's got an incipient lam crack...
00:32:43 but it plays decent as I recall.
00:32:49 - Oops, I dropped it!
00:32:51 I was only kidding.
00:32:55 Jesus, Seymour, are you all right?
00:32:57 Yeah, it's just...
00:32:59 it's very valuable.
00:33:02 Now, last week, I asked you...
00:33:05 to try to create a piece of artwork...
00:33:06 that responds to something you have strong feelings about.
00:33:11 I merely want to help you find...
00:33:15 the best way to look within yourselves...
00:33:18 the best key to your particular lock.
00:33:22 And it looks like we have some really interesting work up here.
00:33:26 Thanks.
00:33:30 What can you tell us about your piece...
00:33:33 Phillip?
00:33:37 It's about The Mutilator.
00:33:40 My goodness.
00:33:43 It's a really great video game...
00:33:45 about a guy who kills people with a big hammer.
00:33:48 Oh. I thought maybe this was supposed to be your father.
00:33:55 What can you tell us about this piece..
00:33:58 - Enid.
00:34:00 Well, it's kind of a diary,
00:34:06 Colorful.
00:34:18 I think that Phillip and Enid can help us to see that...
00:34:22 there are many different ways we can express ourselves.
00:34:25 We can do things like these cartoons that are amusing...
00:34:29 as a sort of a light entertainment...
00:34:31 or we can do work that is more serious...
00:34:35 in scope, in feeling, and that deals with issues--
00:34:37 emotional, spiritual, political...
00:34:41 of great importance.
00:34:43 Who is responsible for this?
00:34:46 I am.
00:34:47 Talk to us about it.
00:34:50 It's my response to the issue of a woman's right to choose.
00:34:53 It's something I feel super strongly about.
00:34:59 Isn't this a wonderful piece, class?
00:35:00 This definitely falls into that higher category of art...
00:35:06 I was speaking of earlier.
00:35:10 In a world where nothing is what it seems...
00:35:14 in a time of uncertainty...
00:35:17 the future is about to be placed...
00:35:19 Hello. Welcome to Masterpiece Video.
00:35:21 How may I help you this afternoon, sir?
00:35:22 I'm looking for a copy of "8 1/2."
00:35:24 Is that a new release, sir?
00:35:26 No. It's the classic Italian film.
00:35:28 Yes, sir.
00:35:30 I'll just check that on the computer for you, sir.
00:35:36 Hello! How are you young ladies this afternoon?
00:35:38 May I help you find a particular Masterpiece movie?
00:35:41 No.
00:35:42 Yes, here it is.
00:35:43 "9 1/2 Weeks" with Mickey Rourke.
00:35:46 That would be in the erotic drama section.
00:35:49 No, not "9 1/2," "8 1/2." The Fellini film.
00:35:53 How about this one?
00:35:55 Forget it. I'm sure it sucks.
00:35:57 All these movies suck.
00:36:00 America's top critics agree--
00:36:03 "The Flower That Drank The Moon..."
00:36:04 Let's get out of here. This place makes me sick.
00:36:07 We have to do something fun tonight.
00:36:09 It's my last weekend of freedom before I start my stupid job.
00:36:13 I know a party we could go to later.
00:36:16 Really? Where?
00:36:18 It's a surprise.
00:36:23 Some records I will pay serious money for...
00:36:25 provided that they're a sincere V-plus.
00:36:28 Other than that, I just prefer to have them on CD.
00:36:31 But CDs will never have the presence of an original 78.
00:36:34 Wrong. A digital transfer, adequately mastered...
00:36:37 will sound identical to the original.
00:36:38 Do you have a decent equalizer?
00:36:40 - I have a Klipsch 2B3.
00:36:43 You expect a ten-band equalizer...
00:36:45 to impart state-of-the-art sound?
00:36:47 Dream a little dream. It's never gonna happen.
00:36:52 I totally, totally hate you.
00:36:54 Come on. This is a fun party.
00:37:01 Erskine Hawkins and his orchestra, do you have that?
00:37:03 That's nice, but no.
00:37:07 - "Golden Wedding"?
00:37:09 That's excellent.
00:37:11 What's the story with the two cheerleaders over there?
00:37:14 They're Seymour's.
00:37:16 Seymour? No. You got to be kidding me.
00:37:19 Don't worry about it. I've lived with the guy for five years.
00:37:22 He's not getting any. Neither are you.
00:37:25 Hey, you know what? Listen to me, Joe, all right?
00:37:27 Let me tell you something, Joe, OK?
00:37:30 You can't score a home run without swinging the bat.
00:37:32 All right? Physically impossible.
00:37:35 Watch and learn, padre.
00:37:41 How's it going, Adam?
00:37:44 There's a seat right there.
00:37:46 - Mind if I sit down?
00:37:49 Oh, man. That was cold.
00:37:51 You're all right.
00:37:53 You're pretty sharp.
00:37:54 You're wearing a green dress. What are you, lrish?
00:37:58 I bet you're Irish. What's your name?
00:38:00 - Melorra.
00:38:03 So listen to me, Melorra.
00:38:05 Let me tell you something.
00:38:07 You seem like an interesting chick.
00:38:09 What are you doing hanging here with all these losers?
00:38:12 What do you say you and me go hit some night spots?
00:38:16 Well, Melorra, I'll be right back.
00:38:20 I'm gonna get a beer.
00:38:21 No, Enid, wait.
00:38:24 Hey, that's all right.
00:38:30 It has a large center hole and a hair crack.
00:38:33 But the crack is so tight, it's completely inaudible.
00:38:36 But a tight hair crack is just that--a crack.
00:38:40 I don't collect cracked records.
00:38:42 I only pay premium on mint records.
00:38:46 Seymour, you know that. Please.
00:38:53 So, what was all that about enlarged holes and tight cracks?
00:38:58 I didn't think you would have any interest...
00:39:01 in this get-together.
00:39:02 If you would have told me you were coming...
00:39:03 I would have warned you it's not like a real party or anything.
00:39:06 You're right about that.
00:39:09 So, is this your record collection?
00:39:11 God, no. This is just junk I have for sale.
00:39:14 - The record room is off limits.
00:39:20 Here.
00:39:28 Are all these records?
00:39:29 I've got about 1,500 78s at this point.
00:39:33 I've tried to pare down my collection...
00:39:35 to just the essential.
00:39:41 Look at this room.
00:39:45 This is, like, my dream room.
00:39:49 Look at all this stuff.
00:39:55 You are, like, the luckiest guy in the world.
00:39:58 I would kill to have stuff like this.
00:40:00 Please. Go ahead and kill me.
00:40:02 Oh, come on. What are you talking about?
00:40:05 You think it's healthy to obsessively collect things?
00:40:08 You can't connect with other people...
00:40:10 so you fill your life with stuff.
00:40:12 I'm just like all the rest of these pathetic collector losers.
00:40:15 No, you're not. You're a cool guy, Seymour.
00:40:19 Then how come I haven't had a girlfriend in four years?
00:40:24 I can't even remember the last time a girl talked to me.
00:40:26 I'm talking to you.
00:40:27 You know, I bet there are tons of women...
00:40:29 who'd go out with you in a minute.
00:40:30 I know I could get you a date in, like, two seconds.
00:40:32 Good luck.
00:40:33 I mean it. You leave everything to me...
00:40:35 I'm going to be your own personal dating service.
00:40:38 Yeah, well, we should get back.
00:40:39 By the end of this summer...
00:40:40 you're going to be up to your neck in pussy.
00:40:42 Jesus.
00:40:44 What about her? Would you go out with her?
00:40:47 What kind of a question is that?
00:40:49 It's totally irrelevant, because a girl like that...
00:40:52 would never be caught dead with me.
00:40:53 Yeah, but put that aside for now.
00:40:55 Would you go out with her?
00:40:57 I really didn't get a good look at her.
00:40:58 Yes, you did. Whoa.
00:41:01 What about her? Are you into girls with big tits?
00:41:03 Jesus.
00:41:06 I mean, as long as she's not a complete imbecile...
00:41:09 and she's even remotely attractive...
00:41:12 Hey, look, there's Norman. Hi, Norman.
00:41:18 We need to find a place where you can go...
00:41:19 to meet women who share your interests.
00:41:22 Maybe I don't want to meet someone who shares my interests.
00:41:24 I hate my interests.
00:41:26 List your five main interests in order of importance.
00:41:30 I'd have to put traditional jazz, blues...
00:41:33 and then ragtime at the top of the list.
00:41:35 Right, so let's just say music.
00:41:37 That way, we only use up one.
00:41:39 All right.
00:41:41 Can we go in here for a second? Just for a second.
00:41:50 Just stopping by to say hi.
00:41:55 This is my friend Seymour.
00:42:01 OK. Well, we'll see you later, Josh.
00:42:04 Josh, what you goddamn doing?
00:42:05 Clean up that fucking mess! Jesus.
00:42:09 So, was that your boyfriend?
00:42:11 Josh? He's nobody's boyfriend.
00:42:13 He's just this guy that Becky and I like to torture.
00:42:16 But do you... Are you going out--
00:42:18 Oh, my God. We have to go in here. Come on.
00:42:21 Yeah, sure. Very funny.
00:42:23 Come on. Please?
00:42:24 Becky and I have been dying to go in here...
00:42:26 but we can never find any boys to take us.
00:42:28 - I would really rather not.
00:42:30 Just for a minute. It'll be a riot.
00:42:32 - I don't think so.
00:42:48 Oh, my God. Look at all these creeps.
00:42:53 OK. Can we go?
00:42:57 This place is a total riot.
00:43:06 What are you doing?
00:43:09 Oh, my God.
00:43:11 Who would actually have sex with this thing?
00:43:17 "Corporate Slut." Sophisticated.
00:43:21 Come on. Can we go?
00:43:24 Seymour, you have to lend me the money to buy this.
00:43:30 I don't really have a lot of money on me right now.
00:43:31 Come on, Seymour. Please?
00:43:33 I don't want this showing up on a credit card statement.
00:43:35 I'll get put on some weird mailing list.
00:43:36 - It's not that much.
00:43:39 Gimme all your money, bitch.
00:43:42 Where did you get that?
00:43:43 You'll never believe it. Guess.
00:43:46 Where?
00:43:48 Anthony's.
00:43:50 No way. When?
00:43:51 Just now. I went with Seymour.
00:43:53 You cunt.
00:43:55 Excuse me.
00:43:57 I can't read the trivia question.
00:44:03 "Where on the human body is the Douglas pouch located?"
00:44:10 Oh, God.
00:44:18 Slightly below the uterus on a female.
00:44:30 Wow.
00:44:31 He does that every single day.
00:44:34 I'll have a decaf-mocha to go.
00:44:37 One decaf-mocha.
00:44:39 Can I get you--
00:44:40 No, I do not want a biscotti with that.
00:44:45 God. How can you stand all these assholes?
00:44:49 Some people are OK...
00:44:50 but mostly I just feel like poisoning everybody.
00:44:53 At least the wheelchair guy is entertaining.
00:44:55 He doesn't even need that wheelchair.
00:44:57 He's just totally lazy.
00:44:58 That rules.
00:45:00 No, it really doesn't. You'll see.
00:45:04 You'll get totally sick of all the creeps...
00:45:05 and losers and weirdos.
00:45:07 But those are our people.
00:45:09 Yeah, well.
00:45:14 So, when are you going to get a job?
00:45:18 I'm working on it. Got a few leads.
00:45:21 Don't worry about it. I'll get a job next week.
00:45:24 God, I can't believe you went to Anthony's without me.
00:45:31 Oh, sweetie.
00:45:33 Honey, would you come in here for a minute?
00:45:38 Sweetie, you remember Maxine?
00:45:48 I'm going to go to bed. I'm really tired.
00:45:50 Honey, I made spaghetti. You don't want some?
00:45:53 No. I have to get up early for class tomorrow.
00:45:55 It's really quite something to see you all grown up, Enid.
00:46:02 I'd love to know what you're doing now.
00:46:03 I can't help but feel...
00:46:05 I had some small part in how you turned out.
00:46:10 What are you studying?
00:46:12 You were always such a smart little girl.
00:46:16 I'm taking a remedial high school art class...
00:46:19 for fuck-ups and retards.
00:46:23 Who is this, Enid?
00:46:26 It's supposed to be Don Knotts.
00:46:28 And what was your reason for choosing him as your subject?
00:46:34 I don't know. I just like Don Knotts.
00:46:38 Interesting.
00:46:39 What do we have here, Margaret?
00:46:42 It's a tampon in a teacup.
00:46:45 I can see that.
00:46:47 What can you tell us about it?
00:46:48 First of all, what kind of sculpture is this?
00:46:51 It's a found object.
00:46:53 That's where an artist takes an ordinary object...
00:46:55 and places it in an artistic context...
00:46:57 and thus, it becomes art.
00:46:58 But what can you tell us about it...
00:47:00 in regard to your artistic intent?
00:47:03 Well, I guess I see the teacup as a symbol for womanhood.
00:47:09 Such as tea parties in the olden days...
00:47:11 but instead of tea...
00:47:13 I was trying to kind of confront people with this--
00:47:16 This shocking image of repressed femininity.
00:47:19 Right. Exactly.
00:47:21 Well, I think it's a really wonderful piece...
00:47:24 and it illustrates perfectly what I was saying...
00:47:27 about not being afraid to use controversial imagery.
00:47:33 Oh. Well, this looks like the work of Phillip.
00:47:43 Hey, you see that guy over there?
00:47:45 - Which one?
00:47:51 He gives me, like, a total boner.
00:47:53 He's, like, the biggest idiot of all time.
00:47:56 You guys up for some reggae tonight?
00:47:59 OK, you're right.
00:48:03 Sometimes I think I'm going crazy...
00:48:04 from sexual frustration.
00:48:06 And you haven't heard of the miracle of masturbation?
00:48:14 Heads up.
00:48:19 My band's playing here on Friday night...
00:48:20 and there's going to be a bunch of cool bands playing...
00:48:24 and you don't have to pay...
00:48:26 if you show them this flier at the door.
00:48:29 You should come check it out.
00:48:34 Which band is yours?
00:48:35 It's Alien Autopsy.
00:48:37 Oh. Bitchin'.
00:48:39 Yeah, well...
00:48:42 maybe I'll see you there.
00:48:43 Yeah. Thanks.
00:48:48 God, what a dork.
00:48:49 You're just jealous.
00:48:51 Trust me, at this point, I'm past the fact...
00:48:53 that every single guy likes you better than me.
00:48:55 Oh, face it. You just hate every single guy...
00:48:57 on the face of the earth.
00:48:58 That's not true.
00:49:00 I just hate all these extroverted, obnoxious...
00:49:03 pseudo-bohemian losers.
00:49:06 The Donnie G show. Donnie G!
00:49:09 Nothing but classic rock...
00:49:11 coming at you this beautiful evening.
00:49:12 You're listening to KFTO--
00:49:14 God, that asshole's voice is so hateful.
00:49:17 No wonder I never listen to the radio.
00:49:19 Relax, Seymour. Relax.
00:49:21 He's just so shrill and loud and piercing.
00:49:24 I feel like I'm being jabbed in the face.
00:49:27 "KTO coming at you on this beautiful evening."
00:49:30 - So...
00:49:35 Why'd you bring the record?
00:49:36 I brought it so he can autograph it.
00:49:38 He's going to be amazed to see it.
00:49:40 It's one of only two known copies.
00:49:43 I can't believe they have him as the opening act...
00:49:44 and not the headliner.
00:49:46 It's--What an insult.
00:49:48 There's gonna be lots of girls to pick from at this bar.
00:49:52 I'm not holding my breath in that department.
00:50:06 What, are we in slow motion here?
00:50:08 What are you, hypnotized?
00:50:10 Have some more kids, why don't you?
00:50:11 Jesus Christ, move it!
00:50:13 Seymour! God.
00:50:19 I can't believe these people.
00:50:21 They could at least turn off their stupid sports game...
00:50:23 until he's done playing.
00:50:35 Thank you.
00:50:37 Don't go away.
00:50:39 We got Blues Hammer coming up in just a minute.
00:50:41 Hey, check that out.
00:50:46 She's nice, but, you know...
00:50:49 Offer her a seat.
00:50:51 - I'll do it.
00:50:52 Wait. Let me think of something to say to her first.
00:51:16 That was great music, huh?
00:51:17 Yeah, I just love blues.
00:51:19 Actually, technically, what he was mostly playing...
00:51:25 would more accurately be classified in the ragtime idiom.
00:51:28 Although, of course, not in the strictest sense...
00:51:31 of the classical ragtime piano music...
00:51:36 like that of Scott Joplin or Joseph Lamb.
00:51:40 Authentic blues has a more conventional...
00:51:43 twelve-bar structure in its stanzas.
00:51:46 Oh. If you like authentic blues...
00:51:49 you really gotta check out Blues Hammer.
00:51:51 They're so great.
00:52:43 All right, people, are you ready to boogie?
00:52:47 'Cause we gonna play some authentic...
00:52:48 way-down-in-the-delta blues.
00:52:51 So get ready to rock your world!
00:53:01 Well, I been plowin' behind the mule, son
00:53:04 Picking cotton all day long
00:53:09 Yes, I been plowin'
00:53:12 Picking cotton all day long
00:53:17 I said, Lordy, baby
00:53:20 But my woman she be gone
00:53:29 Now I remember why I haven't been anywhere in months.
00:53:32 It's simple for everybody else.
00:53:33 You give them a Big Mac and a pair of Nikes...
00:53:36 and they're happy.
00:53:37 I can't relate to ninety-nine percent of humanity.
00:53:40 I can't relate to humanity, either...
00:53:42 but I don't think it's completely hopeless.
00:53:44 Well, it's not completely hopeless for you.
00:53:47 I'm not even in the same universe...
00:53:49 as those creatures back there.
00:53:50 We just need to find you a place...
00:53:52 where you can meet someone...
00:53:53 who isn't a complete idiot, that's all.
00:53:57 Why do you care so much if I get a date or not?
00:53:59 I don't know.
00:54:01 I guess I just can't stand the idea of a world...
00:54:03 where a guy like you can't get a date.
00:54:12 What is this, Seymour?
00:54:15 Oh, that.
00:54:17 I borrowed that from work about fifteen years ago.
00:54:19 I guess it's mine now.
00:54:21 What are you, a Klansman or something?
00:54:24 Yeah, I'm a Klansman.
00:54:28 You know the Cook's Chicken franchise?
00:54:31 "Four-piece Cook's special...
00:54:32 "deep-fried with side and slaw. It's outrageous!"
00:54:36 Yeah, well, Cook's is just a made up name.
00:54:41 Back in 1922...
00:54:42 they were originally called Coon Chicken lnn.
00:54:44 That's an early painting of their first logo.
00:55:09 How come everybody doesn't know this?
00:55:12 It's ancient history.
00:55:13 Same reason nobody knows about this Lionel Belasco record.
00:55:16 I was more interested in the whole Cook's phenomenon...
00:55:20 when I was about your age.
00:55:22 Sort of lost interest when I started working for them.
00:55:26 You work for Cook's Chicken?
00:55:29 For nineteen years.
00:55:30 Were you a fry cook or something?
00:55:33 Nothing so glamorous, actually.
00:55:36 I'm an assistant manager at their corporate headquarters.
00:55:39 Jesus. I'd go nuts if I had to work in an office all day.
00:55:46 So I don't really get it.
00:55:47 Are you saying that things were better back then...
00:55:49 even though there was stuff like this?
00:55:50 I suppose things are better now, but...
00:55:54 I don't know, it's complicated.
00:55:55 People still hate each other...
00:55:56 but they just know how to hide it better.
00:56:00 Can I borrow this?
00:56:03 For what?
00:56:05 I promise I'll take good care of it.
00:56:06 They're very sensitive about that kind of stuff at work.
00:56:10 Don't you trust me, Seymour?
00:56:13 Let's address discussion to this piece.
00:56:19 I don't like it.
00:56:20 Can you tell us why?
00:56:22 I don't know.
00:56:25 I think it's totally weird.
00:56:27 It's totally offensive.
00:56:29 Yeah. I agree.
00:56:30 It's not right.
00:56:31 Well, these are all valid comments, but...
00:56:34 I think we should see if the artist...
00:56:36 has anything to bring to this.
00:56:39 Well, I found this when I was doing some research...
00:56:42 and I discovered that Cook's Chicken...
00:56:45 used to be called Coon Chicken.
00:56:48 So I decided to do my project based on this discovery...
00:56:51 as kind of a comment on racism...
00:56:55 and how it's whitewashed over in our culture.
00:56:58 Did you actually do this painting?
00:57:00 Well, no, it's more of a found art object.
00:57:05 How do you think this addresses the subject of racism?
00:57:08 It's complicated.
00:57:10 I guess I'm trying to show...
00:57:12 how racism used to be more out in the open...
00:57:14 and now it's hidden or something.
00:57:17 And how do you think an image like this...
00:57:19 helps us to see that?
00:57:21 I'm not sure.
00:57:26 I guess because when we see something like this...
00:57:30 it seems really shocking.
00:57:31 And we have to wonder why it's so shocking.
00:57:40 I don't really know what to say, Enid.
00:57:46 I think it's a remarkable achievement.
00:57:52 I'm going to let you handle the 4:30 crowd by yourself.
00:57:54 That way, I can evaluate your performance while it's slow.
00:57:57 Then we'll ease you into the big crowds, all right?
00:57:59 - You can count on me, sir.
00:58:04 Do you serve beer or any alcohol?
00:58:09 I wish.
00:58:10 Actually, you wish.
00:58:12 After about five minutes of this movie...
00:58:14 you're going to wish you had ten beers.
00:58:23 What are you doing? You don't ever criticize the feature.
00:58:26 Why? What's the difference?
00:58:28 I mean, we already got his money.
00:58:30 Look, that's the policy, OK?
00:58:32 If you want to make up your own rules...
00:58:34 open up your own theater.
00:58:39 And let me have lots of butter on it.
00:58:53 Here you go.
00:58:54 Smothered in delicious yellow chemical sludge.
00:59:01 What the hell is wrong with you?
00:59:04 What?
00:59:05 I was just joking around with the customers.
00:59:07 - It's my shtick.
00:59:10 And why aren't you pushing the larger sizes?
00:59:12 Didn't you get training about up-sizing?
00:59:14 Yeah, but I feel really weird.
00:59:17 It's pretty sleazy.
00:59:20 It's not optional!
00:59:26 Jesus.
00:59:28 Hi. Can I get a medium 7 Up?
00:59:32 Medium?
00:59:34 Why, sir, do you not know that for a mere 25 cents more...
00:59:38 you could purchase a large beverage?
00:59:40 And you know, I'm only telling you this...
00:59:43 because we're such good friends.
00:59:44 Medium is really only for suckers...
00:59:46 who don't know the concept of value.
00:59:48 What are you talking about?
00:59:51 What kind of loser gets fired after one day?
00:59:53 Look, I told you. The manager was a total asshole.
00:59:56 I'll get another job.
00:59:58 Besides, I have some ideas to make money in the meantime.
01:00:05 I can't believe you're selling some of this stuff.
01:00:08 Fuck it. Everything must go.
01:00:16 I remember this hat.
01:00:18 This was during your little old lady phase.
01:00:22 How much is this?
01:00:27 That's not for sale.
01:00:30 Wait a minute. It says five dollars.
01:00:32 I know, it's...
01:00:35 That's a mistake.
01:00:36 I'm not selling it.
01:00:45 What was that all about?
01:00:46 I thought "everything must go."
01:00:48 Yeah, right.
01:00:49 Like I'd let some asshole with a soul patch own Goofy Gus.
01:00:55 How much for this dress?
01:00:56 God, I can't believe you're selling that.
01:01:03 That's five hundred dollars.
01:01:05 - What?
01:01:07 You're crazy. It should be, like, two dollars.
01:01:10 I was wearing that when I lost my virginity.
01:01:13 Why do I care about that?
01:01:15 Why do you want it?
01:01:17 It would look stupid on you anyway.
01:01:18 God! Fuck you!
01:01:24 So, now are you going to get a regular job?
01:01:31 Do you want to do something tonight?
01:01:32 I can't. It's Seymour's birthday tonight.
01:01:34 Oh, shit. What time is it?
01:01:36 I'm supposed to go to the store. I was going to make him a cake.
01:01:39 Do you still want to go shopping tomorrow?
01:01:41 Yeah, I guess. Call me.
01:01:51 Since when can you make a cake?
01:02:03 OK, you can open your eyes now.
01:02:07 Oh, hey. Thanks, Enid. I really appreciate it.
01:02:11 No, blow it out, doofus.
01:02:19 - Are you OK?
01:02:22 Oh, it's just my stupid back. I'll be all right in a minute.
01:02:29 What is that?
01:02:32 It's...
01:02:34 It's just this elastic thing I have to wear sometimes...
01:02:36 for lumbar support.
01:02:38 What, like a girdle?
01:02:42 Maybe now you can understand why I can't get a date.
01:02:45 Well, at least you're not the only one.
01:02:47 I think only stupid people have good relationships.
01:02:51 That's the spirit.
01:02:53 Actually, there is this one guy I have a crush on right now...
01:02:56 but... totally fucked-up situation.
01:03:01 Oh, yeah?
01:03:03 Yeah. You met him, remember? That guy Josh.
01:03:05 But I can't do anything about it...
01:03:06 because Becky would totally freak out.
01:03:10 Why?
01:03:11 Just forget it. It's complicated.
01:03:18 Aren't you going to get that?
01:03:20 Let the machine get it.
01:03:21 I have no desire to talk to anyone who might be calling me.
01:03:28 I knew it. It's my mother.
01:03:31 Hi, I'm calling for...
01:03:34 You placed an ad in "The Weekly" over a month ago, and...
01:03:37 well, I'm the blonde in the yellow dress.
01:03:40 At least, I think I am.
01:03:42 I saw the ad when you first placed it...
01:03:44 but I was in this relationship at the time...
01:03:45 so I cut the ad out, and...
01:03:47 and I'm not in a relationship anymore.
01:03:50 God, this is really confusing.
01:03:52 Don't!
01:03:53 Anyway, if you still want to talk to me...
01:03:54 I can be reached at 555-2673.
01:03:58 That's my work number...
01:04:00 and my name is Dana.
01:04:03 OK! Bye.
01:04:08 Wow.
01:04:11 What was all that about?
01:04:12 It's just somebody's idea of a joke.
01:04:15 That didn't sound like a joke to me.
01:04:18 What, did you place an ad in the personals or something?
01:04:22 Yeah, a long time ago.
01:04:25 She called before. It's just somebody trying to humiliate me.
01:04:29 I think you should call her back.
01:04:40 Oh, look. We have to get these.
01:04:47 You know, I can't afford stuff like this right now.
01:04:50 Look, I'm sick of waiting.
01:04:51 I mean, we have to get stuff if we're ever going to move.
01:04:56 Aren't these the greatest?
01:05:01 What? They're nice.
01:05:04 I can't imagine spending money on plastic cups.
01:05:07 You don't have to. I'll pay for everything now...
01:05:09 and you can pay me back when you finally get a job.
01:05:11 You're insane.
01:05:13 So, are we still going to that thing tonight?
01:05:15 What thing?
01:05:17 You know, that guy's band is playing tonight.
01:05:20 Alien Autopsy.
01:05:21 Actually, Seymour's big date is tonight.
01:05:24 And I kind of want to be around when he calls...
01:05:26 you know, so I can hear how badly it went.
01:05:27 God, I'm so sick of Seymour.
01:05:34 That was great.
01:05:37 Jeez, thanks a lot for cooking.
01:05:39 I love to cook.
01:05:41 Most women wouldn't invite a guy over on the first date, but...
01:05:46 I think you should trust your instincts.
01:05:48 When I talked to you on the phone...
01:05:49 you just seemed so... I don't know, so harmless.
01:05:53 Thanks.
01:06:15 I love this song.
01:06:20 Isn't it great?
01:06:23 Doesn't it make you want to dance?
01:06:25 - Come on.
01:06:27 Come on, Seymour. Don't be silly.
01:06:30 Anybody can dance.
01:06:31 Here, follow me. Watch my feet.
01:06:34 No, really.
01:06:36 Come on, Seymour.
01:06:37 Just feel the music.
01:06:39 Loosen up. It's all in your head.
01:06:42 Here, let's put down your bowl of ice cream.
01:06:45 Wow, it's 9:00 already.
01:06:48 If we're gonna make that movie, don't you think we should go?
01:06:50 OK. Party pooper.
01:07:07 I'm so excited to see this film.
01:07:09 Dustoff Varnya is such a brilliant director.
01:07:12 Did you see his last film...
01:07:13 "The Flower That Drank The Moon"?
01:07:15 It was glorious.
01:07:18 Must have missed that one.
01:07:20 Then again, what do I know? I like Laurel and Hardy movies.
01:07:22 Really? I never really cared for those.
01:07:26 Why does the fat one always have to be so mean to the skinny one?
01:07:46 - Hello?
01:07:49 - Oh, hi.
01:07:52 Actually, it's still kind of happening.
01:07:54 She's over here right now. I think it's going pretty well.
01:07:58 - What? You're joking.
01:08:01 It's not really the best time to talk, OK?
01:08:03 What, are you going to have sex with her on your first date?
01:08:06 Jesus! I'll talk to you later, OK? Bye.
01:08:10 That was my mother.
01:08:34 Do you still want to do something tonight?
01:08:37 What happened to Seymour?
01:08:38 I can't believe this. He actually scored.
01:08:41 God, how repulsive.
01:08:44 So, should I come over?
01:08:45 Actually, I was just about to go out with some friends.
01:08:50 What are you talking about? Who?
01:08:53 Just some people from work.
01:08:57 I don't believe you.
01:08:59 You said you were busy, so...
01:09:02 Look, I better get going.
01:09:05 I guess I'll call you tomorrow.
01:09:48 Boo!
01:09:50 Please.
01:09:53 Boy.
01:09:55 So, where have you been?
01:09:58 I've been looking all over for you.
01:09:59 I've been wandering the streets day and night...
01:10:01 trying to find you.
01:10:03 Really?
01:10:04 No. Joe told me where you are.
01:10:09 But how come you never call me anymore?
01:10:12 I'm sorry. I've just been really busy.
01:10:18 So, how are things going with...
01:10:22 What's her name? Dana?
01:10:25 Pretty well. Surprisingly, you know.
01:10:28 It's good.
01:10:33 What do you do together? Is she into your old records and stuff?
01:10:37 Yeah, sort of. I mean, she doesn't dislike that stuff.
01:10:41 Anyway, she's trying.
01:10:42 Actually, we're supposed to go antique shopping...
01:10:45 for her apartment this afternoon.
01:10:47 Sounds good.
01:10:50 So, we should get together.
01:10:52 I'll definitely give you a call this week or something.
01:10:57 Are you trying to get rid of me?
01:10:59 No, no, no. It's just that I...
01:11:02 I should be going in a few minutes, and...
01:11:07 Aren't you even going to ask how I'm doing?
01:11:12 Sorry.
01:11:13 So, how are you?
01:11:18 I don't know. Good, I guess.
01:11:23 Oh, hello. Guess I'm a little early.
01:11:30 - This is Enid.
01:11:34 It's great to finally meet you.
01:11:37 So, how do you two know each other?
01:11:41 I'm kind of surprised he hasn't mentioned me.
01:11:43 - We're old friends.
01:11:45 Yeah. Very close.
01:11:47 In fact, I was standing right next to him...
01:11:50 the first day you called.
01:11:52 You know, if it wasn't for me...
01:11:53 he would have never called you back.
01:11:56 - Is that right?
01:11:58 Well, I've really got to get going...
01:12:00 but I'll stop by and see you sometime, Seymour.
01:12:05 It really was great to meet you.
01:12:11 Now remember, the art show is this Saturday...
01:12:13 7:30 p.m., sharp.
01:12:18 Oh, and Justin.
01:12:22 I'm sorry.
01:12:26 I'm gonna really miss all of you people.
01:12:28 I hope that each of you feels as if you'll be...
01:12:31 taking away something from this experience.
01:12:37 Thanks. So long, everyone.
01:12:43 Enid, can I speak to you for a moment?
01:12:46 - Uh-oh.
01:12:48 I got a call from a close friend of mine...
01:12:50 at the Academy of Art and Design...
01:12:52 and she tells me I'm allowed to place one student...
01:12:55 from your graduating class for a full one-year scholarship...
01:12:59 and I took the liberty of submitting your name.
01:13:02 As far as I know it includes housing...
01:13:03 and meals and everything. It's really quite an offer.
01:13:07 Let me know as soon as you can, Enid.
01:13:11 This could be a really great thing for you.
01:13:20 Pumpkin? Honey?
01:13:23 I'm coming in.
01:13:26 Well, I have some good news.
01:13:28 What is it now?
01:13:29 Are you still looking for a job?
01:13:31 I guess.
01:13:32 Maxine thinks she can get you a job at Computer Station.
01:13:35 Normally, you have to have a lot of references....
01:13:39 and at least two years of experience...
01:13:41 but she thinks she can convince them.
01:13:44 Tell her to forget it. I don't need her help.
01:13:49 OK, that's...
01:13:52 You know, if that's...
01:13:55 If--Mm-hmm.
01:14:13 Awful! Just awful!
01:14:15 I will take care of it, I promise you.
01:14:16 I will handle it. Thank you.
01:14:19 Excuse me.
01:14:22 I'm sorry, I need to speak with her for a second.
01:14:25 - Well, enjoy the show.
01:14:26 Yes, what is it, Phyllis?
01:14:28 I am sorry...
01:14:29 but you are simply going to have to remove that painting.
01:14:31 Several of the parents have complained about it already.
01:14:33 Well, I will do no such thing.
01:14:35 Then I'm going to go over there and take it down myself.
01:14:38 I think we should give the artist a chance...
01:14:40 to talk with the parents about her intentions with this piece.
01:14:43 We should be promoting discussion as a solution...
01:14:46 instead of censorship.
01:14:47 - Censorship?
01:14:49 Oh, that is such a big word for you, Roberta.
01:14:52 Excuse me.
01:14:54 - Do not touch that--
01:14:56 Thank you, everyone, for your patience.
01:15:00 Margaret, have you seen Enid?
01:15:03 - I don't think she's even here.
01:15:07 - All right. There we go.
01:15:21 So--Excuse me.
01:15:24 So there's this stupid art show I'm going to tonight...
01:15:26 and I want you to be my date.
01:15:27 There's something I want to show you.
01:15:29 Yeah, I... I don't think I should.
01:15:31 Of course you should.
01:15:33 I'm already a million hours late. Come on.
01:15:35 I better not.
01:15:38 OK, well, forget the art show. Let's do something else, then.
01:15:41 I really wish I could, Enid, but...
01:15:45 Dana just got out of a really bad relationship...
01:15:49 and I don't want her to have the wrong idea, you know?
01:15:51 Hey, what's happening?
01:15:56 Where'd you get those pants?
01:16:01 They were a present from Dana.
01:16:02 You like them? They a good fit?
01:16:07 Yeah, whatever. I mean, what do I know about clothes?
01:16:09 It's nice to have somebody do all the work for me.
01:16:17 I'll just be in my room.
01:16:21 What's her deal, anyway?
01:16:22 Did she actually tell you that you can't see me anymore?
01:16:25 No. No, I mean...
01:16:29 Not exactly. She just...
01:16:34 She just doesn't understand how I would know someone like you.
01:16:37 What does that mean, "someone like me"?
01:16:40 Just someone so young.
01:16:48 Don't worry. I won't bother you anymore.
01:17:43 Do you remember me?
01:17:46 Sure. Sure.
01:17:54 You're, like, the only person in this world I can count on...
01:17:58 because, no matter what, I know you'll always be here.
01:18:05 Well, that's what you think.
01:18:10 I'm leaving town.
01:18:17 Where are we? This is such a weird neighborhood.
01:18:19 This is a totally normal, average neighborhood.
01:18:22 3128.
01:18:25 - That must be it.
01:18:28 What? What's wrong with it? It looks totally normal.
01:18:31 What? I said great.
01:18:33 Yeah, I can tell you really love it.
01:18:34 What am I supposed to say?
01:18:36 "Gee, I can't wait to live in some depressing shit-hole...
01:18:38 "out in the middle of nowhere"?
01:18:39 You know, you hate every single place that we look at.
01:18:42 Why don't you just tell me you don't want to live with me?
01:18:48 Because you'll totally freak out and act like a psycho about it.
01:18:52 What?
01:18:54 You're the psycho.
01:18:55 You've totally ignored me ever since high school ended.
01:18:58 You're still living out some stupid seventh-grade fantasy!
01:19:02 "Your own apartment."
01:19:03 Fuck you.
01:19:05 Have fun living with your dad for the rest of your life.
01:19:13 God. Fuck you, too.
01:19:19 Pumpkin?
01:19:21 Pumpkin?
01:19:26 Honey?
01:19:27 What's wrong?
01:19:33 Nothing.
01:19:34 Because, honey, if something's wrong...
01:19:35 I'd love it if we could talk about it.
01:19:39 It's nothing. It's just some hormonal thing.
01:19:42 Don't worry about it.
01:19:43 OK, because I have some very, very important news...
01:19:47 to talk about...
01:19:49 and if you're not feeling well, we can do this some other time.
01:19:55 What?
01:19:58 Well, Maxine and I have been seeing a lot of each other.
01:20:02 And we were thinking it might be really best...
01:20:04 for all of us if at the end of the summer...
01:20:07 she came here to live with us.
01:20:09 We could really just see how we got along together...
01:20:12 and see if this is--
01:20:27 Is this your first death mask?
01:20:30 All artists have to suffer.
01:20:34 Just a minute.
01:20:36 I brought the application for the art academy.
01:20:41 I just hope it's not too late.
01:20:44 I am so sorry about what happened, Enid.
01:20:47 What do you mean?
01:20:49 Well, the whole business with the art show...
01:20:51 and the newspaper-- it's just absolutely...
01:20:55 They're forcing me to give you...
01:20:57 a non-passing grade in the class.
01:21:01 Can't I still get a scholarship to the art academy?
01:21:04 - Well, I'm sorry, Enid--
01:21:06 - I can't breath under this mask.
01:21:09 That's fine. Just breathe. Don't worry about it.
01:21:30 Hey, what are you doing here?
01:21:33 I needed to see you.
01:21:35 What's up?
01:21:37 Can you at least let me in?
01:21:39 Yeah, sure. Come on in.
01:21:43 Look, I just need someone to be nice to me for five minutes...
01:21:45 and then I swear I'll leave you alone, OK?
01:21:49 What's the matter?
01:21:51 Do you have anything to drink?
01:21:53 There might be some root beer.
01:21:57 - What's this?
01:21:59 We're supposed to be saving it for our two-month anniversary.
01:22:02 You better not--
01:22:10 I mean, you like me, right, Seymour?
01:22:14 We're good friends, right?
01:22:16 Yeah, sure. Of course.
01:22:30 What is this?
01:22:32 Dana got it when we went shopping for antiques.
01:22:37 She said it didn't go with her stuff...
01:22:39 so she gave it to me.
01:22:41 Said it would go better with my old-time thingamajigs.
01:22:48 Jesus, how can you stand her?
01:22:53 How come all that time I was trying to get you a date...
01:22:55 you never asked me out?
01:22:59 You're a beautiful young girl.
01:23:01 I couldn't imagine you'd have any interest in me...
01:23:03 except as an amusingly cranky eccentric curiosity.
01:23:06 At least you're not like every other stupid guy in the world.
01:23:09 All they care about is guitars or sports.
01:23:12 I hate sports.
01:23:20 Maybe I should just move in with you.
01:23:23 I could do the cooking and dust your old records...
01:23:26 until I get a job.
01:23:33 You know what my number one fantasy used to be?
01:23:37 What?
01:23:39 I used to think about one day...
01:23:42 just not telling anyone and going off to some random place.
01:23:47 And I'd just disappear...
01:23:52 and they'd never see me again.
01:23:55 Do you ever think about stuff like that?
01:23:58 I guess I probably did when I was your age.
01:24:03 You know what we should do?
01:24:05 We should just get in your car right now and just drive off.
01:24:09 Just find some totally new place...
01:24:11 and start a whole new life.
01:24:12 Fuck everybody.
01:24:16 I'm not in any good condition to drive.
01:24:20 I'm serious.
01:24:22 I'm just so sick of everybody.
01:24:24 Why can't I just do what I want?
01:24:27 What do you want?
01:24:32 What do you want?
01:24:37 Don't you like me?
01:24:56 Boy, I never expected anything like this to happen.
01:25:02 Yeah, well, me, neither.
01:25:05 You must know I always...
01:25:10 Did you mean all that stuff about moving in with me?
01:25:17 I was just thinking out loud.
01:25:21 I mean, you've got this thing with Dana, and...
01:25:26 I'm not gonna let you fuck that up.
01:25:27 Yeah, but I don't know, I just...
01:25:34 I really need to get some sleep.
01:25:40 Good night.
01:26:13 Right. One second.
01:26:17 - Sorry. Go ahead.
01:26:20 Hi. Yeah. No, it's excluded.
01:26:23 They've already paid the earnest money.
01:26:25 Well, let's see if they bring it up...
01:26:27 if they notice it on the final walkthrough.
01:26:30 Right.
01:26:32 Great. Sounds good.
01:26:36 - Yes!
01:26:38 - Great job.
01:26:39 I'm proud of you. I'll catch you guys later.
01:26:42 I'm going to start the paperwork.
01:26:48 - Congratulations.
01:26:54 So, what brings you down here?
01:27:00 I just really feel like I need to say something to you.
01:27:08 I've never said this to anyone before.
01:27:10 Believe me, I've...
01:27:13 I've stayed in horrible relationships for years...
01:27:16 just so I wouldn't have to do this.
01:27:18 What are you trying to say?
01:27:24 Maybe it's not such a good idea that we keep going out.
01:27:37 It's Enid. Leave a message.
01:27:41 Seymour, here.
01:27:42 I really want to talk to you.
01:27:46 I've been thinking about what you said...
01:27:48 about moving in here, and...
01:27:50 Yeah, so just...
01:27:55 give me a call when you get a chance.
01:27:57 OK. Thanks. Bye.
01:28:08 Look, I'm really sorry about the other day.
01:28:10 I don't know what's wrong with me.
01:28:12 I really do want to move in with you.
01:28:14 Look, I don't know.
01:28:18 I was thinking maybe I should just live alone, you know?
01:28:21 I've decided to rent that place that we looked at...
01:28:25 and I start moving in next week.
01:28:28 Please let me come with you. Please.
01:28:32 Look, I don't know. I don't think it's such a good idea.
01:28:35 Of course it's a good idea. It's our plan.
01:28:37 Yeah, but how are you going to pay rent and everything?
01:28:39 You don't even have a job.
01:28:41 I'll get a job tomorrow. I promise.
01:28:44 Maxine said she could get me a job at Computer Station.
01:28:47 Please, Becca.
01:28:52 Tonight, I have a very special partner--
01:28:54 one who is a performance artist...
01:28:58 in sign language for the deaf.
01:29:00 Please welcome to the stage...
01:29:06 Well, here's where the fun never stops.
01:29:07 She could at least have the decency to call me back.
01:29:10 Wasted time, trying to logically figure out the female brain.
01:29:14 That's for sure.
01:29:16 Maybe she got another boyfriend.
01:29:21 Yeah, well, thanks for cheering me up.
01:29:36 Oh, God.
01:29:48 It's Enid. Leave a message.
01:29:51 Oh, come on.
01:29:56 Hey, look at it this way...
01:29:59 at least things can't get any worse.
01:30:08 Seymour! Just the man I want to see.
01:30:11 Step in here for a minute.
01:30:16 Have a seat.
01:30:20 What can you tell me about this, Seymour?
01:30:32 So, what do you think?
01:30:35 It's fine.
01:30:40 - Where's all your stuff?
01:30:46 That's all you're bringing?
01:30:49 No. I'm gonna pack up the rest tonight.
01:30:50 I'll bring it over sometime tomorrow.
01:30:52 What time?
01:30:54 I don't know. Noon?
01:30:57 All right, cool. Just make sure you're here by then...
01:31:00 because we got a lot of stuff to do.
01:31:02 Oh, wait.
01:31:04 I got to show you this. It's really cool.
01:31:11 Isn't it great?
01:31:45 A smile is something special
01:31:48 A ribbon is something rare
01:31:51 So I'll be special, and I'll be rare
01:31:53 With a smile and a ribbon in my hair
01:31:59 To be a girl they notice
01:32:01 Takes more than a fancy dress
01:32:04 So I'll be special, and I'll be rare
01:32:07 I'll be something beyond compare
01:32:10 I'll be noticed because I'll wear
01:32:12 A smile and a ribbon in my hair
01:32:47 What's wrong with you, retard? It's 3:30.
01:32:49 Oh, hi. Enid's stepmother told me that she'd be here.
01:32:54 She's not at home?
01:32:55 No, they told me that she'd be here.
01:32:57 Well, where the fuck is she?
01:32:59 She was supposed to be here three hours ago.
01:33:01 Do you mind if I wait? I really need to talk to her.
01:33:11 Are you sure she wasn't there?
01:33:12 I mean, maybe she was just hiding from you or something.
01:33:14 Why would she be hiding from me?
01:33:17 I don't know.
01:33:19 Where is she, then?
01:33:22 Maybe she's with Josh?
01:33:24 Josh? Why would she be with Josh?
01:33:27 I really don't know enough about it to...
01:33:32 But why did you say that she was hiding from me?
01:33:34 Did she say anything to you about me?
01:33:37 Yeah. She thinks you're a dork.
01:33:39 She said that?
01:33:42 What do you expect? I mean, considering how we met you...
01:33:47 What do you mean?
01:33:49 She didn't tell you about that?
01:33:53 What are you talking about?
01:33:55 On that pathetic fake blind date?
01:33:58 What fake blind date? What are you talking about?
01:34:05 Here.
01:34:11 Look.
01:34:41 Did you have a good laugh at my expense?
01:34:44 What do you mean?
01:34:45 Do you think that's funny?
01:34:49 Here, is that funny?
01:34:51 I'll show you something funny.
01:34:57 - Hey. Damn it. Come on.
01:35:05 Not so cool now, are you, good-looking boy?
01:35:09 - What's going on?
01:35:11 - Citizen's arrest.
01:35:12 Call the cops!
01:35:13 Get the hell out of my store!
01:35:14 All right. Hey, no need to get violent.
01:35:17 I'm outta here.
01:35:43 Are you OK?
01:35:52 You seem a little stoned. What are you on?
01:35:56 High on life.
01:35:58 Look, Seymour, I came by to tell you...
01:36:01 how really, really sorry I am about everything.
01:36:04 I know you probably totally hate me.
01:36:06 You don't have to say--
01:36:07 Please. Don't say anything.
01:36:10 I know I'm a total disappointment to everyone.
01:36:15 I just quit my job this morning...
01:36:17 and then I had a fight with Becky...
01:36:19 because I told her I wasn't going to move in with her...
01:36:21 and she really just wants to kill me.
01:36:25 And there is just no way to explain how I feel.
01:36:30 I don't...
01:36:33 I guess I'll just have to figure myself out.
01:36:37 Enid, I'm not mad at you.
01:36:39 I know I'm just a dork.
01:36:40 Seymour, you are not a dork.
01:36:44 Sure I am.
01:36:59 You are such a stupid idiot.
01:37:01 Did you even look through the rest of the book?
01:37:07 See?
01:37:19 You're like...my hero.
01:37:35 Thanks for waiting.
01:37:41 Is he going to be OK?
01:37:43 I think he'll be fine.
01:37:55 What are you going to do now?
01:38:00 I'm not sure.
01:38:02 I'd better get going. I'm going to be late for work.
01:38:09 Call me, OK?
01:40:17 I have to admit things are starting to look up for me...
01:40:20 since my life turned to shit.
01:40:23 Remember what I said when we first started?
01:40:25 This little break-up might be...
01:40:27 the very best thing that ever happened to you.
01:40:29 I think I'm ready to get back to my old life.
01:40:34 You think that's too soon?
01:40:38 Why don't we start with that next week?
01:40:42 Thank you.
01:40:43 Don't thank me.
01:40:44 You're doing all the work.
01:41:07 - Is he done?
01:41:09 Seymour, did you have a chance...
01:41:11 to think about what you might want for dinner...
01:41:12 while you were in here?
01:41:13 No, I haven't.
01:41:15 Maybe we could discuss it in the car.
01:41:18 Did you want mashed potatoes?
01:41:19 See you next week.
01:46:36 Not so funny now, tough guy, are you, huh?
01:46:50 Motherfuckers!
01:46:51 Fuck with me?
