Mr. Raditch:
Mr. Jeremiah
"clumsy" is not
one of the three c's.
Hey, stephanie,
joey d. Jeremiah.
"d" for "doctor."
At your service.
I give great operations.
No, thanks, joey.
You're missing
a real opportunity.
I've got a great
bedside manner.
Joey...
Hey, no problem.
I can take a hint.
Look, wheels...
I messed up
our last date.
Could we try again?
Want to see
a movie Friday?
Yeah, sure.
Great!
So, see you?
Yeah, see you.
Bye.
Bye.
All right!

What did steph want?
She asked me
to a movie.
Great, you two can neck.
I know you like her,
but she likes me.
She's yours,
no problem.
Wheels and steph
have a date.
She is the sexiest
chick in school.
What does she
see in wheels?
He's a sex machine.
That's a lie.
Voula.
Wheels and I
Are going to a movie.
Wow, the school president
discusses her love life
With me.
I must write
this down
Before I forget the details.
Are you still mad?
I've apologized for
not thanking you
During the election.
And for not
giving my speech
At the dance.
So, what happened?
Did he say yes?
Uh-huh,
Friday night.
All right!
I thought he'd never forgive
my messing up
At the dance.
This time, no mistakes.
He's so sexy.
The poor boy
doesn't stand
A chance.
Yick, just tell me what it is.
Wait and see, arthur.
Swamp sex
robots!
This is p*rn!
I borrowed it
from my brother.
He's away till Monday.
We can't watch it at my place.
My grandmother's home.
What about your dad's?
I'm staying at my mom's.
Doesn't she
have a vcr?
It might be broken.
Find out.
Don't you want
to see this?
Yeah!
I hear it's so hot
It will fry
your eyeballs.
Wow.
I'll dress so sexy
His tongue
will hang out.
What about your mom?
What do you mean?
She doesn't know
how you dress
At school.
Will she let you
dress up for wheels?
A thousand milligrams
of vitamin c is enough.
Hi, mom.
Hi, steph.
It's my daughter.
I had better go.
Yes, I love
italian.
Thank you, michael.
That sounds
lovely.
7:00
on Friday.
See you then. Bye.
Who's michael?
Your father and I have been
divorced for several years...
You've got a date?
That's fabulous!
You don't mind?
No.
It's time you starting dating.
What is
he like?
He seems nice.
He comes in quite often.
Always has a cold
Poor thing.
Is he cute?
Well... A bit
In his own way.
I'm relieved you feel this way.
I hope your brother
will understand, too.
So, you're
going out Friday?
That's right.
That won't ruin
your plans
Will it?
Oh, no.
Really, it's fine.
It's perfect.
Yick:
How come you never told me
Stephanie kaye's
your sister?
I guess I never
got around to it.
Hey, there she is.
Arthur:
Hi, steph.
Buzz off, arthur.
You can't pretend I'm not
Your brother
forever.
It's nothing personal.
I've got my image.
I don't talk
to grade sevens.
Grade sevens are people, too,
you know.
It's debatable.
Steph, are
you and mom
Going out anytime this weekend?
We're going out Friday night.
Mom's got a date.
A date?
That's great!
Yeah.
All right!
Swamp sex robots,
here we come.
Whoo!
Yeah!
Yeah!
It's so
romantic--
You and wheels,
alone at a movie.
He's so cute.
What if he
tries something?
Erika!
Erika:
Well, what
if he does?
I don't know.
Maybe I'll let him.
Let him try something?
If I felt like it.
I'd do anything,
if I felt like it.
Anything?
I've dated before.
I can handle it.
( whispering ):
Handle it?!
They're six points down.
Less than a minute to go...
Wheels, you're
going to make it!
With stephanie h. Kaye--
"h" for "hot."
What?!
What?
We heard her.
She says she can
handle it.
Really?
Really?
Hope you're up for it.
If she wants it,
she'll get it.
Both:
All the way with stephanie kaye!
All right, wheels!
Lucky dude!
She's foxy.
All right!
Mr. Raditch:
The biggest problem
You'll have as young writers
Is your desire to use
"no" and "not"
In the same sentence.
Doing this creates
What we call a double negative.
For example...
Psst!
"I can't find no food
in the fridge."
"perry couldn't scarcely
tell the difference."
These are examples
of double negatives.
As young etymologists
You know that the word "no"...
I don't have no time to waste,
miss kaye.
That's a double negative
And the truth.
As young etymologists
You know the word "no"
is contained in the word "not."
So when you combine them
in a sentence
You're creating a double
negative-- repeating yourself.
For your homework,
I'd like you to have some fun.
( whispering ):
Wheels and steph
have got a date.
Wheels is going to
make it with steph.
Wheels and stephanie are
going to go all the way.
Mr. Raditch:
And I am also waiting for...
I'll see you
tomorrow.
Bye.
Steph agreed to a date.
That doesn't include
going all the way.
Don't be a prude.
If I were steph,
I'd cancel the date.
If she cancels
Wheels won't
see her anymore.
That's what I heard.
That's blackmail!
What do
you think?
Sex is no big deal.
Are you serious?
Look, I'm not
a little kid anymore.
I'm 14.
Anyway,
I like him.
What do you know?
It's the
school sleaze.
I mean, president.
Nice, voula.
Very nice.
It's disgusting.
I can't believe
the school president
Is being like this.
If she really
loves him
There's nothing wrong
with sex.
It's not sex
that's wrong.
It's sex
before marriage.
Lots of people
do it.
That doesn't
make it right.
I'm saving myself
for marriage.
Who would be
stupid enough
To marry you?
Wheels:
Uh, dad...
How old were you
when you first did it?
You want to know when
I lost my virginity.
Yeah.
I was a lot older
than you.
Were you nervous?
How did you know
what to do?
I mean,
exactly what to do.
Let's sit down.
Derek, look...
Sex isn't something
you do just for fun.
It's complicated, and it comes
with responsibilities.
What I'm
saying is
14 is too young.
You've got
lots of good times
Before you're
ready for sex.
Thank you.
Mom...
When was the first time
you had...
Sex?
Never mind.
We should talk
If you want.
No, never mind.
I realize we've never
really talked
About the facts
of life.
Please! I know all that stuff.
I'm not a little kid
You know.
Tonight's
the big night, eh?
You and steph
all the way?
You got protection?
What?
You need protection.
You know--
safes, rubbers...
Shh! Shh!
Condoms, prophylactics...
Stephanie...
You're not really going to...
You know...
Are you?
Don't you see, voula?
I already messed up one date.
I want him to like me.
If that's the reason
He likes you
You don't have to go
all the way.
Maybe I want to.
Do you?
Stephanie...
I'm sorry I called you a sleaze.
I didn't mean
to hurt you.
Wheels:
Maybe this isn't
a good idea.
Joey:
This is the '80s.
A guy's got
responsibilities.
What if we don't
do anything?
You don't like steph?
Of course I do.
What's the problem?
We're counting
on you.
You can't
let us down.
All right.
Safe city.
Shh.
What do you want?
We've got french stallion
Ribbed delight
Your industrial-strength
Your variety pack...
I don't
know.
We need
professional help.
Yo!
Can we get
Some service
in the safe section?
Joey, shh.
See you later.
Joey, wait.
Can I help you?
I'd like to...
Buy these.
Very well.
You should
read these.
Young people considering
becoming sexually active
Should know
About family planning
and venereal disease.
Uh... Thanks.
I'll call you when
I find out what
time my mum's going.
Can I bring some friends?
Sure.
I wonder what
swamp sex robots do.
I don't know,
but we'll find out.
All right.
See you.
Don't watch it
Till I come back tonight.
Bye.
Hi, arthur.
Hi, steph.
Uh, what time is
your date tonight?
7:30.
Why?
Just asking.
Uh... Steph
People at school are saying
stuff about you and wheels.
It's my date.
I'll do what I want.
It's only part-time,
but I'm still your brother.
I don't like it when people
say bad things about you.
Thanks, but I can
take care of myself.
Hi, mom.
Hello,
stephanie.
Hello, arthur.
It's nice to have
you both here again.
Arthur, I hope you
can understand.
I haven't seen you all week,
but I have
A date
tonight.
That's great, mom.
What time's he
picking you up?
7:30.
Arthur:
That's great.
I have to make
a phone call.
Yick, swamp sex robots,
7:45, my place.
So, what do you children
have planned
This
evening?
Um... I'm going
to a movie
with some friends.
I think
I'll watch tv.
You know, children,
sometimes at the store
People come in who are
just around your age.
Mom, shouldn't we
start washing up?
It's almost 7:30.
You don't want
to be late.
There's
lots of time.
A boy came in today,
barely older than you, steph.
I believe he's considering
becoming sexually active.
I gave him
some literature.
I think
it's time
Both of you read it, too.
Give them to him.
I brought some
for arthur.
I'd like you to read
them, too, stephanie.
Don't worry, mom.
I'm not sexually active.
Read them
Anyway, arthur.
Mom, can we start
washing up?
I'm done.
Yeah, me, too.
I'm going now.
See you later.
Have a good time.
Derek...
Yeah?
Remember
what I said.
Okay.
Mom:
Help, stephanie.
I need your
opinion.
Just a second.
Which do you think?
This, or this?
Either one would
be fine, really.
They're both nice.
You look great, mom.
He's late.
Oh, what's a few minutes?
Come on.
Oh, no.
I'll get it.
What are you
doing here?
Go away.
You're too early.
Come in,
michael.
I'm ready to...
You're the boy
from the drugstore.
What are you
doing here?
What are those flowers for?
He's very interested
In horticulture.
Stephanie,
get down here!
Just a minute.
Right now!
Come on in,
michael.
You, too.
Good-bye, swamp sex robots.
I don't know what the
two of you had planned
But since you
bought condoms
And you look
like a tramp
I intend to find out.
I'm sorry,
michael.
I understand.
Thank you.
I'll call you.
We have something to discuss
Beginning with just exactly
What's going
on here.
All right, stephanie,
let's begin with you.
I'll get it.
We want to see
the p*rn movie.
Swamp sex robots.
All right!
My mom was
really furious.
She lectured me for hours
about lying to her and stuff.
Wow.
I'm grounded
for two weeks.
I can't even go over
to your house.
Ouch.
She acts like I
m*rder*d someone.
That's terrible.
Yeah, but at least
I didn't have to do
anything with wheels.
Hey, dude.
How was
the big date?
What happened?
Nothing.
Nothing?!
Our dates don't
work out too good.
Man, it was
your big chance.
That's okay.
Anyway, it's none
of your business.
Hey, sure,
no problem.
So, are you and steph
going out anymore?
No, we're just going
to be friends.
Really?
So she's available,
right?
All right.
See you in class.
Yeah, see you.
Stephanie?
You weren't really going
to do anything, were you?
