BRAD:
Hot babe eleven o'clock.
Samantha Simmons.
A definite .
Ten-plus.
Gentlemen, I think we found
our first gold medal winner.
[SCOFFS]
What are the numbers for?
Oh, nothing.
Just a little rating game
that we like to play...
Oh. I thought you were
holding up your I.Q.'s.
Ooh...
She is outstanding.
I'd love to get her
in the backseat of my car...
if I had a car.
Forget it.
The woman turned me down cold.
Three times in a row.
No!
Hey, I'm telling you,
she copped this attitude,
like she was better than me,
like I was a jerk or something.
Where would she ever
get an idea like that?
Yeah, and you think
you could do better?
If I wanted to.
Everybody wants to.
Five bucks says you can't
even get a date with her.
Aw, come on, Brad.
I don't need your money.
Yeah. Well, I got a dollar
that says you won't even try.
Ooh!
Okay. I'll take that
right now.
Hi.
Yes?
Remember me?
The guy with the I.Q.
Yeah.
You looked like the smart one.
My name is Rick Stratton.
I know. You were in
my chemistry class last year.
Oh, you noticed me.
So how you doing this year
in chemistry?
Please,
I don't want to talk about it.
Okay.
Let's change the subject then.
Do you want to go out with me?
Uh, thanks,
but I don't really date much,
and I don't know you
that well.
Well, I know,
but that can change.
I'm sorry, I'm a little too busy
these days and I gotta go...
because I have a lot
of studying to do.
Hey, hey. I understand.
It-it's cool.
Hey, wait a minute.
This studying...wouldn't happen
to be chemistry, would it?
It's always chemistry.
Why don't we
study together sometime.
Chemistry is my best subject.
I got an A on the last test.
Really?
So come on, what do you say?
I'll think about it.
Okay.
So?
So she's thinking about it.
Yeah. Right. Pay up.
Oh, Rick. Let's do it.
Thursday night.
Here's my number.
Thanks, Sam.
[♪♪♪]
You know, it's not fair.
The first night in weeks we've
had a chance to go out together
and I've got to share you
with the Carmichaels.
I know. Life is cruel.
The Carmichaels?! We're going
out with the Wheelers.
No, we're not.
The Wheelers are next Thursday.
No. No. No.
The Wheelers are tonight.
I made the arrangements myself.
Here. See?
Well, I made the arrangements
with the Carmichaels. See?
Oh, great.
Now what are we going to do?
Simple!
We'll all go out together.
Just call the restaurant
and change the reservation
for six.
Oh, good idea.
Oh, wait a minute.
Aren't the Carmichaels and
the Wheelers always fighting?
Not since their kids
quit little league.
Hey, Dad!
Shouldn't you be leaving?
Any minute.
Good.
Well, Dad, what I mean is,
have a good time.
So, what are your plans
for tonight?
Aw, nothing much. Just some
studying with a friend.
Who?
Who? Um...Sam. Sam.
I don't believe I know him.
Well, no wrestling
in the living room this time.
I promise, Dad.
Not in the living room.
Okay. I changed the reservation.
Let's go.
Okey-doke.
Well, have fun, kids.
Yeah. We shouldn't be
too late, son.
No, Dad. It's okay.
Please be late.
[DOORBELL CHIMING]
Hi. Is Rick home?
Hi, Sam. Come on in.
Dad, Kate,
this is Samantha Simmons.
Hi. Nice to meet you.
Hello.
Hi.
So this is the "Sam" you were
so eager to study with?
Rick, you know,
you two are gonna be alone here
together, so, be...uh...careful.
Well, Dad, I understand.
I'll keep the door locked.
That too.
Let's hurry.
Yeah. We better leave
and let you two
get right to it...
Studying, that is.
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
Well, come on in.
Tell me where
you're having problems.
You name it.
Well, could you narrow it down
just a little?
Well, substance measurement,
for one.
Okay, moles.
Moles?
Yeah. Molecular weight.
You see, it's a unit
of measurement.
Oh.
Your problem's right here.
You set up the equation wrong.
It's grams
divided by molecular weight.
I see.
Look, I'll show you.
You know, it's awfully nice
of you to help me out like this.
To be honest,
I wasn't "just" being nice.
I had ulterior motives.
I know.
[♪♪♪]
Okay, honey,
dinner with the Carmichaels
and the Wheelers was a mistake.
Three Mile Island was a mistake.
Tonight was a disaster.
Well, I did my best.
I spent the whole first part
of the evening
trying to get them
to talk to each other.
Yeah, and the rest
of the evening
getting Norman
out of a choke-hold.
Yeah, that Edith
is strong as a bull.
[CHUCKLES]
[RINGS]
I'll get it. Ahem.
If that's Edith, tell her I got
her a rematch with Hulk Hogan.
Hello.
Who?
Mrs. Simmons. Sam's mother.
Yeah. What can I do for you?
Oh, I assumed she left here
a while ago...
I don't know when.
We just got home...
I think he's upstairs asleep,
I'll be glad to ask him
and get back to you.
Yeah, what's your number?
Mm-hm.
Rick. Rick!
Oh, hi, Dad.
Dad!
What happened?
That's a good question.
Well, Dad, we must
have fallen asleep.
That's not a good answer.
I am so embarrassed.
Dad, it's not what you think,
I was just showing her my moles.
Dad, see-my mo...my mo...
My molecular tables.
You see, they're right here.
We fell asleep studying.
We'll talk about
your moles later.
Samantha's mother just called.
She's worried sick about you.
Oh, great. It's been nice
knowing all of you...
Well, go down and call her.
Tell her you're okay
and I'll drive you home.
Okay.
Well, it's pretty late.
So we're gonna talk about this
one in the morning. Right?
No, we're going to talk
about this one right now.
How could you do something
so stupid
as to bring a girl up
in your room when nobody's home!
Dad, I swear!
Nothing happened...
Nothing at all.
It was completely innocent.
Well, that's good to know.
But you exercised
very poor judgment, son.
No let me rephrase that.
It was dumb
and stupid
to bring a girl up to your room.
Not even your room-- Your bed!
That's even stupider!
Dad I know and I'm sorry.
It'll never happen again.
I promise.
It better not!
Come on, didn't you ever make
a mistake when you were my age?
No!
[♪♪♪]
BRAD: Yo, Stratton.
Hey, guys.
We gotta talk to you.
Sure, what's up?
You tell us.
What happened last night?
Nothing happened.
Come on...
something must have happened.
Samantha got grounded.
She did?
When did you find out?
Just now. So come on
what happened? You can tell us.
Yeah. We're your best friends.
All right.
Nothing happened.
Look, we started out studying
in the living room...
Yeah? Yeah?
And then we wanted
to listen to some music
so we went up to my room...
Good move.
I taught him that.
So we were sitting on my bed...
Wait. Go slower.
And then we fell asleep.
W-wait a second. Aren't you
leavin' something out?
Like what happened
between sitting on the bed
and falling asleep?
Look guys. Nothing happened.
Nothing at all!
I think he's telling us
the truth.
You think so?
Sure.
What could happen with
Saint Stratton in the room?
[CHUCKLES]
Yeah. He wouldn't think
of trying anything.
He was probably too afraid
to even make a move.
Come on guys, I wasn't afraid.
Oh, yeah? Did you score?
Hey, Brad, you know, you don't
talk about those things.
Sure you do. Yes or no.
Did you score
or did you chicken out?
Come on, guys.
I never chicken out.
That means he scored!
All right! Way to go, k*ller.
See. I knew
he wouldn't let us down.
So, uh, how was it?
What do you mean,
"how was it"?
It's like it always is,
right, Rick?
Yeah, yeah, I know that.
I just wanted to make sure
it was the same for Rick.
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
Where were you?
Oh, my morning
racquetball game...
You left before I woke up.
Yeah, I tiptoed out.
I didn't want to wake you.
But I hurried back
as soon as I could.
Good.
You're just in time
to kiss me goodbye.
What!
I gotta go meet Frank Bellows
down at the office.
We're close to a breakthrough
on Crazy Bouncing Putty.
[PUTTY THUDS]
By tomorrow, that'll bounce.
But it's Saturday.
I was hoping to spend
the day with you.
Honey, I'll be back by .
Well, yeah, well, I have to go
somewhere by .
I'll go with you.
A bridal shower?
I'll wear my pearls.
But I wanted to spend some time
with you right now.
Well, I have five minutes.
Oh, this is ridiculous.
What could we possibly do
in five minutes?
I mean, down here.
Edward.
Aw, honey, you're right.
We got to find a way to spend
more time together.
What are you doing
tomorrow night?
Before or after your poker game?
Right again. Let me see.
How about Monday night?
No, I have a business class.
Can't you ditch?
I teach it.
Ah.
Wait a minute.
How about Tuesday night?
No can do.
I've got a "Save
Long Island Sound" meeting.
I thought you saved it
last year.
Just part of it.
Oh.
How about Wednesday?
Nope.
Dinner with the Martins.
Not the Martins.
Last time we had dinner
with them,
he washed his teeth out
in my water glass.
Oh, come on, Edward.
He was just joking.
I mean, it was Halloween.
Well, the only night I have open
is Thursday.
Aw, and all I've got
is Tuesday morning.
Tell you what.
[SIGHS] What?
I'll meet you in the shower
Wednesday morning - : .
Ooh!
[CHUCKLES]
Okay.
How will I know you?
I'll be the one
wearing soap-on-a-rope.
[♪♪♪]
Uh, excuse me?
Yeah, hi, Elliot.
Can I talk to you
for a minute?
Sure. What's up? You having
trouble in algebra again?
Well, yes, I am.
But that's not why I'm here.
Okay, then why are you here?
Actually, we need some tutoring
in another subject...
Sex!
Well, heh,
why are you coming to me?
Because you're the guy who
scored with Samantha Simmons.
Way to go!
What? Hey, look,
who told you that?
It's common knowledge.
Of course, we freshmen
were the last to find out.
It takes longer to trickle down.
Oh, no...
Now, I've got some specific
questions from my gym class.
Should you or should you not
eat before--
Not now, Elliot.
I've got to strangle someone.
Brad!
Oh, hiya, buddy.
Don't buddy me.
I'll gonna k*ll you.
Huh?
Samantha Simmons, that's what.
It's all over school!
You told someone!
No! I swear!
I didn't tell anyone.
It must have been Eric.
[SIGHS]
Or someone
from the football team.
You told the football team?
Hey, they swore
they'd keep it a secret!
Aw, now, I'm really
going to k*ll you!
Hey, lighten up...
Lighten up?!
What if this gets back to Sam?
Doesn't she already know?
Hi, Rick.
Hi, Allison.
Hi, babe.
I was wondering...
Could you give me some help
in chemistry?
Um...
I could come to your house.
No!
Um... You can't!
No, you can't! No! No.
Well,
we could do it at my house.
But it'd have to be
on Wednesday.
That's when my parents
go bowling.
We'd be all alone.
[WHIMPERS]
Um...Allison, I would
really love to, but I can't.
You know, I'm busy,
I think. Sort of.
Well, if you unbusy yourself...
call me.
And you wanted to k*ll me?
You should be thanking me.
Thanking you?
Oh, no...
I don't want Samantha to see me.
Well, uh,
if you're through with her,
you mind if I ask her out?
Brad,
you're gross and disgusting!
Is that a "no"?
Hi.
Hi. What are you doing here?
I thought you were grounded.
Boy, word sure travels fast.
[CHUCKLES]
You have no idea.
So how'd you get out
of the house?
Lockup isn't until .
How come you didn't
get grounded?
I talked fast
and looked pathetic.
Hi, Cheryl.
I don't get it.
Girls I know have been
ignoring me all day.
Do I have food
stuck in my teeth?
No. They're fine.
Well, at least
you're still talking to me.
Uh...I'm gonna go get you
something to drink.
Thanks.
Hi, there.
Hi, Mike.
I didn't know you and young
Stratton were going together.
We're not.
In that case,
why don't you and I go out?
Say, next Saturday
to the drive-in?
It's closed for renovation.
I know.
Thank you very much, Mike,
but drop dead.
Look, I don't get it.
You won't go out with me,
but you'll sleep with him.
You told people
I slept with you?
We fell asleep together...
but we didn't sleep together.
There's a big difference,
you know.
Believe me, I know that.
I just-- I didn't--
How could you?
How could you say that?
Look, I didn't mean to.
It just came out that way
when I was talking to Brad.
Brad? The jerk?
And Eric.
The dork? Great.
No wonder I've been getting
all these looks.
It's probably all over school.
Sam, I'm sorry...
I'll bet you are!
Wait, look, don't go.
Okay. Please.
I'll do anything to make it
up to you. Anything!
No, thank you.
You've done enough already.
I don't think my reputation
can handle anymore.
I'll never be able
to show my face here again.
Wait!
Can I have everyone's
attention here, please.
I have an announcement to make.
Who is it this time?
[LAUGHS]
Nothing ever happened
between me and Samantha.
That's not what we heard.
I know.
It's a rumor which I started.
It's a complete and total lie.
I've never done anything
with Sam.
That's the truth.
I'm sorry, Sam.
To think we looked up to you.
[♪♪♪]
You've sure been staying home
a lot, son.
Anything wrong?
No, what could be wrong?
Where's Kate?
She's at a conference.
Oh. Why aren't you with her?
She wanted me to go,
but those things are so boring.
Yeah. Not exciting
like this slumber party.
[SCOFFS]
You know something?
You're right.
Why should I be bored here,
when I could be bored with Kate?
Well, not that I'm bored
with Kate,
or with you...
for that matter.
You see, because I think--
Dad.
Hmm?
Go to the conference.
Good idea.
That way Kate and I
can be together.
[CHUCKLES]
Thanks, son.
[DOORBELL CHIMING]
Hi.
Hi.
Somebody to see you.
I'll see you later.
Not much later.
Let's just say
I could be back anytime.
Hi.
Hi.
I, uh, just dropped by
to see how you were doing.
Oh, I'm doing swell.
Never been better.
Really?
Yeah.
All the guys think I'm a wimp
and all the girls snicker.
Oh, then you know how I felt?
Yeah, I sure do.
I also wanted to tell you
that I thought what you did
at Burgers
was a very classy thing.
Oh, yeah?
And I still need help
in chemistry.
You do?
Well, I'm not doing anything
right now...
Great. I've got my books.
Well, terrific, then.
Only this time, let's go study
down at the library?
But it's so crowded.
Yeah. And safer.
Honey! Surprise!
Honey?
Edward, I came home
from the conference,
just to be with you.
