"Some of us are trying to make the most of our education." "Mockery." "How can you work with that noise?" "Used to it, I guess." "Jesus, would you listen to that?" "It's repulsive." "Just ignore it like everyone else." "That's the problem." "We ignore and they think it's OK." "Half naked cheers to mindless violence." "This is not higher education." "We've got to do something." "This is high school." "What are we going to do?" "No, that's highschool." "This is Vo-Tech." "Same building." "Same building, different worlds." "Up there, it's nothing but..." "But cheerleading and football." "We make things..." "Physical, tangible things." "We're doing something real down here and they shit all over us." "Hey, pube face, what do you think?" "High school's just one big meaningless sex" "And violence machine, right?" "We're all the corroded gears of this cruel pain" "Machine called adolescence." "[Door slamming]" "See?" "He agrees with me." "OK, OK, so what can we do?" "They shit on our world, we shit on theirs." "Cool, cool." "Where do we begin?" "So this is how the other half shits." "Padded seats." "Scented toilet paper, crappy music, this" "Is just like my grandma's house." "[Knocking]" "Occupied." "[Knocking]" "Look, you speak English?" "El shitero is occupado, stupid fuck." "DAN:" "I need to see it." "Sick man, you some kind of faggot?" "DAN:" "Your hall pass, asshole." "I need to see your hall pass." "Fuck." "Uh, just a minute." "Uh, cafeteria meatloaf, man." "You know how it goes." "[Knocking]" "Bad decision." "Woo, it's not healthy in here." "[Knocking]" "Ah." "When are you scum going to learn?" "If you want to take a dump, you need a hall pass." "Easy, man, I'm not from here." "I'm from the Vo-Tech." "I didn't know." "Ignorance of the law is no excuse." "OK, OK, I'm sorry." "Can I at least wash my hands?" "You know what they say, hygiene first." "Ugh." "And let everyone know that as of today," "The Vo-Tech takes no more shit from high school dorks." "[Laughter]" "[Gunshot]" "[Crying]" "My leg, you shot my leg, you prick." "Jesus Christ, I'll never walk again." "Hm, well, then I suggest you crawl to the nurse's office." "[Crying]" "You're dead, dick head." "Do you hear me?" "This isn't over." "You don't fuck with the Vo-Tech." "We'll meet again, I promise." "Super." "Hey." "Hey, come back." "I'm really bleeding here." "Mommy?" "Good morning, fellow students." "This is Lucy McGregor reporting live" "At the start of another school day at Rocky Mountain High." "I'm standing here with football captain" "Jonathan Thomas Tom Thomson." "Johnny, the Rocky Mountain Carrots" "Are riding high on an unprecedented five" "Game winning streak." "We all want to know how do you it?" "Lucy, the team's in great shape and we're working hard." "But the single most important factor to our winning streak" "Is the raging Rocky Mountain fever" "Running wild in this school." "And as long as our fans support us, we'll kick ass." "Catch the fever, it's contagious." "Wow." "I am live with Kirk the Killer, Mitch the Oven," "And Ritchie the Idiot." "Guys, do you agree with your team captain" "When he says school spirit has carried you through you" "Five game winning streak?" "School spirit my ass, Lucy." "We're natural born killing machines." "We won't be stopped." "Yeah." "Any one who doesn't agree with that gets thrown in the oven." "Yeah." "I..." "I..." "I played football." "Yeah." "You heard it here first." "I think it's a travesty, that while so much suffering is" "Visible in our school, you people" "Center on something as trivial and as violent as football." "What about the students that are mathematically deficient" "And can't find proper tutoring?" "Do the care about football?" "Or the lactose intolerant, there is not a substitute for milk" "Available in the school cafeteria." "Or, the baby seal..." "Here's our school mascot with a comment" "On a team's winning streak." "GIRL:" "Corporal punishment kills freaks." "Ah-ha, I knew I was popular." "I would like to take this time to acknowledge the unpopular." "OK, she's gone, let's go." "Hey, baby." "Come on, what are you doing Friday night?" "Come on, we got something going on... ugh." "[Camera clicks]" "[Cheering]" "Wendy, our sources have linked you to the hall monitor." "Tell us, do you hold the hall pass to his heart?" "Well, you know, it's hard being the most" "Popular girl in school." "Sometimes I..." "I feel like my private life" "Is being broadcast all over the PA system." "So in the interest of privacy, well," "I..." "I can't confirm that I'm romantically" "Involved with the hall monitor." "I can say that it only makes sense" "That the most popular boy in school" "Would be with the most popular girl." "And that would be me." "[Tires screeching]" "Hall monitor, you rule, man, woo." "Dan, our sources have linked you with Wendy Pepper." "Tell us, is there love in the hallway?" "You want to stick that thing somewhere else?" "There have been reports that the Vo-Tech" "Is planning to retaliate after yesterday's shooting." "Do you expect any trouble today?" "If I'm lucky." "There you have it." "The start of another exciting school day" "At Rocky Mountain High." "This is Lucy McGregor saying the note" "That you pass in class will eventually come back to you." "That's a wrap." "I'm better than this." "I'll never get a scholarship with stories like these." "They're so junior high." "Let it go, Lucy." "Come on, got to get to home room." "[Crow cawing]" "Ew." "They brushed me off, Maurice." "Pushed me aside like a weekend homework assignment." "I'm dead." "Do you hear me?" "Finished, ruined." "You've got to help me, Maurice." "Maurice?" "Huh?" "You and me, right?" "Together, we'll ride those waves of popularity" "Right back to the top." "What do you say?" "Yeah, whatever, babe." "I'll do anything, anything you say I" "Have to do to be popular again." "I'll do it." "You know this kid?" "The hall monitor?" "Yeah, we did preschool together." "This kid is hot." "This kid is on fire." "Why hasn't he come to see me?" "Can you imagine what I could do for this kid?" "Can you imagine what this kid could do for me?" "I could make principal with this kid on my resume." "I think you're forgetting what's most important here." "And what would that be?" "Me." "I can sing, I can dance." "Shakespeare's like a second language to me." "I am dead, Maurice." "Oh, wretched school, adieu." "Had I bit time to regain my popularity." "Oh, I could tell you, but alas, I am dead." "Oh, I am dead." "[Bell ringing]" "Well, that's first period." "Good morning, class." "Today, we are going to learn about the miracle of life," "The fragile and fascinating process of the most" "Beautiful gift on the planet." "Does everyone have a dead frog?" "I saw you on the cover of the paper." "It was really brave of you to stand up" "To a Vo-Tech student like that." "TEACHER:" "Everyone, grab a scalpel." "Vo-Tech students are scum." "They don't deserve to be in the same building as you and me." "TEACHER:" "That will make your first incision" "Right down through here." "You know, everyone thinks we should be together, you and me." "Crazy, isn't it?" "The most popular girl in school and the hall monitor?" "It would be a media sensation, don't you think?" "Well?" "You know, I'm not exactly hard up." "If you're going to be like this, then maybe" "I should just be out of here and leave because I don't want to..." "[Gunshot] [gasp]" "Oh, God." "I'm done." "[Knocking]" "For heaven's sake, Daniel, put the gun away" "Or I'll have take it for the rest of the period." "Daniel Kashwood, please report to the principal's office." "Well, Dan, I guess we'll discuss this little incident later." "Super." "Yeah, yeah, but..." "I know what you're saying," "You're not hearing what I'm saying." "Since I employed Daniel Kashwood as... as hall monitor," "Tardiness is down 50%, class skipping is down 75%," "And nobody in their right mind runs in the halls anymore." "OK." "OK, I'll tell him." "But just for the record, I think this stinks." "There is nothing wrong with doing things a little bit" "Differently." "Problems in the bedroom?" "Good morning, Daniel." "Have a seat." "I'd rather stand." "What's up?" "We go back a long way, you and I." "All the way back to the sixth grade, if I remember correctly." "Cut to the chase, Marty." "I have an exam second period." "The chase?" "Well, the chase is this." "That fun of yours is getting me into a world of shit." ""Hall monitor maims another in corridor conspiracy."" "The press is killing us." "You're shooting students like they're going out of season." "What am I going to do?" "Thank me." "I like you, Dan." "I mean, you get results, but the superintendent" "Is breathing down my neck." "Mothers are afraid to send their children to school." "I gotta listen to 'em." "Shooting students is not the only way of disciplining them." "It's the most effective." "[Sigh]" "Here it is, Daniel." "You use that gun only in emergency situations." "No, you got it?" "Now, I mean it." "If not, I'm going to take it away from you." "Is that all?" "Well, it's not so bad." "You can still rough 'em up a little." "Hey, cheer up, Daniel." "It's Friday." "The problem with being on top is everybody" "Wants to knock you back down." "Excuse me?" "Thin walls, couldn't help overhearing." "You see, they don't understand you." "You have vision." "These schmucks wouldn't understand vision" "If it kicked them in the balls." "It scares 'em, intimidates them." "They can't handle it." "I, on the other hand, was born to handle your kind of vision." "I live for it." "I gotta get to class." "Stop by my office some time." "We'll talk about how the most popular kid in school" "Deserves to be treated." "Have a good day now." "What does a kid like that want?" "[Phone ringing]" "Maurice." "Wendy, baby, how are the grades?" "Don't give me that baby shit, Maury." "You promised me the hall monitor." "You know, there are a lot of high schools out there" "That will be more than happy to have me as a student." "Hey, don't hurt me like that, I'm working on it." "The word is out." "Yeah, I mean, even he isn't dating you," "Everyone will think that he is." "Yeah, I..." "I've already written the break up story." "Really?" "How do I come off?" "MAURICE (ON PHONE):" "Oh, like an angel, babe, like an angel." "You're a hero, Maury." "Yeah, yeah, sure, sure." "Look, stop by my office." "Something just hit me." "What a kid." "Once we get the fever to spread," "There's no way we'll lose." "Yeah." "Screw the fever, Captain." "I'm starved tonight." "I got a hunger for blood sucking fat heads." "They call it football because you" "Kick the ball with your foot." "You're missing the subtlety of the fever." "Yes, we'll break arms." "Yes, we'll draw blood..." "Hey, Johnny, what are you doing tonight oh." "Call me." "But without the fever, it's all in vain." "It's all about purpose." "I don't know, Captain." "That's sounds like a bunch of shit to me." "I play ball so I can hurt people." "You boys want to watch where you're going?" "What are you doing down there, old man?" "I'm only doing what they say I has to do." "Keep the school clean, that's what I'm doing." "Go ahead, laugh, you youngsters think you own this school." "I'm keeping this place clean." "I've been doing it since before you was a wet spot" "On your mama's bed sheet." "How about I turn you into a big wet spot" "Right here on the floor?" "Ease up, Killer." "This guy's a part of the school." "I'm sure he could tell you a thing or two" "About the Rocky Mountain fever." "Go ahead, old guy." "Tell 'em how the fever spans generations" "And brings us all together." "I don't know what the hell you're talking about, boy." "Fever?" "I think you've got a fever." "It's making you hallucinate." "That's what I think." "Disbeliever." "Remember, fill in the bubbles neatly and cleanly." "After you've finished, place the exams on my desk." "Any questions?" "Oh, oh." "TEACHER:" "Yes, Carl?" "Can I got to nurse's office?" "I don't feel so good." "We've been through this before, Carl." "I'm sure you'd feel fine if you'd studied last night." "You have 50 minutes." "Begin." "See anything interesting?" "[Gunshot]" "I guess I should have seen this coming." "Marty, be reasonable." "How am I supposed to dispose of the garbage" "Out there without my gun?" "Maybe you ought to try giving a demerit" "Like a normal hall monitor?" "Look, Dan, I know how much this job means to you, which" "Is why I am not firing you." "Besides, it's a Friday." "What could happen?" "[Crow cawing]" "[Choking]" "[Whistling]" "I can't believe this, a story, a real story." "Is that thing on?" "All clear, Lucy." "This is Lucy McGregor reporting live from the boy's lavatory." "In a tragically ironic turn of events, Kirk the Killer Kronos" "Has been, uh, killed." "Apparently, he was strangled to death." "Details are sketchy, but we hope to have" "An answer by lunch time." "One can only imagine what kind of sick and twisted person" "Could do something like this on a Friday." "Our beloved Carrot is on the scene." "Carrot, do have any words of solace or comfort" "To offer the rest of the student body?" "Yes, Lucy, yes, I do." "In times like this, it can be hard to find a reason to go on." "I mean, this poor boy is dead." "I know it can be hard to accept that, but believe me," "He's dead." "That's why we must be strong and think of positive things," "Think of happy things, things like... things like me." "That's it, get it off him." "Get it... ow." "Look at me." "I'm alive." "I'm very, very alive." "Cut it." "LUCY:" "How do you feel about the murder of Kirk Kronos?" "Kirk is dead?" "Oh, my God." "I can't believe this." "He has my CDs." "How am I supposed to get them back?" "Kirk?" "He was the best damn defensive tackle this school ever had" "And a damn fine kid, damn fine." "But I guess you have to look at the bright time" "In situations like this." "I mean, he was only a defensive tackle" "And we have the big game tonight." "Thank God they didn't get the quarterback." "Poor boy, that poor dead boy." "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." "I can't possibly express the deep sorrow that I'm feeling." "Hey, are you slapping erasers?" "Chalk dust kills the ozone layer." "I don't know if you're aware of this," "But the victim didn't have a hall pass." "Way I see it, he had it coming." "PRINCIPAL MARTY:" "Dan, get over here." "What do you got?" "Just this." "They found it on top of the body." ""To the kid I met in the first grade, K-I-T."" "Kirk the Killer." "KIT?" "Keep in touch." "Nowadays, the kids are too lazy to write" "Out a complete thought." "What do you make of it?" "Well, looks like the rumors of a Vo-Tech retaliation are true." "Looks like." "Give me my gun." "Humph." "You can't be serious." "They killed a student." "But not with a gun, with a jock strap." "It's very resourceful." "You could learn something from this killer." "Let's get this wrapped up today." "We don't want it ruining the football game tonight, huh?" "Super." "[Bell ringing]" "JONATHAN (ON TV):" "I want the entire school" "To know that Kirk's death will no way affect tonight's game." "I mean, we're all real shook about it," "But our feelings are irrelevant." "We don't play football for ourselves," "We play football for the fever and the fever knows no death." "It's... it's eternal." "Catch the fever, it's conta..." "Don't you ever go to class?" "It's not fair." "They used to love me." "It used to be, Carrot, do a cheer." "Carrot, do a dance." "Yo, Carrot, sing "Free Bird."" "You want to know what I think?" "I think if you spent less time whining in my office" "And more time out there making it happen," "You could be popular again." "See, if you really wanted it... if you really," "Really wanted it... you'd be farting in class," "Partying on weekends, killing football players." "Now, see, now... now there is a kid with ambition." "There is a kid with drive." "That is the kid I should be representing, not some... some..." "Some... fruit in a funny suit." "I am not a fruit." "I'm a vegetable." "Besides, you want the hall monitor?" "You can't handle the murderer too, silly boy." "They'd kill each other." "Now that is the first intelligent thing" "You've said all day." "Football killer versus the hall monitor... students" "Would pay to see that assembly." "Oh, supposed you do get this killer, how are you" "Going to get the hall monitor?" "He won't even talk to you." "That's all being taken care of right now." "I'm making him an offer he can't refuse, heh-heh-heh-heh." "What?" "My, oh, my, I seem to be aimlessly wandering" "The halls without a hall pass." "I hope that big bad hall monitor doesn't catch me." "Oh, what do I have here?" "A stick of gum." "Everyone knows you're not supposed to chew gum in school." "Where is he?" "[Metal clanging]" "[Knocking]" "What?" "Where is everybody?" "Somewhere else." "[Knocking]" "Oh, surprise, it's you again." "Where did they go?" "Not exactly an honor student, are we?" "They went to the high school, something about beating down" "The oppressors by using their own bloody discrimination" "Against them, not that I was paying attention." "What do you do back there?" "Just working on a plan to forever change" "The face of this institution for the better," "Merely using my genius to improve the lives of my peers." "Nothing important." "Hm, sounds boring." "Ugh." "Freeze, Vo-Tech scum." "All right, I need to see it." "What's so funny, ass hole?" "All right, I better be seeing six more hall passes real soon." "[Elevator ding]" "You're going to have a hard time collecting hall" "Passes with two broken arms." "Hm, how's the leg?" "Mockery." "Get his gun and give it to me." "You think you're so goddamn tough." "Well, you're not, see?" "I'm not a high school pussy." "I'm from the Vo-Tech." "You can shoot me and I'll be back the next day, pissed off" "And still with a perfect attendance record." "No... no gun." "What?" "I searched him myself, he doesn't have a fun." "It's too easy." "Hold him." "You think you're so cool, with your sports" "And your cheerleading?" "Well, we don't have football or sex in the Vo-Tech." "It's time to feel our pain." "What the Sam Hill's going on here?" "Crazy kids." "Get that old fuck." "What the... oh, shit." "Call Bessie, crazy kids." "Going back to the elementary school." "Ah." "Oh, my good leg." "Kill that prick." "Super." "Humph, stand in the hallway, babe." "Where the skimpy red thing, sweetheart." "Kiss my ass, Maury." "Good morning, Ms. Wendy." "[Screaming]" "Hey." "[Whistling]" "[Giggling]" "We're done taking high school shit." "Starting today, we... ah." "[Screaming]" "[Screaming]" "Oh." "Oh." "Don't move, man, or I swear I'll take her eye out." "See?" "That's what I'm talking about." "It's all sex, sex, sex." "You are so cool." "[Clapping]" "Ah, not so fast, tough guy." "I have a hall pass." "I'm not as dumb as you look." "I have every right to be in this hallway and you know it." "You got nothing on me." "You two make me sick." "The most popular kids in school... sex and violence." "[Screaming]" "You don't impress me, man." "I'm from the Vo-Tech and I have a hall pass." "I have a hall... pass." "Ah." "Mockery." "This ain't over, man." "Not by a long shot." "So where do you sit at lunch?" "I could save you a seat at the cool table if you want." "Dan?" "We got problems." "Suffocated with a cup, ugh." "I hope I never go that way." "Anybody see anything?" "It's the library, Dan." "Nobody ever comes in here." ""To the guy I beat up after school, KIT."" "Mitch the Oven, hm." "I know, it doesn't do us any good." "Mitch beat up half the student body last year." "Could be anybody." "The superintendent's not happy." "There's a big game tonight." "If I had my gun..." "And then we'd have seven innocent people dead." "I have a hard enough time trying to explain why" "You beat up the entire Vo-Tech." "And by the way, the, um, wood shop teacher says thanks." "There's one left." "One what?" "One Vo-Tech student." "And we're going to keep it that way." "Now from this point on, you will follow no more leads." "I want you to stick with the football team." "Do not let them out of your sight." "I am serious, Dan." "The superintendent is furious." "He is talking about reinstating morning prayer" "Because of this violence." "God help us all." "This is Lucy McGregor reporting from the school cafeteria" "On was has become a sad day for the students" "At Rocky Mountain High." "Two of our most popular, beloved students taken in their prime." "I didn't really know any of the victims." "I'm on the chess team." "I would just like to say that we exist" "In a school of many people." "Oh." "Popular, unpopular." "Lucy." "Athletic, non-athletic." "I'm devastated that my friends are" "Now walking the hallways of that great big high school" "In the sky." "People of many different beliefs and interests." "I'm not a football player." "Like I said, I'm on the chess team." "And I think it's a sin that one should" "Be punished for simply belonging to one of these groups." "That's right, I'm on the chess team." "You all made fun of me." "You beat me up after school and stole my lunch money." "You all laughed at me, but who's laughing now, dead boys?" "So you think it's wrong that these two" "Victims were murdered simply because they're" "Football players?" "No, I think it's wrong that this is considered a vegetarian" "Substitute for meatloaf." "I'm on the chess team." "I'm on the chess team." "Is this 20 OK?" "Are there any words of comfort you" "Can offer those who are closest to the deceased?" "My advise is don't fret, that causes crinkles." "Why wear your pain on your face when" "You can wear it on your body?" "For only 19.99, you can show the world that you're mourning" "And still look good for your senior picture." "That is it." "He's not allowed on camera any more." "He's ruining my documentary, I just..." "Order now and receive this free gift." "Shut up." "Turn that off." "I'm sure the victims would agree" "With me, if they weren't dead." "Jonathan, who do you think the killer is... a football" "Player from a rival school, maybe" "A disgruntled ex-cheerleader?" "The identity of the killer isn't important, Lucy." "What is important is that the team" "Hasn't lost its school spirit." "We are all still infected by the raging Rocky Mountain fever" "And that fever is guiding and protecting us even as I speak." "How so?" "We've been given a guardian angel." "Dan, are you personally protecting the football team?" "I've seen the sort of thing that's going today before." "And let me tell you, the scum that's doing this" "Is cold, relentless, and consistent." "He's not going to stop until everybody at this table" "Is dead." "Well, I say here they are, dirt bag, come and get 'em." "I'll be here waiting." "And I don't care if everyone in this school has to die." "I'm going to catch this son of a bitch in the end" "And then I'm going to take him down." "You hear me, asshole?" "You're going down." "I'm not afraid of you." "Kill 'em all, I won't back down." "You're mine." "Mine." "[Laughter]" "WENDY:" "Isn't he the most?" "This... this is Lucy McGregor signing off." "You shouldn't eat that shit." "It's bad for the skin." "What do you want, Williams?" "Your job, but I'd settled for the hall monitor." "[Laughter]" "Yeah, the hall monitor, that's a good one." "Mhm, what are you going to do?" "Get him elected class president?" "Hall monitor doesn't care for your, uh, world." "That's why he's so effective." "Popularity, girls, doesn't mean a thing to that kid." "What could you give him that he doesn't have?" "A gun." "Come on, Marty, you know it's the right thing to do." "Look, I was, um, only following the superintendent's orders," "All right?" "Oh, please, spare me the good soldier routine." "Besides, I mean, really, what's one or two" "Dead innocent bystanders compared" "To a big win in tonight's game?" "Marty, Marty, I only came to you because you're the one" "Person that this kid trusts." "Mark my words, if I have to do this without you, I will." "You know, I always liked this office." "What would you think about shag carpeting?" "You get the hell out of my office." "Oh, no, you keep it." "You're going to need something to cry into." "Oh-ho, ciao, baby." "[Groaning]" "I'm going to start killing them myself." "[Glass breaking]" "I appreciate this, Dan." "My entire offensive line's in this class." "Big game coming up tonight, can't be too careful." "Let's get one thing straight." "I hate football." "I'm only here to catch this scum in the act." "Think fast." "Excuse me." "[Chuckle]" "You know, we got a couple openings on the team," "If you're interested." "Hey, idiot, go long." "Don't just stand there, idiot." "Go get it." "Oh, I'm going to start making him wear a helmet." "Jesus." "Football?" "Football?" "Football." "[Deep breathing]" "Ow." "Stay where I can see you, moron." "Idiot." "What?" "It's idiot, not moron." "Yeah, uh-huh." "Well, you know, actually, I..." "I have some ideas of my own." "And the one that's going to be put into operation" "Almost any minute now." "Uh-huh." "OK, well, listen, I..." "I've got to run, sir." "Ciao, love you." "Asshole." "Father John, how's life in the school of the Lord?" "Fine, fine, good to see you're still doing so well, eh?" "What can I say?" "Jesus loves me." "Yeah, apparently so." "He comes bearing gift, sir." "Oh, ho-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho." "How many Hail Marys is this going to sit me back?" "Oh, think nothing of it." "There's simply no place for weapons of the devil" "At the Saint Teresa High." "Besides, nowhere in the Bible does" "It say thou shalt not perform unauthorized locker searches," "Eh?" "And you are a true man of the Lord." "Grazie, signore." "Oh, prego." "[Laughter]" "Maurice, I got it." "I'm a genius." "I'll come back later." "What can I say?" "Public schools." "He's a carrot." "He's one of my clients." "[Bell ringing]" "Something's seriously wrong in this school, Dan." "Number seven, nice hustle." "I mean, whoever this kid is, he took off two of my meanest," "Toughest players." "Hey, big number eight, way to go, huh?" "I mean, why a bad ass like that is wondering these halls" "And not on my team is beyond me." "Ritchie, we forget something?" "What?" "I showered." "Get in there and cover that... that thing up." "Oh." "Idiot, idiot." "Danny boy, hey, kid." "Come here." "Remember when I told you that I understood you, that I" "Could handle your vision?" "Don't answer." "You can thank me later." "Look, I'm sorry I didn't come to your office." "Jesus, it's been a busy day." "No, no, it's for you." "Kid, it's... it's a gift." "It's a gift, yours to keep, if you'll let" "Me be your guidance counselor." "[Thumping]" "What are you doing in there?" "Restoring my school to the values it was founded upon." "No, really, what are you doing?" "You come with me, you get the gun and the freedom" "To use it however you see fit." "And what do you get?" "Me?" "Well, I..." "I get the peace of mind" "Knowing that our school is once again" "Protected by the baddest son of a bitch" "To ever walk these halls." "Of course, when you catch the little psycho," "You're going to have to, you know," "Kill 'em in front of the entire school," "But I'll be standing right by your side." "What do you think?" "After a display like that, you could become a hero." "And I could become principal." "Hm?" "I gotta get to class." "Damn, kid." "What does he want?" "[Crash]" "What the hell?" "RITCHIE:" "What are you..." "[Crash]" "Ow." "Ouch, ouch." "So let me get this straight." "You've poisoned the mouthpieces so that the entire football" "Team will die." "And?" "And by murdering the barbitua..." "Perpetuators." "Perpetuators of lies and violence," "The school will once again be forced to shift focus" "To education and social reform." "That's it." "Oh." "The one person that understood me." "[Sigh]" "Freeze." "Oh." "So it seems you've caught me." "Well, before you take me in, I'm sure there are just a million" "Questions you'd like to ask me, like why did I do it, what" "Drives such a brilliant criminal mind," "Did my mom dress me up like a girl." "Well, go ahead and ask me a question" "And I'll pretend to be interested." "How would you like to come to my office" "And discuss how the most popular kid in school" "Should be treated?" "Spectacular." "I can't believe that they're dropping like flies," "Stupid steroid pumping flies." "I'm going to have a scholarship before sixth period." "Let's get 'em." "It's going to be written in the history books" "As one of the most brilliant crimes of the century." "The football killer rocks." "The so-called football killer has sent waves of shock" "To the entire student body." "A scared and baffled faculty is beginning to accuse Principal" "Martin Caste of incompetence." "Principal Caste, how are you responding" "To accusations that you're not qualified to run this school?" "Lucy, heh-heh, this is a small suburban school" "With a limited budget." "There's just, uh, so much that you can do" "And I want to assure everyone that I am doing as best I can." "How are you handling the hall monitor's" "Inability to perform his duty?" "Listen, you little bitch..." "Because of the present situation," "Daniel Kashwood has been removed of... from this case." "What?" "I had to." "I'm following my orders." "Dan, what's it going to be like returning" "To normal school life and..." "I told you once today." "Stick that thing some place else." "What the hell's going on here, Marty?" "Luke, we'll talk later, hm?" "But Dan..." "Uh, Dan..." "I'm sorry, kid." "It's over." "The hell it is." "Dan, what's it going to be like returning" "To normal school life... ah, Dan, that's school property." "I don't care what you have to say publicly, Marty," "But you can't take me off this case." "Sorry, I have to." "No, no." "You don't." "Look, you think I have control here?" "I don't." "I have known you since elementary school." "Don't you think I'd do something if I could?" "Look, you know me better than anybody." "You know this is all I've got." "It's everything." "This job, it's my whole identity." "I mean, you can't take away a teen's identity, right?" "I mean, that'll mess him up for life, right?" "I am just the principal here." "I..." "I don't write the curriculum," "I don't decide the snow days." "I don't run this school." "Impressed?" "You start at this all day?" "I'm impressed you don't get hazard pay." "These are the most popular students this school ever had." "Everyone a legend and everyone counselled by yours truly." "You play your cards right, I put your picture at the top." "Please, do I get to wear the funny suit?" "Babe, you do realize that students beg me" "To be their guidance counselor." "Don't take this the wrong way, babe," "But after I was done with the football team," "I was going to kill you." "Why?" "Well, look at you, you're sleaze personified." "And?" "And you're ruining my school." "You've taken the passive ideology" "Of institutional learning and turned" "It into a violent class struggle," "A bloody popularity contest." "Every student in this school has forsaken education for status," "Traded ethics for self image." "You know, last year, 20 people signed" "My yearbook keep in touch and not one of them" "Returned my phone calls." "And do you know why?" "Because they didn't want to keep in touch." "They just wanted to write what everybody else wrote." "They didn't care about my feelings, only their image." "Well, there's a price to be paid for living without a conscience" "And it's high time it was paid." "You want to be on the student council, don't you?" "What?" "You need an outlet for these ideas of yours." "A column in the school paper." "Have you noticed the unusually high number" "Of dead bodies lying around?" "I have an outlet for my ideas." "You know that, I know that, but nobody else does." "You see, on some deeper level of understanding," "Dead jocks may symbolize retribution for your pain" "And your suffering." "But baby, this is a high school." "You're coming off like a bully." "Really?" "[Knocking]" "Hold that thought." "Ooh." "Oh, hey, babe, how's the investigation?" "I got fired." "No." "Yeah." "Look, do you still want to make a deal?" "Do I want to make a deal?" "Does a cheerleader big tits?" "Yes." "OK, then." "You give me the gun, and I'll give you whatever you want." "Well, you know what I want." "You got it." "OK, in front of the whole school now." "No popping him in the hallway." "I know how you are." "Anything, I just want the gun." "I'll give you more than the gun." "I'll give you..." "I'll be back in about one minute." "Oh, good, you found the gun." "In the fickle land of lies, truth must" "Be maintained through force." "You want a bigger one?" "Who's out there?" "Where?" "Oh, there, that's... my mom." "Listen, if... if you want the school to understand the genius" "Of what you're doing, we've got to explain it to them in a way" "That they can understand." "[Knocking]" "DAN:" "Williams." "Mother a baritone?" "Throat cancer." "[Inaudible]" "I'll be right back." "Uh, sweetheart, settle." "I didn't forget about you." "Give me the gun." "The gun, yeah, right." "See, about that, I can't do it, kid." "But you said..." "Well, that was last period, wasn't it?" "You see, now, if I remember correctly," "It was your decision not to take it." "Yeah, well, I had my head up my ass last period, OK?" "Look, you were right." "Now just give me the piece and everybody gets what they want." "Well, I... really, really, I would like to do that," "But truth is I haven't got it." "[Gunshot]" "Then what was that?" "Car backfiring." "In your office?" "I drive a Yugo." "I don't know what you're trying to pull here, Williams." "But gun or not, I'm going to get this guy," "And then I'm coming after you." "Oh, hey, kid, come on." "It doesn't have to be like this." "I'm on your side." "I don't need anyone on my side." "I don't need the principal and I don't need you." "I only need two things... a gun and a psychopath to use it on." "I never fired one before." "Kinda cool, huh?" "Crazy, look, if we're going to get your idea across," "We'd better do it now while you're still hot." "I can give you the entire student body in one room" "With nothing to do but listen to you tell them what fools" "They are on one condition." "No more football players die." "You're beginning to piss off the hall monitor" "And he is the one person who could ruin all this." "[Laughter]" "What?" "Let's just say the hall monitor's" "Going to be plum sore at me." "Well, what did you expect?" "I'm gone, man." "Wacko." "You girls make me sick." "Just looking at you pansies makes" "Me want to puke all over your pretty, pampered, pussy ass" "Faces." "Now, I can tolerate you failing algebra." "Algebra." "I can tolerate you getting your little girlfriends pregnant." "Can even tolerate losing the game every now and then," "But I will not tolerate you lying down and letting" "Some punk kill you off like a bunch" "Of..." "like a bunch of mama's boy in the honors society." "We are the football team, goddammit." "And if there's killing to be done, well, by God," "We're going to do it." "Right?" "Sir, if I could?" "Shut up, Johnny." "Do you hate me?" "Is that it?" "Huh?" "Because if you do, you'll be happy to know" "That the entire faculty is laughing behind my back." "Sir, please?" "Do you have something to say, Johnny?" "I thought we could take a moment and ask for guidance." "Have you been talking to Maurice Williams?" "There's something funny about that man." "No, no, guidance from above, from the ultimate source" "Of power and knowledge, the Rocky Mountain fever." "Is there something wrong with you, boy?" "Is your momma a Southern Baptist?" "We're not talking about some higher spiritual power." "We're talking about the kicking the living" "Fuck out of some shithead that is making us look like pussies." "TEAM:" "Yeah." "No, no, this is all wrong." "The fever is about love, not anger." "You're disgracing the fever by giving into anger." "Who are you going to listen to... the man who took you" "From prepubescent little wussies to machines of destruction" "Or, ah, Yoda over there?" "Look, whoever comes with me and obeys the fever" "Will be rewarded with love, peace," "And everlasting happiness." "Let's go." "TEAM:" "Hurray, John." "You the man." "[Whistle blowing]" "Free beer." "Free beer for anybody that stays." "TEAM:" "Yeah." "Woo-hoo." "Well, fine, that's more everlasting happiness for me." "All right, team, let's suit up." "All right, men, here's what's going to go down." "Defensive and offensive line, now, you big boys" "Are going to sweep all the classrooms" "From the Vo-Tech, the second floor to the basement." "You see anybody look funny, bring 'em to the cafeteria." "Special teams, you've got all the doors" "Leading to the outside." "Now, the rest of you men, you're going to be right here with me" "In the cafeteria." "When everybody's here, we're going to start kicking ass" "Until somebody confesses or everybody's dead." "TEAM:" "Yeah." "Go kick some ass." "[Choking]" "God's sake, you crazies think you're doing?" "Get up." "I said get up you wussy little weaklings." "No one dies around here until I tell 'em to die." "That's an order." "Get up." "Men, get up." "Free beer." "We're going to lose so bad tonight." "MAURICE (ON PA SYSTEM):" "Attention students of Rocky" "Mountain High, I'm pleased to announce that seventh" "Period has been cancelled." "All students are hereby ordered to report" "To the auditorium in a calm and orderly manner" "For an end of the day assembly." "Thank you." "[Crowd chatter]" "[Applause]" "Maurice, what the hell is going on out there?" "This isn't what I wanted." "We agreed that this would be a forum" "For intellectual debate, not some big high school" "Production." "Hey, babe, this is an assembly, not speech class." "You want 'em to fall asleep?" "This isn't what I wanted." "Staring to get a little old." "Well, how do I look?" "Delicious." "Absolutely scrumptious." "What do you think, kid?" "Do you have a hall pass, son?" "Just how dumb do you think I am?" "OK, now, you ready, kids?" "Remember, you're doing this for all" "The students in all the school districts in America." "Uh, Wendy?" "When this is all over, you want to go out or something?" "Die, freak." "Is that thing on?" "I have a feeling this is going to be big." "Ladies and gentlemen of Rocky Mountain High School," "In preparation for tonight's big game," "Please give it up for our football team," "The Ragin' Rocky Mountain." "[Applause]" "What you see up here may shock you," "But I'm here to tell you that what you don't see" "Is even more shocking." "Everyone in this room is living a lie." "You walk around in a world where the illusion" "Of self-satisfaction looms heavy over the truth of self-worth." "Pretentious." "Sh." "You laugh at the nerd, you make fun of the fat girl," "You shove the geek into a locker." "It makes you feel good, you think it's funny." "Well, let me tell you I've seen life from the inside" "Of a locker and it stinks." "And your laughter prevents you from seeing the pain" "Of your victim, a pain which longs for justice," "For retribution, for vengeance." "Behold my vengeance." "Anybody that feels bad, just raise your hand." "Hey, this guy killed the whole football team." "He's the toughest guy in school." "That's not the point." "You are one bad motherfucker." "CROWD:" "Yeah." "Possibly, but, no, no." "Hey, this mean son of a bitch got us out to class." "Let's hear it for him." "[Applause]" "No, no." "This is all wrong." "Feel bad, feel bad." "What are you going to do?" "Expel me?" "You're wandering the school without a hall pass," "Failing to attend a mandatory school function," "And breaking into the principal's office." "Ha, how would you handle it?" "Five day suspension and a broken nose." "Heh-heh, if you were in a forgiving mood." "I'm getting old, Dan." "Five years ago, I wouldn't let the superintendent" "Push me around this way, conservative bastard." "I knew taking away your gun was a mistake." "It is the only thing that keeps order around here." "You know, the day's not over." "You've always been like a son to me, Dan." "Uh, I mean, except that you're white," "But, um, what I'm trying to say is go on to that assembly." "Kill one for me." "Go on, get out of here." "Day's almost over." "Crazy kid." "You're gonna have a tough time walking to the assembly" "With two broken legs." "We get smarter every time you see us." "This time, we brought weapons, dickhead." "What do you think about that?" "What?" "No catch phrase, no snotty remark?" "I gotta say, I'm a little..." "[Gunshot]" "Pass." "Hey, get away from me." "I'm warning you." "I'm tired of putting up with your shit." "Hey, what are you doing?" "Where are you taking me?" "Home." "I'm king of the school." "I'm standing here face to face with the brutal football" "Killer." "Killer, you have murdered the football team" "And gained acceptance from your peers." "Everybody wants to know, what are you going to do now?" "Well, Lucy, while there's no denying the brilliance of what" "I've done here today, there's still so much more" "To be accomplished." "I mean, there's the basketball team," "The wrestling team, and who else is" "Sick and tired of pop quizzes?" "We can hardly wait." "Go ahead and drop me." "I know you want you." "You are from the high school, I wouldn't" "Expect anything creative." "What's that supposed to mean?" "It means the entire high school," "You included, has two things on their mind, sex and violence." "Wait a second, who are you to bad mouth violence?" "You've been trying to beat me up all day?" "That's pretty violent." "It's a statement." "I'm the victim, you're the bully." "I'm not a violent person." "I've been forced to take violent actions to make a point," "Get it?" "Idiot." "Beating you up isn't violent, it's a comment on violence." "Oh." "[Screaming]" "That's deep, man." "[Applause]" "And... and... and no more homework," "I'll abolish homework." "And no more essay exams." "From now on, it's nothing but multiple choice, baby." "Stop." "This is wrong." "I mean, look at yourselves, look at what you have become." "He killed your friends and now you're cheering for him?" "What about the families of these dead boys?" "Will they be cheering?" "Or what about the fans of high school football?" "Will they be cheering in the stands tonight?" "Or what about the spotted owl?" "[Gunshot]" "I got your spotted owl right here, bitch." "[Applause]" "Save me, save me." "He said he'd kill me if I didn't go along with it." "Don't move, man, or I'll shoot the bitch." "Are you deaf, man?" "I'll do it." "You're looking at a lifetime of in-school suspension" "If you don't drop the gun." "All right, you stupid fuck, you asked for it." "[Gun clicking]" "Look, babe." "Babe, I set up this whole assembly." "What do you expect?" "I'm going to let the bad guy win?" "Looks like you get to go home early." "Stop." "This is wrong." "What have you become?" "He's no better than the killer." "You're simply trading one homicidal maniac for another." "I say we..." "[Gunshot]" "[Applause]" "You got something to say, you raise your hand." "Wait, wait, wait, this solves nothing." "If you kill me, my legend will live on." "I'll become a martyr and others will rise up in my name" "And bring the school to its knees." "What do have to say about that?" "Hm, super." "Uh." "[Bell ringing]" "Huh?" "Maury." "Oh, fuck." "Come on, let's go." "What?" "School's over." "It's time to go home." "For Christ's sake, turn the damn thing off." "It's over." "No, no, wait." "Keep rolling, keep rolling." "Die." "Die, you bad, evil, horrible man, you." "Are you getting this?" "Are you getting this?" "I'm saving the day here." "I hate you." "Let it go, Lucy." "We'll miss the bus." "What did I do wrong?" "I wore the dress, I was vulnerable." "He didn't even kiss me." "I must look pathetic." "Oh, don't worry about it, babe." "We still got each other." "[Crying]" "You OK there, buddy?" "I didn't..." "I didn't hurt you too much, did I?" "Can I ask you a question?" "Yeah, sure." "TEAM:" "What the fuck is wrong with you people?" "They don't teach you anything down in the Vo-Tech, do they?" "This isn't over." "We'll meet again." "I'll see you Monday, dickhead." "Ow." "You were right about one thing." "What's that?" "Everything's a lie in the high school." "It's all image and status." "The whole place is full of shit." "Here, watch this." "Hey, Wendy?" "Do you wanna go out tonight?" "Drop dead, freak." "See?" "It's all bullshit." "You made a mistake when you started believing it." "That's OK." "I know how hard it is when the whole school's" "Cheering for you." "Trust me." "Dude, when you, like, had your gun in his face," "That was so cool, man." "God, I love that." "So everything's just a big lie?" "But I killed the entire football team." "There's got to be a consequence for doing something like that." "Well, you'd think so, wouldn't you?" "But look at me, I kill students every day" "And everybody loves me." "You do realize, of course, that, uh, come Monday," "I'm going to have to take you down." "I think I'll transfer to another school." "Not a bad idea." "Sweetie, over here, let's go." "That's my ride." "I gotta go." "Have a good weekend." "Yeah." "Hi, honey." "How was your day?" "Mom, what did I tell you about pulling" "Up in front of the school?" "It's bad for my image." "My, aren't we in a good mood?" "I'm sorry, Mom." "I've had a real weird day." "You ever feel like you just kind of," "I don't know, forget something?" "Oh, never mind." "What's for dinner?" "Orange 41, green 33." "Can I get a hut 1?" "Can I get a hut 2?" "Hut." "Can I get a hut?" "[Screaming]" "[Music playing]"
