" Ray, taste this." " I don't want to taste it." " No, you must, Ray, please, Ray." " I..." "I have food of my own." " Please, just for Mommy." "Show Mommy." " Don't do this, don't make me do this." "Come on, try a little bite." "One little bite for Mommy." "If you love me, you'll taste a bite." "Come on, taste it, taste it." "It's disgusting, isn't it?" " Somebody said it." " I heard it, too." "The word." "Them." "Who gets to tell 'em off?" "Whoever finishes their drink first." "Come on, dude!" "Done!" "Whose booth?" "My booth." "Is this your first DiMeo sensitivity speech?" "I'll do you proud." "Why, hello there." "Starting quiet, good." "Get them to come to you." "Ooh, a little sass now." "Making it his own." "Wagging his finger..." "Yeah, wish I had that." "Yeah, that's right." "Hand in their face." "They don't get to talk, you get to talk." "He's coming back, efficient." "So, they're never gonna use that word again, right?" "They're having their driveway re-tarred." "Sorry." "Sorry!" "So sorry about that." "Who is this?" "No one told me Daniel Craig uses a wheelchair, or that his best friend was Mr. Ryan Gosling." "Told you Mom would think we look hot." "JJ, I know you shot me down when I offered to trick out your wheelchair for prom with a special disco-mode option." "I respect that." "This button is party-mode." ""No, no, no, no!"" "Why not?" ""I get too much attention at these things." "I want to blend in."" "Well, good luck blending in, 'cause I'm afraid..." "Boop, boop..." "Your gorgeous-mode buttons still work." "Mom, you're embarrassing me!" "Darling, are you sure you don't want Kenneth to help you tonight?" "Oh, he won't need me speaking for him." "He won't be talking much at all once he gets to the bleachers." "You know, under the bleachers?" "Lafayette prom night?" "It's make-out city!" "Bone up on your French!" "Kissing, that is!" "I'll have what they're having." "Who is this for?" "Oh, do seventh-graders go to prom now?" "I'm working refreshments." "Now they tell me I'm just lining up cups of punch." "There's a month of studying Tom Cruise in "Cocktail"" "I'll never get back." "Dang!" "Ugh, balsamic vinegar and egg nog?" " It's really more about the throwing." " Yeah." "Hey, aren't you the guy that got stuck in the school mascot costume?" "I'd like to think of myself as the guy who got out of it." ""Why is she smiling at that?"" "I've heard about this." "I think it's called an aneurysm?" "I'm Riley Mullins." "No, I've seen Riley Mullins." "I just had a bit of a makeover over spring break." "I lost the headgear and got laser eye surgery." "Dude, this is her first day of being hot." "She doesn't realize she's out of you league." " What's that?" " Nothing." "I'm the best you can do." "Let's go." "Well, I'm gonna go stand behind a bar." ""And I'm gonna go blend in with an 800-pound wheelchair."" "Good luck!" "You ready?" "Oh, sorry, JJ." "Hey, everybody, JJ's here." "JJ selfie." "Go, JJ, go, JJ!" "Go, JJ!" "Make some room, JJ dance circle!" "Go, JJ!" "Go, JJ!" "Go, JJ!" "Go, JJ!" "Go, JJ!" "Why is that boy staring at me?" "Ugh." "He's just judging you by your cover." "Hey, she has a great personality!" "It's so loud in here." "We should go find a quiet spot." "Maybe... under the bleachers?" "Oh, I don't know." "I..." "Apparently at this school," ""under the bleachers" is kind of a thing." "I know." "All right, then." "One moment, my lady." "Quick question." "How do you make out?" "Think of your tongue as a toothbrush and just brush her teeth." "Thought so." "Thanks!" "What were you thinking, giving me this?" "I was thinking it was a nice gift." "Don't worry." "I won't make that mistake again." "Sorry, I-I forgot this." "Look, I know it's not my place, but come on, guys." "Don't argue." "Didn't you have plans?" "Go, you know, have fun." "We are." "This is our night." "Fight night." "It's the best!" "We don't like arguing in front of the kids, so when we feel one coming on we write it on a bit of paper and we stuff it in the bottle." "You have a night all to yourselves, and that's how you choose to spend it?" "Yeah, it's fun, isn't it?" "Yeah, we yell, we throw things." "Jimmy has this cute little vein he pops out on his neck." "Stop it." "Your vein is the cute one." "Here, I'll show you." "How ungrateful can you be?" "It was a gift for no occasion." "Oh no, the occasion was, "Congratulations, your fingers are the size of sausages."" "Have you see how big?" "Size of a bloody napkin ring!" "What did I say?" "A-dorable." " Uh..." " Oh, don't judge us." "Are you sure you don't want me to?" "Because I am, and in this argument, you're right." "Do you know, I quite like you being here, Kenneth." "Would you like to stay and judge the rest of our arguments?" "I don't what to say except..." "Judge Kenneth court is now in session." ""Hi." "Are you okay?"" "No, my ex dumped me three days ago, and now she's dancing with some new guy." "Ha, you've realized the truth I've preached for millennia." "Prom sucks." "I'm with you." "I can't believe I thought I'd have fun." "Now I'm stuck here for three hours." ""Why do we have to stay here?"" "Ooh, a prom revolt!" "I'm in." "Are you in, the tall girl?" "Oh, no." "Is this some sort of misfits coming together kind of thing?" "Because I'm cool, just FYI." "Okay, she just mimed spanking him." "I'm in." ""Let's get out of here."" "Lead the way." "By the by, I am Erebus of Nighthollow." "You're not gonna question that?" "This group is awesome!" "I have a confession." "Oh, it's a prank." "Lure me here promising a kiss, then cue the guys in Reagan masks throwing tomatoes." "Fool me twice, shame on Ray." "No." "Uh, the truth is," "I didn't bring you down here to talk." "Oh, I forgot!" "I'm spending the night at Lori's and I forgot my backpack." "My mom's outside with it." "Shoot." "I'll be right back." "Oh, she's perfect." "I'm so sorry." "I'm such a retard!" "Perfect may be an overstatement." "Kiss or leave, nerd!" "Why be tied down, Curtis?" "You're young." "What are you, a sophomore?" " I'm a junior." " Ooh, tick tock." "Marry that chick." "Now scram." "I've got customers." "Hey, Ray." "Where's the girl?" "Riley?" "I'm gonna go back and meet her in a second." "Things are on track." "I mean, there was one tiny thing that kind of bumped me." "What is the Reagan-face kids again?" "What?" "No!" "It was more like she was being self-deprecating, and then she used this dumb word." "She said..." "What?" "!" "Get over here!" "Stop, that's not her!" "Well, she's here, so she'll have to do." "Ew, who still says that?" "I know!" "I-I hate her." "Zero-tolerance." "That is strike one." "Don't." "No, do not give her a second chance." "Stop convincing yourself that that's okay." "What would Mom say?" "She'd go off on her, but she has that luxury." "Mom's physically satisfied by Dad." "I don't have Dad." "What happened to you, man?" "Look, you know I'm right, Ray." "You can't let this go." "Okay." "I'll tell her it's wrong." "She'll see the light, apologize, and then it's back to "Who's your daddy"." "She is." "You love him because he's your brother." "You love him because he's your brother." "I've reached my verdict." "Jimmy does not have to hang out with Maya's cousins." " No!" " Yes!" "Sorry Maya, I was really swayed by Jimmy's point about how hard they suck." "So hard!" "Thank you!" "The fact that Maya would not be able to keep a dog alive is not a reason she shouldn't get one." "The court rules Maya can get a dog." "Yes!" "I'm gonna have a dog for a little bit." "The court orders Jimmy to be a more tender lover." " Boo!" " Ha, ha!" "In your face." "Boo!" "The court, in its infinite wisdom, rules in favor of myyyyy friend Jimmy." "Yeah, I think you're having a bit too much bloody fun with this." "Is Kenneth having too much fun?" "The court rules... no!" "Wow." "This is like, so much better." "No one's asked me, "How's the weather up there?"" "in almost five minutes." "So, what's the plan, JJ?" ""Go hang out somewhere else."" "I like it." "We'll have our own gathering." " "Non-prom!"" " Yeah." "You know, I didn't think you guys were cool." "But you kind of became my best friends." ""Feels fast for that."" " Yeah." " Yeah." "Let's go." "Non-prom pride!" "We don't care what anyone else thinks!" "Non-prom." "Non-prom." "Non-prom." "Non-prom." "Ray!" "I'm back here." "Follow the sound of my lips." "Man, this girl has got it goin' on!" "Before we return to the main event," "I have something to say." "Earlier, a word was spoken that kind of threw me." "You said "retard."" "What?" "Uh..." "Oh." "I didn't mean it literally." "I meant, like, "dumb."" "Oh." "So you're sorry." "Great." "Apology accepted." "I wouldn't say I'm sorry." "I didn't intend it as offensive." "It's not my fault that, in today's culture, people get upset by anything." "Should we censor ourselves simply because some unseen P.C. "they" might get upset?" "That seems un-American." "Your argument is so pretty." "I'm captain of the debate team." "This is kind of my thing." "What's your counter-argument?" "Uh... my family gets really mad when they hear that word." "My brother has cerebral palsy?" "I didn't know that." "Does he have a developmental disability as well?" "No." "He..." "He's cognitively typical?" "Then that doesn't seem to apply." "But still." "My family says..." "But what do you think?" "I think I think what... they think?" "I think." "Consider my logic..." ""A," my intention was benign," ""B," language is evolving, and "C," that's a good thing, as it robs a hurtful word of its power." "You really say words good." "You want to take a quick five?" "All right." "Sounds good." "Good call." "I've never had teachers' potato chips before." ""They're better."" "They really are." ""C-plus"?" "!" "C-plus this, Mr. Leonards." "JJ, you throw one hell of a non-prom." "What else should we do?" "Ooh, maybe we could put on some music?" "Oh, I love this song." "Caroline, Is there dancing at prom?" "Well, yeah, but..." "So there's no dancing at non-prom." "JJ, permission to expel Caroline from non-prom?" ""I'm not your leader." "And also, permission denied."" "Damn it." "Guys, it's okay." "If music is that big of an issue," "I can just go hang out by myself, I guess." "That's very thoughtful of you, Caroline." "Goodbye!" "We found these fireworks on a hike in the woods." "I don't hate fun, so I wanted to set them off." "What's wrong with that?" "You were a father." "And you were a mother, but not mine!" "All right." "All right." "I've heard enough." "The court rules in favor of Jimmy." " Why?" " Precedent." "This court has been consistently pro-things that make loud noise and are awesome." " That is true." " Oh." "Bottle's empty." "Time flies when you're screaming at your wife for sport." "Oh, no." "That can't be it." "Fight about something else." "Come on." "We've had our fun." "Nah." "Come on, Jimmy." "But there's so much stuff you haven't covered." "The way she..." "She always loses things." "And... and... and..." "And her lousy driving." "Do I detect a new opponent?" "Judge Jimmy." "Do I get to use Kenneth's gavel?" "I'd say so." "I'll allow it." "Let's do this thing." "Bring it on, Maya." "Let's see what you got." "Oh." "Yeah, I got one." "You do sometimes help yourself to our food a bit too readily." "Oh!" "I see!" "'Cause your cooking is such a prize?" "!" "Are you calling me fat?" "!" " No." " You know what?" "!" "Burn in hell!" "Yo, I'm out of here!" "Agh." "That would've been the perfect time to bang this." "No." "See?" "Too late." "She made some really good points." "She wants to kiss you, Ray." "How right can she be?" ""You guys see a tall girl?"" "I mean, I guess I'm pretty tall." "What do you need?" "Wait." "Actually." "We need you to weigh in on something." "His little girlfriend said the "R" word." "Oh." "I see." "Just because JJ has a disability, we should force him to be arbiter of all things disability." "Nice." "Look who's so sensitive now." "A real champion of the movement." "He still wants to kiss her." ""Then kiss her."" " Really?" " Really?" ""I hate that word, but Ray deserves this one." "He's a good brother." "He has his whole life to educate people." "This is his one chance to kiss a girl."" "Insulting, but accurate." "That's, like, the most generous thing anyone's ever done for me." "I'm gonna be kissing her, but I'm gonna be thinking of you." "So you got your permission." "It looks like the only person left you need to ask if it's okay... is you." "Oh, let me check." "Uh, he's good with it." "Sorry." "I... forgot my phone this time." "Don't know what's happened to my memory." "Perhaps I've eaten it like everything else." "I didn't mean any offense." "I mean, you saw Jimmy and me going back and forth." "I-I-I think it kicked up a few things that I've been feeling." "Clearly, your situation is different." "You know where you guys stand." "But us..." "Where are we going?" "Where are we?" "What are we doing?" "I don't know." "I mean, uh..." "I thought we were just, you know..." "A-Are we really having this conversation?" "Oh, you think it's early?" "Mm." "It's not a timing question." " It's coming up on a year." " A great year." "I mean, we have a lot of fun." ""We have fun."" "This could all go away..." "like that." "JJ's last aide..." "Oh." "Yeah." "I heard about her." "That was different." "She's not you." "Please." "Don't flatter me." "I'm in this." "Deep." "And I'd like some reassurance that you feel the same way." "Uh, you know what?" "Just... forget it." "Kenneth." "You know, it all sounded different in my head." "I-I should go." "Oh, baby, no!" "Come back!" "You been working on your argument?" "Enough talk." "Riley, it's your lucky day." "Take me." "Don't do it, Ray." "Go away, Dylan." "You really think this is acceptable?" "You go away, too, random British lady who could be anyone!" "JJ okayed it." "Yes, JJ, who's intelligent" " and shouldn't be called..." " No." "It's not about JJ and that not being an accurate description of him." "What about people who do think a different way or at a different pace?" "Should we reference them in a nasty way when we do something dumb 'cause we think it's cute?" "Wait." "Am I forming my own opinion?" "Well, it's a hell of a time to do that!" "Just kiss her." "She's so hot." " Shut up." " You shut up." "Uhh." "No!" "I can't do it." "Look, what you said upset me." "I was always told that word was wrong, and... and I never thought about why." "And now I have." "So thanks..." "I guess." "You can say whatever you want, and that's cool, but no tongue that says that word can brush my teeth." "Wow." "It's not the most logical argument, but that passion..." "You really made me think." "Then think." "I mean, we're in no rush." "We got all the time in the world." "Are there any singles in here lookin' to mingle?" "Whoa." "Who are you?" "Riley?" "I sit behind you in science." "Riley Mullins?" "You are crazy hot with straight teeth." " I am?" " Uh..." "I guess." "Does that matter?" "Come on." "My ex is three piles down." "Let's go make out next to her." "Sorry, Ray." "This just seems easier." "If it helps, you really made me think." "It doesn't." "At all." "Oh." "Hey." ""For someone who hates prom, you sure seem to like it."" "I mean, yeah." "I like the idea of it." "I love dancing." "I'm just kinda self-conscious." ""Go." "It will be fun."" "Well, I don't see you in there." ""Caroline, would you like to go to prom with me?"" "Okay." "W-What is this?" "And why did Jimmy have so many sleep masks for me to choose from?" "Kenneth, it would mean the world to us if you would do us the incredible honor of promising to be a part of our family for a long, long time." "I know we play a little hard-to-get sometimes, but we've really fallen for you." "As a symbol of our commitment, we'd like you to have this thoughtful, but clearly man's, ring." "Huh." "Cool." "What? "Huh." "Cool." That's it?" "We just gave you a fireworks proposal." "How are you not moved to tears?" "I mean... it's cute." "But Jimmy you were looking for an excuse to shoot off these fireworks." "And you want to get rid of this ring." "Hang on." "You barge in, hijack our night, we bloody propose to you, and you can't even pretend to be moved?" "I've waited 15 years to set these suckers off." "We finally do it, in your honor, and I don't even get to see them 'cause I'm looking at your unmoved face." "Oh, look at you." "Veins poppin' out for me." "Such irrational anger." "I'm a DiMeo." " Ugh, I'm going to bed." " Me too." "Give me this." "It fits." "I accept!" "Hey, tall girl!" "Hey, how's the weather up there?" "Hey." "Get your head out of the clouds." "I feel everyone's eyes on me." ""Wait here."" "If you're hearing this..." "JJ has come to his senses and hit the button." "Let's hear it!" "JJ!" "JJ!" "JJ!" "Dance circle!" "Excuse me?" "Is this where I'm supposed to come for the free telescope giveaway?" "Hello?" "Oh, no." "Not again." "Damn it, Ray." "When will you learn there's no such thing as a free telescope?" "Okay." "Well played, Reagans." "You guys..." "You guys always find a way." "All right." "All right." "All right." "You've had your fun now." "Nice work." "See ya next time." "Missed." "Missed." "Missed." "Missed me."
