"So, how do you interview a guy for a job like this?" "What, do I send for your school records," "Ask for references?" "Hey, man, listen, forget the red tape, ok?" "I'm considering a lot of other offers." "Yeah, you two should exchange brain scans." "I mean, you're both nuts." "Don't worry, I got an instinct for these things." "Yeah, right." "Uh, I'll cover your monthly expenses," "And there's a $5,000 bonus once I get my diploma." "5,000 bucks?" "All right, 10,000, but that's it."

"Look, he can't do any worse than me." "I mean, 7 years, and I still haven't graduated." "Yeah, good for you." "But he doesn't even fit in, you know?" "You don't even know this guy." "He may stay a week and decide to take off, huh?" "Wrong." "Did you see the way" "He was looking at my porsche?" "Besides, I don't have time to find anybody else." "Hang on a second, chief." "Look, who else can I turn to?" "You're my best friend." "Yeah." "I'm your only friend." "Now, look, as I see it, you know, uh..." "Everyone's getting something out of this here but me."

"Great names." "And if I may say," "That is a great outfit, Woodrow." "We were admiring it when you came in." "That is genuine ban-lon, isn't it?" "Uh, very nice." "It almost feels like something real." "Boy:" "Ha ha ha ha." "Gosh, I-I really hate to bring this up," "But, uh, Rand, did you tell Woodrow that he's a smack?" "Oh, he's a senior." "He's a senior, Bif." "What's a smack?" "He's still new." "What's a smack?" "Smack's a freshman or-or any new kid." "Right." "Now, blimp here, well, blimp's a senior," "But he's also the floor demo model." "Hit it, blimp." "Boy:" "Ha ha." "That'll be all." "Now, smacks must come to attention like that" "Whenever a senior passes," "And a smack must always be prepared to sing a song." "You do know the song?" "It's your first day." "We're gonna let it go." "But you teach him, Rand." "It's on your shoulders." "Good to see you again, Bif." "See you, buddy." "I'll be talking to you guys later." "What the hell were you doing?" "I mean, you are supposed to be Palmer Woodrow." "You're supposed to fit in and lose your stupid personality." "You are supposed to be a preppy," "Or else we can kiss our money good-bye." "Oh, our money?" "Yes, yes." "I have a stake in this, too, all right?" "And you're gonna fit in, because I'm not gonna lose it," "Nor am I gonna take any crap from you" "When you screw up." "Now, I'm allergic to cancer, so quit smoking." "Rand:" "All right, lesson one" "Preppy-come-lately," "Preppy-come-never," "Preppy-forever." "Socks-wear them only to weddings," "And then, well, only if it's your own." "This duck is preppy, all right?" "This duck is not." "This woman is preppy." "Thank you very much." "This man is not."

"Eddie:" "Preppies must get beat up a lot." "Rand:" "Are you listening to me?" "Wear as many layers as possible," "But not enough to remind you you have any armpits." "You look great." "Things should look neat but never new, all right?" "Isn't this a great store?" "I mean, you should be proud." "Today we single-handedly" "Destroyed the polyester industry." "Ha ha ha." "Uh, now, that's not very preppy." "Well, men..." "Ha ha!" "And-and I call you men" "Because that's exactly what you are" "When you register as seniors here at Hoover academy." "One of you sitting here is gonna be the recipient" "Of this year's annual Hoover memorial award." "The symbol of academic and social achievement." "I-I ask you, men, isn't that exciting?" "I-I find it exciting." "As exciting as the sense of tradition and honor" "That the name Hoover embodies." "Sounds like coach Wordman." "Wordman:" "I have got tattoos you wouldn't believe," "In uncharted regions." "hello!" "What's going on here?" "Harriman:" "I'm welcoming the seniors." "What's going on there?" "Is it September already?" "Sir, excuse me," "But this is the proctor for the senior dorm?" "Why, he's not setting a very good example." "I totally agree with you." "I don't think you understand, sir." "These ladies' car ran out of gas." "I'm merely letting them use my phone." "Let's have a little bit of compassion." "What do you think these are?" "I'm just filling them up with gasoline" "To bring back to the car." "Ahem, but now that I see these ladies in the light," "I realize they are not women of high moral integrity." "A couple of woof-woofs." "So let's get out of here right now, please." "Perhaps I should be sure" "That they are removed from the premises, sir." "Hurry back." "I'm gonna have to." "I've only got about 11 minutes left on my hour." "Great." "Hey, wait, wait." "Wait, let me help." "Wait a minute." "You're not going anywhere, young man." "Just sit down, Mr., uh..." "Woodrow, Woodrow, Palmer Woodrow." "Look, it's my only ride into town." "You're not going into town." "Why?" "Or you're gonna have girls come here?" "'cause this place, it's very nice," "But it's very boring." "This is an all-boys preparatory school, Mr. Woodrow." "Boy:" "First call for breakfast!" "First call for breakfast!" "First call for breakfast!" "Let's go, this is it." "First day." "We got 20 minutes to shower and dress." "Wake me when it's first call for lunch." "Ohh." "Ohh!" "Oh, thorndike." "Good to see you." "Good to see you." "What do you think of this fall weather we're having?" "No, I don't like it." "I bought this for you." "It's the weirdest color" "Come on." "Wow." "Did you see that?" "I'm sorry, I don't see anybody." "We're gonna be late." "Come on." "Now, uh, take out your homework" "And-and pass it to the front." "Excuse me, professor mueller," "But this is the first day of class." "You haven't assigned any homework yet." "Ah, yes, of course." "You seem to have some papers in your hand." "Perhaps you'd like to pass them out?" "Ah." "Ah." "Oh, yes." "Of course." "Of course." "Now, what you have there" "Is a-a psychological profile." "Uh, fill it out." "Then write an essay about yourself." "How do you spell "parole"?" "There are no right or wrong answers." "Simple." "A child could do it." "Boy:" "Uh, lookit." "I think this guy's getting ready to blast off." "Hey, guys, guys." "Excuse me here." "I find this embarrassing" "That we cannot show more respect" "To a teacher than this." "Sir, on behalf of Hoover academy," "Well, I apologize." "Boy:" "Yeah, me, too." "Now, unless all overhead is dramatically curbed" "Or there's a marked increase in alumni contributions," "Hoover academy faces financial disaster." "What overhead?" "My family gave the land and built most of the buildings." "You haven't even changed a light bulb in 10 years." "Do you have any idea what a financial challenge it is" "Running this institution?" "Well, if it's that much of a challenge," "Why don't you just close the doors?" "Well, I..." "I-I-I" "I'm afraid I must agree with mother." "Our family has invested more than its fair share" "In the school." "It's time the burden was shared by others." "Well, yeah, I quite agree, but" "Well, then do something about it." "Hoover prep can always become" "Hoover village condominiums." "Uh..." "Well, uh" "Ok, everybody get their overcoats." "Woman in film:" "Come to me." "Ok." "Now what we have here is the fame masked intruder." "Come to me." "Take me." "Hey." "Come on." "4 bucks." "Take a seat down front." "2 bucks?" "Cover one eye." "Ok." "What can we learn from this?" "Well, height obviously has nothing to do" "With genital size." "Or shape." "All right, you guys, what's going on in" "Woman:" "Come on." "Oh, my god." "Coach." "That's 4 bucks." "No, no." "I'm not enrolled in this course." "I'm only auditing." "All right, guys, move over." "Oh, god, that's wonderful." "Now it's time to rate the date." "Woman:" "like that!" "Sir, I'm very, very sorry to disturb you like this," "And, well, you know how much I hate" "To inform on a fellow student," "But I feel the reputation of the Hoover academy" "Is at stake here." "Oh, boy." "Uh, thomas?" "You gave them a 7." "Now, why did you give them a 7?" "7?" "7, what, are you nuts?" "How old are you, kid?" "14." "Oh." "No, that was a 9." "Take my word for it." "That was a 9." "Harriman:" "All right, what's going on here, huh?" "A national geographic film?" "You guys can't kid me!" "Now, let's get up and out of here." "I'm not gonna tell you again." "All of yas, up, come on, move." "I am surprised at you." "I expected a little more out of you." "Get out of here." "What kind of behavior is th" "They told me it was a national geograph-kids." "Rand:" "Jeez, you know, Harriman can just suspend you," "So please shape up." "I don't know what you're so worried about." "I'm-I'm a hit!" "A hit!" "People are noticing me!" "Yeah, but you see, that's my whole point." "I mean, the perfect credo's not to be noticed," "To have a sense of, I don't know," "Discipline or tradition." "Woodrow, how you doin'?" "There's a Muffy Newhouse looking for you." "What's a Muffy?" "You know Muffy." "You know..." "Muffy." "Yeah." "Muffy." "Now, this is Palmer's longtime girlfriend." "You gotta be careful, ok?" "Don't worry." "Ok?" "Well, just watch what you say, all right?" "Yo, Muffy." "Yo." "Pardon me." "Nice car." "Did you buy this new?" "Are you trying to be amusing?" "Whoever you are." "Bif." "Bif hamilton." "Well, fetch Palmer for me, Bif." "This is just the most wonderful surprise for him" "Me stopping by on my way to mount hollyhock." "Well, actually," "Palmer has a most wonderful surprise for you." "You see, he's not here." "He left campus for a little while." "Damn." "You tell him I was here." "Which is where I expect him to be" "The next time I come through." "Man:" "Hey, slow down, jack." "Don't litter on campus." "Coach:" "Let's go, you guys!" "When the going gets tough, the tough get going." "If I can stand a regiment, so can you." "Let me have a beer." "You kiddin'?" "Get back in there." "You're in rotten shape for a teenager." "Well, you're in pretty rotten shape for a phys ed instructor." "You kiddin'?" "I'm in rotten shape for a human." "It's not my fault, though." "I was born before jogging was invented." "What is your story?" "You're not exactly Mr. Alligator shirt." "No story." "You remind me a lot of myself when I was your age." "You remind me a lot of myself now." "Look, get back in there." "Do, uh..." "Do one of somethin'." "Great." "Hit the showers." "Yo, Palmer." "You guys disgust me!" "Hello, pizzas-are-us?" "Yes, do you have volume discounts?" "Oops." "Nope." "No points, no points." "Oh, come on." "I told you." "You get one point for a direct hit." "You get 2 points if you draw blood." "You just grazed him." "It doesn't count." "All right." "Ok, watch this." "The pro." "All right." "What is this?" "Bowling for dullards?" "You guys picking' on the blimp again?" "Nice." "Oh, no, coach, we're not pickin' on him." "We just want him to feel wanted." "Right, blimp?" "Oh, sure, yeah." "This is the very reason" "Why god created fat, neurotic adolescents." "Right, coach?" "Blimp:" "Aah!" "2 points."

"A few last-minute tips." "When you meet a girl, compliment her." "And nothin' obvious like, "wow, nice dress. "" "Say something different." "When you say somethin' different," "They think you mean it." "Also, use her name a lot." "Girls really get off on that." "With a line like..." ""gee, Muffy, I really like your panty-hose,"" "That'll work out great, right?" "You get that far, you don't need a line." "You should start looking for signs of arousal." "What signs?" "Ripping off their panties." "Yeah, there's a hint." "Also, nipples." "They're a dead giveaway." "They're kind of like" "The plastic tab on a purdue chicken." "Pop up to let you know when they're ready." "Ha ha ha." "Coach, they've got medicine for that, you know." "What?" "Well, whatever it is you're trying to kill down there." "All right." "All right, guys." "In a few minutes, you're gonna line up" "To meet your hostess of the evening." "Be polite." "Be gentlemen." "No pushing, no shoving." "Take the girl that they assign to you" "No matter what she looks like." "Remember, dogs have feelings, too." "All right." "Now, let's go, huh?" "Coach:" "Let's go!" "I hate these things."

"What are you guys doin'?" "I can't see!" "Come on!" "Come back!" "I can't see anything." "Look, will you just give me 'em?" "Oops." "Oh, come on, Rand." "Dunk for 'em." "Come on." "Look..." "Ha ha ha!" "You geeks dunk for them." "Oh, buzz off, Palmer." "Or do you want to dunk for 'em?" "Sure." "Oh, right." "Captain flashdance." "¶ dum, dum, dum, to the rescue ¶" "¶ dum, dum, dum, dum ¶" "You have had it, buddy!" "Get him!" "Get him!" "Hey, you know, no one's ever really" "Stuck up for me like that before." "Thanks." "Was that part of the preppy credo, too?" "Come on." "God..." "That Palmer is such an ass." "Harriman:" "When you attend a function," "Like that dance last night," "You don't just represent yourself," "You represent Hoover academy," "Which made your actions even that much more offensive." "Do you understand what I'm saying?" "You're all dismissed, except for you, Mr. Woodrow." "Well, it hasn't taken you long" "To become a disruptive element around here, has it," "Mr. Woodrow?" "Well, I'm a fast worker." "Do you get cable here?" "'cause look." "Whoa." "A lot of snow here." "I mean, it must be the antenna." "You're testing me, right?" "Huh?" "Want to find out how far your boundaries go?" "And how far you can push." "You see?" "Yeah, I know about those things." "So, let me give you an answer." "You can't push too far, so straighten up," "Because right now your toe's on the line" "With old darby Harriman here." "Out." "Rand:" "Look, if you impress tracy enough" "To be invited to the Hoover ball," "You better learn from the master" "How to behave." "That's great." "Now watch." "You have to walk the right way in a dinner jacket, all right?" "Yeah, that's it." "That's good." "That's good, too, blimp." "All right." "Oh, that's great." "You see how he did it?" "I mean, you don't just, like, stick it in your face," "Light it, and suck." "You gotta have style with it." "Yeah, like that." "That's good." "Bartender:" "May I help you, sir?" "Chivas and soda, please." "You look like a chivas man." "Nothing for me." "I don't indulge." "Well, Mr. Woodrow, I've read about your father." "He's somewhat of an industrial mystery man," "Isn't he?" "Well, he is to me, sir." "Say, did you tie this thing?" "Wow!" "You did!" "That's a bitch." "You ought to invest in one of these." "It's only a few dollars," "But it's well worth it, sir." "Proves my point." "Money can't buy breeding." "I'd say you can't rent it, either." "Excuse me, madam." "Wonderful gathering." "Wonderful gathering." "Hi." "Hi." "Your father talks great." "Is he a foreigner?" "Uh, no." "Close, though." "He did go to harvard." "Eddie:" "Great ducks." "You like them?" "Those are the famous peabody ducks." "They live upstairs on the roof," "And every morning, they come down" "To play in the fountain." "Hey, yo, duck." "Are you preppy or regular?" "Quack!" "God, these things are so cute." "Oh, they're even cuter with a bing cherry sauce." "What's wrong, Woodrow?" "The bowling leagues didn't meet tonight?" "Bif." "Palmer, we're going up to the ballroom now, ok?" "Mother." "Go ahead on up." "I'll be right up." "Could you please take this?" "Hey!" "Hey." "If it makes you feel any better," "You're not the first person to do that." "Well, it doesn't." "Why don't you go up with your friends?" "Why?" "Because I'm not going upstairs like this" "And be the party dork." "Ah." "Well, it is gonna be pretty boring." "I really don't feel like going up myself." "It is a shame to waste all these nice clothes." "Come on." "Why don't we do something really elegant?" "Yeah." "I love this kind of food, 'cause you never have to clean up." "I don't have to clean up." "What does yours say?" ""oh, a-boy," "A-you are going to a-score tonight. "" "Mine says," ""oh, a-boy," "Is this guy you're with a dreamer or what?"" "What." "You know, you don't seem like a Palmer Woodrow." "What does that mean?" "You know." "Palmer Woodrow." "It's just too stuffy for words." "you're not like that." "You're..." "Human?" "Yeah." "Well, Palmer Woodrow is my nickname." "Eddie is my real name." "Eddie?" "Well, actually, um, Eddie's my middle name." "Palmer "Eddie" Woodrow?" "I think I'll call you Palmer." "Besides, I don't think my parents" "Would let me date an Eddie." "Would they let you kiss one?" "Mr. Hoover:" "Mr. Woodrow." "I think we've seen quite enough of you tonight." "Bif:" "Well, you know how I hate" "To talk about a fellow student, sir," "But, uh, it's Palmer Woodrow." "Get to the point, hamilton." "He's just not our kind." "And it pains me" "To see the Hoover image stained like this." "Stained?" "Stained." "Besmirched." "Especially when Hoover's in such need of contributions." "Why, when I told my father what happened last night," "He said he didn't know if he could support a school" "That would tolerate a Palmer Woodrow." "All right, hamilton, what did happen last night?" "Well, gosh, sir, I hate to, uh..." "Hamilton!" "Woodrow got very drunk last night" "At the, uh, Hoover charity ball." "He humiliated the students and the Hoovers." "Believe me, sir, all the Hoovers want to see him out." "Come on!" "Get out of there!" "Would you- move over to the" "Stupid game." "Mccrowsky, get over here!" "Right there!" "Uhh!" "Uhh!" "Uhh!" "Get back to the bench!" "Come on, we've got it!" "Attention!" "Attention!" "You guys suck!" "Hoover!" "Hoover!" "Hoover!" "What the hell is Woodrow doing?" "Diversionary tactic, sir?" "Hey!" "He's crazy." "He's cute, though." "Yeah." "He's real cute." "She's got her eye on Palmer." "Look at that ass Woodrow." "Get-what are you doing with that?" "All right, get in there." "And try not to fall down again." "Aah!" "Eddie:" "Yo!" "Let's show him some fancy stick work, huh?" "Wise up, asshole." "Isn't this a terrific surprise?" "Muffy drove all the way from mount hollyhock." "Shame she missed Palmer, huh?" "So, uh, we'll entertain her." "What do you say, buddy?" "Poor baby." "God, you have terrible posture." "I'm always telling Palmer to stand up straight." "You take it easy, buddy." "See you later?" "Look..." "I want to explain about that girl." "Ha." "There's no explanation needed." "I just didn't think she was your type." "She's not." "You are." "Look, I-I want to go out with you tonight." "well, I'm busy." "Come on, let's go." "Forever?" "Tracy." "Tracy, come on!" "Tracy!" "Everybody out here!" "It's fire drill!" "Fire drill time!" "Let's make it quiet." "Let's make it quick." "All right?" "Go!" "Code blue." "Come on." "17 minutes and 11 seconds" "For a fire drill?" "I am disappointed." "Boy:" "Move over." "Have you seen Palmer anywhere?" "Uh-uh." "Blimp:" "Oh, god." "Rand." "Tracy:" "Hello?" "Eddie:" "Hi, tracy." "shit." "I don't have anything to say to you, ok?" "Tracy." "Palmer." "Tracy." "Tracy, come here." "If people have enough money," "They ought to be taught how to spend it properly." "Tracy, would you kindly inform Palmer Woodrow" "That you understood his admiration" "After the first 6 dozen roses?" "Anything more is wretched excess." "Tracy:" "Oh, Palmer." "When you told me how much you loved riding," "I couldn't remember whether you said" "You preferred a hunter-jumper," "A tennessee walker," "Or just a good old-fashioned trail horse." "It doesn't matter." "We're going to have time to do everything." "Regis." "Regis:" "Yes." "Tracy:" "Mr. Woodrow here is an expert rider." "Regis:" "Why don't you mm-hmm." "Saddle up" "Chained lightning for him, ok?" "You're going to love this horse." "He's great." "I'll meet you outside, ok?" "I'll saddle the motherfucker," "But I sure hope you got life insurance." "Um..." "Whoa, whoa, lightning." "It's me, regis." "I ain't going to play with you now." "You got anything old and slow" "In maybe a white, a light brown?" "You don't know a damn thing about horses, do you?" "Well, that's not true." "That, uh, thing" "That big thing that she was on out there," "That's a horse, right?" "That ain't no horse." "This is a horse." "Heh heh heh heh!" "You know, acting crazy ain't going to help you none." "Yeah, but if I break my leg," "I'm not going to have to ride him." "Chained lightning's going to break more than that." "Tracy:" "I'm going to go warm up buttercup." "Easy." "What are these for?" "You steer with them." "But most important," "Pull hard to stop" "Real hard." "How do you make it move?" "All you got to say" "Is g-o." "Just say go?" "aah!" "This is how you take a boot off." "Turn around." "No, no." "Face the other way." "Come on." "Trust me." "Now you-you pull," "I'll push." "Ready?" "Yeah?" "Ok." "Yeah." "Now, I don't want to put your horse" "Put your horse down or anything," "But it's got no heart." "See, it just saw that flock of cobras," "And, I don't know, it just jumped up," "Reared, and just threw me." "Oops." "Cobras, my ass." "regis..." "Why did you bring 3 glasses?" "Well, I thought he might want some." "Regis..." "Haven't you got something to do?" "I'm doing it." "Look..." "You don't have to pretend for me." "What?" "I know all about you" "And your family." "What-what do you mean?" "My father told me." "The sense of tradition" "And social belonging" "And feeling comfortable with your wealth" "It all comes in time." "You don't have to feel embarrassed," "And you don't have to try to impress me" "Just because you come from new money." "You see," "What's important is that you are what you are." "You're genuine." "That's what I like about you." "Yeah, me, too." "Ha ha ha ha!" "Regis." "I'm going, I'm going." "Uh, holler if you want any more."

"Yeah, I was gonna..." "I was gonna call you, you know?" "You've caused me a great deal of hurt," "Not to mention" "Causing Nicky a great deal of pain." "Yeah, well, I was going to come and see you." "I mean, there was" "I don't doubt it." "I don't doubt it." "Shut your mouth when I talk to you." "Get over here." "We've got a problem." "You see, you owe me" "$10,625." "3,700." "Interest." "Are you prepared at this point in time" "To make full restitution?" "When you say "at this point in time," do you mean now?" "Yeah." "No." "Eddie, not good." "Wrong answer." "You know, you look like a fish when I do" "Look at him." "Look, like a gup" "Hey, you punks can be hamburger meat" "In 60 seconds." "Cop a walk." "The beauty of it is, they think I'm kidding." "Heh heh heh!" "I crack myself up, you know that?" "Listen, Eddie, Eddie," "I understand you're being paid a considerable sum" "To attend Hoover academy." "No." "I get the money when I graduate." "The interest alone will bury you," "But I'll tell you what" "You're enterprising." "Find a way." "You got 72 hours." "Eddie:" "Ok, 9." "9's the point." "The point is 9." "Earn while you learn, boys." "Earn while you learn." "Give it a little touch here." "Yeah." "Boy:" "Lights out." "Lights out." "All:" "Aw..." "Boy: 7." "That's a loser." "I thought 7 was a winner." "Only on the come out one." "Ok?" "Only on the come out one." "But a 7 is very close." "It's very close." "You're getting the hang of this game." "Come on, sidney, give it a try." "Try it."

"Somebody want to get the first aid kit?" "And a mop." "Let me say once again" "That whatever grant your foundation designates" "For the Hoover academy," "It'll be greatly appreciated" "And immediately reflected in improvements" "That will impact student life." "We want to thank you again for coming." "It's just a pleasure to have you on the campus." "Take a look at our facility." "And by the way, let me remind you" "About the reception tonight." "Be sure to attend." "It'll give you a chance" "To meet some of the other faculty members," "As well as some of our representative students." "Yeah." "Rand:" "Well, maybe this dice man character" "Will take a check." "Oh, oh, Muffy called you earlier." "You mean Palmer or Bif?" "Palmer." "She's pissed because you've been avoiding her." "Said she'd be here this weekend" "For a confrontation." "Heh heh." "What's the difference?" "I'm going to be dead by this weekend anyway." "Palmer:" "¶ la la la la la ¶" "¶ la la la la la ¶" "Hey!" "Bonjour, boys." "Palmer, what-what are you..." "What the hell are you doing here?" "Yeah." "I'm checking up on my investment." "Do you mind?" "Hey, who is reading this?" "I mean, give me a break, will ya?" "Emily post does not know dick about etiquette." "I've been through this whole book," "And there's not one chapter on farting." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Man, this is pinpoint oxford." "Well, aren't you Mr. Hoity-toity?" "I thought you were in europe" "Or in a turkish prison or something." "Paris ain't all it's cracked up to be" "In the springtime, mon frere." "Besides, it's amazing" "How suspicious your parents can get" "When you're using their credit cards, you know?" "Mm-hmm." "Hey, Rand, will you get your skinny ass" "Off my fries, please?" "Aw, look at that." "God." "Palmer..." "You know," "You being here," "You may be able to solve a few problems." "Yeah?" "Like what?" "Like Muffy, who has been looking for you" "All year long." "And what else?" "Who's this guy, the auto shop teacher?" "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" "Hey, the 72 hours isn't up yet." "Auto shop teacher?" "Heh." "How amusing." "Heh heh heh." "Get over here." "Rand:" "Wait, you can't-aah!" "What's this, gumby goes to school?" "Get over here." "If you don't kill me," "I'll buy you a new gold chain." "Save your money for a pine box." "Get in here." "Eddie." "I don't have the money that you want," "So you're wasting your time and your very fine wardrobe." "You know, Eddie," "It greatly disturbs me that being in my presence" "Makes you want to shit in your pants." "This is a celebration." "I have made a momontous decision." "After consultating with Nicky," "I find the only way I have to collect my money" "Is if you graduate, am I correct?" "Yes." "Fine." "Now, because I love you like a brother" "And I mean that, Eddie." "It comes from the heart." "I mean it" "The left aorta, the vein that pumps love." "I'm gonna cut you a deal." "You're to collect $10,000 when you graduate." "Keep 50 bucks for yourself," "And I get the rest." "50 bucks?" "Now, you're not being released" "Totally on your own recognizance." "I mean, you've been known to screw up in the past." "For this very reason," "Nicky and myself will remain" "To make sure you do not so choose" "To do so again." "Um, I-I don't think" "That this is a very good decision." "I, however," "Think it's a brilliant idea" "Brilliant." "Is there now a full understanding" "Between all parties concerned, Eddie?" "Uh, if that means you and me," "Yes." "Good." "Let us now commence... celebrating." "Dice:" "Yo, we ran out of chicks." "Hey, dice, dice." "You know, if I get kicked out," "You're not going to get any of your money." "What, you can't have a little fun?" "I'm going to entertain your friends." "What are you worried about?" "Here." "Don't worry about it." "Everybody out, ok?" "Just-just- just go, ok?" "All:" "Ooh." "Rand:" "Help!" "Ah ha!" "Ah ha!" "Ah ha!" "Palmer, help!" "¶ this is the end ¶" "Mommy!" "¶ you make your choice, and now the chance is over ¶" "¶ I thought I was in ¶" "¶ you put me down and see I'm goin' nowhere ¶ would you lay off the skull?" "I-I-I work a long time on my head," "And you rattle my brains." "It-I get confused, you know what I mean?" "It's good stuff." "Ha ha." "This must be the building." "Hear the music?" "It must be upstairs." "My, it's awfully loud, isn't it?" "Well, Mr. Harriman said there'll be some students here." "I guess that's why." "You know, I have very good feelings" "About this school." "And I'm usually right about these things." "You should be paying me to go here, man." "You're a jerk." "This is a school." "I know." "Is this some fabulous educational system?" "Huh?" "Huh?" "Party's over!" "Boy:" "Fire!" "Good god, this could be flammable!" "There's a fire!" "Pbbt." "Oh!" "You two stay here." "This could be dangerous." "You disappoint me, Woodrow." "You really disappoint me." "Your academic achievement" "Showed such promise," "And now this." "You cost this school a much needed grant" "Because you're cavorting all over the Hoover campus" "With some-who knows what kind of trash." "I don't understand you." "I mean, you come from a good f" "Well, a rich family." "Level with me, Woodrow, will you?" "You're not some kind of a mental case, are you?" "Because I don't need that right now." "I really don't." "Starting today, you are on probation." "And if you want to continue your education" "At the Hoover academy," "I suggest you get your father here immediately." "Um..." "Well, my father, he's- he's in europe on business." "That's your problem." "Get him here." "Well, forget it, man." "You'll never get my father here." "You're talking about blowing the whole thing." "I never quite got the hang of this game, did you?" "Look, look..." "If I don't produce a father," "The whole thing's gonna blow lunch." "Don't get testy with me." "I'm doing my share." "I'm taking care of Muffy," "And I'm supplying the capital." "Well, make sure you do take care of Muffy." "I mean, she could blow this whole thing for us." "Look, will you guys not sweat it, please?" "Tact is my middle name." "How could I let us drift apart like that?" "How could I forget how much I want you?" "I must have you..." "Now!" "Eee!" "Aah!" "That was fabulous." "Oh, jeez, I got a red sox game I got to see." "Look, it was great for me." "I hope it was fabulous for you." "Ahh." "Alphonse." "Alphonse." "Alphonse." "Hey, hey, I'm through, ok?" "Knock it off, will you?" "Here's for your trouble." "Better be getting back to the restaurant." "Oh, by the way, I never want to see you again." "Send in Mr. Woodrow and his father." "Mr. Woodrow." "Well, I wish we were meeting" "Under different circumstances." "I appreciate your coming." "Well, one must always make time" "For one's children." "Right." "Yeah." "Of course." "Ahem." "Oh." "Thank you." "Uh..." "Now, I'm sure that you can appreciate" "That education is my life." "I mean, my love." "Now, I'm convinced that there's no such thing" "As a bad boy." "Believe me, those convictions have been tested" "By your son." "I know Palmer is not perfect." "He's no chateau lafitte-rothschild '56," "But he ain't-he isn't beaujolais '76, either," "Which, as we all know," "Showed great promise, but failed to develop." "Palmer will develop" "Robustly." "That's an interesting analogy." "It's not one that I would've thought of," "But probably quite accurate." "But don't think that I fail to appreciate" "What you're doing" "The service that Hoover prep" "Renders these boys." "In fact," "I was contemplating" "Some way of expressing my appreciation." "Uh, perhaps..." "You could help me." "Yes." "Yeah." "As a matter of fact," "Absolutely." "Well, you know, the old library" "Has served us well for years, but now..." "I've always wondered what that building was." "Well, tradition has its place," "But a better library" "Means better students." "The Woodrow memorial library." "Uh, dad, don't you have a plane to catch?" "Back to mars." "Functional, I suppose," "But hardly contemporary." "The james beard gymnasium." "You don't mind if I call it" "After one of my personal heroes?" "The dormitories- I must see those." "A pleasant ambiance is essential." "Well, Mr. Woodrow," "I feel much better about Palmer" "Much better." "In fact, I see no reason why" "He should remain on probation." "Oh, tsk, tsk, tsk." "No favoritism." "If Palmer is on probation," "Then he must earn his way off." "What?" "That's a refreshing sentiment." "Oh..." "Thank you." "No." "There mustn't be any preferential treatment." "That doesn't build character in a man." "Isn't that what Hoover is all about?" "I can't believe you said that, Nicky." "How could you say something like that?" "I thought I did well." "Well, Nicky?" "You went psycho on me." "The Woodrow memorial library?" "He's probably going to hold up my diploma" "Until the new dorm's built." "Let him earn his way off probation?" "Thanks, nick." "I was merely echoing my father's belief" "That you spare the rod and spoil the child." "Yeah, well, it's too bad he didn't believe" "In birth control." "Listen, when you went in there," "They was ready to kick you out." "Now they're ready to kiss your ass." "So, you graduate." "Then I take away my donation money, ok?" "So now you're a hero." "Hey?" "Huh?" "Among the modern society dances," "The waltz is the most important." "The origins of many of the dances" "Are rather obscure." "¶ I'm back ¶" "And I'm better than ever, baby." "Took care of Muffy," "Gave her the old hot beef injection," "And left her begging for more." "Hey, who's this, friar tuck?" "Nice build, kid." "Uh, blimp, I'd like you to meet Eddie," "Palmer's retarded cousin." "Palmer?" "Palmer?" "Where is the old sot?" "Sot?" "He's eating dinner with his father." "And how is old daddykins?" "I guess daddykins is fine," "Because Palmer hasn't been back to pack." "No?" "Well, then," "Let's celebrate." "For you, little john, a muttonchop" "And a gift of bacchus" "With which to wash it down." "It's all right." "He's schizo." "Thinks he's errol flynn once in a while." "Come, you must join my merry band," "And then you, too, may laugh like this" "Ha ha ha!" "Ha ha ha!" "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" "A manly laugh for manly men such as we." "Aah!" "Mr. Hoover." "Hi." "Can I help you with something?" "I was looking for young Woodrow." "I have a little something here for him and his father." "He's out, but his cousin the retard's here." "Weren't you the host on creature features?" "I'm sorry I missed him." "There's so much to talk about" "Since his exciting meeting with headmaster Harriman." "Would you see that he gets this?" "Oh, sure." "With my regards." "Hey, boris, suck a few necks for me tonight," "Huh, buddy?" "After you." "Ooh!" "Ha ha ha!" "Big comedy." "Hey." "Jeez, don't you think you're taking this fitting-in bit" "A little too far?" "I know you won't take this personally," "But you look like a real asshole" "In that outfit." "Sounds to me like you guys are a little jealous." "Maybe I'm better at this than you are." "Oh, yeah?" "Well, at least I took care of Muffy" "Without promising to build her a fucking library." "Are you going to be here long?" "Because I think you're going to make things" "Very untidy." "What are you talking about?" "We're at the finish line, man." "Besides, I'm lovable, I'm affable," "And I pay for half of this room." "Where are you going?" "I thought we were going to go to a movie." "Do I look like I'm dressed for the movies?" "Yeah, but you said" "Randall..." "Please, don't whine" "And don't cramp my style." "Hey, he's getting real good at this, you know?" "I mean, he's turning into a real scumbag." "The fox certainly is an elusive animal." "Palmer!" "Hey, Palmer!" "Hey, chump!" "Good ride, Palmer." "You know, I shouldn't be at all surprised" "If we're looking at this year's winner" "Of the Hoover award." "Right." "See you up at the house for cocktails." "All right?" "Yes, sir." "Mm-mm-mm-mm-mmm." "What do you want?" "Now, that ain't no way to talk" "To your old buddy regis." "I have to mingle," "Be social." "How would you like it if I bring chained lightning" "By to mangle you?" "Hey, look, what is your problem here?" "I mean," "You're not really starting to get into this, are you?" "Is that wrong?" "It's how you live." "No, no." "You're missing the point." "Hello, ladies." "that's how my family has lived" "For a very long time." "This is not how I think." "Oh, you think I've changed." "Well, I haven't." "I'm still the same lovable guy." "Yeah." "Well, I don't think the same lovable guy" "Would let daddy buy him the Hoover award." "What does that crack mean?" "Aw, shit!" "Ohh!" "Good guess." "Muffy:" "Bif!" "Bif." "Uh..." "I forgot to tell you." "Bif is my middle name." "Bif is your middle name." "Hey, Muffy, great to see you," "But, hey, sorry, it's bad timing." "We're really on the run here with finals." "Tracy." "How you doing?" "Fine." "Is that for me?" "No." "It's a peace offering for Palmer." "Oh." "Well, if you want to catch him," "You'd better hurry." "He just ran off with a Muffy something or other." "Eddie:" "If you really want to be with me," "Sneak into the dorm tonight." "The dorm?" "Why not?" "Gosh, tracy, he sure sees a lot of her, too."

"Bif?" "Bif." "Sir..." "I think that you know how much this hurts me" "How much it hurts me" "To squeal on a fellow student" "But it's Bif, sir." "He has a girl in his room." "Damn." "We'll see what Palmer thinks of this." "Bif:" "Skip?" "Where the hell is bugs?" "Well, you must've done something." "I mean, tracy's not just pissed at you" "For the sake of being pissed." "Any of you gentlemen seen palm" "There you are." "Ha ha!" "You rascal." "I've been hunting all over for you." "Uh, how do you think your finals are going?" "Good, I hope, because it'd be embarrassing" "If you didn't win" "That Hoover memorial award this year." "I mean, after your father and his business manager" "Set up that wonderful fund for us." "All:" "What?" "He didn't tell you about it, huh?" "Oh, it's really quite simple." "You see, for every dollar raised" "And put into the fund by the academy," "He matches it with a dollar."

"Muffy took care of Bif." "I did my part." "Just give me my diploma." "Yeah, well, you know what?" "I'm through." "I'm finished, all right?"

"I don't want to be here." "I don't like it here." "Then leave." "I'm gonna see tracy." "It's 3:00 in the morning." "What is she, a fucking vampire?" "You think she'll talk to you" "Because you throw a rock through her window?" "Well, she isn't going to talk to me" "After dice and Nicky swindle the school." "You want to wake her up?" "I'll wake her up." "Ngh!" "No, no!" "Shh, shh!" "Hey, honey," "Yo!" "What are you doing?" "Aah!" "Hey, what are you doing here?" "I live here, remember?"

"No." "If I would've wanted to talk to you," "I would've." "Now, would you please go away?" "No." "Listen, listen, listen." "I stole a car." "I-I skipped off campus." "I drove across your lawn." "I mean, that's worth 5 minutes." "Palmer:" "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "You wouldn't mind if I went in the house," "Made myself a sandwich, got a little coffee, would ya?" "I didn't think you would." "Thank you." "Come on." "Well, I guess I'll just stay and watch the car." "Eddie:" "I'm just asking you to hear me out." "So you're going to sit here," "And you're going to listen to me." "There is nothing you can say." "Look, I saw you with Muffy again the other day." "Oh, come on, that's Muffy." "I can explain that." "No." "It's not that." "It's you." "What you are and what I thought you were" "Are 2 completely different things." "I guess it's my fault." "I've been looking for something" "That wasn't even there." "You think that this has changed me," "Right?" "Yes." "Well, you're wrong." "I don't even know you anymore." "God, that makes me so sad." "Tracy." "Tracy, don't go." "Uhh." "How'd it go?" "Ah." "Uhh." "Great bit." "I think the mayonnaise is a little funny." "I hallucinated I saw that guy" "Who looked like boris karloff" "In there again." "Shit!" "Mmm."

"I didn't want anything to do with this, Eddie." "But he did not want to jeopardize our friendship." "Look..." "We'll all prosper." "What do you care about these people, anyway?" "If they knew who you were," "You couldn't kiss their ass." "He's right, Eddie." "He's right." "I'm always right." "I'm ingeniousal." "Whew." "Kid's got an attitude." "Yeah, he's got an attitude."
