"A job interview?" "No, honey." "I'II probably just be way too drunk." "That's good." "No drinking and driving." "Oh, I'II be driving." "I'II just be too drunk to remember." "Okay." "Bye, Daddy." "Bye, pumpkin-head." "Oh, my God!" "Get out of the road!" "Oh, my God, it's Jake." "Hi, stud." "Hi, Jake." "I Iove that thing with his eyebrows." "Those sideburns." "Oh, my God, there's Jake."

"And now, ourhometown hero first-string quarterback, Jake Wyler!" "MaIik, could you hold these books?" "Sure." "Why not?" "I am the token black guy." "I smile, stay out of the conversation and say things like "Damn," "Shit," and "That is whack!"" "What's she doing here?" "She graduated four years ago." "Hi, Jake." "Catherine." "Can I ask you a question?" "Why is it when I tell a guy to put it anywhere..." "...they always stick it in my ass?" "Damn!" "Way too much information." "Oh, no." "Too much information would be telling you that after they're done I take a huge dump." "Shit!" "On their chest." "Oh, that is whack!" "priscilla, there you are." "Jake, I need some T-to-the-fourth-power-Y." "Some time to talk to you." "God." "It made sense to me, priscilla." "You're leaving me for this guy?" "I'm sorry, Jake." "We met over spring break."

"For the thousandth time, I said, "swallow that thing."" "Am I right?" "How could PrisciIIa dump me, Jake WyIer?" "Who does she think she is?" "I got two words for you, Jake:" "Prom queen, material." "Austin, she's an illusion." "You take away the makeup, the clothes the way she wears her hair, the smell of her perfume that cute face she makes when she's tonguing my balls...." "Look, she's replaceable." "Given the right look, the right boyfriend..." "...any girl could be prom queen." "I smell a bet." "Jakey, Jakey, about to make a big mistakey." "I'II pick the most hopeless girl at this school and I'II bet that you can't turn her into prom queen." "You're on, Austin."

"Guys, get your heads out of the gutter." "It's a locker room." "It's no sexier in there than it is in here." "molly, can you help me take off my panties?" "hold on, I've got Iotion on my hands." "That's okay." "You can just use your mouth." "Thanks, Miss Peters." "So who would Iike to share their poem with the class?" "Mr. KeIIer?" "Over here." "Right here." "please." "Anyone?" "please pick me." "I'm the one." "Yes Ricky." ""Ten Things I Love About Janey."" "Oh, not again." "By Ricky Lipman."

"You were quiet at dinner." "You were passed out on the table." "Listen, honey I may not always be coherent or conscious but I know when my girl's got something on her mind." "well, there is this popular boy, Jake." "Oh, sweetie." "Jake knocked you up, didn't he?" "No, he asked me out." "Do you Iike him?" "Are you attracted to him?" "I mean, would you give him head?" "He is kind of cute, but he's always been a total jerk." "It's weird that he's talking to me now." "especially after you've packed on a couple of pounds." "What do you think I should do?" "Look, sweetie." "I never want you to do anything that compromises who you are because you're very, very special to me." "If Jake is only asking you out to get into your pants well, then I'd say go out with him." "You could certainly use the popularity points."

"And this time, I don't want your car." "I want you." "Catherine, that's disgusting." "You're my sister." "only by blood." "What is wrong with this family?" "Hey, do you want my help or not?" "There are three things you need to do to have Janey eating out of your hand." "First, you earn her trust." "Come on, leave him alone!" "Hey!" "Come on, guys, back off." "That's enough, okay?" "You little shit." "Don't you guys mess with him again." "Once you've got her trust, it's time to make her feel special." "Pick a song with hername in it." "That always works." "She's got a gun!" "Janey's got a gun!" "Take it easy, miss." "Wait." "Get back here!" "hold her down." "Give me your hand!" "Just give us the gun, Janey." "Afteryou've made her feel special it's time to put the icing on the cake." "I'm really glad you showed up, Janey." "The only reason I came here was to tell you to leave me alone." "You know, I was just making a snack." "You want one?" "No." "Listen, Jake" "I'II be right back." "Hungry?" "I don't like sundaes." "It's not a sundae, it's a banana split."

"I'm taking your Ferrari to buy hookers." "We'II call you later to check in." "I'II be so high, I won't know where the phone is." "That's my boy." "Jake, what are you doing here?" "I'm taking you to Preston's big party." "I can't." "I'm not dressed to go to a party." "I'm a complete mess." "I'd say you're one big fucking train wreck." "Do I know you?" "That's it." "I've got it." "What?" "It might seem crazy, but you'II have to trust me." "That's it." "I did it." "I'm a miracIe-worker." "gentlemen may I present to you the new and improved Janey Briggs."

"Nice turtleneck." "What's your name?" "I'm Sandy Sue." "Limp-dick fag fucker!" "Who told you that?" "alison?" "alison was bitter when we broke up." "completely fake." "Yeah, that's not her real hair color." "She's wearing the same outfit as me." "It looks much better on you." "Where is she?" "I thought she'd be here by now." "What's going on?" "We can't talk until she starts moving again." "She took forever this time." "What are you doing here?" "What do you mean?" "I'm supposed to be the only black guy at this party." "Damn." "Shit." "Yeah, I know." "It's whack." "My bad, man." "Take this." "Thanks." "Do your thing." "Peace out, brother." "Honest mistake." "Hi, my name is Catherine." "Yeah, I know." "We just had sex five minutes ago." "Not scoring any cock, either?" "Cock?" "I've never even been kissed." "What up, my yellow brothers?" "Chinks in the house!" "Reggie Ray, have you seen Janey anywhere?" "It's a good night for smoking." "Ain't that right, Sausage?" "Okay, now close your eyes and wet your lips." "Are you for real?" "Do you want to Iearn or not?" "I guess." "See?" "That wasn't so scary." "It was nothing." "Okay." "Let's try again." "only this time, I'm gonna stick my tongue in your mouth."

"You call this a party?" "!" "I'm a golden goddess!" "Show us how drunk you are!" "Go for it!" "You're a unique rebel, Janey!" "Janey, are you all right?" "I told you not to let me drink." "I gave you a nonalcoholic beer." "What the hell are you doing here?" "I was invited." "Look, you may have lost those glasses and that ponytail thing but you're still a loser." "Look at that." "Oh, my God." "That's going to stain." "You're not going to cry now, are you?" "Look, you can't just start a slow clap at any old time." "You gotta wait for the right moment." "When is it the right moment?" "You'II know." "Nobody's allowed down here." "Janey, I just thought" "How did you get in here?" "I deadboIted the door." "There's a hole in the side of your house." "Who's that?" "It's my mother." "You have her eyes." "She died when I was 6." "I'm sorry." "I remember it like it was yesterday." "Christmas, 1 989." "Dad had been fired from the zipper factory."

"Anybody that disobeyed the coach and the team and threw to a 90-pound kid who shouldn't have been on the field." "Stop!" "How is any of this supposed to be helping me?" "Right." "Forget what I said." "You got to go out there, believe in the ball and throw yourself." "You can do it." "I'm going out there."
