"Make yourself at home." "That's Japanese tea, by the way." " So enjoy." " Okay." "BIANCA:" "Nightmare." "I'd only been trained for Dave  Buster's." "What did Wes say?" "That "no one's making out if they're three feet apart."" "Okay." "Oh, Jesus." "Hey." "Oh." "Uh..." " Everything okay?" " Oh, yeah." "No, uh, I was getting..." "I was feeling, like, a draft over when I was here, so I just kind of scooted it on over here." " I can turn off the air." " Oh, okay." "Whatever." "That's probably a good idea." "BIANCA:" "The vibe." "Darker the better." "Okay." "Really?" "What kind of light...?" " What?" " Hey, Bianca." "That's better..." " Oh." "Did we blow a fuse?" " I guess we did." "I was just over here looking at this picture of you in the tiny sweatpants, and it got dark." "I don't know." "It's crazy." "I'll just flip the breakers, turn all the lights on." "Oh, you're gonna turn all the...?" "Turn them all back on?" "Okay." " What?" " Oh!" "Hey, let there be light, right?" "Yeah." "From the Bible." "Cool." "That's crazy." " What's the crab doing right now?" " Oh, I'll go get him." "Okay, great." "I can't believe you made all this sushi." "This is like restaurant-quality sushi." "Like, look at this." "Do you have a special tool for these?" "Ha, ha." "It took a few hours." "If it has to do with my hands, I usually pick it up really quickly." "That's actually how I got into guitar." " Oh, yeah." "Tell me more about that." " I was a terrible student." "[TOBY LAUGHS]" "And so my mom used to stand outside my room to make sure that I was doing my homework." "Game on." " What?" " I said, go on with the story, because I'm loving it." "So then I just started writing poems, and those poems became songs and..." "That is so cool." "I want you to take me..." "Take me on this table right now." "[BOTH MOANING]" "What's up?" "Oh, California roll?" " Mm." "Oof!" " Ew!" "TOBY:" "Are you okay?" "Ah." "Ah, yeah, I'm just really feeling this sushi." "It's really..." "It's doing something to me." "Ha, ha." "Yeah." "Well, thanks." "No, like I said, it's the poetry of the chord progression intertwining with the poetry of the lyrics." "It's like two people in love." "Yeah, like a midget jerking it." "Meow, meow, meow-meow." "[LAUGHS]" "Yeah, funny." "Actually, that kind of reminds me of a song that I wrote a few weeks ago." "I could play it for you later if you like." " Yeah, totally." " Yeah, totally." "You know, I've been working on a poem myself." "There once a boy named Toby Tucker Bianca Piper just wished he would..." "Okay, I think I'm gonna use the bathroom." "Where is it?" "What are you doing to me out there?" "What...?" "You're not into Wesley, are you?" "You bet your ass, you are." "Whoo!" "Who's number one in your brain?" " No." "Get out." " This guy." "This guy is." " Yeah." " Get out." "Okay, you've gotta pull it together, okay?" "Toby Tucker is gonna play you a song, and you're gonna love it." "Here we go." "[STRUMMING GUITAR]" "Are you okay?" "Little cold?" "I'm a little chilly, yeah." "Oh, hang on." "There you go." "Better?" "Yeah, definitely." "Thanks." "So here's the song." " Be gentle." "I'm still working on it, so..." " Okay." "[SINGING] Baby, you set my soul on fire" "And, girl, you are my heart's desire" "Don't you know it's true" "In everything we do" "I just want it to be" "The two of us" "I don't know exactly how to rhyme that." " Oh, no." "It's so good, though." " Thank you." "I think it's great." "I mean, I've been working on it for a little bit, so..." "But enough about me." "I mean, how have you been, after that video came out?" "It's been a little tough." "A lot of people..." "A lot of people saw it." "Heh." "I don't know." "To be honest, the saddest part about it is that" "I kind of got into a fight with my best friends, and..." "Jess and Casey?" "Uh, yes, Jess and Casey." "And, um, I don't know, it's, like, my fault pretty much." "I kind of wanna reach out, but I'm not really sure" " what I should do about it, and..." " You should talk to them." "I mean, they seem like really caring, understanding people, so..." "Mm." "Mm-hm." "Sorry, are you friends with them?" "Yeah, Jess is in my drama class and I have trig with Casey." "Oh, yeah." "You know..." "I mean, Jess is, like, an amazing actress." " Mm." " And dancer." "Mm." " And dresser." " Okay." "And Casey, she's, like, this, you know, fiery Latina." "You know, caliente, you know." "Yeah, she's very spicy." "But, you know, I'm not really friends with them right now, so..." "Is it intimidating?" "What?" "Being friends with..." "And it's rare that I point this out, because I do not subscribe to the American ideal of feminine beauty." "But such powerful women?" "BIANCA:" "Oh, no." "No, no, no." "A friend of mine was wondering, do they have dates to the homecoming dance next weekend?" "BIANCA:" "I tried to keep my composure, but..." "[SCREAMS THEN SOBS]" "[RETCHES]" "Are you DUFFing me?" "Excuse me?" "You are." "This is a DUFF." "You're using me to try to get closer to Jess and Casey, because you think that I'm approachable, aren't you?" "Okay, look, when you said that we should hang out Friday," "I thought you were hinting that they were gonna be here." "Like, I thought you were saying that they were into me." "I can't..." "I can't even believe this." "I can't believe for five seconds I thought that..." " Bianca, Bianca." " What?" "Can I have my sweatshirt?" "Heh, okay, you know what?" "Here, you can have it." "Oh." "Oh, hell, no." "Mr. Sushi?" " The song was mine." " Yeah." "I'm not surprised, because it was a piece of shit." "And so are you." "Have a nice night." "[LINE RINGS]" "WESLEY [OVER PHONE]:" "Hello?" " Wes, it's Bianca." "Just kidding." "It's my voice mail." "[LINE BEEPS]" "Wes, it's Bianca." "So it turns out that Toby's been DUFFing me the whole time." "And I've just been thinking about some stuff, and I just..." "I'd really like to talk to you, okay?" "Call me back." "[MADISON LAUGHING]" "[KNOCKING ON DOOR]" "Hey, I got your message." "Yeah, um, forget about it." "Just go home." "Look, I'm sorry about Toby." "Okay?" "He's an idiot." "You know, I saw you and Madison." " Okay." " You were at my special place." "You know, that's my Think Rock." "You said I could use it." "Not as a Motel 6, Wes." "You were on a date with Toby." "Are you seriously mad at me right now?" "I thought we were friends." "Come on, we're not friends." "You know, people like you don't hang out with people like me, you know?" "That's just the way it is." "Football guys, they date hot chicks." "And people like me don't date anybody." "I don't know why I thought it could be different." "What are you talking about?" "B, this isn't you." "Please, Wes, you're embarrassed to be seen with me at school." "Okay?" "It's just..." "This was an experiment, and it worked for you and it didn't work for me, so let's just forget it, okay?" " B..." " Please, just go home." "BIANCA:" "So, what does homecoming mean to me?" "The word "homecoming" itself conjures up feelings of warmth and comfort." "High school offers me none of that." "I know some people will tell you that homecoming is about celebrating, but to the majority of kids in school, it's just another night where you feel pressure to find the perfect date, the perfect outfit," "and have the perfect evening." "Come Monday morning, it's back to reality." "I don't know about you, but I'm happy to sit this one out." "I didn't regret hitting "send,"" "but I did regret how I left things with Jess and Casey." "CASEY:" "So all of this because of some word?" "It didn't feel like just some word to me." "I think deep down I've always known you guys were prettier than me, and I felt like I couldn't talk to you about it, because you wouldn't understand what it felt like to be your schlumpy friend." "But, you know, you're wrong, because we all have our insecurities." "The point is, we're a team." "If anything, we're kind of chumps in comparison to you." "Okay, now you went too far." "You had me and then you lost me." "Oh, no, she's right, B. You are by far the smartest one of the three of us." "You're loyal, you're funny." "And we can't be Bianca, Jess and Casey without Bianca." "Thanks." "Oh." "Okay, you know what?" "Tonight how about we ditch our dates and have a girls' night?" " Done." "BIANCA:" "What?" "No, no way." "Guys, it's homecoming." "You're definitely going." "I just..." "I can't see Wes." "Or Toby." "Or anyone, for that matter." "Just let me stay here and lie amongst the pizza a little longer." " Absolutely not." "BIANCA:" "Mom." " You're listening at the door again?" " Yes, I was." "This is juicy stuff." "Now it all makes sense." "Mom, I've been through all of your stages, okay?" "I am already at the fifth and final stage: acceptance." "Honey, forget about the five stages." "I have got some real advice for you." "We're gonna call it, uh, stage 11." "Yeah, it's sort of acceptance plus, where you realize who you are, you accept it, and then you, um," "[IN BRITISH ACCENT] turn it up to 11." "Is that supposed to be Robert Pattinson?" "[IN NORMAL VOICE] No, Spinal Tap." "The movie, Spinal Tap." "[IN BRITISH ACCENT] "This one goes to 11."" "Let's stop." "[IN NORMAL VOICE] All right, honey, you're a weirdo." "Fine, own it." "Be the best weirdo you can be." "You have spent the last month worrying so much about what other people think about you." "How about tonight you just worry about what you think about you?" "Now, I want you to get cleaned up, I want you to go to that dance, and rock that homecoming like my Bianca Piper would." "Passion plus action..." " Oh, my God, I'm doing it again." " No, no, it's okay, it's working." "You're good at this." "I'm feeling mad inspired." "I think I have an idea." "[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]" "Hmm." "There it is." "I gotta say, this is some of my best work." " You are very talented." " It's really perfect, Jess." "All right, I just talked with the guys, and I told them we're going alone." " Ooh." "Yes." " Thanks." "So shall we?" "[CLAPS]" "Let's do this shit." "Fucking A." " Mom." " Sorry." "[ICONA POP'S "ALL NIGHT" PLAYING]" "She looks great." "She's pulling it off." " Dude, she's 15 years old, man." " She's a ten." "I don't care about 15." "She's a ten." "And then she was all like, "Bitch, if I wanted your opinion, I'd ask."" "And I was all like, "Bitch, if I cared what you thought, I'd ask."" "Ugh, my grandma is so annoying." " Ha-ha-ha." " Wesley, what time is it?" "Nine-fifteen." "Okay, they're announcing king and queen soon, so, Caitlyn, I wanna go over by the stage and get the very best lighting." "I'll be right back." "Wow." "Um, you guys, I'll be right back, okay?" "ROBIN:" "Awesome dress, Bianca." " Thanks, Robin." " Hey, Bianca, about the other..." " Shh, shh, shh." "Uh..." "BIANCA:" "Hey." " Hey." "I could tell from across the room that we might be into each other." "Now that I'm here, I'm sure." "Your move." "WESLEY:" "Wow." " How was that?" "That was not bad." "Should I've gone with "wiener in your mouth"?" " No, no." "Definitely not." " Ha, ha." " Um..." " Wow, um..." "You look beautiful." "Thanks." "Look, um, about what I said the other day, of course we're friends, and that's cool." "But a guy I know once told me that if you like somebody, you should just be straight-up with them and tell them that you're into them." "So I guess that's kind of what I'm doing." "Wait, you're into me?" "Yeah." "Um..." "I, uh..." "I kind of just got back together with Madison." "Oh." "But that's good if you're happy." " What the shit?" " Ow." "MADISON:" "Get out of my way." "Wow, that is an interesting dress." "Who makes that, Build-A-Bear?" "Since you can't seem to leave my boyfriend alone," "I cannot wait to release your video tomorrow." "Good." "I'm glad you're excited about it." "Go right ahead." "Fine, I Will." "Plus, Wesley would never leave me for some DUFF anyway." " Look, Madison..." "BIANCA:" "It's okay." "Ooh." "Madison, you used to make me so upset, but now I just feel bad for you." "Yeah, I'm somebody's DUFF." "Guess what, so are you." "So is everybody." "There's always gonna be somebody prettier or more talented or richer than you, but it shouldn't affect how you see yourself." "You label everybody to try to keep them down, but you end up missing out on all this great stuff around you." "You have Wesley, and you treat him like he's stupid, but he isn't." "And people don't like him, because he's with you." "They like him because he's, like, an amazing guy." "Look, I like myself." "I wouldn't wanna be anybody else." "And I realize now that none of this matters to me." "But it does to you." "It's your dream." "And I totally support that." "Just don't tear me down for not giving a shit about your labels, because in the end, they're meaningless." "MADISON:" "What?" "Whatever you said was meaningless, okay?" "You don't even get it." "This is not my dream." " I don't need to..." "BUCHANON:" "Okay, Blue Devils." "Oh, my God, here it is." "It's happening." "Okay, Blue Devils, it's time to crown our king and queen." "[CROWD APPLAUDING]" "Hey, how'd it go?" " Actually, really good." " This year's homecoming queen is..." "This one's got me a little nervous." "...Ms. Madison Morgan." "[CROWD APPLAUDING]" "Me?" "What?" "Oh, my God, of course." "GIRL:" "Madison!" " Congratulations, Madison." " I knew it was me." "Keep it to yourself." "BOY:" "Yeah, Madison." " All right." "And this year's homecoming king is..." "Drumroll, please." "...Mr. Wesley Rush." "[CROWD APPLAUDING AND CHEERING]" "Wesley Rush." "Homecoming king." "Come on up." "Wesley." "Wesley." "Wesley." "BUCHANON:" "Where's Wesley?" "Aren't you gonna go get your crown?" "No, I'm gonna get the girl." "BOY:" "Yeah, Bianca!" " Let's get the hell out of here." "GIRL:" "All right." "All right." "Yeah, all right." "Damn." "It was definitely the dress." " That is really great." " Yeah, he is hot." "Are we breaking into the newsroom to hook up?" "BIANCA:" "You bet we are." " Who are you?" "[BIANCA CHUCKLES]" " Wesley?" " What?" "I just want to..." "I just want to..." "One more thing." " What?" "What?" " Just one thing." "No, they block out all the good sites." " What are you doing?" " I just have to..." "WESLEY:" "No, no, if you're doing homework, I'm gonna kill myself." "It's just one quick thing." "It's for my article." "I'm feeling inspired." " Okay, here, just rub my shoulders." " Right." "BIANCA:" "What does homecoming mean to me?" "If you asked me at the beginning of senior year," "I would've told you, "Absolutely nothing."" "But tonight, possibly the greatest night of my life," "I have changed my tune." "You know that one moment in high school that changes everything?" "Okay, I think I can probably finish this later." "BIANCA:" "It all started senior year, about a month before homecoming." "I was cruising the halls with my two best friends..." "BOY:" "Wow, she's awesome." "Yeah, she is." "I should forward this." " Viral?" " Viral." "I'm a DUFF." "I am a DUFF." "Yep, that's me." " I'm a DUFF." " I'm a DUFF." "Okay, girl, I know some DUFFs too." "ARTHUR:" "Wow." "For what it's worth, what you wrote here struck a chord with me as well." "I mean, I know you won't believe me, but I was the DUFF out of my friends." "What?" "No." "There was no cool name for it like "the DUFF."" "It was, like, "the dipshit," uh, douche bag." "A. Urkel." "Asian Urkel." " Nerd ass." " Okay, no." "Didn't need..." " Didn't need the help, you know?" " Oh, sorry." "[COMPUTER BEEPING]" "BIANCA:" "Whoa, look at this." "The site has thousands of comments and likes on it." "But they're positive this time." "BIANCA:" "Mr. Arthur was right." "Kids started writing to me with their own DUFF stories, and when I posted those, more kids responded until it just became its own thing." "Oh, and Wesley?" "He passed science." "He's going to Ohio State in the fall." "And since I got into Northwestern, we can visit each other." "[CELL PHONE CHIMES]" "BIANCA:" "A lot." "Hey, neighbor-slash-boyfriend." "Hi, neighbor-slash-girlfriend." "You hungry?" "I'm hungry." " Yeah, I could eat." " Good." "Because I was hoping to take you to dinner." "Ooh." "How about a little Dave  Buster's?" " Skee-Ball?" " Ah!" " A dark booth?" "Yeah." " Ah!" "I love it when you talk dirty to me." " Maybe we'll accidentally touch knees." " Oh, can I?" "[IN MONSTER VOICE] Bianca kiss Wes now?" "WESLEY:" "Oh, monster voice sexy." "[BOTH LAUGH]" "BIANCA:" "In the end, it's not about popularity or even getting the guy." "It's about understanding that no matter what label is thrown your way, only you can define yourself." "Take it from a DUFF." "[CREW LAUGHING]" "Hit that..." "Hit that, uh..." "That long one in the middle." "It's called a spacebar." " Hey." " Now, that's a classic look." "You could be on the cover of GQ." "Back cover." "Just a vest." "Okay, MacGyver." "You talk about my son one more ******* time." "[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]" "Bluh!" "I swear, I'm just feeling the pressure." "If this makes it to Toshi," " I'm telling you now..." " Toshi." " Now I know you..." " Ha, ha." " Now I know that you..." " Ha, ha." " Ha-ha-ha." " [IN JAPANESE ACCENT] This is not..." " This is a..." " Hmm." "Not the article I want." " Dad, 17 pa..." " But it article we need." "[BOTH LAUGHING]" " Hey, Trevor." " Have fun tonight, Trevor." " I hate you." " No, you look adorable." "Mm." "Ish." "I'm not happy!" "I haven't been kissed in years." "MAN:" "Can we do one more...?" " Okay, not again." "[CREW LAUGHING]" "Oh, are we making a movie?"
