"Well, there's no way I'm holding your hand in public." " I mowed 286 miles for you." " Okay, one lunch." "There are five days in a school week." " All right, Donald, two lunches." " Three lunches." " And the pep rally on Friday." " Four lunches." "That's it!" "Okay, deal." "Now, just remember, this is our sworn secret for life or longer." " You promise." " Yeah, yeah." "I promise." "Anyway, how bad could it be, right?" "It's only for one week." "No, no, it's one month." "One month." "Yeah, I know." "Okay, one month." " Okay." " Okay."

"Come on." "Well, what about Bobby?" "Yeah, come on." "We just want some answers, all right?" "Guys, why don't you take a look at my forehead?" "Do you see a sign that says "information"?" " Ooh!" " I didn't think so." " Girl!" " Taste, please." "Hey, come on!" "[Laughing]" "[Chattering]" "I know that lunch was part of our deal, but I didn't think it meant the same table." "Well, I thought it would be a little more believable." " Yeah, I guess you're right." "Anyway, you did treat." " Yes." "Aren't you in the wrong section?" "Losers are to the left." "Then I guess you'll be making a right." "That's the asshole section." "[Exhales] Thanks." "Yeah." "Oh!" "You need a map,John?" "We've only been sitting at that table for three years." "Well, look." "That wimp ass Miller is parked in our zone." "Lighten up." "How bad could he be?" "He's with Cindy." "Come on." "You all know Ronnie?" "Yeah, we were in, uh, sixth grade together." "Uh, but I haven't seen him since then." "[Chuckles]" "I read in the paper that you and Ricky will probably make all-county, maybe even all-state this season." " Oh, really?" "You go to the game?" " Every one." " I never seen ya there." " I have." "You sit in the visiting section, don't you?" " [Laughing]" " Yeah, he sits there to razz the other team." " It's psychological warfare." " Yeah!" "I almost got my butt kicked three times." " I'll bet." " Now that's school spirit." " Risking your life for the team." " Yeah." " I guess." " Yeah." "Guys, look at this." "Ronald's over in no-man's land, and he's still alive." "What does he think he's doing, Kenneth?" " He must be helping them with their homework." " Yeah." "First morning in school, homework?"

"I am not going on a nature walk." "I can't believe I let you negotiate a Saturday night." "I mean, what?" "We had lunch all week together." "I stood near you in the hall." "I even took you out for pizza!" "And I waved to you at the game yesterday." "I mean, Saturday night was not part of our deal." "Bobby hasn't called?" "I don't think that's any of your business." "[Car Door Closes]" "Cindy, here Bobby was a big-time football star." "But there he's just a freshman tryin' to make it." "I'm sure he's thinking about you." "[Sighs] I'm sorry." "Sorry?"

"And then he's a geek again." "Honey, I don't know what a geek is." "I guess, at the present time, a geek is Ronald Miller." "Who says?" "Hmm?" "[Lawn Mower Engine Whirring]" "####[Ronald Singing Loudly, Indistinct] -[Lawn Mower Engine Continues]" "Oh, my God!" "pow!" "[Cindy] Would you stop it?" "Stop it!" "The neighbors, man!" "Listen, all right?" "Hold on!" "Just turn it off!" "My mother was calling the police, until I told her you had a chemical imbalance... and you are seeking psychiatric help!" " [panting] I need to talk to you." " Fine." "Every time I called, you were either taking a bath, washing your hair." "Or you were out of the country." "That was a good one, by the way." "I tried to get you alone at school, but I got a month's detention." "Yeah, you're very big in bathrooms, aren't you?" "Cindy, just hear me out." "And then I'll leave you alone." "Okay?" "Oh!" "You t..." "You demolished me New Year's Eve." "But see..." "I realize you did me a favor." "You brought me back to reality." "All I ever wanted to do was get close to you." "And then, when I finally got there, it wasn't me anymore." "Cindy..." "Oh, Cindy." "I was just hoping we could sort this out, you know?" "The real me and the real you." "That's all." "[Exhales]" "Okay." " But not at 6:00 in the morning." "Okay." "I'll come back at 11:00." "I'll be washing my hair..." "out of the country." "That's my favorite one." "[Laughs Weakly]" "[Starts, Stops Lawn Mower]" "Tell your mom I'm sorry." "[Sighs] Is that right?" " Good job." " Really?" "Oh, my God!" " What's happening, guys?" " Hey, nerd alert, man." "He's in our quadrant, too." "Kenneth Wurman with patty?" "No way!" "Thanks so much!" "I swear, I don't know what I would have done without you." "Really." " No problem.J-Just, uh, take your time and follow the steps." " Okay." "Kenneth Worm-man is trying to pull a Ronald McDonald Miller scam on us." " He's probably trying to pay her off." " Relax, man." "He's harmless." "I'm sending him back to the minor leagues." " Be cool, man." " Hey, calm down." "Oh, man." "He's gonna make a fool of himself." " Hey, what do you think you're doing over here, twimp?" " H-Helping her with some math." " No, bullshit." "You're trying to pull a Ronald Miller scam." " A what?" "You better get back to your own side, or I'm gonna send you back to Geeksville in a milk carton!" "Would you guys do something?" " Oh, return of the living dread." " Why don't you lay off?" " Why don't you go back where you belong, hosehead?" " Take your hands off Kenneth." "Or I'll break your arm." "Your pitching arm!" "Oh yeah?" "Well, don't make me laugh, lawn boy." "Let go." "Now!" "You broke your arm once before, remember?" "You fell out of our tree house." "Kenneth picked you up... and we carried you 12 blocks to the hospital." "Yeah, you cried all the way." "We were all friends then, remember?" "And now you want to end his life... because he's talking to patty on your side of the cafeteria." "Oh, man, that's stupid." "I know, 'cause that's where I wanted to be." "On your side, with your crowd." "But I messed up." "See, I tried to buy my way in." "But Kenneth..." "he's not trying to buy anybody." "He's just trying to make friends." "Being himself." "Cools, nerds, your side, my side." "Man, it's all bullshit." "It's just tough enough to be yourself." "It's all right." " Sorry." " It's okay." "[Cheers, Applause]" "[Engine Off]" "This should cover it." "I saw a crack in the moon last night." "Yeah, me too." "[Car Horn Honking] [patty] You ready?" "Come on." "Let's go." " I gotta go, okay?" " Yeah." " See ya." " Bye-bye." "[Chattering]" "Hi, Ronnie." " All right!" "Take a chance!" " Whoo-hoo!" "[Cindy] Ronald!" "Ronald!" " Go for it!" " Donald!" "[Laughing]" " Let's go." " Yeah." "Now, hang on." " [Laughing]" " Whoo!" "Okay, let's get this deal straight one last time." "Now, you can have Saturday nights, but only if you ask me in advance." "Okay, I'm asking you in advance:" "Will you go to the prom with me?" "Not if you do that stupid dance." " Okay, how about kissing?" " Yeah, it's important." " Oh, it's a must." " Definitely.
