"I know that stare." "That's the Crystal stare." "And that was the Crystal drool." "I don't know what you talking about." "You want to talk to that girl all year." "Why don't you just ask her to the charity drive carnival this Saturday?" "I don't know, Rae." "I know you're shy." "It's okay." "But I know a perfect way to get her to notice you." "How?" "Yo, Crystal!" "Eddie, I mean, if you're trying to date a locker you got it going on." "d" " Do you smell that?" "Yeah, I was trying to be polite and not say nothing, but, man..." "Now, you know that's not me." "Ben Sturkey!" "Ben Sturkey!" "Sorry." "Does that guy ever take a shower?" "!" "I got second-hand stink here!" "Try having him in science." "You know, my brother's hamster smells better and it died two weeks ago." "Cuddles died?" "!" "Yeah, he died the same way he lived-- on the wheel." "This is going to be great." "I just saw Ben Sturkey put his arms around me." "Do your visions usually come true?" "Yeah." "All right, class your science projects are due on Monday so, I'm going to assign each of you a partner." "Partners?" "!" "Do you really think that would be a fair evaluation of our individual contributions to the world of science?" "I'm just saying." "Yes, I do, and I'm just saying." "Well, what about Diane?" "'Cause you see we have a chemistry which must work well in science." "I mean, chemistry, science..." "Diane's with Leland." "Okay." "What about Tina?" "What about Cristina?" "What about Robert?" "Raven, I've already assigned partners." "I know." "Ben Sturkey." "Well, I had you with Kristen but that's a much better idea." "Ben, you're with Raven." "Score!" "This is going to be great, partner." "Yep, that's me." "Now, we're supposed to make a model with a molecule but that's too easy, so I'm thinking an entire DNA strand." "So, what do you say, partner?" "Let's get psyched, huh?" "High fives!" "Oh, by the way the individually wrapped little brownies on your plates yes, that was provided by yours truly, moi." "I know what you're thinking-- that I'm just trying to unload Stinky Sturkey." "I mean, Ben Stinky." "Stinky Stinky." "You know, you could at least give back the brownies." "This one's missing a bite." "Thank you." "I've always thought you were so cute and, well, I'd love to go to the carnival with you." "I just love sloppy joe day, y'all." "That's all that is." "Eddie." "Okay, I'm going to need you to wipe off that face before I talk to it." "Any luck finding a new partner?" "No, and what am I going to do?" "!" "I mean, this project is worth 25% of my grade and I can't get a good grade if I can't breathe." "EDDIE:" ""Head Cold" Kenny." "He can't smell anything." "Hello, Kenny." "Come on, Eddie, get up." "You can do it." "Do it!" "Do it!" "Sure, I'll partner with Ben Sturkey." "You will?" "Really?" "Okay, give me a moment." "I will be okay." "I'm up." "Okay, I'm down." "I'm up." "Cool." "Zipper check." "Okay." "That was a close one." "So..." "want to go to the carnival?" "Hey, want to go to the carnival?" "Oops, sorry, I'm taken." "You could ask Crystal." "Oops, sorry, she's taken, too." "Yeah!" "Eddie, you know you got a piece of cole slaw on your head, right?" "And I made it work for me." "Yeah." "Gross!" "What'd you see?" "Um, I just saw Crystal and she was pointing at your face and really grossed out." "What's wrong with my face?" "Okay, whatever it is, she's just gon' freak." "What am I going to do?" "!" "It's straight to bed for you, young man." "With that fever, you'll be out for the rest of the week." "D'orry." ""D'orry?" That little stuffy-head thing was my last hope!" "Hey, partner." "Okay, you know what?" "I'm just going to have to come clean." "I'm going to have to be honest and tell him I can't work with him." "Hey, Ben?" "Oh." "Wow." "Hey, you know what?" "I think I must have pulled something." "Hey, Ben, yeah, you know what might help that?" "If you keep your arms down by your sides really tight." "Okay, and you know what else might help that little arm spasm that you just...?" "If you take a really long, hot bath." "With a big bar of soap." "Oh!" "You know, that's a good idea but actually, this arm thing's kind of working." "So, what did you want?" "Oh, uh, hmm, well, you know" "I just wanted to talk to you." "Oh, is it about the project?" "Yeah, I mean, I just cannot believe" "I'm partnered with you." "Oh, I know!" "I still can't believe that I get to work with the prettiest girl in class." "Oh, that's so sweet." "You didn't have to say that." "I mean, really." "Oh, but I mean it." "You're great." "So, what did you want to talk about?" "Um... you know" "I wanted to tell you that you're great, too." "Arms!" "Oh, right." "Do I spy a pupil with a problem?" "Perhaps I can help." "Possibly..." "You know what?" "It's a science thing and nothing you could spray, I mean say, would help." "Sorry." "Okay." "But may I propose you talk to your science teacher" "Mrs. Depaulo, or is it Depallo?" "No, Depaulo." "You know what?" "We just call her" ""Teach." That's what we call her." "And you know what?" "I'm about to go see Teach right now." "Buh-bye." ""Teach."" "I wish I had a pet name." "Mrs. Depaulo, do you have a minute?" "Raven, I've been meaning to talk to you." "I'm so proud of the way you've been working with Ben Sturkey." "A lot of students would have complained but not you." "No." "Now, what did you want to see me about?" "Yeah, okay." "Um..." "You know, I was wondering, was it Depaulo, or Depollo?" "Depaulo." "Okay." "I thought so." "That was almost too easy." "Mrs. Depollo..." "Depaulo." "Whatever." "Ben stinks." "Isn't that a little harsh?" "Ben's a nice guy, don't get me wrong but ever since I was just a little tyke um, I've been allergic to B.O." "All right, I don't go to sporting events, gyms." "You know, you can ask my doctor." "Well, this project is a big part of your grade." "And I really want to do well in it." "Okay." "I won't force you to work with Ben." "I'm very..." "We got an "A."" "I'll have to tell Ben..." "How much I am looking forward to working with him." "Did I tell you Ben's my boy?" "All right." "But I thought he stinks." "Now, Ms. Depaulo that's a little harsh, don't you think?" "Shame on you." "Hey, Ben, doesn't that go up there?" "Oh, yeah." "You know what, something is on the back of your head." "You better get it, you hear?" "It was just your hair." "Looks great..." "keep up the good work." "So glad to have you in the house... come again soon." "Oh, thanks, Mrs. Baxter." "Mom, you gotta breathe sometime." "Not in here." "Hey, Corey, what's with the snorkel?" "How do you breathe?" "I don't." "That's kind of the point." "I finally figured out what was so gross about me in your vision this." "You've got a bandage!" "Covering a huge zit." "Hey, Eddie." "Don't get up." "You just keep working right there." "Kitchen." "I mean, why don't I just tell Crystal I cut myself shaving?" "Okay, 'cause if she believes that you got to dump the girl 'cause she's kind of slow." "No, no, he's got a little mustache coming..." "Oh, no, I'm sorry." "I'm thinking of your friend Audrey." "You think it's funny?" "You think this..." "Ooh!" "...is funny?" "Okay, I'm going to need you to cover that back up." "I appreciate your concern, man... it's just a little nosebleed." "I need him out of my house." "But we haven't finished our project." "Here's an idea." "Why don't you work at his house?" "No, no, no, uh-uh, I cannot do that because, you see, I've never met his family." "He might be the clean one." "Ooh, Daddy." "The "Band-Aid On the Zit" trick." "So, what did you do, cut yourself "shaving?"" "That's it." "There's no way I'm going to the carnival tomorrow." "I'm calling Crystal and saying I'm sick, Raven." "No, you're not." "See, what you're going to do is you're going to stick your face in there." "It's going to suck it all out." "I'm not putting my face in there." "But you don't have to." "Look, Crystal's not going to care about that pimple." "Sure, she'll see it, but then she'll spend some time with you you'll make her laugh, and soon she'll want to know about the man behind the pimple." "If she can find the man-- 'cause that thing is nasty!" "You know, I've found the best place to hide from them-- in here." "I can't... move... my face." "That's because you were only supposed to put it here." "Just so you know" "I'm giving you a really dirty look right now." "28 minutes and 19 seconds-- that's how long I and my nose have been in there." "The good news-- I finished the project." "The bad news-- we have to burn the couch." "Have no fear, family!" "I'm going to blow the stink away!" "My project's going to get ruined." "I cannot let that happen!" "I'm okay..." "it's just the project but we can fix it tomorrow after the carnival even if it takes all night." "All night." "I feel a nosebleed coming on." "Um, hey, Ben..." "it's so great that you volunteered to help out with the dunk tank." "Um, actually, you volunteered me." "Oh, yeah, that's right, it's all for charity." "It's all for charity." "Oh, come on, you throw like a girl!" "Lady, can you give someone else a chance?" "No way." "My baby wants it, my baby's getting it." "That big spotted dog is coming down." "You the man." "Go Mama, go Mama" "Go Mama, go, go..." "Yes!" "Mom, can I have one of those?" "No." "Ooh, nothing like an outdoor barbecue grill to get the juices flowing." "Mm, no." "I'm feeling luckier." "Come on, Corey." "Oh, we've got piping hot pork ribs" "Hamburger patties... and soda pop." "Uh, I'll have a root beer." "With a lid." "Perfect!" "Hey, Raven have you seen Eddie?" "Crystal, I think he's over there by the cotton candy machine." "Okay, thanks." "No prob." "I cannot keep doing this." "Why not?" "Because... you told her you'll meet her here." "And you told me this would be gone." "What am I going to do, Rae?" "You know what, Eddie, face it, okay?" "There's only one thing you can do." "Yes, it is the magic of makeup." "It's just so weird, not to..." "Hey, that's amazing." "You can't even see it." "I know." "So, what do you really look like?" "You will never know." "Can't you wimps hit anything?" "So, uh, what's your favorite color?" "Well, it's between periwinkle blue and seafoam green." "Uh-huh." "Mine, too." "Really?" "Yeah, we have a lot in common, girl." "Oh, uh, you got a little mustard." "Oh, let me knock that out, baby." "It's still there." "You know what?" "Gross!" "All right, it's disgusting, I know." "Eddie, get back here." "Crystal, what is wrong with you?" "It is just a pimple." "So what?" "Eddie is a great guy." "If we let little stupid stuff like that get in the way we'd never get to know anybody." "I mean, look, he spits but I know he's a great teacher." "Look, she has a mouth full of braces but she is the fastest girl on the track team." "And he smells." "All right, but he's good in science and he's a nice... guy." "Ooh... who deserves to be treated a lot better." "All for a stupid grade." "Look, Eddie, you know what?" "I don't care about a stupid pimple." "It's just the makeup that's weird." "Well, I only did it so that you would like me." "Eddie, I wouldn't have come here today if I didn't like you." "For real?" "Yes." "Can we just start over, maybe?" "Well, I really got to think about this." "Yes!" "Okay." "Hey." "I'm still dry!" "Must be some kind of record, huh?" "Yeah." "Uh, Ben?" "Could you please come on out of there?" "I kind of need to talk to you about something." "Oh, sure." "What's up?" "Well, it's kind of hard to say." "I am so sorry." "That was a total accident." "Why is this water all soapy?" "Oh, okay." "The water's soapy because I put soap in it." "Why... why would you do that?" "Because I'm a real jerk." "Oh, no, you're not a jerk, you're my friend." "Okay." "So, as a friend, here goes..." "Ben, you stink." "All right, I'm sorry." "I do?" "I mean, hasn't anybody ever told you that before?" "Well, my mom, but I mean, that's just my mom." "She thinks my dad smells, too." "Interesting." "Well, I..." "I mean, I guess I could just shower more." "It's no big deal." "Great!" "Ben, if that's what you want, 'cause you know..." "Hmph!" "I don't care if you take a shower." "Well, then I won't." "All right." "Son, when you have a problem, and people don't point it out you can lose perspective." "If I had a problem" "I would not want people to beat around the bush." "Son, I have one word which will change your life forever-- anti-perspirant." "Pathetic." "Synced by MatMaggi"
