-
You know
how in some movies...
-
they have a dream sequence,
-
only they don´t tell you
it´s a dream?
-
This is so not a dream.
-
It wasn´t supposed to
be like this.
-
I was just trying to do my job,
-
and then things happened.
-
Well, life happened.
-
And now I´m here.
-
Catch a falling star
and put it in your pocket...
-
Catch a falling star
and put it in your pocket...
-
Trust me.
I´m not the kind of girl...
-
who does things like this.
-
I mean, two months ago,
-
you couldn´t have picked
me out of a crowd.
-
Hi. Call me.
-
Told you.
-
I´m over there.
-
I was the youngest copy editor
at the Chicago Sun-Times.
-
Standard British callsfor ´"re.´"
-
So unless you´re
a pompous American,
-
I would go with ´"er.´"
-
I had my own office,
unlimited stationary supplies,
-
and a professional,
dedicated assistant.
-
Thought of this
awesome new phrase.
-
"Power is powerful.´"
-
Total T-shirt, right?
Awesome. Amazing. What?
-
Can I get my messages?
-Yeah.
-
Hey, seriously,
last time I saw you,
-
did I look fat?
-
OK. You hesitated.
-
No. Case closed. Forget it.
-Excuse me, Merkin.
-
Um, I noticed that there
weren´t any index cards.
-
I can´t do notes without them.
-Hey, hey, hey.
-
Merkin ain´t jerkin´.
He´s workin´, OK?
-
Take that to the bank.
-
It´s power, baby. It´s power.
-
My boss.
-
No. I´m just a little tense.
-
I mean, this whole office
is not Feng Shui.
-
All the desks are facing,
like, evil, you know?
-
Uh, do you think I should
bleach my jeans...
-
Josie!
-
Guess who I did it with
last night.
-
Roger from op/ed?
-
Ohh! Who told you?
-
You did. You said yesterday,
and I quote,
-
´"I have a date with Roger
from op/ed tonight,
-
and I´m gonna do it
with him.´"
-
Computer´s down.
-
Septuplet story.
Need it by 5:00.
-
Hopefully the copy´s
not a mess.
-
It´s ´"hoped´"
that it´s not a mess.
-
´"Hopefully´" is an adverb.
It means ´"with hope.´"
-
You have it
defining the copy,
-
and I´m pretty sure the copy
doesn´t have feelings.
-
So, Anita...
-
You and Roger in op/ed.
-
Oh, man, who told you?
-
Roger in op/ed.
-Really?
-
Anita?
-What?
-
Don´t make me
send you another memo...
-
about my policy
on interoffice dating.
-
It´s ´"intraoffice dating.´"
-
And they´re not dating.
They´re having sex.
-
Oh.
-
And what exactly is
your policy, Augustus?
-
That if you´re not getting any,
then no one can?
-
Hmm.
-
How many times have I fired her?
-
Five or six.
-Eight.
-
Gus...
-
Did you get those story ideas
that I left on your desk?
-
Morning, Mr. Strauss.
-
Yes, the blind
foster home mother.
-
That was good.
I got Kahune on it.
-
Oh, yeah. Kahune. He´s good.
-
Geller, we´ve been through this.
-
You´re a great copy editor.
-
You´re maybe
my best copy editor.
-
You´re not a reporter.
-
You´ve used 5 of my ideas.
-
Gus, please.
-
Every Tom, Dick, and Harry
thinks he can write,
-
but a journalist gets in there
where the bombs are falling.
-
He´s aggressive.
He grabs the bull by the balls.
-
You don´t think I can
grab a bull´s balls?
-
Geller, you don´t want
a reporter´s life.
-
Trust me. They´re very messy,
-
and you´re all about
order and control,
-
and getting me my copy by 5:00.
-
I can be out of control.
-
Copy by 5:00!
-
Josie,
maybe Gus has a point.
-
You know, it´s not gonna kill
you to relax and have some fun.
-
Hey, you know, Roger´s got
this friend Marshall in editing.
-
Maybe we can all go on
a double date or something.
-
Marshall the duke?
-
I swear to God, Josie! Come on!
-
Tell me, when is the last time
that you went on a real date?
-
I´m concentrating
on my career right now.
-
Do you own
any colored underwear?
-
Stripes or anything?
-
The right guy, he´s out there.
-
I´m just not gonna go kiss
a whole bunch of losers...
-
to get to him.
-
Yeah, but you know what?
-
Sometimes kissing losers
can be a really fun diversion.
-
When I finally get kissed,
I´ll know.
-
OK. If you´ve never
kissed a guy before,
-
we have bigger problems
than the underwear.
-
I´ve kissed a guy.
-
I´ve kissed guys.
-
I just...
-
haven´t felt that thing.
-
That thing?
-
Is that what you kids
call it these days?
-
That thing.
-
That moment
when you kiss someone,
-
and everything around you
becomes hazy...
-
and the only thing infocus
is you and this person...
-
and you realize that
that person...
-
is the only person that
you´re supposed to kiss...
-
for the rest of your life.
-
And for one moment
you get this amazing gift,
-
and you wanna laugh,
and you wanna cry...
-
´Cause you feel so lucky
that you found it
-
and so scared that it´ll go away
all at the same time.
-
Damn, girl. You are a writer.
-
OK...finished.
-
What do you guys think?
-
Where do you think it should go?
-
The bedroom?
-
That´s exactly
what I was thinking.
-
When I say that I´m OK
-
Well, they look at me
kind of strange
-
Perfect.
-
Surely you´re
not happy now
-
You no longer play the game
-
The meeting just began.
-
Let me start by saying
I was very impressed...
-
with that investigative
piece that Dutton did...
-
on pesticides
in our supermarkets.
-
But since the Trib did a piece
on the same subject only better,
-
you´refired.
-
Dutton, did you hear me?
You´refired.
-
Out, out, out.
-
Close your cubicle.
-
Bye-bye, Dutton.
-
Hello, everybody else
still working here.
-
Let´s celebrate by doing
another undercover feature.
-
Now, you know that my
inspiration for these stories...
-
come, of course,
from my personal life.
-
I mean, who would´ve thought
that my foray into hair plugs...
-
would´ve resulted
in last month´s cover story?
-
´"Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow.´"
A great story.
-
So anyway, last night,
-
I´m sitting home with
my family having dinner...
-
Roger.
-
And my younger boy
starts to choke.
-
And I realized that my son
was allergic to peanuts.
-
I said to myself, ´"Holy shit!
I don´t even know my own kids.´"
-
How much do we know about
these high school kids?
-
What are they thinking?
-
And then it hit me.
-
Boom!
-
´"My Semester in High School.´"
-
You.
-
What´s your name?
-Josie.
-
Jose?
-
Josie Geller.
-
Josie Geller,
you enroll Friday.
-
Have fun.
-
The meeting just ended.
-
Josie!
-
20-minute handstand.
-
Freaked the yogi right out.
-
Excuse me.
-
Josie.
-
Ohh...
-
It´s really happening!
-
My first undercover feature
by Josie Geller!
-
Josie, maybe you should
turn it down.
-
Why? You don´t think
I can do it?
-
No, no! It´s just...
-
This is a lot of pressure for
your first piece, that´s all.
-
I mean, this is not
a half-a-page article.
-
This is a major
undercover piece, OK?
-
Look what Rigfortjust
did to Dutton in there,
-
and that guy´s his cousin.
-
Don´tworry.
-
I´m gonna straighten
this all out.
-
Neither of you guys
think I can do this?
-
That´s notwhat
we´re saying, Josie.
-
Anita, when you wanted to
seduce the guy in the mailroom,
-
and you thought you couldn´t
learn Spanish fast enough,
-
who quizzed you on your verbs?
-
Senorita Josie.
-
And, Gus, when you wanted
to learn how to knit,
-
who showed you how
to work the needles?
-
Um, you did.
-
You knit?
-Yeah.
-
So this is my chance.
-
Well, I´m not holding
your job for you, Geller.
-
Thankyou!
-OK.
-
Don´t make me give you my memo
on interoffice hugging, OK?
-
Now comes the hard part.
-
Oh, my gosh.
You get to be 17 again.
-
OK, what´s the first
thing you´re gonna need?
-
You want Bambi? No way.
-
Rob, please.
-
Why don´t you just
borrow Mom´s car?
-
I can´t use a minivan.
I need a cheap car.
-
Ha ha.
-A vintage classic.
-
It´s just for
a couple of months.
-
A couple of months is
like 10 years in Bambi life.
-
It´s so weird that you
name your cars.
-
Why? Guys name
their penises.
-
OK.
-
You can have my
Buick La Sabre...
-
and name it anything you want.
-
Really?
-
La Sabre.
-
Nah. I don´t think so.
-
Fully loaded.
-
Maybe.
-
Are those shorts or a skirt?
-
They´re gaucho pants.
I got them on sale.
-
Aloha! Welcome!
Every customer gets afree lei.
-
Relax, Vaughn.
It´s just my sister.
-
Aloha, my ass.
-
Shake it easy, buddy.
-
Hey, Rob, have you talked
to the admissions lady...
-
from Lakeshore
Community College yet?
-
No.
-
But you could start
before next semester.
-
You could even talk to her
about a baseball scholarship.
-
It´s too late, Josie,
you know?
-
I´m not going to college.
-
I´m not playing baseball
anymore.
-
This is my life.
-
This is a luau that sells
packing material.
-
You had such a shot
at playing college ball.
-
You let a case of mono stop you.
-
Don´t you wanna move out
of Mom and Dad´s?
-
Pay your own bills?
-
Why? So I can be
as happy as you?
-
I am happy.
-
Besides...
-
You are looking at the newest
undercover reporter...
-
forthe Chicago Sun-Times.
-
I am Josie Geller,
high school student,
-
Senior Class 1999.
-
Uh-uh.
-
You´re kidding, right?
-
What?
-Do you remember high school?
-
It was a long time ago.
-
Do you remember what they
called you in high school?
-
Josie Grossy!
-
Josie...
-
Josie Grossy.
-
I know. I made it up.
-
I didn´t know it was
gonna catch on like it did.
-
Josie...
-
What´s the matter?
You look nauseous.
-
Nauseated...I look nauseated.
-
Hi, Billy.
-
Um, I noticed that you weren´t
in math class today...
-
so, um, I decided to
take some notes for you.
-
Ha ha ha ha!
-
Ha ha ha ha!
-
This is a very bad idea.
-
Hey.
-
Feeling good.
-
My name is Josie.
-
I´m from Scranton, Pennsylvania,
-
the Keystone State.
-
Hold it.
-
Where you going?
-
To high school...
-
because I´m
a high school student.
-
I´m here with
my fellow students.
-
Hey, guys.
-
Hi.
-
Beeper. Appears legitimate.
-
Computer organizer.
-
Recording device.
-
I can
grab a bull´s balls.
-
Appears legitimate.
-
This is
a projectile launcher.
-
That´s a weapon.
-
Class, today we have
the pleasure of exploring...
-
the pantheistic culture
of India.
-
India--
-
Hi. Hello!
-
Willkommen.
Entre, entre.
-
Sorry I´m late.
-
I´m sorry I forgot to take
my hot flash medication today.
-
Please sit.
-
´"Josie.´" right.
-
Mi casa es su casa.
-
That is so sad.
-
I know, like, 5 chickens
had to die...
-
just so she could look
that stupid.
-
Josie, in my classroom,
tardiness is unacceptable.
-
I´m sorry.
-
Well, not as sorry as I am.
-
10 minutes in that hat,
you´ll never be late again.
-
OK. So let´s hear
something about you.
-
Stand up.
-
Stand up.
-
My name is Josie Geller.
-
I´m a high school student.
-
I´m from--
-
Billy?
-
Excuse me.
-
You live in Billy?
-
B-bali.
-
Uh, Billy Bali.
-
Um, it´s a suburb
of Bali proper.
-
Bali! The island nation
of Bali.
-
Fascinating.
-
What did your family do there?
-
Um...We were...
-
Sheep...
-
Sheep farmers.
-
My family raised sheep?
-
research Bali.
-
Kill Anita for picking out
this outfit.
-
Find and destroy sombrero.
-
We sit here.
-Yeah.
-
Sorry. I didn´t know
these seats were assigned.
-
They´re not.
-
Morning, everyone.
-
Morning.
-
I, uh, I don´t thinkwe´ve met.
-
I´m Sam...Coulson.
-
The school has this thing about
letting you guys call me Sam.
-
I´m Josie, but I´m
pretty sure the school...
-
would be OK with you
calling me that.
-
So welcome to Shakespeare´s
As You Like It.
-
Here. We can share.
-
...is an example
of Shakespearean....
-
pastoral comedy.
-
Now, does anyone know
what that means?
-
Oh, yeah. That´s what
they do to milk.
-
No, Sarah. That´s, uh...
-
that´s ´"pasteurize.´"
-
Uh, but it´s close.
-
Parakeet?
-
OK. Anyone else?
-
Josie.
-
Pastoral means
set in the country,
-
originally seen in
the Eclogues of Virgil.
-
It´s from the Latin
´"pastoralis´", to graze.
-
Are you sure you´re 17?
-
Yes.
-
I´m 17.
-
I´m 17.
Of course.
-
Excuse me. Ahem.
-
What´s in the cole slaw?
-
Thankyou.
-
Kirsten, that bran muffin
has like 75 grams offat.
-
Nuh-uh.
-
Did I tell you that
Lisa has hemorrhoids?
-
Hi.
-
Nasty.
-Hi.
-
Hi, Kristin.
-
It´s Keer-sten.
-
Oh. OK.
-
Oh!
-
Well, that´ll teach me to wear
white jeans after Labor Day.
-
I don´t think you´re supposed to
wear white jeans after 1983.
-
Right.
-
Right, right.
-
OK, so, um,
-
like what are your guys´
hopes and dreams?
-
Any interests?
-
Hi.
-
I´m Guy.
-
Hi.
-
Y-yes, y-you are a guy.
-
Quite a guy.
-
Oh, my.
-
That rhymes.
Ha ha ha.
-
Yikes.
-
Bikes.
Ha ha ha!
-
Are you in Special Ed.?
-
I mean, are you?
-
I can´t believe he said that.
-He totally just said that.
-
I´m just gonna go.
-
Ha ha ha ha!
-
Don´t slip, honey.
-
Off the chart.
-
Ohh! How old am I?
-
Approximately 6350 days old.
-
Now, that´s subject
for adjustment...
-
for month of birth.
heeeee!
-
Ha ha!
-
OK.
-
OK, thank you.
-
Let´s do it!
-
Hustle! Hustle!
Come on, girls!
-
Go on! Move it!
Pick up your feet!
-
Come on!
-
A little more
commitment, Geller!
-
Move it!
-
Come on!
-
Must...have water.
-
What do I look like,
your waitress?
-
Now, you are gonna
complete these sprints...
-
because if you don´t, you fail.
-
And if you fail gym,
you´ll never get into college.
-
You guys still tell that lie?
-
That does it, Geller.
-
Drop. Give me 20.
-
No.
-
Don´tworry, Rob.
-
I put premium gasoline in her.
-
Josie, I told you.
Bambi´s a cheap regular girl.
-
Wait a second.
-
Everything is fine, Rob.
I´ll call you later.
-
Josie, don´t hang up
-
They do it
to all the new kids.
-
Who´s they?
-
Guy Perkins
and his amazing lemmings.
-
They push your car out of
its space and hide it,
-
sit up there and watch
while you look for it.
-
I´m Aldys.
-I´m Josie.
-
Aldys. That´s
an interesting name.
-
When it´s not yours.
-
My mom was going through
her Harlequin Romance phase.
-
Tell me about it.
-
Try being named after
a guitar-playing pussycat.
-
Never mind.
-
Listen, would you like
to walk to Nano´s...
-
and get something to eat?
-
Yeah. That would be really nice.
-
So tell me, what are
your hopes and your dreams?
-
What do you want to be?
-
Thank you.
-You´re welcome.
-
I want to be a professor
of medieval literature.
-
I want to be a novelist.
-
I want to be a weekendflautist.
-
I want to be a potter.
I want to be a painter.
-
I want to be an architect,
-
and I want to go
to Northwestern.
-
I went there!
-
For what?
-
Yes. Once to use
the bathroom.
-
Um, they have
a really nice facility.
-
Oh, my God.
-
Hello.
-
I got your message.
-
What the hell kind of story
are you pitching?
-
It´s my dad. He worries.
-Yeah. Mine, too.
-
Yeah, hi, Dad.
I miss you, too.
-
You´re one sick puppy,
you know that, Geller?
-
It´s an exposé
on cafeteria food.
-
Let me guess.
-
You´re leading with the terrible
truth about cole slaw.
-
Well, the bulk of it will
be about the pimento loaf.
-
Geller, you wanna be
a reporter?
-
Take a look at what sells.
-
Sex scandals, bribery,
people jumping off buildings.
-
So, unless some kid
just killed himself...
-
because he was being paid...
-
to have sex with
the school mascot...
-
in a big vat of that cole slaw,
-
you got nothing.
-
Call me when you do.
-
They love to
disconnect the battery, too.
-
Here. Just so
that you know,
-
I think they recalled
these cars in 1974.
-
Yeah, thanks.
-Sure. No problem.
-
Josie, I was wondering...
-
How are you at calculus?
-
I´m good.
-
How would you like
to join the Denominators?
-
We have these really fun
pizza study groups,
-
and we go to these
all-county meets.
-
And not that you need it,
-
and I don´t wanna sound
like the Godfather,
-
but we could offer you
a certain amount of protection,
-
if you know what I mean.
-
Sounds great.
-
´"All the world´s
a stage,
-
and all the men and women,
merely players.´"
-
Does anyone know what
Shakespeare meant by that?
-
Anyone?
-
It´s about disguise.
-
About playing a part.
-
And that´s the theme
of As You Like It.
-
Now, does anyone know
where we can see this?
-
Oh.
-
Well, Rosalind disguises
herself as a man,
-
and then she escapes
into the forest.
-
Right. And it´s when
she´s in costume...
-
that she canfinally express
her love for Orlando.
-
See, the point Shakespeare
is trying to make...
-
is that when we´re
in disguise, we feel freer.
-
We do things we wouldn´t
do in ordinary life.
-
Brett, what happens when you
go out on a football field...
-
in uniform?
-
We kick ass!
Yeah!
-
You yell.
You hit people.
-
You touch other guys´ butts.
-
It´s OK, it´s OK
´cause you´re in uniform.
-
See, disguise
changes all the rules.
-
I tells you a story
-
My first season as a pee wee hockey
-
Well, honestly... I-I was terrible,
I couldn't stay, I was afraid... I was afraid to hit the head
-
My dad, my dad bougth me this brand new helmet...
-
sign by Gordie Howe
-
Come on guys... Gordie Howe!
-
Ok, he was like... like the Tiger Woods of hockey
-
Every time I'd put on this helmet... I mean... I'd feel invincible
I'd skied harder, I'd shaken people left and right
-
I'd even got out of a game once for fight
-
The point here is that disguise can be liberate,
can you get to do things that you never thougt possible
-
And for Rosalind, her male costume,
opens the possibilities for the great love of her life
-
Josie, why don't you read from Act 5,
Scene 2, Rosalind's speech--
-
No sooner had they met but they looked;
-
no sooner looked but they loved;
-
no sooner loved but they sighed..."
-
Does he notice me?
-
Does he hear my heart screaming his name--
-
sometimes it's so loud
I think the Gods can hear my pain.
-
His voice is so mellifluous,
oh to get just one small kiss.
-
O.K., what have you wanted for like ever
but you didn't think it would -ever happen?
-
I'm the most popular girl in school,
and Billy Prince is taking me to prom.
-
Yes.
-
What?
-
Billy Prince is asking you to prom.
-
Why?
-
I don't know.
-
The poem!
-
I knew he liked the poem!
-
Billy Prince is asking me to the prom.
-
That's what I'm saying.
-
Oh my God!
-
I actually speechless, I have no words!
That's never happend to me ever in my life
-
O.K. - just a reminder.
Your paper is due next week.
-
Hey guys!. This is Cindy Anakowski student body's president...
-
Don't forget, don't going to the library
there is this asphalt problem
-
Excuse me, can I open my locker?
-
Now, about prom.
-
Voting about the Prom theme has been completed
and the theme is... The Millenium!!
-
- Rufus! Prom is gonna be Rufus.
- What's Rufus?
-
It's my new cool hippie word.
Spread it around like wild fire
-
Right! Rufus!
-
What is with this school and prom?
-
Southglen South competes every year for best prom...
-
...the theme is everthing darling
So whatever Southglen picks has to be totally unique--
-
"There's a land that I see where the children are free
Come with me, take my hand, and we'll live
-
...In a land where the river runs free
In a land through the green country
And you and me are free to be you and me...
-
What's that?
-
That's the old drive-in. They call it "The Court".
Now it's just a continuous party for Guy's group.
-
Hey! Albo, the dog park is that way. Go!
-
Last I checked--this was still a free country
-
You guys aren't seriously trying to hang out at
The Court, aren't you, Albo?
-
Oooh, cheap wine coolers and a fire in a trashcan.
Where do I sign up?
-
Why don't you go home, figure around
with your calculator, wherever you use it.
-
Figure out how many lifetimes
it will take you to get cool.
-
Have you ever wanted to go to The Court?
-
Are you kidding, Josie? It's lame.
All they do is stand around and get drunk. It's lame.
-
- Yeah, it seems lame.
- Yeah, it's very lame
-
You say that!
-
The Court? Josie, I am appalled
-
Jeez, I know, I mean... who knows that these kids-
-
No, I am appalled because I have a reporter in there,
undercover, for almost three weeks now-
-
and I had to read about this in the Tribune.
-
You're right.
-
I can fold!
-
Seventeen-year-old Kristen David says,
"Yeah, everyone who's anyone is at The Court on Saturday night."
-
S-S-She's right.
I have learned that it is a popular place for the kids to go.
-
This is where the stories are.
-
You become friends with these people.
You are going to party with them.
-
You are going to eat chicken with them.
-
When they go to prom...
you are going to be in their same damn limo!
-
Gus listen, the popular kids and I...
-
Do you even know these kids?
-
They hid my car--
-
Get to know them.Very well.
Your job and my job depends on it.
-
By the way, it's depend, because there is no s.
Your subject is plural
-
Out!
-
Come on! Asses and elbows!
The news doesn't sleep, you know!
-
Yeah, baby!
-
Rob... you're making a mess
-
Do this with mum and dad
-
No. They're still caring to do Franklin
meet Pat at dinner. But I made a pizza.
-
- I can't do it
-
What? Damn, these are high schools girls?
-
We've got some underage hotties on our hands, here!
-
Gus insists that I become friends with these kids.
The popular kids. It's impossible.
-
Why is that impossible?
-
You don't know how it was for me back in high school.
All I wanted was to be accepted...
-
and they just tortured me.
I can't go back to Southglen South.
-
You're at Southglen South?
They have a killer baseball team.
-
Focus, please
-
You're an adult now, Josie.
-
You're successful,
you've gradueted at the top of you class,
-
you work for a newspaper...
-
you wash your hair now--
you're not Josie Grossie anymore.
-
Don't you know how much I
wanted to be you in high school?
-
Just for one day to know what
it was like to be popular?
-
It's not that hard, Josie.
-
All you need is the right person.
-
One person that thinks
you're cool and you're in.
-
Everyone else will be
too scared to question it.
-
Is that true?
-
Yeah, it's a little known fact
-
Don't you wanna show them - Gus, Billy Prince, yourself-
-
Don't you wanna show them that
the cool kids don't freak you out anymore?
-
That you can go in there, you can be friends with them,
and get your story?
-
Yes, desperately
-
Plus, if you quit you're no better than me
-
Better than I...
-
That's the spirit!
-
So let hear it, come on:
"I'm not Josie Grossie anymore"
-
"I'm not Josie Grossie anymore"
-
That's it. Now scream it!
-
"I'm not Josie Grossie anymore"!!!
-
That's good!
-
Josie... and the pussy cats
-
George?! What are you doing here?
-
In the van, go, go...
-
Welcome to the love hut
-
Oh right...
-
George, what is going on?
-
"Captain's wings"
-
What are you doing?
-
Hidden camera
-
- Wings?
- Yeah...
-
That's great but...
I really just talk to Gus until this first
-
Geller, stop being a pain in the ass
-
Gus?
-
No, it's the Great and Powerful Oz.
-
Now look--you're in over your head.
This is how it's gonna work.
-
I review the tapes, I find your story.
-
Battery, transmitter
-
Man!
-
Here we go...
Good luck sweet!
-
I don't think so... George...
why are you so cool?
-
Work, herbs, berries... you know
I'll be watching you
-
Oh, right. Lets get this party start it
-
Oh! Damn!
They weren't such good when I was at high school
-
Hey! Kirsten, Kristen, Gibby--
What's up girlfriends?
-
- I'm ok
- Uh! That's gonna leave a mark
-
And so it is Rosalind, in disguise,
who is best able to see through the disguises of others.
-
To say to Phebe, "Mistress, know thy self,"
-
to look at love from every angle,
-
and to realize, finally,
that she is in love with Orlando--
-
To free both hearts not in judgment but in equality
-
Thank you. That's really well writen, Josie
-
Showtime's over!
-
Come on, move-it! Back to work!
-
Gus, have you ever been in love?
-
Leave
-
Oh give it up, Gus, come on!
I'm just making conversation
-
Love. Who knows what that is?
Deadlines, circulation, those I understand.
-
You know, you should go out
every now and then, Gus;
-
if you put on a couple of new ties,
girls would be all over you.
-
- Anita...
- What?
-
Leave me alone
I have enough work here to last me all night
-
Listen, I don't have anything to do tonight,
so if you like some help? I would like to help you
-
No Roger from op/ed?
-
Nop
-
Excuse me. Do you guys think that we can work out
some kind of schedule I could work around it?
-
Hey, where's your sweatshirt?
-
Oh... I ? uhh, must have forgotten-
-
Don't worry, I have an extra in my locker. I'll get it for you
-

Oh, yeah, I'll still my mum's car, I'll drive

It's "Rufus", "Rufus"
-

-
Two of you?
-

It's nice to meet you too

The way I see "we'are tomorrow"
"Hello I'm tomorrow"

the women come to me...
-
the women come to me
Do what I'm doing
-
If you don't have any moving
Don't movement

Firecracker! You're a firecracker!
-
Firecracker!

Man I don't love her
-
I know this woman,
she is my superior.
-
I'm telling you, Rob! I think I really did it!
I think I'm totally in! I was so cool!
-
You know what's a weird word? Fork.
-
Did I tell you about the new friends I made?
I made friends with a whole table of Rastafarians!
-
Not just one, a whole table!
-
Oh. My God. Someone ate my entire pie.
I don't know how that happened
-
Hi Guy. Guys. Guy's Guys
-
Hi loser
-
- Oh my God!
- Loser!
-
What is going on up here?
-
They 've gone mad
-
Loserrr!!!

Jo, Jo, look up!
-
Loser, see...
Loser, look!
-
Hello!!

Y-Y-Yes!!
-
Oh my God!
-
Oh my God!
-
Come down, just washing it up
we're cool
-
What are you doing?
-
I see you eat some cereal for breakfast
-
It's like the All-Humiliation Network
-
Hello! Oh Hi Billy
-
Ok, I'll be on the jiffer
-
- Have you got fun
- Ok, thanks. Bye, bye!
-
Hi Billy!
-
Hey! write a poem about this, kid
-
Josie? Is that you honey?
-
Josie... get up
-
Josie... are you ok?
-
Josie
-
Are you crazy? What are you doing in here?
-
I just registered.
Check it out. Manufactured at the Tiki Post
-
- Can you do that?
- I just did
-
Jos, this's it. This is my ninth inning!
The game isn't over--I just thought it was!
-
You see, I get on the Southglen baseball team,
the right scout sees me--
-
I'm into the minors-it's game time!
-
- But you're twenty-three years old!
- Yeah, with the reading comprehension of a fifteen year old!
-
Plus, I'm popular... You want to be popular...
I can recognize a cry for help when I see one.
-
Hear one
-
- Whatever
-
- This is so like you. You know, you can't just come
in here and be popular in just one day
-
Rob!
-
I'm the cabbage's salad king of the world
-
Dude, you did rock, man!
-
So hot!
-
Hi. I'm Tracy and I'm sixteen and
I'm a gymnast and I don't have a boyfriend...
-
Cool!
-
Josie?
-
Where were you last night?
I was really worried
-
What?
-
You know, last night. 7:30 Nana's?
-
I kept calling you, but I just got your machine.
-
I don't even know your parents line and I was really worried.
-
I'm sorry, I must forgot
-
Well, maybe you should forget about sitting with us too
-
Oh rigth. Let's get some money for the prom!!
-
Be careful
-
- Where's your partner?
- I don't--I don't have one--
-
I GOT A LONELY RIDE IN BUCKET SEVEN!
-
- SINGLE!
- Do you have to yell like that?
-
Sure I do
-
Thanks
-
This seat taken?
-
Thank you
-
- Thank you
- Welcome
-
Are you--scared?
-
I'm gonna tell you something here,
-
and I hope it doesn't undermine my position
-
as an authority figure but... eh...
-
I'm a little afraid of heights.
-
You're afraid of the Ferris wheel
-
Actually, it's
-
more the plunging head first into the crowd part that gets me
-
If better if you have your Gordie Howe's helmet on it...
-
you feel better
-
You remember that story?
-
I remember everything that you say
-
in the classroom
-
If the bucket's a-rockin',
don't come-a knockin'
-
- Boys
- Yeah
-
Mr Coulson rocks my world!
-
You know, I'd like to tell you that we all grow out of it,
-
but that's a lie. Some of us will always be rattling cages.
-
Why do you do that?
-
I don't know. I don't know
-
And you know what's scary--when you get older...
-
it just gets more confusing.
-
I mean, you know Lara,
-
my girlfriend you met at the club
-
We went out for five years
-
and now she wants me to move to New York
-
And, you know, I mean... I should-should do it
-
You know make the commitment and grow up
-
I know we have our differences
-
You know, I shouldn't be talking about
this stuff with you. I'm sorry.
-
It's nice to have someone to talk to--
-
Yeah, same here
-
All I can tell you is that when you're my age...
-
the guys will be lined up around the block for you
-
You have to say that because you're my teacher.
-
Actually I shouldn't say that, because I'm your teacher
-
Josie Geller? No way men
-
Yeah men
-
She used to date the drummer for
The Big Bad Voodoo Daddys?
-
Yeah, that's something I always wanted to be a drummer, always
-
And then she dum dum
And the drummer...
-
All right that's it
-
Just water and Ex-Lax till prom.
-
I know, it's all about hydration
-
Did you guys know that Josie's dad invented that stuff?
-
Ex-lax. She's the heiress of Ex-lax fortune
-
- Shut up
- No, it's true
-
She´s spends all of
her extra time...
-
with her family on a yacht
in the south of France.
-
Yeah, go!
-
Quick hands! Quick hands!
Here we go.
-
Who´s a winner, huh?
Who´s a winner? Focus.
-
Good work. Good work.
Easy, easy. Good work.
-
Rob, Thanks for showing me
that new grip.
-
It totally changed
my swing, man.
-
Ah, no problem, man.
-
Hey, man. What´s goin´ on?
-
Hey, you guys know
that girl, Josie Geller?
-
Yeah, I know her.
-
You mean Loser?
-
Nah, man, she´s cool.
-
I used to go out with her, man.
-
She dumped me.
-
But we´re still good friends.
-
Hey, really?
-
Yeah, hey, wait.
-
Like, how good?
Like--like good-good?
-
She is amazing.
-
All right. All right.
All right, guys.
-
As you´ve probably noticed,
-
this, uh, this certainly
isn´t English.
-
Um, we´ve combined a few classes
today here for the seminar,
-
and hopefully, the speaker
will be here any minute now.
-
Hi.Hey! Oh, hi.
-
Uh, you here
for the sex talk?
-
Well, ha ha...
-
I like a man who gets
right to the point.
-
Are you Pam?
-
If you say so.
-
OK.
-
Juniors, Seniors,
this is Pam Kitterman.
-
She´s going to lead us
in our sex discussion.
-
What? What?
-
No, I´m not--what?
-
Oh, I am. Right.
That´s correct.
-
Hi. I´m Pam.
I´m Pam. Hi.
-
Uh, sex. Ha ha ha.
-
Well, yeah, sex.
-
Um...what do you say,
really, you know?
-
Uh, you like a guy,
you do it with him,
-
sometimes he calls.
Sometimes he doesn´t.
-
Oh...hi.
-What are you doing here?
-
I had a lunch break,
so I came by to say hello.
-
God, your teacher
is such afox.
-
He´s coming back.
He´s coming back.
-
Uh, why don´twe talk
about that...later?
-
And I just want to say
that the burning sensation...
-
is totally normal.
-
Um, sex is really fun.
-
When you´re old enough,
-
which none of you are.
-
Trust me, I should know.
-
´Cause when you lose it
to some guy named Junior--
-
with bad breath
in the back of a van...
-
at a Guns ´N´ Roses concert...
-
you´ll wish you listened
to your mother when she said,
-
"Nobody´s gonna wanna buy
the whole ice cream truck...
-
when you´re handing out
the popsicles for free."
-
Ahh!
-
Any questions?
-
Oh, I know it´s hard...
-
I mean difficult, difficult,
-
but safe sex
is really important.
-
OK, so just imagine
that the bananas...
-
are the real thing.
-
In a land called
Every Man´s Fantasy.
-
God, I can´t do this.
-
That´s because we don´t
have sex with bananas.
-
OK, wait a second.
-
Do you really think she
hooked up with our Rob?
-
I mean,
they´re so different.
-
Well, sometimes
opposites attract.
-
You know what, though?
-
I feel like I´m really
ready to do it.
-
You know, like, have sex
for the first time.
-
It´s a big deal.
-I know.
-
Just make sure you´ve
found the right person.
-
You know, Adélie penguins,
-
they spend their whole lives...
-
looking for that
one other penguin,
-
and when they meet them,
they know,
-
and they spend the rest
of their lives together.
-
But I´m not a penguin.
-
Oh, it´s an analogy.
-
Excuse me.
-
I have to go die now.
-
Hey, kids, Cindy here.
-
Bad news about the prom.
-
East Glen East is gonna
do Millennium, too.
-
What?!
-
Calm down. Calm down.
-
Calm down! Sit!
-
OK, let´s focus, all right?
It´s--it´s prom theme.
-
All we need is a new idea.
-
Um, how about Under the Sea?
-
Yeah, right.
-
Oh, please.
-Been done.
-
How--how about
the eighties?
-
What do you think
we are, amateurs?
-
All right. All right.
-
Josie.
-
That´s not a theme.
-
Thankyou. Uh, no...
-
OK, Josie will have the answer.
-
Uh, h-how--how--how about
Meantfor Each Other:
-
Famous Couples
Throughout History.
-
Absolutely. Absolutely!
-
we love it.
-That was so brilliant.
-
Here, try these.
-
Gus, listen,
it is a great story.
-
They keep the tags on...
-
and then they return the clothes
afterthey´ve worn them.
-
Gus?
-
Hi.
-
Hi.
-What´s up?
-
I was just looking
at this cardigan.
-
Isn´t it cool?
-
Oh, my God. Like,
there goes another lemming.
-
Good play! Good play!
-Go, Rob!
-
Go, sexy boys.
-
You guys, victory dance.
-
Kegger party
tonight at my house.
-
Yeah!
-
Hey, that was a great play, Rob.
Great play.
-
You know, you may be just
what South Glen needs...
-
to win state this year.
-
Will I get to play in
the championship game?
-
Play in? You´re gonna start!
Short stop, and listen,
-
I don´twant to put
extra pressure on you,
-
but there´s going to be some pro
scouts out there looking.
-
Thanks, Coach Romano.
-You´re welcome.
-
Just glad to be part
of a team again.
-
Josie, you´ve totally
transitioned.
-
Transitioned?
-
Yeah, you crossed over...
-
Into our group.
-
It´s so hard to do.
-
People try all through school
to transition,
-
and never make it.
-
Wannabes.
-
Guy is totally crunching on you.
-
Do I want to be crunched?
-
By Guy?
-
Oh, yeah.
-Oh, yeah.
-
Hi.
-
Splendiferous?
-
Totally.
-
I´m not going
to her again.
-
She calls it a pedicure?
-
She wants me.
-
Bye. Out.
Good night. Bye.
-
Ms. Haskell is gone
and forgotten. Next...
-
sack races
at the company picnic.
-
Yes or no?
-
Sorry I´m late.
-
I love that top.
-
Thank you. The horse shoes.
-
It´s all about
horse shoes.
-
Excuse me?
-
I´m trying to get
to a tennis game.
-
Could you please tell me,
-
what is the status
of your story, Ms. Geller?
-
Oh, uh, great.
-
Totally rufus.
-
Is this something
I possibly could see?
-
I--I have some notes.
-
I don´t need your notes.
I need your story.
-
Though I must speak
for all of us here,
-
I have seen your tapes.
Compelling stuff.
-
But I want the story
in two weeks.
-
Two weeks, Ms. Geller,
-
or I´ll "rufus" you
right outta here.
-
I think you´re going
to be a great reporter,
-
but if you aren´t,
you and Gus are fired.
-
Next order of business.
-
Yes or no?
-
Hello, you guys.
-
Hi, guys.
-I´m Rob´s prom date.
-
Really?
-Yeah.
-
Oh, my God. Wow!
-
Yeah...yeah...
-
She´s 16 years old, Rob.
-l know. And a gymnast.
-
Rob, it´s completely
and totally illegal.
-
I´ll tell you why, for
the following reasons--
-
Hi.
-Hi.
-
Uh...
-
I gotta talk to you.
-
I need some air.
-
I´ll see you around
the cellblock, Mrs. Robinson.
-
Hey, Rob?
-
What do you want to be
when you grow up?
-
Ball player.
-
Yeah, I know, but, I mean,
what if you don´t make it?
-
I mean, you don´t want
to be working...
-
at the mail place for
the rest of your life.
-
Uh, it´s OK for an
after-school job, but...
-
"Hi, I´m Rob and I run
the Tiki Post"?
-
Totally lame.
-
Is this like a lemon meringue
pie color or something?
-
It´s--it´s, uh...
-
Oh, you know what?
-
Maybe we should go
into another room.
-
Uh, I´ve checked each and
every one of these rooms.
-
There´s, I mean,
serious couples in there.
-
This is fine. This is fine.
-
Someone´s gettin´ hooked up.
-Yeah, baby.
-
Wow. Rob´s sister is a loser.
-
Um, please come here.
-
I need to talk to you
about something.
-
It´s a comfy bed.
-
OK.
-
Yeah, it´s nice.
It´s nice.
-
Uh...
-
I know that you´ve
probably already heard...
-
that I want to ask you
to prom, but, uh...
-
there´s something different
about it asking in person.
-
I know that we didn´t
hit it off in the beginning.
-
And, uh, I--I really--
-
Yes.
-
Yes.
-
It´s rufus.
-
Uh...
-
Where do I pick you up?
-
How do we arrange this?
What do I do?
-
Uh, we can meet here at Rob´s,
-
and we can all share
a limousine together.
-
Thank you.
-
H-h-have a good evening.
-
And--and thank you.
-
Hey, Josie. Hey, Rob.
-
Lookin´ good, guys.
-
Josie, Robster,
rufus kegger.
-
You were wasted.
-
It´s so unbelievable.
-
I waited my whole life
to fit in,
-
and I finally
feel like I do.
-
You do.
-
Hey, Rob. Hi, Josie.
-
Who did Archie date,
Betty or Veronica?
-
Yeah, both.
-See?
-
I always liked Betty better.
-
Really?
-
Betty was so fun
and spunky.
-
I mean, Veronica
had the great legs.
-
She was too moody.
-
Very high maintenance.
-
You can´t refuse to sell me
a ticket to prom!
-
Listen, Alpo,
-
we can do whatever
we want to.
-
Oh, I see. You can´t
count change?
-
My God, I´ll like make
it easy, OK?
-
Here´s the money.
I´m taking the ticket.
-
Oh, my God!
-
She was mocking us.
-
Did you see that?
-
We got ta make her dog food.
Seriously.
-
She is going down.
-
Oh, I almost forgot.
-
I got you a meeting
with the admissions guy...
-
from Dartmouth.
-
Dartmouth?
-
But, um...
-
I wasn´t going to go
to college.
-
No, no.
I pulled some strings.
-
And I got them to look
at your writing,
-
and, he agreed
to meet with you.
-
You believe in me that much?
-
Of course I do, Josie.
-
You owe it to yourself,
to your writing,
-
to go to college.
-
You are a great writer.
-
You just have to find
your story.
-
He is your story.
-
You´re crazy. No.
-
No!
-
No.
-
What do you mean no?
-
He´s got it all--
sex, intrigue,
-
immorality in
the education system.
-
He´s my teacher.
-
Yeah, that´s the best part.
-
"Student-teacher Relations:
How Close is Too Close?"
-
Josie, we´re gonna
blow the lid off it.
-
There is no lid.
-
There´s nothing
going on between Sa--
-
Mr. Coulson and me.
-Who are you kidding?
-
Everyone in this office is here
every day, watching you two.
-
It´s like the goddamn
Young and the Restless.
-
Rigfort is salivating over it.
-
You pitched this
to Rigfort?
-
Josie, this isn´t a joke.
-
You heard Rigfort.
Both our asses are on the line.
-
Now, this is the story.
-
Call me when you´ve got it.
-
Josie, you look so...
-
Rufus?
-
Yes, exactly.
-
Major rufus.
-
What are you supposed to be?
-
Duh.
-
Tom Cruise. Risky Business.
-
That´s nice.
-
Thank you for everything, Rob.
-
It´s all really happening,
-
and I know it´s because of you.
-
My wallet.
-
Where are you gonna put it?
-
Come on, beautiful.
-
Let´s go.
-
Hey, how you doing?
-
Hello! If you
don´t hurry,
-
we´re gonna miss
the whole thing.
-
Yeah, we´ll talk.
-
Oh, my God.
-
You totally ripped off
my Malibu Barbie idea.
-
Uh-uh. I´m Disco Barbie.
-
And I´m Evening Gown Barbie.
-
Hey...
-
Josie darling,
you look rufus.
-
Who are you guys?
-
Wait, wait, wait.
Don´t tell me.
-
You´re Medieval Barbie?
-
Get over it.
-
We´re Rosalind and Orlando.
-
Shakespeare?
-
Look, I get to have a sword.
-
Oh, my God!
-That is so awesome!
-
It´s so big.
I want a sword.
-
All right,
look at this place.
-
Yeah.
-
Come on, let´s dance.
I´m Tom Cruise.
-
Hi. How are you?
-
This is the most beautiful prom
I´ve ever been to.
-
Work, work, work.
Work it. Merk, Merk.
-
Thanks.
-
I guess I know...
-
Kristin, what are you doing?
-
Practicing my surprise face
for when they name prom court.
-
Ohh.
-
Oh, sorry. There´s
no room at this table.
-
It´s just too bad for them.
-
Heh heh heh heh.
-
Oh, wait. I forgot.
-
A little surprise for ya.
-
Did I miss the crowning?
-
No, but I´m closing
the pool in 5 minutes.
-
Josie´s odds
are 3 to 1.
-
2 to 1 for
the prom court.
-
Even money that that kid
pokes himself with the sword...
-
by the end of the evening.
-
The time is now
to start the show...
-
OK, maybe we should
sit down.
-
OK.
-
OK.
-
Whoa.
-
No.
-
Are you having fun yet?
-
Uh, yeah.
-
Definitely.
-
Guess what.
-What?
-
Gibby gave me champagne.
-That´s nice.
-
Rob...
-
I´ve been thinking.
-
And I think...
-
I mean, I know...
-
You´re the one.
-
Oh. Heh heh.
-
My penguin.
-
I want you to be my first.
-
Once the floor stops spinning,
-Oh, God.
-
Let´s have sex.
-
You´re gonna hurtyourself.
Putthat down.
-
All right. Um...
-
Tell you what, Tracy.
-What?
-
I´m flattered...
-
But, um...
-
I´d say I´m gonna go
get some more punch,
-
and then we´ll go
on the dance floor and boogie.
-
That´s good.
-
No. Oh...
-
Help. I´m stuck.
-
Brett.
-
You guys, what is the one thing
that could ruin my senior prom?
-
Heh. That you would trip
on your Barbie heels,
-
and I´d be named prom queen?
-
Did I just say that out loud?
-
So, who are you supposed to be
other than freaks?
-
Yeah.
-
We´re DNA.
Double helix.
-
Oh, but I guess you´d
actually know that...
-
if you´d passed Bio.
-
No, no, no.
-
Don´t touch the hydrogen.
It´s rented.
-
Here we go,
ladies and gentlemen.
-
Give it upfor
Mr. Coulson and Ms. Knox.
-
OK, OK. Enough.
-
Well, our 1999 prom court.
-
And the princesses are...
-
Miss Kristin Davis...
-
Miss Kirsten Liosis
and Miss Gibby Zerefski.
-
And the princes are...
-
Mr. Thomas Salomme...
-
Mr. Jason Way...
-
And Mr. Rob...
-
Mr. Rob...
-
Mr. Rob! Yeah!
-
Mr. Rob!
-
That´s me!
-
Yeah!
-
All right!
-
Next up,
South Glen´s prom king--
-
Guy Perkins.
-
Very nice.
-
And this year´s prom queen--
-
ladies and gentlemen...
-
Josie Geller.
-
Yeah!
-
Yeah!
-
I knew you could do it, girl.
-
Yeah!
-
And as is custom...
-
the king and the queen...
-
will now have their first dance.
-
I never made it
to my prom.
-
Really?
-
I only made it to
the parking lot.
-
Tell me what you´re thinking.
-
I was thinking
about Shakespeare.
-
How he described
a night like this.
-
"Look how the floor of heaven...
-
is thick inlaid with
pateens of bright gold."
-
What are you thinking about?
-
My sword.
-
Oh. Heh heh.
-
Josie, you rock my world.
-
You´re like the most amazing
girl that I´ve ever...dated.
-
You´re so fun to be with.
You´re smart. You´re...
-
crazy.
-
You are...
-
You rock my world.
-
Heh.
-
You said that already.
-Yeah.
-
Is this chocolate? OK.
-
Hey.
-Hi.
-
Wow. Josie, you make
a really beautiful prom queen.
-
Really?
-
Thanks. So do you.
-
Heh. You know, I always feel
like kind of a goofball...
-
in these penguin suits,
-
like I´m at my own wedding
or something.
-
Do you wanna--
do you wanna...
-
OK.
-
Hello.
-
Aldys, I figured
since it´s prom,
-
let´s put all
the shit behind us,
-
and I would love nothing more
than to dance with you.
-
All right.
-
That´s, of course,
-
if it´s OK with the rest
of the double helix.
-
Yes? OK?
-
Haven´t had a dream
in a long time
-
See the life I´ve had to make...
-
You know what´s funny?
-
Proms always make me
a little sad.
-
They´re so final.
-
You know, graduation,
-
everyone scattering, moving on.
-
Is your girlfriend here?
-
No, no. I´m alone.
-
Infact, we broke up
last week.
-
Really?
-
That´s funny
because, you know,
-
actually, prom comes
from "promenade,"
-
And you can´t promenade
alone, can you?
-
You´re amazing,
Josie Geller.
-
Oh, oh. Come here.
-Come on.
-
Come on.
-
Have you thought about
Dartmouth anymore?
-
Yes.
-
And, um...
-
There´s something that
I want to tell you.
-
Tell him what?!
-
No, no, no, not now.
Not now!
-
There´s...
-
There´s something
I want to tell you, too.
-
No!
-
No!
-
I knew it.
-
You are a loser!
-
You ruined everything.
-
You so do not deserve
to be prom queen!
-
Let me tell you something.
-
I don´t care...
-
about being
your stupid prom queen.
-
I´m 25 years old!
-
I´m an undercover reporter...
-
for the Chicago Sun-Times.
-
And I have been
beating my brains out...
-
trying to impress you people.
-
Let me tell you
something, Gibby,
-
Kirsten, Kristin,
-
you will spend your lives...
-
trying to figure out
how to keep others down...
-
because it makes you
feel more important.
-
Why her?
-
Let me tell you something...
-
about this girl.
-
She is unbelievable.
-
I was new here,
and she befriended me,
-
no questions asked.
-
But you,
you were only my friend...
-
after my brother Rob...
-
posed as a student...
-
and told you to like me.
-
Robbie Rob? Ew.
-
All of you people--
-
there is a big world out there,
-
bigger than prom,
-
bigger than high school,
-
and it won´t matter
if you were the prom queen...
-
or the...the quarterback
of the football team...
-
or...the biggest nerd in school.
-
Find out who you are...
-
and try not to be afraid of it.
-
E-excuse me.
-
Whoo!
-
Whoo! Yeah!
-
That was just like Carrie.
-
I thought she was gonna
kill us all.
-
All right, you guys.
Go Rams.
-
Well, all right.
-
Can somebody take
the Alpo girls outside...
-
and hose ´em off?
-
South Glen class of 1999,
-
are you ready to party?!
-
Hello. We lost the feed.
Gus is going nuts.
-
He´s calling
every five minutes.
-
Did you get the story?
-
No.
-
Please tell me you got
something on Coulson.
-
No.
-
I´m just gonna go.
-
So...
-
Surprise.
-
S-surprise, you were
doing a story on me?
-
No, I couldn´t. I mean...
-
Surprise, I was hoping...
-
What? What, you were
hoping what? What?
-
That--that I´d be happy?
-
Why? Because itturns out I was
allowed to be attracted to you?
-
You were
attracted to me?
-
God damn it, Josie,
you set me upfor a story.
-
No, I--I--
-
Just--just dropthe act.
-
OK?
-
I mean, every word
out of your mouth...
-
has been a complete lie.
-
I don´t know you at all.
-
Look, if we could just spend
some time together,
-
you could get
to know me again.
-
Wait. Please don´t walk away.
-
I just can´t look at you
the same way.
-
Rob.
-
Hey, Josie.
-
Came by to check on you.
I was worried about you.
-
Really?
-
No.
-
Not really.
-
Not really, Josie.
-
How could you do this to me?
-
I helped you. I got you
everything you wanted.
-
And how do you repay me?
-
You blow everything...
-
two days before
the championship.
-
I wasn´t even thinking.
-
No, you weren´t.
-
Did it ever occur to you that
the only time I´ve been happy...
-
in the past five years
is when I´m playing ball,
-
when I´m part of a team?
-
Josie, it´s not even
about playing.
-
I taught those guys things,
-
I helped them.
-
My life had meaning.
-
I...
-
Justforget about it.
It´s over.
-
Back to the Tiki Post.
Totally lame.
-
Josie Geller
blows her cover.
-
And we were scooped.
-
We´ve got nothing.
-
Zippo.
-
Josie, you totally and
completely screwed both of us.
-
Maybe--maybe I could
talk to Rigfort,
-
tell him the whole story.
-
You know, I´ll tell you
a story, OK?
-
It´s about
this shy copy editor...
-
who makes a total mockery
of herself and her boss...
-
when she completely botches...
-
her first assignment as
a reporter.
-
We are not...screwed.
-
Yes, I made a mistake.
-
But we will have a story, OK?
-
You will have an amazing story.
-
Please.
-
Oh, please. Oh, please.
-
Excuse me, gentlemen.
-
I suggest you cover up
what you don´t want seen.
-
Thank you.
-
Coach Romano?
-Yeah.
-
I´m Josie Geller from
the Chicago Sun-Times,
-
and I have a favor
to ask you.
-
Do you know the
sports guy--Jim Lankin?
-
Sure. Everybody knows Big Jim.
-
They try to get him to come out
and watch all their games. Why?
-
Well, what if I told you...
-
that I can guarantee you
that Big Jim...
-
and every other reporter
in the area...
-
would cover your game?
-
Well, I´d say you could have
whatever you wanted, young lady.
-
Someone once told me...
-
that to write well,
you have to write what you know.
-
This is what I know--
-
I´m 25 years old,
-
and I have never really
kissed a guy.
-
A geek to the core, most of
my childhood years were spent...
-
doing extra homework I requested
from the teacher.
-
High school was more
of the same.
-
Then, at 17,
-
it seemed as if my luck
was aboutto change.
-
The cutest guy asked me
to the senior prom,
-
but it turned out he invited
me as a cruel joke,
-
and I have never
fully recovered.
-
Yes, it is embarrassing
to share this with the world,
-
but it would
be hard to explain...
-
what I learned
and how I learned it...
-
without sharing this
humiliating history.
-
I received an assignment,
my first as a reporter,
-
to go back to high school
and find out about kids today.
-
What I ended up finding
was myself...
-
and that high school
hasn´t changed.
-
There´s still that one teacher
who marches to her own drummer.
-
Those girls are still there,
-
the ones that,
even as you grow up,
-
will remain
the most beautiful girls...
-
you have ever seen close up.
-
The smart kids,
-
who everyone else knew
as "the brains,"
-
but I just knew them
as my soul mates,
-
my teachers,
-
my friends.
-
And there´s still
that one guy...
-
with his mysterious
confidence...
-
who seems so perfect
in every way.
-
The guy you get up and go to
school for in the morning.
-
South Glen would not have been
the same without him.
-
High school would not have
been the same without him.
-
I would not have been
the same without him.
-
I lived a lifetime of regret...
-
after my first
high school experience.
-
And now, after my second,
my regrets are down to one.
-
A certain teacher was hurt
on my path to self-discovery,
-
and although this article
may serve as a step,
-
it in no way makes up
for what I did to him.
-
To this man...
-
You know who you are...
-
I am so sorry.
-
And I would like to add
one more thing...
-
Movers!
Hang on a second.
-
I think I am in love with you.
-
And so I propose this--
-
as an ending to this article
and perhaps a beginning...
-
to the next chapter
of my life,
-
I, Josie Geller,
-
will be at the state
championship baseball game,
-
where myfriends,
the South Glen Rams,
-
are playing for the title.
-
I will stand on
the pitcher´s mound
-
for five minutes prior
to the first pitch.
-
If this man
accepts my apology,
-
I ask him to come kiss me...
-
for my first real kiss.
-
Thank you all for coming.
-
Josie.
-
Oh, my God. There are
so many people here.
-
It´s great, Josie.
-
They´re behind you.
-
They feel like they know you.
-
It´s romantic
what you´re doing,
-
and they want
to be a part of it.
-
Well, I´m glad
that you guys are.
-
Oh, Anita.
-
Sweet Jesus, Geller.
I had no idea...
-
there´d be this many
TV crews here.
-
You have held up your
end of this bargain.
-
I want you to get out
there and get him.
-
Josie...
-
Josie...
-
Josie...
-
Josie...
-
Yay, Josie!
-
Josie!
-
We love you!
-
Thankyou.
-
Um, may I have five minutes
on the clock, please?
-
Wieners. I got hotwieners.
-
Hiya, Mr. Rigfort.
-
Get in your own row!
-
Gotwieners here.
-
Thank you.
-
Have a wiener.
-
Ahh...I love this.
-
Sun-Times readers
out here en masse,
-
relating personally
to one of our reporters.
-
It´s amazing, isn´t it?
-
That is so wrong.
-
Hey.
-
Well, it´s been
building up inside of me
-
For, oh, I don´t know
how long
-
I don´t know why,
but I keep thinking
-
Something´s bound
to go wrong
-
But she looks
in my eyes
-
And makes me realize
-
And she says
-
Don´tworry, baby
-
Don´tworry, baby
-
Don´tworry, baby
-
Everything will
turn out all right
-
Don´tworry, baby
-
Don´tworry,

-
Don´tworry, baby
-
Sorry I´m late.
-
It took meforever
to get here.

-
All right,

-
Yeah.
-Come on!
-
Monday mornin´
came too soon
-
I think about you now,
layin´ in my room
-
Hearin´ everything

-
I play it back
a hundred times in my head
-
But then I slip
into a dream
-
Feeling inside,
that´s 10 stories high
-
Never knew what love was
-
Until you loved me
-
Never knew what love was
