There's Something About Mary Page #4

FRIEND #1

You're a f***ing liar!

EXT. CUMBERLAND HIGH SCHOOL - DAY

PULLBACK TO REVEAL - Ted is leaning against his locker

surrounded by a group of guys.

FRIEND #2

You expect us to believe you're going to

the prom with Mary? What about Woogie?

TED:

They broke up. She said he started getting

weird on her.

FRIEND #1

I got twenty bucks says you're full of

sh*t.

TED:

Oh come on, why would I lie?

FRIEND #1

Because you're a loser, and in some warped

way this gives you a momentary sense of

worth.

FRIEND #2

Put me down for fifty.

FRIEND #3

I'm in.

As the others join in, we

CUT TO:

EXT. MARY'S HOUSE - TWILIGHT

A tuxedoed and smiling Ted drives up in his parent's station

wagon.

EXT. MARY' S FRONT DOOR - TWILIGHT

Ted knocks on the door and Mary's gruff DAD answers.

MARY'S DAD

Yeah? What do you want?

TED:

Um, hi, I'm Ted Peloquin. I'm here to take

Mary to the prom.

MARY'S DAD

Prom? You're about twenty minutes late. She

just left for the prom with her boyfriend

Woogie.

Ted looks devastated. Suddenly the door swings open revealing

MARY'S MOM.

MARY'S MOM

Charlie, that's mean. Come on in, Ted.

Don't listen to Mr. Wise Guy here. He's a

joke a minute.

TED:

Oh.

(relieved)

Oh, that's a good one.

INT. MARY'S HOUSE - TWILIGHT

Ted nervously enters and sees Warren watching T.V. in the den.

TED:

Hey, Warren.

Warren doesn't look his way.

Just then Mary comes down the stairs looking as if the directors

had really taken their time casting this role. Ted can't believe

his eyes.

MARY:

Hi, Ted.

TED:

Hi, Mary.

MARY'S MOM

Poor Teddy--he's been getting it both

barrels from the Wisenheimer here.

MARY:

Dad, have you been busting Ted's chops?

Mary's Dad shrugs.

MARY (cont'd)

Warren, did you say hi to Ted?

WARREN:

(not looking up)

'Bout ten times.

TED:

Hey, Warren, I think I know where your

baseball is.
