As Cool as I Am Page #3

Synopsis: Sixteen-year-old Lucy is a tomboy. She gets on well with her father but is frequently separated from him for months on end when he goes to work in Canada. Her relationship with her mother is easy-going and she takes care of most things around the house. She tunes into her sexuality and her not so 'stable' family dynamics. She develops a relationship with her best friend Kenny and starts to realize that her parents' marriage is not as solid as she had previously imagined. She notices that her father's extended stays away from the family are not typical, and that her mother does not pine for her father as much as she herself does.

I lost my parents at 16.

And there is my boyfriend, Ron.

And Chuck... I mean my husband.

And I had Lucy at seventeen.

I was pretty much a total mess.

You probably hear this all

the time but

you've made me see myself

in this whole other...

Shh...

It's so much loss at such a young age,

and we all heal at our own pace.

Is this something I'm gonna

need to lie about?

Lucy, what're you doing?

What am I doing? It's 5 a.m.!

Oh, I- I'm sorry, Lucy.

I should've called.

I fell asleep at my desk.

And where were you

calling, Uzbekistan?

I just came home to shower,

and change clothes

and then it's straight back to work to start

the whole thing all over again.

And that's the best you can do?

"I fell asleep at my desk?"

You know...

it's been a long night.

Yeah! It's been a long night here, too.

Nice clogs.

Nice transsexual

beauty queen costume.

- You know school's back today.

- I knew that.

I was just checking.

I didn't know how

much you'd forgotten

about your alleged family life.

Well, have a great day, honey... okay!

I'm gonna be back home early tonight.

Are you gonna need to be

congratulated for that?

All right, so just, um... remember,

no sexual energy. Okay?

I mean, if these people even sense that we're

going out, we'd be ripped to shreds.

Hey! We're going out?

I don't... I mean, I don't know...

I thought we might...

Why? Because of all the massive

spring break makeout sessions?

- Yeah, because of that!

- It was 100 percent platonic.

Just become invisible. Try to keep

your animal desires under wraps.

Oh... it'll be a tremendous struggle.

Stop...

I mean, we're just these trained poodles

jumping through hoops.

High school's not intended to

challenge our intellect,

it doesn't even prepare us

for anything real in life.

I mean what? After four years of

poodle-training we graduate,

and if we're really lucky

ours parents get to spend thousands

of dollars on four more years

- of higher poodle education...

- Hey... what's up, Lucy?

Hi...?

Where have you been?

I never see you out or anything.

There's a party after

the game on Friday.

I don't go to parties.

You should definitely

start going to parties.

I'll text you the address.

I'll see you there.

How can you go off

about poodle theory,

when you're Mister Straight-A 4.0?

How does Justin Havens

have your cell number?

I don't know.

I don't even know how

he knows my name.

I don't get a 4.0,

- I always get a B in something.

- Why?

- I got the power!

- That's very "gangsta" of you.

We're doomed.

You're too beautiful to be invisible anymore.

Please don't say that!

Beautiful people are

shallow and self-absorbed.

And come on... they never grow up.
