Blockers Page #3

---

- Yeah, I... me, neither.

- (school bell ringing)

Oh, my God.

(chuckles)

LISA:

Julie, is that you?

So realistic.

(cell phone buzzing)

Ugh. God.

BRENDA:

Come on, Sam, we're waiting.

Be right there!

- There she is.

- All right, took me 20 minutes

to figure out how to do

video on this thing,

but I finally got it.

- BRENDA:
Oh!

- (camera clicks)

Nope. Took a picture of myself.

Siri, video, please.

BRENDA:

Wow! That Chad is going to rip

through his little

tuxedo pants.

- Mom. That's gross.

- What?

- Why?

- 'Cause you're practically imagining

your daughter

in sexual congress.

You sicko.

Ah!

I was just trying

to connect with you.

You never talk to us anymore.

- Hey, I got this.

- Okay.

(sighs)

Prom night, huh?

I got sad and reflective

on my prom night, too.

- You were?

- Yeah. I was scared I wasn't

gonna stay friends

with the guys I had

been around most of my life,

but I was able to...

- Hey, baby, I love you so much.

- What?

You just really

freaked her out.

Sweetie, if you're worried

about that at all,

just know you shouldn't be.

You never stay friends

with people from high school.

I mean, the oldest friend

I have is Jan

from work, and I've known her

for three months.

- Who's Jan?

- You know Jan, babe.

She draws those silly cartoons.

- Oh, racist Jan.

- Yeah, that's the one.

Who you are today

is not who you're going to be.

And that's okay.

- FRANK:
That's good therapy.

- And who you become will be

so different that your friends

won't understand you anymore,

and then you will wake up

and realize

these friendships are over.

This feels like

a very painful divorce,

just like the one I had

with your father,

but then you'll find a Frank.

Uh, I appreciate that,

but that's not my deal.

I'm still cool

with a lot of my boys because

on prom night,

me, Dennis, Matt and Cory

all convinced our friend Steve

to join the Army.

He fought

in the Persian Gulf War.

He died right away.

- (Brenda sighs)

- But once you go through

something like that,

you're bonded for life.

The bedrock of deep,

meaningful friendships

is shared experience.

I thought they were gonna

put him in the Reserves.

That is some horseshit.

Hmm.

(footsteps approaching)

Wow.

You look so beautiful.

(gasps) Turn around.

- Wow.

- (Julie chuckles)

Oh, my goodness.

Wow.

So, what's the big plan

for after prom?

Uh, we're just going

to Austin's.

You really like him, huh?

Yeah. Yeah, I mean, he's...

Yeah, he's cool. It's not,

like, serious or anything.

His mom told me

he got into UCLA.

- That's nice.

- Yeah, I mean, it's good.

You remember that time

when, like,

I thought about going to UCLA?
