Fast Times at Ridgemont High Page #3

Synopsis: Stacy Hamilton (Jennifer Jason Leigh) is a pretty, but inexperienced, teen interested in dating. Given advice by her uninhibited friend, Linda Barrett (Phoebe Cates), Stacy gets trapped in a love triangle with nice guy Mark Ratner (Brian Backer) and his more assured buddy Mike Damone (Robert Romanus). Meanwhile, Stacy's classmate Jeff Spicoli (Sean Penn), who lives for surfing and being stoned, faces off against Mr. Hand (Ray Walston), a strict teacher who has no time for the slacker's antics.

The Girl nods.

LINDA (CONT'D)

All right, what you want to do is

go to the Free Clinic and tell the

doctor that you have sex regularly

- several times a week -- and that

you need Nornel One Plus Fifty's.

GIRL:

And they don't call my parents?

LINDA:

Not if you're over sixteen.

GIRL:

Okay. Thanks a lot, Linda.

LINDA:

And don't let them talk you into a

diaphragm either.

The Girl thanks Linda again. Linda and Stacy get to

the back exit of the mall and Linda uses a key to

open the door.

STACY:

I can't believe I start high school

tomorrow.

LINDA:

Believe it.

They exit the mall, into the night.

EXT. RIDGEMONT SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL - DAY

We see all the elements of the first day of school.

The students carry new books, explore new lockers,

begin to stake out their ground.

Someone has taken the steel letters from the green

vanguard out front. It reads: "IDG MON SENOR HI

HO."

The rest of Ridgemont High is covered with toilet

paper. And a black spray paint message along the

side of the front office building reads, "LINCOLN

SURF NAZIS."

EXT. RIDGEMONT PARKING LOT - DAY

Brad pulls into the Ridgemont High parking lot. He

drives a beat-up, four-door model LTD sedan. Three

friends wait for him near his parking space.

They are dressed in the same golf caps with brand

logos on the front like CAT, NATIONAL and CHAINSAW.

BUDDY #1

Hamilton!

BUDDY #2

The cruising vessel! Hey -- Yooooo!

Brad climbs out of his car and pats it admiringly.

BRAD:

Six more payments, gentlemen.

Brad joins his friends, and they walk towards the

gymnasium.

EXT. RIDGEMONT PARKING LOT

We see a shiny, new, blue Mustang whip into the

parking lot. Students scatter from the parking

space. Behind the wheel is football star Charles

Jefferson. A huge, black kid. The halls at

Ridgemont part for Charles Jefferson.

Rat and Damone are in the parking lot. Damone

surrounded by underclassmen (customers) selling

tickets.

DAMONE:

See that Mustang? U.C.L.A. gave

Charles Jefferson that car when he

was a sophomore.

The underclassmen are impressed. They watch as

Jefferson opens his car door and stands to his full

height, over six-foot tall. He opens his trunk and

pulls out no books, just a football duffel bag. He

slowly walks by Damone, Rat and the underclassmen.

DAMONE (CONT'D)

How ya doing! That car looks great,

Charles!

Jefferson gives Damone a death glare.

JEFFERSON:

Don't... f***... with... it.

He moves on. Damone resumes selling tickets.

DAMONE:

Sh*t, that's my man.

EXT. RIDGEMONT PARKING LOT

We see a clutching, smooching couple walk by.

Cheerleader Cindy Carr and her boyfriend, Gregg

Adams.

EXT. RIDGEMONT PARKING LOT - DAY

The Four Stoners (from Carl's Jr.) tumble out of a

van in the parking lot. They head towards the

gymnasium.
