Enid stops and looks back at the school. She gives it THE

FINGER. They sit on a see-saw, out of breath.

ENID:

God, what a bunch of retards...

REBECCA:

I thought Chipmunk-face was never

going to shut up.

ENID:

I know, I liked her better when she

was an alcoholic crack addict! She

gets in one car wreck and all of a

sudden she's Little Miss Perfect and

everybody loves her.

REBECCA:

It's totally sickening.

(she unrolls her

DIPLOMA)

Let's see if they gave me the right

diploma...

Enid opens hers. Instead of a diploma, it's an OFFICIAL

LOOKING DOCUMENT with a pink Post-It note on the front page.

ENID:

What?... Oh suck my f***ing dick!

REBECCA:

What?

ENID:

These a**holes are saying that I

have to go to Summer school and take

some stupid art class!

REBECCA:

Why?

ENID:

Remember that stupid hippie art

teacher who failed me sophomore year?

I didn't think that just because you

get an "F" that means you have to

take the class over again.

REBECCA:

You loser.

EXT. "DAYS INN" HOTEL - EVENING

The sign reads "Welcome Graduates".

INT. "DAYS INN" HOTEL - EVENING

Party in progress in the "Gold Room". A band plays TOP-40

"lite" rock

REBECCA:

(watching band)

This is so bad, it's almost good.

ENID:

This is so bad it's gone past good

and back to bad again...

CLOSE-UP ON ENID, we see the party from her POV: The six or

seven MOST POPULAR STUDENTS huddle closely together.
