How To Deal Page #2

Synopsis: Halley is a young high school student who is disillusioned with love after seeing the many dysfunctional relationships around her. Her parents are now divorced and her father has a new young girlfriend she doesn't care for too much. Her mother is now always alone; and her sister is so overwhelmed by her upcoming wedding that she barely leaves the house anymore. On top of that, the shallowness of all the girls and guys at her school convinces Halley that finding true love is impossible. A tragic accident, however, leads her to meeting Macon, and suddenly Halley finds that true love can occur under unusual circumstances.

were gonna help.

Lighten up, Sherwood.

'The first time we met,

you stole my heart. '

'Good luck in finding

a compatible organ donor. ' Nice.

I'm kidding, okay?

It's blank inside.

You know something?

You're not too funny.

This girl is amazing...

unlike you...

and she's sensitive...

unlike you.

And she's sexy.

Unlike you.

There's gotta be a card...

- Is that Michael?

For a redhead from...

- I can't see.

A newly smitten

hunka hunka burning love.

I mean... Look.

Summer romance

has its own section.

It's not a summer romance. I mean...

Scarlett is...

- Standing right behind you, dude.

Hi.

Sneaking up on me?

Hi, Halley.

- Hi.

You remember my name?

Sure. We were in Biology together.

Yeah, I know, but...

well, you were never there,

really... technically.

I like your hair.

Thank you.

See, my schedule is all wrong,

which I think is a sign

that nothing's going

according to plan this year.

It's a complete and total mess.

Looks like a fine schedule to me.

No. Band?

I would never sign up for band.

What's wrong with band?

- I don't play anything.

Well, maybe you should.

I'm sure you can handle it.

Mrs. Toussaint,

this is not my schedule.

Look, I'm signed up for Algebra,

and I've already taken Calculus.

Maybe a brush-up is a good thing,

not to mention a good grade.

Why don't you just give it a shot

before you decide anything?

Okay, I'm signed up for boys' P. E.

- Fill out this form.

Daddy Dog.

- We'll start again.

Len Martin with a traffic update

from that love puppy in the skies,

our very own Lorna Queen.

Lorna, you up there?

Hi, Len.

On a clear day,

you can see forever,

and this is one beautiful morning.

Should we tell everyone

our little secret?

Careful. Baby,

you sure this is the time?

I am bursting at the seams

to tell everyone we're eloping.

I just spilled the beans.

That is your father's show, right?

I just love it.

Hi.

Tell him congratulations.

I'm sure you're very excited

about the upcoming nuptials.

My father and my sister.

My sister and my father?

Your father and your sister

are getting married?

Yeah.

No, not to each other.

I...

I have to check something

before I fill this out.

Sit down, Forrester.

Let's see if we can

sort out your usual chaos.

Maybe you'll even do us

the honor of attending this year.

Okay, later, M. T.

I gotta rethink that shop class.

I'm pretty scary with tools.

My.

You didn't know

about your dad getting married?

Yes, I did.

The bastard tells

the whole world before he tells you.

He's not...

Whatever.

At least if they're eloping,

you won't have to go the wedding.

Weddings are the worst.

Me? I've had to go to,

like, five between my parents.
