Private School Page #2

Synopsis: Christine (Phoebe Cates), a student at an exclusive all-girls private school, is in love with Jim, who attends an academy for boys nearby. Christine's arch rival Jordan also has her eye on Jim, and she is willing to do whatever she can to steal him away. Jim's uber-slob buddy Bubba is going with Betsy, Christine's cynical friend, though he would probably be unfaithful if any other woman were willing to get near him. Bubba and his pals sneak into the girls' school dressed in drag in hopes of reaching the Promised Land (better known as the women's shower room), while Christine and Jim run away together for the weekend, though their escapade isn't as romantic as they had hoped.

Well, I don't think that we have

the time to get into that today.

What, is she kidding?

I mean, we don't have the

time today to talk about that.

Now, we are going to see a short film

called The Tadpole and His Community.

Rita, take care of the blinds, please.

Hello, Hotel D'Amour? I'd

like to make a weekend, please.

I mean, I'd like to reserve a

reservation for a weekend in your hotel.

A week from Friday.

It's Mrs. Christine Rams... Jones.

No, not Rams-Jones, just Jones.

What if they wanna see your

driver's license or something?

Listen, it seems that I was wrong

about the name. It's not Jones, it's ...

Should I use my name or his? Yours.

Ramsay. Mrs. Christine... His. Use his!

Green!

Ramsay is my married name and

Green is my professional name.

Jones was my mother's maiden name.

But, I'm a graphic designer

and I really am married,

so that's pretty much my story. Goodbye.

How was I?

Terrific.

I made the reservation at the Hotel

D'Amour. The weekend after next.

That's where my parents

stayed on their honeymoon.

God, this is gonna be

wonderful. So perfect.

Don't you think?

Don't you?

Of course I do. Why do you say that?

It just seemed like you were

beginning to have some doubts.

Me? Doubts? What, are you kidding me?

Well, that's good, at least

one of us won't be nervous.

Nervous? What's there

to be nervous about?

Oh, oh, no! Oh! Do you see what I see?

Jordan, dear.

Surprise!

Go get her, Bubba!

That is the finest example of

bareback riding I've ever seen.

I'll get them. I'll get them.

No, really, I'll go in and buy them.

But up till now you've done

everything. Now it's my turn, all right?

Okay.

I suppose I'd say, "I'd just

like to buy some condoms"?

Well, be a little bit

more sophisticated.

Sophisticated?

Sophisticated?

Yep, it is fabulous.

It's called Fountain of Truth,

and you know what I'm gonna do?

I'm just gonna do one half of your face

so you can see the incredible difference.

It just relaxes those

years right off your face.

Now let that dry for a few minutes

and I'll be right with you. Okay?

Hello there, young fella! Hi.

What can I do you for today?

I'd like to buy some

prophylactic devices.

Now that is what I like to hear.

You know what they say,

"An ounce of prevention..."

You know, most young people today

are too careless about their bodies.

Well, what type of prophylaxis

did you have in mind?

What... What, what type?

Well, yeah, we have the ones

with the little rubber tip

for getting in the hard-to-reach

areas, and we have the stimulators,

and we have my personal favorite

which possesses marvelous

prophylactic qualities.

All you do is insert the tip
