I'm sorry. My hand slipped.

- Would you cut it out.|- Mind your own business.

-You like looking at my girlfriend, huh?|-Shut up, Hardy.

What?|He likes looking at you.

Sorry.

I'd recommend you keep your eyes|and your mind off my property.

Here's ten for gas|and ten for the look.

Oh, Amanda Jones.|Right this way, please.

I'd say excusing yourself|from class...

and leaving the school grounds|with the boy with the hot car...

buys you...

two weeks of morning detention.

Well, we were just talking.

If all you wanted was talk, you could've|gotten that without leaving school.

What are you saying,|Mrs. Albright?

Nothing that hasn't been said before.|Now get inside.

- Get inside. Read my lips. Go.|- It's not fair.

Welcome.

Is this detention?

Actually,|it's your mother's house...

and we're all having a party.

You really shouldn't cut classes,|even if it's just gym class.

It's incredibly nice of you not to|make me sit down there with those guys.

I felt kind of weird|being the only girl.

I suppose it wouldn't matter if you|served out your detention in my office.

Oh, well, I had a better idea.

I was kind of wondering if I wouldn't|have to serve detention at all...

if I promised|I'd never ever do it again.

We'll keep this|just between you and me.

Oh, you're incredibly sweet,|Mr. Sauner.

And I love the way|you wear your hair.

- Really?|- Yeah, it's great.

- All the girls say it.|- No.

Yeah. It's true.

You're the best|driver's ed teacher there is.

Thank you.

Thanks very much.

Sure. Bye-bye, Amanda.

Bye.

Amanda Jones doesn't know you...

doesn't care about you.

You're trying to|jerk off the impossible.

How many times do I have to tell you|this? I don't know. How many times?

Do you know|what kind of a guy Hardy is?

Handsome, rich...

muscular, popular,|hot, happening...

and capable of reducing your head|to a crimson stain on the wall.

Hardy's a jerk.

He screws around on her, he treats her|like dirt, he has no respect for her.

And obviously she gets off on it.

You're losing it.

And when it's lost,|all you are is a loser.

You obviously don't know how I feel,|so why don't you just butt out of this.

I know how you feel.

Oh, you do? Really?

You've been in love before?

There's a lot of things|you don't know about me.

Really?

Who have you|ever been in love with?

Huh?

You want to abuse yourself,|be my guest.

Hey, Watts, nothing ventured,|nothing gained, right?

Keith, once a fool,|always a fool.

Right?

Are those boys' underpants?

Yeah. So?

So, I've just never seen a girl|wearing boys' underpants before.

You ever seen a girl|with a drumstick shoved up her nose?

- Oh, is that some kind of a threat?|- It's some kind of a warning.
