The Earth circles

around the sun.

Mary, welcome to special ed.

Is that all you got ?

She was a lean,

mean fighting machine.

Do you have a best friend ?

You wanna be my best friend ?

Maybe. I have to be

really honest with you.

Your intense energy is making me

feel a little bit bombarded.

Sorry. Totally.

When I call your name,

But I don't know where here is, man,

'cause I'm so wasted, man.

Thomas, stop pretending

that you're high on drugs.

It is a sin to even pretend

that you're-- you're-- you're baked.

He's too scared

to actually take drugs.
