The Perfect Score Page #2

You hear that?

I'm worried about you, Kyle.

One day, you're gonna try to regain

this lost youth of yours,

you're gonna go into a sh*t pit.

Is that what you're doing, living

at home, jamming with the dryer?

I don't live at home.

I live above the garage.

It's a whole separate dwelling!

I've got my own phone line.

Hey, honey.

You wanna help grade assignments?

We're teaching kids to bubble in.

First-graders?

Mom, most of these kids

can't even read yet.

Well, I hate to say it,

but there's more money for the school

in bubbling in than reading these days.

Now he gets it.

Just follow the money.

Standardized testing is taking over.

And it starts long before high school.

Test scores go up,

the schools get more cash.

In some cases,

even teachers get paid.

It's enough to piss you off.

I mean, when you get the feeling

that everything's slipping away,

that you're gonna be left behind,

desperate times call for

desperate measures.

Hey, Matty, if you wanted

to borrow the answers...

... how would you do it?

The girl at ETS.

The one the guard let pass.

You recognize her?

Francesca Curtis.

The web-page girl?

Francesca Curtis.

Talk about your forbidden fruit.

Do you guys know the name of that

kid with the Percocet addiction?

No? No? No?

- I don't know.

- OK.

If you have something for my page,

you have to write it down

and slip it in my locker.

I'll get back to you.

No, we're not...

If you don't know where my locker is,

you're in over your heads.

Actually...

... we had something else in mind.

So you guys are gonna

steal the SAT answers?

You should. You should.

I mean, it's anti-girl, it's anti...a lot of

sh*t, but it definitely has girl issues.

It under-scores us

on the math and verbal.

On top of that, the College Board

settled a complaint

that the PSAT had a testicle bias

for National Merit Scholarships.

So you'll help us, then?

- No.

- Why not?

Pacey, I don't think you

and Dawson can pull it off.

- Do you have a plan?

- We're working on it.

Oh, OK.

- You're wasting my time.

- Wait.

Don't you find it ridiculous that

from day one, they tell us to be unique,

to be individuals, then they

give us a standardized test

that makes us all one faceless herd?

Desmond Rhodes, superstar!

Wait, wait, wait. Hold on.

A hundred million dollars a year,

To pick up a few stones to throw

at a bully that doesn't fight fair?

Look around this place.

How many of these girls

are gonna get screwed by this test?

What's that gonna do

to their self-esteem?

On top of everything else

they deal with.

You're preaching to the converted.

I know I am.

That's why we approached you.

We need your help.
