Charlie? Come on.

This chicken paprikash is delicious.

Thank you, Derek. It's Charlie's favorite.

He was a little nervous about starting high

school today, so I made it for him.

Feel a little silly

about being nervous now, Champ?

Yes, sir. I sure do.

I told you, just give 'em a smile...

and be yourself.

- That's how you...

- Make friends in the real world.

You're cruisin' for a bruisin'.

Freshman year is tough, but...

you really find yourself.

Thanks, Derek.

You could have been a

little nicer to Derek.

I'm sorry, the kid's a p*ssy.

I can't stand him.

- I really hope you love the mix tape I made.

- I do.

- The cover is hand-painted.

- Oh, wow.

Hey, Charlie, you want this?

Are you sure?

He gives me one every week.

Hey, babe.

This next one might be a little sad,

but it reminded me of your eyes.

Sing me to sleep

I'm tired and I

I want to go to bed

Sing me to sleep

Did you already do the term paper on

To Kill a Mockingbird?

No.

Get him.

Don't try to wake me

in the morning

'Cause I will be gone

Don't feel bad for me

I want you to know

Deep in the cell of my heart

I will feel so glad to go

Let's go, Devils!

Right. Come on, offense!

- Hey, Nothing.

- Hey, Nothing.

Oh, suck it, virginity pledges.

Suck it.

Oh, you're in trouble now, Jaguars!

Hey, Patrick.

Hey. You're in my shop class, right?

How's your clock coming?

My dad's building it for me.

Yeah. Mine looks like a boat.

You wanna sit over here

or are you waiting for your friends?

No, no, no, I'll sit.

Thanks for not calling

me Nothing by the way.

It's an endless nightmare.

And these a**holes,

they actually think they're being original.

So do you like football?

Love it. Love football.

Maybe you know my brother then.

Hey, Sam.

Question. Could the bathrooms

here be more disgusting?

Yes. They call it the men's room.

Oh. So I finally got hold of Bob.

Party tonight?

He's still trying to shag

that waitress from the Olive Garden.

He's never tossing that salad.

Come on!

Patrick.

Yeah?

Who's this?

This is-

Charlie Kelmeckis.

Kelmeckis?

No sh*t? Your sister's dating

Ponytail Derek, isn't she?

- God.

- Is that what they call him?

Would you leave Ponytail Derek alone?

You put the "ass" in "class," Patrick.

I try. Sam, I try.

It's nice to meet you, Charlie.

I'm Sam.

- What's the plan? Are we going to Mary Elizabeth's tonight?

- Nope.

She got caught watering down her parents'

brandy with iced tea.

Let's just go to Kings.

All right. We're goin' to Kings

after the game if you wanna come.

Do you have a favorite band?

Well, I think The Smiths are my favorite.

Are you kidding?

I love The Smiths. Best breakup band ever.

What's your favorite song?
