- Sign here.

Man on P.A.:

Attention, students.

There will be a mandatory fire safety

meeting this afternoon in the auditorium.

Armstrong:
So soccer.

Soccer's going well?

Yeah. We're doing better.

We have a big game on Tuesday.

I'm sure you guys

are gonna be fine.

- Girl:
Hope so. Plan on it.

- That's good.

Any thoughts about school yet?

I'm thinking about Columbia.

I really want to be in a big city.

Columbia's great,

- but it's also ivy league.

- I know.

Why? You think

I can't get in?

No. No.

I just, uh-- I want you

to pick a few safety schools,

you know, as insurance.

It's just not an easy one

to get into.

So we'll just keep

thinking about that.

- We still have some time.

- Okay.

- All right.

- Thank you, Mr. Armstrong.

No problem, Christy.

Make it a great day.

- I always do.

- Good.

- Hi.

- Hello.

Mr. Lucas, you can come in now.

So how are you?

Pretty good.

I was talking to your mother today.

She said she's still worried

about your transition.

- I'm fine.

- You sure?

I heard the crew team

didn't go very well.

According to Coach Klein,

you told him that crew

was "stupid, boring

and meant for kids

that suck at any other sport."

Does that sound about right?

Yeah, that actually

sounds about right.

Well, you're entitled

to your own opinion,

but quitters are usually frowned

upon by colleges, Derek.

Even Columbia?

Even Columbia.

(school bell rings)

I had the sickest

triple-kill last night--

took out 3 noobs

with a Spartan Laser.

Man, I'm so bored of Halo.

I like the new Metal Gear Solid.

The graphics look so real.

Hey, Tobey,

do you have a 360?

Yeah, but I can't play it.

Grounded.

- That sucks.

- Hey, are you guys in Scouts?

- You signed up for that?

- So lame.

Shut up.

My mom's making me.
