Dr. Mandrakis?

Hello.

-Hello.

-Hey.

-Who is this?

-What are you wearing?

Combat boots and a parka,

you jerk. Who is this?

Bobby, is this you?

Whoever this is, this isn't funny.

Yeah, it is.

A**holes.

Hello.

Hello.

-My God, the look on your face.

-What the hell are you doing here?

Oh, my God. Could this house

be more awesome?

Tiffany, you don't just do this

to people. Why didn't you call?

I just did.

-How did you get in?

-The garage door is open.

What?

What's the big deal?

I've been getting really weird

prank phone calls all night.

So then don't answer the phone.

I'm sure they have voice mail.

-Well, maybe I'm expecting a call.

-From Bobby?

-What's it to you?

-Oh, I don't know.

Maybe because I'm your best friend.

It's a little hard to remember

after what you did.

How many times do I have to say

that I'm sorry? It was one kiss.

And besides,

you know what tequila does to me.

Then don't drink.

-Fine, I'll try.

-Face it, Tiffany...

...you've been crushing

on Bobby ever since ninth grade.

Yeah, I have.

It's because he asked me out first.

I was with him for one day...

...when he spotted you.

I never got my kiss, so I figured

I had it coming to me.

Now we're even.

You know what? That's the lamest

excuse I've ever heard.

Jill, I'm a b*tch.

I know that, you know that,

everybody knows that.

Let's go do a truce shot.

-I bet they have a killer bar.

-You're quitting, remember?

Sherry, port. So, what about

something real, people?

Voila. Tequila.

Didn't we just talk about

you not drinking, Tiffany?

-You were serious?

-Okay. You gotta go...

...because I'm babysitting.

Okay, fine.

But at least come with me to

the bonfire, just for a couple of hours.

I mean, the kids are asleep, right?

So you could just set the alarm

and no one would ever know.

Kidding.

-Bye.

-Bye.

Call me.

Sh*t. Oh, sh*t.

Oh, God.

Oh, no. Come on.

Tiffany. Tiffany, come on.

This isn't funny.

Tiffany?

Hello.

Mandrakis residence.

-Jill, is that you?

-Bobby. Bobby, are you there?

Wait, move around.

We've got a bad connection.

-Jill.

-Yeah, it's me.

Listen, have you been calling me?

Hold on.

-Can you hear me? Is that better?

-Yeah, it's better. Listen--

-No one can get a signal up here.

-Bobby, listen.

-Have you been calling me here?

-What?

I won't get mad. I just need to know

if you've been calling.

Well, Cody pranked you,

but I made him stop.

-Just once?

-Yeah, I think so.

Bobby, listen, this is very important.

I won't get mad.

Has he called me more than once?

I don't know.

Hold on, let me check.

Hey, Cody.

Bobby?

Are you still there?

The person you are trying

to reach is out of range.
