17 Again Page #4

Synopsis: At 17 Mike O'Donnell is on top of the world: he's the star of his high school basketball team, is a shoo-in for a college scholarship, and is dating his soul-mate, Scarlet. But at what's supposed to be his big game where a college scout is checking him out, Scarlet reveals that she's pregnant. Mike decides to leave the game and asks Scarlet to marry him, which she does. During their marriage, Mike can only whine about the life he lost because he married her, so she throws him out. When he also loses his job, he returns to the only place he's happy at, his old high school. While looking at his high school photo, a janitor asks him if he wishes he could be 17 again and he says yes. One night while driving he sees the janitor on a bridge ready to jump, and goes after him. When he returns to his friend Ned's house, where he has been staying, he sees that he is 17 again. He decides to take this opportunity to get the life he lost.

think about sucking me into this with you.

Hayden was the low point

of my existence...

...and I vowed I would never go back

to that godforsaken place!

Never, ever, ever!

Never! Never, ever, ever!

I hate you.

Hello.

I'm here to enroll my son...

...in school.

Mark.

What's up?

So...

So we'll just have a seat

till you're ready for us.

We'll be right, uh... Okay.

What's this you're wearing?

This is cool. This is hip. I have a picture

of Kevin Federline wearing the same thing.

- I don't know who that is.

- What are you wearing?

- I told you, like a dad.

- I am.

- You look like Clay Aiken.

- Leave him out of this.

Are you sure these look legit?

- Oh, yeah. Look who you're talking to.

I'm the guy who invented the software

that prevents people from stealing music.

I also invented the software

that helps people steal music...

...but that's a happy coincidence.

What is that?

Oh, my G...

- Wrong. These are for me.

- You kidding?

- What's-her-name and Chewie's for me.

- Miss Masterson will see you now.

Let's go.

Just don't try to be funny, all right?

Say as little as possible.

Hey, watch where you're going, toolbag.

- So sorry, sir. Our fault.

- Stan.

Hello. I'm Jane Masterson,

principal here at Hayden High.

Hi.

Hello.

Hi.

- Hi.

Uh, okay.

Yeah, I think we're good here.

Sorry.

I think our hands just made a baby.

Excuse my dad. He's not used to

talking to attractive women.

Oh, thank you...

- Mark.

Mark...

...for that flattering

yet totally inappropriate comment.

Please sit.

Before we get started, I think you should

know that, uh, Mark's a bastard.

Excuse me?

I had him out of wedlock, so...

...I'm single.

And I'm very rich.

Okay.

- Did you bring your transcripts?

- Oh, yeah.

Transcripts.

Last school you went to was

Cutler High in Connecticut.

Straight-A student. Very impressive.

Math club...

...National Merit finalist...

...Coney Island

Hot Dog Eating Champion.

Well, I think Hayden

would be lucky to have you.

- Welcome.

- Thank you.

Uh, yes, Mr. Gold.

Do you have a question?

Your hair is pretty.

Ah. Not a question, but thank you.

Would the lady mind if I smelled it?

Now is probably a good time to tell you

that I don't date students' parents.

Well, maybe I should tell you that I never

don't not date the principal of my child.

Okay, come on, Dad. Come on, Dad.

Let's go.

I was about to close!

You have to do it right now?

Just calm down. You're a dad.

- Hi. Oh, my gosh. We're in.

- You see her undress me with her eyes?

I don't think that's what that was.

Hey. Wow. I don't know how we did it.

It's Maggie's friends. Watch this.

- Hey, girls, how's it going?

Do I know you?
