has her.

So.

But...

I hope her parents don't see that.

That would just be...

That'd be so sad.

Oh, my gosh. By the way,

I totally forgot.

I meant to

ask you sooner.

Is there any way you can help me

chaperone the Sadie Hawkins Day dance?

Please?

I need, like,

three more people.

Oh.

Really.

It could be fun.

I've managed to get out of doing that

the whole time I've been here.

Please, come on.

Oh.

Um... Who else

is chaperoning?

Um, Tony...

and, uh...

now, Irene...

She never got back

to me on it.

Oh, gosh.

I really need your help.

I need to get, like,

three more people.

Yeah, I'll do it. Yeah, it's fine.

I'll do it. You owe me, but...

I'm there. Okay. Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Mm-hmm. That'll be great.

It'll be fun.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah. It will.

Mm-hmm.

Hey.

I need you to delete

that photo from your phone.

Okay.

No, I need you to do it now.

Done.

Thanks.

Is it about that girl?

Yeah. It just made me

really nervous.

You have a good

Thanksgiving?

Yeah. It was good.

You?

It was all right.

Can I, uh...

Can I come see you tonight?

Yeah.

My roommate's out of town still,

so just come on over.

All right.

What's up, man?

Yo, what's up, bro?

How you doin'?

Good. What about you?

Good, man.

You boys stay out of trouble, all right?

You hungry?

Yeah, dude.

Let's grill.

Let's roll.

...the police department

now wants the city...

So, I got pulled in to chaperoning

the Sadie Hawkins dance.

Oh, yeah?

This girl actually asked

me to the dance today.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah?

Yeah?

Figured, uh,

I should go, you know, just so people

don't get suspicious or anything.

Yes?

So, I have to watch you dance

with some girl?

Mmm. Are you jealous?

I kind of like it.

Does that mean

that you're going with her?

Yeah.

Really?

Yeah. Don't worry.

It doesn't mean anything.

Just goin' with her.

The regular deadline for U.T.

applications are coming up.

Has everyone gotten their waivers

who is planning on getting a waiver?

Does anyone need

any help with that?

Good? We all good?

Good to go.

There's also A.P.'s.

You want to start thinking about which

A.P.'s you're gonna wanna take, which exams.

You're gonna wanna sign up for that.

How long is the exam?

How long is each exam?

The exam.

Um...

I think it's three hours.

Okay.

Just don't take it.

My sister said it was like two...

All right. What else?

Um, do we have any announcements?

Student relations?

Um, if anybody wants to

help clean up after the dance...

Forget it, Lanie.

Lanie, no one's gonna

clean up after the dance.

We love you, Lanie.

Is everyone going to the dance?

- No.

- Oh, yeah.

Are you chaperoning?

Um, I do not know.
