Beware the Gonzo
In the past week
I ruined my chance to go to college
I lost all my friends
I almost ruined my parents' marriage
The one girl l ever cared about will
probably never talk to me again
I also got my face kicked in
But...
after everything I've done
I probably got off easy
You believed in me
and I betrayed you all
Amy
I want you on band try-outs and theater auditions
It's Pippin this year, right?
Great show... Jules
I need you on the student parking permits
Please, they confuse the hell out of everybody
Can you do that for me?
There's a new cafeteria policy.
Due to last year's brawl at McDonald's
Nobody's allowed off school grounds for lunch
Not even the seniors.
That sucks
It's okay. I'm gonna do an op ed on that
Gonna interview the principal
it's obviously a hot-button issue
Kev, what do you got, bud?
Football and wrestling previews, Gav. And
I'd love to do a feature on the state wrestling champ
at a hundred sixty eight pounds
who happens to be you
Alright. Well you'll probably
gonna want photos with that
so meet me in the gym after school
I'll let you shoot me in my tux
I got a sports story
but it ain't no goddamn puff piece
It's gonna be in 2-inch type
right underneath the masthead
steroids
good to see you, Gilman
Steroids, huh?
I'm gonna go undercover on the
football team as assistant equipment manager
blow the lid right off this b*tch
I'm gonna find out who's juicing,
where they got the stuff
What evidence do you have that anyone's using steroids?
Statistics
It's an epidemic now on the high school level
the high school football team went 2 and 12 last year
maybe they don't wanna go 2 and 12 this year
It's a ridiculous reach. Forget it.
At least read the data
I don't need to read the data. Thanks.
Who are you trying to protect?
Cough if up, Riley.
How far up does this thing go?
Take it easy, Oliver Stone. I just don't want you
bugging my friends with your bullshit
Okay, guys. These stories are due Friday.
You can just e-mail them to me, alright?
Okay, we table the steroids thing.
What am I gonna do?
You beat me out for editor, Riley,
but I still need to make my mark this year
First of all, Gilman, take a giant step back
You're in my area. We discussed this
Okay
Why don't you just do a
simple 'back to school' piece?
'Another year dawns on Parker Prep'
whatever just
make sure you include the
changes on the academic calendar
Back to school piece
it's simple, it's elegant
I'll really to put my finger on
Yes. Fine. Look, if it's good enough,
I'll even put it on the cover
Just don't get carried away
Gonzo Gilman with the Courier.
Another year dawns, let's talk about it
Gonzo Gilman with the Courier.
Do you have one minute?
Gonzo Gilman with the Courier.
What are your hopes and fears...
Gonzo Gilman with the Courier.
What are your hopes and fears for the new year?
I hope that you get out of my face
and I fear that you will not.
- Gonzo Gilman with the Courier. I was hoping
- No
- Can I quote you on that?
-No
Got her digits, man. Damn, she's hot.
My friend, Rob. You will have to
undress that girl with a small crane
You've no vision, Gonzo. Okay that girl loses
this much baby fat, she'll have the sweetest ass in the entire school
- And I will be leading the ground floor
- Hmm..interesting.
- You working on a story?
- Undercover. I told you.
- 2-inch type
- right underneath the mast head.
- Hi, Rob.
- Hey, gorgeous. Welcome back.
