BRENT:

Had either of them broken

up with someone recently?

Hurt someone?

JODY:

No. Those two were together

before Kenny and I started

hanging out and that's over,

what, God a year now.

BRENT:

I want you to head right home

after school.

JODY:

I will. Is that all?

TOM:

Could you tell Mr. Marliston

we'd like to see him.

JODY:

SURE.

She leaves.

BRENT:

Why'd you send for Lenny Marliston?

TOM:

The kids adore him. They confide

in him. His patchouli reeking rear

might know if Stacy and Rod were

really virgins. Why didn't you

ask Jody that?

BRENT:

She's my daughter, Tom.

TOM:

So?

BRENT:

So you just don't point

blank ask your teenage daughter

about sex.

TOM:

Why not? You worried you might

find out how much she actually

knows?

Brent gives Tom a 'keep your cynical sh*t off my daughter' look.

LEONARD:

You rang?

TOM:

Come in Leonard. Have you

met Brent Marken?

LEONARD:

No but I've always wanted to.

He shakes his hand firmly.

BRENT:

Nice to meet you too. My

daughter speaks highly of you.

Leonard examines Brent's face carefully. Brent is a little taken aback by

his intensity.

LEONARD:

We have the same color eyes.

BRENT:

I guess we do.

CUT TO:

INT. CAFTERIA

MARK SHALE, a seventeen year old, rail thin pothead is sitting at a table

in the crowded cafeteria eating lunch. The place is a zoo. CINDY, a cute,

mini-skirted brunette, and BEN, a frizzy-haired, tattooed, pierced, punk-

rocker, are sitting with him.

Jody is standing at the door with her best friend SANDY, looking for a

place to sit. Sandy is thin and a little underdeveloped for her age. She

is wearing very little make-up, a baggy shirt and baggy jeans. Although

she looks much more tomboyish than Jody and a year or two younger, she is

still quite cute and curvy, just lacking a bit in self-confidence when it

comes to boys. Sandy is staring at Mark.

JODY:

Go sit next to him.

SANDY:

Who?

JODY:

Mark Shale.

SANDY:

Why?

JODY:

Don't you want to talk to him?

You watch him eat everyday.
