Drive Me Crazy Page #6

Synopsis: Nicole Maris is a popular high school preppy senior in Utah who gets her life turned upside down when her perfect date, Brad, falls for a cute cheerleader from another school a month before the school's centennial senior prom. After recovering from the shock, Nicole comes up with a solution to save her reputation: find a guy to appear like they're going steady and to take her to the dance hoping to make Brad jealous. Nicole then hooks up with her next door neighbor, prankster and trouble maker Chase Hammond, and tries to model him in her own image while he's looking to make his long-term girlfriend Dulcie jealous too. However, both Nicole and Chase don't expect their charade to lead it where they never expected it to.

Nice hat.

- (elevator bell dings)

- # Here we go #

# Something tells me

that I've been here before... #

Come on!

# Even though

I might be dreaming #

# I don't care, I want more... #

Hi, welcome to the Gap.

# But I don't know #

# What's happening, please #

# Is this really happening

to me? #

# Is this really happening to me? #

# Is this really happening

to me? #

# Is this really happening to me? #

- Nicole?

- Oh, hey, Ray.

Hey. Look, I just want you to know

that I know you're screwed.

About the dance, I mean.

And, um, well, I guess

what I'm trying to say is that

if it comes down to panic time

and you still don't have a date,

and you're, like, really desperate,

well, I'd take you.

I'd be honored.

Oh, that's sweet, Ray,

but, well, when Chase and I got out

of the car the other night,

we kind of decided

we'd go together.

Chase? My Chase?

(laughs)

I got it.

Hey, this is funnier

than you dressing up

for last year's

Junior Miss Pageant, man.

Ray. Hey, Nicole.

So I'm glad to see you're out

of your doldrums.

That hair, guy, is just...

Hey, so, Nicole,

remember what I said.

I'm serious.

If you want.

Well, this is real convincing.

I'm a walking punch line.

But who gets the last laugh?

See you after school, hon.

(bell rings)

Sh*t. Hurry, Dave.

I promised Ray we'd take him to work.

Are you going to explain this to me?

- Explain what?

- This. What are you trying to pull?

Nothing.

It's a big-ass mistake.

I thought it would make

Dulcie come back.

Seriously? How?

Can you think of anything

that would make Dulcie freak out more

than me with

"Miss School Spirit" Nicole Maris?

- He still thinks I'm joking.

- So what are you doing?

you know, to make an impact,

you have to go to extremes.

Did I just hear something

about extremes?

It's real extreme, all right.

Why'd you do it?

Time for a change.

It's not you.

Who knows who I am?

I do.

Don't let Nicole Maris change you.

I'll be all right.

yeah.

Dave, do you mind

stopping off at the mall?

I wanna pick up a Swatch.

Nicole, can you come

in here, honey?

So, what are we burning today?

Fields of Jasmine

for improved circulation?

Strawberry Explosion

for brain power?

- your dad called.

- Why?

He said that he'll meet you

at 12:
00 noon on Sunday

at Jefferson Park.

He promised he'd show up

this time.

(crowd cheering)

So get out there

and support the Tigers

on their march

to a state championship.

- Look, we're going to that.

- A basketball game?

(Nicole and Chase whispering)

That wasn't part

of the arrangement.

A necessary evil, Chase.

We have to look chummy,

remember?

And the benefit of that?

We're in this together.

From my point of view,
