When the pain...
Put me down, you idiots!
(EXCLAIMS)
ALL:
(CHANTING) Go, Tomanski!
I'm almost there...
Hey! Hey, Tomanski!
You don't take no crap
from no rich kids, huh!
(EXCLAIMING)
Monica, bring home a diploma,
or bring home a husband.
The richer the better.
But don't get pregnant.
Have a little more
faith in me than that,
Aunt Lorraine.
I'm not you.
ALL:
(CHANTING) Go, Tomanski!
I'll miss you, Monica.
Oh, I love you, sweetheart.
-You be careful, okay?
-Okay.
-Who's your buddy?
-You.
Yeah. Who's your buddy?
Knowing love is all
I am in you
And you are in me
Through each other's eyes
We see
Listen to me
(DOG BARKING)
Hold me
I will hold you
Listen to me
while I speak my heart
You can talk to me
We're all looking
for a place to start
Where we tell
the truth again
Tell the truth again
Love me
Listen to me,
life is not that long
And we don't have time
to get it wrong
Let's believe
and let's begin
Let's begin
Won't you listen to me
For we know how we fall
MAN:
Come on, Tucker.
I got to get these
chickens to the market.
Hey, Pop, (CLEARS THROAT)
I got something for you.
You shouldn't spend
your money on me.
Hey, come on. Open it up.
It's no big deal.
And you are in me
Through each other's eyes
We see
Just how good our lives
Could be
Through each other's eyes
We see
Listen to me
Listen to me
Listen to me
Excuse me, can you tell me
where the administration...
Thanks a lot, buddy.
Excuse me, can you tell me
where the administration
building...
Yeah, it's over by the
ice hockey rink over there.
-Ice... Thanks!
-Yeah, no problem.
(BAND PLAYING MUSIC)
TUCKER:
Excuse me, uh...
Pardon me.
Could you tell me
where the ice hockey rink is?
MAN:
Yeah, it's over
by the pool hall.
TUCKER:
Hey, thanks.
(CHEERLEADERS CHEERING)
TUCKER:
Excuse me,
could you tell me where
the pool hall is?
No, but maybe I can recommend
a nice clothing store?
-Nathan, you're mean.
-Look at his hat!
It's not that bad.
He's probably from the south.
Well, I don't know.
Look at his haircut.
(ENGINE REVS)
(HORN HONKS)
Hey, surfer man!
I'll see you in the dorm.
-Gar!
-Hi, Gar!
How you doin'?
Hey, hey Christine.
I don't suppose
any of you would tell me
where the administration
building is.
-GARSON:
Yo! Master debaters.
-That's what I thought.
-Number one.
-GARSON:
The
inscrutable Mr. Chin.
How was your summer?
GARSON:
It was all right.
How was yours?
Great. Just great.
Come on, guys.
Help him with his things.
-Hey, girls.
-GIRLS:
Hi!
How was your summer?
We have to talk
about our summers.
How about some extra gravy
with those mashed potatoes?
Can I have some carrots, too?
I'm starving.
Anything your heart desires,
just ask.
-I'm the man.
-I'll remember that.
There you go.
Well, boy,
looks like you could use
all the fuel you can get.
Hey, man. Thanks.
Better stop giving away
the extra helpings.
-The cook's
got his eye on you.
-TUCKER:
Oh, thanks.
-Here, help me with this.
-Right.
Okay.
-Oh.
-There we go.
Tucker Muldowney,
Watonga, Oklahoma.
-Monica, Chicago.
-Hi.
Watonga?
Yeah, well, the reason
you haven't heard of it is
'cause I haven't made it
famous yet.
-I think you're serious.
-I am.
See, I'm here
on a debate scholarship,
and they only give out
two a year, you know?
-Really?
-No talking in the ranks.
Dishwasher duty. Move it.
