Loser Page #3

Synopsis: Is there room in Manhattan for a decent kid? Can a young woman see past a cad to true love? Paul, from rural upstate, comes to New York City for college. To keep his scholarship, he must study hard and do well. That makes him a loser to his partying roommates who connive to kick him out of their suite. He's assigned a room in an animal hospital. In class he meets Dora, a pretty coed who needs a job to pay for school, and who's the very young lover of their sarcastic and selfish lit professor. When Dora is slipped some drugs at a party, Paul nurses her back to health, and a friendship follows. For Paul, though, it's more than friendly feelings. Can they work things out for them to become a truly lucky couple?

- It's "Truth or Dare"! That's how you play.

What's wrong with you,

are you're unstable?

You think it makes me want you?

Must you rub my nose in it?

Are you out of your goddamn mind,

you raving lunatic?

Look at her, man, she's a psychopath!

Here.

- Sal, it's 11:
30.

- I'm talking here.

If I miss the 11:50, then I can't get home.

Give me the money.

If people would show

a little appreciation...

Nobody appreciates anything

you do for them anymore.

You're $40 short.

What? That's impossible.

Want to take it up with Victor?

I don't think that's something

you want to do.

There must be some mistake.

All right, he should be here soon.

- Here.

- Thank you.

The 11:
50 for Westchester,

Bronx and Yonkers...

... now leaving on Track 17.

11:
50 now leaving Track 17.

Wait, wait! No!

Stop!

Ma, listen.

I got totally screwed at study group.

My topic was last, and I had to stay.

I rushed to the station,

but I missed the last train.

Where are you, Grand Central?

No, I went with my friend Linda

to the girls' dorm.

Can you stay there?

- Yeah, it's cool. I'll sleep on her couch.

- Okay.

- All right, I'll call you tomorrow. Bye.

- Bye.

She's going to "star 69."

Lt'll only be a second.

Rubin Hall, ladies' residence.

- Is this a dorm for girls?

- Yes, this is a dormitory for women.

Can anybody just get in there?

No, there are security doors

and a night watchman.

- Okay. Thank you.

- You're welcome.

That was great. Thank you.

Bless you, honey.

I got this girl's phone number last night.

Guess what she's got.

Herpes?

No, genius, she's got a pierced tongue.

It means she's gay, you know.

- What are you talking about?

- It adds to their sensual pleasure.

- No, it's for my sensual pleasure.

- It is not.

Let's ask Dr. Drew.

We got Chris on the phone from Seattle.

He wants to know which sex prefers

a pierced tongue more.

I don't get it.

Come on, guys.

I just washed all these towels.

Speaking of which, Paul,

next time don't use so much starch.

Has anybody seen my toothbrush?

You can't find it? Sh*t.

You better find that thing.

Those things can cost up to $2.50.

Yeah, and yours has such a nice handle.

You still don't qualify for financial aid.

Why don't you try student placement?

Those jobs only pay $5 or $6 an hour.

I make three times as much at the bar.

I can't pay tuition unless I work more...

...and I can't do that

because I have to travel home.

Not everybody who's accepted

can actually attend this school.

Why don't you try

to get yourself emancipated?

Okay. Thank you.

Where are your parents' tax returns?

I don't have them.

How can you prove they're not

claiming you as an exemption?

They kind of are, but if I get emancipated...
