there was an oil spill last week | off the coast of Redondo.

Todays paper just says hundreds | of seagulls have been affected.

I propose a school-sponsored | fund-raiser...

with all the proceeds going to | the seagull rehabilitation fund.

As the community-service leader, | we would be morally remiss...

if we did nothing | for these seagulls.

Fine.

One more. Last one.

After this, well let all sick and | endangered animals die horrible deaths.

Agreed?

Now, people, | June is just around the corner.

Lets talk graduation speakers. | Ideas?

Toni Morrison.

Shes in town that same weekend | for a book signing.

Shes won the Nobel Prize.

Interesting.

Dana, didnt you say you have a cousin | whos friends with Britney Spears?

Yeah. Best friends.

Now when I say Romeo and Juliet, | who comes to mind?

- Dana? | - Claire Danes.

Thats right. Claire Danes. | Who else?

- Leonardo DiCaprio. | - Right. Who else?

You know, someone else | was involved in that movie...

who, in some ways, is as famous | as Leonardo DiCaprio.

And his names William Shakespeare...

and some great movies | are based on his plays.

Hamlet, West Side Story...

Talented Mr. Ripley, | Waterworld...

Gladiator, Chocolat.

Mr. Burke, as you know, my boyfriend | drowned in a surfing accident.

I dont think I can handle | Romeo and Juliet right now...

emotionally.

Tanya, Lonny died a year ago.

Sometimes it takes decades to recover | from a tragedy like this.

You only went out with him | for two weeks.

Your moms outside. | She says you got into Stanford!

Hello.

- Can you do me a favor? | - Who you lookin for?

Its Shaun.

Shaun, pick up the phone!

Hes not here.

What?

Will you please just go to the door | and tell me if the mails there?

Im begging you.

Fine, fine.

Do I have to turn on | your computer?

Just go to the front door.

The mail would be in the mailbox.

Okay.

You owe me one, buddy.

Yeah, its here.

Todays the big day, Gary.

- Wow! | - Look at me! Im--

Where is it?

Come on. Where is it? | Where is the mail?

- I dont know. | - Are you sitting on it?

Dude, I see it | on the floor.

Yeah.

Push him.

Im moving your chair.

This is it.

This is my future | right here in this envelope.

Hey, youre blocking the tube.

Sorry.

"We regret to inform you...

that your application to Stanford | University was not accepted."

Wait. What?

I didnt get in?

I didnt get in?

But--

I dont get it.

Youre overreacting, dude.
