Senior Year Page #3

Seth slides the paper over for Odie to check.

ODIE:

I mean, why should Blaine Barnes

get to finger pop these chicks?

What’s he got that we don’t?

(looking at the paper)

8.

ODIE (CONT'D)

No, see, this is wrong. It’s

supposed to be an isotope.

INT. CAFETERIA - DAY - LATER

Ruby Sue holds court at the cool kid table.

RUBY SUE:

What if I get my parents a ski trip

for their anniversary?

BRIE:

Awww.

RUBY SUE:

And when they’re gone I’ll throw

the most bitchin’ party ever.

As her friends laugh and high five, Ruby clocks...

TIFFANY walking toward their table. Ruby Sue deftly pops a

fresh stick of gum in her mouth before Tiffany arrives at the

empty seat next to her.

TIFFANY:

Hey, is anybody sitting here?

BRIE:

No.

Ruby shoots daggers at Brie.

RUBY SUE:

Yeah, but there’s gum on it.

Tiffany pulls the chair out and inspects it.

TIFFANY:

Really? I don’t see any...

Ruby Sue takes the fresh wad of gum out of her mouth and

presses it onto the seat.

RUBY SUE:

Sorry.

She turns her attention back to the table like nothing

happened. Tiffany stands there for a beat.

TIFFANY:

Can I talk to you for a second?

9.

RUBY SUE:

I’m kinda busy... eating lunch.

TIFFANY:

Because If I did something to you

or if I threaten you some how...

RUBY SUE:

You don’t threaten me.

TIFFANY:

So what’s the problem then?

Ruby stands up, ushering her away from the table as...

Blaine grabs a strawberry off her plate.

BLAINE:

Watch this. Skinny post. Deep

route. Right off O’Dell’s dome.

Gonna have to be a dime.

Blaine launches the strawberry across the cafeteria.

CAM:

That spiral is so tight!

Following its trajectory to...

SETH’S TABLE

Where the strawberry bounces off Odie’s face and does a

splash landing in Seth’s soup.

BLAINE (O.S.)

That’s good for six!

ODIE:

I’m gonna get that son of b*tch,

Blaine Barnes. Mark my words.

Seth tries to dry himself off.

ON RUBY SUE:

With Tiffany.

RUBY SUE:

Look at them - nerds, skeezers,

wannabees, weirdos. They all want a

seat at that table.

Ruby ushers her through the cafeteria.

10.

RUBY SUE (CONT’D)

But you know why none of them try

to sit there? Because they’re smart

enough to know they don’t belong.

Ruby Sue pulls a random seat out for Tiffany to sit on.

RUBY SUE (CONT’D)

So if you think you’re gonna sit at

my table then you need to wake up

and smell the teen spirit.

TIFFANY:

Is that how it’s gonna be?

Ruby shrugs.

RUBY SUE:

Everybody wants to be on top of the

pyramid, but how can it stand

without people on the bottom?

Ruby Sue walks away, leaving Tiffany glaring daggers.

INT. HARDING HIGH - AUDITORIUM - DAY

In close on a chubby face pleading for mercy. It’s GLENN from

chemistry class.
