Any time somebody from the outside lifts|a woman from a "gwat" like Jenns...

we can all find cause to rejoice.

- I'm proud of you.|- "Gwat"?

Punch her apron one time|for me, huh?

Do you want me to feel you up|or anything?

Do you want to die young?

- What kind of question is that?|-Just sit here and shut up.

You don't have a boyfriend,|do you?

See, a lot of guys I know|think that you're...

What?

Confused.

But I know it's just an act.|Do you know how I know?

Enlighten me.

'Cause you radiate|this sexual vibe.

And if you wanted to,|you could be a girl like that.

Ray, this is 1987.

Did you know that a girl|can be whatever she wants to be?

I know.|My mom's a plumber.

That explains|a lot about you, Ray.

And I have an enormous amount|of respect for her.

-Just sit here and act like you like me.|-Okay.

That'll be absolutely no problem.

Hello.

Keith, hi. What's up?

Are you busy now?

Oh, no. We were just talking.|Why?

'Cause I would like to|borrow your car.

If you have something to do,|I can come back and pick you up.

But can I borrow your car?

Well, where are you going?

I'd like to give Amanda|a ride home.

Hey, by the way, congratulations, dude.|She's smokin'.

All right.

Thanks.

Is that okay?

I'd appreciate|a couple bucks for gas.

Sure.|I'll come back in about an hour?

It's just time.|Not like it means anything.

Thanks.

So, you gotta wait around|an hour?

If I want to.

Do you know how much damage|we could do to each other in an hour?

It's kind of a revolting thought,|actually.

Really?|What's "revolting" mean?

- Oh, my God. Get your hands off me.|- Does it mean you wanna come over?

For spring break?|Are you out of your mind?

That's it, I'm taking you to Aspen.|No, I'll take you to Chile.

- Amanda. Hello.|- Hi.

Would you like a ride home?

Well, I'm going home with Shayne.

Shayne, this is Keith.

Keith, Shayne.

Well, I was just hoping|we could talk.

Why don't you call me?

Okay.

Why don't you go with him?

Okay, I'm sorry.

Where's your car?

Well, I'll pull around.

Okay.

Thanks a lot.

- What?|- You made me look really stupid.

I did not. He's giving you|the perfect opportunity to back out.

He wants to talk, so tell him|you're back with Hardy.

- I'm not back with Hardy.|- Okay, then tell him you used him.

- I didn't use him.|- Oh, really?

You didn't use him|to get away from Hardy?

It wasn't deliberate.|I was mad, and he stepped in.

- It was bad circumstances. Okay?|- Okay.

Regardless, the longer you wait|to kill it, the worse it's gonna be.

You saw his face.|I mean, he's completely deluded.

Unless, of course,|you're really interested in him.

Please, please.

The car won't start.

Wait, wait, wait.|Shayne. Shayne!
