There are 2 different ways
of getting into a swimming pool.
The first way, you take your toe...
and you carefully test
the water's temperature.
And if that feels okay,
slowly get into the water,
letting your body
adjust to the cold.
Then there's the second way
of getting into a pool.
- Aah !
- You jump.
That's me, Mary Katherine Gallagher.
It's nice to meet you.
Okay. Now, they say that God
works in mysterious ways.
And in my case, very mysterious.
Anyway, this is my story,
and you should pay attention
'cause it's starting right now.
[ Coughing ]
- Are you all right ?
- Yeah, I'm fine. [ Coughing ]
Your birthmark looks like shit.
- So, you're okay?
- Yeah.
Lifeguard!
Aah !
I grew up in a little town
called Besamee Heights.
It's this really friendly place
where everyone likes to say "hi."
[Man]
Hi there.
[Mary] I grew up in what people
called the ugliest house...
with the ugliest lawn
and the ugliest dog.
[ Growls ]
[ Squealing ]
My mom and dad died in this horrible
accident when I was a baby,
so my grandmother took care of me.
And my grandmother
was in an accident too.
Actually, most of my family
had gotten hurt at some point.
- We're sort of accident-prone.
- [ Groans ]
I'm off.
Now, my grandmother used to
always say that when I grow up,
I should become a business woman.
But I didn't really
think about business,
mostly because I couldn't stop
thinking about the one thing...
that I wanted more
than anything in the world.
A kiss. A big Hollywood
fireworks type of kiss.
So each night before I went to bed,
I would pray for God to help me.
And please, God,
send me someone to make out with...
and tongue kiss like this.
[ Slurping ]
Then one day
while me and my grandmother...
were watching some old movie,
it hit me.
There was only one way
I'd ever get what I wanted.
I would have to become
exactly like those people l saw...
getting kissed in the movies.
- I would have to become--
- A superstar.
Ooh, ah.
[ "Ave Maria" ]
This is St. Monica's.
It was the first place
I really thought l had a chance...
[Reciting
The Lord's Prayer]
[ Whispering ]
Superstar !
- Amen.
- Shh.
-[Singing Continues]
- Sorry.
So I tried out for every star-making
activity that St. Monica's offered.
- Higher. Higher.
- Like ballet.
Ooh !
And my gymnastics tryout
didn 't go very well either.
- [Whistle Blows]
- [ Grunts ]
Whoa !
[Girls Laughing]
Evian Graham,
the most beautiful, most popular,
most bulimic girl
at St. Monica's.
Summer, Autumn,
I need your help.
- Yes, Evian ?
- Yes, Evian ?
We could either organize a walkathon
to fight multiple sclerosis...
or a bike-a-thon
to fight polio.
- What'll it be ? Hmm ?
- Hmm.
All the boys liked her.
I think because she had a nice body.
What are you looking at,
boobsweat ?
- Nothing.
