Don't ever forget that.

- You guys hear about

Taber's party this weekend?

- Please, it's an

exercise in futility.

I just want to touch

a girl, like this.

- Stop that immediately.

- You know what you

really need, Goob?

You need a girl

you can look up to.

- Oh, speaking of which,

how's it going with Lacy?

- Dude I swear if

you transfer in

from North San Fran-wherever

and bag Lacy Westman

I'm gonna be so pissed.

- Yeah I really don't think

you need to worry about that.

- Dude, you're her tutor.

You're an authority figure.

Chicks love that.

- Think that may be your

fantasy Raf not hers.

- Seriously though,

what's the deal?

- I don't know man,

there is no deal.

I mean as far as I can

tell she hates my guts.

- Yeah man,

welcome to my world.

- You know, it's funny,

you French are supposed

to be so picky about your coffee

but I see you sucking down a

lot of Folgers here, young lady.

- Well, we have to

make do don't we?

- Listen, I got some

primo box seats

for the LA Clips Friday night.

What do you say you an me go out

we get a couple of cadillac--

- Listen I'm very sorry

but I have to discuss

a student right now so

perhaps we can speak later.

Thank you.

Excuse me?

Sorry I know we

haven't officially met,

but if you could

pretend to talk to me

for a minute I would

very much appreciate it.

- Okay.

- I'm Carine Oselle.

- Hi, Bill Palet.

- You know, I don't know if

you have that expression,

but in France sometimes we say

better a stranger

than someone you know.

- Oh yeah, I think our

expression is anyone but him.

- Your son is in

my class, French.

- Yes.

- He's very advanced.

- Well Wes's mother was fluent.

- Was she French?

- No.

Michigander actually but

when she was a little girl

she heard that French

was a romance language.

And she thought

if she learned it

her life would be romantic.

- Nice, and was it?

- I guess it was yes.

- Darwinism is so depressing.

If you just so happen to be born

with the traits

girls deem desirable

then your chin deep in the booty

but if not then your

left out on the fringe

hoping that one of the alpha

males falls off a cliff

or gets eaten by a saber

tooth or some sh*t.

- Don't forget about being rich.

- That's very true,

instant short cut no doubt.

You know what screw this.

I'm going home so I can study,

get into a good college, get

a good job, and get rich.

It's my only hope at this point.

See you later, masturbator.

- Later.

- Okay that should be...

- Should this be...

Please leave.

- Look I don't want--

- Just wait outside.

- She's

in trouble, isn't she?

- What do you mean?

- For failing French.

- She's not gonna fail.
