Yeah! Come on!

Darian!

You need to get all these

people out of the pool.

Excuse me. All of you

need to leave! Bye-bye!

Hey, no one's listening to you.

You said you weren't gonna drink until

after soccer. You failed, failure!

Dude, I'm not drinking. It's orange

juice, genius. How drunk is she?

I've had one drink, okay? Now you

get your friends out of the pool.

Uh, no.

Okay, then I'm

gonna call the cops.

Okay. Yep, you're cut off.

We're going upstairs.

Excuse me. I'm calling the cops.

Hey, you're retarded.

No, let's... beep, beep. Beep. Beep.

Beep. Beep, beep, beep.

I'm still dialing.

Hello. Operator?

Yeah, um, can you

please help me?

My brother is hurting me

in my no no hole.

Oh!

Why am I so grotesque?

- Shh. -How do you even like me?

What's wrong with you?

Stop.

I don't even like me.

I heard my voice on a voice mail

yesterday, and it was like,

"how can anyone stand

listening to you?"

Oh, you're just drunk

right now, okay?

I hate the way I look when

I talk or when I chew gum.

Don't ever

let me chew gum, okay?

Don't let me chew gum.

And then, I had

the worst thought.

I got to spend the rest

of my life with myself.

Shh.

Let's go to your room. Don't you want to

wake up in your bed tomorrow morning?

Hmm?

Don't you want to do that?

You don't want to sleep here.

Come on, Nadine.

Hey, is there any more

aspirin anywhere?

Maybe. Try... try that

thing over there.

- Hey, no, you don't have to. -Oh, it's...

it's cool. It'll just go faster, so...

All right.

So, what happened?

Uh, somebody let Baxter in

and he pissed.

Do me another quick favor? Can

you grab me those paper towels?

Cool. And just clean up

all this dog urine.

Yeah, right.

Oh, my god! Oh, my god!

What the f***?

Hey, just get out... get out of my room!

Stop looking, man! Just get out!

I don't know.

I don't know. I don't...

I swear I don't even

know what happened.

I don't even know

how it happened.

It was... I don't know. I am so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Are you okay?

I'm just...

Just thinking.

Okay, I'll see you later.

Nadine, you can't just leave

without saying anything. Nadine.

You're my best friend and I love you.

It wasn't your fault.

You disgust me.

That's nice.

Go grow yourself a wispy

mustache, you pervert,

and stay away

from my friends, okay?

Did you just say

"friends" plural?

Your head is

too big for your body.

It makes you look ridiculous.

You'll never be able to fix it.

Mr. Bruner.

I didn't have a chance to do the

homework last night because...

Well, I don't know if you know

this, but my dad passed away.

It's just been really hard

to do anything.

Date of passing?

Sorry?

When, uh...

When did he die?
