I'll eat his dinner.

Pat, you don't have to

gain weight for him to lose it.

In the meantime...

I want you to read this letter.

Hmm.

Scholarship?

There's another letter for you.

Rochester?

It was just a backup.

Well, I guess that makes up

for the prom rejection, right?

You invited somebody

to the prom?

I have to go study now.

What?

Get in.

Pretty exciting news

that came yesterday.

Yeah.

You given it

any more thought?

What's there to think about?

I'm going to Purdue,

don't you think?

You know what I think?

Why limit yourself when you can

compete with the best?

That's not what Mom thinks.

Your mother has

your best interest at heart,

always.

I want you to remember that.

In fact, she's dying to know

what happened with Michelle.

It's not that big a deal.

Prom only happens once.

Anything that only happens once

is a big deal.

I don't think she likes me.

Well...

if you don't believe in yourself,

I'm not going to.

Now get outta here.

Matt, what are you doing?

What time is it?

- 6:
15!

- Shh.

I mean, you just decided

to run over here

and ask me to prom?

Yes!

You have no idea how loud

you're being, do you?

No!

So will you go with me?

Why don't you just ask me

properly at school?

Okay.

So you think you'll say yes?

Yes!

Yes, I will. Okay?

Just...

Go. Okay?

I'll see you at school.

These might be a little bit snug,

but they'll do the trick, all right?

So...

What do you have

planned after prom?

Early practice for the one

I'm missing tonight.

Hey.

There's more to life

than wrestling with dudes.

Women...

like to wrestle, too.

Oh, Matt.

Matt!

Matt! Matt!

How do I look?

Perfect. Yeah.

Marge, she's gonna be fine.

Hi, Mr. And Mrs. Russell.

Hi, Michelle.

Um, cool tux.

I've got it, thanks.

Thank you.

It's beautiful.

Let's get out of here before

my mom makes my dad drive us.

You want to wear my goggles?

What?

I can't hear you over the engine.

Oh, sorry.

Do you want my goggles?

You want to wear it?

Oh, no, thanks.

They look...

they look cute on you.

I love this car

'cause I can feel the vibrations.

Put your feet on the floorboard,

close to the engine.

Now close your eyes.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Watch out.

Watch...

Whoo!

Yeah. Yeah.

Okay.

Whew.
