The Perfect Score Page #3

What the hell. It sounds like fun.

I told you.

Desmond Rhodes, superstar!

Desmond Rhodes, all-city.

But his grades are shitty.

What do you think?

I look good in red. I was thinking more

of a Philadelphia 76er red, though.

Is that why you haven't

taken the SATs yet?

- The pros?

- Maybe.

- May I speak honestly?

- Please, I wish you would.

Des, I want you

to come to St. John's.

Because the fact of the matter is,

your game is not ready.

If you come with me,

I'll do everything in my power

to get you to the NBA.

But if, God forbid, you don't make it,

you're gonna have

a degree in one hand,

and you're gonna be

prepared for life after basketball.

Now, you see,

that's what I'm talking about.

So where do we go from here?

Well, that's up to you.

You know, your grade point average

is a little bit on the low end

for us at St. John's,

but we can work with that.

What you need is, you need

Hey, Matty, don't freak out, OK?

- About what?

- Just don't.

I won't. What's up?

What are you doing?

Remember the photographer

at the basketball game?

The girl on the base line?

- You told Anna?

- You said you wouldn't freak out.

That was before I knew you

told the class brain.

Well, I'm sorry, Matty.

You ever think maybe

we're not the only ones in this boat?

- What boat? It's Anna Ross.

- I know.

What do you...? What...? What...?

Well, what'd she say anyway?

You know, I don't even know you,

but even if I did,

what you're talking about is wrong.

It's cheating.

- It's a victimless crime.

- OK.

Hypothetical situation:

You're driving, it's late,

you get to a red light

in the middle of nowhere.

Do you run the light?

You see? You don't.

You wait.

Because a victimless crime

is still a crime.

It isn't worth it.

Maybe it is.

Maybe I run it. It depends.

On what?

Am I trying to get

somewhere important?

- So she's in?

- She said no.

Yeah, but she knows about it.

Oh, you like this girl?

- Matty...

- No, no, no.

If you're trying to get

into her pants...

Matt, it wasn't like that.

I just got the feeling...

Something tells me she needs this

as bad as we do.

Oh, OK, something tells you.

Something tells you

just to walk up to Anna Ross

and invite her to break into ETS

to steal the answers to the SAT?

Some inner voice signed off on this?

- Yeah, it did, all right, Matt?

- That is great, Kyle.

Hey, that's me.

Just because they keep getting

younger doesn't mean you will.

Oh, here she is!

The game run late?

Anna's the yearbook photographer.

Yeah, yes. A little.

This is Tom Hackett, a friend who

might be able to help us with Brown.

Hi, Anna.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Hi.

Well, come on, honey,
