And we can sing

just like our fathers

Come on, Eileen

- Oh, I swear

- What he means

At this moment

you mean everything

You in that dress

My thoughts, I confess

Verge on dirty

Oh, come on, Eileen

Come on, Eileen

Too-loo-rye-ay

Come on, Eileen

Too-loo-rye-ay

Now you're full grown

Now you have shown

Eileen

Come on, Eileen

These things they are real

and I know how you feel

Now I must say

more than ever

Things round here

have changed

I said, too-loo-rye

Too-loo-rye-ay

God, it's freezing!

But you wore that toasty costume.

It's not like it's cute or original.

- You'd hope it would be warm.

- Yeah, piss off, Tennessee Tuxedo.

Are you sure it's okay that I come?

Yeah, of course.

Just remember, Charlie, Bob's not paranoid.

He's sensitive.

Sam!

That waitress from the Olive Garden,

she was such a tease.

Will you marry me?

Only with Patrick's blessing.

Patrick?

You are a hopeless stoner

who attends the culinary institute.

I'm gonna say "no" on that,

but nice try. Charlie.

Oh, touch.

So, Charlie. This is a party.

This is what fun looks like.

Are you ready to meet some desperate women?

Here, have a seat.

Hey, ladies.

Meet Charlie.

- Hi.

- Meet ladies.

- Hey.

- Mary Elizabeth.

- Alice.

- Nice to meet you.

This is Charlie's first party ever.

So I expect nice, meaningful,

heartfelt blowj*bs from both of you.

- Patrick, you're such a dick.

- Where the hell did you go?

- The dance was a little boring, don't you think?

- You are so selfish.

We looked everywhere for you.

You could have told someone.

Cry me a river.

How is it that you've got meaner since

becoming a Buddhist?

Just lucky, I guess.

No, you're doing something wrong, I think.

Or something very right.

- Yeah, well...

- Hey!

Look who's here.

Is that Brad Hays?

Yeah. He comes here sometimes.

But he's a popular kid.

Then what are we?

Oh, Charlie! You look like

you could use a brownie.

Thank you.

I was so hungry at the dance.

I was gonna go to Kings...

but I didn't really have any time.

Thanks.

Have you guys felt this carpet?

This carpet feels so darn good.

Charlie, Charlie,

what do you think about high school?

High school?

Bullshit.

The cafeteria is called

the Nutrition Center.

People wear their letter jackets

even when it's 98 degrees out.

And why do they give out

letter jackets to marching band?

It's not a sport.

We all know it.

This kid is crazy.

Mary Elizabeth,

I think you're really gonna regret that...

you know-haircut when you

look back at old photographs.

Oh, my God!

I'm really sorry.

That sounded like a compliment in my head.

My God!

Well, it's kinda true.

Shut up!

I can't even be mad at him. Look at him.
