Weird Science Page #5

Synopsis: Two unpopular teenagers, Gary Wallace and Wyatt Donnelly, fail at all attempts to be accepted by their peers. Their desperation to be liked leads them to "create" a woman via their computer. Their living and breathing creation is a gorgeous woman, Lisa, whose purpose is to boost their confidence level by putting them into situations which require Gary and Wyatt to act like men. On their road to becoming accepted, they encounter many hilarious obstacles, which gives the movie an overall sense of silliness.

You were looking

at us, right?

Yeah.

So what

are you doing?

Nothing.

I'm waiting

for my ride.

Lis,

come on, hon.

We're late.

Honey, move.

Speak

to you later.

She likes the rough stuff.

What can I do?

There's a party tonight

at Wyatt's house.

You can find his name

in the students' directory

under Donnely.

Pass the word around.

Party?

Don't ask.

You'll have a heart attack

by the time you're 40.

Learn to relax.

Have you tried

inversion boots?

Lisa, you don't

understand my parents.

What's there

to understand?

They're oppressive,

meddlesome,

difficult, demanding,

and totally bizarre.

They're normal parents.

Go get dressed.

Lisa, I created you.

Why do you do things

I don't want?

You and Gary want friends,

you want popularity,

you want

all that stuff, right?

I thought about it.

Sure, but...

So I'm

giving it to you.

Thank you,

but I don't want it

in my house.

If you want to be

a party animal,

learn to live

in the jungle.

Now go get dressed.

I'll pick up Gary.

I can't wait

to meet his parents.

Do you go

to Gary's school?

Do I look like

I'm in high school?

No.

She's a foreign

exchange student.

They have a different

educational system

happening

around the world.

You look very...

mature.

Doesn't she?

I was thinking

the same thing.

What do you do

for a living, Al?

I'm an independent

businessman.

My dad's a plumber.

He's into plumbing.

I guess you plumb,

right, Dad?

Yeah.

I think

it's time to go.

You ready?

Where are you going?

To a party.

To a movie.

Movie party,

is what it is.

No. I've whipped up

this nasty soiree

at his friend

Wyatt's house.

Soir what?

Soiree, honey.

I think

that means party.

Party.

There's going to be

sex, drugs, rock n' roll,

chips, dips, chains, whips...

Your basic high school orgy.

I'm not talking

candle wax on the nipples...

Just hundreds of kids

running around in their underwear

acting like animals.

I've heard enough!

Gary, get to your room!

Yes, sir!

It's okay.

I'll handle this.

Girlie, get out

before I throw you out.

Don't threaten me, Al!

You're out of shape.

I'll kick your ass.

I'm going to make this

real easy for you.

I'm taking Gary

to a party.

Over my dead body.

He's a good kid.

He studies hard.

If anybody

should be bitching,

it should be Gary.

You ever compliment him

on his grades?

Or on anything?

Hey! Hey!

Compliments

embarrass me.

Shut up!

Shut up!

It's so sad that your son's

only sexual outlet

is tossing off to magazines

in the bathroom.

Oh, Gary!

I never tossed off!

You said you were

combing your hair.!

I was!

Gary, shut up!

Water's running

all day.

Shut up!

I never tossed off!
