Welcome to the Dollhouse Page #5

Synopsis: Seventh-grade is no fun. Especially for Dawn Weiner when everyone at school calls you 'Dog-Face' or 'Wiener-Dog.' Not to mention if your older brother is 'King of the Nerds' and your younger sister is a cutesy ballerina who gets you in trouble but is your parents' favorite. And that's just the beginning--her life seems to be falling apart when she faces rejection from the older guy in her brother's band that she has a crush on, her parents want to tear down her 'Special People's Club' clubhouse, and her sister is abducted....

Well, he did, shitface.

She's just lucky

she's a girl.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Do you think I'll get

into the Hummingbirds next year?

Boys always get in.

Do you think they'll go on a trip

to Disney World next year also?

I don't know! Maybe. It depends.

- On what?

- Hey, dogface.

- Drop dead!

- Let's go.

What's the matter, f*ggot?

ln a hurry to run home to Mommy?

- Shut up.

- Make me, lesbo.

- You think you're so cool.

- You think you're hot sh*t...

but you're just cold diarrhea.

- Ooh ! Listen to this f*ggot.

- Shut up.

- Shut up, you a**holes.

- Yeah, shut up.

Man, if I were you, f*ggot,

I'd be shitting in my pants.

'Cause when you go to junior high, man,

I'm gonna smash...

that little fairy face of yours

into a mushy pulp.

At least he won't

stay back a year.

Retard.

- Hey, Wiener.

- What do you want?

You better get ready 'cause

at 3:
00 today, I'm going to rape you.

Forget that ugly b*tch.

Bug off.

You want to come over

to my house tonight?

Just get the f***

away from me, okay?

Oh, come on.

Get the f*** off.

Nice try, b*tch.

- No, I was trying to meet you.

- Don't bullshit me, you ugly f***!

- I'm sorry.

- Sorry for sh*t!

- So you still think I'm a retard?

- No, you're not a retard.

Please stop.

You're hurting me.

Now strip.

Strip.

B*tch.

Now, listen.

When your sister gets here, let me do...

the talking,

but back me up whatever l--

Oh, Dawn! Come join us.

We need your help.

- We're having a party.

- What for?

Mom and Dad's 20th,

dinghead.

I was talking with your dad,

and we thought...

it would be a great idea

if this year...

we celebrated our anniversary

in the backyard.

We could set up tables,

and there'd be dancing.

Mark's band is gonna be the music.

Your brother...

has even promised

to write a song special for us.

It's our 20th, you know.

What do you think,

if we all pitch in together?

Mom wants you to tear down

your clubhouse.

But that's

the Special People Club!

Oh, honey, I know.

But we really

need the space.

And, besides, it's not

really very pretty, is it?

And you're getting

a little old for clubhouses.

Whom may I say is calling,

please?

Certainly. Hold on a moment.

Dawn.

It's for you.

Hey, ugly.

- Why'd you hurry off like that?

- I-l was in a rush.

- F*** you were. Tomorrow.

- Really, l--

Same time, same place.

You get raped.

Be there.

So, who is this Brandon?

Just this kid from school.

Is he a nice boy?

Yeah, he's okay.

- You alone?

- Yeah.

- What time do you have to be home by?

- 4:
30.

Wait. I have something

I want you to do for me first.

Come on. This way.

And don't try anything stupid.

Do you want me to lie down?

- You want a smoke first?
