Welcome to the Dollhouse Page #6

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....

- No, thanks.

- Afraid?

- No, I just don't feel like it.

But I think marijuana

should be legalized.

Why do you always

have to be such a c*nt?

I'm sorry.

Brandon,

I don't mean to be a c*nt.

You know I've got a brother?

No, I never knew that.

What grade's he in?

He's not in any grade.

He's retarded.

I'm sorry.

There's nothing

to be sorry about. He's a tough kid.

He could beat you up

if he wanted.

I'm sorry.

I mean-- Yeah.

Brandon, are you still

going to rape me?

What time is it?

I don't know, but I guess

I don't have to be home yet.

- Nah, there's not enough time.

- Thanks, Brandon.

Yeah, but just remember:

This didn't happen.

I mean no one,

f***in' no one--

I won't tell anybody,

not a soul.

'Cause if you do, I really will

rape you next time.

I have to tell you,

I'm very upset with you three.

But, Mommy,

I didn't do anything wrong.

I know.

Just Mark and Dawn.

But, Mom, I already

spoke to Steve.

- And did you apologize?

- Yes.

I just had to promise to give him $200

for playing at your party.

- Two hundred dollars?

- For chrissake, Harv, it's our 20th!

He's coming by later

to go over some stuff with me.

There's a big Computer Science test

tomorrow.

What about you, Dawn? Are you going

to tear down that mess in the backyard?

Dawn, I am talking to you.

Dawn, listen to your mom

and forget about it.

The clubhouse stands,

and that's final.

Fine.

Have it your way.

Be smart.

Make things easy on yourself.

- Now, this I like.

- Where did you get it?

- The supermarket.

- I picked it out.

Mom, since Dawn isn't eating hers,

can me and Mark split it?

Yeah, can we?

Please?

Go ahead.

I'm gonna need your help

this weekend.

- What do we have to do?

- Tear down that mess in the backyard.

- What do you think?

- I think--

They're all so beautiful.

They're from this summer.

Who took them?

uh, Valerie Mondello.

She's photo editor of the yearbook.

Was she your girlfriend?

For a few days.

It was worth it, though,

don't you think?

Yes.

I'm thinking of using this one

for my first album cover.

You're going to be

on a record?

It'll happen.

It's gotta happen.

It's just

a question of time.

You think

before graduation?

F*** graduation.

- What about college?

- F*** college.

I'm just doing this Computer Science

sh*t with Mark for my parents.

As soon as I make enough money,

I'm moving into the city.

That's where

it's all happening.

I found the disk.

Out.

What do you mean, "no"?

I said out.

Steve and I are talking.

Come on, I said out.

Come on !

- Mom!

- Leave her alone.

This is my room.

- So what? You're being a total fascist.

- What is it?

Did you solve
