1. I always felt like
an outsider at Corleone,
Copy !req
2. but I never felt more
like an outsider
Copy !req
3. than when it was time
for the ninth grade dance.
Copy !req
4. So, you going to the dance?
Copy !req
5. You're joking, right?
Copy !req
6. No, seriously. I think
it's going to be cool.
Copy !req
7. For who?
Copy !req
8. When it came to dances,
Copy !req
9. there were two kinds:
the white kind...
Copy !req
10. and the black kind.
Copy !req
11. Why would I go to
that dance anyway?
Copy !req
12. It's just a bunch
of people who hate me,
Copy !req
13. hating me in a room
while dancing.
Copy !req
14. We could film it and call it
Dancing with the Bigots.
Copy !req
15. Well, I'm going.
Copy !req
16. Yeah, right.
Copy !req
17. With who?
Copy !req
18. What are you looking at?
Copy !req
19. Not her!
Copy !req
20. Look. There's only
Copy !req
21. so many athletes. They
can't get all the girls.
Copy !req
22. Try telling that to the Knicks.
Copy !req
23. Dude, come on. I mean,
when you look back
Copy !req
24. on your last year
in junior high school,
Copy !req
25. what are you gonna tell people?
Copy !req
26. "I got my ass kicked
at the ninth grade dance."
Copy !req
27. Look, man, I want to go, but if
you haven't noticed, I'm black.
Copy !req
28. Who's gonna want
to go with me?
Copy !req
29. Maybe Bubbles the chimp
has a sister.
Copy !req
30. Unfortunately, she said no.
Copy !req
31. I thought I had made
my mind up about the dance,
Copy !req
32. but at home,
it was a split decision.
Copy !req
33. So, you don't want
to go to your dance?
Copy !req
34. I don't blame him
for not going.
Copy !req
35. He's the only black kid
in an all-white school.
Copy !req
36. Believe me:
I know what that's like.
Copy !req
37. You went
to an all
Copy !req
38. I went to an all-white world.
Copy !req
39. Everything's
all white:
Copy !req
40. schools, the grocery stores,
the laundromats.
Copy !req
41. The NBA.
Copy !req
42. So, did you go
to your school dance?
Copy !req
43. Yeah, I took this girl.
Copy !req
44. What was her name again?
Copy !req
45. Her name was "I haven't spoken
to her in 25 years."
Copy !req
46. Well, how was the dance?
Copy !req
47. It wasn't good.
Copy !req
48. I hated the music.
Copy !req
49. The food was strange.
Copy !req
50. And, oh, yeah,
I was the only black guy.
Copy !req
51. Well, you know, it all
worked out in the end.
Copy !req
52. I mean, if you would have had
a good time
Copy !req
53. with whatever her name is,
you might not have met me.
Copy !req
54. You had a good time at your
dance, and you still met me.
Copy !req
55. Sure did.
How come I couldn't
have a good time?
Copy !req
56. I'm not saying that
you couldn't have a good time.
You just said...
Copy !req
57. I did not. I'm just
saying it's funny
Copy !req
58. how you don't remember her name
after all these years.
Copy !req
59. That's exactly what you're
saying. It's... Nothing funny...
Copy !req
60. Everybody remembers the name of
the date they took to the prom.
Copy !req
61. Why do I have to remember
her name? It was 25 years ago.
Copy !req
62. I was just having
a loving moment.
What does that mean?
Copy !req
63. Yes, they are arguing
about a 25-year-old dance
Copy !req
64. where they didn't even know
each other.
Copy !req
65. Hey, think fast.
Copy !req
66. Hey, Uncle Ryan!
Copy !req
67. What's up?
Copy !req
68. Ryan?
Copy !req
69. Man, why you got
to say it like that?
Copy !req
70. You sound like I found you
in witness protection.
Copy !req
71. All I want to know is, what
big plans you have this time.
Copy !req
72. Why I got to have big plans?
Copy !req
73. How come I can't just be coming
through to say hello?
Copy !req
74. Because you're not.
Copy !req
75. All right, you want to know?
Copy !req
76. I'm going to tell you.
Copy !req
77. I'm opening a car dealership.
Copy !req
78. Oh!
Go, Drew.
Copy !req
79. My Uncle Ryan
was Drew's favorite uncle
Copy !req
80. because he was a dreamer,
and his dream was
Copy !req
81. to open a successful business.
Copy !req
82. He had some bad ideas.
Copy !req
83. Fried bread crust.
Copy !req
84. Fried bread crust?
Copy !req
85. Some people like the inside
of the bread.
Copy !req
86. This is for people
that like the outside.
Copy !req
87. This is for people
who like bypass surgery.
Copy !req
88. Mmm!
Copy !req
89. How much you need?
Copy !req
90. And a couple of good ideas.
Copy !req
91. They got 31 flavors
of ice cream.
Copy !req
92. I got 31 flavors
of chocolate milk.
Copy !req
93. Swiss chocolate,
cinnamon chocolate,
Copy !req
94. raspberry chocolate,
Copy !req
95. maple chocolate,
peanut butter chocolate.
Copy !req
96. You got to get in on this.
Copy !req
97. Well, what flavor is this?
Copy !req
98. This is milk chocolate.
Copy !req
99. Milk chocolate
chocolate milk?
Copy !req
100. Official drink of diabetes.
Copy !req
101. Man! How much you need?
Copy !req
102. Unfortunately,
Copy !req
103. the lactose intolerance
epidemic killed that one.
Copy !req
104. Oh, man,
a car dealership?
Copy !req
105. Man, that is so cool.
Copy !req
106. You should sell Ferraris.
Copy !req
107. He'll have
to steal them first.
Copy !req
108. A car dealership?
Copy !req
109. All I see is a vacant lot.
Copy !req
110. That's 'cause you got no vision.
Copy !req
111. No, that's because
it's a vacant lot.
Copy !req
112. Look, you know how people have
their cars repossessed, right?
Copy !req
113. Well, you could buy those cars
at an auto auction for, like,
Copy !req
114. three, $400,
Copy !req
115. then sell them
for four times as much.
Copy !req
116. Oh, man. Then we could use the
extra money to buy a new car.
Copy !req
117. You know I don't
like loaning money.
Copy !req
118. No, don't think of it as a loan.
Copy !req
119. You're letting your money
work for you.
Copy !req
120. Think of it
as getting your money a job.
Copy !req
121. Looks like my dad's getting
a snow job.
Copy !req
122. How much you need?
Copy !req
123. Mama?
Copy !req
124. Yes, baby?
Copy !req
125. Can I take ballet?
Copy !req
126. Ballet?
Copy !req
127. Oh, baby.
Copy !req
128. Oh. I've been waiting
for this day.
Copy !req
129. My mother always wished
she had more talent.
Copy !req
130. She dreamt of being in a band.
Copy !req
131. And since she couldn't do it,
Tonya was the next best thing.
Copy !req
132. Oh, oh, hey,
let's see, let's see.
Copy !req
133. Oh, we got to get you
some slippers and some tights
Copy !req
134. and leotards, and you got
to have leg warmers
Copy !req
135. and-and wristbands, and we got
to get you some lessons.
Copy !req
136. And a stretching bar
and a wall full of mirrors...
Copy !req
137. A Russian partner
and a platinum card.
Copy !req
138. Deciding to go
to the dance was easy.
Copy !req
139. Getting somebody
to go with me was a lot harder.
Copy !req
140. Hey, Doc,
can I ask you a question?
Copy !req
141. You just did.
Copy !req
142. I'm just playing
with you, Chris.
Copy !req
143. Now, what it is?
Copy !req
144. I have to ask a girl
out to the dance.
Copy !req
145. I was wondering
if you could give me some tips.
Copy !req
146. Asking is easy.
Copy !req
147. Not getting turned down—
that's the hard part.
Copy !req
148. How do you not get turned down?
Copy !req
149. The girl has to say yes.
Copy !req
150. What makes them say yes?
Copy !req
151. You never know.
Copy !req
152. Yes, you do:
Copy !req
153. money, fame, cars, jobs
and diamonds.
Copy !req
154. But look, look, you got
to take your chances.
Copy !req
155. If she says no,
ask somebody else.
Copy !req
156. That's how I ended up
with my first wife.
Copy !req
157. That's how
he ended up divorced.
Copy !req
158. I decided to take Doc's advice
Copy !req
159. and ask every girl
in the neighborhood.
Copy !req
160. Sorry. I'm going
to Robert's school dance.
Copy !req
161. Look, I kissed you.
It was a game.
Copy !req
162. It's over.
Now leave me alone.
Copy !req
163. Are you crazy?
Copy !req
164. I'm not going
to Brooklyn Beach to no dance.
Copy !req
165. It's all white people
over there!
Copy !req
166. Dance?
Copy !req
167. With you? Please.
Copy !req
168. Quieres que corte?
Copy !req
169. Mejore hechas
te paratras!
Copy !req
170. Better move
to a bigger neighborhood.
Copy !req
171. Meanwhile, Greg made
one small step for nerds,
Copy !req
172. one giant step for nerd-kind.
Copy !req
173. I got a date
to the dance.
Copy !req
174. With who?
Copy !req
175. Jennifer.
Doesn't she hate you?
Copy !req
176. Well, she does,
but she also needs a math tutor.
Copy !req
177. I told her I'd get her a B,
Copy !req
178. and she agreed to walk in
with me and dance with me twice.
Copy !req
179. In Greg's world,
that was second base.
Copy !req
180. Wow. I asked just
about every girl
Copy !req
181. in my neighborhood,
and they all said no.
Copy !req
182. Well, why don't you just
ask somebody here?
Copy !req
183. In all our time as friends,
Copy !req
184. this is the closest I ever came
to punching Greg in the face.
Copy !req
185. How am I gonna get a girl
from this school to go with me?
Copy !req
186. Just ask somebody.
Copy !req
187. I did. I asked Lisa,
Sydney, Darlene,
Copy !req
188. and they all said no.
Copy !req
189. I even asked Ms. Morello.
Copy !req
190. Chris, I'm
flattered, but no.
Copy !req
191. Where's Mary Kay Letourneau
when you need her?
Copy !req
192. Would you ask her?
Copy !req
193. Oh, excuse me?
Buzz off,
sidekick.
Copy !req
194. I'm not the sidekick.
Copy !req
195. He's the sidekick.
Copy !req
196. Sorry, dude.
Copy !req
197. Not to mention, lonely dude.
Copy !req
198. For me, the dance was over,
Copy !req
199. but Greg was getting
the party started.
Copy !req
200. Dude, I know who you can ask
to go to the dance with you.
Copy !req
201. Who is she?
Copy !req
202. Her name's Carrie.
Copy !req
203. She's kind of quiet.
She slips under the radar.
Copy !req
204. Like Al Qaeda.
Copy !req
205. How long has she been
in our class?
Copy !req
206. Since we got here.
Copy !req
207. I had never paid much attention
Copy !req
208. to her,
but when I thought back,
Copy !req
209. she was there
when I first got to Corleone.
Copy !req
210. Oh, yeah, now
Copy !req
211. I remember her.
Copy !req
212. How do you know
she's not going?
Copy !req
213. Well, Jennifer told me.
Copy !req
214. I mean, she wants to go,
just nobody's asked her yet,
Copy !req
215. and she really doesn't care
who she goes with.
Copy !req
216. No standards, no problem.
Copy !req
217. Carrie?
Yeah.
Copy !req
218. Hi. I'm Chris.
You're in
Ms. Morello's class.
Copy !req
219. Yeah. I never really
noticed you before.
Copy !req
220. That happens a lot.
Copy !req
221. So, you going to the ninth grade
dance with anybody?
Copy !req
222. No. You want to take me?
Copy !req
223. So much
for the smooth approach.
Copy !req
224. Yeah.
Copy !req
225. Good.
Copy !req
226. Call me.
Copy !req
227. We'll talk about it.
Copy !req
228. I wouldn't get a date
that easy again until...
Copy !req
229. Actually, I never got a date
that easy again.
Copy !req
230. Over at the auto auction,
Copy !req
231. my uncle was bidding
to strike it rich.
Copy !req
232. This is a very
solid vehicle.
Copy !req
233. Only 17,000 miles,
originally sold for $12,000.
Copy !req
234. We're going to start
the bidding off at $100.
Copy !req
235. I'm looking for $100.
Copy !req
236. I got $100.
I'll go for $150.
Copy !req
237. $150. $150.
Copy !req
238. Thank you very much.
$150. Looking for two.
Copy !req
239. $200. $200. $200.
Give me $200.
Copy !req
240. And I'm looking
for $250.
Copy !req
241. $250. $250. $250.
Copy !req
242. Thank you. $250.
Looking for three.
Copy !req
243. I got $300. $300.
$300 right there...
Copy !req
244. That guy wants
the same car.
Copy !req
245. Don't worry.
I'll get it.
Copy !req
246. $325 right over there.
Copy !req
247. Thank you, sir.
$325, looking for $350.
Copy !req
248. $350
Copy !req
249. $350. Okay, $350.
Copy !req
250. Four hundred!
Copy !req
251. Do you mind?
Copy !req
252. Sorry.
Copy !req
253. $400 right here.
Copy !req
254. $400. Looking
for $450.
Copy !req
255. Anybody $450?
Copy !req
256. $450. Holding up
$400. Going once.
Copy !req
257. Holding $400 twice.
Copy !req
258. Sold!
Copy !req
259. Hey, you won an auction,
not The Price is Right.
Copy !req
260. Okay, well, this looks
like everything.
Copy !req
261. Yeah. Slippers,
leg warmers, tights,
Copy !req
262. hair band, leotard,
sweater, tutu,
Copy !req
263. stretching bar and
mirrors for the wall.
Copy !req
264. You spent a lot of money.
Copy !req
265. Baby, when you are up there
Copy !req
266. in your first performance
of Swan Lake,
Copy !req
267. oh, it will all be worth it.
Copy !req
268. So I guess that means
Swan Lake pays $92.87.
Copy !req
269. So, now all we got to do
is sign you up for class.
Copy !req
270. And help her develop
an eating disorder.
Copy !req
271. Put this on.
Copy !req
272. Oh, cute.
That is cute.
Copy !req
273. Since I was going to the dance
with Carrie,
Copy !req
274. I tried to get to know her
a little better.
Copy !req
275. We did a little walking,
Copy !req
276. a little talking
and a little eating.
Copy !req
277. So, you've been here
the whole time,
Copy !req
278. and you don't have
any friends?
Copy !req
279. What are you, black?
Copy !req
280. I don't like
that many people.
Copy !req
281. I got the exact
opposite problem.
Copy !req
282. Not too many people like me.
Copy !req
283. While we were talking
about people,
Copy !req
284. people were talking about us.
Copy !req
285. Why would she go
with him?
Copy !req
286. He's so dirty.
Copy !req
287. I think he's blackmailing her,
and he's so ignorant.
Copy !req
288. Anybody would be better
than him.
Copy !req
289. He's so... sneaky.
Copy !req
290. That was the nice way
of putting it.
Copy !req
291. What they really meant was...
Copy !req
292. What is she thinking?
Copy !req
293. He's so black.
Copy !req
294. Has she lost her mind?
He's black.
Copy !req
295. Did somebody hit her in the head
with a baseball bat,
Copy !req
296. poke her eyes out
and shoot her up with drugs?
Copy !req
297. Doesn't she know
he's black?
Copy !req
298. Talk about me going
to the dance with Carrie
Copy !req
299. spread like wildfire,
Copy !req
300. and the fire looked
something like this.
Copy !req
301. Well, seems like
it's in pretty good shape,
Copy !req
302. except for one thing.
Copy !req
303. This car has been underwater.
Copy !req
304. Underwater?
Copy !req
305. Yup.
Copy !req
306. Well, can you fix it?
Copy !req
307. Yeah, but it's gonna cost you
about $900.
Copy !req
308. What
We could take
Copy !req
309. the parts out and sell them
Copy !req
310. and get more
than we bought it for.
Copy !req
311. Did anybody ask you?
Copy !req
312. I thought getting a date
to the dance would be
Copy !req
313. the hard part, but having
a date made things even worse.
Copy !req
314. Dude, I've heard what
people have been saying.
Copy !req
315. This is ridiculous.
Copy !req
316. They're treating you like...
Copy !req
317. Like I'm going out
with a white girl?
Copy !req
318. Hey, Pete, Linc.
Copy !req
319. Where's Julie?
Funny.
Copy !req
320. I know.
Copy !req
321. Me and some of the kids
Copy !req
322. chipped in and got
you something?
Copy !req
323. Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?
Copy !req
324. Better than Mandingo.
Copy !req
325. The kids at school
didn't want me to go
Copy !req
326. to the dance with Carrie,
but I knew everyone
Copy !req
327. at the barbershop
would support me.
Copy !req
328. No, no! No!
You're going to the dance
Copy !req
329. with a white girl?
Now, what's the big deal?
Copy !req
330. He's going to the school dance,
Copy !req
331. and it's with somebody
from the school.
Copy !req
332. Thank you.
Copy !req
333. Hey, Monk,
you ever dated a white girl?
Copy !req
334. Nope. But I took a Vietnamese
girl to my prom.
Copy !req
335. Vietnamese?
North or South?
Copy !req
336. South.
Ooh.
Copy !req
337. Well, anyhow,
she spent the whole night
Copy !req
338. hiding under the deejay booth.
Copy !req
339. She was hiding from him.
Copy !req
340. Well, I don't know
a lot about white women,
Copy !req
341. but I know two things:
Copy !req
342. when you perm their hair,
it gets curly, not straight;
Copy !req
343. and when you invite one
to your after party,
Copy !req
344. somebody's going to jail.
Copy !req
345. And it ain't the white girl.
Copy !req
346. Man, my uncle used
to always tell me,
Copy !req
347. "If you see me
with a white girl,
Copy !req
348. I'm holding her for the police."
Copy !req
349. Nicole Richie
said the same thing.
Copy !req
350. Hey, Carrie, can I talk
to you for a minute?
Sure.
Copy !req
351. I've been thinking
about this dance.
Copy !req
352. Me, too.
Copy !req
353. I don't even know
what I'm gonna wear.
Copy !req
354. What about you?
What are you wearing?
Copy !req
355. Nothing. 'Cause I'm not going.
Copy !req
356. When we come back,
Copy !req
357. I'm gonna make matters worse
by hitting her
Copy !req
358. with a bucket of blood.
Copy !req
359. Oh, baby, I forgot
to tell you,
Copy !req
360. Tonya's taking
ballet lessons.
Copy !req
361. Ballet
Copy !req
362. Too, too much.
Copy !req
363. You're supposed to say,
"Oh, baby, that's great!
Copy !req
364. Good luck!"
Copy !req
365. Oh, baby, that's great.
Copy !req
366. Good luck. How much?
Copy !req
367. Not much, I just had to buy her
Copy !req
368. an outfit
and a few other things.
Copy !req
369. Well, what happened
with you and Ryan?
Copy !req
370. Nothing.
Copy !req
371. Hey, Ma, did Dad tell you
about the car that we bought
Copy !req
372. that was dragged
out of the river?
Copy !req
373. What?
Copy !req
374. Note to self:
when doing wrong,
Copy !req
375. leave Drew at home.
Copy !req
376. So you bought a car?
Copy !req
377. It's a long story.
No, it's not.
Copy !req
378. All you had to do was say,
"Baby, I bought a car."
Copy !req
379. Hey, man.
Copy !req
380. Did you find a girl
to take to the dance?
Copy !req
381. Yep.
Oh, that's great.
Copy !req
382. Did you find an outfit to wear?
Copy !req
383. Do you have something
in a white
Copy !req
384. I'm not going.
Copy !req
385. Why not?
Copy !req
386. 'Cause...
Copy !req
387. no one wants to see me go
with a white girl.
Copy !req
388. Not even blind people.
Copy !req
389. Aren't you gonna say something?
Copy !req
390. I guess, "Whew! That was
a close one"
Copy !req
391. would be the wrong thing.
Copy !req
392. Turns out I wasn't
the only one having
Copy !req
393. second thoughts about dancing.
Copy !req
394. Aren't you excited?
Copy !req
395. I guess.
Copy !req
396. Kind of nervous.
Copy !req
397. Baby, this is what
we've been dreaming of.
Copy !req
398. Don't be nervous.
Copy !req
399. See, once you learn the moves,
Copy !req
400. then you're gonna
have a recital,
Copy !req
401. and then you're gonna be
Copy !req
402. recruited by
the Dance Theater of Harlem
Copy !req
403. or the New York City Ballet.
Copy !req
404. And then you're gonna
move to Russia
Copy !req
405. and change your name
to Svetlana.
Copy !req
406. Ma, I don't want
to move to Russia.
Copy !req
407. Can we go home?
Copy !req
408. Oh, okay, I guess.
Copy !req
409. I'll just tell your dad
Copy !req
410. that we spent all
his hard-earned money
Copy !req
411. for nothing.
Copy !req
412. She pulled the same trick
when Tonya
Copy !req
413. didn't want to finish college.
Copy !req
414. Hey! How're you doing?
Copy !req
415. Hello, ladies!
Copy !req
416. I don't know what you're going
to do about this,
Copy !req
417. but I need that money back.
Copy !req
418. Oh, I'm already
ahead of you.
Copy !req
419. What, you put $400 in my wallet?
Copy !req
420. Don't worry, bro.
I got you.
Copy !req
421. Where'd you get that?
Copy !req
422. Sold the car to a dolphin.
Copy !req
423. From my new business,
Ryan's Auto Parts.
Copy !req
424. Drew was right.
Copy !req
425. The car had water damage,
Copy !req
426. but the parts were
in pretty good shape.
Copy !req
427. So I scrapped it
and made 1,100 bucks.
Copy !req
428. $1,100?
Here, Drew.
Copy !req
429. 50 bucks? Ah, cool!
Copy !req
430. Hey, I'm going to head
down to the auction
Copy !req
431. and see if I can find
another one. You in?
Copy !req
432. You insane?
Copy !req
433. You know, I think
I'm gonna give my money
Copy !req
434. a few days off work.
Copy !req
435. I'm in.
Copy !req
436. Drew's money took my father's
Copy !req
437. money's job and made $150.
Copy !req
438. So that's it?
Copy !req
439. You cancel on me?
Copy !req
440. You quit talking to me
Copy !req
441. and I'm just supposed
to be fine with that?
Copy !req
442. Look, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
443. People were saying
bad stuff about us.
Copy !req
444. I didn't want to put you
through that.
Copy !req
445. So I'm not going
to the dance
Copy !req
446. because you can't take
a little name
Copy !req
447. What happened
to "Bed"
Copy !req
448. What's the worst
they can call you?
Copy !req
449. Stymie, Buckwheat, Rochester,
Copy !req
450. Grady, Rollo,
Copy !req
451. Junior Mint, Bosco,
Copy !req
452. Chim Chim, Shoe Sole,
Copy !req
453. Lakeside, Skillet,
Count Chocula, Mudpie...?
Copy !req
454. You done?
Copy !req
455. Look, I was just trying
to look out for you.
Copy !req
456. If you were looking out for me,
Copy !req
457. we'd still be going
to the dance.
Copy !req
458. You don't mind going
with a black guy?
Copy !req
459. You're black?
Copy !req
460. Why didn't anyone tell me?
Copy !req
461. What was I thinking?
Copy !req
462. If you really didn't
want to go with me,
Copy !req
463. all you had to do was say so.
Copy !req
464. I don't even see why you asked.
Copy !req
465. It's not so bad.
Copy !req
466. A black girl would've
burned my house down.
Copy !req
467. Okay, ladies, that's
good for today.
Copy !req
468. And Tonya, great job.
Copy !req
469. You'll make a
wonderful ballerina.
Copy !req
470. Thank you.
Copy !req
471. See, honey?
Copy !req
472. I told you you would be great.
Copy !req
473. Yeah, but you also
threatened to slap
Copy !req
474. the arch out of my foot
if I wasted Daddy's money.
Copy !req
475. Don't say that too loud.
Copy !req
476. The night of the dance,
I was all funked up.
Copy !req
477. So you're sure you don't
want to go to that dance, huh?
Copy !req
478. Yeah, that was a bad idea
from the start.
Copy !req
479. And when I say "start,"
I mean coming here from Africa.
Copy !req
480. Let me ask you something.
Copy !req
481. You still want to go?
Copy !req
482. Yeah, kind of.
Copy !req
483. Then you should go.
Copy !req
484. You can't let anybody stop you
from doing what you want to do.
Copy !req
485. Yes, I can.
Copy !req
486. But I thought you
didn't want me to go.
Copy !req
487. Well, those were for my reasons.
Copy !req
488. You need your own.
Copy !req
489. And right now,
you don't have one.
Copy !req
490. Well, I kind of wanted
to go with a date.
Copy !req
491. You can go on a date anytime.
Copy !req
492. Where's a laugh track
when you need it?
Copy !req
493. But this is your
ninth grade dance.
Copy !req
494. It's still the dance,
whether you have a date
Copy !req
495. or not.
Copy !req
496. You went to see
Rocky III by yourself.
Copy !req
497. It was still Rocky III.
Copy !req
498. Dad?
Copy !req
499. Thanks.
Copy !req
500. For what?
Copy !req
501. For not going on for two hours
about how
Copy !req
502. things are still the same even
if you do it by yourself.
Copy !req
503. He came back two hours later
and did it anyway.
Copy !req
504. Going to the ninth grade dance
by myself,
Copy !req
505. I found out a couple of things.
Copy !req
506. One, nobody expected
to see me there,
Copy !req
507. and two, I didn't care.
Copy !req
508. Hey, Beat Street.
Copy !req
509. Got nobody to
Electric Boogaloo with?
Copy !req
510. No, I'm here by myself.
Copy !req
511. I guess that makes
two losers here tonight.
Copy !req
512. Two?
Yeah.
Copy !req
513. You and Teena Marie over there.
Copy !req
514. Hey, man, you remember
Jennifer, right?
Copy !req
515. Hey, Jennifer.
Copy !req
516. I didn't say you could
Copy !req
517. introduce me to people.
Copy !req
518. The deal is we dance,
Copy !req
519. I stand next to you,
you help me with my grade.
Copy !req
520. You want to add things,
we have to talk about it.
Copy !req
521. I'm just saying "hi"
to a friend.
Copy !req
522. No, I saying "hi"
to your friend.
Copy !req
523. Let's dance.
Copy !req
524. I don't want this to last
any longer than it has to.
Copy !req
525. I gotta go.
Copy !req
526. After getting talked about,
put down,
Copy !req
527. and hated like
it was my first day at school,
Copy !req
528. I figured I might
as well get something
Copy !req
529. out of going to that dance.
Copy !req
530. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
531. I wanted to come
to the dance, so I came.
Copy !req
532. Yeah. Me, too.
Copy !req
533. I'm sorry for canceling on you.
Copy !req
534. Yeah, well... you did
what you had to do.
Copy !req
535. So, you want to dance?
Copy !req
536. Why would I want
to dance with you?
Copy !req
537. 'Cause it looks like
it's either me or nobody else.
Copy !req
538. Yes.
Copy !req
539. "Yes," what?
Copy !req
540. I want to dance.
Copy !req
541. You look nice.
Copy !req
542. Shut up.
I'm still mad at you.
Copy !req
543. Later that night, four guys
Copy !req
544. still beat the crap out of me
in the bathroom,
Copy !req
545. but if I hadn't gone
to my ninth grade dance,
Copy !req
546. that never would have happened.
Copy !req
547. Hey, Carrie, I'm going to lunch.
You want to come?
Copy !req
548. No. I wanted to go to the dance.
Copy !req
549. We went. I'm done.
Copy !req
550. You need a friend,
talk to somebody else.
Copy !req
551. Quit staring at me, bug eyes.
Copy !req
