Hair High (2004) - full transcript

"Hair High" is a gothic high-school comedy with a "Carrie"-like story. Cherri and Rod are the high-school king and queen and they justifiably rule their domain. Spud, the new kid in town, accidentally offends both Cherri and Rod and so is forced to become Cherri's slave. Naturally, they immediately hate each other, but of course later they fall in love. Cherri and Spud secretly decide to go to the prom together, and on prom night a rejected Rod forces their car off the road and into the lake. In true 50's ballad style, their car sinks to the bottom of the lake as they share one last kiss. While the bodies of Cherri and Spud lie in a timeless embrace, Rod is successful in thwarting any investigation and is able to get away with murder. On the night of the following year's prom, the car magically comes to life and slowly drives out of the lake with Cherri and Spud, as if nothing had happened, only this time their bodies are in an advanced state of decomposition. Their rusty and water-logged car drives to the prom and just as Rod is about to crown himself new king of the prom, Cherri and Spud enter the ballroom - the spotlight follows them as they cross the dance floor, with all the attendees in shock. As they approach the stage, spiders, bugs, snakes, lizards and fish ooze from their sagging skin and skeletal bodies, and the prom attendees freak as they mount the stairs to the stage. Spud takes the crown and places it on Cherri as the animals attack and devour Rod.

- Cherri and I would
like to welcome you all

to the first day of school.

Hey, Cherri, are those
pencils in your bra

or are you just happy to see me?

But seriously, it's great
to be back and--

Huh, wuh, uh, uh, uh,

I was driving, very happy.

Driving, wave to the crowd,
further along there's.

I didn't see it there, you know.

- Let me at him, Rod,
I'll strip his gears. - No, Zip, butt out.

All right
students, quit your roughhousing

and come to class.

- It's the first day of school

and I wanna start the
year off right.

- Yeah, with a big fight.

- Come on, let's go.
- Yeah, you wanna--

Hmm.

Alright, misters and misses,

please calm down and
report to class.

Hmm, now then,
students,

let me show you the
joys of biology.

Watch closely now.

Okay, who's next?

Don't worry, he's dead.

- Oh, no, not me.
- Oh, not me.

- No, no,.
- No way.

- Oh, no!
- It's too slimy.

Here, you try it, Zip.

- Wow, you, you really mean it,
Mr. Snerz?

Golly, it's like Christmas and
my birthday rolled into one!

So are these his sex organs, Mr.
Snerz?

Ew!

- Sit over there next to Cherri.

Don't be shy.

- Hmmph!

Now class ,

Somebody , anybody, mm.

Yes, Zip.

He was a horny toad.

- Okay, class, what

when an organism is dead
yet comes to life, Cherri?

Uh-uh-uh.

- I'm still waiting, Cherri, mm.

- Study.
- Yes, Cherri,

we should all study.

Cherri.

- The new kid was
rude to Cherri.

- He insulted Cherri's honor.

Attention, attention.

This is your principal speaking.

The new kid was rude
to our Cherri.

Rude kid!

- There's the rude kid!

It's a boy!

We're comin' in!

- Okay.

No, Darlene, it's me,
Zip!

Yeah ,

- I know.
- Ooh!

Ah!

- What's your name, rude boy?

- Uh, uh, Spud.

Spud, let's mash him.

Let's french
fry him.

- Hey, tuber turd, I hear
you're causing trouble.

I hear you been passing
notes to my Cherri in class,

and I thought you were
supposed to be so smart.

Remember this?

Well, it stinks.

You know, dork,
you've made me mad.

Not just mad, but really mad.

I know, I'll make you
Cherri's personal slave.

You like that idea, Cherri?

- Well, remember what
happened to the last one.

- Shh, shh, shh, shh, you
know that was an accident.

But don't think about
falling in love with Cherri.

Actually, you know what, I
hope you do fall for her.

I pray you fall in love
with her, know why?

'Cause if I even see a
hint of affection,

know what I'm gonna do, towhead?

What, no,
what?

Come here, Zip.

This is you, Spuddy boy.

Gosh, Rod,

you're a regular Rembrandt.

- I'm gonna do this.

Then what, Rod?

- Oh, oh, stop, oh,
please stop, please stop!

Oh, please stop, ow, oh!

- And this.
- Oh, ow, oh!

- But most fun.

Yeah, I like fun!

Would be this.

- Ow, ow, oh, oh, the pain,
oh, the pain, the pain, oh, oh!

This sure is
fun.

- The pain, no, ow, boy,
this is unbearable, ow, ow!

- Let that be a lesson to you,
pipsqueak.

Fall in love with Cherri
and that could be you.

Say, Rod ,
could, could you pop off

my other fingernail?

- Cherri, I, I'm just a
new kid in school.

I don't, I don't know
any of the rules,

so what do you say?

Can we just be friends?

♪ Ooh ♪

- Okay, okay, I'll be
your servant,

but, but just for a few days,
right?

Then we'll forget
this whole mess

ever happened, okay, Cherri?

God , I
really hate you.

That's Miss
Cherri to you, slave.

- Ow, ow!

Eeh!

Ah!

Attention.

This is your principal speaking.

Remember there are still
tickets available for the prom,

and for you fellas out
there, my daughter Melody,

still dateless, and the
braces come off

two weeks before the big dance.

Daddy!

Argh!

Ah!

Ah!

Blergh!

Eh.

- Don't panic, if we all
work together,

I, I'm sure he'll be fine.

Can I get some help please,
guys, huh?

Here's the small intestine,
it goes in first.

Okay, large intestine's next.

The kidneys, then the bladder,
careful!

Get the spleen, next
the lungs and the heart.

Yeah, whoo!

All right!
- Awesome, great!

- Way to go!
- A hero!

- Thank you, class,
thanks to you, Spud, and your wonderful
knowledge of biology

I'm alive.

But that doesn't give you any
right to be rude to Cherri.

Attention, attention.

Today's lunch will be sloppy
Joes and creamed corn.

Ow!

Eeh , hey!

You stabbed me.

- Well, you broke my nail.

- Why do I even
carry your books?

You never read 'em.

- Maybe not, but it makes
me look intelligent. - Let me, um, let me
introduce you

to the wonderful world of books.

I shall be your instructor.

First, you place it in
the palm of your hand.

Then, grasping the
cardboard layer on top,

betwixt thumb and index finger,
lift.

This action reveals a
series of white pages

covered, ooh, with black marks.

We call these marks words.

And let me
introduce you

to the wonderful world
of servitude.

- You're a very sad person,
Cherri.

I feel sorry for you.

- Oh, yeah, it so happens
I'm a very happy person. - Ha, ha, ha!
- I've got gorgeous nails,

perfect hair, and I'm captain
of the cheerleading squad.

- And what about Rod?

- Right, and I'm dating
the star quarterback,

and I'm not a spaz like you!

Hey, don't
worry about me.

I've got my books
and my scooter.

- Big deal, I'm gonna be
queen of the prom this year.

I'm 10 times happier than you!

Ha, I, I'm 100
times happier than you.

I'm 1,000
times happier.

I'm a million
times happier.

I'm a
gazillion times happier!

I'm a quintillion

Hey, Zip, I see wearing a
chicken outfit

gets you all excited.

- Oh, gosh, Rod, you scared me.

Oh, I was just dreaming
about Darlene.

I wanna ask her to the prom!

Ha, you'd have better
luck with Mr. Snerz's frog. - She makes my Twinkie tingle,

but she always rejects me.

I've got just the thing
for you, guaranteed to make

you irresistible.
- Gosh, Rod,

you put the stud in student.

Gee, I thought that stuff
was just a myth.

Careful, Zip, it's
powerful stuff.

Just a few drops is
all you need.

- Uh, Darlene, can I
talk to you in private?

- This better be important.

I've gotta get my
thighs loosened up.

So did Rod put you up to this?

- No, uh, I wanted to, uh--

Uh, do you

find me attractive, you know,
in a romantic kind of way?

'Cause I wanted to ask you--

You're
way too weird.

Hut one, hut two,

- Rod fades back to pass.

He's hit.

Holy huckleberry, all is lost!

All is lost!

- Don't worry, Rod, I can fix it.
- - Get in there, number nine!

- Coach, you're out of players.

If you don't replace
your quarterback,

you'll have to forfeit the game.

- You!
- Um, me?

But, but, but,

- Just look at that

I've never seen a
chicken run so fast.

I can't, I can't make it, I can.

- Hold on, that's just too
absurd, a flying chicken mascot?

- It could be true.

- You, you're a gullible goose.

- And you're a malicious moose.

- I'm leaving.
- Whoa, relax, hot shot.

So go,
see if I care.

- Let me finish the story.

You gotta hear this.

So there was Spud, making a
mad dash for the goal line.

Go, go, go!

Go!

Go, go, go, yeah!

- Well, folks, it sure
looks like a touchdown.

♪ Hair high, we love ♪

- It must be a touchdown.

- Come one, let's go!
- Yay, whoo!

- What's all the ruckus, Rod?

- Just a little
after-game celebration.

- Well, I'm gonna have
to give you a ticket, mm.

Whoa, what's this?

What kind of kink fest is
going on here?

Where are your clothes, pervert?

- But, but, but, but I, er--

- Aw, come on, Sarge, we're
just letting off a little steam.

- That's okay, Rod, but
I'm gonna have to give

this young fella here a
ticket for indecent exposure.

- Well, here we are, babe.

After the school year,
we'll be here for real.

- Do you love me, Rod?

I mean really love me?

Course I do,
Cherri baby.

We screw like pistons, don't we?

Gosh, Rod,
you're so romantic.

Rod, let's lay off
the slave kid.

Why, you ain't
getting soft on him, are ya?

No, I'm
afraid he might get hurt.

You know
what he told me?

Your hair was ugly.

- Ew, well, maybe a
little longer.

You know, I heard
that Cheddar has a huge organ.

And there it is.

- Welcome to this sad
occasion as we gather together

to bear witness to a
wonderful life.

I'd like to read a sacred text

I think is appropriate
for the occasion.

The tawny
youth eagerly placed

his dewy thighs around
the quivering member.

Wait,
that's not right.

I think now it would be
fitting and proper

to hear remembrances from his
closest friends, Mr. JoJo?

- Oh, uh, me, uh, I don't think,

well, uh , he came
into my shop many times,

and he was certainly, uh,
energetic.

- And you, Mr. Snerz?

- Ah, yes, well, I can't say

he was a great student,
but

he was certainly, um, different.

- Look at that new kid
pretending
he's Zip's best friend.

And now you,
Miss Darlene.

What have you got to say?

- You know, I hate to be
a wet blanket,

but that guy was just
a creep with a hard-on.

A little reverence,
please?

I find those remarks
inappropriate.

- You know, honestly, I
never liked the guy either.

He always skipped out
on his check.

- Me, either, he had an
irritating personality,

kinda like, you know that sound,

fingernails on a blackboard.

Irritating is right.

He was a terrible mascot, too.

♪ Uh la la ah oh uh ♪

Spud, I wanna
ask you a personal question.

Let's not destroy

the sanctity of the occasion.

It's true, I'm
kind of glad he's dead.

He was a real pain in
the keister.

I find those
remarks inappropriate.

So you
think my hair is ugly, do you?

- Whoa!
- Whoa!

I saw you
flirting with Cherri.

You better watch it,
squirt, I got my eye on you.

- And where are my sprinkles,
pea brain?

- Cherri needs more sprinkles.

- You know I don't like
brown sprinkles,

you useless flunky.

Ew, there's a brown
sprinkle in my hair, ew!

You can't sit there,
I'm telling Rod.

- Go ahead, there's no more
he can do to me anyway.

- Relax, enjoy it.

- Yow!
- This is for the sprinkle

in my hair, and this is
for saying my hair is ugly.

- And this is for the
midnight chicken ride. - You're breaking my hair!
- Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow,

ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!

Oh, God in heaven,

please help me.

- Get off of me, twerp.

How dare you touch me,
you creep!

- Hey, I like your
hair like that.

- What happened in there,
don't tell Rod.

Hi, Rod,
how's it going?

Hey, Darlene, what's up?

Looks
like a messy job.

- Yep.
- Gee,

you're so good with tools.

- Uh-huh.
- Did you ever work

on anyone else's car?
- Nope.

Well, let's
say a close friend

had a car that needed a
lot of attention.

Like a tuneup?

Or maybe just
tightening a few bolts.

- No, this is the only
baby I touch.

What if the other
car were a sexy racer model?

Nope.

- Well, what if I told
you someone else

was working on your car?

- Impossible, no one
touches this baby but Rod.

- I'm afraid right now
someone's working on your baby.

What, where?

- Relax, every hear the
words double entendre?

Of course,
it's one of those

fancy French manifolds, right?

- Well, Rod, think about it.

Maybe one day you'll get tired

of that same old car.

thing, Miss Crumbles.

- Get away from me, you creep.

And don't you ever
touch me again.

- You been changing the
oil in my car, twerp?

You been tightening her bolts?

- What, what bolts?

- I just found out what a
double entendre is, lover boy.

- I'll take care of him, Rod.

- You're not so tough.

If you were really tough,
instead of your mouth,

you'd stick that toothpick
somewhere else.

- Oh, ah, ow, ouch, Mommy!

- Oof!
- My eye, my eye!

Spud, Spud, Spud!

What's the answer?

Spud, do you know the answer?

- Study.
- Ah ,

that's correct, mm,
study and observe.

- Ah, excuse me, Mr. Snerz.

May I ask a question?

- Very good, Spud, that's
the inquisitive spirit

we like to see here at
Echo Lake High.

- Cherri, will, will you
be my date to the prom?

She'll never

go out with him.

She's Rod's girl.
- Oh, well, did you hear what--
- You can't ask Cherri to the prom.
- No, our darling Cherri!

♪ Are you waiting, now
you've made it ♪

♪ You'll be prom queen soon ♪

♪ You won't need a car
to drive there ♪

♪ When he kisses you,
you'll fly there ♪

♪ Quick, get ready for

My goodness,
wherever could Rod

and Cherri be?

- Gee, Miss Crumbles, if
Cherri doesn't show up,can I be the prom queen?

- You know, Darlene, in
some cultures,

instead of proms, they
throw virgins down volcanoes

as a sacrifice, but then I guess

you wouldn't have to
worry about that.

Well, I never!

Ooh!

- Don't worry, you two
get along to the prom.

- Thanks, JoJo!
- I'll clean up.

- Okay, let's go, Buttercup,
story's over.

- No, wait, he's not finished.

- But we're missing
our own prom.

The heroes are fish food,
end of story.

- Is it, is the story
really over?

- No, so anyway, back
to the prom.

- Ladies and gentlemen,
I'm proud to present

your king and queen
and their court.

King Rod

and his beautiful queen, Cherri.

Cherri, Cherri?

- I have some sad news.

Spud, the new kid,

stole my Cherri.

And moved to Mexico.

- Ooh.
- Whoa.

There, there. She'll be back.

This is a very sad moment,
but our prom can survive.

The pageant bylaws state
that when a queen

abdicates the throne, the
first princess

becomes the queen,
Queen Darlene!

I'm proud to crown King Rod.

- No, it's not right, not
without Cherri.

Please, Rod.

- No.
- Please?

- No, no, no, no, no!
- Please, please, please,

please, please?
- No, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no.
- Okay, we'll have to

give it to our next--
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no,

if you insist.

- Ladies and
gentlemen, the royalty of Echo Lake High, King
Rod and Queen Darlene!

- Hey, I got a bite!

- No, you're snagged.
- No, it's a big one.

I'll bet you a beer.

- Hold on, you're
rocking the boat.

- Ah, you're right,
it's snagged.

Get to shore, quick!

- One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight.

Wow, that means you can have

continuous sex for eight
hours , amazing.

Ooh, what's all the excitement?

- Hey, Sarge, what's going on?

- Well, these boys claim they
found Cherri and Spud, mm.

- That's impossible, I just
got a postcard from Cherri.

They're in Mexico.

- See, boys, here's the proof,
mm.

- Hey, Sarge, want a brewski?

- Sorry, boys.
- Wait!

I swear I really saw them.

- Yeah, just come on the boat.

We got beer!

- Can I get some fishing in?

- Sure, they're really
biting today.

Mind if I tag along?

- There's the floating
buoy thingie over there.

Slow it down.

- Ow, ow, ow, whoa!

Ow, ow, ow, ow, whoa!

Stop the engine!

- I can't, it's stuck!

I don't understand machines.

- Out of my way, idiot!

Whoa, oh, my God, I don't
believe it!

- Grab the oar.
- Ooh!

Oops.

Sarge, what
did you see?

- He swallowed too much water,
stand back. I know artificial respiration.

- Stop, stop, for God's sakes,
I'm awake.

- Well, what, what, well,
what'd you see?

- Hmm, I don't remember.

A big oar.

- Let's go back to the marker.

- No need, it's right here.

We'd like one JoJo's

nah, they're in Mexico, yet,

what the, huh?

- Hey, relax, JoJo, it's
us, Spud and Cherri.

We need a bite to eat,
we're famished.

- You're not Spud and Cherri.

You're too thin.

Watch this.

- Well, I'll be damned.

- You've never looked
more beautiful.

- I've always loved your hair.

Oh, I see you saved our

We're going

We, er, missed it last year.

Tastes great.

Want anything else?

It's on the house.

Hey, shut up in the back there.

I'm trying to have a
sentimental moment here!

- Yay!

Yay!

Someone please
stop this madness.

They're ruining our prom.

- Hello, Echo High.

I'm Spud, and this is
Cherri, my beautiful fiancee.

We're your rightful royalty

and we've come back to
claim our crowns.

- That can't be Cherri and Spud.

They crashed off the road
and drowned in Echo Lake!

- Oh, Rod, what's the matter?

Oh, have I lost too much weight?

Oh, please, Rod, look
into my sockets.

Tell me you still love me.

Oh!

- You've made me really mad.

The king is
dead, long live the king!

- Hmm, I don't see any rules

against the king and
queen being skeletons.

I guess it's okay.

A big hand

prom continue.

Don't close your dress in

- The point, the point?

You can't see the point?

Kids these days, sheesh.

You see, love, like
life, is a creative act.

Cherri and Spud were
decomposed skeletons,

yet their romance was a
beautiful and powerful thing.

In their short, tragic lives,
they created a masterpiece,

a masterpiece like this.

And this is what your
romance is like.

- But that's just a
broken cookie.

That's
our romance?

- You must think we're
pretty gullible.

Here's to Cherri and Spud
returning as skeletons.

Oh, yeah, sure thing.

- Believe me now?

- Well, I guess so, but
I have one question.
