(car honking)
- What do you want, creepo?
- Ay, we ain't creepos,
we're the Cougars
- And we're number one.
- Yeah, yeah,
number one assholes.
Man, how'd you ever
get your license?
Man, you look too stupid
to read road signs.
- Oh yeah?
- Hey, I'll do you on the
road any day of the week.
You think you're something,
don't you, blondie?
Hey, I'll drag you right
now and you'll eat my dust.
We'll meet you at
the end of the road
and don't punk out.
- You're on, sucker.
- Brian, let me race them.
- Come on, be serious.
- No, I am serious,
let me drive.
- Vicki, come on,
don't play games.
- I'm not playing games.
- Vicki, this is between
me and then, all right?
- Brian, just because I'm a girl
doesn't mean I can beat them.
(engine purring)
- [Voiceover] Where they going?
Why they backing up so much?
- [Voiceover] Hey, forget
it, let's start without 'em.
- You know, it
would embarrass him
to even race against a girl?
Let's do it.
- Yeah? Okay, great.

Got 'em.
- Right there, now, man.
I let 'em gain on us.
I just let 'em gain on us.
Oh my god, it's a girl!
- What is--
- We're racing a girl.
- Come on, we can't let
'em beat us, come on, now.
- Punch it.
- [Voiceover] Oh no, I'm--
- [Voiceover] Oh,
watch it, oh no.
- [Voiceover] How could you
let a girl get in front?
Come on, come on, get 'em,
we can't let a girl beat us.
Keep your hands on
the wheel, let's go.
- [Voiceover] I can't
let a girl beat us.
We'll never be able to go
back and face everybody.
- Come on, come on, man.
Get 'er on the inside,
get 'er on the inside.
- [Voiceover] Oh,
we're going up.
- [Voiceover] Come
on, give it more gas.
- [Voiceover] I got it
floored already, man, come on.
- [Voiceover] Turn right here,
we got 'er right on the inside.
- You just keep your
eye on the road.
I'm watching.
- Whoa! Almost
lost the car, whoa.
- You be careful, you're
gonna drop your tranny
and your old man's
gonna go wild.
- What are you my
mother, come on.
(the cougars groaning)
- [Voiceover] What
are you doing? Oh no.
Look out, man, oh man.
- I can't believe you did this.
You see what she did,
man, she cut me off.
- Hey hey, come on,
man, what you just did?
- I couldn't help it.
- She's all the way down there.
What you just did?
I can't believe
I can't trust you, where
did they go,, down there?
- Hey, I wasn't the one who
challenged them, you did.
"Hey, I'm gonna take you on."
- That was a girl driving
- I'm the one who's driving.
- Own that bitch.
You did it, I don't believe
it, I don't believe it.
- [Vicki] I knew I could.
- We're really stupid, man.
We really are stupid.
(upbeat music)
- You know, football
class is really fun.
Cutest guys are always
coming to see Coach Walker.
- Brian is really
gonna be surprised
when he find out how much
I know about the game.
- Hey, Gina, what's
with all the bananas?
- I'm practicing something.
I read about it in a book.
- Whatever it is,
it looks fattening.
(laughing)
Hi, Brian.
You hear about Jimmy's party?
- Oh, yeah, but I'm doing
something else that night.
- Oh, like what?
- Hey, girl's
football, what a joke.
I mean, the coach
should just have you
watch me in action and then
you'd see what football's about.
- Yeah, we're good
for beginners.
I mean, I can tackle a guy.
Vicki's great,
the coach said so.
- Right, our next quarterback.
- Brian, why can't we--
- Pete, let's cut class
and go watch the
girls play football.
- [Pete] Yeah, okay,
that'll be fun.
- Bye, you moron.
(indistinct chatter)
- Brian!
- Susan, hey, hey,
hey, hey, wait.
Susan, a public place?
- What's the matter?
What are you acting
like that for?
You sure liked me
Saturday night.
- Oh, Susan, come
on, I like you.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, yeah, I'll see
you later, all right?
You're really good, later, Pete.
- See ya.
- See ya.
- What in the heck where
you doing with him?
Now, Susan, I never twisted
your arm to go with me.
Now, if you don't
wanna see me anymore,
just be honest and say so.
- Joe, I don't wanna
see you anymore
- So, you got a
game Friday night?
- I got an exercise
game this year.
(indistinct chatter)
- [Voiceover] But he's
playing another girl.
- Oh, no, listen I got
an extra size for you.
- Press together really hard.
- Hey, Gina, how
you get this on?
Here, catch.
- Oh, god, football, how yucky.
I hate these classes.
- Oh, damn, how did I get
stuck with this thing?
Why did those girls
have to do this to me?
- Isn't it great having
classes with Coach Walker?
- Stupid Board of Education.
Why did they have to
do this to me, why?
- Just 'cause you and
Brian are going steady,
you know, not all
the of us are lucky.
- What are you doing in here?
- I'm just looking.
- Yeah, we know, we know.
Look what we found.
- What was he doing?
- Well, hello.
Get over there.
Honey, come on.
- Why'd they have to
stick me with these girls?
(girls giggling)
Goddamn it! Where are they?
(boy groaning)
I'm gonna get them out of there,
if it's the last thing I do.
(indistinct chatter)
Out on the field, now!
Now, you throw your
full weight on that man.
- All right!
- Pay attention.
What a waste of time.
Your bodies aren't
made for this game
and your minds aren't either.
Now, where was I?
- You said we should throw
ourselves on a guy, right?
- Ah, no, I meant the
player you're tackling.
(girls laughing)
Let's line up.
A-squad in front.
B-squad, ten spaces back.
(whistle)
- You gotta be kidding.
- Ready on the numbers.
- One
- One.
- One.
- Two.
- One.
- Three.
- That's Joanne, Marilyn, Vicki,
Michelle, and Betty.
- That's not Betty, is it?
- That's Betty, all right.
Remember I would know.
- Man, how you manage to get
all these chicks
is a mystery to me.
- Oh, it's easy, they can't
resist me 'cause I'm wonderful.
- [Coach] Come on,
move it out there.
Andrews, what are
you doing there?
Straighten that out.
Andrews, they're not
all that difficult.
Come on over there,
come on, let's go.
Gotta work, get around
there, break them up.
Come on, girls, shake it up.
- 14, 15, 16, 17, 18--
- [Coach] Come on,
let's go, let's go.
Come on, Andrews, don't
turn around with those.
Come on, move, let's go.
Let's go wide like
you were in costume.
All right, Jackson,
you're really moving
your arms there.
- 21, 22, 23--
- Come on, Andrews, get
on with it, come on.
- Girls shouldn't
even be out here.
- All right, take a knee.
Okay, I'm gonna show
you how to tackle.
This is very important.
If you don't know how...
Jackson, stand
up, pay attention.
Now, this is a shoulder.
(girls laughing)
Now, if you don't
use this properly
and you don't know
how to tackle,
you can't win football games.
You take this shoulder
and you hit 'em hard
and hit fast and you
grab 'em around the side,
you see the--
(girls laughing)
Will you stop that laughing?
Come on, Andrews, shape up.
All right and now, for instance,
if you tackle me...
Oh, come on.
- Look at the coach.
- Come on, stand up.
Give me my hat.
Come on, cut it out.
You girls drive me crazy.
- I must tell you, I came back
with the greatest recipe
for a ratatouille provencal
- I heard that she's
got an new boyfriend
and he still gets
into hospitals.
- That has 30 or 40
ingredients in it,
but it's the most--
- It's, excuse me, it's quiet.
I'll go back there
to check on 'em.
- Okay, dear.
- [Voiceover] I wanna
dance, I mean, really.
- [Voiceover] Put some music on.
- Look, wait a second,
I'll go outside and
wait by the door,
when she come down and
goes back upstairs again,
I'll come out and tell you.
- Real punch.
- This party's boring.
- The kids are having
a marvelous time
and they're so well-behaved.
- The coast is clear.
So, it's party time, let's go.
(people cheering)
(indistinct chatter)
- Wait, not so fast.
- Yo, can I get a deuce?
- You want a deuce in here?
- Woo!
- All right.
- You don't even know
what the party's about,
it's Jimmy's
seventeenth birthday.
(slow music)
- Is he going on to college?
- Of course he is, he has
all kind of aspirations
about writing,
very creative guy.
You remember when he
was a little shaver.
- You know these parents
that complain about
their kids and the pot,
I don't know, we're very lucky
and I think we can
take credit for it
because when we were young,
we were brought up right
and now, it's showing
with our kids.
- Get that lamp, please.
- I remember when I was 16,
I had a party and
that's how we behaved.
- Why not?
Nobody's gonna know.
- I just don't think we should.
(knocking)
- Is anybody in there?
- Don't pay attention,
she'll go away.
(knocking)
- Somebody's in here.
- Come on.
- No, I mean, someone
could walk in here.
- We'll be quiet.
- [Voiceover] What,
oh, wait is this?
What are you doing?
- [Boy] You love it,
don't give me that.
- [Girl] Real hot stuff.
- [Boy] You're not the only
one who thinks so, you know?
- [Girl] Come on!
- [Boy] You want this body.
- Okay.
Not this.
Okay.
(knocking)
- Hey, can you
hurry up in there?
I have to go.
- We'll be right out.
I'll be right out.
- [Girl] Wait a minute,
okay, I'll do it..
- I don't, I mean
it's okay, come on.
- I got the cake, everyone,
turn on the light.
- Hey!
- All right.
- Come on, Bill.
- What's going on?
- Come on, this is your chance.
* Happy birthday to you
- Sometimes when
I hear him talk,
I can't believe he's only 17.
* Happy birthday, dear Jim.
- You know, at 17, he
really knows so much.
(cheering and clapping)
- He's such a remarkable kid.
(laughter)
- And I'm awfully proud of him.
(upbeat music)
- It gives me no pleasure at all
to tell you that last
week's quiz was a disaster.
I feel that we
should do better work
in this class than we are doing.
Today, we are going
to be studying
the civilization
of an ancient...
- Mitchell, Mitchell.
- Mitchell, smoking is
not allowed in this class
or anywhere on
the school grounds
and you know that, please.
- Yeah, yeah.
- That was it.
(laughter)
- It's out.
- Now, the study
of ancient Greece
is very important to our
understanding of the rise
of our own western civilization.
This map clearly
shows the relationship
of Greece to the eastern cres--
(snapping)
To the eastern crescent
which was a land
of the Phoenicians.
Now, then, I am sure
from last week lesson,
you are aware of the
many contributions
to our society
that can be traced
directly to the Phoenicians.
What was the major contribution
of the Phoenicians?
Come now, I'm sure someone
must remember that.
Robert, Robert!
- Yeah, yeah.
- What was one of the
major contributions
of the Phoenicians to
western civilization?
Robert, stand up, we
can't hear you, dear.
- I forgot, I forgot.
- Well, we're never
gonna make any progress,
if you forget
everything the day after
it's gone over here in class.
Obviously, you're not
studying in this class.
Now, if we are to learn anything
about western civilization,
it is very, very important--
- Oh, I smell smoke.
- Oh, oh, oh!
- Ms Arganon to the rescue!
- I want everybody to stay calm.
I want everybody
to stay calm, here.
- You're doing a good job.
- No, I want everybody
to remain in their seat.
So, everybody please be
seated until the fire is out.
- It's a fire, man.
- Somebody, please help.
Does anyone know
how to open this?
Will somebody please,
will somebody please?
- All right, Pete, the man.
(clapping and cheering)
- [Voiceover] Man,
that natural fireman.
All right, a natural fireman.
(bell ringing)
(indistinct murmuring)
- Breath like you wouldn't
believe, I mean, bad breath.
- How come people close
their eyes when they kiss?
- To keep from going blind.
- Really?
- No, she's just kidding.
- I'm not, it's
bad for your eyes.
- Hey, you wanna
stop for a soda?
- No, I'm gonna
wait here for Brian.
- Okay.
- I wish I had
someone to wait for.
Hey, wait for me.
- [Brian] You bit me.
- [Girl] Oh, that was nice.
Let's do it again.
- [Brian] You wanna do it again?
- [Girl] Yeah.
- So, this Saturday night?
- What about it?
- Hey, I can do it
standing up, sitting down,
you name it, I can do it.
- Well, it looks like
we're gonna have to
continue our conversation
some other time.
I'll see ya.
- Oh, yeah, see ya later.
- Who was that?
- Vicki, hi.
Okay.
Listen, Why don't we go some
place where we can be alone.
- You really think
I'm stupid, don't you?
- Vicki, what's wrong?
- What's wrong?
We're supposed to be going
steady, but you're not.
- Come on, don't be that way.
Look, you know I'm
crazy about you.
- Oh, Brian, you
know, it's so stupid
of me to believe
you, but not anymore.
Now, look, I don't need--
- Come on, don't be foolish.
Oh, you've been listening
to all those lies
about me from your friends.
- Brian, I don't have
to listen to anybody.
I can see for myself that
you're screwing around
and to think that I loved you.
Well, I quit.
- Listen, baby, nobody quits me.
I do the quitting around here,
let's get that straight.
- Oh, yeah.
Well, screw you, Brian.
- Hey, what are you looking at?
Want me to stomp your ass?
(arcade buttons clicking)
- Terri, can I
ask you something?
- Yeah, sure, go ahead.
- What about sex?
- What about it?
What are you asking?
- Well, I don't know.
Everything, I guess.
I don't know where to start.
I mean, I'm flunking
my sex-ed class.
- What makes you
think I know anything?
- You won.
- I won!
You won it, you won!
- I won!
- I just saw Brian's car
and don't mention
Brian's name to me.
- Oh-oh, you sound angry.
- Brian is such a rotten,
low-down, son of a--
- Oh, look who's here.
- [Vicki] We've broken up.
He's screwing around
with every girl in sight.
- That's not true, Vicki.
He's not screwing
around with me.
- Hey, Vicki, hold up!
Hey, Brian wants to talk to you
- Screw Brian!
Say his name one more time
and I'm gonna roll this
right through your neck.
- [Boy] Vicki, listen, I
don't know what's happened
between you and Brian, but--
- [Vicki] I am warning
you just cut it out.
- Somebody's tickling me.
No, no, somebody's
ripping me off.
Vicki, please, let me go.
- Oh, the big bad Cougars.
So, this is what you guys
do when you're not playing?
- We're only kidding, man.
Come on, no harm done.
- Yeah, we weren't
gonna keep the things.
We're just joking, you know?
- Yeah, yeah.
Well, just to make sure
you don't shortchange him,
empty your pockets into here.
Come on, dish up.
- All right, man, all right.
- There's enough
to get home, huh?
- Come on, those
five dollars is mine.
- What's this?
- I mean, these are my Trojans.
I need these.
- Put 'em in his pocket.
- Aw, come on, man, I need 'em.
Besides, one of
them is used anyway.
- Used?
- Yeah, I'm sentimental.
- Man, take this crap
and get lost, all right.
- You think you're
bad, don't ya?
We'll see you on the field.
- Yeah, man, first
game's coming up soon.
- Vicki, he's the one you're
angry with, not me, please?
- He better not try
to say one word to me.
- Look, all guys screw
around, guys are like that.
Brian's captain of the team.
I wouldn't give up
a guy like that.
- [Gina] I wouldn't
give up any guy.
(somber music)
- You're disgusting.
What are you selling
homemade hepatitis?
- Oh, man, you are always
on the rag, you know that?
Here, have a rag, huh?
Well, I got moves.
Sexual Astrology, Jesus.
- What in the hell
is going on here?
What the hell is this?
What is this?
- What's going on?
He's a pig, he's disgusting.
- Man, I took a shower today.
- Just get outta here.
Get outta here.
I don't even want you, you pig.
- Me? She did it!
- [Boss] Get outta here!
- Wait a minute.
- Get outta here.
Get the hell outta here, go on.
- All right, I'm
going, I don't need you
and you know what, I
know about you two.
That's right, I
know about you two.
- I'll give you a
wave about this.
- You're an idiot.
(murmurs)
- Little boys with dark hair
and blue eyes really turn me on.
I'll help you.
- [Brian] Pete!
- Hey!
- Damn, man!
Bet you smell like
this when you get home.
- So, what?
I got 240 bucks saved already.
Pretty soon you'll be
eating my dust in the road.
- With grease, I wouldn't
go near dust if I were you.
- Want a burger?
I can put one on the grill.
- Yeah, me eat
something you cooked?
Yeah, I know you
don't wash your hands.
- What about a beer then?
- What, you sell beer here?
- No, but the boss
has a private stock.
We can down a couple
and I'll replace 'em
when I go for lunch.
- Go for lunch?
- I don't eat here either.
- Yeah, I'll take you
up on that, Peter.
- Baby blue eyes, you
should drink milk,
get those strong teeth.
- [Brian] Vicki, is
really busting my chops.
- [Pete] Yeah, girls
can sure be a pain.
- Oh, you telling me.
When it comes to girls, you
gotta keep 'em guessing,
keep 'em on a defensive,
and never tell one you love her
'cause that's when all
your troubles begin.
I'm telling you from
experience, man.
- Pete, I've had it
with you, again now.
This is the last time.
The dishes you're breaking,
you're costing me every day.
You know, those are
eight cents a piece.
- I'm sorry.
- You're sorry?
I'm sorry!
What good are you?
You cost me more
than you're worth.
You're just nothing,
I'd rather do it myself.
Do you understand?
You're stupid!
- I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry...
Watch yourself.
(groovy music)
- You know that job is
really getting to me.
My boss is such an asshole
and he's always yelling at me.
No matter what I
do, nothing's right.
- Look, you gotta
straighten yourself out,
you got a bad attitude.
- I want the job, I
gotta keep the job.
- Hang in there, you almost
got enough money for that car.
Before you know it, you'll
actually have the car
and more girls after you than
you'll know what to do with.
- I hope so.
- Come on, let's ride around.
Let's see if we
can find anything.
- I tell ya, I'm not
gonna be here much longer.
- And where ya gonna go?
- Well, as soon as I...
As soon as I make enough
money, I'm going to Hollywood.
- Hollywood?
- Yeah!
- Why ya gonna go to Hollywood?
- 'Cause I'm gonna be a star.
- You're gonna be a star?
- Yes! I have a lot of talent.
I just don't have enough money.
One of these days
you're gonna pick up
one of these magazines
and you're gonna see me.
Just like any of these people
except I'm better than they are.
- Why would you wanna be
in one of these magazines?
- 'Cause I don't wanna be
doing this the rest of my life.
- Are you gonna do this
the rest of your life?
- No, are you kidding?
- What ya gonna do
the rest of your life?
- I don't know.
- Vicki, it's crazy!
- What do you wanna be
on the football team for?
Football isn't for girls.
- Nobody is going
to talk me out of it
- You're just--
- I've made up my mind!
- You're just doing
it because of Brian.
- No, I'm not.
Well, yes I am, but only
because I want Brian
to recognize me
as an individual.
That's why I'm trying out
for the boy's football team.
- [Terri] Fine, come on.
- Absolutely not, never, let's
not play jokes like this.
- But Coach Walker,
I'm not joking.
I just wanna try
out for the team.
- Do me a favor, go away.
- But don't I have the right
to try out for the team?
- Look, if you keep
up this nonsense,
I'm going to send you to
the principal's office.
- That's okay, I'll
go there on my own.
(whistle)
- What?
- But I'm serious, I just
wanna try out for the team.
I've taken the class
all last Spring
and Coach Walker said
that I was a better kicker
than most of the
junior varsity team.
- Football is brutal.
- I'm in good shape.
- Yes, you're in
excellent shape,
but every semester,
boys break their arms
and they break their legs and
they lose their teeth and--
- I know, but I'd
still like to try out.
- Look, why don't we
just forget about this
and you go back to class?
I mean, why on earth would
you wanna play football?
- Why would anyone wanna play?
- What would your parents say?
- Dad doesn't like the idea,
but he says that as a lawyer,
he'll defend my
right to try out.
- Oh, well, really?
You don't know what a
mess you're causing.
Dismissed.
- So, you'll allow me
to try out for the team?
- We'll see what
the school attorney
has to say about
that, dismissed.
- Yes, sir.
- Get me the school attorney.
(indistinct chatter)
- Gentleman!
You will notice that we
have a young lady among us.
- Yeah, all right.
- This is Victoria Mason
who for legal reasons
has been given practice
status on our team.
- What!
She's a girl!
- Girl on the football team?
The other teams will
think we're faggots.
I quit!
- Hold on, all of you.
Sit down.
I'll have no quitting here.
I'm sure Victoria
will soon agree
that this is no
place for a girl.
- How we gonna play with a
chick around here, coach?
- [Voiceover] Yeah,
it's a man's game.
- A guy could never get
practice status that easy.
I mean, we had to work for it.
- Yeah, work for three months.
- Keep your broads
out of our game.
- Hey, sit down a minute!
Cut it out!
Gentlemen, please!
- Come on, man, I had
nothing to do with it.
- We have to give her
status to keep our funding.
She has us by the,
oh, let's watch our language.
- Shit!
- Practice on Monday
immediately after school.
- Vicki, I don't know what
you're trying to do, but--
- Look, Brian, I have
nothing to say to you.
- Vicki, quit.
Like right now, go in there
and tell him you're gonna quit.
- Like why should I?
- 'Cause I said so.
- Yeah, see you at practice.
Hey!
- Vicki!
- Hey, come on, just
leave me, leave me alone.
- What are you doing?
Stay out of this.
- You just leave her alone.
- Get your damn hands off of me.
(boy groans)
- All right, yeah!
- Hey, come on, man.
- Get off of him!
(indistinct yelling)
- Hey! Get up!
I don't know what this is about
nor do I care to know,
but let this happen again
and you're both off
the team, I mean that!
Now, let's clear out of here.
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
2, 3, 4.
- [Voiceover] Set
hut one, hut two.
(screams)
- She actually came to practice.
I can't believe it.
- Yeah, this'll be her
first and last day, though.
She'll never make
it through this.
I got nothing against
you, just quit.
It gets rough out here.
(whistle)
- That's all for today.
- Good workout.
(vicki breathing heavily)
Hey, that was really
some workout, huh?
- Yeah, is it always like this?
- No, sometimes it's worse.
Everybody's surprised that
you're holding up through this.
- I'm sure.
- Well, it is a little
strange for a girl
to be trying out for
the football team.
Especially when her
boyfriend's captain.
- He's not my boyfriend anymore.
- Sorry, I didn't mean to pry.
- It's okay.
- Hey, you know, you're
really not a bad kicker.
Pretty lousy when it comes
to receiving, though.
- I need more practice.
- Maybe one Saturday
we can get together
and I'll throw you a few.
- Oh, wow, that would be great.
- I gotta get going.
I'll see you tomorrow.
- Okay.
- Bye.
- Yo! What were
you doing talking
to that girl, Vicki,
after practice?
- We don't want a girl
on the team, right?
- Yeah.
- Well, I know how
to get her off.
- Let's put it this
way, she's Brian's girl
and if he couldn't get her
off the team, how can you?
- Look, she's not Brian's
girlfriend anymore.
I'll get her off.
- If you can do that,
you'll be the most
popular guy on the team.
- I know how to deal
with girls like that.
- You really did that?
- Gina, you shouldn't
worry about it so much,
practically everybody does it.
- Even the principal does it.
I guess most people do it.
I'm still scared, I
don't know what to do.
- Do you have a date?
- No, I just thought I
should prepare myself.
Vic.
- [Vicki] Looks like
it's time for us to go.
- Hey, Vicky, I
wanna talk to you.
- Look Brian, I
really don't think
that there's anything
for us to talk about.
- So, that's it, huh?
You never wore my ring.
- I threw it away.
- You what?
You throw away my ring?
And there I was
being nice to you,
letting you show the
world that you're going,
you threw away my ring?
- Yeah, I did it
a long time ago.
- Let's just forget
that I even thought
we could get back together.
Hey, you're not the
only girl in my life.
I'll see ya.
- I wish I had guys
like that after me.
(upbeat music)
- There he is.
- Hey, don't get to close, man.
Your face might spoil
the food inside.
- Hey, I'm getting sick and
tired of your wise-cracks, man.
- Yeah, me too.
You know, I think I
want some ice cream.
Let me have a vanilla, please.
- Hey, I wouldn't do
that if I were you.
You guys are so stupid, you
might forget to swallow.
- Oh, yeah, you try and stop me.
Vanilla, please.
- Two double
strawberries, please.
You like strawberry?
- Calling you out, Jack.
- Now, you gonna get it.
- You know...
You know, I'm a lover, like
I mean, I'm not a fighter.
I'm not into that I don't
like violence thing, you know?
- You all right?
- Yeah, I got it.
(boys groaning)
- Give me another one.
- Hey, wait a minute, who's
gonna pay for all this?
- Hey, break it up, come on.
Come on, boys.
Yeah, yeah, oh man,
get up, turn around.
'Cause what the hell
is going on here?
Will you tell me
what's going on?
- Listen, no, we just playing.
Playing, you call this playing?
What's going on here?
- Nothing.
- Nothing? What are
you fighting for?
- A friend of mine.
- This a friend of yours?
- Yeah.
- I want you to
settle this difference
outside off the property
and if you can't settle it,
I'll take care of
all three of you
with this, you understand?
Do you get me?
- It's all right, yeah.
- Knock it off.
- Get ya outside, Jack.
(romantic music)
- I was thinking that I hope
that we keep seeing each other.
And...
that you...
- Quit the team?
Oh, you, too.
Well...
We can go on seeing each other,
but I am not gonna
quit the team.
- That's just what I thought.
You're stubborn.
- Oh, I thought you
said I was okay.
- Yeah, stubborn and okay.
- Be cool, man.
Well, all right, cool.
Got them suckers back.
They have it now, Jack.
- Let's see what we got.
- Hey, get his shoe.
Do you hear that?
- Hold up.
- What are you doing?
Oh, that's beautiful.
- Look at that.
To think I flunked
art, you know?
It, oh man.
Something wrong with you.
Oh, cut that mother.
- You think that's Brian's?
- I don't know.
- [Cougar] Yeah, it is.
- Oh, yeah.
- Hope it is.
- Definitely ruin his image.
- Yeah, I think he's gonna
get the general idea.
- [Cougar] Yeah, it's
your style, man, just.
- Oh, this sucker's gonna be
in bad shape come Saturday.
- I hope this guy
likes to wear this shoe
'cause he ain't, he
ain't getting it off.
- He's gonna be slippin'
and slidin' all over.
- Oh, Jesus.
- Hey, how's this look?
- We definitely,
definitely have talent.
- Without a doubt,
without a doubt.
- Hi, Mrs. Mason, yeah,
it's Brian Caldwell again.
Yeah, is she there yet?
Thank you.
Vicki, now don't
hang up, listen.
Just give me a chance.
I wanna work things
out with you, okay?
I just wanna talk, I
just wanna see you.
- Hey, girls,
what's up, anything?
- Nothing, otherwise,
would we be sitting here?
- Look at him, he's so cool.
Be right back.
- I'm never gonna learn.
You and Terri won't
tell me anything.
- Stop worrying, it'll happen.
- You always say that.
- They're going to the
drive-in, they got beer.
Hey, real cool, you
know what I mean?
Mac will pay, too.
- Where's Mac?
- Oh, he's out in
the Thunderbird.
- He's so cute, I
saw him in school.
- I can't go, I'm in training.
- For God's sake, Vicki!
Please don't tell 'em
you play football.
If we're all crazy,
we'll never get them.
- You go ahead,
I'm gonna go home.
- Okay.
- Oh, boy!
I'm going out with Mac.
- Come on, girl!
- Woo!
- [Voiceover] We
will never forget.
You cannot escape your destiny
just as I cannot escape mine.
- [Voiceover] What
you say is very true.
Very true, if only I had a way
to get the power I seek out,
I'd show those fools out there--
- Why don't you come
a little closer?
- Oh, Pete.
- My name's Mac.
- [Voiceover] Who caused
the accidental trial
which crippled you
where you are now.
- [Voiceover] Yes, yes.
Yes, it's all clear now.
- The hair, the hair.
- [Voiceover] But what
does this mean to you?
- [Voiceover] I have
in my possession--
- Hey, Gina, look
who's over there.
It's Vicki and Brian.
Hey, come on, let's go
over and have a few laughs.
- Oh, come on, I think it's nice
that Vicki and Brian
got back together.
Come on, don't spoil it.
- [Voiceover] Had
secretly buried a monster
hoping to resume these
experiments at a later date.
He also was the man
who discredited you
for fear that you had knowledge
of his work with the monster.
- [Voiceover] When Groden
returns, he will be--
- [Voiceover] Relax, doctor,
I will give you orders
and you will follow them.
- Nice and hot.
- You're so nice and warm.
- [Voiceover] I
think you will find
that working with me will be
the more intelligent
decision, doctor.
- [Voiceover] I cannot
wait, I will help you now.
- [Voiceover] Prepare
your laboratory.
- [Voiceover] Yes, and
all those who would meddle
in the destinies of
Frankenstein and Dracula
will see an infernal bloodbath
the likes of which has not
swept the Earth before!
- Hey, sunshine, how you doing?
- What, I, what happened?
- You fell asleep during
the second picture.
- Oh my god, Brian, it's 7:30.
Oh my god.
- Vicki, where you going?
- My father's gonna kill me.
- Vicki!
- I have to go and
and call them or something.
- Vicki!
- Where's the telephone?
- Wait a minute.
- Where's the telephone?
Brian, I gotta get
to a telephone, wait.
- Slow down, would ya?
- No, I think
there's one this way.
No, Brian, I really have to go.
- Come on, Vicki, slow down.
What are you doing?
- I don't even have enough
to make a phone call.
I have to call them,
they're gonna be worried.
- Hey, look, come on,
I'll take you home.
Come on, it's no
big deal, I'll--
- Brian, then I have
to go right now.
I have to go right now, Brian.
My parents are gonna kill me.
My father's gonna
be so angry with me,
They're not gonna believe me
- Give me five minutes.
All right? five minutes.
- Five minutes for what?
- Well, we came here
in a car, didn't we?
- Yeah.
- So, you fell asleep, come
on, five minutes, we'll talk.
- All right, I give up, what
do you wanna talk about?
- Come 'ere.
- Why?
What?
- I've been thinking.
- About what?
- About you.
- What about me?
- I really missed you, Vicki.
I thought about that time
when I asked you to be my girl.
- Your girl, Brian
Caldwell's girl.
All yours like your car.
Only your car got a better deal.
- Vicki, it's not like that.
- No, it's not like that,
not any more it isn't.
Not gonna be.
- Vicki.
You're really special to me.
- Oh, how many girls have
you said that to this week?
- To one, to you, and that's it.
What do I have to do?
What do I have to say?
How can I get you to believe me?
- I really don't know,
Brian, I really don't know.
- I wanna make it
up to you, Vicki.
- Well, first, I think you
gotta make it up to yourself.
- What do you mean?
- Well, I mean, like maybe
you should ask yourself
why you do the things you do?
Like why you gotta make
it with all the girls
and why you always
gotta be so damn cool?
- Look, Vicki, I'm really
sorry for what I did.
I know I hurt you
and I know that's why
you joined the team.
- Oh, that's not why
I joined the team.
It's more than that.
- [Brian] You did
it to spite me and
because you were hurt.
- No, Brian.
Listen, like when I first
wanted to join the team,
I was no longer Vicki Mason,
I was a girl, a
sex, not a person.
No one was even interested
in giving me a chance
to prove myself and
everyone, including you,
didn't want me on the team
just because I wasn't a guy,
whether I deserve to
be on the team or not.
Well, that doesn't make
sense to me, Brian,
because I'm a person.
And I hope you understand,
you know, like not just
for me, but for yourself.
- Vicki, I want you and
me to be close again.
- It wouldn't be easy, Brian.
- I know that.
I wanna try again.
- Do you really?
- Yeah, yeah, I
really wanna try.
- Well, maybe, I'd
be willing to try.
- Well, I'm willing to try.
- Well.
Can you take me home now?
(indistinct chatter)
- Fellas, that was
a good practice.
- Oh, yeah, sure was.
- Ah, mother, who did this?
I'm gonna kill 'em.
- What? Somebody put
peanut butter in my cleats.
- What's going on here?
You know how much it cost
to replace these things?
- It's the Cougars, they're
trying to break out spirit.
- You think I put peanut
butter in my own cleats?
- Hey, we should get 'em.
We go over there
and even the score.
- [Coach] You'll do
nothing of the kind.
Enough of this, we'll get 'em
on a football field
in an honest game.
(funky music)
- Hey, Frankie!
- Hey, Brian.
- How you doing, man?
- So, what's this
about peanut butter?
- Yeah, can you handle that?
- Hey, they never
did that to us.
- We gotta get him, man.
This is Big Frank.
Pete, my good buddy.
- How you doing
there, champ, good?
- We gotta get em, man, you
have any idea where they are?
- Yeah, they're
probably at the junkyard
stripping down cars.
I always see 'em when
they're passing by.
- Hey, Gina.
- [Gina] Hi, Pete, what's up?
- Oh, nothing much,
just me and the guys,
we're gonna teach
the Cougars a lesson.
- Can it on the noise.
- What, I'm gonna
wake somebody up?
- Will you can it on the noise?
- When we get through with 'em,
you won't know them from
the rest of the junkyard.
- [Gina] The junkyard?
- Well, of course, where else
would you find the Cougars?
- Is that a radio in the car?
- Yeah.
- Take it out.
- All right.
- Hey, you want the carburetor?
- Yeah, we get about
10 bucks for it.
- Yeah, if I can get it out.
- Over there.
Hey, that car over
there, that's my car.
- Oh, man, how'd they get it?
- I sure don't know,
but it's my car.
I'd know it anywhere.
I built it myself.
- Yo.
- What?
- We get about 20
bucks for this.
- [Cougar] All right.
- That's my alternator
you got there.
- Who are you?
- That's my alternator
you're holding
in that grubby hand of yours.
- Yours?
- Yeah, mine.
- Nothing personal,
you can have it back.
- Hey, man, this is our
territory, you know?
Please, come on, man.
- Put 'em down, put 'em down.
- Here.
My car, there's nothing left.
They stripped it all, those
guys, they took everything.
(engine starts up)
- No, all we wanna
do is talk, right?
- We don't wanna talk,
all right talk to me?
- Talk about kicking around.
- All right, then, oh.
- [Voiceover] No, man.
- Brian.
Hey, what are you guys doing?
Brian, come 'ere, I
wanna talk to you.
Brian, can I talk to you?
- Yeah, what are you doing?
- Hey, come 'ere.
- Vicki, what are
you doing here?
- Bobby, come 'ere, come 'ere.
- [Gina] Peter.
- What are you doing?
- What are you doing, huh?
- I don't know, we're
just having some--
- I mean, come on,
you could get hurt.
And where would I be, huh?
- Peter.
- Look, you don't know
what they did to us.
- I don't care what
they did to you.
- What are you doing?
Why didn't you stop this?
You're all gonna get killed.
- No, we're not,
there's only two of them
and there's six of us.
- Oh, come on, Pete.
- Vicki, I don't think this
is any of your business.
- If you don't stop
this ridiculous fight,
you're gonna be riding in
your next car all by yourself.
- Okay.
- Hey, look, don't ever
let it happen again.
We're gonna let
you go this time,
but don't ever let it
happen again, all right.
- Brian, I don't know.
- You're lucky if you ask me.
- I mean it.
- Don't ever let it
happen again, ever.
(upbeat music)
- I didn't know it was his car.
- God, me neither.
(clanking)
- Great, we're
losing all the stuff.
- Oh, now we gotta stop.
- We can't stop.
- Hey, hey, man, what
do you want from us?
We didn't do anything to you.
- Okay, guys, what are
you gonna do about my car?
- We didn't know it
was your car, man.
- We didn't know nothing.
- All I know is my car
is now in bits and pieces
and when I think about
that I get very angry.
- We'll make it up to you.
- That's right, man,
we will, I swear.
- I don't see how except--
- Except what, just name it.
- We'll do it, man,
we'll do anything.
- Anything?
- Anything, I swear.
- Well, the only
thing you could do is
to put my car back together
the way you found it.
- We'll put your car together
like brand new, I swear.
He swears, too, right?
- I swear, I swear, man.
- You can start by picking
the stuff up off the road.
What do you wanna do?
Cause an accident or something?
- You didn't tell
me it was his car.
- I didn't know it
was his car, man.
- Is he still walking behind us?
- Yeah, he's still there, man.
- Just keep walking.
(cougars humming)
(lively music)
(whistle blowing)
- Our first game's
coming up on Saturday
and I wanna make
one thing clear,
you're not playing that game
or any other game,
you understand me?
- You mean, I'm not gonna--
- It annoys me like hell
that you'll even be sitting
there on that bench.
You're not playing.
- But Coach Walker,
I have really--
- You and your father
can take me to court,
I don't care, you're not getting
any further than that bench.
- I thought you said
I was a decent kicker.
- I'll admit that,
but that's only part
of what this game is about.
- Yeah, but I've been
practicing on weekends, too.
- I've been playing this
game for over 35 years.
I love it, the power,
the force of it,
it's a man's game,
one of the few left.
- Well, things are changing.
- Eventually, somewhere,
some of you will get in
and then the changes will start.
The equipment, the
rule, the style,
they'll still call it football,
but it won't be this game.
- You mean, after all
the stuff I've done,
I'm gonna be on the
bench all season?
- Either that or
quit altogether.
You're a fighter, I admire that,
but I'm a fighter,
too, young lady.
All right, let's go.
Come on, let's see it.
(whistle blowing)
(indistinct chatter)
- Brian, I really
wanna be in that game.
- Oh, come on, Vicki,
it's not such a big deal.
You know, it's only
a pre-season game.
- No, I deserve to be on
the team, I earned it.
- You know, maybe you get to
play in the next game, you know?
- No, he said that I can
play in any of the games
and that his word was final.
Oh, I don't know what to do.
- Well...
maybe I can talk to the coach.
You know, I am the
captain of the team
and you know, I have say.
- Yeah, but aren't you worried
about what the
guys are gonna say?
- The guys?
Hey, hey, hey, no,
listen, I'm the captain
and what I say counts
and I'm not worried about
what anybody thinks.
I'll talk to the coach.
(upbeat music)
(telephone rings)
Vicki?
- Brian, where are you?
Aren't you at the game?
- Yeah, yeah, I'm at the field.
It's gonna start in
about 10 minutes.
Listen, you still
wanna play on the team?
- Brian, are you kidding?
- No, I'm serious.
Listen Vic, here's your chance
to prove what you've
been trying to prove,
only you gotta give
something up in return.
- What do you mean
"give something?"
- I talked to the coach
and he agreed to let you play
in this pre-season game
against the Cougars,
but after this you gotta quit.
- Now, wait a minute,
I'm not just--
- He won't let you
play, otherwise.
Listen Vic, you could
be the first girl ever
to play in a high
school football team,
now is that worth
giving up something for?
- All right.
You tell that
bastard it's a deal.
Damn, I haven't got my car.
It's at the mechanic
and I'm here all alone.
- Look, Vicki, if it's
important enough to you,
you'll get here, you know?
I mean, you'll
walk or you'll run
or you'll hitchhike or whatever,
but you'll get here,
I'll see ya later.
(engine purring)
(indistinct chatter)
All right, baby, hop in.
We're gonna ride,
we're gonna ride.
- [Vicki] Excuse me,
it says road closed.
I don't have time
to take a detour.
- [Man] No, it's okay, it's
a shortcut, just relax.
- [Vicki] No, it's not all
right, I'm really in a hurry.
- It's okay, we got
time, we got time.
What's the hurry?
Let's park here a while.
- I really have to go.
I'm in a football game, I'm--
- In a football game?
- Yes.
- A specialty kicker?
- Yeah, thank you very--
- Oh, I got a specialty.
Stay here.
Stay here a while.
- Thank you so much
for the ride.
- Oh, come on, hey!
(indistinct chatter)
* And away we go
- Do you think that you
can go a little faster?
- Hey, what's what?
- Could you go a
little faster, please?
- Past it, oh yeah,
I'm past it now.
- No, could you go
a little bit faster?
I'm in a hurry, I'm
going to a football game.
- Oh, had one,
had one once, yes.
- I'm playing on
a football game.
I have to get to--
- You're playing
a football game?
I knew when Joe Namath
put on them panty hose
that was about the end of it.
Don't worry, you youth,
always in a hurry.
When you get to
be as old as I am,
why you'll find out that
life is a race to nowhere.
That's what you'll
find out, yeah, sure.
- Don't you know it's illegal
to hitchhike in this city?
- Yes, I do, but I'm on my way
to a very important
football game.
- You can watch school
football any time.
- No, I'm not gonna watch it,
I'm playing it, I'm
the specialty kicker.
- You're kidding?
- No, we're playing
against the Cougars.
- The Cougars, they're
a bunch of wise guys.
I run those guy in to one
thing or another all the time.
Get in the car, get in.
- Great, thanks.
(lively music)
(sirens blaring)
Thanks a lot.
- Good luck.
- Say, isn't that
a girl over there?
- There's a girl over there.
- So, let's win this game.
- What number she wearing?
- Let's get rolling.
- Yeah!
- [Voiceover] Hey,
coach, you get him out.
- Come on.
Yeah, woo, yeah, they did it.
(indistinct yelling)
I'm gonna send the girl in.
- Are you kidding, coach?
- This may shake her
up, embarrass her.
Mason, come up here.
Get in there and get that point.
You wanted to play,
now you're playing.
- All right, yeah, okay, yeah.
- I don't believe it.
- I got something for ya.
- Yeah, I got
something for you, too.
- I thought you said
you threw it away.
- I lied.
- You're something else.

(funky music)
(car honking)
- What do you want, creepo?
- Ay, we ain't creepos,
we're the Cougars
- And we're number one.
- Yeah, yeah,
number one assholes.
Man, how'd you ever
get your license?
Man, you look too stupid
to read road signs.
- Oh yeah?
- Hey, I'll do you on the
road any day of the week.
You think you're something,
don't you, blondie?
Hey, I'll drag you right
now and you'll eat my dust.
We'll meet you at
the end of the road
and don't punk out.
- You're on, sucker.
- Brian, let me race them.
- Come on, be serious.
- No, I am serious,
let me drive.
- Vicki, come on,
don't play games.
- I'm not playing games.
- Vicki, this is between
me and then, all right?
- Brian, just because I'm a girl
doesn't mean I can beat them.
(engine purring)
- [Voiceover] Where they going?
Why they backing up so much?
- [Voiceover] Hey, forget
it, let's start without 'em.
- You know, it
would embarrass him
to even race against a girl?
Let's do it.
- Yeah? Okay, great.
(disco music)
- Go ahead, man, go ahead, man.
- We got 'em, we got
'em, we got 'em easy.
- If it's gold, gold,
all right, all right.
- Keep your hands on the wheel.
- You doing good.
- Go, go, go, go, go just go.
- [Voiceover] We got
'em, there's no way
they're gonna win this, no way.
Go, we got 'em, go, go
- [Voiceover] Keep your
hands on the wheel.
- They're coming up,
got 'em, we got 'em.
- Keep you eye on the road.
- God, man, I just
wanted to see.
- keep your eye on the road.
I'll tell you where they are.
- All right, all right.
- [Voiceover] Watch
where ya going
you almost bottomed
out over there.
- [Voiceover]
Would you look out?
- [Voiceover] Whoa! Oh!
- All right, all
right, good, good.
- Come on, come on,
they're coming, come on.
Got 'em.
- Right there, now, man.
I let 'em gain on us.
I just let 'em gain on us.
Oh my god, it's a girl!
- What is--
- We're racing a girl.
- Come on, we can't let
'em beat us, come on, now.
- Punch it.
- [Voiceover] Oh no, I'm--
- [Voiceover] Oh,
watch it, oh no.
- [Voiceover] How could you
let a girl get in front?
Come on, come on, get 'em,
we can't let a girl beat us.
Keep your hands on
the wheel, let's go.
- [Voiceover] I can't
let a girl beat us.
We'll never be able to go
back and face everybody.
- Come on, come on, man.
Get 'er on the inside,
get 'er on the inside.
- [Voiceover] Oh,
we're going up.
- [Voiceover] Come
on, give it more gas.
- [Voiceover] I got it
floored already, man, come on.
- [Voiceover] Turn right here,
we got 'er right on the inside.
- You just keep your
eye on the road.
I'm watching.
- Whoa! Almost
lost the car, whoa.
- You be careful, you're
gonna drop your tranny
and your old man's
gonna go wild.
- What are you my
mother, come on.
(the cougars groaning)
- [Voiceover] What
are you doing? Oh no.
Look out, man, oh man.
- I can't believe you did this.
You see what she did,
man, she cut me off.
- Hey hey, come on,
man, what you just did?
- I couldn't help it.
- She's all the way down there.
What you just did?
I can't believe
I can't trust you, where
did they go,, down there?
- Hey, I wasn't the one who
challenged them, you did.
"Hey, I'm gonna take you on."
- That was a girl driving
- I'm the one who's driving.
- Own that bitch.
You did it, I don't believe
it, I don't believe it.
- [Vicki] I knew I could.
- We're really stupid, man.
We really are stupid.
(upbeat music)
- You know, football
class is really fun.
Cutest guys are always
coming to see Coach Walker.
- Brian is really
gonna be surprised
when he find out how much
I know about the game.
- Hey, Gina, what's
with all the bananas?
- I'm practicing something.
I read about it in a book.
- Whatever it is,
it looks fattening.
(laughing)
Hi, Brian.
You hear about Jimmy's party?
- Oh, yeah, but I'm doing
something else that night.
- Oh, like what?
- Hey, girl's
football, what a joke.
I mean, the coach
should just have you
watch me in action and then
you'd see what football's about.
- Yeah, we're good
for beginners.
I mean, I can tackle a guy.
Vicki's great,
the coach said so.
- Right, our next quarterback.
- Brian, why can't we--
- Pete, let's cut class
and go watch the
girls play football.
- [Pete] Yeah, okay,
that'll be fun.
- Bye, you moron.
(indistinct chatter)
- Brian!
- Susan, hey, hey,
hey, hey, wait.
Susan, a public place?
- What's the matter?
What are you acting
like that for?
You sure liked me
Saturday night.
- Oh, Susan, come
on, I like you.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, yeah, I'll see
you later, all right?
You're really good, later, Pete.
- See ya.
- See ya.
- What in the heck where
you doing with him?
Now, Susan, I never twisted
your arm to go with me.
Now, if you don't
wanna see me anymore,
just be honest and say so.
- Joe, I don't wanna
see you anymore
- So, you got a
game Friday night?
- I got an exercise
game this year.
(indistinct chatter)
- [Voiceover] But he's
playing another girl.
- Oh, no, listen I got
an extra size for you.
- Press together really hard.
- Hey, Gina, how
you get this on?
Here, catch.
- Oh, god, football, how yucky.
I hate these classes.
- Oh, damn, how did I get
stuck with this thing?
Why did those girls
have to do this to me?
- Isn't it great having
classes with Coach Walker?
- Stupid Board of Education.
Why did they have to
do this to me, why?
- Just 'cause you and
Brian are going steady,
you know, not all
the of us are lucky.
- What are you doing in here?
- I'm just looking.
- Yeah, we know, we know.
Look what we found.
- What was he doing?
- Well, hello.
Get over there.
Honey, come on.
- Why'd they have to
stick me with these girls?
(girls giggling)
Goddamn it! Where are they?
(boy groaning)
I'm gonna get them out of there,
if it's the last thing I do.
(indistinct chatter)
Out on the field, now!
Now, you throw your
full weight on that man.
- All right!
- Pay attention.
What a waste of time.
Your bodies aren't
made for this game
and your minds aren't either.
Now, where was I?
- You said we should throw
ourselves on a guy, right?
- Ah, no, I meant the
player you're tackling.
(girls laughing)
Let's line up.
A-squad in front.
B-squad, ten spaces back.
(whistle)
- You gotta be kidding.
- Ready on the numbers.
- One
- One.
- One.
- Two.
- One.
- Three.
- That's Joanne, Marilyn, Vicki,
Michelle, and Betty.
- That's not Betty, is it?
- That's Betty, all right.
Remember I would know.
- Man, how you manage to get
all these chicks
is a mystery to me.
- Oh, it's easy, they can't
resist me 'cause I'm wonderful.
- [Coach] Come on,
move it out there.
Andrews, what are
you doing there?
Straighten that out.
Andrews, they're not
all that difficult.
Come on over there,
come on, let's go.
Gotta work, get around
there, break them up.
Come on, girls, shake it up.
- 14, 15, 16, 17, 18--
- [Coach] Come on,
let's go, let's go.
Come on, Andrews, don't
turn around with those.
Come on, move, let's go.
Let's go wide like
you were in costume.
All right, Jackson,
you're really moving
your arms there.
- 21, 22, 23--
- Come on, Andrews, get
on with it, come on.
- Girls shouldn't
even be out here.
- All right, take a knee.
Okay, I'm gonna show
you how to tackle.
This is very important.
If you don't know how...
Jackson, stand
up, pay attention.
Now, this is a shoulder.
(girls laughing)
Now, if you don't
use this properly
and you don't know
how to tackle,
you can't win football games.
You take this shoulder
and you hit 'em hard
and hit fast and you
grab 'em around the side,
you see the--
(girls laughing)
Will you stop that laughing?
Come on, Andrews, shape up.
All right and now, for instance,
if you tackle me...
Oh, come on.
- Look at the coach.
- Come on, stand up.
Give me my hat.
Come on, cut it out.
You girls drive me crazy.
- I must tell you, I came back
with the greatest recipe
for a ratatouille provencal
- I heard that she's
got an new boyfriend
and he still gets
into hospitals.
- That has 30 or 40
ingredients in it,
but it's the most--
- It's, excuse me, it's quiet.
I'll go back there
to check on 'em.
- Okay, dear.
- [Voiceover] I wanna
dance, I mean, really.
- [Voiceover] Put some music on.
- Look, wait a second,
I'll go outside and
wait by the door,
when she come down and
goes back upstairs again,
I'll come out and tell you.
- Real punch.
- This party's boring.
- The kids are having
a marvelous time
and they're so well-behaved.
- The coast is clear.
So, it's party time, let's go.
(people cheering)
(indistinct chatter)
- Wait, not so fast.
- Yo, can I get a deuce?
- You want a deuce in here?
- Woo!
- All right.
- You don't even know
what the party's about,
it's Jimmy's
seventeenth birthday.
(slow music)
- Is he going on to college?
- Of course he is, he has
all kind of aspirations
about writing,
very creative guy.
You remember when he
was a little shaver.
- You know these parents
that complain about
their kids and the pot,
I don't know, we're very lucky
and I think we can
take credit for it
because when we were young,
we were brought up right
and now, it's showing
with our kids.
- Get that lamp, please.
- I remember when I was 16,
I had a party and
that's how we behaved.
- Why not?
Nobody's gonna know.
- I just don't think we should.
(knocking)
- Is anybody in there?
- Don't pay attention,
she'll go away.
(knocking)
- Somebody's in here.
- Come on.
- No, I mean, someone
could walk in here.
- We'll be quiet.
- [Voiceover] What,
oh, wait is this?
What are you doing?
- [Boy] You love it,
don't give me that.
- [Girl] Real hot stuff.
- [Boy] You're not the only
one who thinks so, you know?
- [Girl] Come on!
- [Boy] You want this body.
- Okay.
Not this.
Okay.
(knocking)
- Hey, can you
hurry up in there?
I have to go.
- We'll be right out.
I'll be right out.
- [Girl] Wait a minute,
okay, I'll do it..
- I don't, I mean
it's okay, come on.
- I got the cake, everyone,
turn on the light.
- Hey!
- All right.
- Come on, Bill.
- What's going on?
- Come on, this is your chance.
* Happy birthday to you
- Sometimes when
I hear him talk,
I can't believe he's only 17.
* Happy birthday, dear Jim.
- You know, at 17, he
really knows so much.
(cheering and clapping)
- He's such a remarkable kid.
(laughter)
- And I'm awfully proud of him.
(upbeat music)
- It gives me no pleasure at all
to tell you that last
week's quiz was a disaster.
I feel that we
should do better work
in this class than we are doing.
Today, we are going
to be studying
the civilization
of an ancient...
- Mitchell, Mitchell.
- Mitchell, smoking is
not allowed in this class
or anywhere on
the school grounds
and you know that, please.
- Yeah, yeah.
- That was it.
(laughter)
- It's out.
- Now, the study
of ancient Greece
is very important to our
understanding of the rise
of our own western civilization.
This map clearly
shows the relationship
of Greece to the eastern cres--
(snapping)
To the eastern crescent
which was a land
of the Phoenicians.
Now, then, I am sure
from last week lesson,
you are aware of the
many contributions
to our society
that can be traced
directly to the Phoenicians.
What was the major contribution
of the Phoenicians?
Come now, I'm sure someone
must remember that.
Robert, Robert!
- Yeah, yeah.
- What was one of the
major contributions
of the Phoenicians to
western civilization?
Robert, stand up, we
can't hear you, dear.
- I forgot, I forgot.
- Well, we're never
gonna make any progress,
if you forget
everything the day after
it's gone over here in class.
Obviously, you're not
studying in this class.
Now, if we are to learn anything
about western civilization,
it is very, very important--
- Oh, I smell smoke.
- Oh, oh, oh!
- Ms Arganon to the rescue!
- I want everybody to stay calm.
I want everybody
to stay calm, here.
- You're doing a good job.
- No, I want everybody
to remain in their seat.
So, everybody please be
seated until the fire is out.
- It's a fire, man.
- Somebody, please help.
Does anyone know
how to open this?
Will somebody please,
will somebody please?
- All right, Pete, the man.
(clapping and cheering)
- [Voiceover] Man,
that natural fireman.
All right, a natural fireman.
(bell ringing)
(indistinct murmuring)
- Breath like you wouldn't
believe, I mean, bad breath.
- How come people close
their eyes when they kiss?
- To keep from going blind.
- Really?
- No, she's just kidding.
- I'm not, it's
bad for your eyes.
- Hey, you wanna
stop for a soda?
- No, I'm gonna
wait here for Brian.
- Okay.
- I wish I had
someone to wait for.
Hey, wait for me.
- [Brian] You bit me.
- [Girl] Oh, that was nice.
Let's do it again.
- [Brian] You wanna do it again?
- [Girl] Yeah.
- So, this Saturday night?
- What about it?
- Hey, I can do it
standing up, sitting down,
you name it, I can do it.
- Well, it looks like
we're gonna have to
continue our conversation
some other time.
I'll see ya.
- Oh, yeah, see ya later.
- Who was that?
- Vicki, hi.
Okay.
Listen, Why don't we go some
place where we can be alone.
- You really think
I'm stupid, don't you?
- Vicki, what's wrong?
- What's wrong?
We're supposed to be going
steady, but you're not.
- Come on, don't be that way.
Look, you know I'm
crazy about you.
- Oh, Brian, you
know, it's so stupid
of me to believe
you, but not anymore.
Now, look, I don't need--
- Come on, don't be foolish.
Oh, you've been listening
to all those lies
about me from your friends.
- Brian, I don't have
to listen to anybody.
I can see for myself that
you're screwing around
and to think that I loved you.
Well, I quit.
- Listen, baby, nobody quits me.
I do the quitting around here,
let's get that straight.
- Oh, yeah.
Well, screw you, Brian.
- Hey, what are you looking at?
Want me to stomp your ass?
(arcade buttons clicking)
- Terri, can I
ask you something?
- Yeah, sure, go ahead.
- What about sex?
- What about it?
What are you asking?
- Well, I don't know.
Everything, I guess.
I don't know where to start.
I mean, I'm flunking
my sex-ed class.
- What makes you
think I know anything?
- You won.
- I won!
You won it, you won!
- I won!
- I just saw Brian's car
and don't mention
Brian's name to me.
- Oh-oh, you sound angry.
- Brian is such a rotten,
low-down, son of a--
- Oh, look who's here.
- [Vicki] We've broken up.
He's screwing around
with every girl in sight.
- That's not true, Vicki.
He's not screwing
around with me.
- Hey, Vicki, hold up!
Hey, Brian wants to talk to you
- Screw Brian!
Say his name one more time
and I'm gonna roll this
right through your neck.
- [Boy] Vicki, listen, I
don't know what's happened
between you and Brian, but--
- [Vicki] I am warning
you just cut it out.
- Somebody's tickling me.
No, no, somebody's
ripping me off.
Vicki, please, let me go.
- Oh, the big bad Cougars.
So, this is what you guys
do when you're not playing?
- We're only kidding, man.
Come on, no harm done.
- Yeah, we weren't
gonna keep the things.
We're just joking, you know?
- Yeah, yeah.
Well, just to make sure
you don't shortchange him,
empty your pockets into here.
Come on, dish up.
- All right, man, all right.
- There's enough
to get home, huh?
- Come on, those
five dollars is mine.
- What's this?
- I mean, these are my Trojans.
I need these.
- Put 'em in his pocket.
- Aw, come on, man, I need 'em.
Besides, one of
them is used anyway.
- Used?
- Yeah, I'm sentimental.
- Man, take this crap
and get lost, all right.
- You think you're
bad, don't ya?
We'll see you on the field.
- Yeah, man, first
game's coming up soon.
- Vicki, he's the one you're
angry with, not me, please?
- He better not try
to say one word to me.
- Look, all guys screw
around, guys are like that.
Brian's captain of the team.
I wouldn't give up
a guy like that.
- [Gina] I wouldn't
give up any guy.
(somber music)
- You're disgusting.
What are you selling
homemade hepatitis?
- Oh, man, you are always
on the rag, you know that?
Here, have a rag, huh?
Well, I got moves.
Sexual Astrology, Jesus.
- What in the hell
is going on here?
What the hell is this?
What is this?
- What's going on?
He's a pig, he's disgusting.
- Man, I took a shower today.
- Just get outta here.
Get outta here.
I don't even want you, you pig.
- Me? She did it!
- [Boss] Get outta here!
- Wait a minute.
- Get outta here.
Get the hell outta here, go on.
- All right, I'm
going, I don't need you
and you know what, I
know about you two.
That's right, I
know about you two.
- I'll give you a
wave about this.
- You're an idiot.
(murmurs)
- Little boys with dark hair
and blue eyes really turn me on.
I'll help you.
- [Brian] Pete!
- Hey!
- Damn, man!
Bet you smell like
this when you get home.
- So, what?
I got 240 bucks saved already.
Pretty soon you'll be
eating my dust in the road.
- With grease, I wouldn't
go near dust if I were you.
- Want a burger?
I can put one on the grill.
- Yeah, me eat
something you cooked?
Yeah, I know you
don't wash your hands.
- What about a beer then?
- What, you sell beer here?
- No, but the boss
has a private stock.
We can down a couple
and I'll replace 'em
when I go for lunch.
- Go for lunch?
- I don't eat here either.
- Yeah, I'll take you
up on that, Peter.
- Baby blue eyes, you
should drink milk,
get those strong teeth.
- [Brian] Vicki, is
really busting my chops.
- [Pete] Yeah, girls
can sure be a pain.
- Oh, you telling me.
When it comes to girls, you
gotta keep 'em guessing,
keep 'em on a defensive,
and never tell one you love her
'cause that's when all
your troubles begin.
I'm telling you from
experience, man.
- Pete, I've had it
with you, again now.
This is the last time.
The dishes you're breaking,
you're costing me every day.
You know, those are
eight cents a piece.
- I'm sorry.
- You're sorry?
I'm sorry!
What good are you?
You cost me more
than you're worth.
You're just nothing,
I'd rather do it myself.
Do you understand?
You're stupid!
- I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry...
Watch yourself.
(groovy music)
- You know that job is
really getting to me.
My boss is such an asshole
and he's always yelling at me.
No matter what I
do, nothing's right.
- Look, you gotta
straighten yourself out,
you got a bad attitude.
- I want the job, I
gotta keep the job.
- Hang in there, you almost
got enough money for that car.
Before you know it, you'll
actually have the car
and more girls after you than
you'll know what to do with.
- I hope so.
- Come on, let's ride around.
Let's see if we
can find anything.
- I tell ya, I'm not
gonna be here much longer.
- And where ya gonna go?
- Well, as soon as I...
As soon as I make enough
money, I'm going to Hollywood.
- Hollywood?
- Yeah!
- Why ya gonna go to Hollywood?
- 'Cause I'm gonna be a star.
- You're gonna be a star?
- Yes! I have a lot of talent.
I just don't have enough money.
One of these days
you're gonna pick up
one of these magazines
and you're gonna see me.
Just like any of these people
except I'm better than they are.
- Why would you wanna be
in one of these magazines?
- 'Cause I don't wanna be
doing this the rest of my life.
- Are you gonna do this
the rest of your life?
- No, are you kidding?
- What ya gonna do
the rest of your life?
- I don't know.
- Vicki, it's crazy!
- What do you wanna be
on the football team for?
Football isn't for girls.
- Nobody is going
to talk me out of it
- You're just--
- I've made up my mind!
- You're just doing
it because of Brian.
- No, I'm not.
Well, yes I am, but only
because I want Brian
to recognize me
as an individual.
That's why I'm trying out
for the boy's football team.
- [Terri] Fine, come on.
- Absolutely not, never, let's
not play jokes like this.
- But Coach Walker,
I'm not joking.
I just wanna try
out for the team.
- Do me a favor, go away.
- But don't I have the right
to try out for the team?
- Look, if you keep
up this nonsense,
I'm going to send you to
the principal's office.
- That's okay, I'll
go there on my own.
(whistle)
- What?
- But I'm serious, I just
wanna try out for the team.
I've taken the class
all last Spring
and Coach Walker said
that I was a better kicker
than most of the
junior varsity team.
- Football is brutal.
- I'm in good shape.
- Yes, you're in
excellent shape,
but every semester,
boys break their arms
and they break their legs and
they lose their teeth and--
- I know, but I'd
still like to try out.
- Look, why don't we
just forget about this
and you go back to class?
I mean, why on earth would
you wanna play football?
- Why would anyone wanna play?
- What would your parents say?
- Dad doesn't like the idea,
but he says that as a lawyer,
he'll defend my
right to try out.
- Oh, well, really?
You don't know what a
mess you're causing.
Dismissed.
- So, you'll allow me
to try out for the team?
- We'll see what
the school attorney
has to say about
that, dismissed.
- Yes, sir.
- Get me the school attorney.
(indistinct chatter)
- Gentleman!
You will notice that we
have a young lady among us.
- Yeah, all right.
- This is Victoria Mason
who for legal reasons
has been given practice
status on our team.
- What!
She's a girl!
- Girl on the football team?
The other teams will
think we're faggots.
I quit!
- Hold on, all of you.
Sit down.
I'll have no quitting here.
I'm sure Victoria
will soon agree
that this is no
place for a girl.
- How we gonna play with a
chick around here, coach?
- [Voiceover] Yeah,
it's a man's game.
- A guy could never get
practice status that easy.
I mean, we had to work for it.
- Yeah, work for three months.
- Keep your broads
out of our game.
- Hey, sit down a minute!
Cut it out!
Gentlemen, please!
- Come on, man, I had
nothing to do with it.
- We have to give her
status to keep our funding.
She has us by the,
oh, let's watch our language.
- Shit!
- Practice on Monday
immediately after school.
- Vicki, I don't know what
you're trying to do, but--
- Look, Brian, I have
nothing to say to you.
- Vicki, quit.
Like right now, go in there
and tell him you're gonna quit.
- Like why should I?
- 'Cause I said so.
- Yeah, see you at practice.
Hey!
- Vicki!
- Hey, come on, just
leave me, leave me alone.
- What are you doing?
Stay out of this.
- You just leave her alone.
- Get your damn hands off of me.
(boy groans)
- All right, yeah!
- Hey, come on, man.
- Get off of him!
(indistinct yelling)
- Hey! Get up!
I don't know what this is about
nor do I care to know,
but let this happen again
and you're both off
the team, I mean that!
Now, let's clear out of here.
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
2, 3, 4.
- [Voiceover] Set
hut one, hut two.
(screams)
- She actually came to practice.
I can't believe it.
- Yeah, this'll be her
first and last day, though.
She'll never make
it through this.
I got nothing against
you, just quit.
It gets rough out here.
(whistle)
- That's all for today.
- Good workout.
(vicki breathing heavily)
Hey, that was really
some workout, huh?
- Yeah, is it always like this?
- No, sometimes it's worse.
Everybody's surprised that
you're holding up through this.
- I'm sure.
- Well, it is a little
strange for a girl
to be trying out for
the football team.
Especially when her
boyfriend's captain.
- He's not my boyfriend anymore.
- Sorry, I didn't mean to pry.
- It's okay.
- Hey, you know, you're
really not a bad kicker.
Pretty lousy when it comes
to receiving, though.
- I need more practice.
- Maybe one Saturday
we can get together
and I'll throw you a few.
- Oh, wow, that would be great.
- I gotta get going.
I'll see you tomorrow.
- Okay.
- Bye.
- Yo! What were
you doing talking
to that girl, Vicki,
after practice?
- We don't want a girl
on the team, right?
- Yeah.
- Well, I know how
to get her off.
- Let's put it this
way, she's Brian's girl
and if he couldn't get her
off the team, how can you?
- Look, she's not Brian's
girlfriend anymore.
I'll get her off.
- If you can do that,
you'll be the most
popular guy on the team.
- I know how to deal
with girls like that.
- You really did that?
- Gina, you shouldn't
worry about it so much,
practically everybody does it.
- Even the principal does it.
I guess most people do it.
I'm still scared, I
don't know what to do.
- Do you have a date?
- No, I just thought I
should prepare myself.
Vic.
- [Vicki] Looks like
it's time for us to go.
- Hey, Vicky, I
wanna talk to you.
- Look Brian, I
really don't think
that there's anything
for us to talk about.
- So, that's it, huh?
You never wore my ring.
- I threw it away.
- You what?
You throw away my ring?
And there I was
being nice to you,
letting you show the
world that you're going,
you threw away my ring?
- Yeah, I did it
a long time ago.
- Let's just forget
that I even thought
we could get back together.
Hey, you're not the
only girl in my life.
I'll see ya.
- I wish I had guys
like that after me.
(upbeat music)
- There he is.
- Hey, don't get to close, man.
Your face might spoil
the food inside.
- Hey, I'm getting sick and
tired of your wise-cracks, man.
- Yeah, me too.
You know, I think I
want some ice cream.
Let me have a vanilla, please.
- Hey, I wouldn't do
that if I were you.
You guys are so stupid, you
might forget to swallow.
- Oh, yeah, you try and stop me.
Vanilla, please.
- Two double
strawberries, please.
You like strawberry?
- Calling you out, Jack.
- Now, you gonna get it.
- You know...
You know, I'm a lover, like
I mean, I'm not a fighter.
I'm not into that I don't
like violence thing, you know?
- You all right?
- Yeah, I got it.
(boys groaning)
- Give me another one.
- Hey, wait a minute, who's
gonna pay for all this?
- Hey, break it up, come on.
Come on, boys.
Yeah, yeah, oh man,
get up, turn around.
'Cause what the hell
is going on here?
Will you tell me
what's going on?
- Listen, no, we just playing.
Playing, you call this playing?
What's going on here?
- Nothing.
- Nothing? What are
you fighting for?
- A friend of mine.
- This a friend of yours?
- Yeah.
- I want you to
settle this difference
outside off the property
and if you can't settle it,
I'll take care of
all three of you
with this, you understand?
Do you get me?
- It's all right, yeah.
- Knock it off.
- Get ya outside, Jack.
(romantic music)
- I was thinking that I hope
that we keep seeing each other.
And...
that you...
- Quit the team?
Oh, you, too.
Well...
We can go on seeing each other,
but I am not gonna
quit the team.
- That's just what I thought.
You're stubborn.
- Oh, I thought you
said I was okay.
- Yeah, stubborn and okay.
- Be cool, man.
Well, all right, cool.
Got them suckers back.
They have it now, Jack.
- Let's see what we got.
- Hey, get his shoe.
Do you hear that?
- Hold up.
- What are you doing?
Oh, that's beautiful.
- Look at that.
To think I flunked
art, you know?
It, oh man.
Something wrong with you.
Oh, cut that mother.
- You think that's Brian's?
- I don't know.
- [Cougar] Yeah, it is.
- Oh, yeah.
- Hope it is.
- Definitely ruin his image.
- Yeah, I think he's gonna
get the general idea.
- [Cougar] Yeah, it's
your style, man, just.
- Oh, this sucker's gonna be
in bad shape come Saturday.
- I hope this guy
likes to wear this shoe
'cause he ain't, he
ain't getting it off.
- He's gonna be slippin'
and slidin' all over.
- Oh, Jesus.
- Hey, how's this look?
- We definitely,
definitely have talent.
- Without a doubt,
without a doubt.
- Hi, Mrs. Mason, yeah,
it's Brian Caldwell again.
Yeah, is she there yet?
Thank you.
Vicki, now don't
hang up, listen.
Just give me a chance.
I wanna work things
out with you, okay?
I just wanna talk, I
just wanna see you.
- Hey, girls,
what's up, anything?
- Nothing, otherwise,
would we be sitting here?
- Look at him, he's so cool.
Be right back.
- I'm never gonna learn.
You and Terri won't
tell me anything.
- Stop worrying, it'll happen.
- You always say that.
- They're going to the
drive-in, they got beer.
Hey, real cool, you
know what I mean?
Mac will pay, too.
- Where's Mac?
- Oh, he's out in
the Thunderbird.
- He's so cute, I
saw him in school.
- I can't go, I'm in training.
- For God's sake, Vicki!
Please don't tell 'em
you play football.
If we're all crazy,
we'll never get them.
- You go ahead,
I'm gonna go home.
- Okay.
- Oh, boy!
I'm going out with Mac.
- Come on, girl!
- Woo!
- [Voiceover] We
will never forget.
You cannot escape your destiny
just as I cannot escape mine.
- [Voiceover] What
you say is very true.
Very true, if only I had a way
to get the power I seek out,
I'd show those fools out there--
- Why don't you come
a little closer?
- Oh, Pete.
- My name's Mac.
- [Voiceover] Who caused
the accidental trial
which crippled you
where you are now.
- [Voiceover] Yes, yes.
Yes, it's all clear now.
- The hair, the hair.
- [Voiceover] But what
does this mean to you?
- [Voiceover] I have
in my possession--
- Hey, Gina, look
who's over there.
It's Vicki and Brian.
Hey, come on, let's go
over and have a few laughs.
- Oh, come on, I think it's nice
that Vicki and Brian
got back together.
Come on, don't spoil it.
- [Voiceover] Had
secretly buried a monster
hoping to resume these
experiments at a later date.
He also was the man
who discredited you
for fear that you had knowledge
of his work with the monster.
- [Voiceover] When Groden
returns, he will be--
- [Voiceover] Relax, doctor,
I will give you orders
and you will follow them.
- Nice and hot.
- You're so nice and warm.
- [Voiceover] I
think you will find
that working with me will be
the more intelligent
decision, doctor.
- [Voiceover] I cannot
wait, I will help you now.
- [Voiceover] Prepare
your laboratory.
- [Voiceover] Yes, and
all those who would meddle
in the destinies of
Frankenstein and Dracula
will see an infernal bloodbath
the likes of which has not
swept the Earth before!
- Hey, sunshine, how you doing?
- What, I, what happened?
- You fell asleep during
the second picture.
- Oh my god, Brian, it's 7:30.
Oh my god.
- Vicki, where you going?
- My father's gonna kill me.
- Vicki!
- I have to go and
and call them or something.
- Vicki!
- Where's the telephone?
- Wait a minute.
- Where's the telephone?
Brian, I gotta get
to a telephone, wait.
- Slow down, would ya?
- No, I think
there's one this way.
No, Brian, I really have to go.
- Come on, Vicki, slow down.
What are you doing?
- I don't even have enough
to make a phone call.
I have to call them,
they're gonna be worried.
- Hey, look, come on,
I'll take you home.
Come on, it's no
big deal, I'll--
- Brian, then I have
to go right now.
I have to go right now, Brian.
My parents are gonna kill me.
My father's gonna
be so angry with me,
They're not gonna believe me
- Give me five minutes.
All right? five minutes.
- Five minutes for what?
- Well, we came here
in a car, didn't we?
- Yeah.
- So, you fell asleep, come
on, five minutes, we'll talk.
- All right, I give up, what
do you wanna talk about?
- Come 'ere.
- Why?
What?
- I've been thinking.
- About what?
- About you.
- What about me?
- I really missed you, Vicki.
I thought about that time
when I asked you to be my girl.
- Your girl, Brian
Caldwell's girl.
All yours like your car.
Only your car got a better deal.
- Vicki, it's not like that.
- No, it's not like that,
not any more it isn't.
Not gonna be.
- Vicki.
You're really special to me.
- Oh, how many girls have
you said that to this week?
- To one, to you, and that's it.
What do I have to do?
What do I have to say?
How can I get you to believe me?
- I really don't know,
Brian, I really don't know.
- I wanna make it
up to you, Vicki.
- Well, first, I think you
gotta make it up to yourself.
- What do you mean?
- Well, I mean, like maybe
you should ask yourself
why you do the things you do?
Like why you gotta make
it with all the girls
and why you always
gotta be so damn cool?
- Look, Vicki, I'm really
sorry for what I did.
I know I hurt you
and I know that's why
you joined the team.
- Oh, that's not why
I joined the team.
It's more than that.
- [Brian] You did
it to spite me and
because you were hurt.
- No, Brian.
Listen, like when I first
wanted to join the team,
I was no longer Vicki Mason,
I was a girl, a
sex, not a person.
No one was even interested
in giving me a chance
to prove myself and
everyone, including you,
didn't want me on the team
just because I wasn't a guy,
whether I deserve to
be on the team or not.
Well, that doesn't make
sense to me, Brian,
because I'm a person.
And I hope you understand,
you know, like not just
for me, but for yourself.
- Vicki, I want you and
me to be close again.
- It wouldn't be easy, Brian.
- I know that.
I wanna try again.
- Do you really?
- Yeah, yeah, I
really wanna try.
- Well, maybe, I'd
be willing to try.
- Well, I'm willing to try.
- Well.
Can you take me home now?
(indistinct chatter)
- Fellas, that was
a good practice.
- Oh, yeah, sure was.
- Ah, mother, who did this?
I'm gonna kill 'em.
- What? Somebody put
peanut butter in my cleats.
- What's going on here?
You know how much it cost
to replace these things?
- It's the Cougars, they're
trying to break out spirit.
- You think I put peanut
butter in my own cleats?
- Hey, we should get 'em.
We go over there
and even the score.
- [Coach] You'll do
nothing of the kind.
Enough of this, we'll get 'em
on a football field
in an honest game.
(funky music)
- Hey, Frankie!
- Hey, Brian.
- How you doing, man?
- So, what's this
about peanut butter?
- Yeah, can you handle that?
- Hey, they never
did that to us.
- We gotta get him, man.
This is Big Frank.
Pete, my good buddy.
- How you doing
there, champ, good?
- We gotta get em, man, you
have any idea where they are?
- Yeah, they're
probably at the junkyard
stripping down cars.
I always see 'em when
they're passing by.
- Hey, Gina.
- [Gina] Hi, Pete, what's up?
- Oh, nothing much,
just me and the guys,
we're gonna teach
the Cougars a lesson.
- Can it on the noise.
- What, I'm gonna
wake somebody up?
- Will you can it on the noise?
- When we get through with 'em,
you won't know them from
the rest of the junkyard.
- [Gina] The junkyard?
- Well, of course, where else
would you find the Cougars?
- Is that a radio in the car?
- Yeah.
- Take it out.
- All right.
- Hey, you want the carburetor?
- Yeah, we get about
10 bucks for it.
- Yeah, if I can get it out.
- Over there.
Hey, that car over
there, that's my car.
- Oh, man, how'd they get it?
- I sure don't know,
but it's my car.
I'd know it anywhere.
I built it myself.
- Yo.
- What?
- We get about 20
bucks for this.
- [Cougar] All right.
- That's my alternator
you got there.
- Who are you?
- That's my alternator
you're holding
in that grubby hand of yours.
- Yours?
- Yeah, mine.
- Nothing personal,
you can have it back.
- Hey, man, this is our
territory, you know?
Please, come on, man.
- Put 'em down, put 'em down.
- Here.
My car, there's nothing left.
They stripped it all, those
guys, they took everything.
(engine starts up)
- No, all we wanna
do is talk, right?
- We don't wanna talk,
all right talk to me?
- Talk about kicking around.
- All right, then, oh.
- [Voiceover] No, man.
- Brian.
Hey, what are you guys doing?
Brian, come 'ere, I
wanna talk to you.
Brian, can I talk to you?
- Yeah, what are you doing?
- Hey, come 'ere.
- Vicki, what are
you doing here?
- Bobby, come 'ere, come 'ere.
- [Gina] Peter.
- What are you doing?
- What are you doing, huh?
- I don't know, we're
just having some--
- I mean, come on,
you could get hurt.
And where would I be, huh?
- Peter.
- Look, you don't know
what they did to us.
- I don't care what
they did to you.
- What are you doing?
Why didn't you stop this?
You're all gonna get killed.
- No, we're not,
there's only two of them
and there's six of us.
- Oh, come on, Pete.
- Vicki, I don't think this
is any of your business.
- If you don't stop
this ridiculous fight,
you're gonna be riding in
your next car all by yourself.
- Okay.
- Hey, look, don't ever
let it happen again.
We're gonna let
you go this time,
but don't ever let it
happen again, all right.
- Brian, I don't know.
- You're lucky if you ask me.
- I mean it.
- Don't ever let it
happen again, ever.
(upbeat music)
- I didn't know it was his car.
- God, me neither.
(clanking)
- Great, we're
losing all the stuff.
- Oh, now we gotta stop.
- We can't stop.
- Hey, hey, man, what
do you want from us?
We didn't do anything to you.
- Okay, guys, what are
you gonna do about my car?
- We didn't know it
was your car, man.
- We didn't know nothing.
- All I know is my car
is now in bits and pieces
and when I think about
that I get very angry.
- We'll make it up to you.
- That's right, man,
we will, I swear.
- I don't see how except--
- Except what, just name it.
- We'll do it, man,
we'll do anything.
- Anything?
- Anything, I swear.
- Well, the only
thing you could do is
to put my car back together
the way you found it.
- We'll put your car together
like brand new, I swear.
He swears, too, right?
- I swear, I swear, man.
- You can start by picking
the stuff up off the road.
What do you wanna do?
Cause an accident or something?
- You didn't tell
me it was his car.
- I didn't know it
was his car, man.
- Is he still walking behind us?
- Yeah, he's still there, man.
- Just keep walking.
(cougars humming)
(lively music)
(whistle blowing)
- Our first game's
coming up on Saturday
and I wanna make
one thing clear,
you're not playing that game
or any other game,
you understand me?
- You mean, I'm not gonna--
- It annoys me like hell
that you'll even be sitting
there on that bench.
You're not playing.
- But Coach Walker,
I have really--
- You and your father
can take me to court,
I don't care, you're not getting
any further than that bench.
- I thought you said
I was a decent kicker.
- I'll admit that,
but that's only part
of what this game is about.
- Yeah, but I've been
practicing on weekends, too.
- I've been playing this
game for over 35 years.
I love it, the power,
the force of it,
it's a man's game,
one of the few left.
- Well, things are changing.
- Eventually, somewhere,
some of you will get in
and then the changes will start.
The equipment, the
rule, the style,
they'll still call it football,
but it won't be this game.
- You mean, after all
the stuff I've done,
I'm gonna be on the
bench all season?
- Either that or
quit altogether.
You're a fighter, I admire that,
but I'm a fighter,
too, young lady.
All right, let's go.
Come on, let's see it.
(whistle blowing)
(indistinct chatter)
- Brian, I really
wanna be in that game.
- Oh, come on, Vicki,
it's not such a big deal.
You know, it's only
a pre-season game.
- No, I deserve to be on
the team, I earned it.
- You know, maybe you get to
play in the next game, you know?
- No, he said that I can
play in any of the games
and that his word was final.
Oh, I don't know what to do.
- Well...
maybe I can talk to the coach.
You know, I am the
captain of the team
and you know, I have say.
- Yeah, but aren't you worried
about what the
guys are gonna say?
- The guys?
Hey, hey, hey, no,
listen, I'm the captain
and what I say counts
and I'm not worried about
what anybody thinks.
I'll talk to the coach.
(upbeat music)
(telephone rings)
Vicki?
- Brian, where are you?
Aren't you at the game?
- Yeah, yeah, I'm at the field.
It's gonna start in
about 10 minutes.
Listen, you still
wanna play on the team?
- Brian, are you kidding?
- No, I'm serious.
Listen Vic, here's your chance
to prove what you've
been trying to prove,
only you gotta give
something up in return.
- What do you mean
"give something?"
- I talked to the coach
and he agreed to let you play
in this pre-season game
against the Cougars,
but after this you gotta quit.
- Now, wait a minute,
I'm not just--
- He won't let you
play, otherwise.
Listen Vic, you could
be the first girl ever
to play in a high
school football team,
now is that worth
giving up something for?
- All right.
You tell that
bastard it's a deal.
Damn, I haven't got my car.
It's at the mechanic
and I'm here all alone.
- Look, Vicki, if it's
important enough to you,
you'll get here, you know?
I mean, you'll
walk or you'll run
or you'll hitchhike or whatever,
but you'll get here,
I'll see ya later.
(engine purring)
(indistinct chatter)
All right, baby, hop in.
We're gonna ride,
we're gonna ride.
- [Vicki] Excuse me,
it says road closed.
I don't have time
to take a detour.
- [Man] No, it's okay, it's
a shortcut, just relax.
- [Vicki] No, it's not all
right, I'm really in a hurry.
- It's okay, we got
time, we got time.
What's the hurry?
Let's park here a while.
- I really have to go.
I'm in a football game, I'm--
- In a football game?
- Yes.
- A specialty kicker?
- Yeah, thank you very--
- Oh, I got a specialty.
Stay here.
Stay here a while.
- Thank you so much
for the ride.
- Oh, come on, hey!
(indistinct chatter)
* And away we go
- Do you think that you
can go a little faster?
- Hey, what's what?
- Could you go a
little faster, please?
- Past it, oh yeah,
I'm past it now.
- No, could you go
a little bit faster?
I'm in a hurry, I'm
going to a football game.
- Oh, had one,
had one once, yes.
- I'm playing on
a football game.
I have to get to--
- You're playing
a football game?
I knew when Joe Namath
put on them panty hose
that was about the end of it.
Don't worry, you youth,
always in a hurry.
When you get to
be as old as I am,
why you'll find out that
life is a race to nowhere.
That's what you'll
find out, yeah, sure.
- Don't you know it's illegal
to hitchhike in this city?
- Yes, I do, but I'm on my way
to a very important
football game.
- You can watch school
football any time.
- No, I'm not gonna watch it,
I'm playing it, I'm
the specialty kicker.
- You're kidding?
- No, we're playing
against the Cougars.
- The Cougars, they're
a bunch of wise guys.
I run those guy in to one
thing or another all the time.
Get in the car, get in.
- Great, thanks.
(lively music)
(sirens blaring)
Thanks a lot.
- Good luck.
- Say, isn't that
a girl over there?
- There's a girl over there.
- So, let's win this game.
- What number she wearing?
- Let's get rolling.
- Yeah!
- [Voiceover] Hey,
coach, you get him out.
- Come on.
Yeah, woo, yeah, they did it.
(indistinct yelling)
I'm gonna send the girl in.
- Are you kidding, coach?
- This may shake her
up, embarrass her.
Mason, come up here.
Get in there and get that point.
You wanted to play,
now you're playing.
- All right, yeah, okay, yeah.
- I don't believe it.
- I got something for ya.
- Yeah, I got
something for you, too.
- I thought you said
you threw it away.
- I lied.
- You're something else.
