Teenage Girl: First Wheels (2020) - full transcript
Alex has just turned sixteen and she desperately wants to have a cool car of her own. She envies her older brother Bart's recent graduation present from their parents, a classic candy apple red 1966 convertible Mustang. Alex envisions it as the perfect car to help raise her social status from band geek to cool girl in hopes of capturing the attention of her dream boy Randy. When her parents leave town to take her brother on a college admission trip, Alex and her best friend Claire decide to take the Mustang on a wild weekend joyride that leads the two girls on a crazy life changing adventure. Can they get through the weekend and return her brother's car unscathed before Alex's parents return?
(gentle music)
(upbeat music)
- The 1966 Ford
Mustang convertible.
Candy apple red, 289 motor
with an automatic transmission,
one of the most sought after
classic cars of all time.
The Mustang came out
with this body style
in 1964 and a half,
and it's called a 64 and a half
because they didn't
start releasing it
until the middle of the year.
Then they made it for two
more years, until 1967
when it started to look
more like a hot rod.
My parents have always
known that I've wanted
a classic 66 Mustang.
It's my dream, my passion,
the car that I've always
dreamt about owning.
This is like one of the
cars you see in the movies.
- Wow.
- Come on, let's sit in it.
(upbeat music)
(car door opens)
(upbeat music)
(car door closes)
- Look at the window mechanisms.
You have to roll it
up with your hand
because it's not electric.
- Do you know how
cool this is gonna be,
when we take this
to school on Monday?
The last day of school, and we
are going to go out in style.
- Are you kidding me?
We're gonna be the
coolest girls in school.
- I can't believe my
parents bought this for me.
I mean, this is like
a dream come true.
Now, we don't have to take the
bus to band practice anymore.
- Guys might actually
notice us with this car.
(upbeat music)
- Okay, get ready for
this, it's a big surprise.
Don't look, don't look,
don't look, and...
Alex.
What the hell are you
doing in this car?
Out.
Out now, get out.
What are you doing?
This is not your car.
- Is this is really your car?
- This is really your car.
Okay, so sorry about this.
It really wasn't supposed
to go down like this.
You, young lady, have no right
to be sitting in his car.
He worked for it.
You did not work for it.
You are still in school.
And you've gotta get to
music class, do you not?
Yeah, yeah.
- Thanks mom and dad.
- We're so proud of you, son.
- You deserve it,
you worked for it
and you earned every bit of it.
And that's the whole point.
You're gonna get to
roll up as a freshman
in this beautiful bomb ass
candy apple red Mustang,
which I wish that I had.
Believe me, I wish I
had when I was your age.
- But you didn't,
you had a Volkswagen.
But that's the reason
why I married you.
- You got that right dear.
And that's why, you're so cute.
I love you. I love you.
But you young lady, you
have got some work to do.
Do you understand?
This is how it works, it's
a little quid pro quo, okay?
So you do the work,
you get good grades,
and then you get a
bonus round, you see?
So now let's stop
talking about all this
and get your butt to class
because you guys are both
late for band practice.
So hip hop, hip hop,
let's go, come on.
Band practice, we
gotta get going.
You guys in the car.
Gotta get down to the
state inspection session
and you guys have got
to get outta here.
Go, go, go, go, go.
Girls, enjoy the bus.
(car door closes)
(car engine revving)
(upbeat music)
I drove here, by the way too,
so I know what I'm doing.
(upbeat music)
- I'm gonna have a car like
that one day, you wait.
- Then maybe we could be
cool for once in our lives.
- Come on, let's go
grab our backpacks
and get to band practice.
(upbeat music)
Good morning, Mr. Peterson.
- Morning.
- Thank you for the ride,
we'd be walking without you.
- Anytime.
(upbeat music)
- I'm trying out for drum major.
- Really?
You don't get enough music
from playing your trombone?
And now you wanna conduct it?
Let's not forget about the
endless band tapes you watch.
- It's a really good
position for me.
- I think I'm gonna try
out for section leader.
- Hey Claire.
I heard you were trying out
for drum major this year.
- Maybe.
- Hey, don't worry,
your gonna do fine.
I'll practice with
you over the summer
before I go off to college.
That way the seniors
don't beat you out.
- Thanks, Larry.
- Hey, don't worry.
Being in the band is like
being in a family, right Alex?
- Right.
- And family sticks together
no matter how hard it gets.
(upbeat music)
- I wish all guys would
talk to me like that,
outside of the band I mean.
(upbeat music)
(bus engine revving)
(upbeat music)
(whistle blowing)
(upbeat music)
(wind whooshing)
(upbeat music)
(trombone playing)
Oh, so what are your
parents doing this weekend?
- They're taking my brother
to see his new college.
- Where's that?
- College Station.
They're taking him to get
acquainted with the school
and then they're
looking at dorms.
(gentle music)
- [Coach] Drive here.
- Hey, check it out.
Randy's checking you out.
(whistle blows)
(gentle music)
- Hey Randy!
- Ruby!
(gentle music)
- What are you two
band geeks looking at?
- We were watching
the football practice.
- You sure you weren't
looking at my man, Randy?
- No, we were waiting
for the football team
to clear the field so we
could practice our band steps.
That's what band kids do.
- You think you're real
cool, huh, band geek?
(gentle music)
Bet your mother doesn't
know that you two
still play with Barbie's.
(mean girls laughing)
- Don't make mom
jokes around Claire.
- Why not band geek?
- Because her mom
isn't around anymore.
- I'm a momma's girl,
I'm a momma's girl.
I'm a momma's girl.
(mean girls laugh)
- Leave us alone, Ruby.
- Or else what?
(team chattering)
(gentle music)
(hand pushing)
(girls falling)
(mean girls laugh)
- Losers.
- Band nerds.
Band nerds.
- I'm tired of getting picked
on by those three girls.
- What do you expect?
We're dorks and we
will always be dorks.
- One day, I'm gonna
stand up to Ruby,
drive the coolest car in school
and ask Randy out on a date.
- Keep dreaming.
Besides, when do girls
ask boys out on dates?
- I'm gonna change that.
Come on, let's go
to driver's ed.
(bell ringing)
- You will get a
ticket if you do not
turn off your signal light.
- Thanks Mr. Gleason.
(books dropping)
(gentle music)
Thanks.
- This is a classroom,
not a romantic adventure.
Ladies, take your seats.
(metal clanking)
As I was saying, tomorrow
is your final examination.
It best behooves you to
remember what was taught
in this class if you wish
to pass that examination.
Which begs the question,
at the end of the day,
who will be a winner
and who will be a loser?
Since tomorrow is the
final examination.
Today will consist
of an oral pop quiz.
First question.
When is it improper to make
a right turn on a red light?
- Hi, sweetie.
- Mom, tomorrow's my big day.
- I know my little one's
finally taking her driving test.
- I can't wait to
get my license.
(phone rings)
(water splashing)
Oh, I have to take this.
- Guess what?
- What?
- Randy and Zach are
gonna be hanging out
at the Pig Stand tonight.
- How do you know?
- Well, I overheard them talking
on my way to the nurse's
office for my checkup.
- You know there's nothing
wrong with you, right?
Your dad is just paranoid.
- I know, but--
- Your mom passing
away has nothing to do
with what you're feeling.
Cancer isn't something
you can catch,
it just happens to people.
- Yeah, I know.
- I'm sorry, I didn't mean
to hurt your feelings.
I was out of line
for saying that.
- That's okay.
- I'll meet you at the
Pig Stand in an hour?
- [Claire] Yeah, I'll
see you later, bye.
(gentle music)
(car engine revving)
(gentle music)
(footsteps thudding)
(gentle music)
(door opens)
(footsteps thudding)
(gentle music)
You hear that?
- It's my favorite
song, Clair de Lune.
(gentle music)
- Hey dude, we don't wanna
look like band dorks,
let's go inside.
(door opens)
(crowd chattering)
(gentle music)
- I really screwed up
during band practice today.
- Why, what happened?
- Well, nothing really,
but Mr. Robinson
just got really mad at me.
- Was it hot?
You don't do well under heat.
- Yeah, I know, but it really
isn't an excuse, you know?
- Right.
- Do you see that?
- Yes, I do.
- Wouldn't it be cool
if you got a chance
to invite this guys to a party?
- I could show
them my band tapes.
- No, I mean real music, like
what other people listen to.
- I listen to real music.
- I mean what cool
people listen to.
- Oh.
- Just one time, done.
- Y'all going to
that game next week?
We're gonna go against
Church House this year
and we're gonna beat
'em with our new
star quarterback, Randy.
(gentle music)
(boys laughing)
- I hope you are ready for this.
I don't want a
driver on the road
who cannot operate a
motor vehicle properly.
- Yes, sir.
(car engine revving)
- You know the procedure is,
you take your foot off the gas,
you put it on the brake,
you put the car in gear,
you put your foot on
the gas, and we go.
- Oh yeah, I was
only testing you.
- Yeah, right.
(car engine revving)
- Well, well, well, if it isn't
little Alex from band class.
- Oh no.
- The champion of
the racing squad
versus the band geek and our
little driver's, ed buddy.
Victory, victory it is
when we kick your butt.
(dramatic music)
(car engine revving)
(dramatic music)
(car engine revving)
- Think you can beat me?
- Let's go.
- Come on band loser,
we're gonna take you down.
- Don't even think about it,
if you wish to pass
this examination.
- Band nerds
- Later loser.
(tires squealing)
See ya.
(car engine revving)
(upbeat music)
- Do you think you
passed the test?
- I hope so.
I prayed and studied
for it all night long.
- I'll keep my fingers
crossed for you.
(crowd laughing)
(gentle music)
- Did you see that?
I did it, I passed.
- Congratulations.
Now we can go places.
(gentle music)
- Wow.
Look at Zach.
He looks so hot.
- Look at Randy.
He's so cute.
- I wish we just had one
chance to talk to those guys.
(crowd chattering)
- Maybe we do.
Now that I got my license,
maybe we have that chance.
I'm gonna ask Randy
out on a date.
(gentle music)
Oh.
- No way, not unless
you wanna get beaten up
by our favorite bully friend.
- We'll see.
- I love my family.
I think about how lucky I
am when I start comparing
my family to every
other family out there.
And you know, you see it.
You see it when you go to the
big, you know, class reunions
and you see the people
that are your own age
and what they've done
with their families.
And then I go and
I visit your school
and I watch other parents.
I think we've done very well
with our children, don't you?
- Yes, dear.
- So since I passed
my driver's test,
do you guys think
you can buy me a car
like you did for Bart?
- The answer is you
will have a car,
but your first car is gonna
be the same as his first car.
(gentle music)
- You're kidding, right?
The van?
- Yeah. Why?
- It's been parked
in the garage,
it probably doesn't even work.
- Yes it does.
- I will look like a
complete dork in the van.
- You already look like
an incomplete dork.
- Shut up.
- Be nice, be nice.
Listen, so Bart, why
don't you go ahead
and get your stuff
and grab everything.
Get everything together, and
wait put your book money away
because you're not gonna
need to bring it with you.
I've decided to pay for
everything this weekend.
I'd rather that
you hold onto it.
- So what about me?
- You are going
to be staying here
because you can't afford
to miss drum line practice
on Saturday morning.
- I'm staying here
all by myself?
- Not by yourself, I've
made all the arrangements.
I already went ahead and
I called Claire's dad
and I set everything up
and he's totally fine with her
coming over for the weekend.
So you're gonna spend a nice,
lovely weekend with Claire
and you guys, I'm sure
will have a great time.
All I ask is that
you're responsible
and you don't do
anything I wouldn't do.
Speaking of which, we need
to start getting everything
out to the SUV so that we can
be packed and ready to go.
- So you are not
taking the Mustang?
- No, no.
I know exactly how your
mind's working right now.
Don't get any big ideas.
I'm telling you the Mustang
stays where it is, okay?
- Okay.
(upbeat music)
I can't believe my parents
bought my brother a cool Mustang
and I got stuck
with his old van.
- Well, at least you have a car.
- Well, other kids don't
get stuck with this problem.
How am I supposed
to get a boyfriend?
My first wheels have to be cool.
(upbeat music)
- Hey look.
- Why didn't you
come over last night?
Are you seeing someone else?
You better not.
- What's going on with you?
I'm at practice.
Are you really doing
this right now?
- [Ruby] You haven't been
spending time with me.
- That girl's mean.
- [Ruby] It's always
- [Ruby] about the boys.
- Tell me about it.
- [Randy] Can you just,
- [Ruby] it's about me.
- One day we're gonna
kick that girl's butt.
- Can you just gimme some space?
- Space?
You're not gonna get any space.
- Now's your chance, go.
Go.
- You're not talking.
- What do you expect me to do?
- Don't give me an attitude.
- God, dude, just go away.
- No.
- Just leave.
- You know what, fine.
- They're about to yell at me.
- You know what--
- Excuse me.
- What do you want band geek?
What do you think you're
doing in my business?
- I think you should
stop yelling at Randy.
(suspenseful music)
- I don't like to be
touched band geek.
But I'll let it
slide just this once.
If I catch you talking
or even looking
at my boyfriend, Randy,
me and two my friends here,
we're gonna rearrange your face.
And same goes for your
little band friend too.
- Hey, break it up.
You three my office, now.
- [Crowd] Ooh.
- Now.
- You better watch your
back, I'm watching you.
(girls laughing)
(gentle music)
- [Claire] Ahhh,
that was intense.
- We better watch it because
Ruby is gonna kick our butts.
- I don't care.
I tried my best to
get Randy's attention
and I know he noticed me today.
- Yes you did.
And did you see
Zach's cute face?
- Settle down, Claire.
If we're gonna get boys
to notice us at school,
we need a car.
- You're not thinking what
I think you're thinking.
- We're gonna take my
brother's 1966 Ford Mustang
to the Pig Stand tonight.
- Why, you're crazy, Alex.
- My parents are 300 miles away.
Taking my brother to see
his new college dorm room.
Do I look crazy?
(gentle music)
They'll never find out.
- This is not a good idea.
But if I get to see
Zach's cute face again,
then maybe it'll be good.
- I know where my
brother left his keys.

- Wait, maybe, do you think
we could return the car
and not get in trouble?
- Nothing bad is gonna happen.
- Are you sure?

Come on, it's getting late.
Let's stop by the Pig Stand.
(upbeat music)
(car engine revving)
(car door opens)
(car door closes)
(upbeat music)
- Where'd y'all get
that cool car from?
- Oh, I won it in a
card game in Las Vegas.
- Really?
That's so hot.
(girls giggling)
- Hey Alex, I heard you
stepped it up to Ruby
and her bully friends.
- Something like that.
(upbeat music)
(girls giggling)
(upbeat music)
Can you believe that
guy just called me hot?
- Well, he said,
"That's so hot."
But.
- Either way, people are
paying attention to us
in this car.
- The car can change your life.
- Though I was thinking
of maybe throwing
a house party tomorrow night.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- No, no way.
It's just no one's
gonna show up to a party
at your house and not
cool people anyway.
- Well, you can invite the band
kids and I'll invite Randy.
- Please tell me you're
gonna invite Zach too.
(upbeat music)
- Randy.
- Hi.
- Hi.
How are you?
- I mean, it's Friday, so,
pretty good.
- Yeah, me too.
I mean, since it's
Friday, I mean.
- So I heard you got a new car,
candy apple red
Mustang convertible.
- Yeah, I just got it.
It's parked outside.
- You know that's really cool.
- Do you and your
friends wanna go
to a house party tomorrow night?
- Who's party?
- Mine.
- You're doing it.
- As long as you're
picking me up
in that sweet new car of yours.
- Yeah, of course.
- Do you know where
I live though?
- Everyone knows where you live.
I'll see you at 7:30.
- Yeah. Cool.
- I thought I told
you not to talk
to my boyfriend band geek!
You know I'm getting
pretty sick and tired
of seeing you walk around school
thinking you're
some kind of hero.
- I don't think that.
- Hey, Ruby.
(water splashing)
- [Mean Girls] Oh.
(upbeat music)
- Get off me, get those girls.
(upbeat music)
(car door closes)
(car engine revving)
(upbeat music)
(tires screeching)
- Oh.
What a babe.
- Did you see Ruby's face
when I threw water at her?
- She was so pissed, I can't
believe we just did that.
(car engine revving)
(upbeat music)
(tires screeching)
(car engine revving)
(upbeat music)
- Don't look now but
Ruby's on our tail.
(tires screeching)
- Oh man, we have to lose them.
(car engine revving)
- You can't escape me.
(car engine revving)
I'm gonna get you band geeks.
(car engine revving)
- Look out.
(tires screeching)
- What the hell?
- You, what the hell damn kids?
- Get out of the way old man.
- What the heck?
- Move.
- Damn it.
- Where'd she even get
that 1966 Ford Mustang?
- I don't know.
- Well, we're gonna find out.
- Where did you learn
how to drive like that?
- I used to play R.C.
Pro-Am with my brother
when we were kids.
I guess I just remember
the tricks to racing.
(Claire squealing)
- I've never felt so free.
- We just pumped the
baddest girls in school.
They're probably gonna
steal my lunch money
for the next two years.
- It's okay, it was worth it.
(Claire chuckles)
- Yeah, you're right.
Let's go home.
(car engine revving)
(gentle music)
- Ruby was so pissed today.
- Yeah, it was so funny
to see her get so angry
and there was nothing
she could do about it.
- We took off like lightning
and they couldn't even catch us.
- Can I tell you something?
- Sure, you can
tell me anything.
- I just wanted to let you know
that I think of you
like a big sister.
(gentle music)
- Thanks, Claire.
- It's just, I don't
really have a big sister
and after my mom passed away,
it's just me and my
brother and my dad.
And my dad's always working, so.
- Well, that's what parents do.
They work hard to protect us
and here we are screwing around.
(both chuckle)
(gentle music)
- I just wish that my mom could
see me be in marching band,
especially if I get drum major.
I mean, who knows?
Maybe we could be
in UIL this year.
(gentle music)
- Your mom is watching
you from heaven.
I know that.
(gentle music)
- Do you think maybe I could
have a chance with Zach?
I mean maybe he might like me.
- I hope so.
We're both trying to get
the hottest guys in school.
(gentle music)
(alarm beeping)
(gentle music)
(toothbrush brushing)
Do you want some coffee?
- Sure.
- Oh, do you want creamer?
- No, thank you.
(cup thudding)
- Okay, so the plan is,
I need to wash the car
and then we need to
clean up this house
and find some alcoholic
beverages for tonight.
- Do you know where
you're gonna wear tonight?
- I was thinking my overalls.
- No, no, not about it.
(both laugh)
(hose spraying)
(metal clanking)
(water splashing)
(upbeat music)
I can't believe you skipped out
on drum line practice today.
We've got that big
competition coming up
and I've got lessons
for sectionals.
- Relax Claire, we have a candy
apple red, 1966 Ford Mustang
and we only have
it until tomorrow.
So we have to drive this
baby as much as we can
so we can enjoy it tonight.
- I guess you're right.
- Besides, I'm picking
up Randy tonight
and he's going out with me.
Me.
- I guess I will go
pick up the house
while you take him out.
- Oh, don't start pulling
up my mom's party stuff.
- [Claire] I won't.
- That's stuff for kids parties.
Start calling our
friends and see who wants
to hang out for the party.
- We don't have any friends.
- Well just invite
everyone you can think of.
Invite the band
kids if you have to.
Just invite whoever you can
so it makes it look
like we're not losers.
Oh, and we need beer.
(coins jingling)
- Is that all?
- Well, my mom left me $20.
- I guess we're just
gonna have to buy a bunch
of cheap 12 packs.
(coins jingling)
- Let's go to the
convenience store.
(gentle music)
Are the tires low?
- I don't know,
never owned a car.
- Do you think they're
gonna let me get beer?
- I don't know, but you can try.
- Okay, you wait here.
I'm gonna go try inside.
(upbeat music)
(car engine revving)
(upbeat music)
- All right girls, it's
time to look pretty.
- Excuse me, sir, do you
mind if I use your restroom?
- Sure, it's over that way.
(upbeat music)
- Oh, sorry.
(upbeat music)
- What do you think of
our little band geek Alex
throwing a party tonight?
- I'll tell you
what we're gonna do.
We're gonna crash her
little band party tonight.
(girls laughing)
- Oh no.
(girls laughing)
- Let's go.
Let's see if Kelly
scored the beer.
(tissue rustling)
(car door opens)
Atta girl Kelly.
(upbeat music)
(car door closes)
(door opens)
(upbeat music)
(tires screeching)
(upbeat music)
- Good afternoon, officer.
Is there something
I can help you with?
- As a matter of fact, there is,
I got a call about a little girl
asking adults to
buy alcohol for her.
- I don't know what
you're talking about.
I just went inside
to use the restroom
and then these girls
came into the bathroom
and they scared me--
- Do you have a driver's
license, young lady?
- Yes. Yes I do.
- Well, may I see it?
(footsteps thudding)
(birds chirping)
- I don't have it.
- Of course you don't.
This is the type of behavior
that can lead you
to more trouble.
I was a kid like you once too,
and you don't seem like bad kids
and you haven't been
arrested, right?
- No sir.
- Well, unfortunately I can't
let you drive this vehicle
without a driver's license.
So I've decided to
take it to the pound.
- But officer.
- You want to get it back?
Just show us your
driver's license
and pay the fee for the towing.
- All right, officer.
I admit we broke the
law and we are so sorry.
It's my fault.
I forgot Alex's purse at home
and it won't ever happen again.
However, we need this car so
that my silly friend over
there can take the boy
of her dreams out on a date.
(upbeat music)
- I guess we walk.
(upbeat music)
(tires squealing)
- Hey losers!
- Are you thirsty?
(water splashing)
- Stay away from my man, Randy!
(tires squealing)
(upbeat music)
- [News Anchor]
Congratulations--
- So what are we gonna do now?
- [News Anchor] Students.
Now, come on down to.
Fast--
- Let me think.
- [News Anchor] Half price
college books where today.
- I don't know.
- [News Anchor]
And maybe tomorrow.
- Well at least we
found your purse.
- Yeah.
- What are you waiting for?
You snooze, you lose.
Hop in your jalopy,
step on the gas
and get on down here
to Fast Draw McGraw's,
half price college books.
Yeah, you, I'm talking to you.
- Half priced books.
My brother's piggy bank.
(suspenseful music)
I've got the solution
to my problem.
Remember, you're doing
this to get Bart's car
out of the police pound.
(upbeat music)
- Wooo
(throat clearing)
Alex.
- Yeah, I'm here
to pick up my car.
(upbeat music)
Did you contact anyone
about the party?
- Yeah, I've got a few
people from band coming over
and some of my
brother's friends.
- Wait, your brother's coming?
- I told him we'd
give him 50 bucks
if he got his alcohol
with his fake ID.
- And he agreed.
- Yes.
- Great.
Let's do that, we're
running out of time.
(upbeat music)
(shower running)
- Are you sure we
should have this party?
- We have to have this party.
- Then what if Ruby
and her friend show up?
- Look, you've always
wanted to be cool, right?
Well, now is your chance.
And you're the one
who's always complaining
about not being
in the cool crew.
- Okay. But.
- Okay, tonight is the night,
I'm picking up the
hottest guy in school
with the coolest
1966 Ford Mustang.
When is this ever
going to happen again?
Let's live a little
bit, besides you have
to help me make
this night special.
- Okay, everything's
gonna be fine.
- Talk to you when you
get out of the shower.
(shower curtain ruffling)
(gentle music)
(spectacles clanking)
(gentle music)
(metal clanking)
(bottle spraying)
(gentle music)
- Are you going to be
wearing any makeup?
- Yeah, of course.
- I don't really know
how to do makeup.
So do you think maybe
you could help me out?
- Of course I can.
- Be careful.
- I'm not gonna hurt your eye.
Here, close your eye,
it'll I'll make it easier
for me to put it on.
- Okay?
- I like a more natural look.
The girls at school like
to be made up like clowns,
but I think it's better
when it's simple.
- How do you know
when it's right?
- Well, I like people to think
that I'm not actually
wearing makeup
so they think I
have natural beauty.
(gentle music)
- Okay, now look up.
This will make your eyelashes
look longer and darker.
(Alex chuckles)
- My mother wasn't around to
teach me this sort of thing,
so I mainly learned
from watching TV.
- I think you do a great job.
I'm just adding a few touch ups.
(gentle music)
- Thank you for being my friend.
I don't have many and well,
you always stick around
through the hard times.
- Well, that's what
friends are for.
They get you through everything.
My grandma said that
friends come and go,
but true friends will
stick with you in the end.
- Oh, that is my brother.
Can I take the money from
your brother's piggy bank?
- Mhm.
- Okay.
(car honking)
(upbeat music)
(car door closes)
(upbeat music)
- Hello brother.
- Here you go.
- Here's your money.
- I'm only doing this
so that you and Alex
can try to be cool for once.
Don't get into trouble.
Love you. Bye.
- Bye.
Thanks for the beer.
(footsteps thudding)
- What do you think?
- You look good.
Randy's gonna be
really impressed.
- Thanks Claire.
- I'm gonna take Randy to get
something to eat really quick
and then I'll be back.
- Take care of my house.
- See you later.
(upbeat music)
(car engine revving)
(upbeat music)
(car engine revving)
(upbeat music)
(car door closes)
(footsteps thudding)
- Right on time.
(footsteps thudding)
(door knocking)
(upbeat music)
(door opens)
- Can I help you young lady?
- I'm here to pick up
Randy for our date.
- Wait don't I know you?
- I live right down the street.
- Yeah, but you're the drum
line captain, aren't you?
- Kind of.
- I knew I remembered you.
Fred, come here for a second.
(upbeat music)
(footsteps thudding)
You remember Bonnie's
little daughter?
- Oh yes.
You've grown up.
- She sure has, hasn't she?
- Hey, is that your
candy apple red,
1966 Ford Mustang Convertible.
- Mm.
- I always wanted one of those.
- It's gorgeous.
- Alex. Hey.
I see you've met my parents.
- Yeah, they're both very nice.
- Mom, we're gonna
get outta here.
- You all have a
good time, okay?
- And take care of that Mustang.
- Fred.
- I mean, take care
of my son, Randy.
- Will you stop it?
He's a grown man, he
can handle himself.
(upbeat music)
(car door closes)
(car engine revving)
(upbeat music)
(car door opens)
(car door closes)
- I thought we were
gonna your house party.
- Well, we are, but I thought
we should grab
something to eat first.
- Okay, I told Zach and
Kurt to meet us there,
so I guess I'll just tell
him I'll be a little late.
(gentle music)
What is this?
- Sushi, ever have it before?
- Like once.
- I thought you
were the type of guy
who'd know of the
different types of sushi.
- No, it's actually
a real mystery to me.
- So how did your friends react
when you told them you were
going out with me tonight?
- I really don't care
what my friends think.
Kind of used to
doing my own thing.
- How do you feel about going
out with a band girl like me?
- It's all right, I guess.
I mean, you're at
every football game
and you're there playing
cadences to the football team.
- So you listen to
the songs we play?
- Yeah, of course.
I mean, how else am I supposed
to get hyped for the game?
- I don't know, I
just, I figured you
didn't know I existed.
- Well, I do.
And you're like really
good at the drums too.
- Thank you.
I just don't like telling
people I play in the band
because I don't like
to get picked on.
- You mean Ruby?
Well, we're not really
together anymore.
I probably shouldn't have
been going out with her
in the first place.
I started to realize
she's just a bully
and I'm just now seeing that.
We've been together
since like sophomore year
and things were good
at first, she was nice,
but she's just gotten
more and more aggressive
and I'm just now starting
to open up my eyes
and see how she treats people.
(gentle music)
- Can I tell you something?
I admire your adult decision
to break up with Ruby.
You're the hottest guy in
school and you don't deserve
to be treated like that.
(crowd chattering)
Well, thank you for coming
out with me tonight.
The girls in the band
will never believe
that we're out on a date.
(upbeat music)
(car engine revving)
(car door opens)
(upbeat music)
(car door closes)
This isn't much of a party,
I'm not really that cool.
But you go inside,
I'll meet you in there.
I'll put the car
cover over the car.
- Cool. I'll see you in there.
(keys jingling)
- This is beer pong. Shall we?
(upbeat music)
(crowd chattering)
(upbeat music)
- Hey, Randy,
Zach and Kurt are over there
waiting for you at the table.
And don't mind any
of the band kids.
They just haven't seen anyone
as attractive as you.
- Right.
Thanks.
- Zach, what's up man?
- Randy, you're
finally here, bud.
This is a stupid
sophomore party,
but at least they
have cold beer.
(upbeat music)
(door closes)
(crowd chattering)
(upbeat music)
- I see Claire got you a beer.
- Yeah.
Thanks Claire.
- So Claire's a great host.
She's gonna be drum
major next year,
which means I get to have
her play the fight song
for me whenever I want.
- Drum major, I love a woman
who can take charge of a band.
Tell me more about it.
(upbeat music)
- Can I show you
something in my room?
- Yeah. Let's go.
(upbeat music)
(crowd chattering)
(car engine revving)
- Are you sure this
is the right address?
- It is.
I bet that 1966 Mustang is under
that car cover over
there in the driveway.
You girls ready?
- Oh, you know it, Ruby.
(all laugh)
- All right, we're gonna
go into the party calmly
then we're gonna trash it.
(all laugh)
All right, let's
go scoop this out.
(car door opens)
(car door closes)
(girls giggling)
(upbeat music)
- Take this.
Hey everyone, we
brought the goods.
- The party has just begun.
- Give me that.
- Ew, what is this nonsense?
- Someone turn that off.
- Does anyone know where
Alex and Claire are?
♪ So nothing left of you ♪
♪ Nothing for you ♪
(door opens)
- So, this is your room huh?
- Yeah.
Sorry, it's a little messy.
I didn't have time to clean
it, it was a long day.
- It's fine.
Did did you draw that?
(gentle music)
- Yeah, I did it when I
was in love with this boy
in the sixth grade.
(gentle music)
♪ Funny how things change ♪
♪ Time will never move ♪
- Oh, sorry.
Didn't mean to bother you two.
I thought the room was empty.
- That's okay, you can
use the room next door.
Just don't touch any
of my brother's stuff.
- Thanks Alex, we promise
not to make a mess.
All right, let's go
smoke in this room.
- So where were we?
- [Claire] Hey, I
need to talk to you.
- One second.
(door opens)
Not now, quit bugging me.
- What are you talking about?
- What's so important that
you have to talk about?
- Well, I was just
gonna tell you
that we've ran out of beer.
- Can you find
something else to do,
I'm in the middle of something.
Get lost.
(gentle music)
I'm sorry.
- It's good.
(crowd chattering)
(footsteps thudding)
- Get lost losers.
Go.
(mean girls giggle)
(crowd chattering)
Well, at least we know
her car's still here.
- So what do you
wanna do with it?
- Let's play some music.
(mean girl chuckles)
(upbeat music)
(crowd chattering)
(mean girls laugh)
(classical music)
(mean girls giggling)
- Oh, stop.
(gentle music)
- Or else what?
- Why are you guys doing this?
- Shut up band geek, you
can go back to your room
and play your dumb tuba.
- It's a trombone.
(Claire falling)
(bottles clanking)
- [Ruby] Wanna be.
(mean girls laugh)
Dork.
(mean girls laughing)
- Aw.
(upbeat music)
- Hey, have you seen Claire?
- Last time I saw her she
was throwing out the trash,
but that was like
30 minutes ago.
- Okay, thanks.
Hey guys, listen up.
Have any you seen Claire?
- Nope.
- Okay, well I wanted to show
you something really special.
My new car.
I won it in Las Vegas because
I'm a really great card player.
- Yeah, tell us about it.
- Who wants to see it?
(upbeat music)
(footsteps thudding)
(crickets chirping)
Okay, everyone, just
like I promised,
the candy apple red, 1966
Ford Mustang convertible.
(crickets chirping)
(cover ruffling)
- [Crowd] Oh.
(crickets chirping)
- Claire?
What happened to you?
- Little Alex.
This has been one hell
of a night, hasn't it?
Look at your friend over there.
All tied up like the
band geek she is.
- Hmm.
- Aww.
- Why don't you tell all
your band friends here
how you really got this car?
You're just a fake Alex,
your little friend told
me the whole story.
How you never won
a bet in Vegas.
Matter of fact, you
never even been to Vegas.
And as for this,
candy, apple red, 1966
Ford Mustang convertible.
Well, that's not yours either.
Why don't you tell your band
friends how you really got it
and you stole it from
your older brother.
- [Crowd] Oh,
- You've been driving
around in a stolen vehicle
for the past few days.
You are nothing
but a band loser.
Just like the rest of them.
(cricket chirping)
Have a good night band loser.
(footsteps thudding)
- What the hell, Alex?
You kicked me out of the room
and then these girls
beat me up and tied me up
and threw me in this car.
I thought you had my back.
- We gotta go, Randy.
We don't need to be
around this type of drama.
We already got our own.
- I'm gonna go ahead
and go with the guys.
They were talking about
finishing the night
at the Pig Stand, so.
(crickets chirping)
(footsteps thudding)
(crickets chirping)
- I am so so sorry Claire.
(gentle music)
- When I needed you most,
you were off trying
to hook up with Randy.
(gentle music)
(crickets chirping)
Help me.
(car door opens)
(gentle music)
(car door closes)
- Please forgive me, I just
wanted to be cool for once.
- And you were.
- I just wanted
Randy to notice me.
- Well at least you got
to take him out to dinner.
- Yeah, but just
like everything else,
it doesn't last.
One day, none of
this will matter.
We'll grow up and
we'll go to college.
And this will just be
a memory in my life.
A time in my life when I
just wanted to feel real,
but I don't know if I
should be proud or upset.
I'm just a stupid band nerd,
trying to beat the odds.
For once in my life,
I just wanted to be the girl
that boys look at and think,
"Wow, she's got
everything together."
So I'm sorry if I make mistakes,
but I'm just trying to fit in.
(gentle music)
(crickets chirping)
(footsteps thudding)
(gentle music)
(crickets chirping)
(gentle music)
(car door opens)
(car door closes)
(crickets chirping)
(gentle music)
I really ruined it.
(tap running)
(crickets chirping)
All I wanted, was
to have a good time
with my best friend
in the whole world.
I just wanted to show
her that she could
have a good time for once.
I ruined my chance with Randy.
I ruined my brother's car
and whatever
reputation I had left.
And now, my best friend in
the whole world is mad at me
and there's nothing
I can do about it.
(gentle music)
(Claire sobs)
(gentle music)
(Claire sobs)
(gentle music)
(Claire sobs)
(gentle music)
(Alex exhales)
(gentle music)
(tap running)
(gentle music)
(crickets chirping)
(gentle music)
- Alex.
(crickets chirping)
We can fix this problem
before your parents get home.
(crickets chirping)
- You know what?
You're right.
(car door opens)
(car door closes)
I'm tired of Ruby bullying us.
I'm not gonna let
her bully me anymore
and I'm not gonna let
her bully you either.
Just like Mr. Gleason said,
"Who are we going to be
at the end of the day?
"A winner or a loser?"
If we don't make a stand,
we're never gonna make a stand.
Let's make this one count.
I'm not gonna let
you leave as a dork.
Let's go get Ruby
and her friends
and let's make this
a night to remember.
Ruby and her two
bully friends messed
with the wrong band geeks.
(upbeat music)
(mean girls laugh)
Hey are you okay?
- Yes, I'm fine.
I just tripped on my shoelace.
- Okay, let's go.
(footsteps thudding)
- Look who decided to show up?
What you band dorks
didn't get enough earlier?
Or do we need to kick
your butts again?
- Ruby.
(gentle music)
- You're going down band geek.
- You think you can pick on me?
- You've gone on my last nerve
since you got into my business.
And now I'm gonna
knock your teeth out.
- What did I do that
was so bad to you?
Just like all the other kids
at school that you pick on.
I'm not the one.
And Claire doesn't deserve
to be picked on like that.
You know, all the mom jokes
you make all the time?
Well, yeah, she
doesn't have a mom.
And maybe you do, but
not everyone can go home
to their mom every night.
You know something, I
tried to be cool for once
I took my brother's car
without his permission.
And for what?
So I can maybe impress
the hottest guy at school.
It's not easy being a band geek.
You have to play songs
for the football team,
play cadences for
the cheerleaders,
and show up to band
practice all the time.
For once in my life I wanted
to be cool just like you.
And you know what?
You are not cool.
And I never wanna end up like
you and your two bully friends
because I like who I am.
And I'm going to kick your ass
because I'm tired of
being pushed around.
- I'm gonna rearrange
your face band geek.
- Good luck trying.
- You are not gonna
bully me anymore.
- Me neither.
(suspenseful music)
- Ruby, can we
just talk this out?
Go inside?
(dramatic music)
(hand punching)
- [Crowd] Oh.
(crowd chattering)
(suspenseful music)
(hand punching)
(stick dropping)
(Alex falling)
- [Crowd] Oh.
- Come on loser.
(Ruby falling)
(footsteps thudding)
- [Crowd] Fight, fight, fight.
(hand punching)
(mean girl laughs)
- [Ruby] Get off me.
(trombone case swinging)
(Alex falling)
- Want some more?
- Let go.
- Give me that.
- You think you can beat me?
Well, you can't.
You can lie about your car
and try to steal my boyfriend.
But you can't fool the
rest of the school.
What'd you think you were
gonna get away with this lie?
You're nothing but a band geek.
And that's what
you will always be.
(dramatic music)
Who wants to go up against me?
(suspenseful music)
- [Crowd Member] What?
(trombone case swinging)
(Claire falling)
- Nobody?
- Hey Ruby, ready for round two?
- I was born ready
you little band geek.
- Come on then.
(hand swinging)
- You are nothing but a
little loser band geek.
- You and your little
band geek friend
are never gonna be cool.
(mean girls laughing)
- Let's go see Alex get
her butt whipped by Ruby.
(suspenseful music)
(hand punching)
- [Crowd Member] Hit her.
- [Crowd] Oh, you got her.
Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex.
(hand punching)
(suspenseful music)
- [Crowd Member]
Oh no, not a knife.
- You never should
started this fight Alex.
You're gonna lose.
It's over for you.
- Oh my God, Ruby,
what are you doing?
- Get off me.
- You're taking this too far.
- No I'm not, go.
- You can't do this,
she's been through enough.
- I'll tell you when
she's had enough.
(footsteps thudding)
(dramatic music)
(hand punching)
- [Crowd] Oh. Oh.
- [Crowd Member] That
looked like it hurt.
(dramatic music)
- Are you all right?
(dramatic music)
- You can do this, trust me.
(dramatic music)
(Alex jumping)
- [Crowd Member] Go Alex.
Get her.
(dramatic music)
- [Crowd Member] Get her Alex.
(dramatic music)
(Ruby falls)
(hand tapping)
(crowd cheering)
(upbeat music)
(Ruby coughs)
(crowd cheering)
(upbeat music)
- I knew you could do it Alex.
(hands clapping)
(upbeat music)
- I can't believe we did it.
We will go down in
history as the girls
that beat up Ruby
and her friends.
Do you understand this?
We are heroes, girl, heroes.
(car engine revving)
(crowd cheering)
(crowd applauding)
(car engine revving)
(upbeat music)
(crowd cheering)
(upbeat music)
- You were pretty brave tonight.
- Thank you.
- You showed the whole
school that you're not afraid
of being who you really are.
- Well, I was scared, but I
had to do what I had to do.
I've been bullied my whole life.
And without Alex, I
wouldn't have been able
to stand up to those girls.
- Do you think you can teach
me to play trombone one day?
- I thought you
had a girlfriend.
- Not after tonight.
- I thought you'd never ask.
(Zach chuckles)
(gentle music)
(crickets chirping)
(mouth kissing)
(crickets chirping)
- You know I learned a
lot about you tonight.
- What, that I'm not
completely a dork?
- No, I just always
thought that the band geeks
were like rejects or something.
And tonight I think
a little different.
I don't know, Ruby was
always just a bully
and somebody had to
put her in her place
and you are just who you are.
Even if you did
lie about your car.
(Alex chuckles)
- Yeah, well I'm gonna
pay for that tomorrow
and probably never
leave my house again.
But, it was worth every minute.
You were worth
every minute to me.
I mean that.
(crickets chirping)
(gentle music)
(all laugh)
- That was fun.
- We're gonna take y'all home.
(car door opens)
(car engine revving)
(car door opens)
(car door closes)
(gentle music)
Thanks for a great night.
- Thank you.
- Tell your parents I'm sorry
for getting you home so late.
- I wouldn't worry about it.
I mean, I told 'em I was out
with the guys anyway, so.
- I guess I'm in
trouble with them now.
- I wouldn't say that.
(gentle music)
(upbeat music)
(car engine revving)
(upbeat music)
(car door closes)
(upbeat music)
- I had a really
great time last night.
- Me too, I loved
how you kicked Ruby
and her friend's butts.
- You better watch it or
might kick your butt too.
(upbeat music)
(Claire chuckles)
(upbeat music)
(Alex laughs)
- Woo.
- Woo.
(car door closes)
(upbeat music)
(car engine revving)
(car door closes)
(keys jingling)
- Here, we have to put
the cover on the car
so we don't have to see it.
(trunk closes)
(keys jingling)
It's gonna be a great summer.
- Yeah, it is.
- Come on, we got
a house to clean.
(classical music)
Oh wow.
- [Claire] There's
so much stuff.
- We got a lot to clean.
My parents are gonna kill me.
- Yep.
- Let's clean this.
- Sounds good.
- Okay.
(classical music)
(bottles thudding)
(classical music)
(car door opens)
(car door closes)
- Son, will you
get off the phone
and help me with
these bags, please?
- Yeah, well he can do it,
'cause my back is killing me.
Oh my gosh, that traffic
was terrible, worst ever.
- Oh, if you could get
that, that would help.
Oh my back, it hurts.
Oh gosh.
All right, so.
(classical music)
Oh, does anybody else have a
weird feeling in their stomach?
I don't mean the burrito
place we stopped at
because that's a special
feeling right there.
But I've got another
feeling and it's not right.
There's something wrong.
There's something
very, very wrong.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
(classical music)
- Honey, leave the car alone.
We need to go and
check up on the girls.
- But what if--
- No, no.
You're just worried about the
car and we need to go inside.
(classical music)
(door opens)
- All right, we made it.
- Girls, we're home.
- Hi mom. Dad.
- Ladies.
Hi girls.
How was your weekend?
Everything go okay?
- Yeah, everything went great.
- Good, see our daughter.
What did I tell ya?
She is so trustworthy
and her friend
because she's such
a good influence.
You know, nothing
bad would happen.
See, that's something
to be proud of.
That shows that we did
a good job parenting
because most parents,
they go away for a weekend
and they leave their kid alone
and then they gotta worry
about the house being blown up
or something crazy like
that while they're gone.
With our kids, you know, we
know that we can trust them
and they're reliable
and they're responsible
and we come home and
everything's just fine.
So, good job.
- What the hell?
Where are the keys to my car?
You better not
have messed my car.
(door opens)
(door closes)
- You wouldn't know anything
that he's talking about
would you?
- Never.

(trombone playing)
(Alex screaming)
- Ow.
(both laugh)
- So where are
your parents going?
- Yeah okay.
- Tired of getting picked on by.
- Look at the window mechanisms.
You have to use your hand
because it's automatic.

I don't know my line.

Family sticks...
Sorry.

- Thanks band geek.
- Excuse me, that part.
- I'm I like.
- I forgot my line.
- My parents are 300 miles away
to take my brother to see
his new college dorm room.
My parents are 300 miles away,
taking my brother to see his.
I tried my best to get
Randy to notice me.
And I know he saw me today.
- Yes he did.
- I know my brother.
- I know where my
brother left his keys.
(both laugh)
- [Man] Go towards the yard.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- My brain is just
like, what's a no?
They have to see his
new college dorm room.
We were about to kiss.
(both laugh)
- [Man] Can you hold it, like,
lift a little bit higher and
then hold it for a second.
- Okay.
(Alex laughs)
I'm not doing anything.
(Alex laughs)
- She's the one laughing.
Okay, ready?
- Yeah, I'm here
to pick up my car.
(Alex laughs)
(all laugh)
- Why is she laughing,
I thought we laughing.
- But you wasn't gonna laugh.
- I just said, yeah.
See, that was fun, wasn't it?
- Yes.
Can we do that again?
- Yes.
- Sorry.
(both laugh)
- Yeah, I was like.
- [Man] Just light wise,

No. No.

(Alex screams)
(car door closes)
(car honking)
- Hold on.
(car honking)
(keys jingling)
(car honking)
What?
- It's lock button.
(car honking)
- You got the clicker?
(car honking)
- Yeah you hit
something right here.
- No you opened the door
while it was locked.
- Okay, let me see that.
(car honking)
(keys jingling)
- I've never had
this happen before.
(car door opens)
- You have to key
in the ignition.
- Oh.
- I got it
- I've never had
that happen before.
(upbeat music)
(gentle music)
(upbeat music)
- The 1966 Ford
Mustang convertible.
Candy apple red, 289 motor
with an automatic transmission,
one of the most sought after
classic cars of all time.
The Mustang came out
with this body style
in 1964 and a half,
and it's called a 64 and a half
because they didn't
start releasing it
until the middle of the year.
Then they made it for two
more years, until 1967
when it started to look
more like a hot rod.
My parents have always
known that I've wanted
a classic 66 Mustang.
It's my dream, my passion,
the car that I've always
dreamt about owning.
This is like one of the
cars you see in the movies.
- Wow.
- Come on, let's sit in it.
(upbeat music)
(car door opens)
(upbeat music)
(car door closes)
- Look at the window mechanisms.
You have to roll it
up with your hand
because it's not electric.
- Do you know how
cool this is gonna be,
when we take this
to school on Monday?
The last day of school, and we
are going to go out in style.
- Are you kidding me?
We're gonna be the
coolest girls in school.
- I can't believe my
parents bought this for me.
I mean, this is like
a dream come true.
Now, we don't have to take the
bus to band practice anymore.
- Guys might actually
notice us with this car.
(upbeat music)
- Okay, get ready for
this, it's a big surprise.
Don't look, don't look,
don't look, and...
Alex.
What the hell are you
doing in this car?
Out.
Out now, get out.
What are you doing?
This is not your car.
- Is this is really your car?
- This is really your car.
Okay, so sorry about this.
It really wasn't supposed
to go down like this.
You, young lady, have no right
to be sitting in his car.
He worked for it.
You did not work for it.
You are still in school.
And you've gotta get to
music class, do you not?
Yeah, yeah.
- Thanks mom and dad.
- We're so proud of you, son.
- You deserve it,
you worked for it
and you earned every bit of it.
And that's the whole point.
You're gonna get to
roll up as a freshman
in this beautiful bomb ass
candy apple red Mustang,
which I wish that I had.
Believe me, I wish I
had when I was your age.
- But you didn't,
you had a Volkswagen.
But that's the reason
why I married you.
- You got that right dear.
And that's why, you're so cute.
I love you. I love you.
But you young lady, you
have got some work to do.
Do you understand?
This is how it works, it's
a little quid pro quo, okay?
So you do the work,
you get good grades,
and then you get a
bonus round, you see?
So now let's stop
talking about all this
and get your butt to class
because you guys are both
late for band practice.
So hip hop, hip hop,
let's go, come on.
Band practice, we
gotta get going.
You guys in the car.
Gotta get down to the
state inspection session
and you guys have got
to get outta here.
Go, go, go, go, go.
Girls, enjoy the bus.
(car door closes)
(car engine revving)
(upbeat music)
I drove here, by the way too,
so I know what I'm doing.
(upbeat music)
- I'm gonna have a car like
that one day, you wait.
- Then maybe we could be
cool for once in our lives.
- Come on, let's go
grab our backpacks
and get to band practice.
(upbeat music)
Good morning, Mr. Peterson.
- Morning.
- Thank you for the ride,
we'd be walking without you.
- Anytime.
(upbeat music)
- I'm trying out for drum major.
- Really?
You don't get enough music
from playing your trombone?
And now you wanna conduct it?
Let's not forget about the
endless band tapes you watch.
- It's a really good
position for me.
- I think I'm gonna try
out for section leader.
- Hey Claire.
I heard you were trying out
for drum major this year.
- Maybe.
- Hey, don't worry,
your gonna do fine.
I'll practice with
you over the summer
before I go off to college.
That way the seniors
don't beat you out.
- Thanks, Larry.
- Hey, don't worry.
Being in the band is like
being in a family, right Alex?
- Right.
- And family sticks together
no matter how hard it gets.
(upbeat music)
- I wish all guys would
talk to me like that,
outside of the band I mean.
(upbeat music)
(bus engine revving)
(upbeat music)
(whistle blowing)
(upbeat music)
(wind whooshing)
(upbeat music)
(trombone playing)
Oh, so what are your
parents doing this weekend?
- They're taking my brother
to see his new college.
- Where's that?
- College Station.
They're taking him to get
acquainted with the school
and then they're
looking at dorms.
(gentle music)
- [Coach] Drive here.
- Hey, check it out.
Randy's checking you out.
(whistle blows)
(gentle music)
- Hey Randy!
- Ruby!
(gentle music)
- What are you two
band geeks looking at?
- We were watching
the football practice.
- You sure you weren't
looking at my man, Randy?
- No, we were waiting
for the football team
to clear the field so we
could practice our band steps.
That's what band kids do.
- You think you're real
cool, huh, band geek?
(gentle music)
Bet your mother doesn't
know that you two
still play with Barbie's.
(mean girls laughing)
- Don't make mom
jokes around Claire.
- Why not band geek?
- Because her mom
isn't around anymore.
- I'm a momma's girl,
I'm a momma's girl.
I'm a momma's girl.
(mean girls laugh)
- Leave us alone, Ruby.
- Or else what?
(team chattering)
(gentle music)
(hand pushing)
(girls falling)
(mean girls laugh)
- Losers.
- Band nerds.
Band nerds.
- I'm tired of getting picked
on by those three girls.
- What do you expect?
We're dorks and we
will always be dorks.
- One day, I'm gonna
stand up to Ruby,
drive the coolest car in school
and ask Randy out on a date.
- Keep dreaming.
Besides, when do girls
ask boys out on dates?
- I'm gonna change that.
Come on, let's go
to driver's ed.
(bell ringing)
- You will get a
ticket if you do not
turn off your signal light.
- Thanks Mr. Gleason.
(books dropping)
(gentle music)
Thanks.
- This is a classroom,
not a romantic adventure.
Ladies, take your seats.
(metal clanking)
As I was saying, tomorrow
is your final examination.
It best behooves you to
remember what was taught
in this class if you wish
to pass that examination.
Which begs the question,
at the end of the day,
who will be a winner
and who will be a loser?
Since tomorrow is the
final examination.
Today will consist
of an oral pop quiz.
First question.
When is it improper to make
a right turn on a red light?
- Hi, sweetie.
- Mom, tomorrow's my big day.
- I know my little one's
finally taking her driving test.
- I can't wait to
get my license.
(phone rings)
(water splashing)
Oh, I have to take this.
- Guess what?
- What?
- Randy and Zach are
gonna be hanging out
at the Pig Stand tonight.
- How do you know?
- Well, I overheard them talking
on my way to the nurse's
office for my checkup.
- You know there's nothing
wrong with you, right?
Your dad is just paranoid.
- I know, but--
- Your mom passing
away has nothing to do
with what you're feeling.
Cancer isn't something
you can catch,
it just happens to people.
- Yeah, I know.
- I'm sorry, I didn't mean
to hurt your feelings.
I was out of line
for saying that.
- That's okay.
- I'll meet you at the
Pig Stand in an hour?
- [Claire] Yeah, I'll
see you later, bye.
(gentle music)
(car engine revving)
(gentle music)
(footsteps thudding)
(gentle music)
(door opens)
(footsteps thudding)
(gentle music)
You hear that?
- It's my favorite
song, Clair de Lune.
(gentle music)
- Hey dude, we don't wanna
look like band dorks,
let's go inside.
(door opens)
(crowd chattering)
(gentle music)
- I really screwed up
during band practice today.
- Why, what happened?
- Well, nothing really,
but Mr. Robinson
just got really mad at me.
- Was it hot?
You don't do well under heat.
- Yeah, I know, but it really
isn't an excuse, you know?
- Right.
- Do you see that?
- Yes, I do.
- Wouldn't it be cool
if you got a chance
to invite this guys to a party?
- I could show
them my band tapes.
- No, I mean real music, like
what other people listen to.
- I listen to real music.
- I mean what cool
people listen to.
- Oh.
- Just one time, done.
- Y'all going to
that game next week?
We're gonna go against
Church House this year
and we're gonna beat
'em with our new
star quarterback, Randy.
(gentle music)
(boys laughing)
- I hope you are ready for this.
I don't want a
driver on the road
who cannot operate a
motor vehicle properly.
- Yes, sir.
(car engine revving)
- You know the procedure is,
you take your foot off the gas,
you put it on the brake,
you put the car in gear,
you put your foot on
the gas, and we go.
- Oh yeah, I was
only testing you.
- Yeah, right.
(car engine revving)
- Well, well, well, if it isn't
little Alex from band class.
- Oh no.
- The champion of
the racing squad
versus the band geek and our
little driver's, ed buddy.
Victory, victory it is
when we kick your butt.
(dramatic music)
(car engine revving)
(dramatic music)
(car engine revving)
- Think you can beat me?
- Let's go.
- Come on band loser,
we're gonna take you down.
- Don't even think about it,
if you wish to pass
this examination.
- Band nerds
- Later loser.
(tires squealing)
See ya.
(car engine revving)
(upbeat music)
- Do you think you
passed the test?
- I hope so.
I prayed and studied
for it all night long.
- I'll keep my fingers
crossed for you.
(crowd laughing)
(gentle music)
- Did you see that?
I did it, I passed.
- Congratulations.
Now we can go places.
(gentle music)
- Wow.
Look at Zach.
He looks so hot.
- Look at Randy.
He's so cute.
- I wish we just had one
chance to talk to those guys.
(crowd chattering)
- Maybe we do.
Now that I got my license,
maybe we have that chance.
I'm gonna ask Randy
out on a date.
(gentle music)
Oh.
- No way, not unless
you wanna get beaten up
by our favorite bully friend.
- We'll see.
- I love my family.
I think about how lucky I
am when I start comparing
my family to every
other family out there.
And you know, you see it.
You see it when you go to the
big, you know, class reunions
and you see the people
that are your own age
and what they've done
with their families.
And then I go and
I visit your school
and I watch other parents.
I think we've done very well
with our children, don't you?
- Yes, dear.
- So since I passed
my driver's test,
do you guys think
you can buy me a car
like you did for Bart?
- The answer is you
will have a car,
but your first car is gonna
be the same as his first car.
(gentle music)
- You're kidding, right?
The van?
- Yeah. Why?
- It's been parked
in the garage,
it probably doesn't even work.
- Yes it does.
- I will look like a
complete dork in the van.
- You already look like
an incomplete dork.
- Shut up.
- Be nice, be nice.
Listen, so Bart, why
don't you go ahead
and get your stuff
and grab everything.
Get everything together, and
wait put your book money away
because you're not gonna
need to bring it with you.
I've decided to pay for
everything this weekend.
I'd rather that
you hold onto it.
- So what about me?
- You are going
to be staying here
because you can't afford
to miss drum line practice
on Saturday morning.
- I'm staying here
all by myself?
- Not by yourself, I've
made all the arrangements.
I already went ahead and
I called Claire's dad
and I set everything up
and he's totally fine with her
coming over for the weekend.
So you're gonna spend a nice,
lovely weekend with Claire
and you guys, I'm sure
will have a great time.
All I ask is that
you're responsible
and you don't do
anything I wouldn't do.
Speaking of which, we need
to start getting everything
out to the SUV so that we can
be packed and ready to go.
- So you are not
taking the Mustang?
- No, no.
I know exactly how your
mind's working right now.
Don't get any big ideas.
I'm telling you the Mustang
stays where it is, okay?
- Okay.
(upbeat music)
I can't believe my parents
bought my brother a cool Mustang
and I got stuck
with his old van.
- Well, at least you have a car.
- Well, other kids don't
get stuck with this problem.
How am I supposed
to get a boyfriend?
My first wheels have to be cool.
(upbeat music)
- Hey look.
- Why didn't you
come over last night?
Are you seeing someone else?
You better not.
- What's going on with you?
I'm at practice.
Are you really doing
this right now?
- [Ruby] You haven't been
spending time with me.
- That girl's mean.
- [Ruby] It's always
- [Ruby] about the boys.
- Tell me about it.
- [Randy] Can you just,
- [Ruby] it's about me.
- One day we're gonna
kick that girl's butt.
- Can you just gimme some space?
- Space?
You're not gonna get any space.
- Now's your chance, go.
Go.
- You're not talking.
- What do you expect me to do?
- Don't give me an attitude.
- God, dude, just go away.
- No.
- Just leave.
- You know what, fine.
- They're about to yell at me.
- You know what--
- Excuse me.
- What do you want band geek?
What do you think you're
doing in my business?
- I think you should
stop yelling at Randy.
(suspenseful music)
- I don't like to be
touched band geek.
But I'll let it
slide just this once.
If I catch you talking
or even looking
at my boyfriend, Randy,
me and two my friends here,
we're gonna rearrange your face.
And same goes for your
little band friend too.
- Hey, break it up.
You three my office, now.
- [Crowd] Ooh.
- Now.
- You better watch your
back, I'm watching you.
(girls laughing)
(gentle music)
- [Claire] Ahhh,
that was intense.
- We better watch it because
Ruby is gonna kick our butts.
- I don't care.
I tried my best to
get Randy's attention
and I know he noticed me today.
- Yes you did.
And did you see
Zach's cute face?
- Settle down, Claire.
If we're gonna get boys
to notice us at school,
we need a car.
- You're not thinking what
I think you're thinking.
- We're gonna take my
brother's 1966 Ford Mustang
to the Pig Stand tonight.
- Why, you're crazy, Alex.
- My parents are 300 miles away.
Taking my brother to see
his new college dorm room.
Do I look crazy?
(gentle music)
They'll never find out.
- This is not a good idea.
But if I get to see
Zach's cute face again,
then maybe it'll be good.
- I know where my
brother left his keys.

and not get in trouble?

That's so hot.
(girls giggling)
- Hey Alex, I heard you
stepped it up to Ruby
and her bully friends.
- Something like that.
(upbeat music)
(girls giggling)
(upbeat music)
Can you believe that
guy just called me hot?
- Well, he said,
"That's so hot."
But.
- Either way, people are
paying attention to us
in this car.
- The car can change your life.
- Though I was thinking
of maybe throwing
a house party tomorrow night.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- No, no way.
It's just no one's
gonna show up to a party
at your house and not
cool people anyway.
- Well, you can invite the band
kids and I'll invite Randy.
- Please tell me you're
gonna invite Zach too.
(upbeat music)
- Randy.
- Hi.
- Hi.
How are you?
- I mean, it's Friday, so,
pretty good.
- Yeah, me too.
I mean, since it's
Friday, I mean.
- So I heard you got a new car,
candy apple red
Mustang convertible.
- Yeah, I just got it.
It's parked outside.
- You know that's really cool.
- Do you and your
friends wanna go
to a house party tomorrow night?
- Who's party?
- Mine.
- You're doing it.
- As long as you're
picking me up
in that sweet new car of yours.
- Yeah, of course.
- Do you know where
I live though?
- Everyone knows where you live.
I'll see you at 7:30.
- Yeah. Cool.
- I thought I told
you not to talk
to my boyfriend band geek!
You know I'm getting
pretty sick and tired
of seeing you walk around school
thinking you're
some kind of hero.
- I don't think that.
- Hey, Ruby.
(water splashing)
- [Mean Girls] Oh.

- Look out.
(tires screeching)
- What the hell?
- You, what the hell damn kids?
- Get out of the way old man.
- What the heck?
- Move.
- Damn it.
- Where'd she even get
that 1966 Ford Mustang?
- I don't know.
- Well, we're gonna find out.
- Where did you learn
how to drive like that?
- I used to play R.C.
Pro-Am with my brother
when we were kids.
I guess I just remember
the tricks to racing.
(Claire squealing)
- I've never felt so free.
- We just pumped the
baddest girls in school.
They're probably gonna
steal my lunch money
for the next two years.
- It's okay, it was worth it.
(Claire chuckles)
- Yeah, you're right.
Let's go home.
(car engine revving)
(gentle music)
- Ruby was so pissed today.
- Yeah, it was so funny
to see her get so angry
and there was nothing
she could do about it.
- We took off like lightning
and they couldn't even catch us.
- Can I tell you something?
- Sure, you can
tell me anything.
- I just wanted to let you know
that I think of you
like a big sister.
(gentle music)
- Thanks, Claire.
- It's just, I don't
really have a big sister
and after my mom passed away,
it's just me and my
brother and my dad.
And my dad's always working, so.
- Well, that's what parents do.
They work hard to protect us
and here we are screwing around.
(both chuckle)
(gentle music)
- I just wish that my mom could
see me be in marching band,
especially if I get drum major.
I mean, who knows?
Maybe we could be
in UIL this year.
(gentle music)
- Your mom is watching
you from heaven.
I know that.
(gentle music)
- Do you think maybe I could
have a chance with Zach?
I mean maybe he might like me.
- I hope so.
We're both trying to get
the hottest guys in school.
(gentle music)
(alarm beeping)
(gentle music)
(toothbrush brushing)
Do you want some coffee?
- Sure.
- Oh, do you want creamer?
- No, thank you.
(cup thudding)
- Okay, so the plan is,
I need to wash the car
and then we need to
clean up this house
and find some alcoholic
beverages for tonight.
- Do you know where
you're gonna wear tonight?
- I was thinking my overalls.
- No, no, not about it.
(both laugh)
(hose spraying)
(metal clanking)
(water splashing)
(upbeat music)
I can't believe you skipped out
on drum line practice today.
We've got that big
competition coming up
and I've got lessons
for sectionals.
- Relax Claire, we have a candy
apple red, 1966 Ford Mustang
and we only have
it until tomorrow.
So we have to drive this
baby as much as we can
so we can enjoy it tonight.
- I guess you're right.
- Besides, I'm picking
up Randy tonight
and he's going out with me.
Me.
- I guess I will go
pick up the house
while you take him out.
- Oh, don't start pulling
up my mom's party stuff.
- [Claire] I won't.
- That's stuff for kids parties.
Start calling our
friends and see who wants
to hang out for the party.
- We don't have any friends.
- Well just invite
everyone you can think of.
Invite the band
kids if you have to.
Just invite whoever you can
so it makes it look
like we're not losers.
Oh, and we need beer.
(coins jingling)
- Is that all?
- Well, my mom left me $20.
- I guess we're just
gonna have to buy a bunch
of cheap 12 packs.
(coins jingling)
- Let's go to the
convenience store.
(gentle music)
Are the tires low?
- I don't know,
never owned a car.
- Do you think they're
gonna let me get beer?
- I don't know, but you can try.
- Okay, you wait here.
I'm gonna go try inside.
(upbeat music)
(car engine revving)
(upbeat music)
- All right girls, it's
time to look pretty.
- Excuse me, sir, do you
mind if I use your restroom?
- Sure, it's over that way.
(upbeat music)
- Oh, sorry.
(upbeat music)
- What do you think of
our little band geek Alex
throwing a party tonight?
- I'll tell you
what we're gonna do.
We're gonna crash her
little band party tonight.
(girls laughing)
- Oh no.
(girls laughing)
- Let's go.
Let's see if Kelly
scored the beer.
(tissue rustling)
(car door opens)
Atta girl Kelly.
(upbeat music)
(car door closes)
(door opens)
(upbeat music)
(tires screeching)
(upbeat music)
- Good afternoon, officer.
Is there something
I can help you with?
- As a matter of fact, there is,
I got a call about a little girl
asking adults to
buy alcohol for her.
- I don't know what
you're talking about.
I just went inside
to use the restroom
and then these girls
came into the bathroom
and they scared me--
- Do you have a driver's
license, young lady?
- Yes. Yes I do.
- Well, may I see it?
(footsteps thudding)
(birds chirping)
- I don't have it.
- Of course you don't.
This is the type of behavior
that can lead you
to more trouble.
I was a kid like you once too,
and you don't seem like bad kids
and you haven't been
arrested, right?
- No sir.
- Well, unfortunately I can't
let you drive this vehicle
without a driver's license.
So I've decided to
take it to the pound.
- But officer.
- You want to get it back?
Just show us your
driver's license
and pay the fee for the towing.
- All right, officer.
I admit we broke the
law and we are so sorry.
It's my fault.
I forgot Alex's purse at home
and it won't ever happen again.
However, we need this car so
that my silly friend over
there can take the boy
of her dreams out on a date.
(upbeat music)
- I guess we walk.
(upbeat music)
(tires squealing)
- Hey losers!
- Are you thirsty?
(water splashing)
- Stay away from my man, Randy!
(tires squealing)
(upbeat music)
- [News Anchor]
Congratulations--
- So what are we gonna do now?
- [News Anchor] Students.
Now, come on down to.
Fast--
- Let me think.
- [News Anchor] Half price
college books where today.
- I don't know.
- [News Anchor]
And maybe tomorrow.
- Well at least we
found your purse.
- Yeah.
- What are you waiting for?
You snooze, you lose.
Hop in your jalopy,
step on the gas
and get on down here
to Fast Draw McGraw's,
half price college books.
Yeah, you, I'm talking to you.
- Half priced books.
My brother's piggy bank.
(suspenseful music)
I've got the solution
to my problem.
Remember, you're doing
this to get Bart's car
out of the police pound.
(upbeat music)
- Wooo
(throat clearing)
Alex.
- Yeah, I'm here
to pick up my car.
(upbeat music)
Did you contact anyone
about the party?
- Yeah, I've got a few
people from band coming over
and some of my
brother's friends.
- Wait, your brother's coming?
- I told him we'd
give him 50 bucks
if he got his alcohol
with his fake ID.
- And he agreed.
- Yes.
- Great.
Let's do that, we're
running out of time.
(upbeat music)
(shower running)
- Are you sure we
should have this party?
- We have to have this party.
- Then what if Ruby
and her friend show up?
- Look, you've always
wanted to be cool, right?
Well, now is your chance.
And you're the one
who's always complaining
about not being
in the cool crew.
- Okay. But.
- Okay, tonight is the night,
I'm picking up the
hottest guy in school
with the coolest
1966 Ford Mustang.
When is this ever
going to happen again?
Let's live a little
bit, besides you have
to help me make
this night special.
- Okay, everything's
gonna be fine.
- Talk to you when you
get out of the shower.
(shower curtain ruffling)
(gentle music)
(spectacles clanking)
(gentle music)
(metal clanking)
(bottle spraying)
(gentle music)
- Are you going to be
wearing any makeup?
- Yeah, of course.
- I don't really know
how to do makeup.
So do you think maybe
you could help me out?
- Of course I can.
- Be careful.
- I'm not gonna hurt your eye.
Here, close your eye,
it'll I'll make it easier
for me to put it on.
- Okay?
- I like a more natural look.
The girls at school like
to be made up like clowns,
but I think it's better
when it's simple.
- How do you know
when it's right?
- Well, I like people to think
that I'm not actually
wearing makeup
so they think I
have natural beauty.
(gentle music)
- Okay, now look up.
This will make your eyelashes
look longer and darker.
(Alex chuckles)
- My mother wasn't around to
teach me this sort of thing,
so I mainly learned
from watching TV.
- I think you do a great job.
I'm just adding a few touch ups.
(gentle music)
- Thank you for being my friend.
I don't have many and well,
you always stick around
through the hard times.
- Well, that's what
friends are for.
They get you through everything.
My grandma said that
friends come and go,
but true friends will
stick with you in the end.
- Oh, that is my brother.
Can I take the money from
your brother's piggy bank?
- Mhm.
- Okay.
(car honking)
(upbeat music)
(car door closes)
(upbeat music)
- Hello brother.
- Here you go.
- Here's your money.
- I'm only doing this
so that you and Alex
can try to be cool for once.
Don't get into trouble.
Love you. Bye.
- Bye.
Thanks for the beer.
(footsteps thudding)
- What do you think?
- You look good.
Randy's gonna be
really impressed.
- Thanks Claire.
- I'm gonna take Randy to get
something to eat really quick
and then I'll be back.
- Take care of my house.
- See you later.
(upbeat music)
(car engine revving)
(upbeat music)
(car engine revving)
(upbeat music)
(car door closes)
(footsteps thudding)
- Right on time.
(footsteps thudding)
(door knocking)
(upbeat music)
(door opens)
- Can I help you young lady?
- I'm here to pick up
Randy for our date.
- Wait don't I know you?
- I live right down the street.
- Yeah, but you're the drum
line captain, aren't you?
- Kind of.
- I knew I remembered you.
Fred, come here for a second.
(upbeat music)
(footsteps thudding)
You remember Bonnie's
little daughter?
- Oh yes.
You've grown up.
- She sure has, hasn't she?
- Hey, is that your
candy apple red,
1966 Ford Mustang Convertible.
- Mm.
- I always wanted one of those.
- It's gorgeous.
- Alex. Hey.
I see you've met my parents.
- Yeah, they're both very nice.
- Mom, we're gonna
get outta here.
- You all have a
good time, okay?
- And take care of that Mustang.
- Fred.
- I mean, take care
of my son, Randy.
- Will you stop it?
He's a grown man, he
can handle himself.
(upbeat music)
(car door closes)
(car engine revving)
(upbeat music)
(car door opens)
(car door closes)
- I thought we were
gonna your house party.
- Well, we are, but I thought
we should grab
something to eat first.
- Okay, I told Zach and
Kurt to meet us there,
so I guess I'll just tell
him I'll be a little late.
(gentle music)
What is this?
- Sushi, ever have it before?
- Like once.
- I thought you
were the type of guy
who'd know of the
different types of sushi.
- No, it's actually
a real mystery to me.
- So how did your friends react
when you told them you were
going out with me tonight?
- I really don't care
what my friends think.
Kind of used to
doing my own thing.
- How do you feel about going
out with a band girl like me?
- It's all right, I guess.
I mean, you're at
every football game
and you're there playing
cadences to the football team.
- So you listen to
the songs we play?
- Yeah, of course.
I mean, how else am I supposed
to get hyped for the game?
- I don't know, I
just, I figured you
didn't know I existed.
- Well, I do.
And you're like really
good at the drums too.
- Thank you.
I just don't like telling
people I play in the band
because I don't like
to get picked on.
- You mean Ruby?
Well, we're not really
together anymore.
I probably shouldn't have
been going out with her
in the first place.
I started to realize
she's just a bully
and I'm just now seeing that.
We've been together
since like sophomore year
and things were good
at first, she was nice,
but she's just gotten
more and more aggressive
and I'm just now starting
to open up my eyes
and see how she treats people.
(gentle music)
- Can I tell you something?
I admire your adult decision
to break up with Ruby.
You're the hottest guy in
school and you don't deserve
to be treated like that.
(crowd chattering)
Well, thank you for coming
out with me tonight.
The girls in the band
will never believe
that we're out on a date.
(upbeat music)
(car engine revving)
(car door opens)
(upbeat music)
(car door closes)
This isn't much of a party,
I'm not really that cool.
But you go inside,
I'll meet you in there.
I'll put the car
cover over the car.
- Cool. I'll see you in there.
(keys jingling)
- This is beer pong. Shall we?
(upbeat music)
(crowd chattering)
(upbeat music)
- Hey, Randy,
Zach and Kurt are over there
waiting for you at the table.
And don't mind any
of the band kids.
They just haven't seen anyone
as attractive as you.
- Right.
Thanks.
- Zach, what's up man?
- Randy, you're
finally here, bud.
This is a stupid
sophomore party,
but at least they
have cold beer.
(upbeat music)
(door closes)
(crowd chattering)
(upbeat music)
- I see Claire got you a beer.
- Yeah.
Thanks Claire.
- So Claire's a great host.
She's gonna be drum
major next year,
which means I get to have
her play the fight song
for me whenever I want.
- Drum major, I love a woman
who can take charge of a band.
Tell me more about it.
(upbeat music)
- Can I show you
something in my room?
- Yeah. Let's go.
(upbeat music)
(crowd chattering)
(car engine revving)
- Are you sure this
is the right address?
- It is.
I bet that 1966 Mustang is under
that car cover over
there in the driveway.
You girls ready?
- Oh, you know it, Ruby.
(all laugh)
- All right, we're gonna
go into the party calmly
then we're gonna trash it.
(all laugh)
All right, let's
go scoop this out.
(car door opens)
(car door closes)
(girls giggling)
(upbeat music)
- Take this.
Hey everyone, we
brought the goods.
- The party has just begun.
- Give me that.
- Ew, what is this nonsense?
- Someone turn that off.
- Does anyone know where
Alex and Claire are?
♪ So nothing left of you ♪
♪ Nothing for you ♪
(door opens)
- So, this is your room huh?
- Yeah.
Sorry, it's a little messy.
I didn't have time to clean
it, it was a long day.
- It's fine.
Did did you draw that?
(gentle music)
- Yeah, I did it when I
was in love with this boy
in the sixth grade.
(gentle music)
♪ Funny how things change ♪
♪ Time will never move ♪
- Oh, sorry.
Didn't mean to bother you two.
I thought the room was empty.
- That's okay, you can
use the room next door.
Just don't touch any
of my brother's stuff.
- Thanks Alex, we promise
not to make a mess.
All right, let's go
smoke in this room.
- So where were we?
- [Claire] Hey, I
need to talk to you.
- One second.
(door opens)
Not now, quit bugging me.
- What are you talking about?
- What's so important that
you have to talk about?
- Well, I was just
gonna tell you
that we've ran out of beer.
- Can you find
something else to do,
I'm in the middle of something.
Get lost.
(gentle music)
I'm sorry.
- It's good.
(crowd chattering)
(footsteps thudding)
- Get lost losers.
Go.
(mean girls giggle)
(crowd chattering)
Well, at least we know
her car's still here.
- So what do you
wanna do with it?
- Let's play some music.
(mean girl chuckles)
(upbeat music)
(crowd chattering)
(mean girls laugh)
(classical music)
(mean girls giggling)
- Oh, stop.
(gentle music)
- Or else what?
- Why are you guys doing this?
- Shut up band geek, you
can go back to your room
and play your dumb tuba.
- It's a trombone.
(Claire falling)
(bottles clanking)
- [Ruby] Wanna be.
(mean girls laugh)
Dork.
(mean girls laughing)
- Aw.
(upbeat music)
- Hey, have you seen Claire?
- Last time I saw her she
was throwing out the trash,
but that was like
30 minutes ago.
- Okay, thanks.
Hey guys, listen up.
Have any you seen Claire?
- Nope.
- Okay, well I wanted to show
you something really special.
My new car.
I won it in Las Vegas because
I'm a really great card player.
- Yeah, tell us about it.
- Who wants to see it?
(upbeat music)
(footsteps thudding)
(crickets chirping)
Okay, everyone, just
like I promised,
the candy apple red, 1966
Ford Mustang convertible.
(crickets chirping)
(cover ruffling)
- [Crowd] Oh.
(crickets chirping)
- Claire?
What happened to you?
- Little Alex.
This has been one hell
of a night, hasn't it?
Look at your friend over there.
All tied up like the
band geek she is.
- Hmm.
- Aww.
- Why don't you tell all
your band friends here
how you really got this car?
You're just a fake Alex,
your little friend told
me the whole story.
How you never won
a bet in Vegas.
Matter of fact, you
never even been to Vegas.
And as for this,
candy, apple red, 1966
Ford Mustang convertible.
Well, that's not yours either.
Why don't you tell your band
friends how you really got it
and you stole it from
your older brother.
- [Crowd] Oh,
- You've been driving
around in a stolen vehicle
for the past few days.
You are nothing
but a band loser.
Just like the rest of them.
(cricket chirping)
Have a good night band loser.
(footsteps thudding)
- What the hell, Alex?
You kicked me out of the room
and then these girls
beat me up and tied me up
and threw me in this car.
I thought you had my back.
- We gotta go, Randy.
We don't need to be
around this type of drama.
We already got our own.
- I'm gonna go ahead
and go with the guys.
They were talking about
finishing the night
at the Pig Stand, so.
(crickets chirping)
(footsteps thudding)
(crickets chirping)
- I am so so sorry Claire.
(gentle music)
- When I needed you most,
you were off trying
to hook up with Randy.
(gentle music)
(crickets chirping)
Help me.
(car door opens)
(gentle music)
(car door closes)
- Please forgive me, I just
wanted to be cool for once.
- And you were.
- I just wanted
Randy to notice me.
- Well at least you got
to take him out to dinner.
- Yeah, but just
like everything else,
it doesn't last.
One day, none of
this will matter.
We'll grow up and
we'll go to college.
And this will just be
a memory in my life.
A time in my life when I
just wanted to feel real,
but I don't know if I
should be proud or upset.
I'm just a stupid band nerd,
trying to beat the odds.
For once in my life,
I just wanted to be the girl
that boys look at and think,
"Wow, she's got
everything together."
So I'm sorry if I make mistakes,
but I'm just trying to fit in.
(gentle music)
(crickets chirping)
(footsteps thudding)
(gentle music)
(crickets chirping)
(gentle music)
(car door opens)
(car door closes)
(crickets chirping)
(gentle music)
I really ruined it.
(tap running)
(crickets chirping)
All I wanted, was
to have a good time
with my best friend
in the whole world.
I just wanted to show
her that she could
have a good time for once.
I ruined my chance with Randy.
I ruined my brother's car
and whatever
reputation I had left.
And now, my best friend in
the whole world is mad at me
and there's nothing
I can do about it.
(gentle music)
(Claire sobs)
(gentle music)
(Claire sobs)
(gentle music)
(Claire sobs)
(gentle music)
(Alex exhales)
(gentle music)
(tap running)
(gentle music)
(crickets chirping)
(gentle music)
- Alex.
(crickets chirping)
We can fix this problem
before your parents get home.
(crickets chirping)
- You know what?
You're right.
(car door opens)
(car door closes)
I'm tired of Ruby bullying us.
I'm not gonna let
her bully me anymore
and I'm not gonna let
her bully you either.
Just like Mr. Gleason said,
"Who are we going to be
at the end of the day?
"A winner or a loser?"
If we don't make a stand,
we're never gonna make a stand.
Let's make this one count.
I'm not gonna let
you leave as a dork.
Let's go get Ruby
and her friends
and let's make this
a night to remember.
Ruby and her two
bully friends messed
with the wrong band geeks.
(upbeat music)
(mean girls laugh)
Hey are you okay?
- Yes, I'm fine.
I just tripped on my shoelace.
- Okay, let's go.
(footsteps thudding)
- Look who decided to show up?
What you band dorks
didn't get enough earlier?
Or do we need to kick
your butts again?
- Ruby.
(gentle music)
- You're going down band geek.
- You think you can pick on me?
- You've gone on my last nerve
since you got into my business.
And now I'm gonna
knock your teeth out.
- What did I do that
was so bad to you?
Just like all the other kids
at school that you pick on.
I'm not the one.
And Claire doesn't deserve
to be picked on like that.
You know, all the mom jokes
you make all the time?
Well, yeah, she
doesn't have a mom.
And maybe you do, but
not everyone can go home
to their mom every night.
You know something, I
tried to be cool for once
I took my brother's car
without his permission.
And for what?
So I can maybe impress
the hottest guy at school.
It's not easy being a band geek.
You have to play songs
for the football team,
play cadences for
the cheerleaders,
and show up to band
practice all the time.
For once in my life I wanted
to be cool just like you.
And you know what?
You are not cool.
And I never wanna end up like
you and your two bully friends
because I like who I am.
And I'm going to kick your ass
because I'm tired of
being pushed around.
- I'm gonna rearrange
your face band geek.
- Good luck trying.
- You are not gonna
bully me anymore.
- Me neither.
(suspenseful music)
- Ruby, can we
just talk this out?
Go inside?
(dramatic music)
(hand punching)
- [Crowd] Oh.
(crowd chattering)
(suspenseful music)
(hand punching)
(stick dropping)
(Alex falling)
- [Crowd] Oh.
- Come on loser.
(Ruby falling)
(footsteps thudding)
- [Crowd] Fight, fight, fight.
(hand punching)
(mean girl laughs)
- [Ruby] Get off me.
(trombone case swinging)
(Alex falling)
- Want some more?
- Let go.
- Give me that.
- You think you can beat me?
Well, you can't.
You can lie about your car
and try to steal my boyfriend.
But you can't fool the
rest of the school.
What'd you think you were
gonna get away with this lie?
You're nothing but a band geek.
And that's what
you will always be.
(dramatic music)
Who wants to go up against me?
(suspenseful music)
- [Crowd Member] What?
(trombone case swinging)
(Claire falling)
- Nobody?
- Hey Ruby, ready for round two?
- I was born ready
you little band geek.
- Come on then.
(hand swinging)
- You are nothing but a
little loser band geek.
- You and your little
band geek friend
are never gonna be cool.
(mean girls laughing)
- Let's go see Alex get
her butt whipped by Ruby.
(suspenseful music)
(hand punching)
- [Crowd Member] Hit her.
- [Crowd] Oh, you got her.
Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex.
(hand punching)
(suspenseful music)
- [Crowd Member]
Oh no, not a knife.
- You never should
started this fight Alex.
You're gonna lose.
It's over for you.
- Oh my God, Ruby,
what are you doing?
- Get off me.
- You're taking this too far.
- No I'm not, go.
- You can't do this,
she's been through enough.
- I'll tell you when
she's had enough.
(footsteps thudding)
(dramatic music)
(hand punching)
- [Crowd] Oh. Oh.
- [Crowd Member] That
looked like it hurt.
(dramatic music)
- Are you all right?
(dramatic music)
- You can do this, trust me.
(dramatic music)

Get her.

(Ruby coughs)
(crowd cheering)
(upbeat music)
- I knew you could do it Alex.
(hands clapping)
(upbeat music)
- I can't believe we did it.
We will go down in
history as the girls
that beat up Ruby
and her friends.
Do you understand this?
We are heroes, girl, heroes.

- You were pretty brave tonight.
- Thank you.
- You showed the whole
school that you're not afraid
of being who you really are.
- Well, I was scared, but I
had to do what I had to do.
I've been bullied my whole life.
And without Alex, I
wouldn't have been able
to stand up to those girls.
- Do you think you can teach
me to play trombone one day?
- I thought you
had a girlfriend.
- Not after tonight.
- I thought you'd never ask.
(Zach chuckles)
(gentle music)
(crickets chirping)
(mouth kissing)
(crickets chirping)
- You know I learned a
lot about you tonight.
- What, that I'm not
completely a dork?
- No, I just always
thought that the band geeks
were like rejects or something.
And tonight I think
a little different.
I don't know, Ruby was
always just a bully
and somebody had to
put her in her place
and you are just who you are.
Even if you did
lie about your car.
(Alex chuckles)
- Yeah, well I'm gonna
pay for that tomorrow
and probably never
leave my house again.
But, it was worth every minute.
You were worth
every minute to me.
I mean that.
(crickets chirping)
(gentle music)
(all laugh)
- That was fun.
- We're gonna take y'all home.
(car door opens)
(car engine revving)
(car door opens)
(car door closes)
(gentle music)
Thanks for a great night.
- Thank you.
- Tell your parents I'm sorry
for getting you home so late.
- I wouldn't worry about it.
I mean, I told 'em I was out
with the guys anyway, so.
- I guess I'm in
trouble with them now.
- I wouldn't say that.
(gentle music)

(upbeat music)
- I had a really
great time last night.
- Me too, I loved
how you kicked Ruby
and her friend's butts.
- You better watch it or
might kick your butt too.
(upbeat music)
(Claire chuckles)
(upbeat music)
(Alex laughs)
- Woo.
- Woo.
(car door closes)

(car engine revving)
(car door closes)
(keys jingling)
- Here, we have to put
the cover on the car
so we don't have to see it.
(trunk closes)
(keys jingling)
It's gonna be a great summer.
- Yeah, it is.
- Come on, we got
a house to clean.
(classical music)
Oh wow.
- [Claire] There's
so much stuff.
- We got a lot to clean.
My parents are gonna kill me.
- Yep.
- Let's clean this.
- Sounds good.
- Okay.
(classical music)
(bottles thudding)
(classical music)
(car door opens)
(car door closes)
- Son, will you
get off the phone
and help me with
these bags, please?
- Yeah, well he can do it,
'cause my back is killing me.
Oh my gosh, that traffic
was terrible, worst ever.
- Oh, if you could get
that, that would help.
Oh my back, it hurts.
Oh gosh.
All right, so.
(classical music)
Oh, does anybody else have a
weird feeling in their stomach?
I don't mean the burrito
place we stopped at
because that's a special
feeling right there.
But I've got another
feeling and it's not right.
There's something wrong.
There's something
very, very wrong.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
(classical music)
- Honey, leave the car alone.
We need to go and
check up on the girls.
- But what if--
- No, no.
You're just worried about the
car and we need to go inside.
(classical music)
(door opens)
- All right, we made it.
- Girls, we're home.
- Hi mom. Dad.
- Ladies.
Hi girls.
How was your weekend?
Everything go okay?
- Yeah, everything went great.
- Good, see our daughter.
What did I tell ya?
She is so trustworthy
and her friend
because she's such
a good influence.
You know, nothing
bad would happen.
See, that's something
to be proud of.
That shows that we did
a good job parenting
because most parents,
they go away for a weekend
and they leave their kid alone
and then they gotta worry
about the house being blown up
or something crazy like
that while they're gone.
With our kids, you know, we
know that we can trust them
and they're reliable
and they're responsible
and we come home and
everything's just fine.
So, good job.
- What the hell?
Where are the keys to my car?
You better not
have messed my car.
(door opens)
(door closes)
- You wouldn't know anything
that he's talking about
would you?
- Never.
