THAT YOU'RE SORRY *

* AND NOW WHAT DO I DO
BUT BELIEVE? *

* I WAS THERE
WHEN YOU SAID IT, *

* THEN TELL ME WHY
DO I STILL GRIEVE? *

* YOUR "SORRY" WON'T
MAKE ALL THE PAIN GO AWAY *

* YOUR "SORRY" WON'T
MAKE ME FEEL BETTER *

* AND I STRUGGLE WITH ALL
OF THE THINGS THAT YOU SAID *

* WHEN I SHOULD FORGIVE
AND FORGET IT. *

* NO, YOUR "SORRY" WON'T
MAKE ALL THE PAIN GO AWAY *

* YOUR "SORRY" WON'T MAKE

MOM.

OKAY, WHAT ABOUT
YOUR FRIEND, GRACE?

IS SHE PRETTY?
IS SHE NICE?

IS SHE FUNNY,
IS SHE OFF THE CHIZZAIN?

OH, MY GOSH.

WELL ANYWAY YOU SHOULD
AT LEAST

HAVE HER OVER FOR DINNER
SOME TIME OR SOMETHING!

MOM, THAT'S SO
OLDEN TIMES.

LET'S JUST GET
THIS STUFF IN THE CAR

AND GET HOME
BEFORE DAD DOES.

WHAT?
WHAT'D I SAY?

HEY, WHERE
IS GRACE TODAY?

I DON'T KNOW.

WELL, LET ME KNOW IF
YOU NEED ANYTHING, CARA.

OH, MY GOODNESS!
DO YOU KNOW HIM?

SORT OF...
I COME HERE A LOT.

YOU' BEEN HERE WHAT --
FOR TWO WEEKS?

AND HE ALREADY KNOWS
YOUR NAME?

HE'S LIKE ONLY
THE MOST RIPPED GUY

AT GREENBRIAR,
AND TOTALLY NICE.

[PHONE VIBRATING]

(QUINN) YOU GONNA
ANSWER THAT?

NO.
IT'S NOTHING IMPORTANT.

SO DID YOU GET
YOUR NEW SCHEDULE?

YEAH, I JUST DID.

COOL, COOL.

UGH...STOCKENBURG...
SAMESIES.

SHE IS THE WORST.

AT LEAST WE CAN
SURVIVE IT TOGETHER.

WHAT A.P.
ART HISTORY?

I LIKE ART:

SKETCHING, PHOTOGRAPHY
THAT SORT OF THING.

YOU MEAN YOU TAKE
IT FOR FUN?

SKYLAR! I HAVE BEEN
WAITING FOREVER!

QUINNIE!
WHO'S THIS?

CARA.

SHE'S JUST MOVED HERE
A FEW WEEKS AGO.

SO WHAT, ARE YOU
TWO LIKE BESTIES NOW?

OH, NO! NO, NO.
WE JUST MET.

BUT, QUINN HAS BEEN
TELLING ME ALL ABOUT YOU.

APPARENTLY YOU'VE
BEEN REALLY BUSY!

EVERY YEAR, I SET
GOALS FOR MYSELF.

LAST SPRING IT WAS...
WHAT WAS IT QUINN?

STAR IN
THE SCHOOL PLAY,

LAND A RECORDING
CONTRACT,

AND BECOME STUDENT
BODY PRESIDENT.

YOU DID ALL THAT
IN JUST ONE YEAR?

AND SHE EVEN HELPED ME

BECOME STUDENT
BODY SECRETARY.

SHOOT FOR THE MOON...
LAND AMONG THE STARS.

(CARA) WOW.

[WHISPERS]
HER DAD PAID FOR
THE RECORDING SESSIONS.

HE'S LIKE LOADED.

BUT, THIS YEAR,
SENIOR YEAR,

I HAVE TO SET
EVEN BIGGER GOALS

THAN EVER BEFORE.

IF I'M GOING TO MAKE
MY MARK ON THE UNIVERSE,

I HAVE TO START BY CONQUERING
MY OWN HIGH SCHOOL FIRST.

STARTING WITH
GOAL NUMBER ONE,

THE REASON WHY
WE ARE HERE TODAY.

I WANT TO GET
A HOMECOMING DATE

WITH BRAD MICHAELS.

(QUINN)
WHAT ABOUT KEN?

I'M DONE WITH HIM.

(CARA) EASY! QUINN,
GIVE ME YOUR TRAY.

EXCUSE ME?

JUST GIVE ME
YOUR TRAY.

MUSTARD.

OH, MY GOSH!

NO!
NO WAY!

EXCUSE ME.
BRAD, IS IT?

MY FRIEND SKYLAR'S
TRAY IS DIRTY.

I'LL GET YOU
A NEW ONE.

NO, LOOK AT IT.

* [MUSIC]

* [MUSIC]

* [MUSIC]

WHAT DID HE SAY?

WORKS EVERY TIME.

YOU KNOW,
NEW GIRL,

I THINK I'M GOING
TO LIKE YOU AFTER ALL.

BUT, YOU STILL
HAVE A LOT TO LEARN.

* [MUSIC]

* [MUSIC]

HEY, YOUNG LIFE
TONIGHT 7:47.

CLUB'S TONIGHT,
SEE YOU THERE!

YOUNG LIFE
TONIGHT 7:47.

FIRST OF ALL,
THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY

AND ONE WAY ONLY
INTO THE IN CROWD.

AND YOU'RE LOOKING
AT HER.

SECONDLY, IF YOU WANT
TO GET IN WITH ME,

WELL YOUR GONNA WANT
TO STAY ON MY GOOD SIDE.

THAT HOMECOMING THING YOU DID.
THAT WAS A GREAT START.

CLUB TONIGHT
7:47 P.M.

YOU COMING?

I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

GIVE ME THAT.

YOU'LL NEVER KNOW
UNTIL YOU TRY!

LOSER.

* [MUSIC]

THIRDLY, YOU SHOULD
LEARN RIGHT NOW,

THAT IF I DON'T GO
TO SOMETHING,

IT'S PROBABLY LAME.

GOAL NUMBER ONE:
GET A HOMECOMING DATE

WITH BRAD MICHAELS,
CAPTAIN OF THE FOOTBALL TEAM.

CHECK.
THANKS TO YOU!

GOAL NUMBER TWO.
BECOME HOMECOMING QUEEN.

FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.

SOUNDS DO-ABLE.

GOAL NUMBER THREE?

PULL OFF THE BIGGEST
BADDEST SENIOR PRANK

IN THE HISTORY
OF GREENBRIAR HIGH.

LAST YEAR OUR
JUNIOR CLASS FLOAT

WAS JUST AWFUL,

SO SKYLAR ORGANIZED
A GROUP OF GUYS

WHO TRASHED THE FRESHMAN
AND SOPHOMORE FLOATS

AND MADE IT LOOK LIKE
THE SENIORS DID IT.

THEY GOT IN SOOOOOO
MUCH TROUBLE,

AND SKYLAR EVEN HAD
TO GIVE AN ADDRESS

TO THE STUDENT BODY
ABOUT THE DANGERS

OF BULLYING
AND PRANKING.

IT WAS EPIC!

WE DID SOMETHING LIKE
THAT LAST YEAR.

THERE WAS THIS KID
THAT NOBODY LIKED,

AND SO WE RAN
THIS BIG CAMPAIGN

TO GET HIM VOTED INTO
THE TALENT COMPETITION.

ONCE HE GOT IN,
WE RIGGED THE VOTES,

MADE HIM THE WINNER,

AND TAUGHT HIM
THIS RIDICULOUS

VICTORY DANCE ROUTINE.

WE MADE HIM LOOK LIKE
SUCH A FOOL

IN FRONT OF
THE ENTIRE SCHOOL!

IT WAS THE FUNNIEST
PRANK EVER.

[BELL RINGS]

HEY QUINN,
I LIKE THIS KID!

STUFF LIKE THAT
IS GENIUS.

TELL YOU WHAT.

IF YOU HELP ME PULL OFF
THE REST OF MY GOALS.

I'LL MAKE SURE YOU HAVE

THE BEST FALL SEMESTER
OF YOUR LIFE.

YOU IN?

* [MUSIC]

* [MUSIC]

* YO! YO!

* YOU THINK YOU STANDIN'
IN THE MIDDLE OF DROUGHT *

* BUT THE FLOODS AND THE RAINS
GONNA WASH YOU OUT *

* 'CAUSE A CARDBOARD HOUSE
AIN'T GONNA KEEP YOU WARM *

* YOU BETTER BUILD ON THE ROCK
AND YOU'LL WEATHER THE STORM *

* 'CAUSE IT'S ON THE LOOSE
YEAH, IT'S COMING DOWN *

* YOU BETTER BUILD YOUR HOUSE
ON SOLID GROUND *

* [MUSIC]

* THERE AIN'T NO TIME
FOR CORRALS *

* [MUSIC]

* WHEN YOU'RE LIVIN' IN
A CARDBOARD HOUSE *

NO WAY.

WRITE IT.

GIVE IT TO CARA,
SHE'S THE ART NERD.

WHAT IS THIS?

PERFECT.

[CHUCKLES]

[LAUGHTER]

[LAUGHTER]

ADAM!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

YOU KNOW...I DON'T
EVEN WANT TO KNOW,

GO OVER THERE SIT DOWN,
RIGHT NOW.

OKAY CLASS,
SETTLE DOWN!

AS YOU KNOW,
TODAY IS THE DAY

WHEN WE NOMINATE ONE GIRL
FOR THE HOMECOMING COURT.

ONCE THE COURT IS CHOSEN,

THE ENTIRE SCHOOL SELECTS
THE HOMECOMING QUEEN.

DO ANY OF YOU HAVE
ANY NOMINATIONS?

I AM GOING TO TAKE TWO,

AND AT THE END WE'RE
GOING TO VOTE FOR ONE,

HOPE THAT'S NOT
TOO HARD FOR YOU.

ANY NOMINATIONS?

I NOMINATE MY HOT
HOMECOMING DATE, SKYLAR.

GIRLFRIEND!

MY HOT GIRLFRIEND,
SKYLAR.

SHOCKER!

(TEACHER) OKAY, DOES ANYONE
SECOND SKYLAR'S NOMINATION?

ALL RIGHT WE HAVE
ONE NOMINATION.

DOES ANYONE ELSE WANT TO MAKE
A NOMINATION THIS MORNING?

YES, QUINN.

I WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE
GRACE YOUNG.

I THINK THAT HAVING
A STUDENT LIKE GRACE

ON OUR HOMECOMING COURT

WOULD BE A POSITIVE STATEMENT
TO OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY

ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE
OF ACCEPTANCE,

TOLERANCE, AND DIVERSITY.

QUINN, THAT'S
A BEAUTIFUL IDEA!

DOES SOMEONE WANT TO SECOND
GRACE'S NOMINATION?

(TEACHER)
GREAT!

(WHISPERS)
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

MAKING SURE SKYLAR
MAKES THE COURT, DUMMY.

SKYLAR'S A JERK.
VOTE FOR GRACE.

SPREAD THE WORD.

(TEACHER) OKAY,
IF EVERYONE COULD WRITE

ON THEIR PIECES OF PAPER,

MAKE YOUR CHOICES
THEN PASS THEM FORWARD.

REMEMBER YOUR VOTE
IS ANONYMOUS.

THANK YOU...
THANK YOU!

WOW! OKAY, THEN!

OUR CLASS NOMINEE
TO THE HOMECOMING COURT

IS GRACE YOUNG!

OKAY GUYS,
YOU KNOW THE DRILL.

WE NEED TO CREATE
SOME REALLY ROCKIN'

HOMECOMING POSTERS
AND DECORATIONS,

SO LET'S GET
TO WORK.

DID MRS. A.
JUST SAY "ROCKIN'"?

[CHUCKLES]

SO, LET ME GUESS.

YOUR CLASS
NOMINATED SKYLAR.

[UPSET SIGH]

- BRANDON...
- WHAT?

YOU'RE AN IDIOT.

WHAT DID I SAY?

SKYLAR GOT BEAT OUT
BY RETARD GIRL.

DUDE, DON'T SAY IT LIKE THAT.
SHE'S GOT A NAME.

AND CALLING SOMEONE
A RETARD IS NOT OKAY.

FINE.

SKYLAR AND QUINN NOMINATED
GRACE SO THAT SKYLAR WOULD WIN,

AND IT BACK-FIRED...
BIG TIME.

GRACE IS ON THE
HOMECOMING COURT?

[SIGHS] YEP, NOW
INSTEAD OF TAKING

THE HOMECOMING QUEEN,

I'M STUCK TAKING
THE DRAMA QUEEN.

YES, SHE'S DEFINITELY
THE DEFINITION OF A D.Q.,

AND YOU KNEW THAT BEFORE
YOU ASKED HER OUT.

SHE ASKED ME,
AND SHE'S HOT, SO...

SPEAKING OF HOT,
WHO ARE YOU TAKING?

YOU BETTER GET ON THAT

IF YOU WANT TO BE
PART OF OUR GROUP.

I WAS THINKING
ABOUT ASKING CARA.

CARA?! I'M PRETTY SURE
SHE'S TAKEN.

REALLY?

WHY WOULDN'T SHE BE?
SHE'S SMOKING.

I'D TRADE CARA
FOR SKYLAR ANY DAY.

SHE'S HOT WITHOUT
THE ISSUES.

HEY, WHAT KIND OF SHOES
DO GIRLS WEAR?

ISSUES!

SHE'S COMING.

NOW, WHERE WERE WE?

DAD!

SEVENTEEN YEARS,

AND YOU'RE STILL FALLING
FOR THAT TRICK.

THIS CAME
FOR YOU TODAY.

IT'S FROM MADISON.

PERFECT.

I'M SO SORRY,
CARA.

EH, I KNEW IT
WAS OVER.

I JUST DIDN'T WANT
TO ADMIT IT.

HEY, FORGET ABOUT THE MADISONS
OF THE WORLD, ALRIGHT.

FOCUS ON THE FRIENDS
WHO LOVE YOU FOR YOU.

OKAY?

CARA!!

CARA!
IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU!

WE HAVEN'T SEEN MUCH OF YOU
AROUND SINCE SCHOOL STARTED!

OH, WELL, YOU KNOW,

I'VE BEEN BUSY WITH
CLASSES AND STUFF.

BUT, IT'S GREAT
TO SEE YOU HERE TODAY!

WE WERE JUST GETTING
READY TO LEAVE,

BUT I KNOW GRACE WOULD LOVE
TO STAY AND CATCH UP WITH YOU.

I KNOW! MAYBE GRACE
COULD STAY AWHILE,

AND YOU TWO COULD
WALK HOME TOGETHER

AND HAVE SOME
"GIRL TIME",

AND I'LL RUN A FEW
QUICK ERRANDS.

UH...SURE.

THANK YOU!
THANK YOU!

OKAY, OKAY, GRACE.
I'M EXCITED TOO.

WELL THANK YOU, CARA.
THIS IS WONDERFUL.

YOU GIRLS ENJOY
YOURSELVES NOW!

SO, DID YOU HEAR THAT
OUR CLASS NOMINATED YOU

AS HOMECOMING PRINCESS?

A PRINCESS?
ME?

I CAN GO
TO HOMECOMING?

OF COURSE, IT'S A DANCE
FOR THE WHOLE SCHOOL.

DO YOU DANCE?

OH!
I LOVE TO DANCE.

AND I'M A GREAT SINGER,
TOO!

LIKE ON AMERICAN IDOL!

OH, YOU ARE?

I DANCE AT YOUTH GROUP
WITH BRANDON.

WANNA SEE ME
BUST A MOVE?

SURE. BUST ME
YOUR BEST MOVE.

OKAY, BEYONCE!
I GET IT!

YOU CAN BUST A MOVE!
COME ON.

SO TELL ME ABOUT
THIS YOUNG LIFE?

I KEEP HEARING
ABOUT IT,

AND I WAS WONDERING
WHAT IT WAS?

IT'S FOR ANYONE WHO
IS IN HIGH SCHOOL.

IT'S SO MUCH FUN.

WE DANCE,
WE SING SONGS,

AND WE HAVE
PIZZA PARTIES!

AND IN FOUR
WEDNESDAYS...

YOUNG LIFE IS GOING TO HAVE
A PIZZA PARTY AT MY HOUSE.

I'M THE SPECIAL SPEAKER.

THEY LET YOU BE
THE SPEAKER?

SHOULDN'T THAT BE THE PRIEST
OR WHATEVER IT'S CALLED?

I'M JUST GIVING
MY TESTIMONY.

WHAT'S THAT?

MY STORY!

ABOUT HOW JESUS CAME
INTO MY HEART

AND CHANGED
MY WHOLE LIFE!

YOU SHOULD COME.

IF YOU COME, YOU CAN
HEAR MY TESTIMONY

AND MEET ALL
OF MY FRIENDS!

WELL, I'LL PROBABLY
BE TOO BUSY

WITH HOMEWORK
OR SOMETHING.

YOU REALLY SHOULD
COME YOU KNOW.

IT'S AWESOME.

BRANDON!

HEY, GRACE.

YOU SMELL FUNNY.

REALLY, LIKE WHAT?

SPICY CHICKEN
SANDWICHES AND SWEAT.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE
SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING?

NOPE...
IT'S YOUR LUCKY DAY!

NO, MY SHIFT
JUST ENDED

SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE
SMOOTHIES THEY'RE ON THE HOUSE.

GUESS WHAT, BRANDON?
I'M A HOMECOMING PRINCESS.

BUT I DON'T HAVE
ANYONE TO GO WITH.

OH, I'M SURE SOMEONE
WILL ASK YOU.

NO.
THEY WON'T.

NO ONE HAS EVER
ASKED ME TO HOMECOMING.

HEY! WATCH WHERE
YOU'RE GOING!

HEY, I GOT IT,
MAN.

GRACE!
STOP CRYING!

(BRANDON) HEY GRACE,
IT'S OKAY, IT'S ALRIGHT,

WE'RE GOING TO FIX IT,
ALRIGHT?

YOU GOT YOUR MEDS?
YEAH, OKAY.

BRANDON, HELP!
I CAN'T GET HER TO STOP CRYING!

HEY, GRACE, SWEETHEART
IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY,

WERE GOING TO FIX IT.

DO YOU HAVE YOUR MEDS WITH YOU?
YEAH, OKAY.

[CRYING]

HEY, PRINCESS GRACE.

DO YOU WANT
ANOTHER SMOOTHIE?

WHAT'S WRONG, HUH?

WILL YOU STOP CRYING
IF I GET YOU A DATE

TO HOMECOMING?

YOU WILL?

HERE IS YOUR INHALER.

BUT NO ONE WILL
WANT TO TAKE ME.

I DON'T EVEN
HAVE A DATE.

YOU DON'T?

HEY, GRACE.

IF YOU PROMISE TO STOP CRYING
AND TAKE YOUR MEDS,

ME AND CARA WILL GET YOU
A DATE FOR HOMECOMING.

A DATE FOR ME?

YEAH.
FOR THE HOMECOMING DANCE.

TWO FRIDAYS
FROM NOW.

BUT YOU HAVE
TO STOP CRYING,

AND PROMISES
TO TAKE YOUR MEDS.

HERE. YOU CAN HAVE
MY SMOOTHIE.

PROMISE?

CROSS MY HEART.

PROMISE.

WHY'D YOU PROMISE
HER THAT?

WHERE IN THE WORLD ARE YOU
GOING TO FIND A DATE FOR GRACE?

RELAX.
I KNOW JUST THE GUY.

[GUITAR STRUMMING]

[GUITAR STRUMMING]

HEY BEN!

HEY BEN!

BEN! BUDDY!
CAN YOU STOP FOR A SECOND?

READ THE SIGN,
BRANDON.

I'VE READ THE SIGN, MAN.
I KNOW, I KNOW. I'M OLD.

BUT, I NEED
YOUR LOVE ADVICE.

IS THE DOCTOR IN?

HOLD ON LET ME
GET MY SHADES.

THE DOCTOR OF LOVE
IS IN.

WELL THERE'S THIS
NEW GIRL AT SCHOOL.

IS SHE HOT?

YES.

IS SHE NICE?

I THINK SO.

IS SHE A BEATLES FAN?

YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW.
I'LL HAVE TO ASK HER.

BUT SHE PROBABLY IS,

BECAUSE WHO'S NOT
A BEATLE FAN, RIGHT?

ANYWAY, SHE DOESN'T HAVE
A DATE TO HOMECOMING YET,

AND SHE'S FRIENDS
WITH GRACE,

WHO WOULD BE
A PERFECT DATE FOR YOU.

WHAT ABOUT ELVIS?

BEN, DO YOU WANT
TO GO WITH ME OR NOT?

DOES GRACE
LOVE ELVIS?

DUDE. WHO CARES?

YOU'VE SEEN GRACE'S
DANCING SKILLS, RIGHT?

YOU KNOW SHE CAN
BUST A MOVE.

THAT'S TRUE.
SHE CAN BUST A MOVE.

SO WILL YOU
HELP ME OUT?

WE'LL NEED BALLOONS
AND STICKERS.

STICKERS?

WHERE'RE YOU GOING
WITH THAT, BUDDY?

TRUST ME,
BRANDON.

I AM THE DOCTOR
OF LOVE.

THAT'S TRUE.

AND CHOCOLATES.

I HEAR THE LADIES
LOVE CHOCOLATE.

THEY DO.

SO IF WE GET
BALLOONS, STICKERS,

AND LOTS OF CHOCOLATE,

DO YOU THINK
WE'LL HAVE A CHANCE?

MAYBE. BUT YOU'LL
NEED A GORILLA.

A GORILLA?

IT'S HOT IN HERE,
BRANDON.

THIS WAS YOUR IDEA,
LOVE DOCTOR.

IT'S THE
DOCTOR OF LOVE.

RIGHT.

WHO CAME JUST TO SEE
YOU, GRACE!

A GORILLA!

WHAT'S THIS
ALL ABOUT?

I DON'T GET IT.

WELL APPARENTLY
CARA CAN'T READ WELL.

GRACE, CAN YOU
HELP HER OUT?

GRACE YOUNG...
HEY! THAT'S MY NAME!

AND CARA,
THAT'S YOU!

IT SURE IS.

NOW READ
THE OTHER SIDE.

COME TO THE BYTE CAFé TONIGHT.
7:47 P.M.

IS THAT SOMETHING

YOU CAN FIT INTO
YOUR SCHEDULE, GRACE?

WHAT ABOUT YOU,
CARA?

(STUDENT)
OH, MY GOSH!

YOU TOTALLY
HAVE TO SAY YES!

THIS IS SO ROMANTIC.

SURE.
WHY NOT?

(BRANDON)
PASTOR MARK!

THANK YOU SO MUCH

FOR GETTING EVERYBODY
TO COME OUT!

NO PROBLEM, MAN.

HEY THIS IS GOING
TO BE AMAZING!

IT'S GOING
TO BE AWESOME!

ALRIGHT THAT'S
THE LAST STICKER.

(BRANDON) HEY, DO YOU HAVE
THE TWO SPECIAL BALLOONS?

YEAH!

SHE'S GOING
TO LOVE IT.

THESE ARE PERFECT.
I'LL GIVE THEM TO BEN.

THEY'RE COMING!

SURPRISE!!!!

WHAT IS GOING ON?

WELL, IT SEEMS LIKE
CARA AND GRACE

HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS HERE,
WHO WANT TO TELL THEM

HOW MUCH THEY LOVE
AND APPRECIATE THEM.

AND TWO SPECIAL FRIENDS,
IN PARTICULAR.

GRACE, YOU STILL DON'T
HAVE A DATE TO HOMECOMING?

AND CARA, I HEAR
YOU ARE STILL

AN UNCLAIMED TREASURE
TOO, RIGHT?

WELL, THERE ARE TWO
HANDSOME DUDES HERE

WHO WANT TO TAKE YOU.

BUT TO FIND OUT,
YOU AND ALL YOUR FRIENDS

ARE GOING TO HAVE TO POP
ALL OF THESE BALLOONS,

BECAUSE INSIDE
ONE OF THEM

IS A SPECIAL MESSAGE
JUST FOR YOU!

YOU READY
TO START POPPING?

ALL RIGHT EVERYONE!

LET'S HELP THESE LADIES
POP THESE BALLOONS!

ON YOUR MARK...
GET SET...GO!

(BRANDON) HEY, DID ANYONE
FIND THE MESSAGE?

NO?
NOBODY?

NO ONE?

REALLY, THAT'S STRANGE.

MAYBE THAT'S BECAUSE THERE'S
STILL TWO BALLOONS STILL LEFT!

[WHISPERING]

WHAT'S THAT?

SPECIAL BALLOONS
FOR CARA AND GRACE?

I GOT IT, BUDDY.

AS YOU KNOW,
GORILLAS CAN'T TALK.

BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN
THEY CAN'T WRITE POETRY.

THIS GORILLA IS SO SMART

THAT HE CAME UP
WITH THIS WHOLE IDEA,

AND WROTE THIS POEM JUST
FOR YOU GUYS ALL BY HIMSELF.

DEAR GRACE AND CARA,

WE LOVE YOUR SMILES,
WE THINK YOU'RE GREAT.

WILL YOU PLEASE BE
OUR HOMECOMING DATES?

LOVE, BRANDON AND BEN.

I THINK YOU ARE
GREAT TOO, BEN.

THANK YOU.

THIS WILL BE THE BEST
HOMECOMING DATE EVER!

THANK YOU,
BRANDON!

YOU'RE WELCOME!

CARA? WILL YOU GO
TO HOMECOMING WITH ME?

OF COURSE.

YOU DID IT!

YOU GOT ME
A HOMECOMING DATE!

I LOVE YOU, CARA.

YOU ARE THE
BEST FRIEND EVER.

I CAN'T WAIT TO BE
IN YOUR GROUP!

THAT WAS
SO MUCH FUN.

YOU WERE AWESOME
IN THERE.

IT TAKES A SPECIAL PERSON
TO LOOK BEYOND THE OUTSIDE

AND TREAT PEOPLE
WITH DISABILITIES

AS FRIENDS
OR EQUALS.

YOU'RE A NATURAL.

NOT REALLY.

THE WAY YOU AND GRACE
HANG OUT TOGETHER?

I THINK
THAT'S AMAZING!

MOST GIRLS ARE TOO BUSY
THINKING ABOUT THEMSELVES

TO CARE ABOUT OTHERS...
BUT NOT YOU.

WHEN I SAW THAT, I KNEW
YOU WERE SPECIAL.

NO SERIOUSLY.

I'M REALLY NOT THAT
NICE OF A PERSON.

I DON'T
BELIEVE THAT.

BACK HOME-
WHERE I'M FROM-

I KIND OF HAVE
A DIFFERENT REPUTATION.

MY FRIENDS AND I
USE TO PLAY REALLY,

REALLY MEAN PRANKS
ON PEOPLE.

EVEN PEOPLE WHO
COULDN'T DO ANYTHING

TO CHANGE THE WAY
THEY WERE.

LIKE GRACE.

WELL, THAT'S NOT
THE PERSON I'VE SEEN.

PEOPLE CAN CHANGE.

I HOPE SO.

SO...I HAVE SOMETHING
I NEED TO TELL YOU GUYS.

BUT PROMISE YOU
WON'T GET MAD.

YOU KNOW THAT YOU
CAN TELL US ANYTHING.

ANYTHING.

RIGHT QUINN?

WELL, THE GOOD NEWS
IS BRANDON

ASKED ME TO
HOMECOMING.

THAT'S AWESOME!

BUT, WE KINDA DID
SOMETHING REALLY DUMB.

ARE YOU PREGNANT?

NO! SERIOUSLY,
I'M NOT PREGNANT?

IT'S NOT THAT
KIND OF DUMB.

OH.

WELL, YOU KNOW GRACE?

YOU MEAN THE GIRL WE ALL
ACCIDENTALLY NOMINATED

TO HOMECOMING COURT?

YEAH.
I KNOW GRACE.

WELL, WHEN BRANDON
ASKED ME TO HOMECOMING,

HE WAS WITH THAT GUY
THAT WORKS WITH YOU...

WHAT DID YOU DO.

I...WELL BRANDON, HE...

HE AND BEN ASKED US
OUT TOGETHER.

SO NOW GRACE IS KIND OF
IN OUR HOMECOMING GROUP.

HE DID WHAT?

YEA! I KNOW!
I KNOW!

I TOLD YOU
IT WAS DUMB!

I THINK GRACE
IS RUBBING OFF ON YOU.

HEY LOOK IT WAS LIKE
THIS WHOLE BIG ROMANTIC

SURPRISE THING IN
FRONT OF HALF THE SCHOOL!

I DIDN'T REALLY
HAVE A CHOICE.

I MEAN, YOU SAW
THE GORILLA, RIGHT?

EVERYONE SAW
THE GORILLA.

THAT WAS PRETTY CUTE.

NO.
NO WAY.

I DON'T CARE
HOW CUTE IT WAS.

DO WE LOOK LIKE

THE MAKE-A-WISH
FOUNDATION TO YOU?

I'M NOT RIDING ON A SHORT BUS
TO HOMECOMING.

I'M GWACE.
I'M WETARTED.

SHE'S NOT DEAF,
YOU IDIOT.

SHE'S A MONGOLOID.
LIKE THIS.

THAT SO MESSED UP
YOU GUYS.

FORGET IT.
SHE WON'T REMEMBER.

YES, SHE WILL.

SHE'S A REAL PERSON WITH
REAL FEELINGS, YOU KNOW.

SHE IS NOT COMING!

LET'S JUST DITCH THEM BOTH
FROM OUR GROUP.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

CAN'T... BRAD AND BRANDON
ARE LIKE TWIN BROTHERS

FROM DIFFERENT MOTHERS.

IF BRANDON ISN'T
IN OUR GROUP,

YOU LOSE YOUR DATE,
TOO.

FINE, CARA...
YOU WIN.

THEY CAN BOTH COME
AND BE IN OUR GROUP.

WHAT?

RELAX, QUINN.
CARA'S RIGHT.

IT WILL BE
TOTALLY FINE.

[SIGHS]

HEY BRAD AND BRANDON,
COULD YOU GUYS

GET SOME MORE GLUE
AND TAPE?

WE'RE TOTALLY
OUT AGAIN.

AND GLITTER.

PRETTY PLEASE?

YEA SURE.

THIS IS ACTUALLY
PRETTY COOL OF CARA

TO DRAW THESE UP
FOR US.

I KNOW RIGHT?

I KIND OF FEEL BAD

FOR WHAT WE ARE
ABOUT TO DO.

REALLY?

NO. I MEAN, WHO
DOES SHE THINK SHE IS

RUINING MY ENTIRE
SENIOR YEAR?

SHE'S HERE FOR LIKE
WHAT TWO DAYS

AND CHANGES UP
THE ENTIRE GROUP.

AND NOW WE'RE GOING
WITH NOT JUST ONE,

BUT TWO RETARDS
IN OUR HOMECOMING GROUP!

IT'S HUMILIATING,
AND SHE SHOULD KNOW BETTER.

WELL, EVEN IF YOU
CAN'T BE QUEEN,

DOESN'T MEAN YOU
STILL CAN'T PULL OFF

THE BIGGEST
BADDEST PRANK

IN HISTORY
OF GREENBRIAR HIGH.

AND WE WILL.

DID YOU MAKE
THE FLYERS?

AND I CONVINCED MRS. A,

THAT THE SENIOR CLASS
SECRETARY SHOULD BE

IN CHARGE OF TALLYING
THE HOMECOMING VOTES.

PERFECT.

THE BEST PART IS,
IT'S CARA'S OWN PRANK,

AND SHE WON'T EVEN
SEE IT COMING.

[CHUCKLES]

(SKYLAR)
VOTE FOR GRACE!

GRACE YOUNG
FOR HOMECOMING QUEEN!

VOTE WITH
YOUR HEART!

WHAT IS THIS?

IF SKYLAR CAN'T WIN,
WE'LL MAKE SURE GRACE DOES.

I MEAN, SHE'S IN OUR
HOMECOMING GROUP, RIGHT?

I DON'T KNOW.

SERIOUSLY, CARA, WEREN'T
YOU THE ONE SAYING

THAT GRACE WAS
A REAL PERSON

WITH REAL FEELINGS.

I MEAN, WHAT GIRL WOULDN'T WANT
TO BE HOMECOMING QUEEN?

VOTE FOR GRACE!

THING TO DO.

I MEAN, GRACE HAS NEVER
BEEN TO A DANCE BEFORE,

AND, LIKE SKYLAR SAID,

"WHAT GIRL DOESN'T WANT
TO BE HOMECOMING QUEEN?"

I DON'T TRUST SKYLAR.

WHAT? NO!

SKYLAR WANTS
TO HELP.

SHE WANTS TO BE
PART OF THIS.

NO...

WELL, ACTUALLY, IT WAS
MOSTLY MY IDEAL.

BUT... I MEAN, WHY SHOULDN'T
PEOPLE VOTE FOR GRACE?

OKAY. IF IT'S NOT SOME TYPICAL
SKYLAR PLOT, THEN I'LL HELP.

VOTE FOR GRACE.

VOTE FOR GRACE.

VOTE FOR GRACE YOUNG
FOR HOMECOMING.

VOTE FOR OUR FRIEND GRACE!

HEY, VOTE FOR GRACE,

CARA!

(MOM) GRACE! GRACE, GET BACK
HERE WE NEED TO FINISH!

SHE'S INSISTING
ON BUTTERFLY WINGS,

I HAVE NEVER SEEN
HER SO EXCITED

IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.

BUTTERFLY WINGS
MIGHT BE A BIT MUCH.

I DARE YOU
TO TELL HER THAT!

COME IN! COME IN!

NOW, DON'T MIND ALL
THAT MEDICAL STUFF.

GRACE SOMETIMES HAS
A HARD TIME BREATHING,

WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS

BECAUSE,
LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE

WITH DOWN SYNDROME,
SHE HAS A HEART DEFECT.

BUT, WE'RE NOT GOING
WORRY ABOUT THAT

WE'RE GOING
TO TAKE GOOD CARE

OF THE ONE GOD GAVE US
UNTIL YOU GET A NEW ONE.

RIGHT GRACE?

OKAY, GRACE YOU ARE
GOING TO SIT HERE

AND CARA IS GOING
TO DO YOUR MAKE-UP.

THANK YOU.

THIS MEANS MORE
TO ME AND GRACE.

WELL GRACE, WHAT ARE
YOUR FAVORITE COLORS?

I WANT TO LOOK LIKE
A BUTTERFLY PRINCESS.

A BUTTERFLY PRINCESS,
HUH?

WELL, MAYBE
WE CAN GIVE YOU

SOME EXTRA LONG
EYELASHES OR SOMETHING.

NO. I WANT TO LOOK LIKE
A BUTTERFLY PRINCESS.

WITH PINK AND GOLD
AND GREEN

LIKE A RAINBOW PRINCESS.

CARA, CARA!
WHAT WAS THAT?

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU?

HOW COULD ANYONE DO THAT
TO ANOTHER HUMAN BEING?

YOU SAID YOU
HAD CHANGED.

I HAD NOTHING TO DO
WITH THAT!

IT WAS QUINN
AND SKYLAR.

YOU HAVE
TO BELIEVE ME!

NO, NO, I'M SURE
QUINN AND SKYLAR

HAD PLENTY
TO DO WITH IT.

YOU CAN'T
PLAY INNOCENT.

YOUR CLASS NOMINATED HER
FOR HOMECOMING.

AND THEN YOU STAGED
THAT WHOLE CAMPAIGN

TO GET HER
TO BE QUEEN.

AND THEN YOU
BRING HER ON STAGE

TO SING SO EVERYONE COULD
HAVE A GOOD LAUGH?

HOW CAN YOU...NO!
YOU KNOW WHAT?!

IF I KEEP
TALKING TO YOU...

I'M GOING TO SAY SOMETHING
THAT GOING TO REGRET...

LEAVE ME ALONE,

AND STAY AWAY FROM ME

BRANDON,

I SHOULD HAVE
SPOKEN UP.

I SHOULD HAVE
DONE SOMETHING.

ME TOO, CARA,
ME TOO.

CARA,

[CHUCKLES]

WELL IT LOOKS LIKE

WE'RE ALL GOING TO BE
A LITTLE LATE TODAY.

WE'VE GOT QUITE A LARGE MESS
TO CLEAN UP.

[KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK]

MRS. HARRIS?

YES.

I'M SHARON JARVIS
WE MET...

(MRS. HARRIS) YES, THE OTHER
NIGHT HOMECOMING,

PICTURES AND THE LIMO.

RIGHT, WE NEED TO TALK
TO YOU ABOUT SKYLAR.

WELL, COME ON IN.

WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?

THE GIRLS...WE...

WE WANTED TO APOLOGIZE
TO YOU,

AND TO GRACE.

WE BROUGHT ROSES
FROM S.G.A.

AND BALLOONS.

CARA SAID THAT GRACE
LIKES ROSES AND BALLOONS.

WE'RE REALLY SORRY,
MRS. YOUNG.

WHY DON'T YOU GIVE ME
THE ROSES,

AND YOU GO
BACK HOME.

CAN WE SEE HER?

THIS IS THE INTENSIVE
CARE UNIT.

FAMILY ONLY.

(SKYLAR)
ICU?

I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST
AN ASTHMA ATTACK.

SKYLAR!

NO.

IT IS MUCH MORE
SERIOUS THAN THAT.

GRACE HAS NEEDED A NEW HEART
FOR A LONG, LONG TIME

AND WE WERE HOPING IT WOULD
LAST A LITTLE LONGER, BUT...

HER OLD HEART
IS GIVING OUT

AND WE STILL HAVEN'T
FOUND A DONOR.

MRS. YOUNG, YOU
SHOULD KNOW

THAT CARA REALLY DOES
CARE ABOUT GRACE.

I...DIDN'T...
I MEAN I WOULDN'T...

SHE'S MY FRIEND.

FRIEND?

YOU CALL YOURSELF
A FRIEND

AFTER WHAT YOU DID
TO HER?

SKYLAR HAS SOMETHING
TO TELL YOU.

IT WAS ALL MY IDEA,
OKAY?

CARA HAD NOTHING
TO DO WITH IT.

I NEVER WANTED
TO HURT GRACE.

YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME.

WHETHER I BELIEVE YOU
OR NOT DOESN'T MATTER.

YOU DID HURT HER.
ALL OF YOU.

I CAN'T DEAL
WITH THIS.

SKYLAR!

I'M SO, SO SORRY...

HERE.

I HAVE TO EXPLAIN
EVERYTHING TO GRACE.

I HAVE TO MAKE
THIS RIGHT.

JUST ONE SECOND.
PLEASE?

I THINK YOU'VE
DONE ENOUGH.

(CARA) CAN I JUST GIVE HER
THE ROSES AND BALLOONS?

MRS. YOUNG...

WE REALLY NEED
TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT HERE.

FINE,
YOU CAN SEE HER.

BUT CARA,
IF YOU DO ANYTHING,

ANYTHING, TO HURT
MY BABY GIRL...

I WON'T, I WON'T
I PROMISE.

(MRS. YOUNG)
IT'S ROOM 233

THANK YOU,
MRS. YOUNG.

* [MUSIC]

* [MUSIC]

GRACE.
IT'S ME, CARA.

OH, CARA!
I MISSED YOU SO MUCH.

I BROUGHT YOU
ROSES AND BALLOONS.

I LOVE THEM,
AND I LOVE YOU.

YOU'RE THE BEST
FRIEND EVER.

THANKS FOR COMING
TO SEE ME.

ANY BUTTERFLIES YET?

NOT YET,
BUT SOON.

THEY'RE SLEEPING.
CARA?

YES.

IF THEY WAKE UP BEFORE
I GET OUT OF THE HOSPITAL,

WILL YOU GIVE
MY TALK FOR ME?

WILL YOU TELL EVERYONE
ABOUT THE BUTTERFLIES?

GRACE DON'T
TALK LIKE THAT.

YOU'LL BE OUT
OF HERE SOON.

BRANDON SAID THAT EVEN THOUGH
PEOPLE WERE LAUGHING AT ME,

THAT I REALLY WAS
HOMECOMING QUEEN.

YOU SURE WERE.

HE SAID I WON BECAUSE
MY FRIENDS VOTED FOR ME.

I'M A TERRIBLE FRIEND.

I'M SO SORRY EVERYONE
LAUGHED AT YOU, GRACE.

THAT WASN'T SUPPOSED
TO HAPPEN.

THAT'S OKAY,
CARA.

NO, IT'S NOT OKAY.

NO ONE SHOULD EVER
BE MADE FUN OF

FOR BEING THE WAY
THEY ARE.

CAN YOU EVER
FORGIVE ME?

I'M YOUR FRIEND.
THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS DO.

JESUS FORGAVE ME.

SO, OF COURSE,
I FORGIVE YOU.

DON'T CRY, CARA.
YOU ARE FORGIVEN.

EVERYTHING IS ALL
BETTER NOW.

DON'T CRY.
PROMISE?

CROSS MY HEART.

HERE, GRACE.

THIS IS SOMETHING I SHOULD HAVE
GIVEN TO YOU A LONG TIME AGO,

BECAUSE YOU WE'RE THE FIRST
REAL FRIEND I HAVE EVER HAD.

SEE? IT MATCHES MINE,
AND SAYS, "ST ENDS."

WHEN YOU PUT
THE TWO PIECES TOGETHER...

IT SAYS, "BEST FRIENDS."

BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT
YOU ARE TO ME.

YOU'RE THE
BEST FRIEND EVER.

NO, GRACE.
YOU'RE THE BEST FRIEND EVER.

I'M GOING TO SLEEP NOW
AND I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU, TOO.

ARE THAT IT IS COSTLY

"IN TERMS OF HUMAN EFFORT,
COMPASSION, ENERGY,

"AND FINITE RESOURCES
SUCH AS MONEY,

"TO CARE FOR INDIVIDUALS
WITH HANDICAPS.

"PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT YET
PARENTS SHOULD ASK THEMSELVES

"IF THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO
INFLICT SUCH BURDENS ON OTHERS,

"HOWEVER WILLING
THEY ARE THEMSELVES

"TO TAKE THEIR SHARE OF
THE BURDEN IN THE BEGINNING."

THIS PHILOSOPHY
HAS BEEN ECHOED

THROUGHOUT MOST SO-CALLED
ADVANCED CIVILIZATIONS.

IN FACT,
BECAUSE OF THIS PHILOSOPHY,

OVER 90 PERCENT OF DOWN
SYNDROME BABIES ARE ABORTED

BEFORE THEY EVER HAVE A CHANCE
TO TAKE A BREATH.

BUT, WE ARE HERE TODAY

BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IN THE
WORDS OF I CORINTHIANS 1:27:

"THAT GOD CHOSE THE FOOLISH
THINGS OF THIS WORLD

"TO SHAME THE WISE;

"GOD CHOSE THE WEAK THINGS
OF THIS WORLD

TO SHAME THE STRONG."

AND WE ARE HERE BECAUSE
ONE OF THE WEAK THINGS

ONE OF THE LEAST IN THIS WORLD,
GRACE ELIZABETH YOUNG,

TOUCHED OUR LIVES WITH
THE BRIGHTNESS OF HER STRENGTH.

AND CHANGED OUR LIVES FOREVER

WITH THE LIGHT OF JESUS
SHINING IN HER SMILE.

LET'S PRAY.

CARA! CARA!
HOLD ON JUST ONE SECOND?

I HAVE SOMETHING TO GIVE YOU.
HOLD ON.

GRACE WANTED YOU
TO HAVE THESE.

SHE DID?

BUT I...

SHE WAS VERY CONCERNED
ABOUT THEM

AND SHE SAID, YOU WOULD
KNOW WHAT TO DO.

I BURIED HER IN THE OTHER
HALF OF THAT NECKLACE.

I HOPE THAT'S OKAY.

THAT'S MORE THAN OKAY.

CARA, YOU
ARE FORGIVEN.

PIZZA PARTY TONIGHT, 7:47,
GRACE YOUNG'S HOUSE.

YOU COMING?

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU'LL NEVER KNOW
UNTIL YOU TRY!

MAYBE, WE'LL SEE.

GOING TO DO
MY HOMEWORK, MOM.

SOUNDS GOOD.

GRACE.

MOM!
WHAT TIME IS IT?

(MOM)
7:45 ISH... WHY?

CARA!
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

DON'T WORRY MOM, I'M JUST
GOING TO GRACE'S HOUSE.

I'LL BE BACK IN
LESS THAN AN HOUR.

THERE'S SOMETHING
I'VE GOT TO DO.

[CHATTER]

[CHATTER]

CARA! I AM SO GLAD
YOU COULD MAKE IT!

I DIDN'T KNOW SO MANY
PEOPLE FROM SCHOOL

CAME OUT TO THIS.

YEAH! IT'S SO MUCH FUN,
AND EVERYBODY'S SO NICE.

JUST WAIT.
YOU'LL LOVE IT.

OKAY GUYS WE'RE GONNA
GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED.

AS SOME OF YOU KNOW

GRACE WAS SUPPOSED TO GIVE
HER TESTIMONY TONIGHT,

BUT, I THOUGHT...

MAY I SAY SOMETHING?

UM...

IT'S ABOUT GRACE.

IT'S SOMETHING
SHE ASKED ME TO DO.

I KNOW I'M NEW HERE,
AND ALL OF YOU THINK

THAT EVERYTHING I DID
AT HOMECOMING

WAS MEANT TO HURT GRACE.

BUT ACTUALLY GRACE WAS
A REAL TRUE FRIEND TO ME.

BEFORE SHE DIED ALL
GRACE COULD TALK ABOUT

WAS HER FRIENDS HERE
AT YOUNG LIFE.

AND AS MUCH AS SHE WAS LOOKING
FORWARD TO HOMECOMING.

I THINK SHE WAS LOOKING
FORWARD TO HAVING YOU

ALL HERE AT HER HOUSE
MOST OF ALL.

I HADN'T COME TO YOUNG LIFE
BEFORE TONIGHT BECAUSE...

WELL...I WAS AFRAID OF WHAT
A FEW PEOPLE THOUGHT OF ME.

BUT I WAS WRONG.

I WAS LOOKING FOR THE WRONG
KIND OF FRIENDSHIP,

WHEN GRACE KEPT TRYING
TO SHOW AND TELL ME

WHAT TRUE FRIENDSHIP
SHOULD LOOK LIKE ALL ALONG.

THESE ARE GRACE'S BUTTERFLIES.

WHEN I FIRST LOOKED AT THEM,

ALL I COULD SEE WAS HOW BROWN
AND UGLY AND HAIRY THEY WERE.

BUT GRACE DIDN'T
SEE THEM THAT WAY.

SHE KNEW THAT IF
YOU ONLY LOOK AT

WHAT SOMETHING LOOKS
LIKE ON THE OUTSIDE,

YOU CAN MISS THE TRUE
BEAUTY ON THE INSIDE.

I'M REALLY SORRY
FOR NOT SEEING THE WORLD

THROUGH GRACE'S EYES...
THROUGH GOD'S EYES, I GUESS.

I'M THE UGLY CATERPILLAR
AND GRACE IS THE BUTTERFLY.

AND I SURE HOPE
THAT ONE DAY

YOU CAN SEE THAT MY
HEART IS DIFFERENT NOW.

BECAUSE GRACE SHOWED ME WHAT
TRUE FORGIVENESS LOOKS LIKE.

WHAT TRUE FRIENDSHIP
LOOKS LIKE.
