- AND SO THE PEN
BEGAT THE PRINTING PRESS,

AND THE PRINTING PRESS
BEGAT THE LINOTYPE MACHINE,

AND TODAY ENTIRE EPICS
ARE SPAWNED INTERACTIVELY

VIA THE WEB AND NEVER SEE
THE PRINTED PAGE AT ALL.

- UNFORTUNATELY, NONE OF OUR
TEXTBOOKS ARE AMONG THEM.

- YOU SEE, THE MESSAGE
A PIECE OF WRITING DELIVERS

IS INFLUENCED BY THE MEDIUM
IN WHICH IT IS CONVEYED.

BUT TODAY'S PROGRESSIVE
COMMUNICATORS ASK,

"WHY STOP AT JUST MEDIUM?
WHY NOT GO FOR"...KEVIN?

- MEDIUM... RARE?

- NO, KEVIN, ACTUALLY,

I WAS LOOKING FOR "MEDIA,"
MULTIMEDIA!

WHICH BRINGS ME
TO OUR EXCITING ASSIGNMENT.

- ISN'T "EXCITING ASSIGNMENT"
A CONTRADICTION IN TERMS?

- I DON'T KNOW.

LET'S ASK
OUR INSPIRING INSTRUCTOR.

- YOU'RE ALL
GOING TO EXPERIENCE

THE CREATIVE POWER
OF MULTIMEDIA.

YOU'LL FORM TEAMS
TO CREATE A WORK

OF YOUR CHOICE
USING THE POWER OF COMPUTING

TO COMBINE WORDS,
IMAGES, AND SOUND.

YOU CAN USE THE SCHOOL'S
COMPUTERS OR YOUR OWN.

ISN'T IT A THRILLING IDEA?
JANE?

- MM-HMM.

IN FACT, MAY I GO
TO THE GIRLS' ROOM

AND DOWN SOME TRANQUILIZERS?

- OH, NO, TRANQUILIZERS?

JANE, HAVE YOU CONSIDERED
HOMEOPATHY?

- I'M GONNA STICK WITH GUYS
FOR NOW, BUT THANKS FOR ASKING.

I HAVE A GOOD FEELING ABOUT
THIS MULTIMEDIA THING, TEAMMATE.

- THAT'S THE NASTIEST NAME
ANYONE'S EVER CALLED ME.

- IF WE GET ANYTHING
ABOVE A "C,"

I'LL GET OFF ACADEMIC PROBATION

AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY
ABOUT TAKING LANGUAGE ARTS OVER,

AND DARIA MORGENDORFFER
DOES NOT GET "C" s.

- WELL, I COULD MAKE
AN EXCEPTION.

- COME ON, THIS IS GONNA BE FUN:
YOU DOING WORDS,

ME PICTURES.

IT'S EXCITING.

- OH, YEAH, VERY EXCITING.

- I KNOW WHAT
WOULD MAKE IT EXCITING.

- WE DO THE WHOLE THING
WHILE WALKING OVER HOT COALS?

- HOW ABOUT WE ADD
A LITTLE MUSIC TO THE MIX?

- WHAT'S SO EXCITING
ABOUT THAT?

- WHAT'S EXCITING IS
THE PARTICULAR MUSICIAN

I HAVE IN MIND.

- OH, NO.
- COME ON, DARIA.

TRENT WILL LOVE
DOING SOME COMPUTER MUSIC.

IT'LL SATISFY THE SECRET
TECHNO DANCE FREAK

HIDING BENEATH
THAT COOL ALTERNATIVE EXTERIOR.

- I DON'T THINK I WANT
TO MEET THAT TECHNO DANCE FREAK.

- SURE, YOU DO.

WE'LL ASK HIM AT
THE MYSTIC SPIRAL GIG TONIGHT.

- THIS DANCE FREAK
DOESN'T WEAR SPANDEX, DOES HE?

[cheers and applause]

- ♪ WHO TRAPPED THE HIPPIES? ♪

♪ WHO LOCKED 'EM IN A ZOO? ♪

♪ WHO GAGGED THE BEATNIKS? ♪

♪ WHO SEALED THEIR MOUTHS
WITH GLUE? ♪

♪ WHO CRUSHED THE BOHOS? ♪

♪ WHO TURNED THEIR WORK
TO POO? ♪

♪ HEY, MR. NORMAL, ♪

♪ IT WAS YOU! ♪

- HEY.

HEY!

- HUH?

SORRY, THAT GUY
KEEPS LOOKING AT ME.

- YEAH, I CAN SEE YOU'RE UPSET
ABOUT THAT.

I'M GOING TO THE BATHROOM.
- OKAY.

- ♪ HEY, MR. NORMAL, ♪

♪ IT WAS YOU! ♪

[cheers and applause]

- YEAH!

- WE'RE MYSTIC SPIRAL.

WE'LL BE BACK FOR A SECOND SET.

- THIS WAS THE FIRST SET.

- UH, YEAH.

- HEY.

- YO.
- GOOD BAND.

- YEAH, THE SINGER'S
MY BROTHER.

- REALLY?
ARE YOU A SINGER TOO?

- OH, YEAH, LISTEN TO THIS.

♪ OLD MCDONALD HAD A FARM,
E-I E-I-O ♪

- THAT'S REALLY AWFUL.

- YOU'RE AN HONEST ONE, EH?

ACTUALLY, I'M AN ARTIST.

- WOW, THAT'S COOL.

- BUT I DO LIKE TO SING
IN MY SPARE TIME.

♪ OLD MCDONALD HAD A FARM,
E-I E-I-O ♪

- MM, VERY NICE.

YOU LIKE CONVERTIBLES?

- SOFAS?
- CARS.

- WHY? YOU GOT ONE?

- UM, NO, BUT THE ROOF
OF MY CAR IS RUSTING THROUGH.

- ALMOST THE SAME THING.

- I THINK THE SAD
DECAY OF IT ALL

MIGHT APPEAL
TO YOUR ARTISTIC SENSIBILITY.

WANT TO CHECK IT OUT,
MAYBE GET SOME FOOD?

- FOOD, THEN BACK HERE?
- SOUND ALL RIGHT?

- LET ME JUST TELL MY FRIEND.

HEY, DARIA, THIS IS, UH...
- TOM.

- HI.
- HEY.

- HIS CAR'S FALLING APART,
SO WE'RE GONNA GO FOR A RIDE.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

- HEY, WE'RE SUPPOSED
TO TALK TO TRENT, REMEMBER?

- YOU TALK.
I'LL BE BACK FOR THE SECOND SET.

LATER.
- NICE MEETING YOU.

- GREAT.

- LOOK, WHEN I'M GOING
FOOM-FOOM-FOOM-FOOM,

WHAT DAMN GOOD DOES IT DO
TO HAVE YOU GOING

BADADA-BADADA-BADADA BLAT?

- IT'S NOT BLAT, MAX.
IT'S BLAM.

- HEY, DARIA, YOU GUYS WANTED
TO TALK TO ME ABOUT SOMETHING?

- MM, YEAH, BUT JANE
WENT OUT FOR SOME FOOD.

- THAT'S OKAY.
YOU'RE HERE.

- WELL, IT'S ABOUT THIS
MULTIMEDIA PROJECT

WE HAVE TO DO FOR SCHOOL.

- MULTIMEDIA?

- YEAH, THE WHOLE THING'S
SUPPOSED TO BE ON COMPUTER,

IMAGES AND SOUND.

- THAT SOUNDS PRETTY COOL.

SO YOU WANT TO DOCUMENT
THE STRUGGLE

OF AN UP-AND-COMING BAND,
IS THAT IT?

A YEAR ON THE EDGE.

OKAY, WE'RE IN.

- UM, ACTUALLY,
WE WERE JUST KIND OF HOPING

YOU MIGHT COMPOSE ABOUT
30 SECONDS OF MUSIC WE CAN USE.

- OH.

SURE, DARIA, THAT'LL BE COOL,

LIKE SOMETHING YOU SAVE
AND PLAY BACK ON A COMPUTER.

- YEAH, EXACTLY.

WE NEED IT IN TWO WEEKS.

- THAT'S NO PROBLEM.

ALL RIGHT, I'M GOING DIGITAL.
EXCELLENT.

SO, UH... WHEN DID JANIE SAY
SHE WAS COMING BACK?

- UH, SHE SAID SHE'D BE HERE
FOR THE SECOND SET.

- OH, OKAY, COOL.

OF COURSE, THE SECOND SET'S
NOT FOR ANOTHER HOUR.

- YEAH.

ACTUALLY, UM, I'M KIND OF BEAT.

I HOPE YOU WON'T BE INSULTED
IF I DON'T HANG AROUND.

- HEY, THE SECOND SET'S
JUST THE STUFF

THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH
FOR THE FIRST.

I WOULDN'T STAY FOR IT MYSELF
IF I WEREN'T IN THE BAND.

- HMM.
- I'VE GOT SOME TIME.

YOU WANT A RIDE HOME?
- UM, SURE.

- SO HOW COME JANIE
WENT OUT FOR FOOD,

AND YOU DIDN'T GO WITH HER?

- SHE KIND OF WENT
WITH THIS GUY.

- OH, FROM SCHOOL?

- ACTUALLY, SHE JUST MET HIM.

I DON'T KNOW WHY SHE THOUGHT SHE
COULD GO FOR A RIDE WITH HIM.

- JANIE CAN TAKE CARE
OF HERSELF.

- I HOPE SO.

- YOU GOT TO RELAX, DARIA.

THINGS WORK OUT, YOU KNOW?
- I GUESS.

OKAY, THANKS FOR THE RIDE.

- THANKS FOR COMING TO THE GIG.

I GOT TO GET BACK BEFORE MAX
AND NICHOLAS KILL EACH OTHER.

- YEAH, YOU DON'T WANT
TO MISS THAT.

- [laughs, coughs]

YOU'RE FUNNY, DARIA.

HEY, IF YOU'RE GONNA BE
AT THE HOUSE TOMORROW,

MAYBE WE CAN TALK
ABOUT THE MUSIC.

- UM, YEAH, MAYBE I'LL SEE YOU
TOMORROW, THEN.

- SEE YA.

[electronic duck quacking]

[phone ringing]

- YEAH?

- OH, GEE, DID I WAKE YOU?

I GUESS THAT MEANS
YOU HAVEN'T BEEN MURDERED.

WELL, THAT'S GOOD.

- DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHAT TIME IT IS?

- IT'S ALMOST NOON.

- MM, I GUESS
RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION

ISN'T REALLY APPROPRIATE, THEN.

- NOT FOR YOU, NO.

- WHERE DID YOU DISAPPEAR TO
LAST NIGHT?

- WHERE DID I DISAPPEAR TO?

- UM, I GUESS
I KIND OF LEFT YOU THERE

WHILE I WENT OUT WITH TOM;
SORRY.

- TOM?

- HEY, I THOUGHT
I WOULD GIVE YOU AND TRENT

SOME ONE-ON-ONE
QUALITY TIME.

- YEAH, YOU AND TOM
WERE THINKING OF ME.

- WELL, I WAS BACK FOR
THE SECOND SET, LIKE I PROMISED.

- I THOUGHT WE WEREN'T STAYING
FOR THE SECOND SET.

- I SAID I WAS SORRY!

DID YOU TALK TO TRENT
ABOUT THE PROJECT?

- YES, I TALKED TO TRENT
ABOUT THE PROJECT.

HE SAID HE'D DO IT.

HE SAID IF
I WAS COMING OVER TODAY,

WE COULD ALL DISCUSS IT.

- SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

GET YOUR BUTT OVER HERE A.S.A.P.

- ALL RIGHT.
- ONLY DON'T RUSH.

HE WON'T BE UP
FOR ANOTHER TWO HOURS.

[doorbell rings]

HEY.
- WHAT'S WITH YOU?

- AFTER YOU CALLED, I GOT UP,

GOT DRESSED, AND THEN FELL
BACK ASLEEP.

YOU DID CALL, RIGHT?

'CAUSE I DON'T THINK
I COULD'VE DREAMED

A CONVERSATION THAT NASTY.

- IS TRENT UP YET?

- I HEARD SOMETHING STIRRING
IN HIS ROOM.

I'M HOPING IT WASN'T
A FAMILY OF RACCOONS.

[yawns]

YOU WANT SOME BREAKFAST?

- THANKS,
BUT I DON'T REALLY LIKE

TO EAT BREAKFAST
AFTER LUNCH.

IT SPOILS MY DINNER.

SO YOU WANT TO WORK
ON THIS MULTIMEDIA THING?

- I DON'T KNOW, DARIA.

I'M REALLY BEAT.

HEY, HOW YOU DOING?

- WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
I'M FINE.

- HI.
HI, DARIA.

- I JUST STOPPED BY

TO MAKE SURE
YOU DIDN'T GET SICK

FROM THOSE TWO JUMBO BURGERS.

- ARE YOU KIDDING?

I COULD EAT FIVE OF THOSE BABIES
AND NEVER FEEL A THING.

[burps]

UM, EXCUSE ME.
COME ON IN.

- NO, YOU'VE GOT COMPANY.

- OH, COME ON.

- UH, HEY, HEY, DARIA.
- HEY, TRENT.

- TRENT, THIS IS TOM.

- YOU GUYS WERE EXCELLENT
LAST NIGHT.

- THANKS.

- TRENT, I CAME OVER
TO DISCUSS THAT PROJECT.

- OH, WELL, UM, WHY DON'T WE GO
TALK IN THE KITCHEN, DARIA?

- DON'T YOU WANT JANE
IN ON THE CONVERSATION?

- YOU GO AHEAD.

I'M NOT QUITE UP YET.

I'LL WALK TOM TO HIS CAR.

- BUT...
- YEAH, COME ON, DARIA.

IT'S COOL.
SHE'LL WALK TOM TO HIS CAR.

WE CAN TALK IN HERE
WHILE I MAKE SOME COFFEE.

- YOU AND JANE AREN'T REALLY
MORNING PEOPLE, ARE YOU?

- HEY, THE NIGHT
HOLDS THE KEY.

- THE KEY TO WHAT?

- I DON'T KNOW, DARIA.
IT'S EARLY.

- SO YOU WANT TO TALK
ABOUT THAT MULTIMEDIA PROJECT?

- YEAH, BUT SHOULDN'T JANIE
BE HERE FOR THAT?

- THAT'S WHAT I ASKED YOU.

- OH, WELL, I GUESS I FIGURED
I'D GIVE HER AND WHAT'S-HIS-NAME

A COUPLE OF MINUTES.

- TOM.
- YEAH, TOM.

- DO YOU THINK IT'S WEIRD
THAT THEY JUST MET LAST NIGHT,

AND HE'S ALREADY
INVITING HIMSELF OVER?

- I GUESS HE LIKES HER.

- IT'S JUST SO FAST.

- HEY, SOMETIMES YOU GOT
TO TAKE THINGS AS THEY COME.

RELAX AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

- BUT YOU CAN'T BE THAT WAY
ABOUT EVERYTHING.

- EXACTLY; LIKE, I'M RELAXED
ABOUT A LOT OF STUFF,

BUT NOT MY CAREER.

I TAKE THAT VERY SERIOUSLY.

[phone rings]

YO.
HEY, MAX.

WHAT?
OH, DAMN.

OKAY, I'LL BE RIGHT OVER.

UM, DARIA, I KIND OF FORGOT

ABOUT THIS REALLY IMPORTANT
AUDITION.

I GOT TO RUN.

HEY, HELP YOURSELF
TO THE HOT WATER.

- SO I THINK I FINALLY HAVE
SOME SKETCHES I LIKE

FOR THIS MULTIMEDIA THING,

MEANING I SHOULD BE FINISHED
TOMORROW,

AND WE CAN SCAN THEM IN.

- THAT SOUNDS GOOD.

- AND TRENT BOUGHT
A MIDI KEYBOARD

AND A COMPOSING PROGRAM,
AND HE'S BEEN UP, LIKE,

EVERY NIGHT SCREWING AROUND
WITH IT.

- HAS HE PLAYED YOU
ANY OF THE MUSIC HE'S WRITTEN?

- WHO SAID ANYTHING
ABOUT WRITING MUSIC?

HE SAMPLED THE TOILET FLUSHING
AND CREATED

AN ALL-PLUMBING VERSION
OF OH, SUSANNAH.

HOW'S THE SCRIPT COMING?

- THE SCRIPT'S BEEN FINISHED
SINCE MONDAY.

- REALLY? I'M IMPRESSED.

- YES, WELL, I HAD A LOT
OF FREE TIME LAST WEEKEND.

- UM, YEAH.
SORRY WE COULDN'T GET TOGETHER.

- NO BIG DEAL.
HOW'S TOM?

- YOU REALLY DON'T LIKE HIM,
DO YOU?

- IT'S NOT HIM I DON'T LIKE.

IT'S YOU GOING GAGA
OVER THIS GUY YOU JUST MET.

- I'M NOT GAGA.

I'VE GONE OUT WITH HIM
A FEW TIMES.

HE'S A PLEASANT YOUNG FELLOW.

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
- NO PROBLEM.

- ANYWAY, HE'S SEEING
HIS FRIENDS TONIGHT,

SO YOU AND I WILL DEFINITELY
GET TOGETHER.

- THANKS FOR FITTING ME IN.
- I DO WHAT I CAN.

- HEY, JANIE,
COME LISTEN TO THIS.

[dogs barking]

[cow moos]

- SO WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO
AFTER PIZZA, A MOVIE?

- GOOD IDEA.

THEN WHEN WE COME BACK HERE
FOR MORE PIZZA,

THERE'LL BE A NEW CROWD
WHO DIDN'T SEE THE TWO PIES

WE'VE ALREADY EATEN.

- THUS PRESERVING
OUR REPUTATION

FOR HAVING BIRDLIKE APPETITES.

- HEY.
- HEY.

- WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

- THOSE REALLY GOOD
FRIENDS OF MINE,

THEY TOTALLY BLEW ME OFF.

I FIGURED YOU GUYS
MIGHT BE HERE.

- WELL, PULL UP A BENCH.
WE'LL ORDER ANOTHER PIE.

- NO, I'LL JUST GET A SLICE.
I'M ONLY GONNA STAY A MINUTE.

- WANT TO BORROW MY STOPWATCH?

- HEY, DARIA, IF YOU WANT ME
TO LEAVE, JUST SAY SO.

- OKAY. BYE, NOW.
- HEY, COME ON, DARIA.

- I THOUGHT WE WERE GONNA
SEE A MOVIE.

- WHAT MOVIE?

- IT'S CALLED
THE BIG CHICK MOVIE

THAT APPEALS ONLY TO GIRLS
AND MAKES MEN AND BOYS VOMIT.

- HEY, DARIA, DID I SAY

I WANTED TO GO
TO THE MOVIE WITH YOU?

- NO, BUT YOU NEVER MENTIONED

WANTING TO HORN IN
ON OUR PIZZA TIME, EITHER.

- DARIA, YOU'RE SO DARNED
PLEASANT AND FRIENDLY,

I DON'T SEE HOW ANYONE COULD
RESIST AN EVENING WITH YOU,

BUT JUST ON A CRAZY WHIM,

I THINK I'LL GO HOME
AND WATCH TV BY MYSELF.

- HEY, COME ON, TOM.

ARE YOU TRYING TO GET INTO
THE OBNOXIOUS HALL OF FAME

OR SOMETHING?

- GO AHEAD; GO AFTER HIM.
GO FOR A RIDE.

- DARIA, HAVE YOU LOST
YOUR MIND?

- YOU'D GO AFTER HIM
IF I WEREN'T HERE, WOULDN'T YOU?

- I DON'T KNOW.

- WELL, LET ME GIVE YOU
THE OPPORTUNITY TO FIND OUT.

- WHAT THE HELL DID I DO?

[doorbell rings]

WELL, LOOK WHO IT IS:
SUNSHINE GIRL.

- I JUST CAME OVER TO SEE HOW
TRENT'S DOING WITH THAT MUSIC.

- WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST CALL?
- I FELT LIKE TAKING A WALK.

THE ASSIGNMENT'S DUE TOMORROW,
YOU KNOW.

- I KNOW. I'M READY.

HEY, CAN I GET SOME
EYE CONTACT HERE?

- LOOK, MY LANGUAGE ARTS GRADE
IS NOT IN QUESTION.

- YOU MUST BE VERY PROUD.

- I MEAN, IF WE DO BADLY,

YOU'RE THE ONE
TAKING THE CLASS AGAIN,

SO YOU SHOULD BE MORE CONCERNED
WITH HOW TRENT'S DOING.

- I'M CONCERNED.
I'M CONCERNED.

- FINE.
- GOOD.

- GOOD, THEN.

- AND I SUPPOSE
WE'LL JUST PRETEND

LAST NIGHT NEVER HAPPENED.

- WHY? YOU WANT TO TELL ME
HOW YOUR DATE WAS WITH TOM?

- THERE WAS NO DATE WITH TOM.
THERE WAS NOTHING.

HE LEFT. YOU LEFT.
I LEFT.

BIG SATURDAY NIGHT.

- AND I SUPPOSE YOU THINK
THAT'S MY FAULT.

- THE NOTION
HAD CROSSED MY MIND.

- HEY.
HEY, DARIA.

- TRENT, THAT PROJECT
IS DUE TOMORROW!

WHEN IS THAT STUPID MUSIC
GONNA BE FINISHED?

- WHOA. HOW DO YOU KNOW
IT'S STUPID?

- WE DON'T, BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T
HEARD ANYTHING YET.

- WELL, I'M STILL
CONCEPTUALIZING.

- CONCEPTUALIZING, MY ASS.

30 LOUSY SECONDS
OF MUSIC, TRENT.

CAN'T YOU FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE
FINISH SOMETHING

WITHIN A MONTH
OF STARTING IT?

- WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?

- SHE'S GONNA FAIL
LANGUAGE ARTS,

THAT'S WHAT,
AND IT'LL BE YOUR FAULT.

- YOU GUYS ARE ACTING
REALLY WEIRD.

- WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

- ANYWHERE ELSE.
- DEADBEAT.

- SCREW-UP.

UM... OKAY, I GUESS
I'LL GO HOME NOW.

YOU KEEP ON HIM
ABOUT THAT MUSIC.

- WILL DO; HE'S NOT GONNA
MESS THINGS UP FOR US ANYMORE.

HEY, WAIT!

WEREN'T WE FIGHTING
ABOUT SOMETHING?

OKAY, AND HERE'S LITTLE JANE
ALL ALONE ONCE AGAIN.

[sniffs]

[horn honks]

- HEY, DARIA.

- WOW. I CAN SEE WHY JANE
WANTED A RIDE IN THIS CAR.

- YOU KNOW JANE.
SHE'S A THRILL SEEKER.

A GAS TANK THAT COULD BLOW
AT ANY MINUTE:

SHE COULDN'T RESIST.

THAT WAS A JOKE.
- MM, GOOD ONE.

- YOU NEED A LIFT SOMEWHERE?

- WHAT ARE YOU, SOME KIND
OF COMPULSIVE RIDE GIVER?

I'M WALKING, THANKS.

- I'LL WALK WITH YOU A WAYS.

- WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

- LOOK, I'D LIKE
TO TALK TO YOU, OKAY?

- SO TALK.

- LISTEN, YOU DON'T LIKE ME,
AND THAT'S FINE.

THERE'S NO REASON YOU SHOULD.

- I AGREE.

- BUT IT WOULD BE REALLY NICE

IF YOU COULD TRY
AND GET ALONG WITH ME A LITTLE,

AT LEAST IN FRONT OF JANE.

- WHY SHOULD I?

- BECAUSE SHE'S
YOUR BEST FRIEND,

AND I REALLY LIKE HER
AND WANT TO GET TO KNOW HER.

- SO?

- SO YOU HATING ME PUTS HER
IN A VERY AWKWARD POSITION.

- I DON'T HATE YOU.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU.

BUT I'M NOT GONNA SIT BY
WHILE YOU TAKE MY FRIEND AWAY.

- I'M NOT TAKING
YOUR FRIEND AWAY.

ALL SHE TALKS ABOUT IS,
"DARIA SAID THIS."

"DARIA DID THIS."

"LISTEN TO WHAT DARIA
TOLD THIS MORON."

- DON'T BOTHER
WITH THE FLATTERY, TOM.

I'M IMMUNE.

- I'M NOT FLATTERING YOU,
DARIA.

I DON'T CARE
IF YOU DON'T LIKE ME.

I'M JUST SAYING YOU'D
HAVE TO BE PRETTY STUPID

TO THINK ANYTHING OR ANYBODY'S

GONNA SHAKE YOUR FRIENDSHIP
WITH JANE.

- YEAH, PRETTY STUPID.

LOOK, I MAY
CONCEIVABLY HAVE BEEN

ACTING LIKE A JERK
TOWARD YOU.

- IT'S POSSIBLE.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

- BUT YOU AND I
ARE NOT FRIENDS.

- DEFINITELY NOT.

- AND EVEN IF WE WERE FRIENDS,

I STILL WOULDN'T RIDE
IN THAT CAR.

- THAT'S JUST PLAIN
COMMON SENSE.

SO HOW'S THE MULTIMEDIA
PROJECT COMING?

- IT'D BE FINE IF TRENT EVER
GOT AROUND TO WRITING THE MUSIC.

- YEAH, HE'S A REALLY COOL GUY,

BUT I GUESS HE'S NOT THE MOST
DEPENDABLE PERSON IN THE WORLD.

- I REALLY HOPE HE MAKES IT
AS A MUSICIAN,

'CAUSE I CAN'T THINK
OF ANY OTHER JOB

HE COULD HOLD DOWN.

- I DON'T KNOW.

YOU KNOW THOSE FARMERS THAT GET
PAID NOT TO GROW ANYTHING?

[doorbell rings]

- WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

- I BROUGHT OUR MULTIMEDIA
REPORT OVER.

- UH-HUH, AND HOW MANY MEDIA
ARE ON THIS REPORT?

- UM, TWO: WORDS AND PICTURES.

TRENT FAILED
TO DELIVER THE MUSIC.

- UNFORTUNATELY,
I'M NOT SURPRISED.

WHAT'D HE TELL YOU ABOUT IT?

- NOTHING.
HE NEVER CAME HOME LAST NIGHT.

I'M SORRY I EVEN SUGGESTED
INVOLVING HIM.

- FORGET IT.
YOU THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA.

- YOU'RE NOT MAD?

- I HAVE NO REASON
TO BE MAD AT YOU.

- DOES THIS MEAN WE CAN BE
IN THE SAME ROOM FOR A WHILE?

- DON'T PUSH IT.

[bell rings]

- GO, TEAM PLAYERS!

GO, SCHOOL SPIRIT!

- IF YOU HAVE A GOAL TO REACH,

SCHOOL SPORTS WILL HELP YOU
ACHIEVE IT... AND STUFF.

- GO, TEAM!

- WELL, THANK YOU,
KEVIN AND BRITTANY,

FOR THAT CLEVER PRESENTATION
ON THE BENEFITS OF TEAM SPORTS.

- YOU'RE WELCOME.
- I WAS THE QB.

- YES.

AND NOW DARIA AND JANE PRESENT

THE EMOTIONAL TRAUMA CYCLE
OF A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT.

OH.

- THE EMOTIONAL TRAUMA CYCLE
OF A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT.

- WELL, THAT WAS WEIRD.

THANK GOD WE NEVER HAVE
TO GO BACK TO THAT FREAK SHOW.

- UM, WE ARE REQUIRED BY LAW
TO SHOW UP

FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS.

- WHAT?

NO WAY!

- WAY.

- MOM, IF YOU DON'T MAKE ME
GO BACK TO THAT PLACE,

I'LL CLEAN THE GARAGE
EVERY MONTH

FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

- WE HAVE A GARAGE?

- WHAT ARE YOU DOING
WITH THAT MICROPHONE?

WHY ARE YOU HOUNDING ME?
STOP!

- I'VE BEEN ACCEPTED
TO COLLEGE.

I'M OUT OF HERE.

- THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

- WELL, HEH-HEH-HEH,
VERY ENTERTAINING

AND CLEVER USE OF MULTIMEDIA.

- WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US
YOU WERE HAVING A PROBLEM?

WE COULD'VE MADE A BACKUP PLAN.

- I FIGURED I'D GET INSPIRED
EVENTUALLY.

I STILL THINK I WILL.

- TRENT, IT WAS

WE HAD A DEADLINE.

- I DON'T BELIEVE

THEY STIFLE CREATIVITY.
