Walfish:
Hinton was only 16 when
she wrote the outsiders.

The reason she signed
herself "s.E. Hinton"

Was that she feared
they wouldn't take the book--

Which is all about boys--
very seriously

Had they known
she was a girl.

She was
probably right.

Okay, everybody,
good class.

Have a good lunch.

Luke:
Did you read that stupid book?

This is such a great book.

I wish our lives
were that exciting.

Poverty, fights,
murder, what a riot.

I mean, our lives
are so boring.

What about lunch
in the quad?

I can't-- I'll be
in the resource center.

Kathleen!-- Diana can
come to my party!

Your brother's actually
letting you go?

Are you kidding?

I said I'm sleeping
at my cousin's.

What if he finds out?

He won't.

Irene and I cover
for each other all the time.

What's wrong with
going to a party

On a Friday,
anyway?

He thinks it's his duty
to protect me.

Protect you from
my furniture?

This will
be excellent--

My first party
with boys,
and no mom.

No mom?

She agreed
to stay away
till 11:30.

All right!

Bye.

Hello, girls--
on time, as usual.

Dudes! Dudes!

It's joey.

Our video is going
to be on tv, man!

Are you
serious?

Uh-huh.

The community cable station
will air it

Monday at 8:30!

All right!

But nobody watches
community cable.

What else is there
to watch mondays at 8:30?

Yeah, I bet
producers

Watch shows like this
all the time

To find
new talent.

Guys, we got
to celebrate.

Let's go
catch a movie.

And then we'll go
for pizza.

Boring,
boring, boring.

And what do
you suggest?

I thought you'd never ask.

A guy
gave it to me
off the street.

Go to a strip joint?

Joey, they won't
let us in;

We're underage.

We've got fake I.D.

And it's
half price--
we can afford it.

Only
five bucks!

Think of it, guys...
Naked women, totally naked.

Yeah.

My grandparents
are visiting tonight.

So we'll go tomorrow.

So...

Tomorrow?

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

All right!

This is going
to be awesome!

It's going
to be cool.

So what do they wear?

Well, my dad said
he saw this one--

She had balloons
all over.

Wheels:
No way!

Alex:
Hey, yick.

What's up?

Yick is such a hunk.

Cool... Definitely cool.

Sort of a rebel...
Like ponyboy
or sodapop

In the outsiders.

You and that book,
you are obsessed.

It's so good.

Hi, luke!

Oh, hi.

Luke:
What are you studying...?

I bet he thinks we're real nerds

Working in the library.

At least we get paid.

Great, we're
professional nerds.

Maybe we'll both find
romance at your party.

Think they'll
be there?

I did invite
the whole class.

Yeah, but will
they come?

Let's grab a smoke
before class.

Sure.

Ask if they'll come.

You ask,
it's your party.

I've already
invited them;

It will
look obvious.

Going to class already?

No, we're going out
for a smoke.

I could do with a smoke.

You smoke?

Oh, for sure.

Okay, let's go then,
come on.

Cover for me.

Ask them if
they'll be there.

Loudspeaker:
Attention, there's been a number
of incidences of theft...

I thought brainers
didn't smoke.

Ha, ha, I happened
to smoke all summer.

I left my pack in my locker,
could I bum one?

Sure.

Thanks.

So, tough assignment
in science, eh?

No kidding,
you started it yet?

Oh, I finished mine
last week.

Diana:
I mean...

Well, I usually
do all my assignments

At the last minute

But my
dumb brother

Forced me
to do it early.

Diana:
Have you heard
about melanie's party?

Yeah-- so?

Miss avery:
Smoking!

And on school property.

I'm
disappointed.

Very, very disappointed.

Put out
those cigarettes.

We're going to see
the vice principal, now.

Now!

"I'm especially disappointed
in you, diana--

One of our top students."

I hate being a "top student."

Everyone expects you
to be perfect.

Did you find out
about...?

Avery caught us
before I could ask.

I can't believe they're
calling your brother.

I'm not worried.

George is working days
this week, so he won't be home.

And mama doesn't speak english

So no problem.

Joey:
Check this out.

"see ten exotic dancers,
featuring candi cupcakes

Miss nude sherbrooke, 1988."

Woo-hoo!

Take it off, candi!

This is going
to be wicked!

Diana.

George?

Smoking?

How could you do
such a thing?

Don't you realize
how bad smoking is for you?

How come
you're home?

They switched me
to evenings for a few days.

And you're grounded till Monday.

But I'm sleeping over
at irene's tomorrow.

You already said
I could.

That was before.

You can call her.

George, please.

I swear I'll never
smoke again.

Good, but that doesn't
change what you've done.

You're grounded.

Brody residence.

Melanie, the worst thing
just happened.

George was home
when they called.

I'm grounded till Monday.

Oh, no, you're going
to miss the party.

It's so unfair.

Finally something
exciting happens

And my dumb brother goes
and grounds me.

It's not like
I murdered someone.

You've got to talk to him.

Forget it.

We're not like you and your mom.

It's no use trying
to talk to him.

He never listens.

What are we going to do?

This is such a disaster.

No, it's not!--

Because I don't care.

Melanie, I'm coming
to your party.

Loudspeaker:
There is an important meeting

For the yearbook committee
in progress.

Please attend if
you are on staff.

Tonight's the night!

Do they really
take everything off?

I think so.

What do we do until we go?

Let's go
get some fries.

All right!

George won't be home
till midnight

So I'll tell mama
I'm really tired

And please,
don't disturb me.

I'll make my bed
look like I'm in there

In case she checks.

Then, I'll sneak out.

If you get away
with this...

Of course, I'll
get away with it.

Anyhow, it's worth
getting into trouble

To be with you-know-who.

You rebel, you.

Hi!

Hi, how was school?

Okay.

Be good--
play some cards
with mama tonight.

I'll just go to bed
after supper.

Are you sick?

I'm really tired;
it's been a long week.

Oh, get some sleep then.

I'll see you
in the morning.

Okay.

Joey:
Oh, wow! I love you.

Come on, we'll
see more inside.

Joey:
Oh, girls! Girls! Girls!

Sexsational!

Oh, oh,
snake, snake!

Your I.D., man.

Great, we're
both called
joey jeremiah.

Very convincing.

Just flash it quick.

If you're scared...

I just don't want
to get in trouble.

You won't get in trouble.

We always get in trouble.

Snake, man,
come on.

Ready?

Ready.

Ready.

Joey:
Let's go!

Wow!

♪ some like it,
some like it hot! ♪

♪ some like it hot! ♪

♪ some like it, some like it ♪

♪ some like it hot! ♪

You gentlemen have some I.D.?

Yeah, sure.

There it is.

It's $10.

Ah, but the flyer
says half price.

That's during
the week.

This is the weekend;
it's $10.

Oh, um, no problem,
we'll just get organized.

Snake--

How much money

Do we have?

I got $12 and change.

I've got $10.

Snake, will you
pay attention.

Right, I got eight bucks.

All right,
that's $30--

That's all
we need.

Joey:
That's not enough;
we have to buy drinks.

Um, okay, okay,
we have enough money

For two people with drinks.

One of you two can't go.

One of us?

What about you?

This was my idea.

Wheels:
So it's our money.

Joey:
Okay, okay.

All right, all right,
look, look.

Put your money
in the hat.

Snake, will you
pay attention!

Put your money
in the hat.

All right.

Odd man out.

One, two, three...

Um, no, no, no--
two out of three.

Okay, ready?

One, two, three.

Three out of five.

No, no, man.

Come on.

We'll tell you about it.

This was
my idea!

Announcer:
Sexi sari will be
doing another show

In 20 short minutes.

Aw, man.

Girl:
Hi.

Melanie:
Hi.

Melanie:
Bye.

I love your jacket.

Thank you.

Alex, good music.

Thanks--
this is next?

Yes.

Hey, you guys, can you
believe that outfit?

You did it!

I felt just like
the outsiders.

Is he here yet?

No, but I hope
they'll be here soon.

Look what I brought.

What is it?

It's called ouzo;
some relatives gave it to us.

George and mama
don't drink

So they'll never
know it's missing.

Diana:
Hi, guys.

Hi!

You look fabulous.

Thanks.

That's a
great top.

Thanks.

Let's ask arthur

When yick and luke
are going to be here.

Hi, arthur.

Hi.

Where's yick?

Oh, he's not coming.

He's not?

No--

He's playing video games

With luke.

Can I get you a pop?

No, thanks.

Oh, okay.

I don't believe this.

He'd rather play video
games than come to my party.

They think we're nerds.

I sure hope it begins.

Yeah.

Nice place.

Uh-hmm, uh-hmm.

Hi, there.

Hi.

Waiting for someone?

No.

I know where there's
a great party.

Ah, no, thank you.

Don't you like
to party?

Yeah, I like to party,
but, you know...

We could
party together...

You and me.

Um, ah...

Come on.

Look, I've got to go...

I've got homework.

M.C.:
And now, gents, the moment
you've all been waiting for...

Our feature dancer,
the luscious candi cupcakes!

Snake:
She's waving
at you, wheels.

Wheels:
Yeah, right.

Another round,
gentlemen?

Ah, no, thanks.

No, thank you.

If you want
to watch the show

You got to
be drinking.

But we can't.

You charged us $8
for the cokes.

We don't have
any more money.

Oh...

We should have
sat up there.

Yeah.

This is good.

Wheels:
Hey, wait, we paid 20 bucks!

No, thanks.

How can you guys drink this?

Diana:
It's good when you
get used to it, right?

Right.

Anyhow, my brother
is so unfair.

He won't let me
grow up.

I can't go out
with boys.

He makes me go
to greek school.

Why do you always obey
your brother?

What about
your mom?

When dad died 12 years ago

George sort of became
the man of the house.

Mom's the real boss,
but george is, too.

I'll get it.

So where do you come from?

Here.

I mean, where do
your parents come from?

Well, my grandparents
came from poland.

Do you go to polish school?

No.

See?-- That's my point.

You get to be normal--
I don't.

Alex:
Diana?

There's somebody
here to see you.

How could you do this?

Poor mama was hysterical
when she called me.

That girl is so bad for you.

She talked you into this

Didn't she?

She did not!

It's not her, it's me.

For once in my life,
I did something I wanted.

Diana...

You never let me do anything.

You always say no.

Now you embarrass me
in front of all my friends.

I hate you!

Alex:
You look like

You need a coffee.

That's an excellent idea.

George:
Diana?

I brought you some water.

You'll thank me.

I'm sorry you're embarrassed

But you shouldn't
have done what you did--

Smoking, drinking, lying

Stealing
a bottle.

If you want things to change,
you have to change.

Right-- like
everything's my fault.

Some of it, yeah.

If you want
to be treated
like an adult

You have to start
behaving like one.

Adults talk
to each other.

You have to
start talking to me.

As if you'd listen.

When was the last
time you tried?

You never let me be normal.

You always make me stay home.

You make me go
to greek school.

Greek is who you are.

It's your
background.

I don't care
about my background!

I care about now.

How can I find out
who "me" is

If you won't let me
make mistakes?

Really? It was awesome?

Oh, definitely.

Joey, she was
so beautiful.

And afterwards,
she came and danced
on our table for us.

She danced
on your table?

It was so hot.

Ah, joey,
it's a real pity
you weren't there.

Oh, you guys
missed out, too.

Right after I left

This incredible-looking chick
tried to pick me up.

Right, joey.

It's true.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

You lie like a rug.

I do not.

Guys, it really happened.

Don't worry
about it.

She was blond,
she was absolutely...

Wheels:
It doesn't matter...

How did george find
out where you were?

He called irene.

They made her talk.

She's grounded,
just like me.

Me too-- a month.

What happened?

I was kind of drunk.

My mom knew, so I had
to tell her the truth.

I will never
drink again, though.

I felt so bad
on Saturday.

Me too, I thought
I was going to die.

At least everybody else
had a good time

And because
of your brother,
my party's famous.

One good thing, though,
george and I had a talk.

You're kidding.

No, we made a deal.

I'll quit smoking,
and I'll go to greek school

And he'll give me
more freedom.

Do you think he will?

He'd better, we made a deal.

Do you think you'll
quit smoking?
