The Perfect Score (2004) Edit

A future Ph.D. with a nice A S S.

A hundred million dollars a year, 60 million of that from girls. For what?

A kid in the middle or dumb as a post.

A kid...

A son who lives above the garage, or a son who cheats his way into college?

A woman boards a train in New York at midnight.

About that time.

About the same time my jackass best friend got arrested.

About three to six months and a lot of community service.

Actually...

Afraid would be wrong in the first place.

After a night in jail with the worst version of who you can be someday,

All clear.

All right, all right, let's see.

All right, fair enough. Just hear me out.

All right, Flash, you ready?

All right, I'll see you on Tuesday.

All right, let's get out of here.

All right, Roy. Get ready.

All right, this is ETS.

All right, we're here. Answers are here.

All right! Enough, OK?

All right.

All right.

All this because you can't talk to your mom?

Am I trying to get somewhere important?

And "one comes back to me".

And a man boards that same train,

And a whole lot closer to the rest of my life.

And decided to play ball at St. John's University.

And he was now moments away from hooking up with her in the fall.

And how he deserves that...

And I am not happy with this.

And I just can't wait to be great again.

And I remember thinking, "You know, people get paid to do this.

And I was wondering

And I've never cut class, and I've never...

And invite her to break into ETS to steal the answers to the SAT?

And it starts long before high school.

And it was just...

And it's not even my own shit.

And join us in Francesca's father's office.

And slip it in my locker. I'll get back to you.

And so the day arrives. We had packed it,

And sometimes, it's that easy.

And the master goes to 51 0, got it?

And the plans of six become one.

And we talk about how proud we are of you?

And what are your fallback schools?

And you find yourself moving towards something

And you think you could hook me up with a bottle of champagne?

And you're gonna be prepared for life after basketball.

And?

And...

Anna says he needs it and we can trust him.

Anna says he needs it.

Anna went off to Europe and eventually found her way to college

Anna, you down with this?

Anyone ever tell you you're a hell of a kisser?

Anyone who doesn't like the plan can walk.

Anything at all?

Anything else I can do for you

As I am currently without transportation.

As opposed to solving world hunger or curing a terminal disease?

As soon as I was old enough to realize

Asian chicks. Middle class Asian girls

Ask me... Ask me what icing is, for chrissakes.

Ask me... Ask me who's got the best pitching staff in baseball.

At least you're starting to sound like my little brother.

At school, man, I hear things and I see things,

At this time, assisting him

Be on time.

Because a victimless crime is still a crime.

Because Daddy doesn't love you enough is, huh?

Because I'm not a dumb guy, all right? I know things.

Because she doesn't call anymore.

Because the fact of the matter is,

Because we're in it now.

Because you learn the rest in college.

Before the guard returns to his desk and his security monitors.

Besides, he's got no left hand, and his midrange game, it needs work.

Besides, I heard he was going pro.

Besides...

But before you go, my roommates and I are having this discussion.

But do you know how high profile Desmond Rhodes is?

But even if I did,

But for now, the SAT is standing in the way of Kyle's dream.

But here was something that I was finally great at.

But his grades are shitty.

But I think your mom's gonna come in with snacks.

But I'll tell you something you don't know.

But if I do, I gotta read about it in "USA Today".

But if she wasn't...

But if, God forbid, you don't make it,

But it can't beat us all together.

But it's not bad.

But Mr. Dooling...I've known since I was 7.

But my roommate at Brown is a big sports fan,

But no way was I gonna let those answers go to waste.

But nobody hears or sees me.

But only with quadratic equations,

But that didn't exactly offset my 0.0 GPA.

But the SAT doesn't care about that.

But there's a whole lot of dumb dribbling out of your mouth right now.

But there's more money for the school in bubbling in than reading these days.

But we have got to trust each other.

By the way, just so you know, mail pickup

By the way, just so you know, mail pickup

C is nine.

Can I ask you a question?

Can I help you?

Can you get us up there?

Cleo?

Come on, come on, come on.

Come on, Roy, come on.

Come on.

Coordinate geometry and algebraic visualizations.

Cornell University.

Cornell.

D. Ten.

Damn it!

Damn.

Delivery.

Des, I want you to come to St. John's.

Desmond and Roy go right. We go left.

Desmond Rhodes, all city.

Desmond Rhodes, superstar!

Desmond Rhodes, superstar!

Desmond's mom.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Did you know

Did you see my dad's truck when you drove up?

Do you guys know the name of that kid with the Percocet addiction?

Do you know how many kids wanna go up and complain about their SATs?

Do you know what the fatal flaw is for most heists?

Do you run the light?

Dog, cool.

Don't say no.

Don't say no.

Don't touch my shit.

Don't try and be a hero.

Don't worry. I'm not gonna look at your underwear.

Don't you find it ridiculous that from day one, they tell us to be unique,

Don't you think that 1430 is...? Is a little bit...?

Don't...

Dooling said the standardized testing says I can't do it.

Dooling said you couldn't do it?

Eight o'clock.

ETS has the entire top floor.

Eventually, I was forced, I mean, encouraged, to get my GED.

Every Christmas for how long?

Everyone has reasons. We don't need to know them.

Exactly.

Excuse me.

First graders?

Fix you some breakfast before the exam. OK?

For some reason, I couldn't get past it.

For the first section, you have 30 minutes.

For us at St. John's, but we can work with that.

For when the night guard makes his rounds.

Francesca Curtis.

Francesca Curtis.

Francesca has the lock codes, and we know where the test answers are filed.

Francesca knew the risk, so did you. Come on.

Francesca sold her first novel.

Francesca was right. We were screwed.

Francesca, Tiffany.

Friday afternoon, Francesca will enter through the lobby.

From here on out, we use re dial.

From here, we're almost home. We get in,

From the SAT thing.

Give it to me.

Give us the bank's money!

Go!

Good deeds, good grades.

Good night, little brother.

Grab my hand! Grab my hand!

Great.

Hands up!

Happened to you, kid?

Have you ever heard of the term, "Kiss my ass"?

He attended a community college just down the street.

He better be hung like a horse.

He knows about it, and he wants in.

He knows everything. He threatened to bust us.

He once told me that he might like to be an actor.

He said, "Sandy's room."

He took 25 and 10 off North Carolina.

He won't recognize me.

He'd say, "Pam's room", not "Sandy's room."

He's a good guy, who knows where he wants to go in life.

He's in Syracuse, where his dream of becoming an architect is still alive.

He's working on both.

He's, like, half human and half lizard, who eats his opponents.

Hell, the girls at Brown are gonna be disappointed.

Hello, Maryland.

Here we go. Masks.

Here's the hardware schedule with security camera specs

Hey, can I ask you something?

Hey, can I ask you something?

Hey, guys, he's here. Dave's here.

Hey, guys.

Hey, hey, I got it. It's office 545.

Hey, hey. You.

Hey, hold it right there. Get your hands up.

Hey, honey.

Hey, kiddo.

Hey, Matty, don't freak out, OK?

Hey, Matty, if you wanted to borrow the answers...

Hey, Roy! Roy! I'm serious, you're about out of here!

Hey, that's me.

Hey, was it anywhere near your crotch?

Hey!

Hey!

Hey.

Hi, Anna. It's a pleasure to meet you.

Hi, who's this?

Hi.

His mom was happy. And trust me, you want D's mom happy.

Hold it right there.

How about you, superstar?

How about you? You gonna be all right?

How did you get in here?

How great it is to see this kid, right, his whole future in front of him.

How long since your mother passed, baby?

How many of these girls are gonna get screwed by this test?

Hundred and forty three. That's what I scored.

Hypothetical situation:

I already nailed the math, and plus, you don't know my mom.

I appreciate that, ma'am.

I better call Sandy.

I can't believe it. This is so awesome.

I can't see... I can't see through this stupid mask!

I can't.

I completely have lost touch with who you are.

I could make her laugh, I could...

I did what I did.

I didn't.

I don't have any.

I don't know, ten years or something.

I don't know. Europe, maybe, then college.

I don't know. How do you think they feel?

I don't know. I'm having fun, I guess.

I don't know. We're not talking about a big heist.

I don't live at home. I live above the garage.

I don't see it.

I got a problem with anybody putting us at risk.

I guess I just froze.

I had the answers in my hands.

I had the highest test score in the county,

I have an idea.

I just always wanted to punch one of them in the face.

I just told my mom I'm not going to Brown.

I know I am. That's why we approached you.

I know it probably sounds crazy, but it just hit home for me, and I...

I know who I am.

I know. I was just...

I look good in red. I was thinking more of a Philadelphia 76er red, though.

I may as well sever all ties with Sandy.

I mean, all state's phone is ringing off the hook here, and

I mean, Anna Ross, that's bad enough.

I mean, how do you think Mom and Dad feel?

I mean, I know how people see me.

I mean, I'm looking at your file here, and while your GPA is strong,

I mean, I've never broken curfew,

I mean, if one goes up, they all go up.

I mean, it's anti girl, it's anti...a lot of shit, but it definitely has girl issues.

I mean, it's like, I don't get the best grades.

I mean, when you get the feeling that everything's slipping away,

I mean, you know, let's face it, I'm not going to college.

I missed it. I had a date.

I need a 1430.

I need the answers.

I need to do great on this test.

I need to work on being alone.

I need two copies of this on rush.

I needed some school supplies.

I realized how disappointed my parents would be.

I saw the whole thing from my Cornell dorm room.

I saw your answer sheet. It was practically blank.

I say we trust each other and try as a group.

I show up for a job interview, there's a science geek, there's a math nerd.

I still spend most of my time at home on video games.

I think I could talk to her.

I think I dialed the wrong number, but you sound familiar.

I think it's gonna be a nice day.

I think that we all have a lot to lose.

I think that went well.

I think that's a shitty thing to ask.

I told you.

I used to play this video game for hours, "Street Fighter 2".

I want to be an architect.

I wanted to be on that train and just be...

I wanted to go back and get you, but Kyle said screw y'all.

I was afraid of the verbal, Roy. I can ace the math and still not get a 900.

I was doing fine at first.

I was great at being with Sandy.

I was thinking someday I might wanna be an actor.

I won't. What's up?

I would be a real mom.

I wouldn't call this nothing.

I'd just be a mom.

I'd just be taking the place of someone that really wanted to be there

I'd kind of like to be Blanka.

I'll do everything in my power to get you to the NBA.

I'll do it.

I'll tell you about stereotype vulnerability.

I'm from the mailroom.

I'm gonna go see if I can get a better view.

I'm here because the SAT is racist.

I'm here to make new friends. And for the wine, of course.

I'm not a robot, you know? I just haven't done very much. Yet.

I'm not really great at... anything.

I'm not sure I'm comfortable with this.

I'm not taking that exam.

I'm not the valedictorian. I'm second.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean that.

I'm sorry?

I'm sorry. It was a misunderstanding.

I'm still seeing no point.

I'm the ghost, man.

I'm worried about you, Kyle. One day, you're gonna try to regain

I've applied to Cornell.

I've been thinking about that, Mrs...

I've been thinking about that.

I've got my own phone line.

I've wanted to go there.

If he could possibly pick me up this evening,

If I blow my knee out in college, all I got is credits.

If I blow my knee out in the NBA, I got a four year guaranteed contract.

If I wanted to do what we talked about...

If it helps, there's a lot of stuff I haven't done too.

If it's money you want, we can pay you.

If not Brown, where you gonna go?

If not, then just happy.

If there's some way I could just get around this one thing...

If they make a movie out of it, I wonder who'll play me?

If you come with me,

If you don't get through the skylight, we all get screwed.

If you don't know where my locker is, you're in over your heads.

If you're trying to get into her pants...

In fact, the number one selling game last year was created by me.

In his SAT exam preparation.

In order to get into college.

In several other community related projects...

In some cases, even teachers get paid.

Is it a chick?

Is that what you're doing, living at home, jamming with the dryer?

Is that why you haven't taken the SATs yet?

Is there anything you don't know, Larry?

It all means more to me now.

It doesn't say "Matthews' Septic" on it, Kyle.

It is. It's unfair to certain groups.

It isn't worth it.

It makes kissing kind of nasty.

It means that some students do badly on the SAT

It says "Matthews and Son's Septic" on it.

It under scores us on the math and verbal.

It's a standardized test.

It's a whole separate dwelling!

It's about six kids who conspire to steal the SAT answers.

It's as easy as getting in, finding the answers,

It's Desmond Rhodes.

It's enough to piss you off.

It's for you.

It's good. Look it.

It's just her camera gear.

It's Kyle, Roy.

It's like "The Breakfast Club", where they get stoned and make confessions.

It's like the oldest story in the world, isn't it?

It's my uncle's ride, man.

It's never gonna be like the way it was.

It's nice. It's really nice.

It's not about who you are.

It's pretty cool, huh?

It's telling him, "You're just..."

It's the one with the large crapper on top of it.

It's trusting the team.

It's...

It's... Roy.

Jesus, that's almost as bad as me, man.

Jesus, what lightweight's making this drink?

Just because they keep getting younger doesn't mean you will.

Just come forward. Come forward.

Just follow the money.

Just give me six months and a ClA mainframe.

Keep your masks on till we get past the security cameras. Just in case.

Kids struggle with the SAT. That doesn't justify thievery.

Kyle did fine on his exam. Anna crushed him.

Kyle, we gotta go.

Kyle, what? Kyle?

Kyle.

Kyle. Dude, check this out.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present you with...

Last I heard, we had no way of doing this.

Last year, 2 million kids took the Suck Ass Test

Let me ask you a question. If you were a parent, which do you prefer:

Let me get in there, huh?

Let me get that for you.

Let's go. Pay attention.

Life happens. Romance. Adventure.

Like kiss ass valedictorians.

Like there's this one character, Blanka.

Like, one of those perfect girls that everything always works out for.

Likes. Whatever.

Listen, listen. Ready? Ready? Watch this.

Literally.

Look around this place.

Look, if I don't get into Maryland, my life is shit.

Look, Larry, Larry...

Look, you don't know anything about it, OK?

Losers!

M.E. Lecture? Mine too.

Making a copy and getting out.

Man, screw this.

Man, what the hell is she typing?

Math doesn't scare me. You just take care of the verbal.

Matt, it wasn't like that. I just got the feeling...

Matt.

Matty and I have 20 seconds to get inside the stairwell

Matty got arrested.

Matty survived probation and some serious community service.

Matty, I swear, this was it. The answers went to 510 for filing.

Matty, it's over.

Matty, the College Board made millions of dollars last year.

Matty, you OK?

Matty, you saw it, right?

Matty's girlfriend, Sandy, is a freshman at Maryland.

Maybe he's actually in there somewhere.

Maybe I run it. It depends.

Maybe it is.

Maybe it was bigger than us one on one,

Maybe we should all go together.

Maybe we should borrow them.

Maybe we should say why we're here.

Maybe you can help.

Me! Me! That's me. I get the job.

Meet at the car. I'll bring copies of this in the morning. Come on.

Millions.

Mom, most of these kids can't even read yet.

More than me.

My bad.

My father?

My phone!

My phone.

My son tells me you encouraged him to talk to me.

Need some help with that?

Never take advice from anyone who lives above a garage.

Next time you pull a heist, don't leave your plans on my bed, idiot.

Next year at Harvard, SAT stands for Stoned And Toasted.

Nice.

Nice. Thanks, eh.

Nine years ago. I was 8.

Nine.

No, but I don't think that's gonna be possible now.

No, but I don't think that's gonna be possible now.

No, it's not money, it's...

No, man. He's not strong enough to be a four,

No, no. Me and words are not so goodly.

No, not unless you can code Visual Basic.

No, she calls. She calls.

No, that.

No, we're not...

No, whatever. I mean, you know,

No?

No? No? No?

No.

No.

No. Guys, don't be sorry. That's two down.

No. It says, if X quarts of juice are added, what is the value of X?

No. Nature calls.

No. She was just kidding.

Nobody's gonna even use these answers?

Not anymore.

Not everybody can pull it off, but the dashing criminal thing

Not if it's your story.

Not just a mother.

Not quick enough to be a three.

Not quick enough to be a three.

Not yet. Wait for me.

Now he gets it.

Now I want you to sit on the floor, put your hands on your head.

Now we know what happens.

Now you deal with it.

Now, did you hear what I said about a shower and clean clothes?

Now, do you have some business with my son?

Now, every other weekend in New York,

Now, inside, Francesca's gonna ask the guard

Now, you see, that's what I'm talking about.

Of anyone who's gotten into Brown?

Oh, guess we won.

Oh, hell, no!

Oh, here she is!

Oh, I get it. Come on, team. Makes perfect sense.

Oh, man, not steps!

Oh, no, to be suspicious, he'd have to be interested.

Oh, no.

Oh, OK, something tells you.

Oh, OK.

Oh, SAT.

Oh, shit!

Oh, shit!

Oh, shit. I forgot the bolt cutters.

Oh, thank you! Here.

Oh, that's my brother. Hey.

Oh, yeah?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, you know what? That reminds me, I'm not going to Brown.

Oh, you like this girl?

OK, Anna, you and I will do verbal. Someone's gotta do math.

OK, I'll see you Tuesday.

OK, OK.

OK, so I didn't cheat on the test.

OK, who's helping Des?

OK.

OK.

On her own terms.

On top of everything else they deal with.

On top of that, the College Board settled a complaint

On what?

Once I'm up and in, Matty's gonna sign in

One comes to me, one goes to Ann Clark,

Only because they know they're expected to.

Only, by the time you're aware of it,

Open the letter, Matty.

Or ask me... Ask me how to rebuild a carburetor on a '71 Buick.

Or maybe not.

Or not.

Or porn.

Or...

Other than bailing you out?

P l E C E. You.

Pacey, I don't think you and Dawson can pull it off.

Pay attention. Please.

People join the cause.

Phone!

Photography?

Playing for St. John's.

Please.

Please.

Poor little rich girl thing is played out.

Print one. Print one. Print one, let's get out of here.

Really? I think we do.

Remember when you said that you were great at being Sandy's boyfriend?

Remember, Mom?

Rich white guys. Who has the highest scores?

Right. Exactly, exactly.

Rolled it, smoked it. Now it was time to ride the buzz.

Roommate's boyfriend.

Roy, what the hell are you doing here?

Roy, what time do you have?

Roy, you had money on it.

Roy! Roy, the guard.

Roy's trying to smoke Larry's comforter.

Sandy's gonna be crushed.

SAT stands for SAT. That's it.

SAT.

Say hello to your future, Matty.

Saying she has boxes to unload from her car, something she's done before.

Scholastic Aptitude Test. Then they got rid of that altogether.

Scores range from 500, you're going to community college, riding a bus,

Secretly A Tease.

See, and even if I did,

Septic And Toilets, SAT.

Set your phone to vibrate, call me back, OK?

Sever All Ties, SAT.

She all about college degrees. She worked three jobs.

She opens up the door, you haul ass.

She's busy.

She's gonna love this.

She's second in the class.

Shit happens.

Shit!

Shit.

Shit.

Shit. Shit.

Shit...

Shortly after midnight, this is me.

Sick And Twisted, SAT.

So all of this was for nothing?

So does Anna Ross, but she's not here.

So excuse me for being a bitch, but why is the valedictorian here?

So how'd it go?

So I'll start.

So we split it up. Can you access this from another computer?

So we'll watch out for the guards to make sure you cut them off.

So where do we go from here?

So why don't you go pro?

So you guys are gonna steal the SAT answers?

So you think it's me? Fine. I don't need this shit, no way.

So you'd design video games.

So you'll help us, then?

So, Anna, what types of things are you interested in besides photography?

So, what do you think, fair trade?

So, what does she say when you tell her that?

Socks.

Some guy answered.

Some inner voice signed off on this?

Some shit with the dynamic variables.

Someone's gotta take a crack at verbal. Francesca?

Something tells me she needs this as bad as we do.

Something tells you just to walk up to Anna Ross

Something to do?

Something to do?

Something to do.

Sorry, bro. Hope it comes out.

Speaking of college, Desmond kicked ass on the retest

Standardized testing is taking over.

Standardized, meaning they see us all the same.

Suck Ass Test?

Suck Ass Test.

Sure.

Sweet.

Take this kid, for instance.

Talk about your forbidden fruit.

Teachers have been letting me slide through forever.

Tell him about the pledge drive you coordinated. So wonderful.

Tell him about the pledge drive you coordinated. So wonderful.

Tell Roy I'm kicking his ass.

Ten hours.

Ten.

Test scores go up,

Thank you, Princeton, New Jersey!

Thank you, Roy.

Thank you.

Thanks.

That are here, here, here and here.

That bad, huh?

That every Christmas after you go to bed, Dad, Mom and I always sit up,

That explains everything.

That makes us all one faceless herd?

That the PSAT had a testicle bias for National Merit Scholarships.

That was before I knew you told the class brain.

That we've worked for on the eve of the biggest day of your life.

That you're gonna be left behind,

That's a shame.

That's all I'm trying to say.

That's Bernie. He's the lobby guard who hits on everybody.

That's funny.

That's kind of risky, isn't it?

That's Matty, Kyle's right hand man.

That's nice, Francesca. Why don't you just rub it in a little...

That's right, baby. Standardize this.

That's what that stands for.

The game run late? Anna's the yearbook photographer.

The girl at ETS.

The girl on the base line?

The guy I copied for said the master goes to 51 0 for filing

The guy who can throw down at the water cooler,

The guy who yakked in your Cutlass after the Radiohead show.

The guys at Brown will be disappointed.

The mailroom services the entire building.

The one the guard let pass.

The overachiever. You know the type.

The plans of one become the plans of six.

The point is that they are not playing fair.

The same as any other Friday.

The SAT ain't nothing.

The SAT did this!

The SAT is about who you'll be.

The SAT is pimping out my girlfriend!

The schools get more cash.

The stuff you won't find on a test.

The web page girl?

Their rotation isn't really precise, and we're gonna have flashlights.

Then I came to a story question.

Then she'll make appointments for me and Matty with her dad's firm.

Then there's Anna,

Then we won't be kissing, huh?

Then we'll take the real test with the stolen answers we were

Then why'd you say it?

There are security codes too.

There must be somebody we can talk to.

There's a camera around the corner, on the right.

There's no one we can talk to?

There's no time to get ready. And even if there was,

There's one school that turns out the greatest architects of our time,

These are the new mailroom slaves.

These questions all have answers.

They can change it by next Saturday.

They can't drive, but they can take the shit out of the SAT.

They have a test you're never gonna pass.

They hire a lot of guys straight out of high school.

They only need Roy.

They say misery loves company. Well, it really loves Matty.

They won't know you. Just act like you own the place.

They're messing with the rest of our lives.

They've got to supply the building owner

Think I did "Smoke on the Water."

Think of your families. Don't risk your life.

This fool is crazy.

This is it. Francesca?

This is my office.

This is our dinnertime. We don't interrupt your dinnertime, do we?

This is serious. Some of us got a lot to lose.

This is so cute, this whole thing going...

This is the floor plan for the regional ETS office tower.

This is the real world. You remember that.

This is the SAT I examination.

This is Tom Hackett, a friend who might be able to help us with Brown.

This is your last chance to get into Brown.

This lost youth of yours, you're gonna go into a shit pit.

This one's on me.

This shit ain't fair!

This shit is messed up.

This was it.

Three hours later, a man also boards.

Time.

To 1 600, you're Ivy League, driving a Porsche.

To be individuals, then they give us a standardized test

To disconnect the alarm on the rear door,

To get the score I need, as opposed to being a genius

To join Sandy at Maryland.

To pick up a few stones to throw at a bully that doesn't fight fair?

True Berry Blue.

Twenty five minutes into Saturday morning,

Two o'clock.

Unacceptable, Anna. You're out all night doing God knows what

Unbelievable. Francesca?

Unless your father owns the building...

Wait, wait, wait. Hold on.

Wait, wait. Are you telling me that after all of this,

Wait. Does this mean you're out, too, now?

Waiting till the last minute, huh?

Was that supposed to be tonight? Because tonight is wine tasting...

Was this morning.

Was your father suspicious?

We already have one part juice. So nine minus one equals X.

We asked students to sign a pledge to refrain from drug use and...

We can do this. We can all get where each one of us wants to go,

We can walk away right now, but what are we walking away to?

We did it.

We get the answers, and we get out.

We gotta do something, man.

We haven't done anything yet. What's going on with you?

We just gotta think of the easiest way to do it.

We know where the answers are. ETS.

We need you on the outside

We need your help.

We take it, they might get suspicious.

We think the answers are in this computer, but there's a password.

We'll take the stairs to the roof and wait for Francesca's keycard.

We'll take the test now so we can steal our own answers.

We're eating.

We're gonna use the keycard to get out.

We're really proud of you, honey.

We've never been so proud, son.

Well, "went to" doesn't help us, now, does it?

Well, at least she didn't bring the cops.

Well, come on, honey, sit down. Let me get that.

Well, could you give it to me?

Well, do you have something for me?

Well, Hasselhoff, it looks like you and me. We'll watch the lobby.

Well, here's the thing.

Well, I am,

Well, I don't know, Larry. Not good, probably.

Well, I guess I can.

Well, I hate to say it,

Well, I hope you covered the spread.

Well, I know it's not healthy.

Well, I mean, you know, he either zaps them with lightning or he...

Well, I'm sorry, Matty.

Well, I've seen worse.

Well, listen, I won't keep you any longer,

Well, look at the positives.

Well, probably, but then what?

Well, Roy,

Well, that didn't take long, now, did it?

Well, that was fun.

Well, that's up to you.

Well, there's hope for you yet, Roy.

Well, what was I supposed to do?

Well, what'd she say anyway?

Well, you weren't.

What about her?

What about the exam?

What are we, a fricking soup kitchen?

What are you doing?

What do you think?

What do you...? What...? What...?

What happened to me? What happened to you, Larry?

What if he recognizes you?

What if I mess it up again?

What run? There was no run.

What run? There was no run.

What school gave it to your uncle?

What school gave you this?

What score do you need on the test anyway?

What the hell. It sounds like fun.

What they wanna do the rest of their lives.

What would you do?

What you do with a pencil and paper, I can't learn that.

What you need is, you need 900 or better on the SATs.

What you're talking about is wrong. It's cheating.

What?

What?

What? I wasn't in it for the answers. Besides, I got a 1460 last semester.

What? Matt, come on. Give me your hand.

What's going on? Salute. Salute.

What's gonna change?

What's so great about her, I mean, aside from being smoke free?

What's that gonna do to their self esteem?

What's up?

What's up?

What's wrong, she doesn't call anymore?

What's your Thursday morning class?

When a woman boards a train at midnight

When did you have this little moment of clarity?

When I got home,

When I was 7, I built a log cabin out of Popsicle sticks.

When I was a kid,

When you walk into this room,

Where the hell's that on the test?

Where was this woman going?

Which brings me to point number two.

While I'm down here?

Who am l? Who are you?

Who are you?

Who is this?

Who says I'm wearing any?

Who the hell was that?

Who watch less than an hour of television a day.

Who's gonna get the job?

Who's gonna join me?

Who's heard the new Ataris disk.

Why are you here?

Why do you bite your fingernails?

Why do you smoke pot?

Why don't you give me that address.

Why should the fact that you're screwed ruin my big day, huh?

Why should we?

Why would you lock the door to this?

Why'd you bail on your exam?

Wine Tasting Tuesday.

With a copy, in case of an emergency.

With God knows whom. You're jeopardizing everything

With that big ass crow?

Wow. Check you out.

Yeah, and folding yourself up into a web page

Yeah, but I've never really done anything.

Yeah, but not like before.

Yeah, but she knows about it.

Yeah, but you'd just stress us out.

Yeah, copy room, right?

Yeah, easy for you to say. You do.

Yeah, I know. But maybe we can do it next Tuesday.

Yeah, it is, but if they want to put a number on that, then to hell with them.

Yeah, it was very successful.

Yeah, Sandy's room.

Yeah, that too, you know, but it's all of it.

Yeah, there's someone else besides me.

Yeah, we're gonna be great.

Yeah, well, whatever it was, it's over.

Yeah, what's the lowest SAT score you ever heard

Yeah, yes. A little.

Yeah, you're right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. He had a feeling about her.

Yeah. Well, like I said, it's...

Yep, they did.

Yes, I can.

Yes! Yes!

Yes. Yes, ma'am.

You are, aren't you?

You can go in the halls, and five out of six kids are not gonna have a clue

You could be the class brain,

You didn't plan on approaching.

You do not stay out all night. Do you hear me?

You don't have to wait there. Guard's not due for a couple hours.

You don't think I would like to sit up with my family on Christmas?

You don't think so? Who created the test?

You even know what SAT stands for?

You ever heard of the term "stereotype vulnerability"?

You ever think maybe we're not the only ones in this boat?

You feel pressured, deal with it. Feel stressed, deal with it.

You get to a red light in the middle of nowhere.

You get yourself a shower and some clean clothes. We'll wait.

You got mine?

You got your answers.

You gotta get this look.

You guys forgot your badges.

You guys see Desmond on TV this weekend?

You have 30 minutes.

You have a talent, Kyle.

You hear that?

You just don't know my mom, man.

You just found someone who let you be OK with yourself.

You know how they say, "Thank God my mother's not alive to see this"?

You know the guy who designed our bus barn?

You know what I was thinking in there?

You know what it stands for now?

You know what this means.

You know, a lot of people think these questions are difficult.

You know, I don't even know you,

You know, just because I play ball,

You know, one who cared more about the title of "parent"

You know, Sandy liked this blue color.

You know, your grade point average is a little bit on the low end

You look comfortable in your Old Navy cotton pullover.

You look like a slut.

You mess up on the SAT, you gotta live with it. Your parents, maybe.

You need three other passwords and three other people to print.

You need to get off that bong.

You promised.

You recognize her?

You said we could have the place tonight.

You said, "liked". You said, "Sandy liked".

You see? You don't.

You should. You should.

You sure they just need Roy?

You sure? It could be a little...

You talk a good game,

You think you can help me with that?

You think?

You told Anna Ross?

You wait.

You wanna help grade assignments? We're teaching kids to bubble in.

You want to know what we're up against or not?

You want to steal the answers to the SAT?

You were at your apartment with Sandy in Maryland.

You were supposed to be my big brother.

You weren't great at being some girl's boyfriend, Matty.

You won't. You're gonna do great.

You wouldn't get it.

You'll be fine.

You'll find I don't like to repeat myself.

You're a filthy man, Arnie.

You're a smart boy, Roy.

You're a smart boy, Roy. So why are you doing a stupid thing like drugs?

You're down to a 1 020?

You're driving, it's late,

You're gonna have a degree in one hand,

You're positive your brother's not there?

You're preaching to the converted.

You've assembled a crack team, chief.

Young sounding.

Your father and I have noticed the effort you've put into this retest.

Your game is not ready.

Your money's federally insured, you're not gonna lose it.

Your PSAT score wasn't so great.

"X is to Y..." As this shit is to boring.

A 900. And you're taking the math for us?

About what? Just don't.

All right. He'll be there. Thanks.

Alone? No, with Desmond and Anna.

And I need a card signed, "From..." "From your secret admirer."

and she said it was great. You know what? It was.

As long as it's in this office. Done. All right.

Can you talk to yours? My mom's dead.

Can you turn off the phone? You got a problem with me?

Can't you figure it out? Sure.

Clyde's. Dave, it's Matty.

Copy it. Copy it.

Cornell still worth it? Yeah.

D is eight. He's right. Sorry.

Did I do something? Yeah.

Did you bring your Floaties? It's all I could find.

Do I look like I need answers? You look like you need a pimp.

Do you have a plan? We're working on it.

Don't you sleep? Not tonight.

Dude, his wife is hot. Look. Come on, I'll help him take it back.

Eight. Yeah.

Francesca, is he in? Yeah, he's in. Plus two.

Francesca. Yeah?

Get your ass up! Yes, ma'am.

Give it to me. Who's your daddy now? Come on.

Go, go, go! Go, go, go!

Good. Good.

He won't recognize me. Oh, he might.

He's right, Des, come on. Come on.

He's right. We can do this. Unless we run out of time.

Hell, no. I'll go.

Hello? Roy, we need your help.

Here, sweetheart. So, great, great.

Hey, get down! Freeze!

Hey, Matty. What's up, man? I need some flowers delivered.

Hey. Hey.

Hi. Take a look at that.

How did you get this number? I'm the ghost, man.

I can't do this. Guys, I can't do this. Kyle, Kyle. It's done.

I don't have dinnertime. Well, that's a shame.

I don't know. OK.

I got your cell number, didn't l? So?

I like it. Thank you.

I will see you Tuesday. Bye.

I'm just taking notes. All right, this is ETS.

I'm not the valedictorian. Right, you're second.

I'm serious. Take them.

I'm sorry, man. Shut up, don't be.

Is he in? What the hell was that?

Is this the guy? Yeah.

It's a victimless crime. OK.

It's fruity, and yet, woody. Roy!

Kyle said we wouldn't have to, so... I think we do.

Kyle, come on, man. Matty, just try this, OK?

looks good on you. Yeah? Wait until you smell it.

Make the point, Matty. The point is,

Matt, come on. Matty. I'm good.

Matty... No, no, no.

May I speak honestly? Please, I wish you would.

Maybe we should go too. Just Roy.

Nature calls. Yeah, it's something, isn't it?

No, I don't need them. Come on, man, take them.

No, I'm not taking the test again. Matt, you got arrested.

No! Come on, Matt.

No. All right, guys, what is this?

No. Kyle, this is your dream, man.

No. Really?

No. Well, somebody's mother is, Roy,

No. Why not?

No. I can't. Come on, Anna. For me?

Not me. No?

Oh, Roy. Yeah, baby, you feel that?

Oh, sweet. Maybe we should.

OK, I'm here. OK, wait.

OK. I will see you Tuesday.

OK. No, go 2 o'clock.

Peace. Peace.

Roy, what's in your bag? Nothing.

Roy, you can't take this stuff. Why not?

Roy? Shit, man, you don't know D's mom.

Sandy? Yeah.

See what I mean? I would run a no kill animal shelter.

Shit. All right, grab my hand.

Shit. If you guys think we can somehow...

Shit. What's going on?

So are we gonna do this, or what? Yeah, we are.

So she's in? She said no.

So stay low and tight to the wall. What do we do if it sees us?

So we'll take the test again. Retest is in two weeks.

So who wants pancakes? Wait. Guys, the exam's right here.

So? Why did you take the guy's photo?

Tell him roses. Make it roses,

Tell Roy the same thing, OK? OK.

That's fucked up. Yeah, I know.

That's great. She's also involved

The address, please. 4207 Triumph Street.

You told Anna? You said you wouldn't freak out.

You walk much? My mask is fogged.

You're sure? Yeah.

You're wasting my time. Wait.
