Terry I am going to be a reporter.
Mr. Raymaker That's good. I like that attitude. But don't you think that it would be nice to have something to fall back on?
Terry Like what?
Mr. Raymaker Uh, well, you're a pretty girl, you could be a model.
Terry Be a model? Why? Because a pretty girl couldn't possibly have a brain?
B Buddy
[Buddy teaches Terry how to act like a guy]
Very crucial. Something every guy does. Let me see you scratch your balls.
B Budy
[Terry rolls her eyes at Buddy]
Hey, come on, try it.
B Buddy
[Terry scratches her jeans]
Wait a minute. Watch the master. Now first, there's your basic shift. [Buddy shifts his body with his balls] But that's not always enough. Sometimes you've got to get inside, dig a little, let some air in, move things around.
Terry Yeah, well, maybe my balls don't itch.
B Buddy
All balls itch. It's a fact!
I'm 15 years old. In two years, I reach the peak of my sexual powers. The clock is ticking. I have to get jamming.
Terry Can't you hear what you're saying? Aren't you a little embarrassed?
Nope. I'm horny. Horny will kick embarrassment's ass every time.
Terry Budster, listen to me. Don't you want your first time to be with someone you love?
I guarantee it, I'll be in love.
Terry [Rick and Terry talk in the boys' bathroom as Rick takes a leak unexpectedly]
What are you doing?
What's it look like I'm doing?
Terry Well, do you have to do that in here?
Seemed like the right time, certainly the right place.
Terry [Terry asks for Buddy's help with Sandy up in his bedroom]
Listen, there's a half-naked woman in your bedroom feeding pizza to some fish, and she's all yours.
Terry Budster, I need you. She needs you. You need her.
Is she really half-naked?
Terry Maybe more by now.
Terry What if I'm not?
Good point. If I'm not back in a week, forward my mail.
Terry I bet you're a little confused.
Terry I know I should've told you sooner, but, uh... I didn't. Um... I'm a...
[cuts her off]
Terry, I know. You're gay.
Terry I'm not gay.
Wait a minute. Now I'm confused.
Terry I'm a girl. I'm a woman.
[chuckles]
Right, and I'm Cyndi Lauper.
[Terry opens her tuxedo shirt and reveals her breasts to Rick]
Wait a minute, are those what I think they are?
Terry I'm sorry.
Where do you get off having tits?
Terry There was this contest, and I needed prove it, but then I stayed and I met you. And you're so wonderful that...
Shit... I can't believe this.
Terry Rick, I know you're mad, but I think you're terrific, and your friendship means so much to me that I just...
Then this whole thing was bullshit. Major bullshit.
...
[Terry kisses Rick in front of everybody at the prom] [pushes Terry off him]
It's okay, everybody. It's all right. He has tits.
Mr. Raymaker [after reading her article]
I'm sorry I misjudged you.
Terry You don't have to apologize. I wouldn't have this job if it weren't for you. I mean, you forced me to fight for what I wanted, and I will never forget you for that.
Mr. Raymaker [smiles]
Thank you.
