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?

Terry

Sometimes I just wish I were a guy.

No, you don't. The male body needs sex at all times. It's a living hell.

Buddy
[Buddy teaches Terry how to act like a guy]

Very crucial. Something every guy does. Let me see you scratch your balls.

Budy
[Terry rolls her eyes at Buddy]

Hey, come on, try it.

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.

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

Can't you think of anything more profound than getting laid?

A blowjob?

Terry

Come on, Buddy, admit it. You would love to spend your entire life just using women's bodies.

Yeah, all but the last 60 seconds. I'd like a little time to reminisce.

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.

Sounds too kinky for me.

Terry

Budster, I need you. She needs you. You need her.

Is she really half-naked?

Terry

Maybe more by now.

What if you're lying?

Terry

What if I'm not?

Good point. If I'm not back in a week, forward my mail.

Terry
[Terry lays in bed moping about her article not being that great]

I know I could do better. I'm just confused.

Of course you're confused. You're wearing my underwear.

Terry

Budmeister, are you okay?

No, Terry, I'm not. Mom and Dad come home Monday. I've had two weeks of total freedom. The closest that I've come to sex was a girl who took her top off to seduce my sister. What's wrong with me?

Terry

I bet you're a little confused.

I think I understand.

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.
