No, what's it mean?

You're gonna have to get some tights.

If you imagined it with dancers you should do it!

Where am I going to get dancers?

You know, you do go to a school just busting with kids in tights!

Mac Carter
[after Tyler gets in a fight at a party]

You feel like because you're a white boy you gotta overcompensate or something?

Hey, if you're Montel and you're Jerry, then I'm like...

Except Ellen gets more chicks than he does!

[laughing]

Come on man! Tell me, have you seen a tear?

Man, what is this?

See that one right there. Go get it.

Tyler Gage

That car's got an alarm on it.

[the car alarm goes off and the boys run away]

Dude, I told you that alarm was gonna go off.

Guess what she bought for us. Cap'n crunch. Peanut butter Cap'n crunch. I told you she liked us.

Camille
[takes bite of cereal]
Tyler Gage

Let me get a bite of that?

Camille

Okay. One bite, just one bite.

Camille
[Tyler takes the bowl and has a huge bite]

That's the biggest bite I've ever seen! Come on! Give it back!

Tyler Gage
[Tyler takes another bite]
Camille

Get your own! I spit on that spoon!

Camille
[Tyler pushes it back]

Oh yeah, now you give it back.

Director Gordon

And you say that he can dance?

Nora

He's... adequate.

Tyler Gage

Adequate?

Director Gordon

See. That's my concern. He's not taking this seriously.

Tyler Gage

Look, I'm sorry. It's just... ya'll are talking about dancing like it's rocket science or something.

Nora

It's just for a couple of weeks. Until Andrew gets better.

Tyler Gage

Yeah.

Director Gordon

This would be your risk Nora. It's your Senior piece.

Nora

I know.

Director Gordon

Well, don't make me regret my decision.

Nora
[talking to Tyler]

2:30 tomorrow. Bring your tights.

Tyler Gage

Tights? Wait. What?

Director Gordon

See, that's my concern... he's not taking this seriously.

Tyler Gage

Well, I'm sorry... it's just that you guys talk about dancing like it's rocket science or something.

Skinny Carter
[coming back from playing a basketball game]

Man, I was droppin' dimes today!

Mac Carter

Man, you tripped over your own shoes!

Tyler Gage

Twice actually, but you rolled outta the second one pretty nice, you played it off pretty cool.

Camille

Are you going to jail?

Tyler Gage

No, I'm not going to jail, but they will have to take me to jail if you don't start knocking. Get outta here.

Miles Darby

I left my G-4 at home.

Tyler Gage
[coughing]

It's in his bag.

Miles Darby

Look, I can play it alright. I just prefer playin' wit myself.

Tyler Gage

Woa, what?

Lucy Avila

He makes it too easy.

Miles Darby

No, not playin' wit myself. Just listen.
