What about this one?
Too poofy.
Ooh, how about that?
That is hot.
You could totally carry that
off.
Still looking for new styles
for the dance tomorrow night?
Why don't you just wear
something you already have?
Yeah right.
This is our first homecoming
dance.
We've been saving our
paycheques for a month.
It's a major milestone in a
girls life.
Is this major for dudes too?
No.
Cool.
I don't know why you're going
with those guys anyway.
Jerry and Pete are wimps.
They are not.
They're athletes.
Tennis isn't a sport.
And what qualifies as a
sport?
You have to be able to knock
someone else down.
Tennis players have amazing
bodies.
Wimps.
Okay, I'm ending this
conversation now.
Well, I'm flying solo.
You are?
Why?
I just feel that I should be
focussing all of my energy on my
skating at this particular time.
Starr hasn't taken you back
after that barfing incident?
Not yet.
Well I don't care what you
think.
Jerry is hot and I can't wait!

So who's your date for the
dance?
I'm still waiting for that
world famous supermodel to call
me back.
But if she doesn't, Nikki and I
will probably kick it together.
And Wyatt and Serena are
going.
You know it.
It's the first time I'm going to
a high school dance with a
girlfriend.
Check it out.
It's our two and a half month
anniversary today.
Awww, Wyatt.
CAITLIN: That's so sweet.
Two and a half month
anniversary?
What is that?
You gotta get a girl a
present for half a month?
No you don't have to.
I just, I don't know, wanted to.
[Sighing]
Maybe if you're lucky, your
wimpy dates will bring you
presents.
Hey!
[Gasping]
[Laughing]
Serena, Charmaine, what's up?
Nice going.
You just hit my girlfriend's
friend with a fry.
If she had better reflexes it
could have been a snack.
Right.
Thanks for the tip.
What's happening?
Rumour has it my parents are
in the mall today.
I told them I'd be at the
library today studying.
But it's a P.D. day.
P.D.
Party dudes.
We're not supposed to be
studying.
Tell that to Mr. and Mrs.
everyone in our family gets
straight A's.
If they catch me they'll ground
me.
Then you won't be able to go
to the dance.
Jude, I need you to run
interference.
You're good at distracting
people.
It's my good looks.
What are they wearing?
Probably something from .
Right, I'm on it.
And remember on the Eiffel
Tower.
That hat he was wearing.
Oh, so bad.
Mad ugly chapeau garcon.
WYATT: Hey, Serena.
Can I talk to you?
I've got some work to do
anyway.
Catch you later.
What's up?
I was going to give this to
you tomorrow but since today's
our actual anniversary, here.
Wow, Wyatt, it's really
beautiful.
I didn't get you anything.
That's cool.
I'm just glad you like it.
Want me to help you put it on?
Actually I think I'll save
it.
It's too special just to wear to
work.
That's cool.
Hey, do you want to meet me at
the food court at lunch?
Oh, okay, sure.
Cool, maybe you can get to
know the g*ng before the dance.
See ya.
See ya.
So I already blew half my
budget on these strappy shoes.
They're three inches high.
Can you walk in them?
Shoes that are made for
walking are never the cute
shoes.
Ooh, pit stop, come on.
Huh?
Step right up, we've got
fancy pants butternut squash,
this brown mushroom one and an
old school chicken noodle that's
not half bad.
And I thought my hat was
ugly.
I heard that.
The mushroom one is the best.
I'm allergic to mushrooms.
What happens if you eat them?
You wouldn't die or anything
would you?
I just get a huge stomach
ache.
Last time I ate something with
mushrooms in the sauce I was in
the "El Sporto" washroom for
four hours.
Ew.
Ew.
Back it up, stinky.
You're scaring away the
customers.
So we've got all day to find
the perfect dress.
Where can we start?
Oh my gosh.
Oof!
I was born to wear this
dress.
It's called the Look At Me
dress because everyone will look
at you when you wear it.
It's so pretty.
Do you have it in any other
colours?
Oh no, this is the last one
in the whole store.
You did see it first.
Oh, go for it.
[Squealing]
Thanks, Jen.
Oh it's such a great dress.
Thanks.
We'll find you your dream dress
too.
Don't worry.
[Screaming]
Oh no, I can't afford this.
I've already bought those shoes.
I guess nobody will be
looking at you.
Come again when you have
more money.
Have a khaki day.
Hmm.
Okay, this guy at soup
village says it's impossible to
eat crackers in one minute
without a drink.
A buck says neither of you can
do it.
You're on.
Hey guys.
What are you doing?
Stuffing our faces.
It was a dare.
Nothing.
Want to join us?
You can help us with our
little experiment we're doing.
I told you dude it's impossible.
You guys owe me a buck.
I'll catch you later, Wyatt.
Okay, I look so hot in this.
I thought you couldn't afford
it?
No, Caitlin couldn't afford
it.
Don't tell her I bought it
though.
You do realize you're going
to the same dance.
Yes, but once she finds her
new perfect dress she'll forget
all about this one.
[Gasping]
Uh oh.
Jen, what are you doing in my
new dress?
Good plan.
Nothing.
What are you doing here?
I decided I really wanted the
dress so I returned my new
shoes.
Too late, she's buying it.
Okay, calm down.
It's not really your dress,
Caitlin.
I am calm and yes it is,
dress stealer.
[Gasping]
I don't see your name on it.
But I saw it first.
That's like totally against girl
rules.
The I saw it first rule
doesn't count if you can't buy
it.
Right Nikki?
Oh no, I'm not getting
dragged in to this.
I'm going for lunch.
I agree with her.
But it's my look at me dress.
Yeah you can't do that to
someone.
Ring ring, wake up call.
It can't be her dress if she's
buying it.
Hmm.
Thank you.
That's it.
We are so not going to the dance
together.
JEN: Fine.
Fine.
Fine.
Once I ate so much chocolate
I started to shake.
Ah, yet another stimulating
conversation.
[Screaming]
Hello, anyone home?
Quick, do something.
Okay.
Fire!
Quick, evacuate the mall.
Now.
Don't just stand there.
Run, save yourselves.
Oh, that was so embarrassing.
Did you see those outfits?
They had those before I was
born.
[Laughing]
They were pretty stylish.
They won't be bothering you
for a little while.
[Phone ringing]
Aww, love birds exchanging
poems over their phones now?
Let me guess, it says I love
you my little "Wyattkins."
No.
[Gibberish]
I don't get it.
I think she just dumped me.
On a text message.
No way.
She broke up with you on a
text message?
What was she thinking?
Even I'd never do that.
That's "harshing" my mellow,
dude.
It's not you, it's me.
Yeah right.
Hate to break it to you dude but
it's definitely you.
Okay, you can not believe
what Jen just did to me.
Can it top Serena dumping
Wyatt in a text message?
[Gasping]
You poor thing.
Why is everyone just sitting
around?
He needs tissues, sad music and
chocolate fudge sundaes stat.
I'm on the ice cream.
I'll grab the tissues.
Here I have some really sad
Sarah McLaughlin pre programmed
for the first day after breakup.
And some Alanis Morissette for
later when you hit your angry
phase.
No thanks.
I think I know best, Wyatt.
I've been dumped more than
anyone.
No, chick music.
Jonesy.
I'll tell you what he needs.
A new, hotter girlfriend.
And I'm gonna find him one for
you.
Come on, I've got a great gig
for meeting chicks.
You can't skip the ice cream
stage.
Come back.
They never listen.
[Gasping]
My dress.
I've got to get shopping.
Okay, I'll be your wingman.
Just try to look cool.
[Groaning]
Okay.
Maybe you need more of a pilot.
I'll flirt on your behalf.
Look alive.
Incoming hotties.
Hey there, looking for a date?
Yeah right.
Nice hat.
Oh it's not for me.
It's for my friend here.
He doesn't look very fun.
Dude, I can't help you here
if you don't want to help
yourself.
Those were grade A hotties.
It's Serena.
Dude, you've got to show her
that you're back on the market.
Hey, Wyatt.
[Groaning]
Okay then.
Pathetic.
Jen, I think I should just
re-remind you that I saw it
first.
I already bought it.
Remember?
That's why you should take it
back and let me buy it.
It's only fair.
Caitlin, forget it.
There are hundreds of dresses in
this mall.
But I've been looking all day
and I haven't found anything I
like.
It's my dream dress.
Please.
Hmm.
You just don't want to give
it to me because you know I look
cuter in it than you do.
Oh that's it.
You can follow me around all day
but I suggest you spend your
energy shopping for a new dress
instead.
Because I am not giving you
mine.
Fine I will.
Fine, go then.
I am.
Ah, nuts.
Jude, I need you now.
Isle three just outside the
barn.
JUDE: Be right there.
Mr. and Mrs. Wong?
Remember me?
I'm the kid that peed in Nikki's
Mr. Fishy pool.
Have you seen the sick
underwater exhibit here?
They let you feed fish heads to
the sharks.
[Beeping]
Excuse me.
Yo.
Good work.
There's a "giganto: sized
popcorn in this for you if you
keep them busy for a few more
hours.
Nice, I'm in.
NIKKI: Hey Wyatt, what's up?
Oh, what am I going to do?
The first thing you need is
answers.
You can't get closure without
answers.
Like how could she do it on text
messaging.
You got dumped on text
messaging?
That is so cold.
So are you ready to confront
her?
I think so.
I just need to know.
Then let's do it.
[Sighing]
What's the matter, dude-ette?
I have nothing to wear to the
dance.
Bummer.
Maybe a taste of my newest
creation will cheer you up?
Mushroom pizza stick-its?
Mmm, this is actually really
good.
It's the ground up mushrooms
that give it it's delicious
fungus-y flavour.
Kind of like feet.
I wouldn't use that in your
ads.
Where are Nikki's parents?
Feeding sharks.
I thought I'd introduce them to
a little culture.
That looks so good.
I'm starving.
Yeah, taking other people's
dresses really works up an
appetite.
Hmm.
What's going on?
Why don't you ask Jen?
Hey Jen, stolen anyone else's
dress lately?
Okay, you need to get a grip
on reality here.
It's just a dress.
Yeah, my dress.
Okay look, I'll help you find
another one.
How's that?
Wait, Jen.
What?
sLast time I ate mushrooms I wa
rin the "El Sporto" washroom fo
four hours.
Oh nothing.
Mmm, Jude, this is the best
stick-it I've ever tasted.
I know, so good.
The mushroom pizza stick-it
is a triumph.
I am so good at this.
Yeah it will be a real hit.
Oh what did I do?
These weasels are awesome.
I told you.
Oh I know, let's shop where
Nikki shops and get some hip new
threads.
JUDE: Okay, Nikki's parents.
We will shop at The Khaki Barn.
[Gasping]
What are you doing in here?
They said they wanted to shop
where you shop.
I don't shop here.
Check out the fresh vintage.
This is so me in years.
Get them out of here.
Do you want to look boring
like everyone else?
Or would you rather I put you in
some sick threads and make you
look cool like me?
Like you, dude.
Do you want me to go with
you?
I could hurt her for you.
I learned this really good shin
kick.
I need to do this on my own.
Okay well I'll be here if you
need me.
Hey.
Hey.
So I just wanted to know,
why'd you break up with me?
Well the thing is, I think
I'm getting back together with
Chad.
Chad?
It just kind of happened on
our senior trip to Paris.
You dumped Wyatt for Chad?
Wyatt's one of the nicest guys
in the world.
And how could you break up with
someone on text messaging?
Ouch, that's how you did it
babe?
Sorry dude, that's cold.
Ahem.
I'll just be back here.
I mean he's cool but the
guy's practically in a coma.
[Thudding]
Ouch.
It's a maturity thing.
He's just kind of cool about the
things I need him to be cool
about.
Name one time I haven't been
mature.
How about when you pretended
to like all those grown-up
things so I'd like you.
Well, okay there was that
time.
Oh and there's also the time
you started tripping because I
was wearing that stupid old
bandanna.
And then there was that other
time...
Okay okay I get the point.
I was going to tell you but
when you gave me that present I
just couldn't do it to your
face.
I'm sorry I hurt you, Wyatt.
You can have your bracelet back.
No, you keep it.
I got it for you.
That's it?
You're just going to walk away?
Oh I get it, you're planning
revenge.
I can be really useful in that
regard.
That's okay.
She's right.
I wasn't mature enough for her.
But one day I will be and it'll
be her loss.
You know when all the girls
realize that bad boys aren't
where it's at they'll be
fighting over you, right?
When's that happen?
I think around age .
See, I told you that's what
you needed.
You just weren't ready yet.
Don't give up yet, buddy, I'm
going to find you a hot chick by
tomorrow night if it kills me.
And I finally found a dress.
So if Jonesy scares all the
girls away you can come with us.
How's he doing?
He'll survive.
Did you find a dress?
Yeah.
It's not as special as yours or
anything but...
Good, 'cause I was thinking
that maybe you should get to
wear the dress after all.
I'll wear yours.
You will?
Yeah, it means more to you
anyway and you did kind of see
it first.
Oh, thank you, thank you,
thank you.
You're the best.
There you are.
Okay, we've decided you have to
go with us to the dance
tomorrow.
We'll all be matching.
That's the look at me dress.
You all have one?
Duh, employee discount.
We bought them the day they came
in.
They are so fetch.
We're doing a dress rehearsal
tonight.
Want to see our routine?
Five, six, seven, eight.
Whoa.
♪
Yes!
That was kickin'.
We're so hot.
See you at the dance
tomorrow.
Dress buddy.
What?
I told you it's yours.
I can't wear it now.
People will think I'm with them.
Well I don't want it.
Oh man, the stores are closing.
I won't even have time to
exchange it for something else.
I guess my lame dress isn't
quite as lame as yours now.
Okay, neither of you can go
in that dress 'cause then I'll
be too embarrassed to be seen
with either of you.
Give them to me.
♪
There, now they're both
somewhat cool.
Nikki, these are awesome.
I know.
So are we all friends now?
Definitely.
Ooh, the movies are about to
start.
Cool.
Let's do it.
Sweet.
Ahh.
Actually guys, I don't feel so
good.
Oh no.
Oh Jen.
I've done something really
wrong.
What are you talking about?
I'm the one who stole your
dress.
I think we should get you to
the washrooms fast.
[Groaning and farting]
JEN: Ah, this feels just like
the time I ate mushrooms at "El
Sporto's."
Must have been something you
ate.
Ohh!
Okay, Jen don't worry I'm not
going to leave your side until
this is all over, okay?
I'll just wait for you outside
the door.
JEN: Okay.
Nikki it's horrible.
Who knew mushrooms could be that
gross.
Oh I know.
I was with her that day at "El
Sporto's."
Where did Jen get the mushrooms?
She's usually really careful
about that.
Okay, maybe I shared my pizza
kebab with her and maybe I
didn't tell her what's in it.
Hmm.
But I didn't know it would be
this bad.
It's not like I made her eat
it.
She just took it.
She would have eaten it even if
I wasn't there.
But you were.
And now you're going to be in
there by her side until she
feels better.
[Sighing]
Enjoy the movie.
JEN: Yuck.
Oh, so sick!
Do I know how to cure a
broken heart or what, dude?
I do feel a bit better.
So then the guy asks...
Whoa.
Now I feel much better.
Dude.
Aren't your parents at the
mall today?
What if they see us?
Oh relax.
They'd never come to a movie
like this.
Right.
Soup?
I got fired today but they felt
bad that I missed my dinner
break so I got some free soup.
Score.
Looking good, Mr. and Mrs.
Wong.
Thanks, dude.
Aren't Nikki and Jonesy back
there?
Excuse me, can we just get
by-- Ohh!
Nikki?
Mom?
Dad?
What are you wearing?
Jude?!
