(Dialling phone)

Hi, Brandon?

It's Caitlin.

Who?

From the Big Squeeze.

I spilt juice on your jeans last

week?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, hi!

So, I was just calling to wish

you a happy New Year, in case I

don't see you tomorrow night.

I don't have any plans, by the

way.

Yeah, no.

Right.

Anyway, I should probably--

Later, bye.

(Dial tone droning)

Go.

(Wailing)

Oh, Jen, it's hopeless.

Tomorrow is the most important

social night of the year and I'm

totally single.

We could all ring in the new

year together, since none of us

got invited to anything.

Not even Jonesy?

Uh-uh.

That could be fun.

And, we'll get to see Nikki

and hear all about her trip.

JONESY: This sucks.

Tomorrow night is the most

important guy night of the year,

and I'm dateless.

Oh, no.

Even Darth has a date.

(Laughing, blowing noisemakers)

Oh, man.

What's the biggie, dude?

It's just one night.

Duh, you've got to score on

New Years Eve.

It sets the tone for the whole

year.

Starr's got family stuff, so

we pencilled in some lip action

on January .

Every girl wants to get

kissed at midnight.

I rest my case.

Yeah, well, we've got nowhere

to go, remember?

I say we crank this New Years

Eve thing up a notch.

We're gonna throw our own party.

And where will this

extravaganza take place?

Your house!

What?

It just so happens that Jen's

mama and my papa are going out

New Years Eve.

Which designates Jen's house as

party central.

Awesome!

Cool!

Perfect!

As if!

I can see it now.

Broken vases, crap everywhere to

clean up.

No way!

It'll just be your best

friends, Jen.

Not a bunch of strangers.

Except for a few hot chicks.

Can't you just ask your mom,

Jen?

Your place would be so perfect.

Please?

Your abode is pretty

party-friendly.

Come on, you can't leave us

homeless on the biggest party

night of the year!

Oh, all right; I'll ask.

(All chattering)

Whoa, slow down, guys!

I haven't even asked yet.

Oh, we're in.

ALL: Come on, Jen!

Oh, yeah!

Guess what?

I got the house for New Years

Eve!

I knew you could do it!

All right!

We'll have a sleepover.

Oh, yeah!

Now that I've actually been to

one, I can say that they do, in

fact, rock.

No foot rubs, dude.

And no makeovers, man.

Aww!

This New Years Eve will be

awesome.

I bet your dish sister

Courtney's psyched that I'm

staying over.

As if!

I had to agree to do the dishes

for two months to get her out of

the house.

Anyway, we have some fast party

planning to do.

I'll score some free DVD's

from work.

I'll put together a scrapbook

of our year together.

(Party horn blowing)

Hey, Wyatt!

Uhh...

Did Serena just say hi to me?

Hi, right back at ya!

Good luck...party planning!

Smooth.

JEN: But a deal is a deal,

Courtney.

I've already invited people.

Come on, it'll be fun.

Oh, fine.

I'll do your laundry for a

month, happy?

Cool.

Masterson!

Hey, Coach.

I just made my New Year's

resolution.

I'm doubling everyone's sales

quota, starting today.

What?!

That's right, a clean start

for the new year.

(Cell phone ringing)

Hello, welcome to hell.

Hey, Jen.

Listen up.

Nikki!

You don't know hell until--

(Child speaking gibberish)

You've had a toddler boot your

chair for two hours.

(Blowing raspberries)

(Screaming)

Well, the good news is that

I'm having a New Year's

sleepover.

Oh, thank you.

If I have to spend another night

with my family, I'm gonna lose

it.

Hang in there, Nikki.

I have no choice.

(Screaming)

Hi!

Hey.

Wyatt!

Oh, hi-- hi, hi.

I'm returning this DVD I



rented to watch with Chad.

I see.

We didn't even watch it.

We had a fight.

Things aren't going well.

This could wreck my whole New

Years Eve.

Gee, that's too bad.

If you want to talk about it--

Wow, thanks, Wyatt.

Maybe I'll call you later for

coffee if I need some advice.

Yeah, sure, sure!

Anytime at all.

Coffee's good; I have time for

coffee.

Watch it, boy-o.

Women are harsh.

Don't get sucked in, it's a

whirlpool of deceit.

We were only talking.

Yeah, that's the way it

starts, then they pluck out your

heart and stomp on it.

Trust me, they're all sisters.

JONESY: We need to get some

scary movies for New Years Eve.

Wayne, dude, what would you

recommend?

Well, The Big Pill is one of

the most horrific movies ever.

Middle-aged boring people

reliving their college days.

No, I mean real slasher

films.

Gruesome, gory stuff that makes

chicks cuddle you for support.

Cuddle?

Now you're scaring me.

Every chick wants to get

kissed on New Years Eve.

Every party is a potential score

fest.

Did you say something about a

party?

Only this years hottest New

Years Eve party, wanna come?

(Purring)

Sounds great!

I'm Jonesy.

Carly.

Simone.

(Giggling)

Wow, they were hot!

I remember those adolescent

years when I had to scare and

trick women into coming near me.

Humph.

Hey, whatever works, man.

Making this scrapbook will be

easy, Jen.

There are so many great sh*ts.

The ones of you are really

cute.

Brandon!

Gotta go!

It's Caitlin, isn't it?

What is?

Your name.

Oh, right.

You're the girl who called me

earlier, right?

Oh, see, that was--

'Cause I'm having a New Years

Eve party--

Yes!

I mean, sure, I'd love to come.

Great.

Here's an invite with all the

info; see you tomorrow night.

(Giggling)

Okay, here's the plan.

We get our hands on Christo's

New Years Eve party invitation

list, scan for the sweetest

looking chicks, then redirect

them to Jen's place.

Now, get in there and distract

Christo.

Right.

My man, this party's gonna be

a "whipper."

Brittany, Whitney and Latisha

are gonna wear matching bikini

tops.

JONESY: Latisha Bord?

Oh, yeah!

Did you locate the invite list?

Affirmative.

It's at the cash.



JONESY: Roger that, commence

distraction.

Yes, sir, Sergeant Dude.

Hey, man, check this out.

Yo, jerk!

What do you think you're doing?

Oh, hey, dudes.

I'm just looking for the

Sisterhood of the Backpacking

Khakis.

They're all the same movie,

loser.

Right.

(Whistling)

All right, freak.

Circus hour is over.

Courtney Monkman, Sicily Deacon,

Tricia Holmes!

With e-mails and phone numbers

too!

Score!

Thank you, party gods.

Whoa!

What do we do now?

Now we contact these fine

honeys, and tell them the bad

news.

Christo's party has been

cancelled due to parental

interference.

Cool!

(Sobbing)

Please be crying because

Chad's a jerk, please be crying

because Chad's a jerk.

Wyatt, over here!

Oh, thanks for coming over.

What happened?

Chad scored a ticket to the

Cronk concert, but he couldn't

get two, so he's going alone.

He's ditching me on New Years

Eve!

You mean, you're free?

I mean-- oh, that sucks.

I have to go to Charmaine's

party by myself.

It's so humiliating.

(Jazz music playing)

Well, you could come to Jen's

party tomorrow night.

Oh, thanks.

I'll think about it.

It's so sweet of you to offer.

Hugging is nice.

Nice to hug.

Watch this, dude.

(Imitating Christo's father:)

Hello, can I speak to Brandy?

This is Brandy.

Yes, this is Christo's father

speaking.

His mother and I just found out

that he's been planning a wild

party while we're away.

Oh, uh--

Well, the party is cancelled,

and my good for nothing ex-son

is grounded.

Christo just got busted!

We're stranded for New Years

Eve!

But I did hear about a party

at Jen Masterson's house.

I believe everyone's heading

over there.

Oh, great!

You wouldn't have her address,

would you?

As a matter of fact, I do.

When are you guys planning to

tell Jen about all these girls

you're inviting?

I think he's waiting for the

right moment.

Jen!

You look terrible; are you okay?

I was up late cleaning the

house.

And making brownies.

And painting Courtney's nails.

But at least this party will

rock.

Yeah, about that--

Hey, good call on the

scrapbook, by the way.

How's it coming?

You've only done one page?

Well, see, I--

The rest is doodles of you



and Brandon.

And what's this?

A checklist for your prom date

with him?!

Okay, I can explain.

Remember how Brandon didn't

really know I existed?

Well, now he does, and he asked

me out on a date tomorrow night.

What did you say?

Yes, I said yes.

It's not that bad, Caitlin.

It would have been nice if you

asked, but I guess he can come.

Not to your house, he invited

me to a huge party at his house.

You're ditching the g*ng for

a complete stranger?

You said New Years Eve is the

most important social night of

the year!

I'm sorry, Jen!

It's just that Brandon is so

cute, and he's so incredible

nice and--

Don't tell me!

Let me guess, he might be the

one?

Yeah!

(Imitating Christo's father:)

Hello?

Jen's address?

Yes, I happen to have it here,

LaFonda.

What?!

I'll have to call you back.

Hey there, Dad.

Hi, guys.

I can explain!

We get the picture, weasel.

You're scamming chicks from our

party and sending them to her

house.

But--

Just keep your distance,

Bonesy, or you may find yourself

missing a limb or two.

I don't think Jonesy picked

the right moment to tell Jen.

Nuh-uh.

Hey.

Wyatt, you are not gonna

believe this.

Jonesy and Jude were trying to

turn my party into some chick

fest!

It would have been awesome.

At least Carly and Simone are

still coming.

Dude.

Jude.

Yuck.

Actually, I wanted to talk to

you about your party.

I kind of need to keep tomorrow

open in case Serena needs me for

emotional support.

Serena?

The girl who ripped your heart

out?!

Yeah.

She's not sure if she's up for a

party, you know what I mean?

Oh, yeah.

I know what you mean.

Thanks, Jen.

I knew you'd understand.

Oh, I understand.

I understand I need a whole new

set of friends!

(Screaming)

♪

(Sighing)

Brandon, you're gonna be the

cutest prom date ever.

What's that about prom dates?

Brandon!

Oh, nothing, just daydreaming.

It looks good on you.

Why do you have a book filled

with hearts and Brandon &

Caitlin forever?

Who wrote that?

Must have been one of my

friends.

(Chuckling)

Is this a drawing of us at

the prom?

Looks like--

Hey, look--



I can't wait for tonight.

I'm really not into clingy,

stalker chicks.

Let's just forget about tonight.

Oh, that was bad.

Are you sure we should be

near Christo and Blade?

They look scary mad.

Hey, it's a free mall.

Besides, this is the only way to

get to Frilly and Pink, where

Carly and Simone work.

I need to make sure they're

coming tonight.

Oh, yeah.

Ladies, just doing the

rounds, making sure we're all

set for tonight's big party.

No, Christo invited us to his

place.

But, we asked you first!

We know you were trolling

Christo's invite list for girls.

But--

You're busted, dude.

Thanks for the update.

Wyatt, would you mind if we

just had a quiet night tonight?

(Jazz music playing)

No problem, I know just the

place.

Jen's party.

Oh, I don't know if I'm up

for a big party.

This one will be perfect, no

one's going!

Guess what?

Serena wants to come with me to

your party!

Too bad, it's cancelled.

What, why?!

Duh, because you all bailed

on me!

You guys were all--

"Let's ring in the new year

together, Jen.

It will be great, Jen."

And the next thing I know,

you're all chasing dates.

I guess friends don't matter to

any of you.

Sheesh, have a cow, why don't

you?

(Cell phone ringing)

What?

(Child singing)

You little rat bag.

Courtney?

Oh, it's me, Nikki.

Oh, have you landed yet?

No, we got rerouted.

I think we're in Tijuana.

Lucky you.

Yeah, that steaming tarmac

sure is exotic.

I can't wait to hang out at your

place tonight.

Don't hurry, the party's

cancelled.

What?

I thought we were supposed to

ring in the new year with all

our friends!

Newsflash, we don't have any

friends.

Okay, then.

Don't even think it, junior!

He was taken so...suddenly.

Brandon isn't dead; he dumped

you.

It's like he's dead to me.

It is?

Oh, guys just don't get it.

I need Jen.

I don't think we'll be seeing

her anytime soon.

Yeah, she hates us, remember?

New Years Eve is starting to

feel like an exam or something.

I just want to fail and get it

over with.

This is too much pressure for

me.

Where are you going?

I think that this year, I'll

just sit in my room, munch some

"grindage" and watch DVD's.

Cool, can I come over?

Sure, dude.

Can I bring Serena?



Yup.

Caitlin, you coming?

Sure, and I'm gonna get back

to work on this thing.

You know what else we have to

do?

JUDE: Oh, I know, dude.

Clock is ticking, Masterson!

That bonus is slipping away.

No choke artists on my team.

Quota, quota, quota!

Quota, "schmota."

I'm going to pretend that

that was just quota pressure

talking.

I was just gonna spend the

bonus on my friends anyway.

When I had friends.

(Clearing throat)

Come on, Jen.

We're sorry.

We have relocated the soiree

to my bedroom, and you're

invited.

To your bedroom?

That's your New Years Eve party?

Jen, please come.

It won't be New Years Eve

without you.

Okay, but I'm not forgiving

you.

I just don't have anywhere else

to go tonight.

(Sniffing)

Oh, gross!

You could have cleaned up!

I figured, what, with the

upcoming co-ed pillow fight, why

bother?

(Doorbell ringing)

Gotta get the door, make

yourself at home.

This New Years Eve sucks.

Hello?

Hey, it's me!

What's the matter?

Our New Years Eve party is in

Jude's bedroom.

I thought I had it rough.

It wouldn't be so bad if you

were here.

Look, I'll try to make it,

but we've only just landed.

Okay, it's just that--

(Dial tone buzzing)

Hello, Nikki?

You there?

Ugh!

Hey, Jen.

You remember Serena.

You're the one who stomped on

Wyatt's heart, aren't you?

Um, yeah.

Did some animal get loose in

here?

That's just my gym socks.

Sit anywhere that doesn't move,

dudes.

Here, I brought us some

horror flicks.

Some good that'll do me.

There's not gonna be any action

here.

I brought Mega Fat Chips.

Might as well eat to dull the

pain of losing Brandon.

Good call.

I just don't understand why

Chad was so thoughtless.

You deserve someone who loves

and respects you, Serena.

(Horror movie music playing)

Oh, you're such a sweet guy,

Wyatt.

I'm so glad you're still in my

life.

I feel the same way.

(Jazz music playing)

(Cell phone ringing)

Chad, where are you, baby?

(Indistinct chattering)

Really?

I've been thinking about you

too, love.

Oh, where am I?

Oh, nowhere special.

ALL: Ooh!

That was Chad.

Yeah, I figured.

He skipped his concert so he



could be with me.

I've gotta go!

Chad and I want to be together

at the stroke of midnight.

Yeah, but--

I am such a moron.

No, you're not.

You just have a big heart.

Yeah, and we've got some

"grindage" that needs munching.

And we can look at the

scrapbook I put together!

Get over here.

Come on, over here, Wyatt.

Get over here, dude.

We love you!

Let's see that million-dollar

smile, come on!

JONESY: Next year, you'll be

a chick magnet!

CAITLIN: That's it!

Come on, Wyatt.

(Laughing)

Hey, guys!

Nikki!

Have we got a lot of catching up

Come on!
