[bunniefuu]

this is really cool yeah it's like we're

floating around in space eating potato

chips hey don't get any chips in my bed

oh I think really

them up in my old house when I was 10 we

moved they moved guess where Heaven is

open the stars there is no Heaven what

[Music]

the

[Music]

man I still can't believe she kicked us

out never been kicked out anywhere

before me neither she doesn't even know

us lounging in her daughter's bed

probably wasn't the best way to win her

over she's a girl parents get all weird

about guys hanging out with their

daughters in

bed we're all just friends right oh

totally I don't find you attractive at

all I mean it you don't like her like

that do you why do you I asked you

first she's our friend exactly my point

think she's all right yeah I'm sure Mom

probably forgotten about all this by now

because I'm your mother I can't believe

you're pulling me because I'm your

mother card you're a writer can't you

come up with something more original

than that what in the world were you

thinking having two boys in the house

when I'm not home let alone in your room

on your bed I was thinking that my

mother wasn't going to go ballistic

because I invited two non- girls over to

hang out well you thought wrong no boys

in the house when I'm not home period

That's sexist that's gender

discrimination that's PC baloney and you

know it it's not like we were doing

anything they're just my friends good

then you don't need to be home alone

with them that's the rule I've never had

house rules before you've never needed

them before

whatever my house Ash my

[Music]

rules Hurricane Floyd was

brutal floods

winds chaos over the Caribbean Floyd was

at level four and in the saffr Simpson

hurricane scale but with maximum

sustained winds of 130 KN it was almost

a five by the time it reached North

Carolina on September 16th

1999 it had dropped to a category 2 with

winds approaching 90

knots now Seattle's weather center is

currently reporting a storm head of this

way class so we will treat this as a

real

emergency focusing and recording the

steps and precautions that we would take

were the storm to reach the proportions

and magnitude of Hurricane Floyd So pair

up I want you to uh research for a

presentation in class tomorrow on the

term state of emergency and how it

relates to the m*ssacre of hurricane

go I wish I was in your class I love

storms I I used to make popcorn and

watch them with my dad like they were

don't he's out of a job that's what they

hired him

[Applause]

for yes hey Mr P hey why do guys like

do with rules come on I need the

challenge humor me come

over your shot over my life

your mom is driving me crazy out of the

blue

okay no it's been worse since we moved

here she's worried about you too worried

have you talked to

i have

the kind of talk where you sit down and

connect

or the kind where you freak out and yell

at each other

mostly the second

it's kind of hard to hear each other

that way no kidding

you know a lot of kids bring their

parents by here for me to talk to them

use me as a mediator it keeps things

cool bring my mom to school uh thanks

you know what i mean i mean this storm

is just crazy hurricane fluid i just

can't take it

i'm sorry

he's getting worse but technically it

can't be a hurricane we're on the west

coast if anything it's a typhoon which

it's not actually with the speed

temperature and pressure of the storm

it's more like a mild tropical

depression wow how did you know all that

stuff i looked it up stone's robbed even

weathermen are cool it's like they're

psychic

like me i predict that that's ash's mom

bingo hi mom i love you too

does she ever stop using that thing no

but i do

oh my god this is exactly how it

starts no communication no power

excellent no homework wait no maybe the

power's on at my house i can use my

computer

what about your mom if she starts making

rules that makes sense then i'll follow

them

pager to reach me page

hey guys try not to spill anything in

here okay is this your dad

yeah what was he like he was great he

always had positive attitude about

everything and never anybody had a

problem he would just say to be okay

that's good advice yeah i wish my mom

would take it how old were you when they

split up 11.

if they're divorced how come she misses

them so much

i can't even imagine that

last time my parents even spoke to each

other they were screaming

no you guys i can't have anybody over

here

come on

sorry ma'am

you

stayed

this isn't good huh not at

all

what's the best thing about a dq

okay i'm sorry

for what exactly

for having guys over when you weren't

hot after i told you not to wait why do

we need all of these rules anyway

why can't you just trust me how about

because the first rule i make you break

after 12 hours

we need rules ashley you never needed

them when dad was alive

maybe we did your father could have used

some rules

that's your problem mom

you never appreciated his fun crazy

spirit you may have divorced report but

i didn't

you are grounded for how long forever

me

bites but you do Ashley's mom

practically quarantined her thanks to

you and your friend me

you called me all I did was pick you up

how was that supposed to know I was

entering a Warsaw

and we should have helped you Dylan I

know this is twice in one week we've

messed up her life

come in

I hate this so do I

I've never fought like this before I

know

we always had dads mediate remember

he thought both sides so clearly and

always had the perfect compromise yeah

he did

I saw my guidance counselor today to

talk about you

are you mad

mad no no just uh

little surprise Maybe

I like him he's he's nice um and he

offered to see us both if we want

both of us huh mom come on I don't want

to keep fighting with you

no

just just tell me when

tomorrow uh four o'clock

I'll be there

once Hurricane Floyd was over nothing

would be the same for the town it hit

but eventually a new life would begin

for its survivors

technology can only take us as far as

our ability to communicate it to others

then again there's nothing wrong with

being prepared

see this this is what I call Jermaine's

hurricane emergency kit I used an

earthquake checklist as a model this

Baby's got me all good

prepared for anything it's a little

heavy but it's worth it

Mr Green Miss Gordon

a plus

why didn't you return my pages

turn my beeper off you see what I mean

Mom hey hey

to each other

Ashley why did you turn your pager off

because you're stalking me I can't have

a normal school day without a Hello

message or pick up eggs message look I'm

just trying to protect her I don't think

I need that much protection yes you do

anything could happen Mom that's life

things happen you can't predict them and

you can't stop them people have heart

attacks all of a sudden without warning

and they die and you can't live

terrified and you can't keep me prisoner

so that nothing bad ever happens to me

of course not but it doesn't mean that

you can disrespect me and disobey my

rules I know I'm sorry you want me to

trust you you've got to trust me too I

do

I just

I don't want to lose you

where are you going to lose me in the

cafeteria

you can't keep checking up on me every

five minutes I have to live first

I think I can make some compromises

come here give me the pager

wait

need me

a case of emergency

listen uh we owe you an apology yeah

this whole thing wasn't only Ash's fault

we broke your rules and we're really

sorry

thank you

you know what let's start over

why don't both of you come over for

dinner tonight okay

oh no no we'll get it

okay I just um just be careful with the

you know what

never mind

so uh I'll just um

be in my room

watching a movie

if you need anything

have fun thanks thanks for dinner yeah

it was really great

soon

this was really nice

thanks

so looks like my personal state of

emergency is finally over uh don't worry

I'm sure we'll find some new ways to

stir up the weather around here

so do you really mean what you said the

other night you know believe in heaven

what's the point if everything's so

great after you die there's nothing to

live for what about God no no Heaven no

God how can you not believe in God

I just don't not anymore I do well you

have to you're Catholic no that's not it

I really believe there's something out

there something bigger than us

it is open mom

I know

it's good to see that she trusts you

she's working on it so you think she's

cool with this now now that she's gotten

to know the truth probably not
