01x05 - You Can't Just Walk Out of a Drive-In

[bunniefuu]

- I don't want pity votes.
- Why not?

They count just as
much as regular votes.

The election is in three days!

What are we gonna do?

[XYLOPHONE CHIMES]

We will be instituting a dress code.

No jackets!

Let's cut class.

Can I help you, Ms. Valdovinos?

What did happen between you two?

We were in love.

I will play Juliet,

and the rest will be peasants.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Juliet?

A tomboy Juliet!

A maimed Romeo!

We are really going to
shake things up around here.

We'll just have to find another way

to get people's attention.

They want to pit us against each other

so they can control us!

- Sorry, Teach!
- Ah! Hey, no!

See what we can do
when we work together?

You know something?

I'm starting like school.

[CLASSIC ROCK MUSIC]

First, you'll have to know what happens

when an atomic b*mb explodes.

You'll know when it comes.

We hope it never comes,
but you must get ready.

Be like Burt. When there is a flash,

duck, and cover, and do it fast.

If you are not ready and
do not know what to do,

it could hurt you in different ways.

It could knock you down
hard or throw you against...

If the b*mb does drop,
you're all welcome

to stay in my b*mb shelter.

It seats , but there's
only enough food for six,

so BYOF.

Jane's got momentum.

People's minds are made up.

So we'll change them.

We have to.

Hey, you know, maybe the U.S.

could have handed out
turtle shells in Hiroshima.

I would've done it, but my family and I

were busy being imprisoned
by our own government.

Forget the b*mb!

Wait till we light up the
sky tonight with these!

We are going to pull so many pranks.

No pranks at the drive-in tonight.

I want to watch the movie.

You want to watch it
next to me, sweetheart?

[SIGHS] Fine.

Hey, Nancy, Gil's gonna give us a ride.

- Oh.
- Me three! Me three!

They never saw it coming.

What's hitting you, Facciano?

I just have this feeling

something bad is gonna happen tonight.

Not on my watch.

Halloween is my Christmas.

Yeah, relax, the election's in the bag

after we got everyone's jackets back.

Buddy would need a miracle to win.

I know. I know.

Everything's good.

The election, Richie.

But it's always calmest
right before the storm.

[PENSIVE MUSIC]

So let's be ready
every day, all the time,

to do the right thing if
the atomic b*mb explodes.

Duck and cover.

Me, my sister, the whole school.

Pretending it's all
for the greater good,

but it's all about you!

Vote for Jane, everyone,

so she can be popular,
and go to college,

and be the most perfect-est
girl there ever was!

Golly!

Stop it. You're being a jerk.

I know the real reason

why you don't want to wear my jacket.

Because being with the guy like me

brings down your stock.

That's not fair.

You're telling me.

Aye, pilgrim, lips that
they must use in prayer.

O, then, dear saint, let
lips do what hands do.

They pray, grant though
lest faith turn to despair.

Saints do not move,

though grant, for prayers' sake.

Then move not

while my prayer's effect I take.

Kiss, kiss, and scene.

Nice.

- I still hate you.
- OK.

I don't weep often...

maybe once, twice a day...

but this has brought me tears of joy!

The range! The vulnerability!

And, Buddy, you're still a force.

Thank you.

But, Cynthia,

you're a revelation.

Thanks.

Lydia.

Those practice sessions worked.

She's improved.

Double them.

I want you two practicing
every single day.

Hey!

We were gonna get you
flowers, but they die.

This is forever.

You can still pull off a win.

Not everyone blames you for
what happened last night.

Yeah, let's go celebrate
with banana splits.

My parents will make us pay,

but I can just steal the money
back from the register later.

[CHUCKLES]

I think I'm just gonna go home.

But thanks for this.

It means a lot.

Pretty crazy night last night, huh?

Yeah. Where'd you go?

I was at the party.

If you say so.

.

Well, it looks like we're
living through history.

Rydell High has its
first female president.

Are you sure?

We counted the votes twice.

Well, this is ludicrous.

Now, now, no need to rain
on some people's parades.

Come on, dear.

You're gonna help me
type up an announcement.

[GASPS] Buddy.

It's all right.

I'm gonna go home.

OK, how do we know there wasn't fraud?

Someone could have voted twice.

[SCOFFS]

You need to count the ballots again.

Of course. Of course.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Hi.

Hi.

I just wanted to be the
first to congratulate you.

What?

You won.

You're the president.

Oh, my goodness! [LAUGHTER]

Would you like to sit?

Thank you. Say hi to your pops from me.

- Thank you.
- Bye.

I know it was you.

You who? Me? Me who?

You. You're my admirer.

Wow!

What a twist!

Even I didn't know it was me.

Come off it. You volunteered to help me.

You could have just told me
you were keen on me, you know?

It all adds up.

Except it wasn't me.

Oh.

Explain me something.

You're always saying
how much you hate boys,

but then you seemed pretty
interested in finding this one.

I guess I always thought

I would have to change the
way I am for a boy to like me.

But if there were a boy who
already liked the way I was...

Maybe it'd be different.

I'm sure he's out there.

Well, thanks for your help.

I guess some mysteries
are better left unsolved.

[SNORTS]

For helping her find her guy.

- But we didn't.
- Sure, you did.

You're looking at 'em.

You two dedicated the song to her?

We used to sing it to
her when she was a baby.

We heard that all her friends had dates.

We didn't want her to feel left out.

Mr. and Mrs. Nakagawa,
maybe you shouldn't tell her.

Let her think somebody is out
there, pining away for her.

A white lie never hurt anyone.

Oh, we wouldn't tell her.

We're pretty scared of her.

I wish we could both be winners.

I'm in charge of student council now.

- I could change the rules!
- Don't be silly.

I've spent my whole
life competing in stuff.

Sometimes you lose.

Besides, I'm relieved.

[SCOFFS] What are you talking about?

I was just running to win.

You were running to change things.

Sometimes I wonder if that's true.

What if I was just running to win too?

What if it's just all about me?

Hey, knock it off.

You don't have a selfish
bone in your body.

- I don't know.
- I'm serious.

You have dealt with so much this year.

A lot of which was my fault.

I'm sorry.

But you kept going

because you wanted to make a difference.

And you won

because people are inspired by you.

I'm inspired by you.

It's true...
