(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.

my parents get the phone bill

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.
