-Kevin...
I've met someone.
-What?
-Winnie cooper was
my first real love.
She grew up in the
house across the street.
She was the first
girl I'd ever kissed.
And now...
She'd broken up with me.
But it wasn't until the next day
That I understood
what it all meant.
-This is all a mistake!
-Huh?
-What happened...
With winnie and me?
-Oh, that.
-It's just a big
misunderstanding, right?
- Well...
- She's probably just mad at me.
Don't you think?
-Kev...
-Yeah?
-It's over.
-What?
-Well, I'm sorry, but
that's what I think.
I mean, it's pretty clear.
She met this guy.
She likes him better.
-Who asked you?
-Well, you did, remember?
- That's not the point.
- Hey, arnold!
Heard the super cooper
dropped you like a rotten egg.
Sorry.
-Great.
-One little tiff
with my girlfriend,
Suddenly I'm headline news.
-Kev?
-Maybe you should
just... Accept it.
-Yeah, well, I don't, okay?
-Hey, I was 14.
Acceptance was not exactly
A major part of my
emotional repertoire.
What I really needed
was a little support,
A sympathetic ear...
-Kevin?
- A wolf in sheep's clothing.
-Madeline!
-I'm sorry about what
happened with you and winnie.
I guess breaking
up is hard to do.
-Yeah.
Well, we're not
really broken up.
-Oh.
I just thought...
-Yeah. Well, it's
not like that, okay?
We're just working it out.
-Well, if you want to talk,
I'm always available.
-Thanks, but I won't need that.
The whole thing's been
blown out of proportion.
-Hey, arnold. Tough break.
My heart goes out to you, man.
-Seemed pretty clear if
I was gonna survive this,
There was only one thing to do.
[Bell dings]
I had to quell these rumors.
-She's here.
-It was kind of a big moment.
The first step towards
making up always is.
- Pretty well.
-Winnie?
-Kevin. Hi.
-How are you?
-Okay.
How are you?
-Great.
-Good.
-And they said we'd split up.
- Kevin...
- Hey.
Don't give it a second thought.
-No sense dwelling on the past.
It was all behind us now.
-Hey, winnie, our pizza's ready.
Hey.
-Kevin, you remember roger.
-Hey.
-How you doing?
-Okay.
-I wanted to crush
every bone in his hand.
-Uh, it was good
talking to you, kevin.
-Yeah.
-Yep, great talking.
-♪ How do you do? ♪
♪ Uh-huh ♪
[Channels changing]
-Well, there was always home,
The last refuge from
the slings and arrows
Of the 9th-grade rumor mill.
-Kevin, guess who I ran into
at the grocery store today?
Doug porter's mother.
She mentioned
that you and winnie
Are going through
some tough times?
-Great, I'd made
the big leagues...
The supermarket checkout line.
And worse, it was being
broadcast in front of my dad.
-I'd rather not
talk about it, mom.
-I understand.
You two have been
together for so long,
I'm sure it will work out.
- [ Groans]
- mom.
-Why don't you just pick up
the phone and give her a call?
-It was the stupidest
suggestion I'd ever heard.
[Dialing]
-Don't do it.
-What?
-You're gonna call
her, right? Hmm?
-Darn!
I'd been picked up on my
brother's misery antenna.
-I wasn't gonna call her.
-Good, 'cause it's
a loser's move.
-'Course, wayne had been dumped
By every girl in
the tri-county area,
So he did speak with
a certain authority.
-Okay, then what should I do?
-Keep your distance.
-Uh-huh.
- You make her suffer.
- Uh-huh.
-Otherwise, you're
just some road k*ll
On the side of the highway,
Waiting to get run
over a second time.
-Wayne, this is none
of your business.
-Fine. Do what you want.
But if you do call her back,
May as well hang a
billboard up saying,
"Winnie, come back, please."
Or better yet, maybe you
should throw a party for her.
[Laughs]
-Ha! Talk about stupid.
-[Laughs]
-The very thought of a
party... Talk about ridiculous.
What would I do...
Invite her, get her alone,
Work a little magic on her?
-I'm having a party.
-A what?
-It seems like a good time.
What do you think?
-Why are you having a party?
-Well, I have a lot
of friends I can invite.
-Hey, no need to
show all my cards.
-Like winnie?
-Yeah, for example.
-Frankly, kev... It
sounds a little obvious.
-Uh-huh.
Well...
That's why we're gonna
have it at your house.
-What?!
-Paul, if you're a
friend, you'll do this.
-Forget it.
- Yeah, I'd love to come.
- Great, great.
-It was a stroke
of genius, planned...
By a mastermind.
-Well, see you there.
[Indistinct conversations]
-So, what'd she say?
-She's gonna come.
-Really?
-And she thinks the luau
theme is gonna be perfect.
-What?
-Do you have any good
recipes for spinach dip?
-Paul, did my name come up?
-Oh, of course.
She asked if you
were gonna be there.
-Good. Good. Did she seem happy?
-Yeah.
Yeah, she was happy.
-I knew it.
-Kevin?
Hi.
-Hi.
-Uh, I'd better be getting home.
Got a party to plan!
[Thud] ooh, sorry!
-Paul tells me you're
going to be at his party.
-Well, yeah, yeah.
I'm gonna help him
out with some stuff.
-It was so thoughtful
of him to ask me.
-Well, I had a little
something to do with that.
-I just wanted to
make sure it was okay.
-Sure, it's okay. Yeah,
it's gonna be a ball.
-Yeah, everything
was working out.
Just a matter of hours now
Before we'd be
together once again.
-Then we'll see you there.
- "We"?
-Uh-huh.
-Kevin, it's just so
nice you invited us.
- "Us"?
-Uh-huh.
-Either winnie had become
royalty overnight, or...
-Winnie!
-Bye.
- I was going to be
throwing a party
For the girl that I
loved... And her boyfriend.

By the next day,
I had figured out
A very workable
solution to my problems.
Paul!
Kev, forget it. I'm not
canceling the party.
-Why not?!
-Because everybody's coming.
My mom already bought
seven cases of cola,
Eight bags of potato chips,
And four different
colors of streamers.
-Just like the guy...
Always thinking of himself.
-Paul, you got to cancel it.
-Hey, you're the one who
told me to invite them.
-I told you to invite her,
not uh, what's-his-name.
-Roger?
Sorry.
- "Sorry"?
That's all you have
to say is "sorry"?
-How was I supposed to know
that she was gonna bring him?
-Well, i... You're the...
-Kev, forget it. The
party's happening.
-Faced with a betrayal
of this magnitude,
The line had to be drawn.
-Okay, then, I'm not coming.
-No way the guy was gonna
throw the party without me.
[ Chuckles]
-Too bad.
You're gonna miss the
party of the decade.
-[ Chuckles bitterly]
[School bell rings]
Still, at least I'd
stood my ground...
For what that was worth.
-Hi, kevin.
-Hey.
-Did I hear that paul pfeiffer
Is having a party at his
house tomorrow night?
-Well, sort of.
Kind of.
Anyway, I'm not going.
-Well, that's a surprise.
-What do you mean by that?
-It's just I know you're
one of paul's best friends,
And I just expected...
-Well, I decided not to go.
It's gonna be stupid and boring,
And there are gonna
be a lot of people there
That I don't want
to see, anyway.
-Winnie?
-I must have been as transparent
As a piece of cellophane.
-Uh, no.
Uh, yeah.
She was thinking
about coming by.
-I could imagine that
that would be hard.
-What?
-Going to a party alone
that she's going to be at.
-Now, wait a minute.
What was the girl saying here?
Why couldn't I go to
my best friend's party?
And who said I had to go alone?
-Madeline?
-Yes?
-Do you want to go to a party?
-Cheeseballs?
Cheeseballs?
Cheeseballs?
-As the party started getting
into gear, paul was on edge.
- Do you want a soda?
- Sure.
-But I was a veritable pillar.

ahead, I was prepared.

-Look who's here.
- And that's when anything
walked in the door.
With mr. Anything.
-Come on.
-Where?
-I want you to meet someone.
-No sense putting this off.
It was time to
fight fire with fire.
- Hi.
- Hi, kevin.
-Have you ever met madeline?
-'Course, I knew it
was a cruel blow.
-Hi, madeline.
-Hi.
-But I was merciless.
-Madeline, this is roger.
- Hi.
- Nice meeting you.
Hey.
-Hey.
-And it was high time for
them to turn tail and run.
-Hi, guys. Glad
you could make it.
Spinach dip is amazing.
-Hi, paul.
-Oh, let me take your things.
-Rats! Foiled by spinach dip.
It was time to call an audible.
-Let's dance.
-Good idea.

And keep away from each other.

-I guess I was hurting her,
but I just didn't care anymore.
-I'll tell you
another thing, winnie.
This whole thing's stupid.
It's really not that big a deal.
And to tell you the truth,
Our relationship didn't mean
that much to me, all right?
-It was the biggest
lie I'd ever told.

-Hey, kev. Where you going?
[Dog barking, insects chirping]
[Owl hooting]
-That night, I didn't feel
much like going home,
Facing the inevitable questions.
It was only 9:30,
so I thought maybe
I'd hang out in the
garage for a while...
Maybe spend the night there.
[Rattling]
Unfortunately, someone else
Was already hanging
out in the garage.
-Dad?
-Hey.
-What are you doing?
-I'm trying to get this
damn mower repaired.
-Need any help?
-Nah.
How are things going?
-Okay.

over with us, you know.

-Yeah.
Pretty stupid.

About life...
About our times together.
Maybe we weren't the same
two kids we'd once been,
But some things never change.
Some things last.
And even though I didn't know
what was gonna happen to us
Or where we were going...
I just knew I couldn't
let her out of my life.
