TEXT: JETTY SETH: It's senior prom; it's mythic. RYAN: Yeah, well, it's ties and dresses and photos with parents. Sounds like any other dance to me. SETH: Well, it's not. It's a romantic capstone to your entire adolescence, and if Summer and I don't go together, it's over. RYAN: Well, ask her. SETH: Oh, she's still not talking to me. RYAN: Well, have you told her there's nothing going on between you and Anna? SETH: I tried, but every time we get close, she blows her rape whistle. RYAN: Rape. Well, you know, I'm not going, so, if you, uh... if you want to hang out, rent a movie... SETH: Ryan, I love you, but if I have to spend my senior prom playing video games with you, I'm going to kill myself. Besides, I left Summer a message telling her I'm going to meet her at the diner tomorrow morning. RYAN: You think she'll show? SETH: Kind of pretended I was the Brown admissions guy. It's senior prom; anything goes. Hi, there. WAITRESS: Hi. What's it going to be? SETH: Chicken, please. RYAN: And I'll have the beef. SETH: Why aren't you going to ask someone, man? What about Tina Woo-- she's been looking really hot lately. What about Theresa? RYAN: Uh, yeah, I don't think so. SETH: Why? You said you've been spending a lot of time with her. RYAN: We have. Actually, she's coming over to the house tomorrow. SETH: Okay, great-- now that the baby thing's resolved, the pressure's off. It's perfect. Do it. RYAN: But, I mean, she still has the baby. She can't just, you know... SETH: One night. They have these new crazy things called baby-sitters. I'm just saying
SUMMARY:
Right dress. Wrong date. If you can't go to prom with the person you like, go with someone who makes the person you like jealous. There'll be many memories for the Core 4 after this prom. Not all of them will be happy.
