The Legend of Juan Jose Mundo (2025) Movie Script

1
I know a guy
who's tough but sweet.
He's so fine, he can't be beat.
He's got everything
that I desire.
Sets the summer sun on fire
I want candy.
I want candy
Go to see him when
the sun goes down.
Ain't no finer boy in town.
You're my guy,
you're what the doctor ordered.
So sweet, you make
my mouth water
I want candy.
I want candy.
Yeah!
Linda, what are you
sitting back there for?
Come on.
I thought we had
an understanding.
I don't want you
sitting in the back.
I have you sitting up
at the front for a reason.
Yeah, so you can
look up her skirt.
- What's that, Kaplan?
- Nothing.
Are y'all looking forward
to the exchange students
coming this weekend?
Now, I know not everybody is
a part of the exchange program,
but you can all be a part of it,
if you help them,
if you talk to them,
if you show them what
a great place White Plains is.
Remember, they're coming
from Spain, not Mars.
They're just kids, like you.
Okay, Julie, can you pass
these out, will you?
Homework sheets.
Please complete
these by tomorrow.
Now...
Spanish isn't just a bunch
of words that you got to learn.
It's a spoken language,
and we need to work
on your pronunciation,
because the way some
of you guys speak Spanish,
you sound like retards.
So today we're working
on pronunciation.
Capisce? All: Capisce.
Okay.
Now, I want you to repeat
after me in English,
but I want you to listen
to my accent, okay?
Drove me Chevy to the levee.
Drove me Chevy to the levee.
That's good.
Drove me Chevy to the levee.
Drove me Chevy to the levee.
That's
good.
Okay, have a great day.
Okay.
Take care now.
Oh, hey, Julie,
um, there's a problem
with your exchange student.
Now, I don't know why,
but she can't come.
Now, another student is taking
her place, but it's a boy.
Now, I called your mother today,
and she seemed to think
that it was a good idea,
but she wanted me
to check with you first.
You mean he's staying with us?
Now, this is a great
opportunity for him and for you.
Now, I-I'd hate for you to miss
out on this exchange program.
You're a great student.
You'll get a lot out of this.
Who is he?
His name is Juan Jose Mundo.
So, when I go to Spain, I have
to stay with him there, too?
We can figure that out when
you go to Spain in a few months.
But these kids,
they're coming this weekend.
Well, it's weird.
So I can tell your mom
that it's okay with you, right?
That at 73, he is too old
to be running for re-election.
Today as he headed for his
campaign stops in Michigan,
reporters in Washington asked...
- Do you need anything?
- No. Thanks, hon.
Okay.
Last night I having dinner at
The Sports Page with my family,
and the waiter was so cute.
He looked just like
Christopher Atkins.
I swear that he was
looking right at me.
- He was not.
- I swear.
- How old was he?
- At least 20.
How was he looking at you?
Like he was hot for me.
And I flirted, too.
When he asked me what I wanted,
I said, do you prefer
the burger or the chicken?
And when he said "the burger,"
I said, okay.
I can't believe you did that.
I mean, he was making eyes
at me the whole time.
I totally think he would have
asked me out
if my parents weren't there,
or my brother.
God, he was such a dick!
He sent back his fries because
he said they were too crispy.
Seriously? That's so obnoxious.
I know. It was so embarrassing.
But we have to go back there.
- Now?
- Yeah.
Come on, it's right down the
hill from me. We can just walk.
Okay, fine.
See you in ten.
Where are you going?
Suzanne's.
I can't believe you
told Mr. Desilva
I was okay about this
exchange student.
If I said no, there would be
no trip to Spain in February.
Did you want that?
Debbie's gonna freak out
when she finds out a Spanish boy
is staying in her bed.
If you want me to
call Mr. Desilva,
- tell him to forget it...
- No, I don't!
It's just... I wish that when
someone asked me for my opinion,
they actually wanted it.
I've never done
anything with a boy.
Well, what about
that guy last summer
at Playland, though... Jeff?
Okay, I made that up.
Jeff was real!
It's just that nothing
happened, okay?
He went in to kiss
me, and I just froze
like, panicked or something.
I basically ran away.
- You made the whole thing up?
- Well, kind of, okay?
I never really kissed a boy,
not in any way that would count.
I can't believe you
never told me that.
Well, it's mortifying 'cause...
You wouldn't understand.
You've done everything.
Only twice.
Okay, if they ask for ID,
say we left them at home.
And don't ask for a screwdriver.
That's a dead giveaway.
Mm-hmm.
Ask what's on tap.
- And don't smile, okay?
- Mm-hmm.
Hey, can I get another?
Where he swore
his love was true.
- Isn't he so fine?
- Yeah.
I could totally see
you guys together.
- Right?
- Mm-hmm.
You girls know what you want?
Uh, what do you got on tap?
On tap, we got Miller High Life.
Do you have pia colada?
Do you have ID?
- Can I just get a Pepsi?
- Me too.
No food?
- I dare you to go talk to him.
- What?
Come on, I dare
you. You have to.
You know you want to.
Sweet soft refrain.
Okay.
Of how he found you.
Lorraine.
Oh, yeah.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Do you remember me?
I-I was here the other night.
I was sitting over there.
I ordered a burger.
Oh, yeah, I remember.
Hold on.
You left these, right?
I saved them for you.
Oh, yeah. Thanks.
Of how he found you.
Lorraine.
I...
- What happened?
- He thought I left these here.
- Did you?
- No.
I guess he thought
I was somebody else.
No way, Vuarnets.
Those are sick!
Blessing in disguise.
They didn't tell you
anything about him?
- He's not some schmuck.
- He's not Son of Sam.
They're from a very
nice Catholic school.
Some brand-new
music coming up from The Police.
No.
No, no. I am tired of you
messing with my presets!
But, Dad, The Police!
I don't want to hear that crap.
- I'm gonna go see Andy.
- Okay.
- Hey, Julie.
- Hey, Jason.
They should have been here
over an hour ago.
Well, maybe their
plane was late.
Hola, seora.
Uh, Julie.
Thank you for being so
accommodating with the changes.
It's our pleasure.
Juan, vienes aqu.
Hello. My name is
Juan Jose Mundo.
It is very nice to meet you.
If you have any
questions or anything,
Julie can help you.
- Mom.
- You have to help him.
I don't know how
good his English is.
Oh, I-I think it is quite good,
but it could also be better.
Oh.
Well, is there anything special
you want to do in America?
I want to do everything.
I love America
cowboys and hamburgers
and Michael Jackson.
And I want to see a bar fight
and drink root beer.
It's so weird. There's this
boy living in Debbie's room.
Well, is he cute?
Yeah. He dresses kind of gay.
- Like Boy George?
- No, more like George Michael.
He looks like George Michael?
Oh, shit, I have to go.
I wanted to make
something American.
I made meatloaf.
"Meat loaf"?
What... what is... what is this?
It's just hamburger meat
and breadcrumbs and stuff.
Yes.
Americans cook everything
with hamburgers, no?
Oh, no, no, I'm very
excited to try it.
Ah, wait. I almost forgot.
Ah.
My mother wanted me
to give you this.
This is a local wine
from near where our family goes
in the summer, near Valencia.
- Do you have an opener?
- Oh, yeah.
- I like it.
- I'm happy.
- To America.
- Oh.
- To America.
- To America.
- America.
- America.
Ahh.
Last time I saw you drink
was at Sammy's bar mitzvah.
You're Jewish?
Yes.
Oh.
My father knows a Jew.
Hmm.
What does your father do?
He's a, uh, banker.
And he's the only person I know
who likes, uh, Ronald Reagan.
- We're Democrats.
- Ah.
Um, Walter Mondale!
Oh!
Thank you, Barbara.
I have not had pasta
in three colors before.
- Does your mother cook?
- Yes.
Yes. No, she... she
cooks like this.
Simple food but with more, um
flavor, I think.
Ah.
Mm.
Sorry.
- Hello?
- Hey, Jules.
Uh, can... can you please bring
your Spanish kid over here?
Mine's just, um, standing here.
- And it's weird.
- Okay.
I'm going to a friend's house.
You want to come?
I've known Andy
since I was five years old.
We used to walk to
school together.
What's up with all
these Spanish kids
speaking better
English than we do?
This is Juan.
- Yeah, hey.
- Hey.
Baby,
this could be the first time.
This could be the first time.
Naughty, naughty,
cute and horny.
This is the American basement
of my dreams!
Oh, finally, finally. Thank you.
A man with some good taste.
Come on, let me show you around.
- AC/DC!
- The best band ever.
- Do you play guitar?
- Yeah.
Okay, this is a Royal
Artist from 1971.
Between you and I, it's
a knockoff, but it sounds def.
I mean, I worked a whole month
at Baskin-Robbins
to afford that bad boy,
'cause we're trying to get
this band together,
but none of us can really sing.
- I can sing.
- No way.
Yes, I sing in choir.
Oh!
It's Juan's turn.
- And now I pick who drinks?
- Right, yeah.
I pick you.
Shout!
I never took the smile away
from anybody's face...
Oh.
Aw.
Like a lover's voice
fires the mountainside.
Come on.
- You are hosting Juan?
- Yeah.
Ay, Dios mo.
Hey, guys,
can you please use the ashtrays?
I try to keep the carpet clean.
Okay, yeah.
Okay, how come you got
such a cool exchange student
- and mine is so weird?
- Oh, come on.
Just be ni... He's shy, okay?
- Just be nice.
- Okay.
Hey, Eduardo.
Yep, you. Come on.
Come over here.
- What?
- What?
- Okay.
- He's learning.
Have you ever shotgunned
a beer before?
No. What is that?
Stay right here. I'll show you.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Can you just hold this for me?
- Thank you.
Are you sure this
is a good idea?
I'm gonna pop a hole in this.
What you're gonna do is,
you're just gonna
put your mouth over this hole.
Then you're just gonna
flip open the top.
Great.
Hey, hey, Eduardo!
Hey, what are you doing? No, no!
Not on the carpet. You're
supposed to drink it, man!
You got the passion
of an empty mansion.
Don't feel no fire
when the blood runs cold.
There ain't no hurting
like two hearts uncertain.
You can't feel hot
when the blood runs cold.
Well, love's a gamble
and turns to shambles.
Can't mend the pieces...
Can't make decisions
with mixed suspicions.
My coquette cutie
with a chameleon heart.
You tried to change me,
uh, disarrange me...
What'd you tell him?
Told him where
the back room was.
Why'd you do that?
I don't want to stay
here waiting for him.
- It's the make-out room.
- Oh, my God. Since when?
Uh, since forever,
Julie. Why are you...
What's the tone for?
Well, now I have to sit here
and wait for him.
- You made bacon?
- Well, yeah.
- None for me?
- I didn't think you'd want any.
Come on, let's go.
Thank you for this
very heavy breakfast, Barbara.
- Is something wrong?
- No.
Hey, Julie.
Allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America
and to the Republic
for which it stands,
one nation under
God, indivisible,
with liberty and
justice for all.
Okay, sintate, sintate.
Now, you may have noticed
that we have some
guests in class today.
These are the exchange students
from Spain.
I want you all to welcome them
and make them feel at home.
Don't mind them.
They're just not used to seeing
sophisticated boys from Europe.
Yes, Charlie.
I was just wondering
if everyone in Spain
dresses like a homo.
Okay, that's not
funny.
Ah... uh, Julie, can you please
make sure that the Spanish kids
get to where they're
supposed to be?
Gracias.
- Want to meet me for lunch? -
Do you know where my locker is?
We go home for lunch?
No, no, there's just
a pizza place in town.
Oh. And what about siesta?
Oh, I don't know about that.
Oh. Okay.
- Thank you.
- Okay.
Hi, Julie.
Oh, hi, Martin.
Remember you said
you liked that song,
you know, that we heard
that time in orchestra?
- Well, I made you a tape with
it. - Oh.
And some other songs
I thought you would like.
Wow, a mixtape.
Yeah.
- It didn't take that long.
- No? Okay.
I wrote all the tracks down
on the card inside.
Great.
I'll listen to them.
Thanks, Martin.
Okay.
See you later.
See ya.
Watch me now.
Feel the groove.
Into something.
Gonna make you move
Here we come.
- Where is he?
- He's coming.
- Everyone says that he's fine.
- "Everyone"?
Amy hooked up
with Perry last night.
I know. They're
so cute together.
I know. I love Perry.
I just think it'd be hard
to date a Black guy.
Hey, Julie, are you going to IP?
Yeah.
- Hook me up with a ride?
- Yeah. Got ya.
Hi, Julie.
Hi, Juan.
Um, this is Suzanne.
- Hello.
- What up?
Did you see those
Black kids dancing?
It was crazy, no?
Oh, yeah, those
guys are bitchin'.
- "Bitchin'"? "Bitchin'"?
- What... what's that?
Bitchin'. You know,
like... like radical.
"Bitchin'" and "rad"
don't mean the same thing.
Like, uh... like, The
Clash are... are rad,
and, uh, Van Halen is bitchin'.
- No, Van Halen is so cheesy.
- You're deluded.
Eddie Van Halen
is the best guitarist ever.
Says the guy who
worships Loverboy.
- Oh, yeah.
- Loverboy?
What, they don't have Loverboy
in Spain?
Are... are you serious?
Wait, that's crazy.
It's a sign!
Crank it!
I was born to run,
I was born to dream.
The craziest boy
you've ever seen.
Gotta do it my way...
- What are those?
- Uh, that's ham and pineapple.
- That's pepperoni.
- Ah, pia.
- I want that.
- Ham and pineapple? Okay.
- Do you want a Pepsi?
- Hey, kid!
Get away from that thing!
I put my quarters in.
Oh. You got to pull it hard.
Really put some elbow grease in.
Thanks.
Attaboy.
- Hey, Juan, come sit with us.
- We got to talk about the band.
- Okay. Uh, Excuse me.
- I have to hang with my homies.
And for you, sweetheart?
Uh, uh, ham and
pineapple, please.
Oh, my God, he's so cute.
He's like your puppy
dog or something.
I know. He keeps
following me around.
Well, what else is
he supposed to do?
Just... I can't take
my makeup off at home
or wear my comfy clothes
around the house.
And I couldn't eat
dessert last night,
or he'd think I'm a total pig.
Maybe you're not ready
for a relationship.
Hey, girls.
Hi, Pam.
How's it hanging?
I love your sweater.
Thanks. I bought it.
Julie, that Spanish boy
is staying with you, right?
Yeah.
Do you think he could help me
with my Spanish?
I could really use a tutor.
I don't think he's
allowed to do that.
- Why not?
- I don't know.
I mean, it's stupid,
but he can't help me
- with mine either, so...
- Like you need it.
All right.
Later.
God.
That sweater is heinous.
- Hey.
- Hey.
So what's happening
with you and Perry?
Don't even joke.
It's freaking me out.
Why? He's the bomb.
Tell me about it.
I really like him, but
if my dad finds out,
he'll have a total shit fit.
- Because he's Black?
- Yeah.
- Oh, God, that's crazy.
- Does he even know Perry?
- He's valedictorian.
- Exactly.
Like my dad could
give two shits.
He's Black.
- Oh.
- That's stupid.
Juan, your pizza's here.
Ah, yes.
Okay.
Hey, excuse me. Thank you.
Ha.
Um.
I don't even... I don't know
why guys like her.
I really don't.
Do you remember that she went
all the way with John Wallman
in fifth grade?
That's not true.
It's a fact.
Can you drive me somewhere
after school?
- Where?
- I-I have an address.
Okay.
Pam?
Yes, I'm, uh, tutoring
her for Spanish.
That's right,
Crazy Eddie's going
computer crazy,
with the absolute
lowest prices anywhere
- on anything and everything...
- What is this?
It's just a stupid commercial.
Don't they have
commercials in Spain?
Yes, but we have
nothing similar to this.
America!
Things are fun here, no?
What is this?
Uh, someone at school
made a tape for me.
- Your boyfriend?
- Definitely not.
Longer than there've
been fishes in the ocean
Are you sure he's
not your boyfriend?
Longer
than there've been...
Do I look good?
Yeah, I mean, you're just
helping her with Spanish, right?
Okay. I see you later.
Stronger than
any mountain cathedral.
Hi. I love your sweatshirt.
Truer than any...
Come on.
She answers the
door in full makeup
with this casually
flirty sweatshirt
and her shoulder showing.
- Oh, my God. "Flashdance"?
- Yeah, "Flashdance."
- She is such a JAP.
- Yeah.
Excuse me. Do you
carry CB jackets?
Oh, yeah, over by equipment.
And do you know what else sucks?
Is, it's not like she's gonna
get any better at Spanish,
no matter how much
he tutors her.
Julie, don't be nve.
He's not gonna
teach her anything.
They're just gonna fool around.
For real?
- Well, why is it so easy for
her? - Because she's a slut.
- Well, I want to be a slut.
- You are not a slut.
It's like being rich.
You're either born
with it or you're not.
Hey, Suzanne, five letters,
"All My Children" star.
Lucci.
What about Martin Lowry?
I mean, he totally
has a crush on you.
He made me a mixtape.
That means he's
in love with you.
He looks like he was
a test-tube baby.
No, he's not that bad.
He likes you.
I don't think Martin is my type.
You haven't been with any guys.
How do you know
what your type is?
I think Juan Jo is my type.
No offense, but I think Martin
is much more your type.
Thanks a lot.
Look, you saw what Pam did.
She saw what she wanted,
and she went for it.
Juan Jo's only here
for a couple weeks.
The regular rules don't apply.
Are we still getting
together after work?
- Yeah. Yeah, where?
- Your house?
Yeah. Yeah, right. No way.
- What about yours?
- No can do.
My little sister is
there all the time.
Amy, is... is this
guy bothering you?
No.
It's okay. Thanks.
Uh
I'll meet you out
front after work, okay?
Your reason for
living's your reason for
leaving.
Don't ask me what it means
Who's got the look?
I don't know
the answer to that question.
If I knew, I would tell you
- What's the look?
- Look for your...
They're seniors.
Who is the girl in
the, uh, jean outfit?
That's Gina Sackman.
She's, like, the
hottest girl in school.
I'll go see if they
want to hang out with us.
Wait! Wait!
Hi. I'm Gina.
Here, give me your hand.
Okay.
Nice to meet you.
Gracias.
Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.
Can't stop, can't stop.
Hey.
Okay, so they don't want
to hang out right now.
- Told you.
- But
she's having a party tonight,
and we are invited.
- No way.
- Why not?
Come on, Gina,
look, he's staying with me.
I invited him, but I did not
invite all these juniors.
All right, fine, you
guys can come in,
but this is a senior party.
You've got to be mature.
This is already so much better
than the junior parties.
Hey, Suzanne.
What are you doing here?
Oh, you know, just
coming to the party.
Bobby's little
sister, all grown up.
- He's, uh, here, by the way.
- No way.
He's always harshing my mellow.
You know, you should come down
to the jungle room later, okay?
- Should be clutch.
- Okay.
- What's the jungle room?
- Shit, there's Bobby.
- What are you doing here?
- I'm just getting a drink.
No. No, no. No,
you cannot be here.
- You have to go.
- It's a free country!
I was invited.
Just...
Don't
embarrass me, okay?
You are so conceited.
Don't embarrass me.
Hey, junior.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Want a beer?
- Sure.
- Yeah.
Suck my dick, and
you can have a beer.
W-what?
Did I stutter?
You want me to s-suck your dick?
- What are you, a faggot?
- No.
No, uh, uh, we just want a beer.
Mm, we don't serve faggots here.
Okay, jeez. Thanks.
Julie, Julie, come, come, come.
Ah, this is my host.
Debbie Gornick's little sister?
- Hey, Rachel.
- I miss Debbie.
- I'm staying in Debbie's room.
- No way.
Want to go to the jungle room?
- Hey, you want to take a shot?
- Yes!
Cheers.
I might like you
better if we slept together.
Oh, my God!
I might like you
better if we slept together.
But there's something
in your eyes that says maybe.
That's never.
Never say never.
Winter's cityside.
Crystal bits of snowflakes
all around my head.
And in the wind
I had no illusions.
That I'd ever find a glimpse
of summer's heatwaves.
In your eyes.
You did what you did to me.
Now it's history I see.
Here's my comeback
on the road again.
Things will happen
while they can
I will wait here for my man
tonight, it's easy...
- Hey, where'd you get the beer?
- Oh, I just picked it up.
- Is it yours?
- Oh, no.
- I just wanted one, too.
- I'll get you one.
- Hold on.
- Okay.
Big in
Japan, all right.
Pay, then I'll
sleep by your side.
Things are easy
when you're big in Japan.
Oh, when you're big in Japan.
Here.
- It's warm.
- Yeah.
It's grody.
- I'm Alex.
- Oh.
Gina's brother.
I don't recognize
you from school.
I don't go to White Plains High.
Oh, where do you go... Stepinac?
You're really pretty.
Ah.
- You look like Ally Sheedy.
- I love her.
- Did you see "WarGames"?
- Yeah, I loved it.
Me too.
I got a VHS player
for my birthday.
I have tons of movies.
Do you want to see?
Okay.
I got a lot of these
in, uh, Chinatown in the city.
That's why some of the covers
are kind of weird.
- That's cool.
- It is?
You have "Endless Love"?
That's my sister's.
You're not like the
other girls here.
Yeah?
Yeah.
I feel, like,
comfortable around you.
You're really pretty.
You don't think
I look too young?
I don't think so at all.
You just look like you got a lot
more going on upstairs, I guess.
Step off, okay? I'm not a child.
Yeah, can you take
her home, all right?
- Come on, stop!
- It's past her bedtime.
You are only
embarrassing yourself!
Come on, let's go.
I can't believe that he had
a total hairy conniption.
What about Juan Jo?
Just forget it. We have to go.
- What happened?
- Nothing, okay? Come on.
Sorry.
I-I woke you up?
No.
I was up.
What happened to your shirt?
I don't know.
Can I come in?
Uh, yeah.
- Did you have fun?
- Yes.
Yes, it was fun.
American girls are
crazy, you know?
Uh, like, how?
- I saw you talking to a boy.
- Oh, no, no.
- No?
- No.
No, I thought I saw
you talking to a boy.
A nice girl like you should have
all the boys talking to you.
Well, they don't.
What is the word in English?
Cosquillas?
I don't know. What is it?
I'm asking you.
Oh, what does it mean?
You know, when
you touch someone,
and they laugh
like this.
Tickling.
Tickling.
Stop.
My little Julie.
He thinks of me like a sister.
I want him to think
of me like a girl.
Well, does he know
that you're interested?
Definitely.
I feel like there's so much
going on between us.
Like sexual chemistry?
Every time I think something's
gonna happen, it doesn't.
And there's not much time left,
'cause he's leaving in ten days.
Hmm.
19th caller wins
tickets to Genesis.
Maybe he just doesn't want
to ruin your relationship.
You're wack!
Guys want one thing,
that's it... to get laid.
No, that's not true.
Not all guys are like that
just because you're a pervert.
You're like
a walking after-school special.
I give you too much credit.
Guys want sex.
Any romance they put on
is so the girl will put out.
Says Mr. Expert, who hasn't
even gotten to third base.
Why don't you ask Lisa Kaplan?
Oh, you got to third
with Lisa Kaplan?
Yeah. And that's just the
first girl that came to mind.
Of the thousands of girls
that you finger-fucked?
- Hold on, hold on!
- It's ringing, it's ringing.
Sorry, you're the 16th caller.
16th caller.
It is your fault I
didn't get those tickets.
Burn!
Look, you have to get Juan Jo
away from the girls at school,
or you'll never get a shot.
- Mom?
- Yeah?
I was thinking of, uh, taking
Juan to the city tomorrow.
That's a great idea!
I could drive you in.
We could go to the Met.
Actually, Mom, I just
want to take Juan.
We can take the train.
Sorry, the door was open.
Sorry. Uh, do you
need to come in?
No.
It's okay.
Okay.
Hey! City!
What's up, man?
- Hey, Julie.
- I hope it is okay.
I invited Andy.
Hi.
I live by faith
in the Son of God, who loves me.
I have been crucified
with Christ.
It is no longer I who live,
but Christ who lives in me.
And the life I now
live in the flesh,
I live by faith...
Who loves me and
gave Himself for me.
Hey. Hey, hey.
Pretty girl.
Want to go to a club tonight?
- You're 19, right?
- Yeah.
Come to the club, The Two.
Bring some of your girlfriends.
You'll get right in.
Front-of-the-line status
with foxy girls like you.
Tell them Marcus sent you, okay?
I can't believe she did that.
- Did what?
- Nothing.
Look, we should go
to this tonight.
- I can't go to it tonight.
- I have to go to work.
- Come on, don't be a wuss.
- No can do, Julie.
- Fine. Juan Jo?
- Definitely.
Yeah, right. Your mom
is never gonna go for that.
You have to! I told my mom
we were staying with you!
I have to work till 7:00.
Maybe I can get Danny
to cover for me.
Where's the club?
Uh, 22012th Avenue.
Meet us on the corner
of 27th and 12th.
Okay, I'll meet
you there at 8:00.
- Oh, wait. - Wait, I need
something to wear.
- What should I do?
- Go down to St. Mark's.
They've got the baddest stuff.
Madonna shops there.
I just don't wanna go.
Out in the streets no more
I just don't wanna go.
Out in the streets no more.
Because these
people, they give me.
They give me the creeps anymore.
Because these
people, they give me.
They give me the creeps anymore
I don't wanna
Too many creeps,
too many creeps.
Too many creeps,
too many creeps.
Too many creeps,
too many creeps.
Maybe we should
go in without her.
She probably just
missed the train.
- She said she'd be here.
- She can meet us inside.
Okay, I guess.
Hey! You guys!
The train was so late.
- Why didn't you go in?
- We were waiting for you.
You look bad.
Wait.
Mierda.
He said we could go
to the front of the line.
Come on.
Hi, honey.
The line is over there.
- Oh, Marcus sent us.
- He said to tell you that.
Turn around.
Now you.
- How old are you?
- 19.
Where does Marcus
find you girls?
All right, go in.
Not him. He's got
to wait on line.
- Oh, come on, he's with us.
- Yeah, come on.
Marcus said especially
he should go in.
Yeah, right. Why's that?
Because look at him.
All right.
- What did you say to him?
- I told him he was gay bait.
Julie, you got us
in. You're my hero.
Feel the fire, feel
my love inside you.
It's so right.
There's the sound and
the smell of love in my mind.
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
- I saw Juan Jo naked.
- What?
He was getting
out of the shower,
and I walked in by accident.
And?
There was a lot
of hair around it.
Hey, go ask that guy
to get us drinks.
Come on, I dare you.
- No way.
- Come on, it's a dare.
You have to.
I hate you!
Hi.
Hi.
Buy us a drink?
All right, what do you want?
Uh, two Long Island Iced Teas?
Hey, two Long Island Iced Teas
for the girls here.
Put it on my tab, okay?
- You girls look like fun.
- We are fun.
- Yeah, I bet you are.
- Yeah.
A couple
pretty girls like you, huh?
What do you do?
What do I do? I'm an impresario.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
What is that?
Well, I take people,
sometimes nice girls like you,
and I make them famous.
You ever heard of a little
singer named Barbara Roy?
I met her at a club
just like this.
I took her to meet Morris Levy.
The rest is history.
Youse want to do some coke?
It's okay.
Yeah. You want to?
Hey!
- Come on, let's dance.
- Oh.
Sorry. Bye.
Love's a cliff.
And I'm pushing you over it.
You may not know it yet.
Oh, but you're gonna
go for a tumble.
You'll never forget.
You will not forget.
'Cause I'm too turned
on, can't turn back
I'm all heated up,
and I can't cool down.
Too turned on, I
can't turn back now
No, no
I'm too turned on,
can't turn back
I'm all heated up,
and I can't cool down
I'm too turned on, I
can't turn back now
No, no, no
I'm gonna take this matter.
Into my hands.
Is everything okay?
I need a drink.
- I don't have money.
- I don't either.
Wait.
Hi, buy me a drink?
Okay. What do you want?
A Long Island Iced Tea.
- You don't want that.
- Have what we're having.
- What is it?
- You'll like it.
Thanks.
Hey, wait a minute.
Where you going?
- Just... my friends are
waiting. - Come on.
I bought you a drink.
What are you gonna do for me?
Like what?
Stay and drink it.
We're having a good
time, aren't we?
Come on, finish your drink.
Cheers.
- Oh.
- Jesus!
I'm sorry.
Guys, come on,
we're gonna miss the last train.
Hey! Are you kidding me?
Hi, sweetie. Where's Juan?
I don't know.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
Uh, hi, Julie.
Hi.
I made you a mixtape.
Just thought I'd give it to you.
- Thank you.
- I hope you like it.
I can't believe you did that.
Oh, I'm very sorry.
Um, I was, uh,
rehearsing with Andy.
I'm so sorry to be late.
You're rehearsing something?
Andy entered our band
into the talent show.
- Oh.
- I sing, and Andy plays guitar.
- Mm.
- He's very good.
Um, but we have a
week to practice.
Chase is on bass,
and Sam is on drums.
- Oh.
- Do you know him?
Sam Levy? Yeah, he used
to live down the street.
He was always burying things
in his backyard.
They moved to
Gedney, up the hill.
- Oh.
- Nice house.
I love to see the decorations
in each house here.
I-I've never seen wallpaper
with, uh, little bears on it.
You were at Lisa
Nardelli's house?
Um, we were studying.
But the houses are... I don't
know how you say it in English
not tasting good.
De mal gusto.
Well, people like to
put their personalities
into their houses, don't they?
May I be excused?
Julie, it's Suzanne.
I don't want to talk to her.
She says she won't stop
calling till you talk to her.
Fine.
Hello.
I'm sorry.
I can't believe you.
I know, I know.
I'm... I'm sorry.
How did that even happen?
After you fell asleep, he
just... he knocked on the door.
And?
And I followed him downstairs.
- You slept with him.
- No, no, we just made out.
You were naked
when I came down this morning.
No, I swear, we just... we took
our shirts off, but that was it.
It was... it was,
like, second base!
And then we fell asleep.
I want to believe you.
It's true. It was nothing.
It still sucks
you would do that.
Yeah, I know.
What happened when you woke up?
I had to go to work, so I just
left him there sleeping.
Come on, Jules.
I can't stand you
being mad at me.
It really meant nothing.
It was just spur of the moment.
I have to go.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, my God.
Hey, what happened?
The other night Perry
took me on a date.
He was so sweet.
He took me to Le Chaque.
And they had waiters
and everything.
It must have been, like,
at least 30 bucks.
And Perry paid.
- Then he told me he loved me.
- Oh, that's so romantic.
I know,
but some of my parents' friends
were at the restaurant,
and they saw us.
And then they called my dad,
and he just totally freaked.
Oh, no.
And now he says
I can't see him anymore.
No, they can't do that.
They can't just
tell you that you can't see him.
I mean, they can't stop you.
- They can't?
- No.
I feel like they can.
No, we have to figure
something out, okay?
You guys are in love,
and that is way more important
than racism.
Guys, I have been looking
all over for you.
Bobby just told me that Juan Jo
got a BJ from Lisa Nardelli,
and now Dave Connelly
found out and is pissed.
- No way.
- Yeah.
Wait.
- Dave and Lisa are going out?
- Yeah.
So is it true?
How would I know?
Well, Bobby says
that Juan Jo is uncircumcised.
How would he know
that if it isn't true?
You probably know
better than me.
I don't know. It was dark.
I thought you said
it was second base.
Well, you saw him
in the bathroom that one time.
Yeah, by accident.
Well, is he circumcised or not?
- I don't know!
- What difference does it make?
Because if he is circumcised,
that means the story isn't true.
And, personally, I don't think
he should get his ass kicked
if he's been falsely accused.
Okay, well
I don't know if he's
circumcised or not
'cause I don't know
the difference.
Shit.
You know, I bet Lisa
told Allison Vickers,
and Allison Vickers
told everyone.
That bitch.
She's always lusted after Dave.
- I didn't know that.
- How come you know that?
How can you be so smart
and not know anything?
Come on!
Hey!
Spanish guy.
Heard you had some
fun yesterday.
- What? Chill out.
- You chill out.
I'm gonna kick your ass.
You understand that?
Whoa!
Wait, wait.
- Dave, he didn't do it, okay?
- What are you talking about?
I don't know where you got
your information from,
- but it's wrong.
- What happened?
You got a BJ from Lisa Nardelli.
- My girlfriend!
- Tell him you didn't do it.
- I-I didn't do it.
- I know it for a fact.
- How would you know?
- Because he's uncircumcised.
How would I know that
if it wasn't true?
- I don't know, Allison.
- How would you know?
- Because he just is.
- He is not, okay?
I saw. He's circumcised,
so he didn't do it.
You saw him naked?
Yeah!
How?
Fuck this.
Whoa!
Get up, pussy!
Why do you have to be
such a dick, Dave?
- He's not even from here.
- Yeah, he's from Spain!
He doesn't know our customs!
Why doesn't he go back, then?
What's wrong with you, Connelly?
Why didn't you do that last week
when we were playing
those pussies in Scarsdale?
You all right, kid?
Now, you two,
shake hands and make up.
- What?
- Shake hands and make up.
All right, enough
of this nonsense.
I am not circumcised.
I figured.
Thank you for
trying to defend me.
Well, I wish it had helped.
Yeah, so do I.
Julie
you do much for me.
I am
agradecido.
- Grateful.
- Yes.
I love America.
People here say how they feel.
They have emotion.
They... they feel something,
and when they want something,
they take it.
Hmm.
I-I don't want to go home.
I-I feel like at home,
no one understands me.
But in America, they understand.
S-someone made you
another mixtape?
Uh, yeah.
No, it's okay. We don't
have to listen to it.
It's okay.
You are the woman
that I've always dreamed of
I knew it from the start
I saw your face, and
that's the last...
How is it that you
don't have a boyfriend?
All of these boys
are in love with you.
You probably know
better than me.
Thanks for covering
for me, Barbara.
- I really don't know what to
do. - Mm.
I understand,
but you have to be home by 9:00.
If your dad calls after that,
I won't know what to say.
I will be. I promise.
Oh, that's him. He's here.
- Okay, how do I look?
- You look so pretty.
- You do.
- Thanks.
Oh.
- Okay.
- Mm-hmm.
That's romantic.
I wish you
had a boyfriend.
- You're such a good person.
- Mom!
I wouldn't care if he was Black.
Hey!
- Yay!
- Good shot.
Drink.
- Hey, Juan Jo. - Two nights
till the talent show.
- Radical.
- What are you gonna sing?
Ooh, I can't tell you.
It's top secret, super,
super top secret.
But what I will say is
that it's gonna be wicked.
And there's gonna be
a party here afterwards.
Aha!
Hey, Eduardo.
Hey, come on, come join us.
No, please, come on,
everyone's playing.
You have to.
- Come on, Eduardo.
- Please?
- Come on.
- Eduardo.
Eduardo!
Eduardo! Eduardo!
- Eduardo!
- Whoo!
- Yes.
- Yeah.
Yeah, now you drink, Eduardo.
Ooh, yeah. Okay, okay.
Whoo!
Eduardo.
- Do it all!
- Yeah!
Oh, mm, Eduardo.
You okay?
Red skies at night,
red skies at night.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Hey.
- You okay?
- Yes, I'm just a little...
- It was fun.
- Okay.
Thank you, Julie.
Red skies at night,
oh, oh, oh, oh.
- How does he do it?
- I don't know.
In Spain, Juan Jose
is not popular with girls,
or anybody.
Really?
For three weeks,
I'm sure he is fun,
but we've all known
Juan our whole lives.
Even now, I can see people
getting tired by him.
You will love Spain, Julie.
Come to see me there.
I live in the city, in Madrid.
I thought you were
all from Madrid.
They all live in the suburbs.
I take the train to school
because it is a good school.
All my friends are in the city.
You will see.
- Mm.
- You okay?
Excuse me.
Hey, hey, hey! Dude,
dude! My carpet!
That's my...
You're ralphing on my carpet.
Fucking guy couldn't even
make it to the bathroom.
Ugh.
Is Juan Jo still in there?
Yeah, he may be
in the mamada room, Julie.
- What's a mamada room?
- A BJ.
Since when did it graduate
from make-out room
to mamada room?
I don't know. Last week or so.
Oh, my God.
No, I think that you are.
Um, can you cover me for a sec?
Yeah.
Thanks for coming.
I almost didn't.
Do you remember the guy
at The Sports Page,
the cute waiter?
Yeah.
Well, I-I went back
there last night.
- By yourself?
- I tried calling your house.
I was at Andy's.
A-anyway, um, I stayed
until he closed,
and then I went
back to his place.
You went all the way with him?
Yeah, but I didn't
really want to.
So why'd you do it if
you didn't want to?
Because he's older,
and older guys expect more.
He thought I was older.
It's not a big deal,
okay? It was stupid.
But the stupidest thing is that
I left my Fiorucci sweatshirt.
- I have to get it back.
- No, forget it.
Are you kidding? It's Fiorucci.
I spent forever trying
to save for that.
Will you please come
with me to get it?
- Hey.
- Hey.
Uh, I-I just... I
left my sweatshirt.
- Is this your little sister?
- No, t-this is my friend Julie.
Come in.
Homeowners, stop throwing
money out old windows.
Put that money
back in your home,
with insulated-window
installation.
Why pay more?
Heat dollars escape
even around new windows,
because your...
You're always losing stuff, huh?
- Like your sunglasses.
- Oh.
Yeah.
Last night was fun.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
You want to do something?
- Oh, what, now?
- Yeah.
We could just do a BJ.
- Uh, m-my friend is waiting.
- She'll be okay.
They're just watching TV.
Hey, come on.
Don't leave me hanging.
- He was in between defenders.
- Threw that one away.
Ian Johnson, tight end.
I think that I should
give him my number.
I mean, he doesn't even have
my number.
You're not giving him
your number, okay?
Okay, but what if
he wants to call me?
Just forget it. He's a jerk.
Okay, you just don't know
because you've never
been with a guy.
Well, I'd rather not be
with a guy than be desperate.
Well, at least I'm
not a total prude.
That's obvious.
You think Juan Jo is so great?
He's screwed around
with every girl in school.
You think I don't know that?
Then why are you so obsessed
with him?
I don't know!
Why are you being such a bitch
all of a sudden?
I didn't even want to come here.
He's leaving in
a couple of days,
and nothing's gonna happen,
and it's all my fault.
If I can't get with Juan Jo,
I'll never get with anyone.
I'll just be one of those crazy
ladies with cats and Tupperware.
It's okay.
You're still gonna stay
with him in Spain, right?
Yeah.
Yeah...
You'll have another
chance there.
I guess.
- You wanted to see me?
- Julie. Uh, yeah.
Um, seora Acevedo
and I have been talking,
and I remembered
that you weren't too thrilled
being with Juan.
Oh, that was before.
We know each other
now, so it's fine.
Well, apparently, his family
is more conservative than yours,
and they spoke to
seora Acevedo.
She talked to me.
We had to make some changes.
So you're gonna be staying
with Eduardo's family,
and Andy is staying
with Juan's family.
Wait, but doesn't Juan have
a say in this?
I don't know,
but seora Acevedo has told me
that Eduardo's family will be
a much better experience
for you.
Sea-glassed eyes.
And a heart of gold
Washed away.
Were the things I wish I told.
To you
Oh, my God, he is
totally singing that to you.
- Shut up.
- He totally is.
And
through the sea foam.
The tide pulls me
from the shore.
In my heart, there'll be none.
Until you come around.
Once more
Loser.
Thank you, Martin.
And now Perry Newton
and Amy Vesuvio.
They will be doing a scene
from "Romeo and Juliet."
Did you know that
he was doing this?
N-no, he just said
it was Shakespeare.
Perry!
If I profane
with my unworthiest hand
this holy shrine...
Look, Amy's parents, over there.
Two blushing
pilgrims, ready stand
to smooth that rough touch
with a tender kiss.
Good pilgrim,
you do wrong your hand too much,
which mannerly
devotion shows in this,
for saints have hands
that pilgrims' hands do touch,
and palm to palm is
holy palmers' kiss.
- They're really good.
- Yeah.
While my prayer's effect I take.
Shakespeare, my ass.
Let's go. Let's go.
Sin from thy lips?
O trespass sweetly urged.
Give me my sin again.
You kiss by the book.
Holy shit.
Yeah.
And now, all the way from Madrid
and White Plains High School,
The Mundos!
When you close
your eyes and you go to sleep.
And it's down to the
sound of a heartbeat.
I can hear the things
that you're dreaming about.
And you open up your heart,
and the truth comes out.
You tell me that you want me.
You tell me that you need me.
You tell me that you love me.
And I know that I'm right
'cause I hear it in the night
I hear the secrets
that you keep.
When you're talking
in your sleep
I hear the secrets
that you keep.
Come on, let's go!
When you're talking
in your sleep.
When I hold you in
my arms at night
Don't you know you're sleeping
in the spotlight.
And all your dreams
that you keep inside
You're telling me the secrets
that you just can't hide.
You tell me that you want me.
You tell me that you need me.
You tell me that you love me.
And I know that I'm right
'cause I hear it in the night
I hear the secrets
that you keep.
When you're talking
in your sleep.
Escucho los secretos
que guardas.
When you're talking
in your sleep
I hear the secrets
that you keep.
When you're talking
in your sleep
Cheers!
To Juan Jo's last
night in America!
If I were to say
to you, can you keep a secret?
Would you know just what to do
or where to keep it?
Then I say I love you,
foul the situation.
Hey, girl, I thought we were
the right combination.
Who broke my heart?
You did, you did.
Bow to the target,
blame Cupid, Cupid.
You think you're
smart, stupid, stupid.
Shoot that poison
arrow to my heart.
Shoot that poison arrow.
Shoot that poison
arrow to my heart.
Shoot that poison arrow.
No rhythm in cymbals,
no tempo in drums.
Love on arrival,
she comes when she comes.
Right on the target
but wide of the mark.
What I thought was fire
was only the spark.
The sweetest melody.
Is an unheard refrain
I love this!
Julie!
Julie, wait up!
- Julie, where are you going?
- Home!
- What happened?
- Nothing!
With Juan Jo. I saw you go
in the closet with him.
Just forget it!
- What happened?
- I blew it, okay?
I got nervous. I froze. I swear,
I'm gonna fucking kill myself.
Oh, okay, calm down.
You didn't ruin it.
Just go back in there.
He's still in there.
I'm not going back in there.
- What is your problem?
- This is your chance!
Grow up already, Julie.
He is back there wanting you.
So just get over yourself,
and stop being such a head case!
Because you know what?
You don't even
like him that much.
He is just a guy.
He is in there, and you can do
whatever you want
because it doesn't matter.
He's leaving tomorrow.
So just go back in
there and get him.
Come on.
You have to.
I dare you.
I've been
waiting for so long.
To come here now
and sing this song.
Oh, don't be fooled
by what you see.
Don't be fooled
by what you hear.
Whoa.
This is a song to
all of my friends.
They take the challenge
to their hearts
I did it.
- No way.
- Yeah.
- You had sex with him?
- Everything but.
I am so proud of you.
Okay, I got to go.
Love you. Bye.
Ah.
Sorry, I, uh
I had to pack.
Uh, we're leaving soon.
Okay.
I'll go get ready.
We're going to miss you, Juan.
It was such a pleasure
having you with us.
Did you have a good time?
Lee, Barbara, Julie
I had the best time
an exchange student can have.
Thank you very, very much.
- Got it?
- Thank you so much.
- You will write to me?
- Yeah.
We'll see each other in Spain.
Julie
what can I say?
I don't know. What?
Dude!
I'm gonna miss you, man.
See you in Spain.
Okay?
- Bye.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- Gracias.
Gracias.
Dear Suzanne, I'm in Spain,
staying with Eduardo's family,
and I couldn't be
more happy about it.
Eduardo lives in the city,
and Juan Jo lives
out in the suburbs,
so I really lucked out.
I hardly even see
him, which is good,
because he's
actually kind of a loser here.
Eduardo's family is really nice,
and he has an older brother,
Fernando, who is so fine.
But I'm running out
of room on here.
Love you, Julie.
Dear Julie, I know it's
only been a week since you left,
but there's a lot going on here.
First of all, Amy's dad
caught her and Perry again,
and he took her out of school
and put her in Good Counsel.
She's so pissed.
Like, how is Catholic school
gonna make her fall
out of love with Perry?
He still picks her
up after school
whenever he doesn't have
football practice.
And they went to the last game
together, which we won.
Go, Tigers!
Since Chase took over singing
in The Mundos,
he's become a total dickwad.
He wants people to
call him The Kid.
Such an egomaniac.
He's really not a good singer.
Well, at least not
as good as Juan Jo was.
Saving the best for last,
remember Danny at the ski shop?
Would you be interested in...
He asked me out a few days ago,
and we're totally dating now.
He drives a Corvette,
which is really cool.
Bobby thinks it's
stupid, but it's not.
Last night his
parents weren't home,
and we made out in their hot tub
with Chaka Khan playing.
It was so romantic and sexy.
What older brother?
Can't believe you left me
hanging with that.
I want to hear everything.
Come back to me.
Love you, Suzanne.
Dear Suzanne,
I feel like I lived a whole life
away from you.
Fernando and I are in love.
He's Eduardo's older brother
that I was telling you about.
Can't wait to tell
you everything.
Te amo, Julie.
Hello?
You're back!
You look amazing!
Okay.
Come on, let's go
to the Fotomat.
I have so much to tell you.
Hey, Julie. You look good.
- Can you have these in an hour?
- I'll try.
Really? It says an hour.
Yeah, I know.
- What happened with Juan Jo?
- I was so over him.
I don't know what
I was thinking.
The thing about Juan Jo
is he only thinks about himself.
Mm-hmm.
Like, he's the star
in his own movie.
In Spain, he has
almost no friends.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah, and his parents
are really strict.
I had dinner over there
with him and Andy,
and it was so awkward.
Andy had the worst time.
- And Fernando?
- Well, and Fernando.
- You are so in love.
- He's so cute.
But, like, he's more
my kind of cute, I guess.
He's 19, so he's really mature.
- I told you about older guys.
- Yeah.
He took me to dinner, and he
was, like, asking if I was okay
when we were hanging out
with his friends.
And he listens to
what I have to say.
And he thinks about
me all the time.
You went all the way.
- He said he loved you?
- We both did.
Oh, that is so great!
He might be coming over in
the summer if he can afford it.
Thank you, Chase.
I want to see a picture.
Okay.
- Oh, he's so cute!
- I know.
- Look.
- Oh!
- And he made me a mixtape.
- Isn't that the best?
Moving
close, forever falling.
Like a satellite up in the sky.
Stars above, the Earth below me.
Every night, I wonder why
I won't let you go.
When I already know.
I want more than you can give.
More than I can say.
My heart and soul,
you can take it all.
Just take it all the way.
All the way.
All the way.
All the way
Long ago, I never learned.
How to let my heart decide.
Moving slow, the tables turn.
When I look into your eyes
I know.
Without a doubt.
That the road.
Is running out
I want more than you can give.
More than I can say.
My heart and soul,
you can take it all.
Just take it all the way.
All the way.
All the way.
All the way
Let it go, fall apart.
Make your move, break my heart.
Heaven knows the
price we'll pay.
If we take it.
All the way.
All the way.
All the way
