The Weekenders (2000) s01e04 Episode Script

Sense and Sensitivity

1
Okay, this happens every month or two.
A couple of the rich kids
from Campo Fields come
by after school and
kick our tails at 2 on 2.
But Lor is on fuego today.
She might finally win a game for us,
if she just passed the ball to
Diego once in a while.
Lor, pass it!
I'm open!
Campo Fields Middle School Rules!
Rematch, Sunday, 4 o'clock!
We'll be here.
And, maybe you'd like to make
it a little more interesting.
Loser's school has to fly the winner's
school flag for one month.
Hey, Coach Coulson.
I must point out that
it is against district
policy for one school
to fly the flag of another.
Nonetheless
You're on!
These kids will stop you from here to Kansas!
They'll smear you like liverwurst,
you gutless Campo punks!
growls
Alrighty, see you Sund'y.
You'll have a nice weekend.
Yeah, we're gonna tear you up on Sunday.
Campo!
Campo!
Campo!
I was open back there.
We coulda won!
Didn't anyone ever tell you
there's no "I" in "team"?
groans
Okay, why was he talking about spelling?
He means you're not a team player, Lor.
All you ever think about is yourself.
That's not true.
Lor is a sensitive and considerate person.
Yeah, and if anyone says different,
I'll smack him one.
Yeah, I know we
should get on Lor's case,
except, uh, tonight is the
premiere of Star Pilots 4.
Relevant?
Certainly, cause it's Lor's turn to wait
in line for tickets.
See, if we tick her off, suddenly we're
the ones stuck in line for hours, capische?
This is great!
I hear this movie has so many special
effects that practically nothing is real.
We're right on time.
Okay, I'll get the popcorn while you guys
grab seats.
Uhh, anyone see Lor?
Oh, no!
She's not here!
No way, Lor wouldn't let us down.
Are you nuts?
She lets us down all the time.
And let's have a look at some of those
times, through the magic of flashbacks.
Lor, I promised my sister I'd bring her a piece.
gulps That was a mistake.
Could we please leave now, Lor?
It's after midnight.
You're exaggerating.
Sporty McGoodington's is now closed.
Release the dogs.
Ahhh!!!!!!
[dogs barking menacingly]
All right, maybe Lor isn't always so
thoughtful.
Everyone has a bad day.
Day?
Try a decade.
She still wouldn't leave us
standing out here for two hours.
He-eeeyy!
What's going on?
Where were you?
Oooh, hi guys.
It's funny.
When I got to the box office, there were
only three tickets left.
So instead of having to decide
which of you would miss
the movie, I gave two tickets
to these complete strangers.
Thanks, Lor!
That way nobody was left out.
Hello?
We were left out.
Yeah, that's what I meant by nobody.
Lor, we trusted you.
How could you be so inconsiderate?
scoffs I'm not inconsiderate.
Am I?
I have had it with you.
If you can't be nicer
I don't want to be friends anymore.
I'm with Tino.
Tish? .. you'll stick with me right?
I'm sorry, Lor.
I defended you as long as I could.
But the guys are right.
You have to shape up.
But, Tish .. !!
I can change
Ah love pizza in zeh springtime, no? chefs kiss
So, what do you guys think?
Should we wait for Lor?
I'm sick of waiting for her.
But, we will if you want to, Tish.
After last night, I never want to wait for
her again.
Dig. In.
Hi, guys.
Sorry I'm late.
Did you just say, "sorry"?
The cheque, mes amies.
I'll pay, guys!
You'll pay!?
With, money??
Okay.
Lor paying for something,
is like a dog playing piano.
Not actually impossible,
but highly, highly unlikely.
This is the new me, guys.
The new, Nice me.
I'm going to be so nice,
you won't even believe it.
Being nice should be.. nice, right?
Key words: should be.
You can take anything too far.
And Lor is doin' it.
Like, uhh, her foot massages, for instance.
It's a very fine line between firm..
and agonizingly painful.
And Lor passed that line about 10 miles back.
Fresh squeezed lemonade for everyone.
Thanks, but --
Let me fluff those cushions again.
You just fluffed --
There you go!
Comfy!?
Lor, you really don't have --
Somebody needs his shirt pressed!
Lalalaa lala lalaaa
You see, you see what we've done.. !
We've turned Lor into the
~Creature from the Nice Lagoon~
It's true.
She was way more fun and way
less creepy when she was selfish.
And I think she broke a couple of
bones with that last foot massage.
Well, it gets worse.
She has to play those Campo
Fields guys tomorrow.
Your point?
Imagine, if you will, what the new Lor
will be like, in a basketball game.
C'mon Lor, c'mon yeah!
There y'are!
Can I do anything else for ya?
Uh-oh.
Guys, we gotta get her back
to normal before that game.
I made everyone waffles!
Don't worry, I'll figure out what we can do.
So what can we do?
You sure you're not exaggerating?
It can't be that bad.
Hi, Tino.. !
It's that bad.
You know, there's a lesson in this.
sigh Why did I know there would be?
Sometimes we think someone would be perfect,
if only we could change
one thing about them.
But when we change that one thing,
suddenly they're not the person we knew.
Yeah, okay.
Then before you know it, you're divorced
and raising a child all on your own.
This isn't about Lor anymore, is it?
Lor who?
Kidding!
How 'bout this?
You thank her for trying and ask her to
pull back on the niceness, just a smidge.
Go on, just talk to her.
Talk to her, eh?
It's so crazy, it just might work.
She's not pissed, she makes waffles,
she says please, she won't punch anybody
FIX HER.
Oh my dear, dear friends!
.. choking .. !!
Okay, Lor.
Uh, we really appreciate you trying to change and all..
But we're wondering if maybe you could
just try being a little considerate.
Yeaah, instead of being ~Nice Zilla~
Ooho, I get it.
You're testing me!
Well, I pass this test.
The new Nice Lor is here to stay.
Okay, my mom's plan didn't work.
You said it was your plan.
That was before it didn't work.
But it's okay, I have a backup.
You know how Coach Colson
does those video playbacks?
Here we see a play gone bad.
Turn and miss.
and turn and miss!
Sure, right.
Playbacks, yeah.
You have no idea what I'm talking about.
Not the faintest.
Not a one.
I made everyone biscuits and gravy!
Hey!
Lor, take a look at this.
Reach and grab.
.. and
Reach and grab.
Good hand action.
This getting through to you??
Feel like lettin' out the Old Lor?
I I I better fluff your cushion.
Oh, that does it.
Lor is doomed to an eternity
of excessive niceness.
Game over, fatal error.
The end.
No, come on.
Darn it.
Tape's stuck in here again.
sighs Lor, could you hand me that pin over there?
Get it yourself, you lazy jerk!
Yeah, you heard me.
I'm sick of being nice!
I give and give and give,
and do you appreciate it?
No!
You torture me with a bunch of lame-o videos!
And you didn't even say thanks
for the biscuits and gravy !
Man, you people drive me crazy
Yeah!
Aww right!
Lor, over here!
Here we go.. !
Wooo -- !
Yeah! yeah!!!!
aw right!!!
In your face, Campo Fields!
Losers! Loser! Loser!
Yeah!
Yeah! woohoooo
Well, she may not be perfect.
But she passed the ball to Diego, right?
So her whole selfish and considerate
thing is way better now.
Yeah, I must say I'm really
enjoying the new, improved Lor.
Come on!
Let's all go to the pizza place!
Tino's buying!
Lor!
Lor.. !!
Did I mention, that dramatic irony,
bites like a rabid monkey?
Ah, later days.
