Freaks and Geeks Script

Pilot: Part 3

Scene V

Neal: Gentlemen, here's my advice. Listen to Neal. You should handle Alan the same way Han Solo dealt with Jabba the Hutt. Avoid him.

Sam: Just avoid him forever?

Neal: Just for four years.

(Sam sighs)

Bill: Sam. There's Cindy Sanders.

Neal: (scoffs) Dream on, Sam.

Sam: Oh, man.

Bill: Uh-oh, incoming.

Cindy: Hey, Sam. I've been looking all over for you. Is this your jacket?

Sam: Yeah.

Cindy: Yeah, you left it in science so I didn't want it to get all dirty.

Sam: Oh, thanks, Cindy. That was really nice of you.

Cindy: Yeah, well, I'll see you later.

Bill: Sam. You are so in.

Sam: What?

Bill: She brought you your jacket. That means... she saw it, she remembered it was yours, she picked it up and carried it through the halls.

Neal: People probably saw her with it and everything.

Sam: I wonder if she has a date for the dance.

Bill: Cindy Sanders is in love with you, man.

Scene VI

Sam: You really think Cindy likes me?

Bill: Hello? The jacket.

Neal: No way. We're not her species.

Sam: Listen, just do me a favor. Ask around. See if she has a date for the dance.

Bill: Who should I ask?

Neal: Okay. The dance is tomorrow. She's a cheerleader. You've seen Star Wars 27 times. Do the math.

Sam: I know, I know. But my dad always tells me that the prettiest girls usually don't get asked out 'cause guys are too afraid to ask 'em.

Bill: Really? Maybe I should ask out Farrah Fawcett Majors.

Neal: Hey, maybe I should ask out Bill's mom.

Bill: You better not.

Sam: Listen, just ask around, okay?

Bill: Don't even think about it.

Ken: Get out of the way. Hey! Chemistry exam you ordered.

Daniel: All right. Good job. Where are the answers?

Ken: You just said to steal the test.

Daniel: Oh, good work, genius. Way to use your brain.

Ken: What?

Kim: I'm cutting. Who's got gum?

Nick: Sorry.

Kim: Oh, yeah, that's real great. Why don't you blow your nose in some bread and make me a sandwich too?

Ken: Why is everyone crawling up my butt today?

Daniel: 'Cause you're a moron.

Lindsay: Hey, Kim. I got some.

Kim: What's she doing here?

Daniel: Uh, she's our friend.

Kim: What, are you doing her so that she'll help you with your math homework?

Daniel: Hey, lay off.

Lindsay: Um, Kim, I-

Kim: I wasn't talking to you, brain. Don't you have a test to take or something?

Nick: Hey, would you be cool? I mean, please.

Lindsay: Did I do something to you?

Kim: You're here.

Daniel: Kim.

Lindsay: I have as much right to be here as you do.

Kim: Hey, brain, I shoplift in your daddy's store. You're just some rich kid who's trying to pies off her parents. You think you can hang with these guys? You think that's gonna make you cool?

Lindsay: I don't know what to tell you.

Kim: You know what? I'm sorry. Let's be friends.

Daniel: Hey.

Kim: There. Now we're friends. See you at the mall.

Daniel: What are you, on your period?

Kim: Hey, you wanna hang around with your little poser friend here and pretend with her, then that's your waste of time. Just keep her the hell away from me.

Ken: That is exactly why I don't carry a purse.

(class bell rings)

Nick: I gotta... I gotta get to shop class. It's the only one I can pass. Here. I'm sorry.

Lindsay: Don't you have to get to class too?

Daniel: Oh, I'll survive.
