(lassoing and chime)
(car doors closing)
(crickets chirping)
- Who's going in?
- I better stay here,
- I'm staying with him,
- Alright, who wants to take the lead here?
Todd,
(suspenseful music)
- It's almost 11:30, Tim,
you said I wouldn't miss my curfew,
- You'll be fine,
- Why do we even hang out with these guys?
- Because they're the only ones that get it,
- What is that? - What?
- Oh shoot, just play it cool, just play it cool,
- What seems to be going on here?
- Hi, just getting some fresh air, sir,
- Fresh air huh? - Yeah,
- Let's see what we got here?
- Uh, you know, the usual stuff,
school books, calculators, pencils,
- Alright cut the crap, what's going on?
- Out for a night drive,
- Just out for a night drive,
(suspenseful music)
- It was just staring at me, it was creepy,
- You gotta be kidding me, - No,
- Hey, hey,
- We're screwed,
- Unlock the car,
(all yelling)
- I know who you are,
- My parents are gonna kill me,
- Chill, - Chill?
- It's 12 am, Tim,
I was supposed to be home half an hour ago
and there are still maggots
in the trunk of my Satellite, maggots,
- Bran, you have to relax, okay,
We're gonna put up an elm tree in the trunk,
Everything is gonna be fine,
Does anyone have a dollar?
(suspenseful music)
(screaming)
(uptempo pop music)
- Yo Tim,
- Aloha Tonga,
Hello, hello, good day to you,
You guys got your crew tickets yet?
- Not yet, - You gotta get on that,
Start thinking about it really,
- I will man, - Alright,
Ladies, what do we got here?
We have to take care of these babies for an entire week,
- Is that right?
Does this one have a name?
- Not yet, any suggestions?
- How about Modine?
- That's my mom's name,
- Bran, this is too cute,
Grab a quick picture,
- Tim, we're gonna be late,
- Support the head,
Here we go,
Look at those beautiful eyes,
Okay smile,
Great,
(bell ringing)
- And we're late, perfect,
- Good luck,
You're gonna love motherhood,
- This Friday is the big game against our rival,
So come out and support quarterback,
Brad Hartley and the rest of the team
as they lead us to another victory,
Also remember to bring your IDs to the football game,
It is so annoying when you don't have them,
- Oh wait, - What?
- I have something I want to say,
Good morning, Mount Vista High School,
This is Tim Timmerman,
Your student body president,
Alright, let's get down to business,
This weekend is our big rival football game
against Taft High,
Boo,
- We already announced that, - Really?
Let me just quickly plug my halftime show, okay,
Okay guys, this weekend me and the jungle
have a stellar half time show planned for you,
It's going to be legendary,
You are not gonna wanna miss it,
It's gonna be amazing,
And finally let me just say one final thing,
(playing Hail to the Chief)
If you're feeling alone, scared, insecure,
just know that your student body president loves you,
I love you Mount Vista High,
Thank you guys,
Okay, good announcements right,
Great, just have a few things to go over,
Let's see what do we have here,
What do we have here,
- What are you plans for winter formal?
- Winter formal, yeah,
- The president is in charge of winter formal,
- I am aware of that and Brandon and I
have worked out something special,
Been working really hard,
I think you guys are really gonna love it,
- Well we don't wanna tell you just yet,
We have to work out a few things, dot the Is, cross the Ts,
- The dance is in less than a month,
- I'm aware of that,
Thank you for the reminder Miss MacKenzie,
- You're so welcome,
- Thank you guys so much,
This is great,
You guys look great,
Alright, see you later,
Why can't she just chill out?
I don't care if she leads,
You think I give a crap about being president?
I only did it to pad my resume,
- Why did you tell them we had something planned?
I don't remember talking about a plan,
- Because we don't have one yet, Bran,
- Well then why would you say we did,
- Because I was buying time,
Politicians do it all the time,
It's called pork barreling,
Oh I forgot,
Dr, V, how's it going?
Nice tweed suit,
This is new isn't it?
- You were late again this morning,
- I know, I'm so sorry,
I was out among the people,
But listen, I'm applying to Yale soon,
How would you like to write my letter of recommendation?
- I got a phone call this morning from the PTA president,
Any idea what that might have been about?
- No, - You've no idea?
- She said there were rumors going around
you're involved with the assassin game,
Is it true?
- Yes, but it's just a game, sir,
- It's gambling,
- Tim, you haven't been doing yourself any favors lately,
- Pretending you were drunk at the freshman orientation,
- People thought that was hilarious,
- Hanging out with potheads,
we should have as student body president,
- Alright, okay, I will try to do better,
- Tim you know I want you to succeed,
I just need you to try to be a better president,
- Okay, - Okay,
- About the letter of recommendation,
Okay sounds good,
I will circle back with you in a couple of weeks,
Thanks, Dr, V,
- Caucasian males, I would say between 10 and 15 of them,
I caught the perps around 02300 hours, quarter past,
Most likely Mount Vista kids
because of the big rival game coming up,
I was just minding my own business
so one of the big guys came up behind me
and he kind of tried to choke me
and I reverted back to my time in the war,
- They're using road kill this year,
- Did you get a vehicle description?
- Yeah it was very dark but it was a vintage vehicle,
brown color,
Hey, listen is that a Smith & Wesson?
- Glock 40,
- You know the purple bowl, you silly goose,
Yeah the one with the pretty pattern on the bottom,
Yeah, that's gonna fit the entire salad, I know it,
Of course I love your salads,
As much as I love you, sweetie,
Okay, I gotta go,
I'll talk to you later,
Kisses, love you
(kissing sounds)
Women, right?
Okay what is your last name?
- Timmerman, Tim Timmerman,
- Okay here you are,
Now Tim, have you decided how many colleges
you want to apply to?
- Just Yale, - Yale?
- Yes, - The Ivy League school,
- Well going into politics, it's a perfect fit,
- Okay, your SATs and your ACTs are definitely good enough
to go to Yale and that's yummy and your GPA ,,,
about changing some of those grades,
- Look, Tim, I'm gonna play honesty planet
with you right now,
With a GPA like this, Yale is gonna be
pretty much out of your range,
- Well that's pretty presumptuous,
I would suggest the University of Utah
but with your grades, boy,
- All my brothers went to U of U
and besides I have the presidential scholarship
if I want it,
- Uh no, see the presidential scholarship
at the U of U requires a GPA of at least 3,0,
You've got a 2,45,
- Thanks for the reminder,
- I think a good fit for you
is gonna be Salt Lake Community College,
- Timmermans do not go to SLCC,
- Tim, community college is nothing to be ashamed of,
- Good to know,
What a joke,
I didn't even see a diploma on that guy's wall,
SLCC, can you imagine, Bran?
My brothers would never let me live that down,
- Braj! - Braj,
- What's up dude?
- Gotta get the lead out,
Do you wanna get a burrito?
I got free student government coupons,
- Say no more, man, say no more,
Come here, come here,
Tim, this is my cousin,
He's up here visiting from Salt Lake,
This here is Tim,
He's our student body president
and the same guy who did
that bitching announcement this morning,
Just a solid guy,
Okay, cool, let's go get some munchies,
Oh my mom's got the brajer mobile
for the day so can Bran drive?
- Actually I don't-
- Yeah totally, let's go, - Alright,
- Hey Tim, - Kevin,
- Kevin's actually my older brother,
I'm Jessup,
- Oh Jessup, that's right,
Hang on a second guys,
I'm gonna talk to this kid,
How's it going man?
- Where you off to?
- El Azteca, - That sounds fun,
Can I tag along?
- You know, my man, it's a little crowded in that car,
- Braj, let's go,
- Listen, think I could call you sometime?
I just wanted to ask what it's like
and how one might go about getting elected,
- You know what, why don't I give you my pager number,
- Wow, that would be so awesome,
- Come on braj, there's hungry mouths to feed,
Let go,
- Alright, it's 877-PREZ with a z,
Can you remember that, dude?
- Got it,
Thank you so much,
You're the best,
- No problem dude,
Later,
- What's wrong, braj?
You seem a little down in the dumps,
- It's the administration coming down on me again,
- Man I'm telling you, they just don't get you,
You're like a diamond in the rough,
- Thanks, man,
- You sure this is gonna work?
- Well, it's true that he's home sick
but Ross Thompson pulls stuff like this all the time,
- Listen little cuz, the way the game assassins
works is like this,
Every year a few hundred students put $5 into a pot,
Right, you get a pellet gun and the name
of somebody you shoot,
you get the name that he had, so on, so forth,
Last man standing wins the pot,
- Only rule is, you can't shoot anyone on school campus,
- Every year this weirdo goth kid
named Ross Thompson wins the game,
He's the worse,
- Every year but this year,
- Hey Mike,
I didn't know you lived here,
- Hey what's up man?
- My car battery is actually dead,
I just wanted to see if you had
some jumper cables I could borrow,
(suspenseful music)
- Yo Vassey,
- How could I be so stupid?
- Who's name did you have?
- Brad Hartley, - Ooh,
- That was creative with the car and everything though,
- Just an old assassin's trick, my friend,
Sweet robe,
- Anyone want a tug? - What?
Don't smoke in the car,
We're gonna get- - No it's gonna fine,
It's gonna be alright,
(all yelling)
- Stop, get you off of this crap,
- Speaking of crap, what is this we're listening to?
Here stick this in,
(rock music playing)
- Ooh, - That's more like it,
You gotta hold it steady, braj, steady,
(rock music playing)
- Slow down a little bit, Brad,
- Why? - I'm gonna give
these guys a show,
- What? - Here just hold this,
Perfect,
I'm gonna teen wolf here,
- Tim, no Tim,
(all chanting Tim)
(rock music playing)
(all cheering)
(chanting Tim wolf)
- Yeah,
(rock music playing)
(siren blaring)
- Tim, Tim get down, Tim,
(siren blaring)
- What's this?
- Brandon could you give us a moment please?
I need to speak with Tim alone,
You're just dang lucky they didn't charge you,
- It wasn't mine,
- Well who's was it then?
I really didn't want to have to do this
but I may have to impeach you,
- What does that mean?
- Believe me it's not something that I want to do-
- No what does impeach mean?
I don't know what that word means,
- It means you would be removed as president,
- What? - I have given you
every opportunity to change,
- The joint wasn't mine, sir,
- This is not about the joint, Tim,
I'm putting you on formal probation
until I can set a date for an impeachment hearing,
Until then MacKenzie Miller will be acting president,
- Oh you gotta be kidding me,
- You are not to give morning announcements,
You are not to perform at the half time this Friday,
at council meetings until after the hearing, you got that?
your parking pass and your sweater,
I am done messing around,
(solemn rock music)
- Howdy Tim,
(solemn rock music)
(slow sax music)
- Hold still please,
- President Clinton?
- Last time I looked in the mirror,
Rough day today, huh Tim?
- I said hold still please,
- You know my name?
- Who doesn't?
You know, you remind me a lot of myself when I was your age,
- Really? - My sixth grade teacher,
Kathleen Scheer once said, Billy when you grow up
you're either gonna be a governor
or get in a whole lot of trouble,
I think I fulfilled both of those predictions,
But seriously, I look at you and I say,
Tim, you are America's hope,
- Wow, that's a great compliment,
But what do you mean by America's hope?
(wind whistling and ominous music)
Bill?
- What part of hold still don't you understand?
(easy listening music)
- Oh Tim, you poor thing,
Have a seat on the couch,
Can I get you something to drink?
- Yeah, that'd be great thanks,
- I am so annoyed,
This whole thing is ridiculous,
- I know and I had such great plans for this year,
(easy listening playing)
- I was really looking forward to us working together,
- I just don't think Dr, V gets me,
I'm not an Xs and Os guy, I'm a people guy,
- Exactly,
- It's been so difficult with MacKenzie on the cabinet,
She still hasn't gotten over the loss,
- Ugh MacKenzie,
You know, Carl tends to rush into decisions,
Let me talk to him,
- Really?
You would do that?
Are you sure?
- Has he set a hearing date yet?
- No there's no date yet,
- Well then I am gonna make sure you don't get impeached,
I mean this whole thing is a joke,
(both laughing)
- That would be so great,
Thank you Miss Murphy,
- Call it an early birthday present,
- Oh that's it,
That's the car and those are the plates,
(moderate instrumental music)
Oh geez,
No, no, no!
(crowd cheering)
- Dude, you're like the most bitchingest
student body president this school's ever had,
I think the problem is these people
just don't appreciate your leadership skills,
- Hi are you Tim Timmerman?
- Yeah, - I'm Sydney Anderson,
I'm the SBP at Taft High,
You're the Mount Vista SBP right?
- Yeah, that's right,
- Are you guys doing a food drive this year?
- I'm not sure,
- Well I was wondering because the homeless shelter
in town is really in need of food,
Is your council maybe interested in partnering
with us for a can drive,
- Okay nice, - Oh well I was thinking
that was done at our school, you know the deer thing,
- Oh I heard about that, that was terrible,
- Do you think your council will be interested?
- We're pretty busy these days but nice to meet you,
- Oh I'm sorry, what did you say?
- We'll see but I really gotta get to the can, alright,
- Oh well could you at least hand out
some of these flyers for us?
And here's my number in case you change your mind,
Have you ever used a national relay service before?
- I don't think so,
- Well you'll figure it out,
- Okay, - Bye,
- I see our deer prank has made a fine impression,
- What the crap is this?
Food drive?
I don't have time for this, - Alright,
- Ugh, - What?
- The student body president just threw away
all the flyers I gave him,
- Why did she talk funny?
- Oh she's deaf,
- How do you know that?
- Read an article about her in the weekly Herald,
Sorry, excuse me,
- They wrote a story about her?
- Yeah, pretty impressive chick,
(crowd cheering)
- Halftime,
(moderate tempo pop music)
- Braj look, I know that you don't care for her
but she is such a Betty,
- Whatever you say, dude,
- MacKenzie, do a herky,
Come on please?
She's so hot,
Chastity, do a herky,
(all laughing)
Oh man,
Sucks you're not gonna get to do your halftime show though,
- Tell me about it,
(pager beeping)
I'm getting a page,
- Who is it?
- It's that Jessup kid,
- That kid's a piece of work,
Hey, why'd you even give him your pager number?
- I don't know, I felt bad for him,
- You're such a good dude, man,
- Well thanks,
- Hey Tim, I heard you got impeached man, that sucks,
- I didn't get impeached bro,
- Right on,
- I'm gonna get you,
- Ross Thompson's got your name for assassins huh?
- Yeah,
- Bummer,
What's the pot up to again? - A thousand bones,
- Okay,
That's enough to buy a school huh?
But Ross Thompson's got something coming to him this year,
- [Game Announcer] That's it for the first half,
Jerry Wooley, president of the Wooley Foundation,
along with US Senator Pete Anderson,
(crowd applauding)
- [Tim] Is that really a senator?
- [Garrett] Yeah, Pete Anderson, US Senator,
- I read the paper, dude, - You do?
- Yeah, knowledge is power,
It's a pleasure to be here at this rivalry game tonight,
I'm even more delighted to be out of session,
(crowd laughs)
100 years ago I actually attended Mount Vista High,
I was the student body president in 1960,
- No way,
- And back then we had an award
called the Hope of America award,
- Hope of America, how do I know that?
- I don't believe that I'd be here today
if it wasn't for this award,
I'm delighted to announce that we are bringing
the Hope of America award back on December 15th,
The Wooley Foundation will choose one lucky student
from both Taft High and Mount Vista High
to join me and my daughter, Sydney,
Sydney, why don't you come on out here and join us?
There she is,
(crowd applauding)
- The chick's his daughter,
- Yeah they mentioned it in the article,
A really good piece,
- Why didn't you tell me that?
- I don't know, why does it matter, braj?
- Politics, braj, it's all about who you know,
- The two winners of the Hope of America award
will join Sydney as a page for me,
this winter semester in Washington, DC,
And one last thing, I strongly believe
that grades and test scores are not a true indicator
of a person's leadership potential,
- Amen,
- So when the Wooley's Foundation interviews,
they will be looking for just one thing;
leadership experience,
Well that's all from me,
Good luck and enjoy the rest of the game,
(crowd cheering and clapping)
- Oh hey, Tim,
- Hey Sylvia, love the new do,
- Do you think I could get one of those
Hope of America applications?
- Absolutely,
(girls giggling)
- Thanks,
- [Television] Not because of me but because of you,
Only cause of you,
- Stop it, you just stop it,
- That's what you get,
(phone ringing)
National relay service,
- Yes, I'm sorry, what'd you say?
- National relay service,
This is the telephone service for the deaf,
You calling somebody who's deaf?
- Yes I am,
What do I do?
- I need the person's name, sugar,
- Phone's for you,
It's a boy,
- I'm serious, he was just staring at me,
It was creepy,
- No way, now that is freaky,
You know that's the damn devil right there,
Oh, here she is,
Hello, this is Sydney,
- I'm still here,
- Is that what you want me to write, baby?
- Oh she's on the phone,
No, no, no, no, no,
Just write, hi, this is Tim Timmerman,
student body president at Mount Vista High,
How are you today?
- She says, I'm busy, - Okay,
Tell her I'd like to talk about the canned food drive,
- She says, I saw you throw away my flyers,
- Did I do that?
Listen, I am super jazzed about this canned food drive,
I just, I can't stop coming up with ideas,
- Really, like what?
- Oh well I thought it might be nice if we would meet,
Maybe I could come to your house
so we could meet face to face,
I think you're gonna be really impressed
with the ideas I've come up with,
More cans than you can imagine,
- Damn boy, you really know how to talk to a woman,
- Perks of being president, that's a good question,
Well you get the best parking spot in the school,
You get to make morning announcements, free burritos,
- Hey Tim, - Hey man,
Random people know who you are,
I have no idea who that kid was,
- Do you really think a guy like me could get elected?
- Sure, - But I'm not friends
with any of the popular kids,
- Are you kidding me?
You see me chumming around with Brad Hartley
and the rest of the popular kids?
Here watch this,
Brad, hey Brad,
Brad, Bradley, Brad,
See, he doesn't like me,
Now let me ask you a question,
How many kids go to this school?
- I don't know, 1500?
- And how many of those kids are popular?
- Not many,
Ohh,
- Now you're starting to catch on,
Politics is a very simple game,
All you need is 51% of the vote
and who's gonna give you that 51%?
- Hey Tim, - Hey man,
Your biggest challenge is that you started campaigning
just a little bit too late,
Listen I gotta get going,
Let's talk about this more,
You've got a lot to learn, my friend,
- Okay, thanks Tim,
- Bran, hey,
Hey, where were you this morning?
I had to get a ride from my mom,
It was really embarrassing,
Listen what're you doing second period?
- Why?
- I'm gonna need you to shlup man,
- What for? - Oh no big deal,
I just need to go to a US senator's house,
Senator Pete Anderson,
This same senator who's sponsoring
the Hope of America award,
His daughter is the student body president
at Taft High School,
She's my in with this guy and get this, Taft High, sorry,
Taft High doesn't have school today,
She wants me to come over to her house
to talk about partnering our councils up
or something like that,
- But you're on probation,
- Yeah, Miss Murphy's gonna take care of that,
Bran, I don't think you understand how huge this is for me,
If I get in with the chick's father,
I'm a shoo in for the Hope of America award,
Then, I'll be rubbing shoulders on the hill
with Pete fetching Anderson,
- I can't miss this class,
- Bran, please, this is huge,
Everything is falling into place,
This is a senator,
You how those guys operate,
One phone call and I'm into Yale,
It's called a power endorsement,
- Lastly do not forget to bring your money tomorrow
for the bake sale in support of the chess club,
Oh one last announcement,
It has come to our attention that some of our students
performed an act of vandalism at Taft High School
involving a dead animal,
A $200 reward will be given to anyone
who has any information regarding this despicable act,
- Okay come on Bran, let's get going,
I told her we'd be there by 10,
We're gonna be super late,
- Are you kidding? - What?
- Did you not just hear the announcement?
- What?
Oh you mean the deer thing?
- Tim, we're probably gonna get expelled,
- No, who's gonna say anything?
- Guy probably doesn't even know his own name,
Come on let's get going, - No,
- Bran, - Tim, I said no,
- Bran, come on, I really need you on this one, okay,
I need to put my best foot forward if-
- My parents don't want me hanging out with you anymore,
- They said that? - Yeah,
I'm sorry, I gotta get to class,
- What's up dude?
- You got the braj mobile here today,
- Yeah, - Good,
I need you to take me somewhere,
- I can't slough this class, man,
- Why? - It's welding,
It's my future,
I'm sorry,
- Jessup, Jessup,
- What's up, Tim?
- Hey Mr, Hadley,
I just need to pull Jessup Jacobs out of class real quick,
We just have official government business,
- Wow, this is huge,
(door bell ringing)
- Hi, how's it going, - Hi,
You don't have to yell, it's okay,
- Oh I didn't know,
- I'm hard of hearing so I can hear a little bit,
I can read your lips,
- Oh, outstanding,
This is Jessup Jacobs,
he's my protege, - Hi,
- Is this fireplace wood or gas?
- I'm not sure,
(sniffing)
- It's probably gas,
You mind if we take a quick tour?
- Where are your parents?
- I think they're out golfing
but we should probably head back in too,
I don't have much time today,
- Sure, this is totally the type of place
I'm gonna get when I get older,
How much do senators make by the way,
if you don't mind me asking?
- Oh, not that much but my dad
was a lobbyist before he became a senator so,
- A lobbyist huh?
I bet you guys throw some killer parties here,
Oh my gosh, is that what I think it is?
Okay Jessup, fire it up,
(moderate pop music)
Do it again,
Okay do it again,
- Wait, - Okay,
- I don't know what's going on here,
Speed it up maybe,
Ooh,
Okay, hang on, look at that,
- I don't have a lot of time, we should probably get going,
- Wait just a couple more,
- Are you okay?
- Wasn't ready for that one,
(crunching ice)
Love Corses spencers,
- So what are your ideas? - Hmm?
- For the canned food drive,
You said you had a bunch of ideas,
- Right, yeah,
Fetch, I forgot my notes,
- Can you remember anything off the top of your head?
- Yes, I was thinking that we could, we should-
- What about the dance idea, Tim?
- Hmm?
- The idea for the combined school dance?
- Yes, the winter formal,
We did talk about that didn't we?
Yes we could have a competition to see who
can bring more cans between the two schools,
- A combined school dance, - Yeah,
- That's a really good idea,
- Isn't that great?
- Who would host it?
This is great,
- You guys talk about that,
- Yeah it's just down to the right,
- Thank you so much,
Oh ice,
(dramatic music)
Hello Senator,
(dramatic music)
Veto, veto, reconsider,
(dramatic music)
- Can I help you?
- Yes, I apologize,
I'm so sorry,
- You should start with telling me who you are,
- Yes, I'm Tim Timmerman,
I'm student body president of Mount Vista High School,
- Well you probably shouldn't be in here,
- No, no I shouldn't,
- Tim? - Hey Sydney,
Should we meet now?
- I could've sworn you said second door on the left,
- Oh, dad we're just planning a dance,
- Ah,
- Yeah so I should probably get going,
It was nice to meet you,
Ugh I feel so bad about what happened with your dad,
- I'm sorry what, what'd you say?
- Oh I was just saying I was kind of embarrassed
about what happened with your dad,
- Oh don't worry about it,
He just gets a little bored and crank
when he's not in session,
I'm really excited about this dance, guys,
- Yeah, it's gonna be so much fun,
right away don't you think?
We could meet this Saturday,
We could meet at my school,
- Oh you know what, I think you and I should probably
meet privately a couple times before we do that,
- Why? - Just so we can work
on a couple things, like dot our Is, cross our Ts, etc,
- I don't know, the dance is only a month away so-
- Saturday will be good, - Oh, okay great,
I'm really excited,
- Me too, let's do it,
- See you guys later,
- Alright see you,
- Have a good day, - Bye,
- You were really great in there, by the way,
- Really? - Yeah, that dance idea
was brilliant,
You are deceptively brilliant, you know that Jessup,
- You know-
(bushes rustle)
- Wait a minute, - What?
- I heard something,
- What is it?
(dramatic music)
- Hi
(dramatic music)
(singing Jolly Good Fellow)
(cheering and clapping)
- I need to get a picture, smile,
(cheering and clapping)
I got you something special,
I signed us up for salsa dancing lessons,
- Wow, thanks, Monica,
- I thought that you could add it
to your list of talents on your Yale application,
- Oh our first class is next Saturday at seven o'clock,
- Okay, great,
Thank you,
- Well thank you so much for having me
to your birthday super bash,
- Later Tim,
- Later dude, - Thanks, man,
Hey, listen, have you had a chance
to talk to Dr, V yet?
- No not yet but I was actually thinking
it would be a really good idea for us to get together
a few times before then to figure out how to do this,
- Okay do you think we could get the impeachment hearing
going this week?
- I don't know, why?
but I need to get it going as ASAP as possible,
- Okay well I'll see what I can do,
- Great party, Tim, but we've gotta go, curfew,
- Alright, well thanks man, thanks for coming by,
- Hey where was Brandon tonight?
- I don't know, didn't stop by,
- That kid's a riot, - Is he?
- See you Miss Murphy, - Bye guys,
So should I pick you up at 6:30 on Saturday?
Here's what we'll do, we'll get Jessup to fill in for me,
Good guy,
- Oh no no, I don't think so,
- No it's gonna be great,
He's a natural dancer,
Jessup, Jessup,
- Oh excuse me,
Hold that thought, I'll be right back,
- Jessup, salsa, have fun,
- Salsa, oh okay,
Hi Miss Murphy, how are you?
- Hi Jessup,
- So salsa,
because it's not even from like Puerto Rico or Cuba
which is where it's influenced by,
It actually just originated in New York
- That's wonderful Jessup, really that's great,
So have a good night,
Bye - Well if you need,
I can walk you to your car or okay
- Save Tim Timmerman,
Save Tim Timmerman, - Sure,
- Sign my petition,
Sign my petition,
Hey man,
Listen I had a really funny memory this morning,
You remember that time in fifth grade when Scotty Shumway
tried to fight you?
He kept pushing you and egging you on
and you're like, Scotty I'm not gonna fight you,
Scotty I'm not gonna fight you
and then wham you punched him right in the face,
He was on the ground bleeding
and then you just look at everyone
and you're just like, did I just do that?
That's when I knew that we would be best friends, forever,
- So what's that?
- This is a petition, Monica thought it'd be a good idea
for me to have everyone sign it so I wouldn't get impeached,
Do you wanna sign it?
- Not really,
- Hey Tim, killer party last night,
- Hey guys, - Yeah, I gotta go,
- Do you wanna get a burrito or something after school?
- I'm pretty busy,
We got a lot of homework to do and stuff so,
- Are you sure?
- Yeah, - Alright,
- See ya, - See you later, Tim,
- Alright,
- What's that, Tim?
- It's a petition to me reinstated,
- I'll sign it,
You got screwed man, - Thanks, man,
That's 1200 signatures, sir,
1237 to be exact,
- It's out of my hands, Tim,
You know how much I like you,
You know how much I want you to do well,
But every time I give you a chance, you let me down,
I'm sorry but my reputation is on the line,
(suspenseful music)
- What the fetch?
- How high do you wanna go, Tim?
- Oh, hey President Clinton,
- Here comes the underdog, - What?
Okay I'm gonna jump off now,
Good to see you again,
- Likewise, I wish it was under better circumstances,
- Yeah, - So what're you gonna do now?
- I don't know,
The only chance of winning that Hope of America award
- Tim, take this for what it's worth,
But history is filled with examples
of fortune favoring leaders
when their backs were up against the wall,
You know, armies approaching and then
right in the moment of crisis,
the clouds part and destiny shines,
- Tim, you need to believe in a thing called hope,
Hope, Tim, hope,
(growling)
(car starting)
- Bill?
(suspenseful music)
(laughing)
(breathing heavily)
(groaning)
- Thanks for meeting with us, you guys,
- Thank you for having us here today,
- I thought we discussed having your whole council
and your advisor here,
It appears however though that many of my council members
are buried with responsibilities that I've given them,
I have been able to bring some of my cabinet members
here today though,
- Oh okay, I just didn't know if we could plan something
so big without having all your people here,
- Actually, we come bearing some bad news,
So originally we had scheduled the dance for November 20th,
however, it appears that there's also
an important swim meet scheduled for that same night,
- Oh I think we'd be open to moving
the dance back a week, right?
Why don't you call the DJ and make sure that still works
for him, okay? - Sure,
- And we just need to divide up some responsibilities,
Would you guys be willing to help out with-
- Excuse me, Sydney,
(whispering) Should I just tell her?
- Sure, - Okay,
Tim was too embarrassed to tell you this so I guess I will,
He brought the idea up to the administration
and they immediately shot him down,
The winter formal is sort of a sacred event at Mount Vista,
They've done it the same way for 50 years
and they just can't stomach change,
- I don't understand,
I thought you said that everyone was onboard,
- Initially, yes, yes they were,
But after they thought about it some more
they just said no,
I begged and pleaded with them of course,
- Okay, - I'm very sorry,
- We'll just figure out something else then,
Sorry guys,
- She's never gonna talk to me again,
- Things fall through all the time,
- Yeah, I guess,
What was I thinking trying to set up a dance?
- It could've worked,
I could've pushed the whole thing through,
That was a really good excuse, by the way, Jessup,
You have real leadership potential,
- Really? - I'm serious,
You're great, - You think I could beat
somebody like Rick Miller,
- I just wish you would've come to me sooner,
I started campaigning when I was a freshman,
It takes time to win an election, Jessup,
You know what I'm just gonna call her,
I gotta patch things up,
Do you have a quarter?
- Yep, - Thanks, be right back,
- Pretty good burritos huh?
You guys go to Mount Vista?
- Yeah why? - Well so do I,
I'm Jessup Jacobs, nice to meet you guys,
- She wasn't home,
I think I'm just gonna go over there,
I'm better in person anyway,
Hey, - Hi,
- So I kind of wanted to apologize
for how the meeting went the other day,
- Oh thanks, I understand,
- Yeah, the administration just threw me
for a total curve ball,
You know how that goes, - Yeah,
- So, - Well I gotta get going,
Thanks for stopping by though,
- Oh, where you going?
- I volunteer at the deaf school,
- Really?
I love volunteering,
Sure you wanna push that?
See what happens, push it,
Yes, yes,
Three in a row,
Let's play again,
Wanna do another one?
You wanna play round two?
Go again?
Okay let's rebuild it,
(reciting Itsy Bitsy Spider)
(moderate instrumental music)
This was really fun,
- Yeah it was,
I think those kids really liked you,
- You think?
Oh well, thank you,
So we should hang out again some time,
- Yeah, - Alright,
- Oh hey, do you know how to ski?
- What the dickens is going on here?
- Everything okay, Tim?
- Oh yeah, yeah, I'm fine,
- Were they working the last time you used them?
- Yeah, the boots are my friend's,
These are my uncle's,
Both told me they were working great,
Hey is this supposed to look like this?
Cause this one looks like this,
- Hey dad, it's gonna take a little longer that we expected,
So we'll just meet you on the hill okay?
Can I have a few dollars?
- Yeah, what for?
- Tim wants to tip the shop guy,
Thanks dad,
See you later,
- Yeah it was creepy, he was just staring at me,
- That's a crazy story, man,
(suspenseful music)
- What's going on?
- He's got a gun,
- Hop on back,
(dramatic music)
- Hey guys,
- Tim, where have you been?
I've been so worried,
- I'll tell you about it later,
- How's the powder?
Chilly,
It was a lot of fun today,
- Yeah, it was,
What's wrong?
- He hates me, - No,
Hey Tim,
I've been thinking, I really, really wanna do
this combined school dance,
I just think it's such a great idea,
- Yeah, yeah, I really wanna do it too,
My advisors are just so set in their ways,
- Well what if I talked to them,
- To my advisors? - Yeah,
- I don't think that's such a good idea,
- Why not?
- Sydney, I think there's something
that I need to tell you, - What?
- Actually, let me talk to them one more time,
- Okay, thanks everyone for being here,
First let's talk about our plans for spirit week,
- MacKenzie can I bring something up?
- Tim, you know the rules,
- Yeah but I have something really important
that I need to say,
- Fine, but after the meeting,
- And in closing, think about all the bridges
we could build at Taft High,
especially after the deer prank
and all the homeless people that we'll be saving,
- Doesn't that sound great guys?
- We already have plans for our food drive,
- What are they? - What we always do,
The faculty talent show,
- Is anyone here really excited
to see Miss Brown play the french horn again?
- We always do the talent show,
And besides Taft's colors clash with our colors,
- Think about all the food that we could be raising
using competition and we can announce
the Hope of America finalists,
I personally know Taft High's SBP and she loves the idea,
- Canned food at a formal dance is tacky,
- But it's for a good cause,
- That's why we do the faculty talent show,
(bell ringing)
- Sorry,
So how'd it go?
- She didn't go for it,
- Well what're you gonna do?
- I don't know, I don't know,
I guess I'm just,
I'm gonna tell her, - Yeah?
- Sydney has her heart set on this thing,
MacKenzie won't budge,
- I'm sorry,
I wanted to show you this,
Just get a second opinion,
What do you think?
- Uh we'll work on something better,
Come on, let's go,
(suspenseful music)
- Oh jeez,
(suspenseful music)
Yes,
- [Intercom] Mr, Wakefield? - Yeah,
- [Intercom] Can you please send
Tim Timmerman to the office? - Sure, Tim,
- Hey Modine,
- Well now that we're all here,
I wanna thank you all for coming,
We really appreciate it,
Everyone this is Officer Roland Pratt,
- Ronald, - Ronald,
- Platt, Ronald Platt,
- Ronald Platt,
He's a security guard with Taft High School
and the car that he remembers that night
resembles Brandon's car,
Do you recognize anyone from that night, officer?
- You know it was a long time ago, I don't remember
everything perfectly,
I do remember somebody telling me a funny story
and he looks familiar,
- Tim, were you there that night?
- No, no Tim wasn't there,
But the rest of us were all there,
- Mrs, Timmerman, Tim, thank you for staying,
I've asked Monica to stay as well
because this involves her too,
You know, Monica has been trying for a couple of weeks
to get me to give Tim a pass,
She's a big advocate of his,
I pushed back and I pushed back
because I wasn't convinced that I could trust him,
But Tim, I'm very impressed with you lately,
Your teachers tell me that you're attending class
on a much more regular basis,
You've taken that Jessup kid under your wing
and I'm very impressed with the initiative you've taken
of coming up with ideas for the winter formal,
Quite frankly I'm just depressed thinking
about playing the banjo again
at another faculty talent show,
I've decided to drop the impeachment hearing,
I'm sticking my neck out on this
so please don't compromise my trust,
- No sir, no way,
Thank you so much Dr, V,
(moderate pop music)
There she is,
Let's get started with the meeting everybody,
Jessup, go ahead and kill the welcome music,
I'm sorry, I think you're in my seat,
- Why can't you sit somewhere else?
- Jessup,
Okay guys can you do me a favor and stand up?
Great, thanks,
Be seated,
- So where do you think we should put the DJ?
I was thinking maybe in the back corner,
What are you doing?
- I need a break, I'm tired,
- We still have a lot of work to do,
- What do you have in here?
(slow pop music)
What is this?
- Book of Secrets, they're new,
- You can hear this?
- A little,
I can feel the vibrations,
I like the lyrics,
- It's cool,
Do you have anything else?
Maybe some Pearl Jam?
This isn't really my type of music,
- I love this song,
- I guess it's pretty good, if you're a girl,
What? - I thought we were
supposed to do some planning,
Can I ask you a question? - Sure,
- Why did you run for student body president?
- I don't know,
I just thought it would look good on my resume,
- Look good?
- Yeah, like for my college application,
- So you ran for president for your resume,
That sounds admirable,
- I don't know,
Let me just put it this way,
when you're a Timmerman, you have to have something,
I don't know, I guess I have politics,
- You wanna be a politician?
- Yeah, yeah, I wanna go to Yale,
- Then you should talk to my dad,
- Sure that's gonna go over well,
Probably have guys trying to get favors
from your dad all the time,
- No, - No?
- Not really,
- Can I ask you a question? - Yeah,
- Why did you run for president?
- Last year, it was the furthest thing from my mind,
I was just focused on school and swim team
and then a friend of mine said, Sydney I think
you'd make a really good president and I don't know,
I just, I thought about it and all the good I could do
and it's the best decision I ever made,
- Was that okay?
- Yeah, it was nice,
It was my first kiss,
- Really?
(uptempo pop music)
This looks really good,
We've done well,
(roaring)
Jessup,
- Hey Tim,
Ooh,
Do you think people will like it?
- I do, - Right on,
Oh shoot,
I've got some bad news,
- What? - I found out who's writing
Mackenzie's letter of recommendation
for Hope of America, - Who?
- It's the CEO of WordPerfect,
- You sure it's the CEO, it's not the VP?
- CEO, - Aw fetch,
- Do you have somebody to write yours yet?
(classical music playing)
- Hi, - Hi,
You look great, - Thank you,
You look good too,
I like your tie,
- Aw thanks,
This is my grandfather's tie,
He passed on,
I hope that doesn't freak you out,
- Oh I talked to my dad about your career aspirations,
- You did? - He said he'd talk to you,
- Oh thank you,
That's awesome,
Here, a mint,
Well share it,
- Okay, - A little appetizer,
- Thank you, Mitchell, - You're very welcome,
- So Tim, what are your plans after high school?
- I would love to become a lobbyist
and then maybe a senator,
I'm trying to get into Yale,
- Tim is applying for the Hope of America scholarship, dad,
- That's great, Tim,
- Yeah, paging for Senator Anderson
would be just an amazing opportunity,
These rolls are good, huh?
- Excuse me,
- He's cute,
(urinal flushing)
- How about those rolls?
Pretty good,
- Sydney tells me you need a letter of recommendation,
- Yeah, I do,
- To be honest, I don't feel comfortable writing a letter
for someone that I don't know,
That make sense?
- Yeah, yeah that makes total sense,
- Very good,
- Would you like another roll, Tim?
- Yes, that'd be great thank you,
Could you also pass the butter?
- It's right in front of you,
- Yes, yes,
(ominous music)
- I'll be right back,
(ominous music)
Go, go, go, go,
Hey thanks a lot,
How much do I owe you? - 20,
- Hey do you have 20 bucks I can borrow?
- You mind telling me what that charade was all about?
(sighing)
- Alright, it's a game called assassins,
Every year a couple hundred kids from our school
put $5 into a pot, everybody gets a name
and a toy pellet gun,
This is my gun,
The only rule is you can't shoot anybody on school premises,
But when you do shoot somebody,
you get the name that they had
and last person standing wins the pot,
- That is the greatest high school activity
I have ever heard of,
- Really? - It takes strategy,
ingenuity, it's good for bonding,
How much is in the pot?
- A thousand bones,
If I win, I'm gonna buy a scooter,
- I wish we had something like that
when I was in high school,
How many students are left?
- Three, I think,
- And who was that boy in the restaurant?
- Ross Thompson, wins every year,
- Do you think you could beat him?
- I don't know,
He's kind of a legend,
But before hand, I have to beat Kyle Stratton
and whoever he's got but I think he's got Toby Cranny,
- What's Kyle's story?
- Hermit, never leaves his house,
- Let me see the pistol,
(sighing)
Tim, how would you feel about me tagging along with you?
(uptempo rock music)
(door bell ringing)
(uptempo rock music)
- I'm Kyle Stratton, - Oh great,
(uptempo rock music)
(door bell ringing)
- I'm looking for Toby Cranny,
- Hey Toby,
- Did you see his face?
- Oh your TCBY idea was brilliant,
- Thank you,
How did you know that cop?
- It's a long story,
- So what's our plan to get Ross Thompson?
- You know what?
I think I gotta get Ross Thompson myself,
- I respect that,
When's your Hope of America application due?
- Friday, why?
- That's good cause that'll give me just enough time
to write you a letter of recommendation,
(playing instrumental music)
- Was Tim involved with you in the deer prank?
- What are you talking about?
- Oh come on Brandon, everybody knows,
- I gotta get back to practice,
- Was he or was he not?
- I don't wanna talk about it right now, okay?
I gotta go,
(exclaiming in frustration)
(both breathing heavy)
- I've always admired how fun you are,
- Oh yeah? - Always,
- Well you know, I do my best,
- Like I heard what you guys did to Taft High
and I thought it was so funny and cool,
- Yeah that was the funniest and the coolest,
- I can't believe you got Tim to go along with you,
- Go along, no that was Tim's idea,
- No, - Mm hmm
What? - It's just so funny,
- Oh, - Okay give me some more,
- Okay,
- Alright smile big,
(moderate pop music)
(clapping and cheering)
- Look at the floral patterns and the taupe
and the sweet dude with two dates,
Rad, bro,
Yeah okay, guy, yeah okay,
Keep going,
Did you guys see that white suit?
Right crisp,
- Aw man it's Brett and Tina,
You guys look good,
Thanks for the cans,
- Hey there mister,
- Monica, I've been looking for you everywhere,
- Really? - Do you think you could fill
in for us for a little bit?
- Yeah, sure,
- Thanks, Monica,
- Okay, yeah, purple dress and a white belt,
(chanting purple dress and a white belt)
(guys catcalling)
- Are you nervous?
- No, - Yes you are,
- Yeah I am, just a little bit,
You know what?
I got you something,
- You did?
- Just this,
You like it? - It's cute,
- Yeah?
Can I put it on you? - Yeah,
(moderate instrumental music)
- Hello everyone,
Everyone having fun tonight?
(cheering and clapping)
It has been a great dance tonight, hasn't it?
that we've set a record tonight with the amount of cans
raised for the homeless shelter,
(clapping and cheering)
Okay now it's time to announce the finalists
for the Hope of America award,
For Mount Vista High School,
Robert Wood,
(clapping and cheering)
MacKenzie Miller,
(clapping and cheering)
and Tim Timmerman,
(clapping and cheering)
Both Brandon and Garrett said he wasn't there,
- That's not what Garrett told me,
- We've already dealt with the issue,
- It's not fair,
- Look MacKenzie, I know it was hard
losing to Tim in the election,
but my advice to you is to let it go,
You'll be a lot happier,
- Tell me what Garrett said again,
Such a ham,
It's so crazy that he's a finalist for the Hope of America,
- I know,
I'm so proud of him,
- Yeah, same,
Yet none of us thought he could do it,
He's been on probation for the last month,
- Did you say probation? - Yeah,
Oh you didn't know that?
- No, - Yeah, for the deer prank,
Oh come on you had to have heard about that,
- No, - Yes, he talked our principal
into reinstating him to put on this whole dance,
- He did,
- You know Tim,
Tim just loves to weasel his way
to get people to do what he wants,
Not that that's a bad thing,
- What do you mean?
- He probably sweet talked someone into writing
that letter of recommendation for Hope of America,
Hats off,
- Excuse me,
- Sydney, check it out,
Someone tried to donate cat food,
- Is it true? - What?
- About the deer prank?
- Okay just let me explain,
- Congratulations on the Hope of America nomination,
You got what you wanted,
- Got what?
- Ryan will you give me a ride home,
- Sydney, - Don't talk to me,
- Sydney,
- Tim, congratulations,
- Did you say something to Sydney?
- She's really upset with me right now,
- That's high school girls for you,
- Nothing, we just had a little girl talk,
- Stop, - What?
- What did you say?
- I just told her that how great it was
that her dad wrote the letter for you,
I mean what, you didn't want me to do that?
Isn't that why you're hanging out with her, right?
- I can't believe this,
- Oh come on, don't be mad at me,
No, no, no, wait, wait, wait,
Let's just talk about this, figure things out,
- There is nothing to talk about,
- Oh right so this is what you do for people
who bend over backwards for you?
- Tim baby, she's not there,
- I've already left five messages,
You think six is too much?
- I'm not sure,
I'm so sorry,
- Well thanks, Charnelle,
- Sweetie, he left another message,
You sure you don't wanna just call him back?
Can you just tell me what's going on?
- No, I'll be fine mom,
It's okay,
- Hey man, congrats on the nomination,
You deserve it,
- Let's start with the first question,
Will you please give us an example
of a time you showed integrity?
(mellow instrumental music)
- Again the swim meet is this Saturday
and if you do not have your IDs, you will have to pay,
That's it for today-
- MacKenzie, wait a minute,
Tim, do you have anything?
- Yeah,
Hi, this is Tim Timmerman, your student body president,
I have something I need to say today,
It's very personal and it's gonna be very difficult,
Last year, when you guys elected me to be your president
you were basically saying, we trust you
to respect our honesty and integrity,
I was supposed to have lived my life
so that if a teacher or administrator
would look at my actions, they could say
there is someone who represents the greatness
of a rising generation,
I have not lived up to those ideals,
I have done many selfish acts
with no regard to the impact it would have on others
including those closest to me,
I am responsible for the vandalism at Taft High
and I take full responsibility,
But that's not the only thing that I have done,
I have done many other things that warrant impeachment,
So at this time, I'm formally announcing
my resignation as president and withdrawing
from the Hope of America running,
MacKenzie will now be acting president,
She probably deserves it anyway,
(somber instrumental music)
(slow saxophone music)
Hey President Clinton,
- Hey there, - Hey,
- Proud of you today, - Yeah?
- Took a lot of cojones, - Thanks,
- Hey, look at it this way, it could've been worse,
Better to resign than be impeached,
- Yeah, I guess,
I just feel bad about Sydney,
- Girls, - Any advice?
- Just that time heals all wounds,
Time heals all wounds, alright,
Take care, Tim,
- Take care, Bill,
(singing America the Beautiful)
(applauding)
a very difficult decision with two outstanding candidates,
But we were able to come to a consensus
so without any further ado,
Winner of the 1994-95 Hope of America award
is Robert Wood,
(cheers and applause)
- I think it was my letter of recommendation,
I got a Nobel prize winner in economics to write it,
- Who was it? - Jan Jorgenson from Stanford,
- Hey Robert,
Congratulations, - Thanks Tim,
Sorry you couldn't be on stage with us,
(piano playing Auld Lang Syne)
- So how are things with you and Sydney?
- It's over, - No way,
When does she move to DC?
- Today, I think,
- Bummer man,
- Yo, where you guys going?
- El Azteca,
- Nice, hop in,
- I'm down, - Cool,
- Let's get some freaking tunes going, braj,
- Sure, any requests?
- Pearl Jam,
- Pearl Jam it is,
Will you find my disc man please?
Alright guys it's a no go on the Pearl Jam,
How about a little radio?
(slow ballad playing)
- Ugh dude, change the station,
This is the crap my sister listens to,
(Book of Secrets playing)
- Wait Garrett, change of plans,
I need you to take me someplace,
- Like right now?
- Right now,
(breaks squealing)
Alright meet me back here in an hour,
Oh wait, get me a carne asada burrito,
- Our ride is here sweetie,
Are you almost ready?
I have a couple more things, - Okay,
(uptempo instrumental music)
- You guys are late,
- Sorry braj, Rylie had another bout with the nachos grande,
(uptempo instrumental music)
- Thank you, Dwayne,
- Oh I forgot my sweater, I'll be right back,
- Okay, sweetheart,
- Step on it,
- I'm giving her all she's got, Tim,
(truck beeping)
- [Tim] You've gotta be kidding me,
- [Garrett] Tell him we're in a hurry, braj,
- Excuse me sir, we appreciate
that you're keeping all the roads safe for us
but we're sort of in an emergency situation here,
Yeah, cool thanks,
- You want a bite?
(Book of Secrets playing)
- Sydney wait,
Sydney please,
Come on I need to tell you something,
- Dwayne, I'm ready to go,
- I know you don't wanna talk to me,
Okay, so I'm not gonna say anything,
- What's this?
- My acceptance letter to U of U,
- I thought you wanted to go to Yale,
- I never had a chance,
To be honest I never had a chance
of getting into University of Utah without you,
You made me wanna be better,
I got in because of you,
(Book of Secrets playing)
- I thought this wasn't your type of music,
- Tim!
(dramatic music playing)
(moderate pop music)
- So Brandon, what do you think you're gonna major in?
- Probably mathematics,
What about you?
- I'm thinking pre med,
So Tim, has the U of U made you think
about anything other than politics?
- Well I heard something interesting the other day,
Apparently Bill Clinton did not do his undergrad
at an Ivy League school,
He went to Georgetown,
Hey also there's no assassins league here
at the University of Utah,
I think we gotta start one,
Will you hold these one second?
Hi, - Hi,
- Tim Timmerman, freshman council,
(uptempo pop music)
- Is everybody having fun tonight?
(cheering and applauding)
I wanna welcome to the stage
the organizer of tonight's dance
and our student body president, Jessup Jacobs,
(cheering and applauding)
- Hey everybody,
Let's get our groove on,
(salsa music playing)
