September 1st, 1989. Dear Diary: I believe I'm a good person. |
| [00:06.01] |
Ya know, I think there's good in everyone, but here we are first day of senior year. |
| [00:12.30] |
And uh...I look around at all these kids I've known all my life and I ask myself: What happened? |
| [00:17.68] |
KIDS: |
| [00:17.85] |
Freak! Slut! Burnout! Bug-eyes! Poser! Lard-ass! |
| [00:22.78] |
VERONICA: |
| [00:22.88] |
We were so tiny, happy and shiny, playing tag and getting chased. |
| [00:27.70] |
KIDS: |
| [00:27.91] |
Freak! Slut! Loser! Shortbus! |
| [00:30.55] |
VERONICA: |
| [00:30.75] |
Singing and clapping, |
| [00:31.84] |
laughing and napping, |
| [00:33.24] |
baking cookies, eating paste. |
| [00:35.80] |
KIDS: |
| [00:35.83] |
Bull-dyke! Stuck-up! Hunchback! |
| [00:38.33] |
VERONICA: |
| [00:38.54] |
Then we got bigger. |
| [00:39.59] |
That was the trigger, |
| [00:41.03] |
Like the Huns invading Rome - |
| [00:44.58] |
Oh sorry! |
| [00:46.07] |
Welcome to my school, |
| [00:47.07] |
This ain't no high school: |
| [00:48.67] |
This is the Thunderdome. |
| [00:50.22] |
Hold your breath |
| [00:51.37] |
and count the days, |
| [00:52.66] |
we're graduating soon. |
| [00:53.87] |
KIDS: |
| [00:54.07] |
White trash! |
| [00:55.05] |
VERONICA: |
| [00:55.07] |
College will be paradise |
| [00:57.7] |
If I'm not dead by June! |
| [01:01.11] |
But I know, I know, life can be beautiful. |
| [01:06.50] |
I pray, I pray for a better way. |
| [01:11.28] |
If we changed back then, |
| [01:13.59] |
we could change again. |
| [01:16.23] |
We can be beautiful... |
| [01:19.00] |
(A PREPPY STUD knocks a HIPSTER DORK to the floor.) |
| [01:19.14]:HIPSTER DORK [Spoken] |
: |
| [01:20.20] |
Ow! |
| [01:20.89] |
VERONICA: |
| [01:20.94] |
Just not today. |
| [01:22.75] |
Hey, are you okay? |
| [01:24.02] |
Get away, nerd. |
| [01:25.51] |
Oh...Okay |
| [01:26.51] |
Freak! Slut! Cripple! Homo! Homo! Homo! |
| [01:31.32] |
VERONICA: |
| [01:31.63] |
Things will get better |
| [01:33.15] |
soon as my letter |
| [01:34.59] |
comes from Harvard, Duke, or Brown. |
| [01:37.04] |
Wake from this coma, |
| [01:38.35] |
take my diploma, |
| [01:39.69] |
then I can blow this town. |
| [01:41.57] |
Dream of my ivy-covered walls |
| [01:43.76] |
and smoky French cafes... |
| [01:45.10] |
(VERONICA jostles RAM SWEENEY.) |
| [01:45.20]:RAM [Spoken] |
: |
| [01:45.40] |
Watch it! |
| [01:46.81] |
VERONICA: |
| [01:46.90] |
Fight the urge to strike a match and send this dump ablaze! |
| [01:52.05] |
(RAM upends VERONICA'S lunch tray.) |
| [01:52.09] |
RAM: |
| [01:52.15] |
Ooooops. |
| [01:54.30] |
Ram Sweeney. Third year as linebacker. |
| [01:56.00] |
And eighth year of smacking lunch trays and BEING A HUGE DICK. |
| [02:00.08] |
RAM: |
| [02:00.13] |
What did you say to me skank? |
| [02:01.94] |
VERONICA: |
| [02:02.09] |
... Nothing. |
| [02:04.03] |
VERONICA & KIDS: |
| [02:04.18] |
But I know, I know, I know... |
| [02:07.06] |
Life can be beautiful. |
| [02:09.36] |
I pray, I pray, I pray |
| [02:12.71] |
For a better way. |
| [02:14.05] |
We were kind before; |
| [02:16.45] |
we can be kind once more. |
| [02:19.14] |
We can be beautiful... |
| [02:22.08] |
(MARTHA approaches.) |
| [02:23.04] |
VERONICA: |
| [02:23.24] |
Agh!... Hey Martha. |
| [02:24.53] |
MARTHA: |
| [02:24.60] |
Hey. |
| [02:26.17] |
(MARTHA helps VERONICA pick up her tray.) |
| [02:26.47] |
VERONICA: |
| [02:26.57] |
Martha Dunnstock. My best friend since diapers. |
| [02:30.02] |
MARTHA: |
| [02:30.15] |
We on for movie night? |
| [02:31.06] |
VERONICA: |
| [02:31.28] |
Yeah, you're on Jiffy Pop detail. |
| [02:33.58] |
MARTHA: |
| [02:33.65] |
I rented "The Princess Bride." |
| [02:36.20] |
VERONICA: |
| [02:36.40] |
Again? Don't you have it memorized by now? |
| [02:39.87] |
MARTHA: |
| [02:40.02] |
What can I say? I'm a sucker for a happy ending. |
| [02:43.00] |
KURT: |
| [02:43.06] |
Martha Dumptruck! Wide load! Honnnnnk! |
| [02:47.01] |
(KURT KELLY knocks the tray from MARTHA'S hands.) |
| [02:47.76] |
VERONICA: |
| [02:47.86] |
Kurt Kelly. Quarterback. He is the smartest guy on the football team. |
| [02:52.59] |
Which is kind of like being the tallest dwarf. |
| [02:57.03] |
(Furious, to KURT) Hey! Pick that up right now! |
| [02:59.03] |
KURT: |
| [02:59.14] |
I'm sorry, are you actually talking to me? |
| [03:01.07] |
VERONICA: |
| [03:01.21] |
Yes, I am. I wanna know what gives you the right to pick on my friend. |
| [03:04.57] |
You're a high school has-been waiting to happen. A future gas station attendant. |
| [03:09.50] |
KURT: |
| [03:09.79] |
... You have a zit right there... |
| [03:11.95] |
VERONICA & KIDS: |

(Variously) |
| [03:14.61] |
Dear diary: why.... |
| [03:16.50] |
Why do they hate me? |
| [03:17.65] |
Why don't I fight back? |
| [03:18.85] |
Why do I act like such a creep? (VERONICA: Why....) |
| [03:20.95] |
Why won't he date me? |
| [03:22.34] |
Why did I hit him? |
| [03:23.70] |
Why do I cry myself to sleep? (VERONICA: Why....) |
| [03:25.96] |
Somebody hug me! |
| [03:27.40] |
Somebody fix me! |
| [03:28.61] |
Somebody save me! |
| [03:30.03] |
Send me a sign, God! |
| [03:31.37] |
Give me some hope here! |
| [03:32.51] |
Something to live for! |

(The three HEATHERS enter.) |

| [03:53.31] |
Ah!... Heather, Heather, and Heather! |
| [04:00.00] |
VERONICA: |
| [04:00.15] |
Then there's the Heathers. They float above it all. |
| [04:02.80] |
KIDS: |
| [04:03.10] |
(Repeating.) I love Heather, Heather, and Heather. |
| [04:09.73] |
VERONICA: |
| [04:09.93] |
Heather McNamara. Head cheerleader. Her dad's loaded - he sells engagement rings. |
| [04:17.38] |
Heather Duke. Runs the yearbook. No discernible personality, but her mom did pay for implants. |
| [04:24.59] |
And Heather Chandler. The Almighty. |
| [04:28.59] |
She is a mythic bitch. They are solid Teflon - never bothered, never harassed. |
| [04:37.23] |
I would give anything to be like that. |
| [04:41.32] |
HIPSTER DORK: |
| [04:41.42] |
I'd like to be their boyfriend. |
| [04:43.00] |
KIDS: |
| [04:43.12] |
That would be beautiful... |
| [04:45.01] |
STONER CHICK: |
| [04:45.22] |
If I sat at their table, guys would notice me. |
| [04:48.11] |
KIDS: |
| [04:48.16] |
So beautiful... |
| [04:50.35] |
MARTHA: |

I'd like them to be nicer. |
| [04:52.31] |

That would be beautiful... |

BELEAGUERED GEEK: |
| [04:54.87] |
I'd like to kidnap a Heather and photograph her naked in an abandoned warehouse |
| [04:58.06] |
and leave her tied up for the rats! |
| [05:00.57] |
(VERONICA enters the girls' bathroom. |
| [05:02.46] |
HEATHER CHANDLER and MCNAMARA are watching HEATHER DUKE vomit into a toilet.) |
| [05:05.02] |
HEATHER CHANDLER: |
| [05:05.34] |
Grow up, Heather. Bulimia is so '87. |
| [05:07.94] |
HEATHER MCNAMARA: |
| [05:08.08] |
Maybe you should see a doctor, Heather. |
| [05:09.49] |
HEATHER DUKE: |
| [05:09.53] |
Yeah, Heather. Maybe I should. |
| [05:11.58] |
MS. FLEMING: |
| [05:11.79] |
Ah, Heather and Heather. |
| [05:13.59] |
(HEATHER DUKE vomits.) |
| [05:15.08] |
... and Heather. Perhaps you didn't hear the bell over all the vomiting. You're late for class. |
| [05:20.56] |
(VERONICA scribbles on a piece of paper.) |
| [05:20.81] |
HEATHER CHANDLER: |
| [05:20.96] |
Heather wasn't feeling well. We're helping her. |
| [05:24.00] |
MS. FLEMING: |
| [05:24.19] |
Not without a hall pass you're not. A week's detention. |
| [05:26.89] |
VERONICA: |
| [05:27.04] |
Actually, Ms. Fleming, all four of us are out on a hall pass. Yearbook committee. |
| [05:32.87] |
MS. FLEMING: |
| [05:32.98] |
... I see you're all listed. Hurry up and get where you're going. |
| [05:39.52] |
HEATHER CHANDLER: |
| [05:39.56] |
This is an excellent forgery. Who are you? |
| [05:43.01] |
VERONICA: |
| [05:43.17] |
Veronica Sawyer. I crave a boon. |
| [05:46.00] |
HEATHER CHANDLER: |
| [05:46.12] |
What boon? |
| [05:48.50] |
VERONICA: |
| [05:48.64] |
Let me sit at your table at lunch. Just once. No talking necessary. |
| [05:52.52] |
If people think you guys tolerate me, they'll leave me alone.... |
| [05:55.07] |
Before you answer, I also do report cards, permission slips and absence notes. |
| [05:59.60] |
HEATHER DUKE: |
| [05:59.72] |
How about prescriptions? |
| [06:00.71] |
HEATHER CHANDLER: |
| [06:00.86] |
Shut up, Heather. |
| [06:01.30] |
HEATHER DUKE: |
| [06:01.31] |
Sorry, Heather. |
| [06:02.66] |
(HEATHER CHANDLER inspects VERONICA'S face.) |
| [06:02.82] |
HEATHER CHANDLER: |
| [06:03.02] |
For a greasy little nobody, you do have good bone structure. |
| [06:06.80] |
HEATHER MCNAMARA: |
| [06:06.96] |
And a symmetrical face. If I took a meat cleaver down the center of your skull, |
| [06:11.30] |
I'd have matching halves. That's very important. |
| [06:13.99] |
HEATHER DUKE: |
| [06:14.03] |
Of course, you could stand to lose a few pounds. |
| [06:16.87] |
HEATHER CHANDLER: |
| [06:16.88] |
And ya know, ya know, ya know? |
| [06:19.97] |
This could be beautiful. |
| [06:22.21] |
Mascara, maybe some lip gloss, |
| [06:24.82] |
and we're on our way. |
| [06:26.61] |
Get this girl some blush; |
| [06:28.35] |
And Heather, I need your brush. |
| [06:30.64] |
Let's make her beautiful. |
| [06:32.36] |
HEATHER MCNAMARA: |
| [06:32.48] |
Let's make her beautiful... |
| [06:34.02] |
HEATHER DUKE: |
| [06:34.08] |
Let's make her beautiful... |
| [06:35.18] |
HEATHER CHANDLER: |
| [06:35.22] |
Make her beautiful... |
| [06:38.56] |
Okay? |

VERONICA: |

Okay! |

Who could survive this? |

I can't escape this! |

I think I'm dying! |

MS. FLEMING: |

You hope, you dream, you pray, |

Ask me how it feels |

My God, it's beautiful! |
