Outside the bowling alley. I smell a rumble! The cops walk up. Debbie asks if Horvath is checking out the competition. Horvath makes some creepy comment about liking what he's checking out. Then he says hello to Vic to let us know he's down with the gays. Then why the competition? Michael cautiously watches his mother flirt with Horvath. Debbie says she can't really kiss Horvath since Michael's around. Horvath asks if they can go out for a drink. Debbie says she has to hang with her friends because they're strategizing for the game. Horvath says he won't keep her any longer, considering what an expert she is in games. "Pardon?" she asks. Horvath is tired of Debbie rejecting his advances over and over again. "Forget it," he says. He says he knows how to read people, and she's coming through loud and clear. "Well, I wish you were," she says. Horvath says she keeps shooting him down. He says if it wasn't this, she'd be stuffing envelopes for P-FLAG or marching for gay rights or some other distraction that would keep her from getting real and really getting close to Horvath. "That's bullshit," Debbie says. "You don't even know me." "Who do we have to thank for that?" he asks her. He walks away. Aw. Stranded at the bowling alley. Branded a fool. What will they say Monday at school?
Horvie!
Can't you see?
I'm a dumb Debbie!
You're a cop
I make you stop
'Cause Ben has HIV.And Michael's grown!
All alone
I sit and wonder
Why, yie, yie, fucking why?
You like me?
Oh, Horvie.
