Our Town

Cue the car commercial with the same Nick Drake song. "Pink"? Is that what it's called? I'm so tired of this person and I really didn't know anything about him. Poor guy. ["It's okay to hate him. He's deceased." -- Wing Chun] I hate him because of Coca-Cola. I've never hated anyone over Coke before. The driver of the car looks a lot like Verve.

Bella walks into Scout's dorm room. Scout holds his face so we know he's really hurt. Bella and Scout have pointless lines about whether or not Will must still be at the party. Bella immediately starts nursing Scout's wounds. Wait. Yes. I did have this fantasy when I was thirteen and in love with a boy who didn't know I existed. He would end up punching out some creepy boy in the hall who tried to lift my skirt, and I'd take him back to his house while his parents were at work, and as I'd gingerly try to wipe the blood off his chin, he'd grab my wrist and kiss me passionately. But I was thirteen. I'm the one with the excuse. These writers aren't. Scout asks if Bella hangs out with Sean. She says he's a friend. "What, you're gonna tell me who to hang out with now, is that it?" Nice one, Bella. Now try saying it without your hand in his crotch. Means a little more. Scout asks how good a friend Sean is. "Ow," he says. "Sting?" she asks. "Good." Man. Man! This show is so bad. "What is it with guys and fighting anyway?" Bella asks the world's most timeless question. "It's like a stigma; I mean, you get hurt unless you do more damage or something. It's ridiculous." Wuh? Bella says that Scout overreacted. Scout says that Sean thought he was moving in on her. Bella says she's known Sean since they were in kindergarten and that she's seen him in his Underoos. They look at each other for a while, but don't kiss. "There's better out there, that's all I'm saying," Scout says. "Is it?" Stare. Stare. Slow nod. Stare. "Yeah." Stare. Stare. Kind of tears. Stare. Long stare. Ugh. End the scene. Please end the scene. Scout offers to walk her home. "Please. It's not like the first time I've been in a guy's dorm after hours." Nice. And what a waste of the trailer line they've been using all week. "Sarcasm, Scout. Look it up." She gets off the bed.

I take two Excedrin Migraine.
