If this show is going to be always Coca-Cola, I'm going to be sick. For real.
Close-up on Diet Dawson. He smiles and looks around. We pass by fields of boys playing Frisbee with dogs running around. I didn't know you could have a dog at prep school. As their pickup pulls into the school's yard, Diet Dawson's Mean Scruffy Dad says, "What do you want, an escort?" Diet Dawson gets ready to leave. His mom is all teary-eyed, but still gives the stink-eye to the Bad Dad, so we know that Bad Dad's all mean and cruel. She tells DD that she's very proud of him. Bad Dad declares that they are "out of here," and leans in and says, "You'd better hope this works out for ya." Somehow, he's the only person with a Southern accent. I guess you know dads are mean if they sound like they're from Raliegh, not Rawley. But you say the names the same way, so it was confusing me until I checked my Entertainment Weekly. Oh, and for those of you who were wondering? EW gave it a C+. DD's mom then gives him a look like, "I'm going to be beaten later. Try not to think about that while you're getting your first kiss." They drive off.
Pan down to Red Shirt cuddling his mountain bike. He is. I don't know. Just sitting there waiting for him as the truck pulls away. He introduces himself as Scout Calhoun. DD has a name too: Will Krudski. Poor guy. Scout informs Will, "Hey, we're roommates!" You'd think that Will would remember that his roommate has the name Scout, but he's totally surprised. Scout walks Will into the school. Small talk ensues.
Steel drum plays the music from True Romance as we pan up to what looks like the lead singer of the Verve looking through a camera with a zoom lens. He's snapping photographs of the Rawley Academy for Girls. We get to see the pictures he takes. He then spots someone on a motorcycle riding into Rawley. Verve is very complimentary of the bike, but then zooms in on the rider taking off a helmet. The rider is clearly a girl, but we aren't supposed to know that yet. For now, she's "Just One of the Guys." We'll call her Terri. Verve snaps a photograph of Terri, for some reason.
