The Weekenders (2000) s02e05 Episode Script

1
Hey, it's Tino.
Oh no no, over here, over here,
behind the trash.
Alright, here's what's up.
I've been invited to a costume
party by Brie and Colby.
Yeah, the cool kids.
If you don't believe me, just check out
this instant replay.
Hey, blonde kid.
We wanna invite you to a costume party.
Yeah, but just you.
We're not inviting your friends.
Here's a flyer, Sunday night.
Costume, be there.
Hey.
Obviously, I can't tell Carver,
Lor, and Tish about this.
It'd hurt their feelings if they knew
I'm cooler than them.
Oh, wait, it's not safe to talk here.
Come on.
In here.
Okay, so I gotta put a costume together
without the guys noticing what I'm doing.
Normally that'd be easy.
But last weekend, we
all had family stuff to do,
so we swore we'd spend
this whole weekend together.
I'm gonna have to sneak off
and find a costume, somehow.
What are you guys doing here?
Well, we couldn't find you after school,
so we came looking for ya.
Oh, well, I just came home
to put on my new shirt.
That's an old shirt.
No, it just looks like one of my old
shirts.
It's got like stains and junk.
That's very in right now.
No, it isn't.
I know what's in with shirts,
and that is not it.
Enough with the shirt!
Why are you all so obsessed with my shirt?
Let's talk about someone else's shirt for
a while, huh?
Or better yet, let's not talk
about shirts ever again!
So, who wants to go to the mall?
Bathroom break, be right back.
Can I have your burger?
Knock yourself out.
Alien, alligator, angel, ant,
anteater
Tish.
Tish!?
I'm not here.
This isn't me.
I'm not looking for a costume.
Neither am I.
Wait, a costume?
Hey, you got invited to the party,
too?
You got invited?
Brie and Colby said they
didn't invite my friends.
Well, I guess they just
meant Lor and Carver.
Right.
Hey, we can help each other find costumes.
Sure.
Oh, but we can't let Lor and Carver know.
Of course not, it would make them feel
bad.
Hey, guys!
Ahhh!!!!
what would make us feel bad?
If you knew..
the outrageous prices
they charge here.
Out.. rageous!
I mean, look at this wig.
They want 20 bucks for this.
What do you want a clown wig, T?
Well, my cousin in Kentucky he's been
collecting clown wigs ever since his
father was injured in
a freak circus accident.
I just thought I'd pick
him up one, and
Tish came along to help me
pick out the best color.
Pick out best.
You have a cousin in Kentucky?
Here you are, and I'll have you know $20
is an outrageous price for this item.
But it only costs nine doll --
Take your filthy money!
And I had to give the guy 20 bucks.
So I was wondering if I could maybe get an
advance on my allowance?
It's nice that you don't want to hurt
Lor and Carver's feelings, but
I've found that it usually
means trouble anytime you have
to make up a story involving
a freak circus accident.
Don't worry, I've got it totally under
control.
Honey, I think it's a
bad idea to lie to your
friends, no matter how
good your intentions are.
I'm not so much lying to them as just not
telling them the truth.
Okay, don't criticize my logic, and I
won't complain about your kelp ravioli.
Deal.
There's a place called
Tony's Discount Costumporium.
You do the costume shopping, and I'll
cover for you if they notice you're gone.
Done!
A popular dessert in
many Middle Eastern countries.
There are as many Halva recipes
as there are Halva makers.
But they all agree on one thing.
There's no such thing as too sweet.
Dude, this stuff's like sticking a sugar
fire hose in your mouth.
Yeah, gosh, it's so sweet.
It's making Tish kinda sick.
Oh, yeah, bathroom.
Kinda sick.
Tony knows what you need, my friend.
A legionnaire's breastplate,
and maybe a feather boa!
These are very nice on you.
I was thinking of going as Isadora Duncan.
You know what is very nice on you,
my friend?
A legionnaire breastplate, and a feather boa!
You don't have anything else, do ya?
I have my dignity.
Okay, where's Tish anyway?
It's been like half an hour.
I think we should go check up on her.
No, no, no, she's fine.
She just went over to the bathrooms in the
Arboretum.
There's no bathrooms in the Arboretum.
They just built some.
They're real, nice ones.
Maybe we should go check 'em out.
No!
You can't go in.
They're special exclusive bathrooms.
Tish can go in because she's a member.
Why would Tish just
Oh, Tish, Tish, Tish.
All you talk about is Tish.
What about me, huh?
Don't you care about me?
Am I nothing to you?
Hey guys, sorry I was gone so long.
I, uh
went to get a soda!
Wait, I thought you said she
Oh, Tish!
Oh, you were talking about Tish?
I thought you said..
Taj.
Taj?
Yeah, you know, Taj.
In homeroom, she sits way
in the back, has a mole,
wears a shirt, with a thing on
it, and the stuff in her hair
Soo..
who wants more halva?
Oh, man.
I thought today would never end.
I've never made up so
many excuses in my life.
I got lots of stuff,
especially at that thrift store
by the arcade, and the
souvenir place on the beach.
Let's see here, uh, beach ball, umbrella, rubber
chicken, bag full of ping pong balls?
Um, how is this a costume?
Granted, we'll have to get the little
creative.
Michelangelo couldn't get this creative.
Hey, Lor, where are all
your brothers anyway?
Mm, Jake's at highlight practice,
and Neil's at football practice,
and Bill's at lacr --
Short version, please?
Um, they're at practice?
Thank you.
Okay, idea.
Lord's brothers have a ton of old busted
sports equipment in the garage.
Right.
Good costume material.
I'm on it.
Well, I guess I'll just go to the
bathroom.
Surprisingly, the law no longer requires
that you announce it to everyone.
Hey, I'm going to get one of those
inflatable pool chairs from the garage.
Anyone want anything?
Yes!
I mean, no!
I mean, let me get it for you.
I can?
No!
I'll do it.
I'm shorter than you are,
so I'll waste less oxygen.
Uh-huh.
Seriously, don't use that pool chair.
Medical experts have
determined that inflatable
things may be
dangerous to your health.
Here we go, LOR!
We're about to enter the garage,
LOR.
What's up with you?
Are you, like, trying to hide somethin'?
I can explain.
Nothing.
I can explain nothing, but why bother?
'Cause it's nothing.
Yeah.
I really think you should
just tell Lor and Carver the truth~
No, no, no.
It's much easier this way.
and Jamie's at hockey practice,
and Danny's at rugby practice
Sorry, I took so long.
It's okay.
Tino told us everything.
Tino, you
That's right!
I told them about your
mysterious secret illness.
Mysterious secret illness?
Right.
The mysterious illness from your parents'
homeland.
I don't blame you for not telling us,
Tish.
It's the most embarrassing
thing I've ever heard!
I had to tell them something.
Oh, man.
What a pile of junk.
It's okay.
We're smart and resourceful.
I'm sure we can make great costumes out of
this stuff.
We stink.
Yepp!
What are you going to say when people ask
you what you're supposed to be?
Well, I'm supposed to be
in costume.
We stink.
Ye-eeepp.
Well, this is the place.
Okay.
Here we go.
We're not here.
This isn't us.
We're not in costume.
This isn't us, either.
What party?
We don't know anything about a party.
Wait a second.
You guys got invited, too?
Yeah.
But Brie and Colby told us
they didn't invite you.
Hey.
Why are you guys in costume?
What?
I told you they'd fall for the costume
thing.
Kewl.
You guys think you're so cool.
But you're pathetic.
You know that?
Just pathetic.
So
Does this mean we're
not going to the party?
Just checkin'!
If you guys had just told
us you were invited,
we could have let you know
it wasn't a costume party.
Hey, you didn't tell us, either.
We didn't want you to feel bad because
we're cooler than you.
From now on, let's just be honest with
each other all the time.
Even if it might hurt someone's feelings a
little, okay?
Okay.
Sounds good.
You got it.
I don't like your pants.
Yeah.
It might take a little
practice to learn exactly
when to be honest and
when to keep your mouth shut.
What if it helps us avoid
showing up in stupid
costumes and being laughed
at by rooms full of kids?
I say it's worth it.
That was a joke about the pants,
man.
Sure it was, Carver.
Okay.
Later days!
No, really.
