Weird Science s02e10 Episode Script

Mm-hmm! That was so good.
I could live on chocolate.
Chocolate brownies.
Chocolate ice cream with those chocolate chunks.
Double chocolate fudge cake covered with chocolate sauce.
- Is she okay? - Chocolate fix.
Give her room.
- Hello, Wyatt.
- Miss Wellman, hi.
- I really enjoyed class today.
- Hmm.
Who's that? Rhonda Wellman, Wyatt's english teacher.
- He's got an obsession.
- I'm not obsessed.
I just think about her all the time.
Write notes to her I never send and follow her home now and them.
- She seems uptight.
- But I bet she was first in her class at librarian school.
Go ahead, laugh.
She's really very warm and sensitive.
And you should see the way she deconstructs melville.
You're getting me all hot.
Wait a minute.
See that girl over there? I know her.
That's Julia what's-her-name Putnam.
We went to summer camp together eight years ago.
I had a big crush on her.
Man, she looks good.
Julia? Remember me? Gary Wallace from Camp Hi-de-ho.
Gary Wallace? Oh, my God! How are you? This is bizarre.
Was thinking about camp the other day.
This is strange running into each other.
You're looking great.
Oh, thanks.
You are too.
You always were the cutest kid at camp.
- I was cute? - Oh, yeah.
I guess it's okay to tell you this now but when we were going to camp I had the biggest crush on you.
Too bad you didn't try harder.
- Hi, honey.
- Hi.
- Jeremy Scanlon? - Do I know you? - Hey, you remember Gary Wallace.
- From Camp Hackamack! - Hi-de-ho.
- Gary, what's up? This is so weird because we were talking about camp the other day.
I'm surprised you recognize me without you fist in my face.
I'm sorry about that.
- I was a real jerk back then.
- [ Beeping .]
I'm going to be late for student council.
It was great seeing you.
Have a fine day.
- I'll get the car.
- Okay.
- You two are going together? - Since eighth grade.
What can I say? I'm a sucker for quarterbacks.
- He's a quarterback? - And class president, editor of the paper honor roll-- the whole bit.
So what are you doing these days? I passed my geography quiz.
[ Moaning .]
This is your own fault.
Next time, you'll think twice before scarfing 16 slices of chocolate cake.
dropped your fork.
[ Belches .]
All better.
I can't believe she's going out with Scanlon.
I mean did you hear him? "You look great, Gary.
" "Good seeing you, Gary.
" Yeah, what a jerk.
Good thing he left before he bought you lunch.
What did Scanlon do to you that was so terrible? He sent me the note.
Not the note.
[ Thunder .]
- Very funny.
- Sorry, Gary.
Tell us about the note.
All summer I was madly in love with Julia.
And then one day, I get this note from her.
Or so I thought.
And the note said meet her but the big tree.
I go there thinking this is my big chance.
- But it's a trap.
- Scanlon set you up.
I spent the night tied up to a tree wearing - nothing but a sock.
- A sock? I was humiliated.
I became the phantom of Camp Hi-de-ho.
Living from canoe to canoe all summer.
I never got up the guts to ask Julia out.
That's so sad.
Okay, I made the canoe part up, but it was pretty pathetic.
It's behind you now, so let it go.
You can't change the past.
Oh, no! Please forget I said that.
Lise, is there a way to change the past? That one summer's haunted me for eight years.
If I could do it over again, it would mean so much to me.
Well, I could send you back in time to summer camp.
Find the eight-years-old Gary Wallace.
Give him enough courage to ask Julia out.
And get even with Scanlon? I'm liking it.
- Wy? - As long as we don't travel through time naked like the Terminator.
Last one there is a rotten egg.
Welcome to Hell.
There's the rec hall, arts and crafts canoes And there's Julia.
And that's me.
- Hey, Wallace, want a mud pie? - Sure.
And I'm guessing that's Scanlon.
Time to rewrite history.
Come on, Scanlon, you dink.
I'd like see you try that again.
Come on, you cootie-head.
I bet your mom has cooties too.
I bet your whole family has cooties.
We should call you the cootie-head.
I remember this, and it's not pretty.
- What did you call me, Pippi? - Hey, Scanlon! Leave him alone.
- Who the hell are you? - I'm your worst nightmare-- a counselor who'll pay you back for all the little guys you stepped on.
Let him down.
Made you blink.
[ Chattering .]
: Counselor's a wussy.
Counselor's a wussy.
Am not! - I hate him.
- I hate him.
Forgot about that.
Get lost, you dork.
Thanks for nothing.
Jeez! What crawled up my butt.
I'm going to go talk to myself.
Later.
So, what do you want to do first-- finger-paint? Weave place mats? Ooh! A potter's wheel! We can make ashtrays.
Hey, can I get some help over here? Ms Wellman? That's my mom's name.
Call me Rhonda.
Ms.
Wellman was a counselor here? Did you do this? No.
It's just coincidence, I swear.
WYATT: She was even cuter then.
I just figured out how I'm going to spend my summer.
I am hot for teacher.
She's going to grow up to be your english teacher.
It's eight years from now.
What can happen? Hey you're missing all the fun.
How come you're inside? I'm a big, fat loser.
Somebody stole my snickerdoodles.
No.
You hid them under your mattress, remember? That's right.
How'd you know? I'm not just a camp counselor.
I know all about you, because I'm your future self come back in time to help you.
- Help! Help! - Shh! I can prove I'm you.
Your middle name is Walter.
- It's on my shirts.
- Your favorite movie is Batman.
- Batman's a stinky old TV show.
- It's going to be a huge movie.
Yeah, right.
Last summer you tuked in you sock drawer - and blamed it on the dog.
- You are for real.
How come I haven't seen you around Hi-de-ho before? They just sent me up from counselor training school.
We studied all the basics-- how to make pot holders, advance "capture the flag" intensive macaroni collage.
- Hardy, har, har.
- Seriously, I just started this week.
I thought it might be a cool way to gain some teaching experience.
I kind of have this dream to teach high school english someday and I love to read.
Herman Melville's my favorite Author but you probably don't like any of that stuff.
You can say that again.
I hate to read.
- You do? - My dad's a professor.
He's always making me read.
He's really strict.
This is the first time I've been away from home by myself.
- Really? - Yeah.
I guess he's afraid I'll meet a boy.
- You know, I'm a boy.
- No?! Aw, come on.
Cheer up.
I'm sorry.
I felt I had to tell you.
But I love wham.
They can't break up.
These things happen.
What other bad things happen? Is our whole life this sucky? I know this summer bites, but it gets better.
There's something that's going to make this summer killer.
It's about a girl you like, so don't freak-out, okay? I don't freak-out over girls.
- Hi.
Where's your little buddy? - Freaking-out.
Gary? It's okay.
This is Lisa.
In the future we hang out together.
Really? Now, how'd a dweeb like you land a babe like her? - He made me.
- Good work, my friend.
- [ Laughing .]
- Have you told him yet? - Told me what? - Julia Putnum has a big crush on you.
- Sure.
Right.
- No.
I'm telling you she does.
- She wants your bod.
- I don't believe you.
See that? She just smiled right at us.
I saw her first, okay? So just back off.
You don't understand.
I'm here to help you.
I don't like her now.
I liked her then.
- When? - Now.
My head hurts.
Look.
Julia is way into you.
It's a sure thing.
She's just waiting for you to ask her to be your girlfriend.
- I don't think so.
- Look, just talk to her.
- Hi, Julia.
- Hi, Gary.
- You like camp so far? - It's okay.
- Yeah.
- I made a key ring for my mom.
I made a bottle opener for my dad.
Well, maybe I'll see you around.
Okay.
- So, how'd it go? - I didn't puke.
I make me so proud.
You make me crazy when you call me "teacher".
- Sorry about that.
- No.
I like it.
"Teacher.
" Lisa, what's the future like? Can cars fly? No, but we've got fat-free cheese.
Little "G", you know what you're going to do.
Tomorrow night you're going to show up at Julia's cabin with flowers, and ask her to the camp cookout, right? [ Knocking .]
Hey, look.
It's a note.
Oh, my God! The note! I forgot about the note! It's from Julia.
She says she wants to meet me.
It's a trick.
Scanlon wrote it.
- She does like me.
- It's a set-up! - The paper even smells like her.
- Are you even listening? - I'm coming, Julia! - Wait, you pinhead It's a trap.
Lisa, please, you got to help me.
Scanlon is going to string me up and slap a sock on me.
You got to turn this around.
You're asking me to use my magic to humiliate an eight-year-old child? He's almost nine.
Besides, he deserves this.
It's been eight years.
Let it go.
That's why I came back.
I thought you came to help little Gary get Julia.
Sure, that's part of it, but I'd love to nail Scanlon.
Okay.
It's done.
Go admire your handiwork but then, can we get out of here? SCANLON: Somebody untie me.
Hey, what's going on here? - Come on.
Let me go.
- Looks like your little plan backfired.
Maybe next time you'll think twice before you mess with Gary Walter Wallace-- cootie-head.
- I got your note.
- Huh? - Want to take a walk or something? - Okay.
I think my work here is done.
The look on Scanlon's face-- It was perfect.
I've been waiting for that moment my whole life.
I hope going back didn't somehow mess up the present.
One small change in the past could trigger huge changes in the present my life feels the same.
Yeah, everything looks the same to me.
- What? - Uh Uh-uh, he'll freak.
So, how did everything go witrh your 16-year-old english teacher? Great.
Just sorry I didn't have a chance to say good-bye.
- Just as well.
- Hi, Gary.
- Hey, guys.
- Julia.
I told Jim and Molly we're going to bag on tonight.
Do you want to catch a movie instead? Sure, a movie's good.
A little time alone with my girlfriend Julia.
Oops.
Sorry, Julia.
Mop-top.
- Barbie.
- Oh - Is that Scanlon? - What a jerk.
Really? You think so? High school dropout.
Hardly ever bathes.
I'd say he gets the local loser award.
See you tonight.
Oops.
now look what I've gone and done.
His life's a mess.
You've ruined his life.
He used to be star athlete and an honor student.
Guys like Scanlon are all the same-- good looking, arrogant.
They think they can do anything they want.
He deserves whatever he gets.
Got.
Was going to be getting.
- Ms.
Wellman? - Wyatt, come on in.
What can I do for you? I wanted to talk to you about my writing assignment.
I was thinking about my first dating experience.
I'm having a little troubled getting started though.
Do you have any specially fond memories of your first boyfriend? My first boyfriend.
Yes, I do.
I have very fond memories of him.
Derek.
We met when we were seniors in high school.
No, no, no.
Before that.
Do you have any memorable, say, summer romances? Lots of them, sure.
There was Vince, Joe, Dominic, James, Patrick.
And there was this one boy from Camp Wackadoo.
- Hi-de-ho.
- He was my first kiss-- So sweet, so tender.
We were together only a short time but the brevity of our romance was matched only but its passion.
He disappeared without ever saying farewell.
Pity.
I was willing to give my whole self over to him.
- You mean? - Yes, I was his for the taking.
- [ Whimpers .]
- It's just as well.
Neither of us were prepared to handle that kind of responsibility.
You kind of remind me of him, Wyatt.
Except he had black hair.
Ah! What twisted wrinkle in time did this? - You care to explain? - You're traveling through time.
There are hazards.
A follicle discoloration happens to be one of them.
But blonde? See you then, okay? Bye.
Julia.
Oh, guess what? My folks are going out tonight.
I thought we could rent a movie, and I don't know-- do what boyfriends and girlfriends do.
Wait, Gary.
I want to say something.
Shoot.
We've been together for a long time.
Now that I know you, it's time we moved on to the next step in our relationship.
- Sex? - Seeing other people.
- What kind of step is that? - The right one.
I'm sorry, Gary.
We've outgrown each other.
You'll divvy up your time between me and everybody else? Nope.
Julia - I've lost my Julia.
- You can't be that bummed.
Technically you barely knew her.
It's the principle of the thing.
I was supposed to get her.
That's why we changed the past.
Changing the past doesn't matter if you weren't meant to be with her.
You meddled with time and all you did was ruin - Jeremy Scanlon's life.
- I refuse to feel guilty.
Scanlon didn't feel guilty for ruining my life.
Gary, look at this.
This is what Scanlon use to be.
Gary, it was great seeing you.
Have a fine day.
This is what Scanlon is now.
If you don't reverse what you've done, this is what he'll become.
You know what you have to do.
You got to send me back in time to yesterday so I can dump Julia before she dumps me.
- Gary.
- I know.
I got to go back and fix everything let him get the girl and tie me naked to a tree.
- That's a great idea.
- What? I mean the going-back part.
I'll go with you.
It's okay.
You don't have to come.
No, no, no, I insist.
We can spend the night.
- You're a true friend, Wyatt.
- Yeah.
I want to be there for you.
Just give me two minutes.
I want to slap on some cologne.
What a guy.
You have no idea what's going on, do you? I don't understand.
She said she loved me.
- Poor, little guy.
- Don't worry.
I'll get over it.
I can't imagine anything more humiliating.
- I can.
- I'm off to met Rhonda.
Wish me luck.
How do I look? Uh you smell great.
