1
00:00:10,368 --> 00:00:12,976
Wow, Quinn, you look darling!

2
00:00:13,011 --> 00:00:15,273
You look so happy, sweetie!

3
00:00:15,308 --> 00:00:16,974
I felt happy.

4
00:00:17,009 --> 00:00:20,040
I always feel happy on picture day.

5
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,794
Do you think that "Nature's Precious Wonders" was a good background?

6
00:00:23,829 --> 00:00:26,799
Because I almost went with "Starlight over Yosemite. "

7
00:00:27,234 --> 00:00:29,676
I think it was a fine choice.

8
00:00:29,711 --> 00:00:31,208
What did you pick, Daria?

9
00:00:31,243 --> 00:00:33,505
Black clouds swallowing Chernobyl?

10
00:00:33,540 --> 00:00:36,203
Come on, Daria, where's your school picture?

11
00:00:41,477 --> 00:00:43,902
Wow! That's sharp focus...

12
00:00:43,937 --> 00:00:48,412
Daria, just once, why can't you smile when somebody takes your picture?

13
00:00:48,447 --> 00:00:50,837
I don't like to smile unless I have a reason.

14
00:00:50,872 --> 00:00:55,474
Daria, people judge you by your expressions.

15
00:00:55,509 --> 00:00:59,261
Yes, and I believe there is something intrinsically wrong with that system,

16
00:00:59,296 --> 00:01:01,516
and have dedicated myself to changing it.

17
00:01:01,551 --> 00:01:03,261
Hey, did you guys see these?

18
00:01:04,785 --> 00:01:07,606
This is it, Mack Daddy! The week of weeks!

19
00:01:08,076 --> 00:01:10,291
Too much hero worship isn't healthy, you know.

20
00:01:10,326 --> 00:01:11,737
And don't call me that.

21
00:01:11,772 --> 00:01:14,506
But the man is coming! The man!

22
00:01:14,541 --> 00:01:16,470
Tommy Sherman brought it home, bro!

23
00:01:16,505 --> 00:01:20,469
The state championship. And now, he's coming back to Lawndale.

24
00:01:20,504 --> 00:01:21,660
I know all about it.

25
00:01:21,695 --> 00:01:24,178
Jodie's giving the speech about the new goal post, remember?

26
00:01:24,213 --> 00:01:27,368
Oh yeah! Does she need any help with ideas for that?

27
00:01:27,403 --> 00:01:29,707
Like, from a quarterback's point of view.

28
00:01:29,742 --> 00:01:31,324
Gee. I'll ask her...

29
00:01:31,359 --> 00:01:33,366
when there aren't any sharp objects around.

30
00:01:33,401 --> 00:01:34,216
Cool!

31
00:01:34,779 --> 00:01:37,286
What's the big deal about this football guy, anyway?

32
00:01:37,321 --> 00:01:41,158
He was quarterback three years ago when the school won the state championship.

33
00:01:41,193 --> 00:01:42,264
My brother knew him.

34
00:01:42,299 --> 00:01:44,775
Well, why name the goal posts after him?

35
00:01:44,810 --> 00:01:46,305
Why not the whole stadium?

36
00:01:46,340 --> 00:01:48,134
Goal post.

37
00:01:48,660 --> 00:01:52,236
See, his trademark was, he always wanted to run the touchdown in himself.

38
00:01:52,271 --> 00:01:53,852
A real team player.

39
00:01:53,887 --> 00:01:57,383
But he couldn't keep from waving to the crowd when he did it.

40
00:01:57,418 --> 00:02:00,617
They cheered, he waved, and wham!

41
00:02:00,652 --> 00:02:02,275
He ran right into the goal post.

42
00:02:02,310 --> 00:02:04,617
What an intelligent young man.

43
00:02:04,652 --> 00:02:06,409
He broke his own nose twice.

44
00:02:06,444 --> 00:02:08,746
Then, in the playoffs a week before the state championship,

45
00:02:08,781 --> 00:02:11,600
he scored the winning touchdown, and hit the goal post so hard

46
00:02:11,635 --> 00:02:12,791
he cracked his helmet.

47
00:02:12,826 --> 00:02:14,995
He was unconscious for six days.

48
00:02:15,102 --> 00:02:19,716
Miraculously, he woke up the night before the big game feeling great.

49
00:02:20,168 --> 00:02:22,950
The next day, he led the team to victory.

50
00:02:23,209 --> 00:02:24,177
Stirring.

51
00:02:24,212 --> 00:02:25,198
Isn't it?

52
00:02:25,233 --> 00:02:30,386
So now the school's bought one of those new goal posts designed to break apart rather than split your skull.

53
00:02:30,421 --> 00:02:31,542
Why only one?

54
00:02:31,577 --> 00:02:32,715
Budget cuts.

55
00:02:32,750 --> 00:02:35,822
And they're naming it after good ol' Tommy Sherman.

56
00:02:35,857 --> 00:02:39,762
And here comes the lucky Student Council member who will do the honors.

57
00:02:39,797 --> 00:02:40,654
Gimme a break.

58
00:02:40,689 --> 00:02:43,845
Hey, Daria, I can't get past the introduction to this speech.

59
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:44,908
Can I read it to you?

60
00:02:44,943 --> 00:02:47,375
Does that mean I don't have to listen to it later?

61
00:02:47,410 --> 00:02:52,403
"Good afternoon, students, faculty, and distinguished alumni of Lawndale High.

62
00:02:52,938 --> 00:02:55,814
As a representative of your Student Council... "

63
00:02:56,962 --> 00:02:58,238
Any ideas?

64
00:02:59,217 --> 00:03:04,833
"It is my privilege today to once again send the message that learning is no substitute for winning. "

65
00:03:04,868 --> 00:03:08,833
"And that it's not how hard you study, it's how hard you play football. "

66
00:03:09,168 --> 00:03:13,090
Gosh, thanks so much. You think I like this?

67
00:03:13,125 --> 00:03:16,026
If you don't believe any of it, why give the speech?

68
00:03:16,061 --> 00:03:18,195
Because I'm on the Student Council.

69
00:03:18,230 --> 00:03:20,066
It's a job with many responsibilities,

70
00:03:20,101 --> 00:03:24,642
and today it's my responsibility to kiss the butt of some jerk getting a goal post named after him,

71
00:03:24,677 --> 00:03:26,939
but at least now I feel really good about it.

72
00:03:28,031 --> 00:03:29,677
Leave me alone!

73
00:03:31,825 --> 00:03:32,798
Chicks.

74
00:03:32,833 --> 00:03:34,712
Yeah, chicks.

75
00:03:38,574 --> 00:03:40,922
Keep going. It gets better.

76
00:03:41,946 --> 00:03:43,518
Hello, beautiful.

77
00:03:43,982 --> 00:03:47,786
I see one thing about Lawndale football has improved a lot

78
00:03:47,821 --> 00:03:50,675
since I was unanimously voted most valuable player:

79
00:03:50,710 --> 00:03:52,547
the cheerleaders.

80
00:03:52,582 --> 00:03:54,164
You're Tommy Sherman!

81
00:03:54,199 --> 00:03:56,032
You know your sports.

82
00:03:56,067 --> 00:03:58,115
My boyfriend's Kevin Thompson.

83
00:03:58,150 --> 00:04:01,030
He's quarterback of the team. He worships you!

84
00:04:01,065 --> 00:04:04,773
That's great. Listen, they're putting me up at the Lawndale Manor.

85
00:04:04,808 --> 00:04:08,388
Why don't we head back there, order you some champagne,

86
00:04:08,423 --> 00:04:13,091
get horizontal, and you can find out just how big a hero I am.

87
00:04:13,126 --> 00:04:17,387
Didn't you hear what I said? My boyfriend is your biggest fan?

88
00:04:17,422 --> 00:04:19,380
What are you telling me? He wants to watch?

89
00:04:20,066 --> 00:04:21,314
I don't know...

90
00:04:23,654 --> 00:04:25,317
All right, all right, he can watch.

91
00:04:25,879 --> 00:04:27,325
Hey, where are you going?

92
00:04:27,776 --> 00:04:30,855
Did someone flash the bimbo signal?

93
00:04:36,043 --> 00:04:37,800
Tommy Sherman!

94
00:04:38,237 --> 00:04:40,029
That's my name. Don't wear it out.

95
00:04:40,096 --> 00:04:41,213
I'm your biggest fan!

96
00:04:41,248 --> 00:04:45,329
I doubt that, unless the rest of them are pygmies!

97
00:04:45,664 --> 00:04:48,359
I'm Kevin Thompson. This is Michael Jordan Mackenzie.

98
00:04:48,414 --> 00:04:49,635
We call Mack.

99
00:04:49,670 --> 00:04:53,005
Michael Jordan Mackenzie? You're kidding, right?

100
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,963
It was Michael James Mackenzie,

101
00:04:54,998 --> 00:04:59,088
but Dad went to a Bulls playoff game when I was 12 and then he changed it.

102
00:04:59,123 --> 00:05:02,981
That's sick, man. So, what, are you guys on the intramural squad or something?

103
00:05:03,016 --> 00:05:05,491
Varsity, dude! I'm the QB!

104
00:05:11,192 --> 00:05:12,704
Why are you laughing?

105
00:05:14,036 --> 00:05:15,316
Um, why are you?

106
00:05:15,651 --> 00:05:21,499
I'm just picturing a scrawny little guy like you trying to play for some third-rate junior college somewhere

107
00:05:21,534 --> 00:05:23,838
and getting your butt kicked every week.

108
00:05:24,224 --> 00:05:26,269
Oh, yeah. That's funny.

109
00:05:26,890 --> 00:05:27,800
No, it isn't.

110
00:05:27,835 --> 00:05:30,771
Hey, Britt! Did you meet Tommy Sherman?

111
00:05:31,106 --> 00:05:32,240
Yes!

112
00:05:32,275 --> 00:05:34,281
Hey, babe! What's the matter?

113
00:05:35,090 --> 00:05:36,536
Pleased to make your acquaintance.

114
00:05:36,771 --> 00:05:41,588
Yeah. Make sure your father doesn't go to any Whoopi Goldberg movies!

115
00:05:47,327 --> 00:05:48,392
Excuse me.

116
00:05:49,426 --> 00:05:50,534
You're kidding, right?

117
00:05:50,569 --> 00:05:53,891
You think I'm going to talk to you? You, maybe.

118
00:05:53,926 --> 00:05:56,589
Like, four hours into a kegger.

119
00:05:57,324 --> 00:05:59,427
Perhaps after I vomit on your shoes...

120
00:05:59,462 --> 00:06:00,618
I don't want to talk to you.

121
00:06:00,653 --> 00:06:04,235
Yeah, right. You said, "Excuse me. "

122
00:06:04,270 --> 00:06:05,979
You're on my locker.

123
00:06:06,014 --> 00:06:09,098
Do you know who I am? Tommy Sherman?

124
00:06:09,133 --> 00:06:13,613
I know the whole school's turning itself inside out because of some egotistical football player,

125
00:06:13,648 --> 00:06:17,832
and I've seen you insult or proposition just about everyone you come across,

126
00:06:17,867 --> 00:06:21,022
so my guess is that you're the football player guy.

127
00:06:21,057 --> 00:06:25,868
Congratulations, you must have worked very hard to become such a colossal jerk so quickly.

128
00:06:27,569 --> 00:06:29,782
You know what Tommy Sherman's going to do now?

129
00:06:29,817 --> 00:06:34,713
He's going to go out onto the football field and check out his new goal post.

130
00:06:34,748 --> 00:06:37,964
He's going to read the plaque and think of all the people who admire him.

131
00:06:37,999 --> 00:06:40,244
But you wouldn't know anything about that.

132
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:45,776
You're one of those misery chicks, always moping about what a cruel world it is,

133
00:06:45,811 --> 00:06:49,944
making a big deal about it so people won't notice that you're a loser.

134
00:06:51,998 --> 00:06:53,542
I don't think he likes you.

135
00:06:53,577 --> 00:06:54,858
That doesn't bother me.

136
00:06:54,893 --> 00:06:59,453
What bothers me is that jerk is going to be treated like a hero for the rest of this life.

137
00:06:59,488 --> 00:07:01,897
Well, maybe he won't live that long.

138
00:07:01,932 --> 00:07:04,408
Come on. You know wishes don't come true.

139
00:07:08,635 --> 00:07:10,380
Oh, my God! The goal post fell!

140
00:07:10,415 --> 00:07:15,895
Tommy Sherman's dead! He's dead!

141
00:07:27,570 --> 00:07:32,677
How does one make sense of a tragedy so... tragic.

142
00:07:32,712 --> 00:07:35,484
A young man, our hero,

143
00:07:35,519 --> 00:07:41,902
struck down in a freakish accident by the very goal post that was being put up in his honor.

144
00:07:41,937 --> 00:07:45,306
What lesson can we take from all of this...

145
00:07:45,341 --> 00:07:51,263
other than not to leave heavy goal posts in sharp edged wooden crates leaning precariously against the bleachers.

146
00:07:51,298 --> 00:07:55,007
The lesson is to spread joy, spread light!

147
00:07:55,042 --> 00:07:58,753
Make it your goal to make others feel good.

148
00:07:58,788 --> 00:08:05,433
And when you reach that goal, you keep running until you reach the goal post.

149
00:08:05,468 --> 00:08:10,465
You hit that goal post hard, and that's what this young man did,

150
00:08:10,500 --> 00:08:16,303
and that is the legacy he left to you, to me, to Lawndale High.

151
00:08:19,016 --> 00:08:23,746
Can someone get him out of here so we can sing "One Sweet Day"?

152
00:08:24,888 --> 00:08:25,853
It's weird.

153
00:08:26,188 --> 00:08:30,286
One minute he's standing there calling me a loser, the next minute he's dead.

154
00:08:30,321 --> 00:08:31,343
Yeah.

155
00:08:31,378 --> 00:08:36,425
I mean, the guy Ms. Li was talking about didn't bear any resemblance to the guy we met.

156
00:08:36,910 --> 00:08:37,688
But still...

157
00:08:37,823 --> 00:08:41,116
Listen I'm going home to change and then I think I'm going to go for a run.

158
00:08:41,151 --> 00:08:42,094
I'll walk with you.

159
00:08:42,129 --> 00:08:45,966
Actually, I think I'm going to walk by myself for a little while. See you later.

160
00:08:47,401 --> 00:08:50,073
Hey, Daria? Can I talk to you?

161
00:08:50,108 --> 00:08:50,966
Why?

162
00:08:51,501 --> 00:08:55,330
Well, you know, Tommy. I'm really bummed out.

163
00:08:55,365 --> 00:08:57,756
Yeah, I'm sorry about that, Kevin.

164
00:08:57,791 --> 00:08:59,818
But I don't know what to tell you.

165
00:08:59,853 --> 00:09:02,200
I only met him right before the accident.

166
00:09:02,235 --> 00:09:05,669
Me, too! But I mean, it really makes you think.

167
00:09:05,704 --> 00:09:08,476
Got any, like, words of wisdom or whatever?

168
00:09:08,711 --> 00:09:10,283
Like what?

169
00:09:10,318 --> 00:09:13,517
I don't know. I figure you think about depressing stuff a lot.

170
00:09:13,552 --> 00:09:14,921
You're that type, you know?

171
00:09:14,956 --> 00:09:16,538
No, I don't know.

172
00:09:16,573 --> 00:09:18,239
I mean, the guy was a hero.

173
00:09:18,674 --> 00:09:22,401
A really good quarterback, everybody liked him, kinda hunky, you know.

174
00:09:22,436 --> 00:09:24,025
Not that I would notice something like that.

175
00:09:24,060 --> 00:09:27,345
And now he's just, like, the dead guy.

176
00:09:27,380 --> 00:09:30,876
Tell me, Kevin, did he remind you of anyone?

177
00:09:30,911 --> 00:09:31,653
What do you mean?

178
00:09:31,688 --> 00:09:34,462
Maybe his death hit a little too close to home?

179
00:09:35,549 --> 00:09:36,907
I get what you're saying.

180
00:09:36,942 --> 00:09:39,206
But I don't believe in ghosts, Daria.

181
00:09:39,241 --> 00:09:40,099
What?

182
00:09:40,134 --> 00:09:44,992
You're saying he got hid on his head out there in the football field, the team's home.

183
00:09:45,027 --> 00:09:48,056
And now it's going to be cursed or something, and we're going to lose all our games.

184
00:09:49,095 --> 00:09:50,583
I'm a little surprised, Daria.

185
00:09:50,618 --> 00:09:52,157
That makes two of us.

186
00:09:52,192 --> 00:09:55,264
I didn't think you believed in all that mumbo-gumbo.

187
00:09:55,299 --> 00:09:58,369
Gee, I hope this doesn't lower your opinion of me.

188
00:10:00,358 --> 00:10:03,190
Come on. How much lower can it get?

189
00:10:03,826 --> 00:10:04,544
Daria?

190
00:10:04,579 --> 00:10:05,651
Brittany?

191
00:10:05,686 --> 00:10:07,821
Daria, I've got to talk to you.

192
00:10:07,856 --> 00:10:09,025
About...

193
00:10:09,060 --> 00:10:10,505
Tommy Sherman!

194
00:10:10,540 --> 00:10:12,419
Maybe you should talk to Kevin.

195
00:10:12,454 --> 00:10:16,217
I can't talk to Kevin! Tommy Sherman was a jerk!

196
00:10:17,664 --> 00:10:20,276
You know, no one else seems to realize...

197
00:10:20,311 --> 00:10:24,786
Oh! I can't believe I said that! I called a dead guy a jerk!

198
00:10:24,821 --> 00:10:27,892
So, you are upset about what happened?

199
00:10:27,927 --> 00:10:30,417
That's just it. I feel terrible.

200
00:10:30,452 --> 00:10:32,586
Why did that jerk make me hate him?

201
00:10:32,621 --> 00:10:37,109
Now he's dead and I feel bad but I don't feel that bad so I feel terrible!

202
00:10:37,144 --> 00:10:39,745
It really makes you think.

203
00:10:39,780 --> 00:10:46,669
I mean, you're used to being all gloomy and depressed and thinking about bad stuff...

204
00:10:46,704 --> 00:10:48,486
Why does everyone keep saying that?

205
00:10:48,521 --> 00:10:50,953
So I thought that maybe you can give me some tips.

206
00:10:50,988 --> 00:10:57,591
Well, I guess what I'd say, Brittany, is that here's this guy who really wasn't very nice,

207
00:10:57,626 --> 00:10:59,148
and you didn't like him at all.

208
00:10:59,183 --> 00:11:00,890
You're sorry that he died...

209
00:11:00,925 --> 00:11:01,997
I am!

210
00:11:02,032 --> 00:11:04,592
...but you don't think you're sorry enough,

211
00:11:04,627 --> 00:11:07,612
and you're worried that you're not as nice a person as you thought.

212
00:11:07,647 --> 00:11:11,952
Yeah! It's like, I feel bad, but I think I should feel worse,

213
00:11:11,987 --> 00:11:15,547
and not feeling worse makes me feel bad all over again.

214
00:11:16,653 --> 00:11:21,228
The truth is, Brittany, is that you are nice, or you wouldn't be feeling bad at all right now.

215
00:11:22,164 --> 00:11:27,531
So... you're saying that feeling bad about not feeling worse is good?

216
00:11:28,892 --> 00:11:33,061
Yes. Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.

217
00:11:33,742 --> 00:11:35,146
Thanks, Daria!

218
00:11:37,690 --> 00:11:41,627
"Feeling bad... not feeling worse... good. "

219
00:11:41,662 --> 00:11:42,508
Daria?

220
00:11:43,870 --> 00:11:45,401
Hi, Mr. O'Neill.

221
00:11:45,636 --> 00:11:47,686
May I ask what you're jotting down?

222
00:11:47,921 --> 00:11:50,784
A reflection about poor Tommy Sherman, no doubt.

223
00:11:50,819 --> 00:11:51,763
Not really.

224
00:11:51,798 --> 00:11:55,549
It must have been a terrible shock for someone as sensitive.

225
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:57,761
It really makes you think.

226
00:11:57,796 --> 00:12:00,484
Um... yeah, but I'm dealing with it.

227
00:12:01,687 --> 00:12:03,875
I figured you're be dealing with it.

228
00:12:04,641 --> 00:12:07,065
You probably think about the dark side all the time.

229
00:12:07,100 --> 00:12:11,321
The dark side? Are we talking about "the Force"?

230
00:12:11,356 --> 00:12:12,682
The dark side of life.

231
00:12:13,318 --> 00:12:15,455
The thoughts other people try not to have.

232
00:12:15,490 --> 00:12:18,432
That's your thing, right? Facing the void?

233
00:12:20,730 --> 00:12:23,324
Yes, I'm sure you're dealing with it.

234
00:12:25,067 --> 00:12:26,558
I'm not dealing with it!

235
00:12:28,388 --> 00:12:29,942
There. There.

236
00:12:31,350 --> 00:12:33,440
You want to talk about it?

237
00:12:35,068 --> 00:12:37,838
So then, after I get Brittany squared away,

238
00:12:37,873 --> 00:12:40,263
Mr. O'Neill comes over wanting to talk.

239
00:12:40,598 --> 00:12:44,594
And they all say the same thing: "It really makes you think. "

240
00:12:45,488 --> 00:12:46,976
I feel like getting a couch.

241
00:12:47,011 --> 00:12:48,593
You're the girl of the hour.

242
00:12:48,628 --> 00:12:50,465
Maybe I should talk to you.

243
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:54,124
Yeah right. I can't believe the way people are reacting.

244
00:12:54,159 --> 00:12:58,506
I mean, yeah, it's terrible what happened, but it's not as if he was nice to anyone.

245
00:12:59,191 --> 00:13:00,903
They're acting like they lost a friend.

246
00:13:00,938 --> 00:13:03,839
Boy, Daria, nothing gets through to you, does it.

247
00:13:03,874 --> 00:13:04,988
What's that supposed to mean?

248
00:13:05,023 --> 00:13:08,263
A guy died, and you're talking about what a jerk he was.

249
00:13:08,298 --> 00:13:09,353
I just said...

250
00:13:10,584 --> 00:13:13,128
look, you want to get some pizza?

251
00:13:13,163 --> 00:13:14,362
I'm going running.

252
00:13:15,049 --> 00:13:15,988
After?

253
00:13:16,023 --> 00:13:19,350
I don't know. It's going to be a long run. See you later.

254
00:13:24,078 --> 00:13:27,871
Malibu's Mopious Millionaire, today on Sick...

255
00:13:28,306 --> 00:13:29,229
Come in.

256
00:13:29,664 --> 00:13:33,264
Daria? Wow, your room still looks like this?

257
00:13:33,299 --> 00:13:37,962
Need help filling out your picture order form? It's Q-U-I...

258
00:13:37,997 --> 00:13:42,969
Daria, can I talk to you? About the dead guy?

259
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,542
So I called up Sandi, and Stacy, and Tiffany,

260
00:13:59,577 --> 00:14:04,095
and the Fashion Club is going to take up a collection to get safe new goal posts.

261
00:14:04,130 --> 00:14:06,520
Like, to honor the dead guy's memory.

262
00:14:06,555 --> 00:14:09,415
Quinn, what a wonderful impulse.

263
00:14:09,450 --> 00:14:13,337
To make something positive come out of this devastating event.

264
00:14:13,372 --> 00:14:18,053
Daria gave me that idea. She's really good at this tragic stuff.

265
00:14:18,088 --> 00:14:22,859
Thanks, but it was one of the safe new goal posts that fell on him.

266
00:14:24,681 --> 00:14:26,667
Well, it's the thought that counts.

267
00:14:29,175 --> 00:14:31,128
And how do you feel, Daria?

268
00:14:31,163 --> 00:14:34,491
I feel great. How else could I feel?

269
00:14:34,526 --> 00:14:36,021
I'm the misery chick.

270
00:14:37,084 --> 00:14:38,402
I'm going to Jane's.

271
00:14:43,847 --> 00:14:44,807
Hey, Daria.

272
00:14:45,142 --> 00:14:46,204
Hi, Trent

273
00:14:46,239 --> 00:14:47,481
Janey went running.

274
00:14:48,799 --> 00:14:50,630
Oh. Well, I'll see her another time.

275
00:14:51,053 --> 00:14:53,004
Scary about Tommy Sherman.

276
00:14:53,554 --> 00:14:55,041
Yeah. You knew him, right?

277
00:14:55,076 --> 00:14:57,296
We had a couple classes together.

278
00:14:57,331 --> 00:14:59,577
I mean, we didn't see him much.

279
00:14:59,612 --> 00:15:01,848
You know, he didn't show up too often.

280
00:15:01,883 --> 00:15:03,466
Not like you, huh?

281
00:15:06,191 --> 00:15:09,874
I guess I might have missed a few classes, now that you mention it.

282
00:15:10,723 --> 00:15:12,894
Weird thing. Freak accident.

283
00:15:12,929 --> 00:15:15,573
Would you say it really makes you think?

284
00:15:16,308 --> 00:15:17,425
No.

285
00:15:17,460 --> 00:15:18,896
Thank you for that Trent.

286
00:15:20,143 --> 00:15:20,960
See ya.

287
00:15:21,424 --> 00:15:22,659
Hey, Daria?

288
00:15:22,694 --> 00:15:23,722
Yeah?

289
00:15:23,757 --> 00:15:26,786
You know, it was a while ago that Janey went running.

290
00:15:27,221 --> 00:15:30,858
Maybe she came back and I didn't hear her or something.

291
00:15:30,893 --> 00:15:33,581
Anyway, why don't you check her room.

292
00:15:33,616 --> 00:15:35,112
She might be there.

293
00:15:35,147 --> 00:15:36,686
I'll yell up the stairs.

294
00:15:36,721 --> 00:15:42,940
No, umm, sometimes she's got some music on and she can't hear really well.

295
00:15:42,975 --> 00:15:44,898
Why don't you just head on up?

296
00:15:48,298 --> 00:15:49,914
Yo! Come on in!

297
00:15:51,586 --> 00:15:53,305
Oh. Hi.

298
00:15:53,728 --> 00:15:55,122
Are you avoiding me?

299
00:15:55,157 --> 00:15:58,100
Um... not anymore?

300
00:15:59,077 --> 00:16:00,587
What's going on?

301
00:16:00,622 --> 00:16:03,268
Nothing. I just haven't felt like talking to anybody.

302
00:16:03,303 --> 00:16:06,373
I'm not anybody, and I'd like to talk to someone.

303
00:16:06,408 --> 00:16:07,948
But you've been talking to everyone.

304
00:16:07,983 --> 00:16:12,117
No, everyone's been talking to me. There's a difference.

305
00:16:12,152 --> 00:16:15,194
Well, what do you want to talk about, anyway? You don't care about what happened.

306
00:16:15,229 --> 00:16:16,173
How can you say that?

307
00:16:16,208 --> 00:16:19,874
You've been treating it like, "Oh well, another stupid day. "

308
00:16:19,909 --> 00:16:21,134
The guy died.

309
00:16:21,169 --> 00:16:23,872
I know he died! I'm sorry he died!

310
00:16:23,907 --> 00:16:27,411
But I'm not going to pretend that he was some great person when he wasn't.

311
00:16:27,446 --> 00:16:29,896
People aren't upset because Tommy Sherman died,

312
00:16:29,931 --> 00:16:32,150
they're upset because they're going to die.

313
00:16:32,885 --> 00:16:34,108
That's understandable.

314
00:16:34,143 --> 00:16:36,702
Okay, but you know what I've been hearing?

315
00:16:36,737 --> 00:16:39,979
"You know how I feel, Daria. You're gloomy.

316
00:16:40,014 --> 00:16:41,723
I knew I can talk to you, Daria.

317
00:16:41,758 --> 00:16:43,638
You're always miserable. "

318
00:16:43,673 --> 00:16:46,403
Tragedy hits the school and everyone thinks of me.

319
00:16:46,438 --> 00:16:50,962
A popular guy died, and now I'm popular because I'm the misery chick.

320
00:16:50,997 --> 00:16:55,386
But I'm not miserable. I'm just not like them.

321
00:16:55,979 --> 00:16:57,400
It really makes you think.

322
00:16:57,435 --> 00:16:59,400
Funny. Thanks a lot.

323
00:16:59,435 --> 00:17:01,729
No! That's why they want to talk to you.

324
00:17:01,764 --> 00:17:06,910
When they say, "You're always unhappy, Daria," what they mean is, "You think Daria.

325
00:17:06,945 --> 00:17:09,250
I can tell because you don't smile.

326
00:17:09,285 --> 00:17:15,173
Now this guy died and it makes me think and that hurts my little head and makes me stop smiling.

327
00:17:15,208 --> 00:17:18,662
So, tell me how you cope with thinking all the time, Daria,

328
00:17:18,697 --> 00:17:20,822
until I can get back to my normal vegetable state. "

329
00:17:21,357 --> 00:17:22,555
Okay.

330
00:17:23,151 --> 00:17:25,195
So why have you been avoiding me?

331
00:17:25,230 --> 00:17:27,917
Because I've been trying not to think.

332
00:17:28,724 --> 00:17:32,597
About the way we were making jokes about him dying and then, boom, it happened.

333
00:17:32,832 --> 00:17:35,034
We didn't have anything to do with the guy dying.

334
00:17:35,269 --> 00:17:36,808
It was a freak accident.

335
00:17:37,043 --> 00:17:41,831
Yeah, well, I don't like it when I say people should die and then they do.

336
00:17:42,166 --> 00:17:44,492
I don't want that kind of responsibility.

337
00:17:44,527 --> 00:17:47,471
At least not until I've got a job in middle management.

338
00:17:48,598 --> 00:17:49,967
You didn't make him die.

339
00:17:50,402 --> 00:17:52,187
You're not the misery chick.

340
00:17:52,622 --> 00:17:53,643
All right, then.

341
00:17:53,678 --> 00:17:54,877
All right, then.

342
00:17:56,375 --> 00:17:57,638
He shouldn't have died.

343
00:17:58,073 --> 00:17:58,890
No.

344
00:17:59,325 --> 00:18:00,765
But he wasn't a nice guy.

345
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:02,250
No.

346
00:18:03,926 --> 00:18:05,411
Did Trent know you were up here?

347
00:18:05,646 --> 00:18:08,387
Told him to tell anyone who dropped by that I was out running.

348
00:18:08,622 --> 00:18:11,185
What a surprise... he forgot.

349
00:18:11,420 --> 00:18:12,702
No, he didn't.

350
00:18:14,050 --> 00:18:17,818
"It is better to have loved and lost, then never to have loved at all. "

351
00:18:17,953 --> 00:18:20,948
Just what is Lord Tennyson talking about?

352
00:18:21,630 --> 00:18:22,565
Brittany?

353
00:18:24,161 --> 00:18:25,509
Um, love?

354
00:18:25,544 --> 00:18:28,954
Anyone else? Daria?

355
00:18:28,989 --> 00:18:33,847
Well, he's acknowledging that if something makes you feel good, like being in love,

356
00:18:33,882 --> 00:18:37,593
there must be a corresponding painful side, like losing a love,

357
00:18:37,628 --> 00:18:39,293
and that it's just a fact of life.

358
00:18:39,328 --> 00:18:40,825
Sad, but true.

359
00:18:40,860 --> 00:18:42,548
And what's intriguing about it

360
00:18:42,610 --> 00:18:46,959
is that no one calls Tennyson a big unhappiness freak just because he understands that.

361
00:18:46,994 --> 00:18:49,895
Is he a big unhappiness freak?

362
00:18:49,930 --> 00:18:51,937
No, he's a realist.

363
00:18:51,972 --> 00:18:55,639
He says, "Emotional involvement brings pleasure and extraordinary pain. "

364
00:18:55,974 --> 00:18:59,256
Then he declares that it's better than feeling nothing at all.

365
00:18:59,291 --> 00:19:01,127
That is excellent, Daria.

366
00:19:01,562 --> 00:19:04,776
Of course, this was before the advent of community property laws.

367
00:19:07,285 --> 00:19:10,452
Hello? Quinn's cousin or whatever?

368
00:19:10,914 --> 00:19:11,555
Yeah?

369
00:19:11,590 --> 00:19:15,254
Quinn said you were really good with, like, bummed out stuff?

370
00:19:15,289 --> 00:19:16,403
Yeah?

371
00:19:16,438 --> 00:19:21,435
My cat, he, like, got into my makeup or something and,

372
00:19:21,470 --> 00:19:25,372
like, ODed on foundation, and he spent the whole day puking.

373
00:19:25,407 --> 00:19:28,501
And the experience left him questioning the meaning of life?

374
00:19:28,536 --> 00:19:30,455
And I've been feeling really bad about it,

375
00:19:30,490 --> 00:19:33,816
and I was wondering if you had, like, some advice or something.

376
00:19:33,851 --> 00:19:38,587
I'm afraid that inflation has forced me to institute a small fee for my services.

377
00:19:40,158 --> 00:19:42,100
Ten dollars. In advance.

378
00:19:43,290 --> 00:19:45,395
Oh, uh, sure.

379
00:19:47,632 --> 00:19:49,605
What is the animal's name?

380
00:19:50,402 --> 00:19:51,337
Fluffy.

381
00:19:51,813 --> 00:19:53,300
I see. Fluffy.

382
00:19:56,900 --> 00:19:59,349
So, like, what's your advice?

383
00:19:59,784 --> 00:20:03,256
Find some other way to feel. Then you won't feel sad.

384
00:20:03,978 --> 00:20:04,628
Good luck.

385
00:20:04,663 --> 00:20:07,826
That's what I get for ten dollars? Are you kidding?

386
00:20:07,861 --> 00:20:09,784
See? It's working already.

387
00:20:11,953 --> 00:20:13,251
Thanks.

388
00:20:15,469 --> 00:20:18,781
You just made ten bucks off of that poor girl's suffering.

389
00:20:18,816 --> 00:20:20,696
Yeah. That was wrong.

390
00:20:20,731 --> 00:20:22,654
Really. Next time...

391
00:20:22,689 --> 00:20:23,546
Twenty.
