Sweet 6teen/Script

[Caitlin is in the Khaki Barn with a large rack of dresses.] Nikki: "Okay, so remind me again what the big deal is?" Caitlin: "It's my sweet sixteen, Nikki!" Nikki: "Uh-huh. And?" Caitlin: "And it's the biggest, most important night of my life. It's when I finally say goodbye to my childhood and reintroduce myself as an adult woman." Nikki: "And how will you do that?" Caitlin: "By having the wickedest, most expensive party in history!" Kristen: "I was watching Chill TV's Sweet 16 show, and this one girl's daddy bought her a car!" Caitlin: "What kind of car?" Kristen: "Red!" Caitlin, Kristen, and Kirsten: "EEEEEEE!!!" Kristen: "In one episode, all the guests got MP3 players!" Kirsten: "Are you going to give everyone gifts?" Caitlin: "Totally." Kristen and Kirsten: "EEEEEEE!!!" Nikki: "Oof. On my sixteenth birthday, I was at the movies with Jude and Jonesy. We saw Farting Ninjas Revenge, and Jonesy ate all my popcorn." ''[Caitlin walks out of the dressing room in a Look at Me dress. Kristen and Kirsten gasp.]'' Caitlin: "This...is it." Kirsten: "It's perfect!" Caitlin, Kristen, and Kirsten: "EEEEEEE!!!" [Stuart Goldstein, who is walking by the store, is startled.] Stuart Goldstein: "What the–" ''[He drops his bags and runs away. Nikki runs out of the store.]'' Nikki: [covering her ears] "Ugh! It's like hanging out with dolphins!"

''The opening credits roll. The title of this episode is Sweet 6teen''

[The six friends have gathered by the mall ice rink.] Caitlin: "So I'm thinking of a Bollywood theme. I'm gonna transform the Soft Rock Café into this!" [She holds up a sketch.] Jude: "Cool." Caitlin: "And I talked to Chill TV's Sweet 16, and they wanna shoot my party for their show!" Jonesy: "We get to be on TV? Awesome!" Benj: [walking by] "Hey Caitlin." [Caitlin raises a hand to wave and makes a strangled noise.] Nikki: "Why is it that whenever you see Benj you lose the power of speech?" Caitlin: "I dunno. He's just so dreamy. I hope he asks to be my date for my sweet sixteen." Wyatt: "Why don't you just ask him to ask you?" Caitlin: "Duh! If I ask Benj to ask me, then he isn't asking me, I'm asking him." Wyatt: "Not if he asks you after you ask him to ask you." Caitlin: "But if I ask first, it makes me the asker not the askee, regardless of him asking me after I ask–" Nikki: "Okay, I'm asking both of you to stop before I hurt one of you." Jen: "Do you want me to help with decorations? I can be in charge of that if you want." Caitlin: "Oh, that's so sweet, Jen. But I'm gonna use professionals." Jen: "Oh. So what do you want me to do?" Caitlin: "I think I've got it all covered." Jen: "No, seriously. There has to be something you need me to do." Caitlin: "Just come to the party." Jen: "But I've never just gone to a party! You know, I'm usually in charge of something! Or everything!" Caitlin: [gasping] "I've got to do some serious shopping for my pre- and post-party outfits! Later!" [Jen stares at Caitlin's receding back, stunned that she won't be able to hijack any part of the party.] Jen: "She's gotta let me be in charge of something though, right?" Nikki: [standing up] "I gotta go to work." Jen: "I just like to help out, that's all!" Jude: [after the girls leave] "It is officially time to ice surf!" ''[Jude leaps on the ice, but doesn't surf at all. Jonesy and Wyatt follow him on and trip when they don't slide.]'' Wyatt: [unimpressed] "Well that was anti-climactic." Jude: "What gives?" Jonesy: "Dude, your ice has no slide." Jude: "Bad quality ice? This will require some investigating."

[Caitlin is talking with some employees at Albatross & Finch.] Jill: "We don't give discounts." Caitlin: "But what if I told you I'd be wearing the outfits on Chill TV?" ''[Tricia, who was walking by, hears this. She instantly hones in on the conversation.]'' Jill: "Go on." Caitlin: "Chill TV is filming my sweet sixteen. So what do you say? 30% off?" Jill: "You will have to mention Albatross & Finch." Caitlin: "Make it half-price, and I'll bring a camera crew into the store during an interview." Jill: "Deal." [to her co-worker] "Ring it up." Tricia: "Caitlin Cooke?" [Caitlin turns around, shocked.] "Gotta hand it to you, when it comes to shopping, you are a legend." Caitlin: "Oh!" [awkward] "Hi, Trish. Thanks." Tricia: "I know we've had our differences, but I've still never found a better shopping partner." Caitlin: "Really?" Tricia: "Look, I'm not big on honesty but, here goes. Remember how we always planned to have our sweet sixteen parties together?" Caitlin: "Course I do!" Tricia: "Well, I miss you, Cait. And I thought that maybe if we still did it, it might fix everything that's gone wrong between us." Caitlin: "I dunno." Tricia: "I know I abandoned you because you got that loser job at the lemon." Caitlin: "Yeah." Tricia: "And I framed you for shoplifting." Caitlin: "Hey, that's right." Tricia: "And I wrote awful things about you in the girls' bathroom at school." Caitlin: "You what?!?" Tricia: "But that doesn't mean I don't want to be your friend." Caitlin: "Really?" Tricia: "I think hanging with you made me a better person, Cait." Caitlin: "Aww!" Jill: [butting in] "Uh, excuse me, no showing emotion on the premises? Store policy." [She walks away.] Tricia: "If we throw a joint sweet sixteen, it will be a party people will talk about until they die. Let's go do what we do best." Caitlin: "You're on!" [Thus begins a mall-wide shopping spree that takes them from Huntington's to a swimsuit store to the photo booth.]

''[The boys are walking through the mall. Jude is wearing a police uniform and fake mustache.]'' Wyatt: "Jude read somewhere that perfect indoor ice requires a specific temperature. The mall's too hot." Jonesy: "No way. Who knew you could learn stuff by reading?" Jude: [stopping them] "Cover me." ''[Jude runs over to the thermostat, which is set at 21º. He takes out a screwdriver, undoes the control guard, and knocks the temperature down to a frosty 16º. Jude slaps the controls closed.]'' Jude: "It's chilling time."

''[The girls, meanwhile, are by the Big Squeeze. Caitlin is at work.]'' Caitlin: "So FYI, on my sweet sixteen–" Jen: "Need help? I'll make a cake! I make the most amazing carrot cake." Caitlin: "Oh, no thanks, Jen. So, I really need you guys to keep an open mind here." Jen: "I can make it with or without raisins–" Nikki: "Let the girl speak." Caitlin: "Okay. I'm going to have a joint sweet sixteen party–" [inhaling deeply] "–with Tricia." [The guys, who are walking towards the table, hear this.] Jonesy: "What?" Wyatt: "What?" Jude: "What?" Nikki: "You're kidding, right?" Caitlin: "No, for real. I know what you're all thinking." Jude, Wyatt, Jen, Nikki, and Jonesy: "Bad idea." Caitlin: "But I know Tricia better than all of you, and I think she's changed." Nikki: "People like that don't change." Caitlin: "C'mon, guys. Doesn't everyone deserve an eighth chance?" Jen: "We just don't want to see you get hurt by her again, Caitlin." Caitlin: "But if we have our parties separately, half the people I want at mine will be at hers. But if we do it together, everyone will be there." Jonesy: "That's true. One giant party would be off the hook." Wyatt: "Hey, if you want to give her another chance, we'll try too." Jude: "Affirmative." Caitlin: "Jen?" Jen: "All right." Caitlin: "Nikki?" Nikki: "Fine." Caitlin: [applauding] "Yay!" [normally] "Jonesy, Trish and I want to hire you to promote the party." [holding up a kooky outfit] "Just walk around like this and direct people to our party." Jonesy: "I don't think I want to dress like that." Caitlin: "We'll pay you." Jonesy: [putting on the outfit] "At your service." Caitlin: "Nikki and Jen, I need you to–" Jen: "Make animals out of napkins? I can do that." Caitlin: "No. Meet me and Tricia at Grind Me in an hour for a planning session." Jen: "Awesome! I'll bring pens." Caitlin: "Thanks guys." Nikki: [shivering] "Does anyone else find it cold in here today?" Jonesy: [about his vest] "I'm gonna try this on." Wyatt: [getting up] "Off to work." [Caitlin and Nikki stare at Jude, who is the only other person at the table.] Jude: "I have nowhere to go."

[Jen and Nikki are walking towards Grind Me.] Jen: "Tricia better not have some evil plan up her sleeve!" Nikki: "Who knows? Maybe she has changed. Even a snake can shed its skin." ''[Jen and Nikki walk into the cafe and gasp. Caitlin and Tricia are being shown fabrics by Gwen and Mandy.]'' Caitlin: "Cool!" Tricia: "No." Caitlin: "No." Tricia: "Absolutely not. Never." Caitlin: "Bad." Tricia: "Four of these." Caitlin: "No." Tricia: "Cute!" Caitlin: "Yes." Tricia: "Yuck." Caitlin: "No." [Jen walks up to them, a huge smile on her face, while Nikki hangs back, stunned.] Tricia: "No." Caitlin: "No." Nikki: [sarcastic] "This is gonna be fun." Jen: [smiling] "I brought pens!"

[Jude is pouring water onto the ice to freeze a new surface.] Wyatt: [reading a manual] "Once you have reached the optimum temperature, it is time to get your ice to the perfect thickness." Jude: "Did you hear that, ice? We're going to make you perfect!" [Jonesy walks in, clad in his costume.] "How's the new job, dude?" Jonesy: "Best gig ever! Great coin, and everyone who wants an invite thinks I'm the one they need to impress!" Wyatt: "Why would they think that?" Jonesy: "Because that's what I tell 'em." Jude: "Sweet!" Jonesy: "So is the ice ready yet?" [He starts to walk onto it.] Jude: "Whoa, dude, stop!" [He pushes Jonesy back.] "This is a work of art in pro-gress! No one stepped on the Mona Lisa before it was dry!" Wyatt: "I'm not sure anyone ever stepped on the Mona Lisa."

[Tricia and Caitlin are talking things over with Jen, Gwen, Mandy, and Nikki.] Tricia: "So what do we have so far?" Jen: "I'll read it back. Secretary, dibs!" [She clears her throat.] "Okay. We got the location, the theme, caterers and decorators, and Chill TV is confirmed." Nikki: "And I'll keep a registry at the Khaki Barn so no one ends up in the same dress as anybody else." Tricia: "Caitlin, great suggestions." [Caitlin smiles.] "I knew it was going to be fun to do this together." Caitlin: "I am so glad you want to use all my ideas!" Tricia: "For invites, I'm thinking gold coins with alternating 3D images of you and me on the front. What do you think?" Caitlin: "I love it. Now all I need to make it perfect is Benj as my date." [Tricia jerks, shocked.] Tricia: "Benj? Benj Turner? My Benj?" Caitlin: "I thought Benj was single." Tricia: "Right now he is, but I've been working on him for over a week, and I plan to be going out with him by Monday." Nikki: [to Jen sarcastically] "Uh, that doesn't sound evil at all." Caitlin: "I really thought he was getting close to asking me." [Tricia giggles.] Tricia: "Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to laugh, but come on." Caitlin: "What?" Jen: "Look, this is easy to solve. As long as you both agree to play fair. The first one he asks, wins." Tricia: "Is flirting allowed?" Caitlin: [contemplating it] "I would say...yes." [The two shake on it.] Tricia: "You're on." Caitlin: "Agreed." [They get up and head for the door.] Nikki: "Mandy, Gwen, thanks for all the laughs, hhhaa."

[Ron is taking a nap in his office.] Ron: [sleepily] "Don't be mad, mommy...achoo!" ''[Ron sneezes and falls off his chair. He leaps up, ready to fight.]'' Ron: "Who what where what who!" [He sneezes.] "Achoo!" [Ron starts shivering.] "Hmm."

''[Caitlin and Tricia are in Albatross & Finch. Tricia has a hat on.]'' Caitlin: "Oh, I love that hat!" Tricia: "Actually, it looks even better on you." [She puts the hat on Caitlin.] "As a matter of fact, I'm gonna buy it for you. Isn't that what friends do? Buy each other gifts? I saw it in a movie once." Benj: [walking up to them, shirtless] "Hey, Caitlin. That's a great hat." Caitlin: "Hi, uh, you, huh, have no shirt on." Benj: "I just got a job here. It's my first day!" Tricia: [hugging him] "Hi Benj! I'm buying Caitlin that hat. Just something I do. Nice stuff." Benj: "Yeah, I saw you try it on first, and you're definitely right. It looks better on Caitlin." [Tricia jolts back, shocked.] Caitlin: "Congrats on the new job. You look great in your, uh...uniform." Benj: "Thanks. I just wish it wasn't so cold in here today." [He shivers.] "Is it okay if I swing by the lemon tomorrow? I wanted to talk to you." Caitlin: "Sure! See you then." [Benj walks away.] "Thanks for the hat, Tricia–" Tricia: [snatching the hat] "On second thought, I really need a new hat. Maybe I'll buy you something another time."

[Ron comes over to the thermostat.] Ron: [shivering] "Temperature's down. Box still locked." [unlocking it] "Odd. I smell punk."

[Caitlin is serving Benj lemonade while Jen and Nikki sit by.] Caitlin: "Don't you need to take your shirt off to get ready for work?" [Nikki spittakes.] Benj: "It might be a little weird to wander around the mall without a shirt on, don't you think?" Caitlin: "Oh. Right." Benj: "So, about your sweet sixteen party." Caitlin: "Uh huh?" Benj: "I don't have a date yet." Caitlin: "Yeah?" [She leans closer to him.] Benj: "I thought maybe you and I–" Tricia: "Caitlin?" [She runs up.] "Are you ready to freak? Benj, just give us a sec, okay?" Benj: "I guess I'll see you later, Caitlin." Caitlin: [waving goodbye] "Come back on your break, I'll be here." [Benj leaves.] "No fair! You knew he was about to ask me!" Tricia: [taunting] "Oh, was he?" Jen: "Okay, that was dirty." Tricia: "I had no idea what they were talking about, I swear." Nikki: "Right. So what's the big emergency?" Tricia: "I got the invites, and I just wanted to show them to you." [She hands Caitlin an invite coin.] Caitlin: "Cool!" ''[She looks at it. The pictures on both sides are of Tricia.]'' "Oh no! They made a mistake! Both pictures are of you!" Tricia: "No mistake. I decided to go it alone." Caitlin: "What?" Tricia: "You were right, Cait." [She snatches the token back.] "We have so much bad history, it could never work. Oh, and try not to cry until I'm gone. It would just be...awkward." [Caitlin's lip quivers, but she holds back her tears as Tricia walks away.] Jen: "She's gone." [Caitlin bursts into tears.]

''[Jen and Nikki are comforting Caitlin. Wyatt and Jude walk up to the table.]'' Wyatt: "Got your text. What's going on?" Nikki: "Tricia double-crossed Caitlin. Stole the party out from under her." Jen: "She took all her ideas and money!" Wyatt: "But we still get to be on Chill TV, right?" [Caitlin stops crying for a second, then resumes bawling, this time even louder.] Nikki: "Nice." Caitlin: "I'm not having a sweet sixteen." Jen: "We'll throw you a sweet sixteen!" [Caitlin stops crying.] "I am now officially in charge! The party will go on! Right guys?" Nikki: "Right!" Jude: [looking at his drink] "Hey, how'd you make these ice cubes so clear?" [Underneath the table, Nikki kicks him.] "Ow-ha-how!" Nikki: "Okay, let's focus here." Wyatt: "Caitlin, it's going to be fine. We can still have a great party with no band, no food, and no...people." ''[Caitlin breaks into tears again. She leaves the table. Jonesy arrives, dressed in his work uniform.]'' Nikki: "Tricia totally sto–" Jonesy: "I heard, I heard!" Nikki: "Then why are you still dressed like Maharishi?" Jonesy: "Because I told Tricia that between Caitlin and the best party ever, I'd choose the party." Nikki: "WHAT?!?" Jonesy: "Give the Jonesmiester a little credit. I'm gonna sabotage the party by spreading the word that it's gonna suck out loud." Jen: "Oh!" Nikki: "Oh!" Wyatt: "Well, if there's one thing Jonesy's good at, it's taking something great, and ruining it." Jonesy: "Thank you, Wyatt." Jen: "No matter what happens, we've gotta make Caitlin's birthday into something really special."

''[Ron is shivering as he walks through the mall. Inside Albatross & Finch, Tricia is giving an interview.]'' Tricia: "I needed to make my sweet sixteen really special. So I used the party side of my brain, and came up with all these great ideas!" [dragging Benj onscreen] "Benj! Benj! Come talk to Chill TV!" Benj: "Hey. Can I ask you something personal?" Tricia: "Of course. Take five, guys." [Benj and Tricia walk away from the filming.] Benj: "I know you and Caitlin are good friends." Tricia: "The best." Benj: "I'm gonna ask her to the party. You know what kind of flowers she likes?" Tricia: "Oh, Benj. Caitlin's not interested." Benj: "Really? I thought she was kind of...into me." Tricia: "Well I thought so too, and so I asked, and she said...that she could do better." Benj: "Oh. I guess I had Caitlin all wrong." Tricia: "Personally, I think any girl would be lucky to have you as a date for their sweet sixteen." Benj: "Thanks." Tricia: [impatient] "Any girl." Benj: "Thanks." Tricia: [waving her hand in front of his face] "Any girl, standing in front of you! Me!" Benj: "You want me to take you to your sweet sixteen?" Tricia: "Oh, Benj! You see right through me!" ''[Tricia swoons into Benj's arms. She snaps her fingers, and a camera focuses on her.]''

''[Jude is watching the ice. He sees a little girl skating and gasps. He runs over and picks her up.]'' Jude: "Why, little dudette, why?!?" Middle-Aged Woman: "Is there a problem?" Jude: "The ice, and the hopping and the crunching...out, out out!" [getting on his knees] "I have ice to save." [He breathes on it and tries to smooth it over.] "These grooves are too deep. This can only mean one thing. The security dude turned the heat back up!"

''[Jude, in drag, turns the heat down. He slaps the control panel shut and leaves.]''

[Wyatt is at work when Jen and Nikki walk in holding a gold-colored dress.] Wyatt: "Hey guys." Jen: "Can you keep this somewhere so that Caitlin doesn't see it?" Nikki: "It's the dress we got her for her birthday." Wyatt: "Sure. I'll put it in the freezer. How did you two afford this?" Jen: "I had some money saved up I was gonna use for a new bike." Nikki: "I had to take a big pay advance and agree to clean the staff bathroom for the next three months." Wyatt: "Don't worry, it's in safe hands." ''[Wyatt walks into the freezer and hangs up the dress. Tim looks out from behind a slab of meat.]'' Tim: "That's a lovely dress, Wyatt." Wyatt: "Oh, my friend's sweet sixteen–" Tim: "You aren't one of those weirdos who enjoys putting sides of beef in dresses to practice dancing!" Wyatt: "What?" Tim: "Are you a meat dancer, Wyatt?" Wyatt: "A meat dancer? No!" Tim: "It's okay, Wyatt. I used to be a meat dancer too. It's how I got started." Wyatt: "Start–" Tim: "Yep. But now I'm a competitive ballroom dancer. I'm officially out of the freezer." Wyatt: "Well, I–" Tim: "Want me to teach you? I knew you were going to ask." Wyatt: "Actually, I was–" Tim: [throwing Wyatt into a dance] "Hoping to start now. All right." [as they dance] "I'm glad you asked, because otherwise I would have had to fire you for dancing with the meat." Wyatt: "Fire me?" Tim: "No fear of that now. Not going to fire my new ballroom prodigy." [Wyatt whimpers.] "Remember, Wyatt, it's about passion. Show me your passion for dance." [slinging Wyatt around] "One two three one two three one two..."

[Jonesy is talking with two teenagers.] Jonesy: "Straight up, this party is gonna be lame." Fat Guy: "No way." Baseball Cap Teen: "It's gonna be the party of the year." Jonesy: "Going to this party will be the biggest mistake of your life–" [he turns and sees Gwen and Mandy] "–'cause I...know I'm fired."

[Nikki is cleaning the staff washroom.] Kristen and Kirsten: "You missed a spot!" [They chortle.] "We said the same thing!" [They giggle.] "We did it again!" [They laugh.] Kirsten: "Is that ever cool!" Nikki: [faux cheerful] "Yeah, it's almost like between you, there's only one brain." Kirsten: "Oh my gosh. She's right!" Kristen and Kirsten: [joyful] "We share a brain! We share a brain! We share a brain! We share a brain!"

''[Jude is at the ice rink. Jonesy arrives, now clothed normally.]'' Jonesy: "How's the ice?" Jude: "High-quality maximum slide." Jonesy: "I'll be the judge of that." [He leaps on the ice and slides.] "Good one! WWWHHHHOOOAAA!" ''[Jonesy slams into the boards. Jude gets on his knees and pats the ice.]'' Jude: "Sweet."

[Tim and Wyatt are wiping down the counters at work.] Tim: "Maybe we should introduce you to the tango." Wyatt: [sighing] "Fine." [The two begin dancing behind the counter.] Tim: "There's that passion I was talking about."

[Tricia is being filmed at the site of her party.] Tricia: "This is all wrong! I want the curtains to have valence tops and a bigger sway!" [Angry, Tricia tears down the curtains.] Benj: "I think they're working as hard as they can, Tricia." Tricia: [angry] "I didn't ask for your opinion!" [She realizes she's being filmed and instantly turns sweet.] "I just want it to be perfect."

[Jude opens the lock on the thermostat with a screwdriver and turns the temperature...up?] Ron: "Ah ha! Caught you red-handed, maggot! What do you think you're doing?" Jude: "Turning up the heat." Ron: "Just as I th–turning up the heat?" Jude: "Yeah, getting a bit chilly in here, don't you think?" Ron: "Yes I did. Good work, soldier. Keep a lookout for the culprit who keeps turning it down." Jude: "Roger that."

[At the end of her shift, Caitlin removes her uniform.] Jen: "C'mon, Caitlin, just forget about Tricia!" Caitlin: "I can't. She stole my money, all my great ideas, my date, and right now she's probably wearing the most beautiful dress ever." Nikki: "Yep. I bet Tricia, Mandy, and Gwen all look fantastic in it." Caitlin: "What?" Nikki: "I'll explain later. Go put this on." [Nikki hands Caitlin a gift-wrapped box.] Caitlin: "Aww!"

[The party is going strong.] DJ: "Let's hear it for Tricia, with her two best friends Mandy and Gwen!" ''[Tricia steps into a spotlight, flanked by her friends. All of them are wearing the same purple dress. The crowd laughs.]'' Benj: [laughing] "They're all wearing the same dress!" Tricia: [angry] "You think this is funny? I never should have stolen you away from Caitlin! You two totally deserve each other." Benj: "I'm outta here. Don't forget to smile pretty for the camera, Tricia." [Tricia gasps as she realizes the whole encounter was captured on tape.] Tricia: [smiling meekly] "We can edit some of this stuff out, right?" [realizing the answer] "Oh, whatever." [Tricia shoves the camera away as she storms off in a huff.]

''[The guys are standing by the ice rink dressed in nice suits. Wyatt is on the phone.]'' Wyatt: "Yeah sure. Done." [He hangs up.] "Jen says they'll be here any second. Light it up." [Jonesy connects two electrical cords, and sparkly lights over the rink light up.] Jude: "Sweet! Now check this!" [He connects two more cords, and fog wafts over the ice.] Jonesy: "Nice!" Wyatt: "Whoa! How'd you do that?" Jude: "As the good book says, warm temperature and humidifiers cause ice to fog. Read it." Jonesy: "Won't that ruin your perfect ice?" Jude: "Yeah, but this is a special occasion." [Jen and Nikki lead a blindfolded Caitlin to the edge of the rink.] Jen: "Here we are, Caitlin." [She removes the blindfold.] Jude, Jen, Nikki, Jonesy, and Wyatt: "Happy birthday, Caitlin!" Caitlin: [delighted] "It's beautiful! You guys did all of this for me?" Nikki: "Well, Jen did most of the planning." Jen: "You guys did great work! And it was fun with the color-coded spreadsheet, right?" Caitlin: "Thanks, guys. This is the best sweet sixteen party I could have ever imagined." Jen: "So, who's gonna be Caitlin's first sweet sixteen dance partner?" ''[Wyatt takes Caitlin's hand and leads her onto the ice. Dawgtoy begins to play as Wyatt dances with Caitlin excellently.]'' Caitlin: "Wow. Where did you learn to dance like this?" Wyatt: "Don't ask." Benj: [tapping Wyatt on the shoulder] "Hey. Can I cut in?" Caitlin: [gasping] "Benj! You came!" Benj: "There's nowhere I would rather be, and no one I would rather be with. Happy sweet sixteen, Caitlin." [The rest of the group looks on as the two dance.]

[Caitlin walks into the Stereo Shack, where the rest of her friends are gathered.] Caitlin: "Okay okay, stop texting, I'm here!" Nikki: "I thought you might want to see this." [Jonesy turns on the TV.] TV: "Tonight on Chill TV, the Sweet 16 Queen of Mean." Onscreen Tricia: [to Benj] "I didn't ask for your opinion!" [in another scene] "I should never have stolen you away from Caitlin! You two totally deserve each other!" [shoving a camera away] "Oh, whatever." Cameraman: [falling] "AAAH!" [Jonesy turns the TV off.] Caitlin: "Well I am glad they saw her for who she really is. After all, no one deserves a ninth chance." Nikki: "You got that right." Jen: "That's for sure." Wyatt: "Eight strikes, you're out."
